#

Chaotic suggestions are generally big sweeping changes to the mod

#

They shift the balance of the mod significantly

#

Lawful suggestions use strict detail to enact a change

pine star
#

oh

hot zephyr
#

Feedzuh is true neutral because the sheer amount of suggestions make it difficult to place him

pine star
#

haha

hot zephyr
#

Demik is lawful neutral because he uses Da Rules to banish unworthy suggestions and to raise proper ones

pine star
#

oh

#

ok

proper grail
#

I'm curious as to what I am

glass sentinel
#

^^^

heady storm
#

Oh yeah, I meant on the chart.

#

But it’s off topic here now. CirrusBreakdown

proper grail
#

Fair point with the eyes, that would help a lot

golden narwhal
#

I initially imagined this in vanilla, where the top eye just spams lasers when the other two eyes where killed
Not sure how that'd work in rev+ taxevasion

cobalt pewter
#

Or just keep the deathray timer as it is

#

But make top eye shoot things every time it's open

#

So somewhat like Prime situation, where the limb attacks are used for the relatively primary part of the boss

golden narwhal
#

That'd prolly be more balanced, but I like the top eye being open as a sign of "oh fuck"

cobalt pewter
#

Well it's subtle, but you can see dust on the top eye and the pupil of the eye itself facing the screen when it's about to do deathray

golden narwhal
#

ik

cobalt pewter
#

I'm personally heavily on making top eye vulnerable for longer because it's absolutely a fuck to do ML on stealth rogue because of the eye only having an extremely smol amount of time to be vulnerable

crimson pecan
#

the main benefit would be that you aren't waiting as long for the boss to become vulnerable

golden narwhal
#

Ye

crimson pecan
#

waiting for stuff like that is almost always terrible boss design to begin with, nothing new for terraria lmao

cobalt pewter
golden narwhal
#

I like the top eye being something you wait for, until it just drags out the fight ofc hence the sugg

cobalt pewter
#

Just making it open more often with similar deathray timer the more true eyes are out are fine imo

#

Byeah

sleek hornet
#

last sugg sounds like something out of fargo's mod

split stag
#

It would look hella cool though. Imagine dog phase 2, but with solid lines instead of laser shots.

tawny garden
#

That would look weird

split stag
#

I think it would look good

tawny garden
#

No

#

It won't

#

At least not with laser beams

split stag
#

Also the evolution pretty much gives a 50% DR vs DoG, and Arcanum of the Void gives 15%. Making it just damage beams would make that less stupid.

#

Especially once you get the head dodging down.

sand umbra
#

a sugg regulars alignment chart with me being lawful evil is just about the best thing I could've possibly returned to

#

I appreciate this

earnest raptor
sand umbra
#

who are you again

tawny garden
#

should be retired good, retired neutral and retired evil

#

but all three of these categories of people are forgotten

#

so boohoo

cobalt pewter
#

I think I've tried suggesting this last sugg sometime ago

#

Lemme see

earnest raptor
tawny garden
#

:ew:

earnest raptor
earnest raptor
#

The reason for deletion was my usage of emoij in one way, to be exact, to mark reasoning of suggestion.

#

I have inspired dozens of people in those age.

frail mantle
#

i don't think you alone got :ew: deleted

#

you might've gotten it renamed but it was probably deleted cause, like, five people used it

cobalt pewter
#

I saw Over Heaven doe

#

Holy shit

#

jojo reference

tawny garden
#

five people used it
AAAAA: literally used only by me and Rover once every three months

frail mantle
#

8,4k uses throughout the server's history says otherwise

tawny garden
#

that's all a conspiracy

hollow shell
#

(damn, I didn't make it onto the alignment chart)

cobalt pewter
#

Wit a sec

That's better.

@simple fog jungle seeds

HDfailure lmao

simple fog
#

It got approved pogfish

#

Finally jungle seed haven

earnest cape
#

jungle seeds

#

181 stars getting close

frail mantle
#

Meanwhile I watch from afar

tawny garden
#

we also need a wiki alignment chart

#

what I don't understand about the last sugg

#

how can laser beams be stationary

#

that makes no sense

simple fog
#

I think they mean the beams spawn on the screen and stay there, then you dodge them and they expire which is......awkward

tawny garden
#

that's not even dodging

#

if they just

#

appear

simple fog
#

Well they appear there, you dodge the maze for say 5 seconds and then go on

#

it's still awkward though

serene fox
#

wdym by awkward ech

tawny garden
#

imagine a projectile just being stuck to the screen

simple fog
#

Dodging stationary laser wall would be awkward in respect to the current fight's laser beam walls nor does it need change ech

tawny garden
#

also

#

This would give these attacks more visual feedback
in which way

#

how

serene fox
#

The only thing I don't like about it is how it prevents you from dodging another way

#

I don't

#

see how that's beneficial

#

variety in how you can dodge is good

#

it's not like running invalidates the attack anyway

hollow shell
#

I assume it would only be "stationary" for half a second or less, is what they're envisioning

#

A quick blast of beam

#

before disappearing

tawny garden
#

should be in the sugg

hollow shell
#

@split stag ^ This could be clearer.

crude geode
#

@delicate willow contact a tester for this, so they can test it themselves and have it go straight to dev

heady storm
#

Oh look.

tawny garden
#

nerf suggs are better just given straight to testers tbh

#

because experience and common sense tells me that people don't like nerfs and therefore won't star the nerf suggs

heady storm
#

Rebalance suggestions.**

tawny garden
#

I think I've seen only one nerf sugg that had reached the req

#

"nerf the Relic of Ruins"

#

back when it was fuck shit OP due to a bug

heady storm
#

Axe of Purity:
Cryogen: 3:11 (845 average).
Aquatic Scourge: 1:07 (4534 average, 11457 max).
Brimstone Elemental: 3:58 (903 average).
The Destroyer: 4:25 (1908 average).

#

Aquatic Scourge is the only big concern, but honestly mechs also seem really fat.

tawny garden
#

what are the intended kill times?

heady storm
#

Cryogen is 3 minutes, Aquatic Scourge is 2 minutes, Brimstone Elemental is 3 minutes, The Destroyer is 3 minutes.

tawny garden
#

cool

heady storm
#

Byeah, maybe pierce damage reduction to see fit.

tawny garden
#

but it sucks on destroyer already

frail mantle
#

make AS resist it a bit or something

heady storm
#

So give AS more pierce resistance to it.

