Title: terraria frost moon event
Post by: conorano on December 21, 2013, 03:09:24 PM: so ehh, about a month or so ago me and some people on the forum here tried out the terraria pumpkin moon event. it was really fun (despite REALLY laggy) and we ended up with all good loot. now terraria's christmas update is here and with it is a new event, the frost moon. and its even harder then the pumpkin moon it seems XD. so i would like to know if there are any people interested in trying to beat it? anyone can come, if you don't have good gear i can give you some.

Post by: ciago92 on December 21, 2013, 10:33:58 PM: hmmmm...I'd say I'm up for it but my schedule is ridiculous at the moment. maybe in like a week or so
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Modest on December 22, 2013, 08:56:44 AM: The same for me - definietly up for it... But not before Xmas. I understand it will be still aviliable afther, won't it?

P.S.
Starbound is out (as early beta, but still it is out), so... What is Terraria, because I did forgot? :P (that was only a joke) ;)

Post by: CopperCoyote on December 22, 2013, 11:43:32 AM: If It is like the pumpkin moon it doesn't matter when we summon it so long as we have the summoning items. I've gotten to wave 11 and so far all they've dropped is a hook (with lights on it).

I'd be interested in joining in too. I'm busy until christmas as well however.

Post by: Gotcha! on December 22, 2013, 05:31:50 PM: I can help. Best thing is, I don't want any of the drops, since I got the last one this evening. ;D

Of course You did... How else it could be? >.> Somebody who builds mega high tower out of pure pearlsotne, adds incredible amount of traps and other stuff and builds arenas to fight with gigant pumpkins for sure did such trivial thing like defed all enemy waves from Frost Moon Event :P
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on December 22, 2013, 06:15:22 PM: Hah, on my own I reached, what was it, wave 12 or 13? No, no mortal soul can hope to reach wave 20 alone. I had kickass helpers.
Like you lot, back then, with our Pumpkin moon fun. ;D

Looking forward to it! Don't mind hosting as well. I can show you my upgraded xmas pit o' death. Shouldn't be laggier than last time. ;)

Post by: Gotcha! on December 25, 2013, 01:13:06 PM: So, any idea when this'll start rollin'? *itching knuckles*
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: CopperCoyote on December 25, 2013, 07:05:38 PM: I'm able to assist when needed now that i'm home.

So far i've only gotten to wave 11 of the frost moon. Only got the holiday hook so far.
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: conorano on December 26, 2013, 01:29:16 AM: yeah me too i can go almost any time except for the coming 10 hours or so.
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on December 26, 2013, 05:34:38 AM: I'm in the central european timezone (GMT +1) and am almost always available in the oncoming weeks, roughly between 2 pm and 2 am. :)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 08, 2014, 03:59:47 PM: Pardon the bump, but, is this still happening someday? ;D'
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: CopperCoyote on January 08, 2014, 05:54:12 PM: I hope so. My computer cant handle hosting though so i'm necessarily going to have join someone else's server
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Modest on January 09, 2014, 12:30:11 AM: I am also hoping it will happen soon :) Best in Saturday or Sunday ;) And like Gotcha! I am GMT+1. Just tell when (according to GTM) and where I should join :D
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 09, 2014, 05:43:47 AM: How about I start a server this weekend? I get the feeling that nothing will ever come of this the longer we wait. ^_^'
I am available saturday and sunday, let's say... from 13:00 GMT (14:00 CET) to 01:00 (02:00 CET).

It'd be best if we'd be with 5 or more people though. If it's just 3 people we won't get to the final wave. (Unless one of you is packing nuclear warheads.)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: conorano on January 09, 2014, 06:07:51 AM: But but.... Elder scrolls beta is this weekend :(

100% agree! I will gladly join!

Do not worry - it is not that we will play terraria whole two days, around o'clock :)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 09, 2014, 08:55:19 AM: Alright, unless someone has better ideas, I'll be starting a server on saturday, 18:00 GMT (19:00 CET).
Be there or be square! ;D

I'll be using my own map, because it has helpful death pits. It also contains all of my loot, gathered over months of Terraria addiction. I'd appreciate it if no one robs me or destroys stuff. ;)
There'll be a bed/spawn point at every death pit, so you don't respawn near my house, thus not dragging any enemies with you that'll slaughter all the NPC's.
Buuut I'll be backing up my map anyway, just in case. :P
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: conorano on January 09, 2014, 09:54:38 AM: allright then, i will join in too ;D it will probably end up with someone still fighting the thing when it's allready over again though XD
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 09, 2014, 10:05:02 AM: Yeah, lag will happen, especially in the last wave. But if we all stand on top of the pit we're fighting on, and just shoot shoot shoot, then we'll be fine.

