quick ice
#

in the Abyss, having 3 worm enemies when only 1 has anything unique is annoying

sand umbra
#

opinion: minibosses stay in layer 3 but are rarer spawns, Colossal Squid can spawn in layer 4, add a couple more normal enemy types to layer 3

quick ice
#

yeah, Luminious Corvina and Devilfish should both be in Layer 3

cyan lagoon
#

@snow hull doesnt it already have one

snow hull
#

no

distant gyro
#

it's not unique for using the same jump as tsunami afaik

snow hull
#

its just the tsunami one

cyan lagoon
#

Ah

distant gyro
#

and thus they don't stack nor the effects make sense

snow hull
#

yeah

distant gyro
#

how do you have a water jump on a slime-based armor

snow hull
#

🤔

hollow shell
#

You could clarify a bit further that you mean that
it's because it is the same jump as Tsunami

snow hull
#

i did

hollow shell
#

No I mean like

snow hull
#

look in suggestions

hollow shell
#

I interpreted your suggestion as meaning the jump wasn't very strong in comparison to Tsunami

I didn't know that it was literally useless because they are the same jump

snow hull
#

yeah

#

i fix

hollow shell
#

Thank you
(that could be worded better but at least the info is there)

snow hull
#

ok

hollow shell
#

Could be

Suggestion: Give Statigel set bonus a unique extra jump instead of reusing Tsunami in a Bottle's
Reason: Tsunami in a Bottle is completely useless when wearing this armor

#

But, s'up to you
It is your suggestion

quick ice
#

^
That's better wording for it since its easier to understand that the Tsunami is worthless in Statigel Armor

hollow shell
#

I assume Planty Mush is not in the crate because you can already fish up Planty Mush on its own

quick ice
#

true, 4/6 of the Abyss accessories you can fish up are also in the crate

hollow shell
#

Lemme see if they got removed as common fishing catches

quick ice
#

if they are then it's fine, but Tenebris should still be obtainable through crates since it's a pain to get more of it through fishing

sand umbra
#

actually, that'd make it possible to do something you can't in a world genned without Calamity originally

#

since even though Planty Mush can be fished up from the Sulf Sea, Tenebris is impossible to get without a physical Abyss

brittle merlin
#

The eyeball form is getting replaced with the humanoid form eventually iirc

fervent citrus
#

I know, its just that i thought it looks cool, and perhaps it can be a sort of an ability of SCal to transform into the eyeball thingy

hallow kraken
#

Is calamitas not supposed to be an eyeball as there is nothing in the lore suggesting that

unique vector
#

scal will be resprited as a humanoid form

distant gyro
#

idk what lore have you been reading calamitas is a brimstone witch

unique vector
#

we will decide how it will be incorporated into the fight and whether to keep her eye form in some way, whether that be transitions or just nothing at all

hallow kraken
#

There’s nothing suggesting she should be an eye is what I meant

unique vector
#

please dont suggest ideas for planned content, its best to wait until it is already incorporated before throwing something out there

distant gyro
#

she isn't supposed to be an eye right now is the answer

unique vector
#

lorewise yeah

distant gyro
#

an eye is a placeholder sprite

unique vector
#

shes not supposed to be an eye

#

its just there because we havent been prioritizing her resprite as of late

distant gyro
#

and the reason she was supposed to be an eye in the first place is because calamitas was originally made to be harder twins just like how dog was harder destroyer alpha and omega for prime

fervent citrus
#

Wait, so that was a bad suggestion?

hallow kraken
#

Future mod content suggestion

#

So yes

#

It is a don’t

fervent citrus
#

Welp, imma delete it, then

#

Dunno who are the 5 people who voted

distant gyro
#

one of them is suggestionbot ofc HDfailure

fervent citrus
#

Then 4

sand umbra
#

how many Earth Ele husbandos have been sugged at this point, even

tawny wind
#

So nopain

unique vector
#

dont know lol

#

ive only recently been able to be active

cobalt rose
#

also,
its cloud elemental, not wind elemental and sand elemental, not desert elemental

tawny wind
#

Sorry I'm not as good at names

#

Now its correct

hallow kraken
#

Sounds like a specific item to me

topaz bramble
#

yeah iirc you're not supposed to submit those

cobalt rose
#

...its important to know what you're talking about before you make a suggestion.

sand umbra
#

I can never comprehend how people mess up the names of things that are spelled out for you right there in the game but okay

topaz bramble
#

I can never comprehend how hard it is to read pins, but alrighty

sand umbra
#

that's less surprising to me, really

#

it's a near-constant that nobody reads pins no matter how much we tell them or try to make them

tawny wind
#

Ok I deleted it

cobalt rose
#

people dont like reading, thats it

topaz bramble
#

fair

cyan lagoon
#

@shell trellis vampiric ralidman not being a nanotech component is intentional

#

The lifesteal would make it too broken

sand umbra
#

and tbf Nanotech inherits enough shit as it is

hearty yew
#

it's intentional

#

nanotech is an extremely overloaded accessory as it is

#

why do you think so many rogue/melee hybrid weapons need the rogue one tuned down

#

rogue accs are really fucking overtuned atm

#

maybe it's just nanotech idk

radiant meadow
#

Mirror is stronk too

hollow shell
#

Pretty sure I remember someone saying Vampiric Talisman was specifically acknowledged and rejected because
yeah
lifesteal too stronk

#

I guess it's a bit odd that Rogue Emblem is used in its recipe

hoary hinge
#

noticed a discrepancy in the lore text for gael's greatsword so therefore put a suggestion about it

karmic quiver
#

can SCAL's humanoid form be the same shape and size of a player character?

ashen warren
#

then that will also be a boss rework not just sprite change

#

and probably makes the fight easier with smaller hitbox

#

just a bit though

hoary hinge
#

she could have like a massive aura that's her hitbox and then she's in the middle of it and is fairly small

#

like a red wire shadow outline of her eye form or smth

ashen warren
#

wack

#

so we can say the whole fight is attacking the forcefield?

#

and oneshot her actual body in acceptance?

signal prairie
#

Scal is already planned to have a human sprite. She is not the final planned boss however

hoary hinge
#

well we'll just have to see what they do when they make it

dawn jay
#

@hexed ore the black belt can be upgraded into Statis' Ninja Belt, which can be toggled on and off.

hoary hinge
#

@hexed ore correct me if im wrong but the order of your accessories can change which dashes

hexed ore
#

wat

#

I didn't know that

dawn jay
#

ye

hexed ore
#

My bad

dawn jay
#

np

hexed ore
#

Thanks for letting me know though.

hollow saffron
#

lunatix out here with a specific sugg

void kelp
#

@undone barn I think that’s actually in the plans!

undone barn
#

Oh, really? Sorry then

void kelp
#

dw

tired haven
#

Note to self: tell somebody to add Rogue buff station to Many have suggested

ashen warren
#

while we are at it can we make sharpening station buyable

tawny wind
#

@signal prairie wha-wha-WHAT!?!?

signal prairie
#

Wydm? Why did that require a pong?

