ashen warren
#

also in the post-moon lord Hallow and Underworld with the spawn of Scorn Eaters and Profaned Energy it would be really annoying

sand umbra
#

Demon Trophy already isn't a toggle

#

and I'm gonna be blunt with you, Squid

ashen warren
#

not counting the Impious inmolators cuz they has neutral AI

gusty geode
#

See why I suggested tying the 30x spawn to it

sand umbra
#

you're seriously overshooting a problem that if I may be frank doesn't really exist much at all

#

it does what it's supposed to do

#

it's a non-difficulty-locked drop from the Wall of Flesh that can't be turned off, you can't seriously expect it to have a huge effect

cobalt rose
#

i do not see why you suggested THIRTY TIMES the spawn rate

dense ferry
#

If you are more masochist than I, do it by yourself

#

Don't make some new player end his playthrough wihile accidentally trigerring this

ashen warren
#

After Suggesting that

#

u CAN do that shit?

#

Squid

karmic stone
#

"I've seen someone do it"

sand umbra
#

was that someone a newer player to Calamity who'll likely use all the items they get or most of them because they wanna see what the items do?

#

was that someone a newer player to Calamity who would use the Demon Trophy and then find #bugs-read-pins in the next five minutes asking what happened and how to turn it off?

#

was that someone a newer player to Calamity who literally cannot read and will never acknowledge the fact that the effect can't be reversed even after being told such?

#

imagine the absolute fucking swarm of new players in #bugs-read-pins that would scream about Demon Trophy's effect and ask how to turn it off

#

the change would be undone within 1 update

gusty geode
#

Not doing something because some idiot who doesn't read is gonna complain aside
I admit it was a bad idea
I figured something having a stupidly powerful upside should have an equally powerful downside

rapid pivot
#

here's a thought; what if Defiled Rune provided an additional, but smaller spawn rate bonus?

cobalt rose
#

where the fuck is the upside in that

dense ferry
#

The entire item is the downside

rapid pivot
#

like, y'know, 200-250% more spawn rates on top of its other effects?

sand umbra
#

your first and worst mistake was assuming newer players will look into the finer details of Calamity before starting to play it

#

that is what cost you the idea in the first place: the fact that people will be people

#

bonus points: also applies to those who haven't played in a while

dense ferry
#

I once placed the SCal lore item into my inventory and died to a Boss. I then discovered that you could undo the insta death on Bosses by taking it out

#

Imagine if I couldn't undo the action? My charachter would be completely lost

rapid pivot
#

i think he gets the point

dense ferry
#

With that item, the entire world would be gone

#

Just to finish

sand umbra
#

now then

dense ferry
#

Now, back to writing my history

rapid pivot
#

either way, here's a thought

sand umbra
#

should I sugg that Glacial State thing I wanna sugg, or should I instead sugg more Make OOA Great Again moments

...or should I pick something else entirely from the random list of shit I have planned for EE that I might wanna see pushed to main leaCheese

gusty geode
#

Even for how bad that was
"Too confusing for new players" still isn't a good reason not to do something imo

cobalt rose
#

yes it fucking is

dense ferry
#

Especially when you can't undo it

rapid pivot
#

Suggestion:
Add a 100-150% spawn rate boost to the effects of the Defiled Rune.
❔ With the Zerg potion debuffed, a major grinding tool is diminished. However, the Defiled Rune already exists as its own major grinding tool. An effect like this could add a bit of what Zerg does/did in aiding grinding, with the balance being the rest of Defiled's effects.

gusty geode
#

I'd upvote that

dense ferry
#

Maybe

sand umbra
#

@maiden bone can

#

can you give

dense ferry
#

M a y b e

sand umbra
#

any semblance of statistics that would help us determine if Vortex Beater is actually weaker than P90

cobalt rose
#

"near the same time"
one is post-plant and the other is post-LC

ashen warren
#

P90 with Crystal bullets it's op?

sand umbra
#

if this is the P90 + Acid Rounds shitfest again I swear to god

maiden bone
#

Nvm

cobalt rose
sand umbra
#

o ok

#

glad we got that sorted out

cobalt rose
rapid pivot
#

anyway; thoughts on my sugg?

#

that one, at least, is already well-established as a grinding tool

cobalt rose
#

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhh
its mostly for bosses, no?

rapid pivot
#

nah, it also boosts rare item drops

ashen warren
#

mmm

rapid pivot
#

and money

ashen warren
#

not bad at all

sand umbra
#

ye, Rune also boosts money and rare drops

ashen warren
#

but can annoy ur run like squid's suggest

sand umbra
#

okay but like

#

Rune can be toggled freely

ashen warren
#

ye

sand umbra
#

and if you're doing a playthrough with the Defiled Rune then like you signed up for some top-kek stuff

#

such as a Gastropod sniping you for 440 damage or some garbage like that

gusty geode
#

Do we need more RIVs

rapid pivot
#

RIVs?

sand umbra
#

...we don't really need them

#

they'd be cool, but we don't need them

ashen warren
#

Defilled Rune and the Blood Pact

rapid pivot
#

imo it'd be a matter of cutting down just a lil bit more on grind in exchange for the various penalties associated with the Defiled Rune

ashen warren
sand umbra
#

also, if I may...

ashen warren
#

CalAha : u're really stupid

#

phew

dense ferry
#

Maybe making a toggleabe item

#

Out from all the others

cobalt rose
#

battle horn from fargos

dense ferry
#

A unic item that increases the spawn rates, but with some downside

rapid pivot
#

tbh again; i can't see why that item can't be the Defiled Rune

#

it's already established as a challenge item/grind assist

sand umbra
#

On today's episode of "Frozen 2 is the best meme movie and it's up to you whether you wanna bother seeing it or not":
Adjust Glacial State to be more of a Hardmode Chilled variant rather than a Frozen variant.


Currently, Glacial State is inflicted by a whopping 3 things in Calamity. These things are Cryogen's ice bombs, Rev+ Destroyer's frost beams, and the Rev+ Ice Golem's frost beams. All 3 of these entities can rather easily combo the player if the debuff is proc'd on them --- like, incredibly easily --- and for Destroyer in particular it's one of the reasons the fight isn't really fair at all. Additionally, Glacial State as a debuff isn't too terribly unique, simply being Frozen but with some defense reduction applied. Reworking the debuff to be more like Chilled would not only allow for greater creative liberty to be taken with the debuff without it being unfair, but also indirectly make the aforementioned fights a little more reasonable.

#

thoughts?

ashen warren
#

not bad

#

seems good

rapid pivot
#

sure

ashen warren
#

it exist enemies related to the Nightmare's Fuel?

