This is why I don’t play Terraria with new people. And they all act like this too. Why can’t Minecraft fans play Terraria? Is it too big brain for them? They’re all like this too.
>make literally one set of armor >everyone freaks out and starts calling you faggot and tryhard
Parker Murphy
I think a lot of people go into the game with a fundamental misunderstanding of what kind of game it is. If their mindset is "2D Minecraft", they will struggle. Also simple interface shit tends to hold people back, especially if they aren't accustomed to 2D games

How. I gave him over half my healing potions and a cloud in a bottle.
I don’t even have any equipment

All my friends are very good because I only play with people who take games seriously. Yet everyone struggles so hard with Terraria and Don’t Starve. Literally the only thing people can into is Minecraft for some reason

Don't play games with retarded faggots? Not enjoying the type of gameplay Terraria has is one thing, being a braindead retard that cannot comprehend the game to begin with is another.

Unless your friends are single digit IQ drooling retards that are still in grade school, you probably suck complete dick at teaching them how to play it OP You're probably the type of guy that tries to get his friends into fighting games but just perfects them for an hour and then wonders why they're pissed off and won't play with you anymore

so you played the game for him and didn't let him figure shit out on his own, then got mad when he didn't understand what is happening or how you got all this shit to give him? let me guess, you bombed the shadow orbs too and got him meteor armor without him with you too

i agree, with the exception of couch co-op runs with my brother. it's a lot easier to play co-op in terraria when you can both see the same things at the same time and don't have to explain shit over a microphone. have done several online multiplayer runs and they're always an irritating experience
Charles Barnes
>tfw playing it together with a friend, both for the first time, exploring and finding stuff together, impressed by how much there is to find This is why I still play vidya.
you're one of those faggots that play with women. you are just as fucking cancerous as them.
Carson Sullivan
1. Don't have retarded friends 2. You've gotta play with more than 1 friend, if more people like it, it'll sway their outlook, if it's just you they'll always question why you like it
Cooper Rivera
I imagine OP at 300 health already while his friend hasn't even cracked a single heart crystal.

What's your Steam name? I haven't played Terraria in a while, but I've been thinking about getting back into it.
Alexander James
maybe you should play it multi-player instead of going solo and wondering why he's not doing anything?
Jaxson Gutierrez
That's pretty much how we play, we know the basics but have never played properly. I'm pretty jaded when it comes to vidya but somehow this one is actually fun.
Blake Rivera
If you are playing with someone new, you need to play like a new player yourself.
>hurry up dig >get minerals >make crafting benches fast >rush armor >rush hard mode >come on dude this way, hurry >i teleported back with a wormhole potion >we need to farm bosses
Don't do that. You should be spending your first hour pretending you don't know how to cut down trees.
Terraria is fun when you're exploring and experimenting, not when some boring shithead is "telling" you how the game works.
Joshua Thomas
First playthrough of Terraria is more fun by yourself.

I always tell people this. It's only enjoyable if you have similar pacing (speed at which your characters evolve and progress). But it's very rare for people have it equal.

Brandon Watson
I just started playing and died to the big eye, he was about to die ffs
Also I'm thinking of installing a mod that shows reciepes. Is it a good idea or will it ruin the game ? I have 3 chests full of shit and I don't know if I can craft some stuff with it
Christopher Taylor

Landon Moore
Well, he'll be back don't worry. You can also summon him if you get lenses from the small eyes. Try baiting his charges then dodging.
Jeremiah Lewis
The guide gives you all recipes already, so i think it'll be fine, just saves you the trouble to go see him every time you get something new
Wyatt Brown
idk. My nephew and niece love Terraria and love exploring Terraria. They also don't have problems with fighting bosses but die a lot. Maybe your friend is just a faggot.
Bentley Sanchez
It was a pretty fun experience playing deathmode calamity with a few other epic gamers. You really just need to play with people who can be self sufficient until it's time to assemble and fight the next boss together.
Joshua Ortiz
You both sound like uncharismatic incels from reddit
Evan Phillips

He was an amazing builder, so I can't be too mad at him.
terraria's not a game you play multiplayer with a total noob. you gotta let them play on their own for a bit, at least get to beating the Eye of Cthulu on their own before you can really do anything with them. Otherwise you end up babysitting a retard who gets himself killed every 5 minutes and doesnt do anything except wait for you to give them gear.
Jayden Walker
it's fun with a couple of friends, but you need to be able to organize, manage resources and distribute loot fairly. you cant play with anyone who doesnt listen or anyone who's a loot whore.

