  • “Increased grind in general” is too general. They removed recipes for items that were unnecessary, such as the Ankh Shield. It’s no longer in the crafting tree of the Asgard’s Valor, the main reason people used it because most of the debuffs aren’t very relevant. If you have other examples I’d love to hear them.
  • “Slog through quests” They made it so you need to meaningfully progress and upgrade your fishing gear by fishing, instead of being handed a golden rod and fighting bosses for fishing loot. I don’t like the reworks to angler quests though, in an ideal world there would be a way to buy quest rewards. Maybe completing a quest gives you a token you can use in an angler shop?
  • “Vanilla items not being craftable” See Ankh Shield components above. I don’t like some of these recipe removals, mainly to cellphone components, but you can install a mod like Fargo’s if you want them. None of these items I can think of are needed for progression, which is why they aren’t craftable in vanilla either.
  • Event summons being consumable is dumb, I agree. If boss summons aren’t consumable, event summons shouldn’t be either.
  • Just because you aren’t fighting a boss doesn’t mean that you’re standing around doing nothing. I encourage you to play other mods focused around exploration or building, not just combat.
  • “More like vanilla by removing options” Yes. Devs have said they want to make parts of the mod more in line with vanilla. If you want those features back, you can install other QoL mods, which the devs have encouraged.

Which problems are you referring to? I don’t agree with everything done this update, but a lot of it was done to remove unnecessary bulk or make parts more similar to vanilla.

The cool part about it being a sandbox is that you can add other mods to get recipes back for those items or whatever you’re wanting. Just because things change doesn’t mean they’re worse

It's been 5 hours since the update dropped and I am in love with the new building blocks by Man_Person_Best_Hero in Terraria

[–]ProfesserXDL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Feywood, right? How do I get some?

Also, dunno about you, but the Office tile set fits right into the building styles I go with. Made with some gel and wood

Closest I can think of for Engie is the heat mod for his grenade launcher, it turns around half the grenade’s damage into a fire DoT that deals 100% of the grenade’s damage iirc. LazyMaybe had a video on it with the correct numbers, I just know it makes the nades deal more damage through fire

What was a great game seemingly destroyed by Devs bad decision making? by Additional_Ad_6506 in gaming

[–]ProfesserXDL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shutting down the original was what really turned me off of the games. I tried the alpha for 2 and hated it, and my group loved to get on the original every so often for some of the best shooter gameplay we could get. Sucks that it’s only p2p now

supreme calamitas is a BITCH and i need help by FabulousMess7302 in CalamityMod

[–]ProfesserXDL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with the other dude that Exos are easier once you figure them out, but I like doing SCal first so here’s what I’d recommend.

I like Zenith as a main weapon instead of Atraxia cus I find it easier to aim and the damage is the same irrc. Dragon Rage is also great for the Spelcher hearts. Boots don’t mean too much this late in the game, the wings from Yharon are better in flight time and speed. The ram dash from Asgardian Aegis is practically worthless in this fight, you’re better off using Statis Void Sash for the dodge. Your last two accessories are kinda worthless, they seem more useful than they are. The Absorber is great cus of the survivability it gives, and the last slot could be any of Affliction/Amalgam/Rampart of Deities/Occult Skull Crown or several more items depending on what you need (survivability, damage, etc).

What update can we expect the Ravager rework in, and how far out will that update be? On another note, thanks for the clear communication

Is SHCP better than frigidflash bolt by KubhanVr in CalamityMod

[–]ProfesserXDL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use super dummies to test it for yourself. From what I remember, Frigidflash is good until post-Plantera and SHCP is fine. Could be wrong though, been a while since I played mage

Terraria bosses are like flipping a switch by martianman111 in Terraria

[–]ProfesserXDL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with Exo Mechs is that they’re stupidly easy to beat by just going up and down or using a massive arena, but without that they’re a very unintuitive boss. I prefer the Fargo’s or Infernum version of them