#

@delicate willow settled, your suggestion is to be removed.

earnest raptor
#

Give AS more pierce resistance at all.

#

Aquatic scourge is a lot easier than destroyer because it doesn't resist pierce even in Death.

frail mantle
#

it does have pierce resist

crude geode
#

Mfw if something pierces infinitely, it does more damage than something that pierces 3 times bruh

tawny garden
#

balancing™️

cobalt pewter
#

Just balance inf piercing projectiles like 1.4.1 jester

#

Lose a % of dmg with every pierce

zealous ridge
#

Yeah AS needs way more infinite pierce resist

#

50% reduction doesn’t sound like enough

#

he’s easy as heck to line up because he just follows you

#

That’s ultimately what it comes down to

cobalt pewter
#

I'll probably sugg to make inf pierce resist work differently, by making enemies with it take less dmg on subsequent hits with the exact same projectile

#

Uh

zealous ridge
#

in any case I don’t think the boss is super interesting so for me I may be the kind of person to ask to make the fight less prone to just a worm chase fest

cobalt pewter
#

@final rock details?

final rock
#

lemme edit

zealous ridge
#

yea ur gonna need details for that

#

because this is a debate and a half

final rock
#

i suck at explaining

tawny garden
#

uhh

#

saved this sugg

#

and uhhhhhh

#

I thought RoD already decreases damage

sharp prism
#

no

tawny garden
#

[[Chaos State]]

red stormBOT
tawny garden
#

ahhhhhh

zealous ridge
#

Used to be a thing

#

During the age of rod balancing

tawny garden
#

Player recieved 50% more damage

zealous ridge
#

If that’s even a thing

#

I don’t know if making it a damage nerf after being used would be amazing, but hmm

#

It would certainly make it more of a desision to use it or not

#

so it accomplishes it’s goal to a degree

#

I’m thinking on how others would feel, though

crude geode
#

Does RoD really need to be nerfed even more?

steel sierra
golden narwhal
#

not even a challenge in the slightest
That's a huge exaggeration ech

zealous ridge
#

fabsol has some wacky opinions, but alright

#

what things get in go through him

crude geode
#

What Asian man said

#

Provi lasers basically require RoD, or insanely good movement. As well as moon lord laser, to a lesser degree.

zealous ridge
#

I can’t say I need rod for either of them

simple fog
#

Please don't bring back the 25% more damage intake when in chaos state in rev+ mode

zealous ridge
#

but it’s a help, to be sure

golden narwhal
#

Dodging one attack every 10 seconds does not trivialise a boss fight if they attack 6 more times in that frame

serene fox
#

why was that removed again

tawny garden
craggy stratus
#

RoD helps with everything, but is never required

tawny garden
#

especially when not in a bossfight

zealous ridge
#

people get up in arms about this, as well

#

Any suggestions about rod are bound to be discussed for a while

crude geode
#

25% more damage intake while on a cooldown for something meant to be helpful is just kinda...counter intuitive

serene fox
#

idk it seems balanced ech

zealous ridge
#

it seems like the “don’t get hit” player’s solution

serene fox
#

.

zealous ridge
#

because even if they take more damage, if the rod lets them dodge a hit or more then the dr reduction won’t matter

tawny garden
#

go to a PC

steel sierra
# bold wave The link won't load

Fabsol said "I actually find it really cool that people can go the entire Calamity playthrough without ever visiting the abyss"

cobalt pewter
zealous ridge
#

it’s greater punishment for failing even with rod, but not getting hit at all is far better than taking less damage from hits that would have hit you without a teleport

craggy stratus
#

The link works on phone too

bold wave
#

Lol you don't need Reaper Teeth to progress

sharp prism
#

i actually remember that convo

simple fog
#

II don't know why it was removed, I believe it was just due to it being unneeded and a little ech @serene fox
I rarely use rod in any boss fights in calamity, since I don't find it ever required as it shoudl be

zealous ridge
#

Sure, it isn’t required

sharp prism
#

i also realized im a idiot for forgetting fishing exists

zealous ridge
#

but you’ve got to balance around it

sharp prism
#

^

crude geode
#

you act like calamity hasn’t made changes to make it more balanced

zealous ridge
#

well, that’s not my intent

#

the current solution, in any case, is unsatisfactory

#

Cause being a traversal tool, the cooldown is actually quite annoying

bold wave
#

If the post-polter abyss weapons don't drop from crates, why should Reaper Teeth before even killing a Reaper Shark?

simple fog
#

I didn't deny it needs a balance, the chaos state can just last longer then, 25% more incr dmg intake needn't occur though

cobalt pewter
#

Honestly? I kinda wanna see some powerful stuff drop at a later stage in crates

serene fox
#

(the cd isn't nerfed outside of combat now)

zealous ridge
#

I agree I don’t think dr reduction would be good

#

wdym

cobalt pewter
serene fox
#

as in

#

the nerf only applies in boss fights now

zealous ridge
#

as in, no using it until cd is down?

serene fox
#

ah you mean that

zealous ridge
#

yes, that’s what I was getting at

serene fox
#

you still can't use it during the cd yeah

#

although the cd isn't as long outside of combat

zealous ridge
#

ofc

simple fog
#

the cd outside of fights is fine, in fights it could be upped to 20, just throwing out an idea

zealous ridge
#

mmm

crude geode
#

@final rock You should prolly change your title to “Nerf Rod of Discord”. Also trivializing boss fights is kind of an overstatement.

cobalt pewter
simple fog
#

Rod is that little annoying thing that shouldn't need balance but it does because vanilla thought it was a fantastic idea

cobalt pewter
#

Just my take on it ig

zealous ridge
#

I could see the cd being shorter if the debuff was something you really didn’t want

#

As in, 10 seconds could stay around

#

20 seconds feels super long, is all

#

1/3 of a potion cd

crude geode
#

1/6th of a normal Magic Power pot
Indeed

zealous ridge
#

which, is a fine cooldown in any case, your idea is valid here

#

what came to mind for me, is a damage over time effect applied by chaos state which does more damage at the beginning of it’s duration

#

and i want to ask how you guys would feel about that

steel sierra
#

i dont think you should be punished for using the rod

crude geode
#

^

zealous ridge
#

that’s broad, can you be more specific

#

because that implies there should be no cooldown

#

“Not punished”

crude geode
#

taking extra damage/having a dot applied is what I think

steel sierra
#

any debuff, including damage, should not be applied to the player for usiing the rod

crude geode
#

You don’t have health drained from firing a lifesteal weapon (at least not good ones.)

zealous ridge
#

...?

