Yeah, but the explosion is meant to last 2 seconds or so
To not take away the fast paced nature of the fight
thats plenty of time to read a small text of dialogue
yeah exo mechs is a very no-downtime kinda fight
autopause users:
Yeah, but then it's gonna be weird for Draedon to come in mid explosion
I don't really have any trouble reading the dialogue mid fight tbh, and if anything a player just skimming through it quickly is enough
or maybe even just
reading the dialogue after the fight
i mean it's still gonna be there unless you have a mod that clears the chat for some reason
Yeah
wats the point of having dialogue mid fight if a player is just gonna skip over it
might as well put it at the end since theres gonna be no solution to it
now i'm mad
discord shit itself now we're gonna have to endure frost barrier in the mod for longer
In general to give the fight proggression and a sense of familiarity with the Boss
10 minutes, what a calamity
this
see that's the issue
client side fuckery?
it looks like it's on 80 (or in my case, 90) now but if u refresh it it's probably gonna be at 12 or something
my magnum opus, gone just like that
oh yea theres been some client side fuckery
the elemental accessories one got +20 more votes
oh well most people here already agree that frost barrier only serves to be Bad and Grinding Bloat so maybe the devs will bring it up to dev server and it will be rightfully annihilated (manifesting , i hate this stupid accessory)
if i get acknowledged as the frost barrier's biggest hater, then that is a badge to keep
any and everything frost does could be move to aquatic heart and cryo stone without issue
cryostone will have issue, it is functionally not similar and you can just not want that effect (trust me there are people who don't want that effect especially contact boss because it ruin timing especially valor/aegis)
aquatic heart can replace but just, dont fit
what I mean is my as well just remove the effect
most of the time this effect (beyond literally pre-boss, which require travelling merchant to begin with), an effect that freezes an enemy on top of you chances are will just cause you to take extra hit
aquatic heart is just frost barrier but better, might i say, good
eg: if yharon freeze on top of you it just make you stay in hitbox for more seconds
small issue
so it is just useless
yes!!! it is!!!
(although in my suggestion i did mention it was a... "crowd control accessory"
why do we need crowd control accessories in auric tesla armor
even the post-devourer buffed events can be handled on tier pretty nicely
but 4 defense bro..,.,.
The benevolence!
that makes it more useful than;;;;;;;shackle (3 defense)
in pre-HM it is legit useful because it completely stop normal enemy from chain hitting you with contact
keyword: just get it from your first travelling merchant on day 2 and have enough gold to buy it
TravMerchant% speedrun
Make it crafted from like Ice Blocks, Boreal Wood, and Iron Bars
No Boreal Wood
make it drop from ice slimes idk
It's just gonna be a thing made out of ice
Like Ruffian is an armor that's just made out of snow and fur
My favorite "warm coat with water pockets inside"
wait yo drop from spiked ice slime ez
Gives a reason to kill those damn things, I'd be for that
it even makes sense thematically bc it releases a """burst""" of ice when hit
kinda like the slimes
yknow what that would be super based
i mean the only reason i hate F-barrier anyway is because you either have to depend on the luck of traveling merchant selling you The Thing (and you having enough money to buy one, or enough if you're on multi)
or grinding for a rare frop of an uncommon enemy
which is also in hardmode 
ture
you know, when it's no longer useful
Tf is a frost barrier
The Frost Barrier is a Pre-Hardmode accessory that can be purchased from the Traveling Merchant during a Full Moon or can be obtained from Ice Claspers. It is used to create the Auric Tesla Body Armor.
This piece of garbage that you need for auric armor
Its an accessory that gives you 4 defense, immune to the chilled debuff, and inflicting glacial state on anything that contacts you
I love accessories who's only purpose is to make something else!!!
woohoo!
I used Frost Barrier a grand total of once, just when I had nothing else to put in the slot
Even then I think it got replaced quickly
(Glacial State pulse on hit is actually a good effect early game 🥺 )
It doesn't just affect the enemies that hit you, it's a whole radius around you that gets frozen if you take damage
It's quite good, yeah
Especially for bosses that have a lot of minions, like Queen Bee and Hive Mind
yeah but you also gotta wait for traveling merchant and theres always the chance that you dont get the traveling merchant on a full moon
It's really only good in pre-Hardmode, but it's treated as Hardmode due to being dropped by a Hardmode enemy
and then the only way to get it aside from that is to farm a rare hardmode enemy
actually it does
Well then the wiki is wrong
Ahh so it's irrelevant, I forgot
bosses just have a built in resist to freeze effects
Wiki has this for 1.5
However it does not yet have the changes leading up to the current update
I don't know if it's been reverted since then
Time for Testing
If the sale price was reduced, and/or the Traveling Merchant sold it more frequently, it might be fine
That wiki page really needs updating by the way
I'll search the wiki for anything about that
I'll bring that up elsewhere
Imma test it rq
"Both the range and duration of the Glacial State debuff are based on the damage the player took when the effect activated."
[doesn't elaborate or provide any numbers]
And the boss thing is only mentioned in the History section, nowhere in the actual page space
I have the most recent source I can literally just check these facts myself
I looked, and the effect hasn't been mentioned to be reverted
If it has, then the wiki is wrong somewhere
Your phrasing is important here
Does it also not work on normal enemies and/or boss minions while a boss is alive?
Or does it only not work on the bosses themselves?
Ok
I checked on EOC and neither it nor the small eyes triggered the freeze
could we just
remove frost barrier? it has an incredibly annoying obtainment method and barely does anything outside of being added to auric tesla armour
I think Frost Barrier would be fine, if it wasn't part of Auric
I think that it has potential. I would rather it get removed from Auric so it can stand better on its own, maybe go into an upgrade line more relevant to its effect
Combine it with either on hit effects or frost related accessories
Those are the only two sets of accessories that it'd fit in, methinks
It's 5 gold now
(dunno if it was ever not 5 gold)
Actually hang on
No, both 20 and the wiki's 5 are wrong
It's 12
lol
Wiki is funny sometimes
I only remembered I needed roughly "a lot" (around 20) but yeah
which is why I wrote 20
TIL (but unsurprised) that
The glacial state affliction aura effect is exactly the same as the one from Aquatic Heart aka Siren's Heart. It is literally an "OR" in the code
i want to suggest to add it to rampart (theming kinda fits i guess) but rampart Does Not Need More Shit Added To The Fire
So it's literally just Aquatic Heart 2
Aquatic Heart 0.5
Do not
Rampart is broken enough as is
(Frost Barrier is the original one actually)
Huh
i did say it doesnt need more shit added to the fire
I know this because I was around when Siren's Heart was added, but Frost Barrier was already in the game by the time I joined
also what is cog cooking
In fact I remembered just now that I fucking animated the original Siren's Heart player model
Aquatic Heart is one of the better "transformation" accessories I've seen
isnt that suggestion will just conflict with the remove frost barrier suggestion
yes
(though tbh 19 votes is like, unlikely to happen)
it's not like we haven't done that before tho
yeah it got kinda fucked by the random discord reset so i wanted to throw my hat into the ring on fixing it
i think this is a better way anyway
if an accessory sucks just move that shit there are plenty of places that need em
I welcome it
(Don't point out that I've voted for it, I don't want to remove a vote)
Of course it only has 19 votes lol
it had 40, discord reset them
functional application
it even removed suggestion bot's react

