We’re getting there 💪
It’ll be worth it in the end though
For now it’s definitely frustrating but once the library’s rate limiter issues are fixed it should be much smoother sailing
You don't
it had a bug where it just kept logging the crash until basically it couldn't anymore because you ran out of space
what the fuck
This was the last issue this is something different 

(well at least the last crash gave me a funny joke)
@echo leaf - Your suggestion has received an updated status!
[Reduce the Blood Orb cost of Bounding potions, Photosynthesis potions, Soaring potions, and Fabsol's Vodka]
It has officially been implemented into the game, and will be available in the next update!

@drowsy plank - Your suggestion has received an updated status!
[Make Burning Blood and Brain Rot Sickness Debuffs]
It has received enough votes to be passed on to the dev server for voting! You'll be notified again when a verdict is reached.

i think that's all the missed announcements

...uhhh...
true
lol
You can make the lunar tablet ineligible to spawn by putting a block right in the middle of where it would spawn
Then because it can't spawn, the cultists never spawn, they can never be killed, and Lunatic Cultists can never be accidentally summoned
There are a few more ways to make the cultists never spawn but that's the only one I know the details of right off the bat
Thanks 😄
So how does the voting work?
Pretty simple. Once a suggestion goes from posting to voting, there's that little star reaction under them.
Each star is a vote.
Is there a quantity of votes to get it noticed by the devs?
Top 20% of the votes older than 7 days and younger than 14 days
Checked every Friday
So let’s say there was 15 posts, the 3 posts with the highest star count would be passed to the devs (20% of 15 is 3)
@strong star - Your suggestion has received an updated status!

You have
No idea

I think Discord is actually trying to kill me
I think the library ratelimiting issue has made Discord really mad, and it was taking me an EXTREMELY long time to receive events when I was debugging the bot on my PC
I mean like multiple minutes
My VM was also running extremely slow and I don't know why that is either
I'm going to leave everything off for a day or two and hope Discord stops trying to eliminate me
christ
if the argument i had earlier is anything to go by, i dont think this ones getting implemented either
I mean yeah you were talking to one of the writers
Also fuck I knew it, the notifs did go through.
ol uke
old duke smoking a doobie image
this will be outdated in 2022
one must wonder what goes through the mind of a fading legend .,,,,
lung cancer

This suggestion scares me
I'll read it a little bit later
@empty nacelle
I think you should make smaller suggestions and not dump them all into one
Assigning ammo sounds fun, but you have both guns and bows, plus a lot of other ranger weapon types
Accuracy system doesn't really fix the issue of bullets being too small and as for them.... Yeah, I agree that those are too small sometimes, but you can really increase them, iirc
can I make multiple suggestion at once? if so i'll split them
You can
You'll need to wait 10 minutes to post them in #suggestions-posting, tho
every classes have lots of their respective weapons types, but the best weapon u can acquire in each progression is actually not that many(which is good), in ranger case, sometimes the best weapons in the progression contradict each other, meaning u can't use both together, and it is never a problem for other classes except ranger
i dont think i need to split them then
accuracy system is extremely essential for ranger class, like how can u not have them as a shooter?it fixes the issue of bullets being too small only for skilled player, not for general, that's why i suggest implementing both
I think they should add an item or built in stats that shows what is your accuracy too
I wonder if edited suggestion will take effect in the voting channel...
Magic weapons are mostly the same and the type of each respective weapon doesn't do much. Summoner has only 4 types of weapons at most (which is pretty different, because it's... summoner). And if we consider only the good options, we will limit ourselves a lot
I have only few reasons to use 2 different weapons for a boss — either one of them is better for one phase and another one is better for different another phase, or debuff stacking. And if you want to stack them, you have more than enough options for that
@empty nacelle this suggestion would require a massive rebalance of the entire ranger class to implement, making it disallowed under the extreme effort rule. Aside from that, ranger is in fact not the weakest class and it's primary mechanic revolves around having to aim your weapons.
If you have specific weapons that you believe genuinely have too low projectile speed/size, you can report those in #1178515062030348308
And I forgot to add that the suggestion falls under the "too much effort" category. Oops
the officials always says everything is balanced but users feedback say otherwise
That's just a recommendation, because otherwise if devs will not like one point of the suggestion, all other points will also fall (usually)
not really, just 3 simple suggestions
sad
crowd control, single target high damage, short range, long range, or simply for fun
....uhh, what point do you answer?
ranger got a good amount of content back last update didnt it
there are so many people literally ranking ranger as the worst class
Simple suggestions are something like this: #suggestions-voting message
It doesn't require to rebalance an entire class or making a new mechanic, just adding something already existing to another thing, making it more interesting and thus better
Can confidently say I'm not one of them 
And I've seen many who think otherwise just as well
No, mage is the worst
I don't think that proves any points

In the first place, whether a class is the worst has no actual input on how the class itself is
only thing i dislike about ranger is the limited amount of accessories 🥲
different weapons for boss, but not just boss, mobs too, and having to swap your ammo for different enemies that can appear at once is terrible
Like, Mage isn't unplayable just because it's the worst. It's simply worse in relation to other classes and nothing else
someone recommended a swap ammo keybind would that satisfy you
Anyway yeah no suggestions for rebalancing an entire class please that really puts the devs on the spot if they had to do something like that (not that they will ever have to be in that situation but still)
would they make ranger accessories if i asked them nicely 🥺
sounds good, but how is it supposed to work, you have 4 ammo slots
Recolored Recon Scope
Worse than Ranger Emblem


