Because the devs intend it to take fall damage
Terraria: Labor of Love is Out Now!
- Thread starter Loki
- Start date
Duke's health and health scaling was increased, meaning its harder to brute force out-DPS him as an underprepared player.
Additionally, he is temporarily invincible during his phase transitions, which were often used by players to get in SUBSTANTIAL amounts of damage free.
Finally, a few of the key mobility accessories received some minor nerfs, and mobility is the most useful feature for defeating Duke, though I have no illusions that the mobility powercreep since 1.2.4 has been curtailed significantly. Even so, some mobility options are slightly weaker than before.
Of extra note is that Duke's enrage now is more intense. Some players deliberately used his enrage mode and exploited it for actually being easier in some ways to defeat, and this should be more difficult to do now.
If you were already someone who was comfortable defeating Duke with tier-appropriate equipment, you won't find the fight to be significantly different, except that it lasts longer.
well it doesn't make any sense and other slime mounts in the game don't make you take fall damage

The one other slime mount that has wings that should logically be able to break a fall?
well still, it's a slime and i think it would be a lot cooler if you wouldn't take fall damage if you can get accessories like lucky horshoe or fledgling wings pretty early on anyway. for now, i just made a mod that makes you take no fall damage with the mount and i really like it lol

You'd still feel the impact from falling at such a fast speed
In fact, realistically you should be taking MORE fall damage with the slime mount bc of how fast it moves
anyone seeing this weird red outline on terra blade waves on 1.4.4.3 pc? it only shows up after moving outside the main spawn/town area, but I can't be sure.
EDIT: It definitely is being triggered by changing backgrounds, and seems to happen when entering any non-forest biome.
EDIT 2: it seems to be hostile entities that trigger the change, not backgrounds.
EDIT 3: issue was found to be an accidentally left in hitbox, it's going to be fixed in the next hotfix.

Maybe it has to do with the blood moon lighting?
Currently no Blood moon in progress, nor any other event.
well it's a video game and in most video games slimes act in such a way that they absorb impact damage, slimes also don't take fall damage but the mount does

No enemy takes fall damage.

Ok i saw the red rain and thought that was blood moon rain, but now I see the rain is red BECAUSE of the red particles

A few thoughts and an addendum.
I tested a few more hanging items in addition to signs and item frames, the war table banner, chandeliers, hanging planters/brazier, and the disco ball can't hang from platforms.
I don't know if this is new or not, but since yoyo strings can change fishing line colour, why not kite strings as well? Also there's rainbow string but no rainbow golf ball...
With the shadow candle being a thing, could we get black torches for consistency sake? And also just to have a hilariously useless torch.
Would it be possible to use the same visual trick as ropes to make platforms "connect" through rails? Picture to show what I mean:

well... i just found out there is such a thing as a "trimerang", from checking with the guide.
but... "three boomerangs are better than one"?
if that's the case... why does the trimerang have less damage, speed, and knockback than the shroomerang alone?
is that intentional? cause it seems odd...

Because you can shoot three of them at once, while the Shroomerang can only have one out at a time.
At very close range, with the boomerang bouncing off the enemy and returning to you in a split second, Shroomerang might deal higher damage, but at distance, its DPS drops off considerably. Trimarang on the other hand can deal more reliable damage at distance, providing more dependable performance at distance, as well as a lot better group/mobbing capability.
Use time on Boomerangs is a rather irrelevant stat since they spend 75% of their time in the air, with you unable to "shoot another one".
Edit: Did a little testing really quick:
Shroomerang performs better in the closest 25% of range here, while Trimarang performs better (often MUCH better) in the distance 75% of range.
Trimarang also has a slightly higher max range in general too, and is more forgiving in scenarios where perhaps you miss a shot and find yourself defenseless while it returns.

Debug effects are kinda cool. There should be an accessory that shows them.
This isn't the sort of thing that's always on when we use debug builds, there are hundreds of temporary commands that we turn on or off as needed. This one was only left in for testing, and was to be removed immediately after, its not like some secret effect feature we have lying around at all times. Sorry, not happening
