AND THEN EVERYTHING AND ITS DOG IS IMMUNE TO IT

ashen warren
sand umbra
#

yet CI and Ichor, two debuffs that shouldn't have anything to do with it, are fine to cut DR and gain universal vulnerabilities because yes

hearty yew
#

ichor/ci are the only two supported debuffs

#

and ci is only supported for fairness' sake

#

this mirrors vanilla, where there is only one debuff: ichor

sand umbra
#

what even is the point of Marked

hearty yew
#

basically: calamity hasn't fixed the problem

#

what's the point of holy flames

#

flavor

sand umbra
#

you make a convincing argument

hearty yew
#

I'm not trying to make an argument I am trying to explain the situation as I see it

sand umbra
#

I know

zealous ridge
#

what do you mean by flavor?

#

if you dont mind me asking hah

sand umbra
#

most debuffs in Calamity solely exist to add flavor/atmosphere to the shit that inflicts them

radiant meadow
#

flavor is like cosmetics

#

like why say deathwind inflicts on fire and frostburn?

#

for the visuals

sand umbra
#

(neither of these actually do anything at the tier you get Deathwind)

radiant meadow
#

even though it has almost no effect at that tier

zealous ridge
#

but like... what? that's such an odd argument to me

#

first and foremost i question why these debuffs really do anything if theyre for the cosmetics anyways

#

is that not the case for only certain debuffs?

radiant meadow
#

they do something because they're vanilla debuffs that are designed for early game

#

like with flaming and frostburn arrows

zealous ridge
#

but i dont think we're talking about the same thing then

#

because i thought we were talking about cal debuffs

radiant meadow
#

I was using deathwind inflicting on fire & frostburn as an example

zealous ridge
#

yeah okay

radiant meadow
#

but clam debuffs like holy flames do have some effect at some stages of the game

#

although it's most prominent post moon lord so that's probably an issue

sand umbra
#

namely, with weapons that inflict them way earlier than the tier they're supposed to be inflicted

radiant meadow
#

ark of the ancients taxevasion

sand umbra
#

you read my fucking mind

#

I was just about to cite that as an example

radiant meadow
#

elemental mix on the twins hellyes

queen delta
sand umbra
#

the only time you'll ever unironically use Holy Flames or Elemental Mix

zealous ridge
#

so holy flames and marked...don't exist for the cosmetics?

radiant meadow
#

holy flames is often used for cosmetic purposes though

sand umbra
#

TAotA inflicts Mix too btw

radiant meadow
#

I think marked is more designed as an enemy debuff rather than a player debuff

#

because I know marked magnum is shit for example

sand umbra
#

Marked is a meme

radiant meadow
#

literally half the bosses in prehardmode don't have dr

#

and those that do have like only 5%

#

with the exception of wof mouth

sand umbra
#

and by the time that 50% reduction becomes pertinent to using Marked Magnum...

#

congrats, you can't inflict it

radiant meadow
#

you would think marked would be good for bosses like plant and fishron, but they don't have dr either

sand umbra
#

the bosses that have high enough DR for Marked to matter generally can't be inflicted with Marked

#

con?in?versely, the bosses you can commonly inflict Marked on are virtually unaffected by it

radiant meadow
#

it's really just a passive for summoners ngl

#

and a rev+ mechanic to punish players

sand umbra
#

that makes me wonder why the player's even able to inflict it in the first place

zealous ridge
#

if anything it's proof that ichor is just always going to be the better more reliable option anyways

radiant meadow
#

ichor is also way easier to inflict and can be more universally applied

zealous ridge
#

mhm thats what i mean

sand umbra
#

virtually nothing resists Ichor (or CI but nobody cares about CI)
a ton of shit inflicts it
and it is stupidly powerful, granting a sizable direct boost to all your weapons' DPS on nearly anything

#

there is no reason to get any other debuff

#

you hate to hear it but them's the facts

radiant meadow
#

brb, adding a debuff that sets dr and defense to zero taxevasion

zealous ridge
#

smh just add it to demon flames

sand umbra
#

deadass

#

just make that a Demon Flames effect

#

it's endgame content anyway TaxEvasion

tired haven
#

BR, uh

sand umbra
#

nobody cares about BR smhmhmhshsmhmshmhs

#

also just to remind you

#

everything in BR is immune to Demon Flames

queen sail
#

Why does every mod (and vanilla) stick with “Ichor must remain the only relevant debuff”

cosmic wraith
#

is defense hard capped

versed mica
#

No

#

I don’t think so

radiant meadow
#

I removed the blanket debuff immunities in br for next update

#

so demon flames will affect stuff now (not everything though)

sand umbra
radiant meadow
#

the entire reason for the blanket immunities was because of vanilla enemy buff cap crap

#

but clam debuffs circumvent the debuff cap now

sand umbra
#

ooooo

zenith hazel
#

@carmine island implementation of that scrapped theme is frequently suggested already, read the suggestion don’ts doc in the pins

carmine island
#

My bad. Didnt see the doc til now.sad

tepid root
#

how do you make painting tools more unique thonk

hollow idol
#

yknow, I look at that doc and see astra got marked down to not being able to be referenced, yet syntax error is still in there despite it being removed ages ago

grand badger
#

paint bucket feature, tool with larger area of effect (like a 3x3 brush), doesnt consume paint etc

pallid crag
#

Has someone suggested The Rock being placeable?

grand badger
#

Yes. A lot of people

pallid crag
#

Oh, nevermind then

swift wadi
#

People really want more out of that joke item smh

zenith hazel
#

@tardy stump there already is an art server, invite is in #info

tardy stump
#

Oh

#

Thx

zenith hazel
#

np

zenith hazel
#

why? @bright mountain

bright mountain
#

I don't know

zenith hazel
#

then why did you suggest it?

bright mountain
#

i dont know lol

#

let me think

zenith hazel
#

add a reason, please

#

at least put your suggestion here first so people can discuss

bright mountain
#

ok

lucid marsh
#

Is my suggestion good?

teal ibex
#

i would definitely prefer it tbh

#

but it is kinda against the point of the shrines

ashen warren
#

rod of discord, actuators, and hoiks exist.

