Ye people have suggested stuff like cosmolite coins before
I hope something like that gets in
Aw shit
I am fairly new had no idea about it
it’s all good but ye it’s been suggested before
prob one of the most common suggestions apparent from hit counter counter for scal
cosmolite coin 
auric coin 
It’s not a bad idea
Platinum stacks way too easy
Especially for me, humble brag, rune plus deathmode player
Tbh i only wrote it since i had sonething more in mind than just a new coin tier, and that something can be easily implemented
Yep
Why does no one keep the coin gun in mind when making those suggestions?
Doesn’t anyone realize how powerful that gun will get if a new tier is added?
Unless you know, they don’t make it’s damage op
Just dont make that tier an ammo then duh
Then include that
no if it’s a coin then it should be in the coin gun
Yeah that prolly wouldn’t be a good idea here
but i have to star it because requirement
no you don’t iirc
Plus you have yo, y'know shoot it
you don’t have to
, it doesn’t break rules
Coin gun would be the new god weapon
You would have to farm mpney to shoot that thing
Hilarious
It's 100 plats
unless it didnt do a lot of damage
it’d do more than platinum coins for sure, but even coin gun with plat gets outclassed by calamity weapons
Yeah
But damage is multiplied, so a new tier would make it ultra viable
But meh
Just a funny little theory I picked up on
I have an idea: Make a male alternative to the elementals to appeal to the gays and straight girls.
Hmm?
planned(? maybe maybe not) things that I heard about a ways back
Okie dokie
also
A serious chat?
grammar
Me?
nah the image
it's in the suggestion
Evan's pfp is godly
Smh guys talk about my godly pfp in general
Ok
@hybrid cipher
that seems like a meme smh
there will be no accessory to "appeal to the gays"
there are male elementals planned however
I know
that they're planned?
That and it's a stupid idea
I mean would you call it a meme suggestion? This boye doesn’t really seem like he’s meming
For there to be alternatives
then don't suggest it, if you already know it's stupid
there are male alternatives planned? 
Yeah, but the phrasing "to appeal to the gays" is largely a meme
art server cob
smh
Zig's profaned dude
Didn't really that anyone would take it seriously
try to avoid memeing there then
Fine

@violet talon #general-talk
huh?
your suggestion
ok, ill just delete it
to be fair whenever chats in there get “serious” most people say “take that to DM’s, we don’t need these topics in the server” or something along those lines
46 lol
In my experience, the RoD is strange when switching to with mouse wheel, like when using a weapon there’s a strange delay on switching to it
A hot key that teleports you to mouse cursor and gives the debuff if you have the RoD in inventory would be amazing
The delay is there because of the use time of certain weapons
For example Antimateriel rifle
You can't switch out of it that fast because of that
Yeah, and as a mage it’s really infuriating and makes me take unnecessary damage
Because of really high use times on some mage weapons
cough cough LAST PRISM cough cough
imo i would rather have you to be able to combine the RoD with the counter scarf
that might be a little too much late game when you're able to combine their effects instead of having to switch scarf for something else
but i would rather have it in my accessory slot and then use keybind
@ashen warren Luminite?
yeah luminite wha?
You should mention Moon Lord, because you didn't.
You should mention Cosmilite Bars, because you didn't name them.
fixed it
That's not much better but okay
@digital sparrow look up the Discordant Charm/Shades from WeaponOut
Also the Discordant/Chaotic Hook
do devs actually like ever take ideas from suggestions and put them ingame?
mhm
example?
Amalgam, GSS, Reaper claws
reaper claws?
uh
leaks smh
bad mod
what’s this
@a is Alphi btw
now we kno it's a possibility
thank you brrp
ye
claws becomes viable subclass when
maybe if my elemental claws got in we can have exo claws
I notice that a lot of my latest suggestions have gotten lots of stars but no discussion, is that a good thing
Was going to scroll up and star the first suggestion of yours that I saw but I don't see any 
a lot of mine dont get stars because i post it at the wrong time or maybe they're just bad
@ashen warren future bosses will receive their own sprites at some point
This is really just a fantasy, but a really cool rework to Summoner would be if the minions had health and could be attacked/damaged/killed by enemies, giving Summoners something to do besides dodge in a fight.
To compensate, maybe increase the amount of minions you can hold at once.
I actually like the idea of how the summons can get killed
But more minion slots? Don't think it's needed
@lunar dirge erm vanilla already has a ninja belt
Nop' it's named black belt
alright
Twin Crissaegrim
Yes please
@digital saddle Isn't it normal to have to refight bosses to get the materials you need?
yes but plant is kind of absurd
have to fight her several times to get all the loot you probably want
yeah plant drops a painfully low amount of living shards
especially if you wanna make terra ammo and such
i guess another solution is making them craftable
like perennial + life fruit or somethign
Twin crissaegrim looks like a cool idea!
