no

drowsy plank
#

but i mean
it could
luminite and gala sings are the only consistent thing between all of them

#

fr why is there not just some kind of miracle matter item for elemental weapons

swift wharf
#

then you could say solstice claymore is an ele weapon

errant cloud
#

Man something in me regrets returning and reading the stuff above taxevasion

#

I think it's the ecto vs living shards comparison xpc made

swift wharf
#

period

drowsy plank
#

fair

errant cloud
#

on a related note can we use meld blobs for more stuff CalOwO

#

feel like they're underused

#

Wait is that what they're called still

#

uh,

drowsy plank
#

u know considering every ele weapon needs luminite + all the fragments, why couldn't we just use exodium cluster. the item that is literally luminite + all of the fragments

frail mantle
#

meld blobs is the drop

glass arch
#

there was a meld blob furniture set suggestion that went through a while back iirc

frail mantle
#

meld construct is the "bar" you craft

errant cloud
#

wait ok I had to check because my mind was loopy and was trying to use memories from the old days

#

Where pillars dropped meld

#

But yeah current meld can we add more uses to it w

frail mantle
#

they still do

glass arch
#

pillar enemies still drop em

frail mantle
#

at least as far as i'm aware that hasn't changed

glass arch
#

not the pillars themselves iirc but its close enough

errant cloud
#

Oh wait you're right yea I forget what they look like

frail mantle
#

in fact i believe meld blobs used to drop from only nebula enemies

errant cloud
#

I don't remember that far back,

#

I just remember meld stuff is used for...minion or rogue armor sets I forget which

frail mantle
#

rogue armor and weapons for every class except summoner

drowsy plank
frail mantle
#

also a rogue accessory

errant cloud
#

Yea I just wanna see some more fleshed out stuff with da meld™️ because it's a nice concept and it feels like the devs shoved it aside to work on uh

swift wharf
#

anyways I don't think meld needs more things

errant cloud
#

Exodium

swift wharf
#

it's just rogue fragments

#

just work on exodium then

drowsy plank
#

that is not true exodium is just as much as mess as everything other ML tier crafting item lmaoooooo

#

me when im a post-ML ore that is used primarily for post-Polter crafting HDfailure

swift wharf
#

exodium is indeed wack

errant cloud
#

idk, exodium is amazing for aesthetic but mid at best for everything else

#

.w.

swift wharf
#

however meld has a big flaw

#

why do we craft meld into meld 2

frail mantle
#

refining

#

ig

swift wharf
#

where is solar 2

drowsy plank
#

that's just gala sings :)

errant cloud
#

...eclipse has a point

swift wharf
#

guh

errant cloud
swift wharf
#

society if meld constructs were just meld tiles

frail mantle
#

i think i saw a suggestion (or at least some mention) about making the blobs the actual material and the constructs the block in here at one point

drowsy plank
#

i think i remember seeing that and also seeing it fail bc no one ever votes for the good suggs

#

woohoo

errant cloud
#

Tbh that's fine if spriters were willing to do the thing and make a furn set LeviKek

#

Which is a hard sell

swift wharf
#

omw to sprite it myself

#

death of meld constructs

drowsy plank
#

wow i never realized the only thing blob does

#

is craft into construct

#

i swore it had at least a couple other uses

swift wharf
#

nope

drowsy plank
#

this really feels like old mod carry over stuff lmfao

swift wharf
#

it is

#

from meld bars to constructs

errant cloud
#

Yeah meld blobs have been around since...

#

Oh god I don't even remember

swift wharf
#

I think both blobs and bars always existed

errant cloud
#

I know I started playing in cryo and evils and they were in the mod five updates after that so

#

They've at least been around since vanilla 1.3

#

When the lunar events were added

drowsy plank
#

man i forget that cal use to just be a... mech bosses but harder mod. that was where the mod started lmfao

errant cloud
#

I actually feel like this is how it went down

#

So much emphasis was put on future content that some stuff like meldy was left behind for a proper rework CalOwO

drowsy plank
swift wharf
#

meld stuff is wack overall

errant cloud
#

Anyways brb for now

#

Had a rough week so gonna vibe on this bus w

drowsy plank
#

man looking through all the items added in 1.0 is

#

a trip

golden tulip
#

bruh

hot zephyr
#

No

swift wharf
#

Stopped reading at jetstream sam

alpine dawn
#

NPCMechanicShrug k

bright crag
#

Is this one allowed...? I remember it being mentioned in the rules

frosty trellis
#

It's not iirc

bright crag
#

Also, about Living Shards

#

Don't they have the purpose of making Terra Blade post-Plant? Since Calclone drops a Broken Hero Sword

alpine dawn
#

I don't see it in suggestion don'ts

frosty trellis
#

This wouldn't be the first time a Murasama change suggestion has been rejected

alpine dawn
#

I mean I still don't think it's perfect as is but whatever

#

*dont

frosty trellis
#

@hollow shell Might be a good idea to put anything revolving the Murasama as a Frequently asked suggestion don't