#

kinda kills dungeons and so on

teal ibex
#

murasama is post-yharon anyway

#

you can shred literally everything regardless LOL

distant gyro
#

'can easily locate underworld shrine after yharon is dead

#

it's always on the bottom right of the map

quartz hare
#

xbxbxb123, very good

karmic stone
#

finding the Murasama is basically luck currently
It's literally the easiest one to find next to the abyss shrine bruh

lilac nacelle
#

it always spawns in the bottom right side of the world

karmic stone
#

Btw easiest one to find /=/ easiest one to get to HDfailure

#

^ @lucid marsh

lilac nacelle
#

like within a screen or two from the absolute bottom-right corner

hollow saffron
#

tbh why even is there a melee and mining speed cap

karmic stone
#

For the sake of Yoyos

sand umbra
#

melee speed cap is because yo-yos are lol

tired haven
#

(and because 1frame swords are lul)

#

(presumably)

tepid root
#

mining speed cap tho thonk

tired haven
#

Mining speed cap is, again, vanilla idea, likely to not make new pickaxes irrelevant via buffs

#

Since even current cap allows to almost quadruple the speed

distant gyro
#

Terraria wants DCU to be worth while HDfailure

sand umbra
#

uncap the mining speed stat and let DCU be affected

tepid root
thin shale
#

tbh, Plaguebringer Goliath is easier than Leviathan

void kelp
#

iirc mining cap is also bc tools stop working if you reduce the usetime too much since it loops into infinity

small talon
#

Tbh, I had no damn clue the hp jump on Levi was that big holy crap

thin shale
#

I know

#

I feel like they should be nerfed

sand umbra
#

Astrum Aureus has a similar health spike conceptually, but it's much less noticeable because it's still within reason

thin shale
#

Since I find Duke easier than those two

#

Not gonna lie

sand umbra
#

Siren and Levi are just go big or go home

distant gyro
#

Rev Plantera has about 40k more than it seems iirc

sand umbra
#

Siren alone, who is supposed to be the less relevant one in the fight, has over half the HP of Plantera

distant gyro
#

Since you have to take down all her tentacles before dealing decent damage

thin shale
#

It took me 4 tries to beat Death Duke Fishron in my 2nd Death Mode playthrough while it took me 12 tries to beat Siren and Levi after the 1.4 update

sand umbra
#

and Levi is just uber fat with 300k calawheeze

small talon
#

I think they should either cut 1/3rd of Levi's health, and nerf the rev to death health jump, or nerf it's defense and DR

#

Siren is ok where it is, she is mega squishy

thin shale
#

The pre 1.4 update’s Levi and Siren deserved that Post-Plantera title but post 1.4... not anymore

#

They can be Post-Duke

small talon
#

I don't think they should be moved, cuz then there is one sub boss in the post-plantera branch and three in the post-golem branch

distant gyro
#

I'm pretty certain ye

thin shale
#

But nerf them

#

Especially Levi

small talon
#

If they swapped it with a post-golem boss then sure

distant gyro
#

Levi is supposed to be the gap between plant and golem

swift wadi
#

I agree that Siren and Levi are too strong for their position in the game, and they have fairly underwhelming weapons and accessories for every class I've played, they feel irrelevant to progression other then The Community, high risk no reward

thin shale
#

Can agree

#

Exactly

tired haven
#

Tbh it amuses me how levi and siren went from "haha too ez buff em" to "hell incarnate" with a simple addition of levi dash

thin shale
#

Lel

#

Pre 1.4 Levi is way easier

swift wadi
#

Levi dash < Slime mount calawheeze

thin shale
#

Took me 2 tries compared to 12 post 1.4

distant gyro
#

the thing that happens when you add a difficult attack to an endurance fight

small talon
#

Levi dash is not too difficult to dodge, unless you don't have rod calawheeze

distant gyro
#

it gives a huge difficulty curve even if it's a small change

#

actually

tired haven
#

(apparently that's lies, levi's hitbox is too big for slime mount to dodge that consistently)

(and oh well, ofc RoD makes things ez)

distant gyro
#

the perfect way to counter siren and levi is none other than...

Flying Carpet.

sand umbra
#

RoD is fantastically bruh

thin shale
#

Can relate

distant gyro
#

(like actually, the fact that flying carpet prevents you from falling into a water spear up your ass help deal with 90% of all other attacks)

sand umbra
#

honestly, even with RoD, the situations you can get into with a dash from a being of Levi's sheer size and strength are pretty fucking stupid sometimes

distant gyro
#

plus levi is kinda fat and chases after you

#

two birds in one stone, underrated strat

sand umbra
#

and Levi likes starting charges whilst you are booping her snoot with your big flashy bootleg pew-pew boom-boom stick for some reason

small talon
#

Does Levi still have that big part of it's hitbox below it's chin that is really annoying?

teal ibex
#

levi's charge attack is awesome it's just a little icky with siren around

thin shale
#

Adrenaline Timing -> When Levi reaches 50% health

sand umbra
#

ah yes, the best part of the fight

#

Levi's nonexistent chin

#

was that fixed or no

thin shale
#

When Levi’s down, Siren’s pretty much a straightforward fight

#

Since I managed to finally beat the boss after beating Levi

#

On first go

sand umbra
#

see, each opponent in the fight is very straightforward on their own merit

#

the issue is when you have both at once

thin shale
#

Ye

sand umbra
#

everything goes to shit very quickly

small talon
#

And in DM you fight both from the very beginning

sand umbra
#

YEP

teal ibex
#

i prefer it that way

sand umbra
#

so the fight just kinda bruhs all over you from the start

teal ibex
#

pushing one of them into second phase before the other even spawns is like ew ew ew ew ew

thin shale
#

Even using Undine’s Retribution isn’t helping me that time (That weapon’s actually good against Fishron)

sand umbra
#

and if you don't have a game plan right out the gate, you're fucked

zealous ridge
#

Double encounters just aren’t fun in my experience

#

There are ways to do it right though

distant gyro
#

rebel assertion that both siren and levi should spawn at the same time in rev-

zealous ridge
#

I would like that if I felt siren and Levi were designed around each other well

distant gyro
#

instead of forcing you to fight 50%- siren (which is where she uses the fabled charging inside you attack) with leviathan who is a block on her own

zealous ridge
#

That’s part of the problem, yeah
You arguably have very little space to maneuver leaving you with monolithic options

distant gyro
#

in death mode the player gets to make a judgement on who to melt, that's a grand reasoning too

teal ibex
#

yeah no i'd really prefer that decision to get ported to rev

#

i don't even remember which you have to lower the hp of but at one point it was the opposite of what i wanted to do and switching to rev for the fight felt way worse than death because i lacked the option to choose

void kelp
#

or even just like

#

you can dodge siren easily but once you have to deal with an enemy who’s like half the size of your screen you can’t really do anything

#

not without struggling at least

swift wadi
#

My biggest problem is also reward

thin shale
#

I agree

swift wadi
#

I've done 4 different class pts past siren, and never once used a weapon from them

#

Melee, Ranger, Mage, Rogue

#

Never once, other than community

thin shale
#

And speaking of rewards, some of DoG’s items are not as good as expected

#

Like Deathwind

zealous ridge
#

Summoner has pearl of enthrallment for HOTE but that’s it lmao

swift wadi
#

So, two accessories, one being a legendary item

thin shale
#

And the weapons are no good

swift wadi
#

You end up killing Astrum with the same weapons, Levi killed or not

sand umbra
#

Siren and Levi drops are not that good

swift wadi
#

She has no place in the progression, she's so optional it hurts

thin shale
#

Only the Rogue drop is what I’m looking for

sand umbra
#

and they are absolutely not worth the shitfest you go through to get them

swift wadi
#

You kill her to kill her, not for any reward other then two items

thin shale
#

Tbh, I defeated both Siren and Levi after beating Moon Lord in one of my Death Mode playthroughs

twilit swan
#

There are always certain items that are extremely OP and items that are outclassed by items lower in the progression than them. Calamity is great and all, but it needs some serious balancing tweaks

swift wadi
#

That's what I did first, what did I lose? nothing

signal prairie
#

One major and really the only major problem about siren is most of the homing weapons (thats not Chlorophyte bullets) don't home in fast enough to hit her most of the time.

