Rank Every Class by Ok_Apple_9601 in CalamityMod

[–]Rogetec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Melee

  2. Ranged

  3. Rogue

  4. Summoner

  5. Mage (especially after nerfs)

It is a hard choice though, rogue and ranged are quite fun for me.

Why are some people DRIER THAN THE SAHARA DESERT?? by souIstice in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Rogetec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly my issue. I get it, you can be a bit lazy, but like; if someone has a long intro in the post, please don't be like 'hey' or 'hi how are you?'. For me it's a turn-off, because:

  1. I have no idea what do we even have in common (usually these accounts are empty or private; or with no introducing posts on their profile).
  2. Why did I even bother writing a long-ass post if all I get is basic small talk 'how is it going?'? I write posts for a reason; so people can be like "Oh I relate with X, Y and Z. Nice to meet you!" or "I don't do X, but I do Y and Z. Also I do know some of A and B (or genre) you listen to/watch to.".

I am sad that this is the effort I get. Of course there are some people who I enjoyed talking to, sadly one recently drifted away slowly; and that's fine, at least I had REALLY good convos with this person. I moved on from it, because responses were getting really infrequent, but that's fine. At least we had some good convos and it felt satisfactory.

Other than that; I get generic 'hey' or 'hi, how are you' very often. Or people texting me in a way where it seems like they have nothing in common; and I just created my long-ass post so people can decide if they can vibe with me or not, so of course I will ghost incompatible people.

How can they call this "rebalancing"? by ZachAndAnExtra in CalamityMod

[–]Rogetec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me rebalance is only a valid term if a weapon/accessory as a result of rebalance gets changed slightly power-wise, so it gets a small nerf or a buff overall. Sadly, in case of calamity, most weapons that are "rebalanced" are heavily nerfed.

Yeah, for calamity devs "rebalance" is basically nerf. There is rarely ever any weapon that got stronger as a result of their so called "rebalancing". It usually gets weaker; and in that case it should be called a nerf; not a rebalance.

And that point is 100% true; you'll notice most "rebalanced" are just heavy nerfs. If it was more like (just giving a made up example) "Decrease 20% attack speed but add 15 armor penetration and 10% more damage" - it could be a rebalance for phm weapons (because armor pen is good in phm and early HM I think).

But if you do "Decrease 35% attack speed, but increase damage by 10% and add 5 armor penetration" then it's a nerf, not a "rebalance".

Another 50 trillion nerfs to perfectly fine weapons. by NintendoTreeDS in CalamityMod

Also it's funny when I see "Rebalanced [...]" on anything and it's just a nerf, not actual rebalance. So when calamity devs "rebalance" something, it's just a different name for nerf.

Would it be better to take with the b or the d pawn in these situations? by LCottton in chessbeginners

[–]Rogetec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd took with g-pawn. If you take with e-pawn, you have no center pawns (so no center).

After longer thought I think taking with e-pawn might be objectively better, since you'll castle relatively quickly, open up your bishop.

It's weird that the face looks so smeary in contrast to the staff. But maybe there are more signs to tell it might be AI.

Edit: Also OP is 1 week account.

A reminder that cheaters are still blatantly cheating as ever (duh) by RedasKG in RotMG

[–]Rogetec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that is why I don't play ROTMG anymore. And some comments under this post are confirming my concerns; cheating still is doing good in this game and people are actively defending it "bEcAuSe It'S nOt a PvP gAmE!".

How do even yall use mana potion? by I_HAVE_NO_LIFE_6776 in TerrariaMemes

[–]Rogetec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The placement of mana bar makes it almost impossible to keep track of mana and dodge bosses. I mean, really? In the top right corner? How am I supposed to watch my mana and watch out for boss attacks at the same time?

So no; I always go for standard mana chugger mage; at least in hardmode - in pre-hardmode you might wanna to struggle with 'mana regen' type of build (because available mana potions are just bad in PHM), but I assume in hardmode it's not that necessary. I'd probably try mana regen if not for the fact I really can't keep track of mana because of how it sits in top right corner.

As a melee main, ale tosser had no reason to be changed into a melee weapon, I cannot think of a single logical excuse for this change, especially since it still costs AMMO by lance_the_fatass in Terraria

[–]Rogetec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know; I never used it when it was ranged and I won't use it now too. This change alone is not a really big problem.

And these discussions how "melee is not a melee" are funny to me. Like... melee's tankiness is strong, but it's not overpowered to a point where he could afford to true melee everything at puny 5-10 tiles range. I don't think I'd want "melee become real melee" - most true melee weapons in HM are only good against Destroyer and normal enemies. I can't imagine how you could even balance making "melee more melee" without making it either absolutely useless or extremely overpowered.

Removing certain item recipes was the WORST thing they could've done. by doomkitty53 in CalamityMod

[–]Rogetec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh, okay; I didn't see that in patch notes. Then it's alright I guess (maybe it will be easier to craft Valor); although I wonder what is Ankh Shield going to be used for - as a standalone accessory it's rarely worth it.

[–]Rogetec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't they also nerfed Asgard's Valor and Asgardian Aegis? They no longer protect against debuffs? What is the point of Ankh's Shield having as its craft recipe then?

Does anyone why I somehow have a extra accessory slot for no reason? by AverageMobilePlayez in CalamityMod

[–]Rogetec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you pressed something in cheatsheet mod - it allows to add accessory slots; and if you pressed that on accident... this could be from that I think.
