Cuz you already have enough health
You already don't die regularly, it just means you're less concerned about it
Look I gtg for like 40 min, but I'd love to talk about this more after
Nothing is gonna kill you in any post game activity
Not that there's much that can kill you. Even Day EoL can be taken down very quickly with Star Wrath, Terrarian, SDMG, Last Prism and CeleMk2.
Yeah
i'd make the argument that the lack of unlimited health could be for pvp purposes
if you had infinite health pvp is nonexistent
but i don't work at relogic so can't really speak for them
Yeah I didn’t really get much time to think about why
I know now what I’d say
But it’s kinda pointless now
Cuz I don’t care enough about this to come back in 40 minutes lol
Use the Goblin Battle Standard, crafted with Tattered Cloth and Wood.
alr
Cuz I don’t care enough about this to come back in 40 minutes lol
Your loss I guess.
Nothing is gonna kill you in any post game activity
This is the point exactly, has no substantial impact, so there's no reason not to, it just makes it guaranteed as opposed to very unlikely.
Vanilla players arguing about balance is funny AF because modded is unbalanced asf
Yeah, modded is so bad lol
And I say that as a modder, myself, so we're clear; I'm guilty of the same problem, but I most certainly think to a lower degree than whatever the nightmare that vanilla is in its current state
Mods are also third-party software, and I would think generally get more flexibility of whatever they want to do with content balance.
There are a lot of "big sword go woosh" mods out there, for example.
tbh I've thought about making an encompassing mod that offers toggle-able balance and behaviour changes. Enough things in Vanilla that just gross me out currently that it's somehow worth more time to me to rewrite most of the AI and content behaviour than it is to just put up with current state.
oml my world has to be broken or smth
theres no way ive done this many pumpkin moons and havent gotten one horsemans blade
RNG for you. You're sure you're killing the right enemy and/or hitting the right wave(s)?
im getting to wave 15 and 16 almost every time
and 16?
Edit: 1.4.4 change, ok. I'm not sure what I expected to be honest.
how many have you done?
the pumpkings just arent dropping them 🥲
THB RNG is infamous.
lost count but probably around 15-20
damn
Seedler and Influx Waver as well.
i actually got influx waver really easily
ya i was confused at first too
meowmere took a few tries to get but ive been going at this for days 🥲
Same, I believe I got it from my first kill, and Cosmic Car Key from my second. THB took 3 Pumpkin Moons to get, and Seedler about 3 or 4 Plantera kills.
Star Wrath though? 16.
i was the opposite
i got so many star wraths it was getting annoying
then i finally got meowmere
at least moonlord is pretty quick to kill
getting to wave 15 takes forever
if i put water candles will it increase the pumpkin moon enemy spawn rate?
It should.
Do you have a proper spawning platform for pmoon?
I found often that having a certain location designed for events helped with farming
I mean, go figure, but actually though.
not sure how to describe this:
But when I try to change whips by changing with keybuttons. like 1 to 2.
But it doesn't change
like let's say I'm going from snapthorn to spinal tap
and I try to scroll down, or us keyboard
You can't swap held items while you're still currently using one.
it doesn't
any way to change it :>
What do you mean by that?
Please turn off reply pings, and.. that doesn't clear up anything.
You have to stop using an item before you can switch to another.
The swap is buffered until you stop using the item. As a result, you're better off single-tapping to trigger the whip stack, then autoswing the main whip once all effects are triggered.
Did you try asking #archive-ltp first?
thanks
this is what I wanted
Best thing to think is
It's a single player game
OMG! I spent a lot of time gathering fishing materials prepared to spend a while searching for an Ancient Chisel in a Desert crate and I found one in the underground desert!
Thanks dude, I love handicapping myself to make the game enjoyable
Who gives a shit Abt balance
I'm glad I found it, but I'm annoyed because what am I supposed to do with all the bait in my inventory
Wait what
i kid you not i made it to wave 17 and still nothing
my luck is seriously this bad
this event sucks
nahh, thats skill issue
you ever played tmodloader?
no?
Do you are have eyes
perhaps
There's gotta be an easier way to obtain Vines than by killing Man Eaters, right?
yo someone ping looking to play part for me its gone
someone want to do a mage playthrough on master mode with me?
sure
guys why do i go slow motion when fighting deerclops
He can inflict an unavoidable Slow debuff to all players nearby when he roars.
Basically, you'll have to deal with Slow the whole fight.
alr
another question
my brother has this problem where steam games just don't open does anyone know how to fix this?
You have to give terraria admin access the first launch
what
Terraria has to install the xna framework before it can run
so how do i do that
Launch terraria as admin through its location on your drive I guess
See where the game is stored and run it
Should be a little application icon in your files
Didn't think I'd get my butt kicked by pre hardmode enemies fished up during a Blood Moon, but here we are
Blood Moon fishing enemies are nasty.
Yeah... Learned that one the hard way... On a similar note, where's the best place to go fishing pre hardmode? I swear I never know where the best biome for that is...