frosty trellis
#

The Only Thing I Know For Real exists there and it's fine

#

Adding another attack to the Murasama would also make it a balancing nightmare as it's currently balanced as is

alpine dawn
#

I mean it barely has the range to attack the bosses it's meant for (Besides Ares) but I'll still try Stars Above

frosty trellis
#

It can hit Thanatos
Exo twins suck but it's true melee, what did you expect
SCal you can hit her fairly well in the mobile phases (or just move back and forth to hit her easier) Brothers are the only real pain there

bright crag
#

Ok, it is allowed

#

And I don't really mind the suggestion, it has its motives

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

No wonder it's suggested often

frosty trellis
#

It's more just so many Murasama suggestions have been rejected already

alpine dawn
#

ok? lol

frosty trellis
#

So I thought it was just a don't as it gets flagged all the time

#

So yeah

grim tusk
frosty trellis
#

True

#

Just a lot more dangerous

#

Since new hellblast spreads my beloathed

#

I can true melee Exos all day
True Melee SCal? Brothers are far too BS for me to want to try that again

swift frigate
#

Isnt murasama a donator item? Iirc donator item suggestions are usually always rejected unless "owner" of that item is fine with changes or smth

alpine dawn
#

nope

frail mantle
#

it isn't

alpine dawn
#

i checked on the wiki

hollow shell
frosty trellis
#

Ah, icic

#

I was trying to find it in the doc but didn't see it

hollow shell
#

Just
CTRL-F Murasama

#

or Jetstream

#

To be fair this suggestion is more of a gameplay argument than a reference once

frosty trellis
#

Ah I couldn't control f since phone.

hollow shell
#

Doesn't cross the threshold into validity tho, imo

#

Phrasing it like the Jetstream Sam attack is "missing" from our wep

#

Needs to discuss more about why the current attack is underwhelming and why a secondary attack would improve it

frosty trellis
#

Yeah

#

I can see how the Murasama is boring but I personally do not see a problem with it at this moment in time

#

It has the unique trait of having the longest range for a True Melee Weapon in the mod which gives it some interesting things you can do with it

#

Regardless if you're playing true melee or not

hollow shell
#

I can easily see arguments for it being boring yeah
Just a continuous hitbox that you aim around

#

Arguable whether that's a good or bad thing in comparison to the other much more complex melee weps around that point

#

Sticks out in a good or bad way

cobalt otter
#

Okay so

#

Has literally anyone here ever tried brimrose staff

#

The dps is horrible and you can barely even aim it

stable kiln
#

yes, its not even that bad

frosty trellis
#

I world agree with it's removal as it's very unnecessary (I've used it, it sucks) and you already have an unholy cores mage weapon anyways

#

That is actually useful for making Rancor

stable kiln
#

the dps is not great but its really easy to aim, and pretty good for prime phase 1 too

cobalt otter
frosty trellis
#

53 second prime with tester gear XD

stable kiln
#

well yeah but if we only had 1 good class weapon per tier we would have like 40 weapons

frosty trellis
#

Yeah fair

cobalt otter
#

Better idea

frosty trellis
#

There are just... Other better options that are more unique and fun to use

cobalt otter
#

If the developers really like the idea of a brimstone flower weapon

frosty trellis
#

Belching Saxophone, Slithering Eels, Burning Sea and SHPC immediately come to mind

cobalt otter
#

Make it have larger beams? And have the splitting tree not be interrupted by blocks

#

Maybe it could linger a few more frames for potential extra hits

errant bobcat
#

Me personally, I prefer things being reworked rather than things being removed

#

Unless it’s an item that is completely unnecessary

#

Yes, item bloat, but it’s always nice to have a selection as well

frosty trellis
#

I mean we have an unholy core mage weapon and the Brimrose staff is... Really just not needing to exist

drowsy plank
#

dps being bad means nothing tbf, buffs exist, but i think the fact that brimrose staff overlaps with shadowbeam and burning sea is a much more compelling reason to axe it

frosty matrix
#

armored digger used to have a unique drop but it got axed for some reason

swift wharf
#

Did it?

frosty matrix
#

yes

#

draedon's remote

#

it was an item that spawned all 3 mechanical bosses with higher health

swift wharf
#

Ah
of course

frosty matrix
#

just for funsies

glass arch
#

didnt you also need 3 of em for universe splitter

hollow shell
#

@limber zealot Kinda confusing suggestion because you included two seemingly unrelated issues?

limber zealot
#

oh ye true

#

they are all related to ramming so i figured i would put 2 of them together

half sage
#

iirc the last time it was mentioned it was said COTG can't be made to not trigger on dodge since damage calc happen before dodge calcs

frosty trellis
#

So Zord wants the polterghast effect to die? I'm all for it

plain river
#

i died at 3.7% because he overshot and it delayed the dash

#

that shits just

#

not fun

#

and bullshit

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

thin hill
#

That dash delay is such bullshit

small timber
#

What if just make the movement by which polter use to move to dash position really fast and kinda adjust its MS to match screen position?

