Terraria

touching ladybug give 12 minute good luck
killing lady bug give 3 minute bad luck

>killing WoF and all your prehard torches become useless shit.
if you place torches before hardmode you are a fucking retard.

It's time to admit it user, repeat after me;

1.4 was a mistake

jungle trees do not appear to drop acorns. wood is a finite resource in this world. fortunately i made it large.

*luck mechanic
i love my niggererian furry hoe

how the fuck can i get windowed mode back

I don't understand

>doesn't affect jungle
fuck you fag, I'm keeping my plantera arena lit like a goddamn lighthouse
I'll place extra torches that spell messages in the world map just to s[ite you

jungle trees regrow naturally on jungle grass, no acorns needed

the luck is based on the way you place the torches all over the map

Dryad also sells acorns.

idk mang I'm loving reworked magic missile

SOMEONE FUCKING HOST
Last time I joined a server on here I got banned for having the name FUCKJANNIES1488, and nobody there knew it was posted to Zig Forums

Can you just catch a ladybug, release it, touch it for the luck buff and then catch it again?

Yes

Why couldn't they have just made luck and happiness a bonus that you can ignore and just use the default rates as the worst values? That way you could just play the game normally but have the option of getting discounts and better luck for grinding

The wiki says its based on those in a 48 block radius around you, but its annoying that you have to carry around specific torches if you want to get better drop chances
The buffs are really great, I'm liking the flails and early magic is really fun

god red WHAT THE FUCK where you fucking head was THINKING ASSHOLE

So, can I just use Ultrabright ones without any problem?

Someone posted a version that unfucks some things a few threads back, does anyone have it?

>place 1 (one) biome torch and use nothing but regular torches (unless in ice biome) for 0.5 torch score
>this is then converted to +0.1 Luck
>still get a drop rate increase with zero penalty
what the fuck
you retards were making this seem like the end of the world
no wonder terraria general is laughing at Zig Forums

Yes, if you find a Skeleton Merchant and buy Bone Torches you can also get a slight luck boost for most places.

Yeah

this is good. i have trapped some slimes in the armpits of my fledgling wickerman.

I've always just spammed glowsticks when exploring caves, so that's one way of getting past it. You could also use gem torches since you get more now. What I'm wondering is if it effects fishing, at least there it could be handy to place the right torches for dedicated spots

Don't the glowsticks burn out?

>prepare for golem, modify the temple arena for maximum HP regen and evasion room
>piss easy fight to the point I didn't even need to use a potion and ended up killing him multiple times in a row

being near a single normal torch in a snow biome gives you -0.3 luck, which is unironically very significant
the most powerful luck potion in the game gives you +0.3, as a comparison

its just the kind of shit where someone will be farming in an ice lake with a normal torch right next to them, none the wiser that they are actually having a noticable impact on their RNG just because of the fucking torch next to them

the rest of the biome torches dont really matter but for some reason a normal torch in a snow biome just fucks you hard

Glowsticks poof when you leave the word

Anyone got the track list for 1.4? Trying to make a custom wavebank, made it halfway through before the music started being stuff that the wiki hasn't documented

>im wonder if it is effecting fishing
doesnt look like it, no

>torch luck autism
what the fuck, why
how are you supposed to figure this out in the first place
I always just crafted like 900 ice torches because they were about as cheap as regular and seemed brighter and way nicer
but apparently I've been fucking up everyone's luck like hell all over the damn place without knowing, fucking hell

did the luck count on the last hit?
or is just a fucking aura of 5-3 secs

you banned from the server user

>how are you supposed to figure this out in the first place
you aren't
i'm convinced there is absolutely no way your average player will learn about how torches effect luck without consulting the wiki, unless they persue an extremely unlikely course of events that lead them to trying to measure their luck through the wizard, which is barely helpful anyway
they don't even know everything iirc

your luck is recalculated every frame

How can I farm corals so I can make fast 999 ocean torches to satiate my 999 torch collection?

That's the dumbest thing about it, I don't think anyone even knew about until recently.
The game doesn't really say anything about luck, not until you get the wizard or if you notice they have luck potions; I thought it would just be a just a positive that you would only bother with when grinding, not something that can fuck with you from the very beginning

get*

Is there any good reliable way to find a voodoo doll? I've dicked around in the underworld for over an hour and cant find one.

place the right torch and wait

holy shit red what the fuck is in your head

1/50 chance a demon is a voodoo demon
crank up those spawn rates with water candle/battle potion and wait

What program do we use to check seeds now? I havent played in like 40 years

leave the underworld for a few minutes then come back
in my experience voodoo demons attack in packs

Reminder that luck also affects fishing up crates

Luck is fine but what fucking retard decided to let torches make luck go into the negatives?

Just research the ones you have, then you can duplicate a free stack of 999

What the actual fuck is this.
is 1.4 the worst patch in terrarias history?

Torcharia.
Need a mod made when TML updates to turn every item in the game into some form of Torch. Torch chairs, torch tables with torch legs, Torch Anvils, Torch Swords, Torch Slimes, Torch Bats, Torch Skeletons. Turn the Eater of Worlds into a multi-torch worm boss. All of them give or take luck.

>placing torches in incorrect biomes makes you unlucky
fucking why
this is retarded
Having a house in the hallow means you either lose out on luck or cover it in eye searing pink torches

We are lucky they didn’t add fucking hunger

It would be fine it luck only worked in positives, at least then the game would play with the same odds as before

"How would you know" is not an argument. How would you know to not build your base off to the side as a new player to avoid getting fucked by the hardmode V? You wouldnt, 50/50 shot of it just fucking you as a new player with absolutely no hint.

Nevermind, turns out the second half that I can't figure out is all Otherworld music, which I believe only plays in the drunk seed.

I've lit up nearly every underground area in my Large Master world with generic torches while exploring, is that why it felt like I wasn't getting Expert's drop rates? I don't understand all these college boy luck equations

>mfw Im just hearing about this torch mechanic now

Friends and I are well into hardmore master mode. We place torches like darkness could kill.
Is our world fucked?

I’m replacing every torch I used with Ultra, god this is taking forever

That's a one line change in dnSpy.

I AM THE TORCH

(unless someone here can confirm whether or not WoF and these others have new music, I haven't gotten that far yet.)

>terraria, a game cherished for its enjoyable gameplay and benevolent content update philosophy will now forever be remembered as "that one spelunking game that fucks you over if you use torches to aid your spelunking"

What were they actually thinking

i have installed a door in the head of the wickerman because outside of it is where i spawn after death. perhaps a chair will entice the dead merchant to return. now i will dig.

no, read the damn wiki entry on luck
your torch luck is only calculated based on a 21 block radius

how would you know is absolutely an argument if there's a way to find out through gameplay
getting fucked by the hardmode v is something you figure out the first time you kill the wall of flesh, not before, not later, and it happens every time guaranteed
describe how someone would find out about torch affecting luck through gameplay and not through the wiki, if you can i'm sure it would include half a dozen extremely unlikely events and pursued chains of logic for it to happen
