History YMMV / Terraria

** Since 1.0.5, he has become much more useful as he can show you everything you can craft with an item if you show it to him. Crafting is no longer a guessing game, and it certainly makes the world a whole lot kinder to new players who try to experience the game without immediately resorting to a wiki.

** I'm not sure that one goes under YMMV... (Joke)

*** [[ItGetsWorse Then in 1.1]] they added the Giant Bats, which are tougher and do more damage than the Hellbats. Oh, and they can also confuse the player, potentionally making you walk yourself into lava or a crowd of Skeleton Archers. Or more Giant Bats.

* GameBreaker: Originally, the Aqua Scepter sprayed a constant stream of water that did both continuous {{Knock Back}} and damage, with a very low [[{{ManaPoints}} Mana]] cost per second

* TheScrappy: The NPC known as "Guide" who appears in every world upon creation, runs around and will move into any house you build. He's supposed to give tips to new players, but [[StopHelpingMe there's no way to get rid of him]]; even if he dies, he respawns within a minute. But the worst of all is that he often [[TooDumbToLive opens your house's front doors during night when there's zombies outside]], so it makes them able to enter your house and kill you. Even the creators themselves find him incredibly annoying: they walled him in and trapped him in their LetsPlay (which doesn't help anyway because he can teleport). They even added an item recently called the [[TakeThatScrappy Guide voodoo doll]],[[spoiler:[[VideogameCrueltyPotential which summons The Wall of Flesh if thrown into the lava pits of the Underworld.]]]]

* MoralEventHorizon: The Player Character. In order to progress to the endgame, you must summon a boss in the Underworld, and in order to do so, you must murder The Guide with the Guide Voodoo Doll. As of 1.1, it's clear that death is not cheap for the non player character allies, as when they die they are not resurrected, but rather replaced, and thus this amounts to murdering The Guide simply to progress in the game.

** One of the more annoying bugs is the inability to place anything in lava anymore, meaning that harvesting and growing fireblossom is much harder now, and that making tunnels to Hell are much harder to create now unless you exploit dropping sand into the lava or are really patient about using water to make obsidian walls. Since mining Hellstone creates lava now, this makes Hellstone almost impossible to mine without lava-immunity potions.
** Fortunately, the release of 1.0.6.1 will correct these bugs, and has calmed down the base.

** In the underground jungle, you have swarms of Hornets. They have 100 health and deal 40 damage per hit.

** Even the thorns in the corruption can qualify when a tiny square of it knocks you backwards and sends you tumbling down a ravine.

** Fire Imps. They teleport constantly, shoot projectiles that pass through walls even from off-screen, have a fair amount of HP and defense, and often appear in groups of 2 or 3. And they can and will show up when you're busy fighting Bone Serpents. Ah, and unless you take preventative measures to have flooded the area with water, or obtained the Obsidian Skull, you'll also be busy avoiding lava puddles and molten hot ore. [[SarcasmMode Have fun]]!

** A more potent example are the Lava Slimes in the Underworld. They jump far and fast, literally leap off of lava like a spring, and once defeated, they burst into lava which can melt an unwary player.
** After the newest patch introduced the Big Eaters and Little Eaters, it appears the number of Eater of Souls and it's variants has skyrocketed. People have seen as many as ''15 at once''.

* FanDumb: ''Everything'' about the whole {{Minecraft}}/Terraria argument. Boss monsters? Copying Terraria! Lava wells in ruins? Copying Terraria! Mushroom biomes? Terraria! More content added to Hell? Terraria! Because ''clearly'' Notch has run out of ideas and has resorted to turning Minecraft into 3D Terraria.