#

I thought that this was known already?

teal ibex
#

don't you think that if it was supposed to be useful, it already would be? hecticHmm

hollow idol
#

"most useless item"
right

#

its not like brimstone key exists

cobalt rose
#

most useless lore item is SG lore

tired haven
#

nah

sand umbra
#

SG lore has some (very situational) purpose
although even then, the things that would make it good are nerfed a bit
so it's really iffy on whether or not it's useful

tired haven
#

It is useful because you can afk skybridge

sand umbra
#

mhm

ashen warren
#

hmm

sand umbra
#

that's the big thing

cobalt rose
#

like that's a valid reason for it to be useful ech

sand umbra
#

given the boss you're expected to fight immediately thereafter

#

yes it is

tired haven
#

For waffle it's not that suitable tbh, but for mechs and co. up to DoG? Absolutely

sand umbra
#

WoF takes a lot of horizontal space

ashen warren
#

do you think there should be another pickaxe between blossom and crystyl?

proven tide
#

cosmilite

tired haven
#

Eh

proven tide
#

cosmilite: a pickaxe, but its mining spread is just

sand umbra
#

I think there should be separation between Lunar PIcks n' Gallant but that's my SuperHot take on this subject

proven tide
#

wide

sand umbra
#

and either way, SG lore's way less of a hindrance than literally one-shotting you on any hit

tired haven
#

Blossom already practically caps out on digging

willow dagger
#

you can already get almost instant mine speed w blossom and other buffs

ashen warren
#

i just did a huge excavation and it was so slow when compared to how much space it is

proven tide
#

you can mine faster than you fall with blossom

#

with the right setup iirc

ashen warren
#

yeah but maybe mine mutliple blocks at the same time like drill mount?

proven tide
#

then what's the point of drill mount

ashen warren
#

i know i maxed everything there is lol

cobalt rose
#

if the beastial pickaxe is supposed to be a better (tier) chlorophyte pickaxe then why does it not have +1 range thonk

ashen warren
#

drill mount upgrade

sand umbra
#

Reaver pickaxe is supposed to be a better Chloro-tier pickaxe maybe

#

except

#

{{Shroomite Digging Claws}} exist and outclass everything else pre-Golem iirc

sand umbra
#

oh for the love of

radiant meadow
#

Lmao

ashen warren
#

so yea will anyone be interested in drill mount upgrade or a wide area pickaxe

#

like crystyl lite

zenith flicker
#

so i was just playing through hm and realized chlorophyte armor is worse than daedelus armor in nearly every way except in defense

cobalt rose
#

and yet again, my opinion is wrong, isn't that fucking great

zenith flicker
#

kinda weird

sand umbra
#

this thing exists

#

and it makes pretty much everything else pickaxe-wise before it completely irrelevant by mining speed, if I remember right

willow dagger
#

the beastial pickaxe is faster

#

than chloro*

radiant meadow
#

I reccomend using [[ next time for wiki bot

ashen warren
#

cosmilite pickaxe time

radiant meadow
#

And a tgc redirect

sand umbra
#

ahh, gacha

#

still learning how this new feature works ohwow

radiant meadow
#

Or thm redirect for thorium shit

potent veldt
#

"because it is the most useless item in the game"

#

There are items that literally have no use.

ashen warren
#

yeah but the issue is SG lorenis supposed to have ause

sand umbra
#

SG lore has a purpose though

#

we literally just discussed it not even an hour ago

ashen warren
#

i know

sand umbra
#

am confuse

teal ibex
#

they're saying SCal lore is intended to not have a use

sand umbra
#

ah. yeah that sounds about right

teal ibex
#

that being said this is all pointless, the guy rarely ever responds to convos in here about his suggestions to begin with

#

it might as well be deleted

sand umbra
#

kek

random flume
#

make scal lore kill you when you don't take damage either

sand umbra
#

SCal lore is now lul

unique vector
#

@hollow shell in the case of shadowplayer18, im not entirely sure if his suggestions are warranted for a suggestion ban. would they?

#

none of his suggestions were very clear or thoughtful esp considering none were approved by a mod except for one of them

hollow shell
#

oof, I dunno

#

My memory may be failing but I don't think we've ever banned anybody from suggestions

unique vector
#

kinda strange considering ive heard the term "suggestion ban" floating around a few times

#

maybe that was just an old system

sand umbra
#

the idea of a harsher "who can sugg" threshold's been thrown around multiple times in the past, but nothing concrete has ever come of it despite that

hollow shell
#

Hm

#

@tawny wind Lul is already the "reward" item for killing SCal in a low amount of tries
giving godmode if you have the correct name, killing you if you don't

Making SCal lore do the same thing would be redundant

#

Also

that's the point of the SCal lore item

#

The developers didn't obliviously give the lore item this effect thinking it was cool and fair
and now "uh oh, we just realized it's useless, actually!"

#

...

and also yeah like smooch just pinged me about
You may wanna put more effort into your suggestions or, better yet, send them in this channel first for review before posting in #suggestions-voting
because you have a pretty bad suggestions track record so far

#

(here's hoping he has the attention span to read beyond just the line he was pinged in)

sand umbra
#

honestly, how do so many people miss this channel when they're preparing to sugg

unique vector
#

short attention span

#

or just plain ignorance

ruby cobalt
#

this channel doesn't exist iirc

#

neither do pins

sand umbra
#

ah yes, the one true constant of sugmas

#

pins do not exist, they never have and never will.

frail mantle
#

Iirc people have been sugg banned before

#

I believe there were only two though

hollow shell
#

I do think I would like a more stringent suggestion submission system
as we have discussed before

so instead of stuff getting posted into #suggestions-voting that must then be reviewed, instead they pre-submit a suggestion for approval and then be allowed to post their approved suggestion in the channel

topaz bramble
#

bruhhuga hasn't every one of his suggestions been flagged

hollow shell
#

I dunno how the presubmission process would exactly work
Maybe a new channel, maybe in this channel

ruby cobalt
#

a new channel, then a bot crossposting it to #suggestions-voting if it detects a certain reaction?

hollow shell
#

Could be.

ruby cobalt
#

Amber's gonna murder me for that LUL

radiant meadow
#

Suggestion bans is a punishment yes

#

A valid one at that that can get you banned if you evade it

tired haven
#

There certainly were a few subjects who received that kind of ban

fervent citrus
#

What kind of suggestions were they making?

still cliff
#

is there any plan to add some kind of blood moon mini boss?

#

whenever I farm blood orb pre-DoG for armor and potions, blood moon is kinda boring currently

golden narwhal
#

i think mini-bosses might fall under the 'don't suggest bosses or events' category

#

but thinking about it, maybe not

#

probably check with a mod

still cliff
#

it's not a suggestion but I was just curious bout it

hallow kraken
#

Oh btw, because armageddon (at least last time I checked) doesn’t work with bosses from other mods, scal lore can be used for that

#

There’s a use

hollow saffron
#

@earnest raptor that feels oddly specific ngl

#

you could have summarized what you wanted by saying to make those weapons more intersting

#

imo

quick ice
#

Making more mousepads take time and money

fervent citrus
#

Mousepads?

quick ice
#

Look at Jokus* suggestion

fervent citrus
#

Does he mean the flat things for the computer mouse or...? (Sounds like a stupid question)

distant gyro
#

yes

quick ice
#

Yes, those

fervent citrus
#

Oh

distant gyro
#

mousepad. the ones that calamity already have sold

fervent citrus
#

Weird suggestion, but ok

#

Wait, they already gave away them all?

quick ice
#

I’m not opposed to it, but since that requires lots of effort and money to make those no support from me

distant gyro
#

not as far-fetched as you think, actually

#

ye

fervent citrus
#

Dammit

distant gyro
#

mousepads do require money after all

fervent citrus
#

I was hoping for one xD

quick ice
#

You can still buy them

distant gyro
#

that was not a yes to your question btw

fervent citrus
#

Oh, sry

distant gyro
quick ice
#

oh yeah, so could a developer check for me if the Abyss Chest Accessories are still able to be fished up from the Sulphurous Sea?

