TORCHGATE - #3

I just refunded my copy of Terraria over this shit. Why should placing a "wrong" torch affect my "luck" in terraria?

>buy game 9 years late>pretend to care about some stupid shit after playing the game less than 2 hours

Besides decorations, who uses torches when you have floating lightbulbs?

why do people care about this?

>>508954606Because we don't want to suffer the consequences of a single developers advanced autism.

>>508953536>change game to trigger normies who don't care where they place torchesabsolutely based

>>508954606being forced to play a "creative" game in a certain way is the worst attitude for a developer to have, especially when they say its the FINAL update

>>508954915nobody forces you to use torches you rabbit fucker. it's the damn starting tier light thing. everyone ditches it the second they can and only use it as decorations in their homes

>>508955659I use torches religiously to mark where I have been

As someone who has never played this game (but has played Minecraft), could someone please explain this situation to me? I've seen it mentioned a few times now.

>>508953026>>508953536Aight whats the deal now? Can't use torches for housing or what?

>>508953536Why autistic people are human rights?

>>508956116Regular Torches have an effective negative 20% impact in your drops. Bootlicker's will day "muh 42 tiles" but won't be able to retort when you explain to them pretty much everyone used torches religiously since provide light, and you would want to see what you're doing.

>>508956094>autistic dev creates hidden mechanics which affect drop rates in grindy games>it's fucking torches>put wrong type of torch down in certain biomes and it affects this mechanicIt affects ever so slightly, but it's rather autistic move to even introduce said mechanic. It's also really badly implemented and the dev is shithead about it. Basically.

>>508955659Wrong.

>>508956116Using regular torches now decreases drop rates by 5% if you place them in a desert, corruption/crimson, or hallow biome, or by 10% if you use them in a snow biome.So i.e. if you're farminf souls witha a 20% drop rate, they now only have a 19% drop rate.This was implemented because one of the devs is super autistic about using the "right torches" for every biome.If you do however use the biome specific torches, you actually get increased drop rates, which can further be raised by other items and potions, up to a point of doubling your drop rate, though of course everyone likes to ignore that part of the mechanic.This is all referred to as the luck buff.

>>508956529The biome torches are ugly, so why would the do this if they can't even make the other torches look good?

>>508956529>though of course everyone likes to ignore that part of the mechanic.Because the negative part is so obviously bizarre and strange.

>>508956474>>508956529Damn that sounds dumb. I didn't even know there were other legitimate light sources to use when exploring. I just thought they were all for making your house more pretty.

>>508953536This is so retarded, why not just make that wrong torches give very litte light in biomes?

>>508956485>>508956529Wow, what an obviously horrible mechanic. Why did they feel the need to add this to a beloved game nine years later?

>20%My sides, more like 0'4%.

>>508956762>>508956831The negatives are dumb, and so is the reasoning, but once you know about it,(this is also a point of contemption, the game doesn't tell you about this mechanic)you can easily work around it and use it to your benefit.

ALright that's prety based. I might have to think about picking this game up now. FUcking retarded normalfags>NOOOOOO MY BASIC BITCH TORCHES>WHY AM I FORCED TO USE THEMED TORCHES

So is this game good now or something?

>>508957210Some user already made a mod to remove the torch thing.

Attached: 00034052.jpg (500x547, 86.49K)

If putting torches wrong leaves the drop rates as they normally were pre 1.4, there would be no problem.

>>508957362Hi redgit

>>508957362>have tons of ice and snow>have tons of torches>people preffer trowing the ice and snow instead of making biome torches

>>508956831You seem to believe autistic people think rationally. They're simply screeching idiots who flail and lash out until things are 100% perfect for their trigger conditions to subside.

>>508957362>pretends to not be bootlicker

>>508957210It's not about being exploitative or hard to avoid. This whole debacle is because it's obnoxious mechanic, introduced by an autistic asshat who's hellbent on forcing players to play and create "nice things" in his lego simulator. Another case is neighbor system, that's stupid as fuck as well, same deal.

>>508957502No he didn't.The modloader hasn't even updated yet.I've only seen some guy ramble about how he would like the luck removal mod to only remove the bad luck.

>>508957472It was never that good. It is great way to kill time if you play friends. But you have to be autistic to play it alone.