So you're saying that if everyone removed their votes we could break the suggestion
(Don't)
that would require a lot of people who dont talk here often anyway
It probably wouldn't do anything, because Suggestion Bot's code is probably something like:
Does suggestion have 0 reactions? If so, add ⭐. If not, do nothing
Oh that's terrible
It is really bad that that's a possibility
So the actual amount would be somewhere around 50?
still
i kinda want to know
idk if it reset all of them
If that happens to a really successful suggestion, then that'd be really bad
since sugg bot's isnt there anymore
Oh, there we go!
It's back
The votes are back, and it's up to 97
Discord is a truly flawless piece of software 
functional webbed site

what the fuck is going on with this sugg specifically
It seems like you need to restart Discord
ive seen this happen on mobile before but...
Ok cool wow
glad to see they somehow managed to fucking port it to desktop
??????
the website ever
Ah yeah I see 97 now too
restarting it fixed it but
Discord your application sucks
What the fuck 😭
This happened to one of mine before, but was fixed when restarting discrod
This literally never used to happen. What the actual fuck are they doing over there
this one wasn't fixed by then that, and then it was, and then it wasn't
cat kicked the discord server cable
i guess its a gamble whether sugg bot recognizes it as 100 votes or 10
must be

Discord, what you smoking over there
If anything I guess this sugg can be forwarded manually in case the star requirement is met
Granted anyone can see the actual requirements 
It, it has happened before
these "votes fluctuation" usually fix itself, most of the time
damn fr??
90% of the time it works everytime
I keep regular tabs on the suggestions amounts, I can keep a record of the most recent suggestions, if at all necessary
i dont remember this ever happening while i was here. except on mobile. desktop was always solid and reliable
not it had happened before
sometimes it is straight up completely reset and never bounce back, which is when that 10% of the time it don't work everytime
mobile frequently screws things up for me
desktop always seemed to behave as intended

So true
@drowsy plank Rover drive is 50 max hp
It was nerfed in 2.0.2
tbh, I kinda like "rework or remove" because less is more
ok uh
why did nobody tell that wulfrum acro pack guy
to specify doing that to squirrel hook only
bc that would be a good change
@neon tree https://calamitymod.wiki.gg/wiki/Astral_Monolith_Wall you mean this?
Astral Monolith Wall is a background wall crafted with Astral Monolith.
What the fuck
I looked and even searched for it with Magic Storage, it wasnt coming up
It seems like no one mentioned that suggestion at all
Well, that's not true. It was brought up, but only because the formatting was initially wrong
Sometimes Magic Storage doesn't show some recipes, it's best to check the wiki if you're looking for something in particular
Or not, depends on how you like playing the game
It does say to work only w Squirrel Hook?