#

because if so I'm gonna make a suggestion to change that and satisfy all the people who want the abyss weapons (Myself included)

void kelp
#

yee

tepid root
swift bison
#

Somebody would need to draw more artwork to be added to the mouspads

quartz hare
#

need?

hallow kraken
#

irl specific item suggestion

shell lynx
#

Yharim chest mousepad

quartz hare
#

the lorde mousepad

tepid root
#

no

lost agate
#

Wasnt that hm consumable thing sent already?

#

And also rather specific?

#

I swear i have seen this suggestion like 3 times already

distant gyro
#

it was greenticked twice

lost agate
#

Br

distant gyro
#

real desperation hours iirc

lost agate
#

@earnest raptor mind not reposting the same suggestion when it was sent twice already?

#

And also not be so specific

#

And again, the rogue update is not done

#

So having the fact that it "hasnt been done after two rogue updates" as a reason is not the best i will tell you

sand umbra
#

as this past update proves, there are still lots of things to come with the rogue update

lost agate
#

Because there hasnt been two rogue updates, it was patchs that could have very well have no rogue stuff

distant gyro
#

also current unobtainables ig

sand umbra
#

rogue does, after all, have to compete with melee amongst other classes CompleteFailure

lost agate
#

But my point is, that sugg is becoming more and more an insistent annoyance

#

Yes we have a literal entire doc for weapons that dont have stealth strikes

#

And yes we are constantly fiddling around with balance

#

This doesnt need to be sent a damn third time

potent veldt
#

Yeah, it definitely becomes a little redundant when it's been already two times

gusty geode
#

It shows the demand for it is still high

lost agate
#

By the same guy

#

When it was sent twice

#

When it was never said it wont be done

#

While hes acting like we are slacking off and thats why it hasnt been done, which is false

#

Theres no excuse for that its just annoying

#

I would understand it if he at least changed the suggestion given he was told its specific and it still is

tired haven
#

(weren't the specific changes of actually existing items allowed? unless that has proven to be a mistake)

lost agate
#

Well you see

#

What if people liked the idea but not the specific details

#

What do you do there? Do you approve or not?

#

Its just really problematic

tired haven
#

Then specifics should be really just disallowed completely

lost agate
#

Well that aint exactly my call given i cant even edit the donts

tired haven
#

Yeah I understand

karmic stone
#

Reminds me of when healing with Proboscis on DoG's body was a thing

distant gyro
#

I didn't get much stealth with sylvan when I tried it HDfailure

gusty geode
#

Banning specifics of any kind would be a really bad idea
What if someone wants to fix something but they can't go into detail on how?

lost agate
#

They give a general idea

#

As everyone else

#

And if its really a fix, which i suppose means a bug

#

If its just an odd thing, general ideas exist

#

You dont need to go into specifics

radiant meadow
#

I can add a cooldown latet

#

That'll stop insane stealth gain on multiple targets

lost agate
#

That can work aye

#

I thought you were on a break tho

hearty yew
#

@swift bison sorry, not happening, "hard to craft" weapons are intentionally slightly op, this basically includes the entire ark line

#

this was an intentional balance decision made a while back by fab

#

If ark is actually way too strong

#

Then that's a bug report

swift bison
#

it's much easier to craft then the other Exos

#

especially exoblade itself

#

yet it's better then exoblade

#

all the exos are OP as is, but it's a problem when an easier to both craft and use weapon is more powerful then one that is harder toc raft AND harder to use

hearty yew
#

I mean I would love to just nerf ark by 8-10% and call it a day

#

But I can't really do that, I'd run into multiple layers of resistance

swift bison
#

Fair enough

#

Ataraxia is a worse problem, as it has the same niche as exoblade but is both much easier to craft AND more powerful, (almost ties ark)

#

but i know you can't nerf that because patreon ech

#

if it were me i'd put in in darksun tier and make it craft into exoblade but again i know that's not happening

green pumice
#

ataraxia is better than ark if you can aim it good

#

ark is consistent

#

which is what most people prefer and probably dont wanna lose

swift bison
#

I think it's a problem when the exo tier sword that is both hardest to craft and hardest to use is the worst of the three

green pumice
#

i mean

vocal grotto
#

I mean, if the devs see fit a patreon item can be nerfed

swift bison
green pumice
#

most people use both exoblade and ataraxia for hearts only (atleast i only use it for that) which is meh

#

ark is still mage

tired haven
#

Homing things certainly should have noticeable decrease in dps compared to what you actually aim

#

Though this tier in particular is pretty touchy so just 5% difference may turn the tables too much

sand umbra
#

byeah it doesn't help that exo tier itself is fantastically overtuned to compensate for SCal's stats

#

there is an outright enormous power spike post-DoG and exo-tier is the culmination of that fact
so the resulting numbers are...really finicky, to say the least

signal prairie
#

Honestly, Melee Scal damage wise is very very picky. Ark being the best option for solid, consistent dps. Lowering the Arks damage by even 5% would really hurt Melee Scal nearly to the point of being Mage levels of bad for Scal. The Ark line already has a massive crafting tree. Ark is also sort of made to be a consistent, solid option for Melee Scal.

#

I can't tell you how many times I've lost to her cause I didn't do enough damage. All because the Ark not having enough DPS to get past her phases.

vocal grotto
#

There's also Gael, but we'll see how fleshed out it becomes with time.

hexed ore
#

I would play melee but my computer broke

signal prairie
#

Gale is godtier for Scal due to everything

swift wadi
#

Still can't play the update 😔

tired haven
#

Gael, not gale

#

(though that one too)

vocal grotto
#

rn it's kinda just that new thing that exists. I expect that to change rapidly tho

signal prairie
#

If needed, I can make a vid showing how picky Ark can be for DPS against Scal

terse sundial
#

sure if it's Rev and ripperless

swift bison
#

Ark
Picky for DPS
calawheeze

ashen warren
#

you should add a music bot

sinful violet
#

don't think so

#

imagine how hectic that'd be

ashen warren
#

huh

versed mica
#

Why would you need another indicator

#

He indicates and never actually tps on top of you it’s not that bad to dodge

zenith hazel
#

hmm... I may have forgotten to account for the sylvan slasher thing during testing

#

I can see why it’d be a problem, but if you provide some sort of a visual comparison with and without slasher, that’d be excellent

#

because if it’s that viable as a support weapon then maybe something should be done about it

#

also I frankly can’t see how ark is picky against scal when it’s consistent across the board

ashen warren
#

nerfing the amount of stealth granted by certain bodyparts of a boss is fine, removing it entirely is just not fun

