Constant solar eclipses

[Peak Imouto]

Have they increased the chance of solar eclipse? Ever since I entered hardmode, I have had Solar Eclises happen every other night+day. Sometimes two in a row. Incredibly annoying when I already have everything from the eclipses.

It especially seem to happen as a direct result of other events. After every martian madness, frost, pumpkin and moon lord there is a Solar Eclipse. They used to be rare.

Did they over compensate when people complained about the rarity, or is it a bug? This is getting silly. I have had 12 Solar Eclipses happen since yesterday.

On expert mode (events happen more frequent) other then that you get unlucky.. AND the rate of them IS high but 12 eclipse since ysterday? thats a lot

[Peak Imouto]

It's on standard. And yes, 12 eclipses is a lot. At this point regular days are almost more rare than solar eclipses xD

Yeah I had twice 2 solar eclipses in a row; I think it's only luck but wten I was playing on Terraria 1.2.4.1 it was so rare and here it's just normal ;p

They really need to rework the system to add proper event cooldowns. Events which can spawn from consumables shouldn't occur more than once every 20 days or so naturally unless the player is at a point where those events are still relevent. And even when they are relevent, there should still be several days between them before they can occur again naturally. The non-stop of hardmode events doesn't make things harder, it only makes it more annoying since they eventally stop being a challenge, but still end up being something you have to fight against.

i get way too many martian events
had a martian event thati wasnt ready for yet that spawned a ufo every time the last one killed me and it took for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ever, then at about 92% it turned into a blood moon as well

At least you can prevent the martian madness event by shooting down the scout UFO. That means you are more in control than when it comes to Bloodmoon and Solar Eclipse etc.

I once had a Solar Eclipse, Martian Madness (from literally 12 UFO's that spawned one after another, I said f*** it), Blood Moon, then Slime Rain all in a row.

OK. Now I know it's bugged. It hasnt been an ingame day without an event since forever. Ugh. Every night it's either Solar Eclipse or Bloodmoon. During the day it's invasions (Pirate and Goblin) and now it's Slime King? Wtf?

I have the same problem, mate. Today i'm spending too much of my time, fighting with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mothrons & reapers, instead of building castle of my dreams. Developers should decrease chances of hardmode events, in my humble opinion...:dswilson:

Exactly. I want to start building my dwelling too. I still have the wood tower with NPC houses. I need to build something with a bit more umph.. But when will I do that? All these events...

I'm assuming this isn't fixed yet, more than a year after this thread...I'm getting solar eclipses constantly. I'm at my sixth in a row right now. I'm already getting tired of it...

I actually recently did a test

I am getting Rain basically 2.7 hours out of a three hour play session
I can agree it needs a tweak, Not that rain is bad, it just seems ununsal. ANd alot of my nights are blood moons.

Ye, still around. Don't know how many solar eclipses I've had since I started this thread... At least I got a proper dwelling for my NPCs somehow.
