Sounds broken!

#

Let's get it in.

astral gust
#

^^

ashen warren
#

Explosions have dumb immunity frames

wicked swift
#

We should maybe just suggest the bars and let the devs get into the stuff slobbyjoy

ashen warren
#

Only 3/4 will hit a single target

#

pshh i'm always overly specific

wicked swift
ashen warren
#

Because i don't like talking in anything else slobbyjoy

#

And suggestions are important to create a better mod for everyone

#

communism

astral gust
#

isn't the calamity playerbase like mostly rev+ players?
i wouldn't see the god slayer revive thingy work too much with the community

ashen warren
#

Apparently there are a great deal of people who don't even play expert

ruby cobalt
#

The guy's been a brainlet for his entire time here, ignore it.

marsh gust
#

actually, theres a surprising amount that plays normal

ashen warren
#

That shockded me

astral gust
ashen warren
#

hehe i was first

astral gust
#

blasphemy

marsh gust
#

I'm on mobile :c

wicked swift
#

I play expert, because I'm very noob but I find normal not rewarding enough

ashen warren
#

One thing about rev is that it seems harder than it really is

astral gust
#

^

quasi fable
#

What does that name even come from

ashen warren
#

Especially since you get more stuff in rev

quasi fable
#

Supreme fishing bait thing

frail mantle
#

Revengeance

#

when i finish expert SCal i might try rev

astral gust
#

aside from the bosses either being stupid or barely changed, gameplay is literally more rewarding in rev

ruby cobalt
#

I can summarize all difficulties as this:
why are you playing this
baby normal
normal
what the fuck

frail mantle
#

im just sorta afraid of the summoner penalty since i am a summoner

ashen warren
#

N.E.R.D

cyan lagoon
#

If im not wrong potion sickness is hardcoded

#

You cant get rid of the cooldown midway

ashen warren
#

Well damn

astral gust
#

drh what do you think about my shitty suggestion

ashen warren
#

Fucking vanilla code

ruby cobalt
#

which one of them

frail mantle
astral gust
#

literally the only one there

ruby cobalt
#

Yea, I guess its decent.

#

Bags exist, so there's that.

quasi fable
#

Tmodloader is the cause of bad looping right

astral gust
#

claws are pretty dumbo for anything that isn't destroyeder or plant

ruby cobalt
#

I've brought those up so you think about it.

#

They offset their massive speed and damage by having piss-poor range.

astral gust
#

i get that much

ashen warren
#

Tbh can calamity just add multi lure fishing rods?

#

"molten gold fishing dual-hook"

#

Hotline hook + golden fishing hook + idk something

ruby cobalt
#

Just make a universal rod that can fish anywhere from like.

spark flax
#

honestly i play revengeance and deathmode only at this point, they're just more fun

also oof i barely ever post out of suggestion / suggestion discussion because the other chats move too fast for me and here there's always interesting idea discussion so like

ruby cobalt
#

Golden + Fiberglass + Hotline + Fleshcatcher/Fisher of Souls

ashen warren
#

Casts 4 hooks?

ruby cobalt
#

That could work.

#

The only downside is that you need 30 quests done.

ashen warren
#

Honestly i'm pretty certain it would get over 50 stars

#

Can't you get the golden/hotline rod from levi/AS or something?

ruby cobalt
#

I'm also certain nobody will ever sprite it, so it's gonna die at that.

worthy fiber
#

Hotline rod's from Levi, I don't think any boss drops the golden on

ruby cobalt
#

You can get hotline rod from Levi, nothing drops golden rod though.

ashen warren
#

Damn.

#

make it craftable with 1 dirt block

#

Serious recipe: 5 gold bars + 1 forbidden fragment (more gold) + 10 souls of light (for extra shine) + blue string

ruby cobalt
#

Specifically blue string?

ashen warren
#

Yes

ruby cobalt
ashen warren
#

The yoyo thing

ruby cobalt
#

Sure, you can drop it in.

ashen warren
#

i'm a masochist

spark flax
#

good thing gold is obtainable on all worlds from planetoids now :3c

#

(and extractinator and fishing i guess)

ashen warren
#

Tbh HM ores populating the planetoids would be neat on WoF kill

ruby cobalt
#

oh no not more worldgen fuckery

ashen warren
#

There is that.

ruby cobalt
#

It already lags hard enough on a WoF kill.

#

Due to the whole V stripe bullshit and Astral falling in.

ashen warren
#

Perhaps make them un-minable until WoF kill like astrum

#

And have them spawn in on first worldgen

#

Forgot to send that

ruby cobalt
#

Yeah, I got that.

ashen warren
#

That suggestion is.. frankly terrible

ruby cobalt
#

Both of them are.

ashen warren
#

Yea tbh

worthy fiber
#

@frail mantle That's been suggested a buncha times darylsweating

frail mantle
#

Fuk

#

has it been accepted yet tho

ruby cobalt
#

You can guess that from seeing whether it's in the mod.

worthy fiber
quasi fable
#

Astral solution should be lilac solution 😤

quiet abyss
#

....Revives removing buffs/debuffs/potion sickness?
Yeeeee that's going to mess up balance in ways I don't even want to imagine SignusSweating

ruby cobalt
#

First off you can't even remove potion sickness.

frail mantle
#

The only items that give PS immunity are OP items from other mods

quiet abyss
#

Ye, debuffs can't just be "cleansed" I don't think slobbyjoy

ruby cobalt
#

Buff/debuff removing just bashes you with a hammer on your head.

#

No, debuffs can be "cleansed"

#

You give yourself immunity to it for 1 frame.

quiet abyss
#

But...?

#

Is there any catch to it?

ruby cobalt
#

No.

#

It's simple as that - add immunity for 1 frame, remove it immediately.

#

Boom, debuff is gone.

quiet abyss
#

...Even so, it'll still mess up balance so much slobbyjoy
Imagine getting godslayer revive and immediately using omega heal pot

ruby cobalt
#

I already said that you can't remove potion sickness.

#

It's hardcoded to be non-purgeable while it's active.

quiet abyss
#

Oof, sorry, my brain is a bit off today slobbyjoy

ruby cobalt
#

Other debuffs are easy, yeah.

summer charm
#

Lemme just say I fricken love the Titanic idea, to be honest.

astral gust
#

we all do, honestly

lucid oracle
#

You know, wouldn't it be pretty great if Calamity turned into a total overhaul mod? Completely revamped worldgen with it's own world, with it's own custom biomes and re-does vanilla progression with it's own. A completely unrealistic idea, but a cool one.

heavy sundial
#

Hey, who's for the addition of mobs banners to this mod ?

opal barn
#

Already suggested many times Nok

ruby cobalt
#

A lot of people, but ain't happening until they're sprited.

heavy sundial
#

:c

ruby cobalt
#

It's the same for furniture.

#

If someone sprites it and possibly codes it - sure thing, it's getting in instantly.

lucid oracle
#

@ruby cobalt Just a question. How much more likely is it for an idea to get to the devs, if the person suggesting it is able to provide the sprites/code?

ruby cobalt
#

Much more likely, at least in "sprite" case.

#

See: Anaera

#

No guarantees that it will be accepted though.

quiet abyss
#

Unless the sprites/codes are not up to standards, ofc
Though even then, if you provide either of them it'll make it a bit easier to be implemented

lucid oracle
#

No idea who/what that is. I'm not sure what Calamity is coded in though, does tmodloader and Terraria mods also use C#?

ruby cobalt
#

Still C#

#

Nothing ever changed on that part.

astral gust
#

why not go even further with the dried seeker suggestion and give DS a chance to spawn once post skeletron

lucid oracle
#

That's good.