>>508953536Why punish for using wrong torches and not just reward for using the right ones?

>>508953026>Refunded Terrarianormalfag

>>508957784Well I guess I'm not installing it then, I don't have anyone to play it with.

>>508953536Is this why it's recalculated per frame, rather than on an event basis (Placing a torch, death of an NPC, death of a ladybug(???))?Such terrible coding standard.

>>508957782>he hasn't been on /vg/Never used modloader.

>>508956831Because for some stupid reason they felt like everything was too easy, when in reality people came up with all these ways to cheese the game was because it was already stupidly grindy, the biome keys are already a 1/2500 drop, there's a metric ton of crap already in the game and they added over 1000 new items so chest storage is an even worse nightmare, Master Mode is a headache, and Tmod won't be ready for maybe another month, so grind mitigation isn't really an option.Worse Cenx was ACTIVELY modifying the game when the prerelease streamers were finding nice ways to advance pass the bullshit.AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE CORRUPTION SPAWNING IN THE JUNGLE/SNOW BIOMES OR EVEN LESS THAN 100 BLOCKS FROM SPAWN

>>508953026If torches were like this from the start you all would've eaten it up and then complained if they ever changed it to a single torch calling it a casual oversimplification.

>slightly less drop rate and damage when not using the right torches in a biomewho fucking caresliterally the only time that would matter would be when fighting bosses, which you would likely be setting up an arena for anyway with min/max blocks

>>508953026No you fucking didn't you lying faggot.

>>508958059And your point is...

>>508957929I only picked it up since I haven't played anything with few friends of mine, and they wanted to try terraria. I am not sure why I played it so much with the other friends back in the day, and I even quit few years ago pretty fast when trying to play with yet another friends.Well, I only paid like 2€ for the game.

fuck this autistic asshole so much holy shit, i was so excited for 1.4 then i play it and im barely encountering anything new then i beat wof and the stripe of corruption that spawned wiped out SEVEN of my fucking npc houses because i can't have a comfy commieblock anymore and then i find out the torches i've been plastering everywhere have raped my luck stat, and the only place i used biome-specific torches was at my home base because i wanted it to look fancy but no now i'm getting penalized for sprucing the one place i care about up and penalized for being efficient everywhere else by using the torches with the neutral lighting, hope this faggot diarrheas in his pants

>Be Red>Make decision for your own game>Idiots throw a shitfit about itI don't mind the mechanic at all. At least I have respect for Red. It's pretty entitled to act like this is some kind of huge insult.

>>508957696I'd say it's more trying to push people into the way he wants them to play and or build, rather than straight up forcing it.Since these mechanics don't restrict anything pre existing, they just make these old methods less effective, you can still use them if you want.I do kinda like the neighbour mechanic, since it actually got me to try building something nice for once, and it feels good to return to a base that isn't just a big block of wood.

>>508957951Ok, you got me there.Haven't been there, atleast not for Terraria.

Now I have a strange urge to play CataclysmDDA.

Devil's advocate here, does this new mechanic sound ok if>oversaturated torch glow toned down>torches have separate inventory slots (like ammo & coins)>shift shortcut picks the torch appropriate for each biomeor just make an optional mechanic toggle/ok with a mod just removing it outright

>>508953026>TORCHGATEIf it's this easy to piss off retards then the devs must be basedIt's not even a cubeworld-tier change you fucking tourist. Go back to where you belong.

>>508958638dilate

>>508958780Nah, the morons in this thread are reactionaries who hate change. The sort of bigoted rhetoric you see here is common all throughout 4chan. You won't get reasonable replies.

>>508958725>randomly attacks people for not liking somethingAre you okay?

>>508958232> comfy> commieblock

>>508958725I thought my summary of the mechanic is decently informative.

>>508956772they're retards, if you put normal torches in a forest biome it doesn't do shit to you and vice versa. It's only if you put a torch in, say, an ice biome or desert biomeRetards are just seething because the dev is autistic about torch placement, and blow it put of proportion that they equate it to Cubeworld's launch

>>508958870When there are 3 threads up about it and I post once in each thread.... Are you saying that's not allowed?You've clearly been posting in all the threads too then if you're noticing. Sounds to me like the pot calling the kettle black.

>>508958956>bigoted rhetoricReal people don't speak like this.