not if they love the mod or ranger class enough
Inventory slots don't exist, I guess
You can't really just decide that
Devs already on the edge with the next update, because... summoner.
chill, i thought u cant use ammo placed in inventory?
You can 
ok
but still, im just wondering how it works, like details
also the game priotize ammo slots over inventory
Someone did 5 ichor bullets, 200 crystal ones, and on, and on, just to apply Ichor debuff
That's funny
It checks inventory slots from left to right and from top to bottom, iirc
And as for ammo slots... I don't know 
how do u react with emojis to someone's message?
...uhh, there's an emoji icon in the typing bar?
but no reason for keybind, game can just auto detect, the weapon wants wooden arrow then gives the weapon that damn wooden arrows, case closed

i mean direct emoji on the message
The weapons don't always want to use convertible ammo
Most people don't have reaction perms
ok
The same? 
bruh
the weapon is designed for convertion if u dont convert u r shooting urself in the leg
...bruh
What does this mean 😭
not but the mod clarified
Thats not true at all
Does anyone have timekills with the convertible weapons?
Not every weapon is objectively better with converted ammo
My bad, didn't understand you
Unless it's Deathwind 

nvm maybe im wrong
Barinautical, AS weapon pool (wood/special)
Cryo (Holy Arrow) - 1:45 / 1:45 (S)
Brim (Holy Arrow) - 1:56 / 1:50 (S)
Twins (Cinder Arrow) - 1:57 / 2:15 (B/C)
Destroyer (Unholy Arrow) - 3:33 / 2:09 (B)
Prime (Cinder Arrow) - 2:23 / 2:24 (C)
i just seen some people says ranger is not getting enough love
It doesnt get too much love on accessories, you dont have to rework the entire class
Its very good right now and doesnt have any big issues like mage
Agree
ok but can u get these arrows at eary stage?
Are we talking about convertible weapons or what?

I mean Ranger still has fine accessories and it can use a lot of generic accessories to benefit itself, it doesn't really need a lot of class specific accessories
talking about weapon and ammo relation in their current progression, maybe the ammo required to exceed the convertion is beyond the progression
Why would it be?
Cinder is post-1 mech, holy is pre-mechs and unholy is pre-hardmode

Im sorry but this makes no sense
The testing wouldnt be valid if you didnt get on tier arrows
Holy is also post 1 mech
Those testings are from #1277192135640088586, so they won't use anything past a specific progression point
My bad here, forgot about that
Honestly what it needs imo is more generally applicable unique accs
Basically everything uses Stat stick 1 and Stat stick 2 right till endgame
😭
Firerate stat on soma prime
ok, if converted projectiles can get overpowered by other ammo in current progression, that sounds like balance issue and basically beat the purpose of converting

But then say that if they arent its a balance issue?
i never complained about converted ammo being better on converted weapons, it is suppossed to be like that
Well you can't make convert better against everything
No you did say that in the suggestion
where
No, you can. Just make it overturned