#

but it always does

#

Chaos state

steel sierra
#

chaos state works a bit differently

zealous ridge
#

okay, you mean a debuff that affects your stats outside of teles?

crude geode
#

It’s less of a debuff tbh and more of a built in use time.

steel sierra
#

its not really a debuff in the normal sense because it does not inflict anything onto the player

zealous ridge
#

well it does but I think I know what you mean

cobalt pewter
#

Just say "don't further punish RoD use"

zealous ridge
#

just it has no effects outside of rod

#

or teleports

final rock
#

using rod should make you unable to attack for 2-3 seconds after use

#

on reveangence+

crude geode
#

What

final rock
#

no attacking

steel sierra
#

thats another arbitrary punishment

final rock
#

its now illegal

#

yeah nvm doesnt make sense

#

forget that

crude geode
#

Nerf the cooldown, if you’re going to nerf RoD.

steel sierra
#

the current chaos state works because it essentially says "hey play the game as though you don't have the rod for a bit." it just forces you to play normally

cobalt pewter
#

5 minute Chaos State LETSFUCKINGGOOOO

crude geode
#

You shouldn’t be punished for using a tool you have at your disposal. It’d be like having a defense hit after drinking a health pot.

final rock
#

hm

#

rod should be nerfed in rev+ but not below rev

#

i think it should have a 33% increased cooldown

#

in rev and a 50% increased cooldown in death

sharp prism
#

doing that makes the game unfair instead of difficult

crude geode
#

If the player goes through the effort of micromanaging
-their health
-boss attacks
-where their character is
-where their cursor is
I think they should be rewarded, and RoD is a fine reward.

zealous ridge
#

character and cursor position are a micromanagement problem?

final rock
#

^^^

zealous ridge
#

uh... alright

steel sierra
#

anyways, im pretty sure nobody actually tries to optimize rod use by popping it every 10 seconds. most people use it to get out of especially bad situations. its not enough to justify anymore changes

zealous ridge
#

that sounds like an extreme case, yes

crude geode
cobalt pewter
crude geode
#

Honestly, yes, with how slow it heals you, and with the fact you’re not using a weapon (mostly, summoner lol)

steel sierra
#

relic of convergence just seems bad.

zealous ridge
#

maybe but I don’t agree they’re something worth rewarding

cobalt pewter
#

The majority don't agree then, because out of 2 Convergence suggs, none of them ever got delivered

crude geode
#

Honestly, I disagree heavily with the suggestion’s wording, as it implies that all bosses are a cake walk with RoD.

zealous ridge
#

They arent, yeah

crude geode
#

It makes them easier, but it in no way makes them easy fights.

#

@final rock

frail mantle
#

I don’t think a single fight gets trivialized bu the funny pink stick

final rock
#

im bad at explaining ngl

#

if someone can reword it better go ahead

frail mantle
#

Except for the obvious ones like pre-HM bosses

final rock
#

my point still stands that polter is trivialized by rod

#

make a tunnel

#

walk back and forth

#

rod when u get to end

zealous ridge
#

damn

crude geode
#

That’s les a problem of rod and more of Polter.

zealous ridge
#

Video, then?

final rock
#

yes

zealous ridge
#

I mean it would be an issue either way

cobalt pewter
crude geode
#

^

cobalt pewter
#

RoD just adds convenience with the cheese

crude geode
#

Teleporters could do the same thing.

final rock
zealous ridge
#

technically speaking teles do the same, yes

steel sierra
#

cheesing bosses is always optional. the fact that cheese exists doesn't mean it has to be removed

final rock
#

its a cheese yes

crude geode
#

so why is it grounds for RoD to be nerfed?

final rock
#

its not

#

but

#

im just saying

#

you could do it

crude geode
#

...just saying you could nerf RoD?

#

Or that you could cheese Polter.

final rock
#

just saying you can do it with rod

steel sierra
#

you can also do it with vanilla teleporters and portal gun. nerf them too then

final rock
#

^^^

#

jk

crude geode
#

...so because you can cheese a boss thanks to RoD, you want RoD nerfed?

final rock
#

no

#

sd udfbytg eryfd hjierwfdsc ji gjewrtfdc

crude geode
#

Then why should Rod of Discord be nerfed?

final rock
#

because

#

uh

steel sierra
#

are you saying that rod feels like cheese, thus it needs a nerf?

final rock
#

sufre

#

suire

#

siure

#

sure

crude geode
#

Not sure how to do that, besides literally just removing the item/changing it entirely.

steel sierra
#

also, nerfing it doesn't really remove the cheese

#

all teleporters will always have cheese

crude geode
#

If it feels like cheese to you, don’t use it.

zealous ridge
#

if you really want to abuse the fuck out of it then it could feel unfair to beat a boss that way

#

But you have to be really dedicated

#

is the thing

crude geode
#

^^^

final rock
#

forget my point

zealous ridge
#

so not a majority of people will

crude geode
#

You can also just...not use it, if it bothers you that much

final rock
#

okay okay o ipowsdhyuheghdfhuj hewdfvij hjvc; '

zealous ridge
#

yeah ok but I don’t think that’s grounds to defend it from nerfs

#

I don’t have to use best weapon but that doesn’t mean it’s in a good state

crude geode
#

Yes but in this case supposedly the reasoning is it “feels cheesey”, similar to teleporters/current tunnel Polter. Simple solution would be to avoid using it.

earnest cape
#

bosses will always have flaws lol you can't expect devs to patch out everything

zealous ridge
#

in the case of exploiting how bosses and items work, you shouldn’t balance every thing out yeah

#

I don’t think it’s good enough grounds to nerf

#

If you’re gonna ask for something like this you need to dive in, metaphorically speaking

