[Shadowlord]

I started a new character, but I couldn't stand it, personally. Mostly the lack of cobalt shield, grapple (Though I acquired one of those, and silver armor, before going back to my main character and 1.0.5 came out), and rocket boots.

And then the rocket boots got nerfed and I haven't played since.

[Soulwynd]

I've never really liked the rocket boots, so it didn't affect me.

I'd rather run with the balloon instead of the boots.

[forsaken1111]

I didn't like em much either, useless items really. Balloon was handy without blowing all of my mana.

[SirAaronIII]

It was always rocket boots + CIAB + cobalt shield + hermes boots for me. That really only left 1 slot, which was usually either horseshoe or balloon.
 

[Wolf Tengu]

same ere.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Horseshoe, balloon, rocket boots, obsidian skull/lucky horseshoe, cobalt shield. The skull was for when I was in hell, otherwise it was the horseshoe.

[Darvi]

Rocket boots are the only permanent accessoire of mine. I keep switching between the skull, Hermes boots, horseshoes and health bracelets according to situation.

[Blargityblarg]

Horseshoe, boots, obsidian skull, balloon, cobalt shield. I don't think I can safely not wear my horseshoe now, so much of my travel is based on it.

Horseshoe, balloon, rocket boots, obsidian skull/lucky horseshoe, cobalt shield. The skull was for when I was in hell, otherwise it was the horseshoe.

STOP BEING ME

[FunctionZero]

Why does everyone like the Lucky Horseshoe so much? I can avoid all fall damage with the Cloud or Rocket Boots. And the extra slot is better used for a regeneration band, which is awesome.

[breadbocks]

I think a leveling system a-la cave story could work. It'd also allow for some interesting mechanics like vilethorn-spur and nemesis-sunfury. Actually... It could add massive opportunities for balancing.

[Darvi]

I'll never trade my Iron sword against that flail! You hear me? NEVER!

[nenjin]

I wish people would really start some mod attempts to do just that. Either I'm missing something, or the content-related Terraria mod scene has yet to even begin. One of the first mods I would try is some sort of leveling system.

[breadbocks]

The devs have been really restrictive about mods for some reason. The only thing they haven't esploded about so far is the beta-phase modloader.

[GlyphGryph]

Before rocket boot nerf, my accessories were usually Rocket Boots+ALL MANA RINGS (Plus full jungle set, of course)

Nowadays, it is Rocket Boots+Red Balloon+Ciab+DepthFinder+PocketWatch (Skull replacing one of the last two when going to fire town. I don't even know what armor I wear anymore, its not like it matters)

But basically, nerfing the boots have reduced options from two viable final accessory choices, one of which I was interested in, to one that I'm not.

Joy.

If they introduce a leveling system, I'm done with the game for good pretty much. Same for random modifiers. I've played enough games that with lazily slopped together mechanics or based on grind to have absolutely no interest in that. I already hate the "rare drops from enemies" system they have now, but tolerate it because frankly I couldn't give a damn about any of that stuff and its totally unneeded to enjoy the game.

No, what I really want is worse equipment options, and more variability among what picks/axes/hammers can break/destroy. That will open the doors to a lot of awesome scenarios and fun gameplay opportunities.

(Shovel that can only dig dirt/sand/mud, stone pick that works as it does now for ores but not for regular stone. Axes that can only destroy wood thats only 1 width thick or something. Just something, you know, to give a sense of escalation. I love the demonite or greater pick required for the good materials, and I want more of it!)