Depends on what item you want, as you can get different items by fishing in different biomes. Most of them also have unique Crates that contain that biome's chest items.
man wtf i'm fighting skeletron and i get killed by a demon eye 🤦
Happens too often xD
Hate when that happens...
One of my first thoughts is Ebonkoi, but I have to tango with Eaters of Souls trying to interrupt me
You could set up Peace Candles or a box to prevent Eaters from harassing you.
yo can anyone help me build a base
Why can't I find Ebonkoi? I'm in the Corruption
Ebonkoi are a type of fish which are found uncommonly by fishing in the Corruption in any layer. They are used to craft Seafood Dinners and Wrath Potions.
Official Wiki.
I'm using a natural pool of water in the underground corruption, with a Peace Candle keeping enemies away from me
All I've found is basic stuff found fishing underground
That and a Purple Clubberfish
That is such a cool item lol
hello i am new to terraria
what do you need help with
.
.
.
.
can sandstorms spawn while you're in the desert
Probably
Yes
last time i checked any weather event can happen no matter where you are
not like snow in hell
but they can start no matter where you are
Is there an easier way to fish up Ebonkoi without finding other biome specific fish (since I've seen nothing but fish found underground)?
I've been waiting for the past two days in the desert and it sucks
Fish on the surface in a corruption-only biome
also no
you cant filter out the other fish you get
I would recommend using a sonar potion though
So I guess I'm creating an artificial pond in the above ground corruption... Why are Wrath potions a pain to craft?
Potions in general are. I just use Terrasavr to get a bunch because I can't be bothered to grind for herbs, especially Waterleaf, and my playthroughs are already way too long.
I already have a basic herb garden in the works, the other materials for certain potions will be a giant pain
I just use potions i find in chests
worked so far
750 Hours on unmodded PC alone and I never once mae a herb garden
About 300 hours on unmodded and I never once made one either
I played for a long time but I dont think i put too many hours in
especially compared to mr 25000+ hours
but i did used to play back on xbox 360
i remember i loved replaying the tutorial world
Nearly 3 straight irl years of playing
Boomstick or minishark?
Boomstick 90% of the time
Depends on the boss
Minishark is better against low defence bosses or if the player has some armour penetration
*boomstick 100% of the time
^ boomstick good.
sorry kep
*boomstick 101% of the time
Not really, boomstick is better if you can land most of the shots, which is most of the time
Just started a new game
like 30 mins in
names derd164 on steam
password's 1235
if anyone wants to join and play
Have you tried asking #archive-ltp yet?
With tungsten/silver bullets:
Minishark has 112.5 base dps (no crits)
Boomstick has 103.5 (no crits)
Unless the target has relatively high defence minishark will win
[Alt]+[F4] should, yes.
i started to play with someone yesterday
and they said new world
but it was downloaded map with big mountains lol
Minishark wins unless you hit 81.5%+ of boomstick bullets
What was your calculation process on this btw?
Yes, assuming you are using musket balls and the enemy has 0 defense
1 enemy defense will already lose around 10dps so-
For minishark
7.5 dps
and its effect on boomstick?
How did you get 103.5dps?
But the double necklace combo can more or less negate the defence of anything you'd fight phm
The point when you can get double necklace you already have access to better ranged options
lol
(14 + 9) * 3 / (40/60)
yea bee being dead, you’ve got bees knees at least and also molten fury / pewmatic most likely
Shouldn't it be 3.5 since boomstick shoots either 3 or 4 pellets?
Going on wiki here;
Minishark has usetime of 8 (7.5/sec), 6 damage...
7.5 shots/sec * 6 damage/shot = 45 damage/sec (45dps)
Boomstick has usetime of 40 (1.5/sec), 14 damage (x3.5)
(1.5*3.5) shots/sec * 14 damage/shot = 73.5 damage/sec (73.5dps)
Oh, I thought it was 3
Bullet damage moment
I'm ignoring bullet damage, you can apply addition to damage on your own
So boomstick would win if you hit 93%+ of shots
As it increases, minishark will outscale boomstick, but it would take a bit
From what I have seen boomstick has around 30 degrees spread, which means that it is almost guaranteed to hit bosses like EoC and KS less than half a screen away
Wouldn’t minishark be a lot more heavily affected by defense SMH
Defence is always something to consider, especially in "higher" difficulties (eg, expert/master)
Keep in mind minishark also has spread, so it's not going to always hit where you aim either
boomstick clears
true
also it feels better to use
I just did checked for EoC & skeleboi with necklace for both
Boomstick wins for both but minishark wins for BQ
Sooo, I think it'd make sense to use boomstick for EoC & minishark for BQ then switch to bee's knees for skeletron & go hellwing for WoF
also boom sound effect
BQ?
bee queen?
real
bee queen
why would you switch it around...,..
She gains defense as you get her lower hp unless you’re on classic
It was on paper
What's the defence gain?
in my testing boomstick did around 36% better (this is with maximum gear at the time including party bullets)
paper?!??!1
Fks sake
so true....