#

It really makes me think when a game coded in something sensible like C++ or C# gets LUA support

ruby cobalt
#

Well, the base is C#, but there's also XNA mixed in.

#

Which has been fucking dead for how long, 2 years now?

#

Actually nah, 5 years.

lucid oracle
#

Not something i've ever touched. I've dabbled in C#, that's about it.

#

Planning on getting into it more, though. Especially since i'm going to be studying comp sci in 2 months

#

I'll think about fucking about with Terraria. At least with Sprites, i'm friends with a couple of decent spriters šŸ˜‚

heavy sundial
#

I'll take a look at some vanilla banners to see if I would be able to Sprite calamity banners...

#

It's only 8 pixel width for 24 pixel height so if I'm able to get the color palet of every mob I could do this in something like, 2 mont if I'm not lazy. Is someone able to code banners here ?

astral gust
#

adrenaline bullet canceling?

#

no fuck that's op

marsh gust
#

we need more worm enemies in desert hahayes

lucid oracle
#

Post moon-lord miniboss šŸ‘€

heavy sundial
#

We need the crawler miniboss someone suggested

lucid oracle
#

A dune reference would be pretty šŸ‘Œ

spark flax
#

angery cnidrion

#

starts spawning after you kill DoG because he's pissed dog hijacked his theme to plug Universal Collapse

ruby cobalt
#

Well yeah, about that suggestion.

#

Pins here.

astral gust
#

alternatives to endothermic/nightmare

ruby cobalt
#

@lucid oracle

wicked swift
#

@lucid oracle checkpins in this channel

#

oof double ping

lucid oracle
#

Ah, bit weird to have them separated.

#

Since that's the channel where it happens

#

I'll revise the suggestion

spark flax
#

yeah for ages "discuss suggestions in discussion first" was also NOT in any main chat suggestion pins as well, which probably didn't help people posting badly thought out suggestions there first

thank fuck that's fixed

Blaze Rocket
Idea: A post moon lord rocket crafted with 5 rocket 3's and Unholy Essence to create 5 at a hardmode forge.
Shot by any launcher and when it explodes leaves behind an AOE explosion that lasts 1-3 seconds

Why should it be implemented: Unholy Essence gets left behind shortly after providence and even then only for the arrows and bullets you make from them
Also there is no upgraded rockets( the bullets and arrows both are upgraded versions of other things)
This way there is an upgraded version of rockets too

hollow shell
#

Sounds good
use them with Blissful Bombardier HDfailure

#

Could use a more unique name though

mystic glade
#

yeah

radiant meadow
#

Or chicken cannon deepthonk

hollow shell
#

Unholy/Profaned Inferno/Blaze

cyan lagoon
#

@ebon mortar please elaborate

ebon mortar
#

Firerate and Damage

hollow shell
#

You gotta include that elaboration in your suggestion and say why it needs to be buffed

#

@ebon mortar

#

also oof @mystic glade
I meant somethin more along the lines of
using either of the left words with either of the right words
like "Profaned Blaze", "Unholy Inferno", etc

#

Sorry if that wasnt clear

#

Blaze Rocket sounds a tad too plain

mystic glade
#

OH

#

that does make more sense

quasi fable
#

Idea: buff/ slight rework of ravager 2nd fight, and REMOVING first fight with him

#

This makes him firmly a post prov boss

#

Same tier as polterghast, and perhapse sole source of bloodstone

#

Ideally killing it would let bloodstone ore spawn in the calamity biome (instead of direct drop) but thats maybe finnicky to code

#

Perhapse even a yharon type deal, where if you "kill" it pre providence it leaves, and then a harder phase 2 after prov

hollow shell
#

Alright.

#

Why tho?

quasi fable
#

More post ml content

#

And ravager will feel less out of placd

#

Right now hes just kinda there, a kickass theme sure but thats it

hollow shell
#

Ok then

quasi fable
#

Its place in the progression is kinda already taken by pbg

radiant meadow
#

More like fishron tbh

#

Pbg is before both in progression

#

Fishron and ravager more of the same tier

hollow shell
#

I would say that post-Golem pre-Cultist is all one tier

#

But alright, moving Ravager sounds interesting
I wonder how many people will support it...

quasi fable
#

Yes but ravager all things considered doesnt really have anything to do there

#

He drops what, one weapon at that point?

#

The red blood upwards thing

#

Let me try to fit it all in one message

hollow shell
#

His accessories are interesting though
and Hematemesis is a good weapon

quasi fable
#

he only drops one or two of the accessories iirc

#

no nevermind, just not the key accessory to assebling core of the blood god

night cradle
#

Technically I think it would make sense.
He would now drop his Expert item directly and you wouldn't have to kill Providence first.

lucid oracle
#

Ravager drops good amounts of materials

neon panther
ruby cobalt
neon panther
#

good pun tbh

#

but not as good as minimasa HyperEthanJudge

lost agate
#

Yeah, but where can you see the name of the full armor set other than wiki?

#

Its unnecesary and bad

radiant meadow
#

At least its getting buffed still kinda bad tbh

sturdy latch
sleek wigeon
#

bloodflare is already fixed isnt it?

ruby cobalt
#

It is fixed.

#

Now it shits on your damage slightly less.

sturdy latch
#

Oh ok

#

github update when or maybe i commit

ashen warren
sturdy latch
#

smh minimodding

#

not update ofc I have it

sleek wigeon
#

Thats not.. minimodding

sturdy latch
#

What I mean is that I'd like to tweak the github for drh's boss guide a bit to make it updated

#

Oh ok

#

Thought it was

#

My bad

worn bay
#

I had an idea for a couple Summoner QoL accessories that could be added together or upgraded into a nice general Summoner buff
The first one would be called Mitosis, not sure how it would be obtained (possibly slime-related). It would make it so any summons you have summon more of themselves to fill out your minion slots. Reason being; it's really annoying as a summoner to have to keep summoning each individual summon, and in multiplayer, it means you're only at peak performance on your firs life, since you have to spend like 30 seconds summoning. This would then have an upgrade:
The next I'm unsure of in terms of it's name or acquisition, but it would increase the damage of your other weapons when attacking something your minions are not. This would hellp combat the hard nerf of summoners in rev+, and would increase crowd control potential for summoners during events where all your summons will be targetting one boss.
Then those two could just be put together with a Pygmy Necklace to give +1 minion, just because as a summoner accessory that's a nice thing to have.