#

You need good points

#

which this suggestion lacks

#

and if you don’t have any ideas, that’s fine, maybe it just doesn’t need changing, maybe it’s hard to say what you dislike about it

crude geode
#

It’d be like asking to nerf bonking with “it trivializes dash phases”

zealous ridge
#

(For the record, more cd and increased damage taken have both somewhat been discussed and I don’t think we agree they’re good solutions, or that they’re needed at all)

#

ehh

earnest cape
#

i agree with cursed being tbh

cobalt pewter
#

totally not joking but make rod and nr channeled in order to be able to tp

zealous ridge
#

Hard to compare that to rod for me, but ok

craggy stratus
#

channeled tp is ech

zealous ridge
#

I’d be okay with that but I don’t know if anyone else would

#

it seems like something that a lot would complain about

#

I know you said it somewhat sarcastically

#

I think...

cobalt pewter
#

I finally made someone question whether what I said is sarcasm

cobalt pewter
zealous ridge
#

I’d imagine it means spending a second or two charging up the teleport

#

before you actually go there

cobalt pewter
#

Something around that for channel

zealous ridge
#

that would be a long wait time

#

and would the cooldown be on top of this?

cobalt pewter
#

are we seriously discussing this btw

#

kekw

zealous ridge
#

When you say relic, I think it also slows the player the fuck down

cobalt pewter
#

No, just the channel mechanic

zealous ridge
#

yeah ok

#

What are we discussing

cobalt pewter
#

Idk

craggy stratus
#

nerfing rod

zealous ridge
#

I don’t... what

cobalt pewter
#

Back to suggs?

#

I actually had something for the crate sugg

zealous ridge
#

well I... what? I thought we were talking about Suggs

#

Oh okay, yea we can move on

#

go ahead, with the crate thing

pine star
cobalt pewter
#

Essentially kinda encouraging crates as a method of farming instead of a way to skip engagements by making the crate loot available later than it usually should

#

e.g. Reaper Tooth in Abyssal Crates post-DoG, even though it's post-polter in general

earnest cape
#

i mean isn't the whole point of getting reaper tooth in abyssal crate is for convinience

#

let me pull up the wiki real quick

zealous ridge
#

grinding reapers is annoying as hell

#

so it’s a convenience thing

pine star
#

It wasn't annoying for me

earnest cape
#

lmao you get more reaper tooth from crates than sharks

pine star
#

Though admittedly, I was using a zerg

earnest cape
zealous ridge
#

depends on how much you invest in breathing

earnest cape
#

that's hilarious

zealous ridge
#

LOL REALLY

earnest cape
#

5-10 from crates and 3-4 from sharks

#

which is

zealous ridge
#

“So let’s just put all the teeth in crates and not in the enemy that drops them”

earnest cape
#

hmm-ing

#

heh

serene turtle
cobalt pewter
#

Oh yeah that's dumb

zealous ridge
#

flip them around plz

cobalt pewter
#

@bold wave maybe focus on this instead?

earnest cape
#

it's REALLY dumb

pine star
cobalt pewter
#

Make Reaper Teeth infinitely rarer from crates

earnest cape
#

^

#

was about to say that

steel sierra
#

whos the guy that killed all the reaper sharks to fill the crates

earnest cape
#

and buff the amount of teeth you get from reaper sharks

zealous ridge
#

5-10 from boss, like 1-2 rarely from crates

earnest cape
#

cause 3-4 from a tough and rare-ish enemy is dumb

#

ye

zealous ridge
#

consider you have early bloom rod

#

and the best bait

#

and basically all of the fishing acc

crude geode
steel sierra
#

as someone who uses the crates for the teeth, can say that it is broken

foggy plover
#

crates already are getting nerfed

cobalt pewter
#

pog!

earnest cape
#

pog

pine star
#

great

zealous ridge
#

How so?-

foggy plover
#

I don't remember the specifics, pretty sure it's just general drop rate decreases

zealous ridge
#

mm

#

alright

earnest cape
pine star
zealous ridge
#

Very nice

earnest cape
#

aqua I see you

unreal viper
#

can you still avoid miniboss encounters?

crude geode
#

Depends on what drops specifically tbh, cuz some things deserve nerfs, others really don’t.

zealous ridge
#

yes

crude geode
#

galactica singularities lol

pine star
#

wait those can be found in crates

zealous ridge
#

but we don’t even know the numbers anyways so nothing to really comment on

earnest cape
#

the arctus astroidean doesn't need a drop nerf imo

cobalt pewter
zealous ridge
#

yea galactica from sky crates right

earnest cape
#

ye

#

1-3?

cobalt pewter
#

This is also what I was saying about reaper teeth earlier

zealous ridge
#

(Kind of funny)

cobalt pewter
#

Technically fragments are available post cultist

zealous ridge
#

(Lunar crate...... ????)

cobalt pewter
#

But they can be fished out pML

earnest cape
#

ah 25% chance to get 5-10 galactica singularity

cobalt pewter
#

Meanwhile you can get Reaper Tooth from crates as soon as you killed Polter, at a stupidly higher amount no less

crude geode
#

You also can get all the astral weapons post Astrum aureus what’s your point

#

It’s incredible variable across the game

zealous ridge
#

that’s weapons

#

Firstly those are weapons with relatively high drop chances anyways

earnest cape
#

the point is you can get more reaper tooth from crates rather than the mini-boss you kill to get them

zealous ridge
#

both methods are easy and get you the same yield generally

earnest cape
#

and you get them with way less effort

#

you just need luck and that's it

zealous ridge
#

fucking reapers are out of the way and you can just use crates and it will always be better

#

literally almost always

crude geode
#

I’m not arguing about that, I’m arguing against Feedzuh’s desires

#

I totally agree reaper teeth drops should be nerfed.

zealous ridge
#

I don’t know what you mean

#

That’s what his desires are..?

#

An example, at least

crude geode
#

He wants things to only be obtainable after they become really useful, such as reaper teeth post dog. You don’t have any use for them then.

crude geode
#

Besides haedopelagic echo.

earnest cape
#

reaper tooth post dog is asking too much imo

zealous ridge
#

probably? Yeah

#

Majority of crafts are pre dog

earnest cape
#

ALL crafts are pre dog

zealous ridge
#

Hadopelagic

earnest cape
#

using reaper tooth that is

crude geode
#

Nope

#

Haedopelagic

zealous ridge
#

yep

#

i mean tbf, who uses hadopelagic HDfailure

crude geode
#

Me

earnest cape
#

I heard it's good

zealous ridge
#

the only example, mind you

#

but it is one

earnest cape
#

and

crude geode
#

Byech

#

I don’t mind things being fishable immediately after they become available tbh.

earnest cape
#

still yeah making it post dog is pretty bad

crude geode
#

Gives alternate way of obtaining it.

earnest cape
#

yeh

zealous ridge
#

the yield is still overclocked

#

but yes

crude geode
#

Post cultist fragments is something I wouldn’t be opposed to tbfh.