I can only make two Wrath Potions right now...
Aight, I forgot to account for the expert defence gain with BQ
Ig minishark kinda sucks against everything by comparison
Plus the gold required for it is a bit of a headache compared to raiding a few jungle shrines
Minishark buff when 
if they give it natural armor penetration
The musket beats it against EoC, King Slime, BQ, Skeletron
That's just sad
Musket is actually not bad
For a weapon you can get within first 5 minutes I'd say it's pretty good, can kill all the prehardmode bosses decently fast, it good
Musket very strong
Yes it's very epic gun go pew
3% more dps than minishark vs EoC
And the gap is even wider for skeletron & BQ
Whats the best way to get the martian scanner thing to spawn
Space above an ocean with water candle & battle potion
Outer 2 thirds of the map, recommend sitting above Dungeon since it has some nice elevation and usually has a floating island above it
Ok
Increased spawns are beneficial, having lifeform analyzer will detect the probe being nearby iirc, in the event it spawns underneath you.
Havent managed to snag that yet. I'll just look for it around
Lifeform Analyzer is from TM Oh wait you mean the probe
Water candle makes them 4x more common, very worth it
aaa ambiguous pronouns always get me
I can't find the spawnrate increase for probes when in space anywhere ;-;
The wiki just says more common without a specific number
hey guys i am new to terraria
w
is it a fun game
Little late, 2D block game party ended Sep 28th of last year
so what does that mean
If you drop 9999 voodoo dolls in the lava, many npcs will die, not just the guide. (At least in journey mode)
bro what
Joined on the wrong update if you were looking for fun balanced game.
If you're looking for sparkles and shimmers I guess you're in the right place.
yeah try it, its wild. I assume its a bug
It's deliberate behaviour
bro i dont even have a world yet
oh, I see haha
its not a bug
i like js now download it
I just said that
I see, well good luck and have fun!
its not? seems kinda whack to me
yep
wait i have a question can people play muti player
Yes, Terraria supports multiplayer
how can u do that
You can select host and play from multiplayer select screen to play with your friends, or join them from an invite, ip, or through steam.
Alternatively, you can host or join a dedicated server
does anyone have 50 waterleaf plants]
ohh ok
my plants wont bloom
does anyone have 50 waterleaf plants]
Download all-items world, use inventory editor tool to spawn them in, or join free items server.
"How?" -> Google, Workshop, [Ctrl]+[F]
can u play with randoms
#archive-ltp Is randoms
Otherwise the closest you get is dedicated server hosts
But let it be known most are not your standard vanilla playthrough experience
I'm gonna say no there bud
ok js asking
not space, martians not defeated = approximately 1 in 100
not space, martians defeated = approximately 1 in 400
space, no water candle, martians not defeated = approximately 37 in 240
space, no water candle, martians defeated = approximately 1 in 30
space, water candle, martians not defeated = approximately 16 in 25
space, water candle, martians defeated = approximately 19 in 100
battle potion?
same chances per spawn attempt, battle potion just means more spawn attempts
ah k
Interesting that wiki says water candle increases spawns by "nearly triple" but the smallest increase I see there is ~4x
ie...
37/240 (~15.4%) -> 16/25 (64%), by wiki: 111/240 (~46.3%), actual multiplier ~4.2x
1/30 (~3.3%) -> 19/100 (19%), by wiki: 3/30 (~10%). actual multiplier ~5.7x
This car key is soooo good
im legit depressed
the only thing i dont want to do is to spent over 50 hours of my life doing the 250 angler quest achievement -_-
wdym
That achievement will remove your "touch grass" abilities
Needta get shooty boi to sell me gun parts
Yes but how do I get the generic gun
I know
I need to get shooty boi to sell me bad parts to make sand gun
And I need gun to get shooty boi
me who alr hav 176 quests done ;-;
i havent seen grass in over 30Billion Hours
im not sure it even exists
at least i hav terraria grass :/
Supreme Helper Minion ach is such a flex lol
also sad, but like..
woo, fishing..
Used to actually be useful
anyone got a guide doll im trying to do wall
bro
used to be?
ultimate flex, lol
farm in ftw
fishing is still useful
in a 1.4.4.9 world, is it possible for shimmer to just not spawn
HOLY SH
what is ftw
for the worthy
for the worthy
???
its a seed
used to be?
