I like the new rocket boots too. It's much easier this way with instant recharge time. Just fly, fly, hit something with grapple, immediate release, fly, fly, repeat. The acceleration is so much faster and the total distance covered in those 3 seconds is much higher too.

It's actually far more practical than the old rocket boots I found. The only way the old rocket boots would have been better would have been if you had 10,000 mana or something.

Well, recall that those of us who liked the old rocket boots usually had full jungle set (halves mana cost, doubles regen) + 4x Mana Regen rings + Full mana.

The new ones work quite well with my Skyway Express sling-road though. (very tip top of the map, add a ceiling - use boots+grappling hook to ZOOOOOOM)

I need to figure out how to grapple boost...

I'd make my cross-world tunnel work even better!

[SirAaronIII]

Basically, you just grapple onto a block ahead of you while holding down A or D (depends which direction you're going obviously) and then press Space before you reach that block. If you do it right, you'll retain the speed from the grappling.

Yep Terraria is quickly becoming a game that is more fun the less you play (like Minecraft)

Meh, I'm actually still having fun with Terraria. Will it become the same as Minecraft to me? Possibly, but not yet!

Also, Starfury MP reduced and damage near doubled? And I thought it was awesome for bosses before! What's with all your hate of Starfury? It kills anything on the surface easy as cake!

I don't mean Terraria is bad. Many people have said the exact same thing I said in different words. Basically the less you play the more additions will be added in the mean time.

Anyhow Starfury wasn't good for bosses either... Its popularity for bosses astounds me.

I for one hate the new boots. They simply aren't useful. I had a CiaB for short rises. Now I have to spend god only knows how long grinding for the stuff for grav pots so I can ascend when I need to.

[GlyphGryph]

Now, now, do you hate the new boots or hate not having the old boots. Very important difference!

[Wolf Tengu]

Well not really.
I for one hate the new boots for not being the old boots.

The new boots are basically a tier 2 CiaB

[Duke 2.0]

 I didn't like the old boots. This may or may not be due to either forgetting to descend before my mana ran out and falling to my death or spending all the boosts on small jumps and thinking how much more useful everywhere either the balloon or cloud in a bottle are. And the actual flight mechanics never amazed me, so w/e about them. Drama llama over nothin' to me.

 Boomerangs still feel... strong. Yeah I know flails and stuff were better at the highest tier blah blah phoenix gun owned whatever blah blah, boomerangs are still where it's at.

[GlyphGryph]

Duke, old boots were kind of crappy unless you specifically kitted out for them, which suddenly made them a bunch of fun.

And yeah, if you look at the new boots as an improved CiaB that can be used WITH the CiaB, then they are pretty cool.

[Neonivek]

Anyhow it isn't that the creator likes Nerfing

It is that when Terraria first came out it seemed to be made as IF that was all there was.

In order for the game to really continue it needs to balance things out so that variety re-enters the fray.

[Wolf Tengu]

But the baloon boosted your height with the old boots too...

[KaelGotDwarves]

But before if you were kitted out with just Rocket Boots, you didn't need any other jump related item if you were smart about and you could still fly a damn long time with jungle suit.

You could have 4 whatever you wanted in the accessory slots.

It's more "balanced" now but still, it was nice having the ridiculous flight times of before. It was just abused so much though through hacking mana.

I mean, hell, the boots are still way more useful than cloud in a bottle or the balloon by itself.

[Neonivek]

Apperantly the new boots has less to do with balance and more that they want magic users to be able to use the boots too.
