radiant meadow
#

I just got [AutoloadEquip(EquipType.Neck)] to work with

dreamy fjord
#

so rn u cant really do it?

radiant meadow
#

I could grab scissors myself CompleteFailure

#

and use the crop tool

gray nebula
#

there really isn't any way to move it,,,

#

sadcat

radiant meadow
#

so cut it

civic pond
#

move it back 3.5head.,.,. .,

copper orchid
#

It looks like you could shrink the scarf size around the neck, but then it would just look like worm scarf.

dreamy fjord
#

so it needs a new sprite

sand umbra
#

@tame moss I feel the need to inform you that you can move all three bars

toxic socket
#

Why is enchanted axe op

frail mantle
#

is it

toxic socket
#

yes

civic pond
#

Its pretty good

#

But i wouldn't call it op

frail mantle
#

vigil is bugged and is getting slaughtered back to normal next update

narrow sorrel
#

oh alright

#

should i delete that then

frail mantle
#

doesn't really matter i think but probably a good idea

indigo fog
#

Everyone is talking about Entropy's Vigil being broken but how is nobody talking about Igneous Exaltation killing worm bosses in like 10 seconds

frail mantle
#

that's cause piercing on worms moment

radiant meadow
#

I nerfed exaltation already

indigo fog
#

ok cool

rapid pivot
#

actually; that seems more like, i'unno, a magic weapon than a summon

#

or am i crazy

frail mantle
#

it's an active summon

rapid pivot
#

Uh... busky, cant you move the bars?

unkempt bolt
#

you can

wooden wedge
#

you can, yes but they want it to be fully customizable

unkempt bolt
#

i don’t disagree with that idea really

#

would be nice

#

though i usually want my rippers as visible as possible

mental violet
#

I would really like a Bottomless Gel Tank and a Infinite Rocket Case.

#

I also wouldn't mind a Endless Star Sack.

civic pond
#

sounds more like a QoL mods thing tho

upbeat scroll
#

I mean Calamity does add more gel, rocket, and star stuff

copper orchid
#

I think the suggestion for endless rockets and flamethrower ammo has already been made at least once before

sand umbra
#

...there have already been two people that have completely ignored my respective pings

#

this is. a predicament

copper orchid
#

Did they bail or have you seen them online and they just ignored your pings?

wooden wedge
#

doesn't matter if they were online or not it just matters that the ding dong ditched

copper orchid
#

Also I found a verified suggestion by Jawer (delivered ✅) that mentions endless gel/rocket so @worthy lintel that’s a repost

sand umbra
#

I have been ping-pong ditched twice already a

#

also hm

#

so there is a sugg recent on it

#

byeah @worthy lintel there was a suggestion on that literally like a few days ago

#

which met the star threshold and was delivered

#

your sugg is therefore redundant and not exactly necessary so soon thereafter
don't eviscerate me for not entirely knowing how bluecheck funnies work please ;u;

copper orchid
#

See if he notices either ping

sand umbra
#

it should be bluechecked probably

#

but like imagine having full-on react perms in suggs

copper orchid
#

Imagine

indigo fog
#

Mollusk is good but I wouldn't say it's overpowered

wooden wedge
#

@drifting socket care to give a more reasonable reason?

#

and isn't it classless?

drifting socket
#

Yea it is

#

That’s another reason why it’s broken af

indigo fog
#

The only way I'd call mollusk broken is if it didn't have a movement speed decrease

drifting socket
#

I straight up cheesed the mechanical bosses just standing still

indigo fog
#

what difficulty

drifting socket
#

Revengeance

wooden wedge
#

you could add that to your reason if you add more evidence and stats

#

and gear

drifting socket
#

And it’s available at the very start of hardmode

wooden wedge
#

yes, titanium is at the very start too, and it gives you a free hit

drifting socket
#

But it’s ass compared to mollusk lmao

wooden wedge
#

my point is that progression doesn't really mean anything

drifting socket
#

Idk I just think it’s a lil too broken for the very beginning of hardmode, maybe after the mech bosses would be better

wooden wedge
#

how is it broken?

#

you could add that to your sugg

drifting socket
#

Yea ima do that

wooden wedge
#

I mean an explanation as to how it's broken

indigo fog
#

There's no way, I couldn't ever just stand still with full mollusk. What other gear and potions are you using?

wooden wedge
#

like how it's negative can be negligible at the point you get it

#

with the right gear ofc

drifting socket
#

It was a mix of mollusk and mana overloader

#

Just stand still, shoot, and get free heals too

wooden wedge
#

maybe do a more controlled test

indigo fog
#

So it wasn't just mollusk armor

wooden wedge
#

because that looks situational

drifting socket
#

I’ll test it without mana overloader

neat crescent
#

doesnt mana overloader decrease life regen

wooden wedge
#

it does

#

-3

#

which isn't that bad

drifting socket
#

Yea But it heals you if you shoot enemies when you have below 10% mana

neat crescent
#

oh

#

yeah do a test without that

#

it might be mana overloader that needs to be looked at 😳

indigo fog
#

While testing it can you record it too?

drifting socket
#

Well it’s bad if you have bad armor but with mollusk armor it’s really silly

wooden wedge
#

give all your gear too

#

@crystal lantern you need a reason

radiant meadow
#

sunskater pet when tbh ngl iirc

rugged belfry
#

Sunskater summoner would be cool

radiant meadow
#

@crystal lantern water leeches can be targetted if the player is underwater

crystal lantern
#

Summons are slow enough, and the leeches do damage enough to kill you before the summons are able to reach the player. Also, your summons are probably targeting other enemies than the leech, so that you have to target it with right-click

#

that's what i mean, if you enter water it's already too late

#

also i'm talking about Acid Rain, dunno how spawn are in normal time

wooden wedge
#

@vocal grotto meme sugg(?)

#

I can't tell

radiant meadow
#

hmmm, what if water leeches had like 90% of dr if the player isn't in water

hollow idol
#

it references memes, but structures itself like a proper sug BirbThonk

radiant meadow
#

but they still can be attacked

wooden wedge
#

well YuH I wouldn't say proper sugg, it's still pretty smelly as a sugg

narrow sorrel
#

are there any calamity summoner accessories that have additional sentry slots? i was about to suggest to maybe add some but idk if those exist

wooden wedge
#

I don't think so? but aren't sentries already strong enough that they don't need more slots?

narrow sorrel
#

well id only think of adding maybe 2+ slots by the time you get to scal

#

maybe +1 at ML tier and +1 at yharon tier

indigo fog
#

why do we need more slots though

#

i thought the sentries are good enough

rugged belfry
#

With that argument, why have additional minion slots?

