Items 1.3.6 suggestion: Soda, a new throwing weapon and drink at the same time!

[WyattRodebaugh]

so in real life its hot because its summer and we always love to have a drink or few outside and relax. I thought "what if we had a drink/weapon in terraria?" and thats when a new weapon/drink came to mind. i present you, 5 different types of soda!
(Note that the damage depends on its popularity, not because i just thought of random damage.)
starting off with early hardmode sodas.
Number 1
Coke

grants Well Fed buff for 5-10 minutes. grants sugar rush an unobtainable debuff/buff which will now be a buff for 1 minute. sugar rush will now speed the player by 25% but will give potion sickness for 1 min.
Type: Weapon and Potions (yes food and drinks are potions when you go to the terraria wiki.)
Damage: 70 (thrown) 100 (spilt then thrown)
Knock-back: 19 (thrown) 38 (spilt then thrown)
critical chance: 20%
use time: 14
velocity: 19 (thrown) 38 (spilt then thrown / altogether)
Rarity: up to the devs
stack: 999
obtained: On random days (stops selling soda at 6:00 pm.) in mid hardmode (Post Golem) when merchant is present and when the player is wearing either 0x33's Aviators or Sunglasses.
Cost: 50 Copper
sell: 15 Copper
Notes: "left click to throw the coke, right click to drink the coke and hold left click to spill the coke. automatically throws the coke when spilling the coke. when you throw the coke it automatically uses another one."
Unlike all throwing weapons, the sodas allow you to hold click and keep throwing sodas. (I wish I knew how to make a gif or something of me using it because for 1 I dont know how to code.)
Number 2
Dr. Pepper

grants Well Fed buff for 5-10 minutes and sugar rush for 1 minute.
Type: Weapon and Potions
Damage: 60 (thrown) 85 (spilt then thrown)
Knock-back: 17 (thrown) 34 (spilt then thrown)
critical chance: 22%
use time: 15
velocity: 17 (thrown) 34 (spilt then thrown / altogether)
Rarity: up to the devs
stack: 999
obtained: On random days (stops selling soda at 6:00 pm.) in early hardmode (Post-3 mechs) when merchant is present and when the player is wearing either 0x33's Aviators or Sunglasses.
Cost: 50 Copper
sell: 15 Copper
Notes: "left click to throw the dr. pepper, right click to drink the dr. pepper and hold left click to spill the dr. pepper. automatically throws the dr. pepper when spilling the dr. pepper. when you throw the dr. pepper it automatically uses another one."
now the pre-hardmode sodas

more notes: all sodas have their own cool buff.
coke gives lifeforce for 2 minutes
dr. pepper gives ironskin for 2 minutes
mountain dew gives Rage for 2 minutes
pepsi gives regeneration for 2 minutes
and last sprite gives you thorns for 2 minutes.

I understand the idea, as it is similar to the tavernkeep's main method of attacking, however, I don't think this should be in the game. not only could this result in multiple legality issues, this item just doesn't seem viable as a weapon. I think that the ale tosser is what you are trying to accomplish, but terraria does not usually support left/right clicking for using items. Maybe as a mod, but I'm not that supportive of this idea.

 

[WyattRodebaugh]

well if I remember there was some items that did have a second attack.

but I'm not that supportive of this idea.

well first Im pretty sure the companies would allow this. second, it was so hard for me making the soda logos so I just cut out some and shrunk them, and I I made the cans and coke logo myself.

Why would anybody use Sprite/Dr.Pepper when they could use Coke/Mountian Dew?

 

[WyattRodebaugh]

Why would anybody use Sprite/Dr.Pepper when they could use Coke/Mountian Dew?

because 3 sodas are used for pre-hardmode, sprite is used for early pre-hardmode, pepsi is used during early and mid pre-hardmode and mountain dew is used for mid and late pre-hardmode. honestly, did you ever read the WHOLE thing or did you just read the sodas and stuff?

*reads the page again* oh i made a boo boo. ill fix it

There you go. You fixed it.
As for the terms "early and late" you may want to add some clarification. Reccomendations:
"Early Pre-Hardmode" - Pre-Shadow Orb/Crimson Heart
"Mid Pre-Hardmode" - Post-Shadow Orb/Crimson Heart
"Early Hardmode" - Post-WOF
"Mid Hardmode" - Post-3 mechs

I really don't like labeling an idea as inherently bad, but I see a few glaring issues that I'm not sure are fixable.

• Using these weapons is basically the same as littering. I get that Terraria players throw knives and shurikens around without a second thought, but since these weapons are literally trash, this definitely sends the wrong message.
• You can't be well fed by drinking soda. This is a biological fact. Again, not saying that Terraria is the most logical game, but once again it sends the wrong message.
• This just feels like product placement to me. Regardless of whether Relogic gets paid by big soda to include this or not, it would just feel like I'm being shown a soda commercial that I never signed up for.

I think the best compromise would be to reduce this to a "bland-name" soda like "Dr. Pigron", and reduce the number of sodas down to one. Otherwise it feels like a joke that's been taken too far.

You can't be well fed by drinking soda. This is a biological fact. Again, not saying that Terraria is the most logical game, but once again it sends the wrong message.

I'd just like to point out that eating a singular piece of Bacon feeds the player "well" for 30 hours(technically minutes, but a minute = one hour), while eating a Cooked Fish dinner only feeds you for 20 hours. Is it ironic that your name has Bacon in it and I'm using Bacon as an example for this matter?


About the suggestion, yeah this can't seem all that serious. The weapons seem extremely overpowered for just throwing a can and even for game progression, a relatively cheap throwing item that does 50+ damage in pre-hardmode? They also provide buffs that pretty much null the need for the respective buff items(why would I gather the needed reagents for the potions when I can just chug these sodas purchased from the Merchant?) This screams "modding potential" to me, but it's not serious enough to be in the vanilla game.

Anyways, I wouldn't think Re-Logic would sell out just to add overpowered soda to the game.

 

[WyattRodebaugh]

You can't be well fed by drinking soda

yeah well every food.. oh wait if i put a drink on a suggestion its buff would be either Tipsy or Immune. id rather pick immune because tipsy is more for a wine or beer drink.

I wouldn't think Re-Logic would sell out just to add overpowered soda to the game.

its not SO overpowered especially in expert mode.

"bland-name" soda like "Dr. Pigron"

oh yeah like i can just make it sprote and not sprite. like i can make coke into cick and.... that was hard for me to make the coke and re-logic can always edit it because im sure as heck i cant!

 

[BrusselSprouts693]

"Late pre-hardmode (Post-WOF)"

 

[WyattRodebaugh]

"Late pre-hardmode (Post-WOF)"

i mean when the player has either defeated every pre-hardmode boss except wof and when the player fails trying to beat wof.

Coke should be “Conke” and Pepsi should be “Bepis” or i’m gonna riot

And you don’t have to think too hard about the buffs; just Sugar Rush would be fine.

tbh if and only if this suggestion proposes the addition of an item called “bepis” to the game, i’m all in

well if this is ever in terraria, re-logic will edit the sodas so go riot.