It’ll sorta be like murasama and arkhalis
And I don’t think there’s other weapons that debuff EI frames
Crissaegrim is hot, man.
Couldn’t have said it better
I really appreciate the castlevania gif too, I’m getting some form of nostalgia right now
@slender lichen you gotta put it all in one suggestion or it won't get added
Ah
But I can’t blame you, dessert scourge needs more representation as a boss
😃
I hope devs make the soft boy a pet
he is loveable and kind
and needs love
id wear him everyday
also generally don't space out your messages like that it makes people upset
His mouth would be scarier then a xenomorphs if he was 3D
Habits die hard here
I got it from playing on terraria servers all the time :/
This ones different
pvp mostly
They are pretty strict so be careful about what you say
can i say kneega
No
Anything racially discriminatory is banned
the mods actually aren't that strict they just uphold the rules, some more vigorously than others
Cussing is fine
epic
im gonna try and figure out how to download the mod now
I think I need modbrowser and THEN get the mod file
there's an install guide for calamity specificially pinned in #help-advice-read-pins (and also just check what channel you're in before you post there generally)
looking further there's also a general tmod installation guide pinned further back
Does “increase DoG first phase length” count as a “boss suggestion”? Idk if they mean suggestions for new bosses, or suggestions for bosses in general. I just know one of the two isn’t allowed and I don’t want to break the suggestion rules. (I’m new to this btw if you couldn’t already tell).
I meant how long the fight lasts btw @cyan lagoon. Sorry for being vague. Edited the original suggestion
It means new bosses.
Ok. Thanks
Thanks
Cross-Thorium content 
I like thorium but cross-mod sounds terribad
Actually, cross-mod support with Thorium isn't a bad idea
*looks at soul of terraria
it's not a bad idea I just think there's no way fabsol is even gonna consider doing it
lots and lots and lots of crossmod
Maybe once calamity is finished adding in the major content it plans to add
Imagine Thorium's bosses on Death Mode 
not that hard
that candle is sexy
Polterghast themed zerg candle pls
double range would be nice though
"Upgrade to peace candle which has double range and applies zen buff." or something
Is cross-mod content even going to happen in Calamity?
iirc calamity isnt crossing with thorium atm, but i could be wrong
If you're gonna suggest Bard weapons, you might wanna add what Empowerments each weapon gives.
Yes!
It sorta does, as abyss spawns on dungeon side specifically because of Thorium.
actually no, it spawns like that specifically because fab made it that way so it's compatible with thorium
its not cross-content, its just so the mods dont heck eachother
^ most good mods do this
wait you can actually suggest Thorium-related stuff here?
AHH OH MY GOD
What if the Devourer of Universes summoned more DoUs like the DoG used to
We're not supposed to suggest Future Boss content but goddamnit I need this
Iirc removing iou is already planned
DOU summoning DOG might be interesting
@digital saddle IOU an item is now Pre-WoF instead of Pre-Plantera
However, you still need Living Shards to turn them into weapons
The change isn't documented on the wiki yet, I'll work on
gettin that done
I was about to say
...A role for killing Siren in pre-HM in Death?
That doesn't sound too bad to get...it'll just be an endurance fight.
Still pretty hard 😛
ehh
Halibut Cannon 
^
Yeah that's one of the least-worthy achievements for a role I've heard
how about pre-HM SCal
"ripperless yharon with xeroc"

it's just kinda unnecessary and dumb
What would it do @teal wolf ? For those of us who don't play Gungeon
its an axe guitar that shoots for streams of notes, obv if they added itd only be one
and reloading drops an amp that fires streams in the same direction you are shooting
essentially doubling dps
I just think shredding bosses with a working guitar would be fun
Sounds like something you could craft with The Axe
basically would be a mega harp
It doesn't need to be a legendary weapon to have alt fire
Remember Alpha Ray? Aether's Whisper?
Plasma Rifle?
To be fair AW just changes the dmg type
The other 2 weapons though? Alt fire
It doesn't need to be legendary to have alt fire, so you can remove that part and replace it with like "A part of me really wants a magic weapon similar to the face melter in gungeon. it could also have an alt fire."
We do need more legendries though
^
perforator would make sense since its got some sick metal
also melting faces fits with the crimson
and corr with the theme of acid
it could be a meat guitar
The hallow needs some love though
I feel like pre hm bosses could totally get leggos just theyd potentially be locked to post wof
or something since leggos are real good
Hallow will get love
But srsly, the Hallow doesn't even get love from Vanilla like Corr/crim does
Hallow will get love
Howso?