narrow sorrel
#

vanilla has a few sentry adding accessories

#

ill just make the suggestion lol

toxic kettle
#

The sound sugg is a bruh

#

I mean imo it would be funny to hear "bruh" every time you get hit but I doubt many people share that view

narrow sorrel
#

if it somehow gets approved, at least make it toggleable

toxic kettle
#

Also "It would be a funny meme so people don't go depressed" bruh

radiant meadow
#

the good news is that I have a bruh sound effect

#

the bad news is that I think it's a stupid idea

rugged belfry
#

@narrow sorrel

make a toggle-able feature that makes you make the OOF or BRUH noise every-time you get hit

radiant meadow
#

something dumb like that would be better off as a standalone mod

rugged belfry
#

Same

narrow sorrel
#

ah you are rightt

#

did not notice that, my bad

rugged belfry
#

gg

foggy plover
#

isnt hallowed rune the one making 5000 stars and being super broken this update?

hollow idol
pearl pumice
#

wh-

hollow idol
#

post mechs item epic

narrow sorrel
#

that accessory destroys my computer

swift bison
#

Additionally, those look less like hallowed stars and more like astral stars

digital saddle
#

Balance ascended

#

Just as Ben intended

pearl pumice
#

those are pink

#

they don't look like either

#

astral stars should've been like blue and orange or smth

#

hallowed stars should've been blue or yellow

hollow idol
radiant meadow
#

they are astral star sprite

#

I can switch it to a hallowed star sprite ig

#

blame Dom for being lazy CompleteFailure

#

also, I already added a cooldown for hallowed rune

#

@runic kite one, it's not star tainted generator, it's hallowed rune
two, I already added a cooldown

runic kite
#

welp there's me cutting to assumptions

unkempt bolt
#

more sentry accessories you say?

#

expanding my spikechad army?

#

yes please

#

however adding sentry slots is risky because

#

that's why spikecrag is a bit busted

#

by stacking sentry boosts you can get 85k dps without rippers

#

its hard to balance sentries around not using sentry boosts and using sentry boosts simultaneously

narrow sorrel
#

just nerf spikebois

#

or make em take 2 slots each

foggy plover
#

spikechad is very op yes

digital saddle
#

i never use sentries

#

well, never more than 1

#

it just feels awkward

narrow sorrel
#

well if they add sentry slots ya might use em more lol

hybrid fjord
#

4 cryogenic summons absolutely clean house

#

It’s fun

radiant meadow
#

I actually tried that

ancient crow
#

i fully agree with the nurse sugg

radiant meadow
#

but there were some issues

mighty knot
#

yeah

radiant meadow
#

and I gave up

#

:)

ancient crow
#

even if the nurse thing doesnt get in, there should be SOME way to get your health back to normal

strong jacinth
#

^

mighty knot
#

@neat citrus might want to mention hardcore/iron heart mode

ancient crow
#

also that lul

mighty knot
#

since losing max health there makes it permanently gone

radiant meadow
#

you can save and exit

mighty knot
#

wait wat

radiant meadow
#

although that's a bit unorthodox

#

save and exit resets your max hp

ancient crow
#

i think a while ago i suggested that it automatically resets the lowered health/revive cooldown at 4:30 if no bosses are alive

#

because, ya know, plant armor likes morning sunlight

radiant meadow
#

make it check for 4:29 to prevent cosmolight spam

narrow sorrel
#

why not just make it a bit after 4:30 instead of having to wait all night

ancient crow
#

that's still cheesable with cosmolight

#

heres an idea tho: it triggers at exactly noon

#

because more sunlight = happier plant armor

#

also less cheesable

radiant meadow
#

I can do noon

tame moss
#

@tame moss I feel the need to inform you that you can move all three bars
@sand umbra Yes, but as-is it is still less ideal for a centered ui, which is why I'm suggesting improved flexibility for those ui components

hybrid fjord
#

How come none of the suggestions are being reviewed by mods

#

Is it cause Rover’s gone at the moment

radiant meadow
#

Rover is the primary manager of suggestions

#

so yes

#

Rover is busy

#

I would do it myself but I stepped down

narrow sorrel
#

why not just make wof despawn and respawn when a voodoo doll is thrown in lava

unkempt bolt
#

yes please make wof despawn

#

though i should mention you can leave and rejoin world to despawn him

fathom iris
#

yeah but you shouldnt have to do that

#

he should just act like every other boss

narrow sorrel
#

hes not supposed to be like every other boss though

indigo fog
#

@storm rover You need to add a reason.

hollow idol
#

it already got nerfed

storm rover
#

yeah sorry im gonna edit it

#

thought enter was to make a new line

radiant meadow
#

already nerfed ye

copper orchid
#

Bruh

#

That’s already been suggested and it’s already being implemented

#

Sorry if that came off snarky it’s just that I already suggested this

storm rover
#

Wait thats post-nerf Fuel Container?

#

That's still insane

copper orchid
#

No it’s being implemented in the next update

storm rover
#

Ah ok then

gusty geode
#

Anyone else notice that nothing's been getting its ❕ removed lately
Is something wrong on the dev end?

radiant meadow
#

devs can't remove them

#

must be done by a moderator and most moderators don't touch suggestions

#

or Rover who is on break with school work

civic pond
#

I think rover usually handled them

#

eah

radiant meadow
#

@vocal grotto if you're not busy, do you mind going through suggestions to clear out some of the ❕ on reasonable suggestions?
this is the second time someone has asked

subtle oracle
#

Rover seems to be absent...

#

Oh doing school work

copper orchid
#

With a claw weapon like mycelial claws, wouldn’t it be worse if it had more knock back?

civic pond
#

I think it would

#

With such short range, it would only hinder your dps

copper orchid
#

So maybe if it had the same knock back as the mandible claws but the same extended range that would make it a bit better

unkempt bolt
#

most bosses are pretty much immune to knockback

copper orchid
#

Well, it’s mostly for normal enemies

unkempt bolt
#

mycelial claws are for true melee

#

there isn't really a reason to use them if you aren't going true melee

copper orchid
#

I’m saying that knockback wouldn’t help in a boss fight but it would increase dps against enemies susceptible to knockback that would be pushed out of the claws’ range

wooden wedge
#

@storm rover shift + enter makes a new line

storm rover
#

Ah ok thank you

pearl pumice
#

oh come on quanta

#

way to steal my thunder

#

i had an image and everything

unkempt bolt
#

sorrryyyy

#

i had to

#

and yeah creeper you're right, but mycelial claws are rarely used outside of boss fights

#

because in my experience, they're mostly used for melting a boss using adren

#

even in true melee, you're better off using a flail against normal enemies just because of the extra range

sleek wadi
#

Yeah Mycelial Claws didn't do much for my run either, made going after Crabulon a bit of a waste even if it was really fun to fight true melee.

copper orchid
#

Fair enough. Just suggesting an aspect to balance. Obviously damage or attack speed could better distinguish them than a knockback change, but it’s an idea.

sleek wadi
#

They do destroy basically every enemy in pre-HM that isn't an abyss mob, but claws in pre-HM are used either for adrenaline strats or trailing and Mycelial performs about the same as Mandible

#

Perhaps some innate armor pen would do

unkempt bolt
#

due to the nature of claws, buffing it's damage to about 18-20 would be appropriate i believe

