ashen warren
#

if they consider it

#

IF

weak field
#

This just feels too cheap

ashen warren
#

but, it is a rare drop

weak field
#

You can always farm king slime

#

Or even arma DS, as many people do that already

rose jewel
#

maybe just say a high damaging item that damages you a lot also

hollow shell
#

Well as far as the information contained in this sugg now is concerned, there is no specification on how it's obtained

#

The important and only aspect is that it exists at all

ashen warren
#

that makes sense

hollow shell
#

(which is fine)

weak field
#

Eh it's more of a "I suck but I still want the good loot" button

rose jewel
#

Maybe like something that does a percent of the bosses health but costs like 50 health idk

weak field
#

You play rev for challenges, so turn off rev if you're getting rekt

ashen warren
#

._.

weak field
#

Nothing personal here btw

ashen warren
#

providence gave me ptsd in normal mode

weak field
#

oh

fossil finch
#

What

ashen warren
#

that skull looks half melted

hollow shell
#

yeah iunno what's up with this emote

ashen warren
#

like if a pumpkin has a skull

tawny garden
#

it's just

hollow shell
#

I just use it to indicate sarcasm/silliness

heady storm
#

Danny's beloved creation.

tawny garden
#

no, Tymon created CompleteFailure

ashen warren
#

i thought it meant a big oof so big death happens

weak field
#

I use it to indicate an indescribable feeling

ashen warren
#

cringe

#

maybe?

heady storm
#

Well yeah, he also considers HD his creation.

hollow shell
#

It's kind of an oof

#

Its got many purposes

ashen warren
#

cringe debuff

weak field
#

Like, "ok I guess"

#

That's what I use it for

heady storm
#

It expresses more than one emotion.

weak field
#

Yeah

#

So it fits perfectly for many situations

ashen warren
#

imagine a cringe debuff that is purely cosmetic and character's faces

hollow shell
#

aight anyway
Sorry to hear Prov gave you trouble in Normal

weak field
#

^

tawny garden
#

this converation rapidly derailed

violet dagger
#

no matter what, we still need :LETSFUCKINGOOOOOOOOO:

weak field
#

Gen talk is infecting the rest of the channel

ashen warren
#

is this obese plague bringer goliath?

tawny garden
#

(keep this channel to suggs please)

heady storm
#

^

ashen warren
#

i suggest this emote has less discrimination

tawny garden
#

((damn, I'm minimodding))

hollow shell
#

#general-talk would be fitting if you wanna talk about emotes and stuff

violet dagger
#

if this next sugg is a thing lower their health so it isnt basically a stat bloat but once half is gone the other goes angry

tawny garden
cobalt pewter
#

To be honest just one split worm would be too easy

#

And just ends up as boring

#

That's why I said empowered (or, heck, enraged) to make the fight overall more interesting

unreal viper
#

Any thoughts on my sugg?

hollow shell
#

You should clarify that by "recovery" you mean a cooldown
edit: @unreal viper

#

I was confused and thought of a few different meanings before I understood what you meant

#

Also, more line breaks in your sugg would help
It's a wall of text

#

boo, homing

violet dagger
#

auto aiming is better

cobalt pewter
#

ech

violet dagger
#

perfect timing

tawny garden
#

~~what are you on about, homing is hellyes ~~

hollow shell
#

git gud, homing is low skill

violet dagger
tawny garden
#

shhh
it's the only way I can play

hollow shell
#

Anyway @ashen warren are you fine with this suggestion?

#

(can't remember if we pinged you about Apoth suggs before)

#

(or, if you would prefer us to do so or not to do so)

violet dagger
#

ples dont tell me he's out nerfing ranger or making emode things take you to brazil HyperFailure

ashen warren
#

what sug

violet dagger
#

latest one

hollow shell
cobalt pewter
#

Emode queen bee now yeets you to brazil

ashen warren
#

oh

cobalt pewter
ashen warren
#

yeah make it homing

cobalt pewter
#

Pog

ashen warren
#

cringe weapon

#

bad

hollow shell
#

aight cool, got approval

ashen warren
tawny garden
#

yey

ashen warren
#

why does ssv upgrade into this child

#

make it fuck shit op

violet dagger
#

reminder that ssv is bad now :sadcat:

ashen warren
#

fuck the skill based gimmick

hollow shell
#

aight lol

#

Balance is a different concern but if you want it to be a 0 braincell weapon then that's fine

cobalt pewter
#

ssv is cring now

ashen warren
#

just give it razorback typhoob style homing

tawny garden
#

or if you're sarcastic, tell us

ashen warren
#

so it spins around enemies at light speed

cobalt pewter
#

Oh boy love me some spinning dog head

violet dagger
#

yes

cobalt pewter
tawny garden
#

fuck the skill based gimmick
wait, you need skill for it rn?

violet dagger
#

yes

#

to dodge projectiles

#

from the lag

tawny garden
#

oh

#

I had no lag

#

I was using this weapon as an advanced disco ball

gusty geode
#

Regarding the ore armor thing

#

Or you could just
Take your time

#

Like, any underground cabin chest is guaranteed to have some pre-boss bars in it from what I can tell, those are all over the place
The ore itself is a lot more common than you make it out to be, I usually find more than ik what to do with pretty quickly
And they're also a really common drop from fishing, if all else fails
You have a point on other armors being better, but I wouldn't say ore armor is hard to get by any means

#

You've just gotta actually take the time to look
Rather than the materials coming to you instead with stuff like Wulfrum

sand umbra
#

counterpoint: it takes 180 ore, spread over 60 bars, to craft the lowest tier (Tin/Copper) which gives you basically the same defense as Wood (+ some mining speed I guess with Cal)

#

and it just gets worse adding up to a mighty 360 ore over 90 bars for Gold/Platinum

tawny garden
#

I've tried to make platinum ore before
I went insane

cobalt pewter
#

Research mod is poggers

tawny garden
#

story of how I ended up being this dumb

ashen warren
#

Pre-boss metal armors are kinda meh imo

tawny garden
#

correct

ashen warren
#

Mainly due to the same fact of how costly they are-

#

granted some of them look pretty cool as vanity but I usually go for either a piece or two or a different set altogether before post EoW/BoC armor calWheeze

unreal viper
#

You can also just get victide if you wanna.