#

cuz the only enemy who drop that is Pumpking

hallow kraken
#

cool sug internet thomas man

sand umbra
#

alright, y'all know how it goes

#

any objections, speak now or forever hold your pieces txvsn

ashen warren
#

u have the Infinity Gauntlet emote?

sand umbra
#

no

ashen warren
#

i asked cuz the yoshi disappering emote

lost agate
zealous ridge
#

i would like to know what making it a variant of chilled would entail for you

#

and of course, there's a lot to consider

#

for the ice beams, i believe they inflict chilled as well, right?

lost agate
#

you move or you freeze solid

#

body temperature ya know

zealous ridge
#

... that actually might be interesting

lost agate
#

Its like an inverted electrified

zealous ridge
#

like perhaps you can't build up movement speed, it can only really go down when youre under the debuff

sand umbra
#

that's another more unique way to go with it!

#

honestly the point is mainly "Glacial State is just Frozen 2 and it shouldn't be"

zealous ridge
#

imo its worse than frozen

#

because at least youre allowed to move in any capacity at all via gravity

sand umbra
#

yeah Glacial State is literally Frozen but even stronger

zealous ridge
#

with glacial state its just you're stuck in place and in the perfect position to get comboed with the same freezing attack

#

fighting ice golems is not fun with his lasers basically being a near-death sentence unless you get lucky and he misses like 2 shots in a row

sand umbra
#

phase 2 Destroyer might as well be death on hit

zealous ridge
#

destroyer is stupis too, but like, i think its in a better state i guess

sand umbra
#

it really isn't

#

you can get hit like 3 or 4 times in the same barrage of lasers because of Glacial State's current effect

zealous ridge
#

the frost lasers i didnt have much of a problem with on my fight, but that was... my rogue playthrough

sand umbra
#

that's already most of your health gone

zealous ridge
#

of course, that's because i never let myself get hit by freeze lasers

sand umbra
#

and that's assuming you aren't dead by the time you can move again

zealous ridge
#

i can see it being unfair

sand umbra
zealous ridge
#

well at least p1 is manageble maybe idk

sand umbra
#

phase 1 is manageable

#

phase 2 is also manageable to a point but you are given a LOT less room for error

zealous ridge
#

im in early hm on my current playthrough, so im just getting around to fighting that guy

sand umbra
#

phase 3 is just death

zealous ridge
#

tbh i felt the same way about twins

#

p1 was manageable, p2 took like 2 attempts of practice, p3 took up most my time as i learned the pattern

#

it has been the hardest fight of my playthrough currently

#

worse than even SG/WoF

#

part of that might just be breaking vanilla habits learned over about 3000 hrs

#

but another part of me wants to say that i felt the room for error was much smaller than in other fights

#

slime god allowed you to get caught out a few times, like getting slightly punished by the flying wall of slimers if you didnt manage them or falling into a horde of spiked crimslimes

#

i mean you could escape that

#

but the mech bosses sofar have been a really big spike

sand umbra
#

I have. other issues with Slime God that I will eventually assess

#

the big thing with the Mechs in general is that they are an enormous difficulty spike

zealous ridge
#

yeah, not saying SG is really a perfect fight in comparison

sand umbra
#

I suppose the Glacial State rework sugg is, in part, an attempt to remedy that

zealous ridge
#

would make destroyer less daunting i suppose

#

but personally at least

#

giving a freeze attack that combos into literally any other high damage attack from a boss show up semi-randomly (as in different firing locations and random chance for the lasers to fire at any given time) doesnt really sound amazing to me, even on paper

tired haven
#

Test dummies are almost never a good representative of damage. Go slap cultist with both at least then

zealous ridge
#

yeah its important to consider defense

#

also what you lose in damage, you make up for in some amount of extra utility and ease of use

#

for instance, the homing rockets

#

and the fact that it doesnt chew through as much ammo (i think, havent done number checks on that)

tired haven
#

P90 more like Minus30 (bullets per second) CompleteFailure
But oh well, I agree p90 is somewhat powerful, just that the testing should be more accurate than on 0 defense target

maiden bone
#

I assume you mean with my old character and not the new one?

foggy kindle
#

What he meant is Super Dummy/Dummy has 0 defense

hollow shell
#

P90 is already getting nerfed iirc

sand umbra
#

...if I may ask

why

hollow shell
#

Too stronk

maiden bone
#

Best answer

sand umbra
#

follow-up:

foggy kindle
#

Rushing B is overrated, that's why HDfailure

sand umbra
#

is it too stronk with anything that isn't the fucking Acid Rounds meme

#

and do Acid Rounds work well with other weapons at all? too well, not well enough?

hollow shell
#

Frostspark Bullets are apparently also really good

sand umbra
#

that is. not one I expected to hear

#

I've never seen anyone ever unironically suggest Frostspark Bullets

#

so either I'm blind or they're really just not that great normally

hollow shell
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Test results look like all bullets are just really good with P90
With Acid being really really good

tired haven
#

I can't recall which of them is frostspark, the one with 2 pierce?

sand umbra
#

alright, so then it is P90 itself

#

sorta maybe possibly question mark?

tired haven
#

(there is too much ice related gear) Ech

zealous ridge
#

frostspark electrifies enemies and deals more damage to enemies immune to frostburn if i recall

tired haven
#

Maybe freezes?

hollow shell
#

Frostspark does not inflict Electrified, no

zealous ridge
#

hold on ill check this real quick

hollow shell
#

It inflicts Glacial State and deals more damage to enemies immune to Glacial State

zealous ridge
#

i know it doesnt actually inflict electrified

tired haven
#

At least now I recalled the actual frostspark, neat

hollow shell
#

Ah yes
"Has a chance to freeze enemies and explode into electricity"

zealous ridge
#

there you are

#

yeah that

hollow shell
#

Must be a new thing, it's not on the wiki

sand umbra
#

time to make Frostspark Bullets inflict Electrified

tired haven
#

2 pierce is icicle bullets then

Explode into electricity would mean sparks, no?

wooden wedge
#

@maiden bone what's the suggestion though?

sand umbra
#

no

#

no more sparks

#

there will be no more sparks in my presence

wooden wedge
#

and the p90 has a high DPS because it shoots a fuckton more bullets in a second than the vortex beater

tired haven
#

Man that really sparked out of nowhere

sand umbra
#

.

versed tundra
#

Too many similar yet completly different ice-themed ammo types HDfailure

sand umbra
#

no

#

please no

#

don't go shockin' me like this, crab

tired haven
zealous ridge
#

verium, frostspark, icy

#

enhanced nano

versed tundra
#

Aren't there arriws too?

#

Beside frostburn arrows?

zealous ridge
#

arctic, icy, frostburn ig

sand umbra
#

enhanced nano rounds are literally meme

zealous ridge
#

yeh but essence of eleum so ig ice ??? cold maybe

tired haven
#

Icy arrows are better meme iirc

versed tundra
#

Eleum is the essence of zen potions too

zealous ridge
#

okay so uhh

#

alright you beat me

versed tundra
#

It was weird the first time playing the mod when you got acess to two new bars, both ice-themed for killing one boss

wooden wedge
#

is this sugg a ding dong ditch?