#

Aka: Ares style

I completely disagree with teleporting since it remove a very important telegraph to majority of the fight

plain river
#

It wouldn't be removing a telegraph, it would replace it with a new one.

frosty trellis
#

I presume with the teleport it would be a delay after the teleport ends until polter dashes

plain river
#

Yes, I believe I said that in the suggestion

#

Enough time to react but not much more

#

You could reduce the in between time as the fight progresses as well

frosty trellis
small timber
#

Yes, but the player perceive the movement very differently from fluent movement or a straight teleportstion

As in their brain

frosty trellis
#

That would basically require reworking polters movement entirely

#

To make work

plain river
small timber
#

Teleportation make it much more reaction based eventhough a delay comes with it

plain river
#

The fight's already mostly reaction based

frosty trellis
#

Yeah

small timber
#

So I think using Ares movement + a delay is better than teleport + delay

plain river
#

It kind of already does that, though

#

And it wouldn't get rid of the variance, it'd just make it take less time to dash

small timber
#

The main thing is currently when polter does it it is not "rigid" enough once it get to dashing position, which leads to the polterghast effect

#

Ares on the other hand is super rigid unless you fly with drew wings at extreme speed, which is not happening in dungeon arena anyway with pre-DoG gear

plain river
#

Really I guess either of these could work

#

I like the idea of a teleporting phantasm, though. I'm surprised it doesn't do that already

swift wharf
#

Killing all inertia could also work

#

So polter wouldn't drift like a racing car

plain river
#

I think that could be what xpc's talking about

swift wharf
#

Yeye

frosty trellis
plain river
#

That'd help, yeah, but getting there is part of the problem as well

#

Polter can it's sweet time making its way there, overshooting it is simply a common side effect

small timber
plain river
#

sounds to me like u just suck with hooks-

frosty trellis
#

And it kept me there for a good enough duration

#

It's 152 mph c.tracers flight + bobbit launch

small timber
#

Doing it once is easy, but doing it for 20 seconds straight? The entire fight?

frosty trellis
#

It's not in 20 second invervals
But I bobbit launched a fair bit during that clear

#

I have the video of it as well

#

It was only 3-4 second I believe until I had to re-position but yeah

#

Since Ares adjusts after a bit

small timber
#

Which is what I mean by hooking is less easy than pressing space, you dont have to prove everything as soon as somewhat said something that might be mildly incorrect

frosty trellis
#

Sorry

#

Definitely easier to just press space yeah

small timber
#

What I said there was not "hook is useless compare to wings", just "it is harder to use"

#

Yeah

frosty trellis
#

Yeah that makes more sense

#

I misread that then

#

I thought you said that didn't work but yeah

#

Now reading back

#

That's on me

small timber
#

Its fine, though I think mainly is just bobbit is post polter so I thought it should work

#

I dont remember other movement tool that misplace the player drastically at that point except momentum capacitor (in underground) or movement weapon like old lord oathsword or phospo gauntlet

frosty trellis
#

Relic of Deliverance?

small timber
#

Oh right that thing exist
Though do people really use it? Dont really seen it being brought up often

frosty trellis
#

I dunno. I haven't I just know it exists and is a movement tool

slow lodge
frosty trellis
#

That's more just momentum capacitor needs a nerf more than anything LOL

cobalt pewter
#

wouldn't the stalling still create timing issues? unless you're saying it will dash anyways regardless of its position after that time

#

I think it just needs a check once it passed a legible position for dashing and give a visual indicator before forcing a dash

slow lodge
#

most ive seen is like 200 mph which is way too high

cobalt trail
#

The momentum capacitor feels so useful, i was able to beat moonlord using it despite me being bad at the game

hollow shell
#

Playing summoner? Or switching items frequently

cobalt trail
#

summoner, im not good enough at the game to switch items a lot

hollow shell
#

Fair enoguh

cobalt trail
#

i just ran away as the terraprisma killed him

hollow shell
#

Ahh, Terraprisma, that makes even more sense...

candid grove
#

summoner + items that are balanced around switching best combo

#

relic of convergence is huge save

frosty trellis
hollow shell
#

Terraprisma has a different reputation
I don't know if it's deserved anymore but for the longest time it was not even balanced for being a normal drop

frosty trellis
#

Prisma is death until providence and then it's bad

cobalt trail
#

idk what is and isn't good, i just used it since in normal terraria its good, and im terrible at video games so i need every advantage i can get

frosty trellis
#

Moonlord and providence are 4 minute fights as a reminder

cobalt pewter
#

momentum capacitor being dumb is like

known no?

idk if anything will change abt it

swift wharf
#

something something slingshot

drowsy plank
#

im pretty sure there are plans for momentum capcitor, not sure what they are, but they exist

lucid flare
#

replying to my own message from yesterday but if living shards get Axed they could just as easily use perennial bars for the shit it was crafted with much like what happened with frigid & cryonic bars

drowsy plank
#

holy shit lois perennial is finally useful??

lucid flare
#

they did it once they can do it again rollface

spring saffron
#

Perennial and living shards have no reason to coexist but living shards would be better to stay because perennial is just chlorophyte but slightly more

#

Removing one and replacing it with the other fixes a lot

glass arch
#

honestly yeah

lucid flare
spring saffron
#

Life alloys with living shards makes so much more sense lmao

#

Hot and cold mixed together with pure life it just makes sense than another stupid rock

glass arch
#

true, that actually makes it living rather than having a bar with a flower on it in the recipe

inner anvil
#

Sorry, we already have big plans for perennial, so it ain't getting removed.

