World New Gamemode: Normal Mode

This was inspired by this challenge thread with a few tweaks.

As for the mode itself, it’s straightforward: The player can only use Normal and Quest Items. That’s it. Unlike the original challenge, you can use powders, mana and skill potions (all crafted items, including consumables, are still excluded however).

When you play with Craftsman mode and Normal mode active, you can only use crafted and Quest items as before (including crafted consumables), but you’re unable to use any ingredients or any tier of material above 1 for crafting. That way, you can still play with all challenge modes together: HUINCH.

Is this ass? Yes. But that’s what challenge modes are for, and it would fit well with the other modes. The main reason why it should be a challenge mode is so players can have concrete evidence they completed the challenge. And given that it’s easy to implement and it’s been awhile since we’ve gotten a new gamemode, I figured it would be a nice extra challenge.

 

You don't need a gamemode to do this, so I don't think it's worth the time to add or deserving of another challenge slot. This torture can be self inflicted without any development.

 

deusphage hitting the bullseye

 

I mean craftsman (and hardcore) would work without being officially implemented. But yea this doesnt really need to be added

 

hardcore does make you lose all your stuff whenever you die, doesn't it (it's not just the death tracker)

ironman (normal) can be self-inflicted (ultimate cannot)

disagree but only because HUINCH sounds impossible (it's also a terrible acronym)

 

Ironman was one of the first game modes added though

 

This applies to every gamemode in the game except Hunted and technically Ultimate Ironman (cause of the pouch mechanics) but I do agree this isn't really worth developing, it's just craftsman but with normal items instead of crafted items

 

Ok, but Craftsman was implemented as one of the first gamemodes. I hate when people continually bring this up because it isn't application to adding new gamemodes.
If we're going to spend the time adding a new gamemode, it should be unique and be something a player can't just self impose on themselves, like only using specific items.

 

Yeah this suggestion isn’t my best… People still say Craftsman is better than this suggestion because at least you can still have build customization. And I have to agree with them.

I’ll leave this thread open regardless, but I’m going to revive and focus on my other Gamemode thread instead.

 

ppl are NOT beating my cracked iron armor + oak wood spear combo at lv105 lots dps trustt

 

that's actually not a bad idea, i'd love to see it in game

 

Idk it got more shot down than a Chinese spy balloon and given how you can just wear only normal items in game, there’s really not much else to it. Appreciate it though.
