There is still no ETA when the release will be. Item 3,000: "The Alchemy Table. When you craft potions at the Alchemy table each item in the recipe has a 1 in 3 chance to not be consumed. This item is new and still being tested so it is subject to change." Red's new secret project: "Red has been working on a new game mode currently being called "Expert Mode". In expert mode the games difficulty has been greatly increased. Players will face old monsters with new ai, bosses with new ai and mechanics, and much more with greater rewards for their efforts."

I will be sure to try out the new difficulty, it sounds fun. The current AIs are too predictable after playing it for three years. Edit: I swear, if people complain about this expert mode being "too hard" I will punch a kitten. Not myself, but another kitten. Only time will tell.
Neat, an actual hard mode difficulty setting. Glad to hear there will be AI changes instead of simply boosting stats.

In expert mode the games difficulty has been greatly increased. In expert mode the games difficulty has been greatly increased. this is what the game has needed so very badly all these years. tell me where red is, I wanna hug him EDIT: oh, and does anyone here know exactly how many items there are as of 1.2.4?
That alchemy table seems nice, it could also have special potion recipes....and you guys could also add a scientist lab coat to go with it
Expert mode sounds great since I'm not much of a fan of playing medium or hardcore characters. It'll be a nice challenge other than risking all your items or character every time you leave your base.
Now, can you disclose something about Expert mode, will it function like the -cores, or will it be selectable by the map? While the game is somewhat easy, I hate the idea of my items being dropped, so I always end up playing softcore.
i always end up playing softcore too but i think harder mobs would be nice if you wanted a challenge but you die all the f*cking time
MY MOMMY SAYS I SMART SO WEN I BEAT EXPERT MODE I BE A SMART EXPERT HAW HAW But yeah, actually looking forward to this expert mode. I'm totally bored by Terraria so for it to have challenge once again, that's something I look forward to.
This sounds really good. In particular, this "expert mode" sounds promising. I've long said that certain enemies (the Destroyer, in particular) needed better tactics more than they needed better stats. Here's hoping that Red's idea of improved AI and mine are similar.
you probably didn't realise the destroyer got buffed now its actually a challenge not a boss you can defeat with molten armour and a nights edge