sand umbra
#

see the thing of it is

thin shale
#

Also some of Yharon’s drops are useless

twilit swan
#

Like what?

sand umbra
#

most homing shit just sees Levi and goes

#

"it's free real estate"

thin shale
#

Dragon Rage

swift wadi
#

I don't have a hard time hitting Siren

twilit swan
#

Oh fair point, it's DPS could use a buff

#

It's like a JV Burning Sky

hollow saffron
#

ngl siren's confusion debuff was absolute hell the first time i ncountered it

tired haven
#

Funnily enough, all homing goes to levi but summons don't

crimson rose
#

lads

zenith hazel
#

which homing weapons don't catch up to siren?

sand umbra
#

pretty sure summons are programmed to prioritize Siren at this point

crimson rose
#

i agree in levi

sand umbra
crimson rose
#

on

sand umbra
#

for the simple reason that summoners would cry otherwise

crimson rose
#

si

zenith hazel
#

I'm like 90% sure minions focus down on levi first

swift wadi
#

You can focus summons tho

#

So i mean

sand umbra
#

and we already have one ocean boss that makes summoners weep in fear

zenith hazel
#

ok now that's just wrong

swift wadi
#

The duke?

zenith hazel
#

res butterfly is good for duke

sand umbra
#

pre-butterflies summoners, specifically

#

or those that don't know it exists because the chad Vigil exists for most of Hardmode

#

:p

zenith hazel
#

well that's not a thing anymore, is it?

#

res butterfly exists now, duke shouldn't be too much of a problem anymore

twilit swan
#

Duke Fishron and Yharon are the most annoying to me because of their fast movesets and quick but powerful attacks. Dodging all of their attacks is insanely difficult

sand umbra
#

fair enough

#

butterflies make summoner Duke actually tolerable thinkies

twilit swan
#

True that

swift wadi
#

I dont play summ so I could be wrong, but are we saying "an item you can get before duke fishron makes duke fishron pretty alright for summoners"

#

Because like

#

I would hope so

sand umbra
#

ye

hollow saffron
#

personally i think duke fishron is all fun and games until deathmode

twilit swan
#

I always go melee. Yes, I'm that guy

quartz hare
#

play semi-summoner

sand umbra
#

Res Butterfly was specifically designed to fight the Duke because everything else for summoner falls flat

hollow saffron
#

i could easily beat it on all modes except death

zenith hazel
#

anyway, go back to levi & siren please

swift wadi
#

Yeah off topic

sand umbra
#

byeah

#

Siren and Levi

crimson rose
#

just died to him FalloutThumbs

karmic stone
#

Levi and Siren are females ech

twilit swan
#

Then stack deathmode with masochist mode from Fargo's Mod and add Prefixes for Enemies as well as Good Luck Have Fun mod. Then, Eye of Cthulhu has twice the amount of attacks, around 25000 HP and 350 DMG. I've never won a boss fight with that level of difficulty

swift wadi
#

Different boss different mod, we should stay on siren and levi

twilit swan
#

Well those mods give them 1.1 Million HP and twice the damage so yeah

zenith hazel
#

not relevant to the discussion

hollow saffron
#

^

thin shale
swift wadi
#

They seriously have balancing issues, from the jump up from rev to death, their placement in the order of bosses being too early, and their weapons being so, so useless

hollow saffron
#

fargo's doesnt make the base calamity fight harder unless you install it

swift wadi
#

I'd love to see a rework with the new resprite

#

Would give new life to the boss

thin shale
#

I agree

hollow saffron
#

but for real siren is fine if you dont get confused

#

everything goes downhill if theyre both on low health tho

#

NEVER have both of them be low

twilit swan
#

Eh thought I'd bring it up because it makes boss fight such as the Siren and Leviathan much easier. There will always be imbalances in mods, and the Siren and Leviathan fight is very unbalanced in progression, but if you start from somewhere basically impossible, it will make any boss fight easy, even Deathmode siren and leviathan with only Post-plantera weapons

teal ibex
#

are the drops actually that bad? i could swear i've seen use of brackish flask, leviatitan, pear of enthrallment for crafting, all the fishing items, and community

hollow saffron
#

DM siren and levi is fine imo

teal ibex
#

which is like half the pool

zenith hazel
#

yeah but we're talking about solely calamity, not other mods

teal ibex
#

how good does it need to be hecticHmm

zenith hazel
#

that's what calamity is balanced around, itself.

sand umbra
#

Pearl of Enthrallment is purely useful as a HotE ingredient

swift wadi
#

^

hollow saffron
#

brackish flask is kinda outdone by the dustorm in a bottle

thin shale
#

Siren is okay but Levi’s disgust

zenith hazel
#

but it's still good

teal ibex
#

so are all the other hote ingredients

sand umbra
#

Leviatitan is good maybe but Conference Crutch and friends exist

swift wadi
#

Yeah I had no need for Brackish as rogue

hollow saffron
#

everybudy gangsta until levi starts dashing

twilit swan
#

The Siren and Leviathan Drops are kinda trash and they do need to be buffed for the difficulty of the boss fight

hollow saffron
#

speaking of which, how would a big fish dash

teal ibex
#

leviatitan should be marginally worse but acceptable as you don't have to work for it so that seems fine to me

thin shale
#

That’s the point

hollow saffron
#

its not a sailfish, it cant accelrate fast

sand umbra
#

as you don't have to work for it

you have to fight Siren and Levi for it in the first place

hollow saffron
#

atlantis is like never used lmao

teal ibex
#

i'm still not sure why they're trash? like, of the items they drop, i only see 4 that i've never seen utilized

zenith hazel
#

atlantis was used when deus was still post-plantera iirc

#

not too sure about now

hollow saffron
#

oh yeah then

#

lmao

teal ibex
#

i mean, yes, but most players fight bosses in order and required effort should not be considered relative to optional effort

sand umbra
#

you see Community used all the time, but never at the tier you fight Siren and Levi at

crimson rose
#

dm siren and levi are just generally at such a bad place in the boss order

zenith hazel
#

it's good if you have nothing to fill in that last slot

sand umbra
#

but you generally do have something to fill in that slot

hollow saffron
#

^

thin shale
#

The only time I used the accessory is when I was beating SCal

swift wadi
#

Yeah my ranger is full rn

sand umbra
#

something that, at the tier you wouldd obtain Community, is better and easier to handle/obtain

thin shale
#

Where the Community is at its most powerful

queen delta
#

Only few weapons are actually capable of doing good damage to levi

hollow saffron
#

i never even used the community lol

thin shale
#

Terra weapons used to be effective

sand umbra
#

even with how hard Calamity tries to consolidate everything into one accessory, in the post-Plantera playing field there's plenty to fill your 5-6 acc slots with