#

(currently 14)

#

i dont think you can reasonably make them attack faster

#

because mantis claws, mandible claws and mycelial claws all have a usetime of 5

pearl pumice
#

1 use time is where you hold it in the air

#

right?

unkempt bolt
#

believe so?

wooden wedge
#

1 use time is 1 frame

#

so if yoiu have a weapon with 1 use time it's be 1/60th of a second

#

and with 60 use time 1 second

sand umbra
#

(a weapon with a useAnimation (and/or useTime? need to check again) of 1 explodes btw)

#

the real thing of it is that making Claws attack any faster would be an enormous buff by their very nature

unkempt bolt
#

which i imagine is why even mantis claws stay at usetime 5

#

anyways i wasn't trying to pose the sugg as a "buff true melee" sugg, just that it's strange that myc claws and mandible are essentially interchangeable

zealous ridge
#

Mycelial becoming unique in its own way would be preferable, I think

#

Spore explosions every 30 hits or something like that

#

Mandible claws can stay basic

pearl pumice
#

30 hits is too much

#

you can't use that on a regular enemy

zealous ridge
#

Okay

#

So tweak the numbers?

#

It’s like, not set in stone, at all

sacred imp
#

With this gear: tarragon armor melee set, celestial shell, community, HotE, yo-yo bag, seraph tracers, Elysian Aegis, Yharim’s Insignia, bloody worm scarf (I have wing slot installed) all menacing.

#

This was in revengance mode

distant gyro
#

what's the point of this

queen delta
#

you coulda just typed these out instead of posting pics

distant gyro
#

^ yea btw

sacred imp
#

Yeah true whoops

zealous ridge
#

Maybe it’s that lacerator is worse than verdant I guess???

distant gyro
#

or at least you could've just cropped them CompleteFailure

#

anyways

sand umbra
#

I can totally buy Verdant being better than Lacerator

#

you know why

distant gyro
#

Solar Flare has crowd control and Lacerator has lifesteal

zealous ridge
distant gyro
#

Both yoyos also have more range

sand umbra
#

because some clown made it a random chance to fire leaves instead of a consistent cooldown without remembering the shitfest that is balancing that sort of randomness in weapon behavior

sacred imp
#

before: verdant was broken, and even post-nerf it is better than the other two post-providence yo-yos against polterghast

distant gyro
#

lacerator does more dps on old duke if anyone uses yoyos on him for some reason

#

and solar flare's specific edge over the two yoyos is storm weaver and dog

sacred imp
#

Only reason I beat weaver was because verdant and tanking a bunch of hits

sand umbra
#

I would agree on SF having a specific edge against DoG

#

except DoG is offscreen all the time

distant gyro
#

well

#

if you're insistent on a change then do the following

#
  • record kill time for all bosses for its tier (sentinels, polter, old duke which is kinda optional)
#
  • tell specifically what you want to be changed
zealous ridge
#

Igneous exhalations vs AS moment

#

Literally best weapon

#

Has anyone suggested a nerf to it yet?

#

I feel like I saw that

distant gyro
#

yea

#

ultimately the nerf is to limit piercing

#

that's literally all

#

rn it pierces infinitely

zealous ridge
#

Which fucking turns the AS into mincemeat

#

And destroyer too perhaps?

#

Idk

sacred imp
#

I will get to work on those series of tests

distant gyro
#

also avoid wing slot for tests Byeah1

sacred imp
#

k

gray nebula
#

why was the ❕ removed from a meme suggestion

#

the death mode sound effect one

ashen warren
#

What does that even mean?

queen delta
#

It means the suggestion follows rules which is lole

#

Not sure why its still there

hollow idol
#

I mean it technically follows the rules

#

but at the same time it doesn't thonk

#

also for that latest one, thats completely on you. It takes ages to set up

queen delta
#

Its a meme suggestion, it doesn’t follow rules

#

Ill delete it but considering it survived that long, I won’t warn the guy who posted it

gray nebula
#

reason : would be neat

#

sadly you're gonna need more than that

hollow idol
#

yall trying to run the Bandit out of business for non rogue players

sand umbra
#

"best modifier" can also vary depending on scenario

tired haven
#

Ruthless is far from best in several cases but can be still demanded, just for example

neat citrus
#

@sacred notch
Download joost and get universal collapse

frail mantle
#

universal collapse isn't from Joost iirc

#

it's from Fargo's Souls, i believe

neat citrus

#

Would it be a good idea to slow down d mode deus main worm?

mental violet
#

I mostly just want to have more fish tanks TBH.

gray nebula
#

sulphur sea critters,,

#

blood worm
baby flak crab,,

mental violet
#

Yeah. Like baby toads, crabs, or radiators.

#

Honestly I wish I could catch Pinky and put them in a glass cage.

gray nebula
#

like baby flak crabs or blood worms

#

that already exist

mental violet
#

I just want to catch more pets.

#

For tanks.

#

I'm making a zoo.

gray nebula
#

what i was sayiing is that theres already sulph sea critters

mental violet
#

Oh.

#

Well I am pretty sure Calamity doesn't add any to terrariums right?

#

Also no abyss critters.

#

What about a Baby Cuttlefish?

#

Or a Micro-Squid.

gray nebula
#

no because that's just annoying to sheet

mental violet
#

Aww.

#

Well we could at least get cages for the one's calamity adds.

#

Like the Ghost Bell.

#

I know you can't put that one up on display.

gray nebula
#

yes but that's annoying to sheet yes

mental violet
#

Ah well. I suppose the dev attention is best spent elsewhere for now.

gray nebula
#

the suggestions have been really good lately

tepid root
#

lots of reasoning HahaYes

pearl pumice
#

aren't terrariums just a critter's sprite sheet downscaled

#

it's just a downscaled version of the critter

#

moving back and fourth

gray nebula
#

i was mostly talking about a suggestiont hat got deleted p much instantly asking for a rogue pillar for the lunar events

pearl pumice
#

lmao

frail mantle
#

well you can't just take the critter, scale it down a couple pixels and slap it into a terrarium

pearl pumice
#

actually

#

that's exactly what you can do

frail mantle
#

iirc terrarium critters have more frames than normal critters

hollow idol
#

They do, but most of the animation tends to just have them standing and doing nothing

pearl pumice
#

^

crude geode
#

They have to walk around and have an environment as well

#

In said terrarium

frail mantle
#

^

pearl pumice
#

you can just recolor the desert terrarium

gray nebula
#

yeah calamity mod where you can find recolors

hollow idol
#

we already have walking animations thonk

#

Drew's wings

pearl pumice
#

it's a terrarium

#

nobody will notice

frail mantle
#

they're just swords

pearl pumice
#

the sulphurous sea is made of sand

crude geode
#

Why put so much effort in then for something “nobody will notice”

frail mantle
#

nobody will notice if you just recolor the terra blade

crude geode
#

^

pearl pumice
#

horrible example

#

you carry around a sword at all tim

#

times*

#

if you have it

swift wadi
#

If you put a terrarium in your base, you'll see it a lot too

frail mantle
#

and if you place a terrarium in your base, which i assume you'd do, you'd look at it all the time you're at home

