what went so, so wrong?

>>715624971 (OP)
You know those youtube/reddit comments where a guy makes a mildly clever joke and then below it there's a massive string of edits?
EDIT: Wow, 10 updoots! That's the most updoots I've gotten on a comment!
EDIT2: 69 updoots. Nice.
EDIT3: 100 updoots, I can't believe it! Thank ya'll!
EDIT4: Okay, I don't know what's going down in the comments, but ya'll need to chill! Also thanks for 200 updoots!

EDIT 47: We're opening the relationship, trying new things. Don't be a bigot.
...

EDIT 83: She got the custody of all our furbabies and my WIIU, but at least I got to keep the switch.

That up there is basically Terraria's development process. Redditgit accidentally got one massive success and now he keeps tinkering with it because this is the only good thing he's ever made or will make and he can't let go of it.

Nothing at all. One of the goats of all time Vidya.

The only bad additions were torch luck (removed), and yoyos. And yoyos are still fun weapons mechanically, they're just an odd inclusion.

>>715624971 (OP)
Terraria was never, ever good. It's just a 2d Minecraft ripoff with so much overwhelming content bloat that you spend 3x as much scrolling through wikis than you do playing the actual game.

>>715626992
You microshit shills are so fucking pathetic and insecure

>>715627095

MC dropped off after notch jewed out and sold it, it's not any better nowadays lol

>>715626992
I guarantee you're a vanilla nigger, probably a bedrocuck, who started playing within the last 5 years. Nobody who played MC in alpha tries to instigate this shit with Terraria. They're both phenomenal games and don't occupy even remotely the same niche.

>>715627173

I have never seen good Terraria criticism on /v/. It's all filtered retards. Especially claims of it being a "wiki game"

>>715627539
That's because it's ragebait. It works because nobody really hates the game. It's the 11th best selling Vidya game of all time

I have beaten terraria 3 times and and never even interacted with the shimmer. Now that I know that I could have improved my fishing by 1% through a niche optional mechanic, I'm deciding that I retroactively had no fun at all during any of my playthroughs and will be requesting a refund.

I accept your concessions.

>>715628964

You should design games, I'm sure everyone would play it

>>715629276
>rewards for thoroughly exploring mechanics is bad
Not a thorough exploration, an inconsistent mechanic, autist-kun.
>every single miniscule buff for my random item minigame needs to be immediately and apparently available
You're not very clever, you lack the cognitive capacity to comprehend design consistency.
>You should design games, I'm sure everyone would play it
Yes. I'm extremely good at game design and there are numerous indie games that have implemented my well thought out feedback. Unfortunately we don't live in fantasy land where people get to do what they're good at. I don't have the desire to be a one-man devteam coding and drawing and making music and shit, and I don't have any desire to hire developers for a studio.

>>715629512
I must admit that these chrischan level delusions are pretty entertaining, anon

>>715629729
>no argument
I accept your second concession.

the game needed more world exploration to continue into hardmode but they're seemingly unwilling to drastically alter it so the majority of the game is just a boss rush with increasing amounts of redundant and unfinished content being added every two years
they made infinite money already and lost the desire to do any new game development

>>715624971 (OP)
Why do they keep updating this fucking game

>>715631443
why not

>>715624971 (OP)

>>715631443
they basically gave up now

the promised minor update they've been jerking each other over on their media is like 2 years past the initially declared date

i'm sure they'll release another publicity stunt about a new robot dinosaur mount that their kid has requested and they did a competition with his wife over in the next 6 months.

The only good thing to come out of it was journey mode which is a poor man's creative mode.

>>715636942
meteor nerf and reavr nerf was good
shadow orbs should be post-eoc
hellstone should be post-skeletron

>>715637282
Why was meteor nerf good when it was barely a sidegrade to jungle armor?

>>715637492
jungle armor is supposed to be the upgrade. biomes are too easy and expert broke the progression further by buffing bosses to high heaven.

>>715624971 (OP)
>bloatrraria

>>715636942
at least they've fixed most summons' global immunity frames, after how many years?

