I don't have a witty starter for this one but:
Buff/move the Sand Sharknado Staff to somewhere around post-Providence, and buff the Tempest Staff accordingly.

❔
To give some separation between these two weapons. Also to give the Tempest Staff in particular some more use on its own merit, as currently it is never used over the more powerful Sand Sharknado Staff of the same tier.
Why post-Provi specifically, you ask? Because while yes, the Profaned Soul Artifact is nice, summoner experiences a notable lack of options that starts becoming very apparent at this particular tier --- you only get Elemental Axes, the Stardust Dragon, and maybe Energy Staff until Signus --- and moving the Sand Sharknado Staff to around this point would help summoners looking for a bit more variety in their gameplay going into the Sentinels and Bloodstone farming.

Add a True Melee weapon that is viable versus SCal.

#

I get that this may be a bit hard to program, but hear me out. Right now your only option (while it is not a good one) versus SCal as a true melee character is the Cosmic Discharge, which is only available in Rev+ as it is DoG's Legendary drop. Murasama does nothing because it has basically no range (like 2 tiles away from the character at max). Although the Cosmic Discharge is decent versus the Brimstone Hearts (in fact it performs better than Murasama), the problem with it is that you cannot hit SCal unless she is in her Charge or Mobile attack patterns, and even within those attack patterns it is very easy to get hit, plus it doesn't hit hard enough when you land a few strikes on her. Against the her brothers though, this gets a thousand times worse because not only are they farther away from the player, but they never come closer to the player, so the only way the player can damage them with true melee is to use a portal gun (and likely take damage doing so because you won't know where the projectiles are offscreen) or use Normality Relocator (RoD doesn't work because it interferes with the weapons' useTime) and immediately strike your target. You can only do this every 6 seconds at max because of Chaos State, which makes this phase take an eternity. With these two major problems in mind in a true melee character's perspective, this causes the fight to last well over 20 minutes. Again, I understand that weapons at Auric tier can take a lot of time to program, but this is MUCH NEEDED for true melee in order for a complete playthrough to become much more achievable and significantly less infuriating and tedious. Plus, Calamity has been trying to make True Melee feel relevant with lots of ways of buffing melee weapons of that type, mainly the Counter Scarf, the Hide of Astrum Deus, the Bloodflare and Silva Melee armor sets, and many more.

Revamp Rogue consumable weapons (specifically, the ones crafted from like, just one bar of something) to make them more mechanically interesting.

❔ Rogue weapons, as they currently are, really have a bias in favor of nonconsumable weapons; it's easy to see why. They tend to be more interesting on average, they can have modifiers, and you don't have to worry about running out, among other things. I know i never used the Crystal Piercers, or the Gel Darts; they didn't have anything really unique, and just plain weren't as good as the nonconsumables. Therefore, they're not really a great alternative, so I personally found that I could just, like.. not use them. I think that's a shame, therefore, I think it might be good to have some more interesting mechanics for these consumable weapons.

Make Cobalt Sword have a faster swing speed because its essentially the upgraded muramasa in looks and damage so the speed should match up as well. Can also be a pretty viable pre-mech sword for being the fastest with a good damage output, such as true-melee.

Add an armor set somewhere between Victide and Aerospec

For those who choose to use only Calamity armors during their playthroughs, I feel there’s a bit of a progression gap between these two sets. One is typically obtained from defeating the Desert Scourge, while the next isn’t obtained until defeating the Hive Mind/Perforators. This armor could possibly obtained from Crabulon, since its current drops aren’t all that interesting.

Change the Ultra Liquidator's recipe to include the everglade spray
Right now, the everglade spray is the indirect upgrade to the golden shower. I think it would be more fitting if the liquidator used the everglade spray instead of the golden shower, as it would be a more logical upgrade from shower > spray > liquidator.

Astrum Deus spawn/death messages

Since Astrum Deus are referred to in plural on the wiki and they spawn as a bunch, I think it'd only make sense for the message that appears when they're summoned to just say "Astrum Deus have awoken" instead of a million "Astrum Deus has awoken" to reduce the chat spam. Likewise, you could change the death message to "Astrum Deus have been defeated"

make abyss layer 4 have little volcanoes or other volcanic activity, and make the shrine connected to the ground like a little hill with an entrance. if you take into consideration that in layer 1 you are already in the hadopelagic zone, since 1: it's a trench and 2: "hadopelagic pressure", this trench is unbelievably deep. in fact it almost reaches the underworld! so i thought it would be nice to see some intresting volcanic world generation there, would kill the boring square with a triangle on the bottom layer 4 generation. edit: maybe some volcano background tiles with smoke like stuff going upwards? like hydrothermal vents?

Change the "Something is approaching..." to something that fits a boss. For example: "The frozen winds are howling..." or "The crackling of ice can be heard in the distance..." for Cryogen.

Give more uses to Blighted Lenses. Like to upgrade the Optic Staff into Entropy's Vigil (or perhaps a Post-SC version of it). Maybe add it to accessories like Sigil of Calamitas and potions like Calamitas' Brew.

Add a non-consumable spawner for each boss that deactivates on first kill

Update the intended boss progression

The bosses in their current form seem to be out of order in terms of their suggested progression. An example would be austrum aureus, who is clearly much harder then the golem with attacks that pierce blocks, and a status condition that drains health substantially, yet it's suggested to be fought before the golem.

On today's episode of "everything post-Plantera is horrible difficulty-wise and I want more replayability":
Make the dashes of sub-50% Leviathan and the Plaguebringer Goliath have a (much greater) minimum distance they can be from the player and/or transition much more smoothly into the dash.

An example for the second thing (visuals very helpfully provided by Epsilon):
-------- LeviKek --------
<<<<< LeviKek --------
LeviKek >>>>>>>>>>

<><><> ❔ <><><>
These two entities are both enormous, they are both extremely fast for their size, and they both have way too easy of a time ramming into the player for huge damage. Their current dashes immediately go into full throttle, they deal massive damage, and they can be entirely too close to the player with no issues whatsoever on their side. Giving these two some sort of limitation on this otherwise infuriating attack style can seriously help to level the post-Plantera playing field, which is currently very heavily skewed in the game's favor and not yours, and would arguably make these two opponents a bit more fair.

❓ The vast majority of proficiency bonuses are specific to that class. Movement speed is a benefit that anyone of any class could enjoy the benefits of.

Make Bobbit Worms in the Abyss way faster in attacking

Why?: If we're going off of actual, real life Bobbit Worms, those things are extraordinarily fast in attacking. They literally attack so fast that they simply don't give their prey enough time to react to their attack until it's already too late.
Bobbit Worms in Calamity, however, are way slower. They are actually slower than some other Abyss enemies down there, despite the fact that a third of their irl deadliness is how fast they are.
Also, if this is possible, make their attack bring back the player to their pre-attack position. Bobbit Worms in real life also do this, as they strategy is clasp around surrounding prey and then drag them back their hole to suffocate and kill them. Bobbit Worms in Calamity don't do this, but instead just deal some damage upon contact and inflict some debuffs, like almost any other Abyss enemy. It also really doesn't help that they're in the final layer of the Abyss, yet are so underdeveloped.

Add a Stealth Meter on your screen whenever you got a rogue armor set on.
Why? Because stealth currently has 2 ways of tracking it: sound of when its filled, and your character's invisibility. In a boss fight, when you want some good rogue attacks, you can look at your character to see the stealth he has, but it's kinda hard to guess what is the exact value of it, and you have to pay attention to the boss, of course. Adding a Stealth Meter would give a visual/percentual representation of your stealth value, so you dont need to wait anxiously for that sound to blip when your stealth is full.
"Something on-screen would be better than a tooltip like our current stat meters
So you can know what stealth you're at without needing to rely on visibility " -Rover

Add a solution or solutions for the clentaminator that can convert dirt to mud.
Why? This would protect against world evils permanently converting the jungle to a non jungle biome. As it is, if your world generates with a surface evil in the jungle (which happens in half or more of my worlds for some reason) or if evil generates crossing through the underground jungle at the beginning of hardmode, it puts that jungle at risk of destruction. That sucks when you need that biome for so many things, including a hardmode boss, two post moon lord bosses, two ores, and Sponge crafting components among other things.
Would also make artificial mushroom biomes snap easy. That’s a bonus.

Please put more focus on fixing issues with the game rather than adding new features, especially multiplayer. Thinks like optimizing (endgame vanilla shouldnt be less laggy than pre hardmode calamity for exemple) should be prioritized over adding new content.

Make Lore items drop for the first time a player kills a boss, vs. the first time a boss is killed.

Reason: In a multiplayer world, it can suck for some people who miss out on a lore purely because they had to go afk or something. There is lots of good lore items, but they're just inaccessible sometimes because you weren't there. It's also possible to make them accessible elsewhere, through an NPC or crafting.

Buff the Hardmode ore armors, namely the Cobalt, Mythril, and Adamantite, to better fit in with their counterparts.
Why? While it is understandable that Cobalt and Mythril is weaker than Adamantite, I can't understand why they would be weaker than Palladium/Orichalcum armor. Palladium Armor set gives you regeneration buff whenever you hit an enemy.
Orichalcum shoots flower petals from off screen when you hit enemies.
Titanium gives you literal dodge from a single attack.
Cobalt, Mythril and Adamantite give you some cheeky buffs, like more crit or ammo reservation, but Palladium, Orichalcum and Titanium easily make up for that. Besides, who needs ammo reservation with 9k+ bullets?
Not to mention that the POT trio give you more defense and damage/crit than CMA (Not in all cases, but still in most).
Doesn't this seem a little unfair?
And I'm not talking about a complete overhaul of ore armors, just give proper armors some stat advantages to make them all on par with their counterparts.

Lorekeeper NPC
So is it possible to add a Lorekeeper NPC? It's an NPC who spawns after defeating any boss, and they will sell lore items to players ( if a player somehow looses the item and they dont have to reget it in another world ). The Lore it ems are added as each boss is defeated ( and some of the lore biomes. e.g; if you beat Skeletron, Lorekeeper sells "The Dungepn" and "Skeletron" ). Im suggesting it so for those who loose their items, they don't have to regrind the lore in a whole new world.

Make an upgrade to the Staff of the Frost Hydra using Endothermic Energy.

<><><> ❔ <><><>
Summoner has extremely little variety with weapons and gear available in late-game and it really starts to show after the Devourer of Gods' defeat, what with only one summon weapon being between DoG and Yharon (and being a direct DoG drop, at that). Granting an alternative weapon choice for reaching such a major progression stage will help to ease the lack of options for summoner in late-game and thus make the class that little bit better for actually playing the game with.
(Also, every other Biome Chest weapon from vanilla has an upgrade at some point in the game. Might as well make it a full set.)

Change Staff of the Mechworm to be a cosmilite crafted weapon rather than a DoG drop.

Staff of the mechworm is the only summoner weapon after DoG until 1st phase yharon is defeated. This means that if a summoner doesn’t get the weapon, they have to fight DoG again with almost identical gear as the first time, only difference being a few accessories. Forcing to farm a boss for a weapon in that manner is essentially forcing to repeat the boss. This can be fixed by making it craftable in a similar fashion to cosmilite weapons.

Cause Infernadoes to appear on the minimap when fighting Yharon, at least in Expert or lower difficulty.

This is especially true for lower-resolution players. With a typical arena, the Infernado projectiles will often hit against walls offscreen. When descending, it is often hard to know the Infernado will be there, and this can result in a lot of damage taken. A common strategy is also to use an item that boosts fall speed (such as Slimy Saddle or Portal Gun), making it nearly impossible to predict unless the projectile didn't hit a tile and the player remembers where it is.

A debuff that shows how long you have on the Flesh Totem/Core of the Blood God contact damage reduction cooldown.

** Buff Betsy's drops **

Reason: Other than the Aerial Bane which does a decent amount of single target dps against airbone enemies which are common post-golem. The other Betsy's weapons like the Flying Dragon, Betsy's Wrath and the Sky Dragon's Fury can barely reach 1k single target dps with a dps setup using Ataxia armor on the twins (the test was done on both twins during both of their second form) which means that they are outclassed by PlagueBringer Goliath and Duke Fishron's weapons. Keep in mind that PlagueBringer Goliath and Duke Fishron are also supposed to be fought post-golem. Unlike the old one's army tier 3 event which is very annoying and boring to complete because this event is a dps test, the PlagueBringer Goliath and the Duke Fishron's fights are quite fun to do because they are straightforwards fights and their weapons drops like the Tsunami and the Plague Staff are pretty rewarding because they offer a decent amount of dps. By buffing the Betsy's weapons that I have mentionned earlier, completing the old one army tier 3 event will feel more rewarding to do because currently, doing all of this work to complete this event for the betsy's weapons is not rewarding at all because most of the Betsy's weapons are lackluster in therms of dps.

Make invisibility optional for rogues
In multiplayer it can be very annoying playing with a rogue and having to look at the minimap to check his location. It's also an issue when dealing with loot: I very often end-up openning a treasure bag while unknowingly standing on a rogue, giving him all the loot in the process. I don't care how you want to implement this as long as either the rogues or their allies have a way to deal with that problem.

Decrease Supreme Calamitas' bullet hell durations, but increase her health, in Boss Rush.
In Boss Rush, she has about 3x less health than normal, and you now have access to Shadowspec tier weapons. This makes her non-bullet hell phases extremely short, essentially making her bullet hells potentially way more than half the fight.

On today's episode of "some mechanics are a fucking nightmare to balance and balance against":
Swap the "on-hit" conditions of Rage and Adrenaline.
To clarify, this means that Adrenaline would be lost on getting hit while being used, whilst Rage would not be.

❔
* To balance out the two, first and foremost --- Adrenaline is universally better than Rage even for the one subclass where Rage generally should be better, for the simple reason that Rage currently relies on getting hit or using true melee for 5 years and then...not getting hit while being used, despite the exorbitant amount of time it takes to build up.
* A thematical fit, really --- Rage is already largely themed around getting pissed off and one can describe it as unstoppable fury, which lends itself well to the idea that it doesn't get lost on hit. Adrenaline, on the other hand, is largely based around focusing and not getting hit, so naturally it makes sense that getting hit would knock one out of focus and force them to get back on track again. It seems near-paradoxical, then, that Rage is lost upon getting hit when being used while Adrenaline is a free 5-second boost to all of those numbers you're putting out.

Swapping these would help define the "themes" of these mechanics better and perhaps give Rage more of a purpose on the battlefield, and balance it out with Adrenaline.

On today's episode of "Seraph's overly ambitious suggestions that will never get accepted and steal Thomas's suggestion intro style to boot HDfailure ":
After the completion of the lore revamp, expand the Calamity wiki's lore section

Reason:
By this point, Calamity's identity as a mod is rooted in it's lore. From things like boss dialogue, to the mod's soundtrack, to even some of the gameplay and worldgen itself. to the point where having at least a basic understanding of the lore, even if it's just "Auric Man Bad™️" is necessary to enjoy the mod to it's fullest. Despite this, a lot of important characters that don't necessarily appear in game do not have their story sufficiently explained, getting only a paragraph or two on the lore page. The example that stands out the most is the complete absence of lore info pertaining specifically to Jungle Tyrant Yharim, despite the fact that he is the main antagonist of the storyline.
After the lore rewrite is completed, the expansion of lore related wiki resources will make the storyline easier to follow and increase the quality of life for much of the community.

Make Sea Serpent, Oarfish and Gulper Eel passive until hit (or the player gets close to the head).

As it stands right now, Sea Serpent is the only NPC that's aggressive right upon spawning in the Sunken Sea. This is quite jarring for a biome supposed to be the most peaceful place in the game. People make a base in Sunken Sea Pre-HM and then they're forced to move it somewhere else due to Sea Serpents harassing them to no end.
As for Gulper Eel/Oarfish, I'm aware they're supposed to be passive at first, but it doesn't function properly as they just try to hover very close to the player's head, causing them to go aggro as soon as they get close to the player anyway. They ruin the aspect of Abyss being meant to be explored by being stealthy, and unlike Cuttlefishes, they're far from easy to kill and can actually do quite some damage with all their segments.

What I would recommend to fix them would be to give their head the same AI as the other abyss fishes, bar the block collision. This way, players will be able to avoid them but still have to work their way around them without getting close/hitting them, or simply waiting until they go away.

Add DM DOKURO's interlude themes for The Profaned Godess and Supreme Calamitas

Since DM Dokuro's mid song interludes between certain bosses aren't actually in the game, I feel like there is a very good way to include them. Say for example you reach the end of the game, and you are about to craft the Supreme Calimitas summoner. There is an interlude that is set before you fight Supreme Calamitas. As soon as you craft the summoner, the song kicks on right after, and once the song ends, that's when she will summon. This would be a good way to add a real sense of tension, and eeriness that is well deserved to be taken advantage of, and overall just fits in with how the "checkpoint bosses," such as Sc and the Profaned Godess feel to fight them. This will make sure that the player is absolutely ready for the fight, and it would just be amazing to experience. This can be done for any boss that has an interlude before them, not just Sc. This may be a bit hard to add, but I think that it would definitely pay off, for it would definitely change the aspect and vibes that the bosses give before you even fight them. I'm new to Calamity, and I'm not sure if this is supposed to be formatted in a certain way, but nonetheless would like to see other peoples thoughts on this.

Reduce the glowing Mushroom cost per Shroomite Bar from 15 to 5

When playing ranger in vanilla, I’ve found that Shroomite bars were an absolute pain to farm for. You’re practically unable to craft the full set unless you set up a glowing mushroom farm. With the alternatives that Calamity offers such as Reaver armor, which is way simpler to craft, few people will probably choose Shroomite over it, which is a bit of a shame, seeing as the deva took the time to make a fourth helmet option for it. I feel reducing the mushroom cost per bar will make this set that much more of a viable option

Make Crabulon drop Shroomite Bars post-Plantera

I feel this would, again, make Shroomite that much easier to use. This could work similarly to how Hive Mind/Perforators drop Cursed Flames/Ichor in Hardmode. This would bypass the absolute struggle that is housing the truffle, purchasing the autohammer, then building a mushroom farm, all for a mediocre armor set that will likely be overshadowed by Ataxia. It will also make Crabulon more than just a boss you fight once then forget about for the rest of your run.

It's not that they NEED it, but it would be cool to get access through other means than the darkness heart and taking damage. My understanding is that rage is supposed to be rewarded for being agressive, so here is what I propose:

Ranged could get some when using non-homming projectiles: the more shots you land without missing, the more rage you build per shot, until you hit a cap.

Mage could get rage when staying between 45% and 55% magic long enough. The idea is that you are paying more attention than usual on you mana bar to keep that balance intact: you can't just spam spells and potions.

Rogue would get rage when using stealth strikes. It almost seems too obvious, does-it?

Maybe (some of) those added ways of building rage could be balanced by having them only active during boss and mini-boss fights. Or else the mages can just build rage from the comfort of their base, before a fight.

EDIT : Forgot sumonner lol.
IDK, give them rage when successfully Right-click targeting bosses or something.

EDIT 2: Obtaining rage when a melee using summon deals damage to an enemy that wasn't the right click target. Thanks for this idea, Squid. My reasoning is that to do that a lot you need to resummon your minions strategically and use right click targeting, two things that non-summoners don't bother doing, I suppose.

Add a boss health bar for Wyverns

Not sure why this isn’t already added tbh. Wyverns, like Biome Mimics, are closer to minibosses than normal enemies, and it can be useful to be able to more clearly see how much health they have when fighting one, especially considering how fast they move.

Make Mushroom Biome enemies drop Glowing Mushrooms

As it stands, one of the many hard parts of getting Shroomite is getting enough Glowing Mushrooms (you need 810 for a full armor set). This easy-to-code QoL change would make it a little easier to get all that, and would give a reason to fight these enemies.

Use the tinkerers workshop for more recipes
Currently there are plenty of accessory combinations in calamity, however there isn't a single one I'm aware of that is made at a tinkerer's workshop, even though that workbench is designed specifically for combining accessories. Example: The bloody worm scarf, a combination of the bloody worm tooth and the worm scarf, is crafted at a hardmode anvil, even though it's just two accessories without any sort of extra crafting material.

#

Add Tinkerers Workshop to the Draedon's Forge, and give it it's recipes as a result.

Why?: Draedon's Forge is meant to be the "final crafting station", yet completely ignores a station that still is required for all of the starts of each accessory tree, basically. It's the final tier, and it should stay that way, but it also should assert itself more as the final tier of the main crafting stations.

Make Aeries' healing projectiles green/blue instead of red, and do the same for any healing weapon that has the same issue

It's a very small change, but when i'm in the middle of a boss fight, specially in harder gamemodes, and i see a red projectile homing at me my first thought is that it will deal me damage instead of healing me. I can easily see the same happening for other players.

Add special spawn animations for bosses

I noticed that the Split mod gives each of its bosses neat little spawn animations when they are summoned. I think something like this could be implemented into Calamity to make its bosses seem more intimidating. For example, when summoning Yharon, a ball of flame could manifest in the center of the arena, as Yharon emerges from it, or, when summoning the Brimstone Elemental, she could spawn within her flower, slowly blooming until her form emerges.

Buff the Wyverns a bit, to make them fit better in Hardmode theme.

In vanilla, Wyverns were quite a bit of a suprize when they were introduced, but then became just annoying.
Even with Calamity, all they do is "go for it" and charge the player without an end, making them trivial to cheese and kill. I understand that they are not supposed to be god-tier enemy, but seriously. Devs don't have to give them shooting abilities or anything.
I propose to buff/change Wyverns in 3 ways:

Make them a passive enemy until provoked (if possible) and buff their health. They would be just floating slowly in skies, just like Sunskater. This would make them fit in better with rather peaceful skies they soar
Increase cap on number of Wyverns alive at once (preferably to 2 in HM, and 3 Post-Moonlord). If I am not mistaken, that number is currently one. Why not more? Wyverns seem like pack creature.
Make Wyverns only truly fightable in Sky biome. If you would exit Sky for longer than 1.5 seconds, Wyvern would either despawn or enrage and drastically increase its speed and damage (for devs to decide)

Why? Let's be real here for moment: Sky biome is basically untouched by Calamity. Yes, we got a few new enemies, hell, even a boss (which is an absolute cheese as well)(and yes, there are planetoids, but this is about enemies), but what about a little love for vanilla enemies? Especially one that is supposed to be a mini-boss, when it doesn't even have a helthbar? This would (possibly) increase the difficulty level of Sky in early Hardmode, giving the player more challenge to face before they can aquire wings.

Add an armor set made from unholy cores

With a large part of the mod being themed around Brimstone, it surprises me that there isn’t a Brimstone armor set. This armor set could possibly be Mage-exclusive, as there aren’t currently any Calamity armors that benefit exclusively a vanilla class iirc. Lore-wise, this could also be the armor typically worn by Calamitas’s ancestors, or the followers of the Brimstone Elemental.

Destroyer Revengeance changes:
-When the destroyer starts fliying, make it fire less lasers but increase its speed
-To compensate the last one, make the laser changes happen earlier on the fight
Reason: its very hard to dodge homing laser, probes and the destroyer itself and you can easly die in this last bit.

Maybe some more supreme calamitas themed vanity items / pets, reason: many of the other bosses like yharon DoG etc. Have a few nice vanity items, but the (current) end boss for the mod doesn't have much in the way of vanity / pets / mounts etc. Besides Levi, which is a good looking little item. So I think there's a lot of possibilities with it.

Remove Supreme Calamitas' spin while entering phase two
Reason: the vanilla eye bosses have the spin while entering phase two, switching to a more damaged apparence. Both Supreme and Clone had a damaged sprite the past but even them Calamitas clone didn't have the spin, nowdays phase two both was resprited but the spin was still kept for Supreme Calamitas and it is very generic for the current final boss.

In this new chapter of "Lets remove instant upgrades" we have the Conclave Crossfire (and the Conference Call, kind of) by moving it in progression
Since there has been a lot of instant upgrades being moved its about time this one gets the same treatment so it doesn't overshadow Tactical Shotgun, and since Conference Call is based on Conclave Crossfire it should be moved to

My suggested tier is Post-Golem so it's not too close to Disseminator, you can add the all trusty Chaotic Bars to the recipe, Bettle Husks, whatever you choose

As for Conference Call it could be just locked to Tactical Skeletons Post-Golem or moved to a different enemy altogether

Buff the Cosmic Guardians

Reason: The Cosmic Guardians are really just there during the fight and are essentially just a stronger, faster Wyvern.

I'd slightly increase their health, give them projectiles, and then give them the same special resistance to piercing weapons that most worm bosses have to make them not die in 2 seconds from weapons like the Valediction or the Blissful Bombardier, knowing that in DoG's lore his armor is "specifically designed to resist piercing and explosive attacks."

Make a way to tell if a boss is Enraged. Why?

You could be fighting a boss, let's say Cryogen, and you leave the Tundra without knowing. All the sudden he's faster and does more damage, and you would be none the wiser. Some bosses are even worse, for example Brimstone Elemental and Polterghast. They can enrage for long periods of time and you wouldn't know, because the background and Music don't change. You could make the indicator whatever you want, but one way would be to make the Boss Roar sound effect.

Make the Old Lord Oathsword and Bladecrest Oathsword craftable with hellstone and souls or something, just in case

Why?: The further you go into Calamity in progression, the less demons and bone serpents show up overall. In hardmode, this isn't super horrible at all, given that the Underworld doesn't change that much, but the instant you defeat Moon Lord, almost all of the Underworld becomes profaned enemies, and demons and bone serpents become rare, if impossible to find.
This is also coupled with the fact that there isn't a way to craft either blade to begin with, making it so obtaining them is very farm-heavy and rng based, despite having a long crafting tree.
Given that they are good weapons in pre-hm overall, making them craftable via hellstone and souls or something similar would lock their easier-to-obtain method behind Hardmode, giving you a safety net just in case you couldn't get them by that point, but also still making it so obtaining them in pre-hm is something you have to work for.

Make Astrum Deus and post-ML Astrum Aureus drop Meld Blobs.

Reason: They drop every other Lunar Fragment, but not Meld Blobs. Alternatively, you can increase the chance for Astral Crates to drop Meld Blobs. A 25% chance for 5-10 Meld Blobs while Astrum Aureus/Deus drop dozens of each fragment seems way too low.

The only other way of farming Meld Blobs is to kill the Cultist, go to the Nebula Pillar, and kill enemies that spawn there. Then, you have to kill every other Pillar AND then kill Moon Lord, just to get some Meld Blobs.

Remove the larvae that spawn in certain jungle planetoids.
Reason: If you play Revengence or Death mode, Queen Bee enrages when above ground. If the larvae was there for convenience's sake, then why would you break it if you know Queen Bee is harder to fight when you do?

Make The Hive Mind, Perforators, Queen Bee, and Skeletron drop normal Healing Potions, have Astrum Deus, Moon Lord and Profaned Guardians drop Super Healing Potions, and have Providence, Bumblebirb, Polterghast, and the Sentinels drop Supreme Healing Potions

Reason: At the point in progression where you fight The Hive Mind/Perforators, you probably have killed Crabulon and would have access to Glowing Mushrooms, which means you would've made Healing Potions. Also, Queen Bee doesn't drop potions for some reason.

As for Astrum Deus, You usually just craft Super Healing Potions before fighting Moon Lord, so you would just throw the Greater Healing Potions away. Astrum Deus drops lunar fragments, so you just craft the Super Healing Potions after killing them, not using the weaker potions. If you craft Super Healing Potions for when you fight Moon Lord, he shouldn't drop worse potions. And Profaned Guardians dropping Greater Healing Potions doesn't even make sense because at that point you could get 2 better healing potions. Who uses Greater Healing Potions for Providence?

The other post-ML bosses should drop Supreme Healing Potions for the same reasons I already stated for the other bosses. I don't think I have to repeat myself.

Change the ornate shield/make it more interesting.

As it stands, the ornate shield is literally a hardmode upgrade to the shackle, because it gives you 8 defense;you're better off equipping a warding accessory than wearing this, and it doesn't even have any special effects whatsoever!At least the shield of the ocean has a special effect(even though it's also pretty mediocre), where as this one doesn't even do anything besides give you defense.You only ever craft this because you want to craft Asgard's valor.Giving it an interesting effect would at least make it worth equipping as you don't get asgard's valor til post plantera.(Asgard's valor could also inherit it's new effect if it's not too game changing.)

Suggestion: Reduce the particle effect of Providence lore

Providence's lore item gives most if not all projectiles a flaming trail of dust/particles, while this effect is admittingly cool looking, it causes a lot of lag on lower-end computers, especially when paired with some weapons. I play on a laptop personally, and using Providence lore causes a lot of slowdown, so even though it's very good, I cannot use it well. This is a known issue with the item and it affects a lot of people, so I see no harm in reducing the sheer amount of particles, or changing the look of the item all together to a less intense alternative.

Make the Main Profaned Guardian boss, and Signus in his third phase, unable to stick to you during their dashes.

A fix for this was attempted in the past, but it didn't work, at least not all the way.
They're supposed to only be dashing while they're above you, as the dash motion moves downward and swoops into you. But, if you're close enough to them when they do a dash, they can move upward and stay right on top of you no matter where you try to move to next, necessitating a RoD teleport to escape (or pray to god that Signus's phase changes) or else you die unavoidably. It's very annoying when it happens.

One possible solution is to make them unable to move upward during their dashes, straight-up cap their vertical speed, so the player is always able to escape their hitbox by flying and the bosses won't be able to follow them. Another solution is to force the dash to end once they contact the player, and have a cooldown before another dash can begin.
Anything to prevent them from sticking.

Make the Blood Moon's lore item drop after killing 50 Blood Zombies

Increase the defense for the Tarragon Horned Helm

The Horned Helm only gives 3 defense. I never played summoner, but that looks puny when put in comparison to all of the other Tarragon helmets. Even the Statigel summoner helmet at least gives 4 defense, and this is a post-Providence set. The Bloodflare set is the next one you get and the summoner helmet gives 16 defense, while Tarragon gives only 3.

Make all boss summons non-consumable in higher difficulties

In revengeance and death modes, bosses require several tries to learn their attacks and get good enough to beat them. However, your ability to do so is crippled by the high cost of many of the summon items. It's really annoying not being able to practice the king slime because you don't have any rubies for example.

Increase rouge mobility and damage taken
Typically, rouges tend to have high mobility, stealth and low defence in games, but currently it feels the rouge class is lacking some flavor. I think it would fit better and make rouge stand out more if they had increased movement, turn, and fall speed and increased acceleratetion at the cost of increased damage taken.
It would be like a different way to play the game like summoner and add to the longevity of the mod as well as highten the skill cap for rouges.

Remove the "Only those that are worthy can use this item" text from Yharim's Crystal, or just completely get rid of the requirement to begin with

Why?: The tooltip used to be there since it used to drop from all enemies at an extremely low chance, but now it's specifically dropped from only Yharon, who is the very one that deems you "worthy" to begin with. What I'm saying is that this part of the tooltip and requirement for Yharon to be defeated is now completely redundant, given that no one would ever be able to obtain the weapon without being able to use it now.

Make Frigid Bulwark's/Rampart of Deities's Paladin Shield effect be toggleable with visibility

Reason: The paladin shield's effect of taking damage for your team isnt always desired. While joining a different team stops this, it still would be much better to be able to disable this effect if you want to be on the same team to teleport to allies with wormhole potions. If it weren't for the paladin buff, it serves as a nice alternative to Asgard's Valor and on top of that, a lot if not most accessories that give a dash let you disable it by toggling visibility. Why not apply it to these accessories as well?

Remove RoD's crafting recipe and nerf it functionally in some way

RoD in vanilla was a simple extra weapon you could get if you got lucky. In Calamity, it's a reasonably easy-to-get must-have.

On today's episode of separating immediate upgrades so they're more useful on their merit:
Move the Crystal Flare Staff later in progression, and buff/rework Frost Staff to more cleanly lead into it.

❔
Frost isn't really impressive at all on its own, and Crystal Flare --- while better than Frost by a mile --- currently feels as if it's trying to override the presence of the base weapon rather than act as an upgrade or sidegrade. Adjusting these two to be more differentiated from each other would help both of them to become more memorable weapons.
~~For the most part this is really just the same reasoning as the other immediate-upgrade suggs I've sent in the past, just go with it.~~

(On a somewhat-related note, can we get Crystal Flare Staff renamed/rebranded while we're at it? Nothing it does has to do with crystals at all...)

Remove melee speed cap
Reason: If it allegedly no longer breaks yoyo's, let true melee be less of a miserable experience and let it have as much melee speed as it wants. Most projectile spawning melee weapons already dont spawn projectiles on every swing if you go fast enough, all this would do is make true melee more viable. If you design a whole build on boosting this stat, and its really good, that shouldn't be an issue. Also, even if it doesnt let yoyos be thrown, the solution is just "dont raise your melee speed so high".

Add a Help Icon to Permafrost’s menu that also grants a Blessing.

This would be good for finding out more about the lore of the world from his perspective while giving players an additional edge against the terrors of early-mid hardmode. The blessing could be a small stat buff or perhaps a weaker version of Permafrost’s Concoction. I feel that this would make him a bit more useful as an NPC that doesn’t just sell you some items that fall out of the progression quickly. Amidas has his blessing which is basically the only reason he is still helpful later on.

Reason: Waiting for all three atlases to spawn can take awhile and makes it so you have to rely mostly on luck whether you can attempt the boss quickly or not.

I had this idea from the previous suggestion about the Brimstone Crag, and I think a similar idea could work in the Abyss. Giving a dark, open background to the bottom layer would make it feel a lot bigger and deeper, and make you feel small compared to the massiveness of the creatures and structures down here.

Imagine first entering the bottom layer of the Abyss, not knowing what to expect, and as your vision decreases, you see this huge undersea cavern open up behind you. I think it would be a pretty cool effect.

Make the mech alts allow mothrons to spawn in solar eclipses when all 3 are killed

The mech alts exist as an alternative to the mechanical bosses, so it would make sense that you wouldn't also need to defeat the regular mech bosses in order to be able kill mothrons.

In fact, the mech alts are missing a couple of other features that would allow them to function as true alternate battles, such as naturally generating plantera bulbs, and several other smaller features such as the truffle selling the hammush and mushroom spear, OOA upgrading to tier 2, reaper also spawning during eclipses, life fruit growing (which from my point of view is critical) and several new hell features appearing like lava bats and red devils.

During the post plantera hardmode and post moonlord, it isn't very likely that you will be using the effects of tiger climbing gear, and the effect of it(wall clinging and sliding) can actually be more negative than positive as you often get stuck on walls and sliding down a wall is much slower than simply falling.In later fights mobility is very essential, and getting stuck often means that you will take a hit.Toggling this effect with visibility would solve this issue.

These effigies are useful as arena buffs, however their range for the buff is relatively small.Normally that's a small issue, but since there is no real efficient way to obtain them besides creating multiple worlds, it becomes quite hard to properly utilize these effigies in arenas as most arenas are larger than their buff range.A good way to fix this would to either increase the buff range of these effigies, or allowing you to craft/duplicate one with an effigy in the recipe along with materials to create two of them.

Lower the spawn chance of Armored Digger

Even without any spawn buff potions, your chat will be flooded with "Armored Digger has awoken!". What if you want to farm for other things? Armored Digger always just comes in and likes to ruin it. So instead of Removing it entirely, lowing the spawnrate will also have it be an actual rare miniboss instead of just a worm that's in your way all the damn time.

More Flavor Tooltips
Especially for materials. There are some important crafting components, such as living shards and bars of life that could be much improved with a simple tooltip like "A stone from the flower's gullet" or "A mischmetal of magical materials"

Add ammo types in more ranged weapon tooltips
A few of them don't use the expected ammo type or don't use any.
For example, the overloaded blaster uses gel, like flamethrowers, despite not looking anything like one.
Additionally, some weapons negate the effects of the ammo used.
For example, the archerfish has it's own water projectiles that completely overwrite the ammo's special effects.
I don't think it's a necessary addition for all weapons, but it could help new players a little, especially with crafted weapons as you can't test them before making them.

EDIT: What does the pumpler shoot? pumpkins? pumpkin seeds? Nope, straight-up standard bullets, even when using the alt-fire pumpkin bombs.

Turn the water of the Crimson biome gold, instead of red.
Lore-wise (even with the lore rework in mind), the Crimson is supposed to be the remnants of Cthulhu/some other dark god. However, the water in the crimson turns a blood-red, which albeit fits with the blood theme, the water being golden helps solidify the connection between ichor and the crimson as it is a substance known to be the blood of the gods. The land's already made of flesh, so why not hammer in the point by making the waters some form of eldritch blood?

Make equanimity crafted using flamarang instead of enchanted/ice boomerang.

Make Armageddon be off by default upon each world loading

Why?: I get that it's a "mode change" sort of thing, so it runs off of the same coding that makes Death work between play sessions, but oh my god if I can't count how many times I've taken even just a few hours of a break from Calamity and would come back to forget the thing's on, and would die to some hard, important boss. This is also extremely tedious to deal with since it's not even fully solvable with just "Check if it's on before summoning them, dummy", because sometimes bosses summon themselves. And it's also just entirely too easy to forget that Armageddon is something you'd even need to watch out for, despite being such a drastic change in how boss fights go.
Death makes perfect sense to keep between world loads, given that it's a difficulty setting. Armageddon is MEANT to be temporary, only for a specific boss fight or boss grinding session, not to keep between play sessions. So it being a static setting that doesn't automatically turn off upon exiting a world is far more of a hinderance than it is helpful and logical.

Add post-moonlord hooks.

We could craft hooks that are faster so you can dodge and and catcn platforms faster avoiding taking damage form some bosses.

E.g. We could hold on a long platform after our flight time is over.
Such as Fighting Yharon with a pretty huge arena with sparse platforms.
or when you fall out of the arena while fighting D.O.G.
It could be useful.
In other words:
Faster Hooks.

Buff/change necklace of vexation.

At the moment, there is very little incentive to using the necklace of vexation, as the effect(15% damage when under 50% life) is quite bad compared to even vanilla accessory.You might as well wear a class/avenger emblem and get the virtually the same damage increase without even the need to be under 50% life.This accessory just seems like another one of those material accessories that you just craft because you want the upgrade of it.

Buff the Cosmic Guardians so that they don't just follow the player and die

Reason: The Cosmic Guardians are really just there during the fight, being essentially just a Wyvern with stat buffs. They were added in Revengeance to make the fight more interesting, but they don't do much of anything other than chase you until they die.

I'd slightly increase their health, give them some type of projectile so you aren't just running away from them, and then most importantly, give them the same special resistance to piercing weapons that most worm bosses have to make them not die in 2 seconds from weapons like the Valediction or Halley's Inferno, knowing that in DoG's lore, his armor is stated to be "specifically designed to resist piercing and explosive attacks."

(I posted this suggestion a week ago, but it didn't get the required stars to be reviewed by the devs.)

Change Godly Soul Artifact’s tooltip from “Boosts max minions by 8” to “Summons two Sons of Yharon” or something similar.

The current tooltip implies that the accessory boosts minion slots by 8. Though that is true, those 8 slots are instantly taken up by the sons. The tooltip doesn’t mention anything about summoning the sons, and considering the slot boost only exists as a way to add sons, I believe the sons should be referenced in the tooltip and not the slot boost.

Make the Brittle Star (Minion spawned by the Seabound Staff) and Aquatic Stars (from Deepsea Staff) attack enemies slightly more agressively

Either by making it dash faster or more often, I believe this summon needs this slight buff since as it stands right now he's a bit on the slow side and the dashes dont really feel like they have much power onto them, it feels like the summon is only moving towards the enemy not ramming them

P.S. This suggestion sparked to me after seeing the Brittle Stars miss a vulture that was chasing me 3 times

#

Make it so the Brittle Stars (Minions spawned by the Seabound Staff) and Aquatic Stars (From Deepsea Staff) can go through tiles

Most if not all aerial minions ignore tiles completely and for a good reason, they tend to get stuck in tiles since their AI when theres no enemies nearby is just floating towards the player

This would make the seabound staff more useable in closed areas, which is probably what you want it for after you have beat Desert Scourge, since your next objective is the Sunken Sea most likely

Add a crafting recipe to transform Giant Tortoise Shell into Turtle Shell

Giant Tortoise Shell is an accessory that has incredibly higher (19.5% vs ~6%) chance to be dropped by Jungle Tortoises, compared to material, Turtle Shell. Reducing the drop rate would be a decent option, but more creative solution would be to craft excessive shells into material form. That will both give Giant Tortoise Shells a bit more credibility (aside from being Absorber material) and ease the creation of infamous Turtle Armor.

include the luminous amulet in the recipe for the abyssal diving gear/suit.
Currently the abyssal diving gear is the penultimate abyss accessory. It is crafted with post plantera ingredients, and thus including the luminous amulet would make sense; given that players will be farming for depth cells and lumenyl at this stage of game, more light and health would be minor but highly useful.

I propose the luminous amulet be added to the recipe for the abyssal diving gear for the aforementioned reasons; additionally, if the +life stat is too strong, it could be reduced or the accessory could be moved up to the abyssal suit’s recipe, which would further the suit’s reputation as the ultimate abyss accessory.

Additionally, the other amulets—the amulet of vexation and the chaotic amulet—are practically obsolete on their own, but they are used in their respective upgrades. Adding the luminous amulet to the abyssal diving suit’s recipe would maintain a consistency between amulet accessories.

Lastly, to give an idea of the luminous amulet’s place through comparison, I believe it should be to the abyssal diving suit what the ice skates are to the frost spark boots. This change would merely render a previously obsolete item useful and would improve consistency between items.

Make the Astral Infection transform Living Wood and Living Wood Walls into placed Astral Monolith and Astral Monolith Walls, and make it remove Leaf Blocks
Reason for this suggestion: Whenever the Astral Infection hits a biome, it transforms almost all blocks into Astral variants of the blocks. However, if a Living Tree happens to be in the Astral Infection when it appears, it stays as its pure variant, making it stick out like a sore thumb (or rather in this case a perfectly healthy thumb on a body covered in bruises). This makes no sense, as the Astral Infection is meant to be this disease that can corrupt anything from animals to machines, meanwhile it can do nothing to what's essentially an unusually large tree.

On today's episode of trying to make OOA actually worth half a fuck to farm:
Remove Betsy's Curse immunity from (at least) the bosses between Golem and ML, inclusively, and adjust the buff made to it so it is more balanced in the grand scheme of things.

❔
Calamity specifically buffs this exact debuff to make it more worthwhile and in an attempt to make OOA worth farming, yet every boss past Golem --- a.k.a. the point where you can start inflicting this debuff in the first place --- is immune to Betsy's Curse, and thus Betsy's Wrath itself becomes a fantastically mediocre weapon with a nigh-useless debuff. Removing this immunity and balancing out BC to compensate would not only make Betsy's Wrath a good weapon, but also maybe take a step towards putting OOA back on the map for people that aren't summoners.

Add an aura of sorts to the Sentinels when they are summoned in the DoG fight.

Inspired by a previous post that suggested that bosses get an ethereal tint when being refought. The feeling I get from the Sentinels in the DoG fight proper is that DoG is resurrecting them to fight temporarily using his magic, and giving them a similar effect would fit them more. I would suggest an aura of purple gas, but anything fits.

Armoured Digger should not spawn every literal second it isn’t alive.

So your trying to farm underground enemies and you decide you need to kick it up a notch for the grind. Guess what? As soon as you drink a Zerg potion, Armoured Digger shows up, so you defeat it, then another one comes literal nano seconds after it. Basically, reduce the spawn rate of which Underground Bosses/Mini bosses (or at least, Armoured Digger) when Zerg is active. It’s infuriating and just another hassle.

Make cinderplates minable by 65%+ pickaxes (just like hellstone)
It's currently a 180%+ block (Adamantite pick) despite being craftable in pre-hardmode at an iron anvil.
Why is this really a problem? Softlocks: it would be on the player's fault, but making any kind of wall around your spawnpoint could result in your world file being softlocked.
Even when building it can be a problem: if the player decides to build something out of it and makes a mistake/ wants to remove the build, they simply can't until they reach hardmode's ores.
EDIT: Also it's minable by bombs, which is fine, but weird how it contradicts the pickaxe power required.

Make some sort of Mana Upgrade Post-DoG/Yharon (P1 or 2). Why?

Fighting Scal (in Rev+ specifically) as a mage ~~which kinda sucks in the first place~~ is a long(er than usual) fight, with one of the two reasons being waiting for Mana to regenerate, which can take some time without Mana Restoration potions, and not everyone likes to farm for those. Making a Mana upgrade would make it a bit faster as you won't need to have as many breaks between attacks. Another idea would be to make something that gives you unlimited Mana, but at the cost of a percentage of magic damage.

Make Legendary items a guaranteed drop from the boss when killing it an X amount of times.

Right now, Legendaries are a 1% chance, with Defiled Rune increasing it to a 5% chance. However, developers don’t want them being affected by Defiled Rune. So... instead of making them a random chance, mostly getting them ignored and forgotten, how about they become a guaranteed drop? If you kill a boss enough times, you should be rewarded. That would truly make the “Legendary” part of them true.

Make a Crafting Recipe for Heart Statues and Star Statues

Right now, heart and star statues are still only obtainable by finding them underground. Some of the time, you won't find any, just because they're not in a place you would usually end up in. However, hearts and stars (for mage, at least) are IMMENSELY helpful for bossfights, and make bosses that will always require full preparation (like Yharon or SCal) a lot easier. Almost every other substantial arena block is craftable or purchasable.

Having them be buyable would work too, but I don't know of an NPC that would logically sell them.

Add money to the Slime God's treasure bags.

Why?: Per Armageddon's farming mechanics, and the fact that every boss' treasure bags open up with loot and money, all bosses are efficient for farming, and money gain.

Except for Slime God, who's bag gives absolutely no money, for some reason. And it's loot doesn't make up for it, since 6 bags of loot from SG will equate to about 1 platinum, where with even Desert Scourge, you can get far more than that per farming kill for a significantly easier boss.
This also doesn't make sense for consistency since Slime God drops it's money directly, and not through it's bags like all other bosses.

Make all Treasure Bags sell for the average of their loot's selling total, including the money those bags drop, instead of having no value at all

Why?: When farming money with Armageddon, I often find myself with 100+ bags that I wish I could just sell directly, but instead I end up having to open every single one, which not only can lag the game a ton if trying to do in bunches, but also simply takes entirely too long. I have the ability to slaughter earlier bosses due to my power later in the game, but I have no ability to skip having to spamclick 4k+ items into some npc's shop?
What also doesn't help is it just logically doesn't make sense. Npc's will take almost everything from a treasure bag, but deems the treasure bag itself useless?

The Calamitas Clone is in sore need of unique unlocks to separate her from just being a boss you can skip entirely in favor of Plantera, who unlocks everything the Calamitas Clone can and much more. Moving these items to post-Clone specifically would not only be incredibly easy, as all of these items are already balanced as being between Clonamitas and Plantera anyway, but would help to give the Clone a bit more reason to be fought over other more rewarding bosses.

Double or triple the duration of the ceaseless hunger buff

When i was trying out these potions and seeing the edge cases of how far it can reach, i figured it reaches everywhere in any of the 3 world sizes, even in a large world, if you put an item in one corner of the world and then travel to the opposite corner, the item actually comes back, which is amazing

The problem here is that the duration of the debuff isnt quite enough to pull through all that distance, being in the middle of the world can require 1 or 2 potions to get all items, meanwhile the scenario i mentioned before require up to 3, if the potions were to last longer so they do the job in a single sip, that would be nice

There really isn't any purpose of keeping them alive when the fight is all but decided. Defeating SCal is supposed to be a pretty grand achievement, and the fact that you still have to keep avoiding threats during her dying speech kind of makes it a bit harder to focus on the victory.

At that point in the fight, the monsters just serve to stress players out, or to possibly kill an unwary player and snatch away their win. Stray projectiles are one thing, but having four of these things actively chasing you during what should be a victorious/somber moment kind of ruins it.

Event/Invasion Additions

Why:
Personally I feel like the Pirate Invasion and the Goblin Army don't get much love from Calamity. Since there's not many new things that go along with those said events, along with the other events as well. When looking through the Calamity Wiki, I've seen how little the events actually get in terms of weapons and enemy mechanics, and it makes me a little sad to see. Calamity already has a plethora of bosses that makes the world of Terraria feel more alive, and quite possibly is the only mod, in my opinion, that makes Terraria feel more wonderous.

Suggestions:
I suggest having some new enemies to go along with the more underrated events, or new drops at the least. Possibly some additions to the way Invasions work. Not entirely sure, but I feel like Calamity should do a little more with the current Vanilla Events/Invasions.

Give the Martian Saucer a better second phase.

Reason: Its second phase is so stupid that it honestly ruins the entire boss, making it one of the most annoying enemies to fight. (at least for me) It just spams a deathray above the player that does 300/450 damage. Not only is that twice as strong as Moon Lord's deathray in Normal Mode, but it's also pretty hard to dodge it when it uses the attack every 3 seconds and is pretty fast. This phase is also stupidly easy to cheese. All you have to do is just place 2 blocks above your head, use any weapon that homes or passes through blocks, and you completely invalidate this phase. It doesn't matter what you do with the boss, make it completely identical to phase 1 for all I care, that'll be better than it spamming this single attack that kills you in 2-4 hits and you can completely shield with a 2-block barricade.

Take range for example, you have the psychotic amulet that boosts both range and rogue, daedalus emblem and then the quiver which is simply an upgraded Daedalus emblem. Either way, these classes lack diversity with their accessories. Regardless of what they are (without being ""too specific"") there should be more over the course of the game, whether they have a crafting tree or not. Even just one offs are nice.

Turn the extra max mana over the hardcap into reduced damage penalty from mana sickness; or reduced mana usage.
(For example, extra mana that didn’t count towards the max mana would reduce the mana sickness damage penalty from 50% to something lower.)

Because of the mana hardcap, there’s no reason to go for max mana builds because once you’re over the hardcap (which is very easy to do), any other builds that give max mana are obsolete. This change should give players a reason to use builds that focus on increasing max mana.

Add New Revengeance/Death Mode AI changes for Event Mini-Bosses
(Goblin Summoner, Flying Dutchman, Martian Saucer, maybe OOA bosses?)

Currently, there seems to be a lot of discontent around a lack of change to events in Calamity. I believe that a good way to 'freshen up' Terraria's events would be to make larger scale changes to the mini-bosses that the events are centred around, outside of just stat buffs and adding de-buffs. Giving the event mini-bosses new attack patterns and maybe some harder changes to existing attacks to make them less exploitable (e.g. Make Martian Saucer's Death Ray pass through blocks) would be a good way to make events more interesting and have more value to players.

Make NPCs immune to the Phantasmal Deathray

Seeing as the deathray now passes through blocks, every time I make the mistake of fighting ML near my base, the fight almost always ends with 90% of my NPCs dead, and waiting for them to respawn is a pain. I feel this could be prevented by simply making NPCs immune to this specific attack

A little suggestion about our favourite flame/magic boss, Providence. Reasons for each change listed beside each sug.

Make her Giga Blasts unable to damage player for ~1 second. - Providence likes to fly right next to you, and Giga Blasts have huge hitboxes, and as such, player mostly relies on luck when Goddess is passing above them
Make a small break between Providence going into her cocoon and the start of spear barrage. (1.5 seconds would be just perfect) In return, make her cocoon phase have 95% DR. - Spears shot from her travel at sound speed. Should Provi be beside you when she enters cocoon phase (which happens way too often), you are likely to take a shot or two.
When she is about to summon Guardians, make her distance herself from player and spawn them at her position when far enough. To make things fair, make her invulnerable during positioning. - Guardians just love to spawn offscreen, more often than not resulting in cheap shots.

Make Moon Lord's head eye open for a longer time and closed for a much shorter time when both hands are killed

Reason: Moon lord's head eye stays open for about 8 seconds, and closed for about 12 seconds. I don't see any point in having the eye closed for that long. It just makes the fight much longer, leaving the player with less time to actually attack the eye. It doesn't have to be that much of a difference, but the eye should stay open longer than closed if that is the only thing you can attack to make progress in the fight. It can get seriously annoying to wait for the eye to open, attack it, and then wait 12 more seconds to attack again, and then repeating that cycle over, and over again.

Make calamity crates drop hardmode ores.

At the moment a lot prefers to just fish in vanilla biomes because these crates don't give hardmode ore, which makes them less useful in early hardmode where fishing shines, as it is very easy to skip mining by getting hardmode bars from the crates.

Make the Silva Invulnerability effect recharge once every in-game day instead of being once per life.

That way, you will still probably only be able to use it once during a boss fight, but you won’t have to kill yourself immediately afterwards to reset the effect. This would also make the Silva Armor more useful in hardcore mode.

Make the plague somehow curable

But also make it so you can inflict it on the jungle again, perhaps as a new golem drop of some kind. While the astral infection, Crimson, Corruption and Hallow can be cleansed, the plague cannot.

They're Underworld enemies that are decidedly fire-based.

...yeah I can't really make this any simpler than it already is. Not inflicted by Hellbats in Normal because 1) Normal is the true casual mode and b) to separate Normal and Expert a little more. Lava Bats would get to inflict it in all difficulties because they're a Hardmode enemy.

Add an increased grinding mode

In this mode, you will only get half of the usual amount of items that can be stacked (materials). For example, if chopping a tree should give you 30wood, you get 15 wood instead. Mining every block has only a 50% chance of dropping the block. All chances of obtaining boss drops are cut in half. Chance of items appearing in chests are halved etc.

In post ml, a player generally spends much more time fighting the bosses than actually farming for items so I hope that this mode helps ppl who are feeling bored of fighting bosses and make the playthrough slightly less boss-oriented

Make it so any Piercing Rogue Weapon has priority over the Luxor's Gift Projectiles. Why?

The Luxor's Gift is a great accessory that gives can give extra range to attacks that need it, but the Piercing Frames from it can get in the way of weapons such as the Gel Darts or the || Gilded/Gleaming Dagger || and it can get pretty annoying. Making the actual weapon's attacks overrule the Gift's projectiles would make sense because the they do more damage.

Siren should have a spawn condition similar to Cultists, instead of random spawn. In most fantasy, Sirens inhabit sea-breaching rocks in oceans as opposed to being at the bottom of the ocean, having a rock formation that spawns at worldgen that she spawns on with the same conditions as cultist would allow for easier fights and less of a chance of despawning her from high summon potions like War and Zerg

Move the Journeyman and Master Bait that Merchant sells later in progression
Originally, these kinds of bait being sold assisted Calamity players to reduce the chore from fishing whenever it was required (quest rewards, frog leg, etc.)
However, recent updates added a lot of new rewards to fishing and now it's somewhat valuable duty to go for, especially in Hardmode with new types of fishing poles and special fishes to extract souls from. The thing is, while accessories and poles constantly evolve throughout the game, the bait stagnates at skeletron tier (when merchant starts selling Master Bait). Of course, there is a factor of "You can get Master Bait from crates early anyway", but unlike Merchant, this is a finite source and actively rewards advanced fishing. And, as last minor improvement, Arcturus Astroidean and Twinkler (two new Calamity baits) will have a reason to be used!

Make baits caught from fishing -- such as the jellyfish and Twinkler -- be stronger as options for bait.

What's the point of using bait to catch bait that might just be worse than bait that you can get or have already gotten. Maybe it's just me but it honestly feels like the equivalent of lines snapping when I catch these things???

Alternatively, you could give these exclusive baits purpose by having increased likelihood/guarantees for certain favorable drops (like a temporary boost for crates a la crate potion)

Make Rage and Adrenaline increase and decrease smoothly with no abrupt jumps.

Disclaimer: Rage will still be gained in discrete chunks when you get hit, which will occur instantly.

When you use Rage or Adrenaline, the UI bar only updates about once a second, which looks choppy and strange. Why doesn't it smoothly decrease to show you exactly how much time you have left as a visual meter?

Similarly, when gaining Adrenaline, you gain chunks once a second instead of the bar increasing smoothly. I believe that would look much nicer.

Make Skeletron spawn above the old man, and not on top of him

Why?: This should be obvious, but Skeletron spawns on top of the old man when you hit "curse", and because you have to be in a close proximity to him to keep his textbox open to hit "curse", this gives Skeletron an insanely easy way to start off the fight with a cheap hit.

Add a transparent fading visual effect to indicate when Yharon's infernados start dealing damage.

These attacks are the icon of Yharon's fight, it's what everybody's drawn to and the part that scares you the most. However, the point at which they deal damage after being spawned can be a bit fuzzy to figure out, since they're so huge and you rarely get the chance to see the ending of their animation. By having them fade in, from full transparency to full opacity, it will become much clearer to the player as to when these fiery behemoths are a death sentence. This will help encourage more informed decision making on the player's position throughout the fight and will allow for some sick dodging opportunities should you need to dip into inactive infernados for a split second. ~~ancient repost mode~~

Make the Celestial Cuffs and the Mana Regen Band be separate in their crafting trees, because the whole Celestial Cuffs crafting tree generally doesn't make sense and wastes two accessories and your time

Why?: In all honesty, Celestial Cuffs' entire crafting tree requires Band of Regen AND Band of Starpower, which the end result uses neither. I think it'd be a lot better to just remove both of the Bands from the Celestial Cuffs recipe, and have both Celestial Cuffs and Mana Regen Band combine into the Sigil of Calamitas later. This would make it so if you have a preference, you can still do either one (or both, even) without wasting anything. And it wouldn't even have to change the Sigil itself, since the thing already gives +100 max mana anyway, so it all still fits.

Reason: Her health is way too low in comparison to the other buffed post-Providence bosses.

I just killed her in like 40 seconds with Augur of the Elements while the other 2 bosses took much longer. Killing Calamitas currently seems like a super easy method to get a bunch of bloodstone because of how little health she has.

An unlikely suggestion, but if possible, Sulphurous Sea and Astral biome backgrounds for the screenshot capture menu

Why? Just a bit more creativity when taking captures or screenshots of said biomes, and not using the default options, making them seem out of the ordinary. Again, if the coding is a bit wacky with the capture menu, then don’t worry too much about it. (Example for those who are unaware, the screenshot mode allows for background changes, changing the background and water color for a select biome. Ie: You could set up a capture in the Hallow, but change the background to Jungle, also changing the nearby water color)

Add extra attacks to Queen bee fight to make it more enjoyable. To list some ideas: Add the diagonal dashes from the Plague bringer, a stinger bullet hell, or summoned hornets or stronger bees, or homing stingers. (Probably for rev and or death) Queen bee is one of the most boring fights in the game with very little variety to attacks and not counting minor changes to some 3 attacks, those being the stinger attack, charge attack, and bee spawning attack. Adding more attacks would add more variety, and make it more enjoyable, or at least make the fight less monotonous.
Also it’s about the only boss that isn’t changed in rev+

Make Stingers launched by Hornets, Queen Bee, Plaguebringer Goliath etc. More Visible.

This has always been a problem in vanilla, what with hornets doing so much damage early prehardmode, but it is more so in Calamity with Plaguebringer Goliath and the harder Rev+ versions of Queen Bee. Since the Goliath changes the background to a much darker green color, and since the stingers do more damage, it feels kind of cheap when you're hit by something you can't even see. They're tiny and blend in with everything (and are even more camouflaged in a jungle background, which is where the majority appear). In Rev+, Queen Bee launches even more stingers, and they also do a lot of damage, encountering nearly the same problem. The fact that she enrages aboveground, making it impossible to get rid of the camouflaging jungle background, does not help.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, when SCal fires the hellblast (?) that shatters into a bunch of darts/spikes, they persist after she despawns and can hit you when you respawn.
Why: SCal is recognized as the hardest boss in the game (as it is the only superboss) so why not add a little bit of a double down if you lose and manage to get hit again after she has already despawned.

Since the most recent changes in changelog are about making player' life much worse in Deathmode, I suggest this one:
Make the Spike Ball (invincible Dungeon enemy) emit a burst of few spikes when moving, with bursts occuring every few seconds. Also, make them swing at different, overall faster speeds depending on chain length.
Reason: Seriously, look at this from this perspective: how many times does one die to this almost immobile enemy? One, maybe two. Spike balls are actually pretty forgetable. You just move out of the room and they are no longer a problem. Sure, more can spawn elsewhere, but how many will that be? I think it would be for the best if these enemies got some way to really become a thorn in the side. Honestly, even a Blazing Wheel got new attack, and they were a threat already as they are moving around.

Make a pair of wings for post-DoG that doesn't include running boots

Reason: I feel like the reason Yharon is so difficult is because you can't use any pair of wings and are only able to use Elysian Tracers. This makes dodging Yharon's charges extremely difficult because wings that are combined with boots are worse than normal wings. There are wings like the Tarragon Wings or the Elysian Wings that you can use during the fight, but despite having more flight time, they are both slower. A pair of wings will give the player an option to sacrifice an accessory slot for wings that are much better, giving the player an easier time dodging Yharon's attacks.

Change Super Absorbant Sponge (or add an upgrade too it) So that it can Absorb Lava, Make it Faster, and Add an Endless Lava Bucket

Clearing out lava is painful, especially because of the Obsidian Skin nerfs and burning effect. Although this is changeable in the config, it still takes forever if you mine out space or use buckets. Though the sponge is hardmode-exclusive, making Brimstone Elemental, Providence, and Signus arenas can be painful. I swear that 1/2 of the time I spend on them is just clearing out lava. Also, even clearing out water, the sponge takes forever, so an increase in speed would be nice.
It also doesn't make sense to me that you have to gather lava in buckets, whereas you don't with water. Since the Bottomless Water Bucket is much more common in Calamity, I think there should be a counterpart.
Although there are workarounds for both, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me that lava is utterly irremovable without grindy bucket removal at all points in the game. At some point, it shouldn't be something you have to make way for.

Three words: endless honey bucket

Reason: honey is really useful for fishing and healing pre-moonlord since you're able to catch fish that can heal you, and it's good for healing during boss battles (if you're low on health and you're playing in multiplayer you can go out of the range of the boss and sit in honey for a few seconds). However, honey is difficult to get since you have to find a beehive first, and once you do get honey, it takes a very long time to create a decent pool of it for fishing since it's a very slow liquid. An infinite honey bucket would make the process slightly faster, and a lot less annoying.

Make Ravager have a natural means spawn. Why?

The status message showing he can be fought says "An ancient Automaton roams the land" so why doesn't it? The only way to spawn him is the Ancient Medallion, but it clearly states it's roaming around somewhere. It could spawn during an event of some sort and it could be travelling around the surface somewhere, and using the Medallion would call it to your current location. Killing it once would make it stop roaming around, and you would need to summon it through the Medallion. ~~An alternative would be to change the status message a bit but~~ HDfailure

Make an alternate "fake" voodoo doll that spawns WoF and doesn't kill the Guide, but requires some HM material to craft

Why?: WoF drops the entire line of emblems and also some weapons that specific classes use as materials, yet grinding WoF is considerably slow because every time you spawn him, the guide dies. The guide (most of the time) doesn't spawn right away, requiring you to wait for the next time you can spawn WoF, even if you're doing it because rng screwed you and didn't give you an emblem/weapon you need.
The reason I suggest it be HM-specific is because having a non-guide-killing spawn item for WoF would kinda ruin the commitment of fighting WoF to progress, which adds to the intensity of fighting him to begin with.

Make it such that upon using Teratoma, the first few seconds after hive mind's spawn cannot deal damage to you

Currently, when u use teratoma (hive mind's spawn item), the hive mind will fall directly fall flat onto you and you must dash the moment you use the spawn item to the left or right if not you immediately get hit when it spawns which is annoying.

On today's episode of "Omg Xul posted a suggestion!":

Make more Post-ML bosses have less debuff immunity

Reason: Many cool debuffs in Calamity, such as Silva Stun, are completely negated by the fact that the majority of bosses, especially post ML, are immune to them. This makes sense for superbosses such as Scal or Yharon, but early-postML bosses such as Providence shouldn't have as much debuff immunity. There's no point in going out of your way to get a weapon that inflicts some supercool debuff, because most enemies that aren't immune to those debuffs are oneshotted by that point, and the bosses that aren't oneshotted are immune.

Edit: Worm bosses are probs gonna be a no go because of particles and the damage, but other boss types should have less immunity.

Add a Toggleable AOE Block or Item that Makes the Cultists Invincible

Accidentally hitting the Cultists kinda sucks--this happens a lot when I'm building around them or if I just have an elemental axe that decides to whoosh by and kill all of them. They are also often hit by stray projectiles (such as the split beams from Aether's Whisper) if I'm fighting Polterghast or Ceaseless Void in a handmade arena closeish to the surface. I always have to disable my summons and whatnot when I'm nearby, and, unlike in vanilla, you have to deal with the Cultists long after Moon Lord is dead in the aforementioned Ceaseless Void and Polterghast fights.

A toggleable block would be akin to the Corruption/Crimson Effigy (only it affects nearby Cultists, not nearby players) and pillar totems, and a toggleable item would be akin to Revengeance or Defiled Rune. It would be nice if you got this soon after your business with the Cultists was over (maybe a drop from Moon Lord or Lunatic Cultist).

Enhance goblin invasion as you did with solar eclipse in the endgame. Cuz if the endgame summon-class player needs to get a campfire from the goblin summoner in order to craft some items, he would've killed everyone before the summoner even spawns and you're simply unable to summon another invasion because of the cooldown, so it takes too much time to get everything you need in the end.

Make Dragon Scales be anything other than a 1-time-buy thing

Why?: While I see the point in "The bandit shouldn't be implied to have an infinite supply of actual dragon parts", I really don't see why these are an item you can only buy one time per world. They're a whopping 40 platinum, have no upgrades at all so equipping more than one or something similar isn't possible, and it just seems like a really random limitation on an item that can easily be lost, like just about any other item. Especially when the result of accidentally losing it leads to either having to cheat it back in, or having to go to a completely different world where Yharon-phase1 has to be beaten.

Bring Zergs/Zens back to Early Hardmode. Why?

Zerg potions are really useful for Early Hardmode because of all the grinding you need to do to get decent weapons, but now your stuck with Battle potions, which barely do anything. Zen Potions are also really helpful for doing thing like mining or Building in high-spawnrate areas. It took me an hour to build my Brimstone Arena just because I kept dying to the monsters. The Nerf they recently made for them AND the fact they made them later in progression make them a bit less useful in the long run.

