1.4.4

1.4.4👍 is an update that focuses on balance and quality-of-life changes, but also includes a significant amount of new content. It was released on September 28, 2022.

As the 1.4.4 update is highly focused on Quality of Life changes, there is naturally a substantial amount of overlap between some of these QoL changes and balance changes. It's impossible to draw an absolutely definitive line between the two categories, and so there are going to be some duplicate entries which are present both in this section and in the main changelog. Additionally, there are some particularly balance-impacting bugs which warrant being included in the balance section as well. For the sake of information being provided in the places where it is relevant, and given the significant length of the total changelog, we felt it was worth the extra clarity to include these changes in both sections of the changelog.

1.4.4 has the most extensive set of balance changes added in an update, even more so than 1.4 and 1.4.1; furthermore, it includes some of the most technically complicated changes made to weapons and other systems, including a number of reworks and other backend changes which alter the behavior of weapons beyond simple stat changes. Many of these changes delve into some of the more complex mechanics of Terraria's combat and weapon systems, and without taking all of these mechanics into play, some of the changes made may seem confusing, backwards, or unintuitive. - Leinfors

UI, Input, Text and Tooltip Issues

Global Mechanics Changes

 * Static Immunity Frames Last Hit
 * All piercing projectiles that use static immunity no longer apply immunity on their "final hit", if they are a projectile which expires after enough pierces. This has very little impact on 	previously existing static immunity projectiles, but is important for several projectiles which are being changed to use static instead of global. Global Immunity projectiles already do 		this, so this change was made to account for some projectiles which were being changed from global to static, so that they did not receive an accidental damage nerf.

 * Player buff/debuff maximum increased from 22 to 44.
 * Enemy debuff maximum increased from 5 to 20

 * Deerclops
 * Now takes up more enemy slots, reducing or outright eliminating enemy spawns during his fight


 * Wall of Flesh
 * Hungries no longer gain a 3rd stat bonus after 25% Wall of Flesh health. They will continue to use the 2nd stat bonus from 50% WoF health for the remainder of the fight.
 * Wall of Flesh's tongued debuff pull speed now scales with the boss's speed in Expert/Master, to prevent the Wall from moving faster than it pulls you in at the end of the fight


 * Queen Slime
 * Maximum flight speed and acceleration in Phase 2 have been reduced by about 15%
 * Queen Slime's minion projectile damage reduced from 30/80/150 to 30/68/120
 * These same projectiles now generate some light to be more visible at night
 * Now takes up more enemy slots, reducing or outright eliminating additional enemy spawns during his fight

 * Final Health values have increased from 50k/60k/76.5k to 60k/78k/99k
 * Now invincible immediately after being summoned, and during his phase transitions
 * Fixed an issue where Duke Fishron's Cthulhunado would sometimes instantly spawn on the player and hurt them, unavoidably. It should now spawn a certain distance below the player if there is no floor or platforms directly below, allowing the player time to avoid it
 * When Enraged, Duke Fishron is much faster, and fires more frequent and faster Cthulhunados


 * Empress of Light
 * Fixed a issue where Empress of Light would sometimes teleport directly on top of the player after an attack
 * Now takes up more MANY more enemy slots, reducing or outright eliminating enemy spawns during her fight.


 * Daytime Empress of Light, Skeletron, Skeletron Prime, and Dungeon Guardian
 * "Instant kill" attacks will no longer be avoided by Dodge procs such as Hallowed armor or Master Ninja Gear


 * Lunatic Cultist
 * Health scaling factor in Expert/Master increased from 1.25 to 1.5
 * Final Health values have increased from 32k/40k/51k to 32k/48k/61k

 * Will now always drop 2 non-identical weapons

Enemies, Threats and Invasions

 * Projectile Reflecting Enemies (Large Mimics, Selenians) (Nerf)
 * Reflected Projectiles now only deal half-damage to the player
 * Reflected Projectiles no longer scale and deal extra damage in Expert/Master mode.