I think. ;D

If You are going to back up Your map, than I am going to steal EVERYTHING! Muhahahahahaha! :D I have no reasons to hold back in this situations! ;)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: CopperCoyote on January 09, 2014, 12:49:53 PM: I may be able to convince one of my friends to help with frost moon. That'd bring our total to 5. On Sunday i'm going to be out most the day. I'm at GMT-7 so it may not be too problematic.
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: CopperCoyote on January 11, 2014, 09:54:10 AM: I may have convinced 2 friends to help. Assuming they both wake in time.

Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 11, 2014, 01:37:17 PM: Glad you did manage to get in.

CopperCoyote is going to make an enemy's worst nightmare pit, in order to hopefully grab ourselves the last missing treasure. To be continued... ;D
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Modest on January 12, 2014, 12:53:32 AM: To be continued? When? :)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: CopperCoyote on January 12, 2014, 01:20:33 AM: After i've finished the map at the earliest. It has a pit of doom, but it is also rigged up with teleporters so the enemies have an infinite hall way of death. It'll have 2 crab spawners for hearts too.
Spoiler
Only the small enemies are teleported so we can focus fire on the more dangerous and larger enemies. Who also have loot worth collecting
[close]

I estimate i'm about half way done. I have things i need to do tomorrow so probably Monday at the earliest. I need many more super dart traps to make the pit more doomy. So that may be the unknown time to push this into a 3 day endeavor.

Knowing You, You will use that time to build underwater palace, ship and some kind of space shuttle or orbital base :P

Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 14, 2014, 11:56:51 AM: Well, CopperCoyote has provided a new map with a weird looking constraption. (Is there a switch I'm not seeing, CopperCoyote? I can't seem to be able to activate the traps.)

Anyway, this means we can have another go at it! ;D

What about wednesday/tomorrow, 19:00 GMT, 20:00 CET?
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Modest on January 14, 2014, 01:07:45 PM: Emm... Will You manage to build few hobbits homes, few pygmeis homes and one, or two museums until than so I can walk around and call You nuts a bit more? ;)
Anyway - I will gladly join :D
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 14, 2014, 01:26:45 PM: I have a better idea; I'll save myself the trouble of all that work and you can still call me nuts. ;D
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Modest on January 14, 2014, 02:56:59 PM: Nah... :D No fun without clearly visible reasons ;)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: CopperCoyote on January 14, 2014, 03:42:35 PM: I'm the one that made it so i'd be the nuts one. ;D I just used a fresh map, and there is a little NPC tenement like building to the right. It's still on easy mode. Of the easy mode NPCs i think it's still missing partygirl.

You can right click timers directly. I have the two top timers separate like that so i can stagger the dart shots. If two darts hit an enemy at the same time it only registers one hit, but if you have a little delay then both are counted. My version of the pit of doom doesn't have flame traps. They obliterate my framerate. Instead i have 24 super darts set up to be triggered in a wave from a rolling bolder. Your'e going to get hit by one when you activate it so keep that in mind.

The upper layer with all of the spikey ball and spear traps is covered with lava to prevent enemies from spawning there. I wanted them to spawn in the deadly area. Not on the traps themselves. At the ends of the hallways of death there are teleporters to send the weakest 3 enemy types back through the traps a second time. Sometimes it catches the tall goatmen and the pogo men to so that's handy. I'm aware the spear traps don't reach the ground or even the tall enemies. They're just there to ruin the helicopters' day. The crab spawners have spikey balls instead of lava so the enemies that can fly through solid walls will take damage too. They ignore lava just like solid walls.

The central spawn is also the center of the death contraption so you don't have to fiddle with beds at all. It is also one block thick to exploit the fact the the needles spell can shoot through thin walls. The top layer has staggered solid walls so you can shoot down, but have cover from the bullets arrows and pine needles (rockets and parachut presents will get you still). I built it in such a manner that it is really a good idea to all stay on the central platforms to maximize the number of enemies that spawn in the kill zone. Also being near each other like that makes it so the spectre mage armor can easily heal anyone. The top layer have the two crab spawners so you have a bit of health boost whilst fighting ice queens.

I feel like i'm forgetting something, but i'll tell you in game if i see it. I should be able to make it to the event tomorrow. I'll ask my friends if they can make it too.