#

But it’s not necessary since Astrum Deus also works

zealous ridge
#

why not just pre cultist fragments

earnest cape
#

it also makes it so it's consistent with other stuff like you can get astral ore from astral crates after deus, galactica singularity from sky crates post moon lord, etc

zealous ridge
#

Or pre golem

crude geode
#

Pre golem would be kinda stupid

zealous ridge
#

(It’s already a thing because of tablet lol)

crude geode
#

yeah but you have to intentionally skip golem then

zealous ridge
#

it’s unrelated anyways

crude geode
#

Yeah

zealous ridge
#

yeah, a different discussion

#

one I wish to have but one I have to build up

#

not easy to just segue into

crude geode
#

Frankly I like the fact that fishing crates provides alternatives to farming things like Astrum aureus weapon drops

earnest cape
#

same

#

never used it but hey it's there

crude geode
#

It gives fishing additional things without flooding potions

zealous ridge
#

how effective is fishing for souls, by the way?

crude geode
#

uhhhhh dunno off the top of my head

earnest cape
#

25% to get 5-10 ectoplasm

#

at that point you're better off just farming them manually from enemies

steel sierra
#

not very good

zealous ridge
#

souls, not plasm

earnest cape
#

o

steel sierra
#

king slime farming is far better

crude geode
#

the great thing about fishing is that you can do it while killing enemies if you’re summoner

zealous ridge
#

that is removed in 1.4, but alright

#

Fair for this update

earnest cape
#

defiled crate(hardmode corruption) gives 2-5 souls of nigth with a 50% chance of even getting them

zealous ridge
#

mhm

earnest cape
#

so an average of 3 souls

steel sierra
#

the soul fish only give 2-5 souls

earnest cape
#

whihc is fucking terrible

zealous ridge
#

I just mean, with the transition to 1.4 ks wouldn’t be strat anymore

crude geode
#

Yes but future content

zealous ridge
#

souls only give 2-5

earnest cape
#

just regularly farming enemies as intended is better

#

in 1.4 that is

zealous ridge
#

Yes but I think it’s worth discussing

earnest cape
#

in vanilla I think farming KS is still much better

zealous ridge
#

I’m not going to suggest anything

steel sierra
#

zerg also exists, so fishing is still obsolete

earnest cape
zealous ridge
#

again 1.4 ks doesn’t drop souls

#

it literally doesn’t work

crude geode
earnest cape
#

mmm

#

mm

#

imagine doing summoner

zealous ridge
#

amazing response

earnest cape
#

thank you

crude geode
#

Fantastic

#

Truly I have been defeated as a mage main

zealous ridge
#

how to socalize

crude geode
#

^^

zealous ridge
#

Anyways

crude geode
#

Fishing kinda pog, reaper teeth drop from crates not pog, rod Weirdchamp

zealous ridge
#

ok

ashen warren
#

alright this may be off topic but I have played hollow knight and im wondering if the calamity devs may have some ideas for boss attacks to take inspiration from that game

#

like since scal(&yharhar) is the only boss with a fixed confined space we could add more dynamic like how hollow knight does in limited arena spaces

#

ok an example being these types of telegraphs on the ground before the actual projectile comes out

winter hazel
#

Who wants DoGs best attacks to like completely stop, kinda weird

wary oasis
#

lmao what?

proud field
#

Do you think there should be post moonlord whips for summoners? What kind of effects should they have? I've found that playing Calamity summoner usually entails spraying debuffs from classless weapons while dodging and letting my minions do most of the work.

frail mantle
#

calamity is gonna tackle whips when tMod for 1.4 drops

#

and i think i remember someone mentioning they were gonna add some Calamity whips? not sure

zealous ridge
#

the way I see it, whips should be buff utilities for minions

#

They should have bad or no damage, and would give effects to minions

#

This would be how I focus whip balance

#

I could see calamity just molding summoner to be weird melee with funny familiars

crystal iron
#

About the rod of discord Sugg I kind of disagree, cuz while u can rod out of the attacks it requires some sort of skill, u need to have somewhat quick reaction time and u need to focus on where ur teleporting

zealous ridge
#

but I would dislike it

#

it’s still up?

#

Hmm

#

that’s just me misremembering

#

we had discussed, a lot of people spoke out against another nerf

crystal iron
#

Also she's over exaggerating, it's definitely less than 90% and it does not make bosses easy

cobalt pewter
#

Whip minions to make them stronger let's go animal abuse LETSFUCKINGGOOOO

zealous ridge
#

no

#

not what I meant

#

Flinx fur is bad enough

#

no animal abuse :[

#

more like, whip enemies to make minions stronger

craggy stratus
pine star
zealous ridge
#

Horrible

#

Actually do not

pine star

Are you going to trust the guy who admits he's neutral evil?

eternal escarp

yes

zealous ridge

what

#

I don’t know what that has to do with anything

pine star

#

wow Thats Cool But Why

cobalt pewter
zealous ridge
#

horrid

tawny garden
#

jungle seeds

zealous ridge
#

Anyways no whipping minions

hot zephyr
#

@simple fog Jungle seeds

tawny garden

smh she was already pinged for this

zealous ridge
sharp prism
#

wha

tawny garden
#

I guess Providab and I will stand in the shadows

zealous ridge
#

Ok

frail mantle
tawny garden
#

except I don'r have nitro

zealous ridge
#

Yea bro it’s really unfortunate that you’re not on the alignment chart for random ass people In suggestions

sharp prism
#

philo is put philo in

zealous ridge
#

@ashen warren wrong channel?