 * Teleporting Enemies (Teleporting Casters, Chaos Elementals, and Nebula Floaters)
 * The protection radius around the player preventing them from teleporting directly onto you has been increased substantially
 * The game will now also take your speed and direction into account when you are moving, and will further attempt to prevent these enemies from spawning directly in your path without time to react. However, this system is not absolute and only gives some extra distance, so it is still possible to crash into a recently teleported enemy if you do not alter course or are moving very fast.
 * The protection radius around the player is even higher for Chaos Elementals and Nebula Floaters due to their not being stationary


 * Lifeform Analyzer Rarities
 * A number of enemies rare enough to show up on the Lifeform Analyzer have had their rarity levels changed to give proper priority based on enemies which they co-exist with. For example, Dye Beetles have been reduced to Rarity 1, so that any higher Rarity enemy will take priority on the display.
 * Voodoo Demons are now also listed on the Lifeform Analyzer


 * Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon
 * Pumpkin Moon can now go up to Wave 20. Wave point requirements for Waves 15-20 match Frost Moon.
 * Pumpkin Moon's wave composition has been completely rearranged to account for this.
 * Pumpkin Moon bosses are now capped in number, more closely resembling the behavior of Frost Moon bosses
 * Increased the number of enemy slots taken up by Mourning Wood and Pumpking, to be more in line with Frost Moon bosses, dramatically reducing how many can spawn at a time
 * All regular enemies in Pumpkin/Frost Moon now have low per-player Health scaling in Expert/Master multiplayer. The boss units already had scaling.
 * Pumpkin Moon trophies now drop using Frost Moon drop rates, instead of dropping from 100% of Wave 15 kills.
 * Pumpkin Moon boss drop-rate-by-wave multiplier has been reduced, though drops are still more common than Frost Moon levels. This is partly to account for having a higher wave cap, though drops are still slightly less common than before.
 * Both Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon's "expert drop bonus" modifier has been reduced slightly, with the base drop rates being increased by the same amount. The end result is that Classic mode drops are slightly more generous, while Expert drop rates stay the same. (This is after taking Pumpkin Moon's previous change into account)
 * Both Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon now receive a 2.5x point multiplier when playing in Master mode. Previously, they received a 2x multiplier in Expert, but no additional gain in Master.


 * Poltergeist
 * Can now fly freely into the air, not just on the ground
 * Health reduced from 2000 to 1250
 * Pumpkin Moon wave progression points increased from 8 to 10
 * Due to increased number present in the event, increased the kill count needed for a banner


 * Splinterling
 * Health increased from 900 to 1200
 * Due to increased number present in the event, increased the kill count needed for a banner
 * Reduced base Spooky Wood drop count due to increased numbers of Splinterlings killed per Pumpkin Moon. However, due to the faster point gain in Expert/Master, they now have bonus drop quantities in Expert and Master.


 * Hellhound
 * Health increased from 1200 to 1800
 * Pumpkin Moon wave progression points increased from 4 to 5
 * Due to increased number present in the event, increased the kill count needed for a banner


 * Headless Horseman
 * Health reduced from 10000 to 5000.

However, Larvae were not part of that cap, and so could spawn and evolve up into Hornets/Queens normally, eventually creating overwhelming numbers. After this change, Alien Larvae simply won't spawn on Queen death once this internal limit is reached.

 * Damage bonus is now additive with other ranged damage bonuses, instead of multiplicative. This will generally result in slightly lower overall damage, especially when you have high quantities of Ranged damage bonus.
 * Projectile speed bonus now also increases speed gained from ammo. Previously, it only increased the bow's projectile speed value.


 * Philosopher's Stone and Charm of Myths
 * Potion Sickness reduction is no longer "front-loaded" at the time of using the potion. Instead, the cooldown is dynamically updated whenever the accessory is equipped. Equipping it will reduce the remaining cooldown proportionally, and removing it will increase the remaining cooldown proportionally. As long as you are wearing it, your effective remaining cooldown is reduced. This means that it you wear it for half of a minute and then remove it, you will only reduce 7.5 seconds from the total cooldown instead of 15.