#

he's offline

zealous ridge
#

nah he responded

versed tundra
#

In retrospect, it makes sense, if you consider the "bar of life" trio to be thematic upgrades to chlorophite, hellstone and frigid bars

wooden wedge
#

also what's the suggestion here, even?

#

he just said the DPS of the vortex beater vs the P90

zealous ridge
#

ye we talking about ammo in general now

#

it is somewhat tangentially related

hallow kraken
#

a lot of effort with that test

sand umbra
#

if you consider the "bar of life" trio to be thematic upgrades to chlorophite, hellstone and cryo bars

#

Cryonic Bars and Frigid Bars are literally the same tier

zealous ridge
#

well yeah

#

but thematically theyre similar i guess...???

#

its a rough connection but i can see it

versed tundra
#

Cryo bars make a stronger set I thought?

hollow shell
#

"Cryo Bars are an upgrade to Cryo Bars"

zealous ridge
#

frost and daeladus are about the same effectiveness

#

id say

versed tundra
#

Yeah I mixed-up the names

zealous ridge
#

at least if you're melee/ranged

sand umbra
#

"hmm yes these cold bars are upgrades to other identical cold bars"

zealous ridge
sand umbra
#

the placement of Cryonic Bars kinda strikes me as weird, tbf

versed tundra
#

Frigid bars feel like downgrades in some ways to adamantite and titanium, since they can only make one set and can't make a forge

foggy plover
#

arent they literally just there to craft the cryogen drops?

#

they arent even a sidegrade imo

sand umbra
#

they're just

#

there.

versed tundra
#

I'm prob. wrong, but doesn't permafrost already sell many cryogen drops?

sand umbra
#

no

#

Frigid Bars are used to craft them

versed tundra
#

They are a pitty timer for the kelvin catalist CompleteFailure

hollow shell
#

Permafrost sells unique stuff

versed tundra
#

Like the sea king, right

sand umbra
#

I guess my thing of it is

#

any item that can be made with Frigid Bars, sans Arctic Arrows and Icy Bullets, can also drop from Cryogen

#

so the number of unique items they create? is really low

versed tundra
#

Make frigid bars great again

sand umbra
#

then again that's a lot of Calamity materials in a nutshell

versed tundra
#

I'm almost thinking they should be part of pre-hardmode somehow to be farther away from cryonic bars

#

Or maybe the other way around : make cryo bars harder to get somehow

#

The only roadblock to the daedalus set is cryogen and geeting the third demon altar ore pickaxe

#

It doesn't seem too powerful for where it's at

#

Hmmm... I don't even have an hypothetical solution to make the frigid bars stand-out more without straight-up adding more crafting uses.

ashen warren
#

Hi guys i have a suggestion but i have to ask some things before to send it

#

i think dog should be harder (more life, damage, etc)

#

but without the second fase and the sentinels

#

and after ALL the bossess be the final boss with the second phase and the sentinels

#

i know is a big change but is ridicoulous that a eye is stronger than "THE DEVOURER OF GODS"

hollow shell
#

We kinda already have DoG's final phase as a climax with the Boss Rush

#

(also, lore)

karmic stone
#

SCal is not staying as an eye also

ashen warren
#

but the boss rush is optional

hollow shell
#

Indeed

#

Technically SCal is also optional

karmic stone
#

And DoG's nickname is an exaggeration also also

hollow shell
#

She's a Superboss

#

... technically you could just stop playing at Yharon I guess, if you don't wanna experience the content after him
or any boss for that matter

#

depends on what you consider "optional" to mean

ashen warren
#

maybe the first fight against dog could be a copy like calamitas

hollow shell
#

Eh, would be too close in progression
and we already have Storm Weaver

hallow kraken
#

Also scal being an eye is temporary

#

Oh wait someone already said that

#

And I don’t see the reason to make DoG harder, he’s completely fine and fun at his tier

hollow saffron
#

@maiden bone what do you want implemented

#

i dont understand

#

owo is that a boss suggestion i see

sand umbra
#

DoG is already horrible for newer players as he is to be quite frank
m

hollow saffron
#

^

hollow shell
#

It's a bit of a grey area whether splitting DoG into two boss fights counts as a "boss suggestion"
cuz it's not adding anything new

#

I don't think it counts.

ashen warren
#

but its not to add a new boss

hallow kraken
#

I don’t think making yharim’s wacky wonderful double demigod eating worm the final boss would make sense compared to say his loyal pet dragon that saved him from death

ashen warren
#

dog is a creation of yharim?

hallow kraken
#

wh

gusty geode
#

Where would a DoG clone fight even go

#

In progression

hollow shell
#

DoG serves Yharim, but was not created by Yharim

#

Yharim hired DoG, basically.

hallow kraken
#

yharim didn’t make dog, he kinda just appeared randomly in his life to eat some yummy troops

sand umbra
#

DoG literally only sticks around Yharim for the free food

ashen warren
#

that has no sense,if the dog serves to yharim that means that he is more than a god

hollow shell
#

Remember that DoG couldn't beat Signus either

hallow kraken
#

confusion

gusty geode
#

He kinda is

hollow shell
#

Sometimes it comes down to more than just raw power

#

(the player, for instance, is significantly weaker than literally any boss they fight)

hallow kraken
#

and plus it’s the official lore and you can’t argue with the official lore

sand umbra
#

Perfs would like a word with you

hallow kraken
#

heck

sand umbra
#

they themselves argue with the official lore

hallow kraken
#

at terry muse hey can you change the lore so I’m correct

gusty geode
#

Anyway
In the event a DoppelDoG(?) fight became a thing
I would put it between Sentinels and Polter
You fight the Sentinels, summon what a new player would think is DoG
Beat him, make it seem like DoG is gone
Then you kill Polter
And then gain the ability to fight the real DoG

sand umbra
#

ech

#

I'd honestly make them much further apart if I were to even bother with the idea

hollow shell
#

Calamitas and SCal for instance are waaay separate

sand umbra
#

daily reminder that Clonamitas and SCal are literally half the game apart

#

fuck, I've been sniped HDfailure

gusty geode
#

Fair

ashen warren
#

basically the doppelDoG is where the actual DoG is without the second phase and the sentinels but weaker and the real is the same figth as the actual but at the end of the game and stronger

hollow shell
#

Again, I think the Boss Rush has you covered there

#

Yharon and SCal kinda deserve to be placed higher than DoG if we're talking about lore
DoG's just a hungry being who's naturally an all-powerful, cocky bitch.
Useful tool for Yharim to dispose of enemies, yes, but pretty much just a really good employee.