#

Speaking of ore armors, time to add my final sugg to the series.

sand umbra
#

oh yeah, remind me to repasta my various evil suggs once the star req officially drops

violet dagger
#

wont it be affected by the drop tho

sand umbra
#

none of them reached 200, I can tell you that much HDfailure

hollow shell
#

@cloud surge We did fix that when the resprite first happened

violet dagger
#

I'll probably repost both of my other suggs

hollow shell
#

What's that one function/mod people use to show hitboxes? Is it built into Terraria or is it a part of Modder's Toolkit or something?

cloud surge
#

But Its still happening to me ech

sand umbra
#

the 1-2 combo of less-than-popular suggestion and absolute tank in star income was funny

#

also it's a thing in Modder's Toolkit

violet dagger
#

its modders toolkit

hollow shell
#

aight
Go pop in-game with Modder's Toolkit and see if you can show the funky hitbox, Shipman

violet dagger
#

also doggo head has a bit funky hitbox since sometimes im like a few pixels away from the head, im clearly not touching it and then i get insta'd but I guess hitboxes cant be that specific

cloud surge
#

how do i show the hitboxes?

violet dagger
#

are u using modders toolkit

#

let me try to get on and show

cloud surge
#

yes modders toolkit

violet dagger
#

im loading into it rn

cloud surge
#

why cant you just tell me?

violet dagger
#

im also gonna test smth

#

ignore the empty house

cloud surge
#

ah i found it

hollow shell
#

(I personally don't know how)

#

ah there's the buuton

cloud surge
#

you could just told me its the empty eye on the bottom right...

hollow shell
#

Imagine memorizing all the positions of the Modder's Toolkit buttons

violet dagger
#

yes but i always overcomplicate things HDfailure

cloud surge
violet dagger
#

head hitbox is massive

cloud surge
#

yeah that looks way too big

hollow shell
#

Aight yeah that PBG hitbox isn't nearly as bad as it was on implementation

#

Looks like more of a minor change

#

You can resuggest with that image added

#

(preferable to have it actually attached instead of putting an image link in your sugg, because otherwise the bot wont embed it)

violet dagger
#

I might sugg smth about doggo hitbox

violet dagger
#

hit enter to early as always?

cobalt pewter
#

Most likely so

novel belfry
#

I need to think this through

cobalt pewter
#

Then don't post until you made a proper sugg HyperFailure

novel belfry
#

fair enough

#

rough draft

Make Revengence mode-exclusive accessories for every boss

Several bosses throughout the mod have Revengence-exclusive accessories already, so giving the rest their very own would make things more consistent.

hollow shell
#

Thanks Shipman

violet dagger
#

I wish it were possible to make hitboxes that exactly match the sprite but that's probably not possible without a ton of unnecessary effort in all types of games

hollow shell
#

m
many more calculations and whatnot

whole sedge
#

Yeah, sadly hitboxes are gonna be messy for a long time and it's gonna be painful until computers and engines are good enough to do that

sand umbra
#

you say that like sprite-perfect hitboxes aren't already doable

#

the issue is that Terraria is made on a decade-old setup

#

one that is literally only used in modern times by Terraria

plain cloak
#

All Calamity Bars should be placable. Change my mind.

dapper coral
#

apparently there's some janky stuff regarding that

#

and it might even be in the don'ts doc

heady storm
#

I believe it is under "frequently suggested."

cobalt pewter
#

The end of the don't doc

#

I wonder what's up with exo gun tho

#

Now I just noticed it's nowhere in the game

novel belfry
#

its not like we have something something Elemental Blaster or something

violet dagger
#

if terry is the reason there's no exo gun bc he hates ranger then I'm not surprised

novel belfry
#

Someone could just donate to patreon to do that themselves, the exo yoyo is a donator item

violet dagger
#

its not exo tho

#

its auric

#

auric=/=exo

heady storm
#

The difference?

radiant meadow
#

right now, thematics

#

exo is the rainbow sort of weapons

#

oracle isn't rainbow

#

like exoblade, gladius, magnomaly, gale, ssv, vivid, immat, celestus, supernova

#

and photo which I didn't forget existed

cobalt pewter
#

so exo mechs will be rainbow?

novel belfry
#

auric gun then

#

wait

#

we already have one

#

exogun it is

violet dagger
#

Later on when draedon is a thing it'll matter more

#

Since auric will be after yharon used for draedon

#

And then exo will be after draedon for scal

#

I'm p sure that's how it'll be

ashen warren
#

can a mod post the emote pls

dapper coral
#

i gotchu

ashen warren
#

ty

violet dagger
#

Someone make a mmm myes pet acid froge meme emote for that summon

#

If that gets suggested I'm not going to be surprised

#

I should probably go to sleep now before spouting some more nonsense HDfailure

radiant meadow
#

The buff icon?

violet dagger
#

Isn't the whole thing kinda a reference to that meme

radiant meadow
#

I just think the buff icon would be the easiest to turn into an emote

violet dagger
#

Yea

#

I might try something

#

But I suck

#

Anyways I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was suggested considering calam versions of meme emotes

#

Inb4 I start a whole conversation about this and don't get any sleep

cobalt pewter
terse estuary

hollow shell

@ashen warren You gotta give a reason

Any reasoning?

Boss Zen affects every area on the server, right?

#

As in multiplayer, boss zen affects everyone right?

wooden wedge
#

Yes

whole sedge
#

Mhmm

chilly solstice
#

This is like a textbook example of suggestion bomb-dropping lol

#

It has a good counterargument in that you already can craft the dolls relatively easy

heady storm
#

That'll be earning my exclamation too actually.

cobalt pewter
#

Droppin mine as well

#

even tho I'm not a mod

heady storm
#

Suggbot will actually remove reactions if they aren't from a moderator iIrc.

cobalt pewter
#

Ah yes

#

fuck

gray nebula
#

what is that sugg

#

"please make it so i can cheat stuff buut cheat it more conveniently pls"

dull prawn
#

but i want to make a sunken sea themed house before i start a new character

#

not wanting to cheat or anything

#

having to build stuff as im playing through is boring

gray nebula
#

yeah but if we made it require a hardmode pick it would break the progression for no reason, and like

limber ocean
#

the wording is weird

gray nebula
#

how would you get a hardmode pickaxe before starting a playthrough

dull prawn
#

its my first time making a suggestion

limber ocean
#

and I mean, I see your point, but at the same time it's kinda weird

distant gyro
#

that's alright but

#

i think i will be more frustrated if i build in prehm and i need a hardmode pick to break navystone causing a temporary mess

limber ocean
#

are both options not possible

gray nebula
#

yeah the suggestion is extremely weird and only beneficial to an incredibly niche group feelsmeow

limber ocean
#

like, you either need a HM pickaxe or beat DS

dull prawn
#

ok i may have worded it a bit wrong but i use a different character that has all the building stuff

limber ocean
#

or the only way to do that is to make blocks straight up unbreakable

dull prawn
#

with cheat sheet so its easier

gray nebula
#

if you're gonna cheat sheet a pickaxe, why not cheat sheet navystone blocks instead, and if you're gonna use a character from a different world, why not bring with them navystone from your other world

limber ocean
#

^

dull prawn
#

doesnt that mean you still cant break it bc its tied to the world?

