Ranger is already called the most boring class, pls dont make it even more boring

#

grape beer is not meant to be used by everyone ever - none of the alcohols are

grave geyser
#

wait wait wait please tell me you made it so red rockets cant benefit

dull heart
#

grape beer's specific niche is people who want to aim better

amber egret
#

at the early hm stage theres no bosses that teleport like crazy and at the mid hardmode you have chloro

dull heart
#

it's probably broken on MP

amber egret
#

idk maybe im hating too hard but it doesnt seem very good

fallen flame
#

I mean usually there is a constant argument between "consistency" and "raw damage", you might argue that it might reduce damage by too much but the fact remains that being able to more or less consistently hits target's with very little margin of error can, in many cases, make up for the lost damage, especially on certain weapons

well they cant do it at point blank

#

but they can do it still

dull heart
#

grape beer has a custom hybrid iframe system to prevent inf piercing stuff from sillying

grave geyser
#

ok

pulsar cobalt
#

curious

fallen flame
#

In any case I can't say I know exactly how much damage grape beer loses you, but I do agree that strong homing on basically any ranged weapon sounds really strong on paper

high scaffold
#

Is white vine giving infinite flight with active true melee?

sly delta
#

so would piercing stuff just hit once then go or double back and hit the same enemy again

amber egret
#

it sounds really good but like

pulsar cobalt
amber egret
#

on scissors or on rock it doesnt seem great

dull heart
#

people who want it will use it and those who don't won't

fallen flame
#

Also that lol

dull heart
#

it's not meant to be very univerally applicable

fallen flame
#

just dont use it if you think the tradeoff is too much

#

shouldnt be an auto-take

dull heart
#

if any of the alcohols don't make people think at all about the tradeoff then then tradeoff is too little

high scaffold
#

Also what is the laser pointer?

fallen flame
#

I mean even with Chlorophyte's major disadvantages over other bullet types in vanilla, most people still usually default to it simply because the effect is that strong lol

#

and thats just for guns

amber egret
#

i mean they also default to it since most bullets are not that good

#

like yes i would love my enemies to drop slightly more money (????) that sounds great

#

id like my bullets to explode???? sure

high scaffold
dull heart
#

chloro is notably weaker than everything else in vanilla due to both base dmg and effects

#

well

fallen flame
#

I think a lot of bullets aren't great either but if raw damage is all you really care about, quite literally any other bullet is better (assuming perfect accuracy)

dull heart
#

everything else on it's tier

fallen flame
#

Nano bullets could still be considered a generally better bullet tbh

amber egret
#

the only bullets that compete with chloro in my eyes is luminite

dull heart
#

crystal, ichor, cursed, ichor

amber egret
#

oh and ichor

dull heart
#

all outdmg chloro

amber egret
#

forgot about them

pulsar cobalt
amber egret
#

wait so why would we care about grape beer if we already have lockon

pulsar cobalt
#

because lock on isnt homing

dull heart
#

lock on doesn't mean stuff actually hits them

high scaffold
dull heart
#

also accessory

fallen flame
#

Though those are kinda expensive

amber egret
#

nano has the issue of needing walls iirc

#

chloro just Does

pulsar cobalt
#

like using lock on just wont work if ur using smthn like demon scythe

#

where it takes time for the projectile to accelerate and reach its destination

high scaffold
#

High velocity bullets my beloved

amber egret
#

any bullet ever:

dull heart
#

chloro competetion in vanilla includes:

  • nano (niche)
  • high velocity
  • cursed
  • crystal
  • ichor
  • venom
  • luminite
  • exploding (worms)
amber egret
#

i cannot name a bullet that wont just Go There

dull heart
pulsar cobalt
dull heart
#

after luminite

#

tied with venom

pulsar cobalt
#

for no reason

fallen flame
dull heart
#

cal also guts high velocity

#

it nerfs HV speed

pulsar cobalt
#

also doze do u know if bullets in cal are gonna keep having a fuck ton of extra updates for no reason

torn cairn
pulsar cobalt
#

why do they ALL have speed buffs

torn cairn
#

oh

#

oops

dull heart
#

in cal the list is different and ichor is still there

pulsar cobalt
grave geyser
#

doze said its doubled

dull heart
#

it goes from 1 second to 2 seconds

pulsar cobalt
#

if its only for like a second its like a fine trade off

main estuary
high scaffold
#

Are there any dart shooting weapons planned rn?