Can just get 90% of the things players otherwise fished for
go luk in wiki
bro
because on my world i literally cant find it anywhere
dude i just want a doll to do fight
correct. and?
look for near beach
ive looked on terramap, dug for it myself, but i physically cannot find it
By virtue of there being faster methods, it is less useful
by 90% do you just mean lava charm and shiny red balloon?
bcuz i didnt know it existed until my friend flexed his in my face
Btw. The liquid does not appear pink on map
Lava Charm, Balloon, Radar, there are a few others hold on
It’s just blue
u know
im aware, but the structure and stuff isnt there and i cant find anything that looks similiar to shimmer
there is a wierd thing
Stool, Aglet
fishing for the surface chest loot was next to useless anyway
like the little cave thing it spawns in isnt visible from what im seeing
Did you create the world before 1.4.4 and are just now on it?
maybe im trippin
Was good for poor rng or multiplayer
i created it in 1.4.4.9
that ppl say that to reforge with no cost, throw ur reforging thing in shimmer, take the dissassembled parts and craft it again for a chance for a reforge
but even then, you had to do a lot of fishing for them
Not really? I mean, a bit, but it was still the renewable source
Oh
i created before
hm :/
That's not to say fishing is entirely useless, just much more so now imo
if u update, the map is the same but the features are added
How do you summon the empress of light
how do i update the world?
wait sry
Wrong message?
wrong message
Weong message. Xd
but u cant update the world
u cant just overwrite world regen
u have to create a new world, take the shimmer there and make a artificial one in ur old world
imo
upgrade to 1.4.3 tbh
the only thing fishing if useful for is for then enchanted sword
and the enchanted sundial/moondial
That's fair, I would generally agree with that sentimate.
also
what is the drop rate of the influx waver?
im getting depressed farming for it
1/7 I think?
7 total drops
what drops the space minigun
uhhhh
Laser Machinegun is saucer
wait no 1/9, forgot blaster cannon and drill
ok lol my bad
me when message deleted because ???
1/6 drop chance
Were drops moved in 1.4.4?
xenopopper, xeno staff, laser machinegun, electrosphere launcher, influx waver, and car key are dropped from the martian saucer
laser drill, anti grav hook and charged blaster cannon from enemies in the event
No way
im just bad at this guy lol
they were moved in 1.4.0.1 according to wiki
good question
Like drill and hook I can see. I liked hook, but okay, it was upsetting for all the impatient melee users to get hook/drill instead of influx and only influx, whatever.
But blaster cannon too??
Honestly!
as a mage enjoyer this is good since I can farm both weapons easier
like kill enemies for the blaster cannon while waiting for saucers to get machinegun
Doesn't that mean less saucers per invasion though?
Bro I just got a slime stick
Oh wait nvm they screwed that, I forgot
Or staff
does anyone know if there is a builder's workshop for calamity mod?
my friend is having an issue where tmodloader wont even launch idk if its a steam thing or tmodloader, he tried verifying files, reinstalling the game and restarting steam. anyone know?
you could use cheat sheet if you need certain items
does anyone have a drill mount i can get
my friend is having an issue where tmodloader wont even launch idk if its a steam thing or tmodloader, he tried verifying files, reinstalling the game and restarting steam. anyone know?
Very specifically, close and re-open Steam.
For some reason, Steam made an update that's just causing chaos everywhere with opening applications. You should also be able to open from local files (right click on game, browse local files, findTerraria.exe)
does anyone have a drill mount i can get
Download all-items world, use inventory editor tool to spawn them in, or join free items server.
"How?" -> Google, Workshop, [Ctrl]+[F]
ah thank you
yo anyone got a all item world
Have you considered: scrolling? Using Google (or your preferred search engine/browser)? How about the Steam Workshop? And how darest I forget about the holy one, [Ctrl]+[F].
is there a reason why my lihzahrd power cell dont work at the altar???
does anyine here got sea of thieves
is there a reason why my lihzahrd power cell dont work at the altar???
Needs to be post-plantera, otherwise shouldn't be any restrictions. Make sure you're interacting with altar instead of trying to use item like normal.
Just wondering is giant harpy featehr one of the statue drops or not?
anyone nee dhelp with anything
i dont think so
help me, why terraria crash when i put a door?
yo will plantera bulbs spawn if background walls are placed?
oi
anyone wanna show me their builds_
Recommend seeing #terraria-creations, lots of builds posted there regularly
hey i've been having trouble getting rats to spawn in my graveyard??? every other graveyard mob is spawning except the rat. I've tried standing with a water candle and moving the biome closer to town, but still no rats 😦 any ideas?
go luk it up
also it is a drop
The Rat is a critter that spawns in the Graveyard and cannot harm players. Rats will attempt to dodge any enemy although they cannot be hurt by them.
Sorry not helping
i've already checked out the wiki, didn't find any answers on why it's not spawning there, that's why i'm asking here lol
Uhh
trying to lmao
It's just rng. Gotta just keep watching
when u just touch a critter is it logged into the bestiary?
]
or do u hav to kill/catch
you have to catch it/kill it
Odd, feel like I've gotten or seen a lot of entries that don't involve that
me with guide to critter companionship -_-
Maybe just Terraria being jank, wouldn't be the first time
LMAO its a love/hate relationship with that thing tbh
the only reason i use it is cuz i dont wanna accedentaly trigger EOL
accidentally*
bcuz im using the zenith and its jank
and yeah ik, same thing happens to me sometimes
does it?
i just hate accidentally destroying the nature bits of my builds :/
bcuz im pretty sure that i didnt get any entries from running around seahorses
:/
can we all agree that the crimson is more terrifying than the corruption?
yo do i need to dig tunnels all the way to hell to stop the corruption spreading?
corruption is like "oooo welcome to the spookhouse fam"
and crimson is like "LEAVE, or DIE."
more scary, yes, but not as annoying as the beginning of the game falling in the holes in corruption
true
i like to keep 30 super heals an 30 poison flasks on me at all times
also
i need a opinion
best flask?
if you want to
depending how bad you think the spread got
if its not that bad, just dig until you dont see purple, with 3 blocks wide of space
6, if you dont trust the 3
lol my world is just filled with tunnels to hell to stop the spread
best flask?