Increase the amount of Revivify Potions obtained in 1 craft
The current recipe is a little difficult to complete until Post-Golem (With Spread Rod being unlocked and Cinder being dropped by Golem itself) which is fine, but then there's the price of 5 Crystal Shards for 1 pot. Crystal Shards are not hard to get, but you need some time to get a decent amount for crafting Revivify Pots and even so you'll see yourself needing to get some more soon because Revivify only lasts 30 seconds, so overall it seems that the time needed to get a considerable amount of these pots is unbalanced with the time they'll actually last

Permafrost Concoction Buff

Why: the revive is the main seller of the item and it kinda sucks due to being frozen for 5 seconds which is longer than most if not all instances of glacial state or frozen.

How: make the encased dr unaffected by the cap (like ice shield or abyssal diving plates)
reduce the encasing time to 2 to 3 seconds
increase the bonuses that don't focus on the revive
increase immunity frames while in ice (like deific amulet)
Note: These don't all have to happen. Just some ideas.

make shrine items a very rare drop from their respective biome crate, for better multiplayer compatibility and so that you're able to obtain them in your world if another modded structure or biome overlaps them, plus certain mods require them in crafting certain accessories and it can get annoying scouring the world for a rare item that (with other big mods installed) might not even exist

Suggestion: Make Tiger Skin craftable

Tiger Skin is an item sold rarely by the Travelling Merchant that's used in the crafting recipe of Handheld Tank, I cannot simply say to remove it from the recipe as it's what the donator wanted, but I feel like it would be a lot more convenient if Tiger Skin was simply craftable with something like Leather. Another item that's used in recipes and sold by the TM is Frost Barrier, however this has an alternative method to obtaining and therefor isn't as tedious to get, which I feel is an attribute that every item like this should share. If leather is used, recipes for the other skins could be added so it isn't completely out of place as-well

Increase traveling merchant's spawn chance depending on how many town npcs are alive.

While the traveling merchant has many useful items for sale, it is hindered by the fact that he does not spawn often, and even less often will you get the item/weapon that you actually want.By increase his spawn rate this way it would be balanced and not too game breaking;It would also make sense for the traveling merchant visits you more if your town is populated as it means more opportunities for him to sell his items.The traveling merchant could also have extra dialogue to reflect this change but it is optional.

Boss weapons can be crafted into other weapons from the same boss (similarly to how imksushi has boss swap tokens)

Give all the Architect Gizmo Pack ingredients a recipe in hardmode
It can potentially take a long time to obtain all four parts for this non-combat-focused accessory.
A way to guarantee access to them without making the traveling merchant useless would be to add recipes in hardmode. Naturally these would be more expensive than the usual 10 gold a piece, maybe requiring some Enchanted Metal.

My opinion on fixing stealth:

Make stealth generate over time as long as you have taken no damage
However, the generation is much slower than normal
This encourages using aggro reducing items and seems to conform more to the standards of the game and rewards movement play.

Currently as stealth exists, it's almost entirely useless before getting the movement generating accessories. Standing still and not attacking for a single crit or weapon special is a huge DPS loss and just not worth it.

As an additional thought (Credit to @inland gale ) Stealth could potentially be a buff that stays with you for a while giving you a damage increase. Albeit I believe the damage should be reduced some as it could be seen as imbalanced.

Add a 100-150% spawn rate boost to the effects of the Defiled Rune.

On today's episode of "Frozen 2 is the best meme movie and it's up to you whether you wanna bother seeing it or not":
Adjust Glacial State to be more of a Hardmode Chilled variant rather than a Frozen variant.

❔
Currently, Glacial State is inflicted by a whopping 3 things in Calamity. These things are Cryogen's ice bombs, Rev+ Destroyer's frost beams, and the Rev+ Ice Golem's frost beams. All 3 of these entities can rather easily combo the player if the debuff is proc'd on them --- like, incredibly easily --- and for Destroyer in particular it's one of the reasons the fight isn't really fair at all. Additionally, Glacial State as a debuff isn't too terribly unique, simply being Frozen but with some defense reduction applied. Reworking the debuff to be more like Chilled would not only allow for greater creative liberty to be taken with the debuff without it being unfair, but also indirectly make the aforementioned fights a little more reasonable.

Buff the three item-collecting range boost lore items.

As they stand right now, they're incredibly underwhelming and don't do much at all. With WoF and Plantera lore items combined, the range seems to only be 1-2 blocks extra, which is barely noticeable. They aren't worth using up to three inventory slots. They need a noticeable buff, preferably with item-collecting velocity increased as well.

On today's episode of "Xul that's kinda cool tho":

Give Exo Freeze a much more unique ability and make less bosses immune to it.

Reason: Exo Freeze is literally just Glacial State/Stoned/Frozen/standing in Minecraft cobwebs with a rebranded name. This really gives it nothing unique at all. Not just that, but many bosses are also immune to it, and the ones that aren't get oneshotted by the weapons that do inflict it(exo weapons). An example of this would be 'freezing' bosses' ability to summon projectiles for a few seconds, after which they get a 30 second period of immunity to the debuff. It's up to the devs though, and as such it doesn't need to be like this.. Thank you for listening to today's episode, Xul out.

On today's episode of: Seraph blatantly stealing Thomas' suggestion style while suggesting something likely so difficult to program that the programmers will come after him in an angry mob HDfailure ...

Add a method (mod.call, weak/strong reference or otherwise) so that other mod bosses have the ability to make calamity HP bars have unique ways of measuring HP or unique white text

(Example: For a multi part boss, the HP bar could show the combined health of all the parts and the white text underneath could show how many parts are still alive, similarly to how the HP bars for skeletron, prime, the slime god, and the Calamitas Clone are handled as of current)

Reason: While calamity is a mod meant to stand on it's own, the ability for other mod developers to streamline their own content so that they mesh a little better is always a plus (in my eyes at least) and the ability for other modded bosses to have their calamity HP bars reflect the actual nature of the fight would create a good opportunity for said cross content streamlining.

~~Yes this suggestion is sort of a sequel to one of my previous suggestions to modularize the boss rush and add a Mod.Call method for other mod developers to add their own bosses~~

Change the way how debuff immunity works on bosses.

Most bosses in calamity are immune to most but a select few of debuffs.As the player progresses further, the player gains more opportunities to inflict many debuffs, however this is totally wasted as bosses are immune to them and enemies die too fast for debuffs to be of any use.Making bosses be immune to less debuffs, especially ones like glacial state could make the battles potentially more interesting.After being hit by a debuff, the bosses would gain immunity to it for a while.This is a formula to calculate the immunity duration I thought of but it is just an example: BaseDurationTime(kept constant) + Multiplier(varies between debuffs) * DebuffDuration

When the Player uses adrenaline, give the player a light blue eye

Make adrenaline more of a "last stand" as it is in the real world

In the mod, adrenaline gives you a massive damage buff if you dont get hit at all and then you can run free still beating a boss to death. In people, it only really activates near death and it is very taxing on the energy for a while, if that is not the way you want it to function that is fine but i feel it should be a last stand or risk/reward type move

Add a homing projectile to Rev+ WoF

Currently, the way you fight wof in any difficulty is the same as how you fought EoC back when it didnt have the horizontal dash — Just run in a straight line and you never get hit. This strategy works consistently for wof as well, no jumping is required at all, just hold A or D throughout the fight and you can dodge all lasers since all lasers are diagonal. Adding a new homing projectile that has a high chance of catching the player if they are only running in a straight line makes the fight less cheesable and more interesting.

Make it so rage and adrenaline have some kind of visual effect to signify that they're maxed

Give God's Paranoia an option to be crafted with Endothermic Energy

Reason: All other Cosmilite weapons give the player an option to craft them with either Seasonal Energy. God's Paranoia forces the player to use Nightmare Fuel, which makes no sense. Allowing Endothermic Energy can give the player an option to craft half of them with Nightmare Fuel, and the other half with Endothermic Energy, while also being consistent with the rest of the weapons.

Decrease the drop rate of the Slurper Pole.
Having the Soul Slurper drop it at a 10% chance is too much. The item is non-stackable, and is dropped by 1 of the 3 (4) enemies that can spawn in the crag.

#

Decrease the stats of the post-DoG Pumpking.
Ice Queen, due to its AI, is significantly easier to defeat than Pumpking, even with stat boosts. Pumpking also tends to spawn in large hordes which make it hard to single out a Pumpking and get Nightmare Fuel from.

** Heavily nerf post-DoG frost moon and pumpkin moon's mob’s base damage. **

Reason: After a lot of farming for endothermic energies and nightmare fuel. I've experienced something very annoying about the 2 events that I have previously mentioned. The main problem is the ridiculous amount of sheer damage the mini-bosses from the 2 events can deal to the player on death-mode. The damage I took from the mini-bosses’s projectiles such as the one from the Ice-Queen (ice waves) and the Pumpking (flame scythes) can reach up to around 600 ~ 650 damage with a standard post-DoG mage loadout using Bloodflare armor with a bunch of few buffs actives such as ironskin and endurance potion. Keep in mind that the insane damage output from their projectiles are around 600 ~ 650 WITHOUT any glass cannon accessories such as Dimensional Soul Artifact and Reaper Tooth Necklace which means that those mini-bosses are almost doing as much damage as DoG and Yharon.

Just a fun little idea that I would fully understand if the devs don’t feel like implementing

Give DoG and/or Supreme Calamitas or any other bosses with dialogue voice lines

I feel this would make the fights more immersive. Even though they already have quotes in the form of status messages, I don’t really end up seeing them as I’m too focus on actually fighting the boss. Giving these bosses voice lines could also help them stand out more in comparison to other modded bosses as well.

Force Ice Queen's, Santa NK's, Evermeme's, and Mourning Wood's AI to untarget and wander around when all players are dead

Why?: Spawncamping. A particularly annoying part of these events(just in general, not even specifically post-DoG) is that their AI's don't seem to recognize when the player is dead, so they just keep firing their nonsense at the player's last available position. This ends up causing some cheap hits, which end up killing the player sooner, which then snowballs into them basically just spawncamping with unavoidable projectiles. It's worth mentioning that all these minibosses have lingering hitboxes, so they do this extremely well, especially MW.

Allow the MOAB to be toggleable as a wing or not. This is because it is impossible to equip the seraph tracers and the MOAB at the same time.

Give the Elemental Quiver the increased velocity from the Magic Quiver. Why?

The Magic Quiver's increased velocity is really nice because all the arrows in the game (besides Bone Arrows) have low velocity. This makes it hard to aim, because you need to lead your shot quite a bit. The Magic Quiver is used in the Elemental Quiver, but it removes the increased velocity for no apparent reason other than the possible fact that the devs forgot it was there.

Buff the Dark Lance to make it stand out in Late Pre-Hardmode.
some ideas for such a buff include:
A base damage increase
Granting autoswing
Inflicting Shadowflame

Right now the Dark Lance is a post Skeletron spear with no autoswing, a damage value similar to earlier spears that have projectiles, no projectiles, and no upgrade. Buffing the Dark Lance would hopefully give melee players to use it over these spears and therefore to use it at all, while giving it traits that standout from other melee weapons of the tier.

Give the Martian Saucer a better second phase. (resuggestion)

Reason: Its second phase is so stupid that it honestly ruins the entire boss, making it one of the most annoying enemies to fight. (at least for me) It just spams a deathray above the player that does 300/450 damage. Not only is that twice as strong as Moon Lord's deathray in Normal Mode, but it's also pretty hard to dodge it when it uses the attack every 3 seconds and is pretty fast. This phase is also stupidly easy to cheese. All you have to do is just place 2 blocks above your head, use any weapon that homes or passes through blocks, and you completely invalidate this phase. It doesn't matter what you do with the boss, make it completely identical to phase 1 for all I care, that'll be better than it spamming this single attack that kills you in 2-4 hits and you can completely shield with a 2-block barricade.

Give Golem's lore item a strong damage boost while standing still

Reason: Nobody is going to actually stand still during a boss fight, event, or in any other situation.

Golem's lore item is currently useless and not worth the inventory slot, giving it a damage boost will help fix that.

Instead of picking a class at random when droping Corpus Avertor, let the player chose either version
This item is a 5% chance in expert+ on ravager, except it's actually 2.5% of obtaining each class version (melee or rogue).
Rather than having a 2.5% chance of getting a false hope instead of the perfect item for your build, the bag could have a 2.5% chance of giving you a special crafting material instead.
That material could be used to craft either of the two version, with no way to change later, making each version just as rare (2.5%), but without false hopes or dropping the wrong one thrice in a row.
Note that it's like if the version you do not desire was removed from the drop table, so the average value of a bag decreased very slightly.

Automatically clear Aquatic Scourge's sulphur clouds once the player has died.

On today’s episode of ah who cares about the intro just get to the sug already: Remove DoG’s ability to inflict darkness, or replace it with a debuff similar to darkness, but much more potent.

Darkness does barely anything during the fight against DoG. Everything is lit up and you’ll most likely rely on the map to know where he is. I don’t even think the darkness effect is noticeable during the fight. Because of the above, darkness might as well be replaced with a debuff that does nothing with the name of “Hope you didn’t need that one buff slot bud” and it would practically have the same effect. An alternative solution would be to create a debuff similar to darkness, but designed to obscure your vision for specifically DoG. That would produce a more punishing result of getting hit, causing the player to actually having obscured vision.

Melee speed cap removal has been declined, and so...
Raise melee speed cap, if not for all melee then for true melee
Originally, too much melee speed broke yoyos. Thats no longer an issue. To make true melee more fun/viable, let the melee speed cap be raised by some in game mean. This could be a feature that true melee weapons have separate cap, or add an item that would allow true melee weapons to bypass the cap in some way (or make it a soft cap).
The item could also decrease the size of the weapon as a some form of nerf, forcing users to have to fight much closer than usual risking damage.
Another thing to note is that the majority of weapons that spawn projectiles on hits have a cooldown, meaning the actual projectiles would not be spammed any more than usual.

Make elemental disk, triactis true paladinian magehammer of might, and possibly other weapons have interchangable recipies regarding their weapon materials
Why: Simply put, spending all that time wanting to craft these items only for one of them to be melee turns out to be annoying and leaves a sour taste in your mouth. This alleviates that do you can use any version of the wep to craft them.

Resprite The Swarmer and its projectiles to match the point at which you get it The Swarmer is a post lunatic cultist upgrade to the bee and wasp guns from vanilla. Seeing that you use fragments from the vortex pillar which happens to have bee/wasp like enemies, why not have the gun match those in appearance? (not dissing the current sprite, its still really well done)

Make the Eclipse's Fall be crafted from the NIght's Gaze Instead of the Daybreak

Reason: Eclipse's Fall functions as an upgrade of Night's Gaze in theming, and partially in mechanics as well, yet they both use the same weapon as their base. it would make more sense for one to craft into the other

In the patch notes I see lots and lots of tweaks for the other difficulty modes, for example freezing or burning in space or during a blizzard. I think it would be awesome if all or most of these features and stuff in these other difficulties could be toggled via a mod config file or via the in-game mod config settings at the main menu! This way, if a player wants a more immersive/customized experience, they can change whether or not certain things happen. I'm a casual gamer lol. But a lot of these changes in death mode and stuff would be very interesting to have toggles for in base mode. Though nothing game breaking of course. It would just add more customizable immersion or difficulty to match playstyle preferences

I feel like calamity needs more contend that isn't boss fights. Especially post Moon Lord. A great example is the astral biome. I feel like giving us more to do other than just kill Yharon with the Silva armor or kill DOG with the blood flare armor would make it feel less like a boss rush with pauses. That's how I think it feels rn at least late game. Boss rush with a few pauses.

Make the Crag Houses use the Ancient Furniture and other Brimstone Crag Materials:
Just a simple cosmetic change, but doing so would improve the aesthetic of these structures by making them appear like an actual house and making their furniture fit in with the biome they're in rather than using the Generic Underworld Furniture.

Allow items normally dropped from the Perforators to inflict Burning Blood in some capacity.

❔
Burning Blood is a debuff commonly associated with the Perforators, yet nothing they have inflicts it and instead the debuff is granted to two completely irrelevant weapons. Thematic purposes, more than anything, but also to make Burning Blood a little more relevant on the player's side.

Add a renewable source of Hellstone
This is a big problem, Even in vanilla terraria. Almost every other ore is renewable, and this one is used frequently in hardmore, and even early post-moon lord. Some ideas for sources of renewable hellstone are-
-Making hellstone drop from underworld enemies, or just brimstone crag enemies even.
-Giving them their own ore slime. (Or making lava slimes drop hellstone)
-Making hellstone bars drop from opening Brimstone crates.

Bring Back Deathmode Skeletron's Hand Revive
+Keep the "Skeletron summons 4 hands instead of 2" in death mode. However, make him revive 2 (or 4) or his hands once he hits 1/3 hp again.

A big part of the fight I noticed on the old deathmode skeletron was that once he reached 33.3% hp, he would regrow all of his limbs. What this did was gate out the fight, requiring you to be a bit strategic, as you knew that at 1/3 the hands would come back and screw you over if you weren't prepared. With all 4 hands spawning at the start and then never respawning again, I felt more like it was just something I could simply bruteforce, rather than pacing it out and playing conservatively for the hand revival. While 4 hands spawning immediately at the beginning is definitely a good idea that should be kept, the fact that the hands no longer respawn at 1/3 hp removed that strategic part of the fight that I believed was incredibly well-designed.

**Make tesla potions weaken lightning attacks give immunity to electrified (similar to the transformer), but moving it further into progression/making it harder to craft.
**
With the new Death mode lightnings in rain, this would help early game players greatly in rain and some other specific situations. The only real way to deal with the lightnings currently is the transformer, which is very rare, and the torrential tear, which is found in post skeletron abyss. Giving early players a solution to deal with these lightnings would make it a bit more fair and balanced, but it should also be moved further (preferably post BoC/EoW) in progression to avoid being overpowered.

Let Abyssal creatures be targeted by summons automaticly

Why? Well, If you wanna explore the abyss as summoner, it's gonna be tough due to your summons NOT targeting the creatures. you first HAVE to hit them manually for your summons to actually do their job, which is SERIOUSLY frustrating.

Please give us some equipment for sentry summoners!

Yes we already have sentries, but we do not have any armor that would increase the number of sentries, or accessories that would do the same. Currently, if you wanna be a sentry summoner, you gotta go with vanilla OOA event armor and accessories, this could be fixed by adding end-game (And maybe even early game) armor, accessories, and some sentries so it would be a more viable sub-class. An easy accessory to make would be to combine the OOA accessories together (with some balance of course). The sentry summoner IMO is a totally different experience from normal summoner, you do more damage, but you have to also be more strategic, because the sentries don't move, which is a key asset in boss fights, AKA you gotta build around it.

Edit: This suggestion aims to semi-separate the Sentry sub-class from the Summoner class, because it has a completely different gameplay loop, and to expand it in the process.

Remove the 10% bonus summon damage when player doesn't hold a summoner weapon in hand (keep it if they do)
New system will look like:
+10% - summoner weapon is chosen
0 - neither summoner nor other classes weapons (e.g blocks, pickaxes, classless weapons)
-25% - other classes weapons
Summoners are quite strong during non-boss tasks like mining, fishing, etc. Doing that change means that strategically switching to weapons when needed is rewarded.
Additionally, that adds certain effort towards using classless options like Golden Gun and Rod of Discord: you still get most of the damage but if you need more, switch to the proper summoner staff (which is another minor reason: it makes little sense for holding unrelated item to be as significant of boost as actual summoner staff)

Make ||Endogenesis|| either use the mode you were last using or use the first mode when being resummoned after being unsummoned (cancel the buff) or a death

The way the weapon works at the moment is kind of wonky. The first time you summon it after booting a world it'll work as stated, but if you die or unsummon completely (cancel the buff) and re-summon it later it'll continue cycling through modes as if you never unsummoned it at all. This is kind of confusing and also means it can be annoying to get back to the mode you wanted (since you basically have to summon it 4 times).

While making it use the mode you last had it on in the event of completely unsummoning it/cancelling the buff would be better imo, even making it reset instead would make it more consistent.

Change the death message after you die from lighting in Death Mode

Why this should be changed: It currently says things like "(Player Name) got snapped in half by Lightning Orb Arc". It should be changed to something like "(Player Name) was struck by lightning", "(Player Name) was shocked", or the "(Player Name) couldn't contain the volts." message.

lore item tooltip: increase spacing between the lore and the effect desciption and/or change the colour of the lore lines.

Make so sparks of lightning appear where the lightning is going to fall a second before they land, this could be disabled upon reaching hardmode/late pre-hardmode

exploring while raining early game is not worth the risk
adding a 1 second frame allows to be able to dodge a potential lightning strike
you can still be struck, but it makes exploring on a rainy day more plausible
this could be disabled when you reach a point where you could survive a direct strike, like in hardmode/late pre-harmode

Despair Stones create explosions that inflict Brimstone Flames on impact with a block.
While a Cloud Elemental is active, lightning strikes occur much more frequently and can occur when it's not raining.
Stormlions can shoot small volleys of the same projectiles Cnidrions can.

These would all serve to make these enemies more dangerous, since Death Mode is all about that kinda thing now.

Hover functionality for Drew's wings. The hover ability allows for increased horizontal acceleration, which is sometimes vital for extra dodging.

Stealth should build up faster so it can be used more commonly in boss fights in early pre-hardmode . Standing still is really something that will end up getting you killed, and isn't worth the extra bit of damage with the lack of defense early on in the game

Death mode slime AI change

Slimes of similar color can combine and become bigger in size and get a slight stat increase. The slimes name will have a number next to it to say how many slimea it contains (i.e green slime (3)) when one of these slimes are killed they split up are unable to join back up similarly to how mother slimes work. Maybe even in hardmode or after bosses are defeats slimes can spawn already clustered.

This is to make slimes, an enemy that is incredibly easily even early game a lot more difficult
(I assume that the difficulty of death mode is similar to maso)

Increase the amount of Ruinous Souls dropped by Polterghast and/or add other methods of obtaining Ruinous Souls

Currently, the one and only source of Ruinous Souls (Polterghast) doesn't seem to be meeting demands with the recent items added into the mod.

I think adding more methods to obtain the souls (happy phantoms post-polter) or straight up just increasing the drop amount from Polter themselves would go a long way in making this phase of the game less tedious bossfight-wise.

⭐ Give the Omega Blue and Demonshade Sets Rogue Stealth

❔ Reason: The Omega Blue and Demonshade sets are meant to be all class glass cannon armours, with weak survivability but superior offensive ability. However, when playing the rogue class, rogue specific armours (which are not meant to be glass cannon sets) often provide both superior survivability and offensive ability due to having rogue stealth. This undermines the purpose of the glass cannon armours for the rogue class, but could be remedied by adding rogue stealth to the armour sets.

⭐ Remove the Phantasmal Ruin, Shattered Sun, and other non boomerang weapons from the Celestus recipe, and replace them with other boomerang type weapons

❔ Reason: With the advent of rogue subclasses and new Exo rogue weapon, the Celestus is no longer just the "Exo Rogue Weapon". It is now specifically the "Exo Boomerang", yet it's crafting ingredients still contain a Dagger and a Javelin. Removing these specific ingredients and replacing them with boomerangs will increase consistency with other Exoweapon recipes.

Make all of Ceaseless Void's projectiles force despawn when it dies.

Why?: During the actual Ceaseless Void fight, this isn't that big a deal. During DoG's fight however, this becomes extremely annoying as the instant CV dies, Storm Weaver spawns; a boss who's first phase demands that you be on the ground. CV not only has the most projectiles of any DoG-themed boss, but also half of them home, meaning that fighting Phase1-SW while being forced to be on the ground with that many projectiles is basically a free cheap hit for either of them.

Make A Piggy Cage

Piggy right now in its current state is completely useless. The cage would make an adorable decoration and would satisfy the people who have actually captured a piggy. The immediate response to capturing it was "can I cage it?" When I found the answer was no, it was mildly upsetting. I think having Piggy cage give an AOE well fed buff would be a cool/cute little touch. It would also provide consistency relative to vanilla critters.

Make the death mode lightning bolts usually spawn further from the player
❔ : Currently, the lightning bolts can spawn very close to the player, and if they spawn in the direction of where they're moving, there's no way to dodge the bolts. If it rains early in the game, you can die a lot because of your low health.
Alternatively, have some sort of tell of where the bolts would land.
This would make them less luck-based and there would be a way to dodge them.

Remove Temporal Sadness debuff from Statis' Blessing (note: Statis' Curse will keep it)
Let me put it quickly: Summoner excels at crowd control, but the upgrade this class receives after Plantera is too much.
Temporal Sadness debuff almost completely neutralizes the danger of the following relevant biomes/events: Dungeon, Abyss, Pumpkin Moon (Frost Moon, to be fair, isn't useful for summoner), Martian Madness, Celestial Pillars (!).
The proposed change will make these fights a lot more meaningful, while not cutting down the efficiency of class-defining accessory on bosses, which are the actual threat for Summoner. Additionally, Statis' Curse will have a bit more relevance as an upgrade, since currently the only benefits are 15 dmg/s DoT and ability to stack two of 3 minion slots accessories.

The only time people end up in water is for the abyss and sunken sea but, after the recent change on the siren lore item and the leviathan ambergris no one wants to use these items anymore.
Adding this should make these items and their upgrades like the amalgam, useful to people who don't want to place bubbles everywhere for a a split second that is negated after they leave that water pocket.
This could reduce movement speed because of water physics as well if water accessories are not being used

Make exo gladius' projectiles a bit faster

Why? right now, exo gladius shortsword projectiles barely keep up with most bosses. i tested it on scal a few moments ago and it did alright ish but struggled a lot to keep up with ark of the cosmos in damage, mainly because it somewhat struggled to keep up with her during her brimstone hellblast phase

for boss rush, however, the projectiles kept getting further and further behind bosses. overall the weapon is cool but it feel so sluggish, so basically you sometimes deal very little dps and then all of a sudden deal a small giant burst of damage with a crap load of projectiles. it can barely catch up to king slime and cant keep up with eye of cthulhu, queen bee, skeletron prime (it kills it because prime has fairly low damage reduction and defense from what i see)

how fast would i like to see? well compared to other weapons (im just testing atm) i would say somewhat faster than the soul edge's projectiles when they home in on an enemy

Make the Red Devil from the Demonshade Armor benefit from summoner bonuses instead of magic bonuses.

Are fighting Yharon and really need absolutely no distractions whatsoever? Bam, Queen Bee.

Perhaps some different sound effects for Yharim's Crystal or similar weapons like Dark Spark or the Prism itself. The default Last Prism sound was never good or even fitting for the weapon(s).

A HUGE laser beam from an extremely powerful weapon shouldn't transition from sounding like a sprayer to this low, underwhelming hum like some bootleg lightsaber

For something so powerful, it sounds so weak. Maybe these weapons can get that little touch up in future for sounds? Oh and maybe different beam color alternation specifically for YC? The Crystal is blue, so why is the beam only alternating in two ugly shades of red and greenish yellow? Either way, the sounds need a change for sure

Make accessories that give you buffs from being underwater have a different way of giving you the buffs. Why?

There are some accessories (like The Amalgam and The Sponge) that almost half of the buffs it gives you makes you be underwater to activate it. The only time this is really used is in The Abyss or if you intentionally flooded your arena, which hinder these effects kinda useless.

There are multiple ways to fix this problem. One would be to make an accessory that stimulates you being underwater but your on land, so it gives you the buffs. Another way would be to make it so the Accessories give you the effects all the time, but making them stronger underwater. The way it fixes this is totally up to the devs, so I won't elaborate much further.

If Death Mode is enabled, make accessories/armor that protect you from the weather tell you that they do so

Why?: With the new Death Mode "the world now hates you" changes, you are required to have certain armors/accessories to venture to certain parts of the world safely. However, the only way to know what will keep you from suffering an environmental death is pure common sense, or by looking at the wiki, as nothing in game tells you what will save you from certain biomes' hazards. Make them, just like how things that will help you in the Abyss tell you they do.

Example: Molten Armor logically gives you immunity to the Underworld's heat, which makes perfect sense, but also gives you immunity to Space's hot and cold climate, which isn't super obvious.

Remove the new downside of Desert Scourge's lore item
Why? This is one of the first lore items you get. As a result, you'll still be very weak once you get it, making the decreased damage a very big deal. The sunken sea and underground desert are also not explored that much after the very early game, making it also useless pretty much after skeletron, with the exception of the few hardmode exclusive sunken sea enemies. This just makes it useless all around, since its downside is a big deal when it's intended to be used, but isn't when you don't need to use its upside anymore.

Besides that, there are already plenty of Cavern Slimes and seeing the Cryo Slime spawn in places like the Jungle and the Jungle Temple just doesn't make sense considering how far away they are from the Ice Biome

polter lore suggestion:
you gain more health and Damage
but the souls that inhabit in you makes you sometimes confused for 5 seconds

this confusion can't be removed by any means, have the same function of the vanilla confusion debuff and is shown in the buffs and debuffs bar below your item hot bar.

EDIT: changed downside to be temporary instead of permanent and debuff will pop up more then once

#

planterra lore suggestion:
gain an all offensive buff at day but gaining a defensive debuff at the same time
and
gain a defensive buff at night for an offensive debuff at the same time

WoF lore suggestion:
while invincible, leech tentrals leach some life (up to 10 HP 50 in PML), damage everything on screen for 50 damage (that isn't a boss) and suck every item on the screen towards you.

but you take extra Damage that stacks with every extra damage taking effect.
because you use your own flesh to make said leeches

REASON! all of these lore Items have the same effect (increase item pick up range) with no down side, so it looks like (to me) that this buff means that this buff from lore items is the temporary buff that will be replaced for a different buff sometimes soon.

EDIT: make WOF upside more understandable and gives a canonical reason

Idk if this has been suggested yet but, maybe add a rogue equivalent to the sharpening station or crystal ball etc. Basically a rogue bewitching table or whatever you wanna call it equivalent that lasts for 10 mins that gives you a buff of some sort.

Let the Onyx Excavator mount have absolute knockback reduction, Increased block placement speed and make the tunnel it creates one block taller

The Onyx Excavator is supposed to be the ultimate sideways tunneller, right? Well you can't really do that effectively in its current state. Why? You can get knocked back by falling block, like sand, but why is that a problem? If you get knocked back you also get knocked upwards, which can, and a lot of time does create problems that take more time to fix, than the time the Excavator saves in comparison.

The second and lesser problem is not having enough placement speed to support the mount's speed. Is this a critical design-flaw? No, this part is not at all critical, because you end up going faster even if you have to bridge over gaps slowly, but if you wanna use it to create an above-ground "highway", you will usually find yourself bridging for really long amounts of time, but as I said, this part is understandable, and not necessarily need fixing.

And the last thing, the excavator creates a tunnel one block less than what the most common, fast running mounts can travel in (like the Unicorn mount), this makes it so you have to go through it twice with the Excavator or one additional time with the pick. Players can travel through it just fine, so I could see the reason of this part not being changed.

Add all four vanity capes (crimson cloak, mysterious cape, red cape, winter cape) to the items that winterproof you in Death Mode blizzards. (Note: Only active when in active slots, like the magic scarf & hat.)

Capes before becoming more of a fashion statement than anything served as protection from harsh weather in the same vein as cloaks, namely against rain and snow. Popo's magic scarf and hat set a precedent for vanity items potentially protecting against harsh weather, and while it would be rather nonsensical for the capes to protect against hot conditions, it would make sense that they could help stave off the damning effects of a Death Mode blizzard.

Make biome specific enimies immune to their cossosponding debuff (like ice enimies and frostburn, underworld enimies and burning, jungle enimies and poison and more) in death mode.

It doesn't make sense that enimies can take damage from a debuff relative to their environment. This would be a fair way to add difficulty and 'realism' to death mode.

Add a crafting recipe for extractinator.

Many powerful weapons like opal stricker are locked behind the item because of the need for Amber. However, unlike may of the other items that can be found in underground chests, the extractinator cannot be crafted. It even has a lower chance of appearing than the other items. Adding a crafting recipe would fit the theme of craftible underground chest items and make some great early weapons more attainable.

This may not be the most top of the line suggestion but..

Please, buff the flarewing bow's damage.

Reasoning:
Every other weapon around said time frame, or arrow availability makes this bow very quickly irrelevant due to; higher damage on all other bows available, unique mechanic it has is lackluster-very little reason to use it over other bows because of this, arrow damage contribution outshines the unique arrows, and for the amount of arrows it fires, it really doesn't make up for how little dps it actually offers.
A Darkecho Greatbow is more efficient in this sense, because it not only fires 2 arrows, it also fires a bouncy homing dart which can mob significantly better, whilst also considering arrow options at this time, allows it to be far more efficient than the flarewing bow, not even considering how strong the daedalus bow is. The flarewing bow struggles to find its place at this time, if any at all, because of this fact.
Hell. The lunarian bow is better.
Even just a very small boost or an improvement would give this bow a reason to be used, because as of current, it stands at a very low place. It also quickly becomes irrelevant because of future items, cause I mean have you even seen the barinautical? That shit gives the daedalus a run for its money.
EDIT:
#suggestions-discussion and I have done several tests, to test out the capabilities of the weapon. With standard buffs you could get from blood orbs and an alch table, unreal forges, and your basic gear at the time, we got a few times together for how long cryo took. At the end of the day, the flarewing bow just fails to stick out, and ends up being too weak in comparison to items not only in its range, but also before it!!
Flarewing wooden arrow test: 2:48
Flarewing holy arrow test: 1:48
Flarewing ichor arrow test: 1:32
Daedalus holy arrow test: 1:02

Add a recipe for the Jellyfish Necklace. Why?