>>508958956~30 words in that reply, and nothing was said. Congrats

>>508958232I thought houses had protection against corruption?

>>508956474>torches have a 20% impact inBut thats wrong you fucking ape, torches have a 5% impact. 20% is only achievable with the absolute worst luck you can get in the game which requires using a normal torch in the tundra after massacring all your NPCs and stepping on a ladybug

>>508959264Beats me. :)

>>508959268He's too much of a Chad to let whiny manchildren affect his views on his game

>>508959252What cope? Do you know what that word means?

>>508959531Yes, but you don't.

>>508959618*laughs in 200k players and millions of copies sold*

>>508958059AbsolutelyBut this is a mechanic added to a 9 year old game, that affects the most basic action in the game. And was added, not with intention of game improvement, but because the dev had a peculiar attack of autismAt least the Happiness mechanic makes you do more houses, instead of usual commieblocks, that's kinda fun...but this is retarded

>>508959627>>I am very smartWho are you quoting?

So i could just pick up ice and make ice torches to replace the regular ones to fix my luck, right?

>>508953026The closest torch to you is the only one that matters. Get to where you want to farm, slap down one proper torch near you and it IMPROVES your luck. The only people who really give a shit are minmaxing faggots.

>>508959891You need to be 18 to post here.

>>508959861Because he's an idiot and didn't expect people to blindly believe everything they're told about the system. People unironically believe that it checks the whole map and having even a single torch out of place on the entire map halves your drop rate because some shitposter said so

You have to be extremely autistic to play on anything other than Journey Mode.

>>508960121I just hope no one plays this alone.

To the retard in the last thread who said adding 55% and 15% equals 63.3% (i know you're here faggot). Ahem, kill yourself.

>>508960476how are you even supposed to start getting gear?

>>508959054you shouldn't force people to use the other shitty torches by fucking up the drop rates you fucking faggot. especially when you need torches to see in the dark. nobody is gonna start crafting the ice torch and tiki torches outside of decoration. kill yourself boot licker

>>508960335People sperging out over basically nothing. If you place biome specific torches in the right biomes (snow, evil, desert, jungle) you get 50% more drops, if you use normal torches you get 20% less.It literally never matters since most loot comes in chests and most drops you farm for isn't in the affected biomes at all.

>>508958956Maybe don't use those terms if you don't know what they mean, fella. I know it makes you feel all smart and warm inside to use big words and call people hicks, but try not to let your inner idiot show next time for greater effect.People have made very good points about the torch system being poorly implemented, like it being a secret mechanic in game.You, coming in here and writing a post that says not only that everyone is wrong because they're "bigoted" but to actively avoid them and not tolerate them EVEN THOUGH they are making good points, is literally bigoted rhetoric.It's a statement made to persuade people to not tolerate people that you simply disagree with, which is the literal definition of "bigoted rhetoric." Take that shit and fuck off with it, you're a nonce.Btw you see how I laid out why you were wrong? That's the difference between criticism and bigotry, just fyi cause you don't understand the words.

>>508960684no the game literally steals your credit card and closes itself

>>508956529but.... why?

>>508960615adding 55% and 15% isn't "increasing x by y%" you fucking mongoloid.

>>508959983>you're not gonna fucking notice the effects anywayI hope so. I have been playing for 20 hours I think, and with the drops I've been getting, I would consider myself lucky.I'm still gonna use the torches I fucking want, but you can deny that the mechanic is stupid, none the less.

>>508960342Normal people use normal language.>>508960476False.>>508960541He's lying to you. The difference is like 5%. It's nothing. The lower the drop rate of something, the less it's affected. Something with a 2% drop rate goes down to 1.9%, and that's only while you're really close to the bad torch.

>>508960745For all I care it only affects 0,00001%, it is still wasted time for some autist to feel good.>>508960787Wrong. You literally said this yourself on the other thread.