F for Rylunter
Changed.
what would be a good name for the guitar thingy?
Isn't it Ethereal? Not Etherial?
Changed.
I was thinking some kinda of shredding reference that isnt face melter so it isnt a blatant copy
anyone got an idea for what it could be
ooh it could be crafted from a part dropped by hive mind and a part dropped by perf
since you do have the ability to fight both with calamity
100% pick power is nowhere near enough at that stage
^
triple that and I imagine it would work
Amalgam: Change it so its just everything u crafted into one but then buff everything that you used to craft it lol idk
Supreme Amalgam
Amalgamitas
The true boss.
Supreme Amalgamitas
I mean that's a pretty easy name
Amalgamated Core 🤷
Amalgam's as bad as its sprite 

you saw nothing
I was actually responding to willow but your error did catch my attention before 
@frosty kindle ...I can't help but notice:
"Reduce the DoT of harmful debuffs (except Potion Sickness, Chaos state, Mana sickness, Scarf cooldown, Godslayer cooldown)"
DoT = Damage Over TIme
...?
except
You prolly mean "Reduce the duration"
hm
The amalgam isn’t used to craft anything, is it?
either that, but at the same time i was thinking of reducing damage per tick of harmful debuffs
(e.g godslayer inferno does less damage per tick)
but that would be an ass to code, so i'll change it
Well I mean, it would reduce the damage of DoTs so it's technically right?
What I don't get is why Potion Sickness is included in the "exception" when it already does no DoT
Mhm ye, I understand
I dunno, would my suggestion be an ass to code?
where was it?
Scroll up a little bit
ah, the one with 67 stars?
seems like a good idea
Thanks
Shouldn't be too difficult
Just something I always thought would be pretty cool for the celestial events
I’m no spriter, nor a modder
But I am a dreamer
oooh nice, on the subject of all those calamity-thorium cross-mod ideas I did some designs the other day of some calamity boss bard instruments lol
I don’t have hopes too high, but I can’t help but be encouraged by a seemingly high star count
Considering I posted mine this morning
Cross contents, if even considered at all, have extremely low chances of getting in.
Cross contents require the devs from 2 mods agreeing to working together.
One of my posts got enough, too
It was for new enemies that drop the mech boss souls, which spawn after one of the bosses that also drop it is killed
What is the requirement for even?
tbh i would love a calamity-thorium cross. but it won't happen, seeing as Thorium has taken sides with SacredTools iirc
Their loss
High stars post are more likely to get in, since more stars = more people wants it, which gives more obligation to the devs to add it.
But again, it depends on if the devs like the suggestion. A suggestion that got very high stars, but aren't liked by the devs still most likely wouldn't get in.
So it’s mostly dev bias that wins it over? Understandable
I hope mine at least somewhat appeals to them
^ and even if your suggestion got the ✅ , it only means all/most devs have SEEN it. but might not get into the game
Danny's pinned message explains it very well.
i hope yours DOES get in however, since it has a lot of potential to expand on the othewise BORING lunar event.
People shouldn't worry about whether their suggestion got in or not.
Why worry about something that entirely depends on the choices of the development team?
Just be like "Oh hey, my post 35+ stars, now we'll just have to see whether it gets in or not. If not, oh well."
Oh
370 suggestions.
HOO boy indeed
So only the most crucial, highly voted things are going to be considered and brought in
so why didn't they put the ✅ on each one? 
i wonder 
Is the week old suggestion rule still in play?
i mean it was only introduced recently
wasn't it 1 month? idk
The "can't repost until a week has passed"?
Yes, still in play
o nvm, syg's pinned message
Reminder that the Thorium devs didn't really 'side' with anyone, they just agreed to helping with content for ST.
Nothing stops them from doing the same with Calamity.
oh, right
Abaddon themed Bard weapon or bust

I don’t really see it happening, but it would be pretty nifty
Poor dm dokuro, gonna have to remix for Thorium too😂
Anyways
Hardly
Dokuro won't ever do OST for other mods, unless it's his own mod
Huh
specified in a coffee break video
Never saw that one
If a suggestion doesn’t get talked too much about, is that ok? I read pins and now I’m doubting if a relatively high star count will do it.
Someone please answer I am mentally shackled right now
Shouldn't matter too much
it's not though
But is that even lore freindly?
A mushroom clump with modern ballistic weapons?