#

Well, 'Big', enough to not be removed.

spring saffron
#

As long as it doesn't remain redundant I'm happy

glass arch
#

yeah

inner anvil
#

IDK, they're there.

lucid flare
#

what if they were not there instead

chrome wyvern
#

perennial good

inner anvil
#

I'm not the person you should ask that.

chrome wyvern
#

mobility reaver my beloved

inner anvil
#

Tank Reaver my beloved.

cobalt trail
#

perennial feels and looks cool

lucid flare
#

Build Reaver my beloved.

glass arch
#

i havent ever used reaver tbh, i just forget it exists

chrome wyvern
#

the reaver armor sets are extremely cool

spring saffron
#

I'm sure I've used reaver like once but the only time I've stopped going all glass cannon for my builds is lategame infernum

inner anvil
cobalt trail
#

armor/weapons with flowers and plants on them was the best idea ever

drowsy plank
#

perrenial > living shards, just make the method of obtain perrenial more interesting lmao

inner anvil
#

just make the method of obtain perrenial more interesting lmao
About that.

#

Smiley face. (Edit: missinformation).

lucid flare
inner anvil
#

I don't know when we'll add it, I would need to ask, but seems done from last time I saw (Edit: missinformation).

drowsy plank
#

🙏

spring saffron
#

here's my suggestion fix the balance thread to not be capitalized so it fits with everything else

#

I just noticed that and now it makes me mad

inner anvil
small timber
#

if other people disagree they can simply just say no alcohols is not too strong, just like you did

inner anvil
#

He refers to the name of the thread.

small timber
#

oh, yeah my bad

cobalt pewter
#

threads defy rules of channels

inner anvil
drowsy plank
#

lmfaoooooooo

small timber
#

perennial now drops from plantera

lucid flare
#

got damn

sinful violet
#

oops

swift wharf
#

chloro is now post plant

dusty stirrup
#

Lol

hollow shell
#

@oblique geyser Should probably call them Soul Seekers, their full name
And mention in the title that you mean during the Supreme Calamitas fight

Anyone without context would be very confused by your title, especially because the Calamitas Clone fight also features Soul Seekers

#

Thank you realwegud

drowsy plank
#

tbf if it happens in both fights id say it would be applicable for both, but that should also be specified if that is the case

serene tendon
#

Living Shards are cool

lucid flare
drowsy plank
#

they suck

swift wharf
#

cringe suggestion can we il edit terra toilet out

drowsy plank
#

lmaoooooo

serene tendon
hollow shell
#

Do we edit the Terra Blade recipe to include Living Shards?

serene tendon
#

It does already

drowsy plank
#

we should undo that

hollow shell
#

Okay yes I see, we do

#

You should include that in your suggestion instead of just saying "It's been basically confirmed at this point" " I like this, and it makes sense. " which are both incredibly subjective statements

serene tendon
#

Why are you and Eclipse out for blood against living shards, exactly, @drowsy plank ?

drowsy plank
#

because they're pointless??

#

they're just ectoplasm but worse

swift wharf
#

redundant material n 53

drowsy plank
#

as well as giving a boss that didn't need a material drop a material drop. they're basically just bloat from old mod content

serene tendon
swift wharf
#

post plantera material hell

#

kill terra weapons XD

#

anyways post plant materials are really wack

serene tendon
#

It's necessary for balance reasons, and gives an actual reason why terra weapons are green

swift wharf
#

or just make terra shit use cores of calamity

hollow shell
#

Living Shards are a lazy way of allowing any recipe to be suitably Terra themed

Instead of adding Broken Hero equivalents with their own obtainment sources, which could have been an opportunity for creativity and getting players to do things they wouldn't normally do,
they just gave it to the already heavily important boss and is another source of repeated boss farming

swift wharf
#

that

serene tendon
#

Also, Life Fruit recipe

swift wharf
#

ectoplasm

serene tendon
#

why

#

that makes no sense

swift wharf
#

i mean

#

does it have to

drowsy plank
serene tendon
#

why would you put the souls of ghosts into a fruit

swift wharf
#

living shards don't make sense wither

#

either*

serene tendon
swift wharf
#

it's not about theming it's about redundancy

drowsy plank
#

yeah which is something we can change

#

because we broke it

swift wharf
#

maybe we should add an material to each item

drowsy plank
#

just remove hero sword from cal clone it makes 0 sense anyway

swift wharf
#

or dont

drowsy plank
#

that also works

hollow shell
#

Or don't because it takes something away from Plantera and god knows she needs that HDFailure

swift wharf
#

they're the same tier

serene tendon
drowsy plank
swift wharf
#

true true

drowsy plank
#

like personally i preferred when it didnt take living shards since cal felt like an actual alt instead of just

