onyx river
#

as there is already squire that does melee

pastel lichen
#

yea but I dont think they like to adjust vanilla armor set bonuses

#

besides like numbers wise

opal bear
#

I think there are rules against modifying armor and also Monk is not a rogue

onyx river
#

I mean they already changed obsidian and a fewother armors to be rogue tho

pastel lichen
#

they didnt have set bonuses in vanilla was the thing

onyx river
#

And monk would be the closest to rogue

#

True

pastel lichen
#

was looking at this part of the Suggestion Don'ts document for that

crude geode
#

^

onyx river
#

fair

#

i still find it weird that there are 2 armor sets for melee in OOA

opal bear
pastel lichen
#

idk how good it'd be balance wise but it could be kinda unique if it ran towards enemies upon hitting ground

opal bear
#

Ueah

onyx river
#

With the distinct sound as well

opal bear
#

Except they're chibi

crude geode
#

It’s all just the bias towards melee noye
(This is getting into SIS, so it probably should end here)

opal bear
#

Yeah

#

But the issue is, Kobold Dolls is more of a tier 2 thing

pastel lichen
#

generally are all the weapons terraria adds versions of DD2 weapons?

opal bear
#

There is still nothing that Betsy would rreasonably drop

pastel lichen
#

or are they just thematically inspired

opal bear
#

@pastel lichen they're quite literally DD2 weapons

onyx river
#

Well he did ask for Ogre drops as well

opal bear
#

Ogre drops are all DD2 weapons as well

pastel lichen
#

tbh that might explain the lack of anything in calamity touching the event because they'd probably have to talk to the DD2 devs and re-logic about it

onyx river
#

Well it's still nothing official they can do what they want

crude geode
#

^

opal bear
#

Not true

pastel lichen
#

oh yea good point

onyx river
#

within the official modding boundaries that is

opal bear
#

Relogic has said no a few of the things Calamity has tried to add

#

DD2 might as well

#

It's worth asking however

onyx river
#

Could you give an example i've never heard of it

crude geode
#

^

pastel lichen
#

its kind of a weird area because looking at the dungeon defenders 2 wiki, betsy literally drops the 4 weapons she drops in terraria

onyx river
#

The only thing calamity related that has been denied of my knowledge is the OST being put on spotify and it's understandable since it's out of terraria

pastel lichen
#

but still I dont think itd be out of bounds to add a rogue weapon to each boss even if they arent directly inspired, just as a progression improvement

crude geode
#

Even if Calamity can’t just copy paste weapons for rogue into the crossover, they can always...make new things, that are up to the Calamity devs.

sullen wing
#

wait, but what claim does relogic have on calamity's OST
they don't own it, why can they say no to that

pastel lichen
#

prob just a good faith matter tbh

onyx river
#

Better idea, talk with the DD2 devs and add rogue weps in DD2 so it's justified to put them in Terraria

crude geode
#

the big brain play

opal bear
#

No

onyx river
#

No but srsly there is no real good answer to this

opal bear
#

Unless we can convince DD2 devs to add an entire defender just to use one class of weapon

#

I don't think that's gonna happen

crude geode
#

The best answer is to just leave it to the devs.

opal bear
#

Yeah

onyx river
#

I mean i wasn't gonna make a sugg out of it

opal bear
#

Okay so there is a goblin miniboss that throws grenades

#

His name is Quibly

onyx river
#

Anyways has a sugg in posting been not discussed here yet, don't remember seing some of them

opal bear
#

So Quibly's Grenades is an option for a weapon

#

Quibly's Grenades and Kobold Doll

crude geode
#

Terra Edge Ichor was never discussed iirc

opal bear
#

Tier 2 and 3 respectively

#

Idk in single player I think Terra Edge is fine, it's a relatively good utility weapon

#

But in multiplayer yeah I can admit usually the Ranger has ichor bullets

#

Or the ever common Golden Shower

#

But in a non-crimson world it's actually some of the best Ichor you can get without QoL mods that let you just swap cursed flames for ichor

onyx river
#

I think the part abt being able to use a flask is really weak since the same could be said about other weapons and even magma gauntlet with flask of fire and it also allows you to use another flask while still having ichor

opal bear
#

That too

dapper coral
#

thing is fire gauntlet also gives more damage and stuff, so it's actually worth it

onyx river
#

Magma stone then

opal bear
#

You can have both cursed flames and ichor if you're on a corruption world

#

And wouldn't that be neat

dapper coral
#

afaik no one uses magma stone by itself

formal cobalt
#

does Fire Gauntlet actually improve damage in Calamity?

onyx river
#

You have the evil island doe for that

dapper coral
#

i think it does in vanilla

onyx river
#

Yes it does

formal cobalt
#

It's worse than the Mech Glove in vanilla damage-wise

onyx river
#

Ye the only reason i craft it is to not trigger my OCD

dapper coral
#

that it is

formal cobalt
#

I don't bother with it

opal bear
#

Debuffs that only do damage kinda lose their shine after a while

#

Most buffs that people want to use and aren't just bonus are usually that way because they are not DoT or they have a nice secondary effect

onyx river
#

Ye i wish terraria devs made smthing to make corruption and crimson a bit more equal

formal cobalt
#

why the hell is Skele Prime immune to Cursed Flames but not Ichor?

opal bear
#

Because it's hard to set metal on fire 4head

onyx river
#

Because haha funny tome go pisssss

opal bear
#

But it's not hard to piss on a robot

#

I've done it before

formal cobalt
#

But it naturally unbalances Corruption and Crimson

opal bear
#

Please laugh that was kinda funny

crude geode
#

tbfh, vanilla terraria devs actively take away things from the player to make things harder, so relying on them for balance is kinda ech
No.

onyx river
#

Twins arn't imune to cursed flames doe

formal cobalt
#

That makes even less sense

#

How do they live with each other

#

with Spaz constantly shooting them out

opal bear
#

Yeah considering one of them uses it how do they not set themselves or each other on fire that's so odd

crude geode
#

(Are you relying on vanilla for consistency? Mistake numero uno.)

onyx river
#

I mean the player isn't necessarily immune to the debuff he inflicts, also one could say that retinazer avoids the cursed flame by flying above you most of the fight

formal cobalt
#

I think it's kind of the charm of Vanilla, even if it sucks sometimes

onyx river
#

But yeah tbf it'sdumb

formal cobalt
#

Terraria but enemies can hurt each other and draw aggro on each other.

opal bear
#

That sounds really easy

#

I'm gonna assume bosses are immune tho?

formal cobalt
#

idk lol

opal bear
#

At least to the aggro part

formal cobalt
#

for the aggro definitely

opal bear
#

God skeletron would kill himself so fast

formal cobalt
#

Who would win? SK Prime or his laser?

opal bear
#

Pumpking literally couldn't hurt his own hands

#

So the hands would guaranteed win

dapper coral
#

this is getting rather offtopic

formal cobalt
#

EoW constantly deals damage to himself

opal bear
#

Poor thing

crude geode
#

What Demik said

formal cobalt
#

aight I'm done with this

crude geode
#

I don’t see a real reason to change up the ichor effect? It’s reasoning is rather weak, and the special effect of edge is that you get that sweet sweet healing

pastel lichen
#

not to revive a discussion thats already kind of over, but I did notice that calamity already does add a betsy drop that I don't think exists in dungeon defenders 2, https://calamitymod.gamepedia.com/Vesuvius

Calamity Mod Wiki

The Vesuvius is a Hardmode Legendary wand that is rarely dropped by Betsy in Revengeance Mode. Its left-click attack is similar to the Meteor Staff; it calls down a swarm of molten asteroids that explode upon hitting a tile or an enemy. Its right-click attack launches several ...

opal bear
#

yeah that doesn't exist in DD2

#

Well that kinda stinks actually

#

that just existing kinda makes the event feel lamer ngl

#

Like the coolest thing about the event was that this was all real stuff

crude geode
#

as in from another game?

#

either way, it really doesn’t matter. This suggestion is really just up to the devs on how they want to implement it, if they even do, and how the community feels about the sugg.

void kelp
#

you can add “and reason for rogues to do this event”

opal bear
#

Yeah everything in the event was DD2

#

but now it's not

crude geode
#

that’s already in the sugg spider.,.

opal bear
#

which is lame because the rogue weapons I theorized were technically weapons from DD2 even

#

being Quibly's Grenades and Kobold Doll, since suicide Kobolds exist and there is an enemy who throws grenades

#

those may not be weapons wielded by heroes

#

but they're still closer to DD2 than Vesuvius

pastel lichen
#

@void kelp added it to the end

crude geode
#

tbfh, most of the community doesn’t particularly like OOA so most wouldn’t care, and also the Calamity devs do what they want to do.

void kelp
#

@north adder can you make your suggestion stand alone without any mod interactions in mind?

crude geode
#

In terms of Vesiuvus’ relation to DD2

dapper coral
#

unfortunately you have to have a better reason than 'why not'

wooden wedge
#

@placid cloak ^

dapper coral
#

if there is a valid reason that you can think of that would involve adding crystal variants to all of those things, then that's fine, but adding things for the sake of adding them is a no-go

crude geode
#

PSC is a dedicated item iirc

violet dagger
#

!wiki profaned soul crystal

red stormBOT
#
Calamity Mod Wiki

"The Profaned Goddess has recognised your devotion to purity!"
The Profaned Soul Crystal is a craftable accessory that is also dropped by Providence, the Profaned Goddess under certain conditions. Providence naturally has a low chance to drop it in Expert Mode, though the chance increases significantly after Supreme Calamitas has been defeated. In singleplayer, Providence is guaranteed to drop it if the player defeats her in Expert Mode using only the Profaned Soul Artifact and optionally Golden Gun.
The Profaned Soul Crystal has two distinct states dependent on whether or not Supreme Calamitas has been defeated in the world. Before defeating Supreme Calamitas, the accessory is entirely vanity. After defeating Supreme Calamitas, the accessory gains extensive combat functionality.

violet dagger
#

yup

unkempt bolt
#

yeah

#

dedicated to amber

violet dagger
#

so they can't be upgraded with shadow spec

#

unless a dev steps in and asks for dedication

unkempt bolt
#

would be pretty weird for PSA's upgrade to be post-scal, but DSA and GSA's to be pre-scal

karmic stone
#

All the other artifacts are just item items yea

unkempt bolt
#

would also be an instant upgrade since GSA is a yharon drop

violet dagger
#

gsa could definitely do smth similar to psa

unkempt bolt
#

which is cringe

#

dont make it a shadowspec item, make it require calamitous essence galaxybrain

violet dagger
#

not really a "yharon drop" but I get where you're coming from

unkempt bolt
#

post-yharon item yeah

violet dagger
#

the sugg definitely needs better reasoning other than "others have it, why not"

wooden wedge
#

Reasoning stanky and dedicated item stanky

#

,..,

dapper coral
#

yeah, something tells me this is a no-go regardless

#

bc psc is dedicated so anything else would have to be dedicated in order to be on the same tier

gray nebula
#

@ dom scrap my dev item I'm gonna ask for godly soul crystal

crude geode
#

you become yharhar

sand umbra
#

time to change my item to plagued soul crystal

#

what do you mean, there is no plagued soul artifact

#

there's a soul artifact for everything

crude geode
#

Can’t wait for the guide soul artifact
(Nice to see you btw Thomas)

sand umbra
#

helo

crude geode
#

anyways, had the thought rolling in my head of a possible temporary repel for boss summoning mobs (i.e. voodoo boys and siren lures and the such)
would allow the player to do things like build arenas peacefully without random boss summoning because you haven’t beaten them for the lore yet

#

mainly for summoner which easily spawns bosses while doing that, but it can apply to anyone really

hollow shell
#

Those exist

#

ah, not the lore itens

#

That'd be kinda redundant with the biome lores' current functions

crude geode
#

Ehhhh, I was saying so that way you can build an arena in peace before you kill the boss, but ig so

hollow shell
#

I spose it could work if it was a single repellent item that blocked all boss spawn enemies, as opposed to the specific lore items

but then again, Calming Potions and Peace Candles (and their upgrades), are already kinda that universal solution

crude geode
#

Yeah, true.

#

There becomes a point of too many tools that the player really only needs for the same task

hollow shell
#

This is true

crude geode
#

Oh well, glad I at least brought it up here first

#

@sacred kraken You need a header line.

sacred kraken
#

oh mb

#

do i edit the message or repost it?

crude geode
#

Edit

sacred kraken
#

okay, thank you

crude geode
#

posting has slow mode

#

Np

#

Actually, you’re gonna wanna do more than just the header Bc like

#

This is way too specific

sacred kraken
#

you think i should make it less specific?

dapper coral
#

you're not allowed to suggest specific weapon mechanics like you have

sacred kraken
#

oh alright

crude geode
#

Yeah, it’s in the don’ts

dapper coral
#

saying you want to make it better is fine

#

you just can't be super specific

sacred kraken
#

alright i tried to fix it

crude geode
#

mmmm I wouldn’t describe what you want it to do even tbh. I would just put like the feeling of “make it relate more to it’s ingredients”

#

Cuz that’s the main reasoning of why this sugg is being made, is the vibe I’m getting from it

sacred kraken
#

gotcha

hollow shell
#

Have the Totality explosions not been added yet?

crude geode
#

Totality what

sacred kraken
#

huh?

foggy plover
#

they have, but they arent big like the consecrated water

#

or spent fuel

sacred kraken
#

is that suggestion better now?

hollow shell
sacred kraken
#

well since two of the three main ingredients make a really tall blast, i feel like it should do something similar

#

but that is very different from the breakers i remember

hollow shell
#

Yes, it isn't as big as Consecrated or Spent Fuel, but that's because it's a different kind of weapon
s'not a laid trap like Clinger Staff, or a big bomb nuke

It's supposed to be thrown all over the place like Desecrated or Molotovs

#

(also when was the last time you used breakers)

crude geode
#

(From what I can tell, totality isn’t in changelogs anywhere, so I don’t think that explosion is in anything yet)

sacred kraken
#

few months ago

hollow shell
#

ffs

#

Test in-game before you make a suggestion

#

Why assume that it has never been changed in the months since it's been implemented

sacred kraken
#

well i still think it should be more like the consecrated water, and if that isn't a good idea so be it

hollow shell
#

Go try it in-game first, at the very least

crude geode
#

^

#

Testing is never a bad thing.

foggy plover
#

that explosion is in the game

hollow shell
#

Ye I found it in the source

crude geode
#

Cool, sugg unnecessary then

hollow shell
#

I'll let frost test in-game first then get back to us

crude geode
#

Btw, was anything wrong with noodlechamp’s sugg?

dapper coral
#

iirc there was some debate over what it would actually do

#

idr what the outcome was though

hollow shell
#

One (or two?) people brought up the weirdness of flask consistency and either adding a crystal debuff or not
but that's not the concern of the suggestion cuz that would be Specific

crude geode
#

^

#

(People were really concerned about specifics for a lot of these when like. it’s literally the first thing on the doc.)

#

So is it fine then? Cuz I think it’s reasoning is p good.

hollow shell
#

Sure

crude geode
#

Cool

queen sail
#

I do agree with the notion that TB are somewhat of a letdown

#

Given the theatrical nature of its components

crude geode
#

(Hey Kirby, long time no see)
It’s been updated since release, scroll up and look at the gif

queen sail
#

It may perform better but it doesn’t really

#

Look better

hollow shell
#

Time to enhance it auditorily BanditHueh

queen sail
#

Rover goes to a nuclear testing site

sacred kraken
#

im gonna delete the suggestion but i would still prefer it to be like the consecrated water

queen sail
#

Tbh it’s like

#

Imagine Zenith but instead of the sword we have it’s just another generic beam sword with nothing cool

#

That’s what it feels like making TB

hollow shell
#

well
no

#

Not really

#

Consecrated and Spent Fuel are just one big explosion sprite
Totality has projectiles flying everywhere on top of explosion sprites, the explosions just aren't as big

queen sail
#

2 bombs that leave behind gigantic columns of hitboxes and a bomb that releases homing bubbles become “Better molotovs ig lmao”

#

It feels weird if the upgrades feel inconsistent with the materials

hollow shell
#

(You know Molotovs are an ingredient too, right?)

queen sail
#

Yes, I know

#

But it feels weird to have like, 3 bombs with their own unique effects and the end result is just a modified version of a preboss bomb

sacred kraken
#

it feels like it forgets the consec., desec., and fuel container though

queen sail
#

Like yeah there’s a sprited explosion now but

sacred kraken
#

and takes the molotov and adds a light spin to it

queen sail
#

How does it compare theatrically to its components

#

What makes TB feel like “Yeah, I combined all these flasks into this bad boy”

hollow shell
#

Should the tar home

queen sail
#

Honestly, I’d take parts from each

hollow shell
#

So
Bigger explosions, and homing tar

#

to compare to its ingredients

queen sail
#

Somewhat like that

#

Though I should mention that a new twist to make it stand out would be welcome

crude geode
#

Isn’t that the oiled part of it? Like the tar globs?

hollow shell
#

. _.

crude geode
#

You’re asking a lot of a single weapon that is nowhere near moon lord tbh

queen sail
#

Just as long as it feels like something that would be the end result of throwing 4 bombs in a stew

long ivy
#

Hey, thanks for fully approving my suggestion!

hollow shell
#

np

queen sail
#

Question, rover

hollow shell
#

Speaking of which, how's Chozo's suggestion?

#

Oh, what?

queen sail
#

Why does almost every person who created the sugg become tagged by the sug bot as THE CRYPTID

hollow shell
#

Pardon?

queen sail
void kelp
#

I believe they mean the discord tag <@!>

crude geode
#

Discord can’t handle the pressure iirc

void kelp
#

that’s just the way the bot sees users

hollow shell
#

Yeah that's just Discord limitations

#

Can't parse and render all the user profiles properly

queen sail
#

Ripcord PensiveDoGCowboy

faint needle
#

Huh, for me its just invalid-user

hollow shell
#

If you see the numbers, you can find who it is by doing from:5189328094435 or whatever in the Discord search
and they'll pop up

crude geode
#

Is there a problem with Chozo’s sugg?

queen sail
#

No

hollow shell
#

I don't think so

#

I personally agree with it

crude geode
#

Same

void kelp
unreal viper
#

Thanks for approving my sugg spider.

dapper coral
#

i think the only contests to chozo's sugg was that it was already on the dev's list, but eh nbd

hollow shell
#

It's on the devs' to-do list among
many many other items
s'not a specific priority

radiant meadow
#

mfw people are attacking my totality child

dapper coral
#

idk if it's really necessary tbh

crude geode
#

@ashen warren Header. Also yeah feels unnecessary.

ashen warren
#

ah

dapper coral
#

after all, it would be too easy if you could just craft every one

ashen warren
#

they already let you craft the majority of the materials might as well make all of them craftable (for the cell phone)

hexed spade
#

maybe it could be a thing if the fishing ones aren't craftable

ashen warren
#

maybe

#

because its still easy to farm scourge

#

but like piranhas with weird ass rng

tawny garden
#

Can't parse and render all the user profiles properly
Can't you just do ```js
.setAuthor(message.author.tag, message.author.displayAvatarURL(), '')

or something like that?
#

that doesn't break afaik

dapper coral
#

what did you test that dps on?

#

@harsh latch

#

bc dummies or superdummies don't cut it

harsh latch
#

i used a super dummy with all weapons, but if you would give me an appropiate target, I'd be glad to continue testing

dapper coral
#

seeing as laser machinegun is post-golem, i would say PBG or lunatic cultist would be a good target

harsh latch
#

allright, let me try against something like pbg real quick and I'll be right back

crude geode
#

(Wasn’t this brought up not too long ago)

foggy plover
#

laser machinegun is getting rebalanced next update

dapper coral
#

there was a sugg about lasermachinegun but it was different iirc

sand umbra
#

buff Laser Machinegun

#

please no

foggy plover
#

its getting nerfed actually lol

sand umbra
#

Laser Machinegun is a fucking beast

harsh latch
#

alright, after a very quick test with daedalus armor, butterfly wings, no dmg boosting accessories, all equipment in warding and using the buffs: magic power, rage, wrath, well fed and the crystal ball buff, Laser Machinegun achieved a dps against PBG of around 1200, Same story as Razorpine, while Ion Blaster had a dps of around 2000 when shot on burst of around 2 seconds

crude geode
#

Sounds like Ion Blaster needs a nerf then rly

harsh latch
#

while shpc came behind with around 700

crude geode
#

(SHPC should really not be included)

harsh latch
#

also infernal rift also achieved around 1200 dps

#

while also being obtainable right after skeletron prime

tawny garden
#

that means all weapons of that tier should be ~1200

dapper coral
#

ion blaster def needs a nerf according to this

crude geode
#

uh not really? Infernal Rift and Ion Blaster are post mech.
Razor and Machinegun are post golem.

harsh latch
#

also lazinator is achieving around 1500

#

while being post mech too

dapper coral
#

this is rather peculiar indeed

crude geode
#

That seems...odd.

harsh latch
#

i really don't understand why Laser machinegun's base dmg has been nerfed by a whole 33% in calamity

#

from 60 in vanilla to around 40 in calam

tawny garden
#

HM balacing should be redone in general, I think
I once killed Lunatic Cultist with the Relic of Ruin

#

which is start of hm

crude geode
#

Relic of Ruin is really dumb rn

earnest harness
#

isnt cultist also kinda squishy in general?

tawny garden
#

I've also killed plant and enraged golem joke with it

crude geode
#

Relic of Ruin can carry you past plantera.

tawny garden
harsh latch
#

Ion blaster can easily rip through golem and martian invasion, but I understand that Ion and Apoctosis array are just way too powerful

crude geode
#

Ion and Apoctosis require micromanagement of mana (even more so then usual) tbh so it’s kinda High IQ meme

#

But in general hardmode balance is ech

harsh latch
#

after a quick test, while having 450 max mana, and giving myself inf mana to give a fair fight for both weapons, and firing against a dummy since i just wanted to test quickly, Dark Spark and Apoctosis Array have about the same dps when at full potential

#

that is, max mana for Apoctosis and no mana sickness for Dark Spark

tawny garden
#

micromanagement of mana
?
never worried about mana in my entire life, always played mage

harsh latch
#

you really don't gotta do much to "micromanage" your mana, just fire for 2 seconds, wait for like .5 if you have mana regen

#

boom done

tawny garden
#

oh, that
second nature to me

harsh latch
#

you got a pre plantera weapon dealing bursts of 2000 dps with the added benefits of dealing dmg in area and inflicting brimstone flames

#

also golem is somehow not inmune to brimstone?

#

like, it's literally a rock, how are you gonna burn that

crude geode
#

Yes. For some players, it’s second nature. But people who aren’t born and bred in the books aren’t used to it.

raven moon
#

kinda want to make a kinda weird suggestion but i dont know if its allowed cause the pins are not very specific on it

crude geode
#

How do you apply ichor to sleep prime? How do you apply cursed flames to the twins?

#

What’s the sugg about?

raven moon
#

music boxes

tawny garden
#

what's the idea of them

harsh latch
#

ichor is (probably) a corrosive substance, and cursed flames are, well, cursed

earnest harness
#

just type the draft here my dude worst we can do i say "no lmao"

raven moon
#

suggestion: envoy's of the devourers music boxes are combined into one

harsh latch
#

also in their first phase, the twins are fleshy

raven moon
#

all of them are th smae i thinl

#

the same*

#

think*

dapper coral
#

they're not

raven moon
#

really?

dapper coral
#

they are variations on the same theme

crude geode
#

Sentinels of the Devourer and yes they’re not

raven moon
#

imma do a listen then

dapper coral
#

the beginnings are similar, but after the first phrases then they are radically different

raven moon
#

so that is why

dapper coral
#

yessir

raven moon
#

is the press shift to hold out a torch a calamity thing?

tawny garden
#

no

raven moon
#

ok

wooden wedge
#

it;s vanilla

raven moon
#

o

#

so its a vanilla bug that i see

wooden wedge
#

what?

foggy plover
#

why would that be a bug?

raven moon
#

not the torch part

wooden wedge
#

yeah but what about auto select is broken?

raven moon
#

with most costumes from the halloween bags u just almost "hover" on the ground

#

like no visible movement

wooden wedge
#

what

raven moon
#

yeah

#

normally they move

wooden wedge
#

no I'm asking "what" because those 2 things you're on about seem completely unrelated

#

and what does this have to do with suggs

raven moon
tawny garden
#

If you know that something isn't related to the topic here, don't write it

raven moon
#

i was wondering if it was calamity

wooden wedge
#

if what was calamity????

raven moon
#

cause in that case it would be a bug/forgot to add in animations

tawny garden
#

vanilla bugs don't tho

raven moon
#

I KNOW

wooden wedge
#

seriously

#

what are you on about

tawny garden
#

then why are you writing about it here?

I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS A CALAMITY THING CAUSE IN THAT CASE THEY JUST PROBABLY FORGOT TO ADD ANIMATIONS WITH A TORCH OUT

wooden wedge
#

if what was a calamity thing

tawny garden
#

this channel is for discussing suggestions

#

not bugs

raven moon
#

and i was going to suggest that they add animations if it was a calamity thing...

#

and wanted to make sure that my info was valid as a calamity suggestion

void kelp
#

does that occur in vanilla?

raven moon
#

yeah

#

it looks so weird

void kelp
#

then it’s not a calamity thing...

crude geode
#

If it occurs in vanilla, then it’s not a calamity problem, so you’re fine.

void kelp
#

it’s not even a calamity bug.

#

it’s a vanilla bug.

crude geode

raven moon
#

that is what i asked

Anyways, Hardmode balancing has been a tricky beast for a while now.
-There are some weapons that are really powerful and allow you to breeze through without changing much besides armor and a few weapons here or there (Relic of Ruin, Ion Blaster, Slag Magnum to a degree)
-some weapons that just never get used because there’s just objectively better things (Clam Crusher v Dao of Pow, for example)
-and some that are fine as is (Marrow, Frigidflash Bolt, Most Basic Swords)
It’s just weird in general to me.

Hardmode balancing ech

unkempt bolt
#

my baby relic of ruin best not be touched

#

nobody needs to know about adrenaline bringing brimmy from 50-0 before she even finishes a laser attack

gusty delta
#

idk man

#

sounds like it needs to get massacred to me

harsh latch
#

god, it really pisses me off how useless laser machinegun is right now

gusty delta
harsh latch
#

there's literally no reason to use it in calamity right now

#

after trully removing all my dmg boosts (forgot to remove stimulants), how much base dmg do y'all think laser machinegun has, place your bets everyone

gusty delta
#

600

harsh latch
#

now a real number, as in the number that displays in the weapon info

gusty delta
#

ah

#

48

unkempt bolt
#

45

harsh latch
#

lol nope, it has 36

gusty delta
#

oh

unkempt bolt
#

i was closer gg

harsh latch
#

thirty-fucking-six

#

it has a base dmg of 60 in vanilla, let that sink in

#

also lazinator has a base dmg of 55

#

while having no spin up time and being able to pierce, also being pre plantera

earnest harness
#

36 with stimulants?

harsh latch
#

without

#

with them it's like 39

gusty delta
#

It’d be brutal if it had stims and was 36

harsh latch
#

lemme record a very short video using it against a luiafk dummy with defense set to 55, just so it is kinda similar to what you should expect when fighting PBG in terms of dps

#

here, It'll take a while to send, but just so y'all see

unkempt bolt
#

tbf hitting a dummy is a lot easier than hitting pbg

foggy plover
#

laser machinegun is already getting rebalanced

harsh latch
#

that was the point, removing all not controllable variables, so only the performance of teh weapon itself is the limiting factor

#

the defense is just a way to adjust to the kind of dmg you would be dealing at that point

#

buffs used were magic power, rage, wrath, well fed+AS lore, stimulants and crystal ball

#

it'll take about 5 minutes to send cause my internet is HahaYes

earnest harness
#

didn't you also say lmg was getting nerfed again though

foggy plover
#

it is

dapper coral
#

this is trying to contest the future nerf so i think it's alright

#

if it was arguing for a nerf then it would be pointless

harsh latch
#

yea, why would you nerf it even further, when it can't even compete with some pre plantera weapons

#

This is no objective proof of anything, since this is not a combat situation, but it should be good enough to give you an idea of just how underpowered the Laser Machinegun is

wooden wedge
#

try against something other than a super dummy

#

at least the one from luiafk

#

that one is kinda wack

foggy plover
#

why the hell

harsh latch
#

I had set its defense to 55 to simulate the dmg resistance you'd find at that point

foggy plover
#

are you testing a post golem weapon on a dummy with pre mech boss gear

#

??

harsh latch
#

i sequence skipped, and fought golem right after skele

wooden wedge
#

bruhface

harsh latch
#

which just serves to prove just how underpowered it is, when a weapon available right after defeating skeleprime, and one you get from the frost moon both surpass a post golem weapon

foggy plover
#

im trying to get ion messed with as well

#

cuz its hella strong

#

even if you have to be like

harsh latch
#

like, ion is obviously busted if you know what you're doing

foggy plover
#

a bit managing with your mana lol

queen sail
#

Laser machinegun being nerfed is

#

Very weird

harsh latch
#

but that does not mean that laser machinegun has to be literally useless

queen sail
#

Especially since it’s just razorpine but without gravity affecting the projectiles

harsh latch
#

it has already had its dmg nerfed from 60 in vanilla to 36 in calamity

queen sail
#

Also doesn’t this, like

harsh latch
#

why nerf it even further beyond, it just escapes my comprehension

queen sail
#

Eat the shit out of your mana

foggy plover
#

machinegun got 5k dps like last update I think

#

with like, mildly glass cannon gear

#

and using it is pretty braindead

#

with mana flower

harsh latch
#

if machinegun can get 5k with glass cannon gear, that means that lazinator can too, and has perfect accuracy, as well as piercing

#

also no spinup time

#

lemme remind you that lazinator has 55 base dmg

dapper coral
#

this is not a bad idea

#

i wonder how long it would take to implement though

#

although at the same time, it seems spawn animations are gonna start to become a thing, maybe

#

so if so, then this would be a good place to start

unreal viper
#

You used infinite mana w ion blaster in your video, which make the showing less accurate because ion blaster scales hard with max mana.

#

That's just a minor criticism though, I still agree with the suggestion.

harsh latch
#

if you use it in small bursts of 2 seconds with mana regen potions, you get almost the same results, which are still higher than LMG's

unreal viper
#

Also, add the all of the dps values from the video to your suggestion.

harsh latch
#

i can't really do that, since these are not "real values", this is just a quick test made to show a general idea of its performace

#

the values i gave in the explanation tho are real, and tested agaisnt pbg

hollow shell
#

This sugg should be fine cuz it's a bluecheck

#

of... a pretty recent suggestion

#

I'm wondering if that's too recent, even

dapper coral
#

oh i missed that

#

i mean, if that one's been approved then no point in posting it again straight away right

#

aren't approved sugg repost times like 3 months or something

hollow shell
#

I don't recall any solid ruling like that

dapper coral
#

oh

#

maybe that's the bluecheck timer then, i get them mixed up

#

anyway what should i do with it then? should i wait to see if Philo's gets implemented first?

hollow shell
#

Prolly yeah better should wait a bit
Let's say 2 weeks or whenever this next update releases, whichever comes first

dapper coral
#

okey doke, i'll save it for a later date then

#

thanks

hollow shell
#

np I guess
There's no rule or anything anywhere against somebody else reposting a delivered suggestion shortly after it gets delivered
a bluecheck minimum date, if you will

s'just my own inclination

dapper coral
#

i trust your inclination more than mine, so that's fine by me

hollow shell
#

aight, lol

rose latch
#

Reduce the sell price of Plague Cell Canisters
Plague cell canisters sell for a gold coin each. For a somewhat common crafting material, 1 gold is an insane price. You could get a ridiculous amount of platinum from just farming the post golem jungle and selling the materials you gain.

#

thoughts?

hollow shell
#

Damn, that is pretty high

earnest harness
#

aren't sell prices based on rarity and nothing else

hollow shell
#

For weapons they are

#

Scoria Bars also sell for a little over 1 gold
(+20 silver)

But those are harder to obtain than Plague Cell Canisters

dapper coral
#

also astral bars sell for 1 gold 20 silver which is wild

#

considering you only need 162 bars to craft the whole lot, which is about half a meteor's worth

void kelp
#

however astral ore is a bit on the hard side to attain so that’s more reasonable

dapper coral
#

i guess

#

actually that stat isn't on the wiki yet so time to go add it

violet dagger
#

not if you have vein miner

#

"noooooo you can't just mine all the ore in one click" vein miner go click

dapper coral
#

well spider means in general, like it's much harder to get astral ore than, say, perennial or uelibloom ore

#

bc it only spawns in meteor form

violet dagger
#

well there are slimes for it

#

I believe

#

it can drop from astral mobs

#

yup it drops from astral slimes

dapper coral
#

ah yes

#

well still, there's those for other ores as well

violet dagger
#

vein mining auric ore is satisfying

dapper coral
#

bit offtopic now i think

violet dagger
#

ye

dapper coral
#

are there any regenerating bosses atm? besides clone, ML and yharon

#

bc i think that's kinda cool

unkempt bolt
#

providence

placid cloak
#

providence's healer heals her

#

clone just rejuvinates herself, not really healing

dapper coral
#

yeah

unkempt bolt
#

yharon's the only boss to my knowledge that actually regenerates health by itself

placid cloak
#

it seems more like a rejuvination anyway, beacuse it only happens when he's near death

dapper coral
#

and even then it doesn't really count, yeah

#

bc its just a phase counter

#

so i think a properly regenerating boss would be pretty tight

unkempt bolt
#

only issue i could see with giving ravager regen is that like

#

it might be kinda pointless?

#

like with provi's healing, even if you leave the healer alive the entire fight, it doesn't make that much of a difference

placid cloak
#

then whats up with all the health-related items that it drops

unkempt bolt
#

or on the other side of the coin it could just be really annoying if given too much regen

placid cloak
#

imean, providence's healer can slow down the fight a lot if you leave it alone, so your weapons would only do an effectivee 5% every minute

unkempt bolt
#

ravager's the kind of boss that you're pretty much hitting all the time, so i don't think a regen effect would be noticeable at all

dapper coral
#

maybe instead what could happen is that ravager begins to slowly regain its body parts in p2

placid cloak
#

hmm interesting

#

if he regenerates his legs then the sparks stop then

unkempt bolt
#

kinda like how skeletron regains his arms in rev

#

could be interesting

placid cloak
#

wait

unkempt bolt
#

it's not like ravager is a boss that would mind some increased difficulty lul

placid cloak
#

when skeletron regens his arms do the skulls stop

unkempt bolt
#

uhhh

#

i dont think so?

dapper coral
#

i don't believe so

placid cloak
#

ok

unkempt bolt
#

oh huh i didn't know the purple thing he leaves to indicate where he's teleporting actually does damage

#

neat

dapper coral
#

actually do you have to destroy all body parts before p2 happens for ravager?

#

or is it just the head

unkempt bolt
#

all parts

placid cloak
#

"Once all of the Ravager's body parts have been reduced to 0 HP, the body becomes vulnerable"

dapper coral
#

oh okay, then this does actually work out

#

i thought it might have been like golem where its just the head

placid cloak
#

maybe the body enters states that regens like 1/16 of health

#

in second phase

dapper coral
#

ye

violet dagger
#

I think maybe it could be a revengeance only feature that in the second phase he regens some of his parts in the second phase

#

that would add a new challenge

#

and make the fight more interesting than golem

radiant meadow
#

Regenerating limbs could work

wide flicker
#

That is a neat concept actually

gray nebula
#

@fiery vessel boss suggestions arent allowed

onyx river
#

Soo this is 2 don'ts at the same time being future content and boss sugg

gray nebula
#

and you already have boss rush as a celebration of your journey

fiery vessel
#

Oh.

#

I did not know this

#

Ok then.

onyx river
fiery vessel
#

Did not see that it said to look at that pin too. Sorry.

#

I will delete my suggestion

hollow idol
#

give her something unique
So, being in his own motherland can make him much stronger

exotic ibex
#

Her - fight

#

Make a fight unique

#

Scourge is a male or something else?

#

Well, okay

hollow idol
#

aquatic boss battle in prehardmode especially a worm one doesnt sound that pleasant

onyx river
#

if you're talking about the fight i think the right pronoun would be it

exotic ibex
#

It's maybe correct for now

#

Fixed it

onyx river
#

Ye i think it is

exotic ibex
#

And yea flipper potion

#

And siren's heart

hollow idol
exotic ibex
#

Well, i think, that it is not very important

onyx river
#

And you'd still be able to fight it on the surface if i understand the sugg corectly

exotic ibex
#

Yea

#

Of course

#

It's like a providence battle

hollow idol
#

I dunno, seems kinda big

#

how much would he change?

exotic ibex
#

Um, maybe more interesting attacks?

#

Relative to water

hollow idol
#

at a certain point its basically just a new boss

#

and boss sugs are no

exotic ibex
#

No

#

As i already said

#

This is like a providence battle

#

You can battle her in two different biomes

hollow idol
#

provi literally only changes one new attack ech

#

and nothing else changes

exotic ibex
#

And for each she has exclusive drop

onyx river
#

The only concern i have is the fact that it wouldn't really make sense for him to be dried if he went into water but then it would just be aquatic scourge 2 electric boogaloo

exotic ibex
#

But by lore aquatic scourge is an absolutely different creature

onyx river
#

No

exotic ibex
#

Yes, it says that before some yharim jokes they were pretty identical

#

But not for now

#

Two different places, and two different situations

onyx river
#

They are technically the same species, one was mutated and the other was dried, but still the same species

exotic ibex
#

But aquatic scourge was exiled

#

And desert scourge still defend his land

#

Which a desert for now

dry latch
#

calamity doesn't really need more worm boss fights imho

hollow idol
#

when did the lore say ds defended

exotic ibex
#

But it's not a new boss

dry latch
#

boss fights not bosses kek

#

the devs have already explored everything you can do with worms

exotic ibex
#

Well, even if it's not defeat his land, he's just not exiled

#

Like aquatic scourge

#

Um

hollow idol
#

Pretty sure another worm boss is coming cough exo mechs

prime creek
#

worm mod worm mod

onyx river
#

Will they be full bossfights tho

exotic ibex
#

Mods don't need to have bosses at all

dry latch
#

we have sand worm, corruption worm, crimson worm, metal worm, acid worm, star worm, sky worm, god worm and jared

exotic ibex
#

The point that's just why not to make it possible

#

Calamity known for its plenty of bosses their fights

#

So why not lol

#

And there's just illogical moment

#

About desert scourge

#

That we for some reason can't fight him in his own home

crude geode
#

I mean. You can though.

#

It’s called Aquatic Scourge.

onyx river
#

Aquatic scourge was mutated

crude geode
#

That’s true, but if we wanted a pure version of Scourge worm, that would mean the third fight with similar mechanics/summons.

onyx river
#

I mean like he said it could be just DS but with a changed attack or 2

crude geode
#

It just really doesn’t make sense to work on especially with exo mechs around the corner likely bringing at least 1 worm
That’s not what this suggestion wants though.

#

Realistically, it wants another version of the scourge fight that’s a “rematch of Desert Scourge”, when boss rush and Aquatic exist

onyx river
#

Ye but it doesn't make much more sense lorewise for desert scourge to stay in the desert instead of going into what remains of the actual ocean he was in which is the sunken sea

crude geode
#

iirc that was actually explained somewhere, just can’t remember where

onyx river
#

Oh ok

crude geode
#

also, having desert scourge, a very angry boy who can’t find any food, getting into the Sunken Sea would really go against what the Sunken Sea is rn. It’s a calm and peaceful area, and having some “Sunken” Scourge tunneling through it and murdering things would...kind of just ruin the atmosphere and whole mood of the place.

onyx river
#

Ye but would he be a really angry boy with no food if he went into the sunken sea

crude geode
#

Yes. At least for the initial moments of re-entry, which is when you would be summoning him. It would go into a feeding frenzy that completely goes against the chill vibes only mood of Sunken Sea.

cunning pewter
#

Nvm bad feedback

exotic ibex
#

Chill sunken sea isn't exist

#

Only with calm candle

crude geode
#

????

exotic ibex
#

A plenty of sea serpents and giant clams already ruins vibe in sunken sea

frail mantle
#

Clams only attack when you do

crude geode
#

Nothing actively attacks you until hm, you have to go out of your way to fight things.

frail mantle
#

Serpents are bugged and will be fixed next update

exotic ibex
#

Ok, sea serpents instantly aggresive

crude geode
#

What Dab said

exotic ibex
#

But how would desert scourge kill his own homemates?

#

It's really strange

crude geode
#

Tbfh

#

even if you made it so the sunken sea scourge spawned like Aquatic...you’re basically just copy and pasting it then.

exotic ibex
#

But it's illogical, as i already said

#

It is his own home

crude geode
#

Not really anymore

exotic ibex
#

Invasion of him one only Calamitas made him go on rampage

crude geode
#

Scourge has changed. Either due a lack of food, or sulphurous mutation.

#

It’s unlikely that we’ll ever see what a normal scourge looks like, mainly because it means adding in calamity’s sixth unique worm boss. Also, you have yet to explain how this rematch would not heavily go against the theme of Sunken Sea.

exotic ibex
#

And it is necessary?

#

I don't think so

crude geode
#

I mean, yes?

frail mantle
#

You should still address it in your sugg

crude geode
#

I specifically brought up the point of Sunken Sea’s theme and vibe because this boss fight would still heavily go against it, and it’s something the sugg doesn’t consider at all currently.

exotic ibex
#

Not every place should be absolutely chill

frail mantle
#

You are correct

#

But SS is one place that should be chill

crude geode
#

^

exotic ibex
#

Hm

crude geode
#

It’s unique, and in a really good way.

exotic ibex
#

What would be, if sunken sea appeared after some boss on surface again?

#

Or spread up again

crude geode
#

...Sunken Sea on the Surface just sounds weird

exotic ibex
#

Um

#

More strange sounds that it is underground

#

Lmao

#

Because of "Sea" word

frail mantle
#

Why

crude geode
#

Literally, at a lower level then the desert/surface of the world.

exotic ibex
#

It's more like fountainhead, not sea

#

In the underground

crude geode
#

This suggestion is growing bigger and bigger the more you try to justify it.

exotic ibex
#

I doesn't edit it at all

#

I'm just justifying it

#

And it is fair

#

By the way, you can make sunken sea on the surface

frail mantle
#

You can indeed

crude geode
#

And why does this matter?

exotic ibex
#

You can just make another vibe place

cunning pewter
#

what s the suggestion happening?

exotic ibex
#

Last

#

In posting

cunning pewter
#

and what's this about the definition of sunken

exotic ibex
#

Same thing with Sulphuric Sea and Brimstone Crag

#

Because it is motherland of DS

crude geode
#

What would be, if sunken sea appeared after some boss on surface again?
because memespower brought up bringing the sunken sea above ground, which kind of goes against it’s name to me.

cunning pewter
#

it would change to somethin gdifferent

#

the name

#

if it were to restore

#

to its original state

crude geode
#

My question is.

cunning pewter
#

which probably will never happen

crude geode
#

Why do we need any of this?

cunning pewter
#

cuz u need a desert in ur world

exotic ibex
#

You can make it not only on surface

crude geode
#

What purpose does this suggestion serve other than to be cool?

cunning pewter
#

i can kinda agree with the fact that the sunken sea isnt really used much

#

but it would be inconvienient to have a large boss fight there

exotic ibex
#

I already said the point in suggestion

#

Because IT IS a home of DS and being in it WOULD make it much stronger

#

It is just illogical

#

That we can't fight him there

crude geode
#

That’s true. But it’s not like you’re ever gonna bring DS down there, and there’s no real purpose to having the fight, other than lore and “it would be cool rematch”

frail mantle
#

yes, but aside from it making sense, what would the mod gain from a DS rematch?

crude geode
#

^^^

exotic ibex
#

Because it is a very easy boss

frail mantle
#

because it's the second boss in the game

crude geode
exotic ibex
#

Ravager has a buff after provi

frail mantle
#

it

crude geode
#

DS is one of the first bosses in the game.

frail mantle
#

fucking hell why do i press enter so early

#

it's Calamity's tutorial boss

crude geode
#

There’s a don’t about this
(Oof providab)

exotic ibex
#

But we can give him a chance

cunning pewter
#

it just seems like too much of a hassle to implement

#

and although i see ur point

#

would u really fight him down in the SS

crude geode
exotic ibex
#

I doesn't said buff

#

I said another boss fight

frail mantle
#

another boss fight is also a don't

crude geode
#

^

cunning pewter
#

we have the aquatic scourge for a reason

#

it's essentially a harder version

frail mantle
#

yea

exotic ibex
#

Since this is a tutorial for now, why not to make after some progression a challenge

cunning pewter
#

with new mechanics

#

but the same idea

crude geode
#

Bc. Aquatic Scourge exists.

#

Like Rexe said.

exotic ibex
#

Yes, this is roughly a buffed DS

#

But why not to make a clearly buffed DS?

frail mantle
#

i mean the connection between AS and DS is pretty clear

crude geode
#

(It would essentially be a future boss then, and those were despised by the community.)

frail mantle
#

similar theme, similar name, similar drops, similar attacks

crude geode
#

^

cunning pewter
#
  • cuz it isnt really worth it for the devs
  • it's meant to be an easy boss and should be easy for newer players
    -would you actually fight it in that small tight space
  • Aquatic scourge is essentially what you are talking about but it is the Sulphourus sea
crude geode
#

They both have scourge at the end of their titles, and are worm bosses.

cunning pewter
#

The only thing that would be good is if the sunken sea got more to do later in the game

exotic ibex
#

I really would fight him in the water lol

#

But, well, ok

cunning pewter
#

imagine fighting the destroyer but in a tight place in the cavern layer

#

and there is water

crude geode
#

^

cunning pewter
#

so u can drown and get slowed down

exotic ibex
#

Um

#

Gills

#

And flippery

#

Potions

#

Exist

cunning pewter
#

still it's just inconvienient and too much work to make for such little new things

earnest harness
#

is there an actual gameplay reason for your suggestion outside of "it would be cool and lore"

#

like what is missing that this would add

crude geode
#

Supposedly

#

Progression and mastery to the fight

exotic ibex
#

We can meet him again later in progression so that he makes a rematch compared to the first battle

crude geode
#

But Aquatic Scourge’s existence nullifies that

#

Hey, you know what also does that memes?

#

Boss Rush

cunning pewter
#

yea but its like having to fight ravager and calamitas and brimstone elemental for those bloodstones

#

and yea boss rush

#

except boss rush is post-scal

exotic ibex
#

Uh

#

That's really hard to justify

frail mantle
#

what do you mean

crude geode
#

^

exotic ibex
#

My sugg

#

Doesn't have a real point in your meaning

#

So ok

crude geode
#

Yeah, specific sugg additions usually don’t have meaning other then “cool”.

#

I think we’re done here now at least

#

So I’m comfy and gonna head off

cunning pewter
#

cool

crude geode
void kelp
#

that’s the vote outcome

worn blaze

Why are all the sugg's headers not bold? Is that an error on my end or was something changed?

ashen warren

i think that @ashen warren 's idea about DoG is good

ashen warren
#

Yeah its not importent for gameplay, I just like details

ashen warren
#

what does it mean in the suggestions 'dos and dont's' when it sas a 'shouldn't

#

i mean a harim themed event would be cool af

wooden wedge
#

It's the same as a don't iirc

frail mantle
#

iirc it's more of a "you can suggest it but you shouldn't cause it most likely won't be approved"

royal turtle
#

dumb idea

#

astral slush

#

there's already astral silt and astral fossil

#

i have an astral ice biome so i noticed this thing

wooden wedge
#

I thought this was sugged before

royal turtle
#

possibly

#

i didn't check

#

it's technically a single item suggestion so i didn't think it was actually a good idea

dapper coral
#

ben suggested it in december 2019

#

so you could do it again

jovial spire
#

ye

dapper coral
#

jk it got implemented apparently

#

although it is slightly different to yours, apparently slush should just not exist anymore once it gets converted to astral

#

also congrats on modship celest

jovial spire
#

ty

#

Also huh, never realized that it got changed. My astral doesnt fall in in snow biome much, so I never gave a thought about it

#

Plus, unless you're summoner, not much of a reason to go down there

#

So I never really went down there when it did land in snow

violet dagger
#

waiting for my idea to make it to the mod server now

dapper coral
#

ok

violet dagger
#

the dog portal idea is pretty cool

#

also he gets yet another change

raven moon
#

Also huh, never realized that it got changed. My astral doesnt fall in in snow biome much, so I never gave a thought about it
all of my astral biomes were in the snow

dapper coral
#

are there issues with PHAT's or EvilGCT's suggs? they gonna go in 15 minutes and 50 minutes respectively, so

void kelp
#

let me look at them, thanks for mentioning it

#

yeah both are good to go; thank you again for mentioning them

#

would’ve been deleted and nobody would’ve known

dapper coral
#

glad i could help

smoky wagon
#

yeah i tested the laser machinegun for a bit and i also found it overnerfed

#

not sure who thought -40% damage wouldnt make it garbage item

ashen warren
#

Ravager regenerative abilities.

#

hoooo boy

void kelp
#

it sounds fun c:

ashen warren
#

i think it would need a significant level of regen to actually matter and that would make it very interesting

placid cloak
#

I mentioned it

#

should be a good change

ashen warren
#

I'm always open for a challenge

dapper coral
#

yeah it would be pretty awesome

#

and ben said regenerating body parts was doable as well

hollow shell
#

It could make for an interesting fight if it's done right

dapper coral
#

so then we could leave it up to devs as to how much regen he gets

ashen warren
#

When you hit him really really hard in the faces, he dies before he can heal to much

#

But yes its a good idea

#

I would like it

hollow shell
#

I'm imagining that after breaking the limbs, they can later attempt to regenerate, and it's like a globby mess with not a lot of HP that doesn't do anything, but when it fully regens it's the whole limb again

so you can see it coming and act to destroy it before it becomes a problem

#

Thas just my big idea tho

dapper coral
#

yeah that could def work

void kelp
#

time to give it votes so dev server has it and iban can sprite it

ashen warren
#

they can fly back to the body and then they combine again

dapper coral
#

or maybe it's like a set timer where a random body part shows up every X seconds with Y hp, and then you have to take it out again and again

#

idk

#

anyway, very good sugg

harsh latch
#

hey, what if y'all made ravager so it wouldn't hit as hard, but instead it regens its limbs every 30 seconds after all limbs have been defeated?

#

or something like that, idk much bout balancing

hollow shell
#

@tall galleon You need a reason for all of those
And it's not recommended to put more than one suggestion in one message (i.e. more than one potion)

tall galleon
#

Oh

#

Haha thought it was more casual than that

placid cloak
#

wait whats the threshold for votes in order for an idea to be considered for the devs

hollow shell
#

Nah this system's gotten somewhat official over time

tall galleon
#

If people want content added then why not

dapper coral
#

170

hollow shell
#

170

tall galleon
#

Lol

placid cloak
#

ok

dapper coral
#

isn't there an accessory that does the reflect projectiles thing

placid cloak
#

im looking at the votes and looks like not a lot of ideas are going out

hollow shell
#

We got a lot of suggestions every day, Squid
In two weeks we get over a hundred, almost two hundred

#

So, we can't consider everyone's ideas just cuz they're thrown out there

so we've got this official system of posting and delivery to the devs

placid cloak
#

well, calamity needs a period to cool down and see if things are running smoothly without any updates

hollow shell
#

Delivery's not automatic so it'll take a little bit for a sugg with stars over 170 to get sent

placid cloak
#

@ demik gael's greatsword and mirror blade can reflect projectiles

tall galleon
#

Yeah well

hollow shell
#

Technically not with Mirror Blade

#

It's uhhh
Arcanum of the Void

#

that can reflect

tall galleon
#

Not everyone wants to hold those

placid cloak
#

oh my bad

#

gael's greatsword is op

hollow shell
#

and iirc Daedalus Armor?

civic pond
#

uh

ashen warren
#

Sadly many people are thinking when you bother the devs by posting their idea a hundred times at one day, that they get to them. I dont like these people

hollow shell
#

Luckily we don't get many of those in the suggestion channels

#

Pretty rare actually

tall galleon
#

I like ur suggestion doria

ashen warren
#

Mine isnt in the voting at the moment and I'm fine with it.

#

thanks

tall galleon
#

Haha

ashen warren
#

oh thats good

dapper coral
#

that being said, there's an hour until it gets yeeted to the void

placid cloak
#

lol

hollow shell
#

Yeah I'm wondering if it needs to be improved or not

It does mention Providence's spawn animation, which isn't in-game yet, but at least not in the main line and it doesn't pertain directly to Prov's spawn animation

placid cloak
#

is nighttime providence in-game yet

hollow shell
#

Nah

#

Next update.

placid cloak
#

big update

ashen warren
#

I'm excited to fight her new battle

placid cloak
#

its like Empress of Light but 100 times stronger

hollow shell
#

so, daytime Empress of Light

ashen warren
#

Oh should try to train my dodges

dapper coral
#

i mean, update is probably coming very soon judging by how many changes fabsol's added to #changelogs in the past few days

#

i think it's alright personally

hollow shell
#

The difference between most of the remaining items and the recipes we currently have
is that Hermes Boots and Magic Mirror are way more important than Flare Gun and Enchanted Boomerang, for everybody

#

I agree that Band of Regeneration could have a recipe though

dapper coral
#

flare gun is important for firestorm

proud parcel
#

For ranged users, flare guns are an ingredient for 2 early weapons

hollow shell
#

yeah but that's just ranger

dapper coral
#

byeah those other items are for everyone

ashen warren
#

Yeah

#

I got once a world where I got the band on post ML

hollow shell
#

The suggestion seems valid yeah I just wanted to mention that it ain't as necessary that those things get recipes versus the current ones

dapper coral
#

i always found it very strange that shoe spikes has no recipe while climbing claws do

hollow shell
#

Is that so

agile cloud
#

wait really?

ashen warren
#

I didnt know

agile cloud
#

i thought neither did

hollow shell
#

Doesn't seem like climbing claws have a recipe?

proud parcel
#

Though I do admit, most items I don't personally see as necessary, but I decided to do more than flare gun for consistency. In my current ranged playthrough I went through 50ish gold chests without a flare gun which is what led to me being annoyed enough to suggest this

hollow shell
#

Makes sense

proud parcel
#

Also, as a counter example, there is a crafting recipe for star fury when only melee people use it, and when it drops from cosmic elemental

crude geode
#

Most vanilla recipes come because of the fact that Calamity requires it for some weapons later on/it’s SO important that you don’t want to not have it, so yeah flare gun makes sense.

proud parcel
#

Yee, flare gun also is used for 2 weapons as well

crude geode
#

Unless I’m remembering wrong, I don’t believe spear is crafted into anything

hollow shell
#

Indeed, quite true

#

and yeah I don't think Spear's ever needed

dapper coral
#

huh i am a dumbass, i must be thinking of some other QoL mod then

ashen warren
#

Yes the spear is in my opinion a little bit too useless

proud parcel
#

It can be nice early on though, especially if you happen to find it instantly

crude geode
#

Yeah, but that’s for if you find it.

#

Adding a recipe isn’t really necessary

proud parcel
#

So if it's given a recipe of say 5 iron, similar to aglet or radar, it might see more use

dapper coral
#

but at what point does it become useful if you can craft it?

tall galleon
#

I need flamarang

#

So

ashen warren
#

I got a Wulfrum sword after 5 minutes

dapper coral
#

what kind of recipe would balance out the need for the spear

proud parcel
#

Zenith spear

crude geode
#

Aglet and radar are craftable easily because their uses are minor, but are used later on for cellphone and are pain to find

ashen warren
#

There could be something like the Wand which requires the spark staff

tall galleon
#

Maybe add the traveling merchant craftable stuff

proud parcel
#

I know why aglet and radar have recipes, I'm suggesting this for consistency with other items

#

Also aglet and radar already had another method of acquisition, wooden fishing crates

tall galleon
#

If there is a useful one that isn’t craftable

crude geode
#

Traveling Merchant’s existence causes me great pain and suffering.

proud parcel
#

The thing is, the merchant can always come again with new stuff, but it is possible for items found exclusively in chests to just not exist in a world

crude geode
#

It’s completely random, and used for quite a few things, such as cellphone gear, celestial magnet, and tiger skin

hollow shell
#

Travelling Merchant is indeed a bit of a bastard

ashen warren
#

The traveling merchant hates me, I never got a katana for the omniblade until my 5th playthrough

crude geode
#

That’s the thing. Traveling Merchant can come. He can hit that 1/5 chance.

hollow shell
#

I'm personally not too fond of just adding recipes for everything because that kinda discourages people going out into the world to find stuff, and it's... boring
Like if we can come up with more creative solutions, we should

Unfortunately that's more likely to occur on the dev end for specificity worries

crude geode
#

^

dapper coral
#

traveling merchant + cosmolight resets the shop doesn't it?

crude geode
#

Unsure.

proud parcel
#

Hmm, I'm not sure how to modify this to encourage exploration

dapper coral
#

at least, it allows the frost barrier to be sold

ashen warren
#

Oh I never thought about that

crude geode
#

It doesn’t if you keep him locked up in a box and wait for the next day.

#

I don’t think it resets his inventory

dapper coral
#

so i would assume that it changes the rest of the shop as well

crude geode
#

Frost Barrier is based on the moon phase, iirc

#

Not just you randomly getting it.

dapper coral
#

right, but moon phase changes with cosmolight

crude geode
#

Yes.

dapper coral
#

so the question is, does it change the rest of the shop as well

proud parcel
#

Then again, the main items that would incentivize people to explore have crafting recipes already, so it shouldn't matter too much if the niche items also get crafting recipes, right? @hollow shell

crude geode
#

His inventory does not.

dapper coral
#

ah, well then yeah crafting recipes may be warranted

hollow shell
#

I'm also talking about the recipes we currently have

proud parcel
#

Ahh

hollow shell
#

That's just my personal distaste
Again, I think your sugg's fine

proud parcel
#

Ok, thanks

#

Hmm, what could encourage exploration while also preventing being RNG-locked?

#

Maybe if gold chests were included in the recipe (not that it makes physical sense)