hollow idol
#

they mean the recolor not being noticed

pearl pumice
#

it' the ground of the terrarium

#

you aren't really looking at that

#

it's the critter than you're focused on

frail mantle
#

and even if "nobody will notice", just recoloring some shit and slapping it into the mod ain't what Calamity does

crude geode
#

^^^

hollow idol
#

drew's wings

pearl pumice
#

ah

#

ahaha

#

AHAHA

frail mantle
#

drew's wings are old and we all know it

tepid root
#

what are drew's wings a recolor of again

pearl pumice
#

it's a recolor regardless

hollow idol
#

solar wings

frail mantle
#

solar

pearl pumice
#

and can't be ignoed

tepid root
#

wack

hollow idol
#

mfw drew's wings are a recolor yet arent in sprites needed

pearl pumice
#

^^^

frail mantle
#

we are fully aware that drew's wings exist, yes

crude geode
#

Keep in mind the fact that Calamity devs have infinitely more things to focus on than terrariums

#

Such as

#

Respriting old armors

#

Respriting old accessories

frail mantle
#

or

pearl pumice
#

i don't see why

gray nebula
#

drew wings are like 3 years old

pearl pumice
#

everything looks fine right now

#

actually

gray nebula
frail mantle
#

actually adding content that does more than just look cool

pearl pumice
#

what needs respirted

gray nebula
#

a lot of stuff actually

pearl pumice
#

nothing really needs resprited right now except for scal i guess

gray nebula
#

yharon, polter, etc

pearl pumice
#

oh

#

yharon

gray nebula
pearl pumice
#

plushie boi

crude geode
#

Like

pearl pumice
#

polter is completely fine

#

resprite doesn't look needed

swift wadi
#

@strong minnow That's known about and being fixed

crude geode
#

If you want calamity terrariums so badly, sprite them yourself

frail mantle
#

a surprising amount of current in-game sprites aren't up to current Calamity's standard

hollow idol
#

bumblebirb resprite

tepid root
#

🐦

pearl pumice
#

that's cheating

#

he was already resprited

hollow idol
#

hes already being resprited iirc

gray nebula
#

polter isnt completely fine

frail mantle
#

and that's why the dev team and a bunch of people in the art server are working on the resprites

#

how old is current polter again

gray nebula
#

very

pearl pumice
#

just because it's old doesn't mean it's bad

hollow idol
#

Polter was added in 2017 Q4

pearl pumice
#

there is nothing wrong with polter's sprite

#

what is the issue

swift wadi
#

Why are we arguing putting in work to make the mod look better bruh

gray nebula
#

too bad

#

polter is bad

#

its getting redone

pearl pumice
#

h

hollow idol
#

also slime god sprites have been in since 2016

#

and they hold up decently

gray nebula
#

and we arent recoloring vanilla

frail mantle
#

polter looks out of place compared to shit like new Birb or Giant Clams

crude geode
#

^

pearl pumice
#

what

frail mantle
#

and kind you, "new" birb is pretty old iirc

swift wadi
#

Yeah all the bosses around him look pretty up to date and nice and he's just there

pearl pumice
#

how i new birb old

crude geode
#

Very simplistic color and design for a post ml boss

pearl pumice
#

he was just released

frail mantle
#

the resprite itself was made a while ago iirc

pearl pumice
#

less is more

#

polter doesn't need to be dramatic

frail mantle
hollow idol
#

polter is made of the cries of a few thousand screaming souls seeking revenge

crude geode
#

^^^^^

swift wadi
#

and rn he's blue mandibles with armor

frail mantle
#

polter is supposed to look like a bunch of souls wrapped in a dungeon scrap burrito but actually looks like blue plantera

pearl pumice
#

that's not the fault of the sprite

#

that's the fault of the dang

#

fight design

hollow idol
#

but uhhh, back to the suggestion yeah no recolor for the terrarium

frail mantle
#

partially, it is

pearl pumice
#

maybe rework it?

#

entirely

#

well

#

not entirely

crude geode
#

Yeah sure calamity devs will rework an entire fight that isn’t bumblebitch sure

pearl pumice
#

oh come on

frail mantle
#

changing the fight wouldn't change the fact that current Polter looks like a blue plantera with armor

pearl pumice
#

polterghast was a way worse fight than old bb

frail mantle
#

no he wasn't

crude geode
#

That’s a matter of opinion veras

pearl pumice
#

plantera is a bulb that then explodes into a viny mouth

#

she looks nothing like pg

frail mantle
#

old birb was just "lole mothron except he shoots lightening"

pearl pumice
#

polterghast is plantera with a clone thingy

frail mantle
#

Polter's fight has elements that separate it from Plant's fight, but the sprite looks like an ectoplasm armed Plantera

pearl pumice
#

birb had elements that seperated it from a mothron

frail mantle
#

anyway why are we even discussing this when it's clear that this discussion is moving slower than a Ravager that's been flex taped to the floor

crude geode
#

Bc arguments exist

#

But yes

frail mantle
#

tl;dr terrariums require sprites and devs have better things to work on that aren't recoloring vanilla sprites

#

that's why they don't exist yet

crude geode
#

If you want to make a suggestion for resprites/terrariums, you have the ability to. Just don’t expect it to pass without sprites being made by you.

strong minnow
#

oh

hollow idol
#

I mean it would be validated and sent in and possibly approved of if it got enough but getting in without external help is low odds

teal ibex
#

resprites actually aren't allowed unless for objective/consistency purposes btw

pearl pumice
#

didn't know hectique was in this serve

crude geode
#

Ty Hectique

hollow idol
#

I mean we werent discussing making resprite suggestions, just the sprites in general

gray nebula
#

famous youtuber heyyou pogu

teal ibex
frail mantle
#

nobody suggested a resprite, us discussing terrariums just naturally diverged onto discussing resprites

