#

But like since you are here @inner anvil you have any idea as to why and why no one was told about it?

inner anvil
#

I didn't know that either.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

frosty trellis
#

Well, can you ask fab please?

small timber
#

I think the reasoning is pretty obvious (to nerf its effectiveness against AEW in particular), but ya

#

since there is literally like, no other circumstances where you have exo box in abyss

frosty trellis
#

I mean it helps a lot with just trying to dodge AEW

#

It's not perfect by any means because even with it you need to know it's attacks

small timber
#

the thing is it is still by far the most effective way to dodge AEW just because of the free movement

#

(since swimming is ultra clunky)

#

so I think the nerf is like reasonable, just there definitely need to be something else to replace it

#

since with how AEW's attack are right now, fighting it by only swimming is not super fun

frosty trellis
#

It's not really reasonable

#

Hence why I thought the fight was designed with exo box in mind

rotund tree
#

was it ever the same speed in and out of the water ?

#

i don't see anything that says it should be slower while underwater

#

except, well... water just slowing down everything that moves through it (unless they have a special effect)

#

also, if making AEW easier is your objective, flipper potion makes the exo chair move underwater as if it wasn't

frosty trellis
# rotund tree was it ever the same speed in and out of the water ?

Literally before this most recent patch (I fought AEW many times in 1.5.1.6 and tried a number of times and failed in 2.0.0.3) and it never slowed down
When trying to fight it in this most recent patch I noticed exo box moved WAY slower in the abyss and I wasn't the only one to notice this

small timber
#

I will just turn on a world to test

rotund tree
frosty trellis
#

Huh

#

Literally never noticed that

small timber
#

I dont think there is a nerf

#

it is water physics yeah

frosty trellis
#

Wild

#

I never noticed that in 2.0.0.3 or 1.5.1.6

small timber
#

weirdly celestial shell + diving suit make it accelerate even faster

#

instead of only needing 1 of them

frosty trellis
#

Zamn

hollow shell
#

Perhaps a 1.4 port side effect? (if you did most of the fighting in 1.5)

frosty trellis
#

So just wear those and probably use flippers

#

Got it

frosty trellis
small timber
#

yeah you probably forgot water physics immune, which can be rare if you didnt pay attention to it

frosty trellis
#

Probably because I was wearing suit and c.shell

#

Wasn't wearing c.shell recently

#

(Or suit since I was trying to contagion meme)

#

That would do it yeah

#

Ty for clearing that up

rotund tree
#

it's more than just "swimming" accessories, the only ones that affect the mount are those that straight up remove water physics

#

like cshell, victide armor, flipper potion (flipper, abyssal diving and aquatic heart all do nothing to mounts)

frosty trellis
#

Icic

#

So just a misconception on my part, thanks

inner anvil
#

Lmao it's not that easy.

frail mantle
#

@surreal field that's the plan

#

but it won't happen yet

surreal field
grim tusk
#

Summoner when it first needs to get rebalanced from the ground up to add whips

drowsy plank
#

truly the most normal class

solemn dust
#

@static lion how is calamitas useless?

drowsy plank
#

it's because you only get her at the very end of the game ultimatesmug

#

obviously this makes her bad

solemn dust
#

Not really, she allows your weapons to get far stronger and makes some pretty powerful new ones

drowsy plank
#

yes i am joking

solemn dust
#

Why would u do a joke suggestion?

drowsy plank
#

but if you're bad, that's probably what you'd think

#

i didn't. im. making a joke because id bet you like 20 bucks they're not gonna respond

#

and it thought it was funny

solemn dust
#

I mean they hit you with an !

drowsy plank
#

that is not me

#

im making fun of them

solemn dust
#

Oh lmfao

drowsy plank
solemn dust
#

I got played HyperFailure

tardy smelt
inner anvil
#

No I didn't.

#

Why does everyone say that to me? 🤔

frail mantle
#

he was forced to rebalance summoner

inner anvil
#

No I wasn't!

inner anvil
#

You don't have proof, you don't win.

tardy smelt
#

spot the difference

inner anvil
#

Yeah, I did notice.

#

Same answer.

tardy smelt
#

bbyeah

inner anvil
#

I voluntarly balance summoner. 😒

frosty trellis
#

This is true because when I ask for stuff to be fixed memes is willing too and I ask him nicely

inner anvil
#

And I tell you to fuck off.

#

Just kidding, just kidding.

#

"Buff Mage"

#

...?

golden kayak
#

Yeah just do it

#

Or no balls

bright crag
#

It's not a perfect class by any means and it needs some balance but like

#

Not like it's unplayable rn

(Hello Venus)

bright crag

And it certainly has its highs

#

(Hi Kuv)

upbeat yacht
#

apparently there's something wrong with their game since they're getting 9k dps on DoG with dark spark, while everyone else got 20k with a somewhat similar loadout

neat linden
#

(Broken Dark Spark, no accessories, no armor, aiming only at body parts)

upbeat yacht
#

maybe they just don't know you need to wait for it to start shooting rainbow lasers

#

that would be epic

frosty trellis
# bright crag And it certainly has its highs

Post Evil1 with the hilariously overpowered Hellwing Staff
Post AS with Slithering Eels being amazing
Post-plant Tears of Heaven being solid on so many things
Post solar pillar and the bat shit crazy lazhar
Post ML with Ele ray that can carry you until DoG
Post polter with Dark Spark and Victriolic Vipor being some of the best dog weapons periods
Post DoG everything sucks
Post Yharon has Helium Flash which is hilarious
Post SCal gives you the hilariously broken Rancor

Like mage is insane throughout most of the game

bright crag
#

Post AS in general is pretty epic

#

None of the weapons it unlocks are bad

versed cape
#

well

#

ok I cant really say since ive never actually tried flak cannon

bright crag
#

Flak Cannon is ranged iirc

versed cape
#

oh just for mage?