That's called a balance issue.
Agree 
i never said better against everything, u didnt understand
Well then what's the problem? Convert is sometimes better sometimes worse and that's expected to happen as it's in its nature
"Some weapons only accept wooden arrows or muskets to convert them into stronger projectiles, while some weapons don't convert, and if you want to use these 2 weapon variation together, you will be in a dilemma of wether to use the weakest ammo for the conversion but makes non-convert weapon useless, or choose the best upgraded ammo currently for non-convert weapons leaving the convert weapons useless."
Specific ammo types are better against specific enemies and you can't make one ammo type good for every enemy
^ this basically
That's, at the very least, defeats the whole ammunition system we currently have
lets say, 1 weapon requires wooden arrow for convertion, if the same weapon uses another arrow in the current progression and performs better, the convertion is pointless then
Well then it doesn't do that, usually anyway
I don't think there are common examples of this present today
Do you have any examples regarding this?
if the accuracy system falls under extreme effort rules, then just ignore it
You need to edit your suggestion so it doesn't contain any of the parts that would necessitate a full rebalance of the class
...hmm, off topic, but should the Wiki have a page with all convertible weapons?
Idk, you should bring that up in #wiki-discussion
Brother delete your previous message or edit it and delete the new one @empty nacelle
Thats just flooding the suggestions chat
done
I think this really should be a suggestion and a balance report
Increasing projectile sizes is a balance thing, the suggestion part is assigning ammo to weapons
i dont want to delete the accuracy system suggestion as I really liked it
it can just be ignored if unacceptable
Oh my god 😭
Thats just spam
We already have a system that benefits you when your accuracy is high
It's called hitting your shots
Aside from that, prioritizing conversions is a bad idea as they aren't going to be guaranteed to be stronger (as was covered here already)
There are already weapons that convert all ammo, if they were intended to always convert they'd do that instead
then also add an option to disable it, simple fix
The weapons that always convert ammo should arguably just default to the ones that only do on Musket Balls ngl
You could suggest that for example @empty nacelle
If you rewrite this again, please don't put the balance issue of ammo sizes and the suggestion of convert linking in the same post.
not if your class has low/mid dps even with high accuracy
This is incorrect
Thats just not true lmao
Genuinely false
i have to seperate these 2 suggestion? so 1 at a time?
Yes
Putting 2 suggestions in the same post reduces the chance that either will get through
Balance issues are handled in #1178515062030348308 btw
So that's where ammo size part goes to
^
Any issues with ammo sizes should go there, not in sugg posting
done
...yeah
maybe im wrong about this, but genuine question, is high accuracy damage in ranged rewarding enough as it is the hardest class to have high accuracy? I feel like this is hard to answer
I would say yes. From my experience it has been the case with most things I used
It is also very satisfying to hit your shots for a long period and see that damage rack up
my understand is, every classes have to dodge, but melee is most forgiving, dodging is basically the same skill ceiling for every classes, but not every classes have the same skill entry for offense, summoner is easiest for offense(easy doesnt mean strong although summoner is strong), then mage with tracking, then melee or ranged, which is harder idk
true melee is rewarded for high skill entry
what about ranged
Ranger and Mage are not any different in their ability to hit shots, really. Mage might even be worse due to not having good velocity on most things
Arrows notably are similar but the rest of the class isn't lacking in velocity
this is the reason i think about accuracy system
for offensive difficuly i think: summoner<mage<melee<ranged<true melee
The accuracy system won't happen as it would massively increase the reward for being higher skilled that is inherent to the game, aside from the endless balance issues that stem from it anyway
ok
Rogue??
Stealth is pretty hard to aim, most of the time, but spam is spam 
i guess u mean it is between summoner and mage
Actually, what do you mean by offensive difficulty?
how hard is it to hit your shots
not how strong it is
about how difficult it is to land shots
In my experience, all of them are pretty easy except for true melee
You won't be dealing damage 100% of the time, but that's ok, it will be pretty close
You also don't need to reward accuracy because your reward is dealing damage
As others have said
Summoner needs penalty for dealing damage 
it is easy to land ranged shots, but its the class with lowest accuracy too, thats why most people that play ranged will have a lower dps compared to other classes, unless u r skilled
If it's easy to land shot, why ranger is the class with the lowest accuracy? I don't get it
the thing is u need to put in higher effort for the same damage output, low effort with low accuracy will gives u the worst dps, high effort with high accuracy gives u the same or higher? than other classes, idk
The effort is insignificant to me
firing rate
What
for example, u have a machine gun, it will be easy to hit your enemies, but lots of ur bullets will not hit, resulting in low accuuracy
Isn't the point of a minigun is to have low accuracy, but high firerate? And the opposite with sniper rifles?
this is just an example to help u understand the concept
of easy to land but hard to be accurate
Explodes you with my mind
there are tons of opinions about ranger having the lowest dps, and I think the main reason is the skill entry, hard to be accurate while dodging, multitasking of moving ups and downs left and right, while pointing ur cursor at the enemies precisely, sometimes accounting the projectile speed and enemies speed to lead shots
i made a mistake of saying ranger is easy to hit shots, in fact every classes is easy to hit shots, accuracy is what im talking about
u have to compensate your cursor for every movement u made and every movement your enemies made, and projectile sizes and speed to lead cursor ahead or before enemies, all this result in me saying ranger has a high skill entry
If ranger was easier to hit shots with itd probably be nerfed to compensate
Which would make people hate it
im having fun playing as ranger though
Plus if you really cant hit you can always use chlorophyte
All classes act like this.
Will it deal lower damage than some other endgame bullets? Yeah
not with much smaller projectiles
But you will hit everything
Small projectiles that travel near instantly.
not worth it, hitting everything is not the point, dps is
no
Ranger has the highest velocity weapons and ammo for a reason.
unless u talking about late game
This is the point, you sacrifice damage for consistency, or consistency for damage
slighly higher than mage
You can either hit all the shots and not have as high of a max damage, or get the strongest bullet but risk missing
yea
You know, if you really want to prove a point, you should probably back it up with numbers.
also if u think multitasking is not the factor, what do u think is the factor
Because currently, you haven't done that at all.
maybe because i dont find it necessary
So your points arent really strong
if u want to prove me wrong bring up the number and i will accept if im wrong
Its not about wheter you find something necessary
i dont mind being wrong
If you want to argue without any numbers no one will take you seriously
This thread was specifically made to test weapons. You can go there and find resources proving ranger is not bad. #1277192135640088586
And if you really want to, you can do your own tests and submit them to #1178515062030348308 if they really are underperforming.
not that no one will take me seriously, just that i dont find the need to be trusted
im not knowledgeable about calamity let alone terraria
everyone is welcome to correct me
I mean if you want to discuss something more in depht you should care to learn about its details
i write these opinion so that u share your opinion on my opinion too and thats enough
rest i can just wiki
Because it makes things easier for everyone