ashen warren
#

if you're using cheat sheet then use the paint tools to copy air then place it on the navystone

hollow shell
#

And also you can just butcher DS

dull prawn
#

fair point about cheat sheet though

distant gyro
#

most on-boss defeated conditions are world dependent

limber ocean
#

yeah, if you have cheet sheet, DS should take about 4 or 5 clicks, give or take

#

and its defeat doesn't fuck the world state that much

#

it's not like spawning, Idk, WoF

dull prawn
#

im planning on doing a nohit deathmode run and i want to get all the building stuff done before i start

#

so i dont waste so much time making npc houses and boss arenas

limber ocean
#

again, what stops you from spawning it and butchering it?

ashen warren
#

nohit playthrough sounds like bruh

limber ocean
#

you can always just... do it legit right after you're done

dull prawn
#

true

#

again just a tiny minor thing that seems to only bug me

Also yey star count lowered today

5 hours to wait

violet dagger

Well at least I can beat yharon in that time

#

you can edit suggestions

#

also not much of a reason tbh

untold cargo
#

ngl its not very self explanatory to me HyperFailure

faint needle
#

"Its kind of self explanatory" best reason smh

tawny garden
#

"It’s kind of self explanatory" cannot be a part of a valid reason

#

you should always explain, even if it's obvious to you

ashen warren
#

bruh

#

and you deleted it ok

frail mantle
#

there's not really a point in deleting it, mods can see deleted messages anyway

faint needle

I mean he had to delete a message either way

Since there were 2

tawny garden
#

they sent a middle finger in this channel

violet dagger
#

if a moderator sees that it'll probably net them a nice warn

sleek turret
#

also im a bit later, but, isn't last prism a indirect upgrade of Charged Blaster Cannon?

tawny garden
#

(I actually don't care)

#

no, it's not a direct upgrade, cause it's a drop

sleek turret
#

indirect then.

#

discount Last Prism

tawny garden
#

but if you mean "indirect", then prolly ye

sleek turret
zenith hazel
#

so is this reason just "because it looks cool"?

dapper coral
#

if you're referring to the rabbit one, then yea kind of

#

i suppose the question is why it needs to be a calamity addition, rather than another mod

#

in this case

#

@ashen warren

sand umbra
#

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST READ PINS

#

I've said it before and I will gladly say it again

#

it sounds paradoxical, but you'd be stunned how smart people can be when it comes to bein' dumb

#

people will intentionally avoid learnin' themselves a thing or two and will act as stupid as humanly possible to be wow so quirky so relatable or to get a laugh outta others

#

even though, particularly in this pair of channels, it shouldn't be that way

#

because somehow, someway, it seems to be the general concept that bein' stupid gets you way more attention than bein' smart

clever canopy
#

Nah I think they’re just stupid

sand umbra
#

that is also very much a possibility

clever canopy
#

Even before reading the pins I could tell from reading existing suggestions that there was a formula, so it’s really not a stretch to go from that to checking the pins

violet dagger
#

quiz to be able to use a channel setting when discord

#

when u type !! instead of ~~ for strikethrough CompleteFailure

sand umbra
#

but the fact remains that they will stay stupid, intentionally, because it gets them funny views on Roblox and YouTube algorithm favor and attention from important people here and whatnot

tawny garden
#

because somehow, someway, it seems to be the general concept that bein' stupid gets you way more attention than bein' smart
m, [[wikipedia:Herostratus]]

red stormBOT
cobalt pewter
#

Stupid generates money now

#

Which is irritating

violet dagger
#

ye

#

all these clickbaiters

#

are getting more money

#

than good people

clever canopy
#

Yeah I’d be successful rich and famous if only I wasn’t born so smart

sand umbra
#

I reiterate
bein' stupid gets you way more attention than bein' smart

clever canopy
#

You can’t look at a small minority of dumb yet successful people on the internet and make any claims about “society” or “these days”

#

For the vast majority of people being dumb will not be an advantage

violet dagger
#

people find that being dumb in the earlier stages of life gets them everywhere

#

and then they continue into adult hood

tawny garden
#

ye, I think it's just that you notice successful dumbasses more than you notice unsuccessful ones, or successful smart people

violet dagger
#

and go HyperFailure

dapper coral
#

this is a wonderful conversation and all, but seems more apt for a different channel, perhaps

analog tulip
#

i read the pins but i dont know how to make my text white like the header

tawny garden
#

**Bold**

dapper coral
#

although bold isn't quite necessary for a suggestion, it's just nice to have

tawny garden
#

and it's not important, the embed will bold it for you when the bot sends the sugg into #suggestions-voting

#

((wow, the bot takes quite a while to spin up and remove my reaction))

dapper coral
#

sometimes it does yea

#

because discord is poopy

sand umbra
#

so anywho have we already sufficiently discussed the latest sugg

tawny garden
#

I meant the ❗

sand umbra
#

because the latest sugg makes no sense, at least to me

dapper coral
#

I meant the ❗
yeah that one

tawny garden
#

don't star it

dapper coral
#

i assume it takes a while because of discord being silly

tawny garden
#

ye, Philo, explain the system to Thomas

sand umbra
#

yes, explain the system to the local grumpster that knows the system too well

dapper coral
#

i think it's meant to say pre-hardmode, actually

tawny garden
#

local grumpster
global*

dapper coral
#

oh, cool that person isn't in the server

#

epic

sand umbra
#

epic

#

they left without ever adjusting their sugg to maybe make more sense

dapper coral
#

the question is whether i just delete it HDfailure

tawny garden
#

no

#

(why is the exclamation there?)

dapper coral
#

because it doesn't make sense

sand umbra
#

(because the suggestion makes no sense and the same applies to the "reasoning" behind it)

dapper coral
#

i'm assuming it's supposed to say pre-hardmode pickaxe

#

based on the reasoning they provided

tawny garden
#

ah, I'm dumb

sand umbra
#

Changing it so it requires a hardmode pickaxe to mine means that you have to have to use cheat sheet or a different character to do so

hollow shell
#

What's wrong with Viri's sugg?

sand umbra
#

heh?
heeeeeeeeeeeeehhh?

tawny garden
#

I couldn't even understand the reasoning

hollow shell
#

I mean like I know what's wrong with it

#

but

#

could it be conceived as valid

sand umbra
#

no

dapper coral
#

their reasoning is geared towards a pre-hardmode pickaxe requirement, but the title and reasoning both reference a hardmode pickaxe requirement

sand umbra
#

it's not valid if the reasoning contradicts itself

tawny garden
#

if you just entered a newly created world, it's pre-hardmode

sand umbra
#

hmmm yes this early-game is made of early-game

dapper coral
#

wait

#

Changing it so it requires a hardmode pickaxe to mine means that you have to have to use cheat sheet or a different character to do so
what does this even mean

tawny garden
#

oh, but you could transfer a pickaxe from HM

dapper coral
#

now i don't know what they want

hollow shell
#

He thinks that that is a good thing

fossil finch
#

The reasoning was kinda like "make so i don't have to kill ds to get navistone if i had a hm pick

sand umbra
#

now you see why I don't think it's valid

dapper coral
#

oh

sand umbra
#

the reasoning contradicts itself

dapper coral
#

wait so they're saying that if you skip DS for some reason then you should still be able to get navystone