Post by: ciago92 on January 14, 2014, 03:55:43 PM: Tomorrow should be good, I'll give it a shot anyways lol
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 14, 2014, 04:53:35 PM: The map's in hardmode now. Gave the Wall o' Bacon a proper beating this afternoon. ;)

Tell me if I need to bring any healing potions or other stuff, since, unlike my map, we're now lacking a proper inventory to steal from. ;D

@ciago92: I hope it's a well aimed shot against ain ice queen!

Are they better than shards bullets? Oh well, just bring them if You can, and I will check it :)

Oh... And... Umm... Is it todany? :) What hour? :)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 15, 2014, 08:38:40 AM: 19:00 GMT, 20:00 CET. :)

Chloro bullets are homing, so you can basically just fire around with impunity. Great way to get the ice queens that way too.
They probably go great with the new chaingun you picked up. The chaingun's accuracy is horrible, but with homing bullets you don't need accuracy. ;D
I'll bring a bunch of bullets for you along too.

I'd go gunning too, but that'd mean we most likely won't have enough healing to go around.
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Modest on January 15, 2014, 08:45:05 AM: Ah... Ok, so they will just fit better in this circumpstances :)
Yea... Bring few thousands with You :D I like to shoot! :D Hehe :D

Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 15, 2014, 12:53:04 PM: A pity. :( CopperCoyote didn't show up as well. Double pity!

We tried a run with two people. Went really slow. This contraption of CopperCoyote, we (Modest and I) don't know how to operate it. There are a ton of traps but they don't do anything. x)
Help!

I'll be serving again this friday, at 19:00 GMT, 20:00 CET. Hope you can all be there! :)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: CopperCoyote on January 15, 2014, 01:02:00 PM: Oh no!
Did i math wrong?
I wanted to show up
If you have a minute i can show oyu how to work the traps
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 15, 2014, 01:29:32 PM: It's okay, I am also horrible at math.
And I can wait for friday. :D
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Modest on January 16, 2014, 12:32:58 AM: It was funny, because we did not know how to make this machine to work, but still we could turn on few of it's mechanisms... I felt a bit like discovering ruins of some very advanced and ancient civilisation, which technology is mostly not understanded properly by me ;) Hope to see what this pit of doom can do at friday! :)

Also Ciago, next time just kill Your boss - remember, community always first! ;) ;) ;) Or better yet - tell him to do Your work, while You defend entire world from certian christmassdoom event ;) He should understand... :D
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 17, 2014, 11:13:06 AM: In case you guys are reading this: We're waiting! ::)

Post by: Gotcha! on January 17, 2014, 12:18:07 PM: Ah well, I guess people forgot again, or they didn't see the time/day in my previous post.
So here, in red letters:

Saturday, 18 januari, 19:00 GMT, 20:00 CET! Another chance!

CopperCoyote was here and showed his awesome traps. Really well thought of. We also got two whistles and a set of deer bells. :D

Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Modest on January 19, 2014, 02:39:10 AM: Congratulations? Or maybe... I am so sorry for You... :P Just joking :) Congratulations man! :) I wish for You two very best life and lot's of happines :)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 19, 2014, 05:40:27 AM: Grats. :)

Modest, is there still an interest of you getting the reindeer bells?
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Modest on January 19, 2014, 07:59:52 AM: Not really Gotcha! :) I am not so big Terraria fan :) What I have already is eoung for me :)
We can still met together from time to time just for fun and to play, but I am not aiming for any paticular loot ;)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 19, 2014, 09:37:12 AM: Okay. :)
In that case I am going to ask that people who are still interested in getting together to get loot to make themselves heard and set a date and time themselves.
There seemed to be an interest in doing these frostmoons, but certain people never showed up, especially the topic starter. >_> I'm not going to organize another go because only CopperCoyote, Modest and me keep showing and we're already loaded with loot.

I am always happy to join and host if needed. But only if people are really motivated. :)

Thank you, CopperCoyote and Modest, for your hard work and dedication. ;)
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Modest on January 19, 2014, 11:40:26 AM: And thank You Gotcha! for providing us server to do stuff ;) Also thank You for showing Your artistic map, which war really something worth to see :)
Also I do not know if I was so hard working :D Afther all only think I did was shooting from my minigun. I will add that even bullets were made by others :P
Title: Re: terraria frost moon event
Post by: Gotcha! on January 19, 2014, 01:53:49 PM: Thanks. :P If you or CopperCoyote want that map, by the way, do tell. I will send it over.