It just doesn’t add up to me
does the fungal clump have some sort of tie to the lore?
nope
then it's not a problem
I think it’s just better to say to give the clump a more “shroomite” aesthetic
I think you should make the “upgrade” part a little more specific
Were you aiming for something like a mobile turret?
not quite sure
most of that is left up to the spriters either way
i'd say "cyborg" or "android" though
Well put that in there, give them specific concept to work with
To me it sounds like you’re asking for, let’s say, a shroomite mobile turret that is an upgrade along with the amalgam
I honestly think it could be a cool idea if you flesh it out
It’d be like an accessory slot traded powerful minion
And of course other amalgam bonuses
oh, the draedon's forge thing?
ye
mkay
Seemed like a bug to me
Would be oddly strange if it was intended
I gotta get slep
Night
GNight 👋
(Thanks again pinkie pie 👌)
Yeah, I’ve always thought DoG should be long and hard-ish in phase 1, and phase 2 should be REALLY hard but shortish
I dont think phase 1 is supposed to be hard, more of a warm up for phase 2
about the ceaseless void thing: no, it was dead in under a minute even when i first fought it
What weapons you used?
so that is a bug
ah
It's suppose to take 1 dmg at a time lol
wait no thats only in expert mode
it always has 0 defense, but it has 99% DR in expert
you shouldn't give CV more then 2 damage max per hit
*revengeance
Oh yeah
then how does it acts in normal
^
takes massive damage
that why
to get the hole game you need to play rev/death
Ye
it's not the game it's you
well rip i just wanted to ease my way in and not get instadeadded from every source
¯_(ツ)_/¯
nice
thank You
Boss suggestions aren't accepted if your trying to post that
damn
then maybe let it be a miniboss
or an npc
we need a jungle cybernetical something, except the PBG
you know
plaguebringer
The Mecha Drago from Mother 3
not goliath
Or pretty much any Mother 3 chimera
...So an npc that sells fishing crates...
That literally kills the point of fishing
i love that
Well, Desert/Aquatic Scourge both drop fishing gear, which also ruins the point of fishing outside of crate/potion ingredient gathering itself (the latter is later ruined by Blood Orbs)
Not like supreme fishing station didn't kill 90% of fishing
The scourges drop gear that makes fishing easier , the said npc just needs to be moved through a few houses to get whatever crate ya want, at that point, there would not be a point in fishing
^
I think fishing is just dandy the way it is right now
Lol so true
He did say the name need improvement
Nobody likes him tho
I always burn his voodoo doll the first chance I get to
Because he takes up space
Whether he acknowledges the name flaw or not doesn’t matter, because the npc will attempt to make a core game element lazy and obsolete
But that not saying it can’t be fleshed out with some effort
fishing isn't core though V:
Hardly a core game element when you can completely ignore it without any ill
That and it's one of the weakest implementations of fishing I've ever seen in a game
But it is something many people enjoy within the community
And the point still stands
An npc like that would completely destroy the point of fishing
Let people who don't like fishing spend money on crates then :v
i personally don't care for it, it's a pain to make lakes everywhere
But then what’s the point? Because people who do “enjoy” fishing are in it for the rewards
It would still defeat the purpose
the point is that fishing is vastly boring, yet it's the only other way to get hardmode ores and bars without having to mine for them
both methods to get mythril anvil and adamant forge are tedious
But money is too easy too get in this mod
But I haven’t seen it done to other NPCs yet
because the other NPC's dont really sell anything of value, the only things that pop into my mind are the boss summons (which are cheap for the phm and hm bosses, true) and the minishark, which costs 35 gold for a pre boss item
But it would be easy to balance
Hey, remember how everyone loved the fishing in Breath of Fire 4 despite the rewards being garbage because it was enjoyable?
So it’s vise versa here then?
i dont because bof 4 is a game that is rarely talked about 
Yes, people only fish because of easy loot
Huh
the problem is that it's not even that easy
the time spent on fishing for crates is a lot higher than the time you spend looking for and mining the hard mode ores
not to mention crates can royally fuck you over if you have bad luck
That and Angler deserves to die multiple horrible deaths
Now, if the little bastard handed over crates depending on the difficulty of the fish, he would be awesome
Hell, just make him give you golden crates, you get all the fishing gear from scourge anyway
I always make sure his house is on the bottom
So when blood moon comes around
He is mauled gloriously
You gave him a house? I just gave him a room in the dungeon
Wish you summoned wof with angler voodoo doll tbh
Voodoo dolls for everyone
Poor guide doesn't deserve it
That midget asshole does though
@ashen warren he keeps respawning
All the better to continue the murder with
A grave mistake it was to save him from the sharks
Thought he would be useful
He wasn’t
Like I said, change his drop pool to gold crates
Is there anything you can get from only him in Calamity?