#

one of the coolest things about wormbosses is that they allow for big multi-hit strats that end up being super fun

#

throwing that away for the sake of perfect balance would take away some of the flavour

swift bison
#

i'd say that the sylvan slasher should instead have a cooldown on how often it can give stealth that is equal to how often it can hit a single enemy

#

that way you wont cheese tons of stealth out of segmented enemies

ashen warren
#

that would 100% remove all the fun of hitting a giant worm multiple times a second to get sneaky

hollow shell
#

@ashen warren Could you add a reason why?
(for completion's sake)

#

@vague laurel Those white balls are skulls.
I recommend you edit that cuz I had no idea what you were talking about at first
Nevermind, I'm not so sure now

#

@pearl osprey Two things

  1. buffing King Slime is in the Suggestion Don'ts document in pins, because he's an early game boss and intended to be easy
  2. even if it was allowed, your suggestion should've specified why he should be buffed and have a lot less emphasis on the specifics of how

I appreciate the politeness, though

swift wadi
#

Wow that last one is so nice it hurts lol

cosmic musk
#

ice shield dying definitely seems like a nice thing

#

it's a pretty common acc to have on for quite a bit of time

#

it would be nice if it was able to fit in cosmetically a little better

wary flume
#

Is it only me though or does KS gem do no damage lol

cyan lagoon
#

Erm

#

@fierce star can you explain why?

fierce star
#

there is a pickaxe with the power to kill any NPC (except guides etc)

ruby cobalt
#

ah, yes, the basic pickaxe from thorium

distant gyro
#

uh what

ruby cobalt
#

unobtainable testing item

distant gyro
#

oh that is a fucking thorium item nice

ruby cobalt
#

can you please stop embarassing yourself, delete that and never come back to these 2 channels?

#

pretty please?

distant gyro
cyan lagoon
#

A bit harsh

ruby cobalt
#

I don't usually tiptoe around, sorry

cyan lagoon
#

There isn't really a point to add a sword version of another mod's test item

ruby cobalt
#

especially when I see shit that reeks of memery

hallow kraken
#

That is definitely a specific item

distant gyro
#

I was going to say that if he talked about Crystyl Crusher then Crystal Blade basically fires the same projectile except non-destructive

cyan lagoon
#

I mean, the basic pickaxe is basically that

#

A test weapon

ashen warren
#

is he talking about crystl crushr though

cyan lagoon
#

Could be

ashen warren
#

what the hell is this suggestion and why

#

is he saying "Add (an Sword that does the same thing as that op pickaxe) in calamity" or "Add an Sword that does (the same thing as that op pickaxe in calamity)"

distant gyro
#

yes

#

idk the sug either

ruby cobalt
ashen warren
#

what

ruby cobalt
#

No, Terry, it's definitely the basic pickaxe from thorium

lost agate
#

It aint calamity

ashen warren
#

this is massive brain moment

#

isnt it that black hole pickaxe from game raiders video

cyan lagoon
#

I'm just gonna delete it

hallow kraken
#

Specific item nevertheless

ashen warren
#

👏 cosmilite 👏 pickaxe

lost agate
#

Give a proper reasoning and i star iirc

ashen warren
#

yeah that's the problem i really don't know what reasoning there can be except "better pickaxe because blossom isn't fast enough"

lost agate
#

Lack of tools on post ml maybe

distant gyro
#

make a 3 page essay about how blossom is slow, crystyl is too fast and destructive, and how there are only 4 pickaxes at the endgame and one of which is an immediate upgrade to another pickaxe

ashen warren
#

lol

(I did count all lunar's as one for sake of lunar being lunar)

ashen warren
#

seriously though luminite , gallant , uelibloom are literally right next to each other

#

and then nothing

distant gyro
#

and crystyl require both of the final calamity pickaxes with no further depth

lost agate
#

Well there you go thats enough reasoning

distant gyro
#

now have fun

ashen warren
#

in fact gallant pickaxe can be crafted immediately after you craft lunar pickaxe

queen sail
#

Honestly do we have any other post ml ores besides uelibloom and HyperYharimJudge ore

distant gyro
#

exodium hahar

ashen warren
#

it's not about digging ores it's about excavation power

queen sail
#

Exodium gallant pickaxe iirc :pensive_rick:

distant gyro
#

maybe a pickaxe that functions to the lesser extent of the crystyl

#

:pensive_rick:

ashen warren
#

yeah maybe beam about the range of axe of purity

#

poof

#

because digging out like half of the jungle is not fun

queen sail
#

seriously though why are the lunar pickaxes immediately rendered useless

ashen warren
#

not sure why i did it

#

but it is not fun

distant gyro
#

yes

ashen warren
#

same with many weapons tbh

#

upgradable right away

lost agate
#

Gallant could become a variant of lunar pickaxe instead of an upgrade

distant gyro
#

actually though

#

lunar pickaxes are legit lower brain power

ashen warren
#

why not just make uelibloom breakable by lunar pickaxe

distant gyro
#

because a better pickaxe than it already exists pre-cultist

#

which is laser drill CompleteFailure

ashen warren
#

can laser drill break uelibloom?

distant gyro
#

no but it can break exodium

ashen warren
#

yeah just make uelibloom breakable by luminite pickaxes and laser drill tbh

#

no point otherwise

distant gyro
#

you can also say screw both options and bomb both uelibloom and auric instead of getting a new pickaxe

ashen warren
#

haha yes

lost agate
#

Theres no point to making chloro breakable with pickaxe axe either with that logic but hey

ashen warren
#

i am not sure if i should send the screenshot of my jungle hole for the 3rd time to prove my point on how excavation is not fun

last star

make ore grow like clorophyte, problem solved

Yes because vanilla and Zerg potions aren't free enough
Maybe put them in a special sorta

#

What's the problem with the fishing expansion

#

exactly?

#

like if crabbar makes a comment like that obviously there ARE people who think the fishing expansion is bad

gusty geode
#

Fishing is "pointless" because it distracts from the endless cycle of killing bosses and killing enemies in preparation for killing bosses that Calamity's built on
That's my guess

hallow kraken

See the problem was they named an item “devourer of cods” and I will never be the same

ashen warren
#

hmm, I've been thinking about suggesting the active armour bonuses of armours like omega blue or bloodflare (auric tesla included) to be automatically activated on a "building up bar system" like adrenaline and rage or just have a sound indicating when they are ready, the reason being that those set bonuses is really forgotten in the mist of battle, most of the time you just forget they exist in a boss fight and never uses them which render them less useful, and especially in the Scal fight

lost agate
#

Uh bud

#

Theres buff icons now

ashen warren
#

ik but i don't suppose you really pay attention to buff icon in a fight tho

lost agate
#

healing sickness

ashen warren
#

huh yea, im kinda digging a hole for myself here

distant gyro
#

also especially for death mode dog

lost agate
#

Also what if people miss the sound

#

We got to the same place

#

Not to mention all the mess of sounds if you use a lot of stuff with cooldowns

ashen warren
#

that's actually right, i didn't think this one through much

#

yeet that idea out of the window CompleteFailure

teal ibex
#

Add the green healing flames from Providence's Revengeance fight to her Deathmode fight as well. (or if u absolutely must remove them from rev but pls don't)

Providence is a super difficult boss through and through, but the gap between Rev and Death is a lot more extreme than would be expected at first glance. The ability to heal significant amounts of health from her healing orbs grants Rev much greater survivability, and due to her cocoon phases she also does a solid job of countering the otherwise instrumental adrenaline of Deathmode. Considering these two hindrances, I think introducing the healing orbs to Deathmode (preferably at a reduced rate) would bridge the gap better than the current versions.