Yharon was Yharim's companion for life and SCal has her whole lore... and yknow, Supreme Calamitas kinda the embodiment of the Calamity Mod
(and Draedon, coming after Yharon later, was Yharim's right hand man and the guy who made all his gear)

sand umbra
#

and then, of course, you have the Big Bad himself

hollow shell
#

The only things planned after SCal in the future are Yharim himself
followed later by literal actual God

sand umbra
#

who terrorized all the land and all its subsidaries in his quest for conquest

hollow shell
#

(with I guess "Satan" in between)

#

(eldritch slime satan)

ashen warren
#

ok now i know more about the lore

#

i was wrongtaxevasion

hollow shell

On today's episode of "Xul that's kinda cool tho":

Give Exo Freeze a much more unique ability and make less bosses immune to it.

Reason: Exo Freeze is literally just Glacial State/Stoned/Frozen/standing in Minecraft cobwebs with a rebranded name. This really gives it nothing unique at all. Not just that, but many bosses are also immune to it, and the ones that aren't get oneshotted by the weapons that do inflict it(exo weapons). An example of this would be 'freezing' bosses' ability to summon projectiles for a few seconds, after which they get a 30 second period of immunity to the debuff. Thank you for listening to today's episode, Xul out.
P.S.: Limiting bosses' ability to summon projectiles is just an EXAMPLE

hollow shell
#

Well the problem with that is
When aren't you hitting the bosses with your exo weapons?

#

You'd be inflicting it all the time

hollow saffron
#

thats why i said the boss would get a period of immunity

#

and its just an example of something more unique

sand umbra
#

Exo Freeze is literally just an excuse to have more cool flavor xd debuffs

hollow saffron
#

indeed

sand umbra
#

functionally speaking, anything Exo Freeze can do, Frozen and current Glacial State can do just as well

hollow saffron
#

if bosses weren't immune to that too HyperFailure

gusty geode
#

Aren't most bosses immune to movement-impairing debuffs to remove the need to program how they react to them

hollow shell
#

No, they'd all react just fine

#

s'balancing reasons

aight

#

put in a disclaimer

queen delta
#

Trying to copy thomas' style i see

hollow saffron
#

smh yata

You could fit that a bit more elegantly into the reason but I guess that's fine

eviscerate (under my hands)

hollow saffron

hm how could i do that rover

#

just say AN EXAMPLE in caps?

why is everyone copying my special style now echbegone

I didn't sign up for this

(sugg looks good btw)

#

thanc

hollow shell
#

"... 30 second period of immunity to the debuff. Just an example, though, doesn't need to be like this. Thank you... "

#

somethin like that

hollow saffron
#

ah ok

#

aight i changed it

#

so anything else to change, or am i good to go

#

ok i assume thats a yes

hollow shell
#

Wording isn't the best but it's fine

#

Almost seems like the "unique effect" is a separate thing from the projectile freezing

hollow saffron
#

oh

#

oof

Breaker Space's suggestion is the most recent

yeah lol

hollow saffron

i scrolled up

hollow shell

Wording seems fine now

🤦‍♂️

and the exact way in which i scrolled up made it appear as if there was a new sugg with no reason

#

ok ill post it

hearty yew
#

@maiden bone I figure this has been talked about earlier, but that isn't really a suggestion.

Dummies have zero defense. Try that same test on an enemy with even 20 defense and you'll see a huge DPS difference.

You can't reliably test DPS on dummies for this reason.

One thing I'm concerned about with exo freeze affecting bosses is that their ai goes bonkers

They do not account for exo freeze stopping them in their tracks, and also sometimes plain cease to function properly (altho the brightest example of that, Spirit of Purity, is from another mod)

gusty geode

I had mentioned that
But Rover said it wasn't an issue

hollow shell

Admittedly I haven't seen it with my own eyes
(except DoG)

#

I don't know just how broken it can get

tired haven
#

🤷‍♀️

hollow shell
#

I assumed it just set their velocities to 0. It'd cause problems, yeah, but I wouldn't think it'd break anything irreparably

Seraph, explode. that is all

in other news, good sugg

radiant meadow
#

I barely was able to add a mod call just for the bool of whether the bar shows or not

sand umbra
#

oh there's a call for that?

radiant meadow
#

barely as in Ozz did it

#

next update

sand umbra
#

I was wondering how to set that up CompleteFailure

radiant meadow
#

next update there will be a mod call so you can detect if the bar is showing or not

it was requested by the YABHB creator

Any plans to put the vanilla items on the calamity wiki

cobalt rose
#

no

void kelp
#

the wiki has a list of vanilla changes and links to vanilla where relevant

manic yew
#

The only place I find it's needed is when a vanilla item builds into a calamity item

#

E.g. solar eruption -> mourningstar

radiant meadow
#

perhaps the recipe finder page can help you

manic yew
#

I'll bet it could lol

radiant meadow

press Edit source and read the instructions

how about next time I ping yer

I don't see why you wouldn't just leave it to Brav and the others to do it, not like 6 people need to be reporting in suggs

A proper system could very easily be put in place, and I feel it's already mostly implied

I need that

distant gyro

has to mark their own as complete, manually

why does his back feet not make shadows

ashen warren
#

I was unaware of the timing

#

My apologies

hallow hatch
#

Bruh

green pumice
#

just delete the sugg and it'll be fine

hallow hatch
#

I feel like true melee falls under this category

swift wadi
#

True melee is a subclass by definition

hallow hatch
#

and the fucking pre boss flamethrower stuff

#

It’s a subclass, no reason for these suggs

green pumice
#

a subclass is basically a smaller group of a class

hallow hatch
#

Or early game guns

green pumice
#

so any class that isnt melee, ranger, mage, summoner or rouge is a subclass

hallow hatch
#

My point is there is lots of talk, or so I’ve heard, of adding prehm guns, scal true melee, etc for the sole reason of “true melee/ranger/Yoyo is difficult and hard to do”

green pumice
#

true melee scal is possible

#

just not a good idea

hallow hatch
#

It is

ashen warren
#

In other words

#

very difficult

hallow hatch
#

But I’ve heard people say they need a new true melee to make scal in true melee viable

green pumice
#

ein did it

#

the video is like 2 hours long

hallow hatch
#

That’s not my argument

#

It’s definitely possible but people want more versatility for the sole reason of “difficult so make easy”

green pumice
#

the only reason i see for these subclasses is that youtube revenue babyyyyy

tepid root
tired haven
#

It only became a thing because ranger came with shroomite helmets, change my mind

hollow shell
#

I'm pretty sure people would make the distinction between swords and boomerangs regardless of whether there was a unique damage buffing precedent set

tired haven
#

I'd not be so sure because without a precedent separating these things doesn't really make sense
Summoner has melee summons and ranged summons, yet even currently no one talks about that echcrunk

hollow shell
#

There's no separation precedent between Wands, Tomes, and Magic Guns apart from visual style, yet they're separated nonetheless

#

... which yeah I guess it doesn't make too much sense but it's good for organization

tired haven
#

Le shrug
I mean, it's highly unlikely for shroomite helmets to be the exact cause but well, that's certainly one of the bigger factors

#

It's not like wiki forced the subclasses into community, since it's organization sake as you mentioned

hallow hatch
#

Everyone got the Thomas style

swift wadi
#

smh

hollow shell
#

For better or for worse...