Depends. Damage, Ichor or Venom.
Utility? Nanites or Gold.
or that works
my dryad is going insane everytime she sees my 37% crimson and 23% hallow XD
HEY I GOT A RAT fucking FINALLY
tell the dryad to take the steampunkers gun thing and do it herself
i got my crimson down to 6% and hallow is at 8% but i cant fully get rid of them yet bc i still need to finish my stupid fishing quests
do you have like
LMAO fr she complains about it but does nothing
an exact idea where all of the stuff is
exactly
t h r o w h e r i n t o i t .
actually a good point, maybe dryad blessing should have purifying effects
Maybe something to mod in.
that might actually be cool, put her in between biomes to stop or slow the spread
On the subject of NPCs affecting tiles, I should make painter paint his house every now and then >:)
theres the pylon mod that helps purify the area if you give it purifying powder
in ur opinion
wats the most useless NPC
imo its the pirate
he sells absolute BS
Town NPC or just NPC in general?
any NPC
Stylist
imo
Pirate also has a dope ass shimmer
davy jones
not as useless as the pirate
Pirate probably my favorite Npc
wtf do u need a cannon for tho -_-
u can legit use 2 buckets of lava
to make a permanent farm
u have to buy cannonballs for the cannon
You can legit stop complaining about the pirate for no reason
Ask stardust about useless npcs
They’ll say town slimes
@last gull
Last time they made a paragraph
But uh, prob jungle mimic for 2nd most useless
im prty sure that its not part of the bestiary
It is an NPC, you did not specify any restrictions
no i mean
It can only be in the bestiary for certain seeds
if it were
yea
but i just use the constant for pylons
bcuz there is no happieness
happyness
Happiness
I thought that was inverted seed feature, not dst seed?
I said special seeds who mentioned dst
dongdigup?
Nope
way back when terraria first came out on mobile, i had a world where i just... kept getting slime staffs?? i had like 8 of them in a chest and started selling them bc i had no idea they were rare since i just kept getting them lol
oh
I said special seeds who mentioned dst
Guy said dst seed for no happiness, I'm pretty sure it's inverted seed that does that
The upside down one.
Don’t dig up?
There is one seed that specifically fits that criterion, I don't know how to help you
I’m leaving
2
Gfb
Gn
oh wow
Combo seed doesn't count because it's just the effects of all others
That aside, having it all seed-locked is ridiculous. Why not have them as world customisation options like difficulty?
I'm well aware a mod exists for it, but why is that not vanilla tbh
I'm doing another Terraria playthrough, this time without Journey mode.
Which class should I go as?
I like summoner but I want to try something new.
Melee
Depends on the experience you want.
Summoner and Mage are generally going to be a reasonable experience.
Melee will be playing on easy mode.
Ranged is.. kind of between the 2
Magic tends to be pretty diverse in its available items at a given stage, and if you enjoyed playing summoner, I think it's a good choice, since you'll already have had the experience dodging attacks as a summoner.
Ranged leans more toward "easy mode" than melee tbh
Melee is powerful but the game tends to favor the run and gun strat
They're both pansy little "run away and shoot at the enemy" classes
As are the other 2 as well
go melee on expert and you'll learn smth
important skills
True, but the other 2 also have the lowest defence stats generally speaking, and the mana limitation for mages tends to encourage resource management
most importantly dodging
And I know you're going to be "oh look at this piece of armour from a melee set that still works for other classes," because we've done this song and dance, and I'm tired of trying to argue why an item that goes with a particular class set very specifically fits with that class, and not another one.
average zenith enjoyer
Talking about me?
Melee only has the run and gun strat for a few weapons and they sort of get less common the further you go in the game
It tends to favor a close range semi-tank playstyle, which you can then of course alter to maximise dps and lean more towards that run and gun strat, or a tank build, and that's pretty straightforward
I'm probably the most anti-zenith person you can find in this server lol
gigachad sniper rifle user
Armor mixing is a very obscure concept that I've barely seen anyone promoting
Terrible one too
Wait fr, was that someone else? shoot my bad
Melee only has the run and gun strat for a few weapons and they sort of get less common the further you go in the game
What is "the further you go in the game" referring to here?