dull heart
#

bfs got a nice buff in 2.1

pulsar cobalt
dull heart
#

namely i made the bullets fire from the shotgun barrel instead of the player

#

and sunny did some other buffs too

main estuary
#

cool
because i think the item was useless for literally everything outside of ccr

dull heart
#

now you can get every BFS bullet without being literally inside the enemy

pulsar cobalt
#

i think the real "there is no downside to this" is magarita

#

cuz even in like hardmode or pre hm

#

debuffs dont contribute that much dmg + u can get a weapon that doesnt deal debuffs

dull heart
#

margarita might be too strong

#

yes

#

we'll see on release

pulsar cobalt
#

nah i dont think its a might

grave geyser
#

like I think it cannot be understated that bloodflare core has a less harsh downside and the upside is absolutely disgusting amounts of healing
meanwhile moonshines benefit is "oh you have a slightly better blood pact hp increase :)"

dull heart
#

bfc also takes accessory slot

fallen flame
#

Also is this saying Hyperius bullets in general got reworked? I didn't know that lol

pulsar cobalt
#

the only section of the game where every weapon is balanced around having a debuff is also the section of the game where debuff damage no longer matter at all (post ml)

dull heart
#

moonshine's downside is also a benefit at times (like when paired with BFC)

grave geyser
#

I do not think the bfc synergy is nearly as good as you think it is

dull heart
#

i don't think the downside is nearly as big as you think it is

#

2 seconds between hits is not that big of a deal

grave geyser
#

bfc does not need moonshine for anything
it already is more than enough to heal you back to full if you take a single hit in isolation

#

and it makes you actively worse at taking back to back hits

dull heart
#

moonshine's main use will be things like pairing with regenator (33% more max hp = less likely to die in 1 hit + more regeneration) or like, not dying in one hit with glass builds

#

or anarchy blade i guess

polar tide
#

i paired moonshine with margarita and tequila sunrise it makes you sooooo fatttttt

dull heart
#

oops cit just saved us from evil grape beer

#

(-10% crit dmg instead of -75% bc i forgot to save)

fallen flame
#

It's over

#

New auto-pick just dropped

fathom girder
#

should be -25...

dull heart
#

no it needs -75%

#

without that it would outpace chloro

rancid pagoda
fallen flame
fallen flame
rancid pagoda
#

you do have to compare it to other on-tier options, not just guns

#

as it opens up using other weapons with homing

dull heart
#

other on tier options it has no competition in it's niche so if you want homing on a non homing

#

it's the only choice

rancid pagoda
#

yeah I mean using grape beer with basically anything versus using chloro with a gun

calm ingot
#

Grape beer vortexpopper meta?

rancid pagoda
#

but tbh it would definitely be more fun if chloro wasn't the only good option for homing

fallen flame
#

Grape beer wasp gun meta?

fathom girder
#

i wish

dull heart
#

grape beer phantasm gonna pop off

fallen flame
#

Oh yeah

fathom girder
#

what about the phantasm upgrade

#

I think it'd be cool there too

fallen flame
#

With luminite arrows you got 3X4 homing projectiles for the price of a single arrow

#

the margins are just... just wow

#

phangasm

fathom girder
#

eugh

#

can that be renamed that's such a fabsol name

dull heart
#

luminite arrow's adds don't home

fallen flame
#

sadge

dull heart
fathom girder
#

wonderful

fallen flame
#

I thought it was at least mildly clever

#

but it is a bit crass

#

then again so is Mourning Wood

fathom girder
#

I don't feel its namesake when using phangasm

#

so

#

failed naming schema

fallen flame
#

Isn't the Phangasm literally just the Phantasm with an extra arrow and more damage per shot?