Thoughts? Originally it included an accessory chain that would allow minions to crit and deal knockback, but i thought that would be too OP so i removed it.

sturdy latch
hollow shell
#

@sinful violet You said you were gonna deliver server suggestions to the moderator chat, right?
(If not then, direct me to who will)

#

Also yes yes yes, more summoner stuff is always good

sturdy latch
#

Especially since it's the most neglected class suffering

hollow shell
#

Thrower exists

sturdy latch
#

Wait, did calamity thrower make more use thrower

hollow shell
#

what

tired haven
#

what

alpine garnet
#

english pls suffering

hollow shell
#

more people?

sturdy latch
#

Did it make more people use the throwing class if calamity improved it

alpine garnet
#

ah more people

#

makes sense

sturdy latch
#

damn my implications suck

tired haven
#

Well uh rn thrower is just like summoner except viable because it's not summoner
also, like, there was no thrower in vanilla basically

alpine garnet
#

partially my misinterpreting tbh

hollow shell
#

Uhh yeah I assume so Mik
considering thrower had no content in Hardmode in vanilla Terraria

alpine garnet
#

was worded kinda weird though imo

hollow shell
#

and had no Lunar Pillar representation

#

still doesn't but

ruby cobalt
#

Had no content beyond PHM*

hollow shell
#

it's better than nothing

ruby cobalt
#

That's an accurate representation of what it is in vanilla.

tired haven
#

Worse than summoner but ye

hollow shell
#

Summoner is at least interesting

#

with what little it has

sturdy latch
#

Summoner is good actually

tired haven
#

Summoner at least has hm content to begin with

hollow shell
#

Thrower is lame-o

alpine garnet
#

summoner has the nice advantage of not aiming

#

at least

sturdy latch
#

Just don't hold a non-summoner weapon and YES dodge

hollow shell
#

Only good thing Thrower has going for it are the super fast fadey throwies
i.e. Mycoroot and Cosmic Kunai

tired haven
#

Though I fucking bet if one dares to butcher melee and grab all throwable weps out of it vanilla gets viable throwing class

worn bay
#

Imo, thrower shoud be based on consumables, in the same way that ranger is based on ammo

#

Given them the boomerang weaps just feels like a boneless version of melee

#

Whereas consumable thrower has an actual difference from the other classes

tired haven
#

Honestly if thrower was never meant to be expanded might as well leave it in ranger sub category instead of that appendix

worn bay
#

(melee focuss on high damage and close range or basic projectiles, ranger focuses on using ammo, mage on using mana, and summoner on using summons)

#

thrower should focus on consumable weapons, because as it stands it's just a different way of doing close range or basic projectiles

#

i'm not saying calamity should change that because it's kinda too latae now

#

but if i did a mod like this, that's how i'd handle it

tired haven
#

Throwing is medium range + ammo rn

ruby cobalt
#

You throw a knife. It's glued to your hand. You're sad. Knife's sad. Boss is sad. You decide to sell the knife.

tired haven
#

Though ammo mechanic is underused in calamity itself

worn bay
#

no one uses ammo throwing

ruby cobalt
#

excuse me pitchforks

sturdy latch
#

inb4 you sell all sorts of shit

tired haven
#

Any vanilla throwing is ammo throwing tbf

worn bay
#

if thrower used only ammo throwing, it would be different from range since it would just be using the ammo and not another weapon to use the ammo through, creating a new strategy

#

intead of just being funky melee

#

again, not sayin calamity should change, too late for that

#

but that's just my 2 cents

tired haven
#

Well if it uses ammo won't it be funky ranger then?

worn bay
#

No, since ranger has guns to use the ammo through and thrower doesn't

#

That creates a difference

#

hardmode melee and thrower are vritually the same

#

since hardmode melee has rpojectiles

tired haven
#

That's again calamity representation of throwing
Not vanilla one

radiant meadow
#

I'm pretty sure throwing will never be expanded in Vanilla

worn bay
#

^

tired haven
#

Though I should agree it does look more alike melee than ranger

sturdy latch
#

i have the urge to minimod but I morally must commitn't

ruby cobalt
#

Mingimos banged.

#

Expand the Plague into a spreading biome, kinda like astral infection. This would be a huge undertaking but it would add an actual purpose to the plague besides ā€œoh cool canisters are a thing now also pbgā€

lunar berry
#

hm

#

yes more infection to take care of

sturdy latch
#

Not half bad

worn bay
#

Maybe instead of a spreading biome, it's just a one-time-spawn minibiome in the underground jungle?

sturdy latch
#

Sure

worn bay
#

that way we don't have 4 infections to deal with

sturdy latch
#

Better lol

shadow prism
#

it’s a plague, it has to spread

#

astral doesn’t spread btw

sturdy latch
#

good logic

shadow prism
#

it would still count as jungle so you don’t have to worry about jungle protection

worn bay
#

If it could spread through hallow and corrupiton, that could acutlaly wrook as a way to get your jungle back if either of those wreck it

shadow prism
#

yeah

sleek wigeon
#

Fabsol hates spreading biome

#

Its been said to death at this point but it true

worn bay
#

Rip

lunar berry
#

hmm

#

yees

#

plague converts dirt to mud

worn bay
#

Hey, hallow converts mud to dirt

#

Have the Devil's Devastation used in the Ark of the Cosmos?
It has a similar attack pattern, and the AotC is an Exo-tier weapon but it only has 2 components

lunar berry
#

no it doesn’t

#

evil infection converts mud to dirt

#

hallowed is jungle-friendly

ruby cobalt
#

Hallow doesn't touch jungle.

worn bay
#

oh

#

still

#

corruption does

radiant meadow
#

Isn't Devil's Devistation used in a dev wep?

#

Or am I being dumb

sleek wigeon
#

Corruption cant touch mushroom biome

worn bay
#

It's not

#

It's used in the Gladiator's Soul in fargo's, maybe that's what you're thinking of?

shadow prism
#

devils devastation isn’t a material in calamity

radiant meadow
#

Oh, ok

#

Any other auric weps that use less than 4 weapons?

worn bay
#

Photoviscerator

#

I already sugested adding more to that tho

radiant meadow
#

Oh yeah

shadow prism
#

photo is fine rn

ruby cobalt
#

Well, Photo uses 2, but one of them is a combination of 4.

shadow prism
#

celestus is easier to get than the others iirc

ruby cobalt
#

Besides, there aren't any other flamethrowers that aren't covered by it now LUL

#

Excluding the original one.

worn bay
#

that's used in terra

tired haven
#

Meowthrower and shadethrower

worn bay
#

meow is in elemental

#

elf melter isn't used

#

checkmate atheists

tired haven
ruby cobalt
#

you mean

#

eld meter

radiant meadow
#

And the other brother wep

#

Or overloaded blaster

ruby cobalt
#

Well, overloaded blaster is less of a flamethrower and more of a gel-shotgun.

shadow prism
#

^

#

it’s unique tho

ruby cobalt
#

Flameblaster fits more under grenade launchers.

shadow prism
#

photo is just ā€œanother stream of fireā€

#

for an exo weapon it should at least do something cool

tired haven
#

Exo freeze is cool

ruby cobalt
#

Too bad everything is immune to it LUL

tired haven
#

But it's cool and you can't deny it
If seriously maybe some kind of heatup mechanic? The more you damage target the more it "melts"

shadow prism
#

are BR bosses all immune to it

#

because I remember birb not being immune and a few others

tired haven
#

If they weren't they would frick out, no?

worn bay
#

!wiki exo freeze

red stormBOT
#
Calamity Mod Wiki

Exo Freeze is a debuff that makes the target completely unable to move for its duration. Many enemies are susceptible to this debuff, as well as some bosses. It is inflicted by the Exoblade, Photoviscerator, Subsuming Vortex, Celestus, and Apotheosis.

worn bay
#

there's a list there

tired haven
#

Wait photo already applies it lmao

worn bay
#

some of the choices are weird since by the tiem you're exo-tier you'll just melt those enemies anyway

#

i.e. aquatic scourge, mauler, siren

shadow prism
#

is adult wyrm immune

worn bay
#

Yeet

shadow prism
#

tbh it shouldn’t be

tired haven
#

I feel like there are just all hm-postML calamity (mini)bosses listed

shadow prism
#

yeah basically

tired haven
#

Also weird that vanilla bosses are all not immune then thonk

#

Except destroyer because this fucker is immune to all

plain yoke
#

I'm a bit new to calamity, but there is a accesory that adds vampirism? Just like vampire knives, but it's a accessory. And it has to be balanced, so it should be something like %0.1 vamp.

lost agate
#

@sturdy latch ever read changelogs?

hollow shell
#

Mana Overloader, kinda does that Yzakhar

plain yoke
#

Yeah, but it's only for mages. What I mean is for every class though

tired haven
#

Also for future reference all lifesteal effects are now capped with timeouts so any amount will be basically balanced

plain yoke
#

Oh ok, that's sounds cool in balancing terms

sturdy latch
#

Why yes i do

lost agate
#

Its getting fixed already

#

So you really dont

lucid oracle
#

I feel as if Summoner is a bit... lacking. Equipping a non-summon weapon putting their damage right into the garbage is really hard on them, but at the same time, Summoner just doesn't seem like a good class on it's own. Not in the sense that it performs poorly, but that it lacks a lot of the interaction other classes have.