yeah idk what bro was talking about
did you make a monolith amalgam?
yes
@neon tree If you need a plant arena find the vernal passage
@neon tree
a: formatting moment
b: vernal pass
What
!wiki vernal pass
https://calamitymod.wiki.gg/wiki/Biomes#Vernal_Pass
Not the correct result? Use !wiki page vernal pass for a direct link or !wiki search vernal pass for a list of all hits.
What the hell this is new to me
lmao
tldr it is basically a free plantera arena on world generation
and post-Plantera you can use rocket launcher over dynamite so there is even more of no reason to add better bombs
me who already started to make a huge arena for it
also just bad suggestion formatting and stuff lol
it is a statement of fact
its a rude statement
the bot flagged it because it isn't formatted correctly
also you barely provide an explanation as to why
other mods also already add this
Yea just use Fargos city buster
it's also not formatted right yeah, and has little to no reasoning behind it
That’s not rude he’s just spitting facts
No reasoning, improper format
he didn't even say it rudely 
I find the exact opposite: they actually actively ignore the hearts unless I right click it to the point that I need to actively desummon metastasis since they refuse to target the hearts
are you using whips by any chance?
I was using eye of magnus during that, maybe just minions' AI being different
but well imo the hearts' mechanic still aren't the best
I'm aware that cancel-resummoning it will instantly destroy the hearts but that's pretty much not the intended way of using I guess
the fact a summon weapon needs you to basically shoot at a stationary target for your summon to not kill you is definitely very weird
like does sepulcher have the damage that pays off for sacrificing your minions to attack the hearts or procing the summon damage penalty even?
While active make it attack where you click, but if you stop clicking it will attack you
Play cookie clicker with the enemies
ehhhh
carpal tunnel simulator isnt great
and just holding it down is lame
i think just putting it on a cooldown would work tho
maybe you need to specifically click with it's weapon on the thing?
that way it stops use from using rod, whips, classless for a lil bit
Yeah, like once every 10 seconds it will try to get you, so you need to swap to it and reclick
yeah yeah
That could be sick
that works p well i think
@fathom aspen while what you say is fine, i feel like what we said here might be worth consideration at least
i think the biggest issue is that targeting stationary targets conflicts heavily with summoner's identity and the rest of the stuff i said above like here
OH BY FAR METASTASIS IS HILARIOUSLY OVERPOWERED
Metastasis alone is like a 1:30 cut down MINIMUM on an exos fight
i c
so you could def sacrifice your minions to the hearts easily
and yes its extra dps is super strong for a 4-slots cost but imo the said controllability is rather uh
Oh, and if metastasis hit's you, you get iframes which makes it even more hilarious
how's its self damage?
kind of a lot on balanced build
Not sure after the update but I don't think it's much, or nearly enough to justify it giving you iframes
make it do defense damage
Oh rly? Huh
but yeah you can also check if it toggle iframe, I forgot if it deal defense damage
I just desummon it since I just wanted to get killtime
Bc you can use sepulture to give you iframes to take a weaker hit from it instead of oh idk, BLENDER, OHIO or T Hanos
It does not deal defense damage
then yeah if you stack defense it probably become stupid
currently you deal somewhat sizeable damage (frequently) if you are on balanced but obviously you can be a lot tankier
scal self-damage weapons moment
And it gives way more than enough damage to compensate for losing a little damage
scal exhumed weapon should just have local iframe like moon lord
^
that could work
I forgot if metastasis actually has that, cant check right now, need someone else to confirm
I'm certain like cinders it doesn't
Bc that's the thing making cinders of lament the second best post-scal weapon atm is the fact the brother's hits deal nothing bc of defense and dr and then give you iframes
That and it's damage is.... really stupid
I have not done any rigorous testing, and it was a couple weeks ago, but anecdotally the Meteor Fist carried me all the way through to pre-boss hardmode. Its explosions do great on Skeletron and all but negate the Perforators as a threat, and it's even solid against the Hive Mind.
yeah we all know Meteor Fist is good
Bc of how meteor is obtained, meteor fist is post evil1 since meteors naturally spawn then
and that's where the list of complements for meteor ends
(Not really)
Stealth looks good
It's stealth is the only C tier thing but spam is just mid
Stealth could use a very slight buff even since HM/Prefs is 2:00 iirc
I mention this specifically due to the suggestion listing meteor stuff as being underpowered for its progression point (true) specifically calls out the Fist as bad against every later boss (very not true ime).
i mean it is, the killtimes are right there, it's average at best
I mean, do you have proof it isn't bad againsn't everything post prefs/hm bc meteorite is post boc/eow
Indeed I do not.
I can't imagine it doing shit on skele prime but maybe it's decent on qb? Although qb is kinda frail as it at times
my guess is it's probably good... with offensive stacking
Prime? Definitely not.
But like
Anything not named Nadir, Obliterator, Cosmic Shiv and Slick Cane are so like 
It appears to do wacky things with Skeletron's defense, and shreds through the first phase that's meant to be gatekept by the hands going down in expert+.
Slick cane is the weapon of all time
Though that might be stealth in general? I am not super familiar with the nitty gritty of that mechanic.
(Oh, and Lacerator)
Are you testing this stuff on expert, in expert-revengence? Bc revengence is what the mod is balanaced around
Bc if it's just on standard expert that changes... A lot of things
Apparently I've been playing on easy mode, then, eesh. Been doing standard expert and getting wrecked by more bosses than not.
Am I just bad, then?
Not necessarily
i doubt ur bad but it aint what the mod is balanced around and without cal AI a lot of fights become hella easier and the viability of weps can change a lot
Just like
You saying meteor fist is really strong when you're not even playing on the difficulty the game is balanced around and a difficulty lower kinda explains why you might find it so strong
I just kinda assumed standard expert was a reasonable gauge of difficulty.
For a mod that doesn't add more difficulites yes
Ohhhhhh the calamity AI stuff is exclusive to- yeah okay. It's starting to come together.
But Cal adds Revengence, The intended Calamity Experience ™️ , and Death Mode, so yeah
Mmmmmmmm.
AI and HP
rev is like the expert of calamity
it's like classic, expert, rev, death -> easy, medium, hard, very hard
The listed changes looked so terrifying I assumed you were meant to be doing that after like. Five or six playthroughs.
We balance around Rev since that's the intended experience for cal
medium is what you play the first time but hard is what the game is balanced on
kinda like classic and expert in vanilla
Some people just jump straight into death mode
Doesn't matter a whole lot where you start with but it's generally recommended to start at expert-rev
(Just ignore master bc it does not exist :))))))
I see.
Touch annoying to have to keep track of two layers of difficulty at once, but I can't imagine a mod is capable of editing the worlds to that degree.
Difficulty doesn't affect worldgen lo
Since it's in a UI
Instead of a worldgen toggle option
For Rev/Death
No I uh
was skipping steps in my explanation
was thinking about theoretically replacing the vanilla difficulties with Calamity's in the world creation screen.
Removing the vanilla ones entirely.
that's planned
sorta
fabsol has already said they plan to replace master with rev/death
Wow, really? I assumed it'd be impossible to mod that sort of thing.
in world creation screen
nothing is impossible tbh
just
not worth the effort
(not to mention like)
(this is a terrible idea because cross mod compatibility exists)
anyway uh this metastatis suggestion
ignores that desummoning and respawning it just
deletes hearts entirely
kidna important to adress imo
despawn and resummon could also be addressed with this
just prevent despawn during bossfights too