The Jellyfish Necklace is used in two different "Mega Accessories" (those being Diving Gear line and the Deific Amulet Line) but it's pretty hard to get, requiring you to kill a lot of Jellyfish to get just one. A lot of other Vanilla accessories already have Calamity recipes, so why doesn't this one? I don't honestly don't care about how you craft it, but it would be a nice QoL change to have.

Remove Cosmilite from the Silva armor recipe

To be honest, I feel all this really adds is even more unnecessary DoG farming. The armor already requires Darksun fragments to make it post-phase 1 Yharon, so adding DoG materials isn’t really necessary imo. Plus, it makes no sense how a suit of armor woven from the most pure and powerful of nature magic requires highly resilient cosmic steel as a component.

Auric blocks and furniture set.

Why?: I'm not gonna lie when I say that I was actually mildly disappointed that I wasn't given the chance to make a temple of auric furniture, especially with how Auric is the final ore of the entire game, and could look really good. Along with this fact, Auric Ore already spawns in insane deposits, so much so that in my playthrough I didn't even end up using some of the auric ore I did mine.

Obviously the auric furniture/blocks should cost less than the bars overall, but that's up to the devs, not me.

steady pewter Feb 10, 2020, 10:36 PM

Not quite sure if anyone has ever suggested this, but..

Maybe Shadowspec blocks could be something very cool? I mean, to get Shadowspec bars you need to make Auric Tesla bars and then kill Suprema Calamitas, so that is a huge pain in the bumbum. Maybe with each bar you get 150/250 blocks, so you get enough to make all the furniture set.

Maybe there could also be a special part in the furniture set dedicated entirely to Calamitas? You could make some sort of shrine with that special set, with colors very similar to Calamitas' palette.

Buff the Regulus Riot in some fashion.

❔
This thing takes 5 minutes and 15 seconds to kill ML without rippers on Rev, yielding an everage DPS of 1.2k-1.5k, with on-tier gear. For a boss whose intended kill time is 4 minutes and whose average DPS expectation generally reaches at least 3k or 4k, this is a seriously underwhelming performance --- never mind the fact that there are a wide assortment of weapons for the same class (rogue) that can dispatch the Moon Lord much faster and are obtained earlier. Buffing the weapon will make it actually viable against ML and make it possible to use it instead of e.g. Radiant Star or Xeroc Pitchforks.

⭐ Change the telegraph for rev+ Brimstone Elemental's laser attack into: 1. a smaller, non damaging laser, or 2. a line made with drawcode, instead of dust

❔ Reason: The current telegraph for Brim's laser uses a large amount of dust, while this is fine on systems powerful enough to set quality to high, on lower end systems where setting quality to low is the only option, the telegraph will quickly reach the dust limit, without dust, the telegraph is invisible, which will lead to cheap hits. Changing the telegraph to a line made with drawcode or a smaller laser would remedy this problem. This change has precedant, as other boss fights such as Infernum Mode DoG and Fargo's Soul mod Mutant have gone through very similar changes to this suggestion for this exact reason.

Make defiled drop rates affect everything below 5% to have double the drop rate instead of flat out making it 5%, additionally making everything below 5% affected
(Lil example: if you have an item with a 1% drop chance it would make it 2% instead of 5%)

To be entirely fair, i have seen defiled drop rates have all these exceptions because "theyre supposed to be rare" (or some really absurd reason of "because i dont want it to" but thats beyond the point)
Well, if you wanna keep it rare just have it simply double the drop rate instead of setting it to a drop rate that would make it undesirably common.

In addition to this i would really like if all things below 5% affected because i dont see a reason not to with this new method
Having all boss drops below 5% be a direct drop would also be good

The reason for these changes is for this mode to be more versatile and be more fair to players who use it

More RIVs of vanilla items

There are about 30 RIVs in the game as of now, and only 2 of them are of vanilla items. On top of just meaning more RIVs (the idea is badly underused imo) this would also give more variety to vanilla weapons and make it less exclusive to Calamity's items.

Make Cryophobia not an RIV of Magna Cannon and just have it be its own separate thing instead.

❔
Cryophobia has nothing to do with the Magna Cannon, coming from a completely different environment and having nothing close to the same theme, and is additionally pre-boss by standard progression whereas Magna Cannon is post-EoW/BoC by standard progression (due to Obsidian existing in the recipe). It just feels like an unnecessary connection for an item that could be much cooler if given a more unique identity.

Make Nebulous Core's stars spawn midair instead of only solid tiles

Why?
As it currently stands, the Nebulous Core is an underwhelming Post-DoG expert-exclusive accessory with near to no use. The revival effect of the accessory is completely worthless as the Godslayer, Silva, and Auric sets are available immediately after, and they all provide death-prevention effects. Making the stars spawn midair could give this accessory a necessary boost that could make it worth using.

Add a Pre-Boss Hardmode Rogue Armor Set, or at least a Rogue helmet made from hardmode ore

This could be a whole rant of its own, split into potentially three suggestions, but this one should do enough. Right now, pre-boss hardmode is incredibly difficult for Rogue, mainly because the only hardmode armor they can use is Mollusk.
As it stands, Mollusk armor is very difficult to get without any other armor and/or post-boss weapons, since Crabs have a lot of health and defense and Giant Crabs take ten minutes to defeat and tend to wear you down.
Daedalus armor is an easy checkpoint, since it has helmets for all classes, but getting it requires defeating Cryogen, which is difficult even on Expert with just Statigel armor. Summoner, at least, has Spider armor--and although it's bad, it's better than nothing.
I can already hear people saying that you can just use the hardmode ore armors with a non-Rogue helmet (probably melee, since it gives a lot of defense), but the damage penalty is really not acceptable.

Buff Butcher (weapon)

This weapon has pink rarity and is obtained at around the same progression as megashark. However, even once butcher has reached its max firing speed, it's dps is still inferior to megashark. I think it should be buffed so that it has a higher dps than megashark at max firing speed, bc atm there isnt much point waiting 30s for butcher to reach max firing speed and still having lower dps than megashark which can instantly get you to max dps.

I suggest buffing this weapon by increasing the base damage or further increasing max firing rate.

Reason: It's an endgame ore used for very powerful weapons and armor, I feel like it should be harder to obtain. Currently there's like mountains of it underground which makes it easy to make everything, not even a challenge. At least make it spawn a certain distance from each chunk, similar to titanium & Adamantite. There should at least be some grinding process.

So this was a suggestion that was brought up in #suggestions-discussion and I thought it would be worthy of a place.

Clentaminator Solution Recipes!

Example :
250 Glowing Mushroom + 250 Bottle (water) = 125-250 Mushroom Biome Solution.
Ratio would vary depending on balance.

Reasoning: There have been times where biomes have just gotten shagged, and to make the resources for that biome and get the solution sold by the steampunker, we require making a house on said biome. A lot of the time, most places aren't suitable enough, or there may not be a biome available for said solutions. Adding an alternative to obtaining solutions, or making more solutions available at the steampunker would be a dream and a half for many players that just want their beaches to stop getting corrupted, or for providence to stop demolishing the player the second they even look outside the Hallow for a millisecond. Also jungle corruption. My soul hurts even mentioning jungle corruption.

Make the Angler more rare of a spawn from Trashers. Why?

Making an arena for the Aquatic Scourge requires a lot of time in the Sulphur Sea, which likely makes you have to kill a lot of Trashers because they get in the way. I get that it's a thing that the Trashers ate the Angler, but it's really annoying to deal with. If you never use the Angler, this is a big problem, because you need to make another NPC house because he takes up a slot. Once he moves in, there's really no way to get rid of him, because he'll just respawn. Please make the Trashers have a lower "drop chance" for the Angler OR just remove it in general

Please remove the forced snowstorm during Cryogen fights, or make him and his minions light up more. Fighting them in a forced snowstorm in his current state makes it a whole pain to fight him, because he and (especially) his minions blends in with the particles, meaning you can't see them. This has caused me to get perma-frozen so many times, because I am never able to actually see his little goons who are unintelligent.

Give Astrum Aureus an attack where he quickly jumps over the player and accelerates down very fast to do a AoE stomp attack, with afterframes like Rev.Eye. The stomp would create a AoE cloud that inflicts the Astral Infection debuff. This would make his fight a bit better than just flying in semicircles and avoiding his lasers/minions. With him actively chasing you and attempting to quickly crush you would make a better fight than just dodging. A stomp similar to the Roxcallibur (also he drops the Gravistar Sabaton that does something similar so why not give him the attack itself?)

Have the Aurerus Spawns and Aurerus Bombers' sprites have a little more circular things (asteroids?) circling them rather than being squares
Note: This is just QoL.
Aurerus Spawns, with their current looks really look as if their sprite was actually cut from both left and right side. Making these a little more circular would possibly make them look a little more natural and pleasing to eye. Same goes for Aurerus Bombers, as they currently use exactly same sprite.

Add a new post-ml rogue bomb with a complex crafting tree (if we consider, like, Shattered Sun complex) that starts off in pre-boss pre-hm, and add it into the Supernova recipe

Reason: Supernova is an Exo-Weapon, but it definitely doesn't feel like one - especially given that all other Exo-Weapons can be started in pre-boss pre-hm. This would give the bomb more identity. The pre-boss pre-hm new bomb could be, let's say, sulphuric water bottles - water bottles + sulphur acid.

Reason: the arc is a super good weapon that basically becomes useless after Supreme Calamitas, so with th confirmed (yay) eventual edition or Yharim, there should be a continuation to the rediculously big family tree of the arc. Perhaps it could be post Yharim and require a dev item to make it.

More magic spell diversity!

Reason: magic spells have always been kind of.. same-y. Magic balls or magic blasts that just kind of have different sprites and inflict different debuffs, but otherwise feel the same. Only a few handful of spells actually stand out (like Death Valley Duster, for instance). Having magic spells that function differently and aren't just ''big blast that does big damage'' and carry more utility would make people more interested in being mages. One instance of a magic spell is a mini-black hole that would pull in enemies and last a few seconds (or until your mana runs out) and then explode.

The reason I think this would be a good suggestion is to not potentially bore players with magic spells that all feel kind of ''generic'', and that's the last word you'd want to use to describe a magic spell. Very few spells carry any actual utility and are just ''big boom big dead big damage''.

Make a pair of wings for post-DoG that doesn't include running boots (Resuggestion)

Reason: I feel like the reason Yharon is so difficult is because you can't use any pair of wings and are stuck with Elysian Tracers. This makes dodging Yharon's charges extremely difficult because wings that are combined with boots are meant to be worse than normal wings because of the bonus running boots. There are wings like the Tarragon Wings or the Elysian Wings that you can use during the fight, but despite having more flight time, they are both slower, making them even worse for dodging. A pair of wings will give the player an option to sacrifice an accessory slot for wings that are much better, giving the player an easier time dodging Yharon's attacks. Celestial Tracers and Seraph Tracers have an additional wing option and it would be nice for this to have one too.

Add some chests into to the Sunken Seas:
Doing this would help the Sunken Sea in a couple ways, most notably by encouraging exploration. As of now, the biome has almost all of it's non-vanity/furniture content tied to enemies, their drops and fishing so adding some chests to the biome with unique content (Stuff like the Torrential Tear and Navy Fishing rod are examples of existing content that could be added to Sunken Sea chests) can help to encourage actually going through the biome to find some unique content.
Also, the Sunken Sea was once a kingdom so having chests here filled with some items wouldn't be out of place since this biome was clearly inhabited by Amidias' people, meaning there would naturally be some loot from this old civilization left behind

Move the Bat Hook to an actually well-defined place in the game (for example, as a drop from Vampires during the Solar Eclipse) and remove it from Goodie Bag drop tables.

❔
This thing is quite easy to obtain even in the early game (bonus points if the player has a mod which can cause the Halloween season, which common QoL mods such as Reduced Grinding and Fargo's Mutant allow), is fantastically powerful for its tier, and essentially renders every other hook at its tier irrelevant. Might be a good idea to at least move it a bit later in progression so some lesser-appreciated hooks (e.g. Slime Hook, Skeletron Hand) can receive some much-needed attention. Would also help to smooth out hook progression a little more.

Add Hallowed Bars to the Angel Treads recipe.

Angel Treads are holy themed and should use Hallowed Bars. Additionally, since they require a few of each soul, they are intended to be post-Mechs. Since Mech alts drop souls, this intent is sabotaged. The situation can be slightly remedied by adding Hallowed Bars to the recipe.

TL;DR Mechs are post-Mechs, and these should be too.

Make a pair of running shoes that do not include wings as an alternative to Tracers.
Reason: This might just be personal preference, but I don't like that the Seraph, Elysian and Celestial Tracers have wings by default. It's a QoL thing that saves up an accessory slot, yes, but what if you just want the speed but want to use a different pair of wings? I would like to suggest making an upgrade to the Angel Treads and so forth that grant a similar if not a higher speed than the Tracers, or that the Tracers' run speeds are all nerfed to give the individual sets of wings more value. The Tracers would still exist, but it'd give you a choice whether to burn two accessory slots for great speed and retain armor set bonuses with certain wings, or to only burn one slot, but instead sacrifice speed and the ability to have any bonus for being worn with a certain set of armor.

An idea for crafting these would be to change the recipes of the Tracers to be for creating the wingless upgrades instead minus the wings, and instead the wings could be used with the wingless shoes to create the Tracers, in which upgrading the winged Tracers up or down a tier would require the current recipe for the Tracers.

Make it so that the witch doctor sells tiki armor after Calamitas has been defeated.

As the wise philosopher Thomas once said, “Calamitas needs more reasons to be killed.” Tiki armor is currently outperformed by spooky wood due to spooky wings now removing the intended drawback of spooky wood granting one less minion than tiki. Additionally, with the existence of umbraphile armor, summoner is now the only class that lacks an armor set for plantera. Moving tiki to post-cal would fix both issues.

Rework some of the debuffs.

There are currently a lot of debuffs in Terraria that just ultimately kind of do the same thing: a generic temporary damage over time. Brimstone Flames, On Fire!, Frostburn, Abyssal Flames, Burning Blood, Shadowflame. I could go on and on, really.

Instead of just being generic DoT's, you could be more creative and give certain debuffs a little extra thing such as reducing accuracy by x%, making enemy projectiles waver and skew off. Frostburn for instance could slow enemy movement by a small amount (as you're literally freezing them). It doesn't make a whole lot of sense thematically that a Frostburn would be hotter and more powerful than an actual fire.

Make all the drinks from Drunken Princess be actually counted as buffs and not debuffs.

Why?: Okay, I get it, alcoholism is a serious problem and you can't get rid of it irl by simply right clicking, but the "Alcohol Poisoning" debuff drinking too much in-game causes is already a debuff; which means you already have to remove some of your drinks' buffs to get rid of it no matter what. But by making the drinks all count as debuffs, you don't even have the option to do so, which just feels more like added-insult-to-injury rather than a necessary punishment. I mean, I already wasted money on alcohol that I'm now using incorrectly by drinking it too much, and I have the debuff for it now, why do I have to die to get rid of it?

Please make Floating Islands and Space a more enjoyable place to be and explore.

Aside from fighting Storm Weaver and getting Exodium Clusters (which are all post-Moon Lord lol), there's nothing really worth doing in Space. The Floating Islands are just as barren as before and serve to get a few Souls of Flight to make wings, before you can skidaddle out of there and never come back until you've defeated the big man. There are multiple planetoids that serve as alternative ways to get Life Crystals and ore, but there's several issues with that:

The ores are just generic copper and gold.
Life Crystals are everywhere Underground, and said place is arguably easier to explore.
Getting from planetoid to planetoid is a trial-and-error process that requires pinpoint jumping so you're not missing your mark and falling to your doom. It's much easier to do with wings, but by the time you get wings, why even be up there?

Introducing new enemies and rewarding players with new drops (perhaps wind and thunder-related things as it's high up in the air) or otherwise making the areas more interesting would bring more attention to the sky, and not have players be like ''oh right, that place exists''.

Buff the Bloodflare Souls in the Auric Tesla Hooded Facemask ~~(I'm now realizing these armor names are too long)~~

Why?: In both the Bloodflare set and the Auric Tesla set, the souls deal 800 damage each. This makes them balanced towards the point where you'd get Bloodflare armor, and completely negates any purpose in even remembering them when you have the Auric Tesla set. They even both get the exact same 30 second cooldown.

Give mana increases a use after hitting the hard cap of 400 mana
At the moment the player can very easily hit this cap by just using 1 or two mage armor, accesories making the later increases worthless. Some ideas include giving a mana usage decrease equivalent to how much extra mana you should have

Prevent “something is approaching” from spawning a night time boss, such as the Eye of Cthulhu, after Midnight (the message itself would not appear after 11:00 PM) in Death Mode.

Having a boss spawn toward the end of the night when you don’t have enough time to kill it can be pretty annoying. Hopefully preventing night time boss spawns past midnight would guarantee that should a nighttime boss approach, the player has enough time to have a genuine fight with the boss.

Very many suggestions (over half of all posted during January) have been reaching the current delivery requirement of 90 stars. In order to make the devs less overwhelmed and allow them to focus more on the suggestions that get delivered, we are proposing that the star requirement be raised to 120.
Linked is a poll where you can vote on whether you think the star requirement should be kept at 90 stars, or if it should be raised to 120 stars.
(Note: All suggestions made prior to the official raising will still only require 90 stars. The voting period will end 48 hours from now, and (if successful) the raise will occur immediately after.)

Make Yharon's Phase 1 weapon drops craftable with Darksun Fragments
Reason: If for some reason you find that you killed a buffed Mothron before getting that Chicken Cannon, it is unobtainable unless you either fight Yharon in a new world or beat his 2nd phase. This is similar to how the music box for the old version of "Infernal Catharsis" can be crafted post-darksun.

Change the 'shroom rain' attack from crabulon a bit
Reason: during the fight, i've noticed one can go high enough for the shrooms to spaen below the player and dodging the attack becomes a little too easy.
Solution: perhaps it's possible to make the shroom rain spawn based on the player position instead of the boss position, i'm not sure about multiplayer but i guess a solution would be to make the rain spawn above each player but with less shrooms, to counter the swarm of mushrooms that would spawn.
Edit: perhaps in multiplayer the shroom rain could spawn above the highest player, someone suggested in disscussions.

add the ability to make coins from calamity bars
you won't be able to use these coins as money but they will have different effects when shot by the coin gun.
these coins can be at the ammo slots.
these coins will be craftable with 1 of their respective bar and a certain number of gold coins.

if a coin from chaotic bars or hell stone will be added it's description shall read:
"ancient currency of the underworld civilization now a days gone to waist" (to reflect some of the BE lore)
reason: coin gun post ML maybe post golem can be mostly underwhelming, giving it new ammo from calamity will allow it to be viable without having to endlessly farm for platinum coins.

Make Scal's projectiles explode when touching the borders of the box. To prevent them from being stuck outside the box, make it so that they spawn in an "ethereal" form that gets disabled once inside the arena (sort of what the old one's army does when going through blocks).

⭐ Allow the #spriting_and_art channel to be seen (but not posted in) by users who ask as an archive `(Repost)`

❔ Reason: While the new place that art and sprites for calamity is posted is the Calamity art server, there are some artworks and concepts that have not been reposted there and remain hidden in spriting and art, because of this, the channel is an important, but inaccessible part of the mod's history. A method of asking for access to the channel, as a similar situation to asking for wiki contributor, would prevent the channel from being flooded while still allowing those who wanted to learn more about the mod's history to do so.

Reduce the amount of debuffs most bosses are immune to, and/or give some variance to immunities

Reason: Although it is likely a pretty niche portion of the group, people enjoy- and often prefer- to play around with the brand new debuffs that tier of weapons offers, using them as their main damage source, or micromanaging debuff durations to maximize support in the case of non-damage focused debuffs. Sadly, however, most bosses are only vulnerable to debuffs in the tiers above the boss you want to fight. The only debuffs that break this trend are Ichor, Cursed Inferno, Shellfish Claps, Armor Crunch, and Enraged.
(~~At the very least allow Betsy's Curse to be in that grouping~~)

As an alternative, as most of the debuffs in Calamity and vanilla are damage-based or defense-based. Allow the slowing effect to function on bosses to a lesser degree, or by reducing their projectile velocity.

Decrease the overall health of Skeletron Prime.
As he stands right now, he's the longest-lasting mech boss compared to the other two by a wide margin. He still takes a while longer to kill with chlorophyte gear (and other 3-souls gear) than other mechs with early-hardmode stuff, plus the head and arms' speed and size makes non-homing weapons less viable than homing/AoE weapons.

Make the ravager's projectiles despawn once they are far away from him
Some of Ravager's projectiles go extremely far, deal a lot of damage and pierce tiles, making them serious villager NPC hazards, even when they are so far away you'd think their hitboxes aren't active.
Other ways to fix that problem:

Make the NPCs immune to these projectiles (and other boss attacks that pierce blocks).
Make these projectiles not pierce tiles (could lead to cheese).

Give some love to the Uzi
The Uzi is one of my favourite vanilla weapons but unfortunately it isn't that good especially since its rare and you usually get better guns before you get it. So, I think a potential damage buff and/or maybe one or two upgrades for it would give it some much desired love and attention. :)
-You could upgrade it once after beating Golem which could last you until Profaned Guardians maybe, then a second time after beating Yharon. Just a thought.

Create an effective difference between the "Obsidian" armor and the "Aerelite" armor for the "Rogue" class.
The Obisidian set is "equal" to the armor of "Aerelite" in terms of damage, defense, and buffs. The main reason for this request is for the simple fact that the obisidian armor can be obtained before the aerelite one, basically this "just" needs lava to create, this makes the Aerelite Rogue armor unnecessary.

Make it possible to put torches on planterboxes

Planterboxes are the best thing to make an arena with. They are easily accessible, can easily be placed horizontally, and don't require chopping every tree in your world for mismatched planks. The only issue is that you can't put torches on them, so the arena is unlit and you can't see anything rendering them useless in most arenas. You can even put campfires on planterboxes so why not torches?

Make dark hearts despawn when Hive Mind despawns or dies.

Make the Demonic Pitchfork accept Blood Samples into it's recipe as well as it's True Shadow Scales, or remove True Shadow Scales from it's recipe entirely

Why?: No idea why this isn't a thing already. It's not like it's solely a corruption-based weapon, either, as it uses more Hellstone-themed stuff than it does anything corruption. The True Shadow Scales were seemingly thrown into the recipe to gate it behind Hive Mind, but even that doesn't really make much sense, as the weapon is HM-exclusive (souls of night are in its recipe). That and because the True Shadow Scales are in the recipe, but it doesn't accept Blood Samples, it's nearly impossible to get this weapon in Crimson worlds.

And if it is meant to be a corruption-based weapon, I'm pretty sure the fact that it uses souls of night already is enough to get that across.

Nothing about it even matches this, either, as it looks more like a bloody morning star than anything you'd make "Sausage" with.

Make the transition between small and big Astrum Deus phases clearer
Currently it can be a little hard in all of the chaos to tell exactly when the boss changes phase, which could lead you to staying in the big worm's hitbox at the moment it switches back on. This is made even worse in multiplayer where you can't keep track of the total damage dealt to the small worms offscreen.
A way to fix this would be to make all of the worms flash bright white at the moment they switch.
Additionally, you could add a short invulnerability phase for both the player and the worms to let the players reposition themselves.

Summoner Class: Active Summons
Summoner as it is is a boring class. However, Borealis Bomber has a good idea within it, where you manage transitory minions to get the most out of your kit. It would take summoner in an interesting direction to add this as another playstyle. To give a few potential examples of how to expand the idea, an active summon could:
-Act like an NPC, attacking and moving independently, then despawning once killed or after a certain amount of time.
-Die upon reaching a target, summonable as much as you have mana, similar to the bee gun.
-Play out an attack at the location where it was summoned rather than following enemies. It would despawn after performing said attack.
-Drain mana over time but empower the player and any minions near itself while active, despawning after mana depletion.

Add a flight time hair dye sold by the stylist
Hair dyes are kind of unique in the vanity department because of their ability to make your appearance dynamic and slightly useful by reflecting some aspect of your current condition.
One statistic which is never trackable but would make for a fun and useful dye is flight time.
The hair would start one color at 100% flight time, go through one or more colors in a gradient then end with a final color at 0%.
As an example the colors could mimic the colors of the sky during a day, staring with a violet twilight, then sky blue zenith and finally a scarlet red sunset.

Instead of having Providence leave when it becomes night(and by proxy, not spawning during the night), make Provy be spawnable at any time, and that while alive, she forces it to be day

Why?: Weird and specific suggestion, but Providence is a goddess. She's made of fire, and clearly is extremely powerful, so it feels really lame that a goddess sees that it's night and just goes "Yeah lol try again later, its past my bedtime cya". It'd add a lot more charm to her fight that she'd force the sun to come out and stay out, and would also remove a particularly annoying detail when fighting her in hell; that you have to check what time it is before going to the bottom of the world, which requires you to have a watch(or it's upgrades), find a random obsidian clock, or the more annoying alternative of going back to the surface to check.

Obviously, as this would remove a time limit from the fight(a time limit that doesn't particularly fit, I must add), perhaps make her healthpool slightly larger as well, since the fight can now be longer without any problem.

Make bloodsplosions not trigger off of purely rng and/or add a limit to how much damage they can do

Why?: Bloodsplosions(from the Bloodflare ranger set) are ridiculously strong, doing 160% of the weapon's damage that fired it 60+ times over the course of a second-long lingering explosion. This is not an exaggeration. With a trigger of "2% chance every time you fire a ranged weapon" and nothing else, these are entirely too inconsistent, especially while being so capable of high-damage, even against bosses. You can have fights where it will never trigger, and you can have fights where it triggers more times than you can count.
This is especially cheesy when combined with anything that does high damage per shot, such as Halley's Inferno, which is recommended against DoG. It's also worth noting that bloodsplosions are also extremely strong against DoG, capable of skipping 10-15 seconds of the fight every time one triggers on the body, and maybe even more if you get a lucky shot on the head or tail. This is too strong for something that's so out of your control, especially when it's only rng dependant.
Here's a gif with on-tier equipment showing this fact, all of which hits the body and nothing else:

Buff the Gravity Globe and move it back to Expert Mode --- and rework ML's lore item to compensate.

❔
Even in Normal Mode, the Gravity Globe is still made utterly irrelevant by potions that you can obtain eons before ever fighting ML, and quite frankly of the two Expert drops ML has/had it's the one that fits in moreso with the concept of Expert drops as a mechanic. Buffing the Gravity Globe (e.g. mid-air flip, increased fall/jump speed when gravity is flipped) and moving it back to Expert would make it a relevant drop --- this would also allow for the Moon Lord's lore item to be reworked to perhaps give an effect that doesn't require making more people see Gravity Globe at its worst.

Buff the Stardust Guardian.
Reason: The guardian is very weak at its stage of the game and only doing around 40 damage. Its almost not worth double tapping the down key during bossfights. It's honestly a waste of a set bonus.

Possibly like the Aerospec Valkerie but thats up to the devs to decide.

Change Silva Armor’s set bonuses to make them less chance-based.
Examples:
Silva Helm set bonus’ chance to deal quintuple damage on true melee strikes
Silva Masked Cap set bonus’ chance to cause a quadruple damage explosion

Why change these bonuses?
The issue with the above two random chance damage attacks is that they are not very reliable. Especially in fights like Yharon’s, these set bonuses can cause balance issues, whether you get a lucky break with RNG, or have a healing orb return to you when you get massive damage, causing you to heal a ton of health. I think a good compromise would be to have these effects activate in different ways, such as causing these effects to activate on some sort of short cooldown or only apply in certain circumstances.
I think this could break up some of the jank that happens around Silva-tier, and give players some more reliable DPS choices.

Make the perferators blood geyser shots more visible.

It would be kinda like The fungal symbiote can drop from crabulon(or truffle lmao), the granite shrine item drops from the granite golems,the marble biome shrine item dropped by a medusa etc.

His head insta-kills you so what if when he's chasing behind you he'll open a portal and come barreling at you from your front, slaughtering you.

Reduce the explosion size and decrease the damage of Signus' Cosmic Mines. Why?

Signus' Cosmic Mines do 300 Damage (345 in Death) and they are REALLY hard to escape from because they home in on the player and explode when NEAR them. Because of how unavoidable they are, you end up getting hit by a lot of them. This is really problematic because of how much damage they do, and how hard they are to dodge (basically the only way to dodge them if they spawn right next to you is the RoD). Make them do less damage, or just make the explosion way smaller.

Some new weapons for classes that focuses on utility over damage (opening up a semi-support playstyle).

Reason: Having 5 playable classes is really fun as that opens up for a lot of play styles, but I feel like all the several weapons are more aimed towards general damage and people pick weapons based on ''who can kill this boss the fastest'' or ''which is the most reliable damage dealer''.

Creating weapons that focus more on utility (such as a spell tome that creates a shield that drains mana until mana bar is depleted or you deactivate the shield) or summons that deal with perhaps healing the player (or other players if you right click near them) would offer up more diverse play styles and allow players to further express themselves.

And while you could theoretically argue that ''potions are better than a healing summon'', it should not be understated how useful it is to have heals that don't give you Potion Sickness.

Increase the time between Polterghast Clone spawns or give it less health. Why?

The Polterghast Clone is an interesting addition to the fight, but it takes way to long to take them out. They have about 1/4 to 1/3 of Polterghast's full health (208,00 as compared to the real Polterghast's 660,000 in Expert) and it takes about 30-45 seconds to kill it. Polterghast spawns clones every 10 seconds, which is just barely enough time to drop his health about under 15% (tested with Profaned Partisan with Rogue setup in Death.) With Polterghast now starting his last phase at 75%, this makes him spawn WAY too many clones.

There are two main ways to fix this. Reduce the amount of health that the clone has (preferably around 120000 but thats up to you) OR to increase the amount of time between Clone spawns (Around 15-20 seconds.)

Make the Coin Gun's projectiles drop into the enemy after landing

Why?: You're shooting a physical object that is completely renewable (as bullets can't reasonably be fired again after being shot), and the coins then dropping into the enemy after hitting would force the enemy to pick them up, giving more incentive to kill them to get your money back. This would encourage actually serious play with the Coin Gun, since it'd make it so firing Gold or Plat Coins (the only real way to use it effectively) isn't just a money sink for no reason, and would reward good play and shooting by giving you potentially infinite, strong ammo. Naturally, if you miss, the coins shouldn't drop or something, idk.

And if you're playing on Normal mode, where enemies don't pick up money, then have your money back when hitting an enemy at all, I don't care.

With this change, it'd be a lot more interesting, because you'd have to earn the expert drop by beating the calamity evil boss so you can get the seeds to make an artificial evil biome where you can farm and summon the opposite evil bosses.

Make the Siren’s Hearts (both colours) provide immunity to cold and heat for death mode.

Reason: The Siren’s Heart’s ice shield functions very similarly to the Frost Barrier, which provides cold and heat immunity. To keep consistency, and also add a reason to try to get the Siren’s Heart from ???, making Siren’s Heart provide these immunities would add a great function.

It would also make sense, since you’re a literal Siren with an Ice Barrier.

Add new attacks to the Calamitas Clone fight.
This boss has undergone a few nerfs since its rework months ago in order to make the fight more fair. As it stands now, it's... kinda boring. There's not much to the fight now, and has become very repetitive and easy. Therefore, I suggest new attacks and mechanics to the fight. Especially to the clone itself. Just to throw in a few ideas (not all of them has to be added):

When a brother is killed for the first time, Calamitas retains the attacks from that brother. For example, when Cataclysm dies, Calamitas now has a flamethrower attack added to its attack cycle.
Remove the phase 1 entirely and buff Calamitas' overall health to compensate. I get that phase 1 is supposed to be the "not my final form" of the fight, but it doesn't really contribute much to the fight after the first time fighting her. Alternatively, only remove it on the first kill.
When Calamitas resurrects both brothers near the end, make her stop shooting entirely, as well as removing contact damage and dimming her sprite a bit, leaving the brothers to take care of you. Those brothers would be even stronger than the first time they were summoned, either being made faster or having new attacks. Calamitas herself will still follow the player, although not doing anything.

Decrease the damage of the naturally spawning sharknadoes/cthulhunadoes in death mode during pre-hardmode.
❔ : Currently, the sharks these 'nadoes shoot do about 150/200 damage respectively, and I feel like that's a bit too much if you just want to explore the world in early game. Even in late pre-hardmode when you're farming gear to get ready for the abyss, these 'nadoes can easily kill you since their spawns aren't that rare.

Repost since the channel got flooded with suggestions after I posted this, and I really really want it.

Add a Pre-Boss Hardmode Rogue Armor Set, or at least a Rogue helmet made from hardmode ore

This could be a whole rant of its own, split into potentially three suggestions, but this one should do enough. Right now, pre-boss hardmode is incredibly difficult for Rogue, mainly because the only hardmode armor they can use is Mollusk.
As it stands, Mollusk armor is very difficult to get without any other armor and/or post-boss weapons, since Crabs have a lot of health and defense and Giant Crabs take ten minutes to defeat and tend to wear you down.
Daedalus armor is an easy checkpoint, since it has helmets for all classes, but getting it requires defeating Cryogen, which is difficult even on Expert with just Statigel armor. Summoner, at least, has Spider armor--and although it's bad, it's better than nothing.
I can already hear people saying that you can just use the hardmode ore armors with a non-Rogue helmet (probably melee, since it gives a lot of defense), but the damage penalty is really not acceptable.

