Build 827

Xlayer - i agree, we're wondering if they should be made inoperational while flooded or not at the moment - flooding the enemy hall would be another way to win, in that case. It may be too prone to griefing though :^)

Re: are there plans to make it idiot proof - yes and no. We want to make a classic-alike CTF mode with coin operated shops for something less team-oriented. The amount TTH relies on teamwork is very likely great for clan matches and matches with a group of competent friends (or even just one dedicated "overlord" builder ensuring his lemmings go the right way :^D) but with a group of pub players you very often see some terrible decisions being made that harm the team for quite a long time. We are looking for ways to lighten the load of democracy, but i think ultimately a lot of these players are more suited to a CTF "simple" experience than anything deeper and more team-dependent.

 

You'd be surprised how much the backgrounds used to lag out old computers. We're working on optimisations, if you could be the least bit helpful and patient that'd be appreciated.

We've talked about this before - it might happen in the very distant future but for now it requires too much of an architecture change to the water for not enough gameplay benefit - it will also add a lot of extra CPU strain to servers already under high load, and a lot more information to sync on the network. Terraria water desyncs or otherwise shits out when you let a huge flood loose - we'd rather avoid that and focus on the rest of the game for the time being.
