Don't know if it's just me, but the Perforator Cyst spawns way too much. I was destroying the pillars and killed about 15 of them. They disable spawns of any pillar mobs making me waste time killing them. Sure it's no hassle, free money, but it's rather an annoyance than a blessing.

i like the update... but even with all the changes since the initial patch.... most of the vanilla boss changes don't make them a challenge still. 2-3 minutes of build time for golem and that's about it.
devourer of gods is a joke to do still... to the point where if you have a stardust dragon staff and a few minecart tracks in the sky you can AFK farm it. the flying AI did help remove the cheesing of skybox worm mechanics however now you just have it chase you for ages and nothing ever hits you besides when you change directions and it's nullified completely by counter scarf... even if it was on a 1 minute CD.
i think the counter scarf CD could actually be a 1 minute CD but hitting something with a melee weapon that doesn't have a projectile will reduce it to 1 second, and only dodge contact damage so you can play 'actual' melee.
yharon... the fluffiest dragon to roam the lands. i don't have any real issue with how you can do yharon but 3rd phase is 100% harmless.... matter of fact i went afk when he hit 10% since 380k health doing 500 dps is a bit.... annoying. turned on a mouse macro and came back an hour later... still going. >party hard< i did think yharon would have 6-10m hp but kinda glad he doesn't given it was a 2 hour fight at 4m.
item changes outside of counter scarf... i still find astreal's defeat a stressful weapon given the circumstances to craft a powerful bow that has serious drawbacks but it's generally fine. it would also be nice to see a buff to lunarian bow... like... 40-50% no meme. deathwind has very short range for when you acquire it.
forgot to add... possible "oh
edition" of desert scourge if we kite it to the ocean?lore question... yharim is this super beast but they're dead? can we expect a 99.9999% impossible fight to win even using dev items? also why are we killing yharon... he doesn't seem that bad. he's just a nice fluffy pet. lastly... will we ever see the original calamitas? perhaps get yharim to change her back and have a waifu to train with.

I find a lot of this post pretty funny. 100% harmless? AFKable? I don't think so. I know vidya bravado is a pretty huge and popular thing these days, but saying any of those are easy and implying you can't lose is pretty exaggerated. They're hard bosses. Borderline unfair without good strategy and metaplanning. They're a challenge, for sure.

Did the destroyer get changed so that piercing weapons don't do as much damage to him? Seems weird that the Night's Ray works good, but a piercing magic weapon from a higher tier does only 1-2 damage a hit.

i'm uploading all of my recent kills to youtube if you don't believe me... not much editing in those videos but it'll be a couple days before they get released. i felt kinda bad like halfway through the series because i realized it's not very fun to watch since you have do them in certain ways or die >.> and why would i purposefully make something harder on myself? that's what making a hard boss is suppose to be about
it's a real hassle to make a proper hard boss when you're limited to not destroying blocks, changing instances or debuffing the player a ton.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Maybe it's easy to you because you already know exactly how to do it and how to cheese. Your experience is very much subjective and not representative of the content as a whole. No matter what the game or what the boss, there's ALWAYS an easy way to do it, or some way that makes it look easy.
There's also a certain irony in uploading videos of a task that by your admission is mundane. Not saying I don't believe you, I'm just saying your criticisms are silly and the idea of calling tough bosses easy just because you know a flaw in the system (there's many) or have a setup that can render something harmless (there's several) doesn't mean the boss as a whole is easy. DoG and Yharon are extremely hard bosses, ESPECIALLY by normal Terraria standards, the average, casual playthrough/player will struggle immensely. Being overprepared or having some way to trivialize it doesn't change that. Bottom line is, the only solution you have IS to make it harder on yourself. Buffing so that minmaxed characters will struggle only makes it frustrating for people who like to experiment.

I am with @General Milky here. There is NO WAY these bosses are easy.
If you're playing with mods that destroy balance then sure, they'll be easier. And of course, if you know what a boss is going to do it will always be easier.

to me i find them easy because you can do them in a way that completely takes out the interaction of the fight... i went blind into most of the newer stuff and yharon since i never got to him in the previous playthrough before the update and only recently started playing terraria, also i thought i made it pretty clear in my previous posts that i don't like using OP items.. i'm pretty sure besides danger dual-shot, flesh armor i used all calamity items. i could re-do all the bosses i used flesh armor on and insert whatever appropriate calamity armor set all the same but it probably would just make me take longer to do the bosses and play even more safe than i also do which is already slow kills.
it's not much fun or reward if you accomplish something using overpowered items... it's a reason i even decided to do the prepare to cry stuff... all the plays on YT just use stupidly broken items and they still die... when you're literally killing an end game boss in 3 seconds do you feel joy? pride? it's not a mappy with 100's of hours of building to make a machine you're just clicking for a few seconds... =/ who knows. *ahem* anywho...
i can agree with you on some points that while yes i did prepare a great deal for these fights... you should have to prepare for them when you're doing it on the absolute hardest difficulty possible if it's a "flaw in the system" or not. i know it's a lot of work to make bosses break through the cheddar walls but people will (most of the time) go the path of least resistance.
if people are going to struggle on a boss that is on the hardest difficulty... why the
are they on the hardest difficulty then? it's suppose to be a challenge.

i know how you feel... i don't really like pantera that much either but the boss is named after them, and the achievement, items... blame cenx.