all those stats we can just wiki, but insights that are not stated in it is what i look for
wiki will not say which class is inferior to other class or any bias thing
i come to discord hoping for bias thoughts and i will think on my own wether to take it or not
people r afraid to be bias tho
You shouldn't test weapons and especially entire classes in a vacuum
Especially if testing means "I've read about the weapon". That's the theory, not the practice that we need
sorry, but im literally playing the game lmao
learning without playing is theory, but im playing the game
with very limited knowlwdge of course
Sometimes it's not about weapon being bad but you use it at wrong time like using ST on multisegmented boss or use low damage high fire rate weapon against high defense boss without armor penetration
Single target
will npc sells happiness related items except pylons?
in calamity
nvm i should ask this elsewhere
i checked the wiki out of curiosity, for pre hardmode ranged and mage, turns out only a few mage have lower velocity than ranged, most are very similar, some mage weapon are instant projectiles
You also need to take in consideration the velocity of the ammunition, and how much of a velocity multiplier it has.
All ammo in Calamity has velocity multipliers to make them faster.
No
All. Including Vanilla.
"all ammo in calamity"
They have been changed too.
They didnt say all calamity ammo
A few summoner weapons use ammo too
3 i think
very few
now i gotta see the ammo stat changes from vanilla
Go to vanilla changes page
im talking about pre hardmode, very tiny changes on bows, no velocity increased on arrows, and only musket ball got double the velocity
projectile sizes are not listed
prob no changes
idk about hardmode as im at late pre hardmode, but ranged pre hardmode seems underpowered
u cant filter the weapon types on site making them much harder to check
for anyone that says ranged is balanced i find it even harder to believe now
maybe they are talking about hardmode ranged
Are you sure? 
Silver
i seen 1 arrow damage got nerfed
@median scaffold did you see the pierce resist yet?
unholy arrow
silver doubled vel too but damage nerf
....uhh, no, didn't see any pages
There are no page for pierce resist afaik
Yeahh, what it is?
Ares, its weapons, and all of Thanatos' vulnerable segments take reduced damage from most non-minion piercing projectiles. Each hit decreases the damage of the next hit by 12%, until the eighth hit onwards which deal 20% of original damage.
The Leviathan take reduced damage from most non-minion piercing projectiles. Each hit decreases the damage of the next hit by 12%, until the eighth hit onwards which deal 20% of original damage.
Things like this
Ah, got it
so i found out the one of the dev said ranged projectiles sizes are balanced.........
and no update on the suggestion posting........
why no weapon ammo assigning if you introduce convertable weapons? i could have just use the best current ammo, simple, but conficting weapon ammo really stun locked me and makes my heart feels a bit empty
why is it necessary to keep early ranger miserable, every progression matters(projectiles sizes)
this is my first time trying ranger and i almost feel like quitting
As others have mentioned, converting isn't always the best option for a weapon, because a convert can't do everything a specific ammo can do.
i dont think u read my previous comment, its an extremely simple fix by having the option to disable it
So you would rather a player have to go to their settings to disable an option instead of just changing the two ammo slots in their inventory?
'Assigning specific ammo for specific ranged weapons
Some weapons only accept wooden arrows or muskets to convert them into stronger projectiles, while some weapons don't convert, and if you want to use these 2 weapon variation together, you will be in a dilemma of wether to use the weakest ammo for the conversion but makes non-convert weapon useless, or choose the best upgraded ammo currently for non-convert weapons leaving the convert weapons useless.
Game should be able to auto detect wether you have the ammo for convertion in your inventory and will priotize it than other ammo, also add an option to disable it, default should be on '
this is my suggestion posting, what's wrong with it
because the time u dont really want to convert is minimal
if half of the time u dont want to convert than throw away the weapon and use a normal one
why r we talking about convertable weapons like we never want to convert them
like seriouly what is wrong
is it a fashion or what
You're not adressing the fact that it causes an inconvenience that brings the player out of the game.
Because, as said plenty of times before, it can be beneficial.
it causes the maximum convenience and minimal convenience, u can't neglect 90% of convenience just because the 10% exist, without the feature it is 100% inconvinience
It takes barely any time to switch to slots in the inventory.
as said it is only minimal time
u have to open the inventory, switch ammo, and close the inventory during fights
do u think it is fun?
Why would you be doing that during a fight?
do u think switching ammo during battle is better than when u r out of combat?
tell me when would u not want to convert and why would u still use the weapon instead of a non-converting weapon
There's at least different stats
The Ballista is a high damaging bow, but not all players could like using the convert. But if you want to use a high damage, low firerate bow, that is the only on tier option.
would i care about the tiny different and ignore the mechanism introduce by calamity?
that will benefit players from converting most of the times
its like saying i might be on car accident so i never drive
if u can prove that converting is not as good as u said, feel free to post it on balance report and i will be grateful
You're missing my point.
if converting is not as useful as u said, if u r right
@empty nacelle this suggestion makes no sense. if you want to use wooden arrows, just put them at the top of your ammo list. also, this would be fucking annoying if you didnt want conversions
I'm not saying it is always bad, I'm saying it is not always beneficial.
hol up i got access to tiercord im about to blow u away
i never said u said it is always bad, i said it is not as useful
i dont understand
i have to explain again
maybe just read my comment
here
tiercord is people who test weapons and see how easily or quickly they kill a boss.
imagine u want to use 2 weapon for different situation, they both uses arrows as ammo, and 1 convert wooden arrow(the worst arrow) to something good, another 1 doesn't, congrats! u r now in a dilemma and u have to switch ammo every single time u want to use another weapon
that's an ammo hotkeys problem
if u r willing to spend lots of time for testing, i will be glad but dont force urself
whatever the solution is, fix the damn problem
if u have better solution lmk
anyway. weapon kill times! here's a bunch of bows tested by how fast they kill bosses around the time that u obtain it.
weapons with conversions are tested with wooden and special arrows.
wooden arrows are often shittier 
r these every convertible ranged weapons
?
for bows, yes.
there is no point testing non convertible weapons they r completely irrevalant
.... buddy i took screenshots of someone mass testing. just fucking open the picture and read, you'll see the conversion weapons in there

im not trimming every single picture when you have eyeballs.
so point is proven, most of the time u want to convert
MOST OF THE TIME YOU DONT WANT TO CONVERT ARE YOU STUPID
I SAID THAT WOOD IS WORSE
HOW DO YOU GET THE ENTIRE OPPOSITE TAKE
yes. and im saying. the conversion, the wooden arrows, are worse.
you want to NOT use conversion because it SUCKS
but which is for convertion, wooden or special?
we're not here about that. we're here about your sugg
which is flawed in several aspects
1- conversion is often worse than special arrows. dont prioritize something that's worse
2- people dont want to convert a lot, but bc youre playing ranger, arrows often end up in the inventory
3- just stick wooden arrows at the top of your ammo if you want conversion
4- the issue of ranger's ammo not being moveable is already a suggestion in voting
the logic is, when u introduce a new mechanic(convertion), u would want it to work, so i assume most of the times u would want to convert, and because the inability to assign ammo for specific weapon it means that u will have to abandon either weapon and it sucks, but if the stats proven that convertion is worse most of the time, than convertion is currently a lousy mechanic that needs more attention and reworks
then make a thread in #1178515062030348308 , but the suggestion of "prioritise conversion" is just bad.
something that is a balance report shouldnt be a suggestion.
i would change it to fix convertion and (still)priotise it
you are sticking your head in the sand. both me and seeker have explained that prioritising isn't a good idea.
I think its better to stop because this discussion hasnt gone anywhere ever since it started (it did hours ago)
i thought i explained enough, conversion mechanic is flawed, it should get fixed, but the weapon contradiction still exist, priotising is one solution i could think of, and i dont care what solution it is as long as the contradiction is fixed
The suggestion was flagged twice the one in the posting is the third revision lol
hm
tbf typically in terms of balance you want the convert to be stronger, but this suggestion is kinda weird
reminds me of the ammo cycling one lol
it belongs in balance reports, and we already have the ammo cycling in voting
yeah
i dont think the auto detect is the solution but also why are you using a convert bow or convert gun with a non-convert bow or gun
the problem used to be one, and its for suggestion, now its two and the 2nd is for balancing
It has been voted upon, and the devs decided it would be a good idea to implement it. This doesn't guarantee implementation, as plans may change/alternate plans may be made, but it does highly improve chances!
New bot look cools
oh alr

