I'm thinking of picking this up. I heard the controls were a bit squiffy when it originally came out so I avoided it. I'd be playing this on an iphone. Are the controls still off or have they been improved via an update?
They're alright. They aren't terrible. But, they are touchscreen controls, so saying they aren't terrible is like saying watching a 2D black and white movie at 15 frames per second that should be in 3D, colour and 24 frames per second isn't *that* frustrating. Put it this way, I bought it on iPad and spent an hour with it. I bought it on Vita and spent weeks with it.
Hardmode update was supposed to come out tonight, but it looks like they found a bug at the last second that needed fixing. There's some screenshots here! I've played the beta and the controls are still pretty stiff, unfortunately. Definitely lacking a lot of precision versus the PC version.
I caved in and bought the game in the end. Controls are a bit fiddly at the start but I think I'm used to them now. Enjoying multiplayer. This seems to be well implemented and it was fairly easy to set up a game. Played about 4 hours so far. Not sure what's different from this and the PC version. My son says there are differences but I'm struggling to spot any.
Since the update for PC came out with new Dungeons, Mineral Ores and Enemys, I am waiting for it at the mobile application. Will there be an update on iOS with this new "PC-Game-Features"?
Having never played the PC version, I didn't have anything to compare the controls to when I started playing on my iPad. As a result, I just sort of got pretty good with them. In fact, I am terrible at the PC version because I'm used to the ipad controls. One thing that makes the ios version MUCH easier is the fact that you don't need torches when you dig as there always seems to be some ambient light. Anyway, it's my preferred platform for Terraria, controls and all so don't hold off because you are afraid it's broken.
I've tested it on iPad mini. Smooth as allways. I was expecting bigger worlds... But I guess I'll have to wait. The new aiming system works surprisingly good.
The update is available! Hard mode is here! Oh wait! After I defeated Wall of Flesh in the old version I didn't receive the Pwnhammer. Do I have to defeat it again?
I had 3 saves before updating and I still have them. But I don't remember getting the Pwnhammer after defeating Wall of Flesh, probably because there wasn't hard mode back then and that was the end of the line. What should I do now? Defeating it again? Begin a new game?
Since the wall drops the Pwnhammer, I'm pretty sure you will have to fight it one more time. I can't think of any other way to do it unless the game secretly kept track of whether or not you'd beaten it, in which case the hammer would probably just appear in your inventory.
The Pwnhammer is not in my inventory or any of my chests. That sucks... It was hard for me to defeat it when I was playing well, so now that I'm rusted and forgot a lot of things I'm screwed.
Thanks, just updated and everything was good. And they finally added the worms 3 pets and holy grenade, the recipe is in my inventory. And the pwnhammer was introduced in this update.
Already liking the update, havent even gotten to hardmode yet. You can buy her at the clothier for one platinum.
Well, I really think killing the Wall of Flesh after the update is the only way to get the Pwnhammer. I've done it and I've got it (and a Nasty Pwnhammer). I thought it would be hard, but I forgot I've made an arena which makes pretty easy to kill it.
Finally took the plunge now that hard mode has been included, downloaded just now and it keeps crashing. Open the app, black screen for roughly 5 seconds, crashes back to home screen. Tried hard resetting my iPad but it's still happening. IPad Air running iOS 7.1.2 :/