#

nah its just worse

hallow hatch
#

Y’all should get yo own styles

tired haven
#

It's worse because it's why all over again

lost agate
#

Its why but stretched to a paragraph

tired haven
#

Accurate

zenith hazel
#

yeah this is just getting repetitive, it contributes basically nothing to suggestions

#

if you're going to suggest something, get to the point instead of having a long-winded introduction

split narwhal
#

On today's episode of why can't people be more original

zenith hazel
#

it started off normal with 1 person, then it started to become a trend which was really unnecessary

tired haven
#

Personally I do like to bring up trivia in suggestions but only if it is directly linked with the subject of said suggestion

zenith hazel
#

yes you can give context to your suggestion, obviously, but at least that has a meaning to the suggestion itself

swift wadi
#

I feel bad for Thomas, I thought his style of sugg was pretty funny and a refresher tbh, but now it's gonna be memed so much I dont think it'll have any impact anymore

tired haven
#

Can't exactly agree because funny or not it was a mild distraction, but as OC that suffers a lot due to copycat tendency that will get the whole thing banned

swift wadi
#

I didn't personally see it as a distraction, it was a simple start to a suggestion, now it's getting repetitive sure but i like his suggs having some personality

#

Should all suggs have personality? Does it make the sugg itself better? No, but still I see no harm

zenith hazel
#

does a suggestion need personality when you're just suggesting to add/adjust/remove something from the mod?

#

the whole point is that it's straightforward

tired haven
#

Personality is here only to appeal to people more tbh

zenith hazel
#

I'd argue that content is more important than personality

swift wadi
#

Which technically makes it a good marketing tactic :stonks:

#

I'm kidding

tired haven
#

Indeed, brav

#

But that's how it be currently

#

(it's not like i personally miss out on flavor either when suggesting but eh)

frail mantle
#

Tbh I see it kinda like slapping a sprite onto your suggestion

swift wadi
#

I don't wanna argue it or anything, because it's a really small thing that isn't like end of the world, and I for sure agree that at this point it's just annoying

split narwhal
#

Btw is my sug good or does it need improvement?

zenith hazel
#

it's like having a sprite on there yea, yet way less effort and way less flooding

frail mantle
#

Doesn’t necessarily do any harm but sure as hell catches people’s attention

tired haven
#

iirc it does harm to suggestor unless their sprite was art-tier echcrunk

frail mantle
#

I know because I’m guilty of it

zenith hazel
#

the next thing you know there will be someone come in with a 5-paragraph essay properly formatted in MLA; you know what, that's such a fresh style that it might as well be effective

tired haven
#

i thought half a screen suggestions were already discouraged? KEKW

radiant meadow
#

absolutely not letting bosses inflicted with glacial state

#

movement affecting debuffs can potentially break the AI

queen delta

Also that’s just incredibly op

Yes, I agree bosses should be immune to less debuffs, but glacial state shouldnt be one of them

Also wot is that formula for

what

zenith hazel
#

I smell meme suggestion

frail mantle
#

meme sugg moment

versed tundra
#

@blissful pine checkpins

zenith hazel
#

yeah no meme suggestions please

hollow shell
#

uh ohhh

blissful pine
#

its not a meme, it is a serious suggestion. I think it would be really entertaining

zenith hazel
#

or at least give a valid reason other than "haha sans"

hollow shell
#

It is, actually

blissful pine
#

Ok give me a moment

versed tundra
#

Sans is a meme

zenith hazel
#

adrenaline has no correlation to sans

blissful pine
#

let me go type up a whole fucking paragraph about why adrenaline should give the player a blue eye brb

placid moth
#

did you mean: some sort of visual effect to indicate adrenaline mode

versed tundra
#

If the point was "visibility" then you'd have chosen something easier to see about the player than an eye color change

placid moth
#

the idea is there, i guess

hollow shell
#

iirc the player already emits dust?

placid moth
#

what

lofty blade
#

yeah the player does emit dust

#

when adrenaline is active

swift bison
#

it's not all that noticeable tho

hollow shell
#

Yeah it could be more obvious

lofty blade
#

but adrenaline is a conscious action that you make, and comes with a sound effect along with a massive boost to your damage, i don't really see the need for the usage to be more obvious

hollow shell
#

Not the usage, but the duration

swift bison
#

what if rage and adrenaline mode both drew an animated flame aura over the player or something

hollow shell
#

I always look up at the buff bar for the icon
which is a tad annoying

swift bison
#

red for rage, blue or green for adren

hollow shell
#

(I would say "something like a DBZ aura" but the DBT men wouldn't like that)

placid moth
#

I dont rly notice the buff icon, it's like 5 seconds and I need to fully focus on aiming

fleet night
#

wait theres a buff icon?

placid moth
fleet night
#

i always judge it by when my character stops sparking

blissful pine
#

Ok i wrote up that damn paragraph

fleet night
#

also i use the other glowy eye thing already

hollow shell
#

Well the thing is, now

#

The blue eye is unnecessarily specific

#

You could just say "a more obvious visual effect on the player" or something

lofty blade
#

can't there be a more noticeable effect or somet- yeah ^

loud steeple
#

SANS!!!!!!

fleet night
#

AHHHHHHHHH

quiet abyss
#

Can ya both not

blissful pine
#

I'm just saying, a big thick blue trail emitting from your characters forehead is a very obvious indicator of adrenaline

hollow shell
#

Doesn't need to be the forehead

fleet night
#

maybe just a blue dust trail

blissful pine
#

but it could be

quiet abyss
#

Just any visual indicator to make it more obvious would be fine

blissful pine
#

it doesnt need to be, but it can

hollow shell
#

It could be, but it doesn't need to be

#

Which is why your suggestion should be more general

quiet abyss
#

^ No need to specify it

hollow shell
#

There's nothing intrinsic to foreheads that would make the indication more obvious than just emiting from the center of the character

safe sail
#

is there not the bwoom sound when it hits full

frail mantle
#

rather say something like "Give the player a more clear indicator when the player uses Adrenaline, like a blue eye"

hollow shell
#

Nah that's not what he's suggesting, grimm

#

It's for after you activate it

mighty mica
#

He wants to know when the adrenaline runs out

safe sail
#

oh

#

maybe another sound

hollow shell
#

Actually, gives me an idea

#

yeah

safe sail
#

like a discharge type sound

blissful pine
#

I mean, there were other undertale references back in the earlier days of the mod

hollow shell
#

Considering Adrenaline Burnout is getting removed
we could reuse that sound for when it runs out

swift bison
safe sail
#

oh bruh

mighty mica
#

thats exactly what I was thinking yeah rover

safe sail
#

why is burnout getting slapped

mighty mica
#

that would be very good imo

placid moth
#

epic

hollow shell
#

I dunno why burnout existed in the first place

lofty blade
#

that would be a great idea

fleet night
#

and now im just imagining Yharim just sitting there with a constant flame

zenith hazel
#

burnout is dead next update anyway

loud steeple
#

Burnout was just... annoying

swift bison
#

ye having the burnout sound play for adren runnning out is a good idea

hollow shell
#

It's not like you could properly time an automatic meter
not easily anyway

versed tundra
#

What is burnout?

