Acid rain and earthquakes just need some valuable/meaningful rewards attached to them, and while feedback would be negative, I think the rifts need to be activated when their respective boss is killed, so that the effects feel like the world progressing rather than the player being punished for enabling new content,
I do like that starting the event is optional; personally I’d wait to turn rifts on until after I kill Misery Toad, otherwise it would be trickier finding a good rainy time to use volt goat jelly.
Glad I’m not the only one who has a grudge against the deadly brightshades. You have to build a ton of farms outside of base to get them to stop spawning at your base’s farm every day (I mean, around three 1000 HP mobs with defense appearing at my base every day where normal armor is useless? No thanks)
While Taking Root's been a bit shaky for me, it eventually ended up pretty good imo. Terrors Below on the other hand, is something I'm currently mixed on. While in Taking Root, you get a lot of new items, all you get from the Shadow Plinth is a new armor set, a scythe (that is admittedly really cool) and an umbrella. The umbrella seems redundant imo because of the void set for Acid Rain + the fact it doesn't give any wetness. And for normal Summer and Rain protection, I'd just use the Eyebrella. The scythe is really cool. It is sort of just two tools merged into one, but I like it. I know that anything is bound to change, but in TR, all Klei really seemed to change was the pre-existing tools, which worries me that we wont get anything new. There also seems to be a bit of an incentive to fight CC first over FW now, which is concerning considering CC's questline takes awhile to do. The Scrapbook's nice, though it feels like something that'd be added in a month QOL update. Just wish it was less intrusive, like you said. Regardless, *the fact you can now sit on Ancient Chairs still makes this a 8/10 update*
Yeah wish they used the in-game style for her over the animation style, they have a track record of tweaking art during beta or for release so they probably will do some changes for her, hopefully.
I actually like the acid rain. Wetness is a lot harder to manage than health, and the acid rain opens the possibility of caving during the spring (something that I've totally avoided).
I like environmental dangers. I'd even be down with things like late game periodic blizzards that disable structures and slow uncovered players, with structures needing to be shovelled out of snow or waiting until spring when the snow melts. Maybe downpours and flooding in spring as well, wind storms in fall without any effects besides maybe blowing items and or the player around, maybe with a way to prevent all effects in areas where blown, flooded, or snowed in things aren't wanted. I liked those effects in shipwrecked. Expansion in the late game weather would be cool.
I was really hoping for more boss reworks in this update chain, ever since ancient guardian got changed i was hoping that other bosses such as beequeen and crab king would be changed but they just stopped at guardian.
Well, ignoring that the Planar Mechanics are still an atrocity against man kind, I do have some thoughts on all this myself. First, don't forget that Dreadstone armor is available before the rifts, and the Nightmare Werepig itself is required to open them in the first place. So Planar Damage is 100% available before nightshades, and pretty much required if you want to survive the vore attack. Also, your structures are in fact NOT safe. Why? Because Klei didn't actually code them to not fall on structures, they added a check to not drop them if the player is near a structure. This means that if you're walking towards your base when the earthquake starts, it's 100% possible for one to spawn just far enough away from you to land on your base. So not only did Klei take the laziest way out on dealing with boulders, they also did it in such a bandaid-way that it doesn't even work properly. I'd also say it feels like they took way to hard of a left turn in response to criticism towards the acid rain. Before there was atleast a reason for the umbralla to exist. But now the shadow set protects you from it, and because acid rain doesn't build wetness, you can just keep the hat or body slot equipped at all times and just... not worry about it. It's the monkey raids all over again, where they added a bad mechanic, and instead of making it not suck, they just brushed it under the rug.
A few things you missed about acid rain: (that I'm sure you know by now) 1. It buffs batilisks to do more damage and doubles their drop rates (it also adds a chance to drop nitre) 2. It damages durability of any equipped item that offers wetness protection. 3. It makes Wormwood bloom...for some reason.
They seem to not like boulder idea too much cause they patched beta to make them not fall on structures, but, just in general, they don't feel like a real treat, more like an annoyance also how one person mentioned, Wanda = acid rain is absolute death cause she can't heal it up. HONESTLY i just think caves should have both normal rains and acid rains, for me it doesn't make sence that it just constant acid rains now (they are really destructive, killing wildlife and stripping trees off leaves, but they are not constant), and acid rains could be expected with rainometer finally making it useful. It will make long underground trips somewhat more dangerous or interesting if there is more to it then just damage.
Jalapeños are pretty good. I remember when I was young my brothers convinced me to eat a hot pepper (possibly jalapeño) not realising it was spicy...good times.