bright crag
#

Wdym

#

Oh

#

Yes

#

I mean post-AS Mage specifically

#

Slithering Eels, Belching Saxophone and Miasma are all good, if not busted

versed cape
frosty trellis
#

YEAH THE FUCKING REVIVE

#

Because GSD is borderline useless for Yharon and SCal

versed cape
#

omega blue gang

frosty trellis
#

And the revive is just obscene

small timber
#

for Yharon I think it is actually pretty useful (45CD dodge 1 bullet hell), but ya GSD is not good for scal

#

at least silva revive is way better on scal for like bh5

versed cape
#

oh yeah yharon

#

just skip subphase 7 slow bullethell

frosty trellis
#

Sp7 for GSD is fair but the problem is unless you build arena walls you could accidentally GSD outside the arena and enrage him and that's why it's just... Situational at best

neat linden
#

Arena walls don't take much effort

frosty trellis
#

At least with GSD on Exos Thanatos is a fucking bitch and it makes him so much nicer when combined with Celestial Tracers and Void Sash

versed cape
#

sounds like a no elysium issue

neat linden
#

The biggest issue is that GSD is fine to use for 2 bosses, while revive for 3

#

it's just not useful for scal

frosty trellis
#

Since that has the wall bouncing thing

versed cape
frosty trellis
#

GSD is a very long dash and gives you full iframes

versed cape
#

that would mean youd have to have yharon do a bh at the edge of the arena and then GSD into it immediately

#

which literally no one does

frosty trellis
#

Death Mode

#

Shortens the barrier

#

Giving larger risk

versed cape
#

Id know with my 1300 attempts at yharon nohitting, thanks

frosty trellis
#

Well nohitting isn't what shit is balanced around or should be taken into consideration

#

Thanks

versed cape
#

ive yeshit enough to know GSD doesnt fling you across an entire yharon arena

#

and that optimally placing bhs gives you exactly that much space

frosty trellis
#

If the attacks are perfectly dodgable and reasonable without GSD and I have yet to find a need while testing to use GSD for anything on Yharon then yeah it's more situational rather than like amazing

#

It's no fucking REVIVE

#

GSD is not even like situational for Exos it's actively amazing because Thanatos is a bitch

neat linden
versed cape
neat linden
#

so like i don't see heavy issues with bringing up nohits when talking about a mobility-related ability

frosty trellis
versed cape
#

oh my god fucking wanred

neat linden
#

as per duck's request

versed cape
#

this is how you consistently do bullethells in subphase 7 and probably the best possible use of GSD

#

skip the bullethell entirely, probably even fast enough that yharon hasnt begun teleporting and charging at you before youre done with the BH

#

GSD is less useful during fast bullethells, but theyre easy anyway

frosty trellis
#

Ah sp7 bhs, that would make sense

hard bronze
versed cape
#

bullethell

frosty trellis
#

Bullet Hell

hard bronze
#

why dont for the final boss of yharim 100% of the screen is projectiles

#

no space to dodge cuz its all 1 color

#

and the color is just a projectile

frosty trellis
#

So just make the attack undodgable and kill nohitting

#

Sure

frail mantle
#

killing nohitting would be funny but purposefully making something undodgeable is no

versed cape
#

cmt never cared about nohitters anyways

#

the most oppressed minority in gaming

hard bronze
ruby plover
#

Dramatic much

upbeat yacht
#

Does he know?

small timber
#

Abit late but worst case scenerio you can always just gsd up

#

Yharon teleport above you before bh, so you can just drop down at the start of bh then gsd up to dodge

versed cape
#

oppressed and gamers never belong together outside of memes

swift wharf
#

whats gsd

versed cape
#

godslayer dash

swift wharf
#

a

#

I use it when yharon dashes into me

frail mantle
#

iban considered doing this but he deemed it too annoying to code iirc

#

also APA is slow to fire unlike the ultrakill railcannon so it'd probably be annoying to railcoin as well

junior wasp
#

I mean, wouldn't be too bad, could prolly just kill the beam once it collides w the coin, and spawn another beam aiming at another coin or enemy with a % dmg increase

#

but it's not like I'm actually that serious abt the suggestion tho lol, just wanted it out into the world

swift wharf
#

railgun suggestion n55

gray nebula
#

the beam is a hitscan thing

#

itq not easy at all to just kill the beam at a certain point

golden tulip
#

wait

#

what happens if you railgun a coin in ultrakill

junior wasp
rotund tree
golden tulip
#

insane timing though

#

throwing a coin, waiting for it to be behind someone, switching guns and then aiming with the railgun

hollow shell
#

That's Ultrakill for ya, yep

golden tulip
#

god damn

short walrus

thats not even one of the more precise ones iirc

this quote really do be pretty usable

yo they put the coin gun from calamity into ultrakill

hollow shell

I will exclam the sugg for the whole Reference for reference's sake reasoning

umbral dew

calamity players try not to mention ultrakill mgr or hollow knight for 1 day

hollow knight?

what hk references are left in the mod other than the boss rush curses ?

Not that I'm aware, no

iirc

hollow shell

byeah

crude geode
#

Yeah they are

golden tulip

yea its been a while since ive seen someone who said they did the curses HDfailure

crude geode

Could sugg removing them tbh

junior wasp

nah man, someone had to spend their afternoon making those HDfailure

the community when BR curses are removed flightsad

#

(nobody used them)

eternal escarp
#

a few already did get removed once iirc

hollow shell
#

what

eternal escarp
#

im pretty sure there used to be a few more?

#

a dash lock one that got removed because of ball and chain
mayne im hallucinating idk

hollow shell

I thought there was always 4, cuz that's now many there are in HK

Hang on I can find out

... there's 3

yeah knew it

golden tulip

wdym old

rotund tree
#

i mean before some were removed

golden tulip

accessory curse is gone???

hollow shell
#

Apparently

rotund tree
#

boohoo

golden tulip
#

what the hell

eternal escarp
#

dash stayed and accessory died?