>>508953026everyone look at that autist lmao

>>508960684you go in blind user, until you hit lava then you set yourself on fire to see

>>508958780Fuck no the mechanic is just trashThink of a better creative way to implement luck other than making it a fucking chore. Here's an idea:>New accessory called (whatever generic luck object you want it to be)>Gives 50% higher drop rates >If the player gets hit too many times during a certain period, reduce the drop rate by 100%And make it a drop/obtainable via something that is currently underused. I mean, I only did the Christmas event once, so maybe add that shit as a drop just to motivate people to do that event. Also, the negative effect makes it so that you might no want to hold the item the entire fucking timeIt's not a chore, it straight up explains what's happening to the player and it's technically not a free bonus since you lose an accesory slot and you might end up getting the effect lowered.Same with the happiness mechanic, that shit is absolutely fucking worthless because building a speedrun tier commieblock makes NPCs just as happy as making a grand mansion fully furnished.pic unrelated

>>508960495It's just supposed to be a subtle little punishment for disrespecting his autism, that's why the actual debuff is so miniscule.He did tell people when confronted about it to not worry too much about the min maxing and just have fun.

>>508956529I would understand if you're using torches that don't look good in a house, to encourage you to build proper light sources to decorate with.But being punished for using a light source that's not appropriate for certain underground biomes is a tad absurd.

>>508960909Normal people aren't SJWs.

>>508960975Yes. Anywhere else, the dungeon, hell, the sky, anywhere on the surface it doesn't fucking matter. Less than 20% of the map is affected at all, and the places that are affected drop the torches you need so you naturally end up having them there anyway.

It's such a shitty system to a game like Terraria, which already lags a ton with 2-3 people server, (server with high thread perf processor, mind you) if you just force lot of block updates.

Honestly the only thing that bothers me about it is the fact it's completely hidden. If the torches were brighter/dimmer based on whether or not they were the "right" or "wrong" torches would've been a more organic method of introducing this mechanic.

>>508963107Holy shit, a guy who has actually read the wiki article.

>>508963060I think that's not fair to their concerns. The precedent and tone behind the action is super fucking strange. Having housing restrictions is another one of these examples that feel "strange" in their implementation where you are punished for not playing a certain way.Both of these features should be something you can opt to do for a benefit, and not get shafted for not doing them.If I understand correctly, commieblocking npcs makes them charge you more, and they do not sell pylons correct?

>>508963107Yeah, i just usually leave out the torch scores and shit while explaining, since, let's be real,this is only about using regular torches everywhere you go, and that usually amounts to a 5% chance decrease in the end.

>>508963060I think the main thing that's unfair is the lack of communication about the hidden mechanic, especially in a game where most everything finally has ingame documentation. The most explanation you'll get is dialog from the wizard if your luck isn't zero when talking to him. I think luck is fine, but show SOMEWHERE how you can measure it.

>>508963389There's no "debate" to have. It's just idiots shitflinging who didn't even read the patch notes.

>>508963247Correct. And it isn't strange for the devs to put parameters on creative decisions. Requiring a floor, walls, light source, chair, 'door', and table for a space to be "livable" is in line with the devs following up and saying "NPCs have preferences. Ignore them entirely an get penalized. Meet them 1/2 way and get standard prices. Meet them fully and get lowered prices+pylon"That isn't unreasonable or strange.

>>508963582A enormous version of a light source created by combining sticks with gel harvested from local aggressive wildlife.

>>508963546Guess that confirms torch bad luck caps at -0.3

>>5089627700.7 of 5 is ~15% though. If anything that seems higher than the 5% penalty people mentioned above?

>>508963546Bear in mind that a negative score greater than or equal to 2 is very large and would basically take deliberate effort to reach.If you have such a score, your luck is -.4, which gives you a 40% chance that an event will be halved in probability.So, say you kill a mob which has a 10% chance of dropping an item. There is a 60% chance it has a 10% chance to drop the item (your luck does not affect you). There is a 40% chance that the chance of the item dropping will be halved to 5%.

>>508963546The number their CM posted there corresponds to luck of 0.5, not 0.4.10% base chance: 50% chance of it being unaffected = 10%50% chance of it being halved = 5%Overall: 7.5%.

>>508963820Thank you. People are taking this minor issue and blowing it way out of proportion.

>>508964114Sorry - that should be negative 0.5 and negative 0.4, not positive. If it's positive, the same applies, but the luck would double the chance if it procs instead of halving it.

>>508963928Notice how he mentions multiple types of bad torches?Every kind of torch increases or decreases a torch luck score, and depending on how that looks in the end you'll get a luck value added or subtracted.If you only use regular torches, you get a -0.5 penalty, which amounts to a -0.1 luck buff, aka a 10% chance to halve your chances, aka a 5% chance decrease.