I'd actually love to see a lunar aligned version of the alarming clock for Wanda, that way Wanda can benefit from lunar damage boosts as well. I am ofc a Wanda main XD
The new scythe weapon is a shadow weapon for Wanda. It does 120 max ramp up with set and old. And it rivals the alarming clock. It has less range but better dps. And can't be refueled.
I knew it! Everyone said that taking root items were useless! But they are now the best items in the game! Tbh. Currently brightshade bombs and the staff are really worth it to invest in, bombs can instakill the budget shadow pieces when fired correctly, while the staff is really safe to use against them and it isn't that tedious either. However, people seem to forget that celestial champion really changes the world. And I'm not talking about the rift, I'm talking about the moon storms. "But the moon storms are before celestial champion" yea I know, but tell me what do you do after you summon the moon storms? Because if you just chill without rushing to celestial champion, I don't believe you. So with the moon storms, I think it was time for FW to do something new to the world.
For the record I will sometimes chill with the moonstorms up. One of my favorite things to do in Summer is read rain books and catch oasis fireflies, and the moonstorms make it real easy to do.
Difference is that the moonstorms stop when you kill CC, and they're frankly only a minor inconvenience at best unless you're Woodie (in which they can either be a godsend or a nightmare). The cave's change is permanent and required for further progress, so until they inevitably add a way to turn it off you're stuck with your caves being made considerably less usable on top of enforcing a massive penalty for anyone else in the server who isn't able to engage with that content themselves yet.
I wonder if you'll be able to keep some of the scrapbook entries like favorited so you don't have to search them up all the time if you want specific information.
I'm interested to see with the new rifts if an automatic rift enabled world would let Wilson potentially get some early Dreadstone armor. I know it's not the best armor, but it's a potentially a fun way to get regenerating armor for clearing out the ruins and such.
You’d still need the blueprints from Nightmare Pig so not sure you’d get the armor any faster than rushing ruins and NW. it would be really nice to get the void gear for lunar bosses though.
My only problem with how this update is the fact that it kinda made the lunar rifts look like a joke compared to the changes the shadows bring loke maybe the linar rifts can have their own extra consequences too like maybe mini lunar storms or lunar bird invasions ? Or maybe perma horror hounds or some new type of lunar hound in the hound waves
I'm really happy that they're adding the scrapbook. No matter how much I watch experienced players, I never know what to do on my own because my brain temporarily deletes the info. I always describe it as "the game that I can only watch smart people play because I'm too stupid to remember anything". Not the game's fault by any means, it's just how it is :) It's impossible to expect everyone to be good at every game. (And I know everyone else is saying it, but future Jazzy trying to get past Jazzy to cooperate is great.)
Same with the brightshade stuff, I still don't feel like there's a place for most of the new gear. Yeah, the scythe is an exception, but everything else doesn't feel like it's worth the large amount of effort needed to get it in the first place.
acid rain sounds like a terrible addition. it really just makes moggles/mining hat less viable, which is annoying in the ruins, but youre still gunna have those in your inventory anyways, plus now you need acid protection, just another thing to clog up inventory. now how are you supposed to do literally anything when theres monkeys around. monkeys to steal your lantern, slurpers to steal your headgear. im probably just going to disable acid rain altogether
just rewatched this and realized the new umbrella is a hand item, but the idea is still the same. just more garbage in the inventory, annoying walk around methods of lighting/armor. i do enjoy the "spirit" of it though, that every upside has a downside, but this is just annoying. i have a lot of experience in the game, but clearing the ruins and other late game cave activities is still a pretty big endeavor for me, considering that i dont have any friends that play that are capable of soloing deerclops or Dfly
Man, this new Terraria crossover is amazing! Can't wait for Moon Lord to get added with all these rifts! Jokes aside, I think the update is great too, and I'm glad that my Ancient Pseudo Science Station won't get destroyed because I gave Charlie Dreadstone for the Scythe. Also, they need to add a basic and golden Scythe now.
Wouldn't make sense to add those because it's not a basic tool the only tool they are actually missing would probably be a golden hammer and still it probably wouldn't make sense
I hate acid rain. I hate that areas of the game become so hostile. It’s the same problem I have with the space plants. I’m fine if it’s a threat coming after me, or a threat in a dangerous area, but when it’s a threat that I summon but randomly appears on my base, that sucks.
Love the conversation with past and future :D and telling ppl it got patched multiple times so they dont get bamboozled if they didnt pay attention the first time: U didnt record the first take for nothing We get extra entertainment And ppl dont get confused winwin❤
I love how jazzy is complaining about the boulders but other jazzy is trying to tell him they patch it and made them not spawn new structures
Yesterday Jazzy never listens.