#

as suggestions discussion does

teal ibex
#

i'm aware, somebody said they're allowed which is not true in most cases

gray nebula
#

but yeah terrariums are hhh to make because you need to animate the critters inside and do the terrarium too

teal ibex
#

i'm not saying any suggestion is valid/invalid

gray nebula
#

and nobody wants to do that eaeeeaeae

pearl pumice
#

even still, the critter doesn't need to be sprited you can just downscale it

gray nebula
#

we cant

pearl pumice
#

the terrarium itself

#

is where it gets very iffy

#

and icky

#

and sticky

gray nebula
#

no

#

we can't downscale a critter

#

it would look bad

hollow idol
#

the terrarium is literally a glass box with (insert material) in it

gray nebula
#

you need to sprite it again but smaller

#

and then you gotta animate the critter

#

can't have them just stand around doing nothing

hollow idol
#

what would piggy even do besides walk

gray nebula
#

idk, cute stuff

crude geode
#

Eat money

hollow idol
#

Ghost bells would just float up and down, minnows would kinda just swim around ig, and hermit crab is the one that gets messy

gray nebula
#

ghost bells would float up and down and on the sides

pearl pumice
#

ghost bells

#

don't move horizontally

#

so that is a lie

#

a scam

#

a con

hollow idol
#

honestly though, making an animal walk cycle back and forth in a box doesn't sound as hard as animating something like hive mind with all the pulsing and moving claws and stuff

gray nebula
#

but it's a boss

#

its cool

#

no one wants to animate a tiny critter peeposadcat

pearl pumice
#

it's a critter

#

it's cute

#

nobody wants to animate a grotesque horror

crude geode
#

Says you

hollow idol
#

Id want to animate a grotesque horror

gray nebula
#

ur not the animator u cant talk about animating heyyou cri

pearl pumice
#

i do animate

#

just not sprites

gray nebula
#

well i animated the grotesque hooroor

pearl pumice
#

i was honestly just trying to spit your worlds back into your face

#

go figure i guess

hollow idol
#

excellent job

crude geode
#

I mean like

#

Spitting words back into the face of a dev isn’t a great idea

pearl pumice
#

he's not a scripter

hollow idol
#

scripter BirbThonk

#

actually wait a minute, squirrel squire is a tiny critter

pearl pumice
#

🤔

#

dimensional interloper

mental violet
#

Fellas fellas I have the perfect solution. Add terrariums with baby versions of the bosses in them craftable from the materials they drop. We get more critter cages and Summoner get's to animate more grotesque horrors.

crude geode
#

No

#

Bad

#

Cease

#

The problem with terrariums is the fact that so many parts of it need to be uniquely crafted and take time away from other activities the devs are doing

hollow idol
#

A box and an animal walking

bitter drift
#

יוי
huh, i didn't know

crude geode
#

I mean like, it’s valid to want them but it’s a low priority

bitter drift
#

funny thing i was gonna suggest a giant "low priority suggestion"

#

it was gonna have anything from more critters to more dye options to more ways to make food

#

i will hold on to it

mental violet
#

I'd LOVE more immersive cooking, but that's more like icing on the cake of the mod as opposed to a core feature.

bitter drift
#

^^

mental violet
#

Fun to talk about though.

frail mantle
#

yea things like that are more what'd be added when the mod is way closer to being finished

crude geode
#

Which is

frail mantle
#

that and Terrariums as well, i guess

mental violet
#

Like craftable barbeques or spit roasts.

bitter drift
#

or a kelp salad

crude geode
#

Gonna happen by 3020

bitter drift
#

xD

crude geode
#

But off topic

hollow idol
bitter drift
#

wait this baguette is in the game?

hollow idol
#

YuH

crude geode
#

Yes

bitter drift
#

ok

lofty blade
#

@stark meteor could you please edit a reason for the addition into your suggestion

swift wadi
#

He posted this before, was it deleted by him or a mod?

lofty blade
#

not sure

frail mantle
#

isn't rogue pillar a don't

#

or am i just dumb

hollow idol
#

can we make rogue pillar a dont or a freq sug tbh

lofty blade
#

it doesn't seem to be there

hollow idol
#

also why solar of all pillars

#

we already have nebula integration for it

dry grotto
#

we have already discussed what to do for rogue tho when it comes down to lunar event

#

the general agreement was to make meld bars obtainable in another fashion

bitter drift
#

@hollow idol solar (melee) + vortex (ranger) = rogue

#

that's my logic at least

tawny gyro
#

but for adding another pillar, there's no way in hell you can even add it without covering the center of the world

#

unless they're not symmetrical

#

which would be dumb tbh

ripe wing
#

Another pillar isn't needed

#

We already have meld blobs that are dropped by the Nebula Pillar's spawns

dry grotto
#

echit doesn't make any sense tho night

#

that's the issue

#

why would a mage pillar have enemies that drop rogue material

ripe wing
#

Well, it's the residue

dry grotto
#

if u ask me, there just needs to be a new enemy that u can fight post-cultist

#

or like

#

a new enemy that spawns in the martian invasion

ripe wing
#

Of said enemies, what the Terrarian does is use these meld blobs and fuse them with hallowed bars and ectoplasm

#

But what kind of enemy would it be?

tired haven
#

do i see a reference for the sake of reference in the last suggestion?

ripe wing
#

yes

dry grotto
#

yes

ripe wing
#

Alright, let's say that a fifth pillar is needed

gray nebula
#

rouge weaponmm

#

French red weapon

ripe wing
#

New enemies would be needed, same for a sprite and uh.. a new effect?

tired haven
#

5th pillar won't be a thing simply because there is nowhere to put it

ripe wing
#

Exactly

tired haven
#

(let alone all the work needed to be done to make it true)

ripe wing
#

Also how would it work with the Celestial Events' messages and Moon Lord classic spawn after the 4th pillar?

#

I assume that lots of recoding would have to be done

#

Although it's probably some strings and that's it for the messages

dry grotto
#

We need more enemies in the space biome ech

tired haven
#

I wonder if I should just clean up a few suggestions instead of hesitating

dry grotto
#

I mean, the main guy doing all the cleanup isn't here so

ripe wing
#

Clean up, and if you hesitate then discuss about X suggestion with a colleague

tired haven
#

@stark meteor this suggestion won't pass because high effort and there is nowhere to fit 5th pillar. If you manage to get a proper reasoning and concept of where to locate a pillar, you may try again
@merry wraith read Suggestions Don't document, reference is not a valid reasoning to suggest content

merry wraith
#

Ok

dry grotto
#

sad nobody seems to like my suggestion to make true melee have an accessory that makes true melee do true damage

#

:/

gray nebula
#

add "complaining about not having a lot of stars" in the don'ts doc widepeepohappy

#

and this suggestion would never have gotten accepted because balancing hell

tired haven
#

I mean, it's not a suggestion practice so it won't be in doc failure

gray nebula
#

sad

frail mantle
#

add "complaining about not having a lot of stars" to the rules tbh

bitter drift
#

agreed

frail mantle
#

Alpha Ray exists

#

or whatever it's called

hollow idol
#

I think they mean another upgrade in the line

#

and not a direct upgrade

tepid root
#

but they said post dog or yharon

hollow idol
#

When do you get a ray again

frail mantle
#

post Darksun iirc

tepid root
#

^

hollow idol
#

post darksun =|= post yharon iirc but the gap would be small so yeah Alpha Ray

tepid root
#

post darksun is post dog HDfailure

bitter drift
#

post Yharon is darksun level
post P2 Yharon is auric tesla gear

warped tide
#

Suggestion on Genesis is just poorly thought out, frankly.