>>508964271its LITERALLY just people asshurt about happiness and nerfs grasping at straws.

>>508964271Honestly, most of the people whining are just looking for a reason to whine. You only have to ask the absolute most basic questions about this mechanic and you can see that they don't understand it.

>>508962664If it almost never matters, then why implement it?

>>508963710There's lots of things in Terraria that I don't quite like, but I'm not about to start writing up posts on Holla Forums specifically bitching about them as if my opinion is objectively indicative of game design quality.Suck it up princess, and stop bitching.

>>508963247They will charge more, but you'd have to deliberately put them in the biome they hate with only the people they hate to actually get a price hike. 2 commie blocks half a screen away from each other at spawn will generally keep prices as they were before, and you can just put the goblin and engineer in a cave town for his high sell prices and low reforge costs

>>508964552I was talking specifically about the torch mechanic. Not luck in general, although I didn't know the Wizard mentions it.

>>508964667You could make this argument about any minor mechanic.

>>508964642You just don't love the game as much as they do. That's not a judgement either way, mind you.

>>508956529The only thing I don't get is why they decided to implement torches as part of the mechanic. I'm reading about it now on the wiki to try and form a game plan to tackle this, and I just keep thinking it should have been anything but torches. After reading about the luck mechanic I think it's pretty neat, should help with some of those uber low drop rates.

>>508964114No, it amounts to -0.3 bad luck, which i assume is the most amount of bad luck you'll get from torches.That would mean a 30% chance to halve your chances, or an effective 15%.15% of 5% would be 0.75%, so it does make sense.

>>508963830Right, but those changes weren't prefaced with a dev saying "I hate how people use torches so I am going to punish them for how they are traditionally used".Housing requirements are logistical and make sense from a gameplay perspective to assign npcs environments that make sense/patrol inside. If anything it makes the game easier to design around.Torch implementation in it's current state is arbitrary and does not allign with any other design philosophy they have demonstrated until now. I am willing to give a pass on npc towns/happiness but it still feels like it is treading a fine line.

>>508964825Best not to dwell on it.From what we now, this mechanic was literally build around Red's torch autism.So we can probably be glad that it isn't just a straight up penalty and actually let's you turn it around into a positive.

>>508964780Like I said, look through the code for stats about luck and see that the formula involves torches.How a normal person would figure it out? They wouldn't, but there's a shitton of mechanics in terraria that you'd never figure out without a wiki.

>>508964552To be fair, wizard doesn't spawn till hardmode, I haven't seen a gnome statue yet, and I only noticed the luck potions because I was trying to craft potions prepping for a boss fight and I forgot what the ingredients were

>>508964908Additionally, these changes were not communicated in the patch notes for whatever reason, and further provides evidence that for whatever reason, Red wanted to fuck with people who don't play the way he wants.Does it seem illogical? Absolutely. But at this point it's the only thing that makes sense. If the game communicated the feature or had something on the tooltip I would give it more of a pass.

>>508964848>30% chance of reducing a value by 50%>the value being reduced is 5%How can this possibly have an outcome of 0.75% user? The most it can possibly be reduced by is 50%, and there's only a 30% chance of that happening.

wait guys is there any reason I cant make an out of place room in snow biome with like 100 ice torches and use whatever I want on the surface?

>>508964914No, you're not supposed to figure shit out at all, you wouldn't even notice if nobody told you about it, you place the torches you get from the urns in each biome and you get a luck boost, you craft your own and your luck is slightly worse. That's all, that's it, it's no different from not knowing a skeleton can drop an amazing sword because it never once dropped, or knowing about it because it dropped once but never seeing it again.It's a variance mechanic in a sandbox game that will never impact the way you play unless you read about it on a wiki and autistically minmax.

>>508965246Never has been possible. You are thinking of minecraft.

>>508965321Ah, no, the 0.75% are the 15% which are being subtracted from the 5% drop rate.So the final drop rate would be 4.25%

>>508965382>It's a variance mechanic in a sandbox game that will never impact the way you play unless you read about it on a wiki and autistically minmax.But it does impact your playthrough. "knowing" about it doesn't really matter here. An 0.4 penalty, something you can get pretty easily is pretty significant. Then consider the length of the game and the sheer number of times that your bad luck chance will be rolled against and it's pretty hard to imagine how this isn't impactful.

