Wow that is some epic stuff! Seriously impressive man, wow!

I liked the art hall, the enemy farming zones and just how freaking big your house is. Was that off a small world?

That makes sense. After our large world my small starter world seems pretty small. But one can always reroll :)

I know, that's what makes it awesome. Very curious to checkout Minecraft for that end too.

I am most likely going to pick up Minecraft in the next bit and try it. Let you know how that develops... I might post something about it :)

Awesome, if you find it let me know.

Didn't know it was coming so fast after talking it up. Good on em to end the fire hose when it dropped.

Hopefully it helps clean up some issues people have. I want to love this game more!

A few changes I thought were interesting no one has mentioned so far:

* The last follower a player had active in a single-player game will now be restored automatically after leaving a multiplayer game
* The frequency of follower dialog has been reduced

Both seem like good ideas.

Dropped already, ill be checking it out this evening I hope.

I think your findings are correct. I got way more blues and yellows and they were better. More gold. Monsters were easier and there were more of them I found.

Attacks I didn't normally use WAY more powerful. Oh and it was fun for a bit and then I went back to Skyrim. All told, its a good improvement and I am eager to play it more.

This is an interesting idea. Give people more levels to hit after 60 and some added benefit to that progression.

Kind of wondered given Jay Wilson's recent flap if he would say anything, looks like not :)

Yep. Me too.

Something I don't use a lot but some new UI love would be a really great thing!

The underground jungle was damn fun. Annoying at times, but tons of fun.

This server is honestly one of my favorite experiences in gaming. You guys are all awesome to play with. Terraria is so deceptively deep, and it was great discovering it all with you guys, building tons of awesome stuff, and taking out bosses.

Any privacy concerns with 4shared? I've never used it but need to create an account if I want to download that file. Just want to make sure they aren't going to steal my identity or burn my house down or anything nefarious.

Well, I did, but the FBI shut it down :) Haven't looked into it much since then. Megaupload was awesome.

I guess there's always Google or Dropbox.

But I don't mind creating an account, as long as it's safe, or there's always bugmenot.com :)

I have incorporated some key elements of our world into my own and finished my base. Video is uploading, but it's going to take some time.

And now, just in time for the Diablo 3 patch, I think I'm done with Terraria for a while.

Wow. They are really addIng a lot to the game. More than I thought they would frankly. More levels beyond 60 does increase the end game but I hope it's more than just more grinding.

Yeah, it seems that is happening with it. No problems with that here immediately. That said, they could patch it and change it so much that it doesnt resemble what it was. Kind of sad because in that case you cant roll back to play what it was.

Kind of a loss of the 1.0, which whereas 1.0 wasn't awesome it was 1.0 and to lose that if the game goes to something different would be unfortunate in a way.

Too bad I don't have an Android phone!

:D Me too!

I watched a tournament game. I have no idea what the hell was going on.

I got into the beta a while back but haven't jumped in yet. I mean, I got the beta invite during the Steam sale, come on! What did they expect?

But being one of the last 5 people left who haven't played the original DOTA, I was kinda lost. It looks a bit like what would happen if a Diablo-style game got dropped into the Warcraft world, with a few mechanics of War3 coming in as well.

That's always been my problem with super competitive games. People are so serious about it you are practically helpless if you don't dedicate 16 hours a day to it.

I much prefer games with friends than games with strangers who will just annihilate you or grief. For example, I played a little CoD4:MW online, and I just don't see the appeal. It's not that the game isn't well-made, or that the content isn't fun, it's the *people* who ruin it. Same with Halo 3. I just play solo unless I can play with friends.

Addendum to the above: The only exception is TF2. Maybe the "It's too cartoon bro, why would you ever play that junk?" mentality drove away all the assholes. I played TONS of TF2 online and loved every minute. A teammate I was on at one point said "Wow, I don't even care that we're getting our asses handed to us, I feel honored to see this. They are AMAZING."

How often would you hear that in CoD?

1.0.4.

And yeah, the Witch Doctor changes are sweet. After Normal my pets were paper. Some people had success with pet builds but after some serious gearing. Since I was more arm chair I had to find a build natural to the WD that would work and it was a fine powerful build but wasn't how I wanted to play it.

This looks pretty epic, but I wonder if the other summons will get buffs too. Having a screen full of pets would be awesome and I am really interested in checking out the full patch notes.

Bears are pretty popular as is, so it makes sense they are not getting buffed. Havent played my WD high enough to use the ability. After 1.0.4 I will though :)