There's been a lot of back and forth on what the plan with that is, ever since vanilla 1.4 came out
So I could say that you're right or I could say that you're wrong
and I'd be correct either way 
Though this isn't my suggestion, it is very similar to a past one I made and I'm happy that at least this one can possibly get passed by the devs
ok this is epic
move perennial ore to desert is a good one
Yeah, I was there for the discussions on all of the remove X item suggestions, and watched as they all failed individually. I feel pretty strongly about removing a lot of items, so the whole goal of the suggestion was to get as many to pass in a single suggestion while still keeping the reasoning strong, glad I was able to help yours and others get through even if it was just "stealing" and combining them. Now we just hope the devs agree
devplans.png
true
I just know that very recently fabsol said that was the plan
no more master mode clamity
Cmlaety
Cal has had a bad time with difficulties starting with M 
TRUE
Lol
Yooooooooo
It's probably gonna get denied but I'm excited nonetheless
just give it anything past early hm tbh 
I find it funny that the suggestion about adding "Official" to the name of the Music Mod is the top suggestion of this group
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Like I said, the simplest ones always get the most votes
lmao how has my ele gauntlet/quiver sugg already gotten 130 votes
Random suggestion idea that I had
Rework Biofusillade
This weapon is a Uelibloom-tier weapon that is essentially functionally identical to how it was when it was introduced, which in case you don't know, was the literal first version of the Calamity Mod. It's still just rapid-fire projectiles, with the only substantial changes being re-tiers. This thing really needs a rework, as it's frankly quite bland for a post-Moon Lord weapon. I think there could be something much, much better done with this thing, and it may lead the way to more ambitious magic weapons in the future.
I'm going to be heading out pretty soon, so if any of you wanted to suggest this formally, go ahead
Time to make Biofusillade good again
Just unnerf Traitorous and make it pre-Polter 
Nope
But it's very likely that we'll rework it with Uelibloom
Relatively, yeah
yall are on areospec and theres quite a bit of time between them
assuming all multi class calamity armours are getting reworked, we have:
aerospec -> statigel -> cryonic -> hydrothermic -> astral(?) -> uelibloom
i mightve missed one
are they going to be turned into single-class like wulfrum?
aerospec been confirmed for ranger and mage only
neat
shouldve been ranger and rogue since melee, mage and summoner alr got an armour set one boss beforehand
(which is why we need crab and deerclops inbetween evil 1 and 2)
oh ye victide didnt get a rework just a sprite update
also can we rename victide thanks
huh no suggestion on that unless i missed it
can someone double check if there was a sugg on victide rename or know if its planned alr?
None in voting I could find, doesn't make sense to be named after victory shards
i claim it (i havent written a word of it)
oh lmao, you just said that
Me deleting your messages 
BASED
dont u dare
gatekeep gaslight trial mod
Theorize throwup trialmod
It is a BASED nitro feature
another thing to make nitro "worth" more
fuck im an awful writer
wait i have an idea
what the hell is a super reaction
thanks for demonstrating with another useless nitro feature
wait fuck i dont think will work
If that's the case, should I just remove the suggestion?
nvm ill just write like a normal human
Discord adding the most fucking useless paywall features while their search function breaks every other day and reactions get thanos snapped randomly
no keep reminding the devs
But... but... the funny reaction effects!!1!1
discord nitro users should be able to ban people without reason whenever, that would be an amazing feature that would improve discord