#

idk if it changes anything else

fathom girder
#

I think it has a faster firerate and more than one added arrow but

#

yea

fallen flame
#

No it literally is just the one arrow and damage according to the wiki lol

#

Ok its also got a single extra point of knockback

#

Damn this thing is really post DoG

#

crazy

high scaffold
#

Rework may be

#

Or a replacement by something more interesting

#

We dont know

fallen flame
#

They are already reworking all the main DoG drops so that seems likely in the future :P

#

Kinda curious just how many weapons are gonna get the rework treatment anyway, seems like there is still a ton of weapons that haven't been touched in years lol

high scaffold
#

Gitgudwo will surely have a lot of time remaking all "ranking DoG weapons tierlist"

#

thx

high scaffold
#

Np

fallen flame
#

I figured

high scaffold
#

The results of quantity over quantity era have still not been solved completely

#

They are still removing some weapons to this day

fallen flame
#

I was surprised to see that even the MM weapons are apparently being reworked, though apparently that is more due to just thematic issues than issues with the weapons themselves

high scaffold
#

Most of bar weapons are left to be never used

rancid pagoda
#

I beat moon lord just yesterday and crafted all the magic weapons I could and it's way too many you can get immediately at that point

high scaffold
#

Honestly I feel like post moon lord progression is a bit too fast

#

Or feels too fast at least

rancid pagoda
#

astral ore is basically pointless as a progression point

high scaffold
#

Maybe because guardians dont have much real drops

fallen flame
#

I mean that's kind of an issue with vanilla Terraria as well to be fair. Tends to be unavoidable when several new weapons unlock after beating the next boss

high scaffold
#

Sentinel items are quite scarce too

fallen flame
#

Simple fact of "I beat boss, I get cool weapons. I beat next boss, I get better cool weapons"

rancid pagoda
#

in vanilla it's mostly just Plantera unlocking new dungeon enemies and the moons and final tier of eclipse

fallen flame
#

Only real solution would be to add more bosses that don't really progress anything, but those don't tend to be popular for obvious reasons

high scaffold
#

Not bosses but intermediate activities

rancid pagoda
#

progression needs to be spread out more, Plantera is the most obvious example of one boss unlocking way too many things at once

high scaffold
#

Plantera is a mini WoF

fallen flame
#

Plantera is by far the worst (all of her personal drops tend to be barely used for that very reason) but it still happens in other parts of the game. Even pre-hardmode can run into it with bosses like Skeletron or Queen Bee

fallen flame
high scaffold
#

What plantera drops I like: the flail, maybe magic guns and thats it

#

They are adding a plantera whip in 1.4.5

fallen flame
#

Venus Magnum got a lot better when it got auto-fire, basically just an Uzi upgrade

misty wren
fallen flame
#

Doesn't it have like the armory system and several mini-biomes?

misty wren
#

minibiomes no

#

arsenal stuff doesnt add any padding as it all runs in the background while you do other stuff

fallen flame
#

ah

pseudo vector
#

the arsenal will be more prevalent in brainstorm since you'll need it to access bosses like pbg

fallen flame
#

Again im not too familiar with the specifics, I just see stuff that seems like it would add more padding and assume it is lol

pseudo vector
#

and you'll ultimately need it at the end of the game if you want to fight exos

misty wren
#

the only real padding is like

#

i guess acid rain

rancid pagoda
#

anything can add padding if you are a hardcore completionist

pearl sentinel
fallen flame
#

Peanut Butter Gamer is a boss? neat

pseudo vector
#

a good amount of the arsenal weapons are being reworked too

misty wren
# misty wren i guess acid rain

but calamity nerfs so much of whats there in vanilla as padding which makes it so that it overall doesnt actually matter that acid rain exists as padding

pseudo vector
#

they won't be completely useless anymore

#

also the reworked weapons will not require charge anymore

#

once all arsenal weapons are reworked the charging mechanic as a whole will be dead

The fact that the Omicron is in the same tier as Primordial Ancient is still laughable to me

#

Just on a fundamental level

misty wren
#

i mean

#

look at what other classes have

#

hitting something with a progressively stronger rock is always an option

fallen flame
#

Yeah yeah I guess

fierce hearth
#

If energy blasts can scale infinitely, I believe rocks can, too

fallen flame
#

I've just always been a bit unconvinced when the progression in games has some obviously basic/primitive weaponry still holds up with (or even exceeds) the performance of things like laser beams/cosmic powers/fundamental elements lol

