Game Mechanics Classic Mode Treasure Bags (No Expert Loot)

[It'sYoGirlCrim]

I play Terraria a lot in large multiplayer servers with friends. It's pretty common for me to run games with 5+ players and while some of us are capable of playing in modes like Expert or Master, some friends are new and realistically are only attuned to Classic Mode.

While I am perfectly open to playing Classic mode, the experience is often far far worse NOT because of any difficulty settings, but because of the loot pool. The fact that bosses only drop a single pile of loot for everyone to need to fight over and share means that in order to progress we often need to fight the same boss significantly more than in an expert or master mode world, which dramatically affects the pacing and sometimes frustrates the people I am playing with.

My request is that classic mode gets their own Loot Bags that drops for each player, just like how it does in Expert or Master mode, but without all of the additional expert and master mode loot. That way convenience and well paced gameplay can be open to all players to enjoy regardless of skill level.

Another possible option could be to introduce a game system similar to "Cooperation and Coopetition" from the recent Borderlands games. Letting players choose whether or not bosses drop loot bags or a singular loot pool.

i've been wanting this for ages too, but for me it's because i sometimes miss something that dropped from the boss while swooping in to get the items

also, as an extra, can we please make it so that everything the boss drops is in its treasure bag? master mode relics (and iirc the master mode pets too) don't get included and it annoys me for the same reason above
