Maybe the problem is that people have to exploit the game to kill your boss, because it's not fun to fight. The moon lord is kind of a poo poo boss especially if you're a melee character and the cool factor wears out quick because it has such a ridiculous amount of health. His attack patterns are way too complicated for a game like Terraria. The combat is horrible and has like no depth to it.

I'm no game dev so I'm bewildered too by this. First they started nerfing Developer yoyos which I didn't get since I thought the point of getting those was to be able to effortlessly tear through any enemies that you might encounter. At least they're not nerfing the weapons you get from killing the Moon Lord.

dis astranagant posted:Instead it introduces and immediately abandons a throwing class, when they nerfed the poo poo out of all the good throwing weapons going into 1.3 I'm not going to say there's more than one good throwing weapon, or that it's not a huge pain in the rear end to get, and obviously I geared very specifically for melee damage, but throwing is pretty legit.  Now, would I use any other throwing weapon? Hell no. Maybe that possessed hatchet, I haven't tried yet. Luckily, throwing is the same as melee, so I get use all manner of fun weapons. Also, I keep that Clockwork rifle loaded with Ichor bullets so I can debuff my targets, though I should really just start making flasks more regularly. Also-also, switching to the beetle armor for damage is pretty awesome. The beetle armor that adds a single hit of 45% damage reduction is stupid as hell. LightningSquid posted:Anyone have any advice on killing Expert Plantera? I've got a decent arena and Chlorophyte armor but I can only get him to the second phase before he eats me alive. It sucks. Clear out a huge area in the jungle to fight in, and if you can, stack movement modifiers. I failed on my attempt to use a flooded arena with a moonshell, but that was going well until I left it. My third attempt I just got lucky as hell that I kept focus on dodging and whittled him down. Tempora Mutantur fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Jul 21, 2015 |

Throwing would be kind of cool if it played by Final Fantasy rules and you could throw any melee weapon. Maybe make it so equipping a certain accessory turns the attack option into throw. Then have fun throwing meowmere at everything.

So uh, I'm really new to this and seem stuck. I built myself a nice little boomtown, and decked myself out in iron armour and weapons, picked up some slight buffs here and there, but I can't seem to venture far without getting killed  Slimes and vultures now desintegrate before my mighty hammer, but antlion beasts just deck me with sewing machine speed before I can heal or hurt them, and forget about trying to stop a swarm of eater-of-souls. I've already restarted on three worlds, and am not keen to build all that poo poo again. There must be some early game strategy that I'm aware of?

There's a specific throwing weapon type for all those javelins, shurikens, bones, grenades, and molotovs out there. Fossil armor from the antlion desert gives you +20% throwing damage/projectile speed and a 50% chance not to use thrown items. The ninja armor from the slime king does the same thing with less chance to not consume ammo.

Melee is pretty risky at the start, I'd recommend scoring a bow and some arrows. Don't go across the world too far, find a cave and start spelunking, you'll probably run into some chests which hopefully will have something useful.

Your image doesn't seem to have anything to do with your statement. The Possessed Hatchet is also a melee weapon. Throwing is its own damage type now, but it's only good pre-hardmode, because the only armor that does anything to it tops out at 12 defense. And the bonus it gave was explicitly nerfed just prior to release.

AND most of the good throwing weapons were nerfed before release. The best one, molotov cocktail, is now a total bitch to craft, does half damage and has a third more delay between throws.

As a stubborn idiot who likes to at least do something resembling the normal progression I do still love it when there is the option to just go "gently caress it, PRO SHORTCUTS". That said I really wish there wasn't that overall sense of "LOL you loving moron if you don't use something capable of shooting, even if it's a melee weapon". Yay I built a lightsabre out of metors!... now now to never, ever use it because holy gently caress I actually took a stab at the Eye of Chtuulu and Eater of worlds with it, even with the AHK mouse spam script. gently caress this, space gun/looted musket/shuiriken/Silver staff/literally anything else but melee time. I wasn't even in any danger since, you know. Meteor armor vs Eye and Eater. but god drat it felt like a million times more of a slog.

Just gotta pay the RNG game, and yeah you have better luck finding useful things in non-wood chests. If you can get to a tundra that'd be a good place to start looking. Ice slimes aren't any more threatening than normal ones and the loot is usually better there.

Every other moonlord fight has involved an event kicking off. Blood moons, slime rains, solar eclipses and a single goblin invasion. No martian madness yet, but I doubt I'll fight moonlord again now I got all his drops. Kinda funny when I jump down off my platform and the Stardust Dragon has created a carpet of coins and items for me.Dareon posted:I think two accessories would make things much better just for quality of life: A Boomerang Glove that makes every melee weapon hurled, and an Autoswing Glove.