#

I know its basically unavoidable in Calamity but its still always going to be a bit silly IMO

misty wren
#

real life accurate

fallen flame
#

Isn't Aces High still considered one of, if not the best ranged weapon in the game currently? lol

misty wren
#

i dont think so

torn cairn
#

it kinda is afaik

#

against exos and scal and stuff

summer shore
#

Certainly not the best but it's still auric tier

misty wren
#

the best slot is far and away reserved for the bullshittery that is hellborn

i feel like a lotta exoweaponry doesnt take the advantage that miracle matter does infact molecularly reassemble weaponry into New Stuff

fathom girder
#

I feel like anything you craft into a weapon has been molecularly reassembled

amber egret
#

well yea

#

but you take this weapon and it turns into a thing htat makes sense to upgrade from

#

exo weaponry shouldnt really do that

fathom girder
#

photoeviscerator is rather unique for what it is

#

as an example

amber egret
#

theres the most i shoulda included

#

like, subsuming does it pretty good

#

exoblade is just kinda a lategame melee

to be honest i woulda expected ark of cosmos to do what exoblade does, and exoblade to do what ark does

There will still be so many potential reworks even after 2.1

amber egret

no i dont think so i think the game will remain stagnant for evermore

tribal isle
#

the murasama rework is right there and its like idk 3.0

fallen flame
#

I personally don't mind them reworking the current Miracle Matter weapons, but I hope they don't entirely scrap their current forms. If nothing else it's still a visually impressive and thematically cohesive set and it's always unfortunate when such obvious hard work goes completely to waste.

#

Maybe they could just become the new elemental set since the current elemental weapons are kinda old and outdated lol

dull heart
#

idk about thematically cohesive

pulsar cobalt
#

i dont think any dev has mentioned that the already reworked weapons will be reworked once more

dull heart
#

they're thematically consistent but the theme is not cohesive

pulsar cobalt
#

their vfx will change obviously to match the new designs but they wont be reworked

fallen flame
#

Eh, I mostly meant that they at least look similar in a way that still communicates they all belong to the same set

magic missile imo is boring because it either sucks or is autoaim

dull heart
#

L take

#

no whimsy

deft lily
#

mage class 🛌

#

melee class 🔥

amber egret
#

Magic Missile's niche is "Ventilation Ducts" and i wont lie theres Not Many Of Those In Terraria

dull heart
#

Magic missiles niche is being cool

hollow harness
#

clearly this person hasn't seen how ugly was magic missile before its rework

amber egret
#

no i mean like How You Use It

#

being able to direct a Projectile is Cool but like

#

when do i need to do that

#

the boss is Right There it is not Flappy Bird

dull heart
#

always because it's cool

#

also weapons don't just exist on bosses

#

Magic Missile in caves or the dungeon or hell houses

amber egret
#

terraria is like Cuphead in which its Only Bosses and Nothing Else actually

dull heart
#

no it's not

amber egret
#

hmm i think you're Wrong

#

its just retinazer and Biome Mimics

dull heart
#

calamity makes it more like that

#

due to nerfing literally every enemy

#

(Calamity nerfs hardmode scaling)

polar tide
deft lily
#

:(

amber egret
#

Obviously wisdom

fallen flame
#

He's still working with basic ore gear and can handle even blood moons and invasions just fine

#

But the second a boss shows up, he dies in 2 hits lol

dull heart
#

yeah

#

Calamity really makes stuff super boss centric

fallen flame
#

Seems like the difficulty is quite top-heavy with that setup

dull heart
#

Due to 3 major reasons

#
  • defense powercreep (being fixed in 2.1)
  • hardmode enemy scaling nerfs (being fixed in 2.1 I think?)
  • weapons not balanced in general gameplay and only bosses
amber egret
#

well yea

fallen flame
#

I see I see

amber egret
#

Most enemies are Boring Baby Shit and not Awesome Sigma Shit

hollow harness
#

(also on weapons, weapon design)

amber egret
#

like Bosses

fallen flame
#

I do hope that's tweaked a bit, I do think even the basic enemies should pose some level of menace at most stages of gameplay

fallen flame
amber egret
#

exceptional, are they Kind

fallen flame
#

Literally gives 0 craps about anything the game has to offer but the boss fights

amber egret
#

oh no i Like exploring

#

i also like Flanderizing

#

and Oversimplifying

fallen flame
#

His plan was to basically mod out every single piece of "busy work" (IE not boss fights) through "QoL" mods and then kinda just steamroll through the game