#

some rando

#

she should be important anyway

serene tendon
drowsy plank
#

no she isnt

#

cal and plant are the same tier

swift wharf
#

they're the same tier

#

skul

drowsy plank
#

just like scal and exos lmao

hollow shell
#

How do you put two bosses on the same tier in a linear progression list?

drowsy plank
#

^

swift wharf
#

put them in the same slot, ofc

hollow shell
#

Our only other option is putting her post-Plant on that list

#

It's completely binary

swift wharf
#

you, however, are not

hollow shell
#

the funny

serene tendon
drowsy plank
#

cal triggers post Plant dungeon when HDfailure

serene tendon
#

Plant is way harder

drowsy plank
#

aka doesnt matter lul

serene tendon
hollow shell
#

We made Cal grant the Abyss drop instead of Cal/Plant, in order to make her comparable to Plant in terms of unlocks

swift wharf
#

or cal could trigger the abyss, and plant just the dungeon

#

oh fu

#

it does that already

hollow shell
#

Technically Plant doesn't even unlock the Temple anymore because key recipe

swift wharf
#

so plant just unlocks dungeon and perennial?

#

and some post plant drops from enemies ig

serene tendon
hollow shell
#

and Cyborg and Shroomite and Solar Eclipse

#

and I can't remember if we make Prismatic Lacewings spawn pre-Plant already

swift wharf
#

byeah kill living shards

serene tendon
drowsy plank
#

only cause we spam ecto in everything

#

which loops back to shards being useless

#

lmao

serene tendon
hollow shell
swift wharf
#

no they don't

#

terra blade never needed living shards

hollow shell
#

.

swift wharf
#

yea

hollow shell
#

my "theory" I guess

drowsy plank
swift wharf
#

and it's green cuz of t night edge

hollow shell
drowsy plank
#

ah

serene tendon
drowsy plank
#

they should die

hollow shell
#

I have an idea

serene tendon
#

Why?

hollow shell
#

Stop talking about this

#

There's already a suggestion to remove Living Shards in voting

#

Vote on it if you agree and don't if you don't

swift wharf
#

that reminds me

#

I need to suggest the removal of terra flameburster

serene tendon
drowsy plank
#

eld melter enjoyers when terra flameburster finally dies BrimSmug

swift wharf
#

because elf melter exists

#

and it's cooler

serene tendon
swift wharf
#

no

#

instant upgrade moment

#

even worse

drowsy plank
#

also this is improving them, gives weapons stronger niches instead of 18 taking the same place on the same tier

#

imagine if instead of being half-heartedly shoved into terra tier we got an actual cursed flames flamethrower

swift wharf
#

what if we used the vanilla weapon

#

!!

serene tendon
#

Well then, it shouldn't be too hard to give Elf Melter and Terra Flamebuster (if only slightly) different uses. Saying the 2 can't exist together in peace is like saying Venus Magnum and Chain Gun can't

swift wharf
#

except that they are literally the same

drowsy plank
#

i would kill venus magnum if given the chance. at least it got high speed bullets so that's

#

something

swift wharf
#

while chain gun is different than venus magnum

serene tendon
swift wharf
#

and magnum got buffed in 1.4.4

#

but removing is easier

#

they could've reworked terra edge

#

but they removed because it is easier and better

serene tendon
drowsy plank
#

into what??

serene tendon
swift wharf
#

my brother in christ we don't need terra blade two

hollow shell
#

mmm yes I love deflating the significance of a vanilla item by adding another nearly identical one right next to it for basically no reason other than an incredibly minor sense of "variety" for an already incredibly bloated class at that tier mmmm yes

drowsy plank
swift wharf
#

In the attempt of adding variety

I am killing it

blazing kettle
#

keeping the lazer for when 1.4.4 on tmod drops ofc

serene tendon
drowsy plank
#

yes i am asking you

#

what would they even turn it into

swift wharf
#

another melee weapon tm

hollow shell
#

A true melee weapon is the obvious answer

serene tendon
#

It could be given a more single target focused use, whereas Terra Blade is easier to use and better for crowd control

swift wharf
#

clearly post plant needs more of those

drowsy plank
swift wharf
#

anyways crimson variants of night weapons are a flawed concept

#

terra edge should've never existed

drowsy plank
swift wharf
#

tyrant's ultisword

#

ark upgrade

#

list goes on

serene tendon
drowsy plank
#

nah

swift wharf
#

nights edge isn't even corruption themed

drowsy plank
swift wharf
#

and this is assuming that tblade isn't good for single targets

serene tendon
swift wharf
#

(it is)

hollow shell
#

my favorite melee weapon "list goes on"