#

huh

golden tulip
#

i swear i saw them yesterday
👨🏻‍🦳

eternal escarp
#

well that shows how no one ever uses them i think

rotund tree
#

dash curse existing when ball and chain is a thing

hollow shell
crude geode
#

Accessory curse existing wasn’t much better considering you can just

#

Not equip more than 5

eternal escarp
#

indeed

junior wasp
#

just witnessed the death of bossrush curses, gaming

hollow shell
#

They ain't all removed yet

junior wasp

yet

zenith flicker

I think dragon fire (debuff) should be removed

@tidal epoch you're gonna need reasoning for your sugg

drowsy plank
#

it is kinda weird how world gen spawns 3 fuckin evil biomes in large worlds

#

if we moved one underground then we could get rid of the evil V :)))))

crude geode
#

I was gonna say isn't that messing with hardcoded vanilla stuff but I can't find that don't in the document rn

hollow shell
#

I did remove that from the Don't regarding biome spread
cuz 1.4 makes it not so bad due to the Journey power

#

and also it was very old and our programmers have more experience

crude geode
#

Very true

thorn dock
half sage
#

the crystal is fully intended to be killable, that's why the change was made, you're thinking of infernum where it has a shit ton of health and respawns when defeated

frosty trellis
#

@wintry frigate Have you tried holding your summon weapon and right clicking the enemy to retarget?

wintry frigate
frosty trellis
#

Um

#

It is fully intended to be killable

#

What

wintry frigate
#

killable yeah

frosty trellis
#

You can kill the jewel and that's intended that it's a possibility that you can kill it

wintry frigate
#

but nobody is going out of their way to do it

frosty trellis
#

If it's killable how is it not intended?

frosty trellis
wintry frigate
#

either way, still a general inconvenience for summons to constantly switch targets during a fight

swift wharf
#

killing the jewel makes it easier

#

wtf

drowsy plank
#

on death the fireballs can get really annoying

swift wharf
#

can't you just whip KS too

drowsy plank
#

unless you have a TON of space to run in that is also flat you can totally get sniped by em

#

yes

#

they dont want to have to whip him

swift wharf
#

ofc they don't

drowsy plank
#

but also you can just right click target from a distance

#

they dont want to get to close to him to retarget with a whip

#

which like

#

it's king fuckin slime????

swift wharf
#

you don't even need to get that close

#

god

wintry frigate
#

why is everyone getting so angry over a suggestion post 💀

swift wharf
#

cuz it sucks iirc

wintry frigate
#

a lot of things suck but i dont waste time arguing over it

swift wharf
#

You posted a suggestion

pastel crow
#

@frosty trellis

swift wharf
#

Expect people to talk about it

#

Real

frosty trellis
#

And Crescent Moon homing improvements will help a ton

pastel crow
#

👍

cobalt pewter
#

I think the issue with this whole summoner targeting discourse is that

you can just whip KS if you want summons to target it, you just seem too lazy to

swift wharf
#

did the projectile become slower or faster

frosty trellis
swift wharf
#

or just right click/kill the crystal 😭😭😭😭

cobalt pewter
#

summoner targeting things that aren't originally in plan will be inevitable due to how aggro works, that's why you have a couple options to shift targeting

wintry frigate
cobalt pewter
#

(by right clicking or whipping)

swift wharf
#

Ah infernum

#

In that case

#

skill issue

frosty trellis
#

It's infernum so not a calamity issue

cobalt pewter
#

mf suggesting a cal change for an unofficial game mode

half sage
#

^

cobalt pewter
#

so no, that sugg is invalid

swift wharf
#

and infernum KS is fine for summoner

#

like

wintry frigate
swift wharf
#

use wulfrum set

#

it does

#

💀

tepid heron
cobalt pewter
swift wharf
#

where's the ian msg when you most need it

wintry frigate
cobalt pewter
#

and your suggestion of whipping KS being hard in Infernum might as well not valid when KS is easily whippable in Rev+

swift wharf
#

not the point

tepid heron
swift wharf
#

the point is that the suggestion is invalid for lots of reasons

cobalt pewter
#

suggest something related to Infernum in the infernum server, not here

tepid heron
#

calam devs arent gonna change stuff about infernum

#

cuz

#

its not their mod

wintry frigate
#

not asking them to

cobalt pewter
#

?????

wintry frigate
#

tge crystal isnt a part of infernum

tepid heron
#

yeah but the issue is only a problem in infernum

#

in base calamity killing the jewel is more helpful than annoying

cobalt pewter
#

not only your reasoning in the original sugg is bad because "oh doing x is annoying" without further substance, Infernum significantly changes how Rev+ KS works so that strategies would be different on the two

tepid heron
#

what he said

cobalt pewter
#

there are already two ways to redirect minions, and if you don't want to use either, it's your loss, and not the game's issue

tepid heron
#

the whole point is to discuss suggestions

cobalt pewter
#

I'm naturally angry all the time so that's not wrong on my end

#

but yes

#

Summon targetting crystal is infact usually ideal yeah

#

Because the crystal is super easy to kill

#

If infernum making you target an unkillable crystal or whatever it is a problem they should fix on their end

swift wharf
#

it's not unkillable

ashen warren
#

it respawns

but literally just right click KS

@next herald no.

reasons why the bot should exclaim your message for having specific words trol

nah, we should totally ban aotc from being suggested at all

oh my GODDD

The good thing about these types of suggestions is that they typically auto exclaim themselves

cobalt pewter
#

@tidal epoch just to be sure, your suggestion meant the evil chasms that the world generate?

#

or just both evils?

drowsy plank
#

oh i forgot we dont need a ton of hearts now either because you only need to craft the summon once

#

wacky

small timber
#

The only use for the hearts is for the drop now

and maybe a first time fight

crude geode
next herald
drowsy plank
#

go bother YuH with it

#

lol

tidal epoch
# cobalt pewter or just both evils?

The drunk seed generates both evils in the same world so there must be minimum 2 biomes, one for corruption and the other for the Crimson.

