The expert mode respawn is fine for groups of players fighting a boss, but the respawn time really shouldn't be longer for solo play. Most things despawn/run away anyway, and its not challenging just annoying and a waste of time.

Would the little baby also prefer a super uber easy mode where you have a Terrablade at the start and every enemy has one health? If you don't want to lose your money put in it a chest, And if you do lose your money: Start farming, Kill the Eye or something, It drops a few gold coins, Or at least it did in 1.2

Nah, it's easy enough to make a pirate map farm and then a risk free pirate farm. Then you just get a lucky coin, a slime staff and a jungle ocean mix to make like 25 plat an hour.

or you can pray to rngesus and hope pinky spawns, it doesn't do much damage in expert but has 300 hp and drops a few gold coins and pinky gel which is used to make bouncy bombs~

This isn't a qq about expert mode, I love the challenge it's about waiting so long to respawn if you are killed by normal mods.

"Expert mode respawn time is stupid." <----Thread title...so yeah...it is.

If you think the timer is too long, don't play expert mode. It's meant to be harsher.

The update notes also said "increased redrawn time for boss fights."

You like said "expert mode redrawn timer" expert mode itself is fin, havendied this much since my first hour playing :) Oh post planteria you've made me used to power.

Redrawn = auto correct.

Bui guess the simple solution is not dying.

What bothers me more about expert mode is that it is not really challenging in an intelligent way.

It's just every enemy now does 30-70damage to you at the very beginning of the game and every wepaon except for the Starfury are completely ineffective against them...

Seriously, that's not challenging, that's stupid. Variety in games is fun, especially in terraria, but it's not variety, if the only viable weapon is the starfury.

That's not increasing difficulty, that's power creeping.

Enemies do more damage with their special attacks, and armor is twice as effective. It's really not that bad. Before you could just tank enemies in the face no problem until at least hard mode.

Armor actually became less effective, because it was buffed less than the enemy attacks.
It sounds nice at first, but it aint so much fun if all early-game weapons do 2-9dmg and player armor won't even start becoming somewhat effective until it's almost normalmode-endgame.

To me that's not challenging, but just tedous, when more than 3enemies with at least two different AI types attack you, you just gotta run, because the damage is ridiculous.

I have not defeated any bosses yet and I am still curious about Expert-Mode endgame, but so far it just seems like power creep to me.

I just wonder, if there was no Starfury, how the hell would people get anything done?

Maybe with a ruby/diamond staff, but otherwise...

A lot of it was perhaps to stop people from exploring the entire overworld in the first few days.
Just look at how the desert was buffed, it used to be no threat at all, now it's worse than jungle.
