Weapons & Equip Balancing The Flying Dutchman mount

[Baruc]

Hello, Sorry my english.

I just entered the hardmode and in the third pirate invasion (before I even killed any mechanical boss) I was lucky enough to get the Flying Dutchman's mount. However, I think this mount is breaking the progression of the game because it is very fast and has infinite flight. With it I don't have to worry about getting the wings of the game anymore. They become unnecessary.... I believe that flying items of this level should be obtained only later in the game.

Although I do agree with your statement, (Black Spot should he nerfed) the Black Spot is terrible when you turn. The mount slows down like crazy when going from right to left, so it evens out. (Kinda not really, the mount is still too op)

Maybe things could be set so that the Flying Dutchman only drops Black Spots after Plantera is defeated. That might help the progression issues.

Winged Insignia outclasses it the moment you get it. I don’t think it matters all that much. It makes your hurtbox way too big to outclass wings (especially with the shield of cthulhu or frog leg/it’s upgrades)

Considering how badly balanced master mode is in the first place I have little problems with the Black Spot being an easy cheese for most bosses