Not that I know of
Just straight-up suggested it. Make him less useless
I'm not, but I have to star it cause I'm CD
While on the subject, how about another crate; extractinator results. Crafted at the extractinator for 50 silt, slush, or fossil, rolls 50 times on the drop table when opened
Something you can rapidly craft and open without holding down the button for 10 minutes
Angler is very very bad design
Fishing in general is a bad mechanic
Slows the game down too much
It is time sink. It's not too bad but it's arrogant for quite a lot of players
Me included
Terraria has terrible pacing in general
ore armors are so useless
like copper - gold
gold armor especially
takes so much work to get
for what
mediocre armor
To be invalidated because you found 150 platinum bars worth of ore
I find myself using Tungsten quite often if i haven't decided to naked dynamite my way to victory against EoW or the like
i straight up skip armor till victide
victide, aerospec, statigel, daedalus, reaver, ataxia
is my usual progression
ie all the modded armors
I only use cactus then straight to evil ore
Tungsten Meteorite/Crimtane Titanium Shroomite Gunner/Illumite (don't judge me i find Calamity not enough) Vortex/Deathwalker Gunner+Rocketeer
tbh once i get Thorium's endgame armor no one set from Calamity quite compares enough for me to sacrifice the bonuses. No fire rate increases, mostly :V
Think i stopped using Calamity armors at God Slayer, using Vanilla or another mod's until then
That's not the only problem, ore itself is imba and makes no sense
This is how much platinum it takes to forge a suit of armor
the devs made a perfect rectangle of how much it was needed and they were like "it's too much. we need to make armors with less ore." the thing they came up with was reducing said rectangle by a grand total of 1 ore 
For a game that has great multiplayer they sure do a lot of shit to discourage it
Well, multiplayer on small worlds, anyways :V
great multiplayer
Haha
Actual gameplay may be fun, but technical realisation...
Btw that broken plates sounds like opposite of what was there before (segments became invisible and took less dmg)
Yeah it did that before and I think it caused issues in MP
@woven salmon dude delete that
Wtf is that last one mate pls
literally said please don't
Sorry
Too late.
Cobalion why did you star the thing that Mrbaws said 
Because it was reayl gud 
but it was a suggestion 
I mean the thing about destroyer probes
I love this server so much
@digital sparrow unfortunately switch delay is a thing, i'd imagine if you could just tp by q there would be none and everyone's consistency increases tenfold
Ooh divine axe seems cool
and if you do have a hotkey that literally functions the same way as switching to rid manually what's the point
Imagine what spriters could do with the divine axe.
It’ll be like the possessed hatchet, but way better
And explodes on impact? Oh boy
i also imagine that mages will get three legendaries while throwers have one and summoners zero

Accessory that applies excess damage to the nearest foe until the excess is depleted, doable?
fab said all classes will get 3 legendaries, that hopefully means all classes
GG
I'm proud of my 10 
and mention that it’s only in hardmode.
but you get souls underground
and yes sorry didn't say it
My one for Angler got 19
@polar grove #suggestions-voting is for posting suggestions only
this channel here is for talking about suggestions
also
SCal hit counter has been suggested many many times
oh sorry
also a scal hit cap ha-
Also another hitcounter
^^^^
i wont
..another hitcounter?
The more we ask the more it gets in the mod 
But if it gets added, won't it get deleted once SCal is no longer a superboss?
Even if it was the case, having it until then wouldn't be too bad
add hit cap mode, across the whole run you can only be hit 10 times
sounds like leviathans kinda thing
Nice meme
counter for hitcap suggestions when
Bro plis i can't even no hit real life
if we hit a certain amount do they just get banned instantly?


@junior tendon what
Sirens are a species :v
but uhh
yeah
shouldn't she have a name
or is it like in potc where they don't have name
well later on she was called Syrena but you know what I mean
we can call her Wilbur


what about nothing, shes off screen most of the time 
just call her "i break the boundaries often"
I already made a DCU upgrade suggestion before
Hec
also LuiAFK improved drill mount is a thing too, but thats a whole other mod
Well fuck me then
Profanity is dropped constantly on this channel.