>>508965350On top of what others said, the effect from a single type of torch doesn't stack.So using one or ten ice torches close to you makes no difference.

FUCK TORCHES, SOMEONE FUCKING HOST ALREADY

>>508965985No, the percentage it's being reduced by does not depend on luck. The chance of the reduction happening depends on luck. The increase is always 50%.>For example, if the base probability of an event is 10%, then:>If the player's luck is 1.0, there is a 100% chance that the probability is doubled, leading to a final probability of 20%.>If the player's luck is 0.5, there is a 50% chance that the probability is doubled, leading to a final probability of 15%.>chance that the probability is doubled>chance that the probability is doubled>chance that user is a dunce

I realize that the overall impact isn't super huge, but the torch luck mechanic is going to be something that I can't get out of the back of my head and will just grate on the experience the whole time. That's why it's a bad mechanic.

>>508966070well i meant if it would cancel out any effects from having the wrong torches, but its not like it matters to me anyway because i could give a damn about luck in my house vs the places luck would be actually useful

>>508965983>But it does impact your playthroughSo does getting the skeleton sword, it's not something to ever be bothered with though, you wouldn't be massively upset if you never got the sword, why would you be bothered by having slightly lower drops in circumstances where that only affects rare drops and nothing worth caring about?Seriously explain it to me, worst case scenario; what's the problem here? Stop the vague bullshit of "my luck is worse and I don't like it" and explain; why is your luck being slightly worse in rare circumstances so relevant to you that it requires you to bitch about it?>Consider the length of the gameOK, now what? I spend most of the time I play nowhere near places where the luck mechanic exists, and when I am in those places I'm not doing things affected by the luck mechanic. The fuck am I meant to be bothered by exactly? An insignificantly lower chance at a rare drop I wasn't expecting to get anyway? Really?

>>508962821>RushRush???Maybe I'm just not bad?I'm 6 hours in and I'm already at hardmode.

can we all just agree the reason behind the inclusion of the torch mechanic is the most autistic shit ever?

>>508965417>webm immediately crops the best part outfuck you

>>508964552None of this serves to actually explain the mechanic except for the last point, which is completely removed from the game itself.

>>508966276Sounds like a you problem autist, how hard is placing the right torches if it bothers you this much?

>>508966517Oh absolute, nobody is disagreeing there.

>>508966006You can get banned from servers for misplacing torches.

So after reading about torch luck, it doesn't really seem like that bad of a mechanic, its just poorly communicated.And for any drop you REALLY need, you can just make a area using the "correct" torches, and walk back and forth in it, or just use that biomes torch when caving.The regular torches giving only negative bonus's however is really retarded, if they should just be neutral so people that don't care can just ignore the mechanic, while people who do care get better drops.

>>508966517Isn't he just trolling around a mechanic designed to increase variance?This is the same guy who says the guide's grandmother is both the dryad and the lost girl. Pretty sure he's just shitposting.

>>508966701alt click items to lock them

>>508963587Because that's the way they want it to be?Rewarding for what you want someone to do is always going to be what you should do rather than punish.Same applies to balancing. Yeah, it might take more work but increasing the weaker stuff is the right way when you're talking about a product already in the wild.

>>508966560red has satisfied his own autism, at the cost of all of our autism.we need to take back our autism which he has stolen.

>>508966532No shit. Same as that nothing in the game mentions how pool size affects fishing results. You don't need to know everything that's happening under the hood nigger.

>>508966664literally not a thing.

>>508964271This is one of the things I pick at because it's a mechanic that nobody asked for and thinking that Red has autism or OCD.

Attached: luck.png (1071x1281, 173.44K)

>>508966517The autistic part about it isn't even the fact that the mechanic exists in the first place, it's the fact that the game penalizes you for not putting torches in the right biomes in addition to putting the torches in the right biomes. The luck bonus from placing biomes in the right biome should have been enough of an incentive from Redigit to make more people give a shit about the other torch types, but he had to actively punish people for not doing so as well. At least the town building system is optional to some degree, but this we'll have to deal with whether we like it or not.