But in normal worlds there's only one natural biome, so only one is necesary if you ask me, It doesn't have a lot of sense that there's 2 perfectly identical biomes, and the mod doesn't need the altars anymore, so that problem and the orbs are that problematic anymore anyways.

tidal epoch
fiery venture
#

add catastrophe and cataclysm weapons, melee and magic, you get them both by enchanting them both at supreme calamitas, for catastrophe, the sword be an extremely high damage weapon, but with slow projectiles that inflict either armour crunch, defence damage, or slowness on hit, when it hits an enemy, the slash projectiles can arc loosely towards other enemies, for cataclysm, a weapon that shoots fists as cataclysm does, however, this weapon will be unique, a slider for accuracy will show on the item while in the inventory, putting it to the most inacurrate mode will result in a massive damage increase, maybe over 5x, all fists will inflict the strongest bimflame debuff for 5 seconds, catastrophes sword will be an enchantment of the beam sword, and cataclysms fists will be an enchantment of the nebula blaze

#

I really like this idea, I think it'd fit perfectly

hollow shell
#

cuz that would be an invalid suggestion

#

s'what we call a "Specific Item Suggestion"

#

Suggestions should focus less on exact implementation ideas, and more on concepts that the public and devs have the ability to decide the specifics on

#

Suggestion content should primarily be the reason why an idea should get in, not elaboration on the exact details

weary shoal
#

A dinosour pet/Mount, or multiple that do different things e.g velociraptor goes speedy or something that digs or flies

hollow shell
#

There is a dinosaur pet in vanilla

fiery venture
#

I'm thinking it would just add more to catastrophe and cataclysm, I mean, they aren't really seen as much, another idea is lore pieces, I really love the ideas of the brothers but in a way it just feels like all they are is their attacks, even sub-bosses like them should have more of a 'boss feel', and a lot bosses are better looked upon by the drops and attacks they have, take the giant clam for example, despite being a miniboss, if you fight it at the right time it really does feel like a boss, having drops and more attacks, an example of something that is barely remembered is the great sand shark, if you fight them both you can tell that the clam feels more polished

hollow shell
#

That is better

#

The Cal Clone fight does have a future redesign + rework in the works, which will include new (and more thematically fitting) bro behaviors

#

just so ya know

fiery venture
#

Nice

tardy smelt
#

I thought it was just a resprite honestly, beyond that brothers would probably need a rework to fit their new sprites :p

ashen warren
small timber
#

in fact, summoner association or toasty nohit QoL also add the exact same feature

#

the catch is these mods also often adds function that is not just "show minion slot used"; fargo of course have a bunch of grind reduction feature to the extent of can be cheaty; summoner association have things that fundamentally change summoner, and toasty nohit QoL straight up add cheat items that are used for nohit

#

which is why I suggested for calamity to add this themselves, instead of relying on external mods

ashen warren
#

fair enough

@mental quiver

  1. why should this happen
  2. wrong formatting
#

also just why in general

#

:nuclearoption:

golden tulip
mental quiver
#

i updated it, sorry

small timber
#

What is the necessity to have a config like this?

#

Or rather, why do we need a config that is the equivalent of "revert malice"

crude geode
#

Reminder

small timber
#

A config like this for obvious reason it would be incredibly unfair and full of bullshit

mental quiver
#

unfair in what way?

small timber
#

The tldr is the suggestion effectively will revert malice except even more lazy, because there is no change outside of speed this time

mental quiver
#

it doesn't force anyone to use it, and those who do can choose exactly how strong they want it to be

small timber
#

It doesnt force anyone to use it is not a good argument, why does it need to exist to begin with?

What benefit does it bring to anyone?

mental quiver
#

as an option for those who do want it

#

it would benefit those who would use it, but doesnt affect those who dont

small timber
#

If "it doesnt force anyone to use it" is a valid argument then they should readd nohit mode, defiled and so on

#

Or just add a bunch of random things like "nerf all player damage by 99%" config, " player dies after 1 minute into the boss fight" config

And just say 'no one force you to use it'

mental quiver
#

if this is true what negative effects could it have? im open to hear them but i only see positives:

small timber
#

Why add an incredibly flawed function (that will obviously receive 0 maintenance) just because people like maxing difficulties

versed cape
#

Thats not a valid argument

crude geode
#

you ever heard of the term bloat before

versed cape
#

Same as why malice is gone

mental quiver
#

i havent no

short walrus
#

tldr calamity is moving away from "hardest mod xddd !! !! !"

crude geode
#

Also that

short walrus
#

which is exactly what you suggestion is

versed cape
#

Maintenance and effort outweigh how many people need that

mental quiver
#

thats the good part, a config like that would require very little maintenance

#

just like the boss health percentage

versed cape
#

@mental quiver try nohitting instead

mental quiver
#

its just a percentage slider

Slaughterhouse

mental quiver
#

thank you

#

i havent posted recent progress

#

didnt see point

versed cape
#

But why play bad levels

mental quiver
#

i find it fun

#

back to discussion though, the pros outway the cons, i can draw it up for you

crude geode
#

Reminder that this is generally dev’s thoughts on adding something similar to hp bar scaling.

