President Ark posted:Basically having certain things at endgame be grossly overpowered and other things that aren't is only fine in purely singleplayer games that don't get content updates that add new endgames. In games with multiplayer or games with content patches they're a huge headache. I still can't believe how overpowered the Vampire Knives are. Even without Turtle Armor I can fully tank every single boss in Hardmode (not counting the Pumpkin Moon) without even coming close to using a healing potion. I fully expected another nerf to them in this update.

If the Plantera fight is too easy in your opinion when you kite him to the surface... don't kite him to the surface.

The latter I'll give you, because kiting Plantera to the surface has its own issues (how far away the bulb is for the surface, getting there without dying, etc.) and is a strategy for one boss.

I dunno, I'm rarely happy about nerfs but the Destroyer change doesn't bother me at all. I mean, come on, worm-type enemies have enough glaring weaknesses as it is, they don't also need to be vulnerable to getting Frostburn'd/Ichor'd to death in five seconds.

What's the best setup to farm hardmode drops? I'm trying to get the rod of discord, and i set up an artificial underground hallow but i've only seen one chaos elemental spawn and he didn't drop it.

Set up a mob grinder in an underground hollow or just search around I guess. I don't think there's an easy way to do it.

Okay, this is getting annoying. I've been spending far too much in underground crimson/hollow/snow and I must have killed over 3000 mobs by now. Is there an efficient method for getting one of those molds because it's not fun or challenging any more. Also: is there a trigger required before they start spawning? I've killed the twins, destroyer, prime, plantera and the golem. Do I need to go into the dungeon and kill some boss there first?

That should work, unless they patched it out.

They're 1/4000 drops, so other than "get lucky" or "build an artificial meteor biome with your preferred way of AFK-murdering Meteor Heads and not dying", there's really no advice to give.

I hope you people like poorly stitched together jpegs cuz boy I got em. I've had this game since it first came out on Steam and in all that time I never had the time or patience to play into hardmode until very recently. So I push through into hardmode and find I'm ill-prepared to deal with the blood moons and pirate invasions and it's the solar eclipse wiping out nearly everyone in my little town that forced me to buckle down and start plans for my sky castle.  Here's what remains of the town. It's been partially cannibalized for my sky castle, and I kind of like the idea of its ruins remaining as all that's left of what once was. I'm not a fan of the hyper efficient apartment blocks. I like to build a bit organically, so rooms are built on top or below or around and I want to make it so that as many people can wander around a shared space cuz I want that busy atmosphere. Unfortunately that also made it easy for hardmode monsters to eat the townsfolk, and quite a few of them died several times over before I finally finished my project. As you can see the hallow and corruption are encroaching on both sides. That makes teleporting down there an adventure. Unlike the town, the castle was going to be pre-planned. When I was just about done with all the rooms, I finally realized that instead of a sky castle, I should make a loving flying saucer.  If there are many more NPCs I'll probably have to think of something. Or just shove them into the side rooms. The worst part was keeping the curving arches symmetrical. I'm sure they still aren't, but close enough.

So I finally got back into this after playing it over a year ago. I think I'm ready for hard mode, but the wall of flesh kicks the poo poo out of me. Do I really need to make a 400 mile strip of land to beat it? I read the bee gun tears it apart, but I spammed the bee gun and it did almost no damage and I ran out of mana. Is there a set bonus to use with the bee gun that makes it last longer/do more damage? Is there a better weapon choice? I've got basically every pre-hardmode weapon or the mats to make them (except the rare drop spells, I don't have any of those).

Make some Obsidian Skin or Water-walking potions(Or Water-walking boots/Lava waders) so you don't need to build a path. As for weapons, most ranged options work. Do you have enough money for the Minishark? If not, try the Space gun with full Meteor armor.

If the bee boss dropped any Bee Grenades, those are meant to be pretty good. I think last time I beat WoF pre-hardmode it was by using the Phoenix Blaster with meteorite bullets and the bone + cobweb set. Thorn Chakram might work if you have +melee damage. I'm not too familiar with early game magic, but if you can get a Natures Gift from the jungle and/or that regen ring + shackle item then you should be able to use something like water bolt or aqua scepter without mana problems. If all else fails you could try getting a Minishark and making it into a star cannon, but you'ld have to farm ammo for it. Don't forget to make some buff potions, whatever route you choose In other news, the changelog has a few more tinker recipes on it now: Sparkfrost Boots are now craftable at the Tinkerer’s Workshop Jellyfish Diving Gear is now craftable at the Tinkerer’s Workshop Arctic Diving Gear is now craftable at the Tinkerer’s Workshop Fart in a Balloon is now craftable at the Tinkerer’s Workshop Papyrus Scarab is now craftable at the Tinkerer’s Workshop Celestial Stone is now craftable at the Tinkerer’s Workshop

Sweet, Papyrus Scarab is probably Hercules beetle + Necromantic scroll. Sparkfrost boots = Lightning boots + Ice skates? Jellyfish diving gear = Jellyfish necklace + Diving gear. Arctic diving gear = Jellyfish necklace + Ice skates? Fart in a balloon is obvious. Celestial stone = Sun stone + Moon stone probably.

The whole patch notes thing was making me wonder if red would have the time to have the patch out before the Halloween event ended until I looked it up on the wiki. Event ends Nov. 10th and I don't know to be relieved that I have longer than today and tonight to get the cat pet and the Ninja Turtle costume, or to be horrified that I might spend the next eleven days trying to get those, the bat hook, and the last painting. I am lukewarm at best about the sort of random drop crap MMOs do that Red decided to use for getting most of the cool poo poo in 1.2, but the goodie bag thing is really starting to get on my nerves. This last week I've spent an hour each night in the dungeon (I think it has the highest spawn rate in the game) killing poo poo until I get sick of it for maybe a dozen or two bags, a third of which are dedicated to loving rotten eggs, two thirds being poo poo I already have and maybe one or two costumes or paintings I didn't already have. It feels like keeping all the cool poo poo in the Halloween patch either behind two layers of RNG or behind a whole combat thing that you need to change up your equipment entirely in order to solo productively is the worst possible way to get people to experience it. Maybe I've just been playing too much. Akett fucked around with this message at 10:09 on Oct 31, 2013 |

Duping anything is easy as poo poo and doesn't even require a save editor, as long as you have a multiplayer server at your disposal.

I guess with Plantera you could just dig out a big cavern round the bulb. You don't need that big a space to avoid it. Although I guess it's supposed to be more manoeuvrable underground?

So the patch is out and yes, Plantera basically goes into a post-dawn Skeletron/Prime frenzy if removed from the Underground Jungle in the slightest, and the Rod of Discord does 100 loving damage if you use it within the 10s CD.

I really, really do not regret flagging it as dead and giving myself its loot in TEdit now. Of course, some people are just going to take this as a challenge. How soon do you think we'll see the first Frenzied Plantera kill go up?
