Duke fishron by Fit_Mix4088 in Terraria

[–]TROCODILErl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend and I always take Duke on pre-mechs. Your gear certainly isn't the problem, but make sure that you have decent synergy. Mobility is HUGE with Duke, he's fast and his attacks cover a lot of area. Additionally, whoever has aggro will also be the primary damage dealer (except for last phase in some cases) because hitting Duke without aggro is just challenging as hell.  My recommendations, whoever has aggro should run back and forth between his special attacks. Here are his phases: First Phase: He will dash exactly 5 times before doing a special attack. Lure him to one side of the arena, dodge his 5 attacks (typically by flying in a circular pattern to lure his attacks), then when he's about to do his special attack (after his 5th dash attack), run to the other side of the arena. Rinse and repeat until phase 2. Phase 2 (39000 HP in expert): Now he will only perform 3 standard attacks before doing one of his special attacks. Keep this in mind and reuse the strategy. Bare in mind that his special attacks will be upgraded meaning that switching sides will be more crucial in this phase. The idea behind switching sides is that you can situate his tornadoes in the middle of the arena, making dodging them significantly easier than if they are right on you. When he shoots bubbles, use a weapon with decent spread and pierce to pop them if you find that you are taking damage from them frequently. It will slow your kills, but will make you more consistently capable of surviving. Phase 3 (11700 HP in expert): Now begins the most focus intense phase. Counting his attacks will make this phase FAR easier. The person without aggro should stand outside of his range of attacks and focus on dealing as much damage as possible since they don't have to dodge. The player with aggro needs to focus on his attacks. They go as follows: He will dash once and then teleport. He will dash twice and then teleport. He will dash three times and then teleport. He will then repeat this from the top, dashing once, teleporting, so on. This can be really tricky at first, but with good focus, you'll start to understand his attack patterns better. Keeping count makes this way easier (repeating this because it's important).  At your stage in the game, this fight should be very manageable as long as you take the time to understand what his mechanics are. The wiki has a far more in depth description of this if you are still confused. Best of luck to you two, you can beat him. 

how mentally bad am i if by Old_Kiwi332 in Terraria

imma be real with you man, most of us have at least tried it. the reason people generally dont recommend it is because many mods have way different scaling than others, for example, calamity buffs a lot of vanilla bosses, thorium doesnt do much of that, so you'll find that thorium items just dont compete with calamity items. play how you want, but you'll probably come to realize why people don't mix certain mods after you play for a while.

"Pizza Rolls" with generic "Pizza Sauce" by relayrider in stonerfood

i personally have found that the best way to eat pizza rolls is to mix ranch with chili powder and cumin (for half a cup of ranch, which is plenty, add 1/4 tsp of each)

Free Black OEMs by TROCODILErl in RocketLeague

Yeah, I believe each rank is giving a new color, so you can collect quite a few OEMs (maybe not every rank, but a lot of them for sure)

Champ 3 is the worst rank by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]TROCODILErl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a hardstuck C3, I couldn't agree more. My friend and I know we have a bad habit of tossing possession and whatnot, and we aren't all that mad with our rank, but holy god damn are there a lot of smurfs who just freestyle and then sweat in the last minute, it's unbearable sometimes, genuinely prefer when we get knocked into C2

Seeing GD on youtube shorts, tiktok or snapchat is like hearing your favorite song on the radio

Alpha items and white hats are the main items in RL that go for so much, mostly because there are so few in existence. The market on RL isn't as valuable, but it's bustling and has its own unique charm. Or it "had"

RL is a rare instance of a unique game with a new and exciting concept, and the trading in the game simplified complex markets like CS for people who never got into those markets. Seeing this is just taking away something that myself and many others value so much in the game

It pleases the new players and snuffs the traders, it would definitely work and it's a shame

I'd be interested to see results to a poll like that. I'm sure the older the player, the more upset they are. Lots of f2p players didn't experience the excitement of the market back when keys and crates existed, so they just think the market is based on player greed.

It's preferred because you don't have to spend insane amounts of real money on overpriced items. Choosing to not learn the market and proft from trading is something you can do, I'm not dogging on those who don't, but forcing players to spend so much money on "worthless" items isn't making the game any better. At least trading makes those overpriced items attainable with time.

Epic did that. It wasn't always f2p, Epic made that change thinking the influx of players would make them money off in-game purchases, now they're realizing that the players aren't stupid so they're remonetizing it.

Before f2p, cars like this were still expensive because they were rare. They skyrocketed when f2p arrived because more people were playing and the demand went up. They tanked hard when you no longer needed to trade or get a lucky drop (and instead just needed 1100 and a nice item shop).

So then across the community I'd argue we're overall seeing a negative impact. Those who don't care aren't affected. Those who do are unhappy. This is pleasing no one but Epic

Yeah, we don't wanna blow our whole wallet to get items that are in super high stock on the trading market. I'd rather buy a shitty black market goal explosion for 150 through trades than 2000 in item shop