#

Oh wait

sharp prism
#

dude

ashen warren
#

Idk how to make stuff bold 😦

zealous ridge
#

Now there’s a title, sorry

tawny garden
#

no, I think he might have something, but

sharp prism
#

you literally go to the mod browser

#

and type "Calamity Mod(No Music)"

zealous ridge
#

I think it’s pretty simple, yeah

tawny garden
#

you don't even have to type anything

#

Calamity is like

sleek girder
#

it's the top mod

tawny garden
#

at the very top

sharp prism
#

then you type "Calamity Mod Music"

sleek girder
#

depending on how you have it sorted

zealous ridge
#

it’s like at the top of popular lol

ashen warren
#

Having never nodded terraria and not even knowing what tModLoader is it took me about 30 mins to get an answer

zealous ridge
#

Fuck really?

ashen warren
#

Yeah it’s not accessible at all for new modders

zealous ridge
#

That might just be a matter of looking in the wrong places

sharp prism
#

understandable, but still quite simple

zealous ridge
#

If anything is really easy now

ashen warren
#

I was looking all over the wiki for a download link or a download tutorial

zealous ridge
#

You just need to download the dlc

pine star
#

oh

tawny garden
#

Calamity isn't a separate thing

zealous ridge
#

and then in-game it’s there

pine star
#

You were just looking in the wrong places

ashen warren
#

I had to redownload discord and look through this

pine star
#

You just needed to download tModLoader

#

And then search "calamity"

ashen warren
#

That’s my point though there should be something on the wiki to help newer players

#

How was I supposed to know that having never nodded the game before

tawny garden
#

there is also a download link on the Main Page

#

for tML and Calamity

#

so uh

sleek girder
#

anyway yeah yharon aggro annoying

zealous ridge
#

it’s accessible through steam now

ashen warren
#

Wait that only shows up if I view on mobile

#

Not on desktop

#

Maybe it gets overlapped when using Adblock?

pine star
zealous ridge
#

so it should be simple to find with just steam

ashen warren
sleek girder
#

ah okay

zealous ridge
#

Okay

#

I thought there was an implication that it was on steam

sleek girder
#

maybe they could put it in #info or something...

zealous ridge
#

But if there was a small thing on the front page “download tmodloader on steam!” That would be okay and non intrusive

ashen warren
zealous ridge
#

It’s an odd suggestion, it feels like it would be better to bring up in wiki

sleek girder
#

well how the fuck would you tell them

ashen warren
sleek girder
#

they'd just look it up

sharp prism
eternal escarp
#

i mean, if people dont have discord, just google, surely theres an answer online

sharp prism
#

^

zealous ridge
#

Idk if he has the wiki discussion role

#

So

ashen warren
zealous ridge
#

Oh wait is that removed

sharp prism
zealous ridge
#

wiki role

sharp prism
#

yeha

zealous ridge
#

Ah

#

okay

#

my mistake

ashen warren
#

Wait I didn’t even see that channel sorry guys

#

It’s buried way below voice channels my bad

eternal escarp
#

well i googled it now

zealous ridge
#

You can move discussion there, yes

eternal escarp
#

the top "instruction" is how to download via zips, so ig he has a point

zealous ridge
#

I’d delete suggestion and talk about it in wiki channels, dnd

#

dunno if it needs to be a suggestion because it’s not for the mod or the discord directly

eternal escarp
#

yeah, wiki discuss is proly the better place for this

sharp prism
#

you actually did it ian

#

:why:

hot zephyr
zealous ridge
#

What

#

Oh shit

hot zephyr
#

For when you just need to ask "why"

zealous ridge
#

not even a fucking explanation

#

I mean, a picture says a thousand words

sharp prism
#

you dont need one for emote requests

hot zephyr
#

Do emojis need explanations? It speaks for itself.

sharp prism
#

iirc

zealous ridge
#

I think it’s just funny

#

he’s just staring at you

distant gyro
#

that can't go through the bot

zealous ridge
#

lol

hot zephyr
#

Bot can't post images?

zealous ridge
#

I don’t think it can, no...?

distant gyro
#

No, the caption

zealous ridge
#

or it posts them separately

distant gyro
#

it will turn into something like Add the why emote, 788450442412949505.

sharp prism
#

sadge

distant gyro
#

because it extracts the emote ID into string HDfailure

zealous ridge
#

Ah the emote doesn’t save?

hot zephyr
#

If you add it to the server before the bot brings it to voting, it'll work

zealous ridge
#

just implement my suggestion

#

before it is voted

craggy stratus
#

HDfailure sneaky ian

sharp prism
distant gyro
#

also I think an explanation is still needed by rule because

#

the unspoken rule of suggestions is that assume everyone has the mental capacity of a peanut

zealous ridge
#

cool

distant gyro
#

just a few lines will do HDfailure

zealous ridge
#

just say “it is a good emote, look at this guy”

sharp prism
#

just put "(real)" as the description

zealous ridge
#

Get real

distant gyro
#

it's nothing like a thomas tantrum-mixed essay

zealous ridge
hot zephyr
#

That good enough?

zealous ridge
#

Would you have to separate the first sentence into the title or nah

sharp prism
#

Add the why emote. For when you need to ask "why" at such a high degree

this is filler text so the bot doesnt break

#

do something like that

pine star
#

I don't think your essays are actually angry

#

They're more exasperated

sand umbra
#

byeah
I'm not mad

#

like genuinely I'm not mad

#

exasperated is a better term for describing how I feel in a lot of my suggs (and in general, to be frank)

pine star
#

yeah

#

Like some of your suggs seem like "WTF? why does this still exist/still be so boring?"

tawny garden
#

Good, cats

pine star
#

yep

buoyant idol
#

Sorry to interrupt, but I just noticed a suggestion that reached 200 stars. It was posted on the 3rd and reached the requirement on the 13th.

cobalt pewter
#

Don't worry, it'll be delivered eventually

buoyant idol
#

Ok

sharp prism
#

most spears have proj's

cobalt pewter
#

Proboscis: slobbyjoy

sharp prism
#

i mean internally they all do

buoyant idol
#

Okay now I just realized I kinda ignored them for boss drops...

