Is there anyway to revert this game to version 1.3?

[258789553873]

I hate the changes 1.4 brought. It completely changed the game, and also in the process made it too hard for me to play anymore. In hindsight, I wish I had set up my game so it wouldn't update, but I accepted the update and have regretted it ever since. Everything I used to rely on got nerfed hard, and now I can't even progress as far as I could before 1.4. I hate it, and want the game I originally bought and played for years. Why did it even need this update? I can understand removing sequence breaking exploits (like meteors and the reaver shark), but I hate how they made it so you can't avoid the moon lord's biggest damaging attack anymore, or how they made it harder to afk farm just so you don't have to waste literal hours of your life just to get this one item you absolutely need to progress.

I used to play this game all the time, after the update though, I've rarely played it, because its just not the same game anymore. I can't even progress as far as i could in the past. Of course, the moon lord update didn't really affect me at all yet, since I couldn't even beat the stupid pillars. I find it strange they fixed the methods that many players like me rely on, but didn't do anything to fix things like hoiks or other actual exploits.

Let me play this game again. Let me enjoy the game I had since it came out nearly a decade ago. I want terraria back, I want to play the game I played for. At this point, I'm thinking I need to just uninstall it to save hard drive space, because that's all its doing. I mean, I can't even enter hard mode anymore, let alone beat the mechanical bosses. What's the point in playing this game when I can't defeat the wall of flesh anymore, purely because doing so makes the world unplayable for me? They could've at least added an easier mode, but instead they released a mod that just lets you cheat. What the crap, make the game harder, but avoid fixing exploits and in fact add a cheat mode into the game that takes NO effort at all? Seriously, what the crap?

[cha]

use tmodloader. its terraria but its kinda downgraded. it used to play more better mods than the workshop. idk the version is like 1.3 or 1.2.

So sort of like you "have to obtain every single item in the game" to progress? It's absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tedious.

I bet you would've applauded the devs if they made it so you started with an even weaker pickaxe and locked progression so you had to go through all of the pre hardmode ore tiers with no possibility of skipping.

what happend....

i have always played the game start to finish without skipping. you babies complaining because they got rid of something they didnt like is funny. just quit the game, because you are bad

Oh no, my feelings are heavily hurt. The... learning curve of this game... is so... easy.... but it takes absolutely ages to play a single playthrough. Wow, I can't wait to farm for 4 hours and get absolutely nothing out of it and then do the easiest part of the game which is playing against the bosses!! Definitely feels "non-linear", I can definitely do whatever without Relogic nerfing a bunch of things and taking my creativity away!

[258789553873]

I didn't mind the sequence break too much (though it does make it a tad more tedious to get to hardmode, not like it was impossible for me to do so before anyway). I'm annoyed at them nerfing all the most powerful weapons to uselessness, and also nerfing tactics needed to survive certain bosses. Its like they expect you to beat these bosses, but without the approriate gear. They may as well have removed all the hardmode weapons and armor as far as I'm concerned, because they're useless against hardmode bosses anyway.

As for sequence breaking, it only annoys me that they made it so you can't get meteorite right at the start. It takes A LOT of time to prepare for hardmode, including the building of barriers, a skybridge, at least two afk farms (one for pure, one for snow), and also getting the necessary components for artificial biomes in case I can't save my jungle. I can still do all that, but now I have to play through the first half of the game to do it. It just makes getting to hard mode even more tedious than it was before. And it doesn't help that now I can't even get the necessary gear to make it past even the mechanical bosses. I mean, as I said, even beating the wall of flesh isn't an option for me anymore, purely because I can't handle the changes it makes to the world. Its rather ironic too, since even with all the nerfs I can still beat it easily anyway. I just can't endure the consequences of doing so.

well clearly by the patches it is how the DEVS want you to play it :shockedbs::dealbs:

And clearly I can play literally every other game to my level! Isn't that the purpose of Video Games, to express your creativity to play it?

I have a question: were you ever excited for the 1.4 update?

[258789553873]

No, I wasn't, I actually tried to speedrun the game to experience 1.3 while I still could, because I knew what was coming was a major overhaul that I wasn't going to like. I never finished it though, and had to abandon it because everything I had designed from my traps to my house simply didn't work anymore (seriously). I still can't even get used to this thing of scattering your houses all over the map. The pylon system doesn't even do that much to make this easier. There's no pylon for space, all underground biomes share one pylon, and each biome only gets on pylon even though the pure covers most of the map, there's two oceans, and you have no way of knowing where the hallow is going to be once you enter hard mode. I mean, what do you do if you set up a pure pylon somwhere distant only for it to suddenly become hallowed? You'll have to change the pylon, and you'll have to move the npcs since now they're probably not going to be in an environment you like. Scattering everyone everywhere is just impractical. Also, the overcrowding limit is hard to avoid, given the number of pylons available and the sheer number of npcs that can spawn.

The whole update just makes the game far more difficult, and far more tedious. I hate how they basically removed all the most powerful gear, just because, how i have to waste time running around the map just to house my npcs, how I can't use my normal farms anymore. All for what? Just so I can fly a kite and play golf? Everything's still there, its just now that the default difficulty is harder than expert was, and I never could beat that either. I mean, I can't even enter hardmode now. What am I supposed to do? I've actually been waiting for Happydays' videos on mastermode or something, because the techniques he employs in them are probably the only way I'm ever going to beat even the base level difficulty now (seriously). Of course, he can beat Duke Fishron before doing the mechanical bosses, which I've never been able to do once myself even after beating golem. I just don't see how it can be done; it just hits too damned hard, and I couldn't dodge to save my life. Last time I played, I was having to make myself as tanky as possible just to walk explore. This is rediculous. This isn't the game I bought and enjoyed long ago. Honestly, I'm surprised no one's made a mod yet that reverts the 1.4 changes to what this game was before then. I didn't mind 1.2, or 1.3. It was still the same game. Now, its not, its a completely different game that I simply can't play. Not to mention its even more of a grind than it was before, and obviously adults like me normally don't have the time to waste doing something obviously monotonous just so you stand a snow ball's chance in hell against some obviously op boss. And no, I've never attempted the Empress of Light, because that thing would clearly wipe the floor with me in seconds. I can't even beat any of the pillars, or duke fishron, you really think I could beat something that insta-kill AOE attacks that cover the entire screen??? Honestly, I doubt I can even beat the moonlord before. Now, its like I'm a noob again and can't even beat the mechanical bosses to save my life. This is such bs.

If you're saying the default difficulty, which is classic, is more difficult then that sounds like a skill issue

How would you like it if you found a game that was appropriate for your skill level, only for the developers to pull the rug out from under you after a decade by making it so you can't handle it anymore? Of course, I wasn't able to handle everything in the game before, granted, but 1.4 hasn't exactly helped. In fact, its just made things worse for me. Seriously, am I the only one complaining about the increase in difficulty? Surely I can't be alone in this. There was to be people who used to play on expert but now can't at the very least.
