User blog:TerrariamcSwaggins/The Terrarian Bugle - Issue 26

Hello Terrarians! Welcome to the twenty-sixth issue of The Terrarian Bugle! The support for this has been really great, thank you all! Today we have a little Console update info to go through, then we'll check out our normal weekly events, then we're going to continue our ongoing series; a complete showcasing of DerpoTheMagnificent's sprites, and finally, we'll have a look at SilverHexxitFights' next episode in his story! (When I obtain it, of course.) Thanks for reading, and enjoy! :D

PC
No word from the developers regarding any spoilers for 1.3, but we suspect that one will be out soon.

Console
We have news of a Console update headed for you console-gamers any day now!

505 Games states:

"We hope you are all enjoying a fantastic holiday season so far - and for those Terrarians playing either 1.2 on Mobile (don't worry Amazon and WP fans - yours is coming soon), next gen console Terraria, or our original PS3/360 versions, we hope you have been having a blast with Terraria!

Fresh on the heels of Mobile 1.2 and today's fix for some of the Android issues, we are quite pleased to bring a nice early present to our console fans: a quick update with some fixes, desired features, and a handful of festive goodies sure to keep you warm on even the coldest of days. These should go live within the next few days - with Xbox and Playstation being first and Vita coming a bit later (but still within a week). If anything happens to delay things, we will let you know.

We look forward to continuing to bring our console users further updates in the months to come."

Exclusive interview with a member of this Wiki
TerrariamcSwaggins: Hey! Would you like to be interviewed for the wiki's official newspaper, the Terrarian Bugle?

TrueCobalion: Sure thing!

TerrariamcSwaggins: Great! First question, what is your favorite boss and why?

TrueCobalion: My favorite boss probably has to be Plantera. Its design is clever, its music is insane, and the setting for it is intense.

TerrariamcSwaggins: Admittedly, Plantera music is my favorite music in the game. Next question, what is your favorite biome and why?

TrueCobalion: I like the Crimson. Its pre-Hardmode stuff is pretty useful like the Crimson Rod and the Panic Necklace, it's slightly helpful during Hardmode, its concept of flesh and blood seems unique, and the music is intense and its boss is pretty fun.

TerrariamcSwaggins: Aye, the Crimson is certainly an unique biome. Next question, what do you prefer most: Exploring, fighting, or building?

TrueCobalion: I'd love the fighting part of the game. The weapon variety is plenty, many monsters to kill, and there's constant planning for their attacks and statistics. Magic is completely awesome, especially the usage of mana to get rid of monsters. Bow and Guns can pick monsters off from a distance. And finally, melee may have a powerful damage, but you have to be up close for it.

TerrariamcSwaggins: Indeed, fighting is probably one of the best parts of the game. Final question, if you could add anything to the game, what would it be?

TrueCobalion: I would add a new type of floating island. It would look like a small fortress in the sky. The monsters would mostly be Harpies, but there would also be hints of flying creatures like Giant Bats.

TerrariamcSwaggins: Kinda like a mini sky Dungeon?

TrueCobalion: Yeah. With Floating Island loot mixed with Dungeon loot.

TerrariamcSwaggins: Sounds awesome! Anyways, that's a wrap! Thank you for your time!

TrueCobalion: Yup! Also, merry Christmas!

TerrariamcSwaggins: Thanks! You too!

TrueCobalion: Thanks, Swaggins!