#

thoughts? hecticHmm

#

i'm a little biased since provi is my worst boss fight by far, i absolutely flounder against her, but i also feel like it's pretty clear that death prov vs rev prov is a pretty tremendous difference

lost agate
#

At least its not -300 hp anymore

distant gyro
#

ech

teal ibex
#

LOL yeah

distant gyro
#

I like that provi death removes green flames actually

#

since most of the changes to death are "hey more damage and more health and more shooty"

teal ibex
#

that's fair, i also like it in concept, i just feel like in execution it's disproportionately more difficult of a fight

lost agate
#

Well you dont want them gone on rev either so what do

teal ibex
#

it might be more pertinent to make her more consistently susceptible to adrenaline but i'm not sure how feasible that would be

#

i mean, i don't mind if they're gone on rev necessarily

#

i just prefer if they weren't LOL

#

i'll remove the pls don't from my suggestion since it makes it seem like i'm against the idea. i'm cool with it i just prefer adding them to death and making them difficult to attain

distant gyro
#

imo if anything should be changed about death mode prov is the existential crisis of "holy fuck healer guardian regens a lot" bit

sand umbra
#

green healing flames could exist in death but be much harder to grab/much rarer

teal ibex
#

i've been running summoner so i haven't noticed it LOL

#

yeah i don't want the green healing flames to be easy to get

#

in my eyes i think deathmode should make them an investment that you have to seek out or get lucky for since iirc rev lets you get decent yields by just existing and moving a little bit

wide flicker
#

Personally, I never have been able to easily grab the green flames

lost agate
#

That would reduce whats basically the biggest change in death to just faster cocoons and more healing

wide flicker
#

Then again I am colorblind

teal ibex
#

i disagree. making the healing flames a rarity makes it so you have to actually seek them out rather than hope they reach you naturally. you're creating a different style of play by increasing their rarity, not completely nullifying it

#

like, if deathmode flames existed in small quantities i'd be willing to use normality to snag a green flame since they're hard to come by and valuable. i would never do that in rev because there's enough to go around

lost agate
#

Tping is a death sentence

#

Idk who would do that

#

Not to mention its just 50 hp

#

Nothing to risk your life for

teal ibex
#

during flames? i don't think it'd be that bad to tp

distant gyro
#

make the healing flame fade away much faster so the player is forced to get close to prov to get it

lost agate
#

I tped once

teal ibex
#

i haven't tried it because i've never had to but like, it's all pretty linear

lost agate
#

Ate 3 flames at once

distant gyro
lost agate
#

Imagine having to realize where youre at with the camera movement and 5 flames near you

#

If thats not panic inducing idk what is

distant gyro
#

better yet, make healing flame in death mode flicker from healing to damaging

teal ibex
#

it's definitely panic inducing but not impossible, you can see where you're gonna be ahead of time

#

especially since you're not firing a weapon at that point you can focus entirely on your next dodge

#

flicker flame oh lord

lost agate
#

Its not impossible

teal ibex
#

full heal or instagib 👀

lost agate
#

But why bother

distant gyro
#

not as bad as it sounds in my head

tired haven
#

hot take: green flames make it harder than no green flames because you are distracted

lost agate
#

Its only 50 hp

#

When you have about 800

distant gyro
#

if it flickers, it forces the player to have good timing to get healing or be in more disaster CompleteFailure

teal ibex
#

ok, so what if instead it was 100? would that make it worth the investment hecticHmm

lost agate
#

No

#

Imo

teal ibex
#

i think we're starting to step into "this wouldn't happen" territory but food for thought

#

i'd go for 100 just because i'm lazy with my health potions and usually still have 150s LOL but ye

lost agate
#

You have to eat 2 green flames to compensate for hitting one flame

#

When the orange flames are in abundance

#

Its just not worth kamize'ing over

teal ibex
#

ok ok that's fair

#

but if i just slightly reframe it for a sec

#

do you think it'd be bad to give the player the option inherently?

#

i agree that it's definitely a risk play

lost agate
#

Bait them to their possible death?

#

Thats just evil

teal ibex
#

but the idea of making that risk on a good fight/bad fight is intriguing to me

tired haven
#

An option can also be a noob trap, so that's to be considered

teal ibex
#

i mean if they keep dying to it and don't learn that it's hard that's on them LOL

#

but that's true

#

i can see people whining that the green flames in death are impossible

tired haven
#

blood pact is one of brightest trap examples

gusty geode
#

Reminds me of an idea I once mentioned (didn't properly suggest tho) that had one of Xeroc's phases hit you with nasty DoT
But all of his projectiles healed
Was meant to turn Calamity's oh-so-important no-hitting mindset on its head by forcing you to get hit as much as possible in order to survive

teal ibex
#

ok so discarding the green flames thing for a sec

#

what are the thoughts on making adrenaline more reliable against provi than current

tired haven
#

There is a problem with adren on prov specifically? :o

lost agate
#

Im pretty sure adren with ele lance makes her eat shit

#

Among other weapons

distant gyro
#

current is that adrenaline almost always land on burnouts

teal ibex
#

it's pretty bad in hallow since cocoon > laser can make a completely dead adrenaline

distant gyro
teal ibex
#

and if you get adren near the start of cocoon you'll be triggering during the burnout

lost agate
#

I only find that to happen if you nohit all the time

night cradle
#

there's also an option that you can get hit to reset adren to get it in the right time

teal ibex
#

in casual it's happening to me often enough to be disconcerting

#

yeah i literally sometimes consider taking a hit in the first pattern just so my adrenaline will actually work

#

which is just kinda sucky

lost agate
#

Or use a burned out adren at the right time

gusty geode
#

Bouta show why I have this name again
But imo something not always working against a boss can be a good thing sometimes
Teaches the player how to survive without the mechanic that's not working

lost agate
#

Just have to play it smart

tired haven
#

Honestly, as much as I am for even grounds on bossfights, one boss that makes you change focus from adrenaline isn't bad
(another is brim ele but eh)

teal ibex
#

while i agree something not working against bosses can be good, adrenaline is quite literally the meta of deathmode

gusty geode
#

All the more reason to make it useless against at least one boss then

teal ibex
#

scal is that boss imo

#

already completely retunes adrenaline for the fight to begin with

#

with prov it feels less like intent and more like incident, since if you're lucky you just get all your adrenaline off for free anyway

#

which is kinda lame to begin with

lost agate
#

You dont know adren management if you didnt nohit old provi iirc

#

Triple donut provi i mean

teal ibex
#

the only idea i had to begin with is an armor break system that triggers if you deal enough damage to cocoon phases since i believe adrenaline pushes past the 1 damage minimums that would force her to be vulnerable, at least slightly mitigating adrenaline losses and making it feel more like a part of the fight

#

triple guardians mmmmmmm yes

#

i defo adrenaline cheesed them that was very fun and cool and good

lost agate
#

It didnt cheese them really

#

I got a 5 min fight

teal ibex
#

i mean that's fair, it's a crappy cheese but i'd still argue it's cheese LOL

#

just completely eviscerates them from existence, it's like they weren't even there

lost agate
#

You still have lots of danger to go through so idk why thats a cheese

#

Spears, provi herself

teal ibex
#

well yes but you should be dealing with that + another threat

lost agate
#

Hold on

teal ibex
#

if you're deleting a threat by hedging your timing it's a little bit cheesy

#

at least i would consider it to be

Description reeks of power AmidiasEvasion

#

Harhar

teal ibex
#

OH okay sorry

#

wait did adrenaline burnout exist for this version?

#

i forget when that was implemented

lost agate
#

It did

teal ibex
#

yeah ok i misunderstood

#

i thought you meant that you were waiting for a full adrenaline to pop the guardians phase

#

not storing up a burnout adrenaline

#

very different and a lot less cheesy for sure

lost agate
#

Im pretty sure in only stored up a burned adren at the begining

teal ibex
#

this is why you don't leave a comment until you've watched the full video

#

smh me

#

yeah i see i see

#

i don't think it's particularly cheesy how you did it, especially given the nohitting circumstances, but it was defo pretty cheesy when i did it casually

lost agate
#

Either way, idk if i like the idea of designing a boss around a mechanic that isnt exclusive to it

#

And thats not game defining either

teal ibex
#

uhhh sorry can you clarify what you mean by that

#

there's been a few ideas around so i'm not sure exactly which you're referring to

lost agate
#

Provi being more compatible with adren

teal ibex
#

bleh, i guess that's fair yeah. i just feel like the fight scales way too hard and in a much less enjoyable way in current edition, but it seems like i'm fairly alone in that camp

#

i'll try to think it over more and see if i can find some sort of compromise but i'm not sure how doable it would be since those are the two biggest gaps in the modes

lost agate
#

Provi actually eating adren constantly would ensure a buff

teal ibex
#

i don't really want that necessarily. i still want provi to have her defensive cocoon identity

tired haven
#

One thing to consider is a buff, yes
In result it would be the same fight p much but more picky on adrenaline management

teal ibex
#

my mention of armor breaking before would still eat some of your adrenaline but at least allow you to get your damage in instead of burning out prior to a laser or whatever

#

it would be reduced, but in a way that's more engaging and satisfying

lost agate
#

Then reducing it would make you fill it in another cocoon

teal ibex
#

because right now it's literally just "ok i'm gonna get a bunch of negative feedback because my good gameplay had bad timing"

lost agate
#

So

#

The timing is yours

#

Not from the boss

teal ibex
#

you're implying that under the pretense that adrenaline is interactive, which it really isn't

#

you're literally always trying to build adrenaline, it happens when you pull it off, not when you choose

tired haven
#

Popping a full adren in cocoon is gonna be about as effective or worse than popping a burnt adren on free prov Feelthinkman

lost agate
#

It is if you know when to use it

teal ibex
#

you would use it at the end of the cocoon phase as quickly as possible

#

what's interactive about that?

lost agate
#

Not just using it anytime

#

If youre doing the same thing expecting different results we got problems

tired haven
#

Yeah, I believe this interactive argument backfires here, as popping adren asap isn't interactive

teal ibex
#

oh you mean literally retiming your adrenaline in the midst of the fight in preparation for the phases to come

#

that's an insane bar to set for players

#

only nohitters have that deep of an understanding of boss phases

tired haven
#

No?

lost agate
#

But you say deathmode has a adren meta

tired haven
#

Just don't pop it in cocoons

lost agate
#

Which means nohitting

teal ibex
#

i've fought providence dozens, if not hundreds of times, and i can only partially gauge when her phases are -- and certainly not under the pretense of 20 seconds into the future

#

nohitting for portions of the fight, not the entire duration. i'm saying that you would need hundreds of attempts of experience to know when and where to pop adrenaline to time the next adrenaline properly -- and that's assuming you can sequence two in a row consistently to begin with. i can't even do that.

lost agate
#

Ah well

teal ibex
#

while i agree that it's possible that's like, top 5% playstyle at least

lost agate
#

Its death mode

#

You aint gonna do it first try

#

Or youre not intended to

teal ibex
#

man, i didn't say that and i really hate this elitism.

#

i'm moving on from this. that was just insulting.

tired haven
#

Wait, how did we jump from not popping adren into cocoons to the prediction of adren charge opposed to cocoons?

lost agate
#

I

#

Forget itp

#

Idk why i unmuted this place

teal ibex
#

shucks. seriously?

#

you're gonna demean me for a comment i didn't make because i think that most players can't pull off what you're suggesting, then equate the entire discussion to a waste of time by suggesting that unmuting here was a bad idea?

#

is that the kind of respect you have for me?

lost agate
#

Im sorry ok

#

I dont know anymore

teal ibex

i'm sorry i frustrated you by whatever i said but that's kind of cold dude, i don't love that at all

lost agate

I thought something changed but im just fucking stupid

teal ibex
#

you're not stupid, i wouldn't have this discussion with you if i thought your opinions didn't matter

#

but that was... a little not fair to say, that's all

tired haven
#

Pretty sure neither of you meant to insult each other, so it only looks painful from the side

i'm not trying to say my point is better than yours or that yours is invalid, i feel like i gave you that impression somehow

Imo Cnidrion's AI is kinda the fault of the underground desert's layout
Bunch of small sealed off chambers
So it's either they jump you out of nowhere like Cnidrions do

hollow shell

Also actually @ashen warren I don't see how this new AI will have any effect on the current situation at all

if you ever want some help i'd be willing to give it. i'm not sure if i actually could since i'd need to receive access to the dev suggestions channel but ye.

I can't give tester role though

You'll have to ask someone who can

frankly you could just give me access to the specific channels rather than giving me the role, but if it's preferred to give me the role then i guess i can take it? still not really up for testing but big shrug. @hearty yew if you could peek this and give thoughts that'd be cool. i'm not sure if it's cool to give me that access without testing but i also don't see the harm so shrug.

royal turtle
#

is suggesting that Desert Scourge have a visual indicator for if it's enraged a good idea?

#

since its boss music overrides biome music it can be hard to tell

golden narwhal
#

desert scourge enrages? i thought it just went invincible outside of the desert

#

also, the background can indicate when you are outside of a biome

versed mica
#

yeah it just becomes invincible

hollow shell
#

Universal enrage indicators have been suggested before

#

which would be nice

royal turtle
#

suggestion posted

vocal grotto
#

Making desert scourge red when outside the desert is possible.

#

The map icon, probably not

frail mantle
#

another idea would be giving bosses a red glowing eye icon that floats above their head when they're enraged

carmine linden
#

hey yall

#

how about all bosses turn red when enraged

#

duke fishron

#

providence

#

profaned guardians

#

aquatic scourge

hollow shell

ye, it could be universal

carmine linden
#

ok

vocal grotto
#

I mean, I like the idea of being able to tell visually when a boss is enraged

carmine linden
#

yeah

vocal grotto
#

But I'd prefer it be specific to the boss

#

But still obvious

carmine linden
#

i guess

#

like maybe with DS and AS the spikes grow?

tropic yoke
#

I got an idea...

#

non-consumable versions of every boss summoner that you only get after killing each boss a certain number of times..

austere lion
#

no

#

that'd make npcs useless

tropic yoke
#

o shidd yeah u can buy stuff

#

How bout' making trophies act like boss banners

austere lion
#

no

#

what if you just beaten a boss with luck and got the trophy on the first kill

left crest
#

just add actual boss banners

royal turtle
#

i have definitely killed DS at least 50 times

#

boss banners would be cool

austere lion
#

why would u even kill it that much?

queen sail
#

Question

#

Why are you askin here

#

(About having bosses be affected by a banner-like effect)

royal turtle
#

i killed DS over 50 times to farm money

quick ice
#

if Boss banners were a thing, making them activated Trophys would be cool
(To elaborate, activated would drop from bosses every 50 times they're defeated and are a slightly cooler looking trophy)

hollow shell
#

@left crest Defiled Rune?

#

Yeah it'd increase difficulty which is a thing you said you didn't want
but the alternative is killing 50 of a boss before you start getting increased drop chance

left crest
#

the point is to make grinding the boss easier once you've done it a lot of times already

sand umbra
#

@hollow shell Defiled Rune doesn't apply to Yharim's Crystal, any RIVs, or any of the HotE components though

#

not to mention the various other neat little lower-rate drops people may farm a boss for

hollow shell
#

HotE components are cuz they're 10%
1 in 10 chance

Yharim's Crystal and the RIVs aren't affected for... some ungodly reason

#

"can't make it too easy to get Yharim's Crystal, cuz it's so valuable"
ah yes defeating Yharon without wings is indeed too easy, random chance is a better decider

runic heath
#

I like the idea of having a red eye to show enrage, since some enemies are going to be different colors and so just changing them to red might not be that drastic of a color change and might not be easily noticeable

#

Also if someone is color blind that might be an issue, but I'm not so I can't vouch for that

sand umbra
#

honestly Rune is just wack

#

it affects some shit that doesn't need to be affected and completely ignores things that actually need the drop rate boost

#

and there's never any distinction with the drop rates, it's always a flat 5% or additional 5% depending on whether or not the item originates from Calamity

runic heath
#

rune is just there in case you want 3495043 sky glaze

sand umbra
#

it completely overturns any argument made towards rarity being a balancing factor too because guess what now everything balanced around this fact affected by the Rune has a much higher chance to exist

I really think it'd be less of an issue if the chance boost didn't defeat the purpose of the item being rare in the first place

#

the chance for enemies to crit isn't really that much when you kill the normal enemies fairly quickly to begin with anyway and don't even need to use it for a boss fight for it to work on the bag

#

the drop rate boost really does not need to be as big as it is

#

anywho that's my SuperHot take of the day I guess

hollow shell
#

Don't forget about disabling wings

#

also yeah bags do make anything intended to be a drop reward an issue

sand umbra
#

disabling wings is most relevant to the case here when considering powerful rare enemies and bosses

...except see also: the point I just made about bags

#

and Rune drop rate boosts rarely ever apply to such enemies outside of bosses' Legendary drops

ashen warren
#

lol eaxe nerf

void urchin
#

It’s op

#

Like the fact it’s so fast and it’s dps is so high

sand umbra
#

if I had a dollar for every time someone's requested to nerf this thing

ashen warren
#

enough dollars to get a patreon item

sand umbra
#

well, another one, rather

ashen warren
#

shh

sand umbra
#

anywho gimme numbers, gimme statistics. I want average DPS counts, any kill times you can provide

#

saying it's OP is not enough information for me to form an opinion on this thing

#

let alone anyone else

tired haven
#

"but thomas, it kills waffle so fast quick"

#

here is your kill time ig

sand umbra
#

ah yes, a very accurate timeframe, thank you

#

I'll put it beside the other three dozen that say this CompleteFailure

tepid root
#

it kills king slime in like a second HDhurdur

sand umbra
#

nobody cares about King Slime

terse sundial
#

The enchanted axe is fine against bosses

sand umbra
terse sundial
#

It does not need any changes

shell lynx
#

Would it be fun if there was a weapon that when used, could use any random weapon per use?

#

Now that I think about it it’s probably just the lorde but trapped in a weapon

ashen warren
#

ohno

runic heath
#

A weapon that is just metronome

#

That would be funny tbh

terse sundial
#

It would not be fun to both code and probably play with

runic heath
#

Like Pandora’s box from Fargo

ashen warren
#

sentry weapon: metronome

#

each tick summons a random projectile

runic heath
#

Oh for sure I don’t think it would be at all a practical addition

tepid root
#

fargo's has pandora's tome CompleteFailure

runic heath
#

I also don’t know how weapons are stored

tepid root
#

its basically just that, can shoot any projectile

runic heath
#

Oh I need to get that

ashen warren
#

epic

#

is it part of mutant or soul

tepid root
#

soul

ashen warren
#

alright

sand umbra
#

Vitamins are usually a Hardmode item but also hmmmmm

ashen warren
#

pre hm ankh charm soon

void kelp
#

nazar is also otherwise really hard to get so kinda makes sense?

ashen warren
#

star count hits 80 and now i am excited over a number going up

tired haven
#

Now that's the suggestion I can get behind

#

It makes nearly perfect sense and now the inconsistency of current state irritates me NotLikeDaryl

devout seal
#

Would making a suggestion of 'replace the blast barrel projectile' be weird

#

because it throws a barrel at 3/4ths perspective, but the weapon's behavior and movement seems to imply it rolling.

#

but it looks very very weird for a rolling weapon

hollow shell
#

You could suggest that, yeah

#

No need for the image if you were thinkin of sending that

tired haven
#

No idea if the perspective was intentionally skewed in order to make it more clear it actually rolls, but oh well

#

You totally could suggest that but secretly I'm for the stupid animation

devout seal
#

the animation is as if it's flipping.

tired haven
#

Trying to apply the view it kinda goes on the oval with diagonal axis rather than vertical

#

So both flipping and rolling?

scenic aspen
#

Btw CrabBar, thanks for opening my eyes in the way of the Cursed Flames Dart Gun. Never used it before in ranger playthrough

tired haven
#

kinda offtop but you're welcome, I guess BeeCrunk

wooden yoke
#

Here’s a suggestion idea: make the various flame debuffs more unique

Why? The only difference between them is the damage they deal and the interval at which they deal the damage. God slayer flames and astral infection reduce your defence, but only by a tiny amount

void kelp
#

what else could they do?

sand umbra
#

...that's not really a reason, that's just stating what they already accomplish CompleteFailure

#

also they could do lots of other things

#

pretty sure Vulnerability Hex is proof of that CompleteFailure

ashen warren
#

is that a debuff suggestion I smell?

#

👁️

sand umbra
#

Maso is also a good place to look for inspiration on how to make debuffs more distinct

gusty geode
#

I imagine stuff like Unstable or any of the class-targetting debuffs would be met with ungodly amounts of salt if they were brought out here

sand umbra
#

well of course! I moreso meant things such as Berserked (forced auto-attack), Squeaky Toy (attacks make lefunny squeaky toy noise and do 1 damage), or Hexed (attacks heal enemies)

#

and it's just something to draw inspiration from, you can get all sorts of unique stuff if you're willing to be creative and push the envelope a little bit

tired haven
#

Cursed Inferno applies Cursed
CompleteFailure

sand umbra
#

that's where I draw the line

ashen warren
#

each tick where you'd take damage you get 10s of curse and it keeps stacking

ashen warren
#

it's barely useful in vanilla for the same reason

#

Range is king

#

maybe a true melee feature?

#

like

sand umbra
#

imagine caring about vanilla weps iirc

ashen warren
#

boosts damage for consecutive hits

#

and s p i c y crit ability

#

Unless it was really huge you aren't beating carnage + fungal

#

similar to oathsword

#

but yeah it's bad

#

or even obsidian swordfish and fungal lmao

sand umbra
#

ObsidiSwordfish wut

ashen warren
#

meme

sand umbra
#

where the fuck are you in progression when you get Fiery Ech

ashen warren
#

yeah you can get the soul slurper rod pre-hm iirc

#

and fish up mr fish

sand umbra
#

Obsidian Swordfish is balanced around Hotline Hook though

#

so unless you'd like me to type up a little sugg real quick on that...

ashen warren
#

I personally think it's funny, and while it breaks balance it's also fun

#

and as I recall if you stack the fishing bonuses you can get, you can fish up obsidian swordfish pre-wof

#

normally it still kinda sucks cause range but counter scarf and fungal symbiote make it a beast

sand umbra
#

you can fish it up pre-boss if you have enough patience but that's not the point

ashen warren
#

this is of course, without the supreme thing

sand umbra
#

if we're going simply by what's obtainable with available options then to be entirely frank Obsidian Swordfish trumps nearly every other option prior to shit like Wind Blade or Carnage CompleteFailure

ashen warren
#

carnage beats it simply because of the homing blood projectiles iirc

sand umbra
#

Carnage just trumps everything else of course

ashen warren
#

Make every true melee weapon able to deflect projectile
Reason: it's fun

sand umbra
#

because it's an RIV of an already not half-bad wep and actually serves the purpose an RIV should serve

#

which is being better in every capacity OmegaFailure

ashen warren
#

so anyway yes

#

what's RIV im guitarded

frail mantle
#

Rare item variant

ashen warren
#

truememe FGS would be very eh

sand umbra
#

Fiery Greatsword getting an on-hit effect would help it, methinks

ashen warren
#

ok but what's the name

sand umbra
#

because On Fire! always has been and always will be the greatest debuff meme

ashen warren
#

knowing it's rare doesn't help

#

wait

#

nvm

#

what do you mean?

#

i

#

got my neuron

#

back

#

ah

#

one of them

#

the exploding effect of the uh

#

lord thing

#

while cool would still mean fgs bad

sand umbra
#

literally make Hellkite have a reason for that effect

ashen warren
#

excuse me

#

mortal

#

make truememe sword the size of a house

#

problem solved

sand umbra
#

but like

#

just. give Fiery Greatsword slightly faster useTime/useAnimation and give it an on-hit effect

ashen warren
#

if I could I'd make it do something like

#

trailing fire slightly outwards in a sense

sand umbra
#

if you expect it to be meta in the face of shit like the Crusher Blades you have another thing coming, but it should at least be usable

ashen warren
#

like the ravager drop but worse

#

crusher blade is so strong

#

why is it that strong

#

was the meta until carnage

#

and it's uh

#

post-evil boss

sand umbra
#

the Crusher Blades are actually stupidly good from what I can tell

ashen warren
#

yes

#

one inflicts pre-hm ichor

#

the other CI iirc

sand umbra
#

ye

ashen warren
#

and have special effects on crit

#

and big damage and size

#

and fast

sand umbra
#

crits also reduce enemy contact damage and defense, respectively

ashen warren
#

Like bruh

#

Full package swords basically

#

Though it makes sense imo

sand umbra
#

they are everything a true melee player could ever want

ashen warren
#

True melee needs a lot of effects for it to actually perform

sand umbra
#

the drawback: they have no projectiles TaxEvasion

ashen warren
#

Effects that would normally be op

#

Giving fgs a projectile is a no though imo

sand umbra
#

byeah

#

the point I'm trying to make is that even if the Fiery Greatsword gets a buff, it'll need to be a pretty fat one for it to compete with these two titans

ashen warren
#

exactly

#

same here

#

the sugg is about projectiles though

#

which is a hard disagree

sand umbra
#

yeah that's gonna be a no from me chief

ashen warren
#

make it basically a crusher alt

#

perhaps more attack oriented

sand umbra
#

already got enough projectile vomit swords as it is, let's try to keep true melee relevant :v

ashen warren
#

bigger dps but no cd reduction and such

sand umbra
#

make Fiery Greatsword the lesser Hellkite

ashen warren
#

hellkite just explodes right?

#

That ain't much imo

sand umbra
#

Hellkite takes FGS though

ashen warren
#

you find that on old lord and how viable is that again?

sand umbra
#

so it's somewhere to start from, logically

ashen warren
#

so basically

#

add boom to fgs

#

and some other shenanigans

#

also transfer that to hellkite

#

and you've got a viable sord/s

sand umbra
#

and a reason for Hellkite to exist

ashen warren
#

shhhh

#

Suggestion: Holy Hand Grenade

#

do you guys self star 🤔

ashen warren
#

huh

#

i mean i have nothing against self star i just want to know if the average person does it

#

on average most people don't iirc
mainly because of the attitude fostered by a certain someone

#

and as for that hhg suggestion, why should there be a huge bomb?

hollow shell
#

@ashen warren I'm gonna say that's a specific item suggestion, which isn't allowed
It does refer to an item that exists in other Terraria versions, but it's not really our place to add those kinds of items. It probably already exists in the Consolaria mod

#

(also the Terraria devs have told modders to not add any version-exclusive items to other versions. Consolaria is directly breaking that rule but it still exists)

if this is the case, can someone explain Lazinator's existence to me, please?

#

Laser Rifle "upgrade" except it's just lefunny immediate upgrade
it's also a blatant Zapinator reference/knockoff even though the referenced item is a 3DS-exclusive

tranquil vale
#

The Lazinator's model and name are a reference to the Zapinator, which in turn is a reference to a light gun peripheral for the NES.

#

and the zapinator was on the destop version (in the early version of it but it was)

sand umbra
#

...and also the sky is blue

#

I know what happened to Zapinator; it was then removed from desktop like 2 versions after it was introduced, and is now a 3DS-exclusive Plantera drop that nobody seems to know the actual drop rate of

signal prairie
#

Isn't this off topic?

ashen warren
#

knowing the drop rate requires someone to actually play 3ds version

hollow shell
#

No, look at the most recent suggestion, and my ping on it

swift wadi
#

Zapinator was a dev 1 shot weapon wasn't it

hollow shell
#

The Lazinator is not the Zapinator
It's a reference to it, but it ain't the same

I wouldn't be surprised if the devs came in and said it wasn't okay, though

#

We could probably get away with a "Blessed Dynamite"

sand umbra
#

it's not the same, but it is extremely similar in all facets of its design

#

which is why it bothers me

tired haven

Zapinator wasn't oneshot wep, just quite powerful