#

ah

tawny garden
#

ok this is really confusing

sand umbra
#

bitch I'm not gonna wait until Hardmode to mine a post-DS black

dapper coral
#

i mean, okay, but you could just kill DS with hardmode gear at that point and it would take like 5 seconds

sand umbra
#

I'm gonna beat up the piss-easy worm and then mine the post-piss-easy-worm block

tawny garden
#

use cheat sheet to get the summon

sand umbra
#

with Hardmode gear it's not even a fight, it's just shooting your weapon for like a second and bam you're done

fossil finch
#

But, they reasoning is basically telling the reader "i created a new character and a new world, but i want navystone without killing ds, so please let me cheat in a hardmode pick to do so"

hollow shell
#

The suggestion would be better if it was that
the player is allowed to mine Navystone with a Hardmode (or late PreHM) pickaxe req
and it was not only locked behind DS throughout the whole game

#

alongside being able to kill DS

#

to mine it

dapper coral
#

but even so there's still a major flaw

tawny garden
#

I think they mean that, Rover

sand umbra
#

but it's not clear at all

dapper coral
#

in that DS is literally the easiest boss in the game, other than KS, and it shouldn't take that much effort to just do that instead of adding another possible requirement

sand umbra
#

the wording of the sugg heavily contradicts that concept

hollow shell
#

They said "rather than", so I don't think that's what they meant

dapper coral
#

and also it's contradictory too

#

can people who aren't in the server see pings if they come back?

hollow shell
#

Are they coming back

sand umbra
#

probably not

dapper coral
#

dunno

tawny garden
#

send a friend request

dapper coral
#

their last message was about 10 minutes after they posted the sugg

hollow shell
#

well

#

@dull prawn Read all the above feedback and rework your suggestion accordingly.
Here is your suggestion:

Change navystone so it requires a hardmode pickaxe to mine, rather than after Desert Scourge has been defeated
It makes it inconvenient if you are wanting to make themed npc houses for a new character/playthrough (I like making mini biomes for mine) requiring that you finish building everything else first, start the new character to kill desert scourge, and then finish building. Changing it so it requires a hardmode pickaxe to mine means that you have to have to use cheat sheet or a different character to do so, and allowing people to still make builds out of it before desert scourge.

#

and now I will delete it from posting

#

fuck hang on

pinging a person without them being there at the time of the ping does nothing I'm pretty sure

hollow shell
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sand umbra
#

and they're not in the server (and likely won't be returning) so PartyBirb

hollow shell
#

and @ashen warren has been offline for 12 hours

dapper coral
#

i don't see the issue with this one, unless there is a reason that eidolist specifically doesn't get a bar?

analog tulip
#

maybe because its not catergorized as a boss bar but idk

tawny garden
#

there is no issue

analog tulip
#

as mini boss*

dapper coral
#

iirc it was based on a certain amount of health? which is why cnidrion doesn't have one?

#

but idk for sure

tawny garden
#

there's no such thing as a "mini boss" in the game source

sand umbra
#

Demik, counterpoint:

#

Eidolists literally have 10k health

#

that's more than a Biome Mimic, which does get a bar

violet dagger
#

and only 1 being able to be alive at once now implies it's now a miniboss

dapper coral
#

yessir

tawny garden
#

I'm pretty sure that there's just a banlist of enemies that do get a bar

dapper coral
#

which is why i wonder if that was truly the system

#

it's probably that, yeah ^

tawny garden
#

somewhere in the hp bar code

violet dagger
#

ye

analog tulip
#

there attacks also do a pretty good amount of damage

violet dagger
#

cuz otherwise u get endgame enemies

#

normal ones

#

with hp bars

tawny garden
#

the only problem with the sugg is that right at the end you say "boss bar" instead of "boss health bar"
nitpick

analog tulip
#

ok just edited it to fix that

dapper coral
#

seems fine now to me

hollow shell
#

Probably should say 'boss health bar' in the top line too

#

Also the Eidolist being more dangerous than the Paladin is arguable

#

cuz the Paladin has 50 defense as well as 45% DR in Rev
whereas Eidolist has 0 of both, making it die a lot faster

analog tulip
#

true

hollow shell
#

In Expert, Paladin and Eidolist have the same health but Paladin deals more damage than Eidolist does

#

(In Rev too, actually)

rare kernel
#

eidolists spawn earlier than paladins do though

hollow shell
#

That's true at least

analog tulip
#

wait do Eidolists spawn as soon as hardmode starts or as soon as plantera is killed

hollow shell
#

Hardmode

analog tulip
#

an Eidolist would be a threat in early hardmode in the dungeon

#

if you accidently hit it

left crest
#

eidolists getting a bar sounds good

hollow shell
#

You could add that to your suggestion

left crest
#

because if you're killing eidolist for the LC summon you might be doing it in early hardmode, when eidolists are a significant threat

analog tulip
#

edited it

sleek turret
#

As soon Hardmode enters, you are able to summon LC by using Eidolon Tablet.

#

In a casual Rev+ PT is not recommended, but on a normal difficulty "speedrun" PT, LC has almost the same HP as both Twins.

tawny garden
#

@gentle sage specific item suggs aren't allowed

dapper coral
#

indeed

#

you can suggest that there be a dye from the sunken sea biome, but no specific names like that

tawny garden
#

also you have no reason

#

(I guess in this case I'd allow it, cause it's borderline and there's nothing else it could be)

gentle sage
#

Ahh

#

Sorry

tawny garden
#

but if you want it, at least have a reason in your sugg

gentle sage
#

Yeah sorry about that

ashen warren
#

hey guys

#

remember my loadouts suggestion?

#

someone made it into a mod

#

this is awesome!

tawny garden
#

cool, but which sugg is that?

chilly solstice
#

And what would it have to do with Calamity in the first place?..

dapper coral
#

oop, that picture broke

tawny garden
#

that picture looks fantastic

#

so beautiful
I'm guessing it's not in #deleted-notifications

dapper coral
#

nope

tawny garden
#

@cosmic voidcould you resend the picture for your sugg here, it kinda broke

dapper coral
#

just put it here and i'll stick it in voting manually

tawny garden
dapper coral
#

i did a ben

tawny garden
zenith hazel
#

oh boy it's time

hollow shell
#

It is time sorry I was in the middle of a run

dapper coral
#

it's that time

zenith hazel
#

it's only 25 days

#

what could possibly go wrong

tawny garden
#

iirc 17 suggs are affected

dapper coral
#

philo says there are under 20, i think

#

ye

tawny garden
#

I counted

#

the 2 days may have given you an extra 1 or 2

#

yey

zenith hazel
#

17 is already like 10 more than usual

hollow shell
#

I'll get started, then

fiery rapids
#

how difficult would it be to have the suggestion bot send messages?