#

With other classes, you're aiming at things, you're shooting, it's fun. But with summons, it's fire and forget. You don't interact with the class beyond the initial summoning. And while summon + hybrid can be a lot of fun, the extreme penalties make it completely non-viable.

Personally, though, I think the core of the issue is the entire design of summoner. It's not designed to be an interactive class, you don't use your summons like a weapon. They just exist and now they do damage, no input required from the player, but if you wish to do something that requires input, you can no longer use these summons.

sinful violet
#

Yikes, sorry @hollow shell . I haven’t been able to keep track of those.

#

I’ll get on that once I’m out of school

hollow shell
#

Aight

worn bay
#

The interaction of summoner comes from the fact that you don't have to attack and thusly can focus entirely on dodging.

#

It turns boss fights into endurance matches instead of DPS brawls.

radiant meadow
#

Especially prov and polter

shadow prism
#

it was because certain summons are broken as shit if you use them as supports without the nerf

worn bay
#

^

shadow prism
#

like lamps and banshee hook or whatever

radiant meadow
#

Your dps is trash but you can focus on dodging

Immaterializer on prov and polter?

shadow prism
#

immat specifically got nerfed really hard

#

no @gusty geode

#

At dirt? darylsweating

ruby cobalt
#

At dirt.

#

Very good suggestion.

#

Can we not do that in the future, thank you

hollow shell
#

Somebody @ Terry

lucid oracle
#

@worn bay That's not an interaction. You can do this with any other class.

ruby cobalt
#

@ Terry

lucid oracle
#

Summoning and dodging is no harder than using a gun and dodging. Melee is definitely harder depending on the weapon, given where they tend to be.

shadow prism
#

yeah it is lol

#

you have to aim stuff

worn bay
#

^

#

With summoner there is no aiming, you just move

#

That's a massive difference

shadow prism
#

you have to something other than touch movement keys

lucid oracle
#

And these are two things you can do independently, doing one doesn't impact the other.

hollow shell
#

Uhhh

#

I dont think that's how brains work

ashen warren
#

The real shit is that you don't need to switch to RoD

#

You can just camp RoD

worn bay
#

What are you talking about? I absolutely take way more damage while focusing on an enemy than i do when trying to dodge

lucid oracle
#

At best I'll concede it's a skill/practice issue.

#

But that wasn't the point, this entire line of discussion has been a tangent.

ashen warren
#

Saying that summoner has no interaction is false

lucid oracle
#

Sorry you need to click to summon your summons

ashen warren
#

It may not be good interaction but it has interaction

lucid oracle
#

That's a bit pedantic, but yes, I agree.

radiant meadow
#

resummon tactics are a thing in earlier stages as well

ashen warren
#

The entire appeal (afaik) is that it's good for turning terraria into touhou

radiant meadow
#

sentry spam can also help

lucid oracle
#

Touhou still requires proper positioning and shooting at the boss, though

#

Unless you're aiming to timeout

ashen warren
#

You haven't done a pacifist touhou run?

#

Or played shoot the bullet?

lucid oracle
#

Doesn't really appeal to me

#

I have not.

ashen warren
#

Shoot the bullet is one of my favs

#

You use a camera

lucid oracle
#

EoSD for me, but this is offtopic

ashen warren
#

Yer

shadow prism
#

A sword in the same vein as apoth and dratal made from exoblade, briny baron, dragon rage, holy collider, 3 banshee hooks, 2 ghoulish gougers, 2 ethereal subjugators, 6 afflictions, 66 nightmare fuel, 66 endothermic energy, 66 ruinous souls and 66 bloodstone cores.

It’s a polter-themed sword whose left click is a regular true melee swing with massive range, each hit summons a group of homing phantoms. Every consecutive hit with the left click buffs the phantoms a little until the cap out. Right click rapidly fires a barrage of skulls that explode on enemy contact and leave behind damaging soul dust.

This style of weapon might be reserved for devs so idk.

quasi fable
ashen warren
#

I believe (terry is it?) is the only one who can make those

lucid oracle
#

But, my main point was that the class lacks one thing every other class already has. A way to use the class and have a fun form of interaction with the summons, rather than fire and forget gameplay.

worn bay
#

Yeah that style is reserved for ap rize

#

*prize

lucid oracle
#

With say, ranger, you have a choice between using the homing bullets (Although I will argue that even homing bullets are more interactive and fun than summoner), or most of the other bullet types.

radiant meadow
#

apoth was a spears hardcore doggo speedrun reward iirc and drat is ut reward

lucid oracle
#

I'm not advocating the removal of the current summoner gameplay, just that the class has a very specific playstyle that conflicts with what people play other classes for.

ashen warren
#

While throwing and then melee are my 2 favourite classes

worn bay
#

And?

#

What's the issue there?

ashen warren
#

Summon would be an easy third if it weren't for the ai

#

Summon ais are aaaaaasssssssssssss

lucid oracle
#

There's a good appeal with the class, it's fun. I like summoners in games, they're usually great. But here, you don't play summoner. You turn on the damage, and then you wait for the boss to die + doing what you do with other classes (not dying)

#

You don't get to interact with the class itself.

ashen warren
#

How would you change summoner without just giving them mage weapons that deal summon damage?

worn bay
#

^

#

ANy idea i've had for a summoner weapon becomes taht

radiant meadow
#

the closest you can get to spamming a weapon with summons is marked magnum spam

lucid oracle
#

I'm not sure. That's definitely something that needs to be thought about and discussed. But that also needs to come after recognizing and discussing the class as it currently is.

radiant meadow
#

or sentry spam

ashen warren
#

Well we're discussing it now

radiant meadow
#

lunic eye and golden gun i frames bad

lucid oracle
#

true

#

I haven't slept for 3 days and i'm trying to avoid any intensive thinking GWmemetownOMEGALUL, I'll probably be able to draft up some ideas and present them at a later date

#

But right now unlikely.

lucid marsh
#

Dude
Sleep

lucid oracle
#

I will be soon

worn bay
#

My only idea would be something like a sword that floats by you, and attacks on its own, but only in melee range

lucid oracle
#

It's 8AM and the temp for today is probably going to get near 40C

ashen warren
#

3 days is unhealthy af

lucid oracle
#

and i'd rather sleep through it

lucid marsh
#

A week can literally kill you

lucid oracle
#

Thanks for being concerned about my health, but I know what I'm doing.

ashen warren
#

About summoner interactivity

#

A fair few mods add a sort of "banner" or something similar that improves minion damage and allows you to select targets

#

People have also suggested minion teleporters that teleport all minions to cursor

lucid oracle
#

yeah, those are okay.

ashen warren
#

Why not have minions that you direct?

