Thread 717964039

new player here, what world gen should i go for? any reason to not play on large?

A large world for a solo player is extremely tedious. I suggest Medium.

Classic Medium Corruption on Normal Difficulty is the best way to start the game. Once you get a grasp of things, check out the other options.

>>717964189
>Tedious
Meme word from a fucking dude that probably modded his game to hell and back with "QoL"
>>717964039 (OP)
Go for large, expert and corruption for the intended experience

>>717964248
I don't have any clue what you are talking about with your reply to me.

Your suggestions on how to play this game are patently stupid for a new player.

>>717964039 (OP)

Terraria is shit

>>717964189
Agreed, >>717964248 is a retard OP.

>>717964039 (OP)
large is fun
also I would recommend using the anniversary seed for an even cooler world

>>717964248
>Go for large, expert and corruption for the intended experience
There is nothing wrong with a brand new player starting on Classic to get familiar with how the game works. Classic still has plenty of challenge if you're playing it straight and not cheesing everything.

>>717964317
I have always played this game on a Large world even solo. It doesn't make anything tedious, if anything it gives you more shit to find. I don't know why people even suggest small or medium unless they're trannies speedrunning.

>>717964413
You not liking it doesn't make it "shit."

>>717964486
>It doesn't make anything tedious,
Because you have 1,500 hours in the game and know how everything works.

>>717964039 (OP)
There's no reason not to play on a large world unless you're a casual shitter. More variety in the world, more opportunities for rare items, much stronger sense of progression both in terms of exploration and items.

>>717964486
large also makes building boss arena's easier. I've seen my friend get fucked by a tiny ass jungle he had to fight plantera in, lmao

>>717964546
Nigger I have played this ever since it released on EA, of course I know everything but since you have a nigger level IQ let me reiterate.

I have always played this game using a large world, even when I was new to the game.

>>717964617
Such a weird thing to both lie about and be defensive about.

>>717964546
>You know how everything works
the game itself tells you this with the guide, the bestiary and now all the random npcs
What's there to know?

>>717964661
What reason do I have to lie? I was only reiterating because your nigger brain didn't seem to understand what I said.

>>717964039 (OP)
play large, expert. crimson/corruption doesn't matter as much since you're new, set it to random if you want.
the only argument against large is the fact that getting around might take a while, but you can solve that issue pretty early on.

>>717964697
That it isn't worth your time to try to cross the corruption in a large world the first time you get there because there isn't anything beyond it that's going to help you right now.


>>717964735
>What reason do I have to lie?
Fuck if I know.

If you only played on large maps, and never played on anything else, your perspective is obviously skewed. You'll say large maps because it worked for you without giving a thought to any other experience.

>>717964039 (OP)
Large Journey Corruption
Then in journey settings raise difficulty to master, or expert if you want an easier time
Talk to the Guide then show him every item with Material tag

>>717964834
>You'll say large maps because it worked for you without giving a thought to any other experience.
What else am I supposed to base my advice on? Are you retarded? I'm saying I was a new player, I've always played on large maps, I have never had an issue with it.

Holy fuck you're stupid, stop replying to me.

>>717964834
>That it isn't worth your time to try to cross the corruption in a large world the first time you get there because there isn't anything beyond it that's going to help you right now.
Yeah why would anyone explore the world in an exploration / building game right?
Better start getting that hellevator going from the moment we spawn! Because the point of the game is the bossfights and anything before that is worthless!

>>717964876
>What else am I supposed to base my advice on?
Are you trolling me?

>>717964924
I'm glad that there are so many people on /v/ who see no issue with just bashing their heads against the wall to progress in a video game. It's great that you guys have so much free time in your lives.

>>717964039 (OP)
I like medium. Large worlds take unnecessarily longer to do things.

With small worlds you run into problems of items just not being on the map because they didn't generate. Verified that with an external program one time. So I took my character to another world and got what I needed from a chest.

>>717964039 (OP)

yep, it's gaming time.