tawny garden
#

sending messages to a different guild is easy, there's a function for that in the api

#

the catch is that there are tags

gray nebula
#

but then there's the tagging of suggs

#

we already had this discussion iirc and it came down to "too much effort for not enough actual benefits"

#

also epicly getting the dev part of the sugg channel spammed sourcat

zenith hazel
#

alright that should be everything

tawny garden
#

good job

sand umbra
#

it has occurred

#

time to--
wait a minute slowmode and sugg limit exist

#

fek

#

I'm gonna need to spread this out over a few days echsnap

tawny garden
#

mmlol

#

also it still needs to mention❗

cosmic void
#

Hrrm, I don't have the picture anymore

sand umbra
#

...might repasta my old mat removal suggs first

tawny garden
#

m, did you trash it?

sand umbra
#

should I condense them all into one sugg, or no?

tawny garden
#

no

distant gyro
#

there's actually 24 and not 17 it seems

sand umbra
#

alright time to use my 3 (three) sugg slots for the day

robust lava
#

The Thomas re-suggestioning will be upon us soon

tawny garden
#

7 suggs hit the req in 2 days?

zenith hazel
#

be nice with the suggestions

#

if we get like 7 delivered suggs/day again you know the deal

gray nebula
#

bro don't sugg them all at once

sand umbra
#

e

gray nebula
#

you're gonna end up burying your own suggestions and then loose potential stars

sand umbra
#

.

#

you
actually make a very good argument

#

fuck

gray nebula
sand umbra
#

I've been sabotaging myself this whole time

#

noooooooooo

tawny garden
#

just repost the suggs when you selfsabotaged

sand umbra
#

don't worry literally none of them reached 200 to my knowledge

distant gyro
#

strike at the right moment

violet dagger
#

I have a bunch of suggs if i beat yharon today

distant gyro
#

aka when the star count changes CompleteFailure

violet dagger
#

maybe watching leviathan's new video will help

tawny garden
#

that's not the right moment, Altix

distant gyro
#

practically you'd have to do it a day earlier, so you're too late on that

tawny garden
#

that is very much the wrongest moment

sand umbra
#

the last time I presumed the star count changing was the right moment two entire subsets of suggestions of mine got scammed by a sudden plummet in star income

#

and also self-sabotage probably but shush

tawny garden
#

star income

#

💲💲💲

sand umbra
#

we've got to have

#

money stars

distant gyro
#

i have past experience that the suggestions after the star change tend to meet their delivery levels in a day or so

sand umbra
#

time to kill Ancient Bone Dust then HyperEvasion

violet dagger
#

this is the first time star count has been lowered

tawny garden
#

ye

violet dagger
#

by the looks of it

tawny garden
#

it is

violet dagger
#

probably because the star count was lower on the previous systems

distant gyro
cosmic void
#

Should I post the suggestion itself again?

hollow shell
#

hrm

violet dagger
#

no

cosmic void
#

I think the image broke because the suggestion itself got deleted

violet dagger
#

it just got into voting

hollow shell
#

I think he might need to

violet dagger
#

and it's affected by the lowering

hollow shell
#

And we'll delete the one in voting

violet dagger
#

unless ye

#

the image

distant gyro
#

the image didn't work yes

hollow shell
#

Also that's not how it works gseal, the lowering was retroactive

tawny garden
#

oh, and manually approve

hollow shell
#

yeah

#

So
Yeah sure you can repost, Dakota

#

(about 44 voters will need to reinstate their vote, but this should be better for your sugg in the long run anyway cuz of the helpful image)

tawny garden
#

darn, 43 stars will be lost

hollow shell
#

Alrighty

#

I'll save this image to be safe

cosmic void
#

Thank you xP

faint needle
#

Why did Dakota reupload

hollow shell
#

Image broke in voting

faint needle
#

Oh

robust lava
#

Explained right above

hollow shell
#

Image broke again in voting

#

???????

sand umbra
#

bruh moment

violet dagger
#

maybe just put it into voting

#

and u put the image

tawny garden
#

a good thing to do is to fucking read prev. messages

sand umbra
#

yes that's a good thing to do

violet dagger
#

unless that broke

hollow shell
#

Right I coulda done that considering it was consecutive
Jumped the gun on the deletion

faint needle
#

Yeah like mods did with letsfuckinggo and that scarf sugg

hollow shell
#

I was about to suggest to Dakota that he convert the image into a JPG or something so it is encoded differently

cosmic void
#

Could still be removed and I do that

hollow shell
#

May as well try

tawny garden
#

could the slowmode be reset?

violet dagger
#

not for one person

cosmic void
#

No biggie

violet dagger
#

the whole slow mode has to be removed

tawny garden
#

only Thomas will be affected

violet dagger
cosmic void
tawny garden
#

apart from Dakota

hollow shell
#

Aight cool, thank you

violet dagger
#

or could rover just post it in voting

#

like when the bot went down

hollow shell
#

yeah if it breaks again I'll just, post it like the LETSFUCKINGGOOO emote

dapper coral
#

yeah, do a ben

hollow shell
#

uhhh I'm pretty sure an animation is supposed to play

sleek turret
#

let me check the wiki

hollow shell
#

Yeah it's in the sheet
If it's not playing that may be a bug @wispy heron

wispy heron
#

oh, ok then

sleek turret
#

Yes, it has an start animation and a final animation.

wispy heron
#

good to know

#

probably another multiplayer thing

hollow shell
#

Likely

tawny garden
hollow shell
#

Yes it was a sugg that was actually (probably) a bug

tawny garden
#

ah

hollow shell
#

aight @cosmic void I think you can repost now

tawny garden
#

hm, for some reason the messages above didn't show up as unread

#

aight @static falconver I think you can approve now

dapper coral
#

tf

heady storm
#

Rip that ping.

tawny garden
#

I pinged a rando

#

darn

hollow shell
#

Here's hoping

#

Alright welp

#

Dakota is just cursed

dapper coral
#

that is strange indeed

tawny garden
#

it resends as a download link

cosmic void
#

I am the sad

tawny garden
#

hmm, you know what

cosmic void
#

But hopefully it climbs again

tawny garden
#

if someone posts a test sugg with an image and it gets approved and it also does that, that'd indicate a bot problem

hollow shell
#

If it's a bot problem it must've emerged recently

tawny garden
#

mb Amber messed with em

hollow shell
#

I'll test

tawny garden
unreal viper
#

Did the star count get lowered?

violet dagger
#

yes

unreal viper
#

@sand umbra Repost evil series time, tho I suppose you're doing material series first.

tawny garden
#

ok

hollow shell
#

oooo it is a bot problem

#

@ashen warren The bot ain't embedding images properly

tawny garden
#

oh, now we can have rover approved rover memes

sand umbra
#

yeeeees, that is the plan

#

I'm doing suggs one at a time though so that people have time to star each one more

#

evil series repasta will come after material death series repasta

hollow shell
#

I could have used a much funnier Rover-based image but I didn't wanna come off as meme-ing in official channels

sand umbra
#

(material death series may also be getting expanded this time around)

#

(since those suggs were originally posted I've found a couple other materials which could stand to perish)

sturdy geyser
#

rover banned for posting memes 😳

tawny garden
violet dagger
hollow shell
#

What materials are they
may I ask

ashen warren
#

wh

#

i'll look into

hollow shell
#

👍

sand umbra
#

so the original trilogy was Ancient Bone Dust, Ectoblood, and Maneater Bulbs + Gypsy Powder, right

unreal viper
#

I think so.

cosmic void
#

Suggestion was deleted again? o:

hollow shell
#

It's in voting

cosmic void
#

Oh, pff

#

Right, didn't put two and two together

hollow shell
#

It's aight

ashen warren
#

possibly fixed, give it 15 seconds or so to re-initialise

hollow shell
#

aight

sand umbra
#

as a sneak peek, here are some other materials where I've found arguments for deletion since posting the original trilogy:

  • Evil Essences (all uses can just be replaced with the pre-existing evil-exclusive mats and nothing would change)
  • Cloaking Glands (used for 1 potion which could honestly just drop directly and in most cases isn't useful anyway, kill or give more purpose to both)
  • Enchanted Metal (p. sure I already made a sugg on this, but tl;dr there are better potential ways --- now more than ever with the addition of Draedon's Arsenal shit --- to ease the process of farming Mech summons, and the one time it had any other purpose there was literally a whole point made to make it not have that purpose. heeeeeeehhh?)
  • Hadarian Membranes (used for one item which can stand to just drop directly and isn't even on the same tier, kill or give more purpose)
  • Murky Paste (Jungle still has too many mats ae. also probably something about how you could replace all uses of this with some other Jungle mat and nothing would change. I'm iffier on this one)
  • Murky Sludge (there are honestly other mats that would fill this stuff's purpose much better, I think)
#

a lot of Calamity's material bloat right now tends to rest in the Jungle and sorta the evils, thinking about it further

sturdy geyser
#

poggers

hollow shell
#

Yes this all makes sense

#

cept uhh
Murky Sludge is a lil bit trickier

#

Also arguably Hadarian Membranes are fine in that they are consistent with other wing mats (the feathers)

sand umbra
#

mmmmmm

#

see I'd start to argue against you but I don't wanna ramble for 15 minutes

#

tl;dr wing tokens suck and are not a good standard to follow

sturdy geyser
#

wing mats aren't exactly good design though

hollow shell
#

yeah but we can't do anything about em

sturdy geyser
#

true

#

you can do things about hadarian membranes

sand umbra
#

yeah you can do things about the Membranes

#

though, for Membranes in particular
alternatively
you can add some new shit which takes them to craft

#

there's like nothing crafted primarily out of Astral mats currently

#

so like if they're not gonna die they could really do with having more purpose

tawny garden
#

Suggbot came online

sinful steeple
#

The only similarity between like ancient bone dust and bones is they're both bone based items

dapper coral
#

one is bone, and the other is smushed bone

sinful steeple
#

Also it gives an incentive to fight the underground skeleton enemies other than the skeleton archer, which is honestly a good thing

hollow shell
sand umbra
#

everything that uses ABD uses Bones or some other much later mat as well, with the only exception being Calcium Potions

hollow shell
#

@ashen warren All good 👍

tawny garden
#

yey

hollow shell
#

I do actually kinda like the incentivization to kill normal Underground skeletons

#

Right now they drop
Bone Sword (amazing)
Ancient Helmets (amazing)
vanity Skull (amazing)
and Hook (amazing)

ashen warren
#

epic, i don't even remember what i did but epic

tawny garden
sinful steeple
#

That's not really very much considering that there's only four recipes that use ancient bone dust

sand umbra
sinful steeple
#

And also it's actually 2 items that use ancient bone dust and no bones

sand umbra
#

Crumbling uses Forbidden Fragments

#

and Essence of Sunlight

sinful steeple
#

Which isn't bones

sand umbra
#

however they are both Hardmode items

sinful steeple
#

So?

#

It's not like materials become irrelevant after their tier, essences are important even endgame despite being just after WoF

sand umbra
#

that's because they're used in the most unnecessarily complex compression tree I have ever seen

#

Cores of Calamity are used for like everything in late-game

sinful steeple
#

What about phantoplasm, then

#

It's still used long after ML

sand umbra
#

...that's because it's a post-ML mat

#

I have problems with Phantoplasm, don't get the wrong idea

sinful steeple
#

What's wrong with phantoplasm?

sand umbra
#

but the concept that it is useful far after the tier you start being able to get it is not one of them

#

the issue with Ancient Bone Dust is that any purpose it has outside of Calcium Potions, thematically speaking, can be filled just as well by other mats, be they added to or already in the related recipes

unreal viper
#

What about bones for calcium pots.

sinful steeple
#

Ancient bone dust also helps make marble caves better because they're commonly dropped by the javelin guys

hollow shell
#

A little issue is that you don't acknowledge in your sugg that Crumbling Potions use no Bones
You only mention that ABD would be replaced with Bones in Calcium's recipe

sturdy geyser
#

why do crumbling potions use ancient bone dust in the first place

sand umbra
#

(ofuck you're right)

sinful steeple
#

ABD honestly does more help than harm as they are

hollow shell
#

because "crumbling"

sand umbra
#

(lemme fix that so that it says those can use Bones as well hahayes)

hollow shell
#

Ancient Bone Dust is fuckin pulverized bones

sinful steeple
#

They could be more used but like really what problems do they cause

hollow shell
#

Thomas doesn't like redundant materials

sand umbra
#

^

#

material bloat is a real problem that large mods tend to suffer from echsnap

#

and Calamity has. quite a bit of it, to be blunt

hollow shell
#

His strongest argument is Maneater Bulbs
because Maneaters already drop Vines near-exclusively, so Maneater Bulbs can easily be replaced with Vines in all Calamity recipes

sinful steeple
#

Then get rid of materials that don't help much at all?

hollow shell
#

That's the idea

sinful steeple
#

Like hadarian membranes, what do they do that's good

hollow shell
#

Encourages you to kill Hadarians

#

Hadarians serve no purpose otherwise

sand umbra
#

Hadarian Membranes are in a really awkward spot, I agree

#

they're post-Aureus yet the one thing they're used for takes Astral Bars anyway

novel belfry
#

lots of materials in vanilla are exclusively for wings, so at least it's somewhat okayish

hollow shell
#

(at least it allows you to build up a stock over time and you don't need to farm em post-Deus)

sand umbra
#

(fair)

#

(they still could use more purpose if they're going to stay, though)

sinful steeple
#

You don't really see hadarians much, though

sand umbra
#

(they're used for literally one thing that isn't even on the same tier e)

hollow shell
#

Exactly Macaroni (kinda)

sinful steeple
#

Skeleton type enemies are all over and basically there's nothing worth it that any of them drop except for ench quiver

#

The cave skeletons not the dungeon skeletons

novel belfry
#

honestly i don't really like how astral infection spawns hardmode, where another infective biome also spawns, but that's something too large for me to actually sugg

sinful steeple
#

Astral infection doesn't spread though

#

It's not actually infectious it's just... There

sand umbra
#

that's not even the word, it's Magic Quiver

also from skeleton-type non-Dungeoneers: Marrow from literally the exact same enemy, Beam Sword (wait a minute this sucks never mind), Armor Polish, Bone Sword to beat things up, Ancient helmets, Hook for an early grappling hook, Javelins + Gladiator armor from Hoplites (the latter even has an immensely increased drop rate in Calamity)

novel belfry
#

i mean when it was just a meteor it made sense
but then it becomes another infectious biome with a infection in the name, yet it doesn't spread

#

i honestly wish that its spawntime would be moved to after moonlord dies

sinful steeple
#

Okay... One word difference from magic quiver

hollow shell
#

mmm moving it to post-ML is a bit extreme

novel belfry
#

that's why I thought it was too much for me to sugg, so I guess this is going on deaf ears

hollow shell
#

((Also Marrow, Beam Sword, and Armor Polish are only the HM skeletons))

fossil finch
#

You would also need to move aureus and deus to post moonlord

novel belfry
#

yeah and that too

sand umbra
#

(the HM skeletons still drop Ancient Bone Dust and I'm making a point)

hollow shell
#

ok

fossil finch
#

And every early-hmode craft with stardust would need to be changed

sinful steeple
#

Basically none of those are very useful or are obtainable more easily elsewhere

sand umbra
#

(the point being that there's already a good deal of loot from non-Dungooner skeletons that is worth getting, ABD notwithstanding)

sinful steeple
#

But the thing is, nearly none of it is worth getting/worth your time waiting for the skeletons specifically to show up

sand umbra
#

Gladiator armor in particular not only has a greatly increased drop rate but is buffed into a rogue set by Calamity

#

that's from Hoplites (the "javelin guys" you mentioned)

sinful steeple
#

Yeah but the thing is, there's already enough rogue sets easier to get and if you just use one of those you'd be further than if you farmed

#

You don't even need to get far at all to get sulphurous armour

sand umbra
#

.

#

alright

#

this isn't gonna get anywhere like this, so let me present to you a variant of the prompt that makes more sense:

#

Why should Ancient Bone Dust be kept in the game as it is right now, given that various skeletons drop other items already and other mats can fill the thematic purpose of ABD and do it better?

tawny garden
#

to increase the wiki page count

sand umbra
#

no wiki points for you

violet dagger
#

yes wiki points for everyoneHahaYes

hollow shell
#

(I mean, I disagree that other items will fill the "thematic" purpose of ABD better. That argument only applies to Crumbling, and replacing it with Bones or removing it entirely will take away slightly from the "crumbling" theme.
Calcium ABD replaced with Bones is more of a gameplay argument than a thematic argument because of the tier-shift that would result)

sinful steeple
#

They drop items but are the items they drop worth it? Not really, honestly. ABD is pretty worth tryna get if there are things you'd want from it, it's just that it's not used much

sand umbra
#

You can use ABD for all of one thing before fighting Skeletron or WoF.

#

One very particular thing which I have a special breed of disdain for and which invalidates multiple other item effects including completely cucking the Lucky Horseshoe, an accessory typically found later than the average underground skeleton.

sinful steeple
#

So then make it used in more stuff?

sand umbra
#

Like what?

sinful steeple
#

I dunno, do you expect me to have a list?

sand umbra
#

Even just one or two things will do. I'm looking to get examples here, not a whole-ass list.

#

The whole-ass list is my job. HyperFailure

sinful steeple
sand umbra
#

although if ABD can be reasonably saved from death with more uses I wanna suggest a rework to, or the removal of, Calcium Potions

#

would people be against that or

sinful steeple
#

Absolutely not calcium pots are kinda stupid

sand umbra
#

good to see we agree on something

gaunt quest
#

I mean I use them when I was using certain accessories that didn't allow for me to have horseshoe

sand umbra
hollow shell
#

I've never used Calcium Pots cuz I didn't think they were very useful

sand umbra
#

tl;dr Lucky Horseshoe in a Bottle

tawny garden
#

iirc a calcium potion rework has been sugged in the past

sinful steeple
#

They don't sound useful but like they completely invalidate horseshoe

sand umbra
#

it's Lucky Horseshoe as a potion effect

tawny garden
#

or was it a repurpose/relocation sugg?

sturdy geyser
#

lucky horseshoe will be gotten from gold chests in 1.4.1

tawny garden
#

🤷‍♂️

sand umbra
#

(I'd also say "and earlier" but there's a change to Lucky Horseshoe in the final update which is--)

sinful steeple
#

To be fair, you could buff horseshoe instead of nerf calcium but idk

sand umbra
#

(yeah)

sturdy geyser
#

which is something to keep in mind

sand umbra
#

(that)

sturdy geyser
#

the accessory would be from the same place as the potion

sand umbra
#

yeah Horseshoe is gonna be found in underground Gold Chests once 1.4.1 drops

#

which makes it even more awkward

sinful steeple
#

Yeah but that doesn't really help much

#

It'd be on the same tier then but like... Come on. Which would you choose between, horseshoe or calcium pot

sand umbra
#

Calcium Potions, easily

#

you have 5 (6 in Master) acc slots

#

you have 22 buff slots

#

the only downside to Calcium Potions is that they require a bit of upkeep

sinful steeple
#

Yeah, which isn't really a downside

sturdy geyser
#

but

sand umbra
#

yeah that's. not a downside at all compared to the immense advantage it provides over Horseshoe

#

which is freeing up an accessory slot

sturdy geyser
#

that early in the game you don't have that many accessories to choose from

tawny garden
#

or you'll have wings in a bit

sinful steeple
#

Honestly in general horseshoe should probably get a buff, even with the retier and even if there was a calcium nerf because it just isn't very helpful

hollow shell
#

I personally dislike managing potions so I think Horseshoe would be a better investment

#

just me tho

sturdy geyser
#

and yes, fledgling wings will be in sky chests

sinful steeple
#

Probably actually gonna make a sugg about a horseshoe buff since it just kinda stinks anyway

tawny garden
#

I personally dislike managing potions so I think Horseshoe would be a better investment
horseshoe balloons are a bit better than that

sand umbra
#

but you see, Philo

#

Horseshoe Balloons don't upgrade into BoB

#

and what is an accessory loadout in Calamity if not dominated by meta

tawny garden
#

that's been bugging me for a year and a half and I never got around to sugging cause I didn't care too much and I used wings as soon as I could

sinful steeple
#

Actually wait would that count as sugg chaining if Thomas' sugg mentions horseshoe getting kinda memed on by calcium pot

#

Or whatever it was called

sand umbra
#

if your sugg stands on its own then no

@teal whale You should be more clear with the line "don't summon actual minions"

#

Do you specifically want more head-hover minions?

teal whale
#

yeah

hollow shell
#

Alright, top line should be reworded then

#

At first I thought you were talking about weapons like Borealis Bomber

#

which have no minion slots

teal whale
#

ill reword the rest of the post as well

#

give me a sec

hollow shell
#

aighty

tawny garden
#

the head hover minions are still minions

teal whale
#

should be better/more clear

hollow shell
#

Your top line wasn't changed . _.

teal whale
#

fuck hang on

tawny garden
#

that's better

clever canopy
#

There’s quite a few head minions already tbh and I like the one summon limit

hollow shell
#

That is better yeah
make sure you fix the "minions minions" though

#

ye thanks

teal whale
#

im not asking for more specifically

clever canopy
#

Just so you know you can summon more than one at a time as long as they’re different

teal whale
#

but changing some of them to work like sirius at different stages in the prehm/hm would add a lot of consistency

#

yeah i understand that

clever canopy
#

Like you can summon frost blossom and sun spirit at the same time which is pretty good for that point in the game

#

Also if you go for the reaver shark you can get the cinder blossom at the same time

#

Add that to the armor bonus from victide and I really don’t think it needs a buff

teal whale
#

but if you take pre slime god/wof for example, the head hover minions are a waste of minion slots

clever canopy
#

How come?

teal whale
#

not enough damage for the cost of a minion slot when that slot could be taken up by two herrings

#

at the same time, herrings dont deal with slime god that well once the bigger slimes have been taken out

#

simply too fast

clever canopy
#

I think having the one minion limit just adds more variety to the summoner class, if you could just keep summoning them for more damage it’d take away that variety

violet dagger
#

anyways if any more minions of that type were added, then balance them correctly so we dont get another sirius or saros

teal whale
#

yeah, variety is a fair point, but would it not be considered adding variety if you were picking and optimizing minion slots to find the perfect balance between the over head minions and normal ones?

clever canopy
#

You can use the cinder blossom staff up to wof as it helps deal with the hungries that get close to you while herrings are busy with the wof

glass sentinel
#

nah corroslimes aboslutely wreck wof

#

and ballista spam

unreal viper
#

Huh.

teal whale
#

for balancing, i was thinking of making them weaker than regular minions of the same tier

glass sentinel
#

1k dps

unreal viper
#

I hate herrings, so I'll keep that in mind.

violet dagger
#

bruh upgraded slime staff slimes

#

herring gang all the way

glass sentinel
#

for herring you have to go to the abyss

#

the slime is just a SG kill

fossil finch
#

Wich is easy af

sand umbra
#

evil slimes are actually garbage unless you have an arena specifically tailored to them

fossil finch
#

Going to abyss is piss easy lol

glass sentinel
#

not really

#

i just had a flat ground

#

lol

sand umbra
#

...yes

#

that is the setup you need

glass sentinel
#

thats not specifically tailored

sand umbra
#

an arena whose ground is entirely flat and can easily reach one of the eyes

#

that is very much specifically tailored

#

how many people do you know that have the patience to literally flatten Hell for an arena they'll never use again

tawny garden
#

...hi that's me

glass sentinel
#

i said flat ground

#

not flat hell

tawny garden
#

(well, I didn't flatten it, but I did excavate a lot of it)

sand umbra
#

...I think that's the first time someone's invoked Exact Words on me

clever canopy
#

That kinda makes me think about how it’d be nice if minions could walk on lava/water if you had waders or a water walking potion

sand umbra
#

clearly I am off my game

clever canopy
#

In fact no that’d be dumb cause angel treads

#

Ignore me

sand umbra
#

anywho in my experience evil slimes weren't really impressive at all when fighting WoF

#

herrings were way more consistent

#

however, on the other side of the same coin

#

herrings are actually fucking trash at keeping up with SG

glass sentinel
#

ngl i used hornets for SG

violet dagger
#

haha aestheticus

glass sentinel
#

bc they shot fast

clever canopy
#

Grounded minions in general are pretty bad

sand umbra
#

hornets are lowkey hella good as minions

fossil finch
#

What

#

This contradicts every single other opinion i ever saw

sand umbra
#

consistent, frequent fire rate
relatively fast projectiles
and free Poison tick damage

clever canopy
#

For most bosses you gotta dodge way too much for ground minions to keep up and deal damage

sand umbra
#

the main reason imps aren't better is because imp fire rate has the consistency of a wet piece of paper

clever canopy
#

Fixed in 1.4 thankfully

teal whale
#

i wouldnt say "fixed", but the higher rate of fire helps

clever canopy
#

I’d say they’re better than hornets in 1.4, which is all that needed to happen for them to be fixed

teal whale
#

idk i dont like hornets

#

always preferred imps

#

though neither compare to ballista spam

sand umbra
#

b a l l i s t a
s p a m

#

the one summoning option that trumps all others for a large chunk of the game

teal whale
#

ballista spam actually makes master mode wof a joke

glass sentinel
#

exactly

teal whale
#

uh

glass sentinel
#

and d mode wof

teal whale
#

sanguine staff?

glass sentinel
#

actually DAD wof

teal whale
#

you can use that shit till like

#

ml

#

and still have it be an amazing option

clever canopy
#

I like that sentry spam is so effective though cause it actually gives summoners something to do other than dodge

haughty owl
#

Imagine doing SG last phase without head summons

sand umbra
#

wait a minute why is there a Spec Mask sugg

sinful steeple
#

You called?

clever canopy
#

The fact that head summons are so effective is exactly why they shouldn’t be buffed

teal whale
#

the thing is, even with head summons, it has 8000 health in death mode

sand umbra
#

more importantly how did it take me this fucking long to see that

#

no, no, I can't even point out the main flaw with it because it's already
there

#

@unreal viper hi I'm too late for this to affect the sugg but
Spectre Mask in particular was buffed like hell in 1.4 and is now actually disgustingly good

teal whale
#

and you have frost blossom, cinder blossom and sun spirit

#

good luck getting through that 8000 health

sand umbra
#

"but Thomas that doesn't count because Calamity isn't--"
I know that but it needs to be prepared for when 1.4 does come, because it will come and it will be fantastically awkward for most of the mod

sand umbra
#

(anywho that and Spectre is honestly on the high end of armor viability)

#

(if Reaver is substantially better than Spectre...I think there's a deeper problem than the latter being "bad", because it is most certainly not bad)

clever canopy
#

and you have frost blossom, cinder blossom and sun spirit
@teal whale that’s not the only minions you can have though, you can use other flying ones in conjunction

teal whale
#

yes, but the herring staff is really really bad at hitting it

clever canopy
#

Then use a different one

violet dagger

reaver is big meme