it's still likely, which is crazy since even Reb (developer lmao) stepped in arguing against it
what is the solution then, and why would i not use 2 weapons according to situations
it just happened to be like that
they're gonna add the words "old duke is a draconic offshoot" and leave the rest untouched 
Thatd be hilarious
First off, let me properly explain why conversion is often worse. Conversion, by its nature, is limited in what it can do. I believe the best example we can use for this is Eventide. Eventide's conversion lets it convert wooden arrows into high piercing rainbow arrows. However, you may notice that nearly every boss after Golem are single target orientated. This makes the conversion not very good, simply because it is not suited for the task at hand. On the other hand, something like Icicle Arrows, which excel at single target damage, makes Eventide much stronger. This is why conversions are usually bad, they are just as much one trick ponies as the other arrows. And when a conversion is put into a situation it can't handle, then it is obviously weaker when compared to other ammo options. However, when a convert is put against something it DOES excel at, then it is obviously very good. Just look at Eventide's time against Astrum Deus.
TL;DR: Converts are suited for one thing, just like a specific ammo is suited for one thing.
Onto my next point, on why your suggestion is an awful fix to this problem. Let's say you are off to fight a boss that can only be fought Underground, such as Plantera. Travelling down takes a long time, and you will fight enemies to get to your arena. This means using your weapons. However, using your weapons also means breaking pots. Pots can carry basic ammunition, one of which is the Tungsten Bullet. Tungsten Bullets, due to their nature, are able to be converted just like Musket Balls for guns that use them for conversion. This means that, if you are using a weapon that converts, and you have picked up Tungsten Bullets while travelling, you are now suddenly using those in your fight, with no way to stop that without opening your inventory and tossing them. This issue is also prevelant in Pre-Hardmode, but with bows and Wooden Arrows.
TL;DR: If you pick up convertable ammunition, you have to open your inventory anyway.
LMAO
lmao what
I LOVE DISCORD
and i want to try out different weapons too instead of all convertion or all non converition
this is confusing
It literally lost 1 - 4
sugg bot is SO functional
@empty nacelle Read this.

i need to go pit myself in the shame corner for 10,000 years
also the bot got fixed
pack it up boys we've made a social blunder
and only started sending today

so the response will actually be a day off
lol
incredible
You will be put in the fargo mines
well i deleted the pings at least
For 7 fargo months

i deserve it
i will literally never recover from this embarrassment
I can't believe you would ghost ping people.
STOP IM ALREADY DEAD
wow. ghost pinger
Prepare to be beaned....
if they're dead the only pings they can send are ghost pings smh
🫘
fate worse than death
Sentenced to 1 second in terramain
im glad we had this intermission from wheaks' sugg
is eventide one of the best weapons in the specific progression, and if it sucks against single target with convertion, is there a non convertable weapons that can do the job instead
he doesnt know about class setups
Eventide has a unique way of firing, which may cause people to favour it more than other weapons.
Is it finished?
the old info is usable
no clue
Also a little off topic to ask here but what tier did crystal vile shard get
flar put it at s
it was decent crowd control yea
but we didnt end up adding it bc competition
I was having a blast using it
it kills worms good as expected
so a few people may prefer using a non converted eventide over actual non convertable weapons, and how often does this happen?
ye its fun
just dont try and use it vs prime :(
:(
Right that is next in my to do list
dusa head was also fun
too bad it sucks
dawg i think you're missing something. multiple people are telling you that they prefer unconverted, and that unconverted is better.
your sugg is suggesting prioritising something that is worse.
file a post in #1178515062030348308 , and then when conversion is fixed, come back and suggest it be prioritised. but right now this is a dumb idea
forcing a worse version of a weapon or a version you dont want Is Dumb
Often, because Eventide without converting is comparable to Tsunami. If your first boss after Golem was Empress of Light, it is easily your best option for all things, as long as you use the correct ammo.
they could just add the feature and default it as disabled until convertion is fixed, u missed the point, why would i have to wait to post suggestion
It's probably time to stop
YOU missed the point. multiple times.
you'd wait until conversion is better because forcing it now is a bad idea.
and this goes back to the balancing convertion issue and not much about the priotisation, while poeple are somehow enraged over priotization, maybe someone can have a better suggestion than protising
probably. i have irl to do
You are misunderstanding. There is nothing to "fix". I already explained why sometimes converting is better, and why sometimes it is not.
i gave him numbers and he's still ignoring it
A weapon that converts does not mean you should only be using it to convert.
Conversion is cool and all and if you are casual player playing for visual and doesn't care for performance it should be fine just don't expected it to be as good as meta
your ego is too high and acts like a wall, i dont find it beneficial to talk with u, just like u want to end the conversation, i agree, good luck
Don't answer
lmao my man got flagged by CIT
i alr left the convo why am i bein pingef
ok, im disastified with the mechanic but we will move on
can i put this in my about me
idc
from my experience pre hardmode, convertable weapons without respective ammo is just a prototype with better stats
what happened to moving on
i decided to share my thoughts
task failed successfully
i dont knee down to authority, every human deserves respect, and i have not disrespected a single person here
Well, if you keep going like that it could be considering being disruptive, im just giving you a friendly warning so you dont get in trouble eventually
what emoji do you want, maybe i can spot u
Unfortunately for you, there are moderators who can ban you. There might be times to stand up against them, but this is a silly hill to die on.
They haven't even disrespected you at all
Emote bot
not a big deal for me but u didnt see Flarithen messages 💀
very heartwarming