#

A natural consequence of a nerf is something feeling less fun, if things are compensation buffed back up every time they're nerfed you get nowhere

tepid root
#

@wheat mist genesis already has an upgrade, its called [[Alpha Ray]]

red stormBOT
radiant meadow
#

if you want to waste your time collecting god knows how much etherian mana and then spend a good amount of t ime placing a shit load of lightning auras for every single boss fight, then have at it. I don't see a point in "fixing" this @ashen warren

lost agate
#

This is the kind of things where you should ask yourself "would anyone do all of this?" And "should all of that effort actually be rewarded?"

vapid moat
#

bring back the 900% boss hp boost config

lost agate
#

Theres also the fact this is not smth a person just finds out casually, you need to know about that ooa exploit, you need to know how to save etherial mana, etc.

ripe wing
#

It's still here

#

Wait, they asked to fix a bug caused by exploiting a second bug in the OoA's event?

lost agate
#

You take a lot of time preparing smth that doesnt even kill the boss it just limits it, and well... It also limits you so.

ripe wing
#

Oh well, they have many choices and if they specifically choose the route of abusing bugs to do.. a small amount of extra damage? Then all I can say is "whatever, you chose this".

gray nebula
#

just use buffed yo-yo bag is you want to cheese bossfights

#

projectiles heal you now

hollow idol
#

Teleporters used to be disabled for endgame fights but Fab reenabled them because “its not my fault if you use them, go ahead” so I doubt something this complex would get a nerf

vapid moat
#

i was doing MasoDeath 900 run and luckily that i complete it right before the update but after updating the game, i can't fight boomer duke in his 900% hp boost form

marble mirage
#

that just sounds like a nightmare man

copper orchid
#

Boomer Duke gets an EX form in masochist? That’s too much.

vapid moat
#

oh nevermind

#

it's still on

marble mirage
#

i doubt boomer duke gets an ex form

vapid moat
#

i was dumb

marble mirage
#

good job

vapid moat
#

the EoC still have 10 time the hp

marble mirage
#

oops

vapid moat
#

and same with the Scal

#

i was dumb sorry

marble mirage
#

is okay

#

anyways, i was thinking of yet another suggestion because why not, making suggestions is sorta fun
lemme write it up

wheat mist
#

@tepid root my b didnt know it already had one, i’ll delete my suggestion

tepid root
#

👍

marble mirage
#

Make Reaper Teeth drop in bigger quantity
Reason: As things are right now, getting enough Reaper Teeth to craft what you want, like the Omega Blue armor, is very tedious, because of the fact that Reaper Sharks only drop 3 or 4 teeth at a time. Combine that with the fact that you have to watch out for the other Abyss minibosses and hope that the Reaper Shark spawns, while also having to look out for your underwater breating is pretty annoying. Increasing the amount dropped to about 5-7 per kill may make the grind somewhat easier on the player.

radiant meadow
#

ye, sounds good tbh

#

since the original amount was probably based on when only rtn existed

frail mantle
#

i've never had too much of a problem with Reaper Tooth farming cause i find them to spawn relatively frequently at the bottom of the Abyss but maybe that's just me

marble mirage
#

alright, let me just copy it over

#

yeah, but then again, you would have to even get to the bottom of the abyss in the first place, and both juvenile and adult eidolon wyrms also spawn frequently enough to fuck you over
that and haha breath problems

frail mantle
#

that's true

#

it might just be me being lucky with Reaper Shark spawns

marble mirage
#

maybe if eidolon wryms dropped teeth as well, it wouldn't be a problem, but it also makes absolutely no sense on why they would drop them

frail mantle
#

yea

vapid moat
#

more like make reaper shark spawn more

#

cause if it's not, then you will never really get the rare vanity item

ripe wing
#

They all have the same chance

vapid moat
#

and it's a pain to get

ripe wing
#

Rare vanity item? What

vapid moat
#

The Reaper

#

it drop from reaper shark

ripe wing
#

You mean the Rogue item

vapid moat
#

yes

ripe wing
#

You said vanity item, you got me confused for a second

vapid moat
#

oh, that is my bad

toxic kettle
#

Reaper Teeth also drop from Abyssal Crates btw

#

so just go fishing

vapid moat
#

well, anyway, most likely you will not use it in the entire gameplay cause farming for reaper shark for that 1 item which it's just a bit better is totally a no no for most people

marble mirage
#

yea, usually valediction is enough

#

also that implies that anyone wants to go fishing in this game

toxic kettle
#

Well, there's no need for the devs to adjust the drop amount because "it's too tedious to get" when in reality you just need to go fishing for like 5 minutes

marble mirage
#

that and what's cooler

  • killing a massive fuckin shark and rip its teeth out of its god damn maw
    or
  • just go fishing lol
vapid moat
#

well, not for the The Reaper

#

cause that took way longer and it's also not really worth it

#

the other rare item is in someway can be very helpful when you have it in the pre hardmode but this one is not

toxic kettle
#

If you'd usually go hunting for Reaper Sharks to get Reaper Teeth it's not too much to ask to go fishing

vapid moat
#

but what if i'm farming it for The Reaper ?

marble mirage
#

or getting the valediction

vapid moat
#

yea, you either boost the spawn rate or just boost the drop rate

toxic kettle
#

well The Reaper wasn't in question here

vapid moat
#

it's rare ik

toxic kettle
#

at that point you have access to everything that can boost spawn rates

vapid moat
#

it's so rare that even with zerg potion it took me literally 3 hours to get it

#

because the reaper shark spawn rate is so low

toxic kettle
#

imo Reaper Sharks spawn way too often

vapid moat
#

and i got killed by the Adult Eidolon Wyrm few time when farming

toxic kettle
#

when I went hunting for Eidolon Wyrms, I was interrupted by Reaper Sharks so often

vapid moat
#

and i have 4 stack of chaotic ore

toxic kettle
#

and I didn't even use any spawn rate boosters

vapid moat
#

9999x4 chaotic ore back then

#

it's scoria ore now but still

marble mirage
#

cring ore

gray nebula
#

the suggestions keep getting better

cyan glen
#

iirc, the Xeroc armor is for rogue right?

gray nebula
#

yes

#

rogue equivalent to the lunar armors except not really

cyan glen
#

Then, Why not change the buffs to only rogue and maybe upgrade them?

marble mirage
#

the wacky-ass armor

#

wasn't it already changed to be that?

cyan glen
#

idk, in the wiki appear that

gray nebula
#

it's already rogue only

#

the rest of the Xeroc set isn't rogue only tho

cyan glen
#

hmm, but then there is a ''bug'' in the wiki?

marble mirage
#

i expected the rogue expansion to have changed that

cyan glen
ashen warren
#

that's not a bug in the wiki, that's how it is in game currently

gray nebula
#

we aren't going to remove the other weapons from the Xeroc set doe

ashen warren
#

xeroc rage/wrath is only given by the armour set, i believe that's the point they're making

cyan glen
#

yes

#

I just think is a bit weird

fossil owl
#

It should give rogue damage/rogue crit

dry grotto
#

^

cyan glen
#

same

fossil owl
#

Instead of all damage/all crit

dry grotto
#

yeh, it doesn't make sense to me that a rogue set boosts all damage/crit

cyan glen
#

And maybe upgrade it bc is for only one class

dry grotto
#

15% dmg and 10% crit would work

cyan glen
#

(Even if I don't use it)

ashen warren
#

it'll now give rogue crit and damage only in the next update

dry grotto
#

cheers

cyan glen
tired haven
#

imagine if nebula gave only magic damage haha

cyan glen
#

Mage is supp that's why gives buff

gray nebula
#

dyeable summonsm

#

wait for 1.4

covert siren
#

No

#

Im talking about the waifus

#

They take up an accessory slot therfor they should be able to be dyed

cyan glen
#

I think they can? or that was in older versions?