Tweak the death mode boss changes to readd missing mechanics

Some of the death mode boss changes completely remove phases or mechanics. This means that people who are new to the mod or replaying it after a long time won't experience bosses in their entirety. My assumption is that death mode was designed for experienced players, but that doesn't change the fact that some skilled players might want to play the hardest difficulty right away. This would mean

EoC has a short phase 1

Twins have short first phases

Siren would keep her intro phase and music, but it would be a lot shorter

Duke fishron would keep phase 1

These changes would only affect the first 5-10% of the fight so that the first phases are noticeable but don't make the fight drag on forever

Buff the Serpentine.

The Serpentine is pathetic. It's incredibly weak and even though it hits multiple times, the base damage is depressingly low. It has the stats of a pre-Hardmode item.

Due to how much defense everyone has in Hardmode, every hit only does between 1-5 damage, which is HORRIBLE, considering it doesn't even have infinite pierce. Every other magic weapon that you can get outclasses it; even pre-Hardmode weapons like Abyssal Tome and Black Anurian do much more damage. It's insanely bad.

Also, the controls are very jank. It has a flight path of its own and then sharply turns to follow you, and then keeps flying and turns around again after a delay.

A craftable summon method for the Martian Invasion

Why?: No one enjoys going to space just to sit for 2-5 minutes to get inhaled by harpies and wyverns, especially when certain weapons could easily end up slaughtering the martian probe while you're dealing with the to-be-genocided harpy army. It's also worth noting that this is a lategame event that contains many useful items, about a third of which are needed for crafting trees later on. This is also the only event in the game that is not summonable, which is irritating sometimes, given that it's substantially more useful than Goblin Army and Pirate Invasion overall.

Rework the rage and adrenaline. Rage irl makes people be much more offensive then defensive, so when you fill your rage bar, you do more damage, but also take way more.

Make tesla potions not kill critters.
❔ : This is a really minor thing, but it's pretty annoying that you just kill every critter that comes near you. This is especially annoying when you see a golden critter, but don't want to get rid of the potion. And considering how early game this potion is, golden critters are pretty valuable at that point. Inferno potions don't kill critters either, so it doesn't make much sense for this to do it.

Spread some of the Martian Saucer's drops to other Martian Madness enemies
Martian Madness is currently just waiting for Martian Saucer while a bunch of fodder clog up spawns. Not only is this hella boring but also inconsistent with vanilla's other events because those event filler also get some drops such as the Warblade from Goblins. Moving some of Martian Saucer's drops to other mobs will both make the event more interesting and make getting those drops easier.

Examples of moving drops include:

Rework Trinket of Chi
Why?: There is almost zero benefits from the Trinket except for completionists. It's too troublesome for extended use and its rarity adds an extra layer of disappointment. Take into account with other class weaponry found before killing any boss, to give a sense of its early game viability:
Melee - Avoid it. The buff wears off shortly into the swing meaning you can only get the boosted damage from hitting an enemy above or behind you.
Ranger - Decent for slower weaponry such as the Musket, but no point in using it when autoswing and fast weaponry effectively makes it a negligibility.
Mage - Ditto for Ranger, but unless projectiles linger (like Vilethorn, Crimson Rod, and Coral Spout) there's no extended benefit to it.
Summoner - Why you would want to use it for summoner is beyond me. Wulfrum Droids and Slimes don't really show a notable buff and you're better off moving around anyway. (See Overall)
Rogue - Can possibly synergize well with rogue stealth, but almost every weapon is swung at a rather quick pace, letting their viability drop.
Overall - It heavily hampers your damage per second to almost none (moot Summoner) and leaves you wide open to other enemies. You're way better off moving about to not only increase survivability but to also deal more damage.

Make Ice Golem more interesting in it's behavior and drops

Why?: Worst "miniboss" design in the game, so bad that people forget it exists. Slow moving, giant hurtbox that literally just shoots single lasers at you that are extremely easy to avoid. And if you actually managed to get hit by them, it's biggest power is that it hard-freezes you for a solid 1-2 seconds(which it can use to keep you in a loop), which is also mitigated easily by any immunity to Frozen, which removes any difficulty from these things at all.
Their only drops are Frost Cores and Eleum, both of which are much easier to farm/obtain from other methods. There's barely even a point to them giving you Frost Cores, either, because the instant you can defeat Cryogen (which should be immediately, given he's the easiest HM boss, and Ice Golem's are HM specific) you have a much more interesting, faster, and far more profitable way of obtaining Frost Cores, along with the even better bonus of not needing to mine a ton of Adamant/Titanium just to make some alright armor by using Frigid Bars.

Also, they're ugly as hell.

Increase the amount of Revivify Potions obtained in 1 craft
The current recipe is a little difficult to complete until Post-Golem (With Spread Rod being unlocked and Cinder being dropped by Golem itself) which is fine, but then there's the price of 5 Crystal Shards for 1 pot. Crystal Shards are not hard to get, but you need some time to get a decent amount for crafting Revivify Pots and even so you'll see yourself needing to get some more soon because Revivify only lasts 30 seconds, so overall it seems that the time needed to get a considerable amount of these pots is unbalanced with the time they'll actually last

Increase the variety of furniture in the Brimstone Crag Houses:
Similarly to the Underworld houses, the Brimstone Crags Houses all look pretty simple. They're all just cookie-cutter rooms with a door and some tables and chairs alongside a shadow chest, while essentially every other item of Ancient Furniture is left unused, even though they could be added to these ruined homes to make them a bit less bland.

Alongside this, other simple changes like having the furniture items occasionally be replaced by Ashen Furniture (The not-ruined Ancient Furniture) would be cool to further increase the diversity of these homes, as well as adding some of the paintings found in the ruined Underworld Towers.

Have Deep Wounder be sold after Calamitas has been defeated instead of Plantera

Reason: Defeating Calamitas is the only way to get Lumenyl and Depth Cells.

Buff direct weapon drops from bosses, and to compensate increase their rarity.

Calamity currently suffers from a seldom discussed issue of boss weapon bloat. Think about what usually happens when you open a boss treasure bag: sometimes you'll get a weapon you were really hoping for, and then you stash away 2-5 other weapons that spat out and don't really serve any purpose, even for the classes they were made for. In essence, this makes sense -- bosses are pretty much required, so you're not going out of your way and putting in extra effort to get these weapons. Therefore, they shouldn't be as strong, which creates the issue at hand.

My proposal for resolving this issue is to buff these weapons, either by making them more interesting or just making them stronger, but making them less likely to be obtained. Currently, you can typically wind up with 2-4 weapons dropped from any given boss treasure bag for multiple classes. Either these droprates can be reduced to having an average of one or two weapons, or forcing one weapon to drop from the given available pool, like Moonlord. At first glance this might sound taxing, but remember, the goal is that these weapons should be much more impactful after these changes. Instead of rolling the dice for the one good weapon out of 7, you'll be getting one weapon out of the 7 good ones.

I know this change is a little controversial since it may inadvertently increase the possible grind for players, and some weapons like Entropy's Vigil and Staff of the Mechworm might become more elusive than they are already. Feel free to propose ideas to help combat those weaknesses.

If we are going to have weather effects, I think a few changes need to be done.

Firstly, make it rain less. I mainly play death mode, and I’m sick of it always raining on the first or second day, and always getting struck by lightning and frozen in the snow biome

Secondly, make the lightning strike less frequently. This isnt Tranzit from black ops 2, its terraria. (Also tranzit was the worst zombies map)

Third, a tornado type thing would be cool for hardmode. In flat areas, you should have a chance of getting a tornado. They don’t damage structures but they can pick up ground items and throw them around. If they pick up the player, they dont directly damage them. If an item they pick up hits the player, then they take damage based off of how rare the item is. (Example: Demon shade armor hits you for idk 200 while a dirt block hits for 5). The tornado is hardmode exclusive. This would make death mode more challenging and give a reason to pick up items. Also tornadoes can’t spawn during boss fights. Tornadoes in the hallow and corruption spread their biome accordingly, requiring the players attention, or maybe something different idk

Remove Living Shards from the Brimlash:
None of the other item crafted with the Unholy Cores use living shards, so I don't see why the Brimlash should be an exception to this. Also, if the Brimlash really needs to be locked behind Plantera/Calamitas, swap the living shards for Ashes of Calamity since Calamitas is more closely related to the Brimstone Crags than Plantera and the Living Shards are.

Nerf yharon phase 1. I feel like yharon phase 1 is very very hard and dumb compared to phase 2. Phase 2 is very smooth and easy, and I feel like it's pretty dumb because of how easily you can cheese phase 2. Phase 1 Yharon does way more stuff, and even with silva armour gives me (not sure about others) a complete headache, he does far too much damage, and when he enters phase 2 you pretty much win by a 80% chance compare to phase 1. I understand yharon is meant to be like the 2nd end boss. But come on this is insane.

Each playthrough I do yharon phase 1 takes me at least more then 50 tries. While yharon phase 2 takes at least 2, i'm sure others can agree with me.

Yharon's giant flamenado's that cover half of the arena is pretty unfair since it does alot of damage and gives the player a tough time to dodge it with ROD. In death mode (this is mostly why im complaining about yharon, since its death mode), His charges are extremely fast but in rev/expert it would be slow. What I believe could be a resolve for this is keep the giant flamenadoes big, but possibly lower the damage or make the flamenado smaller.

Yharon is extremely unfair for summoner, especially phase 1. For tons of reasons. Your summons not being able to attack him fast enough, he outpaces your minions. He outpaces you and you die, not enough damage. Even with silva amour (which is post yharon phase 1 gear) this boss gives me quiet alot of trouble. I believe some minor adjustments should be changed for yharon. Phase 1 should be quiet easier, with small changes with yharon's charges and the flamenado's/yharon him self doing less damage. Phase 2 the damage is reasonable since its phase 2 and is meant to be hard but the flamenados should be smaller, so players do not get mixed up with flamenado's and anti-escape flamenados (which one shot u if you touch them) and due to them being so massive you can get confused. Which is why another user sugested that the anti-escape flamedoes should just be one colour. I think Black/purple/pink should be the colour of the anti escape flamenadoes since the colour mostly represents death. (Pink petals represents death in Japanese culture) This would be a cool feature, and could give players a easier time while dodging flamenados.

Reason: As of now mollusk armor is barely used in many playthroughs of the mod, and many people either never knew of it or forgot about it (I've been asking around, so i'm pretty sure about that), moving it somewhere else (perhaps early/late prehardmode) would make it more noticeable and perhaps even useful.

so i will be fully honest: death mode moon lord is the laziest boss calamity has ever made.
he is easy progression wise, he is EXTREAMLY unoriginal and he has no difference between stage one and two.
like i think all that the team did was delete his 2nd phase and said done new hardest moon lord fight.

i want the boss to have a complete rework from where he is now because while king slime here shows he is the king of all slimes,
EoC having a bit more brain then before forcing you to stop and jump every other set of dashes,
BoC suddenly having an anxiety attack after you kill all of his creepy creepers,
skeletron teleporting around before his head bangs telling you to role with this,
skeletron prime spawning some probes and shooting lasers and rockets well after you destroy the arms,
the destroyer shooting both ice and homing lasers he found in the dumpster he was made from,
the twins over here shooting rockets and trying to get you off guard,
golem separating his head to become the most cluster fucked boss to exist in calamity vanilla,
and the cultist not giving a fuck how many times you have hit his clone yet they won't go away leaving you with 100 clones and a mad cult leader to take care off.

meanwhile the moon lord here just say idc if you killed my eyes and know how to avoid them all the times i'm gonna be a lazy fat ass and gonna use the same dumb tricks that won't work on you after your 2nd try to kill him while my core is open to attack and is always the same spot, shouldn't he be the final boss of the vanilla game? because in calamity he is a bigger pushover them golem
*for a solution after you kill an eye make the eye's attack do a different attack that is a stronger version of the base attack of the eye
or make the eyes in the hands attack at the same time after they have both been destroyed

Change the Yharon border infernadoes to make them non lethal

I feel like, while these are designed to limit the area in which you can fight Yharon, it can be a bit frustrating if you just so happen to get a bit too close to one and suddenly the fight’s over in a blink of an eye. One change I propose is that, instead of making them instakill, instead just make them do a significant amount of contact damage, but have them drag you back into the arena area if you pass through them, similarly to the WoF. This won’t necessarily kill the player, but still punish them significantly for touching the border, as the drag would leave them vulnerable to Yharon’s attacks as they’re also taking damage from the tornado itself

so can the invisibility potion make the player translucent and have an out line of your character.

the main reason why is its hard to dodge attacks if u can't see your character and its useful for rouge but it's worthless for a lot of bosses (moon lord,DoG's lazers bullet hell and death mode's insta-kill jaw, yharon, ect) making it so u can see your character's outline or making it translucent will make the invisibility potion very good late game.

Make the Blood moon locked behind the Eye of Cthulhu / Any Evil bosses.

Despite occuring not so often, there might be players that are just trying to collect fallen stars at early game since they are a mage/summoner class or just building their own base in the surface only to be screwed by an unlucky early blood moon.
This forces them them to go underground, avoiding the surface all together since they are too weak to hold off the incoming horde or force their base to be floating off the ground which may look ugly for certain bases.

This is comparable to sandstorms (other than so that it doesn't unintentionally screw the fight against the Desert Scourge) whrere it makes you avoid the desert even if you plan to go there for something like Desert feathers for the sandstorm in a bottle.

Give all post-ML armour sets their own wings.

It feels weird to use the wings for each armour set and receive bonuses until you get to bloodflare and there just aren't any wings besides tarragon. It actually results in bloodflare giving less defence than tarragon, even though the armour is supposed to be a direct upgrade. Adding wings for all these armour sets would make sense as all the other modded armour sets have their own wings.

Give the Lazinator a more complex recipe (such as adding AdamanTitanium tier Bars) and make it no longer pierce targets.
Lazinator is a instant upgrade to the laser rifle, and yet is arguably not an upgrade. It pierces, as do several magic weapons if the their such as Frigidflash Bolt, Ichor Spray, and Serpentine to name a few. Making it harder to craft gives the player a reason to use the laser rifle, and making Lazinator not pierce distinguishes it as a single target, accuracy based magic weapon, a set of characteristics that would be largely unique to it at this tier.

Be able to remove alcohol and Fabsol's Vodka by clicking on the buff icons

Why? Well, Simple. Why can we remove any effect with right click, but not the alcohol? It's kind of annoying to deal with an effect that has a downside and you can't be able to remove it other than just killing yourself. Imagine this: You just defeated a boss and you no longer need the alcohol buffs. But because you can't remove them, you're gonna have to deal with the downsides that go along with it, while you are most likely not gonna use the upsides of the effects since you just beat a boss and just wanna do something else like Mining or Exploring.

Sugg idea: Add an attack for death EoC where instead of it charging horizontally at you it will occasionally charge at amoderate speed vertically ahead of you (predicts where you are going to be) and increase it's frequency the longer the fight goes on.

Death EoC only has one phase and once you learn the trick of just running to one side, jumping on the horizontal charge and changing direction, it is really boring and easy. There is nothing the eye can really do to hit you. I think adding an extra attack would add some depth to the fight, because currently there isn't much to it on death mode.

Make Spell AI enemies ignore the Tesla Potion's electric aura

Reason: This potion can be used to trivialize the Eater of Worlds' fight. The electric aura lets you completely ignore vile spit, which makes this boss much less threatening. It lets you put all of your focus on the worms and some occasional cursed flames, making this boss only somewhat difficult near the end. While the Inferno Potion can do the same thing, that's obtained much later than this potion. The potion is already good enough for how early you obtain it, and shouldn't be able to completely shield these projectiles, and leave Eater of Worlds to be barely a threat even in Death Mode.

Add a new field to summon weapons: Minion movement speed

Reasons:

Every other class has some form of exclusive field: Melee - Melee speed; Range - Velocity; Magic - Mana usage reduction; Rogue - Stealth. While summoner is just boring number of minions and purely minion damage. Adding this additional field would make summoner more interesting.
The main problem with summoner that differs from other classes is that the minions are often unable to catch up with the enemies/bosses if they're fast and only chip away / deal most of the damage when the bosses are stationary. Increasing minion movement speed will allow the minions to catch the enemies/bosses more frequently so there is more stability.

Everyone's talking about minions. Has anyone really cared about sentries?
Maybe not. Maybe that's because sentries are "generally unviable" anyway. But no. It's still a subclass. And it's very different from minions, as they don't really take up slots, and are stationary, and ultimately require you to care about placement.

So why can nearly every playstyle get a subclass that's completely viable to suit them, while people who are very used to playing with sentry weapons don't get these choices?

Minions are very popular. That's why even though summoner doesn't offer as many weapons to choose from as, say, melee, but there are still nearly triple the amount of minion summons than sentry. In my opinion, sentries suit a different playstyle, and therefore, to compensate that, there should be more sentry weapons spread throughout the game to give sentry summoners more choice.

Incorporate more lore into the tooltips of items throughout the game.

Currently, a vast majority of Calamity's lore is not in-game, found only on walls of text on the forum page (and wiki). Some bits and pieces can be found in tooltips, NPC dialogue, and chat messages, but nonetheless an overwhelming portion can only be found outside of the game. (The Lore Items do help with this, but each one can only say so much.)
A simple but effective way to solve this issue is by continuing on the item tooltip track, taking a page out of Dark Souls' book and including small tidbits of lore within the tooltips of many more items, which would allow the player to piece together a more complete picture in a relatively organic way.
Small examples:
Urchin Spear - "Once the weapon of choice among Amidias's knights."
Planty Mush - "Something other than sunlight has been keeping it alive in the depths."
Tarragon armor - "A hero to many, even Braelor eventually fell to the tyrant's forces."

Add a consumable that removes all buffs and debuffs given by alcohols
Since removing alcohol's effects with a right click wouldn't make sense but some player really want a way to turn off their buffs after a boss fight, why not provide a way in the form of a consumable, possibly a pricey or hard to make one?
It could be themed as a "natural remedy", "blood god's detergent" or anything else, provided that it requires a little effort to obtain in high quantities.

Change the "Electrified" debuff' tooltip from "you cannot move" to "you really shouldn't move alot"

The debuff's tooltip is currently misleading, as it deals damage to player at all times, with amount increasing when player is moving, when tooltip states that you shouldn't be able to move at all, no?

This is a little more of QoL or fix something that Re-Logic screwed up thing, but I believe that these little polishes are also bringing new life to the mod, showing that CalamityMod devs don't only care about making mod, but also fixing silly mistakes of Terraria devs.
Edit: Accidentally hit Enter without Shift, don't mind it.

Make damage penalties for summoners when holding different class weapon be based on tier of armor instead of being a flat percentage decrease

This might sound strange, but allow me to explain it a bit:
In the beggining of game, summoners don't really have any real choice of weapon with considerable damage/good homing. You get a slime, a wulfrum drone, something similar, what does like 8 damage and often just can't get enemies properly. Why should summoners not help them out? Later, when you get Herrings and such, this is a bit more understandable, as flying fishy minions are a bit better. Not even mentioning Post-ML, as we all know what it looks like for summoners.
That's why I believe that this should be a progression thing to give summon-based playthrough have a little kick in the start. Why would you be punished for trying to help you minions out in the beggining?
The values wouldn't even have to be radical, Wulfrum could give like +10% damage or so. Going through progression, Forbidden armor would have it 0% increase, and later armors would be given penalties, up to like -25% for Auric.

Lastly, yes, I know what it looks like, no need to be radical about this suggestion. It's simply something that popped in my mind once, and I hope the devs would be able to make something better out of this.

Make the Lunar Flares spawned by the Stellar Contempt pass through walls

This is just a personal experience but when I tried fighting with this weapon, the flares spawn very far offscreen, and always hit a block even when less than half of the arena is offscreen

Change the functionality of the SDFMG for the sake of differentiating it from the very similar Seadragon

Why go through the effort of doing this?
Although not unbalanced for its tier, the SDFMG is functionally near identical to the Seadragon, a weapon added in a later update but sharing almost all of its properties (high rate of fire, chance to fire homing rockets, same chance to not consume ammo)

I think a great way to rework this weapon would be altering the fishron rockets, such as making them fire harmlessly behind the player and, after waiting a second, have them shoot towards the cursor. This would make for a more interesting weapon (although it is just an example and devs are free to change it to their liking) and help delineate it from the Seadragon.

the plantation staff should be buffed. For a weapon requiring the entrophy's vigil it certainly isn't what I'd call an upgrade, and is actually surpassed by its materials.

Buff/fix the life steal of rogue Bloodflare armor The life steal only works at around half health even though the description mentions nothing regarding a >50% restriction. The health reward is also completely worthless, since it only heals you for ONE. To even get that, you have to crit the enemy in order to provide yourself a 50% chance for the ability to activate. It's simply too insignificant and somewhat misleading.

buff the rare sand elemental. For all the grinding it takes to get one you'd think it'd be a bit more useful, however rather than actually making an effort to heal you, it just throws the orbs into the air, making it a hassle to get to them without taking more damage than they actually heal you for due to the distraction. The heartreach potion rectifies it, but honestly for the rarity it should honestly just naturally be like that, because it's not garunteed you'll be able to grab it, even if it homes at you. Alternatively, the rare sand elemental could instead leave the orb where she's standing at without it moving, and allow the health orb to last longer. If this is too powerful, the heal amount could be nerfed if need be, but as of now, rare waifu is utterly useless without a potion, and a potion shouldn't be needed just for an accessory to be of use. Also to note, heartreach potions are not the easiest thing to make. You have to fish in the crimson. Corruption worlds can't even obtain them unless they use blood orbs or get lucky and find them in a chest or pot

Add rogue and maybe summoner variants to the vanilla hardmode ore armor sets -- the lack of one right now, especially for rogue (since summoner at least gets spider armor pre hm-boss), makes the other classes more appealing in that stage of the game

idk on how hard it would be to make this but a celestial pillar for rogue would be cool.

Make it so the Death mode underground darkness starts fading out as soon as you enter the bottom of the Cavern layer.
(Aka the layer with the cracks in the rocks and flowing lava)
The underground darkness disappears as soon as you enter the Underworld and comes back when you enter the Cavern layer again, which leads to it flashing on and off when you're fighting a boss like Brimstone Elemental, with the arena extending a bit outside the Underworld. This change should make it slowly fade in and out rather than outright going completely dark. Also, as you approach the Underworld, it makes sense for the environment to be getting brighter and brighter.

Move Terminus from Yharon's drop-pool to the Juvenile Eidolon Worm as a rare drop
Currently there is only two ways to obtain the terminus: Retrieving it from the bottom of the abyss, and more commonly defeating P2 Yharon. The reason Yharon drops the item is save players from having to create another world as well as incase you didn't have Calamity installed beforehand. However, the reason for moving the terminus to the worm's drop-pool is:

  **1.**It would not only solve the problem of poor abyss generation, but also not force the terminus onto the player.
 **2.**It would make more sense thematically.

Failing to pick up a lore item should cause it to drop again once the lore item despawns. Picking up and trashing the lore item should not. They float in the air, so if a boss dies in a weird area you might miss it and forget to pick it up.

A more particular critique of Yharon phase 1:

Recently a fair handful of people have voiced their concerns with Yharon's first phase, multiple of which stating they find the first phase more difficult than the second, interestingly enough.

After this thorough discussion, there were two major qualms people had with the Yharon fight: the unintuitive element of the big flame tornados, and the rapidity of Yharon's movement (namely relating to dashes). Instead of describing these issues, I'll post the solutions and what advantages they may have to save repetition and space.

In response to the big flame tornado issue: create or update the existing sprite to stand out like a sore thumb relative to other projectiles, and have it start considerably slower than it does currently. This will give players the opportunity to learn of this projectile, and thusly they may be able to react to and play around the big flame tornados instead of being confused and blaming RNG or otherwise for their defeat. This element deserves to be preserved, it just needs to be easier to understand in tandem. (As an additional bonus, having some form of animation with dust particles or something to indicate that the projectile is tied to the flame tornados would be quite helpful)

In response to the movement and dash issue, I believe by either creating more gaps or lengthening the existing gaps between dashes, there would be two present benefits. Firstly, the final two subphases of Yharon phase 1 would be less of an intensive difficulty spike, balancing it closer to the relative difficulty of phase 2, and can secondarily give summoners more small opportunities to deal meaningful, essential damage. It is notoriously difficult for summoners to combat Yharon, so this should play a small part in alleviating that issue.

calamity has rebalanced various vanilla items, so why not buff the stardust guardian?

The stardust guardian is the set bonus of the stardust armor, a post ml set. Yet the guardian only deals about 30 damage andattacks very slow. Many argue that it's goal is to take aggro away instead of dishing out damage, however it doesn't do the best job at that either.

Due to it's slow attack speed, fast enemies will escape easily.
It can't be put in the air, sky enemies can come and attack you.
It's radius isn't particularly large. It can't hit things that are more than about 10 tiles away from it. again, innefective on fliers
It doesn't work on bosses, so all you'd want it for in that situation is for the damage.
There are two ways i have in mind for how it could be changed

Option 1 - Aggro Mode
stardust guardian could force all enemies on screen to stop what they're doing entirely and try to attack it for a short period of time. It could then return to you and go on cooldown. It could work on bosses too, but maybe for a shorter time
Option 2 - The Offensive
Damage heavily buffed.
There's also the common idea of being able to defend you without being deployed to stop enemies who may have gotten to you.

I personally think the best road is a combination. When not deployed it will fly over and clap enemies within a short range of you for very high damage and knockback, but at a rather slow speed. When deployed, it could then become the aggro generator.

Tl:dr a post ml set shouldn't have a set bonus this weak. it needs some budfs

instead remove the effect to give to the sea urchin the summoner set summons for you a small buff like more consistency in where it fires or a chance to inflict venom

Make Crabulon summonable only on Surface Mushroom Biome

Even if crab produces light, it's not enough to see all projectiles.
Barrage of shrooms are not visible behind walls, leading to unfair ambushes.
In Deathmode, there is underground darkness, that makes Crabulon unintentionally harder.
Natural mushroom biomes are oftenly generated in weird way, forcing to bombard the arena to make boss fightable.
As conclusion of most reasons, this boss requires a lot of preparation in form of artificial light, when other bosses can be fought without light.

If devs wish to leave the option, then make crab produce a lot more light, so all attacks can be visible. HDhurdur

make lightning less common or deal less damage. At the current state lightning is a huge annoyance and prevents the player from exploring even more so in the early game when it can one shot you. I like the mechanic but it feels too common and feels like completely RNG. Right now there is the torriental tear which can make the rain stop if used, but it can be found in the abyss and requires a shadow key which is post skeletron, and by that time you probably won't need it nearly as much anymore because you'll have much better gear and more HP to survive the lightning. The tear used to drop from desert scrooge which I think is a good time to get this item.

Give Cataclysm and Catastrophe their own health bars instead of sharing one with Calamitas

Her brothers don't have a very clear indication for their health, and this will definitely fix that.
It'll be better than the small text below Calamitas' health bar that only indicates if any brothers are alive because the text is pretty hard to see due to how small it is
I've gotten hit multiple times trying to look at and read the small text. It's too tiny.
Providence's guardians and Scal's brothers also have seperate health bars to make their health more clear.
As a bonus, Calamitas' health bar won't drastically rise when her brothers are summoned, an example of that being when her health is at 5% and rises to nearly 50% when both brothers respawn.

Armored diggers are some of the most annoying things in the entire game due to how you can be underground, then 4 seconds later, "Armored Digger has awoken!"

Draedon's remote is pretty much useless, as those who actually use it will more often than not, be overpowered anyways. Tl;dr, reduce armored diggers spawn rate, as they have no purpose spawning so often other than to annoy the player.

Make trophies have a guaranteed drop chance, but only the first time you kill its respective boss.

The way I see it, trophies are meant to show which bosses you have managed to defeat.

I want to be able to hang trophies on my wall as I progress through the game naturally, rather than having to grind bosses to do so

Why? Quite simply, so people would not have to sacrifice an accesory slot for sake of some challenge, esspecially before difficult/ hectic fights. In such fights, dealing most DPS can litterally safe you from dying when dealing the fatal blow to the boss.

Some might argue that removing its "Accesory" trait would be good, but take this into perspective: You have fought alot/ insert anything tedious and with alot of fighting/ dodging. Now, you would just like to casually unequip DB to gather loot without woorrying about lava/ random bullcrap murdering you in Flash speeds. But how? Remove from inventory? But where, so it would be safe? Yeah, you might carry a Flying Pig pocket, but not everyone does even have them. Simply equipping DB into vanity slot would nullify its effect for as long as one needs, no?

In Death Mode, when the player is in the Jungle and it's raining, have them be affected my Mighty Wind or a similar debuff

This change makes sense, as storms in real jungle areas tend to be significantly more intense. This also makes travelling through the Jungle harder, inconveniencing the player if they go too far in not one, but both directions if they travel too far while it's raining.

Make Plague Chargers drop stingers
These are infested wasps and stingers are a staple to a wasp's drop table, so it seems like a mistake that these things are missing. The nature of the plagued jungle also makes stinger farming just a bit harder due to normal wasps and hornets being clogged out by plague mobs. So making Plague Chargers drop stingers makes making Abombinations just a bit easier and faster. If this causes Abombinations to become too easy to craft somehow, then increase the stinger requirement to compensate.

Add a recipe for the Dungeon Biome Chest weapons

Why: because the Abyss can sometimes consume a chest meaning you never get the item. and several of the items have upgrades that a player might want, especially in regards to scourge and vampire knives
Proposed Recipe: Biome Key + Ectoplasm + Bar of Life (subject to change of course)

Alternatively, make them sold by the Clothier post-Plant if the respective key is in inventory (just post-Aureus for HFSD)

Make Providence, Brimstone Elemental, the Profaned Guardians, Astrum Aureus, and Astrum Deus as well as potentially other biome-specific bosses Despawn All Enemies in their Respective Biome when Spawned

Although there are plenty of biome-specific bosses besides these five, I'm pointing these out in particular because of the biomes they are in. This really is a pain because of leftover enemies, which can get in the way and ruin the fight on some occasions. The enemies of these biomes specifically are annoying because:

They do at least a considerable amount of damage at the point of the game you'd be fighting the boss and generally spawn a lot, especially with Demon Trophy and/or Revengeance
They have enough health that the player has to stop focusing on the boss and focus on them instead during the fight
These bosses (with the exception of maybe Profaned Guardians) are all fairly punishing, and getting distracted can be fatal
They spawn A LOT (I know I already said that, but it's important enough to merit more than one bullet point)

I listed the bosses above in the order of which is the most irritating. For Providence, and in a few cases Brimstone Elemental (should I be fighting her in place of Skeletron Prime), I have gotten to the point where I have to teleport down into the arena, immediately pause, get the summon ready, and begin the fight ASAP so no enemies can spawn. Profaned enemies have a lot of health and do a lot of damage, and spawn in ridiculously quickly even with a mix of Calming, Zen, Peace Candles, and Tranquility Candles--though that may be a bug. For Brimstone Elemental, only minor spawn reduction items are available (as she is usually fought before Plantera), and the Brimstone Crag enemies are hard to see and can do a lot of damage even in mid-hardmode. Building an arena is hard enough, but having a round of potions wasted because of some goddamn Scorn Eater is really obnoxious.

nerf the cryogenic staff for summoner
the cryogenic staff is an smart targeting, hard hitting, insanely fast firing sentry for summoner that can spray an entire screen with bouncing projectiles. the sentry it self cost no summon slots.
it's biggest weakness are weak and fast enemies
this make the weapon absolutely broken with damage and it's only down side being that it doesn't follow you however this won't matter when most bosses are too big to miss (destroyer, leviathan and AS) have more then one hit box (skelly prime, twins and calamitas) or stand completely still for a good amount of time (brimstone elemental, planterra and calamitas' brothers)

Buff the godspawn helix staff. The godspawn helix staff summons a thingy that circles you and fires at stuff it's pretty cool. However, the dragon and cells who, mind you are obtainable at nearly the same exact time, outclass it in every way. This doesn't make much since either since dealing with deus is significantly more difficult than just killing the stardust pillar and then bekng garunteed to be able to craft it, vs the fact that astrum isn't even garunteed to drop it. Because of these factors, the godspawn helix staff should be buffed in some way, whether it be damage, firerate or both.

I did in fact test them beforehand under the same buffs. godspawn helix had about 1-2k dps. the dragon was able to hit 7k

Make it so that Yaron can't deal contact damage while changing from phase 1 to phase 2. As Yaron regenerates health, he spawns all his regular projectiles and flaming tornadoes and dashes at phase 2 speed. Dealing contact damage while the boss is invincible seems a bit unfair as it gives little to no breathing room between phases. Maybe a similar function like Astrum Acerus where he doesn't deal contact damage but still spawns all his stuff.

bleak gyro Feb 28, 2020, 12:20 PM

Fuck me I am tired of getting screwed over by this but
If Yharon is transitioning to his 2nd phase and therefore can't be hit or targeted, he shouldn't be flying around to deck me in the face with his huge contact damage. Let alone his projectiles. Either have him stay still and spit projectiles, or remove the damage in general whilst he is invulnerable (except for border tornadoes of course)
(also doesn't help that he's hard to see as well when he's doing that. Can you make him a little less transparent? Maybe just a little brighter? I find it actually makes it really hard to see him with all the filtering going on from the fight ontop of the weird glow he gets during the phase transition.)
The overgrown jungle chicken needs to step off for gods sake. The man not only has two massive healthbars each with a phase, but the fact he can still ass-blast you whilst regenerating AND still having the massive tornadoes going is a huge pain realistically, whilst he can also spew out projectiles and just causes an overwhelming and unfair part of the fight. Silva armor regen? Lol what's that, can't hit him. Lifesteal weapons? Trash binned! Realistically you have no other way to sustain yourself in a difficult fight as such with the gear you're given because of that, leading to cheap hits, and an otherwise great fight going to the bin because the derpy jungle chicken wants to make your life a living hell.
Please, please just change this. We get the same courtesy on DoG when he pops in fresh from either lasers or tps, even his phase change, yet why doesn't that extend to Yharon?