Early on in the game there are a lot of boomerangs for example, and in pre mech you have things like shadowflame knives for example
As you progress these melees start to get less common as the highest dps melees or most useful ones tend to be more "melee" to some extent
With exception to a few like the vampire knives
ranger class on top ngl
Ah, sure. The items get additional "melee" hitboxes (quotes on that because it's almost never the item melee hitbox sadly)
or thrower
The reworked melees also had their projectiles reworked to they feel less ranger-esque I guess
But they completely forgot about influx waver
Idk, they feel more magic to me than they did before melee changes
Large AoE + held projectile
Hey as long as you're not using said projectile at a very long range, it's still a lot less ranger than the ranger class
Better than before at least
I mean, sure, but how far away do ranged weapons usually get fired? Like, say, across the screen ish?
more than that
it drops overtime if u shoot high enough
i just use everything... i have full stardust armor, zenith, and i also use bows and magic
Bows, sure. Guns and rockets, not so much
HOW
Zenith outclasses literally everything, I'm not sure how you're surprised there.
terraprisma build or smth
sniper rifle literally op wdym
lmao idek, i didnt realize people just pick a class and stick with it, i just use whatever i think is best
lol true
or whatever i think is cooler, depends
Yeah
If you ignore the melee weapons that are basically thrower items with melee damage, most if not all melees are just short of the range of a rotten egg
The heldproj hitbox, yeah. Still looking at night's edge, influx, terra, hatchet, death sickle, all yoyos, gungnir, etc with long-range or long-lifetime projectiles.
Excal/True Excal are.. generally okay. I wish the range was a little shorter, and maybe they shouldn't infinitely pierce (idk, have pierce mechanics like unholy arrows or smth), but otherwise, I am okay with that change.
Horseman's blade also, sorry*
Nah I like the infinite pierce
After all, swords do slash through stuff
Then change damage or something, because you look at the other 3 classes around the same progression, they don't have inf pierce without drawbacks
yea
Well, yeah, they have a different playstyle
All three are very squishy classes, generally they're gonna be far away from their enemies unless rhey screwed up
While melee is more close range and crowd control
melee is the only class that can afford to get close
But I don't think melee wants to get close is the issue
well
It can still play pretty far away
Getting close is the point of melee
And melee can absolutely tank everything like nobody's busniess
Star cannon / star shooter have no drawback right
rince the solar weapons are both ranged "melee"
That's fair, star cannon
Solar eruption doesn’t have that muchh range idk
But javelin moment
bcuz im a wimp

I like tanking i particular and goin close range where possible
I think what melee suffers from is the way Terraria's combat is designed, it has constant hitboxes, which makes actual melee confrontation less desirable.
And, I'd like a way, other than giving melee this stupid huge AoE thing, and other than rewriting all the AI, to make this less of an issue.
And so, even if melee performs best when really close (does it even? I think the projectile iframes interfere with each other, no?), the game itself encourages running away.
do u think that its strange that i prefer turtle armor over beetle
I got ML's deathbeam down to a mere 58 damage in expert ftw lol
rly?
Yes but what is it about turtle
Appearance?
thorns
Pretty much yeah
Apart from the built in thorns potion, beetle is a direct upgrade
Oh
Ye
true nights edge or terrablade?
Turtle has 15% damage resistance
Terra
Terra is just better now, TNE had its damage reduced below Terra iirc
Terrablade obviously
By a lot
Also, large, fast, high-dmg AoE
before 1.4.4 terrablade was just trash
No
Disagree, Terra was great pre-1.4.4
Hard to hit the projectile is more accurate
but the amount of projectiles and area was meh
I swear half of the people say it was good then and trash now and half of the people say it was trash then and good now
well they did buff teh area
"oh no melee got less projectile, what ever shall I do"
"oh wait, that was down a patch"
basically me
Yes, that is why I said it, because that is what you sound like right now
Yeah, I can see why
See, the idea is close-range combat.
Projectiles, by definition, are basically not that
stardust dragon or cell
Terraria uses projectile rather leniently (things like Arkhalis and Terragrim being projectiles makes it sound like they have a long rangez when it's more accurate just to say they're not "melee")
stardust dragon or cell
Honestly, I just hate dragon. I'm well aware it's actively stronger now, but it's got stupid AI, and it gets in the way for building.
Dragon for bosses and cell for crowds and building
And fishing
Dragon has better CC
Huh.
Each segment hits as it passes through enemies
dragon is definitely more fun though
ppl think that dragon is better because they do large amounts of contact damage
It has pierce, which is just innately good for CC
but the flaw with using dragon for cc is
that was what i was gonna say
Well maybe I’ve been living a lie
but if u play pure summoner
I think a lot of people have been lol, I regularly have people tell me cell staff better for crowds, and have to explain dragon CC
For fights I prefer cell
If I'm doing anything that doesn't involve fighting, then I go for dragon
honestly I think dragon is probably better in events as well since it targets enemies quicker and kills them quicker. Obviously it only targets one thing at a time but it usually just charges through everything anyway
Since it attacks through blocks
that isnt a problem, because when u buff the dragon length and damage it finishes a emeny quickly
Yes it targets one enemy, but it's not always the best about targetting, say, the closest. This means the segments often pass through other enemies multiple times
yeah
Everything
All segments
And since all segments have local iframes, it's just better, sadly
Which is the reason why it's either gonna be amazing in boss fights or a downright liability
dragon is better for dps, which is honestly all I care about
except I would probably use the cell for day EoL
Optic
why
That's fair, moves very fast
Tiger always
why
u know the thing that i regret the most
Crowd control and flying enemies
b4 1.4.4 i used my golden worm to make a golden delight
Tempest and Sphere just suck though lol
like fishron tempest?