❗ moment
Yup
❗ moment indeed
@deft finch no
Wasn't a boss concept like that also in the cut content doc
I think there might've been
Rename Victide Armour
I believe the name of "Victide Armour" is not appropiate anymore due to Pearl Shards, previously known as Victory Shards, was renamed to a more fitting name.
guys i need help idk wat else to write and it feels wrong ending it like that
No clue I'm new to modded
i wanna suggest something, but i dont know what to suggest
me 24/7
i call it.... the fogbound
Whats doc?
document
document
Doc is short for document
hlep
i just feel like there should be more written to it but idk wat
There's been a suggestion that got into voting with "That's it that's the suggestion 👍 " as the reasoning
It looks fine honestly
Victide imo is an unique enough name for the armor set
that is true
(sadly)
which one was it
oh i know wat was missing
what the fuck is this profile frame
well it was a pretty straightforward ask
why do the eyes move
surveillance
lol
That one yea
Rename Victide Armour
I believe the name of "Victide Armour" is not appropiate anymore due to Pearl Shards, previously known as Victory Shards, was renamed to a more fitting name and Victide Armour getting a resprite, giving it a more sea-related look. Victide Armour's name should also follow with this theme change.
thats better no?
well the look is fine imo
im gonna post it and hope im original
The reasoning was vanity accs should work on mannequins
The “That’s it that’s the suggestion 👍” was just a bad sugg practice but those arent insta flags
which should be self explanatory due to the title
i did bring up victide’s name before
but it was decided to retroactively turn the pun into “vicious + tide”
i dont
wat
vicious
i
wat
wait so how tf u meant to pronounce victide then
hmm

vishtide
NO
That was the only part I remembered about it, I forgot the rest
Vietide
Like indict but it's vict
Terrible pronunciation, I know
dracovishtide
😔
This sounds/looks like a word for a horrible event done against Vietnamese people
It does
That wasn't the intention but I regret creating that word
also i love how yuh joined discord on april fools
says march 31st for me, get timezoned
Off topic vids in CMT 😔
What if Supreme Calamitas had no arena anymore, changing Sepulcher to be more like Metastasis and increasing the speed of Brimstone Monsters to accommodate?
Reversion suggestion
Fair, but how long ago was that? Or was that just normal Calamitas?
pretty sure scal had it too, and it was a while ago, but id argue it also falls under excessive work as well
scal has always had some arena limitations as far as i can tell on the wiki
The first arena was added in ~1.2
first it was bordernados like yharon has and then it was the modern arena
No, when I initially played she didn't you kinda just flew all across space, made finding calamitous essence miserable because it floated
but that was like, 6+ years ago
1.2.3.001, so around 5 years ago
That seems far off but it's still quite a bit of work and a reversion
Devs have already stated scal is s finished fight iirc
also changing her to not have an arena makes little sense, that's what exo mechs are for
Ain no way she's losing the arena
It does seem mildly inconsistent compared to the doppelganger
That's like one of the coolest things
@fervent orbit, sorry to bother you over something semantic, but I feel like this part of your sugg:
due to Pearl Shards, previously known as Victory Shards, was renamed to a more fitting name
should be changed to:
due to Victory Shards being renamed to the more fitting name of Pearl Shards
thanks
you'd have better luck convincing people to give clone cal an arena than to remove scals
also like
why?????
Good question
I think Scal spawning that arena is quite distinctive to that boss fight
Just seemed off for me, but I guess it's indeed a staple to the fight.
it's very staple
it also makes a lot of sense
she and exo mechs are the opposite types of fights
Exos are a speed and damage race, very chaotic
She is slower, methodical, and a test of endurance
removing the arena reduces those comparisons drastically
you'd also need to do way more than just buff brim monsters and sepulcher if you removed arena
I'm not entirely sure what else would need to change, but it does make her and the Exo Mechs very similar so it seems pretty dumb now.
Oh god without an arena you’d just rungod bullet hells
Calamitas World Tour
Normal Calamitas:
Exo Mechs find that childsplay
prior to the box being a thing I believe the way people beat scal was basically identical to the way people beat exo twins
albiet the fight was a lot different back then (no bullet hells lol)
correct, you just flew across like all of space
Scal needs a better arena
really? I think it's fine as is
It's
The final boss of the mod
You fight it in a thin ass box
You fight the final boss of the mod, in a one tile wide red box
I guess I normally build blocks around the outside and shadow paint them, so that criticism is fair
I WILL KILL YOU
wot
Byeah I think Cal's arena would benefit from a glowup
I don't think I need to explain why a box arena
for the final boss of the mod is bad
Tho what the fuck could be made without-
Make it an eye
Make it a fucking eye and I will cry
Holy shit, make it look like the old crags please
Can you let me?
thats going to be saved and used as blackmail
Lame, boring and unethical
And performance issues

