Who cares about people skipping the quest? The quest is the exact same every time. Go to area, catch fish, return to Angler. So what if you do it a bunch of times in one day instead of once a day spread over several days? What exactly are we LOSING by letting people stockpile quest fish?

I'm pretty sure whips already can do this... but I may be remembering it incorrectly.

I wouldn't want to have both boot flight and wing flight active at the same time. Boot flight is so much slower and clunkier, and having to deal with both during a single session of airtime would be annoying.

That would be fine. In fact, I would go slightly further; the Chik can teleport through walls, and doesn't suffer the 25% damage penalty when hitting enemies through blocks. Considering how almost every other on-tier yoyo outdamages it otherwise, it would give the Chik a nice niche as a "safe"...

I'll concede that it probably wouldn't be quite as strong as I made it out to be, that was an overreaction. And now that I think on it further, I'm not so sure anymore that it would be all that overpowered, either, as the extra input necessary to make it work is a significant skill check. I...

I didn't say it shouldn't be fixed. I said Magiluminescence wasn't the source of the problem.

The reason I think autofire on the Magic Missile isn't a good idea is that the weapon is designed around being slow and powerful. That's why it has the controllable projectile thing, which replaces autofire. The issue lies in the fact that the Magic Missile is slow in a different way than other...

I'm not sure exactly what your point is. Are you saying it's worse to focus on the biggest part of the problem before the smaller parts?

The problem is honestly just that it's not worth coding in. The Shimmer buffs aren't particularly strong, players aren't going to be checking it all that often, and coding a UI is a lot harder than it seems. Meanwhile, the exact same effect can be achieved by just taking a Post-it note, writing...

That's a false equivalency. Health, mana, and armor information is displayed not as a convenience, but as a necessity to prevent confusion. Additionally, those stats are constantly in flux, and keeping track of them manually would be extremely difficult, if not impossible. This request is not...

This is an interesting one... it's a convenience on roughly the same level as the Mana Flower, but arguably even less powerful, since you can just hit B to achieve roughly the same effect. I can see situations in which you want to use this, for sure, but if you're playing optimally you'll never...

Nobody likes it when I say this, but... you could just grab a piece of paper and a pencil and write it down. Or craft a sign in-game and write it down. I don't think an addition like this is necessary at all when we already can achieve this effect ourselves with a bare minimum amount of effort.

I've had a similar thought in the past. I like this idea.

If we're going to have Hallowed critters, I'd prefer them to be non-hostile. And if they must be hostile, I definitely don't think they need special attacks. There's such a thing as feature creep.

Adding on to J Bame's point, there's also the Golf Cart, which is by far the best mount in pre-Hardmode (in my opinion, at least). It's the best acceleration option outside of SoC, can be gotten pre-boss, doesn't take an accessory slot, and is fast enough to match pace with Wall of Flesh at its...
