Game Mechanics Please let me open my inventory while I'm dead

[Hickory]

Terraria is a game of resource management, and the respawn timer, being forced down time, would be a great time to check your inventory and make note of what you need to do next. I find myself trying to check my inventory every other if not every time I die, but it only brings up the pause menu. I really wish I could check my inventory while dead.

Would be even better if you could move inventory things around while dead, 15 seconds is a good while that you have to spend doing absolutely nothing useful.

This would actually be pretty nice now that I think about it. I've definitely done the same thing before, trying to open my inventory only to not be able to cause I'm waiting to respawn

You can't even scroll through the hotbar while dead
Why did they do this

 

[trya]

because you're dead. you can't do anything when youre dead

I think it’s because of hardcore players actually. It should probably still be changed tho.

While i disagree on moving stuff around while dead, i would maybe be okay with opening your inventory while dead? This would only really help classic players since obv mediumcore wouldnt have any items and hardcore would be dead dead, but seeing your inventory would be fine as long as you cant move stuff around

your dead, and you can't realistically or in game do anything. the countdown is to make it harder to cheese bosses in multiplayer worlds and to make it so you can regret your life choices as you watch the enemies pick up all your coins and spawn in droves around your grave. they are pitying us, though, because in 1.4.5 we are getting spectating when dead. we have even seen it getting made here:
