Master Mode Is Bad

[zed]

Master Mode feels like it just piggy-backs on the success of Expert Mode. Expert Mode is fun and challenging, but Master Mode is Expert Mode but with bloated stats. And your rewards are some trophies, pets, and a few mounts. Give me a good reason to play Master Mode. (Other than the black spot, I've been told that by 3 different people and I already explained why it's not that good)

In my opinion, Master Mode should've expanded on Expert Mode by doing something other than bloating stats. Master Mode should've given bosses more of a moveset upgrade and reward you with good loot and not just trophies and pets.

Only good for traversing the map, ♥♥♥♥ turning, may cause your boss to despawn if you go too fast.

If "Black Spot" is your only response, shut the ♥♥♥♥ up, I already told you why it's not that good.

Master mode is not for veterans it's for the brave

Ignore it and play FTW to show what you got.
Or don't.

Master mode was made for bragging rights for the elitist players who keep calling everything too easy. If they started giving better item drops to make your character more powerful to scale with the difficulty, it would defeat the idea that was supposed to be master mode. It was made to brag you did it and be more difficult without extra rewards to make you more powerful. Again Master mode is all about the bragging rights.

...What you just described is the exact thing that Master mode is supposed to be. Bloated stats over expert mode. You knew that, right? I mean, you have a Doom icon, I figured you would know what a higher difficulty means.

Master Mode is Expert Mode with even higher stats, they don't expand on what made Expert Mode great: The good loot and new challenges. Example: In Expert, EoC dashing like a maniac was something new, and you are rewarded with something that is basically a Pre-Hardmode side-grade to the Master Ninja Gear.

Yeah, it's pretty much just a completionist difficulty more than anything, it's not something that's designed to be clever or fun, it's really, really blunt.

Which is a bad thing, as you've discovered. It's lazy game design. There's no reason to play it unless you either:

A. Want to inflate your massive ego
B. Want the Black Spot, which IMO just makes the game ridiculously easy and not fun to play, ironic since it's exclusive to what's supposed to be the hardest difficulty

Both of which you have stated you don't care about.

Why are you telling me to play another game? I can completely ignore master mode and have fun in Terraria, I am just expressing my distaste for it and how it could be more.

I agree, bloated stats and no AI changes really make master mode feel like an afterthought and unfinished. If Relogic put all the effort they put into the dumbass golf minigame into master mode it would be ten times better. New AI, actual rewards instead of cosmetics and a few mounts, and give the lunatic cultist a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ expert drop.

Agreed, if that were the case and stats were less bloated it'd be extremely fun to play.