What does it say about me that I find MineCraft a lot more difficult to get into than Terraria?
Austin Clark
It says that you value gameplay depth over literal 3D depth
Blake Russell
Nothing! Despite having the similarity of digging and building, the two are very different games.
David Allen
>Those times i used to play with my little bro Mortal Kombat shaolin monks for the first time and explrored the shit out of the game and his secrets would never come back >Those feels from those times were i played Smash bros with highschool friends for the first time and got me introducted in a lot of franchises and got me into a lot of unique situations in gameplay that i remember fondly would never been repeated >That time where i played Bloody Roar 2 with my computer teacher and a couple of frienbros in a old computer emulator in free time was so long now >I will never meet a girl like the one that got me into Halo, Terraria, and survival horror genre that was my friend until i finished highschool
Vidya with friends, family and loved beings is a blast, literally the best part of this media is having experiences that can change you as a person, depending of how you enjoy or experience a product. A coop, competitve, a single player, anything. It used to be magic for me.
I hope i can go back to that kind of feeling, its my dream since so long, my most absolute wish since i lost it. Because is not about the journey, is about the people we meet on the way.
people are just surprised when they think they're getting 2d minecraft and instead get a 2d exploration dungeon crawler with emphasis on combat and loot

Does it play better with a controller on a console or is it the same? I might buy an RV to live out of soon, but I don't feel like waiting to play since I'm in the mood now.
Jack Long
I can relate to immediately telling your friend exactly what to do in a game and how everything works but let him figure things out on their own, you sperg. You're taking the fun out of the game by not exploring with him and taking all the shit. Just mess around and stop trying to speed run a fucking sandbox game.
Jesus... you sound like a shitty guy to hang with. If you introduce somehow to an exploration game, you play with their pacing. Clearly you pushed them into playing the game too. And yet act like a jerk. Have fun staying a virgin and idiot

Luke Gonzalez
>tfw havent experienced this in a long time because friend is a kike and doesnt buy games until they're $10
Terraria and minecraft are only co-op games that I and my friends were able to enjoy playing. We haven't found similar co-op game were we put countless hours everyday till we beat, we tried starbound and countless others. Any recommendations? Thinking of stardew maybe.
Jordan Russell
i was doing this but i got sick of waiting so I played it a bunch last month. i got all the original 6 bosses done and sitting there for now waiting for the update so I dont have to go through all the beginning shit again, cuz updates rarely if ever change the early game.

Jordan Butler
I figured the best way to introduce Terraria to a friend: >Make them play alone for a while >Explain basic stuff like mining ores, crafting armor, summoning bosses, weapon types and how the Guide will help each time you talk to him >Give tips like how Cactus Armor is real good beginner armor and how useful Yoyos are early on >Give them a week or two >Play multiplayer with them
When my friend introduced Terraria to me and played multiplayer, I kept building houses inside mountains while my friend was doing useful shit because he kept doing stuff at his own fast pace and knew more about the game. Needless to say we never even reached hell in Prehardmode because I was slowing his progress down.
Then I got the game for myself and fucking enjoyed it and kept learning and risking my life in caves. Learned everything myself and now I not only have 1000+ hours on Terraria, I even beat Expert Moon Lord.
So yeah, make them play singleplayer.
Gabriel King
Gold/Platinum Armor and a Golden/Platinum Bow with as many Fire Arrows as possible should make it fairly easy.
Make sure to fight it on the surface and equip any beneficial accessories you can. Build an arena if you really suck at it.
Isaac Walker
Game fucked me and my friend in the ass for the first 3 hardmode days and nights
>Wall if Flesh beaten before nighttime >Blood Moon and an ominous warning immediately after we Magic Mirror from hell to the surface >Skeletron Prime fucks our asses >Blood Moon makes the Crimson enemies near our base spawn way more and they fuck our asses too >Daytime arrives and so do the Pirates on our first Hardmode day >Meteor Armor so we die a lot but we have nice weapons and got 2 Swords from the Pirates halfway through the invasion >Pirates fuck us until 2nd night arrives >Another Blood Moon, increased spawn rates for Pirates and the Crimson enemies near us >Defeat invasion before the 3rd night arrives >Another ominous warning >Destroyed by Destroyer
Terraria can be cruel sometimes.
Joshua Lopez
I finally started an Expert run with Magic the other day, sadly it'll be awkward once 1.4 arrives.