serene tendon
drowsy plank
#

i will make list goes on real

swift wharf
hollow shell
swift wharf
#

we should have a jungle nights edge

drowsy plank
swift wharf
#

and a fire nights edge

#

😊

frail mantle
#

purple != corruption themed

drowsy plank
#

night's edge is like dark lance

frail mantle
#

night's edge is very specifically Not corruption themed

drowsy plank
#

hence why dark lance is used in terra lance

#

lmao

serene tendon
frail mantle
#

if it was, the vanilla devs would've added a crimson variant in 1.2 themselves

drowsy plank
swift wharf
#

bloody edge isn't real therefore night != corruption

serene tendon
swift wharf
#

why

#

is it for the sake of it

drowsy plank
#

terra blade is a crimson weapon you can make it with blood butcher...

swift wharf
#

there was nothing to fix lmao

hollow shell
# frail mantle night's edge is very specifically Not corruption themed

(Night's Edge is ostensibly Corruption themed due to being added in a time when the Crimson did not exist. At the very least it is related to the theme.
It is purple, themed around darkness and night (a la "Light's Bane" and "Waraxe of the Night", True Night's Edge has a bright green projectile much like Cursed Flames.

It does have a degree of separation though, much like Hallowed Bars are not explicitly Hallow-biome themed, but the two serve the purpose of Light/Dark clash much like the Hallow and Evil biomes. True Excalibur takes on the pink and blue colors of the Hallow)

swift wharf
#

evil themed 😈

frail mantle
#

night's edge isn't corruption themed because souls of night exist and aren't corruption exclusive

drowsy plank
#

is it fair to say that's been retconned considering the shadow weapons exist

blazing kettle
#

the terrablade is like a weapon of harmony

swift wharf
#

maybe we should add crimson and terra variations of all night weapons

blazing kettle

if that males sense at all

swift wharf

including daedalus

both exist i believe

swift wharf

Anyways you are all wrong

#

Night's edge is slime god themed

#

because it uses purified gel

drowsy plank
frail mantle
#

true

hollow shell
#

You're so fucking right

blazing kettle
#

and slime god becomes goozma, and goozma is noxus, and noxus is purple

swift wharf
#

AND SLIME GOD

#

IS CRIMSON AND CORRUPTION

hollow shell
#

"Purified Gel gives the Night's weapons their darkness theme, it makes no sense to remove them"

swift wharf
#

SO NIGHTS EDGE IS NIGHT THEMED AND NOT CORRUPTION

hollow shell
#

Sorry I am becoming antagonistic as a result of this long argument

lucid flare

they should put purified gel in the eye of night/flesh of infidelity recipes

serene tendon

so true actually

swift wharf

#

since bloody edge is going 2 brazil we should throw the "crimson" night variants there as well

swift wharf
#

but flesh of infidelity is actually cool can we just move it Boowomp

drowsy plank

#

crimson gets more because ots the harder evil of course

swift wharf

so like maybe every weapon doesnt need a variant

yes

are hornets stronger than imps i do not know what the balancing is on those mfs

i think imps are better

despite, being technically on a lower tier

calamity would run better if it didn't have midblade of piss 4 and its 80 siblings instead of, yknow,having them

drowsy plank
#

it's okay you can say devestation

lucid flare
#

i was thinking of devastation but its line is getting reworked

swift wharf
#

devastation should die

#

just this thing not the line

drowsy plank
#

nah i think catastrophe and celestial claymore should also die
but devil's devaststion can stay it was always more of an upgrade to the other sword anyway lol

swift wharf
#

yea

#

it probably will die when everything gets reworked

lucid flare
#

forbidden oathblade??

swift wharf
#

ja

hollow shell
lucid flare
#

:(

#

does that mean it stays

drowsy plank
#

i know they basically kind of confirmed that dev's line is dead but is devil's dev getting killed too and being replaced with a new oathblade upgrade or? would kinda suck if the line just died

swift wharf

dev plans more like villain plans

i have a lore idea for deerclops (item for him). It could just state "A being from another world brought here by accident, yet he fit in well. Unfortunately he wasn't of much use."

I love how one suggestion that is approved is removing living shards and a new posted one that isn't approved yet is giving living shards another recipe to be in

drowsy plank
#

it's bc rather than trying to make the item consistent you could just remove it and replace it with something better

#

like how someone mentioned just

#

using perennial bars instead of living shards

crude geode
#

Perennial bars my beloathed

drowsy plank
#

still better than living shards plus i doubt they're dying anytime soon bc life alloy be like

crude geode
#

Just because a material is better than quite possibly the worst material in the mod doesn’t make it good

drowsy plank
#

i mean i dont like the third plant based ore as much as the next person but at least replacing living shards is a decent enough first step

small timber
#

time to replace perennial bars craft with chlorophyte + this, and use this to replace all living shards

drowsy plank
#

lol what if perennial was like, a seed dropped by plantera and you had to grow it like gemcorns

crude geode
#

Jungle already rivals fire and frost for related weapons tbh

drowsy plank
#

fair ig

#

doesnt help that vanilla puts so much in jungle either

is that actually how AS works rn?

