      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too!

      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Zombie Steel Claws.

In the process of evaporating about ten ingots I have accidentally made myself a nice set of Bronze armor.

Eager to test my new creation, I went out in the morning to find a lone zombie hiding in the shadow of a tall tree.

As soon as he saw me, he charged growling and biting the air in an atempt to reach my flesh. Knowing that he can't wound me throught my tought newly baked armor, I've let a few blows of his glance of of the highly polished bronze surface of protective love. I was invincible! The wild no longer posed a threat to the might of my arms and I was free to decimate all natural resources day and night!

But I felt strong pain as the zombies claws teared my skin. What?! How is that possible. I tried to quickly pierce the foul beasts brain with my sharp Bronze sword but his gnawing jaw was upon me!

I've jumped away from him, avoiding his teath by a sliver! He was close behind me, but bright morning sun came to my rescue as our deadly dance lead us away from the shade of the trees.

As his corpse sizled in the sunshine, I have taken my armor off to see how was it possible that he wounded me.

Just as I feared, he shreaded the plate that protected my body, which I thought to be invulnerable to his claws.

No matter how hard you work, the world is always going to be taughter...

In all seriousness, I was happy with my brand new armor, remmembering what I read on the wiki.

"Even a set of armor made from Tier 0 metals such as Zinc will last a player a very long time and provide significant protection."

But after just around 8 hits from a zombie, my armor went from full durability to just little more then half.

What is this sorcery? It's a glorified cow leather, not plate armor!

The good news is you won't have to deal with Zombies forever. All the Vanilla Hostile mobs will be confined to underground dungeons (much better than the vanilla sorry excuses for dungeons) and will be replaced by aggressive predatory animals.

Edit: Oh yeh

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!! :D

Much to my delight, as a byproduct of the new health system and the amount of damage that mobs are now capable of doing, armor has started working as it was originally intended. However it also tends to wear out faster than you might be used to. Taking as little damage as possible is now preferable to standing there tanking damage as in previous versions.

From the changelog.

Thanks :lol:

I see. I guess the wiki could use some work. :rolleyes:

Then again, armor is quite expensive, and it wears of really, really fast... Would be cool if we were able to repair it using comperably small amount of resources.

I don't like how quickly armour degrades, but I prefer that it doesn't make you invincible.

Yeh the wiki does need work, but it's user updated so if you feel it is inadequate, go over there and update it yourself ;)

I think that the durability values will be changed in the future. Metal tiers should have more pronounced durability changes, and armor should last a little bit longer. Also, the players should have the opportunity to repair armor pieces.

That makes me feel special. Thank you ^^

I agree. It could use a little bit of balancing, and armor should most certainly not make us invincible. In the "story" it was a hyperbole.

I'll probably try, at least. If I find out about something that isn't there already, that is. ^_^

It never did from what I can tell, unless it's black steel armour.

Edit:

Actually this stuff is suitable for the books. Patch some flaws here and there and here you go.

Oh, and "steel"? Shoot higher, at least blue steel or even adamantium.