NOOOOOO
Someone make "Visually improve Scal's aren" I'm too lazy
Time to write
just politely ask before bullying them for access to the code

Already did one for visual improvements for Exo Mechs so why not
If theres an
“Like infernum” or “infernum does it”
IM KILLING YOU
so uhm
I haven't even played Infernum so I'm immune
let me write this
Improve SCal's arena's aesthetics
For currently being one of the final bosses of Calamity, and possibly the most well known of the Calamity bosses, SCal's arena is very underwhelming in terms of aesthetics. Currently, it is just a 1 block wide box of red tiles. This looks underwhelming for a boss that is usually hyped over alot, and looks bland and lazy. I believe that an aesthetic upgrade to SCal's arena would be a large improvement as it would make SCal feel more like a final boss and would be more imposing to players fighting SCal.
(like infernum)
thoughts?
oh wait i forgot one tiny bit

I will boil your liver.


lo
(The sugg is good)
oh ok
Can I add one thing?
i prob shouldnt be posting so many suggs at once
i said thoughts for a reason
A
Ok, so
The shape of the arena could resemble an eye, for several reasons. Two of which would be to pay homage to the old Crags format, which had an eye in the center of it, and not only that, but it would serve as a nice nod for Calamitas' old sprite where she resembled an eye. But of course, references for the sake of references aren't enough, specially for the past, so for the preset, the eye could serve as a representation of Calamitas watching you, even now. Currently, the reasons Calamitas fights you are specifically tied to the fact that she is afraid you will just become like Yharim, and concludes this by, you guessed it, watching you, she even comments on you killing her Clone, which clearly defines that she was in fact watching you, and in general Calamitas watching you is a theme that has been solidified not only in the Lore but also in the player's views. Even during the fight, the Supreme Witch would keep her gaze upon you, watching your performance, your ambitions and your wishes, to finally come to the conclusion that as afraid as she is, you offer a more hopeful future than Yharim does now.
@fervent orbit if you could add into the suggestion
❗
Shit
thanks friend
Leave the shape up to us
Sorry just thought the idea was too good to pass up
Crazy how one word changes the implications of a phrase so much
You could add something like "how you change the arena to be more impactful is up to the devs, but changing the shape to eye or otherwise altering the structure from a basic box could be a good start"
and that would just be mentioning a possibility, and less SiS
Your shape is also a reference for sake of reference (also ❗ )
Yeah, just thought it would be cool and all, reference and a justification past that
yall think its fine to send as is or should i get some more opinions from others
And “it would be cool” is also ❗ but you at least justified it to not get that flag the sugg
I miss old crags
. At least New New crags is cool, mid crags was just mid and cringe
coincidentally to the conversation, it was also just a big square
Suggestions are hard for me to make because most of the time I think way too much about what I want to suggest and specify it too much, byeah
Ture........
God I wish that were me
i have a problem of thinking i havent written too much
I do the alternative of think several times ahead and then get tired
I could say that I am in fact good at thinking
I just do good at connecting some dots
Yea thinkers get stressed and more anxious compared to the average
This is very true I am always at the verge of exploding
as someone who thinks this is true
See, on the one hand I have ADHD, so I need drugs to focus, on the other hand I have natural anxiety, and the drugs also give me anxiety, so thinking is like all I do
I'm minimaxing my anxiety 
people think? crazy
I remember a doctor once told me:
“Why do smart people worry so much?”
did you answer the quesion
I was confused too, is that just the end of the story?