An early game item that can be used to turn a weapon or tool to a neutral reforge (no positive or negative reforge bonuses.) This is mainly so in the earlygame, if someone spends a bit of rare resources to craft a weapon (like the crystaline, which requires diamonds) before the tinkerer is available, then won't end up stuck with a shoddy weapon reforge that will tank the usefulness of said weapon, but will be able to at least have a neutral reforge.

Give Xeroc Pitchforks a 50% Chance to not Consume Ammo, but Remove its 50% Chance to Drop as an Item after Being Thrown

Right now, the Xeroc pitchforks have a 50% chance to drop as an item when they hit the ground. Considering that they are fairly expensive (as they are consumable and use meld bars), this makes sense as a way to conserve them. Of course, you could just increase the recipe by 50% to 30 per bar, but I'll assume the devs have their reasons for implementing this behavior. However, the pitchforks are big, and thus take up a bunch of space. Plus it's annoying as all hell to constantly scour for them if you need them or if you just are really paranoid about wasting them, and annoying if you have enough and it just makes a distracting sound and creates text. Making a 50% chance to not consume the item would be pretty much the same effect, and I really feel like I shouldn't have to go picking up my projectiles this far into the game.

Elysian Aegis and a few other dash accessiories should not need to be toggled to be visible for their dashes to work. There's no particular reason why you wouldn't want a dash, but not everyone wants the shield visible because they don't like how it looks or messes up their vanity. If it needs to be toggled visible to dash then it could at least not be shown unless dashing since i doubt most people are actually concerned with the look of shields (since they'd just wear them in the vanity if that was the case)

Give true melee weapons the ability to parry and block attacks
True melee weapons, as it currently is, are very unsafe. You rush up to monsters(sometimes bosses) and then smack them for a good chunk of damage. This is super risky and can kill the player quite easily. I have an idea: What if we gave those true melee weapons the ability to block? Each of these weapons would have varied block timings, and have their own parry effects of course(For example, reflect projectiles on parry or health gain on parry), and maybe there could also be a cooldown for the specific parry as well. And, just like the vanilla sword that allows blocking, can also give the player extra defense when the shield is simply held up.

And, as a final note, perhaps the parry itself would require some rage in order to be used, or rage could be used to amplify the effects. I personally find it hard to get full rage without the dark heart; giving rage a mechanic that doesn't require the full bar would, I feel, put it on par with how strong Adrenaline is.
Final final note: This would suck to impliment in a single update- maybe it could be done in batches?

Make Spell AI enemies ignore the Tesla Potion's electric aura (resuggestion)

Reason: This potion can be used to trivialize the Eater of Worlds' fight. The electric aura lets you completely ignore vile spit, which leaves this boss to not be threatening at all from the beginning. It lets you put all of your focus on the worms and some occasional cursed flames, making this boss only somewhat difficult near the end. While the Inferno Potion can do the same thing, that's obtained much later than this potion. The potion is already good enough for how early you obtain it, and I think it shouldn't be able to completely shield these projectiles, and leave Eater of Worlds to be barely a threat even in Death Mode.

add an option to disable viewing your teammate's weapons / pets / minions / projectiles

Example: Player A has a throwing weapon that explodes into many smaller fragments, resulting in your entire screen being covered by 500 of that throwing weapon, this option would allow Player B, You, to not see any of those projectiles / weapons

Why: This not only will make fighting together with friends less annoying as you can actually see things other than your friends never ending duplication of projectiles and weapons, but it can also reduce FPS lag on people with worse computers

Possible variations: Translucent projectiles

The weapon is called the Charged Dart Blaster yet doesn't charge up anything, and is called the Charged Dart Blaster despite both of its projectiles being more akin to bootleg Shredder shots. Its function doesn't really fit its name at all, and the variety of darts that do exist could use a bit more use aside from Cursed Darts on Destroyer.

Make there an absurdly low (once every like ten to thirty hours) chance for DoG to randomly spawn (not while a boss is alive or in hardcore/mediumcore/iron heart mode. Or with a zen or calming buff and when there is an NPC around) at any point in the game before DoG has been defeated. Mabey have universal collapse play add a meme drop for actually defeating a randomly spawned DoG.

You can have a laugh about it the few times it happens and it would make the game a bit more involved. Plus, this lines up with DoGs lore that he teleports through dimensions to eat his prey while they are unaware. Also, there are other times the game just decides to kill you a lot more commenly than this, with things like boulders, lightning, or explosives so this isn't anything new to Terrarria. This would make finally beating DoG after those few times he yeeted you earlier in the game much more satisfying.

Add item that suppresses inertia
Precise movement is essential for good dodges. Unfortunately, Terraria's physics tends to be very unfriendly to high speeds and velocities. It's common to glide into wall, not being able to dash to another side of arena. Changing direction in general is painful due to inertia and low movement velocity gain.

Being able to control your movements will need to be priced. That item can decrease max movement speed a lot (you accelerate fast and stop instantly CalWheeze )

Increase the Buff Limit from 22. Why?

Buffs are almost required to beat most Post-ML Bosses, but you can only have up to 22, which seems like a lot, but it really isn't. You have to take in account arena buffs (campfires, Candles, Honey, Stars in a bottle, etc.) and buffs that certain armor sets give (God Slayer Restoration, Silva Invulerability, etc.), and that can be around 5-10 buff on their own. There are a lot of essential potions too (Cadence, Rage/Wrath, Draconic, etc.). There are so many essential buffs, yet so little buff slots.

The cap should be raised at some point in progression, like Post-WoF or Post-ML. It doesn't matter how much higher you make it, just make it higher to some degree.

Death Mode could prevent players from respawning while a Boss is alive
On Multiplayer bosses end up being so much weaker compared to Singleplayer and that's mostly due to the current respawn system.
"Come on buddy, just hold for 5 more seconds and I'll spawn." This coupled with Wormhole potions or a single bed in the arena makes bosses a lot easier to beat.

At the moment there's not any difficulty scaling based on amount of players (that i know of), so i see this respawn prevention as something that would make Multiplayer more balanced, challenging and more similar to Singleplayer.

Why only on Death Mode though? I believe the majority of people is very familiar with and loves the original system and they wouldn't want that ripped away from them. (Another solution would be to make it a toggleable option if possible)

As game progresses, summon weapons use time should be reduced. -Reworked suggestion from a week ago mentioning only a use time change to the Ethereal Subjugator.

Currently, Summoner in the endgame is in a great place: You got amazing summoner weapons that take multiple, large amount of slots, which makes going back to the gameplay loop easier, or the Staff of Mechworm really small use time.

Why suggest this? It isn't so much the case on the timeframe of later normal to later post-Moon Lord progression. Summoner weapons each have a delay that only gets more and more obnoxious as progression advances, the highest point being the Ethereal Subjugator staff, which by then the player tends to have at least more than 12 slots... and that specific summoner weapon allows each mini-Polterghast to take only half a slot. Which means you have to cast at least 24 times to refill your small phantoplasmic army of death.

How do I suggest doing this? After some feedback discussion back then, two ways of tackling this issue were reached:
A - The modification of every Calamity summon weapon to reduce use time delays as progression advances. With Ethereal Subjugator reaching if possible Staff of Mechworm speeds, for example and Herring Staff halving its use time.
B - The addition of a "X Use Time reduced for summon weapons" property on summoner helms, X getting higher as progression advances.
B2 - The same addition of point B, but to the Statis series of accessories. I don't like this one personally due to it getting mixed with the Rogue belt later on, yet if it gets deleted once that step comes to pass, perhaps it could even be mixed with point B.

In death mode make cnidrion able to shoot its projectile through blocks
Why: he can be trivial to fight just by putting blocks in front of where he shoots and would make sense in death mode so fighting it is more skill based and not just based on cheeses like this.

yet another melee speed post
Change melee speed hardcap to a softcap, if not for all melee then for true melee
Reason__s__: Initial reason was to prevent it from breaking yoyos, most melee projectiles already have a cap to how many projectiles they can shoot regardless of speed, and overall a blanket nerf to a stat isnt the best way to fix an issue with a few specific weapons
Also, true melee in vanilla has always been a risk reward. You have to get in close to be able to hit, but risk taking damage. The melee speed nerf discourages this playstyle.
And lastly, based on use times and whatnot the currently, any weapon with a use time of 4 can be shortened to 1 frame due to rounding and auto swing. If there were no cap whatsoever, a maximum of 274% melee speed would be possible, and that would be using all vanilla armor (since theres only 3 calamity armors that give melee speed, 2 being negligible and the other being endgame) all accessories being feral claws and its variants and all violent and also running all melee speed buffs. This isnt at all viable really but this would be the max melee speed possible. A softcap would allow some common ground where true melee isnt completely shafted and relying on "haha big numbers" but also doesnt allow for every thing to be one shot.

PS: The "stellar striker destroys worm" gif is outdated as hell, its using death mode's 800% damage boosting adrenaline and maybe even the old death modes rage as well, neither of which are anywhere near as effective

Add an upgrade to the blast barrel
This weapon has many unique qualities that are super awesome.
It rolls on the ground and explodes on walls.
You can shoot it at a different angle to make it roll faster or slower.
It's kind of a puzzle to figure out how you're going to get a boss on a wall for the actual explosions to hit.
I used it for all 3 mech bosses in revengeance and I feel unfortunately this is basically the item's limit.
I think this style of weapon (rolling exploding-on-walls barrel) is a great candidate for constant new tier upgrades (like at plantera, ML, DoG like so many other types of weapon)

Make catastrophe drop the Brimstone Flameblaster, not Cataclsym
Currently, Cataclysm drops both of the flamethrowers from the calamitas fight. The Brimstone Flameblaster fires bouncing fireballs, which is similar to catastrophe's attack, so Catastrophe should drop the flameblaster that way both brothers have 1 flamethrower drop and their flamethrowers are similar to the attack of the brother that dropped it.

Boss Drop Suggestion: Make Cataclysm drop Crushsaw Crasher instead of Catastrophe. From the color scheme itself, Crushsaw Crasher looks more 'fleshy', making it resemble more to Cataclysm than Catastrophe and since it currently drops from Catastrophe, I feel like it would be strange if a 'metallic' looking boss would drop something 'fleshy' if you know what I mean. (Should have suggested it long ago).

#

How about making a new drop for Catastrophe. It's kinda inconsistent if he has only one drop when his brother has two.

Make Hive Blobs and Dark Hearts targetable by summons

Make shrines more common per world type for example
2 sets for a medium world, 3 sets in a large world, and 4/5 in an XL world (if compatibility is needed)
Alternatively, an item could be added that points you into the direction of the shrines
Why: finding shrine items currently is like finding a needle in a haystack, especially on large worlds and even with programmes like T-edit. Allowing for multiple sets of shrines to generate in a world would not only make them easier to find but allow for multiple people to have shrine items without making another world. For the shrine finder item it would allow for players to get shrine items when they would be most important and not later game when they aren't nearly as useful

Make Aether's whisper have a ranger version and mage version like how some weapons have a melee and rogue version. Aether's whisper having shiftable damage types really has no usage since it's not like enemies have resistance to certain damage types, so only one would really be used due to class set ups and accessories. This also has the problem of breaking reforges for the ranger version as it turns back to magic damage when reforged.

Make Providence's Cocoon Flames (the ones that subtract 100/150/200 health on contact) Reset Adrenaline

Not sure if this is a bug, but being hit by the cocoon flames (understandibly) doesn't reset the player's adrenaline bar, even though the player is technically being hit by one of the boss' attacks. I'd guess this is because of the fact that they don't actually do damage, and instead heal the player in the negative.

Make all projectiles/minislimes that are spawned during the Slime God/Astrum Deus fight despawn when the boss does
As it is right now, fighting Slime God, especially on rev+ where dying to Slime God is not uncommon, refighting the boss is tedious as you must kill all the minislimes that remained and wait for the landmines to despawn, or deal with them in the next fight. I don't see a reason why this should be the way it is, and just adds unnecessary tedium to a boss that many already find frustrating. This extends, possibly to a lesser extent, to Astrum Deus, as his landmines remain after despawning as well.

Add the Black Belt to the Abyssal Mirror Recipe
Why? The mirror grants a dodge chance that is pretty much identical to the black belt, and it's not that hard to get. Seeing as the recipe doesn't currently have a dodge accessory yet it grants a dodge, this could be implemented to fill that void. The black belt drop chance could also be doubled if the belt becomes too hard to obtain for both the ninja gear and the mirror.

Give the Infernados created by dragon scales a noticeable tint to differentiate them Yharon's infernados. By the point where the dragon scales are available, there's really only three uses for them, clearing out solar eclipse enemies when trying to fight Mothron, Yharon phase 2 and, Scal. However, due to the infernados, which is one of the big reasons to use the dragon scales, there can be a lot of confusion between which are the players and which are Yharon's at times, which in a fight where a single hit can do so much damage, makes the accessory more of a detriment than a buff.

Don’t do the “if one person does, the boss despawns” thing
I feel like this wouldn’t really make multiplayer more balanced, as say, one third of your team dies as compared to your whole team dying. Instead, I propose a different solution to the problem of the whole “I just need to hold out until my teammate respawns” thing:
Instead, make it so that if the total number of deaths becomes equal to the total number of players, then, and only then, will the boss depawn

Change some existing debuffs to be more unique than DoTs

Reason: A lot of the debuffs are just "take damage". This gets incredibly repetitive(hence all the memes about calamity having flame debuffs), however there are many other debuff types. For example, debuffs that increase enemy aggro, lower the player's attack speed, or reduce the effectiveness of healing(these are just examples btw) would be nice instead of having lots of DoT's that are more or less the same.

Add an upgrade to the glove of precision and glove of recklessness. These two accessories have a really cool concept, focusing on a single play style for the rogue, with the glove of precision being focused on stealth strikes with the higher power but slower throwing speed, and the glove of recklessness being focused on throwing as many projectiles at the enemy as possible. They have an interesting concept, but they eventually get outclassed by other accessories.

** Buff the Vortex Beater **

Currently, this weapon is not very good right now, it has about 2.5k-4k average dps on revengeance mode Astrum Deus ( the fight lasted 2 minutes and 11 seconds) and 1.4k-1.6k average dps on revengeance mode Moon Lord ( the fight lasted 2 minutes and 26 seconds).

The dps gears that I’ve used for the Astrum Deus fight was:
-Unreal Vortex Beater
-Hyperius bullets
-Ataxia armor (ranger)
-Aquatic Scourge lore item
-Pho
-Wrath potion
-Rage potion
-Lucky Heart of the Elements
-Lucky Sniper Scope
-Lucky Angel Treads
-Lucky Asgard’s Valor
-Lucky Discordian Wings
-Lucky Destroyer Emblem
-Ranger proficiency level 5

As for the Moon Lord fight, it was the same setup except for the bullets, I’ve used chlorophyte bullet instead of hyperius bullet so I could focus more on dodging his attacks.
As I’ve said previously I think this weapon should definitely get a buff because currently it’s not even worth crafting, I rather save up the vortex frags for the Vortex armor/Celestial Sigil/Galactica Singularities. There’s currently 3 options to buff this weapon so that it could be more viable against Astrum Deus and Moon Lord, the first one could be to buff its base damage from 50 to around 55-60 base damage, the second one could be a mechanic buff, per example reducing the spreads of the bullets will make it so that more bullets can hit Astrum Deus/ Moon Lord giving it more dps in the long run and lastly, making it so that the vortex projectiles from the Vortex Beater fires faster the longer the weapon is being fired could also increase its dps because currently there is an animation of the Vortex Beater speeding up the longer the weapon is being fired but it actually does nothing for now.

Make dryad sell teratomas post perfs and bloody worm foods post hive mind
Reason: Currently, the only way to fight hive mind in crimson worlds or perfs in corrupyion worlds is by making an artificial biome using the blocks from the evil islands, however, there are some disadvantages to this:

It takes a long period of time - i know that its still possible, dont get me wrong, but letting the dryad sell teratomas and bloody worm foods would be much more convenient and the player can fight them on the islands.
The proccess itself - the collection of the blocks, with all enemies attacking (yea yea calming pots) and later placing all of them on the ground to create the biome is very... how do i say this, boring, tiresome? Im not saying its that bad, but again, it would be better to just have the dryad to sell the items.

For those of you who doesn't know what a bloody clot staff is, it is a summon droped form preformator hive. Currently it does 7 damage and attacks like the slime staff, now this is really just not that good honestly this is weaker than seabound staff which is droped form desert scorge! So maybe buff the damage out put or make it like spider staff where it uses less slots (like 0.75 slot or 0.5) or just make it inflect ichor
So someone else did a kill time check on skeletron and seabound staff takes 3 min while blood clot staff took 4 minutes and 45 sec

Nerf or rework draconic elixirs effect that sets you to full health when godslayer or Silva is triggered. Some examples, make it last like one minute, set you to half health insted of full, or give it a drawback of some kind.

Usually, when you take lethal damage when fighting scal you are on the brink of death. In the past, god Slayer and Silva were like a last stand before death, and it kept the fight intense. Usually you can survive for the 45 seconds for it to trigger again, and if you can't, you still get Silva and healing potions. This potion is what makes Scal quite easy when you know what to do during different phases and makes getting low on health irrelevant.
Usually, having or not having a particular item doesn't increase or decrease your strength by a significant amount. That is not the case with this potion, if you have it, your survivability more than doubles without having to sacrifice anything. It is one of the most busted items in the game. Not to mention the other buffs you get with it and no downside.
Why would you ever use demonshade armor when you have this potion and auric armor.

A simple suggestion : Calamity adds alternate methods for obtaining most items in the Cell Phone crafting tree, usually craft recipes for anything you can't get from the Traveling Merchant. The only one that's still only a drop is the Tally Counter, which drops from pre-Plantera dungeon enemies; it's not too much of a problem unless you try to obtain it post-Plantera when the new enemies take up the mob cap of the dungeon. Why not add a recipe for the Tally Counter using post-Plantera materials or let post-Plantera dungeon enemies drop them? Any other method would work too.

Forbidden armor's set bonus should shrink to fit the space.
If you've used forbidden armor before you know it's set bonus is to cast a tornado at the cursor like the sand elemental. However, it's often neglected completely, and part of the reason for me atleast but probably many others, is that it needs a large amount of space to actually be usable, meaning it doesn't work underground at all, despite that being where you spend most of your time in early hardmode. It would help greatly if, it worked how the sand elemental in a bottle's tornadoes did, where they shrunk to fit the space they were in. This would allow it to be used in all spaces, and give it more reason to be used ever.

Make all tools capable of dealing damage deal classless damage.

The fact that all of these items deal melee damage seems to just go to show how much bigger said class is compared to this others. While they do function as melee weapons, you will use tools regardless of which class you play as. It would also not make you feel like you’ve broken a run of a specific class by using a melee weapon thats actually a tool.

Nerf death mode skeletron primes health.

I clocked it at 8min and 58 sec (night lasts 9min) with the following gear and five adrenaline: Daedelus stormbow and holy arrows for phase one, megashark and clorophyte bullets for phase two, Daedelus armor, menacing amalgated brain, ambrosial ampoule, worm scarf, ranger emblem, angel treds, moab in phase one and starling wings in phase two. I also was using endurance, life force, archery, swiftness, regen, ironskin, pho, and aquatic scourge lore (had to buff up multiple times).

This is way to long, you shouldn't need five adrenaline to just barely kill him in time. I think the amount of damage you take is fair, but for such a dodgy boss this is simply to much health.

Add Rogue Weapons/Accessories to Seasonal Events so that doing the events pre-DoG isn’t a waste of time for Rogue Recently I thought that in the new big update added to Calamity that they’d add some new weapons or something that rogues can use in the Frost Moon/Pumpkin Moon and I was greatly disappointed to find out there wasn’t such a thing... It’s honestly a shame too, because doing the seasonal events is a lot of fun if you know that there’s drops in there that are worth the struggle of fighting waves of Minibosses. Each class has a weapon in each invasion, sometimes more than one! (Melee: Christmas Ornament Sword, North Pole, Horseman’s Blade) (Ranger: Snowman Cannon, Pumpkin Launcher, Stake Launcher, Elf Melter, Chaingun, Candy Corn Rifle. ) (Mage: Bat Scepter, Razorpine, Blizzard Staff) (Summoner: Raven Staff, Necromatic Scroll, Spooky Wood) For rogue, I think that there should at least be one item per event that rogue players can acquire after defeating Plantera and fighting the events for the first time.

Remove the flying carpet effect from the Auric Tesla Armor Leggings, recently tried out the armor and the rest of the armor is quite nice but the effect of the flying carpet causes a big problem. After say 2-4 seconds of flying (i was using celestial tracers) your forced to use the flying carpet and even disembarking and reflying forces you on the flying carpet, in my opinion rather than using the carpet in endgame it is much more efficent to glide through bullets. Cool effect but imo should not be implemented in a endgame armor.

I’ve noticed that every segment of a dune splicer counts towards the maximum mobcount, meaning that during a sandstorm you’re only fighting 2 dune splicers most of the time. This makes farming other sandstorm mobs (like sand elementals) very annoying.
Suggestion: change dune splicers so that only the heads count towards the max mobcount, and cap the maximum amount of dune splicers to 2. If this causes problems with the splicers splitting up, perhaps have every split segment remember the original splicer that it came from.

Also, it would make sense for it to be integrated in what is intended to be "the ultimate Melee accessory".

while in reality the damage the attacker takes is 25% of the damage you would have taken and also doesnt state if that dmg is calculated before or after the players armour dmg reduction or the attackers armour.

reason: lacking information and want clearer info, also not even wiki states if the return dmg is calculated before or after the wearers armour reduction (clearifying what i mean: if x unit deals 100 dmg, and i have 100 armour, does he take 25 dmg or 25% of the damage i take after my armour reduction?)

Add a new Boss Rush Curse config option that randomizes the order of which bosses show up first in Boss Rush.
Right now, all bosses show up in a certain order in Boss Rush every single time, and never changes. This can result in this event becoming very boring and repetitive once you've done it enough times. The current curses can keep it interesting... but you still know what's going to happen. This config would make every Boss Rush attempt somewhat different, giving a total of up to 2.04x10⁴⁶ different combinations! However, because Supreme Calamitas and Yharon force an arena on you, those two bosses would be the only bosses that should be seen coming, which can be indicated in someway (ie: the player emitting red dust when SCal is next, and orange dust when Yharon is next). This config would probably be the most interesting config to use, and would keep Boss Rush fun for experienced players.

Remove Onyx Excavator's incapabillity to mine vanilla Hardmode ores (Cobalt, Titanium etc.) before killing a mechanical boss
Why? Quite simple. It's not a sequence break.

OX has blacklist of tiles that cannot be mined unless specific condition is met (most commonly, certain boss defeated). This concept plays really cool and all, but within all those blacklists, this one is both silly and pointless. Because this is not really a sequence break.
I get it, you shouldn't be able to mine Adamantite ore immediately upon entering Hardmode, but what stops you from fishing a few crates even before Hardmode and opening them after defeating Wall of Flesh? Same results, really, as you need Hardmode anvil anyways to do anything with those. As such, this condition is really just artifically made.

Make the venerated locket shoot more than 1 projectile from the illustrious knives
If you didn't know, the venerated locket summons a copy of your weapon from the sky. On the illustrious knives and empyrean knives, only 1 knife is summoned rather than the bunch that the weapon shoots. It should be made that the venerated locket summons as many projectiles as the weapon being used does.

Give the Devourer of Gods animated sprites

Personally, I feel it's kinda odd that each segment of the devourer is completely static. I feel there should be some animations given to it. An example could be that, when it decides to charge you, its jaw opens up, and when the head hits you, the jaw closes briefly. The segments could also be animated to better show the swirling energies within its body.

This could also go for other worm bosses

New hair styles-
On the character creation menu or the stylist menu, I've never found a mod which adds new hair for your character. If you all added new hair styles in terraria, it would be a unique thing which calamity has. The male hair styles in vanilla terraria are very dry and boring, compared to the female hair styles, to change this you could add hair styles from other games or anime (Example, Cloud from final fantasy or Alucard from castlevania). That is just a little idea of what hair styles to add for both genders.

It seems that Supreme Calamitas' death is a bit too simple, I feel like the simple parts falling off on her death isn't enough for a character as powerful as her.
So here's what I suggest :

What would be great is that there is going to be a special sound, like a massive, menacing last growl on her death, so it will add way more hype and all for a massive battle !
As for the animation, maybe a full-screen effect of her brimstone energy exploding out of her as she dies !

Thanks for reading, and I hope to get some of your feedback !

Getting the frost barrier is way too rng dependant. You have two options
wait for the travelling merchant.
He's not garunteed to arrive and often won't even be selling it
or B: hunt ice claspers
god damned claspers. I sat in the snow biome with a zerg, a battle potion and a water candle placed next to me and not a single one spawned, not even one. And even if one did spawn, they aren't even garunteed to drop one. It nakes crafting auric tesla armor harder than it ever needs to be.

Make it drop from cryogen
It's literally the perfect thing for it to drop from. Cryogen not only has an ice barrier on him but he literally IS an ice barrier!
It doesn't need to be a garunteed drop, but it would make it less of a terrible and annoying chore to obtain

Change Rogue accessories with dedicated keybindings (momentum capacitor, sand cloak, spectral veil, plagued fuel pack) into tools similar to the Rod Of Discord
Why?
These items are actually really neat ways to utilize stealth, but they will always be limited by the fact that they take up accessory slots and require their own keybindings to even function. This problem could be fixed by making them more like "rogue tools", granting an effect when at a certain stealth level when used. This wouldn't change their balance too much, but would help make the items even more usable than they are currently.

Have a separate track that is played for the entire duration of boss rush instead of playing the track of the boss that is alive at any point

Currently, whenever a boss is alive in br, its track wil be played and while waiting for the next boss to spawn, no music is being played at all. I feel the problem with this is that except for maybe provi and tier 5 bosses, almost every boss can be easily killed in under 20s. This results in segmenting of tracks and we dont get to enjoy a decent portion of any of the ealier bosses's tracks.

Make new themes for each tier of the Boss Rush, rather than using the original boss themes
Reasoning: Some of the boss themes just dont quite mesh with the other ones, having the simple, yet enjoyable themes of vanilla bosses right before or after fast paced, intricate themes of calamity bosses, Not to mention that the contrast in intensity of themes is wildly different from others, for example, the jump from Eater of Worlds, with the simple Boss 1 theme that we're all familiar with, to the fast paced and intense theme of Astrum Aureus is way too jarring. If each tier of the boss rush had its own theme, the transition between themes would be perfect, scaling in intensity until the climax of tier 5. Perhaps, Also, the themes for each of the tiers could contain leitmotifs of the themes of bosses who are in their respective tiers. (Edit 1, i did not notice @/Thunstic#0071's suggestion until just now, but using one theme for the entire boss rush would get a bit repetitive. Having a theme for each tier will make the overall experience feel as if it's leading up to tier 5.)
(Edit 2, Dokuro does not have to compose the themes, we all know that's way too much to drop on him at once)

I feel like bloodflare weapons do way too little lifesteal. I thought they would be life steal based weapons and that would be the gimmick of it, but most of the lifesteal they give is so insignificant that I barely even know it does it even though that’s one of the selling points in the item description. I suggest nerfing the damage and buffing the lifesteal to make bloodflare feel more unique.

Revert the replacement of Shattered Sun and Phantasmal Ruin with Alpha Virus and Enchanted Axe in the Celestus recipe
So like... why is this a thing in the first place? This change makes no sense. It actually removes some progression from the item. If the new items were both boomerangs (which Alpha Virus isn't btw), then that'd make some sense - you're trying to make it so the Celestus is crafted with only boomerangs since it itself is a boomerang. But that's not even the case with this change. So I ask again - why did this get implemented?

Supreme Calamitas Suggestion: Try to make the Brimstone Monster fade away instead of making it instantly despawn when disappearing.

I just feel that the Brimstone Monsters fading away would be a dramatic touch to the ending of the battle. Don’t get me wrong, I was happy about the Brimstone Monsters disappearing when Supreme Calamitas reached 1% health after a year of waiting but the Monsters instantly disappearing would be less climatic imo.

Nerf the Meteor Rain that Yharon fires when he spins in P2 in some way.
Yharon is excellent at being a "tough-but-fair" boss, where all of his attacks are brutal yet predictable...Except for this one. These meteors usually cover at least half of the arena, and if he spins in the middle, they can easily cover the entire arena. There's no way to tell where they are, either, since they move so quickly. Combine this with the speed required to avoid Yharon's other attacks, and these fireballs are essentially just luck. For comparison, they're faster than SCal's BH projectiles, and that's a fight where you're supposed to move slowly.

There are several ways this could be fixed, such as keeping them in a smaller area around where Yharon spins or giving some kind of warning about where exactly they are. I'd rather leave the exact solution to the devs, though.

For clarity, I'm not talking about the attack where Yharon moves horizontally and drops the fireballs in a line. That attack is at least predictable, since you can just stay away from the area where he used it. The spin fireballs go much further away, and that strategy doesn't apply to them.

Give the Fin Wings an alternative way to be obtained, similar to other quest items.

Reason: The only way to obtain Fin Wings currently is through a 1.4% chance after each fishing quest you do after you've already done 10 fishing quests in Hardmode. While the chances for Fin Wings double after 50 fishing quests have been done, that's still a very low chance and I shouldn't have to do more than 50 quests for this anyway. You probably won't even do the 10 angler quests because that is already way too long compared to how long it takes to get the other wings at that tier. And knowing that you have to wait a full in-game day for another quest, and cosmolight doesn't reset the quest timer, you'll probably obtain some legendary drops faster than you would obtain this.

Most of the Angler's useful items have alternative ways to be obtained and I believe Fin Wings could use an alternative too. The only other items you can only get from fishing quests are the Fish Hook, which isn't even as good as the Ivy Whip, the Fuzzy Carrot which gives you a mount that isn't really helpful at all for anything, and decorative/vanity items. All of those don't necessarily need an alternative way to be obtained because they are pretty forgettable anyway, and Fuzzy Carrot is a guarantee after your 5th quest. Everything else you can get from the Angler is obtainable outside of fishing quests and it's probably because the quests take way too long to do and those items need some easier way to be obtained.

The point I'm trying to make here is that currently Fin Wings are just the worst to obtain which only encourages you to get a different pair of wings because otherwise you're gonna be doing angler quests for the next few hours at least. This shouldn't be so hard to obtain and knowing that no other pair of wings take this long to get, I can't see any reason for why its requirement should stay as it is.

Considering the defensive accessory modifiers increase defense more once youre in hardmode and post ML, maybe make it so that the ironskin effect gets stronger in hardmode and post ML as well. Ironskin becomes a bit useless once you get really defensive armor, so giving it a small buff similar to the modifiers could give it a bit more use lategame. Adding upgrades to the potion could work alternatively, like combining an Ironskin potion with mythril/orichalcum ore and then that new potion with luminite ore, for example.

Maybe Yharon could rarely drop a vanity helmet that looks like Yharim's special Auric Tesla helmet, because it's practically iconic to fans of Calamity, unless his helmet will be obtainable in the future. The helmet looks really cool and it'd make sense for Yharim's companion to be the one to drop it. It'd also make sense because defeating Yharon allows access to actual Auric Tesla armor.

A Crabulon sentry. This would help in two areas; Crab has comparatively fewer weapons relative to many other bosses, and there aren’t any sentries in pre-HM at all. Plus, Crab is probably the least mobile boss in the mod if not the entire game so it makes sense to have an immobile sentry based around it.

Add an Old Ones Army expansion (not just items, but other unique things as well like enimies or waves (later in the game)).

Currently, there is almost no reason it do it in Vannila, and Calamity only makes this worse by providing better options to already bad but unique and interesting items. Calamity expands on almost every aspect of the game and even things like that granite biome, yet OOA remains entirely ignored. It's a shame to since OOA is very unique in Terrarria and can be done multiple times in a playthrough while gaining new challenges along the way. However as it stands right now, there is almost nothing that can be gained from it and thus no reason to do it.

Make it so the RoD/NR Chaos State nerf only applies during bossfights (both the inability to use them and the extended duration)

I understand why that nerf exists, however, bosses aren't their only use. They play a big role in exploration and overall mobility, so not only having chaos state increased to 10 seconds but also being straight up unable to teleport while the now longer Chaos State is present makes this way more of a chore, specially around areas you just don't want to pickaxe through.

Add some visual and aesthetic additions for situations when Mech Bosses are naturally spawning

Why? Because to add the encounters more intensity and making their arrival more exciting. So, what should be used for these additions?