>>717964039 (OP)
>any reason not to go large
larger world size means it takes more time to get the far edges / sides and bottom of the map (which you will need to do progress) but i like it personally and don't bother with anything smaller

>>717964986
>I'm glad that there are so many people on /v/ who see no issue with just bashing their heads against the wall to progress in a video game. It's great that you guys have so much free time in your lives.
Yeah there's people that don't look up guides in how to play onlline and how to minmax before even starting the game and actually try to experience it
We call them... Non faggots

>>717964413
This

>Expert
>For their first playthrough
I know the games been out for 10+ years, but if you're unironically new going to expert immediately is retarded. A player who doesn't know all the little tricks, meta weapons, and ways to optimize their stats and arenas is going to get completely curb stomped in expert.

Is this why people say terraria is a wiki game? Because 4chan retards are too proud to just play the game organically, and swap to expert mode when they're actually an expert, and not just because their ego doesn't allow them to play normally?

>not world hopping for max resources
>not doing the ghost trick to map out floating islands and get good gear early

Large is actually fucking huge
Medium is a little big
Small can be a little too small and make fighting some bosses harder.
If it's your first world, go medium.

>>717965158
>meta
>in terraria
nigga go classless and use a bit of everything
wtf nigga
game is boringly easy on normal btw, expert is the way to go

>>717965229
a new player doesn't even know there are classes

If you just want to fuck around and build shit just start a journey mode

>>717965229
rushing orbs and floating islands is unintuitive for new player
the ore mining being a red herring isn't very welcoming

>>717964039 (OP)
Large and Corruption should be the way to go for new players.

If you're brand new and know nothing start on normal difficulty, medium sized world. Then do a replay on expert difficulty with a large sized world. Expert is basically the "normal" difficulty, with normal genuinely being too easy, but you'll enjoy expert a lot more if you've played the game on normal once. Terraria is a game you play tons of times anyway, and expert actually changes things in a neat way. If your first playthrough is on expert you'll miss out on some cool moments.

>>717965475
ore mining isn't a red herring, at most the weapons you craft from it are, but even that's arguable. armor and tools made from bars are invaluable in the early game.

>>717965694
Normal is a perfectly fine difficulty and a lot of people have completely unrealistic expectations for what "good difficulty in Terraria" looks like.
I know, I have over 1000 hours in Terraria.

you should probably start on the getfixedboi seed if you want an honest and fair experience

Unironically what is happening to me now, I'm picking up Terraria again after years of not playing and I'm doing Master Mode, even though I never even beat Expert in the past, and I'm too stubborn to just start over in Classic even though I'm genuinely not having fun.

>>717966002
Please do not actually the master mode
It is dumb.
Not Castle Crashers insane mode dumb
But it's very close.
It basically exists for youtube clickbait and to add boss themed pets without making people who already have fully completed worlds feel left out.

>>717965229
There "aren't metas" in Terraria because things like >>717965475 were adopted as the standard way to play by Expert instead of something you do on occassion
Expert could've very well restored unbombable ebonstone and locked chests

>>717966002
Master is literally not worth it, specially after they nerfed the black spot
the only master mode item that's actually worthwhile

>>717966174
you can cheese every boss in master mode except the empress, but you need a slime statue which can be hard to get

>>717966202
>There "aren't metas" in Terraria because things like >>717965475 were adopted as the standard way to play by Expert
Someone that didn't look guides online doesn't know

>>717966002
potion it up
try to set up a little alchemy farm as early as you can, you need to be on your A game AND be buffed to the gills while fighting bosses

whichever game mode gives you the extra boss items and a large world with corruption
Having a large world actually forces you to engage with the pylon and building systems, also more chances to get cool stuff from chests. You don't need a wiki to play either basically everything can be intuited from the guide and his crafting menu

>>717966002
mastermode is a giga meme
expert is cool because it actually adds new gameplay to enemies to make them harder, master mode just makes everything into an insta-kill damage sponge