#

Man I need to study more before posting

#

I was more thinking like an auric tier spear or just being able to use the vanilla ones as if they were useful.

cobalt pewter
#

Now that spear tips are mentioned

#

I kinda hate it for some reason

#

After a quick read

pine star
#

IMO most Calam spears are fine

unreal viper
#

spear tip + talonitus = death

hot zephyr
#

sad nadir noises

gray nebula
#

what even are spear tips

buoyant idol
#

They are from thorium

#

They shoot a spear tip when you w=swing a spear

#

I realized my suggestion was bad

#

so I'm fine if it fails now

hot zephyr
#

Just rework it to suggest adding more projectile spears

pine star
#

you can delete it if you want

#

Or change it

cobalt pewter
#

Ew Melee™

zenith hazel
#

isn't amidias' trident like godly though

hot zephyr
#

I thought it got nerfed pretty hard

cobalt pewter
#

Ye

buoyant idol
#

Yeah amidas is heavenly

zenith hazel
#

stuff like goldplume, brimlance, terra, ele, nadir, banshee, gilded are also great

#

not sure where you're getting "no viable spears" in calamity from

buoyant idol
#

Never knew there was a terra spear

zenith hazel
#

[[Terra Lance]]

red stormBOT
buoyant idol
#

I never realized spears

#

Ye know what I'm deleting it

#

I need to think more before posting

sand umbra
#

Amidias' Trident is so good that it got nerfed like 6 different times and is still king

pine star
#

yeah

hot zephyr
#

I've never really used it; there's better weapons at it's tier

#

Most notably; Biome Blade making its triumphant return to pre-hm

pine star
#

It's homing and goes through blocks

dapper coral
#

did anyone tell Cirno to un-specific their sugg with the percent numbers yet

cobalt pewter
#

I didn't even see

frail mantle
#

wait shouldn't, like, four of the suggs in posting be in voting by now

#

or am i just an idiot and misunderstanding how time works again

sharp prism
#

3 should

cobalt pewter
#

Bot died™

#

@dapper coral smh

dapper coral
#

looks like a job for me

sharp prism
#

Feedzuh's overloading the bot

zenith hazel
#

I'll report it then

cobalt pewter
pine star
dapper coral
#

okey that's that

sharp prism
#

i like how demik waits for someone to star a sugg then remove his

zenith hazel
#

30 seconds till it goes back up

sharp prism
#

lol

hot zephyr
#

Lemme show you how to scratch it.

dapper coral
#

@final rock your sugg is too specific atm with the percent cooldowns, just say that it needs a longer cooldown instead

tawny garden
#

lol

#

I imagine what these people might feel

#

They post a sugg and are told immediately that they need to elaborate

#

But then bam

hot zephyr
#

RoD & Normality Relocator just need reworks in general tbh

#

Make RoD & Normality both accessories, pls

tawny garden
#

Your elaboration doesn't fit the standard

tawny garden
hot zephyr
#

Because it's stronk

tawny garden
#

Is that a way to balance the thing

hot zephyr
#

In a way, yea

#

They also should be blinks, instead of just teleports

#

IE, you activate like a dash for a short teleport forward

#

With a decent cooldown

tawny garden
#

ech the point your mouse mechanic is cool tho

#

which isn't a strong argument but shh

cerulean estuary
#

rod isn't super duper easy to use

hot zephyr
#

Giving a 360 dash (technically) is super strong

cerulean estuary
#

you have to see the attack coming or have really good reaction

hot zephyr
#

RoD isn't hard to use at all

cerulean estuary
#

it isn't hard no

hot zephyr
#

Even if you can't react in time, you can literally just instantly warp a screen away

cerulean estuary
#

by flicking your mouse and possibly tping right into something else?

tawny garden
#

Unless you're fighting scal

hot zephyr
#

It makes dodging bosses like DoG super easy

tawny garden
cerulean estuary
#

dog is super easy without rod

hot zephyr
#

Eh

#

Rod neuters DoG

tawny garden
#

I didn't use RoD pretty much at all

cerulean estuary
#

dog didnt have balls to neuter to begin with

tawny garden
cerulean estuary
#

and rod does take some skill to use at it's fullest

#

if all you do is spam rod wildly without knowing the boss you're probably gonna get hit more

deft summit
#

oops wrong channel xD

crystal iron
#

I think rod and nr are fine as they are

#

Maybe moving them up in progression would help

#

Cuz for start of hardmode if it could be seen as strong

#

But other than that it's fine imo

hollow shell

on this episode of "Emotes that already fulfill the purpose of the emote being suggested:"

Some to a closer extent than others, but all conveying that sense of confusion/disbelief/disgust

tawny garden
#

not sure about the last one, Rover

terse sundial
#

(Grand return of why for suggestions when)

tawny garden
#

Trashbox talked about it earlier today

#

so funny you should mention that

hollow shell
#

That emote was indeed called :why:, then subsequently renamed to :ew: after everybody used it in their suggestions as a substitute for "Reason:", which bothered some people

tawny garden
#

:why: did it bother them tho?

#

also ffs some other emoji in another server is called that and I get a prompt from Clyde that reminds me that I'm poor

unreal viper
#

confusion disgust and disblief are the most commonly covered emotions by emotes

tawny garden
#

I hope that one day "thonk" becomes a part of Unicode

pine star
tawny garden
#

and gets embedded into the standard

zealous ridge
#

Amidias evasion is a different feel from taxevasion

#

but regardless

#

There are a lot of emotes for this feeling so

#

This one gives me more of a feel of disappointed confusion

whole sedge
tawny garden
#

@ashen warren already planned iirc

unreal viper
#

I agree with the sugg.

ashen warren
#

Cool

whole sedge
#

(isn't this like the 90th time there's been a sugg to expand the underground astral even though it's already happening)

ashen warren
#

Yea I didn't know about the Astral expansion

unreal viper
summer sentinel
#

Yeah it's planned in due time, you can delete your sugg as you wish and no, it isn't in changelogs

dapper coral
#

it's planned in the sense that it will happen

#

but there is no set date

#

it's def not happening this update

summer sentinel
#

But it will happen in the future for the underground astral rework + astral in general and yeah, no ETA

tawny garden
#

it's still future content

zealous ridge
#

mhm

#

fun stuff to think about, in any case

#

always thought a meld pillar in the astral would be fun

hollow shell
#

Would be difficult to pull off considering normal pillars can spawn in the biome

tawny garden
#

let them overlap LETSFUCKINGGOOOO

sleek hornet
#

wait, there is a mod added a new pillar right?

unreal viper
#

tremor

#

meld is a special snowflake so a meld pillar will never happen

sleek hornet
zealous ridge
#

of course it’s not an easy idea

#

and it wouldn’t even work like a pillar, traditionally

cobalt pewter
#

Pillar is a big effort thing no?

