User blog:TerrariamcSwaggins/The Terrarian Bugle - Issue 15

Hello Terrarians! Welcome to the fifteenth issue of The Terrarian Bugle! I appreciate the stupendous amount of positive feedback I'm receiving for this series! Today we finally have new PC update info to look into from the Devs, then we'll check out our normal weekly events, and finally, we're going to have a continuation of Feardaszombie's Terraria comics! Thanks for reading, and enjoy! :D

(I also wanted to mention, the main method of supporting this news article, is by leaving comments. Comments help boost the popularity of the blog therefore leading more people to it. Thanks for listening. :D)

PC
It's here! The news and spoilers are finally here! Let's check out a few of the smaller features that will be implemented in the upcoming update. :) Firstly, it appears that we have a few changes to the dye system coming up, as shown in the following images:







Skihps states:

"The new dye changes are designed to help add a bit more color to their armor. This occurs in two ways. The first way is that I've allowed for some of the dye color to seep through on areas that were previously considered too light or dark. The second is an overall increase to saturation. As a whole, the changes are minor, and should only be noticeable in cases where the dye would feel very underwhelming before." Next up is a small handy feature that will allow you to determine how long a event/invasion will last. It takes form in a small bar as shown below:

Finally, it looks like we're going to have a new handy accessory known as the "Laser Ruler". Here's what it should look like in-game:



Also, a few bullet point notes:

Cenx states:


 * "This update will not include content that resembles the Frost/Pumpkin Moon Events. Start to finish the Frost Moon was created in under 2 weeks and was always meant to be bonus side content.
 * The team has decided to go in a different direction with the final boss of this update. You will no longer be fighting the actual moon.
 * Going into this update a major focus of mine has been to make sure this update doesn't feel like an impossibly hard rng nightmare. This does not mean you will be handed everything."

The Wall of Polls
I wanna get you guy's opinions on all this. ^_^

Your opinion on the new dye features They look really awesome! Can't wait to deck out my character with them! (/*o*)/ They look pretty cool. :) Eh, they're okay. Bleh, they looks like crap and they give me bloody seizures. >_>

Your opinion on the Event meter Cool! It should be quite useful! ^_^ Looks pretty good. Meh, it's seems okay. It's a piece of useless garbage. Do you think I'm some kinda wuss! I'm too pro for some little meter! (/*o*)/

Your opinion on the Laser Ruler Niceeeee, looks pretty helpful. Looks good. Guh, I've seen better. Nobody needs the Laser Ruler! I'm too hardcore for it. >_>

Your opinion on not fighting the Moon in the Lunar event Awww, too bad. D: Whatever. Good! I don't wanna fight some dumb Moon, anyways!

Your opinion on the Lunar event being different from the other two events Sounds pretty good! Finally, change! :D Seems legit to me. Bleh, I would like to have a normal event. Gahhh, that really sucks, I wanted a normal style event, not some unpredictable new thing! D:

Poll of the week
I forgot to ask you guys what type of poll you wanted this week so I suppose we'll do another sprite contest. ;-;

This week will be the war of the Wolves! The first (left side) is the original and the second (right side) is Zoomo's version.



Your opinion on which version is better I like the original! I like Zoomo's version! I find both of them disgusting. @_@

Would you like to participate in this again? Yeah, I certainly would! Nah, lets take a break and do the normal poll. I'm cool with whatever everyone else wants.

Best Creation/Pixel art of the Week
This week we have one submission! It's a pixel art recreation of Squazzil's avatar, which is a character called, heh, Squazzil, from a game named Viva Pinata. Be sure to give her a hearty compliment next time you see her!