that's weird

but it's so cool when it does that

is is still a reversion don't if the feature only existed in uh

version 1.0.4

bc cal used to scale all the enemies and bosses but it was

Very Bad

crude geode
#

I wanna say yes just to get this sugg ❗

small timber
#

if their HP are boosted they will still be reduced to Atom

#

unless you are boosting them by 100% per tier which will just make challenge runs impossibly painful while do absolutely nothing in a normal playthrough

drowsy plank
#

also to be fair

#

enemies ARE scaled post ML a little

small timber
#

no one cares if your green slime has 500HP or 5000 HP

blazing kettle
#

grrrr this suggestion doesnt have proper punctuation

swift wharf
#

enemies won't do much even if they have 50k hp

#

it will just make farming annoying for example

small timber
#

unless you scale green slime damage too to be equivalent to Master FTW Giant Tortoise charge damage by which the question is "WHY"

swift wharf
#

at this point just play master tbh

drowsy plank
#

it's not like cal doesn't add assholes enemies to deal with anyway

#

true!!

#

looking at literally every profaned enemy ever

swift wharf
#

or nerf yourself

😌

blazing kettle

just add one bs enemy to every biome, like a scorn eater for every biome

someone remind me to ping rover about this if it isn't flagged by tomorrow lmao

blazing kettle

isnt saying stuff like "self explainitory" a dont

drowsy plank
#

yeah

crude geode
#

@dapper coral "self explanatory" sugg

dapper coral
#

hm

#

@unreal orbit try not to use "self explanatory" in your suggestions, even if it might seem obvious you should spell it out for the reader

drowsy plank
#

i mean
we also. DO have enemy scaling already

#

so im not sure what this is asking for

lavish condor
#

Doesn't Cal remove it?

drowsy plank
#

no?

#

not expert scaling, it nerfs it a bit sure, but it's mostly just bees having like 300 damage or something

lavish condor
#

Ah read the changelogs a while back and thought it was completely removed

dapper coral
#

mm

#

okay so thats better, i think you can get rid of the "just a thought" as wel, and also provide a little reasoning for the boss scaling thing, and then we should be good to go

royal tapir
unreal orbit
#

maybe boost defensive values too

lavish condor
#

I do feel like the between-bosses part of the game in Cal is made near completely trivial in all stages pre-ML

neat.

frosty trellis
#

Yeah

hollow shell
#

Yeah sorry that's what I meant too, worded it poorly

cobalt pewter

the other slime mounts might need to be looked at first before bean can be properly changed ig

#

slime is useful the entire god damn game

small timber
#

Doesnt susjelly alresdy jump higher or something?

frosty trellis
#

Bean currently just sucks after the nerf because it's only use is falling faster while getting to the lower layers of the abyss
I just use saddle otherwise

frosty trellis
small timber

Oh right when it is gotten now, just aureus?

drowsy plank

i also use saddle but you can also just use the 's' key lmfao

frosty trellis
# frosty trellis Literally

I just bonked one of ares's weapons while doing an enforcer only exos fight and accidentally iframe bonked through a blender beam

S key have capped fall speed so slime mount still have its purpose

frosty trellis
frosty trellis
small timber

Make it have higher ground walking speed

Therr boom immediately usable

you can go down with slime faster than anything else in the game

with little to no hitbox change

while bean fattens you up

#

TRUE

LITERALLY

#

Unicorn mount getting nerfed in 2.0 saddens me so much

crude geode
#

buff other mounts instead of making the like 2 useful ones useless

small timber
#

Just make ninja armor not shit

#

The slime immune or whatever do have its niche if you get it before exploring jungle since it make you immune to jungle spike slime

cobalt pewter
#

I don't mind mount buffs but

the slime type mounts killed any variety in having fall speed equipment in a normal* loadout

*shut up fallgodders

small timber
#

Ninja armor is literally use tin greaves and you get half the armor set bonus

cobalt pewter
#

ninja armor buff would be nice

drowsy plank
#

i mean there's three of them and also like. what other fall speed equipment is there

crude geode
#

(sabaton will not be great if we nerf everything else)

drowsy plank
#

can someone please tell me what other fall speed items there are besides mounts and sabaton

small timber
#

Or normality relocator and exoblade but yeah they are way further

Portal gun hold too I guess

crude geode
#

exo blade as a fall item

small timber
#

Exo blade makes you fall faster/same speed as slime mount if you hit with the dash