#

At least Siren

covert siren
#

They cant

cyan glen
#

Hmm, iirc Siren could

covert siren
#

I mean like the rare elemental ina bottle and rose stone

gray nebula
#

they're still summons

#

you can't dye mutated truffle or the mini guardians right?

#

or the sons of yharon from the soul artifact

cyan glen
#

^ too, I think you need to wait for 1.4 like Iban said

radiant meadow
#

Siren takes the pet dye iirc

#

Not sure

covert siren
#

I dont think you should be able to dye summon weapons but you should be able to dye them because they take up a slot

copper orchid
#

@neat lodge They are already doing 20 minute timer for next update to fix global rain

radiant meadow
#

We are?

covert siren
#

Obsidian key?

cyan glen
radiant meadow
#

Obsidian key means shadow key

copper orchid
#

I was told so by Ozzatron

cyan glen
#

And Siren takes the pet dye, yeah

radiant meadow
#

Hmm

gray nebula
#

what

covert siren
#

Also please tell me I didnt just read u're

gray nebula
#

breaking progression like that bruh

#

please don't

copper orchid
#

Because global rain is such a problem and people keep reporting it

#

I don’t think that’s what non-linearity is for calamity

gray nebula
#

abyss weapon are very late prehm

copper orchid
#

For bosses, not items

radiant meadow
#

I'll look into siren code btw and see if that brings up any reason into why it gets dyed

covert siren
#

Ben

gray nebula
#

you can easily get them with amidias' blessing and the desert crest

covert siren
#

Its because siren is in the special pet slot

#

And yeah getting abyss weapons pre skeletron is dumb

digital saddle
#

I think abyss items pre skeletron would be too much

gray nebula
#

surviving in the abyss really isn't that hard and doesn't justify at all access to strong weapons like that

radiant meadow
#

What special pet slot?

#

I'm talking about the lure minion

#

The water elemental

covert siren
#

Oh not the light pet

copper orchid
#

The siren from the pearl?

cyan glen
#

I think the pet slot that she takes is the vanity one

covert siren
cyan glen
#

That one no

#

Ben say the big water siren clone

radiant meadow
#

Talking about pearl of enthrallment

#

I thought pet dyes affect it

covert siren
#

That cant be dyed?

cyan glen
#

In older version that I used dyes yes, now Idk

#

Gonna check it

covert siren
#

it doesnt work

radiant meadow
#

I could've sworn it used to be dyable

covert siren
#

Nope

ashen warren
#

perhaps when it wasn't made of water?

copper orchid
#

The wiki says that the color of its lure the entire pet is changed by dyes

radiant meadow
#

It isn't anyone

#

Anymore

covert siren
dry grotto
#

i mean, can't u get hellstone stuff pre-skeletron 🤔

covert siren
#

Yeah

#

You can

copper orchid
#

Never mind. It references the entire thing. So it just doesn’t work

covert siren
#

Abyss stuff is supposed to be pre slime god

#

oops

cyan glen
#

The clone doesn't get dyed now

covert siren
cyan glen
#

Well, better, 1.4 thingy work BanditHueh

radiant meadow
#

oh, I see why it would've worked before

#

because it was missing some bools to identify it as a minion before

#

so Terraria thought it was a pet

cyan glen
#

Oh, interesting

copper orchid
#

So it can’t be dyed until dyeable minions in 1.4 or something

sand umbra
#

a way to craft the Shadow Key pre-Skeletron

#

what is this, luiafk?

#

that'd require making every Shadow Chest and Abyss Chest weapon balanced around that recipe

#

surviving in the Abyss is. not particularly difficult

copper orchid
#

It’d have to be made of bones in case you didn’t find it in a chest or scrapped it. Even then dungeon fishing exists

sand umbra
#

there's already a Shadow Key recipe that takes bones

copper orchid
#

You’re right

sand umbra
#

added by Calamity

rugged belfry
#

Good thing the way to get bones is via the Dungeon

sand umbra
#

Shadow Chest weapons and Abyss Chest weapons are both balanced around being post-Skeletron

rugged belfry
#

Makes sense

sand umbra
#

to make such an important gateway item available before the boss lock it's behind currently would require rebalancing all those items and would remove a fair few options people currently have for Slime God

#

yeah, that's right, you'd have less options for putting up with the god of Jell-O than you already do

neat crescent
#

if you really need the abyss weapons pre-skeletron just use star cannon

sand umbra
#

you don't need the Abyss weapons pre-Skeletron

#

period

#

end of story

neat crescent
#

bro period and end of story mean the same thing 😐

rugged belfry
#

that's the point of him saying that

sand umbra
#

that's why I said both, to express double the assertion of the same thing

warped tide
#

emphasis

rugged belfry
#

emphasis

sand umbra
#

emphasis really do be like that

#

byeah
@dry grotto please see all the stuff that has been stated above

#

in short, making the Shadow Key craftable pre-Skeletron is a horrible idea and will make an unhealthy amount of nonlinearity

copper orchid
#

Yeah, when you cite non-linearity for calamity, that doesn’t apply to skipping all of the weapons you’d have to get along the way. It means that (with slime god as example) if you can beat a boss before you’re supposed to with underpowered gear then you deserve to get the boss drops

neat crescent
#

I like to look at it like

sand umbra
#

(hell, you can argue Calamity already has something bordering on an unhealthy amount of nonlinearity)

marble mirage
#

hmm time to fight yharon at the start of the game

neat crescent
#

say the first boss you beat is hive mind, with the drops from hive mind you can easily shred the bosses before it

#

we can consider shadow key a skeletron drop

#

meaning it makes sense you need to beat skeletron to get it

sand umbra
#

everything from the Dungeon is post-Skeletron

#

because Skeletron is the guardian of the Dungeon

#

hell, even the Dungeon Guardians that appear when raiding the Dungeon pre-Skeletron are deadass just his head

neat crescent
#

its post-skeletron in the same way that the skeletron drops are post-skeletron, immediately available after beating skeletron

marble mirage
#

he is very angry

neat crescent
#

bro just get the architect gizmo pack

dry grotto
#

Hellstone stuff exists tho

#

U can shred any boss with that as well

sand umbra
#

finally someone who didn't ping-pong ditch me

tired haven
#

Or at least builder pot

neat crescent
#

or if you dont mind luiafk use the arena platform builder from there

sand umbra
#

Hellstone stuff only exists pre-boss if you go out of your way to fish up our good friend Sequence Break Shark