Content bloat with no clear direction, and Regidit's anti-fun policy.
Hardmode was never good. Pre-hardmode can be a great experience exploring the world, working your way up loot, and discovering what little quirks your world has. After you defeat WoF, the world gets infested with enemies that can instakill you and the gameplay loop is reduced to a boss rush and farming.
Expert mode was peak terraria, and then Master mode was just pure bloat.
Every update Red's been adding since 1.2 has been nothing but pure bloat.

I also hate EoL simply because terraria doesn't work as a bullet hell, and it should've never been one.

>>715634037
ill forgive them if they make it a 64 bit multithreaded game as a result of this

>>715640641
the reaver shark nerf, meteorite nerf, so on and so forth changes were really regressive imo and kille both the replay value and luster of the reward from engagement with the various means available to approach the game, both from a progression based combat gameplay approach and as a comfy building sandbox. i feel like the only tolerable one amongst the changes was the crate split. though im one of those apparently rare kind of players who quite liked the initial implementation of torch luck

>>715642072
>muh sandbox
It's not a sandbox, though. Each stage of the game has a set goal that leads you towards a final boss where credits roll, and the devs actually put thought into game progression beyond shitting assets onto a plate and telling the player "Here, play with it retard."

AlsIop game

>>715641809
I will stand by the idea that terraria is about progression and bosses first with everything else coming second. So many design decisions seem odd if you look at the game from a sandbox perspective ignoring the various nerfs they did.

>minecraft's equivalent of redstone is locked behind skeletron, you don't even have access to everything you can do with wires until you beat a mechanical boss

Comparatively, the only thing I can think of that's locked behind bosses in minecraft is items exclusive to the outer end islands and beacons.

No it doesn’t. It did for like a week and for some reason you retards are still mindbroke over it. It’s only a benefit now. Also just do the torch god event for free luck everywhere.

No it doesn’t. The prices in a biome they hate with people they hate are the same pre update. Again it’s only a benefit if you play into it

I’m beginning to think you never actually have played the game and you just parrot shit you see microshills spout

Not enough to make the game not easy regardless of build

How does that ruin anything?
I really don't understand, Terraria isn't a hard game and it was always about content, things to do, items to collect. I don't know how adding more shit to a game that's all about having shit to do is a bad thing.

It’s a microshit shill. They literally have the same exact script every single time. They have never played the game and have just been picking up what people complain about and run with a few specific things.
If anyone complains about torch luck or NPC housing then they have never played the game because anyone who does would know that shit was removed a while ago.
Notice how they will NEVER reply to posts pointing that fact out >>715645331

being rewarded for doing something = being punished for not doing it. You still have less luck if you don't want to go along with the dev's touch autism. Torch god helps but it still makes your torches look ugly.

>>715631443
Spinoff plans collapsed massively and there was never really any proper idea for a sequel, so they just keep shoving all their recycled ideas into their only game anyone will ever care about.

>>715645331
>It did for like a week and for some reason you retards are still mindbroke over it.
Torch luck, the happiness and pylon systems were all clear signs that Red et al were completely out of touch with how the overwhelming majority of people had been playing their game for the better part of a decade and were not afraid to impose how THEY felt you should be playing it. Panic undoing torch luck because of the extreme blowback couldn't undo the permanent damage; any update from that point forward risked ruining the game because they were too shortsighted to fully pivot to Terraria 2 after 1.3 instead of continuing to update an already overripe game.

>>715624971 (OP)
devs did an Oxygen Not Included and only kept adding extremely late-game content that caters to the sweaties.

>>715627539
its a very good game but it has spiraled a little to far out, not in a way that ruins what already existed, but what was made is just kind of mediocre.
The original base game was solid, the three bosses, the dungeon, all great, a little sparse, but all great.
then with hard mode ad the additions there, it was a good level of increase, needed some cleaning up to smooth it out (which it got) and has been great, the jungle stuff with planetera and the temple with the golem are pretty cool and served as a nice final bit of the game alongisde lots of the raid events and it felt like a good open ended post game.

then the lunatic cultist and moonlord stuff and it was kind of like not great...