Wanna hear a jok:
"SCal and Yharon walk into a bar"
this is quite the jok, but I'm more intrested in a joke, if you have any of those

probably the opposite
oh no 
honestly it probably won't be the worst one
this is one one I'm worried about
because my mind immediately comes up with "invisible signus" as the most likely outcome for this description
I really hope it's just completely invisible
maybe not exo's, but
at least he's still pretty easy if he telegraphs his teleports 
I'd be fine with that if they removed his contact damage. Imagine, you're just dodging projectiles and suddenly Signus appears behind you, giving you a very short time to not get stabbed.
calclone arena oh god no
you know wat guys
to make a sprite invisible
all you need is to make it completely transparent

true
@fervent orbit What's wrong with the name? It has "tide" in the name and is sea related. Makes sense to me.
Or inflict it with miracle blight
I think its funny how most of the gfb descriptions are pretty descriptive/actually give you an idea of what they might do and then theres polterghast
inflict ares with miracle blight
(i swear its a feature not a bug)
yeah, that's what I'm referencing lmao
it having tide in its name is happenstance most likely

oh no
Happenstance that works
that works and is not very noticable
no its not
assuming hekate isn't litterally all gfb exo's is?
wuh oh
Its on a state of being real and not at the same time
its not
another mech is coming
Schcrodinger’s hypnos
exo pbg
Separate boss
yeah
(yes i do know how hekate works, no i wont say how i know)
Feels a bit unfinished tbh will prob get some polish
good
i felt like it was lacking
Decompiling code 
you and doze knowing how to access code 
yes
It's not hard, pretty much needed for crossmodding
yea
yeah
like my mutated truffle mod wont have been able to happen if i didnt know how to decompile
wait where'd you hear that
also my mod should be implemented into cal it makes truffle so much better it hurts seeing normal mutated truffle
I do it for figuring out how people do bizzare stuff, I needed it when trying to figure out how to override buffs to make the icon not appear while still having the buff internally so having an unlimited profaned rage buff would disable an unlimited rage buff while neither showed the icon to clog screen
ah
and then they just removed the upgrade potions and all the code went to nothing

I was in agony. Glad they are gone tho
i think ill wait till tmr for my victide sugg to go into voting before posting my scal arena one
It does
It makes no sense, but I can't really think of something better
there is, daedalus is no longer in lore
the stormbow in question
ok so there is something wrong with victide
^
Though it is a good suggestion
I hope we do find a better name
"Alpha Blue" armor
Gamma Green armor
chat gpt told me it can be renamed into smthn like "Aqua Armour" or "Tsunami Armour"
dear god
no thats silva if silva got deleted from lore
aquarmor
redtide armor
xeroc armor 
i mean victide seems pretty fitting to me
victory + tide
you unlock it through a victory
"Ocean Hued Clam"
or it could just be victide
asked chat gpt and got some results
aeroctory armoe
no
me when the vicplague armor
nah but victide has a ring
I don't see a need to change it
Oceanic Fury Armor, Poseidon's Might Armor ,Aquatic Tempest Armor, Leviathan's Domain Armor, Stormy Seas Armor, Neptune's Reign Armor, Tsunami Tamer Armor, Sea King's Regalia Armor, Triton's Triumph Armor, Abyssal Wave Armor
why are they all two words
Aerospec was shot in a dark alley
found dead in miami
Too lengthy
yes just got my 2nd result for one worded instead
Aquamancer
Typhoon
Mariner
Oceanus
Cyclone
Hydroforce
Waveborn
Stormsworn
Leviathan
Tidewalker
The new names are Skyplume Sentinel and Skyplume Sorcerer, for reference
Ilmerian Armor
hear me out, we call it hydrothermic armor
call it the name of amidias kingdom
yeah but it's sunken sea
not abyss
"Hypoxia Armor", because like, the sunken sea is eutrophic
Nah
I actually like that
Too tangential
yes, so is eutrophication
i would not say it's more fitting than victide
i asked for them to be more related to the sunken sea and this is wat i got
Euthropic armor....
Abyssalite
Krakenite
Sunknight
Seawraith
Coralite
Deepdive
Trenchcoat
Sunkenhelm
Brineguard
Seafang
FISH armor....
yes
yes
those names are actually good what the fuck
Coralite is not bad
trenchcoat
GHOTI armor
what
brineguard
victide should be called tideguard actually
wat
single piece armor set....
Coralite and Brineguard are cool
trenchcoat is so funny joke
trenchcoat armor
So is Ghoti
i dont get ghoti
ok guys im going to make my victide suggestion a bit more specific
its going to be a HUGE change
so watch it
eh?
It is a very very old joke making fun of english that's incredibly stupid, it says that "Ghoti" is pronounced fish
watch this gret deni
k ill put my old sugg back
got a rlly good prompt for chatgpt to make names for victide armour, all i have to do is say another one and it just gives me more ideas
uhm
its giving alot of alliteration tho
ok noob hear me out for like a second
victide
that is all
Deadtide armor because the armor is Dead Sea Life colored
Deathtide sounds pretty metal
damn my problem with the valor not having autoswing led me to use the feral claws with it and apparently they also affect the agility of yoyos in the air for some bizzare reason
YES
Melee speed boost?
IMO the best possible name to replace Victide
yeah thats probably it but its surprising that its applied to yoyos like that
true !
GOOD suggestion
i sure do love my Silver Axe: The Second: But Objectively Better
the plan already is to replace feller with axe of regrowth once the update drops
lol
feller was always wild
it's oddly strong for no reason as an axe
not insanely so but also just randomly existed while sliver has an axe too
Just turn Feller into a non-axe and rework it
I'm still fine with removal, I'm just saying that it's not entirely necessary to remove it
m
Inferna Cutter should just upgrade off Axe of Regrowth
it wasn't neccessary to remove coldheart or spectre rifle
but there were plenty of good reasons
some of the same ones as shown here about Fellergreen
that said the reasoning here involves 1.4.4 tmod so I'm not sure
that's not the primary reasoning but yeah it prolly shouldn't say that due to
future item suggestion
Axe of Regrowth is a strong argument, but shouldn't be used atm
yea
Na
Axe of regrowth is helpful and itd be annoying to have to get rid of one to craft it into an item
Wait nvm i forgot what inferna cutter is sry