>>508966967No, you can tell your fishing power is too low (that's what causes you to get trash, and is also what pool size affects) which is also affected by the weather and moon phase and time of day, it can also tell you a pool is too small, but you'll never know how large a pool needs to be to not get a massive penalty unless you read the wiki.

The entire implementation would be absolutely fine if regular torches didn't give negative luck. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and singlehandedly makes luck a bad mechanic.

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUH TORCHIES AAAAAAAAAAAA

>>508967391Anon... pool size only affects fishing power, that's literally all it does, a tiny pool gives you a massive penalty (75%) to fishing power and you need a huge pool to not get any penalty at all. Fishing power is what determines what you catch in EVERY circumstance, if you have enough fishing power (through mods, for example) you can fish anything even in tiny pools that barely meet the minimum requirement to be a valid fishing pool.The fuck are you talking shit about a mechanic you clearly don't understand nigger?

Dont mind me, just pirating your drop rate with my blue torch

>>508967820I didn't realize a minimum requirement of 50 fishing power was required since fishing in an appropriately sized pool will immediately rule out that problem making as to an extremely large number of fishing attempts will allow you to correlate that pool size is the most important factor to not fishing up junk.

As an example, for a drop that has a chance of 2% on killing an enemy, if you kill that enemy 1000 times you would expect 20 of that drop: In an Ice biome with any number of basic torches within ~42 blocks, (and no other modifiers) you would instead get 16 of that drop. If it took an hour to farm for this drop, it now would take an additional 15 minutes. In a Desert biome with any number of basic torches within ~42 block, (and no other modifiers) you would instead get 19 of that drop. if it took an hour to farm for this drop, it now would take an additional 3 minutes. In an Underground Jungle biome with a single Jungle Torch, a single Bone Torch, a garden gnome, with a luck potion with 5 mins duration remaining, on a Lantern Night, you would get 40 of that drop. If it took an hour to farm for this drop, it now would take 30 fewer minutes.

Wait. So I negatively impacted my drop rate chances because I filled the desert underground with a few hundred non-desert torches or what's this about? The game said absolutely jack shit about either luck or torches impacting it. I've never played Terraria before the latest update. How the fuck was I supposed to guess this on my own? If I hadn't just stumbled upon this thread just now I would have had no idea whatsoever that this was a thing.

>>508967994Sounds like you completely failed to make the proper correlation though, which only highlights the point I was making. Terraria is full of mechanics that it doesn't explain to you at all and that you can only approximate an understanding of unless you read a wiki. Luck is literally no exception.

are you people fucking retarded or something, starting a rebellion because drop rates get reduced 5% near torches, what the actual fuck. Who even uses torches in hardmode anyway

>>508953026so uhhh does desert torch go in the bug colonies?

>>508967958Putting down normal torches in some biomes lowers item droprate/damage because the dev is autistic and nobody cared about their shitty styled torches.

>>508967427I'm pretty sure the only reason Redigit did it this way is because he was particularily tired of everybody specifically using the basic torch. That's why it's the only torch type that doesn't give any luck bonuses if placed in the right biome, that's why it's the only torch type thathas the potential to give a 2 point penalty to luck rather than just 1. I'm not saying that he's particularily wrong for being mad at people using the default torch, heck, variety is good, but holy fuck, this was an unnessecary kick in the balls to simple functionality when you're down in the caves spelunking, it's not like people wanna care about what type of torch they bring along down there while exploring the caves, so this was really fucking unnessecary.

>>508968174>Wait. So I negatively impacted my drop rate chances because I filled the desert underground with a few hundred non-desert torches or what's this about?Yes

>>508967104The only times it matters, aka when you're farming, it's really fucking easy to manipulate and thus some of the worse grinds are now easier. Why are you complaining about this? As long as you use the right torches (which isn't hard), you can have a massive overall benefit from this system throughout the game.

>>508968174It's a 5% decrease. You'll live.

>>508968194My point is that the visual information the player receives makes it obvious that pool size is the first thing a player will try to assess when attempting to stop catching junk.It's a mechanic that is clearly more immediately observable since it has a clear, defined result of trash catches.

I only use white torches.

>>508968174you reduce the probability of a drop occuring by about 5% if you do something within 21 blocks of a wrong torch