I mean the worst flari said was call your suggestion dumb, which isnt really bad
Arknights mentioned
hows these
7th one the cat
There's a Grand Canyon-sized gap between heartwarming and offensive. Calling your sugg dumb =/= calling you dumb
i said
- "are you stupid" because you saw me say "wooden arrows make a weapon worse" and somehow went "this proves my point and people want to convert usually"
- "you have your head in the sand" which is a saying for "you are not listening to anything anyone is saying"
- "this sugg is dumb" immediately followed by explaining why
Please drop this already

True
Thx
Ok im gonna say, cryo stone is unironically so good for exploration
ice shield around player
Multiplies ice based debuffs and creates a cryo shield made of spikes around you
It stops enemy movement for a bit when they enter it
And deal damage
im not talking about this phrase
It was really useful on calclones last phase too

may be worth testing for class guides
Drop it
when people misunderstood me i have to explain
hey! everyone who talks about it from this point onward gets a warn! and you already got one wheaks! so move on or you're going to be timed out
One thing i noted btw, is that when calclone enraged and started charging at me, the cryo shield would freeze her
A bit
And stop her from hitting me
oh yeah boss stuns are a thing
even tho i dont want to talk about it
interesting use for it
most bosses arent immune to glacial state
The damage is pretty good and debuff is like 24/s iirc
Thats really good imo because it really saved my fight
theres a hefty cooldown on freezing bosses but they usually arent outright immune
True
tesla potion 2......
Frostbite
-25 HP/s
Quite strong
But yeah its the first time i used it (because of catalyst on my flamethrower only)
It also helps a lot on exploring hardmode jungle
For hearts and such
it would be very funny if new tesla potion accessory and cryo stone got a combo upgrade
someone sugg that rn /j
Because enemies cant touch you and take 8 trillion of your hearts
Shield base damage is 70
Which is decent consider it being accessories and have 100% up time
Also it multiply ice debuff damage
avalanche + cryo stone.....
We should get Heart of the Elements but for "shit that surrounds you and stuns bosses".
lmao
and it's just as bad as hote 
That would probably be mega broken for a few days and then mega nerfed soon after

tbf hote was busted for a hot minute
Avalanche doesn't have damaging debuff iirc
it was just nerfed to be underperforming bc it sucks mechanically
Doesnt the crystals it spawns have a debuff?
Tesla is for Cloudy, Cryo Stone is for Anahita.
Maybe Inferno potion for Brimstone Elemental?
Glacial state is not damaging debuff
Yes frostbite
-25 HP/s
avalanche
@safe pine there's stuff like spooky wood (which is summoner only, outside of the furniture which has no gameplay impact). i always considered solar veils like that.
honestly, then at least give them a furniture impact, Spooky Wood only makes summoner gear but it can replace normal wood in any recipe (and thus I instead just farm it for platforms and such once I can handle a zerg pumpkin mood), and furniture still has its merit for decorators
Solar Veils still have no alternate use, just letting them be an alternate item to Silk in recipes would likely be enough
it just needs something for furniture or a weapon or something small that isn't rogue-only
Wdk we think its fine as is right now
Pitch black furniture would be funny
If you sleep on a solar veil bed you get blindess 
blackout curtains
you may want to include this as part of your sugg, because i wouldnt have thought this idea on my own
alr added it