#

Keyword: hit

#

And the boss you use it against is scal

crude geode
#

I just like you putting an endgame massive crafting tree weapon on the same tier as

portal gun

small timber
#

Just make gravity globe have free up/fall speed at the expense of wing flight time instead of its garbage gravity flip effect

crude geode
#

are we just talking about bad accessories now

drowsy plank
#

we always are you just dont realize it

crude geode
#

trueeee

#

but back to the original sugg, yeah current sussy slime mount is kinda. pointless

small timber
#

what if give suspicious jelly bean a random useless effect to distinguish it
like, press S to hover

drowsy plank
#

honestly if it was just made the same size as the other mounts it'd be fine

small timber
#

oh wait pilton did it already

drowsy plank
#

i think functioning in water is a perfectly distinguishable trait considering it's based on a water type mon anyway, unless you wanna give it a thorns effect too, but at this point we're just slapping dinky effects on it to call it something else

#

frankly the only issue bean has is being bigger for no reason. we already have like 8 different horse mounts that are almost identical so like

unreal orbit
#

whats wrong with my suggestion?

drowsy plank
#

im getting mixed responses but im 99% sure enemies already scale at the beginning of hardmode and post-ML respectively

#

and if they don't, then they did previously which would make it a reversion suggestion which would break the rules anyway lmao

#

if ur curious i mean

small timber
#

as stated, no one care if green slime have 500 or 5000 or 50000 hp

unreal orbit
#

but how was he able to put ❗ He's not a admin

#

well i mean it does have an explination now but id like to point out we already have this regardless

#

small timber
#

bug I think maybe

unreal orbit
#

why did you put an explanation mark on it you're not an admin

small timber

but yeah the ! should had been put by an admin I assume

drowsy plank
#

oh my god wait did someone else react to it but when it was removed it didnt remove his

crude geode
#

most likely yes

drowsy plank
#

that's so fucking funny

small timber
#

or something like packet loss and when the ! was removed scorn clicked it at the sametime

unreal orbit
#

@dapper coral sorry for the Ping but someone who is not an admin reacted to my message with an ❗

if scorn didn't end up removing it I think just repost the suggestion, might be faster

i didnt even know that was possible

ok well i killed it

they werent on the react list when i removed thtem all the first time Thinkies

@hollow shell @inland saddle

#

check above, seems like the old functionality where normal users could not react to suggs at all was not implemented with nycros bot

inland saddle
#

They should only be able to add reactions that already exist

dapper coral
#

right, thats what they can do right now

cobalt pewter
#

yeah in this case demik originally reacted, and some others joined it

and after the sugg person changed their sugg, demik removed theirs but other reactions were still there

dapper coral
#

previously they could not add them ever

small timber
dapper coral
#

like, if they reacted on top of a mod react, it was auto removed

small timber
#

oh

inland saddle
#

Oh I was unaware that was a thing

#

But it’s easily addable

hollow shell
#

That shouldn't matter at all though

dapper coral
#

i think that was a thing

#

its been a couple years

inland saddle
#

There should be a button to remove all of a certain reaction I think

#

So it shouldn’t really matter

hollow shell
#

Who cares if a sugg has 1 exclam or 200 exclams, if the bot is only checking for whether the reaction is on there at all

inland saddle
#

Adding more !’s doesn’t change anything yeah

dapper coral
#

right, but then if a packet whatever issue occurs like it did today then someone's sugg gets restricted for no reason

#

thats what im referring to

inland saddle
#

Interesting

#

Is there a button to remove all reactions of a certain type?

dapper coral
#

yea

#

er, wait. i dont know if its for a certain type or ALL of them

inland saddle
#

Using that should prevent any shenanigans from happening because it sends everything to discord to handle

#

Uhhhh

dapper coral
#

okay nope just checked its for all of them

inland saddle
#

Try using it on desolate

#

I think there are 2 buttons

#

Maybe?

#

Idk lol

dapper coral
#

non

inland saddle
#

Okay I suppose I can add it in lol

dapper coral
#

not seeing any other option other than to manually delete them

#

its not like high priority at all lol

inland saddle
#

I know discord bots can do it so I figured it might exist for users too

dapper coral
#

but its just a thing to prevent that hopefully-rare occurrence

inland saddle
#

But it will only take like 5 seconds to add to the bot it’s not a big deal at all lol

dapper coral
#

ty

drowsy plank
#

why not just restrict non-mods to not be able to react in that channel

inland saddle
#

Discord limitation

drowsy plank
#

it's not like we need to be able to lmao

dapper coral
#

i think theres a weird perm thing yeah

inland saddle
#

Users already can’t create new reactions

#

We can’t prevent them from adding already existing reactions

ashen warren
#

cant you just remove all reactions on the message when you unexclaim

drowsy plank
#

oh wait right, but you can always add on

inland saddle
#

Wait

#

LOL

drowsy plank
#

forgot about that

inland saddle
#

I mean there’s 🗜️

#

But the bot handles that one entirely by itself

ashen warren
#

ye

inland saddle
#

Even if it gets removed the bot will add it back

ashen warren
#

thats what i do with infermains suggestions when (un)exclaiming them

dapper coral
#

no thats what i did

#

99 times out of 100 it should work that way

#

but on the off chance that discord does a stupid and lets someone react at the moment that i get rid of them, it doesnt show up on my end because i got rid of htem but its still there

inland saddle

i love this platform
