My game progress got wiped. Twice. I play mobile version, which is currently NOT my favorite. In my first world, I had no idea what I was doing - I was just exploring, getting a feel for the game. I played the tutorial, which only covers the first ten minutes of real-time playing. So I was scared half to death when I accidentally summoned the Wall of Flesh and I teleported home - which resulted in my death. After that, I discovered this wiki and went on a nutty reading spree. I eventually beat WoF, but I did it too early - Hard mode hit me... Well, hard. I eventually deleted that world and made a better one in which I was more prepared. And in this new world I had beaten every boss except Ocram, I was hunting Broken Hero Sword - the last one, and I would have the Terra Blade! - and then it happened. Before then, I was running out of space on my tablet. I was moving files between Sd card and tablet itself, and I moved all the wrong files. I had to FACTORY RESET. What made it worse was the fact that I had no way to back up my character and worlds. Bye-bye, Terra Blade! After that, I reeinstalled Terraria and jumped into the game with a vengance. I died a lot, but I sped through normal mode, beat all easy bosses, then threw myself into Hardmode. During my first eclipse, I set up a heart lantern for regen and a watercandle for more monsters. I got two Broken Hero Swords, though, so I crafted True Excalibur first. I got everything for the True Night's Edge, made that, and fought the Twins. I won pretty fast, which was shocking. Then the next day was an eclipse. No Hero Swords. Depressed, I returned home for the night. The next day - ANOTHER ECLIPSE! Two in a row - and I got my Hero Sword! I made the Terra Blade and started kicking butt! I was going great - then I updated the app. Before I updated, I attempted to link my character to Google so it would save. No luck. I gave up and updated. When I hit Update, it said to uninstall the old app. I thought "okay, it'll save my progress, though, because it's the same app. I started the new version. It said, -create new character-. My thoughts: NOOOOOOOOO MY TERRA BLADE MY ARMOR NOOOOO! My next thought: I'm going to strangle the person who made that update. My current thought: And this is why I'm trying to get PC version!
