I thought so too, until I had to use almost an 999 stack against the boss (then again, I'm a poor shot). Considering how difficult the fight is and it's rewards, those are some expensive bullets/arrows.

Oh, nice.
I wanted to have a nice go at martians but spawnrate is now nerfed. Amazing.
Especially good now that you can't cheese Moon Lord with the mirror - THAT is some good news too - and need UFO or something equally mobile.
At least multiply the amount of things ML drops to offset already high difficulty. You can't even make a single set from current drop.
Good thing I finished Expert before this one hit, I can only wonder how far out of solar system would myshards travel if I had to do it now.
Not much farther after I found out what the special reward was though.
I wish I had fought the Moon Lord back when people were actually capable of tanking him without a cheese arena.... *sigh*
Then maybe I'd actually have gotten some armor and might actually stand a chance against him now, but nooo. They had to go and make him pretty much impossible instead of actually fixing him.

Yeah, true... I don't know, but making him despawn just makes the whole fight more annoying because you need to go through hell again just to fight him.
Like @Xylia said though, making him drop luminite on "killing" his eyes and giving as an option to craft a summoning item would be fine I guess. That way, if you get through the first phase you'd wouldn't have to go through all of the summoning issues again.

I liked EVERY change in the 1.3 update and later, EXCEPT the teleporting Moon Lord.
I agree that the "mirror-to-nurse" strategy is a little boring, but at least for the first(s) kill is the ONLY thing which could possibly work (for me at least, and i also have a world arena and the best stuff possible to get before it). Maybe the boss starts the way he used to be and after a few kills he changes to something like he is in this version.
PS: if my idea is bad, tell me how to make it better not only say i'm wrong

Wait... you had to use 999 arrows (With 66% no ammo consume chance, which means 2997 arrows) to beat the moon lord?
We discussed in a previous threat that pillar fragments should be used to craft an item that summons Moon Lord. It seemed the best solution. For added flavour the Cultist would drop the activation key, much like the power cell for the Golem.

I said I was a poor shot, especially while dodging my mind out. I also have terrible luck with RNG, so it was prolly less bullets than that, though not by an insane amount.
Edit: I also said "almost" a full stack. I had close to 200 left but don't remember the exact amount.

THIS EXACTLY! The Solar Pillars are so OP :c
Xylia

Well, that wouldn't really be necessary.
Just make it each Fragment x3 crafted at the Manipulator, and boom. You have to kill the pillars to summon Moon Lord. You will eventually run out of fragments to summon him with, so you have incentive to do the pillars again every so often but you don't have to do it EVERY time.

that is a lie, i just used pre-moon lord tier weapons and beetle armor and spammed nebula blaze and went to the nurse every so often and easily destroyed him just now

Until you kill the pillar of your choice + Stardust pillar then they are more bearable. I would like to see a slight nerf in Corites' damage output though. With how they duck into the walls and they charge you over and over and over again... I think they hit a little too hard. I'd see their damage taken down to the 30-ish range rather than 60 with ~100 Defense.

You "went to the nurse" every so often, with the ML teleporting to you in the newest update? I'd love to know how you did that.
leroy_jenkins
Terrarian
yes, i did, it's called build a building around the nurse so he can't hit you while you're healing, done, boom

Meh. I hate cheesing bosses. I'd rather the bosses be more reasonable to fight. I like his first phase. Then once you get the eyes out... *sigh* it's just stupid.
But I suppose if Red/Cenx refuse to actually fix the boss, I suppose I could grab my charm of myths, and do the whole invincible box deal.

actually, i find it EASIER after getting the eyes out, idk why everyone is saying it's harder, they do less DPS, and their attacks are easier to dodge as you're flying around stupidly fast with wings

You know, on second thought...
If you want to buff Moon Lord then let's change him into an event instead of a boss. Give player a timer, let player die however much he/she wants, if timer runs out - boss despawns.
He's already hard given that you as a player have zero leeway thanks to movement speed while not being able to heal consistently.
Dropping more stuff shouldn't be optional though, I'm not going through 30-minute sessions of enduring solar tower bull for barely enough bricks to make two pieces of armor even on expert.
