I don't like how most of the potions in the game are mere number multipliers as they don't add much in interactivity, make the game more grindy, and occupy many inventory slots. One big thing that changed in how I played in Expert in comparison to how I've been playing in Master is that I've been stacking potions and buffs to every boss fight. Leviathan here sums it all up eloquently.Ĭlick to expand.
It's okay for people to disagree, as long as they are respectful to others). (If you are reading this and you think differently, relax, I'm not attacking you.
It's surely hard (as might have been intended), but again, not really fun. Right now, it's just dodging normal mobs in fear of getting one(or two)-hit-killed, with little scope for unorthodox and ingenious gameplay tactics. If you go from Normal mode to Expert mode, you immediately feel those changes, but going to Master Mode, it feels exactly like an "Expert mode on steroids". And that is where an improved AI comes in. What makes something both hard and fun at the same time is unpredictability, surprises and stuff that encourages intelligent gameplay tactics. Master Mode, as it currently stands now, feels just like writing a long answer that you had memorized. You can make an exam hard by either putting in questions that require one to memorize a lot of stuff by rote learning and then write out long answers, OR you can put questions that need people to think innovatively and answer intelligently. What I wish to say is that it could have been done in a different (and in my opinion, better) way.Ĭonsider this. If that's how the Devs intended it to be, it very well is. What this entails to is making the game more like a dull slog, a test of patience and stubbornness, and only serves to make fights longer and more grindy, instead of making them more engaging by challenging you to use new and improved tactics. Enemies have been given "flat stat increases" and that's it. Master Mode is supposed to be difficult, and it is indeed difficult, but not in a proper way. (If someone is out of the loop, this thread is about the argument that's been going on the Official Terraria Discord about Master Mode.) What follows is a bit of constructive criticism about what I felt about Master Mode, and if you are one who does not like criticisms of any kind, I urge you to stop reading my comment right now.

Also, I think it is mandatory that I should mention (before people say that I am "ungrateful") that the 1.4 update has been absolutely amazing, and I love almost all aspects of it.

Re-logic are absolutely free to design their game as they please.
Whatever be their decision, it's absolutely theirs and I admit that I have no right to dictate what they do, and I WON'T be doing that. There is no way I am going to pick up Master Mode anytime soon.įirst of all, let me be absolutely clear that I am not "complaining" (as some people in the Discord channel thought) to the Developers that they should change how Master Mode is and how it works. While I am not fully confident this thread will not fall into the same chaos and madness as it does over Discord, I hope my insight will help keep this thread from falling over.Īs for my opinion of Master Mode: I don't have really much of one except that it looks really unfun to me. Master Mode has been a touchy subject on the Discord server and from my experience it is very difficult to hold a reasonable discussion over it here. This becomes especially apparent when people start repeating arguments or points, as they feel the need to try and drum it into the opposition as opposed to trying to debunk their points. The moment either side fails to do so and begins shouting down their opponent is when a debate begins to spiral out of control. In order for a debate to progress at all both sides need to make an effort to understand each others position and understand why they hold these opinions. Before people start debating about master mode, I'm going to leave this here:
