Also about that tracer wings suggestion, giving tracer wings their own special effects like any other wings isn't a good idea in my opinion. They're already really strong options as they are, and giving Celestial Tracers hover functionality or giving Elysian Tracers a fast fall would only make other wing options worse in comparison to them. If anything hover functionality should be moved to Drew's Wings so it could actually compete with Celestial Tracers, Drew's Wings are better than Celestial Tracers in one aspect, which is giving you extra flight time that you don't need. Celestial Tracers already are wings combined with running boots and can give you extended immune time, so giving it a hover would make it way too good compared to Drew's Wings. The entire point of Seraph Tracers and its upgrades is to be a worse wing option without a bunch of special effects, because unlike other wings they come with the enormous benefit of saving you another slot. They really don't need to be buffed.
okay
omniscience should affect literally everything he throws out
That's a fair point izzy
because I personally never ever unequip tracers for wings
And like I said, it's dark during the fight and he throws out his projectiles at the edges of the screen, where it's darkest
actually i'm gonna make a suggestion to make drew's wings better compete with celestial tracers
I much preferred him without the blizzard
A lot of people actually prefer drew's wings due to the flight time.
That increased flight time is pretty insignificant because you don't really use up all the flight time Celestial Tracers give you when fighting SCal
I agree.
i prefer drew's to tracers for scal because i dont touch the ground during the fight
But the run buffs are also pretty useless for scal.
Celestial Tracers also give you extra immune time
That's why I use them, yeah.
I think that there's a stronger argument for buffing stuff like the tarragon wings.
ive always gone drew's over tracers
I really don't understand why you'd do that.
I don't see the point in sticking with drew's wings even if the running boots won't help, Celestial Tracers are upgraded almost instantly and give you extra immune time
i dont find myself getting hit often enough for the extra immune time to matter
the extra flight time doesn't really help
Honestly
But some people prefer them, and they are clearly superior in one aspect, so I feel like a buff isn't needed.
Is tracers giving more immune frames supposed to encourage using it
(Fun fact, the extra immune time doesn't do jack shit because SCal uses custom i-frames for all attacks, along with most other post-ML bosses)

Sooooooooooo
What’s it even for then 
oh ok then
boss rush gets you 2shot anyway
We’re sure as hell not gonna use it for the one other boss left
That cages you, anyway
tbh I say make tracers post SCAL and buff them
post scal
no
We have no main content after that
dev accessory 
scal will always be moved further btw
since scal will always be a post-story boss
or it should atleast be
since it's a superboss 
no she won't
she'll be demoted from superboss in the future
yharim after SCAL
Wiki says that tracers i-frames actually do matter in the scal fight.
SCal will become a regular boss, Yharim will also be a regular boss
Bee did you forget that she’s supposed to be demoted eventually
Noxus and Xeroc will become the superbosses

No
he was scrapped

Plz no.
Noxus And Xeroc are the two superbosses
Noxus is Goozma
O
Also Noxus is hella miss bc trade out interesting scenario for “generic cosmic evil that gets mentioned one or two times in the main story”
But this isn’t lore chat

i mean, isn't that how most superbosses work tho
look at the superbosses in final fantasy games
Yes but see: “generic”
I can’t add other emotes 
he better be

And then normal mode Xeroc is like fighting all post ML bosses at once on DM with preml gear
Please don't give him any diolague.
No dialogue planned afaik
Yay.
xeroc should talk tho
Xeroc already talks 
I always felt like scal's diolague took away from the fight.
Well he already does yeah
Wat
he better talk about the creation of terraria itself
where
oh i see
also, draedon should talk like that one guy from kid icarus
Why not just give
Draedon the personality of Agnus
This is offtopic
@hollow shell dyntos
btw
But ye
Imagine draedon not knowing how to read
Nahhhhhh rover
my favorite evenn,,,,,,,,, OOA 
It’s just #suggestions-discussion being #suggestions-discussion
Also it’s hard for anyone to touch ooa bc it’s ass
easily distracted 
i do admit tho, OOA needs to have a reason to be fought
cause atm it's like
"haha funny dragon"
You can’t even appreciate the dragon bc of the event’s specific gameplay
Aren't all of the weapons really good
and the armors moderately overpowered
Yes but there’s nothing else going for it
aerial bane too
the armors are only op in normal/expert
and even then it takes insanely long
vesuvius is what I used to no hit PBG
Betsy is probably the one thing that ooa is worth doing for
It's legendary tho
and even then, u can speed through post-golem insanely fast
and there's the chaotic bar armorset
The wings are pretty good in terms of mobility doe
Betsy wings are pretty sex
Yes, I need 5 minutes to prep every time i complete a wave
Betsy's Wings are really good
I was talking about buffing it after one of the post Moonlord bosses like what they did with the Pumpkin/Frost Moons, and making it mandatory.
mmmmm people would not like it to become mandatory
/\
Yes
yeah ooa sucks
waiting isn't fun
how about making it so u can spawn betsy outside of the event
also betsy's curse is buffed in calamity iirc
mandatory
OOA is one of those super tedious things that I often skip
Give me your address
"fake Crystal"
Honestly
how about doing a manual trigger for next wave
spawns betsy
Can we kill the fuckin timer
OOA is easy.

OOA is not easy
And I play Revengeance mode usually.
it's tedious af for when u do it since u need to get the sentries
OOA is pretty hard to do on-tier in my experience
Ehhhhhhhh betsy + clusterfuck of ennemies is 
the only way it becomes easy is with the tier3 sentries
I never get the sentrys.
But summoner is chad for OOA
It's easy without them.
and even then u can easily lose cause betsy makes it so u can't kill the regular enemies
^
then when betsy's about to die your crystal suddenly gets rekt
and u have to repeat the whole event that u spend like 10 minutes on
The sentries are here to kill the trashmmobs while you kill betsy
give crystal immortality but a timer to live once betsy spawns?
also, the crossbow sentry sucks
Guess I'm just good at crowd control then.
What gear u using
Is playing on normal mode
stormbow works in rev post golem OOA?
was that for post-mech ooa or post-golem ooa
Could you show a screenshot (or tell us wwhat you have including armor and accs)
I could record OOA post golem in rev with stormbow and post golem ranger
Don't have my game open. But I can say that I have Plague Bringer armor for post golem.
And the Magic Quiver, along with the Deadelous Emblem.
Hovever you spell that.
know what, I now wanna find all the most viable class setups for post golem OOA so I can make a guide
People underestimate the Stormbow.
nah, it’s not underestimated
u still use holy arrows?
I don’t use it because of the principle of the thing, it’s waaay too strong
Yeah basically a leg wep
people underestimate stormbow
but without the absurd drop rate
literally one of the first items this mod nerfed
speaking of nerfs, Im so happy the last prism nerf is going away
Maybe sugg another stormbow nerf then if it beats OOA post golem
last prism is an odd weapon and idk why it got nerfed
and dark spark needs a buff
Probably the same reason dan made araghur immune to it
dark spark is so cool but other weapons like venusian trident, ghastly visage, and stratus sphere are waaay better
the thing with last prism is tho that it deals more damage when concentrated
yet it uses so much mana that u're always firing it at 50% dps
dark spark is so cool but other weapons like venusian trident, ghastly visage, and stratus sphere are waaay better
Did Dark Spark get nerfed or something? I remember it being like really good
I can only manage like 16k DPS with it
it's just outclassed by most other mage weapons at the same tier, izzy
stratus sphere is freakin amazing tho
I can only manage like 16k DPS with it
DPS on what
actually lemme test it on boomer real quick so I can get more accurate results
ill test dark spark against 3 things: post polter acid rain, OD, DoG
how much of a frequent suggestion is "change set bonus mechworm to something else"?
not frequent?
weird, i'd expect it to be often
like, i get the idea of making a set bonus minion that you can upgrade on your own
but now that co(r)vid harbringer and cosmic viper are in the game it's kinda underwhelming, even when you use all your minion slots on mechworm segments
not even mentioning it's AI
I think we got that sugg once before because someone thought it was forcibly "taking up" a minion slot
even though we would have accounted for that
You could suggest that it be given a unique minion like all other armor sets
the problem i have right now is that my main reason is "since it's there, and you can upgrade it, you're pretty much forced to do so"
which is false, since you can just ignore it
but the fact it's an option feels like an implication you're supposed to do so
It is indeed the only armor set minion you can upgrade
which makes it kinda unique
in that the minion itself isn't unique
i'd say "if it had better AI then i guess it'd be okay"
but afaik trying to change anything for mechworm is absolute suffering
... I'm wondering if it'd be possible for the God Slayer armor to give you a single special mechworm segment that shot lasers or something, so it was more useful
That may also be hell
what was the consensus on cataclysmic's sugg? iirc it was cool but it would be a butt-ton of work for devs to implement which is discouraged?
Just more sounds?
That's not that bad
Considering this sugg pertains to my work I can just approve it :P
And I'll delete the old one cuz custom death animations are a Don't anyway
Do we think the Mega Dummy sugg is good enough now?
i don't think it'd hurt
it's kinda meh imo
and like
actual boss testing
which is a lot better in application than something with no AI
Actually yknow what
@bronze mauve For making your sugg fully optimal
you shouldn't title your sugg "Mega Dummy" and instead make it something like "Add a Super Dummy upgrade with adjustable size (or greatly increased size)"
(and remove that first line in your body, too)
so that way the main idea is in the main line, and so you don't give it a name which is a bit SIS-like
ok screw it im just deleting that and writing a new one
Aight fair enough
there
@bronze mauve formatting
@hollow shell
Current problems with Mechworm being the God Slayer Set Bonus (for summoner):
- It's not unique
- Extremely weak if not upgraded with Staff of the Mechworm, even compared to other set bonus summons
- Upgrading costs minion slots, and even then other on-tier stuff, such as Corvid Harbringer or Cosmic Viper have more DPS
- Mechworm's AI is at best questionable, sometimes ignoring the enemy or tailing behind them instead of staying on top
@wooden wedge fixed
mm
Aight this is better
honestly i think DPS against dummies is there to test the theoretical maximum potential of a weapon
and also what Schmiggle just said
same could be said for testing against bosses
I mean yeah you could just test against bosses
but also like
why would Super Dummies exist at all then
exactly
bosses move around a lot, and test results vary, even with the same setup and method, because the boss can just decide to dash in a different direction or enter a different subphase
by that logic you could test stuff on lunatic cultist instead of super dummies
very convenient
(no sarcasm totally)
how about like
oh boi, time to activate lunar event everytime i want to test my weapons
giving the ability to give dummies defense and DR
(at this point we're just tryin to recreate Luiafk's Patchwerk)
does it let you change it's defense?
no
Yes
Even iframes, iirc
relating back to my mechworm sugg, are there any other problems you guys can think of?
Are you sure about that?
Because I'm fairly sure it lets you change defense
I can test
s'in the tooltip
you gotta enter a command in chat to do it
huh
wait what
Yeah may as well
It's fine on its own
alright
does it say in the tooltip you can change their defense?
or, does it say you need to type in chat to change their defense?
should be
Could be your filters
check your filters
Doesn't let you see it cuz it's already installed, perhaps
also on an unrelated note cuz i just did testing, is endo hydra supposed to just kinda detach and go onto an enemy when you desummon it?
cuz that was kinda weird
Pardon?
yeee there we go
that's the luiafk dummy tho, not the calamity one
ah
Cuz I mean yeah, it is definitely the optimal dummy
The only thing it doesn't have it like
boss movement patterns
for maximum replication
i feel like that'd be wack to program tho
Prolly yes
maximum replication is just testing on bosses though,..,
true
okay, time to use my last 7 braincells to make a good sugg about changing mechworm
i managed to do a "add more bombs" sugg without making it a "make bomb-only viable", so i think i'll do well
seems to be fine
i never understood having the empyrian there myself
btw, about my bomb sugg ("add more pre-hm bombs"), was it another split-decision by the devs?
cuz it's been greenmarked for quite some time
Devs had no thoughts on it
so pretty much a rejection, okay .-.
you know
I'm not obligated to complete any suggestions
or even look at them
but I do occasionally
i'd love to see an accessory that combines most of the "true melee" accessories
(we appreciate your work, Ben)
(The fact you bother at all does mean a lot)
ok so I was just testing a buncha magic post polter weapons
Dark Spark is at best mediocre
Change the God Slayer Summoner Set Bonus to not be a Mechworm, or change the Mechworm somehow
Reason: The concept is fine on paper - make an upgradable set bonus minion. It stands out. However, there are a lot of problems with it, mainly:
- Because you upgrade it with the SotM, the minion isn't unique (like all other set bonus minions).
- Without any upgrades, the mechworm is pretty much useless, even when compared to other set bonus minions.
- Upgrading it costs minion slots, and even when fully upgraded the mechworm does less DPS than weapons like the Cosmic Viper and the Corvid Harbringer.
- The mechworm AI is... okay, at best. It either ignores the enemy, tails behind them (but not close enough to do contact damage) or circles them (and it starts from far away, so you need to wait for it to get close to deal damage).
how's this look?
That looks good.
wouldn't the formatting break it or?
i did shift+enter to make paragraphs so the bot shouldn't spill its beans
unless you mean bolding?
I thought more than one line breaks killed the bot
nah it shouldn't
i did a sugg with more than one line break some time ago and it worked
ah ok
i've had suggs before that had more than one line break and didn't die
Demik's first sugg seem fine?
I think so
vanity's never a bad idea
isn't the paladins hammer a 25% chance?
that's not that low
No it is a 9.8% chance
Weirdly enough, it's affected by Defiled Rune
And it's a vanilla drop, which means it will get boosted
weirdly enough, the wiki only says that "Affected vanilla rare items are given an additional +5% drop rate." in the Defiled Rune page
Indeed
This is still true
To me it just feels very non-descriptive
wdym?
The wiki doesn't specify something like "drops below 15% chance" or something like that. It just says "affected vanilla rare items".
Indeed
Because the precedent is kinda wonky and I'm pretty sure a few of them are oversights :P
That's why you have a list of all the items it affects
It's supposed to be any items below 5%
(except RoD because RoD)
oh god I forgot about that list
It's only a few pixels away from where you were reading
About God Bee's bloodcore bullet sugg...that just feels like a big balancing pain.
Cosmic Bar bullets seem fine, but the rapid fire rate that guns naturally have would make any type of thematic lifesteal bloodcore bullets a bit of a problem.
someone please tell me what the point of clamor noctus is
it has just about 0 purpose for where it is in the game
The Paladin Hammer is so annoying to get and so that is why i suggested the craft
cant u use zerg and defiled?
zerg will not end well and the defiled rune is only like a 5% more chance of getting rare items
You could suggest a recipe for it yes, it's fine
(and include in the sugg why Zerg+Defiled would be a bad idea, to cover your bases)
Post-Plantera is kind of
since most weapons/access craftings are after they become useful
wdym
For example, enchanted sword's crafting recipe is in Harmode, and Waterbolt requires a spelltome
mhmm
asking to remove a weapon
@toxic pagoda Removing weapons almost never happens.


ig
adding "asking to remove weapons" to the don'ts doc when
Honestly it prolly should happen
naw, it's fine
nvm
when was a weapon removed thanks to a suggestion tho
Hrm
idk removing content is something that very rarely happens from a dev decision, let alonge a suggestion
in most cases, a rework is better
There's Chibii's sugg asking to remove the melee variants of rogue weapons
and that got approved
but it's not really removing a weapon tho
that's kind of a very specific example
only "part" of a weapon 
aight I fixed the suggestion
removal is #4 and I stated that the other 3 options are probably preferable
Aight thats better
but seriously, Clamor Noctus really does suck
How do we feel about these three most recent suggs?
Any feedback for any of em?
The summoner DoG one is interesting
that might be a bit of a pain to discuss tho
and add to the game
how does a suggestion get to the suggestion voting
a mod approves it
ah ok
ye
Me, in this case
someone who is certified approves it with ✅
well, Rover or a mod/tmod
@true socket you got an idea for a specific Paladin's Hammer recipe?
not exactly.... but i think it needs somethings like hallowed bar and living shard and other stuff like that
why'd you need a specific recipe
Specific recipe isn't needed yeah
I kinda don't like the formatting on Dean's sugg, mainly bc of how spaced out it is.
Also yes.
Devs will figure something out
that's up to the devs for if it goes through
ok
[No quantities in mind] but I'd say holy water, purification powder, abyssal warhammer, and living shards
does deans sugg need those options?
Abyssal Warhammer is a strange choice
because of the whole devs deciding part
and yeah those options are fine
@crude geode if that's something that's unappealing for most including yourself, I can fix that
I think you could just get rid of the doublespace before the options
ok
Turn into a single space
Removing any of the other spaces would make it too much of a wall of text
imo
I'm mainly worried about it when it goes to being formatted and embedded by the bot
That's not a problem
and how it could take up a lot of space in voting
Or at least not a technical problem
yeah, it won't be a technical problem
how's that
that's better
is the bold good on the options or no cause the main header is already bolded
I don't think the bot cares
ok
do suggestions that get approved always come in packs of 3?
No
nope
or is it just any suggestion that's good
any sugg that gets approved gets approved
Any good sugg
I'm new to the changes in the suggestion system in this discord so I didnt know
check the pins
Particularly, read the topmost message in #suggestions-posting
(it's also pinned,,.,.)
there'll usually be a burst of several suggs approved simultaneously yea
it kinda depends on the mod/dev as well
yea
I spose I'll just ask
Apart from WeatherReport's Auric Tesla suggestion, does anybody have any feedback about the suggs currently in posting?
(feel free to ping the people in question if you do)
bloodcore bullets were already sugged were they not?
that sounds like something that could be suggested often
discord refuses to let the search funtion work properly
also no
it's been sugged like 2 times
I don't think it's too common afaik
huh
holy fire bullets arent bad
onyxia and holy fire bullets against Yharon is pretty damn good
i know
but i just feel like there's more opportunity for unique bullet effects
and again, consistency
I get it tho
why should arrows get special treatment over bullets while bows get a 20% dmg boost potion 
like maybe bloodcore bullets could be weaker but give lifesteal or something
yeh
having a choice with ammo is never a bad thing with rangers
vanquisher bullets should be portalled bullets if u ask me
as in: they get shot directly from where your cursor is
@ashen warren there's 3 tiers to OOA, tier 1 is when you get the tavernkeep, t2 is post mech bosses/ 1 mech boss(?), and t3 is post golem
at the cost of being weaker than some other bullet types
Yeah I remember post golem, just forgot to mention it.
add it to the sugg
I was talking about some fourth post Moonlord one. But I didn't know people didn't like the OOA
@dry grotto logically Cosmilite bullets should be better than pre-providence bullets, but the problem is Onyxia (and other guns) are already so damn good with holy fire, so post-DoG bullets would probably need to be a little weaker than Holy Fire but have homing or something
homing + portal effect
that'd be cool
would be a pretty darn good synergy with the skullmasher as well
which is a doggo drop
new post-Holy Fire bullets would mean rebalancing post-Holy Fire guns with the new bullets in mind which would be kinda 
unless the bullets themselves aren't stronger than holy fire bullets
cause they're not really needed, guns work when you have them post-ML, even though the only post-ML clam bullets are Holy Fire
I gotta admit that DoG bullets probably aren't needed, but blood core bullets with lifesteal would be interesting
tbh just giving them lifesteal would be kinda boring, it'd be better if bullets and arrows from the same set had separate effects
atm the only exotier weapons for ranged are bow, rocket launcher (i think) and a flamethrower
What if DoG got healed by Holy Fire Bullets because DoG feasts upon divine energy
guns get no love on that tier 😔
i know Terra bullets/arrows exist but i don't really like how they're the same except one is boolet and the other is aro
you practically don't even use terra arrows until later anyways
Ballista and Blossom Flux both have their own ammunition
using Blossom Flux normally in a playthrough 
shitty weapon?
Blossom Flux is a legendary
byeag either Terra bullets or arrows getting unique effects so they're more different would be epic
the best ranger weapon from plantera is definitely Venus Magnum
way better than blossom flux
not surprised my suggestion isn't getting many stars
Clamor Noctus is already becoming a forgotten weapon due to how bad it is
well not every suggestion gets fifteen hundred stars immediately after posting
you don't need to censor yourself
aDD yHaRiM tO tHe gAmE
*gets 318098952349085 stars
it wouldn't
ik lol
since meme sugg
Give Brimstone Elemental bigger boobs
so literal you are...
a meme or two doesn't violate this channel
i, for one, haven't voted on your sugg because i haven't played calamity mage yet
and as such i have no opinion on whether or not said weapon is good
understandable
you'd probably agree with me if you did play mage and used clamor noctus, but thats fair
no need to star something you haven't even seen
i'll be playing mage after i'll do a melee playthrough
and i'll do a melee playthrough after i finish my summoner playthrough
so i've got quite a way to go
I've been playing calamity for two years and have gone through every class multiple times so I know quite a bit about weapons, class setup, etc
like if you give me a random point in the game and say what class, I'll probably have a generally good guide for weapons and accessories
@tawny gyro what class u playing rn
summoner cause your suggestion? or am I wrong
This is for discussing Suggs, Dean. Take this convo to dms or calamity mod talk if you want casual conversation not relating to suggestions.
tru
Well, ethos doesn’t hurt to back up the reasoning behind a suggestion, but I think there needs to be a clear reason related to weapon balancing, regardless of who suggested it.
And you are saying that the weapon does too inconsistent damage?
and @crude geode a brief description about a playthrough can reinforce or contradict a suggetion
like for example, if a suggestion said something along the lines of Summoner being bad against Providence, I'd ask if they are using too many elemental axes, and encourage them to use many plague jets
Ok, what about the suggestion that you just sent? Cursed Being does have a point that you are a little off topic here.
Your point is valid. Yet your suggestion has already been approved and gone to voting.
yea ive moved on from discussing my suggestion at this point
Ok
tier shifting clamor noctus and removing it entirely aren't things that will happen
because clamor noctus is part of a weapon set
@vague laurel would be a bluecheck + probably in the works
Actually I don't think it'll be a bluecheck cuz the cutoff date got moved
ah
This'll be the new bluecheck target
i feel like this has been suggested a lot though
thats probably because it has been
since so many people have suggested it now, its either in the works or will hit the quota
After this gets accepted, should we add it to the Frequently Suggested Don'ts, actually?
probably yeah
prolly.
ye
Ye
Anybody got feedback for him before approval?
Nope.
seems fine to me
I think its good

i want to note that
💹 comes up before ✅ sometimes
and when im tired they look the same.
i may or may not have accidentally reacted to some suggestions with 💹 before
that's actually kinda hilarious ngl
what is that even supposed to be
yen stocks??
Yen
I personally approve of this one
I like concise tooltips and I do feel like it's unnecessary to have the same explanation over and over
I agree with the post provi bullet sugg, but it would probably have to come with a HF bullet nerf
at the moment, despite being available pre providence, HF bullets are fully capable of lasting the rest of the run (assuming you upgrade your guns)
if more tiers of bullets were added, HF would have to get nerfed
can i get any feedback on my sugg? it gets yeeted in 4 hours so i just wanna make any necessary edits beforehand
I believe the only limitation is sprites + something to request on the art server
nothing else
thats true, it would certainly be a lot of work sprite-wise
I think it's fine. Nobody had anything to say other than agreement
Now, what about BryFtw's suggestion?
... It almost seems too obvious
Like, yeah of course we should do that
seems like an oversight if anything(?)
i dont see any problems
According to whomever programmed it, programming it to even work somewhat was hell
I’ll approve it but not sure if it’s plausible
Whoever suggested boss summon roars is the GOAT
Buff the tarragon and bloodflare armor summoner helmet variants.
The tarragon and bloodflare armors are weaker in terms of their minion stats than stardust, and only give slightly better minion damage boosts to compensate. Stardust gives 5 minions and 66% increased minion damage, vs 4 minions and 71% increased minion damage for tarragon and 3 minions with 77% minion damage for bloodflare. Since these armors are after stardust in progression, and since stardust isn't a glass cannon armor, I find it odd that stardust is better than them in its damage stats. Due to this, the tarragon and bloodflare summoner sets should be buffed so that they are a straight upgrade to the players summoner abilities.
Does this look good?
@void kelp Does this look good?
mhm
Thanks.
anyone got any oppositions or feedback on recent suggestions?
Do the helmet's minions not compensate sufficiently for that loss
iirc people've said the Polter mines aren't great
but what about Tarragon's killaura?
I guess I should check that out.
it's a trend for all calamity summon armors ngl
- less minion slots
- more minion damage
- summons <xyz> to damage your foes
Is the tarragon aura visible?
no
Guess I'll test the aura size tomorrow w cheatsheet then.
(ideally it should be but iunno if that's ever been sugg'd)
The 200 damage per frame looks insanely powerful. If the aura has good range, I'll change my sugg to focus on bloodflare.
(damn, 12000 DPS?)
that seems... a little high
I assume it's pretty close-range
yeah, because if its not then that is some serious damage potential
well, yes, but actually no
main thing is that it should be requested to the article server iirc
how do
Just go in the pixel art channel and ask
aighty, gl
i asked in the pixel art channel and they said that you cant request stuff
unless i'm in the wrong server, which is entirely possible
Wait really?
Calamity Art server, with the rainbow (mostly blue) thumbnail?
this one
hm
We may have been erroneously redirecting people
I mean, it's not like we ever notified the art server people that we have this policy of being unable to suggest resprites
ah
We just kinda told people to go there and hoped for the best cuz it seemed logical, I guess
lol, fair enough
well maybe this is a good opportunity for me to get into spriting as well
although idk how long thats gonna take to learn
Usually takes a while
Especially if you wanna get really good at it, and have your submitted sprites be regularly accepted
thats what i thought, yeah
maybe ill wait till school's out before i start
so i actually have time to do it
aighty
I think totality breaker needs a big rework
It's getting explosion sprites soon, don't worry
(and as a result, lingering hitboxes)
I just think that being a Molotov cocktail when there are so many really cool and unique components to it is disappointing
ye, which is why it's gettin explosions
cuz 2 of its 4 ingredients have explosions
I also think supernova could be improved
The heavy arc aside, it's not particularly unique compared to other auric weapons
also getting an explosion
Its awkward to use vs scal also
Has the concern yet been raised that it's much more difficult to get fetid essence/corrupt flask/ambrosial ampoule/ on corruption worlds than it is on crimson worlds, especially on Deathmode (due to multi-hp-bar worms). Between the devourer/world feeder seeming to spawn rarer than face monsters and herplings and the Deathmode-specific case of the corruption essence enemies being essentially mini-bosses unless you have a worm-destroying weapon, it makes it quite a bit harder to get than the bloodletting essence.
@dapper coral abyssal/lumenous amulets and iron boots just got player equip sprites very recently
btw @hollow shell , a guy DMed me from the art server and said he could try to make equip sprites for those items, just so you know (sorry for the ping, just wanted to know if there's anything else i need to do in the way of requesting sprites)
There isn't really an official process
Cool that someone's willing to do em
(here's hoping they're not also a beginning spriter)
isnt that literally a vanilla feature roastedtoast?
It doesn't always work 100% but yes that feature does exist
@open inlet Right click on the enemy with any summon weapon.
Also Rover, try to redirect people to ask for sprites specifically in the "Media" chat of Art Server
Psure a convo happened and the pixel art chat isn't for that
might wanna specify
A lil odd but alright, I can edit the Don'ts doc
you can ask mrrp if that's right too, they had the convo, I just overviewed it 
mhm, sounds like that was the final consensus on asking for sprites/resprites
aight
any disagreements with this list of potential equip sprites? sorry if this is the wrong channel, i'm not really sure where to put this stuff since it technically is involved with a sugg but also not really
now that i'm looking at it, this is a hell of a lot of potential sprites
if I received one dollar for every time I've seen people asking to make vanilla changes into a config
I would be a rich man
is it a dont?
It isn't, but it's always been a bit of a controversial one
yeah it's not strictly a don't, but it has historically been a heavy topic of contention amongst the Cal community for a variety of reasons
Shouldn't it be sent to the dev team or smth for a finalized decision
I'm new to Terraria modding, what's the problem with adding more choices for how to play the game? I understand the Don't of configs for death mode as that defeats the purpose of the mode, but...
Thoughts?
I'd be down
Sounds good
I'll send it in like 4 minutes it's not instantly sent
This is indeed an issue I have seen
It'd be good to be able to ping all available staff instead of having to ping one, wait, ping another, wait
until one replies
btw Adir's and Mann's suggs are gonna get yeeted in like 30 minutes
What were the issues with em?
I don't see why either would be an issue, but from an objective standpoint I think they're fine suggs
Pinkie pinged Adir earlier with this:
https://discordapp.com/channels/225030931008847874/465195069406707722/708218943634014218
Mann was never pinged tho
Yes those are flaws with the core concept of the sugg, but we're supposed to send ones that are at least sendable no?
He heard the information and didn't feel that it was enough to make him remove his sugg, that's fine
yeah I spose it can just get rejected to hell by the devs, or go unstarred
I was thinking that the devs can just like
try to make it match better rather than exactly
like iirc we did with Leviathan one time
Yea. Reason you wouldn't star something =/= reason it shouldn't be sent
Alright then
Or maybe it doesn't appeal to you
Also, a lotta people chimed in for Bee's sugg but it was never edited
I dunno if there was any prudent feedback
or you don't think its necessary
If a sugg should be sent is normally objective
My subjective opinions on it do not matter unless they break a rule I enforce
iirc pinkie mentioned that the Proper Providence Hitbox suggestion would be a lot of work, and could possibly ruin the viability of other weapons against Providence in the process of making one weapon easier to use against her, that isn't even unviable currently.
that's a reason for Devs to not accept it, not a reason to not be passed
Is there anything wrong with Celest's suggestion? https://discordapp.com/channels/225030931008847874/699359022364491868/708371526650429560
Not from what I see
Seaweed being able be caught in a sky lake 
Anything wrong with Bee's? https://discordapp.com/channels/225030931008847874/699359022364491868/708376550105677836
Alright, next is Debug's https://discordapp.com/channels/225030931008847874/699359022364491868/708384671721062504
The thing he needed to edit about his sugg was he accidentally merges two tiers in his explanation
They get buffed after a Mech and after Golem
but he only mentions the Mech buff
@ashen warren
While we wait for that response, let's talk about Pige's https://discordapp.com/channels/225030931008847874/699359022364491868/708524630742270013
I'd prefer if he used the wiki image but it seems okay
^
Oh, should I go and change that?
Yes
Right I just changed it.
"This is why I think it should be buffed a second time, "
this still needs changing
Done.
aight
I think it looks good now
As much as I despise the idea of OOA being required, the suggestion is valid.
Well it's already a vanilla feature
I still feel like that’s unnecessary with summoning circle tbh
And by summoning circle I mean summoner right click
I think they just don't know the right click feature exists
Yeah
@charred perch Why at the end of the Boss Rush?
(I don't think you really need to specify how it's obtained)
The boss rush doesn’t really have anything to do with him
Yeah doesn't really make sense thematically
yeah maybe yharon
Believe so ye
*Welp here goes another 10 mins of my life"
I think just making the drop not specific would be good to fix this.
oke
you have been oppeased
I thought of this because my characters supposed to look like yharim
but nothing looks like the helm
Yeah i mean not many people roleplay in terraria i think but it will def help them
yeah but cool helmet what else can you ask for
ancient auric 

isnt this SIS
Huh
YuH really just be out here being the omniscient god of calamity changes/leaks
Also SIS usually need to have a name, sprite, and such and such to be classified as such. An idea like “Dyes based on Boss Screen Overlays/Shaders” is fine, since it’s not specific enough and doesn’t provide examples.
smh im not omniscient, im still trying to find the exact version the celestial claymore was added and its giving me a headache 
You're doing an history section in the wiki or you're just looking for the fun?
fun
A general consensus wasn't made on Zeon's https://discordapp.com/channels/225030931008847874/699359022364491868/708557730411184129
Good?
It's kinda 
I have big doubts it'll get approved by the devs
but I guess it's valid?
Seems fine, just more sprite work tho
I thought that making a config to revert vanilla changes was in the dont's
It’s definitely a weird situation.
If this sugg eats shit then I'll consider adding it to the Don'ts
considering iirc it usually doesn't go over well whenever it comes up
Alright now question
Is this one a bluecheck of this
https://discordapp.com/channels/225030931008847874/263382359397761025/704300462719107072
most likely
Assuming this Yharim vanity would be a different version of auric Tesla, then yes
kinda, the only distinctive yharim set piece there is is the mask
auric armor works for the rest of the body - the cape
(btw yes indeed)
@burnt spade You still gotta edit your sugg, it's very weak and arguable/incorrect at the moment
I blue checked it, is that all I gotta do?
Yeah
Also can I quickly get your feedback on this? I didn’t get a response when I put it in chat https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/465195069406707722/708557422083702804/Screen_Shot_2020-05-08_at_10.53.09_PM.png
Is this fine for the list of equip sprites?
Ik it’s quite a lot
can I make a list of suggs over 120 stars and ping a dev or smth?
You could categorize a bit
That would also be important dunno how tf I didn’t think of that for an equip sprite list
Okay awesome, thanks for the idea
I’ll send that to the guy tomorrow and then we’ll see what happens
aight
Had a weird idea, and would need to draft it, but I was thinking about how it’s very difficult to learn boss patterns if you don’t actively look at the wiki and the boss tips pages. What if the guide (or some other npc) gave tips for bosses? Such as warning about the bullet hell phase of Provi, the dash phase of Yharon, etc.
Perhaps
Isn't that just part of learning a new boss? Like Plantera going rage mode for the first time or finding out Moonlord gives the middle finger to normal health regen stuff
I feel like there’s a point at which something should be learned vs communicated. For example, you can learn the hard way about Provi’s bullet hell and negative healing gimmicks. On the contrary, it may be hard to figure out that the cause of the random Debuff causing deaths in the fight is getting too far away from her
I actually think a fix to that would be a particle ring showing the radius that you have to stay in around her (like the abomination in Fargo’s souls), but that’s not the point of the suggestion
didn’t you make a sugg about that
Certain things can be hard for the player to learn, and I don’t think a player should be forced out of the game for knowledge about a boss. It’s a common thing for most games nowadays, but I feel like we have a npc that can help players already in the game, so why not utilize him?
nom
I put that suggestion in here, but got no feedback so didn’t actually post it
Ty YuH. I think those provide a good example of how the guide can help provide players with a bit of knowledge about a boss’ key mechanics before they actually fight them.
Never saw any description of those fights before other than that Yharim was just over player sized
The more I think about it, the more I think Draedon as a ML style fight would be dope as hell. (Yes I’ve seen the don’ts, this is 100% not a suggestion)
Draedon just sends his exo mechs to fight you as far as we know
i've heard conflicting things about if he will actually be in the fight at all
I feel like he should be, but I’m not too caught up with the planned features
he's a nerd, nerds dont fight, even if the fight is named after them smh
Draedon doesn’t seem like the type of person to actually fight the Terrarian tbh
Also yes what YuH said
but anyways, this is suggestions
Yes
I probably won’t suggest anything right, just cuz I can’t form coherent thoughts, but I’ll prolly whip something up later
about that one big list of equipables that need sprites it's really not needed 
The spriters can figure out what needs a sprite themselves, theyre just too lazy
dump them in sprites needed then
sprites needed
lol
i dont want to deny 5 submissions per accessory until a dev finally makes one themselves
Oooh I like the idea of a Yharim vanity
just wait for yharim to get added and use his mask 
or use a texture pack
I'mmana rip and tear all of Yharim's guts
Starcore change has been suggested a few times
People: Make more unique boss spawns!
*Deus has a unique boss spawn
People: Make it so you can ignore unique boss spawns!
poor unique boss spawns
Killing atlases is pretty unique, dont you think

More unique than consuming a summoner
hold out a key in the air and a compact magic castle gets mad at you
Brimmy: "You have an idol that means many things to me!"
AS: "You have food that I want to eat!:
Cryo: "K E Y"
Thrust a Medallion upwards and a resurrected flesh golem by necromancy appears out of thin air
smh can we change cosmic worm tbh, the only reason its like it is is because it was invented when DoG was a destroyer clone 
its made of dark stuff, more dark stuff, and some metal
atlas:get killed after cultist
astrum deus: you may have slain many of them before for farming stardust, you may have slaugthered many other enemies from this biome other than atlases, but now i am angry for those 3 you killed now
also for the love of god please flip the sprite
piggy is only flipped like it is for vanilla consistency
But I can see it. I sort off agree with this yuh
Because apparently NPCs always face left and items always face right
Wait
Killing 50 Piggies should spawn a really angry piggy
~~smh whatb about this https://discordapp.com/channels/225030931008847874/263382359397761025/590763387760148490~~
Oh god that suggestion was in the dark days of SIS
smh why did this sug get approved but not all the hive pet sugs 
smh 
God
Roasted toast you do know that summoners have a rightclick
quite of a few calamity summon weapons don’t have right-click functionality though oddly
Have you ever right clicked with a summon weapon
Then why did they ask to add something so that summons can be ordered to target something
Because if they have ever right clicked with a summon weapon they would know that's already in the game
quite of a few calamity summon weapons don’t have right-click functionality though oddly
sounds like a bug/oversight
some summons just ignore targeting entirely
and some weapons don't have the ability to target in the first place because their right-click does something else
e.g. Igneous Exaltation's right-click does not target, but rather launches all blades orbiting you
Siren is annoying. I spam her with right click and my summons completely ignore her
i mean what would igneous exaltation targetting even do lol
wasn't that fixed ages ago
Still here in the current version
Yeah and defiled rune
I got like 2 in ten minutes
Not unlkely, with spawn rate boost ellyfish spawn like crazy
piggy faces right in source, I just cropped it when making the item
The NPC is flipped from source for wiki purposes @hollow idol
@sage granite specific item suggestions (SIS) aren't allowed currently
Oh, My apologies
A better way to rephrase your suggestion would be to say: There should be a variety of post mech summon weapons dropped by the mechanical bosses
you would have to have adequate reasoning tho
Me and wording are like a swimming pool full of people and a live electronical wire about to fall in
nice
The only loophole I see is having a good reason.
Calamity adds a lot of summon weapons but if you have a good reason go ahead.
Maybe all 3 can be combined later to make some sort of hybrid using all 3
Or just make them bigger, Summon all 3 at onces for 4 slots
No idea, I like pushing ideas, No idea if they are even useful
That's a great idea that I don't think needs any reasoning. It's just cool
It's not a balance or recipe change, not everything needs reasoning
is this implying worm summon
Have you ever created anything large? Most things (in games at least) get added without much reasoning
Because they just seem right/cool
Can't deny that
But calamity devs will miss out on a couple of really cool suggestions
Not like I have a better way of doing this
thing is, cool is subjective. that's why they ask for a valid reason. to make it objective
I don’t know if other players feel the same way, but I think Polterghast is way too easy. I was thinking maybe Polterghast dashing towards the player more often would be a good change. Again, I don’t know how other people feel about the boss so idk if that would be a good change.
My only reasoning why is the Twins get a minion summon item, It makes sense you could say reprogram the other 2 mechs to work for you as a minion
That's why we have voting. It's still subjective, but the devs see if the majority think this way.
You can control Calamitas and her brother's, A robot wouldn't be a stretch
"it makes sense" isn't really good reasoning for an item suggestion
- but the majority isn't always right
- devs aren't obligated to push through the suggestions, so subjectivity will be on their side
Maybe I should stop making suggestions 😅 I've made a few and all ended badly 🤣
Nobody is obligated to do anything here, that's not what I'm saying. But suggestions already operate on the idea of majority voting, so this wouldn't be much of a change. Besides, if you really look at it, everything is subjective, some may find the reasoning given enough, some don't.
Again, I get the problem, and I'm not proposing that we should remove the current rules.
I just sort of thought that that could be how you craft drew's wings, y'know, instead of them dropping from yharon, which feels a bit forced in my opinion
I can see your point
Do you guys think polterghast is too easy, too hard, or just fine
I think it's ok with any class that isn't Melee
Yeah
The general consensus is basically that
What if the fight had harder to dodge bullets?
Because as melee and even true melee you can camp the entire fight without having to worry about anything and demolish him with adrenaline
Polterghast is a lil easy, It stays at a distance like Plantera, shoots at you like Plantera, Only difference is you get the circling claws around you that fire orbs that if focused on are simple to avoid......So my answer is yes
I think necroplasm should rush at you more and necroghast should have.. I dunno, exploding bullets?
Homing maybe but not exploding, Doesn't sound right for a boss like that given its origin
Good point
Maybe it fires plasm at you that if you dodge will go into a portal looking thing then spawn behind you and charge, If that misses it'll become something extra you need to kill
But either way it should punish you way more for getting close to it
Oh yeah
That's actually a great idea you had
But yeah, as it stands polterghast is completely free for melee because of the lack of punishment from getting close to it
And its too easy for all classes in general
Especially given its a post-ML boss
Yeah
Lol someone posted earlier today that they "kinda accidentally killed polterghast" as their first post ML boss
So that goes to show

@exotic canyon Specific item suggestions aren't allowed
what's with mech summon sis today
make sure you read the suggestion don'ts document in the pins before making a suggestion
ahh ok
i suggested a destroyer mechworm way back when
i think it would be hard to design a prime summon
omniscience doesnt help that much
hold on, forgot if I asked already but is the rogue station a blue check?
also! @dapper ferry https://discordapp.com/channels/225030931008847874/369115362186231809/708747328848134212 🏁
AYYY I MADE A DIFFERENCE!
congrats lol, your change will be immortalized in calamity history
first checkered flag reaction c:
