tModLoader Shadows of Abaddon mod

[g3g3n]

Hi, I have an odd issue with the mod, where the damage values of SoA (v 1.1.1.4) items are all over the place. I started noticing unusually high damage when looking at my options for crafting weapons in Recipe Browser, and indeed when I checked said items on SoA wiki, values didn't match. It's a real shame because I'm otherwise loving the mod, but crafting many weapons from SoA would just ruin any challenge. Below are some examples:

Harpy Gun's listed damage on wiki is 20.

Tome should be 24 dmg as per wiki.

Now next one bugs me the most:

Duskshine is listed at 18 dmg on wiki, while Duskpalm should be at 21. Here it's almost reversed. Duskpalm should be an upgrade, but it's completely pointless in my game.

I have about +6% dmg total from accessories.

Mods I'm running along with SoA:
Thorium v1.6.3.5
WeaponOut lite
MaxStack Plus
WMITF?
No more tombs
Accessory slots+
Yet another boss health bar
Directional melee
Wing slot
Boss checklist
Magic storage
Recipe browser

Any idea what could be causing these odd values? Thanks

nah that's just our wiki being outdated as usual, we don't have that many helpers to update stuff as the values change, this is all intended (the upgrade dealing less base damage is because it fires bouncing projectiles that leave behind lingering projectiles, effectively increasing its DPS. It's not all about damage y'know)

I see, thanks for replying. Indeed it's not all about damage; I haven't considered other mechanics, just raw numbers.

That wasn't me. I nerfed its horizontal speed to 61 and falling speed to 51.
Check your equipment and other mods

first of sorry if this is already known but i found a glitch where if you take off the scarf of undying flame while the effect is happening (the missile effect) it will glitch out and spawn hundreds of them.

When the next update drops, can you please make it so that the maii blades from the asthraltite armor would deal actual damage AND inflict Soulburn to make it better when used with other mods and so it would actually be useful.

iirc Dan wanted to rework the Asthraltite armour setbonus a bit in general. He knows that the Maii blades are awful; 'specially since it's only even slightly useful for Mages.
aaaaaalso they wouldn't wanna balance around other mods in any regard. That's generally a very bad practice and makes balancing tedious and obnoxious.

Byeah I am planning to rework the entire thing, and yes basically what Koop said

How do you find out how many people looked at your mod.

Can you pls buff the star scourge so that its damage is higher and it occasionally fires many projectiles in a ring, also I think that the stellar priest armor and several other items need to be buffed/reworked and maybe in the future you can include upgrades for the pillar fragment weapins using luminous energy, thanksQ

Thing is... we already have all that planned :vvvvvv we are rebalancing everything. The issue here is that our team is EXTREMELY small and slow, so updates tend to take a long time

That's okay, Dan! Can you also buff the Yata mirror and make the expert mode sibling weapons upgradeable with ascension tablets to become relic weapons?

Will prolly rework the Yata Mirror, and with the sibling weps... don't think I'll make relics of all of em but I have some ideas for a few of em

I decided to check out some Terraria mods for the first time, and I've got to say, Shadows of Abaddon is amazing.
But I added the Fargo's Soul Mod DLC and the whole sha-bang and it kept crashing.
After troubleshooting, I figured out that the issue was compatibility with SoA and Calamity and that tModLoader is a few versions ahead. I checked the Discord and found that hotfix download but then it conflicted with Fargo's for the same reason.
I'm assuming some tModLoader updates just occurred or something and this it will be fixed soon but I figured I'd comment about this just in case.

The mod will still work on the current TML version until the 1.4 version is released. Also, the next update for the mod is gonna take a while (as usual), will most likely happen after TML 1.4 is out

Is this mod compatible with PinkyMod and Bismuth ?

I've been on a run with a friend in a world where we have the Fargo's Soul Mod as well as Shadows of Abaddon. One of the crafting requirements for endgame items, Void Warden Enchantment, requires the dev item Dragonslayer - Pandolarra in order to craft. Is there any method of obtaining this item normally or was this an oversight by the Fargo's team?