Insert Christian Minecraft server joke
meta
Oof
Yeah the Luiafk DCU is an absolute terror, it can obliterate an entire screen's worth of material in seconds. It makes the crystyl crusher look like a joke
And that literally cannot be any better
Anyone who would support increasing the auto-spawn thresholds for Eye of Cthulhu to a higher value when on revengeance or death mode?
eye is easy even without an arena
you literally need a hook, double jump and hermes boots along with a half decent weapon
If you get a sandstorm yes he's easy
smh a blizzard in a bottle is more than enough
and exploring the underground ice isn't exactly that difficult past your first few days
and by the time eye spawns naturally you'll atleast have spectre boots if you know what you're doing
making it even easier
so there's no real reason to push the requirement for it to spawn anturally up
Don't you need rocket boots for that?
yes, and goblins are pre-boss
you literally break a shadow orb and have 200 hp
and boom 33% for goblins each dawn
What if yer unlucky and the goblin tinkerer spawns in a dungeon
He despawns eventually anyway
Also the goblin army and EoC both spawn at 200HP (and 10df for EoC)
Was that changed in calamity? Last I checked it was 1/3
iirc it's a 20% chance
although if the official wiki disagrees with me i'm most likely wrong
oh yeah it is 1/3
but the eye also needs 3 npcs
making it easily avoidable
True enough, you can kill off guide and get merchant and nurse
but none of this changes the fact EoC is just walking in one direction
True, it's something you'd have to do on purpose but it works
(Gonna confess, I use cheat sheet to drop several buildings as soon as I start and I wind up with a ton of people within an hour)
Oof
After building multiple houses, castles, forts, and grinders, I've pretty much retired from that
I just make underground boxes
Has anyone done a "blueprint" mod where you can save a building, and have to just fill a chest or whatever with materials to insta-build it?
Basically the paint function but legit
Oh well. Now, I need to sleep an hour ago
sorry, mobile autocorrect
Strange
@vernal sphinx the lure is made of water
it'd make no sense for the lure to not be blue unless it was changed to be an actual, living thing
although yeah it does look super strange at the moment
luckily penelope and gama are working on a resprite for the duo
so it's safe to say it'll also get a resprite
Changing it to be an actual living thing would take nothing more than a slight wiki edit and a color scheme change
suddenly changing it to be alive would make very little sense
It goes along with 'Pearl of Enthrallment'
where did it come from?
why is it helping the duo?
you'd have to answer those
You're enthralling an actual Siren instead of just summoning water
It makes s bit more sense
you're ignoring the lure is an aspect of the fight itself
and it's probably going to stay as water when the resprite and lore rework is done
Ah
the lure is little more than an enchanted glob of water
the pearl of enthrallment is called that because they couldn't find a better name iirc
also go into the art server if you want to see the levi/siren resproots
Cool didn’t see that, was just wondering why they weren’t around while playing yesterday
Yeah they're coming
don't you worry
Is it possible to have the rage/adrenaline bars save their position after you move them?
it saves position for me for some reason
well, not "save" as in permanently save, it just remembers where i put them
that's so completely absurdly vague @ashen warren
smh elaborate your suggestions
i was editing it to be more descriptive
why the heck did you post it if it's not finished smh
you post a fleshed out one or you don't post at all
i'm tempted to get a mod to just delete ngl
Ebicc suggestion
that's like me posting the letter a and then editing an actual post into it later
Big smh.
that's uh, still pretty vague my dude
Why?
Why not?
Enemies don't really spawn with more than 5 npcs around
Idk how it is in your game but i'm getting swarmed
Blood moon?
even if it's not in the blood moon
i can't make moats and walls cause the dumb npcs get stuck
Strays too much from Calamity's usual policy of being a general content mod just with its own lore on top.
It's a more niche concept that would be better off pitched to someone who'd like to code that kind of thing.
it's a QOL addition tbh
A better suggestion would be to boost the damage of npc weapons
It's not really QoL as much as it is a new mechanic that sounds like it'd be difficult to code.
Really?
Also, if you're always getting swarmed by mobs, you have too many content mods stacked in one playthrough.
Well not always, i usually have a couple of zombies attacking me each night
but the thing is, i like building up my base at night
like my main base where i'm safe
Zen potions exist. Those nullify spawns.
I'm a new player so rip
How does that come into play?
New update adds planetoids, one of them has the Alchemy Table within it.
Point void.
Right
does that effect last forever?
10 minutes.
apple
Wait
that was just stated 
I don't run newest update because of the bugs so yea i didn't know
Either way, yeah. Zen potions are easy enough to craft (whether through Blood Orbs or the actual mats) and acquirable pre-boss now, so there's no reason to add that.
Do monsters still attack your town if you're away?
nO
like your npcs
if you knew how spawn mechanics worked you might have been able to make a better suggestion
no need to be condescending 
🐜
How would that make it a "tower defense" game?
otherworld, oh wait...