For Destroyer, maybe the ground would start shaking like an earthquake would occur. As the time passes and becomes closer for Destroyer to spawn, the quakes would occur more often.
For Prime, maybe it would start snowing for no reason or cold winds would start blowing. The winds would be more intense as time passes.
For Twins, maybe you can add quotes to some NPCs that something doesn't feel right and they either ask you that if something is approaching or some NPCs can be pissed off and shout at you like Female NPCs do during Blood Moons.

Of course, these effects disappear when Mech bosses spawn and after they are defeated.

Make the DPS meter count DoTs.
❔ : Some calamity weapons, such as the lionfish and the shellfish staff, use DoTs as their main damage source and therefore can't really be tested accurately using the DPS meter. I think this addition would generally be nice to have and would help in testing stuff. It wouldn't only help for testing the listed weapons, but also help in testing any other weapon that uses DoT debuffs.

Make the Plague debuff able to be spread by whatever has it. (i.e. A bat inflicted with the Plague debuff that touches an un-debuffed slime would transmit the debuff to the slime.)

It would give the plague weapons more utility as crowd control weapons. (which would be useful for post-Golem events such as the Martian invasion or the Celestial pillars) Worm/Segmented bosses are immune to this

Make drew’s wings give the player dmg/crit boosts while wearing auric tesla armor

Almost immediately after one gets necessary materials and drew’s wings, they will craft it into celestial tracers. In scal fight, celestial tracers is usually better than drew’s wings because of preserved movement speed on the ground, extra iframes etc, and the little bit of reduced flight time is insignificant since you don’t need that much flight time for scal anyways. Drew’s wings therefore is inferior to celestial tracers and is hardly used at all.

Making the player get dmg/crit boosts when wearing auric tesla armor and with drew’s wings on compensates for the reduction of maximum move speed back to normal when touching the ground and the extra i frames. Drew’s wings will therefore be able to compete better with celestial tracers for its usage against scal since it’s the player’s choice of whether they want increased dmg/crit or preserved ground move speed/extra iframes.

Make enraged Golem more threatening.
As he stands right now, it’s much easier to fight Golem outside the temple than inside the temple, even if he enrages outside it. At the surface, the fireballs have nothing to bounce on, and everything else can be dodged by running in one direction, even the head. Because of this, there’s no reason to make an arena in the temple since you can just actuate the blocks beneath the altar and fight it on the surface with an already-existing arena. Here are some ideas of how to make enraged Golem actually more threatening:

Lasers shot from body/attached head now have spread again. Because of the extra space from being in surface, lasers having spread is justified.
The detached head should remain invincible. As soon as the head dies, the Golem is a sitting duck, but only when enraged. His lone body poses more of a threat in the temple than when enraged, which doesn’t make sense, as the enraged version is supposed to be harder than the temple version.
Significantly higher jump speed that scales with player height (like King Slime). The player is very likely to stand on a platform above Golem and just keep running. Higher jump speed would be more threatening towards this strategy.

Update the Textures of the Brimstone Monsters
The fact that most people think these are moons until they get killed by them is kind of a tip-off. I don't know whether the fact that they're projectiles is limiting (and in that case, you can probably just make them an invulnerable entity), but they are out of place in the SCal fight for this reason. As it stands, most of them is just pure red circle. I think this could be easily resolved by adding some shading and extra detail, to the otherwise empty part of the texture.

Reason: Right now the healing phase feels a bit... boring? anticlimatic? what's the word? anyways, changing up yharon's healing would add more depth and immersion to the fight. There are a few ways to do it but one idea i can suggest is have yharon stay in one place, healing up (perhaps add a beam of light towards the sky, for spicynees :P) and some sort of bullet hell for the fight to continue without the player just waiting. The bullet hell doesn't have to look like other ones (DoG laser wall, SCal bullet hell, etc.) But then, it's only an example of what can happen during yharon's healing, the opportunities are endless.

Reduce the time between waves during a phase that has already been cleared during Old Ones Army.

Farming OOA takes forever, and often if you want to get everything you need, you will need to complete the same phase multiple times. The problem is that OOA was designed to be hard to farm, yet has to be done a lot to be worthwhile. However, if you reduce the time between waves during cleared phases it would make OOA farmable, resulting in some more people actually bothering to do it. This way, people will have the opportunity to check out some of the unique items that OOA provides.

Make it so Trashers can be targeted by minions without first hitting them with a non summon weapon.

Getting items or just being in and around the Sulfuric Sea becomes far more difficult for summoners when you can’t attack a common enemy like the Trasher, which can deal significant amounts of damage until post-Moon Lord, and if you’re afk or just not paying attention because you have 15+ summons to defend yourself, you can be killed by them easily due to them being invisible to summons until damaged. Currently the only way to hit them with summoner, is to first hit Trashers with a non summoner weapon that can actually damage it before your minions have the ability to target and hit them, which is annoying if you want to be pure summoner, or don’t want to switch to a different weapon every time one spawns.

Expansion of Pre-Hardmode Mounts

In pre-hardmode, player mobility is incredibly limited, and that tends to cause problems in boss fights and even just exploration. Mounts are an extremely helpful tool for players, but most good mounts are not accessible until late phm/hm, or are so rare its almost not worth it to try to get them. Expanding on the current roster of mounts would allow players that extra mobility that is lacking during that rough time.

Nerf barinaudical

Rangers have access to the Daedelus Stormbow, and that makes Aquatic Scourge kinda easy so you can get the barinaudical for basically free. This isn't that big of an issue, but this weapon has a much higher dps that all ranger weapons obtainable after Calamitas (not Plantera), and has the hightest DPS of all these weapons (not including halibut canon). This weapon is by far the best ranger weapon at everything until plant, so rangers have almost no options at this point because of a weapon you get for free. It makes the gameplay much more boring in all aspects of the game for rangers, and this point in proggression lasts a exceptionally long time.

I did a DPS check on all ranger weps with the same gear, and a third of the weps were at 600 DPS, half at 850 DPS, and the rest at 1000 DPS. Barinadical has 1250 DPS, the exceptions to this are Daedelus Stormbow (only better for destroyer) and halibut canon.

Remove or change Skeletron Prime's drone spawning move
Skeletron Prime is tanky, too tank, the number of times this is mentioned attests to this. However i dont believe that DR is the issue but rather the move where Skeletron Prime flies in large circles spawning drones. This move renders him practically invincible and is done far too frequently leaving you with phases where you kill the drones and he does this move again immediately after. Its impossible to get any good damage in because of this move causing the fight to drag through the entire night. It has become commonplace to fight skeletron prime post plantera or calamitas simply because of this huge DPS wall.

Remove the most (meaby all) of the negative effects from lore items, it just feels bad to have a conditionall boost for example the crabulon lore item, i really want to be able to dodge worms early on but that makes it harder but i also want to be able to regen from said worm attack but i have to choose between movement or regen or

the eye of chtulu which makes less sence in my opinion, i mean i have eyes and my vision isnt reduced at day, however if we were slightly blinded for like 30 seconds every morning would be fine but not ALL day

Clearification: currently lore items feel massivly less rewarding due to their negative side effect and the genuenly feel even worse to have because they also take inventory space, think the lack of inventory is a hard enough choice already

Make cryogen drop less essence of eleum, BUT make his summons have a chance to drop it.
Cryogen is not that hard of a boss, but some people may still have problems with him, and farming his summon is pretty boring and sometimes hard, because when you just get into hardmode, you don't really have a lot of damage and armor, so searching and killing mobs that drop this essence(especially turtles) is a loong and boring process...
But if his summons will drop it, you won't have to farm so much for your next cryo key, and all in all it won't be much different for people who farm cryogen for essence or whatever.

Make the Molten Amputator be a crafting ingredient for the Nanoblack Reaper
Currently, almost all if not all of the providence do not have something to be used as an ingredient for while most of the other endgame weapons craft into a weapon of the Auric or Shadowspec tier. I think that the Molten Amputator would be a good ingredient for the Nanoblack Reaper. It's how weapons like the Ghoulish Gouger and the Ruinous Souls and all of the DoG weapons have a purpose which is crafting the Apotheosis as well as the Yharon weapons being used to craft the Drataliornus. Also, the weapons from Providence become near-useless when the next set of bosses, being the sentinels and Polterghast, give weapons that are far stronger than any of the Providence weapons. The Molten Amputator would also be a good crafting ingredient for the Nanoblack Reaper to balance it out and make it harder to craft.

Buff Revengence mode calamitas or nerf the mechanical bosses

The mechanical bosses were way too difficult to the point where I just ended up skipping them. Fought the brimstone and killed calamitas with very few attempts. There is almost no difference between normal mode calamitas and revengence which is why I would like it to be buffed. New attacks which are more difficult to dodge would make the fight more challenging, as well as possibly homing ones.

I’m reposting a very, very old suggestion of mine: tiered trophies!

Calamity adds several, much harder difficulties. A trophy is good, but sometimes you wanna brag about your lastest DAD DoG kill, and an old vanilla trophy doesn’t quite cut it. That’s why I suggest trophy tiers!
A few rules about those special trophies:

To get trophies of a tier above 1, you must only use weapons of a tier below the boss’.
They can be crafted into the tier below them (but obviously not above), so if you don’t like how they look you can get back to vanilla.
The higher tier, the more commonly they drop (last tier is guaranteed)
As an example, these could be the tiers!
Tier 1: Vanilla. Do I need to say something else?
Tier 2: Bronze. For defeating the boss in Revengeance
Tier 3: Silver. For defeating the boss in Death
Tier 4: Gold. For defeating the boss in Death, with either Defiled Rune or Armageddon activated
Tier 5: Platinum. For defeating the boss in DAD mode

Add more differences between Statis’s Blessing and Statis’s Curse.

Statis’s curse is supposed to be the post-LC upgrade of blessing, yet the only difference is that curse causes minions to inflict shadowflame, an average DoT debuff. Other than that, they both increase minion slots and damage by the same amount. The more recognized benefit of curse is that it can be stacked with blessing, and considering how similar the two are, this makes it basically just equipping two blessings at once. This isn’t how an “upgrade” of an accessory should be used. An upgrade should be better than its downgrade to making it obsolete in the face of it, and curse just copies and pastes blessing+shadowflame.

make queen bee harder on the surface in rev+
it makes no sense that queen bee on the surface is easier then queen bee underground, enraged forms should be harder then the normal form of the bosses.
so my ideas for making queen bee harder on the surface are:

all small bees and hornets are buffed while fighting the queen bee (i will get to it later)
make queen bee's stinger attack have a wider spread so you can't just run at a strait line from the entire attack
bring back the bee summon attack but instead of small bees being summoned queen bee will swiftly call for a decent amount of hornets to her aid (this attack would occurs at random to throw the player off) [she wouldn't be able to spawn moss hornets in PHM but when you get to hard mode she will]

Suggestion: Nerf the duration in which Yharon's Flare Bombs/flare dusts Remain in the air, assuming that the flare dust attack that Yharon uses during subphase 5 after 10 seconds has the same mechanics as his flare bomb attack...

Change: Maybe change the time in which they explode from 10-6/7 seconds

Reason: the reason for this is because they keep on ruining the fight for me, they just stay in the air and you'd get hit by them because of their non sensical Hit-Box... I know i know, "You can just RoD through it," But you must understand that Chaos state doesn't wear off instantaneously anymore. That shit is old news because you have to wait a FULL 10 SECONDS for chaos state and i think the Flare Bombs/Flare Dusts' duration until they explode being reduced can balance this whole bull-shittery out. the giant Flarenados do not help as well because they block your save passage. you can always choose to ignore this suggestion but you should implement this to make the Yharon Fight less Painful and Gut Wrenching...

Summary: A short summary of this is Change Yharon's Flare Dust/Flare Bombs' duration until they explode/despawn to 10-7/6 because chaos state has been nerfed from 6 to 10 seconds which is bullshit...

Slightly nerf depth crusher's hammer power or make it rarer.
Currently, the depth crusher is extremely powerful in terms of hammer power and ease of obtaining it.Comparison with other best hammers/hamaxes in pre hardmode:
Depth crusher:70% hammer power, 22 tool speed, drops from moray eels(ocean/abyss floor 1 enemy) with a 6.67%/10% chance, obtainable pre boss;
Aerial hamaxe:65% hammer power, 26 tool speed, crafts from aerialite bars, post hive/perf;
meteor hamaxe:60% hammer power, 16 tool speed, crafts from meteorite bars, obtainable pre boss by smashing a shadow orb/crimson heart(technically should be around the level of EoW/BoC);
Molten hamaxe:70% hammer power, 14 tool speed, crafts from hellstone bars, obtainable pre boss by the reaver shark(technically should be obtained around the level of post EoW/BoC);
rockfish:70% hammer power, 14 tool speed, fished in the cavern layer with a 2% chance at 50% fishing power, obtainable pre boss;

As you can see, the depth crusher is by far the easiest to obtain and arugably the best hammer out of all of these:As it's drop rate is quite high at a 10%, a bit of farming with water candle(easily acquired from the dungeon)/battle potions nets you the best hammer pre hardmode;Others are either locked behind bosses or require at least a bit more effort to get, as they are obtained through fishing/mining.

The Supreme Calamitas pet should speak
Generally important/hard to get pets have some kind of unique gimmick
Companion cube is the most expensive item in vanilla. It stabs you and makes noises in lava
Primrose keepsake costs 10 platinum to get the components for. It summons two pets in one and one of them makes noises occasionally
Cosmic plushie requires somehow getting to DoG and beating him on hardcore. She not only adds new quotes for npcs but also stabs you and summons a boss minion
Essentially all the important pets have gimmicks
Scal is the current final boss and could argueably be considered the mod's mascot, so it'd be nice to give her pet a gimmick.
Scal tends to be very talkative throughout the battle, so it'd be cute if she spoke to you in chat occasionally,
Maybe commenting on your current situation occasionally or making fun of you when you take damage

Reduce skeletron prime's max hp / dr

Currently, in Rev+, Prime has 90k hp and 20% dr. Due to the fast speed all the hands and the head move at, it is already extremely difficult to hit prime consistently. In addition to that, his ai makes him an already agile and difficult boss to dodge. With normal (non glass cannon) gear, the player only has around 400dps on prime so the fight is extremely long. To compensate for his difficulty and to balance out his overall difficulty with other bosses of the same tier, I suggest lowering the difficulty by lowering either his dr or hp so it makes the fight less lengthy.

Make cryogen's projectiles more visible
Reason: As of now, spawning cryogen will lead to a snowstorm starting, severly reducing the player's visibility. Either one can reduce or completely remove the snowstorm's blinding, or make cryogen's projectiles easier to spot. There are a few ways to do this and here are some:

Give the projectiles a glowing effect - they don't have to glow too much, just enough to be seen.
Make them more or completely red under the dangersense potion effect - that way one doesn't have to change the projectiles themselves, just make them heavier effected by the potion.
Give them a darker colour - this might counter-effect the snowstorm's visibilty decrease.

Bloodstained Glove's 1 HP every few seconds isn't nearly enough. Filthy Glove is better in just about every way.

Make mimics be force-summonable via keys-in-chests like the biome mimics

While mimic farming is tedious and tiring and entirely random, I don't particularly think crafting all of their drops is the right way to go, which is why I propose that they be summonable like the hallowed and corruption/crimson chests are via putting some key in an empty chest and then closing it.
I'd suggest putting a golden key in a chest to do it, but I don't know if that'd be a problem because it's a prehm item to summon an hm enemy, along with golden keys spawning in chests already in the dungeon. So it'd probably have to be a brand new key altogether, one that preferably isn't easy to get as to not completely trivialize mimic-item farming.

Rework Calamity lifesteal based weaponry.

There's a hugely problematic presence in Terraria's weapon design, and that's lifesteal. If overtuned, the player becomes unkillable, and if undertuned, the effect has no relevancy to the game. When tuned correctly, it acts as a makeshift life regen that can be frustrating and inconsistent.

So, instead of sticking to vanilla's shoddy, awkward means of lifesteal, I propose that lifesteal should embrace it's regen-esque elements and instead grant the player buffs to life regeneration depending upon certain conditions.

Each weapon could handle this differently: a rogue weapon that grants lifesteal regen on stealth strikes, a ranged weapon that provides it for using certain ammo types, a summon that channels it at the cost of minion slots, you name it. By embracing the flaws of lifesteal and considering it more practically, the mechanic can still have an identity without being as frustrating.

The duration, potency, and conditions are extremely malleable. You could have extremely short, but very high potency effects or more consistent, low-and-slow effects for other weapons. This way, lifesteal can have a place in the game, as well as some variety, without being so frustratingly inconsistent and unintuitive.

Edit: to be clear, i don't expect every existing lifesteal weapon to be rehashed, but rather some more relevant/important examples, and hopefully future lifesteal weapons moving forward. this is more about future-proofing than anything else.

Make Adrenaline/Rage Hair Dye Yes, I know it's kind of a joke Idea, and is isn't much of a huge game changing item, but I believe It would be an interesting thing within the mod itself. It could just have the player character's hair change color based on the percentage of rage or adrenaline, from a dark to light gradient, and the use of one, the other, or both could have a unique effect such as sparks emanating from the player character's hair or body when used, much like when rage, adrenaline, or both are used.

Nerf or lock Blood Moons pre-boss

As many of us have experienced having a blood moon on Death early game is very frustrating and can lead to getting overwhelmed very easily specially in the very first nights due to a lack of piercing and AoE weapons at that point. This makes exploration during it (or even leaving your base) very risky so here are some probable changes you could to to it:

-Locking Blood Moons behind a early game boss and buff the pre-boss weapons obtainable in it (like bouncing eyeball, which is outshined by many weapons acquirable at the time) accordingly (Personally I think EoC could be the best boss for this as it fits the blood-ish/gory theme of the blood moon, but any boss really).

-Increasing the health requirement from 120 to 180, so that the player can survive longer the event

-Making it not happen in the first 5-10 nights so that the player can prepare more for it

-Decreasing the spawnrate to 2.5-5 times the usual instead of the current amount (right now it is like pre-nerf zerg, but you don't have control over it until you kill Cryogen and other pre-Plantera/Calamitas bosses, this makes it frustrating to deal early game with as you have to lock yourself doing nothing for around 6 minutes due to the hordes of enemies outside).

-Balancing its interactions with Death so that it is not as frustrating to deal with early on

Improve the Tempest Staff minion AI
Currently, the sandsharknado staff seems better than the tempest staff because the tempest staff's AI is garbo. It doesnt like to attack if its too far from the player, and then it tries to basically touch the player in order to attack again, and its not fast enough to get close to the player while fighting.

Example: Tempest staff could barely hit pumpking at all unless i was willing to get hit, while sandsharknado staff killed pumpking in a reasonable amount of time.

Buff Old Ones Army weapons and add new ones.

So I decided to test every single OOA weapon against bosses, the results are the most OOA weapons are pitifully weak. Here is an example, barinaudical (aquatic scourge drop) does about 6x more damage than phantom pheonix (A post mech OOA weapon). Also, there are currently no rouge weapons, two mage weapons, two ranger weapons, five melee weapons, and twelve summoner from OOA. Calamity has so far added rouge weapons to every point in proggression but OOA and there isn't many mage or ranger weapons.

If you want to know the exact numbers from my testing, I made a google doc here.

Remove the wait for Moon Lord spawning when using celestial sigil

On Vannila, moon lord is the final boss, so this makes sense to make it more dramatic and intense, but on Calamity, this isn't the case. You still have many more harder bosses to fight. Often, you will have to fight moon lord multiple times to win, especially on higher difficulty modes. You will also have to do it later in the game when mool lord is a breeze for luminite and weapons. Simply put, this wait is really random and irritating with Calamity.

It might have an ok speed but dam it really isnt with boss speeds from difficulties like death or Revengeance.

**Give the Xeroc items more thematic consistency (namely, the ones crafted exclusively from meld bars) **

Although I'm not exactly sure of the dev's plans for the Xeroc set of items, considering that a rework has been mentioned several times, there is an underlying confusion associated with the meld bar items that is hard to ignore, and I feel a suggestion is warranted to spark a discussion about it.

The meld bar items are a hodgepodge of odd ideas. Despite being a pseudo-fragment, they only directly craft one rogue weapon, with the others requiring stardust as well. Tome of fates, The Empyrean, and Xeroc Greatsword all have vastly different themes in how they function, as well: They inflict Cursed inferno for some reason, tome of fates has a brimstone theme going on, greatsword shoots plasma balls, etcetera.
I suggest that the devs consider a unifying theme to make these weapons fit into their set more coherently, rather than being a conglomerate of old-age ideas that were badly designed in the first place.

Scal’s quotes feel very generic. Most of them are either mocking you or building up anticipation for the rest of the fight.

The only traits established by the quotes are that Scal is evil and mocking, which is true for almost every villain, including the DoG.

Remove Destroyer's resistances to specific items

Its fine for Destroyer to have resistance to piercing projectiles in general, but singling out items like Kelvin Catalyst, Cryogenic Staff, and Winter's Fury to deal reduced damage to it is kind of silly. Destroyer still poses a reasonable offensive threat for early hardmode players, but after all he is an early Hardmode boss and its okay for him to not be super difficult. Mainly the reason for this suggestion however, is consistency. Bosses should not single out specific items on a case by case basis to prevent them from becoming too easy to kill. Destroyer already has a number of ways to prevent himself from being completely annihilated too easily by piercing (50% DR against piercing weapons and deleting projectiles after a certain number of pierces), so going beyond that to single out specific items is silly. Instead, some options would be changing those items in a way that reduces their cheese potential, buffing the destroyer, or accepting that worm enemies are inherently weak to piercing items and being okay with that.

Blood Pact rework
One of, if not the least used accessory in the game, since it harms you more than helps. Double max HP pool, but 25% hits taken deal 2.5x the damage. That's only 37.5% increase in total damage taken, so it may seem decent, but there are two issues:

Maximum HP does not increase your vitality in longer battles. That's the work of regen/healing, which aren't improved by the item
If you are unlucky and get a few crits in a row, you die faster than without the accessory. It is pretty rare event, but that limits tanking strategies as the player is in constant danger of combo-crit ending the fight

One of the things that could help with second point is limiting crits being able to hit you several times in a row
Possible variations are:

"Pseudo"-RNG. If you were crit, the next hit or a few cannot be crits
After a crit, accessory goes on cooldown during which any hits taken cannot be crits. Especially useful for burst strategies
Disable crits if the wearer is below X% health. This is controversial way but it could also create synergies with HP% based effects
Buffing crit's chance/damage to compensate the buff a bit could work: the main job is to give player more control over situation, even if it leads to higher penalty.

Make guide voodoo doll easier to get
One of the more annoying parts of pre-hardmode is getting the guide voodoo doll in order to fight the wall of flesh- especially if you’re in death mode and might lose to him a few times. There is the recipe to make the doll, but fetid essence is also extremely hard to get, now that devourers are in segments. Boosting the spawn rate of voodoo demons just a little bit or giving the devourer a higher rate to drop fetid essence or have other means of getting fetid essence will make it a lot more easy to get the voodoo doll.

Add post-provi or post- ML changes to the Goblin invasion with buffed enemies that have a chance to drop items that makes reforging easier/cheaper or goblin-tech related items
REASONS:
Even though getting money is decently easy with zerg-potions + event, reforging can be a huge chore getting that elusive legendary/unreal modifier, especially on the more expensive items. Unlocking a way to load the odds in your favour, but costing a hefty amount of resources, is what i think would be a good way to make that more fun.
Then there's these late-game tech items which i thought would be kinda cool tied into goblin tech somehow (ie. nanotech requiring a invasion drop, or some new goblin tech item)

Add post-provi or post- ML changes to the Pirate invasion with buffed enemies that have a chance to drop items related to getting money easier, like an item that recycles trash items into cash, or weapons that boost coin drops, etc
REASONS:
Even though there's already the lucky coin and its upgrades, its ridiculously rare. Having some item that increases your cash making opportunities but requires killing multiple buffed flying dutchmen would be good. Or as mentioned above, something that replaces the trashcan but gives back an amount of its worth. Like the new trashcans in stardew, we could even have tiered upgrades for it to give a bigger percentage back. Would be especially helpful when farming something that drops alot of trash item (ie. pirates with all the golden furniture). Going even further on that idea, it could have auto filtering options so that it auto-trashes some items you tell it to.

Allow us to craft a non consumable version of x potion that only works while bosses are active

Reason: Calamity makes bosses a lot harder, failed attempts are common and its easy to quickly burn through potions. Farming potion ingredients over and over gets tiring and tedious. Because of this, a lot of people end up resulting to other mods like Alchemist NPC to get potions. It almost feels required because of how much of a pain it would be to farm fishing for the proper ingredients. A legit way to get potions specifically for bosses, like the one I suggested, would be really really nice to help improve the pacing of the mod for people who don't want to use other mods

My idea would be to split the leviathan and siren lore into two lore item, one with the effects related to the siren's heart and the drawbacks and one with only the effects related to the strange orb. It kinda sucks to have to lose defense and damage reduction just to allow the siren pet to not suffocate. (even if one of the lore item's effect become only "allow the siren pet to move normally outside of liquids" I'd be fine with that)

Make Plaugebringer Goliath's stingers visible underground without the help of a potion.

PBG even enrages on the surface so you are heavily encouraged to fight her underground. However, you can't see the stingers without a dangerese/omnisense potion, this makes it completely random whether or not they hit you because you can't circle either without this potion. You shouldn't be required to have a potion to stand a chance.

Add another post-DoG true melee weapon
DoG's lore item gives a 50% buff to true melee at the cost of making you more fragile. HOWEVER, the ONLY true melee weapon that exists between DoG and post-Yharon 2 is Cosmic Discharge. A 1-in-100 rev exclusive drop from what is already one of the longest fights in the game. The next best thing is Last Mourning which only deals less-than-average DPS against Yharon. Thus the lore item is practically useless unless you get lucky enough to get Cosmic Discharge in like, 10 kills.

Why not rework the lore item instead? Because lore items tend to represent their boss with like, 3 exceptions being the item range extenders which are more loose connections than anything. DoG's item already represents it best as its whole strategy is to maul your face you with no regards to safety, anything else would simply be worse.

Give Duke Fishron a rev+ attack

Almost every boss has one, but Duke doesn't, he doesn't even at least get more aggressive. Duke is really easy to beat once you know how and is even easier to beat than Golem, a rev+ attack would help spice it up a bit.

If you doubt that Duke is easier than Golem (on rev+) try this strategy out. In the final phase, he always teleports on your top left or right, just do triangles starting going to the side, up and in, and cutting back to the original location. When a sharknado is near just run away to a side opposite of Duke. This prevents you from getting hit if you exicute it properly. The others can be done just by dragging the sharnadoes to the side and playing smart. I made this strategy based off of vannila duke, and it still works flawlessly on rev+.

Revert Moonlord back to what it was once before.

As of now, you simply can't outrun Moonlord without maybe a unicorn mount or smt. anymore.
This means, you either have to stay right in the middle of him, where dodging projectiles is difficult enough already+you can't see shit because of Moonlord himself,
or run along right next to his hands where you always get hit by the eyeballs spawning.
Moonlord was hard enough in Rev/DM already so why do you have to change the bossfight to be nearly unfair in some cases?

Increase the potency of the stat bonuses provided by Stealth

Stealth strikes simply lost their place when they stopped being so spammable. This may have been necessary for balancing reasons, but to make up for it the actual stealth strikes need to be much more rewarding than they are at current. Previously, stealth was useless for most of the game then broken later on, now they're useless most of the game and mediocre/poor later on. Stealth gen while moving is a good start, but it just isn't enough to make them worth using when they require you to cease attacking for so long. Buffing stealth bonuses to make stealth strikes more powerful should help it become a more meaningful part of rogue gameplay, and help to improve a number of stealth accessories that just aren't very impactful anymore.

make it so items (namely leviathan treasure bag) cannot go off screen

modern jacinth Mar 23, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

Prevent Leviathan from dying outside of the world's boundaries. Why?

Because it's very annoying when you finish a fight with Leviathan (that could last from 3-10 minutes) and she dies offscreen (i.e. DoT effect, stray bullet etc.) causing the Treasure Bag (or the loot) to drop outside of the player boundaries, making the Treasure Bag unobtainable. This is very annoying simply because you just finished a long, hard fight only to be rewarded with loot you can't get.

One solution would be to make it so that the Leviathan can't go outside the world borders in the first place, but then her huge hitbox could get in the way of your dodging.

Another solution would be to make the Leviathan immune to all damage while outside of the world's borders, because it's not like you'd be hitting her while she's there anyways.

The last solution would be to make her Treasure Bag drop further back in her hitbox, making it less likely for it to be outside the borders.

Edit: You could also make the Treasure Bag spawn on top of you.

Add Marble to something's drop tables.

Calamity has introduced a lot of mobs that drop otherwise limited supplies, such as crawlers dropping their gems and devil fish dropping chaotic ore. Unlike pretty much everything else in Calamity, the amount of Marble you can get is limited to its natural occurrences.

Maybe adding Marble to the Hoplite or Medusa drop table would break this inconsistency?

Enchance Rogue's identity
What identifies rogue as class? Stealth and related effects. That's all.

While for other classes we have:
Melee: true melee strats, defensive strats
Ranged: three types of weapons and interactions with them, ammo interactions
Magic: unique and versatile weaponry, mana control
Summon: mobile minions and sentries, maybe?

What I am trying to say? Vanilla classes have different ways to invest their skill and resources, while rogue has only stealth as burst resource. There is many effects with stealth, but using them is awkward until end of HM, when you obtain a good equipment to generate and use stealth without limiting yourself to rest and eat boss attacks while gaining stealth. Most of peoples will not use that mechanic, but rogue without them is glorified thrower! It throws stuff, and that's one type of attack.

Let's get to the point. Add interactions between rogue categories. Not exactly new items, expand current pool of equipment to include different effects with daggers, javelins, etc, so we could invest our time in trying different weapon style, like other classes. It's already existing mechanic, but it's underused at point "we named different weapons under different categories, but stats are same".

Increase Ravengers speed and the speed of his projectiles but the lasers

Ravenger is completely helpless if you just run to the side. Him despawning is a bigger threat than anything he has because you can easily dodge it all by just running away, and most of his attacks won't ever even come on screen like the rock and flame pillars, and drill shaped nukes (I didn't even notice these existed until I check the wiki).

Suggestion:Add a new quest-giving NPC for the Abyss Biome
Why: This is because the abyss biome is a amazing biome and I would like to know more about this biome, I haven't seen much lore of the abyss and this could be a cool way for those who are interested to learn more about the abyss.

The purpose of this NPC is to add more backstory to the abyss. The quests you may get may include things from gathering to fighting enemies to getting the Terminus. They also will have a mini shop for some small items like blocks from the abyss, some materials, or some unique weapons. As you do quests you get a fraction of the lore, and as you do more quests, you can put pieces of the lore together and get the full lore. This is an idea for those people who like side quests and this can also give more lore to the abyss.
Note: Ik the rule of no items suggestions, the abyss lore won't be an item, it will be withn chatting with them and you can click a lore button, and as you do quests to learn the lore about the abyss, which can be seperate from the story of the calamity mod if need be

Make the Corruption and Crimson lore items always drop from the Eater of Worlds and Brain of Cthulhu respectively.

I noticed only one of these lore items would drop per world, from the first evil biome boss killed. For example, if the world were loaded as a Corruption world, and you killed BoC before EoW, presumably on the world’s Evil Island, it would still drop the Corruption lore despite being a Crimson boss, the same being the case for the EoW in a crimson world. I feel it would make more sense to be able to obtain both items in the same world.

Boss pets! A very rare stand alone drop from every boss, but the drop rate increases with each level of difficulty (with death mode being the highest possible chance of a boss pet dropping).

Allow steampunker to sell both evil solutions during the blood moon and also allow us to spawn our own biome mimics of the opposite evil biome
I cannot stress enough how hard it is to get the crimson into my corruption world. The current method is to go to the other side of the world, build up to the evil island, demolish the entire thing, go underground, and place all of the sand and wait for it to spread. This is ridiculously tedious. Another issue sprouted by this is trying to get a biome mimic from the opposite evil. All you can do is stand in your tiny crimson biome and wait for it to spawn. And then hope to got it drops what you want because if not, you're fucked.
I've got a possible solution to these issues
Allow steampunker to sell both evil solutions during bloodmoons, making spreading the opposite evil not the worst thing to spend your time on, and also allow us to add demonite/crimtane to the evil mimic key recipe to create some kind of specific key that spawns the specific mimic

Make it so that the non-treasure bag bosses at least drop 6x loot when using Armageddon. It doesn't really matter for Storm Weaver or Profaned Guardians since they don't drop anything that you won't get in a few tries anyway, but Signus and Ceaseless Void have rare drops. As a result, this makes farming for their rare drops more painful than farming legendary drops from normal bosses.

Give the Fin Wings an alternative way to be obtained, similar to other quest items. (resuggestion)

Reason: The only way to obtain Fin Wings currently is through a 1.4% chance after each fishing quest you do after you've already done 10 fishing quests in Hardmode. While the chances for Fin Wings double after 50 fishing quests have been done, that's still a very low chance and I shouldn't have to do more than 50 quests for this anyway. You probably won't even do the 10 angler quests because that is already way too long compared to how long it takes to get the other wings at that tier. And knowing that you have to wait a full in-game day for another quest, and cosmolight doesn't reset the quest timer, you'll probably obtain some legendary drops faster than you would obtain this.

