My cousin boasting about how ALL of his weapons can fire faster and more consistently.


Ive literally never noticed it. Never.

Wait, Dark Souls has accessibility?
If they really want to play it, im not going to stop them.

Thats also an annoying feature, especially when my cousin put a zenith pre-hardmode, took out 90% of a Master goblin army before i had to force him to put the zenith back.

Reason? With my cousin?
Let me describe you how thats like:

It's a people you play with problem, not a game problem. I stand by my decision to not support this suggestion in any way.
 
Autoswing has been in Terraria ever since the introduction of weapons that no longer require tapping Left Mouse repeatedly over and over again. Oh and you think that’s the only thing? Take a look at Terraria mobile back in its very first release in 1.0.0 for iOS and Android, it took autoswing/autofire to the next :red:ing level.
 
Minecraft doesn't have Autoswing and its the most Disability friendly game out there
People have played Minecraft on a spoon, so if they can, i guess people who play terraria can too

My hands cramp easily too when mashing RT on my :red:ing Xbox controller and my goddamn middle finger I use on the trigger suffers from so much long periods of cramping, so therefore, there’s a damn reason why autofire and autoswing exist.

I think you don’t really want to remove auto swing, you want to take your arrogant cousin down a peg. If your cousin doesn’t know how to enable/disable auto swing you could secretly disable it in his device and see how he has to play after that. Your anger can be understood, but not justified. Especially when you are misdirecting it.

Yeah, i suppose.
He knows how to, and refuses to turn it off.
Considering he live 300 miles away, i don't think i can turn it off myself...
 
Absolutely not. As people said, if you don't like autoswing, don't use it. And who cares if your cousin is using it? That's how he wants to play. Some people have handicaps or issues that makes playing the game really difficult if they can't hold down a button. We should be making this game more accessible, not less accessible.

Ive seen a lot of people say Accessibility,
Do any elderly/disabled people play terraria?
It needs precision and fast movements. Playing terraria disabled is like playing Minecraft blindfolded.
But i suppose maybe they really need it that much, But I now realize I'm trying to remove something that doesn't need to be removed.
Im trying to remove the entire Internet because there are a few hackers

I'd like to address this misunderstanding and also remind everyone to chill out and relax, this is a suggestion. Disagreeing is fine, but please don't get heated up about it. I'll give the benfit of doubt that you were not intentionally trying to be rude here.

Accessibility is a very broad term. In the case of auto-swing it is an option to attack on click, or hold. For many people both young and old, reptitive clicking can cause joint pain or strain... or some people might just dislike the idea of having to click every time. Accessibility does not necessarily mean that it is made accessible to people with serious disabilities. It could be colour-blindness options, changing keybinds, adjusting the brightness of the screen, turning tutorials off or on... the list goes on - Every single ones of these are common accessibility settings which you've likely grown accustomed to in most modern games. It is more apt to think of accessibility as "adjusting the game in a way that makes it more comfortable"

Also yes, Terraria has elderly and physically disabled people that play it. But I don't think that matters much in this case.


Your opinion is valid, you dislike Auto-swing. I'm not in the position to say if it will remain or be removed, that's up to the developers. But I think it's unlikely that features will be removed from the game. You'll likely just have to get comfortable with the idea that some people use it.

I would like to also remind everyone that this thread is also about auto-swing, while discussion about it being an accessibility setting is fine do try not to derail into the shimmer, etc.

And finally, remember to remain respectful regardless of others playstyle or opinions. That goes for everyone.

I know a compromise that works for both arguments. Make the feral claws have a different function that's just as good.
Click to expand...
so make them outright a better item than before, while autoswing setting still exists with 0 changes done to it

feral claws gaining autoswing was more of a buff to the items that didn't have autoswing than a buff to feral claws themselves, because the feral claws line has always been one of the best accessories in the game for melee, and most items that didnt have autoswing and needed it were items the feral claws line is good for (Swords and whips)

but noo they "lost" an effect and suddenly they suck and need a buff
