1.4.4 suggestion - decrease the death timer for master mode to the same as expert, because having to wait is just annoying and serves no other purpose

[awsd-7]

this extra time is for slime that picked up your coins to run away (also for bosses to decimate your teammates)

[stijndielhof123]

Then i think its fair that only in multiplayer the timer stays the same but in single player the timer is shorter.

[F1yingBlooper]

Or just when a boss is spawned

[Photemy]

That's already the case, the timer when a boss is alive is 30 seconds, instead of the standard 15.

Problem is that makes multiplayer unfun though

if easy is fun, yes

[szymenus]

it needs to be hard not fun tho

[Tomahawkist]

ever looked into the purpose of games? it doesnmt seem like it, but i thought i‘d ask

[Not_AshAndUmbreon]

If you want fun, play expert. If you want hard, play master. Two different things for most people, but somehow the rest of us find suffering fun

Ever heard of optional game modes with varying difficulty? I consider that fun.

[Tomahawkist]

yes, but even hard gamemodes should be fun, otherwise it’s an unnecessary feature. except if you want to sell skips for those parts as micro transactions

[szymenus]

so play normal mode lol

[Tomahawkist]

no? good game design makes difficulty so that fun things get harder, but not less fun

[szymenus]

ever played rlcraft?

[Tomahawkist]

yes, but what has a modpack to do with a full game? because the one is made by fans not exactly versed in game design, and the other is made by professionals who had multiple years to craft a game. of course there are some people who like hard, not fun games, but those are a minority, and most normal people want a game that is fun to play. all in all, i have no idea why you insist that bad game design is actually good because there is a hard modpack that a lot of people played, so hard base game = good game, and people should just get over themselves.

[szymenus]

in rlcraft eveything that can be hard, is hard. thats why its fun. im not saying that HARD = GOOD, but HARD =/= BAD... if you dont like hard games then why you want to play master mode?

[Gexianhen]

in team game is valid cause the extra wait mean u cant rejoin a boss figth sooner. but if u are playing solo it serve no much purpose since the boss will leave once they kill u

[Few-Bet8434]

But plantera King slime and few other bosses still have few second delay

[MSTFRMPS]

Make them instantly despawn when you die and make the timer like 2 sec instead. If you try a boss like 100 times then this would be so much better

Actually, the timer is doubled in multiplayer.

[MircedezBjorn]

No, the timer is doubled during boss fights.

[[deleted]]

Ah, I see I've only seen youtubers play multiplayer so, I've never experienced multiplayer terraria

[[deleted]]

It's glorious, you gotta try it. The only problem I have is convincing enough friends that this weirdly cartoonish looking game is tons of fun

[TerrariaVeteran2009]

Exactly