wishing this sugg well, id like it if cal's materials were more useful
we saw the worst offenders get culled for SSO but there's always more
Me on my way to make one suggestion for every Calamity Crafting Material:
Fr, I'm very much looking forward to the material bloat removal
which others are notable? I can maybe tack them onto the end as a "it applies to these too" or something
i would've said titan heart but i forgot that was used for astrum deus
Blighted Gel, maybe? I believe it only has two unique crafts, one of which is the summon for Slime God. Aside from Sludge Splotch, all other crafting recipes also use Purified Gel.
there's honestly a lot of "middleman" materials
i'm not gonna say those either since those are there for keeping the recipes shorter
Dropped by The Perforators and Hive Mind respectively, to craft their drops.
i dont think any base materials are going to get removed beyong the current wave at the moment
And also the Rogue gloves.
yeah, it's a weird material but not badly implemented imo
its definitely worse than solar veil
most likely ones are like
I wish the new crimson and corruption mats were shimmerable to their counterpart
essence cores
Infected Armour Plating also exists, but I hope the developers know about this.
Its very annoying specially as a ranger to have to make a new world
If i want shadethrower
Or the corruption/crimson glove
these are not a real thing in vanilla
i think
Yes its why is said new
Since they are from cal
theres one for graveyard
like core of sunlight, ice, havoc?
Only for brain and the other one
and there will be one for chlorophyte extractinator if you're for later game convenience
None for the weapons or materials themselves
Though at that point these items will be useless already
Since electricians glove uses either
And shadethrower is uselessby then
no you see evil2 materials are for the new evil3 bosses
meh graveyard works for me
its just shimmer with more steps
(the steps is placing gravestones)
It does but it doesnt converts everything thats my point
oh
Infected Armor Plating doesn't have many recipes but it includes the draedon weapons at that tier, blighted gel is still used by all classes, etc. I do think Blood Sample and Rotten Matter need a change, but that's a different reasoning
Actually, the steps are knowing that Ecto Mist exists.
So true
i thought we were just discussing rotten matter and blood sample
lmao true
I cant get rotten matter from blood samples or vice versa though
Thats what i mean
Even with the graveyard thing
my issue with Solar Veil is that it only crafts rogue gear, at the moment anything else just has to deal with them in their inventory and trash them constantly
So if im a ranger or rogue and want the corruption counterpart while playing crimson, im out of luck
Dropped by Perforators, for Perforator's drops.
And have to make another world
Incredible game design.
even if just "can be used as silk in recipes" or if each other class gets one weapon or it gets replaced or whatever, Solar Veil is bad bacause it's particularly specific
solar veil furniture 🔥
yeah it's.... weird..
TRUE
@distant gyro you said that rotten matter and blood sample will get a graveyard recipe? if not, should i make a sugg for conversions?
You cant shimmer them either btw so as a ranger or rogue i have to make a new world
honestly yeah, that'd be fine for me, so long as they have something else so they aren't near useless
eh i like that you can craft drops. lessens the grind
Solar Veil is needed for Eclipse Glasses or else you die in the Eclipse.
You can just make an artificial biome
non
sugg it is
You don't need a new world
Evil Island <3
blighted gel is only used by all classes because it locks shit that could just be gel this is like the most extreme non argument for its existence
just feels implemented weird for how it's done
I guess true but at that point going to the evil island isnt as fast, so its gonna be just as bothersome as making a new world, but you are correct i forgot about it
A material that only one class needs but still does Something on its own is infinitely better than a material everyone needs and that just doesn't have a reason to exist at all
the equivalent of the spectre bar and the shroomite bar and whatever
I think so
yeah!!! Vanilla does this
I could completely get behind replacing Blood Samples and such with Aerialite, or giving Blood Samples a use in making some aerialite gear
and like god damn what else is beetle husk used in other than the armour
You don't need evil island for an artificial biome, you can buy grass seeds of the opposite evil type from the dryad
Wings.
: )
selling
try to name uses challenge
Also.
Minecart
Oh i forgot about that too lol
Beetle minecart smh my head
Why does Golem of all things drop Beetle Husks?
cool bug collection
Vanilla™️
ask the red from however years ago
im sorery molecart CLEARs
Honestly, using armour themed on Golem sounds much cooler than Beetle armour.
It's so slow tho, so you want another cart to swap it for
lihzahrds grow and eat beetles
We're not giving lac beetles anything fuck off
spectre also makes upgrades to painting materials, I see a lot of people value the Shroomite Digging Claw, both are in Drill Containment Unit, and... yeah Beetle Husks need a better non-melee use than a single minecart
Are you implying that they are putting the exoskeletons of beetles inside the Golem?
Yeah, where else would we put them?
strangely possible
To be fair, shroomite has blocks that are cool, and I feel that's all solar veils need too
beetle juice died for this
Me, when beetle juice (that's tasty as fuck, why was it deleted
):
too good for calamity
what a calamity
That was calamitous
a mod
It's death was deserved and you know it
who wants tile sets? everyone raises hands
who wants to sprite tile sets?
_ _
Vital to the state of the Calamity Mod
but yeah I've gotten Spectre and Shroomite in other runs before, because they at least have an alternate use, and even then they're an optional craft (even if not necessary)
Solar Veil can't be shimmered into anything more useful for non-rogues, nor does it have a use in a summon item or vanity/furniture set or anything
Holy shit, we are complaining about Calamity having a problem with Crafting Materials.
I GENUINELY FORGOT HALF OF THESE EXIST
a lot of them are wing fodders
Yes, vanilla has a unique material for every single wing
or npc junk
added 400+ new items!
Dye ingredients or wing mats do be something
WHAT THE FUCK IS A WORM TOOTH
yes vanilla has a much more rampant material issue people just forgot
Welp, we still want something to drink, you know? 
unholy arrows!!
I THOUGHT THOSE ONLY CAME FROM EOC AND HM POTS??????
Gender change potion
...uhh, what are other things? 
as if people dont just buy them 
annoying that they have so few uses yeah, but they can at least apply to any class
you ..can buy them?
Wait, you can buy them? 
wat.
YOU CAN
WHAT?!
Nanites
YOU are not real
not real gamers
See me knowing this would imply I use ammo other than wooden arrows

no\
N O
💀
I did
one point to raesh
I've played ranger before
I didn't 
In addition to being crafted, Unholy Arrows are dropped by the Eye of Cthulhu in worlds that generated with Corruption. Furthermore, they can be purchased from the Arms Dealer at night for 40 once the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu has been defeated. After activating Hardmode, they become available during the day as well.
People who don't play vanilla r weak
I didn't play ranger either
Please tell me Worm Tooths are used for something else other than Unholy Arrows.
when was this added
incredible
Thorns potion iirc
what.
3DS only
wacky old console
When did they remove em?
Today
1.4.4, apparently.
wasnt it on old mobile and console too
oh
1.0
That makes sense
Are unholy arrows usable?
im going to dead
yeah
Yeah?
slow but piercing arrows right
Those are good, no?
I thought they’re just there to fill up your inventory space and piss you off
same
ok but
unholy arrows are great alternatives to picking up hellfire if you just buy em off
i used to use unholy arrows solely because eoc dropped it
unholy arrows are viable even in hm...
i didnt even know arms dealer sells it
Wooden arrow are there
Also, why ammo takes up my bait slots???
Oh yeah you can put bait in ammo slots
Forgot about that
idk about you but gel and stars will always take up 2 ammo slots no matter what when and where
ok that i know
i keep gel on me because i always make torches until i get to fuckin post ML and have the evil eye
gel + star on ammo slot is like the number 1 tip for beginners
why stars
it drops in your inv all the time
emergency star in a bottle
I love having bottles in my inventory (no)
I wonder how much Soul of Night and Light craft.
A pretty amount, iirc
I disagree, I think they craft an ugly amount.
No, they craft a beatiful amount
Beautiful.
✨
Also, I think this should apply to more things from both Crimson and Corruption
#suggestions-posting message
Can't spell.
My bad
ichor and cursed flame...,,,
Starting to grow fond of that insane idea someone proposed long long ago about having to pass a funny exam before having access to the suggestion channels just because its funny
One weapon, some ammos and a flask.
Also I just realised that Rainbow Rod and Sky Fracture are meant to parallel Onyx Blaster and Spirit Flame.