#

Like some sort of general or whatever

radiant meadow
#

Could be like a temporary summon type weapon

ashen warren
#

Kinda like the stardust armor I spose

radiant meadow
#

like Thorium's snowman bomber thingies

ashen warren
#

I should play thorium again tbh

#

Haven't since like a year ago

lucid oracle
#

I think a good solution would be to split summoner weapons up into three specific sub-categories. Hybrid, where the minions are designed to be used with other classes and don't suffer the insane penalties, but are less powerful as a result. The current where they're powerful in their own right but incur heavy penalties when attempting to use other weapons. And pure summoner that has large amounts of player interaction like other classes.

Hybrid would be easy, it's barely any different from what we've got currently. What we've got currently... well, we already have it. It's the last one that'll be tricky as mentioned before.

#

It gives players a variety in play style while still being able to use the class.

radiant meadow
#

Pure summoner in itself is split into many categories

lucid oracle
#

While not necessarily wrong, I will disagree on the fact that the overall gameplay tends to be similar between them.

radiant meadow
#

As of now, there's resummon spam and sentry spam
Other possibilities are banner-type stuff, minion teleporting, and temporary summons

#

and minion targeting I guess

#

but these tend to get irrelevant in the later game

ashen warren
#

The problem with sentries is that they are really non-viable post-prov

lucid oracle
#

Sentry summons are no different from normal summons, in terms of use. You summon it. It attacks.

ashen warren
#

It restricts your movement too much

radiant meadow
#

yeah, having more sentries would help

#

well, some are different

#

like ballista sentries

lucid oracle
#

That's the DD2 crossover right?

radiant meadow
#

the main tactic for those is to constantly summon spam them

#

yeah

lucid oracle
#

I'll be honest I don't think of summon spam as a legitimate tactic

radiant meadow
#

doesn't work on hydra, ml summons, or energy staff though

gusty geode
#

What I don't get is why we need to be pure summoner at all
Vanilla encourages multi-classing, but Calamity punishes you for it

lucid oracle
#

You're bypassing cooldowns that are built into it

radiant meadow
#

🤷 people do it all the time

ashen warren
#

Because multi-classing is op as fuck

#

Calamity is about difficulty

lucid oracle
#

That's why I proposed to design a specific subset of summons specifically for that.

#

Ones that can be balanced specifically for that use-case

ruby cobalt
#

Vanilla encourages multiclassing, and then shoves up approximately 10 armor sets into a timeframe of 2.5 bosses.

#

Think about it.

ashen warren
#

tbh vanilla doesn't know what it's doing sometimes

lucid oracle
#

I can't comment much on vanilla, it's been a very long time since i've played it

#

Plus Calamity is just more fun thonk

gusty geode
#

I read a guide on how to play each class, and it said that no matter what class you play you should always have a melee weapon and a minion on call, just in case
Calamity doesn't even allow that

lucid oracle
#

What do you mean it doesn't allow that? Nothing prevents such a thing.

#

Although it's definitely not needed.

radiant meadow
#

melee weapon?

#

you mean in case you run out of ammo or mana? thonk

worn bay
#

Yea

ashen warren
#

Calamity doesn't allow that only in that calamity gives absurd mana regen and really easy to get ammo

lucid oracle
#

also

#

mana flower

#

It's a thing that exists

radiant meadow
#

not to mention melee weapons will be weak w/o having armor and accessories for it

alpine garnet
#

multiclassing is already great thonk

lucid oracle
#

Well a weak weapon is better than no weapon i guess

#

But proper preparation guarantees you won't ever have this issue

alpine garnet
#

it's "free" extra dps anyway

#

especially later on when demonshade gives you a free cosmic

radiant meadow
#

is a free cosmic better than a long mechworm with the nerf to immaterializer?

worn bay
#

what was the immat nerf again?

radiant meadow
#

or 2 free yharons (and 2 calamaris)

alpine garnet
#

tbh I should test that

gusty geode
#

Sometimes an enemy gets too close to get away from, even when RoDing
To compensate for the inevitable damage, it'd be smart to use a melee to get your own damage in when ranged weapons won't make a difference

radiant meadow
#

it does less dmg when holding non summon weps on top of the rev+ summoner nerf

#

free ichor I guess

alpine garnet
#

cosmic gives you bonus of less damage from projectiles (more reason multiclass is good)

#

multiclass is already good is my main point tho

lucid oracle
#

@ashen warren Anyway, at some point in the future I'll come back here with some ideas on pure summoner weapons that require interaction with the class, as opposed to current gameplay. But I do think summons designed specifically with hybrid in mind would be a good idea

alpine garnet
#

since you can use the best weapon for every boss

#

and most bosses have at least one weapon that works really well on them

#

since not everything is perfectly balanced

lucid oracle
#

Although, to prevent hybrid summoner becoming just free extra DPS, it would have some sort of equipment gate to actually start using it. Either in the form of armor or accessories

ashen warren
#

And I agree it's just that you were talking concepts instead of ideas slobbyjoy

lucid oracle
#

Nothing wrong with talking about concepts

ashen warren
#

"Sometimes an enemy gets too close to get away from, even when RoDing" what game are you playing?

#

RoD is easy dodge mode

lucid oracle
#

But... you can use ranged weapons at melee range

#

Why would you switch from ranged (your main DPS in this scenario) to melee, just because they are close?

radiant meadow
#

you wouldn't?

lucid oracle
#

Well yes this is the point i'm trying to make

ashen warren
#

Exactly

gusty geode
#

A lot of melee weapons could net higher dps while you try to escape
Like that one Cosmolite spear that ignores i-frames
Cosmic Discharge, was it?

radiant meadow
#

no

lucid oracle
#

I want you to explain your reasoning.

radiant meadow
#

stream gouge

lucid oracle
#

How do you maximize your DPS with a weapon you haven't built for?

#

What in this scenario affects your DPS?

radiant meadow
#

but even then, sticking to the phangasm is probably a better idea

ashen warren
#

As I said before: Calamity only "stops" use of such things by making your main dps more reliable

#

Not by nerfing but by buffing

#

And some ranged weapons are stronger from melee range anyway

#

There's less than 0 of a point

lucid oracle
#

Not really important here

ashen warren
#

The point being: Stronger ranged weapon which is.. you know.. ranged or weaker melee weapon that doesn't activate elemental quiver or other such things?

#

I know which I'd pick

lucid oracle
#

@gusty geode Since I'm not getting an answer,

#

I'll just go ahead and say what I was going to say after you responded

gusty geode
#

Sry, but busy

ashen warren
#

sure

lucid oracle
#

You're not going to be in a situation where you will get higher DPS out of a weapon you haven't built for. If you're a ranger in melee range, your ranged weapon is still going to be just as powerful as it was when you were further away, probably. I think there's a few exceptions to this, but those aren't the general rule.

#

And if that weapon did do higher DPS

#

Then my question is, why aren't you using it anyway

#

(also it's probably an OP weapon if it does more damage than a weapon you built for. See halibut)

gusty geode
#

The reason I'd use a melee is because, while maybe the dps would be a downgrade, you may still get bonus effects from weapons that aren't your class that you wouldn't otherwise
A bit distracted so I can't think of any offhand, but still

#

Ok, thinking about it a bit more, I can't see using a melee in a non-melee playthrough, but aren't there non-melee weapons that are part of the melee meta?
Golden Shower and its upgrade who's name I can't remember, as an example?

ruby cobalt
#

Everglade?