#

.

mental quiver
#

difficulty maxing is one thing, but removing options that can be easily ignored by those who dont use it, help those who do, and require very little maintenance makes 0 sense tbh

#

i get you dont want to promote it

#

as the forefront of the game

#

but no ones promoting the hp scale

#

but its still there

short walrus
#

no ones promoting it so why keep it

mental quiver
#

because people use it, and it doesnt hurt those who dont

short walrus
#

free up space for something infinitely better

#

Who.

mental quiver
#

me

small timber
#

Read like, 2nd people above when you said that

cobalt pewter
#

can we ban config suggs now

mental quiver
#

it makes 0 sense logically to remove it

#

if not does anyone know anyone who would realistically be willing to make a mod for that

short walrus
#

it makes 0 sense logically to keep it

#

go literally anywhere else but here

mental quiver
short walrus
#

or read anything anyone else has said
please

#

config bloat

#

"calamtiy hardest mod!!!"

mental quiver
#

sure

mental quiver
#

ill just forget about it and find someone who can make me a mod then

#

games 0 fun now

#

i didnt mean for that to sound aggressive

crude geode
eternal escarp
#

malice with extra steps

cobalt pewter
#

malice but I chop your head off

swift wharf
#

BASED BLAST

cobalt pewter
#

how bout that

swift wharf
#

I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT

cobalt pewter
#

that's gonna be fun

#

byeah I think the point has been delivered across

#

I still harbor immense hate towards malice even after its removal

crude geode
#

this chat does in general

cobalt pewter
#

and I've done exactly 0 malice runs

#

anyways yeah funny sugg already been run to the ground

short walrus
#

this is a really bad batch of suggestions

swift wharf
#

also isn't there a mod that adds malice back

short walrus
#

i think so yeah

distant gyro
#

kill

cobalt pewter
#

imagine bringing back malice

distant gyro
#

however i appeal to the possibility of making one

eternal escarp
#

toasty made one yeah

small timber
#

If I remember the suggestor is the same people who introduced Destiny Mode

eternal escarp
#

im pretty sure all it does is activate boss rush ai because those are malice ai still

cobalt pewter
#

what

distant gyro
#

especially one that just scales to fucking impossible just so you can't properly put it in a challenge run

small timber
#

So ya, it is literally "I cant add back malice so let me just try to add it back with a bad config"

ashen warren
#

i dont intend to make it any better either

swift wharf
#

good.

eternal escarp
#

@ashen warren yeah not like that

#

you ping testers here with weapons you think can use a buff / nerf

#

not as an actual sugg

#

hi im a tester

frail mantle
#

hi a tester

inner anvil
#

Hi, these are testers.

#

I tested Dark Spark as of recently, there is nothing wrong with Dark Spark.

long ridge
#

Yeah

frail mantle
#

that's just how the weapon works

#

last prism does the same

frigid hawk
#

@inner anvil Hello again
Bro, there are so many of these weapons that I'm even too lazy to write that they need a buff, testers need to go through the whole calamity for a magician themselves to understand which weapons are bad, it's actually easier for me to name good weapons than bad ones, because there are too many bad ones
Of the good ones, I can single out: Elemental ray, vitrolic viper last prism, dark spark (its buggy that so it disappears mid-fight), voltaic climax (cause of its range is not usable sometimes, but generally good), nuclear fury (at that stage of the game in which it creates a fairly good weapon) - these weapons are really you can use it, most of the others cannot be used because they are not designed for battles. (Well, actually I'm pre-yharon now) - my post from chat
I also want to note that most magic weapons are just a reskin, which works exactly the same as their previous version, but it does more damage, I would rather say that the damage does not depend on dps, but on how the weapon works, so I think you should reconsider many magic weapons since many of them really can't be used normally + they look outdated

frail mantle
#

yermes christal too, pretty sure

eternal escarp
#

yeah they just dissappear after a minute

frigid hawk
eternal escarp
#

last prism most certainly used to

small timber
#

alright time to yoink MPG's mage test results

eternal escarp
#

idk if 1.4 JE changed that

long ridge
#

Is rancor bugged too?

eternal escarp
#

rancor isnt coded like Last Prism so

frail mantle
eternal escarp
#

i dont think it stops after a minute

#

also thats not a bug its like

#

specifically made to do this

#

iirc

frigid hawk
# frail mantle

Pretty sure its bag cause its still drains mana but doesnt damage i mean there`s no even visuals

small timber
#

dark spark do stop after 1 min iirc

inner anvil
#

That doesn't make it bad, we need to nerf it still. HDfailure

#

You know you can just, click again.

#

Right?

eternal escarp
#

i could likely check a lot of mage soon honestly

#

i have the free time

inner anvil
#

Blast, please do, I want to deal with summoner.

small timber
#

dark spark do have a long charge time, but ya its dps on dog is still way overtuned

frigid hawk
eternal escarp
#

memes promise to ping me soon enough so i wont forget

small timber
#

though isnt it better to give DoG dark spark resist instead of nerfing damage?

inner anvil
eternal escarp
#

i may knock some items off my personal list that same time

inner anvil
small timber
#

since I am pretty sure it is only good against worm, nerfing dark spark will make it unusable against polter and old duke

eternal escarp
#

dark spark is post CV isnt it

#

not a very yharon weapon

inner anvil
#

Yeah.

long ridge
# frail mantle

Guess it's a vanilla oddity like chainsaws and drills stopping after a minute

frigid hawk
small timber
#

oh dark spark is post polter actually, have ruinous soul

#

so it is only usable for DoG and old duke

eternal escarp
#

if you could make an actual list of weapons you believe to be underpowered COMPARABLY to every other weapon on tier in mage, let me know

#

and dont just list "all of x and y tier" that doesnt help me much so yea

frigid hawk
eternal escarp
#

dummy dps means nothing fyi HDFailure

#

we test by killtimes

#

byea

inner anvil
#

Dummy DPS means literally nothing.

#

Smoke.

eternal escarp
#

it isnt, i just informed it

inner anvil
#

^

eternal escarp
inner anvil
#

And if it can't hit bosses, then let's just rework the weapons lmao.

eternal escarp
#

truth!

long ridge
small timber
#

if you compare the literal best weapon to every other weapon on tier everything will look underpowered yeah

frigid hawk
#

Dunno bout ranger

small timber
#

in this case it is elemental ray vs every other weapon, of course everything will look bad

inner anvil
#

Anyways, I'm gonna' go deal with summoner.

eternal escarp
#

tell me the specific weapons

frigid hawk
eternal escarp
#

you dont have to check for yourself, just whatever you remember to be lacking

inner anvil
#

Blast you were caught lacking.

small timber
#

I yoinked this from MPG, but event horizon is probably like ok I assume?