huh i never really
...huh

Rainbow rod does in no way fill that purpose
The parallel
It doesn't even require light shards
onyx blaster and sky fracture are obviously like, parallels
I assume the comparison being drawn is
Rainbow Rod <-> Spirit Flame
Sky Fracture <-> Onyx Blaster
But those other 2 you just forced in
Because they don't really have anything at all to do with each other
Actually wait.
spirit flame is just the mage weapon to go along forbidden armor
Rainbow rod is an upgrade that needs a mech down
The Bell is a Hardmode crafting material purchased from the Wizard for 1 GC. It is used to the craft the Fairy Bell, a light pet-summoning item.
Fascinating.
This is certainly an item of all time.
Love how the Notes section mentions Whoopie Coushion, but not any of the Guitar items or the Harp.
wizard crafts are very silly lol
Calamity should add an upgrade to the Bell called the Calamity Bell and it does nothing but sound like the tubular bell in the soundfont
TRUE
That's... actually cool
Plz Add Calamity Bell Developers
hey guys im melonlord237 and i was thinkin and wanted to make a suggestion... so i waz dreamin n stuff, thinking about my favv game calamity mod, and was thinking of the sound track and so i thouight it would be cool if you could like make a newe item called the calamity bell and what it would do it would play the bell sound from the calamiyt sound track because it is so iconic and cool anyway i think it should be an endgame item since obviously the bells only appear endgame. it should cost that one bell item from vanilla and ten ashes of anihallity or however you spell it. once xerox gets added u can even put it after him instead! anyways thx u for readingh my suggestion!!!!
Wdk chat we're so deep in hell a Calamity bell item reference doesn't sound that horrible of an idea
I want to make a suggestion that breaks so many rules.
be it on april 1st,
Wan't. Hehe... he.....
Silence.
I'll remember that 
No you won't, you're a Telltale character now.
40 hours ingame of inspecting design choices
"oh look a silly item haha"
Gosh, uhh.... Steve?
We can make a suggestion that breaks every don't (this statement is equivalent to saying I can imagine everything)
Would you say that you
...
...
...
...
are Steve?
just pick common copypastas and rewrite shit so it's directed to something ingame
Bee movie script but with Calamity instead
LTG Ancient Bone Dust didn't die for this
I..... am Steve.
it would be so silly if I did one with the marine corps copypasta
Yharim SHOULD be that woman
Add a Calamity Bell dedicated item for DM Dokuro, and make it an emote in the discord.
Daddy Dokuro, as you all know, is the greatest composer of our time, surpassing Mozart, Drake, Ye, Taylor Swift, and Man on the Internet. It's a crime that he hasn't gotten a dedicated item, this is what we propose it should be:
Calamity Bell (Shadowspec Tier)
Crafted with:
10x Shadowspec Bar
Face Melter
Magic Harp
Anahita's Harpeggio
Rain Song
Ivy
Bell
Drum Set
Belching Saxophone
Also, if Thorium Mod is enabled, it requires every weapon from the bard class.
This item would deal 20000 damage and work as a synthethizer, allowing you to compose any song while attacking, featuring multiple instruments, obviously including the famous bell used in multiple calamity songs.
PS: you should fix the bug where od hasn't been removed from calamity, and buff the summoner class as its too weak rn
we're too tired for anything else
So real
You forgot the part where you introduced yourself at the start, and signed off the suggestion at the end.
sadly it does not include a function involving rubbing your index finger on the trackpad of your laptop in the shape of a dodecahedron
Can I still the idea? 
Also, this still isn't extreme effort.
Actually this is the correct way to activete and play the Theremin instrument inclluding
it is extreme effort w'ere just
turn it into its own class
casually suggesting for it to be a fully functional Synthethizer
Bell class.
hard to do =/= extreme effort in terms of donts
having to include in calamity a bunch of gigabyte's worth of instrument samples, making the ui and then making it usable would definitely make it Extreme effort
That's nothing.
like this isn't "hard to do" this is just stupid
oh wait!
we have to ding dong ditch
actually ender you forgot about one particular Don't
using another current suggestion as a basis
True true
That conversion suggestion is actually great
I'm kinda sick of having to cheat in a Teratoma or a Corruption Renewal (from Fargo) just to kill the Hive Mind on Crimson worlds
I mean, as mentioned there are multiple ways to make an evil biome
so you do not need to cheat anything in or use other mods at all
it's mostly just a convenience sugg
it's possible to make artificial biomes and whatnot. but it's... tedious more than anything
You can get Rotten Brain in Crimson worlds, but the craft is still there
not sure what you mean but im also very tired so maybe my brain is lacking
Rotten Brain is an accessory dropped by The Hive Mind, that is needed for Amalgamated Brain
...or Rotten Brain can be crafted from Bloody Worm Tooth on Tinkerer's Workshop in a graveyard biome
ah. yeah
Pretty much the same with ichor / cursed flames and other evil biome specific items
You can get them, but most of the time it is a little bit too tedious
edited my sugg to point out the brain - tooth thing
tbh in hm ichor/flames are easy, just kill the evil2 boss. they drop it. coincidentally making the summons for the boss requires blood samples or rotten matter. so my sugg solves the ichor/flames conversion issue in a roundabout way that still requires some kinda Gaming
Wait