lofty blade
#

it existed to keep people from just saving up their adrenaline to skip a specific phase iirc

safe sail
#

i mean something different than a sputtering out sound would be better imo

placid moth
#

^why would you keep ppl from saving their adrena for appropriate moments

lofty blade
#

burn out is when adrenaline deals less damage because you didn't use it

hollow shell
#

Adrenaline gets weaker if your meter is full for too long and you don't activate it

versed tundra
#

Oh

karmic stone
#

I panicked whenever I heard burnout tbh SirenCringe

safe sail
hollow saffron
#

doesnt adrenaline have a thing at the top

#

like

#

a bar

#

that charges

#

or something like that

mighty mica
#

but he apparently doesnt want to look at it since hes focused on dodging

lost agate
#

Burnout existed because death adren memed on too much shit the moment you got it

But now that adren isnt gonna be as strong AND getting hit even when its full removes it, theres basically no reason to have burnout anymore

karmic stone
#

Ok but

zenith hazel
#

tone down with the fragmenting please

loud steeple
#

I just allways forgot I had adrenaline since I wanted to be in a half decent spot to use it but since my memory is shit j would forget it 3 seconds after I got it

hollow saffron
#

imean like you can tell when adrenaline runs out

karmic stone
#

Imagine rippers without a sound that tells you it's filled

hollow saffron
#

like you do less damage

#

ikr add

hollow shell
#

imagine reading damage numbers in the middle of a fight

hollow saffron
#

you can see the boss bar tho

#

😳

safe sail
#

maybe there could be a sort of small debuff damage after using adrenaline

hollow shell
#

I'm pretty sure just
a sound for when it runs out will suffice.

hollow saffron
#

yes

mighty mica
#

byeah I think reusing the burnout sound for when it runs out would be fantastic

safe sail
#

cause adrenaline eats energy like hell in the real world

loud steeple
#

I think a debuff for after rage runs out would be better then adrenaline

safe sail
#

or maybe it could charge faster on low hp

hollow saffron
#

why should there be a debuff for rage

lost agate
#

Yeah the burnout sound would be like when you eat too much sugar and all the energy goes away CompleteFailure

hollow saffron
#

"You realize the consequences of your bloody stabbing spree"

loud steeple
#

Maybe they both could have a tired debuff?

lost agate
#

and then you faint

hollow saffron
#

rage charging faster on low hp sounds good tho

safe sail
#

burnout is something passing off not an "all done" sound

hollow saffron
#

adrenaline could charge faster above 50%

placid moth
#

no more ripper strats to skip yhar phases i guess

lost agate
#

Good luck

hollow saffron
#

just make him immune to damage halfway between phases

sand umbra

if this next sugg steals my style too I swear to god--

#

oh

#

this is neat :o

blissful pine
#

would it be at a % of your health or after taking a certain amount of damage or once you get to like, 100 health

safe sail
#

like it could probably charge up before the near death part but you need to be on the verge to activate it

#

im thinking around 25%

#

also what do any of the reacts besides star means in suggs

sand umbra
#

if WoF gets a homing projectile I'm actually gonna flip my shit

#

can we not do this meme

night cradle
#

WoF buff ech

ashen warren
#

how is that a meme

tepid root
#

god please no

ashen warren
#

wof is way too easy

frail mantle
#

do Leeches or whatever those worm fucks are called count as homing projectiles

safe sail
#

try the other difficulties

tepid root
#

yes but homing projectile is definitely not the way to make it harder

night cradle
#

WoF is already hard enough on Rev and higher
Especially with charges, lasers and respawning Hungries

sand umbra
#

then give it attacks that are actually unique and build off of the pre-existing ideas induced by the boss

placid moth
#

@ashen warren if you want a difficult wof just go maso or something

sand umbra
#

don't give it an uninspired homing projectile that doesn't actually solve anything and just makes the fight stupid

tepid root
#

^^^

ashen warren
#

ok then how about mouth spitting fire

placid moth
#

what the fuck

tepid root
#

lol maso

safe sail
#

yup

sand umbra
#

honestly I think WoF is probably fine as it is

night cradle
#

^

quartz hare
#

sand umbra
#

it isn't exactly a very complex boss

#

setting up its arena is the real boss fight here, you have to understand

safe sail
#

we dont need to make getting to hm some great leap

subtle oracle
#

Wof is literally just running straight to the left or right, the lasers never touch you if you do so

safe sail
#

having to grind to the best of the best to scrape by

ashen warren
#

Yes

safe sail
#

they do

ashen warren
#

Thats why i suggested that

sand umbra
#

yes, and that makes up for it taking 5 years to make an arena for the Great Waffle

frail mantle
#

except WoF constantly moves up and down

sand umbra
#

all while being fucked in the ass by a billion Hell enemies

safe sail
#

so wtf do the reacts in suggestions mean

ashen warren
#

wof moving up and done isnt a problem

safe sail
#

the exclamation and the check and the flag and stuff

frail mantle
#

so unless you use literal hours to create the perfect waffle arena simply walking doesn't really help

tepid root
#

that is correct, but a homing projectile thatll force you to move slowly in wof, will fuck you up so hard, especially at low hp

placid moth
#

honestly you can just use luiafk to cheese the arena

safe sail
#

arenas zerowheeze

quiet abyss
sand umbra
#

hmm yes this boss that requires a ton of setup in an environment that is incredibly hostile should be really difficult and discourage the literal only strategy for the fight! this won't make newer players tear their hair out at all, nope!

placid moth
#

is that the oran berry blissey

sand umbra
#

bruh I don't fuckin' know HDfailure

blissful pine
#

Any suggestion I dont like is a meme and should not be added!!!!

sand umbra
#

I always thought it was Kirby

placid moth
#

oh god

night cradle
#

WoF is only really easy if you prepare much for it
Same goes for others, yes, but for this one specifically because of how WoF and the Underworld work

quiet abyss
#

^

tepid root
#

good argument man

sand umbra
#

literally the best way to explain it

safe sail
#

i already have to fight a 24k hp wof with moon lord beams and hella speed

ashen warren
#

Other bosses cannot be nohitted effortlessly like wof even if u have a good arena

quiet abyss
#

If you don't prepare for it for hours and try to fight it with uneven grounds and towers in the way then WoF can be rather difficult

safe sail
#

and can barely manage that

sand umbra
#

90% of the difficulty in WoF lies in the sheer unpredictability of the Underworld and its terrain

#

not to mention the enemies that constantly harass you when you do try to set up shop

quartz hare
#

fight wof without arena so here's a difficty

that one suggestion about the eye HDfailure

#

@blissful pine So, are you going to make your suggestion more general or no?

