Terraria

For those of us here at ZEJ that play Terraria, I thought I would open up a thread to talk about it. Soon enough, (within a couple of weeks now) the Terraria 1.2 update, which as been worked on for over half of a year now, will be out.

The update features so far:

• Pure PvP servers with team based objectives. Worlds will be generated before every match. Imagine a CTF server where towers are automatically created on either side of the map. Players can fight it out on the surface, or try to tunnel into the other tower.
  
  
• Adding sloped/inclined tiles to make the world smoother.
  
  
• New harder world types to continue game progression (Ex: Alien planets, alternate dimensions, evil worlds, etc.)
  
  
• Enemy factions that will move into your world, and build their own city. You can slaughter them while they are weak, or let them build up their strength to get better rewards.
  
  
• More events: Volcanoes, earthquakes, more/improved invasions, etc..
  
  
• Weather: Seasons, floods, etc..
  
  
• Farming, and stamina system that gives a bonus to player stats.
  
  
• NPC and World Interactives
  
  
• Cleansing Pool (Makes Ebon Stone into Stone, and other evil items to non-evil, etc.)
  
  
• NPCs w/ Quests
  
  
• A Completely Overhauled Spell/Magic System
  • Early Magic Weapon and Mana from the Start

• Items
  • 4 new Tilesets (Furniture,Walls,Blocks)
    • Desert/Sandstone [1]
    • Cactus (with NPC)[2]
    • Arctic/Ice (whole new theme with Biome, Enemies, etc.) [3]
    • Shrooms (Now with Surface Biome) [4]
  • Reinforced Doors / Stone Doors / Portcullis
  • Campfire
  • Placeable Flags
  • Fishing Poles / Fish
  • Awesome new weapons [5]

• World and Gameplay Dynamics
  • New Biomes and Bosses
  • Bushes
  • Seasons
  • Stalagmites and Stalactites (in the Arctic Underground) [6]
  • Halfsteps, Stairs and Waterfalls [7]
  • Huge Trees (see one above)
  • Trees from diffrent biomes give diffrent wood (i.e. Corruption, Jungle, maybe Hallow)
  • Possible new Healer/Medic Class
  
  
• More Floating Islands content: Weather, Clouds, etc. [8]
  
  
• Separate cooldowns for edibles.
  

Well, what do you think about the update?
