I think the diamond analogy with terraria would be more accurate if there were like half a dozen diamond alternatives that were equally rare in different ways, lol. The rng is stupid but the game has so much content that you'll always get _something_ to work with anyway.

I mean this only applies for itmes like the ankh charm or the cell phone and maybe terra spark boots, and while all these items are nice to have, you really don't need them that much. Oh and rod of discord. You can also install mods for crafting recipes

[@Barlakopofai]

It's a bit funny watching alpharad constantly shitting on little mac players and then his entire gameplay this episode is just spamming forward smash until he gets grabbed or hit by a projectile. It's almost like he has some kind of complex that makes him cocky until he flies too high and then he comes crashing down.

@@LordTerias yeah but the rng still really sucks, the one bad thing about the game is that it can just decide to not give you an item and you can kill a boss or farm enemies for hours just to get something with like a 10% drop rate. It’s especially infuriating when you get an item much rarer than the one you’re looking for with relative ease (coming from someone who actively plays and enjoys the game)

[@guyman3854]

Agreed

[@plan3teris]

I would agree with everything except rod of discord. Rod is so broken that even mods that make it craftable (calamity mod) nerf it, and it completely flips combat on its head for every class. It should realistically be either way more accessible or nerfed severely.