yes
Tempest doesn't hit regularly, sphere has slow startup
ye it does suck
Tempest is a very good option for even empress
Calm
just struggles with duke and only duke
Unless it got stealth buff
Sundance tbf
Ah, yeah fair
Sphere is a better version of optic basically
to kill day EoL i had to use master ninja gear, star veil, brain of confusion, hallowed armor with everything reforged to either menacing or lucky
You uh, you did this before 1.4.4 right?
ye
I honestly have to disagree. Optic has always been very snappy in my experience, plus having 2 minions for 1 slot is very nice
Oh good
bcuz i started in like 1.4.1.2
yeah that build would suck after 1.4.4 but nice 
^^^^
It used to suck before 1.4.4, but now it's pretty decent
Did it get buff?
Most minions did
Yeah iirc
Or did everything else get nerf?
Which includes optic but still
but optic has 2
Should only be blade and sanguine
oh they nerfed sanguine?
Yep
Most minions did
odd, I remember reading patch notes and reading about all the summon items getting nerfs. Might have been just whips and sentries tho
brooooooo
i spent 1 and a half hours to kill dreadnautilus
just for sanguine
and then they nerfed it
It's still good for its stage
;-;
Just because it got nerfed doesn't mean its trash
I mean, kind of other, cheaper, equally-good options though
It used to hit twice per hit sometimes which gave more damage than intended
Like on the way to the enemy + returning
sanguine?
Yeah
oh thats not a nerf its just a bug fix
bcuz it wasnt intended anyways
just happens to also be a nerf
It was surprisingly common while escaping but yea kinda
Still a nice minion even if I stick to blade and optic
im considering calamity cuz im in the "i beat ML like 50 times and have the zenith" for vanilla :/
On what difficulties have you beaten the game
legendary , master, expert, normal
basically all
Have you tried ftw or gfb
Journey with spawn boosts 😳
legendary IS ftw or gfb it can only happen there
Should consider thorium or split first imo.
Don't get me wrong, Clam is the chocolate ice cream of Terraria, it's the go-to not-vanilla. But generally, it sets the wrong expectation for other mods, and just ruins the experience, from what I have seen and heard.
Which one did you do then
what does thorium do?
also
can u carry ur items from vanilla into a modded world?
or do u have to make a new character
It's another general content mod, but generally people agree that it feels more integrated with vanilla than clam
Ie, adds items, biomes, NPCs, etc. just like you would expect of most large mods
Hi
can i?
or do i have to make a new one
tmod has impoty player option
You can also just install mods like DragonLens (Scalar's new cheatsheet/heros mod, but better in every way) to spawn items
i read on the calamity wiki abt an accessory called "The Calamatious One"
then i find out how worthless the zenith is to calamity players
but to craft it i think u need a fan mod
Clam throws vanilla balance out the window (it's okay, vanilla did this in 1.4.4, and everyone loves it ig)
i have a friend who plays calamity and says that he cant beat the god killer worm (is it called that?)
like the big worm that had stupid amounts of health
Yes ik what you're talking about.
the dog
...
heh
The god killer worm
Petition to make it canon
So like, question for you lot, because I want to hear more about this. Was discussing with a guy earlier about postgame balance, and they had claimed that Zenith and RoH are allowed to be unbalanced because of postgame, but they drew the line at giving the player invulnerability, and I suppose I'm curious, what do other players think about how Terraria's postgame is balanced, and is it fine as-is?
as a person with both the zenith and the RoH
Where is the line that players draw, because apparently I'm on the wrong side of it XD
i can say that post game progression should add a scond layer of hard
like hard mode but for ML
bcuz one u have the zenith
all the bosses and mobs are just squishy now
I agree tbh
so i think that after ML the bosses health should lik 1.5x (maybe 2x?)
because once you get the zanith and the RoH the game just isnt fun anymore
post game is balanced
well the game ended, it kina makes sense
all the bosses and mobs are just squishy now
Right? But I've seen a lot of people say that's okay, and I'm not sure it's a sentiment I agree with.
u can basically dominiate the entire terraria world now
'tis the point of an "endgame"
I mean, HK has an endgame that isn't world domination, so would it be okay to have that there?
i have a mob farm, an event farm, a herb farm, a golf course, a railway that runs through the entire map, pylons and personalised houses for all npcs.
like my point is
after u beat ML
the only logical thing to go from there is speedrunning for the real sweaty gamers and mods for the more casual ppl
which is why i was looking into clam
See, and like, I don't understand that. Like, I completed the final step of progression that the game offers, but I don't think it's fun to be all-powerful.