hollow saffron
#

i think its underpowered for a legendary

green pumice
#

hue conference dq

thin shale
#

I first defeated the boss with a Terra Edge

queen delta
#

And only few weapons are capable of catching up to siren without excellent aim

hollow saffron
#

mangrove chakram worked for me

#

same with the duststorm in a bottle

crimson rose
#

ballistic poison bomb vs siren is really fun

hollow saffron
#

^

thin shale
#

Terra Blade vs Siren

swift wadi
#

Ranger has been the only class I would say has an "easy" time with Levi, and that's because of lulok bow from Plantera

thin shale
#

That’s the fun for me

swift wadi
#

Aka blossom flux

teal ibex
#

ballista is also good

hollow saffron
#

^

zenith hazel
#

most classes are good against the duo tbh

green pumice
#

conference dq says lol bows

swift wadi
#

my mage could not beat them lol

green pumice
zenith hazel
#

except summoner because obvious

hollow saffron
#

personally il ike using the ballista vs aureus tho

zenith hazel
#

not everyone uses conference call

#

not everyone nohits either

thin shale
#

I don’t

swift wadi
#

What are these weapons

green pumice
#

i know

signal prairie
#

Mage prolly struggles the absolute most

swift wadi
#

I don't have these lmao

crimson rose
#

ive tried aureus with ballistic which is eh

thin shale
#

I used the common variant of it

#

Conclave Crossfire

zenith hazel
#

mage has lashes of chaos for levi and terra ray/undine's for siren

green pumice
#

conclave is still sex

sand umbra
#

just

Greentide is meme last I checked
Leviatitan may be good but Conference Crutch, Conclave Crossfire, P90, and several other pre-Siren/Levi options exist that are better and in many cases easier to obtain
Atlantis was useful until Deuces Wild got moved
what the fuck is a song, this isn't bard
what the fuck is a lure, for that matter
Ambergiggity is lol and used for an equally lol mega-accessory
everything fishing-related can be obtained beforehand relatively easily (Angler farming is not that bad at that point either, what with SBTBFS and Feral Double Rod)
Community is useful, but not at the tier you'd obtain it normally

zenith hazel
#

astralachnea too if that's your thing

thin shale
#

It shreds PG with Chloro bullets

hollow saffron
#

conclave crossfire + chloro bullets
enjoy your useless loot

swift wadi
#

marking the conclave as a weapon I need

signal prairie
#

Undines is too slow and Terra Ray just doesn't have the DPS to kill her in good time and Lashes of Chaos is good if you can stack the explosions, which requires blocks to get a solid stacking going

swift wadi
#

Terra ray isn't bad

hollow saffron
#

undines is better for fishron iirc

swift wadi
#

For Levi

sand umbra
#

I'd like to remind you that these drops need to compete with Perennial Bar stuff, post-Plantera Dungeon items, the shit Aureus unlocks, AND options from the seasonal moons

crimson rose
#

for me the biggest problem is siren

sand umbra
#

and in a lot of cases, options amongst those are easier to get and work better for immediate progression thereafter

crimson rose
#

i can kill leviathan with ballistic

zenith hazel
#

Levi's a big ass target, lashes of chaos is good for her

crimson rose
#

but then it is rather eh vs siren

zenith hazel
#

wrath of the ancients is also a good support weapon

hollow saffron
#

honestly if there were a weapon (like notorious BIG) that homed in on the fastest enemy, it could work for siren

swift wadi
#

it took me pillar weapons to kill her as mage

hollow saffron
#

lmao

swift wadi
#

Yeah just add fucking Stands

#

They could probably kill her

crimson rose
#

should i just skip levi at this point for now ?

hollow saffron
#

something like it

swift wadi
#

Although we'd need to die for BIG to work...

hollow saffron
#

😳

#

bruh

swift wadi
#

Anyway

hollow saffron
#

how bout not dying

swift wadi
#

Levi is very skippable

crimson rose
#

good idea

hollow saffron
#

like kill an evoker dude

#

siren and levi offer nothing of insane value

crimson rose
#

ig aureus/golem instead

swift wadi
#

Aureus unlocks a few good items

crimson rose
#

yeah but is quite a pain at this stage

swift wadi
#

I mean your stage in the game doesn't really change after Levi

#

Which is the main problem

crimson rose
#

yes

#

i can get aureus to 80k-100k health but then shit goes downhill quickly

hollow saffron
#

honestly aureus spawns are annoying

crimson rose
#

yes

Stay on Levi topic or go to mod talk plz

crimson rose
#

kk

swift wadi
#

Or another suggestion

#

in the channel

hollow saffron
#

ok minimod

swift wadi
#

ok boomer

crimson rose
#

eh ill try golem

hollow saffron
#

ok boomer

crimson rose
#

si

zenith hazel
#

get the hell back on topic, now.

#

can't even use this channel for more than 5 minutes without people being people

swift wadi
#

Someone suggested a way to locate shrines a while ago, I have a weird idea, in the game Spelunky there's a part where you locate a hidden area using a beeping sound that gets more frequent the closer you are, that would be cool if it could be implemented to find shrines

#

Also I hope you don't mean me Brav, i tried :c

sand umbra
#

people will be people, yes

in any event, the big takeaway here is that Siren and Levi bring way too much challenge with an entirely too sharp difficulty and statistical spike for entirely too little reward

swift wadi
#

Yes

hollow saffron
#

i agree

teal ibex
#

man, such extreme opinions

sand umbra
#

I'm just tellin' it like it is

hollow saffron
#

there really is no extrinsic motivation to beat it

sand umbra
#

there's very little if any reason to fight them on-tier

teal ibex
#

i don't disagree that siren and levi could be tweaked, but holy moly. the drop pool isn't that bad. people will fight the boss on almost every playthrough and if they want to get better weapons they can. 90% of players just trash boss drops anyway, even if they are good.

sand umbra
#

I mean fair point

#

stuff you can craft is almost always superior to boss drops without fail

queen sail
#

Tbh

sand umbra
#

but like. half the drops aren't really impressive even if you do keep them

teal ibex
#

terror blade was a MASSIVELY slept on weapon for nearly a year because people just didn't bother with them. as much as i'd like boss drops to be cool and interesting, it objectively isn't worth the effort because the predisposition is there

queen sail
#

I mostly just fight siren and levi because their boss drops are Enchantment ingredients

teal ibex
#

and you can't change how people think, they're gonna assume the drops aren't as valuable because they frankly probably should be

hollow saffron
#

The weapons from siren and levi are easily outclassed by weapons from similar tier bosses

#

and the hardmode dungeon

zenith hazel
#

not all of them

hollow saffron
#

AA and the astral unlocks are much better

queen sail
#

You literally saw the stream

hollow saffron
#

How many times have you used Leviatitan brav

sand umbra
#

I remember Brackish Flask in particular standing out as a consistently good reward for beating the duo

zenith hazel
#

lemme ask you this, would you use titan arm over greentide?