neat linden
#

yeah deathnail being the worst out of the bunch

frail mantle
#

deathail is the dog drop isn't it

neat linden
#

correct

frail mantle
#

makes sense that it's the worst one then

eternal escarp
#

deathail is one of those weapons that need to be reworked iirc

frail mantle
#

though probably still shouldn't take 8 minutes

eternal escarp
#

it should take half the time

#

like, litterally

frigid hawk
#

Not really rework

#

Just make it faster and homing better yk

eternal escarp
#

thats not a rework really thats just a buff HDFailure

frigid hawk
eternal escarp
#

when ill test them ill see whats an appropriate buff

frigid hawk
#

Half of them are not even 20k 😭

small timber
#

weapon test dont really look at dps number, it is mostly kill time

frigid hawk
#

Other classes gonna kill him faster too 💀

small timber
#

4:00 is yharon's killtime, expectedly weapons should fall around that, in this case it can be a bit weak (I assume because alcohols matters a lot more for mage, which testers cannot use)

#

it is in fact that other classes are overperforming and should be nerfed

neat linden
#

tbf, all classes have that one weapon that just shreds Yhar

small timber
#

like almost every single post-DoG rogue weapon get 2-3 min kill time

main hatch
#

holy crap why is his kill time 4 mins

eternal escarp
#

because tester gear isnt glass cannon

main hatch
#

no wonder he takes so long to kill

frail mantle
#

cause that's how long the fight is intended to last with a very neutral loadout

inner anvil
#

No-Hitters when they realize that a boss shouldn't be killed in 1 minute:

eternal escarp
#

no, not nohitters

small timber
#

like this is ranger

eternal escarp
#

just players HDFailure

inner anvil
#

Lmao lol!

small timber
#

(by the same people who had the mage result above)

#

most of them falls around 4:00

frail mantle
#

bosses are balanced around not leaning too heavily into neither damage nor defense, and the intention of the player seeing the whole fight and everything the boss can do

frigid hawk
small timber
#

that is becaues rogue are fucking broken

inner anvil
#

That's because Rogue is OP.

#

We need to nerf it.

frigid hawk
inner anvil
#

Melee is also OP.

main hatch
#

true

frigid hawk
#

Bro 💀

umbral dew
#

or maybe mage is just underpowered

eternal escarp
#

it could be both tbh

frail mantle
#

balancing is hard

main hatch
#

i think mage and ranger might be the only normal power rn

inner anvil
#

Mage is just that class that didn't get a game-breaking bug.

eternal escarp
#

im not taking that option down

frigid hawk
inner anvil
#

Well, you're not wrong.

#

But I nerfed it next update. HDfailure

eternal escarp
#

ranger is the least broken class basically

#

because its mostly consistent

main hatch
#

also the most boring one

#

mage best

eternal escarp
#

to you

#

i like ranger

umbral dew
#

so every class except mage is op because they all have a gamebreaking bug?

inner anvil
#

Mage. 🤢

frigid hawk
small timber
#

this is rogue

frail mantle
#

saros possession

main hatch
#

sheesh gods paranoia

frail mantle

#

god's paranoia get a 1:37

frigid hawk

#

caltester

small timber
eternal escarp
#

though you can get caltester from places

inner anvil
eternal escarp
#

i think its listed in the nohit doc, but it may be outdated there

#

nycros has killtimes?

#

i forgor

inner anvil
#

Yeah.

#

Always had.

eternal escarp
#

lol

frigid hawk
eternal escarp
#

then use nycros yeah

main hatch
#

apotheosis is very weak iirc

inner anvil
main hatch
#

very weak

frigid hawk
inner anvil
#

IDK.

main hatch
#

eternity is based

umbral dew
#

gruesome eminence

inner anvil
#

Just use whatever and it'll probably work.

main hatch
#

fabstaff is really strong too

frigid hawk
main hatch
#

gruesome is fun for killing npcs but ive never found it useful for bosses

frigid hawk
#

As i said before a lot endgame mage weapons are not usable such as gruesome eminence

main hatch
#

heresy is good

inner anvil
#

Correction: A lot of engame weapons are not useable.*

frigid hawk
#

Yes^

main hatch
#

nanoblack is rogue

inner anvil
#

Nanoblack is probably the strongest weapon in Calamity right now.

frigid hawk
inner anvil
#

If X weapon too weak I buff, if Y weapon is too strong I nerf.

frigid hawk
#

XY what that means?

main hatch
#

variable

inner anvil
#

X: any weapon, Y: another any weapon.

frigid hawk
#

oh k

eternal escarp
#

it means (insert weapon)

inner anvil
#

LMAO.

eternal escarp
frigid hawk
#

Nah ik that but yh kinda not im stupid af

frigid hawk
eternal escarp
#

by killtimes

#

we have a wanted killtime for each boss

#

and balance in accordance to it

inner anvil
#

Yeah, we don't balance around DPS.

#

We balance around how fast can a weapon kill a boss.

eternal escarp
#

you can find these killtimes in the wiki too, in the DR page i believe

main hatch
#

honestly who remembers the spiky ball weapons though

eternal escarp
#

though idk wiky may be slightly outdated for a boss or two

umbral dew
#

does killtime include missed projectiles

frigid hawk
inner anvil
#

Most probably.

#

Also my face when reply pings everywhere: 💀

main hatch
#

do you know if there will ever be an equivelant to the biome blade for mages

inner anvil
#

I don't want another Biome Blade.

main hatch
#

just something as cool

#

not exactly biome blade

neat linden
#

thats all i think

main hatch
#

man just looked at the entire spiky ball section of calamity wiki

neat linden
#

actually no

frigid hawk
neat linden
#

i remember the balls

main hatch
#

boutta turn dragonfruit into some permanant buff item

frigid hawk
#

Who`s updating calamity wiki or its doed?

inner anvil
#

Depends on which wiki.

neat linden
frigid hawk
neat linden
#

editors, contributors, random people in general

#

anyone can edit it, as long as they have an account

umbral dew
#

the hypnos page is still up so yes it is dead as hell

neat linden
#

that is still good

#

fixing grammar helps improve the quality a bit

umbral dew
#

also the 9 billion ads on fandom's website

frigid hawk
#

Btw was mad alchemist glove good in past?

neat linden
#

wiki.gg has very few ads, all of which disappear the moment you log in

umbral dew
#

kid named adblocker:

neat linden
#

i think fandom staff has already proven they care about income more than about the wikis actually working properly

#

and i don't mean staff as in the lower people who revert vandalisms

#

i mean the higher-ups

inner anvil
#

It generates money, so they don't.