#

Ichor Flask exists.

lucid oracle
#

But why do you want those bonus affects?

#

You built for your non-melee class, your bonuses are geared towards that class.

#

Once you switch to melee, you lose every single bonus you have.

ashen warren
#

Everglade is kinda a tool tbh

#

Like golden gun and whatnot

plush remnant
#

I think my FTL Hook is my best recieved suggestion so far.
Nice.

hollow shell
#

@lunar berry Put a hyphen between the first "All" and "class", and probably have it say "should remove" instead of just "remove"
I thought you meant the opposite of what you actually meant sweating

lunar berry
#

Done

lucid oracle
#

@plush remnant I mean, it's a good niche for a hook. I'd like to see it, as long as it had normal hook functionallity when it's special is on CD

#

Or had long range to offset the fact it's now useless for a bit

ashen warren
#

It does

hollow shell
#

ack

lunar berry
#

I just edited it 3 times

gusty geode
#

I was actually going to comment on Flasks existing

hollow shell
#

Aight lol it's good now

ashen warren
#

"Hooking to a tile with this hook equipped applies the Destabilized debuff for a short time, with the tooltip "Your body feels slightly phased out of reality", which causes the FTL Hook to function as a normal hook until the debuff wears off."

lucid oracle
#

It got edited I think šŸ‘€

ashen warren
#

Yea like yesterday

gusty geode
#

This is actually proving my original point
There is no reason to play multi-class because focusing on a single class is so much better, and I believe it should be a viable option to be able to play no class in particular

lucid oracle
#

No one argued otherwise.

ashen warren
#

The part i was disputing was "Calamity doesn't even allow that"

#

It does

lucid oracle
#

Although melee does have a lot of crossover with ranged classes already.

ashen warren
#

Very much so

lucid oracle
#

Given that 80% of the swords have some form of long ranged or magic-looking attack

ashen warren
#

Melee is just ranged with no ammo and higher def

lucid oracle
#

It's just counted as melee damage

ashen warren
#

and i still like it

gusty geode
#

I got a bit lost, sry
And I was mostly referring to how on Rev+ you can't use summons on other classes
Also yes, melee is basically ranged and true melee weapons tend to be a lot worse

plush remnant
#

Yeah, I try to edit suggestions as people here critique them.

lucid oracle
#

True melee does need work

#

My opinions on summoner are already known

#

Mage and ranger are well designed classes, although some of the weapons are a bit šŸ‘€

ashen warren
#

Summoner shouldn't be hybrid tbh

plush remnant
#

So if you want to star my hook and didn't like the old version, do it now.

ashen warren
#

It's a neat concept but if you were able to "command" your minions or something then that would be a lot more interesting

lucid oracle
#

I don't see why you should limit it. There's no reason it shouldn't be hybrid. Just as there's no reason there should. Players shouldn't be forced into either or, why not give them the option to play as they please?

#

As long as their playstyle doesn't break progression or intended balance

ashen warren
#

Eh

#

I always play games in extremes

#

No-jump challenges and whatnot

lucid oracle
#

I don't see how this is relevant

ashen warren
#

Only 1 class slobbyjoy

lucid oracle
ashen warren
#

I pick a class before I even make a character then bin all other items I aquire

lucid oracle
#

I do things that are fun

if it looks cool and it's fun to use ( and doesn't suck dick )

#

it meets all criteria

ashen warren
#

That's how I have fun ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

#

I like being tortured

lunar berry
#

I normally just go with th flow on classes in prehm

lucid oracle
#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

lunar berry
#

Like

#

I did throwing for pretty much all of prehm and dint even realize

ashen warren
#

and astral

lunar berry
#

The only things i didnt do throwing was Scourge (ranged) and WoF (magic)

ruby cobalt
#

@keen onyx it's hardcoded, sorry.

keen onyx
#

Ack. okay.

ruby cobalt
#

Or at least that was what I heard.

lunar berry
#

Then how did begone evil work

lucid oracle
#

That's a weird thing to have hardcoded

ashen warren
#

Reduce it down to like.. one block every 20 ingame days or something?

keen onyx
#

Well if at all possible, I suppose

lunar berry
plush remnant
#

Should I make something based on Prov/the Profaned Guardians next? I've been floating a few ideas in my head lately.

ruby cobalt
#

Well ye, reductions are hardcoded for sure.

ashen warren
#

"That's a weird thing to have hardcoded" vanilla is stupid

keen onyx
#

I think it should be reduced to the point where it's nearly undetectable then at least

ashen warren
#

Wrong chat? @pliant bone

pliant bone
#

Oops

#

Errr thanks anyway

hollow shell
#

I mean, it's not impossible to overwrite something hard-coded

It just sucks

lunar berry
#

Can’t you just slow it down or

ruby cobalt
#

You have to go through a painful journey of rewriting all of it.

ashen warren
#

@plush remnant I personally feel providence is fine with the items and whatever they have but you don't need to ask permission

lunar berry
#

Oh

ashen warren
#

Calamity should just be a full new and independant game

#

Unfortunately all this work would then go down the drain

lunar berry
#

Can’t use just use the same programming language

lucid oracle
#

@hollow shell I have to ask though, how exactly is it hard coded? I can't imagine (Or at least I wish I couldn't) that it would affect any modded blocks with their own custom interactions

lunar berry
#

And copy paste some of it

ashen warren
#

@lunar berry lolwut

gusty geode
#

How many multi-class armor sets are there, anyway

lunar berry
#

If you use the same programming language as terraria

ashen warren
#

"copy paste" thanks for the laugh

lucid oracle
#

That was a horrible sentence and I feel bad for writing it

lunar berry
#

Add some extra code for the mechanics

hollow shell
#

Admittedly I'm not sure, I haven't looked into it
(even if I did, I wouldn't know what I was looking at or for)

lucid oracle
#

That's fair

#

@lunar berry While possible, in practice it can be hard to do.

lunar berry
#

Yeah well coding a game isnt exactly easy

lucid oracle
#

I'm not well versed in tModLoader and how accessible it makes the game, but for the most part things can be, er... hard to interact with.

gusty geode
#

Ones I can name are Crimtane and maybe the Hardmode ore sets
Ataxia might also be it but I saw a lot of suggestions to change that

lucid oracle
#

In an ideal world it would be a very easy thing to change

ashen warren
#

Hm ores are the first multi helmet armors

plush remnant
#

TBH, I feel like Prov needs a bit more love. There isn't a lot of Providence based content, imo.

lunar berry
#

Just steal terraria code and change it so it doesnt look like you copied

lucid oracle
#

that's not how it works at all

lunar berry
ashen warren
#

"Just steal terraria code and change it so it doesnt look like you copied"

lunar berry
#

It was a joke

lucid oracle
#

You should consider a different career

ashen warren
#

fuckin dmca'd

plush remnant
#

There's a decent amount of Profaned based stuff, but Providence doesn't have that much.

gusty geode
#

I might post some of the ideas I don't currently have for all-class gear soon

lunar berry
#

Is tehre profaned furniture

hollow shell
#

I don't think that's how it works, Sequence/``/canttellifimdummy

#

Plenty of mods including Calamity use Terraria code because they're freaking mods for Terraria

lunar berry
#

Also

ashen warren
#

If you copied the code and made a new game that's separate you would get legal issues

lunar berry
#

Why do the guardians have icons in boss rush

plush remnant
#

Yeah, there's Profaned furniture.

ashen warren
#

Especially since calamity makes money

lunar berry
#

But not normal

#

L

hollow shell
#

They do have icons in normal.

lucid oracle
#

Plus stealing code can be pretty... hard to justify that it's stolen? I'm not sure how to word it

plush remnant
#

And Cosmilite furniture as well

lucid oracle
#

But for a lot of things, that's just the way you do things

lunar berry
#

Not normally*

#

Like wen you fight them

hollow shell
#

Yes

#

They do

ashen warren
#

Stealing code is "scummy"

Well if it doesn't look like you copied it, then you didn't copy it

That's like tracing art wtf is wrong with you

I need to do another playthrough with the new update, as per my usual tradition.