#

if you discount that meme, it is post-EoW/BoC and should be balanced as such

#

(I would argue that Reaver Shark's existence does fall somewhat under "unhealthy nonlinearity", but that's a topic for another time)

neat crescent
#

the main sequence break item that I have an issue with is the meteorite stuff

dry grotto
#

fiery greatsword's not that good sadly ech

sand umbra
#

yeah

#

Fiery Greatsword is

neat crescent
#

most players will break a shadow orb just to get the orb drops, and you only need a plat pickaxe to get meteorite

copper orchid
#

Reaver shark is vanilla’s fault

sand umbra
#

not so great

dry grotto
#

Needs a buff

sand umbra
#

so

neat crescent
#

and space gun w/ meteorite armor and star cannon are both great

sand umbra
#

Meteorite isn't really a sequence break per se

#

but the place it's at is...very strangely defined

dry grotto
#

Star cannon is pretty situational tho

sand umbra
#

Space Gun in Calamity is nerfed to only get a 50% cost reduction with Meteor armor rather than a full cost null

#

and the Star Cannon is balanced already by the fact that Fallen Stars are shit to farm en masse pre-Hardmode

neat crescent
#

you can easily get at least 20 stars per night

copper orchid
#

If you go out of your way

sand umbra
#

you go through those 20 stars in about 10 seconds

dry grotto
#

^

copper orchid
#

Besides, what’s 20 stars gonna last you in a fight?

dry grotto
#

And they don't benefit from adrenaline

sand umbra
#

actually no, 4 seconds

neat crescent
#

star cannon deals so much damage that 20 stars will take a chunk of the bosses' hp away, especially with rage and adrenaline

#

oh wait they dont?

sand umbra
#

Star Cannon's useTime/useAnimation are both 12

dry grotto
#

They don't

sand umbra
#

I'm...mildly certain I yelled at Ben to fix that? and tossed him the projectile I used to fix it with EE

dry grotto
#

Also platforms screw over the stars at times

tired haven
#

10 seconds is rather optimistic

sand umbra
#

I know for a fact Star Cannon got changed to be affected by actually rippers

#

yeah 10 seconds is optimistic

neat crescent
#

also uh

tired haven
#

You spend 5 stars per second

sand umbra
#

that's why I said 4 seconds

marble mirage
#

but is it a good idea to allow it to get boosted by rippers

neat crescent
#

wouldnt a shorter amount of time to use your ammo be a good thing?

sand umbra
#

yes

marble mirage
#

scary gun

sand umbra
#

because it is a weapon

tired haven
#

Well if you have a box and necro armor that becomes 6 seconds failure

sand umbra
#

just like everything else

marble mirage
#

well you're a weapon

sand umbra
#

Necro armor isn't pre-boss tho pensive

marble mirage
#

but ye makes sense

copper orchid
#

6 seconds if rng loves you and actually works.

digital saddle
#

i think calamity nerfing/buffing on a case by case basis is not great practice

neat crescent
#

like, if you can do alot of damage to a boss, wouldnt it be better to do that in 1 second vs 10 seconds?

marble mirage
#

necro armor is after stupid bones

digital saddle
#

by which i mean like

#

resurrection butterflies doing half damage to cultist

marble mirage
#

big skull idiot

digital saddle
#

destroyer resisting spear of paleo

#

etc

dry grotto
#

Necro's a bit mehh if u ask me ech

sand umbra
#

the point is, the Star Cannon fucking devours its ammo for breakfast and then calls you the greedy fuck for using Fallen Stars to fight a boss

tired haven
neat crescent
#

i think calamity nerfing/buffing on a case by case basis is not great practice
I dont see the problem with it so long as nerfs/buffs are told to the player in game

sand umbra
#

assuming you gather on average 30 stars a night, that is on average 6 seconds of a boss fight accounted for per night

marble mirage
#

that and you only get a reliable way to get stars in hardmode, where the cannon drops off a little

sand umbra
#

the average Calamity boss fight, in Rev (the intended difficulty of the mod fsfr), takes about 2-3 minutes

#

a day-night cycle takes 24 minutes of being tabbed into the game

tired haven
#

They are told, albeit not in the "hey look this shit was nerfed do you want to proceed?" but in "if you pay attention to stats they are different"

digital saddle
#

i have a question for you guys
How much power margin is acceptable between a regular item and its riv

sand umbra
#

you don't have most things that make Fallen Star farming trivial (Cosmolight, Stardust, Aureus, etc.)

dry grotto
#

Rare variant?

tired haven
#

There doesn't seem to be a direct comparison
Strongest differences between og and riv I have in mind are for Arbalest and Clothier Wrath

digital saddle
#

imo things like spear of destiny vs ichor spear is too much
ichor spear is mediocre even for cryogen, but spear of destiny could be post mechs

tired haven
#

(The Reaper vs Valediction for example is a sidegrade at best ngl)

sand umbra
#

tl;dr there's a reason Star Cannon has such impressive stats
you have to go really far out of your way to farm up its ammo en masse to assess even one attempt at a boss fight

digital saddle
#

reapers advantage is range

#

basically

copper orchid
#

Well, it’s a 1/200 drop from an enemy that can kill you in a few shots. What did you expect?

digital saddle
#

otherwise vale is better

sand umbra
#

The Reaper would be good if Valediction couldn't do just about everything it can but better and wasn't a billion times more common

copper orchid
#

1/500 for reaper

dry grotto
#

And the star cannon's also unreliable cause it's low accuracy and platforms destroy the projectiles

tired haven
#

Reaper was god but was nerfed several times for the exact reason, so

digital saddle
#

reaper is 1%

sand umbra
#

Star Cannon doesn't have low accuracy, hell it has no spread at all

dry grotto
#

It's pretty low tho

sand umbra
#

but its death on platforms is also something to be noted

tired haven
#

Um

#

It flies to your cursor

#

There is no spread even

dry grotto
#

I've tested it

marble mirage
#

RIVs are kinda just
meme versions of the original item

dry grotto
#

There is a slight spread but u can't see it cus stars are big projectiles

digital saddle
#

spear of destiny is legit gladderall

neat crescent
#

if the stars are big projectiles to the point where you cant even notice the spread, does the spread even matter

digital saddle
#

melts cal

#

and all mechs

tired haven
#

I have killed expert ML with star cannon and the only real trouble faced was mediocre velocity

dry grotto
#

Shrug

digital saddle
#

is the dps actually that good

marble mirage
#

yea

digital saddle
#

dont you get a star cannon upgrade by that point?

marble mirage
#

in calamity yes

digital saddle
#

and an easy way to farm stars (aureus)

marble mirage
#

not in vanilla

tired haven
#

Well, slightly worse than megashark
Also it was vanilla kill yes

radiant meadow
#

calamity gets rid of star cannon dying on platforms

sand umbra
#

oh so you did do the thing

tired haven
#

and no crits are gone, too

radiant meadow
#

I did
