For what it's worth, this wasn't an argument. We both made concessions, we listened to what the other had to say, we acknowledged the good and the bad, and we changed our opinions as we went. I feel like you spat a bit of venom at me, but if that isn't the way you meant it, then I'm sorry. I felt like I had to defend myself. Forgive me.
I totally understand that you don't like my idea. That's fine. I just hope you don't mind if I pick your brain. If not, you're always welcome to step away.
I've been trying, trust me. You better believe I've tried nigh everything I could think of, and I've been trying to use this post as a way to document that process. Like I mentioned before, this has nothing to do with my own experience with my current playthrough. It's just that I, just like you, love this game very much, and if there's something I can do to make it more enjoyable for me, my friends, and the hundreds of thousands of people who will continue to play for years to come, I'd like to throw in my two cents.
Truthfully, it was just meant to be something to start with, and I've changed it slightly since I wrote the original post. I considered evil stones, and I think that it makes sense if you have a Crimson biome, but not so much with Corruption. I had considered something like Blood Water/Unholy Water, but I didn't like that that wasn't in pre-boss (For the sake of Blood Rain Bow.). Honestly, though, I think that a lot of things could totally work. I'll add this to the original post.
