hardcore. is the solution to the fake player problem..

[Shinden]

theres a strange concept in this community: "fake" players, so to say. players that cant lose. players that arent touching the real game. players that dont fail a run. never. leading to minimal improvement, if any.
now, depending on your perspective, this may or may not need solving.. but progress is always better than remaining still, so my advice would be...
choose hardcore instead! the next character you make, make it hardcore. set a goal to survive for 2 hours. then 8, and so on. and as you experience loss.. prioritizing survival will become the optional thing to do. you will come up with new strats and skills. so why not do it?

Regarding the "why not do it?": I enjoy having a good time with my mate when playing, Slowly building up and progressing. Hardcore would be a hinderance here. If i won't improve that much - who cares? Me not, at least.

Half the players here seem to still beg for items and are so oblivious they have no idea they could've just downloaded a map with all the items.

And you expect them to play the game on hardcore.

Bruh. Wrong game.

I don't know if you've played master mode but it already BS as is in the game with that difficulty adding hardcore to that experience is just asking to quit the game

Ever heard of Sturgeon's Law? How 90% of everything is crud (reportedly the version he actually said)? Yeah, "everything" includes people, and by extension Terraria players.

About your topic on improving, I think it is a valid point, but it only works for people who know the game well. If you're decent to good, and want to go beyond, maybe this post is true, but for a new player or just a less skilled one who just picked up the game, it's best for them to play on softcore (aka classic), as they will never get a chance to learn if they just die and loose their character less than an hour in.

Point is: If you're new, this will just hinder, halt, or slow the learning process, but if you're experienced, this may actually help.

I personally still play on softcore for a different reason. It's stressful to have to worry about survival. Sure it may be not that hard, but it means I can't just relax, mess around, and have fun, because if I die to some geyser I put at spawn in my friends world, I loose my character. Same goes for him. (Although my friend is new and the first point does kinda apply)

i used to relax and mess around on hardcore all the time... its not like hardcore makes enemies attack you 24/7, there are still plenty of safe situations.

you're downplaying the difficulty and not everyone has all the time in the world to beat and try to find out the whats the best way to survive, there's no way I believe you that when you played through master mode the first few times you didn't find it a bit irritating. But I love the game for that it can kick my ass and then eventually it becomes my turn to push the game back

irritating? nah. i beat it in a few days in july 2020 after i had quit the game for over a month. and when i beat it i was also killing people in pvp daily on a hardcore character which never ended up dying... and playing 2 other zelda games at the same time... and while reading harry potter LMFAO
i didnt find it irritating, i found it easy and i made quick work of it.
im not downplaying ♥♥♥♥. the reason i was able to beat it so easily was because i was already a hardcore player. so maybe you guys should try to play some permadeath for once and maybe you'll start to improve...

You know, if you were humble people would be more likely to actually believe you, because right now, I really don't.