#

That's no way for a player to live

amber egret
#

no its Okay

#

singleplayer Game they just dont like Joy and Whimsy

fallen flame
#

I've basically had to convince him that me and my other pal will do most of the "busy work" for him so that he doesn't just install what amounts to a bunch of cheat mods

hollow harness
#

remove the busy work and then its like terraria: fight, fight, fight

mighty geyser
amber egret
#

what is Carrion

#

is that a Game

fallen flame
#

It is sad to see how much little stuff they've packed into terraria only for like 95% of the gameplay to just monopolize around combat lol

mighty geyser
fallen flame
#

Dont get me wrong, that is the best part of the game, but it's gotta have some decoration, you know?

hollow harness
#

qol just kinda kills the game sometimes thankfully I detoxed myself from that plague

fallen flame
#

I mean im glad I got to watch my one friend start playing simply so that I can know to what extent I should tweak Fargo's specifically lol

mighty geyser
deft lily
#

if people want to play with QoL mods thats their choice

they just cant be mad if it ends up killing the experience for them

mighty geyser
#

even in the big tier skip from hardmode to post moon lord its like

#

scorn eaters arent particularly threatening they just take a billion years to kill

fallen flame

GOOD IMAGE

deft lily
#

bruh

hollow harness
#

TRUE

#

TRUE

fallen flame
#

30 isnt even that much lmao

amber egret
distant raft
# fallen flame

counterpoint: no vanilla buff is short enough to run out mid fight

halcyon seal
#

30's just a holdover from items had unique max stack sizes

amber egret
#

they should have The Halibut Cannon

deft lily
#

theres definitely a fine line between a QoL change vs "change that makes the game easier for no reason" change

atp QoL has become a buzz word in the tMod space lmao

amber egret
#

Truth Nuke

halcyon seal
#

i think true qol is like

#

smarter cursor

#

just enough recipes

amber egret
#

see the word QoL means Quality of Life

halcyon seal
#

you could argue magic storage but id disagree

deft lily
amber egret
#

if it makes your life Quality, its QoL

fallen flame
hollow harness
#

small vanilla styled changes I think

amber egret
#

hm

#

no

#

Magic Storage is not Vanilla Styled

#

but that shit is Quality

#

and Life

fallen flame
#

Magic storage is about the only QoL mod I will actually conceed, simply because vanilla chests are too damn small

hollow harness
#

wasn't refering to Magic Storage in the first place

distant raft
fallen flame
#

If they had bigger chests I would maybe reconsider

polar tide
#

whenever people talk about qol i think about how one time i clicked on a video called "can you beat terraria with only accessories" and the guy used a mod that gave him 200 extra accessory slots and reforged every single accessory to warding and acted shocked and appalled that he was winning

hollow harness
#

i mean in vanilla potions are pretty much optional for me at least

fallen flame
distant raft
#

oh yeah vanilla's piss easy you can get by with jack shit

dull heart
#

vanilla potions are balanced around the fact they take effort to make

#

cal balacning with potions in mind is stupid and evil

hollow harness
#

The only buff item you kinda want to pay attention is anything Well Fed+

dull heart
#

nneds to die

distant raft
#

something something fab balancing around external qol

#

see: star cannon

mighty geyser
#

nothing can make a boss easier

#

we always need to balance around the best possible kit a player could have

rancid pagoda
hollow harness
#

Because Expert (and Master) makes the player regenerate less hp if they don't have the well fed buff or any upgrades to it

distant raft
#

blorbs will still be a thing for brewing potions

polar tide
#

blorbs...