hollow saffron
#

Outclassed by the duststorm

queen sail
#

Yes

sand umbra
#

yes

hollow saffron
#

I dont use either

swift wadi
#

And Steller Knives are one boss away

sand umbra
#

because there is nothing superior to yeeting people across the world

zenith hazel
#

then why are you saying the astral unlocks are way better?

sand umbra
hollow saffron
#

Because I dont do true melee brav

distant gyro
#

I would use sandwich shocker over both of those

#

or Mantis Claws

hollow saffron
#

I use other weapons

#

Astralachnea staff is epic

distant gyro
#

which are directly below both Titan Arm and Greentide

sand umbra
#

love him or hate him

alt over here spittin' facts

hollow saffron
#

Mantis claws lol

distant gyro
#

also : Nebulash

queen sail
#

You gotta admit that siren and levi’s drops are outdated tbh

sand umbra
#

Sub Sandwich Shocker is the best meme

distant gyro
swift wadi
#

Nebulash

hollow saffron
#

Nebulash is yes

queen sail
#

They haven’t changed except atlantis

#

Which became a trident

#

And enthrallement pearl maybe

hollow saffron
#

a useless* trident since AD was moved

teal ibex
#

also as a sidenote, am i insane or is this not an issue with nearly every boss drop pool

distant gyro
#

lure of enthrallment HahaYes

hollow saffron
#

the pearl is actually kinda cool lol

queen sail
#

I mean, hec

teal ibex
#

like i don't see why siren/levi pool is a standout besides the "they're hard" disposition

queen sail
#

I use terror blade

distant gyro
#

it used to be a sentry staff lole

queen sail
sand umbra
#

I want to argue against you

hollow saffron
#

hec, not all bosses have this issue though

#

like calamitas

sand umbra
#

but also literally half of ML's drop pool exists

hollow saffron
#

entropy's vigil is epic

#

blossom flux

teal ibex
#

i don't disagree with the idea that boss drops should be good but it seems distracted when the boss itself is the problem tbh

swift wadi
#

I mean Plant, Astrum and Golem are near Levi and they have a lotta nice stuff imo

teal ibex
#

entropy's is ok but then there's a yoyo and animosity

hollow saffron
#

siren and levi are overhard and undergood

sand umbra
#

Oblivion is decent

hollow saffron
#

^

distant gyro
#

it's under the basis that hard bosses should give rewarding items in return

#

which I would be neutral about in this subject

teal ibex
#

oblivion is decent but how many people actually want to use yoyos when cool sword weapons

#

hey wow it's the same problem

hollow saffron
#

yoyo playthrough taxevasion

sand umbra
#

but why sword weapon when yo-yo that shoot lasers

teal ibex
#

because i'm not 4. hecticSmug

#

i'm kidding yoyos are fun

sand umbra
hollow saffron
#

😳

queen sail
#

Why sword weapon when you can just cheese the game with ranger

hollow saffron
#

why use ranger when you can burn your enemies using homing magic

teal ibex
#

but anyway, i digress, siren and levi could be adjusted and i think what would be wisest is nerfing the collective by slowing them down, kind of like how scal used to operate with the brothers alive

hollow saffron
#

actually this is getting offtopic again

#

i agree hec

queen sail
#

But tbh the drops should be adjusted imo

teal ibex
#

once one is dead the other can snap to current ai and i think the general issue is fixed without a: being a massive workload and b: completely changing the boss

sand umbra
#

honestly just slowing the two's stuff down when together would solve like

teal ibex
#

why? there's 1 solid drop, 1 decent drop, a crafting drop, fishing utilities, a powerful lategame acc, and a few filler items

sand umbra
#

nearly everything

queen sail
#

Even if you fix the fight to not be a pain in the ass they’ll still probably be skipped over (unless Enchantment memes) because the drops are outshined by other weps on the same tier

hollow saffron
#

either nerf the boss or buff the weapons

sand umbra
#

because 90% of the issues of the fight come from the fact that both Siren and Levi are Speedy McFastFish

teal ibex
#

i don't think the majority of players skip bosses

hollow saffron
#

what is this Enchantment im too boomer to know about

queen sail
#

Fargo stuff

hollow saffron
#

oh

ashen warren
#

nerf levi popech

queen sail
#

Armor set bonuses but accessories

hollow saffron
#

hi terry

queen sail
#

He

#

Also yeah i agree that levi’s ungodly fast

hollow saffron
#

not to mention that when its health is low it charges really fast

#

and often when youre trying to evade the siren's charges too

teal ibex
#

please don't nerf the charges

#

god that attack is so good it's just brought down by the other issues

zenith hazel
#

fat hitbox

queen sail
#

don’t nerf the charges

teal ibex
#

hitbox doesn't even matter if you play your movement right

sand umbra
#

the Levi charge would be better if it couldn't start 2 inches from your ass

hollow saffron
#

honestly the charges (especially sirens downward one) are just guaranteed damage

teal ibex
#

literally i cannot describe enough how consistent and rewarding the charges are if you play your cards right

queen sail
#

biggest hitbox in the game at lightspeed

hollow saffron
#

guaranteed damage doesnt help you with dodging

teal ibex
#

the reason everybody gets hit by charges is because you're using reactionary dodging

hollow saffron
#

and as a result it doesnt encourage skill as much

zenith hazel
#

tl;dr movement is key for siren and levi tbh

queen delta
#

Levi charge is fine itself ye but the fact that theres other stuff involved that could stop you means levi charge should be nerfed

teal ibex
#

if you premeditate your movement you will not get hit by the charges (when levi is alone)

ashen warren
#

when levi is alone

hollow saffron
#

^

teal ibex
#

i won't defend it in the collective fight right now because it is not, in fact, fair

#

but the charge itself is not the issue

zenith hazel
#

the charge isn't like that bad, except that the other stuff exist

#

the summons, whatever they are

hollow saffron
#

the charge combined with other stuff is torture

queen delta
#

Levi has tanky af minions that love to fuck you over, and if siren is alive, GLHF

zenith hazel
#

aquatic aberrations

hollow saffron
#

yes

queen delta
#

Paraseas

zenith hazel
#

one of them has the old siren charge iirc

#

so like have fun with that lol

granite owl
#

nerf levi?taxevasion

teal ibex
#

all i'm saying is pls don't nerf charge it's cool get rid of annoying homing projectiles and summons tyvm

queen sail
#

So basically

queen delta
#

And has 4000 health and you see at least 2 of them alive at a time

#

How about levi gets his regular charge back when siren dies but nerf charge while shes alive

hollow saffron
#

yes

#

i concur]

teal ibex
#

that is also fair

sand umbra
#

why are the summons even there

queen sail
#

• Siren and Levi big ech
• Inconsistent movesets that make for a very annoying fight
• Stats taxevasion
• And summons for flavor ig
• Drops are half worth the suffering

sand umbra
#

what do they add to the fight

zenith hazel
#

nyoom

hollow saffron
#

the summons just dance on your grave if you die

ashen warren
#

regenerating damage sponges ech

queen delta
#

They have way too much health ech

sand umbra
#

good job, terry, you get a gold star

(please remove these fucking summons, they don't actually contribute much of anything to the fight at all)

ashen warren
#

polterclone momentous

hollow saffron
#

i could see aquatic abberations/paraseas working as post-siren/levi enemies

queen sail
#

That’s it, really

quiet abyss
#

Before this starts escalating into nonstop circlejerking I suggest that y'all just make a suggestion or two to fix all these issues with Levi/Siren's fight like you have all stated, and be done with the topic quickly.