I want to bask in the glory of the Astral Aureus.

hollow shell

Lol the updated map icon has been in for months

lunar berry
#

Lol just say that terraria code ā€˜inspired’ me to make similar code lol

lucid oracle
#

Stealing code is just a whacky subject

lunar berry
#

No copyright

lucid oracle
#

Especially since things can look very similar in different examples

plush remnant
#

Lol, don't mind my stupidity

ashen warren
#

If you take someone's creative work and pass it as your own and make money off it

You. Are. Scum.

lunar berry
#

I said

#

Modified it

ashen warren
#

At that point there is literally no reason

lunar berry
#

Well you cant fucking copy directly and say ā€˜o yea its mine’

lucid oracle
#

@ashen warren Pretty sure you're both talking about two entirely different things

ashen warren
#

You would need to redo all the code anyway

lucid oracle
#

and at least one of you has no idea what you're talking about

#

(also this is off topic at this point?)

lunar berry
#

I have taken inspiration from other pieces of code

plush remnant
#

I just had an idea for Profaned Armor.
It could be an all class or summoner specific sidegrade to Tarragon. It's set bonus would be to summon 3 mini Profaned Guardians.

lunar berry
#

But not copied

plush remnant
#

Should I flesh this idea out, or is it bad?

lucid oracle
#

Any idea is bad if you don't flesh it out.

plush remnant
#

Correction.
Would you guys want to see an armor set like this?

ashen warren

Just double checking, I shouldn't be providing precise stats for the armor, correct?

lucid oracle
#

Give it more arrows if you use anything other than jester

ashen warren
#

No precise stats but you can do set bonus'

plush remnant
#

Alrighty, thanks. birblove

lucid oracle
#

@plush remnant From what I understand, precise is a no-go but general position or a range of stats to give a general idea of where it'll be in progression is fine

plush remnant

šŸ‘Œ

quasi fable
#

Hmm i had another weird idea

#

What if cosmilite ore was a tging in the new fsncy astral biome

ashen warren
#

Astrum =/= DoG

#

I think DoG actually fucked up astrums day or something in the lore

#

Probably wrong though

lucid oracle
#

You know

#

Isn't it weird that something called the Devourer of Gods isn't the supreme end game boss?

#

Like that dude devours gods he doesn't mess around

#

But some eyeball is stronger

lunar berry
#

DoG ate astrum

ashen warren
#

And moreover, one of the bosses after it is in fact, a god.

lucid oracle
#

(a very cool eyeball)

ashen warren
#

And a chicken nugget is?

graceful urchin
#

astrum DEUS

#

deus basically means god

quasi fable
#

Who would win?
A literal devourer of gods
A chicken

graceful urchin
#

a jungle dragon

wind flicker
#

a metal eye with evil death powers

ashen warren
#

He's a chicken nugget

lunar berry
#

Some weird eye

lucid oracle
#

imagine

#

if the devourer of gods came back but stronger

quasi fable
#

What if dog ate the xeroc guy

lucid oracle
#

except it's a forced cutscene

#

and you get devoured

graceful urchin
#

yea buff DoG again imo its still too kinda easy

ashen warren
#

..Why?

lucid oracle
#

queue the opening to Calamity 2

#

now in... space? The realm where gods get devoured?

graceful urchin
#

make dog only able to take a maximum amount of dmg

#

ez

#

in 1 attack

ashen warren
#

DoG can only be damaged by copper shortsword

#

DoG finally hard

#

please don't do that

lucid oracle
#

DoG can only be damaged by you transforming into him but stronger

#

The DoD

graceful urchin
#

devourer of dads

lucid oracle
#

Not where I was going with that but i'll allow it

ashen warren
#

The Devourer of the devourer of gods

#

perfection

#

You transform into a giant cosmilite bird

graceful urchin
#

bumblebird is honestly the hardest boss in the game

lunar berry
#

Yeah

graceful urchin
#

or birb

lunar berry
#

It is isnt it

graceful urchin
#

we ned to discuss to buff him even more

lunar berry
#

I hope that was a joke

#

Bumblebirb is a joke

#

Bumblebirb dies in 2 mins

graceful urchin
#

bumblebirb is easy if you have good gear

#

or prepared

ashen warren
#

Every boss is easy with good gear smh

#

Just remove gear

#

Problem solved

graceful urchin
#

but honeslty

#

dog really needs a buff

#

im actually serious

lost agate
#

Meh

#

Its good rn

ashen warren
#

Bring back the 2 DoGs at once thing

#

That shit was fun

lost agate
#

NO

graceful urchin
#

make devourer of thots spawn in expert too

ashen warren
#

I'm dead serious

hasty wigeon
#

Devourers of Gods?

lost agate
graceful urchin
#

or make DoG a random spawn anytime night or day comes

lunar berry
#

Make a mod that instantly kills you when you’re alive

graceful urchin
#

when u defeat providence or all the sentinels

#

wtf

#

my message double

#

so dog will kill you for being bad and not defeating him yet

lost agate
#

Laser walls now are rather random, thats enough of a buff for me

lunar berry
#

1/100000 chance every frame for it to spawn

hasty wigeon
#

Laser Walls are most dangerous part

lunar berry
#

After you kill sentinels

graceful urchin
#

make laser walls hit u if u use rod of discord

hasty wigeon
#

Why

lost agate
#

How even?

#

And why?

graceful urchin
#

just make it so you take the dmg they would do to you

#

if you used discord

lost agate
#

Why?

hasty wigeon
#

..?

lunar berry
#

shotgun THOTGUN

graceful urchin
#

just dodge l m a o

ashen warren
#

That's just stupid

lost agate
ashen warren
#

2 DoGs would be enough

graceful urchin
#

i play bullet hell games all the time

lunar berry
#

@graceful urchin you try dodging DoG laser walls in death mode without RoD

#

Consistently

lost agate
#

You know what, lets slap the player for using something they should be able to

lunar berry
#

Remember god slayer inferno RoD

graceful urchin
#

rod of discord should be rendered useless during scal since hit cap got removed

#

ez

lost agate
#

...no

graceful urchin
#

try and no hit that

lunar berry
#

@ashen warren you know wen you craft things you craft them 200 at a time

#

Like

ashen warren
#

Making non-consumable versions of consumable weapons means they can receive unreal and whatnot

lunar berry
#

UNREAL XEROC PITCHFORK

graceful urchin
#

throwing weapons are some of the most powerful weapons ingame

#

tbh

ashen warren
#

It got nerfed tho

lost agate
#

And no, thrower is not op all around

lunar berry
#

Still probably pretty op

ashen warren
#

Throwing is op af post-ml

graceful urchin
#

thrower is just underrated

summer charm
#

There could be other ways to do that too. Like have a "Beacon" item to distribute modifiers that it has on it to throwing weapons in your inventory.