Charlie looks slightly goofy in the animation imo
Real
For me it’s weird seeing her in the game at all.
Yeah wish they used the in-game style for her over the animation style, they have a track record of tweaking art during beta or for release so they probably will do some changes for her, hopefully.
She looks off but I can't really say why. Her proportions look like a middle ground between DS NPC Maxwell and the survivors.
Yeah I cant say what it is but it is off. NPC Maxwell in ds looked fantastic so idk what's up here
I actually like the acid rain. Wetness is a lot harder to manage than health, and the acid rain opens the possibility of caving during the spring (something that I've totally avoided).
Ruins clearing in Spring? YES!

Well that's just Uncompromising Mode.
Well, the winter stuff atleast.
I was really hoping for more boss reworks in this update chain, ever since ancient guardian got changed i was hoping that other bosses such as beequeen and crab king would be changed but they just stopped at guardian.
They did change deerclops, not a major change but still a change to the boss
...Yeah. They actually totally should do that. I would love to see a less-BS Bee Queen.

Local streamer tourtures self in new spicy hot take video

I just really want refillable bright shade tools i know this update is about the shadows but it would really cool. Also uh pillars

Informative entertainment...
Uniquely exquisite material by thee...
Best regards!
I lately came back to my wurt world and killed celestial champion, got some brightshade gear and now I'm just waiting for the update.
- 20 sanity by eating that.
At least the Boulders aren't deconstructive criticism anymore
How about fighting in the caves during acid rain ?
Void armor now prevents acid damage so that might be the new go-to late-game cave armor. I can't wait to try this set out in the ruins!
they should make boulders spawn only over structures even offscreen so it's predictable but you still can't do anything about it and it's funny
acid rain sounds like a terrible addition. it really just makes moggles/mining hat less viable, which is annoying in the ruins, but youre still gunna have those in your inventory anyways, plus now you need acid protection, just another thing to clog up inventory. now how are you supposed to do literally anything when theres monkeys around. monkeys to steal your lantern, slurpers to steal your headgear. im probably just going to disable acid rain altogether

I still wonder why they added the one option of something that cannot be undone in a story line before the other side of it

You can disable the scrapbook notification now I think
Plus old Wanda doesn’t lose sanity form void gear anymore
@@placeholderdoe She definitely still does. I asked V2C about it, that's probably coming in the next hotfix.
@@JazzysGames someone told me that was fixed in the latest hot fix, sorry!
That is really nice if we can disable the notifications, hadn’t noticed.
This was a very interesting, very wet review of the beta content and i can't wait to see whats coming next for dst ❤
Can someone please explain what is charlie doing by fuelweaver?
I hate acid rain. I hate that areas of the game become so hostile. It’s the same problem I have with the space plants. I’m fine if it’s a threat coming after me, or a threat in a dangerous area, but when it’s a threat that I summon but randomly appears on my base, that sucks.
being able to sit on chairs= S tier update 🤣
tho really, being able to use the chair as a non flammable gate is pog
I saw a mod that disables the notifications from the scrap book
All hail the Wickerpedia!
Lol, you are too funny. Also, had some 2x Ramen yesterday so im loving the spicy sweat.
Buldak 2x? I’m good but not that good.
Can Wickerbottom use her book to stop acid rain??
There is a new sound for items when was that added
Idk why but once again shadoe side of content is actually much more fun and engaging than the awful lunar side content in general
Love the conversation with past and future :D and telling ppl it got patched multiple times so they dont get bamboozled if they didnt pay attention the first time:
U didnt record the first take for nothing
We get extra entertainment
And ppl dont get confused winwin❤
What does planar damage mean? does that get affected by modifiers like Wigfrid or mighty Wolfgang?
No planar damage is straight up damage that can't be reduced by armor or multiplied by character modifiers
Idk this feels like a mod
This is good content.
Jazzy more video plase
y u do this 2 your self.
