Sprites What if every fragment had a weapon for each type?

[yudgefudge]

Answer: HEAVY. GRIND.
This suggestion does not need to exist. I barely consider it a suggestion, but instead more of an idea that I have no want to make into the game, I just want the community to speculate on it.
First, let's classify what we already have into weapon types:

Solar Eruption: Flail. Why isn't it a launched flail already? Its sprited as such, and is used similarly, so I see no point.

Daybreak: Spear. Same reasoning as Solar Eruption, except, it will stay a projectile, so as to not hurt its ungodly DPS.

Nebula weapons: Both remain other. Too complicated to subtype.

All these weapons have the red rarity.

Spoiler: Solar Fragments

Spoiler: Supernova

Let's stop for a moment.

Summons a small Twinkle Popper, which blasts stardust energy balls that home in on enemies.

 

[Here for now]

All of these are great and wish that if possible theses are in the game. Please try to make these into a mod. And try to have a good day.

Each click releases 8-15 streams of vortexian flame, which inflicts the Bry-ccentric version of On Fire on each stream.

hm yes, um, first off, that's weak as and that thread has been on my "to-revise" list. second off, hm yes, publicity, thank.

You probably shouldn't refer to other people's threads in your suggestion without proper permission. It's kinda a form plagiarism, and it's confusing for the readers.

Okay, I wasn't sure if I should've said that or not. Thanks for doing it for me.

 

[yudgefudge]

I removed them. Sorry, I thought you'd appreciate it

 

[Bry]

Oh, well I didn't expect you to respond that soon. Guess I'll just post the feedback separately, then.

First, let's classify what we already have into weapon types:
View attachment 235656Solar Eruption: Flail. Why isn't it a launched flail already? Its sprited as such, and is used similarly, so I see no point.
View attachment 235658Daybreak: Spear. Same reasoning as Solar Eruption, except, it will stay a projectile, so as to not hurt its ungodly DPS.
View attachment 235660View attachment 235659Nebula weapons: Both remain other. Too complicated to subtype.

Okay, yes. I see no problem here.

All these weapons have the red rarity.

That was definitely not necessary.

I even sprited the projectile! Look at all that SHINE!

...Bold move. Not completely opposed to it, either, except you didn't ing nerf it because the sword and its projectiles are slightly faster alongside the minimal damage reduction. The latter of which is completely negated, by the way, by the introduction of Daybroken, which now adds an extra 100 DPS per stack.
Also, I don't think changing a sprite's color qualifies as "spriting"; that's what we call a "recolor".

Maybe it's just me, but this yo-yo seems like it could deal with crowds much better than the Terrarian could. I assume the blades pierce?
I like the blade idea, at any rate.

Check out J Bame's suggestion on making all boomerangs worth crafting! (so you'll have a reason to craft this one)

Suddenly, a link to J Bame's suggestion? Come on, man, at least pretend you put some effort into this weapon. You call this thing "completely original", but then proceed to give it no special traits and instead leave the actual work to be indirectly done for you by someone else's suggestion. Boomerang stacking is an inherently-flawed mechanic in this game, which is part of the point that J Bame was trying to get across.

Rockets launched are charged with vortex energy, which, when exploded, summons a small vortex, that's a Nebula Arcanum projectile.

Well this idea seems vaguely familiar. Good thing the name's generic or we'd have a lawsuit on our hands! (Not really.)

Alright, espera, HOLD ON. Who the let you do that? You can't just do that, man; you gotta give a proper credit, at LEAST. You just made me sound like some sort-a brand name, the way you phrased that.
Your balance sense is also off, since that debuff's garbage late-game anyways. Not to mention, I have that suggestion on my "To Revise" list, which means it's currently not up to my standard, which means using it is an especially bad idea.
Not sure why you even went the On Fire route when you could've done something much cooler.

Blasts a three pulses in succession, randomizing the order - orange, pink and blue.
The orange one deals 75% of the damage, and heals the player by 50% damage dealt.
The purple one deals 125% of the damage, and has 300% knockback.
The blue one deals 80% the damage, homes in on the enemy, and is half as mana intesive.

Okay, you literally just told us how much damage and mana this thing's gonna cost, and then immediately told us it's not gonna deal that much damage, nor will it use that much mana. The purple (or pink; seems you forgot to change that) pulse is probably gonna keep the healy one from hitting when it comes to enemies that take knockback, which I suppose is fair, because that pulse heals a LOT of health.

Another nimbus rod.

I'm gonna be frank with ya: I'm not entirely sure how useful those clouds are in endgame, especially seeing as you've made 0 changes to the formula.

That... seems like a reference to another suggestion, which isn't bad, except that that seems to be its only redeemin' quality, since you didn't explain SQUAT. What's it DO???

I mean, I already beat you both to the punch years ago. Not like it's a high-hanging fruit, anyways.
I like that this take on the Popper Staff is less accurate to the actual enemy, but is a lot better for airborne enemies. All those Twinkles can really do is hop.

All my feedback sums up to "you have interesting concepts, but poor (if any) execution, save for a few exceptions."​

So (tell me if you're adding or replaceing weapons.) the summoner is unique but its hard and also pretty painful if you're saying to add it okay but
we need some whips!
