Is Master Mode Terraria Bad? #terraria
Terraria has a lot of different game modes, and master mode is one of them. But I’ve always found master mode to be very underwhelming. And here’s why. Master mode feels nearly identical to expert mode, with the only big difference being stat changes. There are pets, trophies, and a couple good mounts, but there’s not a single amazing master mode item as valuable as many of the expert mode exclusives. Boss AI is also the exact same. So, while they might have more health, it’s hardly a step up in terms of real difficulty. On top of this, the drop chance of rare items isn’t increased in master mode, which means that getting items like the rod of discord is only going to be more of a grind without a unique challenge. Journey, expert, and even classic mode have a lot of unique reasons to play them, but master mode does

Master mode is essentially expert mode plus. I feel like the devs should have done what they did with expert with master
The no extra stuff is the point…
The only thing I can think of is that at least the mastermode drops drop in Calamity Revengence too. Wich says nothing because that is a whole different experience alltogether.
I played mastermode once and propably never again, I don't see the fun of shooting non boss enemys 50% longer because funny HP
This is why I don't like it, take expert mode for example it have exclusive loot and not only bosses but even enemies have new attack (skeletons trow bones for example) but master is just buff for every stat
master mode is total garbage just play expert the only useful thing master mode provides is the extra accessory slot
2 extra accessories
master mode definitely needs to be changed in someway to make it more difficult. I still prefer over expert though.
I play master for the added accessory slot alone
Classic – easy
Expert – easy
Master – not hard, required
Relogic should make for the worthy seed a master mod and remake the seed adding something new
Master mode is supposed to just be harder and have a few cool things to make it feel more unique. It's for players who want a challenge, not a completely different game mode.
Prince and princess slime pets are reason enough for me to play master mode
the accessory slot is enough to make me deal with the annoying early game, once I hit the bosses things get easier
What unique reason does classic have that you were talking about?
Other difficulties are to easy, that's why i play
I like master because it’s less forgiving, expert is like easy mode and normal mode is baby difficulty once you get up to my playtime. Master is nice, difficult, has an extra accessory slot, and makes the game more enjoyable when youve already beat the game 50 times
Brain Spider. Enough said.
I like the trophy's. The extra slot is cool too
7 accessory slot is a great reason why you should play on master actually
“Very underwhelming” the obnoxious fortheworthy:
I beat Master Mode as my first playthrough and after I beat Moon Lord, I got bored of the game.
When I get a gaming PC, I'm going straight for Infernum.
Expert is too easy, plus I want to showcase my relics
i play master mode for the pets tbh
Then play legendary mode
Don’t say that, Re-logic might be listening and add “make Master mode better” to the tickets
hating just to hate tbh
master mode is if you find expert too easy, it’s literally only for difficulty, no quality of life (increased drops), no making the game significantly easier by giving the player items more OP than the expert mode items (because be fr, the expert mode items are mostly broken and it makes expert mode arguably easier than normal, so expert feels like an actua challenge even with the OP items and it doesn’t add more OP items to make the game trivialised)
it’s a simple difficulty increase, if you want the game to be an easy one, play journey
When master mode released it was huge
To be fair it was only added because people requested it so heavily be added, other wise I don’t think the devs would have added it
I basically exclusively play master mode expert mode, isn’t really that challenging. Master mode is nice because it makes it harder and doesn’t add new ways to make it easier again plus once you get used to that extra accessory slot it’s a pain in the ass to lose it.
Im only playing it for the golden boss trophies
The mounts are epic, I love specing into the black flag or some shit early
expert mode and the ones below are just wayyy too easy thats why i only play master mode which is more like a normal mode. Then legendary is the harder mode for a big challenge
my first master mode world I was able to take out the eye with a yoyo so do what you want with that info its not impressive ofc I was just doing a yoyo class I haven't played after that since tho I had some stuff going on
Yeah, But that's the point.
I just simply install a mod that allows me to get master mode stuff on expert mode, all the bonuses, without the excessive added stats
Master is too easy
Never played expert. So i cannot relate. Because i play master and/or Legendary only.
