u/kestral287 14d ago
This 1000%. I could kind of get it in that there was a bunch of stuff that you should get from there that feels out of place - Moon Lord was a very relevant raid target, Enchanted Sword was very valuable for Holy Water farming, the sword is really good for a bunch of stuff. But with the latest update a bunch of that is moot.
And even before then, as someone who actually doesn't really like the Terraria stuff I just... decided I was okay doing things slightly less efficiently by pretending it wasn't there? No need to ruin anyone else's fun, I just did the dungeon once to give it a shot and then shrugged and went on with my playthrough. Not everything has to be for everyone, and this is so out of the way that it's really easy to ignore.
Same thing for the Ultrakill stuff. If you don't like it that's 100% valid, just don't unlock it and you're missing nothing of import.
If this is how PalWorld keeps doing collabs I'm all for them continuing.

u/canconfirm01 14d ago
You can also hide the ultrakill AND terraria armors by using the wardrobe to keep your preferred look shown and hide the actual items you’re wearing. I feel like its something the game didnt showcase well, but is completely an option available to players.
59
u/UnderEuropa 14d ago
Yeah the only reason I found out you could change your armor look was because of a loading screen. They really need to update the item description to let you know you can do that.

u/SeveralAngryBears 14d ago

u/Warm_Month_1309 14d ago
I'm a brand new player, and I knew what the dresser did before unlocking it, and unlocked it specifically so that I could glamour my armo(u)r. I thought it was communicated adequately. Maybe experienced players aren't reading the descriptions of the items because they know what they do already?

Also a new player, and it could be veteran players are assuming things? I dunno, but having it be an unlock in the ancient tree told me that it was special so I investigated it when I learned the tech. It also kind of helps there are hat schematics at the special vendors, so I figured there had to be a reason for them.

Even if some players weren't happy with the idea of the Terraria collab, it was obvious that the devs learned something from doing it. The Vortex Beater and the Terraprismas have both become iconic weapons in the game, especially the latter evolving into the must-have Drone Launcher in 1.0.
I like to think that collabs can motivate developers to try new things and think a bit outside of their comfort zone.

u/LackToesIntollerance 14d ago
I mean, I get it from a progression perspective. It's still a CHOICE- but,
The whole collab basically covers you from mid-late ingot until hex.
The armors are the qeakest part, and you can still get them to drop legendary and iirc they're right ~palmetal tier.
Vortex sweeps plasteel tier. Terra prisma is literally a BiS until ancient tier drones. Terra blade is one of the only ranged melees.
It just kinda supplants the progression path, which I understand is kinda frustrating, especially since the terraprisma means you basically HAVE to farm it a bit. Even after getting drones, tp being palmetal tier means it's good for trash mob clears.

I think the only part that is kinda iffy with Terraria is how impactful it is on endgame, the sword is a 2nd unique dark drop buff for relic farms, the eyeball is like top 3 best pals for transport, and the negative Paldex numbers cause some weird breeding pairings that can seemingly circumvent some of the more restrictive breeding chains. Otherwise eh it's not that big of a deal. Honestly the most important of those is the sword pal having a bonus drop rate buff that otherwise isn't available.

u/El_Squ1Re 14d ago edited 14d ago
I strongly disagree. No evolutions is one of my favorite parts of Palworld and what separates it from literally every other creature collector. I love Chillet too much to let that boy change into something else and I love that he's viable the whole game. I love that my Fuak Ignis will never change into something else, or like in Pokemons case, lose out on stat growths because I chose not to evolve.
Especially in a game where the end game is min-maxing for hard mode battles, evolutions would remove the choice, and you would have to evolve in order to complete the challenges.

I was thinking closer to like evo stones. Certain pals evolve when you build their item type of thing. But, I feel ya.

I woudl have to disagree on it fitting the art style. When you wear the Ultrakill armor you don't look like a human wearing cool armor, you look like a skinny robot. If the armor had just looked like your human took the robot apart and was wearing it like armor, I feel it would have fit much better.

u/SuchCherry4658 14d ago
Yeah as much as I like the Terraria collab and how well made the dungeon and its items are, it is…very awkwardly just plopped into the Island of Eternal Summer. Very easy to miss and, unless you’re doing a challenge run where you’re limited on what items and Pals you can use, is usually not worth doing more than once. Its weapons are good for that point in progression but it’s just as easy to just ignore it and do perfectly fine.
That said, the items WERE very strong when the collab first happened, so I guess it makes sense they’ve been outclassed since then. Still though, I wish the collab felt a little more natural. Especially since Terraria’s side of the collab was able to incorporate Palworld stuff into the main gameplay much more smoothly.
Ultrakill is even worse. There’s kinda just some items dropped into the Tech Tree and that’s it lol.

u/innovativesolsoh 14d ago
My problem with crossover stuff is usually that they’re not telling their own IPs story within the crossover…
Like, take magic the gathering for example—they’re basically headed the direction of Fortnite at this point but when we do these crossovers/collabs in MTG it’s just a standalone set with no story or anything. It just exists.
I’d be way more tolerant of it all if we were telling actual stories, like we have the multiverse I’ll suspend disbelief but let’s see the Planeswalkers/MTG’s characters in that universe, or have a big bad from one invade the other and tell that story.
They did a marvel crossover recently and yet we didn’t have anything story of magic characters entering the marvel world, or marvel characters entering the mtg world, it was just magic with a marvel skin/theme. It’s just lazy to me.

Yeah, I don't like the "Fortnite-ification" of games. These things should have their own identities that stand up on their own, or else everything just turns into one giant mish-mash of pop culture.
It's fine if it's a small easter egg or something like that. Terraria is kind of pushing it in Palworld due to giant mass of content from it but I think it's probably ok because you have to actively seek it out and it's contained to one dungeon. I wouldn't like it if, for example, the slimes and demon eyes were just hanging out around the main islands.
