Terraria 1.2

[Smoke]

I went through a few pages to see if there was already a Terraria thread, and the only one I saw was from a year ago and was essentially dead. So I figured I'd make one in regards to all things Terraria. Whether it be discussing things about the 1.2 update coming to us on October 1st or just a place to talk servers and all that good stuff. Spoilering, well, spoilers of the update would be appreciated in the instance some unsuspecting player comes in here and sees a ton of spoilers that he/she didn't want to see.

Note: I'm aware that Terraria isn't exactly the most popular indie game out there and that this thread may just die out, but I'm also sure I'm not the only one on this forum who plays it. It's here if people figure they want a place to discuss it and that works for me.

Aghhh I love this game!! So the release date was confirmed for October 1st or is that just speculation? I have had the game on the computer since around a month before the 1.1 update. And does 1.2 come for the same time for all platforms? (Mobile, console, PC?) I am just about to start a new playthrough with my cousin on the PS3, but now I want to hold off for October 1st because if new map elements are introduced you might need a fresh map to generate the new stuff.

The update was indeed confirmed to release on October 1st. About a week and a half left to go haha.
For those interested, here's the trailer for the update. Beware, there is a fair amount of spoilers.

Ohh gosh... I really hope this isn't PC exclusive. I only have a problem with it being exclusive to PC because I would love to play this with my cousin on the PS3... Multiplayer is so much easier to manage, and doesn't require as much of a speedy internet connection. I set up a server on my PC and he played on our laptop, and it lagged quite a bit. That was when he was visiting our house... He lives 10 hours away. His computer stinks, and he would need to get a steam account, buy terraria again, and get a mic for the PC instead of using his awesome 250$ headset for the PS3. I do not know if it is usable with the PC as well though...

I don't understand why people have such a problem with stuff being put on ALL platforms... Just because the PC version existed longer doesn't mean that anyone should get privileges over anyone else, or extra features. Terraria should be an identical version for the most part across all systems. Now, I know this may be somewhat of a push to get Terraria over one system rather than the other, and give someone a reason to purchase the game across multiple systems, which means more money, but... Err... this drives me insane I have an issue with exclusives. They should have never kept Ocram away from the PC, along with the extra minor enemies, and the extra tier of armor, and a couple weapons. That to me seems like a straight up attack on the PC, but now I guess the console players will be suffering through a form of payback? I have no idea. Why not save everyone from lot of fighting and just make it available to everyone?

Or I may have just misunderstood and wasted 5-10 minutes of my time typing this nonsense xD

...But I am pretty sure it said "Coming to PC, October 1st."

Anyway, sorry in advance for a lot of sentences that probably made no sense, because I am tired, and have a lot of thoughts that I would rather not put into a 500 page article. I tried, but my post ended up being much longer than it probably should have.

Sounds PC-Exclusive to me.

Fear not, for 505Games and Engine are going to work to port the update to consoles. It's just going to take a little while and a lot of money.