fervent citrus
#

i like it

blissful pine
#

No, I'm not

#

Blue eye or bust

fervent citrus
#

it seems fine ccept for the word damn in the wrong place

hollow shell
#

Welp

fervent citrus
#

ok i see now

#

:l

quartz hare
#

haha sands jokes

hollow shell
#

yknow
it wouldn't be hard to edit the suggestion

#

It could be valid and not a meme if you just changed a few words

zenith hazel
#

cryo’s getting reworked anyway

sand umbra
#

I'm stunned
someone actually wants to buff Cryogen

blissful pine
#

its not a damn meme

#

It is a serious suggestion

hollow shell
#

Then change it

ashen warren
#

What few words

zenith hazel
#

so I’d say wait and see how new cryo turns out to suggest changing him again

hollow shell
#

Change it to not have a blue eye in it

#

And itll be valid

ashen warren
#

For the wof one?

blissful pine
#

Why does the blue eye make it unvalid as a suggestion

#

I literally dont understand

safe sail
fervent citrus
#

cause its a meme sadly

hollow shell
#

You prefaced this whole convo with "haha sans"

tepid root
#

sans from undertale

hollow shell
#

That was your original reason

blissful pine
#

And i changed it

zenith hazel
#

but it’s still a blue eye, no?

hollow shell
#

But you didn't change the actual meme part

blissful pine
#

I wrote a whole paragraph about why I was making the suggestion

ashen warren
#

@sand umbra why not buff cryogen

#

difficulty too far off from other mechs

frail mantle
#

Cryoven is meant to be the easiest HM boss

hollow shell
#

The blue eye is not intrinsic to your reason
You could say "any more obvious effect" or something on those lines

keen geyser
#

because he's getting reworked

zenith hazel
#

I just said cryo’s getting reworked, so just wait and see

safe sail
#

enjoyable > hard as balls

hollow shell
#

Why have you chosen Sans as your hill to die on

ashen warren
#

ok then ill delete it

placid moth
#

Are you going to make my Cryo experience even more insufferable

sand umbra
#

tbf that's an issue of all three Mechanical Bosses being considerably overtuned but I'll address that some other time

anywho yeah there really isn't a need to buff Cryogen so much as just. make him more interesting
which I figure the upcoming rework will do just fine

blissful pine
#

Gee I didnt realise people got so heated over a fucking blue eye

safe sail
#

i put on expert rev and maso and then install antisocial to make it easier

#

idk why

fervent citrus

we werent heated

we just listen to the rules

You're the only one who's mad here but ok

fervent citrus
#

basically, i know what you want, alula, and i see why youre confused, when i just entered the server (im not saying you did), i suggested adding the rod of discord, and yea, it was inevitably a meme....

#

but then, i was told off for the suggestion and, like you, wondered why were people so mad, but later i noticed how the idea was i little too... meme-ish (im not saying i dont like memes, dont get me wrong, but there kinda is a limit well have to deal with)

#

so i just lived with it taxevasion

#

there is no realistic reason you would need to know when your adrenaline is over, is there?

fervent citrus
#

not really any

#

but still, i see what he meant

sand umbra
#

pretty sure you'd know anyway when your damage stops being extra kek

keen geyser
#

like you're holding left click whether you have adrenaline or not

#

therefore that sugma is simply for the reference, unless I'm missing something

fervent citrus
#

but still the eye would be kinda funny not suggesting it dont kill me pls

lost agate
#

Ya know the running strat only works when you have an extremely good arena right

#

If someone took that long to make an arena for the running strat to work, then probably you shouldnt punish them for it echcrisp

(Convo's been wrapped up already, no need to bring it up again)

again with the unreleased change sugmas

@normal otter That's a don't

#

devs: don't suggest things related to upcoming content
people: that sign won't stop me because i can't read

hollow idol
#

This logic applies to any mention of checkpins

#

I almost suggested adding check the pins to the server name once while i was sleep deprived

hollow shell
#

@normal otter You don't know how thick the haze will be, if it'll be severe enough to cause problems to the visually impaired

it needs to be more p u r p l e

#

Acctually, I did a suggestion a while back, where I suppose the change of the laser sprite ravager shoot to a blood burst, by many reasons. It got the 90 stars, and accepted by the devs, but, I don't know if it happened to decide to not implent or if the sug got lost in time, but until now I have no idea if the devs discarted the option or forgot about it. Sorry if I'm breaking any rule by this comment, just want to know what happened about my suggestion

fervent citrus
#

dont worry, itll be added at some point

#

(im pretty sure anyways)

dense ferry
#

Ok

hollow idol
#

“accepted by devs”
it doesnt have a flag so it isnt guaranteed

dense ferry
#

It's a bit old, so I thought that maybe they could have forgot about it

queen sail
#

I’m not sure why Ravager has lasers

radiant meadow
#

Approved does not mean it is going to be implemented

#

It just means a couple of devs approved of the change

dense ferry
#

I know

#

It's because the sugg is old, and I never received a "accepted but not implemented", so I decided to say it here

radiant meadow
#

What's the issue?

dense ferry
#

Honestly, just me being impacient, sorry about that

hollow shell
#

We get a lotta suggestions
and a lot of em are liked but later forgotten
(or, planned for later)

#

It's understandable to be concerned but acknowledge that a majority of delivered suggestions go unimplemented, even if approved

dense ferry
#

Ok, thanks for saying

hollow shell
#

We can't implement everything or we'd have no time to do our own stuff :P

#

Your suggestion would admittedly not be difficult to do

hollow idol
#

ravager has lasers because of his original concept which wasnt a bloody machine and him still having them is an unchanged remnant

dense ferry
#

No problems, I just got really excited about it being accepted and all

normal otter
#

Yes ik it was a joke

#

Its just consideration for these types of people

#

Im not saying to remove it entirely

hollow shell
#

Nah, the problem is that it's a suggestion about an upcoming feature

#

which isn't allowed, because you haven't experienced it in-game yet and it's also still subject to change before the update releases

lost agate
#

Lemme just put some perspective here

#

People: Suggest changes to upcoming stuff
Devs: Already did it way before the suggestion or was planned visibleconfusion.png (Idontgetit)

#

Long story short: A changelog doesnt quite equal to experience

#

well thats said a lot already so idk why im repeating

shell lynx
#

Maybe my arena isn’t set up properly but I absolutely can’t just run in a straight line the whole WoF fight

wide flicker
#

Honestly I have more problems with running too fast for the wall

#

But I think Rev+ fixes that (correct me if I am wrong)

shell lynx
#

I’m currently trying but there isn’t really an easy sweet spot for the wall

lost agate
#

For running strat on wof you basically have to do all of this:

shell lynx
#

If you’re too close he won’t charge but you don’t really get space to dodge

lost agate
#
  1. kinda flatten hell so the eyes dont get in the same altitude as you
  2. make sure theres enough space so the eyes are far enough away from each other
  3. put a platform in the very middle
gusty geode
#