inferna cutter is that one true melee weapon that release projectile on true melee hit that have iframe conflict with its own projectile causing it to be unable to hit with the true melee hit therefore loss like 80% of possible DPS
and is only good on worms because that is the one target their true melee can actually hit
i wish you can combine glorious end and art attack
inferna cutter isn't true melee
iirc
it has an on swing projectile according to the wiki
oh right it is a projectile sword (axe) that have true melee effect, that the projectile have iframe conflict with the true melee part
yeah now I remember how it is even worse than I remembered
Why would we add Viscera but ranger?
And I forgor who sent a message on #suggestions-posting
@heady timber
Please 
because one cannot just use bloodfire bullets 
!wiki angelic shotgun
oh wait yeah wtf @deft yew you can't use Axe of Regrowth as reasoning that's 1.4.4 stuff
aka future content
if it's that much of an issue then alright
the next update will be 1.4.4 wont it?
yes that is correct
i wasn't allowed to use 1.4 stuff as reasoning during the port, so the rule remains
there are plenty of suggs that we've discussed in this very chat that are being held for 1.4.4
because That Is Just How It Works
Honestly the rule when on ports is very....
Like we're already on port season anyway
And this IS content people have played with already cuz its vanilla
i mean it's like a week or so, fabsol said that's the timeline now
the suggestions can wait for that week
My doppleganger
and calamity might be making changes that players aren't aware of
making suggestions about it pointless
ok but unless there's any known calamity plans with (thing) you already fully know how it's gonna affect calamity
ye you can wait for until the port happens to make sure you arent suggesting something thats already implemented in the port
Because unlike unreleased content you have experienced vanilla update content
Kinda looks like Chopper
thing is you don't
there are likely things that haven't even been mentioned yet
i mean the plan was already to replace feller with regrowth anyway so i feel like it is particularly relevant here lol
Who the fuck is chopper and how do they look like noelle deltarun
chopper... why does that make me think of one piece i have no idea i have never watched or read one piece
This is why transparency is good when you're having people suggest stuff for next updates
Reindeer from one piece
Right
also i agree i wish we could know more about stuff like this but it's up to devs to decide when these things are pushed to the public so
not much i can do about that
laser, the verb
@heady timber please read the pinned instructions on suggestion dos and don'ts, "because it would be cool" and "I think it's boring" doesn't really work as reasoning to convince the devs why it should be added
that's just the lunic eye line
What does "lasers and heals" even mean 
thorium healer ‼️
presumably damages and heals but also. that is still just lunic eye lmao

aha, but lunic isn't a gun 😤
Lunic eye homes in and applies ichor, right? It also isn't restricted to a class and just has a base damage of like 7 or someth
Marked debuff
Oh, did it used to apply ichor? Haven't used it in ages
you might be thinking of golden gun
It always applied Marked
Ah, it would make enemies piss yellow so I assumed it was ichor
purble?
It made them purple
Yeahhhhh
Anyway
Back to the suggestion
I like how he says "Add a gun that lazers and heals" just to go and say the same exact thing except he goes onto add "both at the same time"
wait why are there two winston paynes
fuck I really need to create a SIS copy pasta just like the one for buffing weapon in balance suggestion
What 💀
ikr
3 different people can copy paste it every time 
there is this gun called Pearl God already
which still heal a very good amount for large part of the game, at post-ML you have bloodflare core stuff (eg: Bloodboiler)
We can both get into a call, he's not an alt
(it's actually pretty good)
and of course you have bloodflare arrows and bullet which provide healing
ranger is not "lacking" in healing, and we have no reason to need more "laser" gun
get gaspen in here too while were at it
when laser identity is more mage than ranger
It’s kind of cool though

clearly one of you is a sussy impostor
that
really doesn't matter 
I think it’s a good idea
ok
(yes, "it will be cool" is unironically one of the direct example provided to not be valid for suggestion)
I mean we already have a lot of guns, and many laser weapon
do you have any other reasoning besides
"it's cool"
they should add a weapon that attacks via tangent waves (somehow) it'd be cool
and those laser weapons tend to be mage instead of ranger, and thats about it
isn't there a draedon gun that fires lasers
oh right even aether's whisper is mage now
yeah
or explosion tbf
I have another reason