lost agate
#

But before?

ashen warren
#

Before it suffers

lost agate
#

Thats what i mean

ashen warren
#

Except for when lionfish is viable

strange onyx
#

With The Item Permafrost's Concoction The Ice Barrier should be for 3 seconds but only bring you to 20%

lunar berry
#

make beacons in terrria that give you buffs

summer charm
#

šŸ˜›

graceful urchin
#

crystalline is a pretty good early game throwing item

lunar berry
#

While in the ice barrier literally makes you unabl to do anything

summer charm
#

Just, I mean an item that can be reforged and then basically that modifier will apply to all throwing weapons in your inventory.

lucid marsh
#

Does anyone know how I could improve my suggestion?

ashen warren
#

Nades are the real strong weps @graceful urchin

plush remnant
#

Profaned Helm
Visions of the Profaned Flame are seared into your mind.

Profaned Breastplate
The heat of the Profaned Flame fills your chest.

Profaned Leggings
The Profaned Flame sets your footsteps ablaze.

Crafted with Unholy Essence and Divine Geodes.
Provides a damage and crit bonus to all classes and a movement speed bonus.

Set Bonus: "The Guardians of the Profaned Flame come to your aid.
Summons miniature versions of each of the Profaned Guardians.
The defense Guardian orbits around you, dealing moderate contact damage to enemies that get too close and dealing decent knockback.
The attack Guardian dashes at enemies and fires Profaned Flame projectiles.
The healing Guardian grants you increased life regen.

why: Because post ML, there really aren't any all-class armor sets aside from Xeroc, which gets shelved in favor of Tarragon almost immediately, in my experience. Having another all class set allows for more flexibility and for people to change their loadouts on the fly more easily.

#

Alright, how should I adjust this first draft?

summer charm
#

Feels like it would change too much relating to the code. @lucid marsh

lunar berry
#

ahem tarragon exists

ashen warren
#

I honestly don't see the point

#

@lunar berry u know consumable throwing weapons cant get any modifiers, this accessory will not change the max stack of these weapons or something, the throwing weapons will still stack but it will not consume on use

#

Use less ammo?

lucid marsh
#

I don’t know how practical to code it is but it would be cool

lunar berry
#

Me?

#

That was a joke

ashen warren
#

No

lunar berry
#

The unreal throwing pitchforks

ashen warren
#

xbxbxb

summer charm
#

You know where I would go for a classless armor, is the Nightmare Fuel and Endothermic Energy. Neither have uses unique to their items.

ashen warren
#

@strange onyx And why should it be changed?

lunar berry
#

If you got that at the start of the game

#

Death in 15 seconds or less

plush remnant
#

Yeah, I intended this armor to be an all class sidegrade/alternative to Tarragon

summer charm
#

Any thoughts on the Downdraft?

lunar berry
#

Nightmare fuel, endothermic energy are used for both silva and godslayer

#

But i kinda dont get silva

summer charm
#

I mean unique uses.

ashen warren
#

Hard to aim with just down-facing projectiles

summer charm
#

Themed after their items.

ashen warren
#

Doesn't have anything super interesting

lunar berry
#

Cosmic steel + Some moon stuff + feathers = green and orange armor

ashen warren
#

Granted it's pre-hmode but still

lucid marsh
#

The point of that weapon is to provide a unique playstyle that rewards fast clicking and makes you feel like every weapon is a revolver like the vanilla Venus magnum and Phoenix blaster

summer charm
#

They linger for a few seconds first to make them more viable.

lucid marsh
#

Because I like weapons like that and calamity makes them all like every other gun now

plush remnant
#

I think I'm just gonna post my Profaned Armor as is, and see how much traction it gets.

lunar berry
#

Just say something like ā€˜fast clicking = faster gun’

#

Simple

lucid marsh
#

But you see, it’s not quite just that

ashen warren
#

Yea that was a really complicated way to say that it works like the bandit in risk of rain

lunar berry
#

Confusion

ashen warren
#

Faster you click the faster the gun shoots

lucid marsh
#

It’s like pop pop in nuclear throne

ashen warren
#

Why have it fire like the clockwork?

lunar berry
#

The coding for that would be insane

hollow shell
#

Naaah it wouldn't be that bad

lucid marsh
#

That’s the point... sort of. Basically it makes the first shot every time you start firing into multiple, just like how the clockwork assault rifle works for that one shot. That way, the faster you click, the more bullets come out, even on high fire rate guns.

plush remnant
#

Doesn't really feel like it, tbh.
It's just summoning 3 minions and applying a self life regen buff

ashen warren
#

But why?

lucid marsh
#

So if you ā€œstart firingā€ a bunch of times, aka, click really fast, it rewards you.

ashen warren
#

Why not just make it that you fire as fast as you click?

lucid marsh
#

Well, uh... so it feels cooler I guess?

#

So you don’t use as much ammo?

ashen warren
#

Calamity has borderlands references anyway

lucid marsh
#

Because pop pop?

#

This isn’t a borderlands reference this is a reference to enter the gungeon AND nuclear throne.

#

Admittedly, the item in enter the gungeon works more like the way you describe

ashen warren
#

Borderlands has a gun type that fires as fast as you click

plush remnant
#

Jakobs

ashen warren
#

They're super fun to use

lucid marsh
#

Oh I see. Enter the gungeon has and item CALLED the lichy trigger finger that makes you fire as fast as you click but it also works on automatic weapons

#

So every gun becomes that gun if you want to use it that way, and guns that already work that way effectively get a fire rate boost

plush remnant
#

Tediore is the explosive/grenade reload gimmick, Maliwan is the manufacturer with mostly elemental weapons, Hyperion weapons get more accurate with sustained fire...

ashen warren
#

Soo

plush remnant
#

Bandit is Bandit.

ashen warren
#

Lichy trigger finger sets usetime to 1 but removes autofire

lucid marsh
#

EXACTLY

ashen warren
#

Why have it as a clockwork clone?

#

Usetime = 1 is way easier

lucid marsh
#

To make it work better on every gun

#

But now that I think about it, it’s probably better to just... do what you said

#

I’ll make a new suggestion

ashen warren
#

Tbh the point would be not to use it on the SDFMG or something like that

#

Use it on halibut or...

#

nvm i'm against this suggestion

#

Halibut becomes stupid again

#

/s btw

lucid marsh
#

Yeah, my reasoning was ā€œif you can click faster than a machine gun can shoot, then you get way more damage with even machine gunsā€

#

Ok good

#

I’d just make it work less well with halibut

#

Or make it like, use time divided by 10 on all guns instead of set to 1

ashen warren
#

"if you can click faster than a machine gun can shoot" cough mouse-macros

#

Daedalus emblem (effect kept in elemental quiver of course) šŸ‘€

#

Make it toggleable with visibility

hollow shell
#

^

#

Otherwise I'm never doing a Ranger playthrough ever again

tight chasm
#

oh god Dratal's rightclick with that would be the most broken fucking thing

lunar berry
#

mouse macros

#

Everything is a P90

#

Anti materiel rifle is a P90

#

4000 dmg per shot

tight chasm
#

o shit didn't even think about amr

240k dps hahayes