#

No cap.

inner anvil
#

And the 50 ADs.

#

For every page.

umbral dew
#

pretty sure fandom also pays google to show up first when you search up a terarria or calamity related item

frigid hawk
#

Tbh i hate fandom site so much

#

Its shows me fandom in google

#

So i need to check url

neat linden
#

that is why i don't google for calamity items

red stormBOT
neat linden
#

i do one of three things

  1. search on the wiki directly
  2. use wikibot
  3. use firefox's keywords feature
hot zephyr
#

just use a keyword

neat linden
#

3 is essentially 1 but from any page

frigid hawk
#

Ik but writing "!wiki" is way too long, easier to just write "wiki"

hot zephyr
#

it's in every search engine

#

just type in "wiki.gg" to the search bar with quotations

#

yes fandom pays google for preferential treatment
no, we can't take down the wiki even if we wanted to

neat linden
#

not sure if that works with other browsers but on firefox you can just
HDfailure

frigid hawk
#

firefoxboohoo

neat linden
#

requires adding the "@c" of course but once you make that, it's super reusable

frigid hawk
#

Im using microsoft edge

hot zephyr
#

stop

frigid hawk
neat linden
#

i've been using firefox for an uncountable time now i think

hot zephyr
#

bootleg chrome

neat linden
#

it was my main browser since forever

cobalt pewter
frigid hawk
hot zephyr
cobalt pewter
#

what is he cooking

neat linden
#

you can also use an extension that redirects you to wiki.gg automatically

frigid hawk
#

I dont use adblocker cause im supports sites when watching ads

neat linden
#

you know you can set up exceptions on most adblockers

frigid hawk
#

Yk when u watching ads u support someone

neat linden
#

like block ads on all sites EXCEPT x

frigid hawk
#

Ok btw

#

What is infenum mod?

#

I have heard everyone use it since malice was removed

inner anvil
#

It's an add-on that adds a new difficulty.

frigid hawk
#

How do i check my class weapon level?

arctic terrace
drowsy plank
#

im begging people please use firefox they're killing manifest 2 in like 3 months and all adblockers are going to die

#

chrome is literally monopolizing it

#

anyway yes yharon mage sucke

#

but overall the class is not bad

#

it'll be nice to get the (hopefully) big balance patch next update. am gonna have to redo class setups again tho boohoo

versed cape
#

tell me a mage weapon ill kill yharon with it, mage isnt bad

#

with youtube upload

drowsy plank
# safe oasis wtf is manifest 2

a set of standards for plugins, basically google is moving to manifest 3, which is this super-hyper-ultra-"""secure""" version that stops plugins from seeing like. any of your web data at all. so adblockers just Don't Work Anymore. and the same will happen to everything running chromium

drowsy plank
#

it's Bad

versed cape
#

30 seconds are tolerable if the weapon has special properties that help you in some other way

versed cape
#

like lifesteal or view

drowsy plank
#

they Don't

#

it's tesla cannon and ehorizon

versed cape
#

or incredible homing that lets you just hold M1 for the entire fight

drowsy plank
#

and for tesla you gotta use two to even get close because Charge Be Like

#

i think ehorizon has homing? idr, but it's still a minute over time

#

but everything else is just miserable

versed cape
#

well thats because MPG setup is bad

royal tapir
#

Event Horizon is incredibly braindead

versed cape
#

its mostly defensive acc

drowsy plank
#

lmao

#

no? it's half def half off???

#

that's how you're supposed to do testing???

neat linden
#

I don't think rtn is even that good for offense

versed cape
#

I never use def accessories with the exception of community

drowsy plank
#

fair

royal tapir
#

Also I don't know what strat MPG was using but Primordial Ancient is way better than that

drowsy plank
versed cape
drowsy plank
#

wh

#

then i do not care

#

testing is how we balance the game

neat linden
#

yeah you have to expect for every player to use damage builds clearly

versed cape
#

very balanced im sure

drowsy plank
#

if we're gonna be """practical""" you can kill ML in 30 seconds with melee rn

neat linden
#

if with practicality we kill bosses fast

drowsy plank
#

oh my god shut the fuck up you're one of those "well it isnt balanced right now so it never will be" people

neat linden
#

let's balance around nohit setups

#

clearly

#

thatll work

versed cape
inner anvil
#

🍿

drowsy plank
#

lmfao

versed cape
#

am I wrong?

inner anvil
#

IDK.

#

What is even happening.

drowsy plank
#

i just mentioned mage yharon is underpowered rn

#

was literally it

neat linden
#

yes cause it is

inner anvil
#

Could be true.

drowsy plank
#

i mean mpg did the testing

versed cape
#

oh my god shut the fuck up you're one of those

#

yeah, thats all you said im sure

drowsy plank
#

yeah because you came in saying the testing was bad without knowing how we do balancing and then made a jab at how balancing is bad or something

versed cape
#

crazy how mods let that slide but saying the same thing to a mod is instant ban

drowsy plank
#

im just annoyed because i knew it was gonna devolve into exactly this

royal tapir
versed cape
neat linden
#

damage builds sacrifice survivability, defense builds sacrifice damage, so i think it's logical that you test with a build where you sacrifice the least of anything

inner anvil
#

The testing process should've never been told publicly.