But okay, so like.. what are thoughts on afforementioned idea; is infinite health unfair somehow?
But where's the logic there?
It's balanced to be able to kill everything almost instantly, but not balanced to be immortal?
What's the difference?
but for ppl who havent, the could go grind for the terraprisma, or the RoH or smth
and having invincibility would take out the tiny bit of challenge that it actually offers
So do you or don't you want postgame challenge?
i want something more
and im thinking abt Calamity bcuz my friend that there is vanilla progression, but there is also so much more after that
after you beat ML
it IS like HardMode overagain
But then why do things like Zenith make sense? I am honestly trying to understand here -- peeps keep telling me this and it keeps leading to circular narrative.
well
everyone can agree that the zenith is OP
but i think the devs wanted to give ppl an actual reward
other than just the feeling of beating ML
the zenith is tangible and a goal to shoot for that almost everyone wants
is pushes people to complete the progression
but if u dont have the zenith
ML is just optional
because there is no real purpose to beat it unless u want the meowmere or smth
Would something like invulnerbility not be a goal like that? Or a star or badge on the player icon?
Going for a tangible reward sounds fine, barring that ML already has very strong drops.
I feel like one of the main reasons is coding
how do you determine you're in the true endgame, meaning there is nothing left to do? You can easily say its when you have your class luminite armor and post ml weapon, but knowing the game's engine, that might be a bit complicated to code in
invulnerability just inst for everyone
some ppl enjoy the feeling of just dominating the entire game
but some ppl think that they would still like a better challenge after ML
like me
but inowing the gane's engine (...)
Game's engine is custom made and therefore flexible.
an endgame isnt defined by the game, its defined by the player
for example
that and so you still have the possibility of things like pvp and flexing how little damage you take, etc.
you could just throw all the progression out the window and start a giant build
exactly
for you, the end of the built would be an endgame
the game progression is only a tool to help you achieve your goal
you can make whatever goal you like
the game is just a tool to help you achieve it
do I need to talk to get the terrarian role
So... what. It's fair because the player has the option to forgo using it?
yes
yes
yes
the game doesnt force you to use the zenith
or the RoH
its just goals that the player make themselves
true endgame isnt after you beat ML
its when you are satisfied with what you have accomplished
so if the player could spawn items at will, it's fair and balanced, because the player can choose to ignore it?
Alright, sticking to it, I approve.
everything is fair game
but minecraft players choose to use creative mode to accomplish their goals
after all whats the fun of playing in creative mode all the time?
same for terraria
you bought the game, so you can play it how you want
if you know the zenith will ruin most of your game experience
why do you make it?
See that's the thing, everyone says that, and I honestly -- no offence meant -- think it's a really stupid question.
Here is the next natural step in progression, the apex of all items, the infinity+1, and somehow it's expected to be fair to say, "I'm going to ignore progression, and handicap myself to have fun"
That's not to say creative restrictions to that point are moot, as much as it is, "I'm restricting myself at the stage in the game where it shouldn't matter"
but if you choose to create the zenith and them complain about how it ruins the game, it just makes you really whiny who cant think for himself
it has good parts and bad parts
but you can choose for yourself
And it's totally fair on the devs' part to throw away balance because it should be on the player to control
im not sure if that sarcasm or not
That's what I'm hearing
ok that is sarcasm
I'm not being sarcastic and I'm still not seeing why it's a fair expectation
well
i dont pretend that i know why the devs added the zenith
and anything i said above is just my opinion
But you are on board with it?
It's a fine addition, and it's balanced.
you can have ur own
You know what, fair.
i think its an ok addition but not very balanced
And I earnestly wish it was, because it really detracts from the experience to, in every playthrough, reliably have access to what is effectively a cheat weapon
i agree
alr gtg
ttyl
sure, cya
weird to say it detracts from the playthrough when you beat the game by the time you get it.
Fire cracker is overall better because it goes BOOM and does lots of damage and is good endgame still
But get both, coolwhip is also good
what experience is left in the game after you beat it? that's the point of the argument
its more of a trophy than a weapon tbh
Yo I was wondering will chrorophyte spread if I'm afk and not moving or do I need to set an autojump like for a mob farm
Nah no need
Ty :)
Np
Why do you need so much chlorophyte anyway
There are some deep mechanics on chlorophyte spreading
I suggest the wiki
For a build
Ye I'll check on ways to improve my farm when I get back from uni
Did you make your own farm or reseached one?
My own I don't really like to get too much info outside the game I like to discover things in game xD
It's just that I tested afk farming and wasn't sure if there was much difference so I asked
anyone got a world where they can give me 14 soul of might
who can play teraria?
just farm
Maby he cant beat destroyer?
so you want them to break progression?
I am not racist
Easiest boss to beat just go high enough and spam w stormbow or just use a chest and dynamites just try to avoid the laser and set up bast heal lantern and fire and honey
It rly takes like 30m
Stormbow is useless with the nerf