Most of the Angler's useful items have alternative ways to be obtained and I believe Fin Wings could use an alternative too. The only other items you can only get from fishing quests are the Fish Hook, which isn't even as good as the Ivy Whip, the Fuzzy Carrot which gives you a mount that isn't really helpful at all for anything, and decorative/vanity items. All of those don't necessarily need an alternative way to be obtained because they are pretty forgettable anyway, and Fuzzy Carrot is a guarantee after your 5th quest. Everything else you can get from the Angler is obtainable outside of fishing quests and it's because the quests take way too long to do and those items need some easier way to be obtained.

The point I'm trying to make here is that currently Fin Wings are just the worst to obtain which only encourages you to get a different pair of wings because otherwise you're gonna be doing angler quests for the next few hours at least. This shouldn't be so hard to obtain and knowing that no other pair of wings take this long to get, I can't see any reason for why its requirement should stay as it is.

Add an option in the configs to bring back the old zerg potions / chaos candles

I understand that zerg potions / chaos candles were nerfed for obvious balancing reasons, but some of us miss the chaos and destruction that ensued after using one of those, and, those spawnrates made farming places like the ocean way less tedious. I'd like to see an option, disabled by default, for bringing back the old zerg

Add an option in the configs to make music boxes reach the whole map

I love the soundtracks for all the bosses and places the calamity mod adds, As well as the normal terraria soundtracks, and often get the music boxes to listen to them without having to fight the boss/go to the place (i.e. Crabulon or the Abyss) I like to put the music boxes at my arena, so when I'm grinding through an event like the frost moon, I don't have to listen to the normal terraria theme, I can listen to the DoG's theme. However, in vanilla music boxes only play when they are on screen, which means that with all the dodging and chasing you have to do, the theme fades in and out in a very annoying manner. It would be nice to have something like this because it could add the ambiance of Calamitas' soundtrack to the endless loop of Boss 1/2 themes that is the Boss Rush now.

Give a base stealth value to the player;
Right now, only rogue focused armor and accessories give maximum stealth value;This is problematic as it disencourages the uses of multi-class or all class armors like astral, fearmonger, etc;A stealth giving accessory has to be equipped for rogues to uses those armor and be able to do stealth strikes, which is a big part of what rogue is.By adding a low base stealth value(around 10-20 maybe) to the player character this problem can be mitigated;To compensate stealth granting armors can have their stealth value reduced so it doesn't just become free extra stealth.(There should also be a config to disable stealth sound and character invisibility for non rogue players so they don't get annoyed by these constantly if this were to be implemented)

Obsidian Skin potions are almost completely outclassed by craftable accessories such as the Lava charm and Lava waders, requiring identical materials/progression to use. While I don't think Obsidian Skin should regain their vanilla effects that make the Underworld a push-over, I would appreciate some kind of tinkering. Some ideas are faster movement speed/flipper in lava, extended time in lava, immunity to those pesky flame pillars in my Death Mode playthrough. Rework the entire potion to make it give it's vanilla effect, but change the recipe to say, post SG.

Add an alternate headpiece to demonshade armor the player can switch to which gives a general-use set bonus instead of the default glass cannon one

Currently, even post scal, most people would choose auric tesla armor over demon shade just because of the larger variety of stat bonuses it gives and the 2 revives. Pretty much the only time when people are using demonshade armor is when you they're nohitting if not auric tesla's survivability is always preferred over demonshade's glass cannon.

I feel that as an endgame armor set, demonshade should be superior in general and more widely used post scal than auric tesla which is pre scal. Completely replacing the current demonshade helmet/set bonus to make it a non glass cannon one wouldn't be good as there are still people who want to use glass cannon, so I suggest adding an alternate helmet which players can switch to if they want a normal set bonus, less dmg but more survivability, over a glass cannon one, in this case majority of the people.

Some possible effects of the armor with the alternate headpiece could include: Greatly increased DR, heals the player when the player deals damage, and its own unique revival. Most importantly, this armor should be superior to auric tesla overall since it is later in progression.

An upgrade to most vanilla summoner weapons and more utility to some calamity ones so they aren't so often outclassed.

Being a summoner isn't the easiest way to live, but it is quite enjoyable, yet it is apparent that most calamity summons, especially in HM out shadow most vanilla summoner based weapons. This isn't necessarily a problem that the other classes nearly as much.

The glaring issue isn't exactly damage per se, but the lack of utility or decent movemnt/ai that most minions in calamity have. In once hardmode starts, you can obtain some of the strongest summons in the duration of pre ML HM right away (clams and ice claspers) even the famed retinal staff was too slow and too weak to compete with the bosses.

After I obtained the entropy's vigil, oh good lord the Entropy's vigil, every summoner weapon up until the stardust dragon paled in comparison, making many summoner weapons of that period (of which they have little of to begin with) quite redundant.

Even the Blackhawk controller and the plantation staff, two new 'utility' minions that were added were very disappointing, the plantation staff especially so with it's lackluster damage, fire rate and fairly hefty crafting requirements.

Make Wulfrum helmets give flat damage boosts as opposed to % based.
3% of early game weapons is usually less than 1, so it makes essentially no difference. Classes other than summoner and rogue may as well go for the melee helmet since it has the most defense.

Make Hivemind's Dank Creepers or first phase of Hivemind drop some True Shadow Scales

Perforator worms drop blood samples after each worm is defeated, so you can fail an attempt but fight later on with some higher tier gear. You can't do this with hive mind. This would be a simple way to make the bosses more consistent with one another

prevent DoG from getting diddled by spamming damage into his face

DoG feels like a bit of a pushover. When he’s in his aggro phase, i just use rage/adrenaline and spam into his face and gg that’s phase 1. Phase 2 isn’t much better either.
~~pls~~
edit
maybe during his aggro phase he could move up and down while charging like a worm so we can’t ez cheese. or something

Allow players to convert 1 class emblem into another with Enchanted Metal
Class emblems are a key component to a lot of accessories and endgame ones usually ask for multiple emblems. Those same accessories also ask for specific emblems of which there is only a 25% chance to get each one. However class emblems drop from Wall of Flesh, a boss that takes a while to farm due to its summoning requirements. This can lead one to spending hours trying to farm one specific drop from one of the harder to farm bosses.

This is why I suggest that for a recipe that allows you to convert emblems as mostly a bad luck block. Now why Enchanted Metal specifically? Enchanted Metal is obtainable right after an early hardmode boss so that your specific class emblem doesn't get outdated. Enchanted Metal also doesn't have much use currently, only being used for what ends up being more expensive mech summons. It will also solve the issue that a costless conversion recipe would bring up, being free reforges.

Enchanted Metal ends up with more use and players will no longer run the risk of spending an hour and 30 voodoo dolls looking for one last Melee Emblem.

not sure if this has already been suggested but

Armageddon increases Yharim's Crystal and Thorn Blossom droprate to 6%

Reason: These weapons cannot be obtained through treasure bags, and farming for Blossom is incredibly tedious as every cultist defeat summons 4 pillars and nohitting Yharon has no real rewards as the bag is not worth very much with no legendary.

wulfram drone rework
make the drone shoot a rocket instead of the current projectile
this rocket has an AoE and sluggishly home in on enemies, the rocket will do more damage but fire slower
(from the stats of the current drone)

why?: currently the wulfram drone is the underdog almost everywhere, the slime staff is 100% better in almost every way and the squirrel staff is a fine weapon in some places
underground it can't do anything, against bosses it does too little damage, it can't help you when there are enemies coming from both sides and it can't kill a group of 3 or 4 enemies, i hope these changes will allow this little drone be more compatible in boss fights, confined places and against groups of enemies.

make adrenaline timer increase as you progress instead of decrease
instead of going 45 -> 35 -> 25 -> 20 the timer would increase from 20 -> 25 -> 35 -> 45 as you defeated bosses
instead of having items the timer would just decrease automatically

The early game is where players should learn how to effectively fight bosses, having a shorter timer helps as a guide
If the adrenaline timer is higher in later stages players would have to be more mindful of their character if they want kill

Make the suspiciously looking jelly bean mount be able to go through platforms

The point of this item is to be slime mount 2.0, and it delivers in all aspects but this. It seems weird for it to be a slime mount with different abilities, not to mention how annoying and arbitrary it is that you can't. This can lead to you getting hit and sometimes losing in some boss fights because of the time you slow down to release the mount, fall through, and bring it back (cough cough Yharon).

Smarter Minions for Jungle Dragon, Yharon Subphase 4 & 8

I'm currently on a summoner only run on revengeance mode.
I realized that most of the time my minions won't attack yharon in those 2 phases since he is mostly invulnerable. Which leads to me having to dodge for a minute straight in each of the phases.
Subphase 4 isn't as bad because you can skip it if you hit him with adrenaline & rage at the 40-35% mark. But subphase 8 gives me the horror.
Maybe it is just a me problem, but I'd really appreciate it if the minions could align more with Yharon's movement during those phases so they actually deal damage to him.

Resprite a few enemy banners to fit their current sprites
The why is simple, the banners for a few enemies aren't really consistent with their sprites or palettes. Banners are generally neglected but many of them could be used decoratively and it would be better for the banner to fit the enemy it comes from. The majority of the inconsistent banners come from the recently respritten abyss enemies.
List of enemies with inconsistent banners: Angry Dog, Cuttlefish, Viperfish, Moray Eel, Charred Slime, Giant Squid, Laserfish, Sand Tortoise, Mirage Jellyfish, Heat Spirit, Plagueshell, Impious Immolator, and Bobbit Worm

Nerf slime god damage and enrage fire rate
Slime god in normal mode deals from 30 to 50 base damage to players with about 10-20 armor in pre-hardmode. It also has 60k health combined making it a long, painful fight. Slime god should be dealing half as much damage as the wall of flesh at max damage and speed only does about 20 damage per laser. The boss reccomended to fight before slime god, skeletron, also only does 10 - 20 damage with a slap. This is all in normal mode. Slime god's enraged mode fires at an extremely fast rate with multiple orbs in a shotgun form while also dashing at the player. If the player is hit once by the body of slime god they get the distorted debuff for a long 3 seconds (also could use a nerf). This locks them in the air floating and while they are there they get hit by the crimson orbs inflicting the cursed debuf, not allowing them to use items. This combination marks a player practically for death. Even with 40 defense while wearing adamantite armor in hardmode the player still takes around 15 - 30 damage per hit which is relatively high for normal mode. TL:DR The slime god does too much damage and it's enraged form fires too fast, also the disabling debuffs last too long.

Have the small worms from Astrum Deus spawn in pairs or smaller groups as the main worm's health decreases, rather than all 11 at once at the start of the fight.

❔
Currently, the fight against Deuces Wild --- the single most hitbox-heavy worm boss fight in the game --- is a unique but awkward one. While the idea of the fight is extremely good on paper and has a lot of potential, the execution of the fight as it is now falls flat because it provides the player with about 100 hitboxes that can be hit at once; this explains why Deus has an extremely harsh pierce resist and over a dozen specific resists on top of that. Making the small worms spawn in pairs or groups of 3, and presumably having both the small worms and the big worm evolve a bit more in terms of moveset throughout the fight, would not only open up a large number of possibilities with having the worms do new things, but also solve at least a decent portion of the plethora of balancing issues that this fight tends to bring up due to piercing funnies.

Frost wings give a stat boost when frost armor is equipped, and is already a powerful armor set, But forbidden armor, a set generally considered rather lackluster does not get this.

To save inventory/storage space, add a new crafting material made by combining a seashell, coral, and starfish which will be used instead of the former 3 ingredients to craft victide bars, and would be dropped by cnidrion, desert scourge, and aquatic scourge instead.
Inventory space is limited in the early game, and having to give up 3 inventory/chest slots is kind of a pain, especially when those items are pretty useless on their own anyways. Combining them into 1 reduces how much it clogs up inventory space in a fairly simple way.

Make some clues about obscure behaviors of bosses
Nothing in game tells about Mechs being pissed off by gravity switching, or Goliath being angry on surface, or Fishron being angry outside of ocean, aside from attacks. That's not fair for player, because they have no clue, why big lazer eye shoots really fast and kills in one hit, or why big bee spams bombs, or why this big brain just leaves. Enraged state can be highlighted by tooltips of summons like "These robots are designed to work only on default gravity", or by status messages: "Skeletron Prime have detected gravity altering. Activating additional engines".

Boss Highlights also have the feature, that tells you about despawns, it can be added as some visual effects, than will indicate "oh no, this boss will despawn or enrage outside of this area" (pulsing/alarming arrow than points to boss's biome), when player is about to leave that area.

In case of Skeletron [Prime], they have DG forms, that also not explained. One of variants: laughing skull icon above player and status message ("The Dungeon's curse lingers on your shoulders, waiting for daytime..."), when time hits 3:30 AM, in that way it's not obvious, but gives a clue, than something really bad will happen once day starts.

Add a tooltip to the Eidolon Tablet saying that it summons the Lunatic Cultist on use

Remove the 200 total HP limit for the goblin army

Reason: This is a vanilla feature that I feel like it removes some non-linearity from the game for no discernable reason, and also removes some player choice from doing the event whenever they want. To add to this the event already has a requirement of needing to break a shadow orb, and for the battle standard I think that since it's an event summon item that can be crafted at any point in the game it should be used at any point in the game.

Buff the Hive Mind/Perforators when you enter Hardmode. Why?

As of right now, you could fight them in early Hardmode for a very easy Cursed Flame/Ichor farm. There's no challenge to the fight at this point in progression because of all the powerful weapons available, especially if you've already gotten all your farming done. It would take about 5 minutes to get enough materials to last you the rest of the playthrough.

They would be challenging enough on their own with just some simple stat buffs (HP, damage, etc.) and/or they could have some entirely new attacks (ex. Randomly shooting balls of Cursed Flames for Hive Mind, or a stream of Ichor shooting out of the worms mouths for the Perforators.)

Buff the Teardrop Cleaver: Current stats are 18 base damage per hit, 23 swing speed, and inflicts Temporal Sadness (a decent pre-hardmode debuff, I guess) for all of 1 second. Either extend the debuff duration, allow the sword to fire a beam that would inflict the debuff, or massively increase the damage to be the equal of something like the Burnt Sienna (which is available before any bosses). In Revengeance/Death, it's just not good enough when you're able to defeat the Eye of Cthulu.

Give Vanilla bosses their own articles on the wiki
I think that the loot and ai changes to the vanilla bosses are significant enough for their own articles, rather than lumping all those changes into a single page. It just makes those changes harder to prepare for in-game, and its annoying getting sent to the vanilla terraria wiki, clicking without thinking on a link to one of those bosses.
Another reason, strategies for bosses, recommended builds, those are completely absent for vanilla bosses in calamity (to my knowledge) and players reading the vanilla wiki for tips will get absolutely destroyed by those bosses, especially in rev/deathmode

Give an Audio/Visual Indication when the player tries to summon a new minion but is out of slots

Currently whenever I play late or even midgame summoner it can be difficult to keep track of whether or not I am maxed out on minions. Most summon weapons will continue to make the summoning sound and consume mana even when out of slots, making it difficult to tell when to stop. A separate audio cue (or even just a lack of the usual noise) would be helpful for quickly rebuilding your personal army.

Rather simple way to go about buffing probably the most obscure modifier group. The modifiers themselves didn't imply that the speed increase must be horizontal only, so might as well add vertical buff.

Make the nurse refuse to heal during bosses in revengence
This is already a thing in death, but I feel it should be extended to rev too. Rev is supposed to be a challenging mode, so the fact that you can trivialize a hefty number of rev bosses by mirroring to nurse feels like something that definitely should not be allowed. Heals are more expensive during bosses in rev, but this isnt nearly enough given how easy it is to farm money in calamity

Make Brimmy less vulnerable during her eye laser attack
Why: When she does this attack, she is stationary, meaning that many weapons can dwindle her health and you can even go true melee on her. Giving her DR while in this phase will allow her to not die extremely quickly to most weapons during this phase. Another solution could be to make her move around a little more or have some extra projectiles during the phase specifically.

Give the Flower Boots a purpose:
Currently, they do next to nothing, only growing grass/flowers on grassy blocks. In Vanilla, this makes them ideal for bait collection, but in Calamity, the Merchant NPC sells all three levels of bait before the start of Hardmode. M-bait has the highest bait power of any non-Astral item, leaving the Flower Boots a purposeless accessory.

Therefore, the Flower Boots could be given an upgrade that would make them something a player would actually want to get in their Jungle Shrine chest. Due to the fact that Summoner accessories (at least in this current patch) are few and rather weak in pre-Hardmode, I suggest making the Flower Boots a summon accessory of some sort.

A possibility would be creating short-lived "mini-turrets" when the player is near enemies and their feet are in contact with the ground. Whether the accessory required grass to function and/or the summons depended on the biome are up to the developers' discretion.

A simple function would be to act as a speed and magic-stats increase if the player is wearing the Jungle Armor, Chlorophyte Armor, Tarragon Armor, or Uelibloom Armor with the buff increasing with the respective tier of armor. Combining both ideas, the boots could also be allowed to work with the Bee Armor and the following Summoner sets of Jungle-related armors.

Give the Lunatic Cultist more depth.
Right now, the Lunatic Cultist is a speedbump in overall progression and presents a problem seeing as you can go straight from post-Plantera to Celestial Events without fighting any bosses. It should be like fighting Duke pre-mechs where there's a strong challenge but a huge reward. LC isn't a hard boss at all.

I think the main problem with LC is his general slow attacks, lack of punish for just running away from him, and in general just lack of his own mobility. To combat this, I'd give him a new effect called "Celestial Madness" which would slowly darken the screen similar to his lore item and cause the distortion effect similar to the one when ML is about to appear. I'd also give him a teleportation similar to ML/KS and faster attacks as the ones he currently has are generally slow and easy to avoid. Celestial Madness could also give additional effects, for example causing you to deal less damage, random gravity flips, slower movement speed, Ravager's broken wings effect, or just damage. If you want to make Ben's life hell, you could have Lunatic Cultist's dragon go invincible and become aggressive when you're inflicted with Celestial Madness

Rework Rage
Why: Rage Meter is currently the same with Adrenaline, but much less potent due to being dependent on damage recieved (which is really discouraged in late game), using one subclass or wearing one accessory, which makes rage just a worse Adrenaline.

Instead of burst of damage like Adrenaline, Rage can be transformed into long-term boost for offensive stats. For example: after pressing Rage Mode you gain a lot longer buff, than rather than increases damage by a lot, increases your damage, crit, weapon speed, movement speed and knockback slightly. In that manner, Rage permanent upgrades will increase duration of buffs.

Gaining rage can be also modified:

on getting damage your relative HP should be taken into account, like getting damage on low HP gives a lot more rage than getting hit on full HP.
swinging true melee weapons could use combos, when continuous damage increases your rage gaining per second, rewarding long close-ranged combat.
Heart of Darkness+ could also depend on max HP percentage, like your heart pulses higher when heavily injured.

That tweaks will help Rage being different from Adrenaline and more appealing after mid-game.

Make Guide Voodoo Dolls stackable
Reason: It's just plain annoying. They take up too much inventory/storage space without any real reason too. And if you're a screwup(like I am) then you need a lot of attempts to beat WoF, so you need to keep them somewhere. Also, consistency (other consumable boss summons are stackable).
Having a lot of dolls can also screw you up if you're building a hellbridge and you accidentally kill a voodoo demon above lava, you might not have any inventory space left to save yourself, 'cause it's already full of them. Having them stack would fix that.

Give a base stealth value to the player;(resuggestion)
Right now, only rogue focused armor and accessories give maximum stealth value;This is problematic as it disencourages the uses of multi-class or all class armors like astral, fearmonger, etc;A stealth giving accessory has to be equipped for rogues to uses those armor and be able to do stealth strikes, which is a big part of what rogue is.By adding a low base stealth value(around 10-20 maybe) to the player character this problem can be mitigated;To compensate stealth granting armors can have their stealth value reduced so it doesn't just become free extra stealth.

This is a repost of a suggestion made about 1 week ago

Suggestion: Add a new quest-giving NPC for the Abyss Biome
Why: Because out of all the biomes, the abyss biome in my opinion is such an awesome biome with cool enemies, and treasures. I don't know if their is a lore or a lore exists, but it would be a cool side-quest that adds a NPC who knows all about the abyss biome.

The purpose of this NPC is to add more backstory to the abyss. The quests you may get may include things from gathering to fighting enemies to getting the Terminus. They also will have a mini shop for some small items like blocks from the abyss, some materials, or some unique weapons. As you do quests you get a fraction of the lore and you get more pieces over time as you do the tasks for the NPC. This is an idea for those people who are really into the lore of the calamity mod.

Or

Make a leviathan summon
The leviathan boss can as of now, with no other mods, only be spawned naturally in the ocean. This alone does not pose a problem, and instead is an interesting and unique way of surprising naïve players and providing a segue into the boss fight. However, the leviathan's Community, a legendary accessory, has an extremely low 1% drop chance with no ways of boosting this chance, which means that due to the leviathan's natural spawns, players have to constantly wait for a ??? to kill so that they can then kill the boss.

I propose getting rid of this middleman by adding a craftable item to summon the leviathan. It would function much like the starcore, where it is only able to be crafted after the leviathan's defeat to still give the ??? enemy a use, as the current system works well for everything but farming. This would allow for the leviathan fight to remain virtually unchanged, with only the time sink of waiting minutes for the ??? to spawn being removed for those looking to farm for the Community.

Rogue armor made with Cobalt/Palladium
Reason: every class gets their early-HM armor, except for rogue, that need to stuck with statigel until Daedalus/Umbraphile (so this is problem of consistency). Also, non-titanium HM ores usually don't get as much love as other materials.

This armor could be themed after fencing, as it is combat sport (Cobalt) and from western culture (Palladium). As gimmick, this armor could have two leggings items than benefit stealth spells or rogue subclasses, introducing player to these mechanics.

Lava geysers in death mode need a small warning before they appear

At the moment lava geysers erupt from the lava in hell with zero warning, giving you no time to react or move out of the way, resulting in instant unavoidable damage. They need a short puff of smoke to indicate where they will appear, even just a half a second warning will be plenty of time to move out of the way.

With this tweak, lava geysers should also be more deadly to punish the player for not dodging them, extra damage and defensive debuffs would be appropriate for getting blasted by lava.

Why: these effects basically dont do anything to enemies at the point when you are able to craft this item. I’ve seen them deal 1 damage to enemies, which is pointless since most of the weapons you obtain post dog can surpass 100k dps.

Some more info: other late game accesories that gives an "when you take damage, you release projectiles" effect, also seem quite weak. Examples could be The amalgalm’s brimstone fire, and the stars dropped from the Rampart of deities.

Death in Terraria is a rather munduane experience of forced time to think: "What did I do wrong? What the f... is wrong with this game/ boss/ weapon?"
To that end, I propose the following:

Make the game show some kind of a quote, either funny of ironic, under the "You were slain" Text. Preferably, make the quotes be unique, should the player die to a specific enemy/ projectile.

Simply put, you will die in Terraria. Death counter goes into hundreds in no time at all. Some kind of quote would make the game seem like it's mocking player, making fun of them, or just trolling them. Perhaps some messages of this kind could even be connected to Yharim personally judging the player?

No idea how this would look like? Check any RLCraft playthorugh. Whenever player dies, there is a quote of some kind, like "Rage incoming" or "You dropped something"
Imagine the possibilities to add the game new depth here.

Implement a reasonable (i'll leave exact duration to staff discretion) slowmode in #calamity-mod-talk and other channels (if it leaks to them or becomes a problem) on update days and for a short time after the update due to how rapidly the quality of the chat deteriorates and becomes genuinely unpleasant/unenjoyable to be around.

Make the Band of Regeneration craftable
Reasons:
1)It's used in several recipes, but whether it appears(or isn't terribly hard to get to) in your world is random;
2)Consistency with other vanilla accessories which were made craftable.

An accessory similar to the Profaned Soul Artifact but it summons miniature versions of the Sentinels of the Devourer. It feels like it would be appropriate, and the Sentinels could each have a different way of attacking or supporting you. I want this because it would be a nice counterpart to the Profaned Soul Artifact. (also it'd be neat running around with an army of all of the late-game bosses. We already have the profaned soul artifact, the cosmilamp, and the sons of yharon, so why not complete the set?)

||Remove Irradiated Slime's ability to charge at the player
I dont understand why they have this. I just makes 90% of the event running away from flying slimes, the event would be a lot more fun if i wasn't running from them the whole time. they aren't boss, so they shouldn't be trying to be on screen at all times. Also, the slimes only drop the lead core accessory, and they force you to focus on them which prevents you from getting other loot.||

Slightly reduce Antlion Charger defense
They are more early game enemies in calamity (in vanilla most underground desert stuff is intended to be post-eow/boc), but their defense is so high that many early game weapons end up doing 1-2 damage to them and killing them very inefficiently Reducing their defense a bit would make killing them less grindy and more efficient.

||Nerf the Spent Fuel Container
it is possible to get this item right after aquatic scourge, and it melts through the mech bosses, it melts brimmy, and melts cal. Although i havent tried it yet, its most likely melts plantera and astrum aureus. I don't think a pre-mech item should hold this much power. btw, I was on death mode.
Kill times:
destroyer: 19 seconds
prime: 2:55
twins: 3:47 (this one not so much, hard to hit)
Brimstone Elemental: 31 seconds
Calamitas: 2:58||

I just want an upgrade to the counter scarf, it is an item that I love and it needs to be shown more love. It drops from one of the first bosses and I still use it well past Moon Lord. I would also love to see variants that don’t only raise melee damage, as I normally play ranged.

Make evil islands not generate in space
Evil islands tend to spawn in space, which overrides evil biomes in most ways. While evil fishing drops can be obtained, evil enemies(including bosses) are unable to spawn, instead space enemies such as harpies spawn in their place. If evil islands couldn't generate in space, they would instead generate in the sky above the surface, far enough so that it doesn't spread, but not so high that it's almost dysfunctional as an evil biome

||belladonna needs a buff or a change in the biome you need to acquire it from, nothing in the jungle should be balanced around pre boss, atleast not a summoner weapon, surviving in the jungle for long enough to get 8 stingers and 8 vines is literally ridiculous when you're reliant solely on ai with no knockback. The jungle is clearly balanced around somewhere in mid pre hm considering the enemies deal around 50+ base damage, and no pre boss gear can handle that kind of abuse for meaningful amount of time, the other gear from the jungle usually lasts until skeletron, and since the jungle is a small space where you can't run away you get ripped apart, and all of this for a minion that is honestly weaker than a regular wulfrum droid with it's tiny damage and low fire rate||

Make Sharkrons from Duke Fishron's Sharknadoes/Cthulhunadoes wait a second before dealing damage.

❔
Consistency with the 'nadoes they come from, as they too wait a second before dealing damage + prevention of cheap shots from managing to lead a 'nado into a wall only to instantly get fucked by a Sharkron that just happens to be floating around and not even launched yet.

Make the Bat Hook not drop from halloween bags, but instead be craftable with materials from the Pumpkin Moon at an Ancient Manipulator. Since it easily outclasses and makes every other hook in the game useless except for the Bobbit Hook, it's basically nessecary for your survival if you want to dodge good, which shouldn't be a thing for a hook available only during Halloween.
This suggestion fixes both of these problems, by making it consistently available at an appropriate tier. Why you can't just rebalance it? Because you can't rebalance hooks.

Make it so you can toggle the visability of Asgard's Valor/Elysian Aegis/Asgardian Aegis without diabling the dash ability

Why?
A lot of players me included like to play around with character customizations and vanity items. It is a little bit frustrating when you put effort into the looks of your character for role playing purposes just so it's ruined later in the game by a big shield right in front of your face. And since the dash ability is pretty much a requirement at this point toggling off its visibility isn't an option.

Make it so that you can craft the Caustic Tear without needing to do the Acid Rain event first.

Why? Because it's a waste of time waiting around for an RNG event, especially if the player is updating from an earlier patch and already late into the game. There are QoL items to force spawn events before waiting on them naturally such as the Arid Artifact, Solar Tablet, and the Goblin Battle Standard to name a few, which make the players life easier, so this would be a no brainer (especially since the new BiS summoning accessory requires a material from the event).

Ideas: Use the Torrential Tear + misc. sulpurous sea items to craft it, or a rare drop from the Aquatic Scourge.

Make a placeable rogue buff
Something similar to the sharpening station, which buffs your rogue weapons upon interacting with it, it can either be crafted by the player or sold by the bandit
An item like this can help the class feel more "at home", promoting the class and bringing interest to those who are new to modding and such

Give Endogenesis a UI feature to indicate which mode the current summon is in

E.g. A name/short description of the mode's behaviour in the buff tooltip like "Endo Cooper (Laser)" etc.
It would make the weapon more convenient to use on the fly since you can just quickly mouseover the buff icon to check it rather than needing to find a nearby enemy/dummy to test it on

give rev mode nurse a cooldown after healing you
The nurse is disabled in death mode, but in rev mode the nurse is completely unrestricted, so you can still abuse the nurse (albeit at a much higher cost, but the cost isn't really a deterrent since money is so easy to farm in calamity). Make it so that once you get healed by the nurse in a boss fight, there's a 30 or 60 second countdown before you can get healed again, will make rev mode much more challenging while not being as hard as death mode because you can still use the nurse.

Make philosopher's stone a craftable item.

Reason:
It is used in many recipes e.g charm of myths which is the reason it is used in many recipes.
Its pretty hard to find a mimic in the underground as you use the zerg potion but other enemies will spawn instead of a mimic.

Add an upgrade to squirrel squire staff later in the game
Squirrel squires are really cute summons and I think it would be cool for them to come back from the first summon to a super strong lategame summon. Enemies will learn to truly fear the squirrel squires once they start throwing explosive acorns or stuff like that. I think a lot of people would find this upgrade cool.

Update Primordial Ancient's (and Primordial Earth's) particle effects.

As of now, the projectiles fired by Death Valley Duster, Primordial Earth and Primordial Ancient all look the same: Yellow-brown dust particles, just fired in different spreads and with different ranges. As you progress through the game and upgrade from Death Valley Duster up to Primordial Ancient, the weapons get stronger, but their projectiles' appearance doesn't change at all.

Primordial Ancient's sprite features purple smoke coming out of the spell tome, and I think its projectiles should reflect that with some kind of purple smoke/dust effect accompanying the regular dust particles. The reason that I'm mentioning Primordial Earth too is that if you use Death Valley Duster for a while and then finally upgrade to Primordial Earth, you get a new weapon but when you use it, it looks the same as the previous one, which in my opinion takes away a bit of the fun of using the new weapon and is the same issue you face when upgrading from Primordial Earth to Primordial Ancient.

The projectiles should change, at least slightly, with every weapon upgrade, so that the feeling of wielding a much more powerful weapon is not only conveyed through its DPS.

Resugg: Make the meld set more in-line with the lunar sets
The meld set is pushed as being a rogue equivalent to the lunar fragment sets, however the much more diverse set of weapons, the fact that you have to make meld blobs into meld bars before they're useful, and the lack of a corresponding hamaxe or even a second rogue weapon all say 'classless', not 'rogue'. A light rework is in order, in my opinion.

Add in a Sulphurous Sea or ||Acid Rain|| Crate:
Considering every other Biome in Calamity has a crate, I think that the Sulphurous Sea should get one as well to provide an alternative way of acquiring the new content from the ||Acid Rain Event and new Generation for the Biome.|| Also, the Biome finally has enough materials to warrant a unique Crate.
**But What about Abyss Crates?:**Abyss Crates could still exist alongside the Sulphurous Crate and be obtainable as a Sulphurous Sea fishing catch, while the Sulphurous Sea drops would be removed from the Abyss Crates.

Seeing as how a FPS reduction on low-end hardware is an actual tip on the Calamity Wiki page for fighting DoG, why not implementing an item that once toggled, can slow down time to give the player a much higher reaction time?

Make Pre-Hardmode acid rain event non cheesable in deathmode
I just finished an acid rain event prehardmode in my Deathmode playthrough and i was able to just place some blocks above me to prevent the falling acid blobs from hitting me, and platforms above sea level stop almost every threat from reaching you (excluding skyfins and any lucky nuclear toads that spawn below you). My sulphourus sea spawned on the right hand side of the world, and most of the enemies just crawled towards the left of the sea, along the sea bed, making this event extremely easy, I know that this is a new event so there will be some changes made to it over time when you guys get the time to, i am yet to experience the further stages of this event too which im guessing are more fleshed out due to the higher number of enemies that are avaliable later in the game

for context i was using mage gear, meaning that Ranged, Rogue and Summoners and projectile Melee will also be able to do this, only class that'll struggle is True Melee but not many people pick that class ;p

As Calamity expands the Summoner class, and mixing and matching minions becomes more a staple of the class, there should be a hotkey to de-summon all your minions so you don't need to right click all the icons to move your summons around. It'd help a lot in early summoner when you're trying to transport your hermit crabs, etc.

Buff stardust guardian
The stardust guardian is one of the only vanilla armor set bonus minions, but even in vanilla it is very underwhelming. It does only around 40 damage and does this damage in a very small area, making it almost useless for bosses and even killing normal enemies. It's damage should be buffed at least to match a single stardust cell or maybe even more since it is a post-moonlord armor set. My suggestion for how to fix its low area of effect is to give it the ability to teleport on its own as well as make the cooldown between explosions shorter.

Give Wulfrum shards another use, like making them a substitute for the Variegated Lardfish ( the fish you usually craft summoner potions with) but instead of requiring only 1 make it require 5 shards. The only good use for Wulfrum shards after the first boss is being auto trashed or selled.
