This video really puts into perspective how much the power spike from revengeance to death to malice is. I don't think I can name one person who has actually read the description of the items ingame. Simplistic yet effective editing. Good job this is a great video!

[@CryogenTheMusicMan]

@@treesap9789 i completely agree lol. knowing things is just cool

[@Sethg98]

There’s also an unofficial add on mod made by some of the cal devs called infernum that adds a new difficulty above death that completely changes how the fights work. GitGud already made a video on it if you want to know more but it’s essentially eternity mode but for calamity. It’s pretty neat and the cool thing is they’re planning to make it an alternative to malice in terms of getting challenge drops, tho they haven’t implemented that yet since the mod only goes up to mechs and mech alts atm.

[@soullsa3867]

What is the "standard" difficulty in your opinion? I found that playing in Revengence is most fun for me but some people say it's death mode. Which difficulty do you play the most?

[@GitGudWO]

I prefer Revengeance mode most of the time, I always choose Revengeance mode as my standard difficulty

[@chara-san4228]

Revengence is prfered as standard difficulty cause it helps you to get into the new mechanics that are introduced in Calamity

[@victorremonquevedo8330]

I'm noticing dead cells vibes Also the prison awakening theme

[@Zerum69]

Malice tooltip: Optional mode, it is intended to be a boss rematch, however bosses are doable on-tier The first part is just a lie, it's not optional, You will need some of these items to advance because they were created with revengance progression in mind(example the dodge scarf) and now they cannot be obtained in revengance. If you advance far enough so that the rematch battles become FAIR, then the rewards become obsolete, for example what will the dune hopper do for me if I'm already in hard mode (and you need to reach hard mode to make malice desert scourge FAIR since his AI tracks you too well too quickly and you require strong wings+a dash to properly avoid it) This combination of unfairness, excessive grinding, means that no matter what you choose to do I'll be unfair and unfun, even if you're skillful enough to beat it on-tier, you still need to overprepare like your life depends on it I like grinding, i like to challenge myself, but i demand fairness, eternity mode was the hardest mode in terraria modded until malice came out, but eternity is perfectly fair, the infernium mod is also a really hard addition to calamity but still fair. Malice just broke the mold and said "screw it they want hard we'll give hard" and made it obligatory to fight unfair fights it to progress in the fair ones

[@serthimus2340]

FINALLY SOMEBODY FINALLY SAID IT.

[@DoctorBones1]

Mrrp - 03/17/2022 "Challenge items were removed from Malice as making them available to all players was a more enticing option. Items which used to be Legendaries now drop from their respective bosses at a 10% chance in all modes, but will eventually receive unique obtainment methods, as SHPC has." your (and probably many other people including me) wishes came true

[@u-k]

Um we are doing malice all the way thru and it seems fair to me, although that might be bcuz of my 2k hours

[@ultratronger]

idk if there was an update but what youre saying makes no sense at all lol

[@Zerum69]

@@ultratronger they made a hotfix update more or less 2 weeks after my comment, because everyone was saying the same complaints They nerfed quite a bit of the unfair AI, though keeping the extremely high dmg (which isn't a honestly a problem, bosses could be 1hit ko and as long as the AI is fair i wouldn't bother), some bosses still feel stupid but at least dessert scourge is doable wingless now They also made it so those Malice mode unique item drops either got removed or reworked and available in all difficulties, making my biggest complaint, a non issue

[@LesbianWitchAcademia]

I wonder how hard playing with all the modifiers on is. Malice mode, Insta-death, no wings, no dodges

[@Sethg98]

Even some nohitters and devs doubt that defiled malice arma is possible. Obviously it would work up until at least calclone, since you don't have wings for the majority of pre hardmode anyway, and quick reforges+sandstorm in a bottle can outrun some of the early hardmode bosses, but whether it would continue to work in late hardmode/postML is a whole different story. Tho calamity's next patch will make it so defiled gives a boost to your double jump speed that scales with progression, getting +8% speed post skeletron, +10% in hardmode, and +20% post ML so that might make it more possible.

When Calamity comes to 1.4 I am going to start a world, and I am going to go straight to Malice Mode. I have never had experience with Calamity. The main reason for this is that the suffering will all be worth it to get equipment so powerful it can destroy universes. I am not touching the extra difficulty modes though, there is only so much suffering one individual can endure. As for the class, I have a custom class that I always use which is the Avenger Class. Basically I just get the most powerful weapons of each weapons sub-type (even making up sub-types if the weapon is in the "Others" category) and the best armor for each class and then just switch to whatever class I feel like playing whenever I want.