teal ibex
#

i would suggest the general slowdown and snapping back to normal ai after one is downed but chaining

hollow saffron
#

@quiet abyss that would be suggestoin chaining

quiet abyss
#

Instead of just nitpicking an admittedly improper part of my statement to make a dumb joke, I suggest you start taking my words seriously, please.

queen sail
#

Honestly

#

I feel like levi and siren should get reevaluated

zenith hazel
#

it’s not chaining if it’s an entirely different idea, insights on how to fix the fight

quiet abyss
#

And ^

zenith hazel
#

Franswal only said to rebalance it

queen sail
#

If it’s got this big of a convo going

zenith hazel
#

what other ideas do you people have?

hollow saffron
#

nerf charges

#

also who is gonna post this

queen sail
#

Make the drops worth the effort

quiet abyss
#

Have you not read what Hec said, at all?

zenith hazel
#

make a coherent post please

hollow saffron
#

yes i did

queen sail
#

Instead of being good for one class and sell filler for others

zenith hazel
#

don’t just say “nerf charges” and expect stuff to be done

hollow saffron
#

ofc i would elaborate

#

bruh

teal ibex
#

it is solid for one, good for another, has 2 relevant accessories, and gives a boost to fishing

#

i don't understand what your boss drop expectations are

hollow saffron
#

the thing is that im unsure of if we can all post our own individual ideas

#

because chaining

zenith hazel
#

that’d be flooding and confusing

hollow saffron
#

yeah

zenith hazel
#

agree on one general idea

quiet abyss
#

^

queen sail
#

Their only fishing drops are potions and the lava hook

hollow saffron
#

should we conduct a vote or just make one sugg with all the ideas

teal ibex
#

sponge and endless bucket too

#

people like to make artificial pools and don't always use luiafk

queen sail
#

Yes but what’re you gonna do with those

zenith hazel
#

that’s just as confusing

#

or too many ideas in 1 sugg

queen sail
#

You probably have a lake nearby

teal ibex
#

anyway, i'll write up an actual boss change concept and you can all feel free to suggest nitpicks and additions

#

different biomes exist

#

you do not have a lake in every biome ever

sand umbra
#

to give my two cents:
considerably slowing down Siren and Levi when both are alive would honestly be a great change that would likely fix the majority of issues that exist within the fight
many of the problems with the Siren/Levi fight rn is that too much shit is happening too quickly and it's entirely too hard to figure out what you're doing

hollow saffron
#

Remove Aquatic Abberations/Paraseas from the Siren and Levi fight

Reason: These summons add literally nothing of value to the fight except dancing on your grave when you die. Perhaps making them a post-Siren and Levi enemy that spawns in the ocean would be more useful.

distant gyro
#

I think it's cool that Siren is fast and Levi is slow

hollow saffron
#

levi dash tho

zenith hazel
#

the dash is manageable if your movement is good enough

hollow saffron
#

also has the downwards siren dash been removed

#

or no

distant gyro
#

But both bosses don't always go by that rule

zenith hazel
#

siren does reaper shark charges now

hollow saffron
#

oh

#

ok

#

that might be mroe manageable

#

imma have to play the mod again lol

distant gyro
#

Siren occasionally stops to spit her tunes, and Levi occasionally do a fast dash below 50%HP

teal ibex
#

Suggested changes to Siren and Leviathan

Firstly, implement Deathmode's feature of spawning both simultaneously to Revengeance. The choice to force a phase change should fall on the player, and this gap in difficulty is a bit jarring to begin with.

Secondly, when both bosses are alive, have their attack patterns and movement be slowed down to some extent similar to the former SCal AI when the brothers were alive. The greatest qualm mentioned in the fight currently is that the bosses work excellently alone, but create extreme difficulty when combined. By slowing the bosses down slightly, the imposed difficulty is reduced without significantly altering the experience of either boss, and the pacing of the fight better introduces you to what the bosses can do.

Additionally, the summons from Leviathan are relatively unpopular and do not service the fight significantly, so they are a reasonable candidate for removal as well.

hollow saffron
#

epic lethal banger tunes

teal ibex
#

anything else? i'm not bothering with adjusting the pool. i don't believe it to be necessary and it can be suggested elsewhere by people who do

sand umbra
#

seems like a gamer plan to me

zenith hazel
#

does anyone else have any problems with levi’s death hp other than Franswal?

teal ibex
#

i was never particularly bothered by it, it's kinda fitting

distant gyro
#

I'm fine with a fat fish who has a fat amount of life

#

it does make sense

sand umbra
#

yeah, it makes sense when you think about it

zenith hazel
#

aight, just checkin

teal ibex
#

plus the only reason it's so aggravating is because the boss is so nail-bitingly tough for peeps

#

a more mellowed fight would make the extra hp negligible for most i'm sure

#

i'll wait like 15m for any other points to be made and post it

hollow saffron
#

nerf the boss or buff the loot

#

pick one

distant gyro
#

both

hollow saffron
#

makes the fight too easy

#

and too rewarding for an easy fight

zenith hazel
#

how is that too easy?

hollow saffron
#

depends on how much its nerfed

granite owl
#

idk but I think plantera is harder than Levi & siren

distant gyro
#

not saying that siren's song should be able to melt golem in 15 seconds

zenith hazel
#

then you can’t really say it’s too easy, can you?

hollow saffron
#

brav im assuming enough to make the fight actually viable

zenith hazel
#

then it makes no sense for it to be too easy

distant gyro
#

well yea

teal ibex
#

w-would viable not be reasonable difficulty??

zenith hazel
#

it’s still a multi boss fight after all

distant gyro
#

which is why I said both

hollow saffron
#

if combined with buffing the loot it would carry too much of a reward is what im saying

zenith hazel
#

for a reasonable fight

distant gyro
#

we're not taking those buffs and nerfs to the extremes, are we

teal ibex
#

hence why i'm not bothering with loot buffs

distant gyro
#

reminder that weapon balancing often raises base damage by like 3-5

hollow saffron
#

either buff the loot enough to make the difficulty worth it or nerf the fight to make the loot's current power actually make sense

distant gyro
#

which is negligible at best

sand umbra
#

unless it's P90

hollow saffron
#

i would personally suggest buffing the loot since the loot is underwhelming and the bosses can be cheesed using the conclave crossfire or any hardmode dungeon weapon