Giorno stop hurting my feelings.
we don't speak of otherworld anymore
You think I'm not sad either?
no i know you're said
OOF
we are all said
fixed lmao
All enemies despawn when far enough away except for some bosses (lunar pillars, DoG and the like)
most bosses despawn when far away too
"except for some bosses"
All worm bosses never despawn, btw.
how far away? like 1/10 of the map far away?
most bosses follow you tho, atleast when you're at the tier when they're a challenge
Basically offscreen.
how have i never noticed that
Twice or thrice the size of your screen or something
On a 1920x1080 resolution, that is. If you go far away enough from an enemy that it's a bit beyond offscreen, it'll likely despawn.
I abuse that a lot with the luiafk recall

@proven tide This is a meme suggestion.
What

Nah, it's a serious suggestion that serves 0 purpose.
is there even a difference between meme suggestion and joke suggestion
No?
Well, it could be filler for an item that ends up removed without ever being obtainable, like the Red Potion that likely inspired it is.
Syntax Error would be a good candidate even if it doesn't quite meet the criteria.
The Red Potion is a debug item IIRC
That is one of its purposes, yes
Normal/Expert/Rev/Death, presumably
^
No I’m saying why have it last for an hour, you die in a second anyways
And I guess my problem with it is overall I don’t understand why we need it
but uh it’s 3:37 AM for me and I should get some sleep. It’s a cool concept but unnecessary and basically just instant suicide in a bottle
An NPC who you can trade some (more than 1) lores with in exchange for boss summoning items, with a spawn condition of "Defeat at least three bosses that drop lore". Cannot be used to break boss order, so you can't get Cosmic Worm from him until you beat the Sentinels and so on. Sound like an idea?
Vanilla NPCs already do that after you beat the boss for farming purposes.
Besides that, hoarders would get upset for having to trade their precious 1-time items for summoning ones that they can simply craft instead.
Also pointless on the account that Calamity's summoning items aren't hard to farm for. Like, at all.
First is true, second is a personal problem, and it's more "Let's clean up"
Explain your last statement.
It's quite trivial to skip multiple bosses (especially crabulon and desert scourge) if you're an experienced player, especially if their drops aren't of any use to you
...So...?
Makes completionism less tedious
I don't see how the two correlate.
That's a personal problem.
Elaborate on what you mean by that.
Also the simple fact that even with a recipe browser it's a royal pain in the ass to find the summoning item recipes
Boss Checklist.
Trading lore items for boss summoners sound convenient for the lazy people who don’t want to craft the boss summoning items I guess but it sounds...I dunno, a little bit unnecessary? The boss summoners, like Alexis said, aren’t that hard to craft and don’t take that long either.
Doesn't that have problems just now?
Lore items specifically, which are a one-time drop and, unless traded for an endless version of a summoning item, would be pointless.
What do you mean? I don’t see people having problems with finding recipes for boss summoners
Also latest version of Recipe Browser allows for item sorting in the actual recipe tab, allowing you to find summoning items much quicker.
Closest is “what boss do I fight next?” Which again, like Alexis said, can be easily softed with boss checklist
Alright then, didn't know he finally added that
A game — in this case a mod — shouldn't rely on (other, unaffiliated) mods (or outside information sources like wikis) to make necessary mechanics accessible. Yes, after a couple of tries running pure Calamity, you might (after significant time sunk into grinding or pure chance) start to figure out the next boss and then the obscure materials required to summon it, but apart from a couple of vague status messages little is said to indicate which bosses come next and how to summon them.
...A little late for that, vetus
Calamity isn't exactly geared towards newer players, by the by. Fab's stated himself that his mindset is making the mod for players who've played vanilla and are seeking for a greater challenge.
WoT has awoken
Keep memes out of the convo, please.
Either way, I fail to see how this would help.
Also, I'll entertain the idea of 'new players won't know what to do' for a bit and ask you; how did you progress through Terraria the first time you played it? How do you progress through a new mod for the first time? How do you experience any sandbox for the first time?
You take it at your own pace, don't rush and experiment with things in order to find out what's new.
If you're rushing because you're new and want to get to the good stuff right away, that's dumb.
If you're rushing because you've played vanilla but not the mod before, that's dumb.
But the choices are still yours to make anyway.
And if you're going to bring up the point of Recipe Browser again, the Guide exists and you can check him for a vanilla way of learning what to do with what materials.
I didn't have to contend with 4000+ items
And the only bosses in vanilla that need a summoning item are Wall of Flesh, Duke Fishron, and Golem, and only one of them requires any actual hunting. The other two's items are in the immediate area where you fight them.