zealous ridge
#

I have no idea if you remember this, rover, it was a while ago

#

yep

#

I’m never suggesting it like ever it’s too large

#

and too much explanation

#

the idea would be that the pillar is underground and is associated with deus

#

Underground would be glowing with new enemy variants and such

#

and you collect the meld blobs from the pillar down there and are given something to summon him

dapper coral
#

pillar is just no in general

zealous ridge
#

That’s the idea, and it’s kind of wacky

dapper coral
#

because apparently adding more pillars is literal garbage

zealous ridge
#

of course

#

mhm

#

the coding shit is an ordeal and a half

#

But my point moreso is that it can be a pillar equivalent

#

It doesn’t need to be a vanilla esque pillar

tawny garden
#

pillars are also hated by a lot of people for being dumb

zealous ridge
#

They are indeed

#

There is always a problem enemy in each of them, at least

tawny garden
#

so adding one more is

#

bad

zealous ridge
#

Others have more shit that people hate

#

that’s assuming the enemy quality would be the same

#

Which I don’t know but it sounds unfair to say that any attempt at pillar enemies would be bad, maybe even intentionally

cerulean estuary
#

the other problem with adding vanilla-eque pillars is placement

#

where the hell you gonna put another pillar

#

at spawn?

cobalt pewter
#

hell

tawny garden
#

somewhere at a random location

sleek hornet
#

as Philo said, stack them

tawny garden
#

somewhere in caverns

cobalt pewter
#

Caverns is too tight for something like an entirely new pillar

tawny garden
#

fuck it

cobalt pewter
#

Mans got a free area down there in hell

tawny garden
#

still put it there

pine star
sleek hornet
#

because how pillar (and redcode ofc) works, the hell pillar will just slowy ascending to the surface

zealous ridge
#

I’d think it go underground

#

But in a designated chamber, or structure

#

that would be an extreme case, no?

#

and it wouldn’t even need pillar ai

#

In all fairness

dapper coral
#

if you're gonna speculate on something that isn't a sugg, this is not the place for it

cobalt pewter
#

Ey

#

Bot not dead

whole sedge
zealous ridge
#

was simply a clarification, was not to be continued anyways

#

Also nice

#

The bot lives again

#

how close is the rogue suggestion at the top of posting to being put in voting?

golden narwhal
#

17 minutes

zealous ridge
#

oh fuck

#

well, nice

#

very close

#

I thought it was close, and I guess it would be a good time to mention a thing or two

#

I think it’s a nice idea, I mostly just hope that the replacement isn’t just an item that does the same thing

#

because at that point there would be no reason to not use flasks for that purpose IMO

#

either way, no edits are needed, I hope it gets traction

vapid ivy
#
  1. Make the mushroom biome bigger and more flat. (Crabulon issues for some)

  2. Add some 1.4 items (with terraria’s premission of course!)

  3. Add more lore with the “lore” items

  4. Buff the firestorm (for the spread shot make it muskets)

cobalt pewter
#
  1. Waiting for tmod 1.4 might be the best action.

  2. Wait for tmod 1.4

  3. Be specific?

  4. What exactly does it need buffs on?

zealous ridge
#

first two are definitely wait on 1.4

#

mushroom biomes are larger in 1.4

#

and 1.4 items are literally not allowed to be implemented in mods

#

at least, thats a statement that was made by redigit if im not mistaken

#

if you ask for permission it will be denied, no doubts

#

and if you dont ask, you could have your mod removed, if theyre serious about enforcing it

vapid ivy
white swift
#

how abut when 1.4 tmod comes, add new npc happiness?

zealous ridge
#

yea that would be a thing

#

suggestions about that are not really needed though

#

its beyond the scope of what the channel is for

#

they are donts

white swift
#

ok sorry

zealous ridge
#

its fine

#

it is just not required rn

#

when 1.4 comes out whenever it does, it will be worth suggesting stuff for the mechanic

#

a right click on lore items wouldn't be that bad

#

for reading more in depth

#

but at the same time, i dont want it to feel like a slog yknow

vapid ivy
#

Yeah because its just a pain to close or minimize the game, go to youtube, and read the lore someone posted

zealous ridge
#

it serves a similar function to log entries in other games

#

for instance, metroid prime

#

with scans being saved with more specific details being up to read if you wish

#

at that point, though

#

it feels more like a bestiary tab

#

than something to be incorperated into the lore items

#

because, in essence, what is the purpose of lore items? especially in light of the bestiary adding lore for every mob

vapid ivy
#

I never knew that existed

zealous ridge
#

their main function, at least in 1.4, would be the buffs and nerfs they give

#

your suggestion to expand the amount of lore readable in-game would be a feature better fit for bestiary, methinks

#

which would mean waiting on 1.4

vapid ivy
#

Now i just have a question

#

Is the solution for every suggestion just wait on 1.4 tmodloader

#

Becasue thats what your radiating basically

golden narwhal
#

It is when it involves 1.4 taxevasion

dapper coral
#

if you're suggesting things that are 1.4 related, the answer is gonna be to wait for 1.4

golden narwhal
#

The "lore would better fit in bestiary" is not a bad point either

vapid ivy
#

Why do i even try to suggest crap in severs anymore

zealous ridge
#

well for the record the firestorm thing isnt a 1.4 thing

#

and its just a matter of "its hard to say what will be done here, we dont even have a tangible reference"

cerulean estuary
#

why would you go watch a youtube video on the boss lore after every fight

zealous ridge

if you want to know that much just watch it in batches after you're done playing

#

its nothing against the ideas, its just hard to say anything accurately about how things will change

#

suggestions in these channels make themselves out to be about the current version of calamity, which is why things related to content that isnt implemented yet are hard to really justify

#

generally speaking, it would be better to discuss future content like that in...

#

gen talk or cal talk?

#

idk what would a mod suggest

cal talk works

#

thats what id think, i was just thinking if moderators had a specific opinion

#

yea depending on who youd ask itd be general or cal talk

zealous ridge
#

okay, thanks for clarifying

#

again, what i heard secondhand

#

removed content could be broadly grouped as "unobtainable" on lower versions

#

but thats a big ass stretch and a half

#

so yea