>>717964486
it's because of the purification achievement. Of course, you can always just bring all your OP shit to a new small world and get it by purifying that one

>>717964039 (OP)
go for "ywnbaw" seed

a large world is best if you don't plan on doing any worldhopping to get loot/items that may not exist in your world.
small is best if for if you do extensive worldhopping as it lets you speedrun all the chests/biomes in the world quickly to look for shit like pyramids and shit
medium is basically a middle ground for if you want a 'main' world if you do decide to go worldhopping for loot

>>717964039 (OP)
play on medium or small
large is a double-edged sword. it can be good but i can also see newfags disliking it when they already fall for the bloat meme

>>717964039 (OP)
Medium or large world. Small worlds are tiny and can have horrible generation like a nano-scale jungle. Expert mode (classic is a kiddie mode, master mode is difficult unless you're an experienced player). Corruption and Crimson are both great, I prefer Crimson for items but Corruption has an undeniably better soundtrack and is slightly less difficult.

2D Minecraft

>>717966174
If you're a super autist like me you'll reach the point where you've played the game enough that only master mode has the challenge to actually be any fun. And even that gets boring once you move onto stupid modded modes like Eternity, Masochist, and Death where you might have to try dozens of times to beat a single boss.

>>717966002
Buff up, make proper arenas with passives and go full Warding (+4def) on your accessories if you don't know the fights well.

>classic
>expert
There are 0 reasons to play anything other than Journey. It literally covers all difficulties and more.

>>717964039 (OP)
Don't fall for the vanilla meme. Your first playthrough should be Master Death Calamity mod.

>>717969252
>Corruption has an undeniably better soundtrack
Worst take itt
They are both bangers
When these parts come on I always hang around just to listen to them.

https://youtu.be/1MPrk78diZo?si=1LDTR7ZZ-bOHrkB2&t=80

just make an afk farm

>>717966002
There's no shame in bumping back down to Expert if you don't want to go all the way to Classic. But if you really are going to stick with it, then I highly recommend fishing for crates, especially oasis crates. Get a reinforced fishing pole and find a desert oasis to fish in - there's always shitloads of dragonflies to catch, so you can keep yourself stocked up on bait. A
Don't forget to fish during a blood moon too - you can set up a "fishing cage" that will keep you safe while you chip a caught enemy to death so you can get a decent ranged weapon for bosses.

>>717964039 (OP)
Your first mistake was asking this on /v/.

>>717964039 (OP)
>new player here, what world gen should i go for? any reason to not play on large?

Don't. It simply isn't really a good game at all.
I have about 100 hours on it blindly, no guides.
I played it that much because I'm autist and was curious, not because I was entertained or having fun.
Without elaborating too much, it's just never ending grinding. Bad exploration. Shitty NPCs. Awful combat. Okayish soundtrack.
Technically better than Minecraft.

>>717971090
>never ending grinding
it has an ending though

If I build my whole town underground, will npc keep coming to me?

>>717964039 (OP)
You can play medium just fine. The actual important choice is playing classic (boy's choice ) or expert (men's choice)

>>717973328
yes.

>>717973328
If you have suitable housing, yes. I think the only place you can't make a house in this game is the corruption/crimson

>>717974390
the dungeon too.

>>717964039 (OP)
I prefer large, it never seemed too big even on my first run.

>>717964039 (OP)
Yeah, large, pick crimson too, it has better drops, and the world must be expert (expert is the way the game is meant to be played, and it isn't actually for expert players or anything, seasoned players in search of challenge use master mode, normal is actually easy mode)

>>717974390

Why do I have two houses that NPC have come to live there while there are two absolutely same houses that no one comes into? Despite merchants constantly appearing in my camp.

>>717975698
You can check if the houses are suitable, there's a little house icon and you can use the "?" and click on a house to see if it has any problems and if it's suitable. If no NPCs are coming even though the house is suitable, you most likely have all the NPCs you have available to you right now, every NPC has different requirements, but they are fairly intuitive. The guide can offer you some advice on how to bring more NPCs in.