@oblique plume Future Boss suggestions are being ignorededed as they're still under development.
The currently implemented versions are, from what I can tell, more an experimental concept than the full plans, which are still being worked on.
Desert Scourge. Crabulon. Perfs/Hive Mind. Slime God. Cryogen (Eleum). Hell, Aqua Scourge spawns naturally.
All the materials for their items are in their area of relevance.
Yes, I too love relying on RNG for getting my boss spawns, absolutely.
Seafood.
That's a remark to "and the only bosses in vanilla that need a summoning item"
Oh wait, completely misunderstood that. My bad.
Aqua Scourge is a "rare spawn" my ass. I can't go anywhere near the sulphurous sea without it saying "I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU"
...When did I say that?
You didn't
So why is this relevant?
On the subject of natural spawns
You're not arguing for your own point on that one.
Nope, it's absolutely irrelevant to the current discussion.
As a matter of fact, you're jumping between quite a few of them.
#calamity-mod-talk holy fuCK
We're still arguing about the suggestion.
Would it not be weird to be reading a suggestion discussion and not being able to come to a conclusion because half of the debate is in a different channel?
You're debating bullshit minutiae and semantics, not the suggestion. Please get on-topic. This hurts to look at.
Also the materials being in the location and the item being in the location are two very different things.
It's necessary to come to the conclusion, even if I myself think it's getting out of hand at this point with the hopping between points.
...Well, I suppose I'll move either way until I get a proper response to this issue from the mods.
Popped polyps that turn into swarms of baby blood crawlers 
please no
@ashen warren suggested earlier today and has 70 stars
_> oh
Everyone loves those apparently
Nah I don't
Slimy boi, that suggestion makes sense
But I’m not sure how the balancing would work
Cosmic caffeine
Lul
Devourer of Sleep
Devourer of Ded
what are you two talking about
Devourer of devourers
all 3 of you
A suggestion that isn’t a suggestion
don’t talk in this chat unless it is about a suggestion 
It’s a stick
I'm fairly sure that new perferator lore needs to be written, because it isn't a thing inhabiting BoC's corpse
The crimson absorbs dead stuff and reintegrates it back into something.
Odd.
Just noticed i don't have spriting platoon here.
Both roles were removed, ion
Oh
yes it's old
but it is what i know
This is the perferator hive as it is right now, from what i know.
While the lore states it's a thing inhabiting BoC's corpse, that doesn't make sense.
Because corpses don't just start moving again.
I thought it was the worms that inhabited the brain
And the hive was made out of the brains remains
The key word is inhabiting, BoC's pretty much 100% dead, perfs are just parasites that live in it
Yup.
The real question is why that lore is still canon when nonlinearity is here.
Because no-one's made new lore yet.
Can we suggest new lore?
Yes and no at the same time.
<_< du fuc
You can suggest it, but who's gonna look at it?
Wiki readers?
*wheeze*
afaik that doesn’t break rules
Welp, time to get the idea machine running
Merely suggesting it won't make it canon and it might never see the light of approval.
But sure, go ahead and do your best.
Okek
might wanna put it in a google doc.
Or pastebin
The lore is shit that already happened.
The terrarian just showed up and started throat-stomping everything
y'know, the lore is even more accurate if you look at what speedrunners can do
New Hot Take on Calamity Lore and Gameplay: Enoby Dirknass from fanfiction cult classic My Immortal becomes the new ultra-super-mega boss

These aren’t lore item changes smh
There’s such thing as a wiki where the full lore is stored
The problem with corruption planetoids is that Eater of Worlds will have a lot of problems. He'll spawn and fall straight to earth, and when you pursue he'll despawn
Omfg
Must I repeat myself again?
I don’t agree with the Plague piece and the Ravager piece, but the rest is reasonable
@bitter topaz
why do you disagree with either?
Well, PlagueBringer Goliath and Ravager were built to be post Golem bosses
the Plague enemies being nerfed until it's obvious you've got gear to deal with them is to make exploring the jungle tolerable early-hm
yes, and so was duke fishron
and so was cultist
Duke Fishron is an outlier
yet both of those can be fought early
Is he now?
And Cultist is meant to fight Moon Lord
astrum is intended to be post-plant, yet you can fight it as your second boss
something being "built" to be post-golem is a dumb reason
Plague better be keeped at least till mechs (which kinda fits with your way)
Ravager might be fine but he drops so much shit it's hard to weigh
the whole point of the linearity changes is to take away all of that
the non-linearity changes throw "intended progression" out the window on purpose
Ravager and PlagueBringer Goliath have really op shit tho