#

so the drops should be more powerful than the dungeon stuff

distant gyro
#

I'll suggest doing both to a moderate

hollow saffron
#

that could work

distant gyro
#

that's a right way to make a balanced and fair boss having it worth while

teal ibex
#

cheesing a boss should nEVER be how you decide to balance it

#

cheesing is easy and you're saying the loot should be better for the people who do?

hollow saffron
#

thats not what im saying

#

actually nvm

#

lmao

teal ibex
#

like yeah, it'd work nicely for the people who actually did the fight, but the people who cheese would get super good items without any of the effort imposed

hollow saffron
#

well imean conclave could be nerfed but that's another rabbit hole in itself

#

buff the fight slightly to make the dungon weps a bit less OP against it but also at the same time buff the drops so theyre actually worth it

distant gyro
#

you know what would be better

#

actually pacing the gap between tactical shotgun and conclave crossfire -- so you don't use tactical shotgun for the long-lasting 1 second before getting a direct upgrade

hollow saffron
#

I agree

distant gyro
#

but that's a topic for another day, we're talking about the boss here

hollow saffron
#

Can I make a sugg about that lol

#

Make Conclave Crossfire post-Golem

Reason: Currently the availability of the CC right after obtaining the Tactical Shotgun pretty much invalidates the latter weapon except for crafting the CC. If it were moved further in the progression tree, it could mean the TS could get some more use.
Original idea by Altix

distant gyro
#

smh you spelled my name wrong

#

I'd give an example of a weapon that has been given this treatment before

hollow saffron
#

are there any examples tbh

distant gyro
#

actually

hollow saffron
#

i cant think of any right off the bat

distant gyro
#

the title of my suggestion would be a meme in itself

sand umbra
#

Impaler, I think maybe?

distant gyro
#

Give Conclave Crossfire the Impaler Treatment

#

ye

sand umbra
#

knew it

hollow saffron
#

well frick i forgot that my school blocks the calamity wiki

#

so i cant confirm lol

sand umbra
#

Stake Launcher 2

hollow saffron
#

imma take your word on it tbh, thanks

distant gyro
#

Impaler's recipe got replaced from Core of Chaos to Chaotic Bar in 104

#

Ironically enough, Conclave Crossfire also use Core of Chaos afaik

hollow saffron
#

Make Conclave Crossfire post-Golem

Reason: Currently the availability of the CC right after obtaining the Tactical Shotgun pretty much invalidates the latter weapon except for crafting the CC. If it were moved further in the progression tree, it could mean the TS could get some more use. This is similar to how the Impaler received this treatment in order to give the Stake Launcher more use.

distant gyro
#

Hence, the Impaler Treatment

sand umbra
#

(and by extension, also make Conference Crutch drop exclusively post-Golem)

hollow saffron
#

whats the conference crutch

ruby cobalt
#

conference call

distant gyro
#

RIV of Crossfire

ruby cobalt
#

the good conclave crossfire

hollow saffron
#

ah

sand umbra
#

ConCrossfire's older brother that does none of the work for all of the recognition

hollow saffron
#

lol

sand umbra
hollow saffron
#

Make Conclave Crossfire post-Golem

Reason: Currently the availability of the CC right after obtaining the Tactical Shotgun pretty much invalidates the latter weapon except for crafting the CC. If it were moved further in the progression tree, it could mean the TS could get some more use. This is similar to how the Impaler received this treatment in order to give the Stake Launcher more use.
P.S. The Conference Call would also be moved to post-Golem to compensate

i need to stop sending this here lmao

Huh, I find siren and Levi easy on d mode. Aureate boosters w/ reaver Armour and frog leg.

#

Easy mobility

#

Ballistic poison bomb works great for taking down Levi, and you can use conclave for siren

#

Megalodon works too

#

Still needs a nerf though. Specific way to play that not everyone will enjoy.

smoky wagon
#

Compared to aureus and pbg, siren and levi are significantly harder

#

Are their weapon drops even good? I know they were buffed at one point

queen sail

Leviatitan = Meh
Atlantis = Crowd control but, like, Nebulash?
Siren’s Song = See above, also confusion lmao
Greentide = bruh
Brackish Flask = Pretty decent
The Community = Okay this one is pretty good
Pearl of Enthrallment = HotE crafting filler lmao
Leviathan Ambergris = Amalgam filler 🤷‍♀️

Atlantis was good until Deuces Wild got moved

#

kinda?

queen sail
#

Only thing I heard about it is from Ozz on the wep tier list stream

#

Smth smth “This melts Yharon”

sand umbra
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

The Community is good

#

except such is never the case at the point you are intended to get it, compared to other easier-to-obtain items

#

Pearl of Enthrallment is more waifu bait and HotE filler, seriously who uses any of these goddamn HotE ingredients besides Aero Stone and Chaos Stone

#

Leviathan Ambergiggity is nice for the tier you get it, and I like that. the mega-accessory it's used for, however, is a fantastic meme

#

ok this is gonna be a nerdy suggestion but.. Rename the cnidrion to something else

sand umbra
#

hey so I've always wondered

#

why the fuck is it called a Cnidrion

#

what is that even supposed to mean

opal barn
#

Because

gusty geode
#

What extra effects would you add to the paintbrush
Chance to not consume paint?

void kelp
#

idfk because cnidaria refer to stuff like jellies, starfish,

sand umbra
#

greater area of effect, for one

void kelp
#

hydrozoa

sand umbra
#

okay but Cnidrions are fucking seahorses

void kelp
#

which is why I’m like ech because cnidrions are seahorses

sand umbra
#

I'm pretty sure a seahorse is not made of jelly

void kelp
#

I’m literally gonna have to look into seahorse taxonomy hold on

Ask Fab :blobshrug:

#

@sand umbra wdym

#

You think that’s water they’re shooting?

sand umbra
#

...do not--

#

fuck you

#

I'm never going to get the image of Cnidrions' water spit just being gel out of my head now

#

thanks for that

queen sail
void kelp
#

isn’t it the same particle effect as the slime gun HDfailure

rugged mist
#

Fab planned this all along

tired haven
#

Gelatin horse

#

Crusty one, apparently

void kelp
#

@brittle merlin this suggestion is for u

sand umbra
#

can't really do much for summons

opaque sierra
#

The cnidrion doesn't need a rename

sand umbra
#

ranger modifiers are hmmmst

opaque sierra
#

It's a fucking game

sand umbra
#

rogue...can be balanced if done right, though the same applies to ranger

tired haven
#

Minion knockback is the reason I think of doing "5 most useless stats in Terraria" vid
Tbh custom reforges could be interesting, but most of them are just clogging the space of where menacing and lucky are

wheat cave
#

I feel like everyone just uses Menacing/Lucky and some people use Warding, I don't think that more reforges would be much better

opaque sierra
#

I either use menacing or warding

sand umbra
#

this just in: Menacing now reduces use speed and/or crit chance

opaque sierra
#

I couldn't care less about lucky

void kelp
#

it’s not necessary but it’s reasonable

tired haven
#

Too bad because lucky is mathematically better in lots of cases

sand umbra
#

here's my thing of it

Menacing will always be king

#

for the simple reason that people love big numbers

#

without thinking any further on it

opaque sierra
#

Warding is useful for summoners and mage due to low defense

wheat cave
#

I somehow ended up with 100%+ crit chance at melee run with max 1 accessory at lucky

opaque sierra
#

Melee however

tired haven
#

if you think about it, lucky was nerfed; menacing wasn't
who was the actual king?

