Yeah, alright, I agree that the torch luck thing is pretty dumb. I've been browsing the Terraria subreddit and found this 'lovely' 'gem' of a comment (which also got downvoted to hell).quote:It's not that dramatic, it takes a LOT of luck one way or the other to have any significant impact. The stat is actually pretty underpowered and only serves to change up RNG in a superstitious way. What kind of mad man puts regular torches in the ice biome anyway?  'pretty underpowered' ''superstitious way'. 20% reduction in drops is not 'superstitious'.

Where is the "20% drop rate decrease" number even coming from? My interpretation of it from reading the wiki fits with:Samopsa posted:So, if you're looking for a drop that normally occurs in 10% of the cases, your -0.1 luck stat will lead to 10% chance of halving that chance. ... which is hardly worth the shitfit some people seem to be throwing over it. I've played about 20 hours since the update dropped, most of that on Master/Hardcore and I haven't felt like I've been getting a low amount of drops at all despite pretty much only using regular torches.

Who cares about drops, getting disadvantage on all damage rolls from an improperly lit boss arena sucks.

Also someone else said "And the game checks PER FRAME to see what your luck is, making it laggy as hell." ... is that true? Might be a reason for some of the bad multiplayer performance sometimes...

a .5% reduction of 10% is not a .5% reduction, it is a 5% reduction

Oh my god. Are you people doing the classic beginner math mistake where you read 0.05% as the same as 5%? It's the devs' faults for not understanding just how bad most players are at understanding numbers. In the above analysis, the modifiers that come from luck seem small enough to only matter to people who are on pace to set a world speed record. Seconding the question of where the number "one in five" came from as well

Dumb Lowtax posted:Seconding the question of where the number "one in five" came from as well the poster just above says that it's 4x greater in the ice zone due to a bug, in which case then yeah that's a 20% reduction on a 10% rate

The White Dragon posted:the poster just above says that it's 4x greater in the ice zone due to a bug, in which case then yeah that's a 20% reduction on a 10% rate no that's a misconception. Normal torches in the ice biome confer a -2 to the luck modifier. (see: https://terraria.gamepedia.com/Luck) If your luck modifier is -2 or lower, your actual luck stat will be -0.3. There's a (-100 * luck)% chance that a roll is halved when it is affected by luck. That's -100*-0.3 = 30% chance of a halved roll. So, if something has a chance of 10% (for instance a semi-rare drop), now it will have a chance of ( 7*10% + 3*5% )/10 = 8.5%. That's a reduction of 1.5 percentage points (or a 15% lower chance of getting the drop compared to neutral luck). It also affects damage rolls, and the largest effect it can have (the absolute worst case scenario) is a 5% drop in DPS. So, in the absolute worst cases imaginable you're looking at a 5% drop in damage and taking a couple of minutes extra to find the stuff you want.

what's the opposite side? do you get a boost for good luck, and is it the same % up?

I've got a poo poo ton of hours in this but I barely remember anything besides the fact the early game can be tedious. Thus, I started under journey mode and the starter poo poo is appreciated but goddamn I remember being much, much faster at movement. Is there a pair of boots I need to craft? I remember hooks being necessary eventually...

Even if it was a 0.000001% reduction, does it have ANY reason to exist as a mechanic besides Redigit being mad at people using the wrong colored torches? If not, then it's a bad mechanic and should be removed.

For you other journey mode players, Are you researching everything or only the things you intend to duplicate or need in the future? I've been keeping my research pretty basic so far (metal bars, gems, pylons, wood, stars) but wonder if I should just fill it out and use the filters instead.

Looks like most going for the full research then but at least I'm not alone  Trying to work on building out my potion research, but need to grow more herbs first to make more potions, and at that point not sure if I should just research the lot of it. It did give me a reason to update my forest base with a secret underground grow room.

I definitely research everything because I have always been a complete hoarder when playing Terraria and not needing to have dozens of chests full of random crap sitting around makes the game experience so much more pleasant to me.

Or find two herb bags and research those and open them until you have enough to research the herbs and skip bothering to grow anything!

it's nice being able to build things and make them look nice purely for the purpose of looking nice instead of having to give a poo poo about space for chests and whatnot. like i want to make a small, underground city to house some npcs and i'm going to plant a bunch of gem trees to make it look pretty. not because i want/need more gems.
