Howdy peeps,

I've noticed, as of recent, a lot of people are posting in support threads just for the sake of posting and not really bringing anything to the table. I'd like to inform regular users to refrain from posting in support threads if they do not concern you, unless you have evidence to provide i.e., screenshots or eyewitness.

To any moderators I advice you close threads that are dead/have been dealt with. Now with that in mind anyone posting in support threads as a third party, the posts will be considered spam and will result in a warning. Any violations after that will require punishment.

With all this taken into consideration we can keep the support section clean for our staff to conduct daily duties quick and efficiently. I've taken the liberty to update the support rules, refer to them here:

Thank you for your time.

Hey Guys,

Just letting yous know I've been away a bit for work and holidays last week and this week.

Will be back next week though to do the world reset and probably a few other minor adjustments.

tShock devs have kicked into gear and are working on new updates, Wolfje now helping them out a bit too, so this should see some helpful changes as well as SEconomy 2.0 underway.

I'm also trying to get a hold of the anti-infinest plugin which is definately going to help keep hackers at bay.

kind regards

Panther

Good morning/afternoon Terrarians!

It's come to my attention that we have had players asking for the username and passwords to other player's account including those that belong to staff members. So let's review some basic internet safety shall we?

#1 PROTECT YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD
This goes without saying. It's YOUR ID and password. So YOU are the one who should be using it.

#2 PHISHING IS A BANNABLE OFFENSE.
Not a day, not an hour but FOR GOOD. I mean come on now folks. The staff is very well aware of WHY people are doing this and let's be honest. It won't work

#3 STAFF MEMBERS ARE NOT STUPID
Let's be real for a second. You honestly think Myself or anyone else would be dumb enough to hand over our staff accounts to anyone? No. So with that in mind: ASKING STAFF FOR THEIR USERNAME AND PASSWORD WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN

Also please bare in mind that if you do fall for a phishing scam we will not assist you in getting your account back. So that about does it, enjoy the server folks and please: USE COMMON SENSE

Just an FYI guys, I'll be away this week for work, so may not be responding to PMs or online.

Map reset is done, althought I didnt get to finish building the top of the towers, which i was planning to turn into mini arenas, and the VIP vote winners have been announced. I will try to apply the VIP accounts as well as any VIP purchases, but I receive email notifications for those things so it should be fine.

Cya next week, have fun.

Hey Guys,

Again we had several people with maximum votes. Those people have been placed into a draw to determine the VIP winners, and those people are :

Kane Wrote:Some new 1.3 Spoilers that was posted yesterday!

Greetings everyone!

All of us on the Terraria development team hope and trust that each of you had a pleasant a restful holiday season. While we took some time to spend with friends and family as well, we have also been hard at work on the 1.3 update. It is our desire that 1.3 live up to everyone's expectations and leave an epic, lasting impact on the game.

It's been a while since we shared some substantial spoilers - so to make up for that gap, you will find a larger-than-usual list of stuff from 1.3 to whet your appetite. Hope you enjoy them!

One of our areas of focus with Terraria 1.3 is an interface upgrade. Clearly, this is a core part of the game experience with which players will constantly interact - so we have taken great care to make the interface more clear, pleasing to the eye, and to enhance it's level of interactivity. Below are a few examples of these efforts:



Player Interface Upgrades - Icons & Text



We have upgraded how icons appear/work: things in your inventory will now have their edges lighten up once the cursor is over them.

In addition, a lot of buttons such as reforging, opening the crafting grid, PVP, and teams got a visual update -we even added a 5th pink team!



We also noted that a lot of in-game text is currently hard to read due to how it blends in with the backgrounds - so we've gone on a bordering spree and are making sure everything has the right amount of clarity and contrast to it is easier to to view and read (even item stack amounts).

(Please Note: This is a work in process and may not reflect the final version.)



Player Interface Upgrades - Inventory & Shopping



On the interactivity end of the spectrum, we have made great strides. In an earlier spoiler Cenx showed everyone you can now link items in chat - but that is merely the beginning of the changes we have made!

Items in your inventory can now be "favorited". When you "favorite" an item, you will not be able to accidentally throw, trash sell or stack it into a chest!

To further help streamline inventory management, you can now quick stack items to all nearby chests. This feature will place items in chests that already have stacks started for certain items. (If you do not have a stack started you will need to manually open the chests.)



We also realized that shopping in Terraria could be improved. With 1.3, when paying for goods from NPCs, you can now see the money contained in your piggy bank or safe, and use your savings to pay! (no more running back and forth from your bank)

We even upgraded crafting to take advantage of these improvements - you will be able to craft from an open chest (including the piggy bank and safe)! To further enhance this feature, chests now show as open when they're in use, so you can tell which is which.



Player Interface Upgrades - Maps, Data, & Screenshots

We have also taken the time to augment how information is displayed to the player by making all the accessories that provide data (time/depth, and so on) work by simply sitting in your inventory. In addition, we added a bunch more of these - such as items which display the weather, moonphase, DPS, and more!

The information items you have will also share their effects with any nearby player, but you can easily hide information from your screen when it interrupts you!





We have also added a new method for taking screen shots within the game. When you enable our new Screen Capture mode, you will be able to take larger scale pictures of your worlds and builds rather than using the old method of taking many smaller pictures and piecing them together!

(Thank you to all of our amazing testers involved in this build!)



Further additions include the map marking the last spot where you've died and being able to see text inside signs when you hover your cursor over them from a distance...plus a few other details that I'll leave hidden for now.



On behalf of the entire Terraria dev team, I hope you enjoy these spoilers and that they continue to keep you hyped and excited for Terraria 1.3!