hollow harness
#

either way Vanilla provides pumpkin seeds so the issue is pretty much avoidable

buoyant pulsar
distant raft
#

i remember the future system being something like adding more blorbs to increase the yield of potions brewed

rancid pagoda
#

tbf blood orbs only replace the easy materials

dull heart
#

blorbs suck so bad

hollow harness
dull heart
#

none of the alcohols can use blorbs

#

(they also only have one or two ingredients besides the glass bottles)

halcyon seal
dull heart
#

I don't think it is

halcyon seal
#

bc like those are meant to be notably harder than vanilla difficulties

dull heart
#

I'd much rather potions be optional and not expected power ups

halcyon seal
#

i think its good to encourage more prep for fights

fallen flame
#

I agree that I don't think potions should be taken for granted, yes on paper they should be extremely easy to collect and apply, but they are still "extra effects" that not every player will care or bother to interact with

dull heart
#

I think that prep should be encouraged through gear / arena instead of potion farming

rancid pagoda
#

unless you make it so that buffs do not get removed on death it is awful to expect you to be buffed for every fight

arctic cliff
# fallen flame

i think the takeaway is that potions are kinda super useful

buoyant pulsar
dull heart
#

alcohol persists through death for this reason

polar tide
#

is alcohol supposed to persist through death? lol

hollow harness
#

i think potions preparing should be like

dull heart
#

they're expensive to make but make large batches, and they persist through death because they're literally playstyle defining items

hollow harness
#

if you have trouble fighting a boss or something

dull heart
#

Grinding more of those rare items sucks

polar tide
#

because it does not on current bs auric beta

dull heart
#

Yeah it's a dev change

#

It'll be in next beta

polar tide
#

i sea

amber egret
#

i Love blood orbs

dull heart

I also made them make more than the beta

polar tide
#

blorba

dull heart
#

10/20 instead of 6/12

polar tide
#

waow

fallen flame
#

I mean personally I also see potions as something of a reward for players who bother to involve themselves into the other mechanics of the game that aren't solely combat related

dull heart
#

I agree

amber egret
#

i buy all my potions from QoL

#

because Raw Stats!!!!

dull heart
#

that's the problem with balancing around them is that just happens

#

just having players go buy them from QoL is so incredibly lame

#

but in the current state of potions not using QoL for them also sucks

amber egret
#

i think the Issue is that Potions are really really Valuable for like

#

The Game.

rancid pagoda
#

literally multiple things in Calamity making potions easier to craft and people just bypass all that anyway

amber egret
#

you More often than Not want More Stats

#

and most cant be bothered to Grow Plants or Keep Bottles

dull heart
#

yeah but once we don't have potions as the expectation

hollow harness
#

wrong its pretty easy to grow plants actually

#

You just have to invest on it

amber egret
#

why did NPCs stop Selling Potions again

dull heart
#

then we can make it clear to people that making them easier to obtain is changing intended balance

amber egret
#

or do they still do and i just mentally forgot

rancid pagoda
#

mindless fishing gets you everything because stuffed fish exists

dull heart
fallen flame
#

I wrote like, an entire essay to my friend about this, but the root of my mentality is that, if you can just make buffs/potions permanent after getting a fairly low amount, then you will basically just speedrun farming/fishing/etc just enough to get the required amounts, and then never touch that aspect of the game again, which, IMO, has an overall negative effect on the overall gameplay experience. Making it so that they aren't infinite and you are regularly required to restock and refresh your stockpile every so often forces you to consistently interact with various other systems the game has to offer. Sure, some might call it "busy work" and unfun, but that's the kinda mentality that just leads to people basically speedrunning bosses down and turning the entire game into 2d dark souls

rancid pagoda
#

and crates have potions

hollow harness
#

like literally calamity makes it so much easier to farm herbs

amber egret
dull heart
#

cal is moving away from providing so much potion QoL

fallen flame
#

If that's what you want then sure, but i personally disagree

amber egret
#

Raw Sheer Stats

hollow harness
#

you can control the time, you can control the weather

amber egret
#

but that takes Time and i already spend that Mining and Killing The Next Boss in Progression

dull heart
#

okay then either don't get the stats or get a mod to make the game easier

fallen flame
dull heart
#

both are fine

amber egret
#

I did that Already !

rancid pagoda
#

I happen to like the chill pre-boss stage of the game and all the ways to make that faster are taking away from the enjoyment

fallen flame
#

Making every mining speed bonus the game provides basically useless

hollow harness
fallen flame
#

Basically

amber egret
#

this Terrarian still Makes their Potions the Old Fashioned Way.......