sand umbra
#

we, as human beings, are really satisfied by seeing big fat numbers blowing big fat baddies right up into big fat loot piles

wheat cave
#

With potions and Glass Cannon setup

sand umbra
#

Lucky is Lucky

runic heath
#

I don’t think menacing needs to be nerfed at all

opaque sierra
#

Last prism is broken against poompkin moon

runic heath
#

But yeah minion knockback is so bad

#

It would be really nice if it was minion speed or something

sand umbra
#

the thing of it is that

opaque sierra
#

Minion knock back doesn't mean shit

sand umbra
#

movement modifiers are a joke

runic heath
#

Especially the stardust dragon/mechworm

opaque sierra
#

Minion damage means shit

frail mantle
#

idea: make Quick actually increase max speed instead of increasing max acceleration, because it's currently completely useless

opaque sierra
#

Movement modifiers can suck mah left one

runic heath
#

But yeah minion movement speed would be situational, but for mechworm I think it would be kind of good

sand umbra
#

and the melee speed modifiers don't really change much, only yo-yo/boomerang range and speed, firing speed from shit like Death Sickle, and use animation time

runic heath
#

Also it would be nice if any increase speed things would say increase max move speed instead

sand umbra
#

(and the first one breaks if you build it too high either way because yo-yo AI is a meme)

runic heath
#

Yeah, but some minions are too slow to actually hit things

opaque sierra
#

Death sickle was a good cheese weapon until some genius invented the solar eruption

wheat cave
#

Yeah, I don't think faster Mechworm would be better, he would just fly around not hitting anything half the time

sand umbra
#

Also it would be nice if any increase speed things would say increase max move speed instead

wheat cave
#

He either shreds everything or misses entirely

sand umbra
#

well no because then that's even more misleading

tired haven
#

??

runic heath
#

How

wheat cave
#

?

sand umbra
#

the whole issue with movement speed shit is that movement speed buffs affect nothing when you have boots in the first place

#

they only affect acceleration

runic heath
#

That’s not true

sand umbra
runic heath
#

You can obtain 309 speed with boots

#

Actually higher if my setup was in space

tired haven
#

Movement speed stat affecting max speed is like, what everyone thinks before they are told the truth

#

(or actually test once)

wheat cave
#

^

runic heath
#

Boots don’t actually hardcap speed as far as I can tell

tired haven
#

Mmm, they kind of do

runic heath
#

Then why can I go faster than the “speed cap”

#

Unless celestial tracers are different

tired haven
#

You can go faster with few edge cases like dashing but movement speed stops affecting max speed

runic heath
#

I got 309 move speed without dashing

sand umbra
#

roofon

runic heath
#

Unless you can’t run on concrete

sand umbra
#

when, pray tell, was the last time you actually tested this in-game

runic heath
#

Like 2 days ago

sand umbra
#

and no, Asphalt doesn't count

tired haven
#

Do you mean asphalt or?

runic heath
#

Asphalt my bad

sand umbra
#

Asphalt is a completely different playing field

runic heath
#

Does that affect speed cap?

sand umbra
#

.

runic heath
#

I more meant

#

Does it remove hard cap

opaque sierra
#

Frozone slime blocks and the grapple door trick

tired haven
#

It uncaps speed and sets it higher, yes

opaque sierra
#

Makes ya go fast

wheat cave
#

Is there any benefit of the faster movement speed? For Non Boss fights there is Burden Breaker, and you cant and aren't supposed to outrun most of the bosses

runic heath
#

Ah that’d do it then

sand umbra
#

but without Asphalt, speed is effectively capped at whatever your boots can manage

#

hence why movement speed buffs are misleading as hell

#

they don't actually boost your movement speed; only accel

runic heath
#

Still doesn’t change that some items that say boost movement speed don’t actually boost movement speed

sand umbra
#

YEP

#

BLAME RED

tired haven
#

imagine using asphalt anyway failure

opaque sierra
#

Which is bullshit

tired haven
#

And well yes

runic heath
#

Aerostone does too

sand umbra
#

AND HIS SHITTY MOVEMENT ACC PROGRAMMING

runic heath
#

There are a couple calamity items that do too

sand umbra
#

yes, there are

runic heath
#

Which is what my point is since they just say movespeed and not accel

sand umbra
#

but it's a problem that is rooted in vanilla being retarded

tired haven
#

They have to modify speed after the vanilla hardcap goes into play

#

Also renaming all the vanilla move speed would be arse task

runic heath
#

A number of items do increase max speed though

tired haven
#

(totally not because it was thrown around as flavor stat)
Like?

runic heath
#

Draedon’s heart, any lore item that increases it

tired haven
#

Out of vanilla

opaque sierra
#

How come I spend fuckin ages in underground hallow with water candle farming chaos elementals and getting over 9 chaos elemental banners and still no rod od discord

sand umbra
#

shit luck

opaque sierra
runic heath
#

Yikes

#

Turn on defiled rune

sand umbra
#

it's as simple as that

tired haven
#

450 elementals when the chance is 1/500, heh

#

(without defiled that is)

runic heath
#

someone I know killed 400 tactical skeletons before the rare weapon drop

opaque sierra
#

Like my exact kill count on them is 578

sand umbra
#

...why did I think that the chance was 2% for some fuckin' reason

tired haven
#

No idea

runic heath
#

You could also just fish for like

#

A little bit

sand umbra
#

and fuRTHERMORE
WHY DOES RUNE AFFECT IT

runic heath
#

Why wouldn’t it?

opaque sierra
#

I was fishing too for the scaly truffle

#

I did both

tired haven
#

Btw you have had a whopping 31% chance to not get a single RoD with that much kills

opaque sierra
#

In underground frozen hallow

tired haven
#

Theory of probabilities (or however it is named in engrish) is fun stuff I swear

opaque sierra
#

And then I go and kill 3 giant tortoises and get 3 turtle shells

#

Like RNG Jesus isn't on my side when it comes to rod

#

Or any rare drop I actually want

tired haven
#

that's why you sell your soul and fish up a few chaos fishes

runic heath
#

Sacrifice angler to the trasher gods

opaque sierra
#

What does a few teleportation potions do to help

runic heath
#

You can craft rod with chaos fish

tired haven
#

Did you not know about crafting recipe for RoD?

runic heath
#

You only need 5

opaque sierra
#

Oh really?

tired haven
#

Calamity adds that

runic heath
#

Yes

opaque sierra
#

Well I'm fucked then