I forget, can Leeches fly?
Or do WoF's minions even matter to the fight

shell lynx
#

Flatten hell

lost agate
#

So uh, yeah i dont see why people shouldnt have the comfort of doing running strat if they do all of this

#

You can just kill leeches and hungries

shell lynx
#

perfectly easy if you have other mods to flatten it for you

safe sail
#

if you squish wof into a really small space can you hit all 3 segments at once

lost agate
#

Byeah

safe sail
#

with piercing

lost agate
#

But again

#

Thats a lot of unnecesary terraforming

#

And i dont see why there should be a countermeasure to it

#

I fucken despise hell worldgen so getting punished for dealing with it is ech

gusty geode
#

Preparation for the fight doesn't count as part of the fight itself imo
Should still be a challenge even with a proper arena

lost agate
#

Bleh

shell lynx
#

Half the fight is against ash blocks

lost agate
#

If taking 10 hours preparing an arena doesnt pay off then why bother

wide flicker
#

It still would pay off because the arena isn’t terrible

#

It just makes the fight not too easy

lost agate
#

Yes, to the point is overdone

#

And you wanna punish people for it like wh

shell lynx
#

I don’t really like when the wall charges into your face and lasers you at a distance where you can’t get away

#

Maybe that’s a me thing though

gusty geode
#

How's it punishing tho
The changes would still be there whether you have a bridge or not

shell lynx
#

His leeches are a homing attack if you think about it

lost agate
#

If you dont do this overkill arena the homing shit is gonna nuke you

gusty geode
#

Fair

wide flicker
#

True, but you are probably getting nuked even if you don’t make the arena, unless you are good

lost agate
#

Idk why im arguing this when a mod said to drop it already ech

shell lynx
#

Oh they did?

lost agate
#

Yes

shell lynx
#

I did not see that, sorry

wide flicker
#

Apologies

lost agate
#

Anyway, if people want that shit in, theres the star, nothing else

gusty geode
#

Would I get warned for saying that shutting down the conversation does nothing but ensure a solution won't be found

lost agate
gusty geode
#

If I could propose another idea tho
What if detached Hungries shot additional lasers
Would make them matter a bit more to the fight
And fix the problem of being able to just run to win, as lasers would be coming from more angles

sand umbra
#

a solution won't be found because there is no problem in the first place

#

and that's the end of that

lost agate
#

Theres smth terry told me

#

"If something can be a disadvantage for you, it should be a disadvantage for the opponent too if you use it well"

#

Or smth like that

sand umbra
#

them sounds like some solid words to live by

lost agate
#

Case in point, if the hell landscape is a disadvantage to you, it should be a disadvantage to wof if you use it well

safe sail
#

dark souls enemies can backstab crit you just as you can backstab crit them

sand umbra
#

the Underworld's landscape at first is an enormous disadvantage to the player and WoF can take full advantage of it

knowledge of how the boss does this and the ability to work around it can thus turn the same mechanic into an advantage by significantly reducing the threat level of the fight, and it all relies on whether you really know your stuff

lost agate
#

(also hi terry how ya doin)

sand umbra
#

there we go, I fixed it

#

totally didn't press enter like two words into that instead of apostrophe pain

lost agate
#

Harhar

gusty geode
#

Fair

sand umbra
#

byeah
the downside to WoF being trivialized by such a strategy is that because of Hell's landscape it takes fucking eons to set up a sufficiently long arena in such a manner

#

it balances out

safe sail
#

the underworldD

sand umbra
#

shut the fuck

safe sail
#

shut it for me

sand umbra
gusty geode
#

Hungries being nothing but brief distractions/meat shields is another issue tho
I think

sand umbra
#

it really isn't

safe sail
#

theyre red sponges in my experience

sand umbra
#

WoF is very much a test of player patience and prep

safe sail
#

giant red sponges

sand umbra
#

the amount of trouble you will encounter while fighting the Great Waffle is directly and inversely proportional to the amount of time you put into preparing the proper arena for it

lost agate
#

My point is, if i take ages preparing for something, and whats more something specific then why on earth should it be patched

safe sail
#

also how in the world does adrenaline reset when you get hit

#

getting bonked by a giant eye is pretty stressful i imagine

lost agate
#

Like, one thing is having enough space for wof, the other is knowing that you need it to be at least semi flat AND needs a platform in the middle

#

Its not something you just do casually unless someone told you

sand umbra
#

in short:

it's one thing to fight a boss.
it's another, and often much more difficult, thing entirely to outsmart it.

lost agate
#

Well, now i go

sand umbra
#

imma bounce too, probably, I think I've made the point clear enough leaCheese

safe sail
#

ine end answersf

#

bruf

gusty geode
#

That makes sense and all
I just don't like the idea of all the challenge in a boss being the preparation
Maybe that's just me

sand umbra
#

you must hate Golem then

safe sail
#

thats why i almost never make arenas

#

until im really desperate

lost agate
#

Well thats what you get if the boss is a wall in a cramped space Kirbypain

#

With buildings that can cockblock your patch cuz why tf not

#

Well now i go for real

gusty geode
#

What qualifies as "up-coming content" for the purposes of suggestions
Thinking of suggesting a few general ideas for enemies to add some flavor to the world and maybe make some materials easier to get

lost agate
#

Eeeeh, imo as long as its not already on changelogs or smth you should be good to go

gusty geode
#

Ight cool

Random Enemy Ideas

These are new enemies designed to fill in bare areas of the game, make some materials easier to get, and overall add flavor

Chlorotortoise
A variant of the Giant Tortoise that has something changed about it (maybe it could shoot a projectile or sometimes reflect projectiles) and drops Chlorophyte Ore. Would make it a little easier to farm.

Corrupt/Crimson Pollution Puffer
A floating ball of Corruption/Crimson biomass that flies around passively, regularly releasing clouds of damaging gas that linger for a while, restricting movement. Drops fair amounts of Vile/Vicious Powder on death.

#

Have a few more ideas
At least for difficult-to-get items that could be given an enemy
But how's that for a start

#

Considered suggesting making Armored Diggers spawn as soon as Hardmode starts again and having them always drop a random Mech summon
But I imagine that wouldn't go over well

hollow shell
#

hrm
They're not specific item suggestions but regardless they give me reason to pause

#

and yeah we already have Permafrost for mech summon purposes

gusty geode
#

Yeah
There aren't really any rules on enemy suggestions afaik probably because no-one makes them
Maybe we could get some?

sand umbra
#

Vile n' Vicious Powder aren't really difficult to get per se

#

both can be bought from the resident fruit salad during a blood moon HDfailure

#

also both can be crafted from their respective 'shrooms

void kelp
#

the fruit salad?

sand umbra
#

yes

#

dryad is now a fruit salad

void kelp
#

ohh

sand umbra

byeah, you can buy powders from Dryad