fallen flame
#

I like Fishing

#

I might be alone on that but its true dammit

amber egret
#

get with the Times, Grandpa. we move Fast here

tribal isle
#

people actually fish n shit for potions instead of just buying them from the qol mod npc?

hollow harness
#

fishing is pretty easy too you just have to invest on it

amber egret
#

the next boss dies in Thirty Minutes or Draedon will Actually Nuke Terraria

#

we are on a Timer here

#

(half joking here)

dull heart
#

one thing about new alcohol I can definitely say is that buying them from QoL does break the intended balance and experience; but people will do it anyway and that's fine

#

blessing of modded is that you can play how you want

fallen flame
#

Fargo actually makes fishing way too easy IMO. Not only can you basically get every single useful accessory in a single in-game day, but almost every rod has multiple bobbers and just drastically improved fishing power (not including the angler enchantment that makes everything better X10)

#

I feel like this Fargo fellow just didnt like fishing much at all lol

hollow harness
#

historically there has been a crusade against anything that takes time in the game

amber egret
#

half of them are "Kill You Now" and the other are "We made an App to Destroy all Opps

tbf angler quests take more time but its oughh

tribal isle
#

i wish angler had an actual shop where u could buy bait and actually just fish whenever u want to

hollow harness
#

you can get bait everywhere though

fallen flame
#

I wish the angler just gave me the shellphone when I rescue him from the ocean snut

amber egret

Truth Nuke

rancid pagoda
#

bait is in a weird spot in vanilla where you become self sustaining with bait from crates but only after a point

amber egret
#

kills Everyone

tribal isle
hollow harness
#

you also have jungle bait

amber egret
#

get Crates my man

#

Crates = more Bait = more Winning

pulsar cobalt
#

i was gonna ask that cal should add an autofisher but im pretty sure thats actually being done in sso

hollow harness
#

like, if you really need to you can make jungle bait farms and it works

tribal isle

amber egret

i want it to be slow autofishing so i can actually multitask

rancid pagoda

pulsar cobalt
#

if its just the speed of normal fishing its too fast

fallen flame
fallen flame

which is why i think 30 is comically low

amber egret
#

Perish and eat my Not Consumable

hollow harness
#

the thing with angler quests its the rewards rate I think

#

well tbf you have guaranted prizes every x amount of quests completed

fallen flame
#

I do agree that only 1 angler quest per day base is quite rough, especially considering that the game actually offers very few ways to speed up time

rancid pagoda
#

when was the last time you actually crafted sonar, crate or fishing potions

fallen flame
#

When I last played vanilla lol

hollow harness
#

I don't craft them really I get them through quest rewards

amber egret
#

i get them from The Tackle Bag or from Fishing

pulsar cobalt
#

oh my god i just thought of peak idea

amber egret
#

Climb a Mountain

rancid pagoda
#

and the potions are the "bad" reward from the Angler

pulsar cobalt
#

an item that you can write in that reminds you to do stuff at certain times and what not

fallen flame
pulsar cobalt
#

so for example you can write "At 4:30 AM, do Angler Quest" and until you have done the angler quest it will keep notifying you to do it

rancid pagoda
#

after you got the good items from the Angler you can make him really unhappy to get more potions

fallen flame
#

and I dont necessarily mind being able to craft some of the items, but they should still require a decent time investment to do so

barren hollow
pulsar cobalt
hollow harness
#

the good items of angler used to be awful to get

pulsar cobalt
#

and also set if its a repeatable thing u wanna do or a one time thing

amber egret
#

using Sensors

#

and Signs

pulsar cobalt
hollow harness
#

thankfully vanilla makes the fishing components for cellphone/shellphone shimmerable between them so if you got multiple of one you can shimmer it into the other

barren hollow

fallen flame

I just look at the time

sly delta
# hollow harness maybe 3 a day honestly

random idea i had but what if instead of fishing quests u would just be able to rarely obtain quest fish from fishing and trade them in for rewards or credits to buy stuff from the angler

fallen flame
#

That could be neat

#

Would also allow you to see that beautiful spritework for the quest fish more often

hollow harness
#

honestly not bad considering if the quest fish catch would be tagged as Extremely Rare

fallen flame
#

Yeah would also be good to just have more rare catches in general, would make fishing power even more valuable