versed cape

aero stone huh HDfailure

drowsy plank

the funny

royal tapir
#

I prefer Aero Stone over Soaring Insignia for Yharon because acceleration is 💀

drowsy plank
#

what weapon was that

versed cape
#

but shouldnt you be using exquisitely stuffed? it changes stats a lot and everyone uses it

royal tapir
#

Primordial Ancient

#

lmao

royal tapir
frail mantle
#

thanks

drowsy plank
#

yeah sorry

versed cape
frail mantle
#

yes

neat linden
#

i haven't seen that happen yet

frail mantle
#

we don't instantly ban people for being rude to a mod once

neat linden
#

so until i see that happen i will say that is wrong

versed cape
frail mantle
#

the only times we instantly ban people is if they're spamming something or posting nsfw or something like that

neat linden
versed cape
frail mantle
neat linden
#

so what you're saying is that

#

basically no one has seen it happen

versed cape
#

"no one" when you only talked about yourself

neat linden
#

have you heard of anyone who saw that happen

#

or got hit by that

versed cape
#

no because I never asked

neat linden
#

so, you are saying you can't back up your claim

frail mantle
#

i'd say don't claim that mods ban anyone who is a dick to them once if you literally do not have any proof of this claim

versed cape
#

yes and neither can you

#

thats the nature of using entirely subjective experiences as proof

neat linden
#

maybe if this was terraria discord

versed cape
#

just cmt has 14mill messages

neat linden
#

there i have seen bans happen for 🤨 reasons

versed cape
#

I doubt you have seen even 1% of them

edgy sundial
#

this sounds like personal experience, have you ever been banned from here, @versed cape ?

frail mantle
#

i can, in fact, back up my claim that what you're describing doesn't happen here

versed cape
neat linden
#

what, the ban log assuming that's a thing?

frail mantle
#

because we log all the punishments that happen, even if it's just telling someone off for doing something stupid, including the reason why

neat linden
#

for proper reasons that is

frail mantle
#

it is very easy to just

neat linden
frail mantle
#

and Read to see if someone even remotely recently has been banned for talking back to a moderator

arctic terrace
#

"#idiot-log" lmao

frail mantle
#

that's the name

arctic terrace
#

yeah, i like it

frail mantle
#

that's why i can do it for you

versed cape
edgy sundial
versed cape
#

the mod can tho

frail mantle
#

either way this argument hasn't really gone anywhere

neat linden
#

i think you should add proof to the claim before anyone should debunk it

versed cape
#

oh wait we shouldnt really argue in this channel

frail mantle
#

i can confirm that nobody gets banned for minor infractions like that

hot zephyr
#

leon's gonna censor me 1984

frail mantle
neat linden
#

if i want to dismantle an argument, i look at the evidence given and see if that holds up

#

your has none

frail mantle
#

i'd recommend dropping the argument at this point

edgy sundial
#

@versed cape kicks puppies, prove me wrong CalSmug

neat linden
#

but this is a suggs discussion

neat linden
frail mantle
#

i'd say so yes

versed cape
#

and some ppl interpret that worse than others

neat linden
#

do you consider being an ass to be a major infraction

#

on par with spamming or posting inappropriate images

versed cape
#

probably

#

yeah

#

at least no one really gets hurt in the latter case

neat linden
#

i don't think a random person being an ass to a moderator once hurts said mod

versed cape
#

thats hard to know

#

youd have to get a testimony from every mod to know that

neat linden
#

for first time it'd be a verbal warn first probably

neat linden
#

just a heads up to stop being ass

versed cape
#

you would get arrested for this in north korea

drowsy plank
#

so

#

how about those weapons

#

idk

#

im glad most of my suggs are doing well, but ive got more weapon recipes i want to send but also like

#

if other people dont send stuff im just gonna be competing with myself a lot

#

which doesnt help them get in

gray nebula
#

weapon recipes wym

drowsy plank
#

some changes to recipes to make sense and reduce repetition

#

i already talked to the donors about most of 'em, and i got the IDs from rover for the rest

#

mostly stuff like clock gatligum and pearl god being used in multiple weapon lines while other lines get neglected even tho they'd fit just as well

#

got one to add some new weapons to prince/thorn blossom so they feel a bit more distinct. idk what prince even works like rn but they said i had permission to request improved functionality too if i wanted but idk if it really needs it

#

basically like the devil's sunrise sugg in voting rn

#

also remembered that terragrim drops from cosmic eles at 1% recently but it's already in voting so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

doesnt make my point any less true tho

frosty trellis
#

At a fairly fast fire rate as well

quiet belfry
#

why when i killed ravager before plantera i got post-planter loot. Is this normal?

frosty trellis
#

You mean you got the geode? Yeah that is normal and part of progression skipping possibilities

quiet belfry
#

can i use it in no-damage?

frosty trellis
#

Nohitting isn't any part of official stuff. That you go to #help-advice-read-pins and see if there are any nohitters there that would know

half sage
#

iirc for nohits plant has to come before golem and golem has to come before ravager, since ravager summon needs temple bricks

neat linden
#

the "official" nohits follow intended progression

#

if you do a nohit run for fun, you don't need to follow nohit rules

#

and as such, you can progression skip as much as you'd like

soft quest
#

On the topic of game configs I want to see a boss damage slider but that’s about it.

I know calamity isn’t really supposed to keep in mind balance when mixed with other mods but I love stuff like calamity Fargo’s DLC, but the game got too easy because while I could make the bosses have x10 hp, I can’t make calamity bosses do more damage then they already had. Or it would be good for multiplayer balance

#

Also, I kind of wish the health slider went into below the 100% line, so that some dumb challenge runs are possible like “thorns only damage”

small timber
#

if the boss dont do enough damage then defense should be nerfed, tldr of it

#

which is kinda the case currently, defense is too good

#

it is hard to strike a balance between "tanky with investment" and "can't even achieve tankiness because tank build is too shit"

swift wharf
#

config is just a lazy fix

#

that won't fix anything

#

because configs aren't taken into balance

#

you can make it give 50x boss damage, but the boss is balanced for 1x damage

soft quest
swift wharf
#

ok but

#

config suggestion
