it looks like it's choking



Providab told me off once for not having patience right when I started to sugg stuff
did i
@civic notch Go drop your Anahita feet calculations, we need them for our next suggestion
wtf
I think that was even berfore you got cooldude
I might be mistaken
could be
Maybe one day we'll get a Thomas or Feedzuh CD 
as flattered as I am I sincerely doubt I will ever get CD
Same case here
on account of I have exactly two reasons for being here

Thomas easily has the dedication and activity required for CD
but not the... respect
If you insist.
Nonsense, just stream MGR and it'll fall into your lap
I will never get CD because I decompiled the mod
Now this is my problem. my laptop can't run MGR:R
one is to yell at people for havin' terrible ideas that they put into suggs (and to subsequently explain how to make those ideas not terrible) and the other is to flex on people in othermod because I actually program most of my ideas instead of just sittin' there and waitin' for somebody else to make them real

"10 steps to get CD INSTANTLY"
I got MGR:R recently and haven't played it yet so I'll see how that goes soon
- cover yourself in blue
pog
"That's my special attack, you're blue now." - Fabsol, to AquaSG.
Ten dollars, Kirn is next 
Oh wait, aqua already cd?
yes
Indeed
What's our next topic?
Suggs?
Finding new names for
?
:uselessemote:

Somebody suggest to replace Permafrost's "Delicious Meat" item with him just selling Bacon outright, because the item is identical to Bacon and Bacon is already vaguely ice-themed due to Pigrons.
disapproval
Yes
No
Wait can't you just sugg it in dev rover 😳
Everyone wants Permafrost's delicious meat.

maybe.
Lotta the dev suggs are like, big organizational changes
^
Not all of em though
I would even maybe combine enchanted metal and frigid
Either way ping me if there's anything interesting, gonna do a yoyo review doc this time

oki
Or just combine frigid and cryonic
I need three paragraphs on why Aorta sucks ass
You don't
Fuck the specific opinions, I already prefaced everything I need in the first paragraph
Short suggs, remember
I am goin' to lose my mind
So all I need is to just
That's the doc
Cryonic metal is already awful theming-wise please don't merge it with Frigid
You only get 2 paragraphs
Thomas, these people do not remember our glory days, when Versatite was a thing.
I hated the name so much
now there's a metal that makes me wonder what Daedalus' work was like
Cryonic is just like
"here"
"have a metal that we're too busy doing literally anything else to actually make not cringe"
Ian and I talked about this but the difference between cryonic and frigid is such a blur
Frigid bars are shit though tbh
They're practically the same material
real talk:
Just combine both and make it Versatite
Philo. My stealth strike doc is about 29 pages in Google Docs.

rebrand Frigid Bars to Enchanted Ice and give it actual goddamn usage
cut Enchanted Metal it is WORTHLESS aside from dumb mech summons
make Cryonic metal not specifically post-Cryo and rebrand it back to Verstaltite
he showed the devs how to scratch it
I will kill you
What
Feedzuh me boy
I need you to do me a huge favor
Break up the 29 page doc into many, many 2k word suggestions
I could sugg the doc, but no one reads docs in suggs
That's why you put it in a chart
Make enchanted ice spawn in the underground and cavern layers then
Also I know too well that average suggestion reader doesn't give a single bite-size fuck about stealth strikes
1 point font picture
I swear to god
Suggestion voters be like "haha kitty picture. star" "grrrr shrine look bad, star"
So I gotta man up and throw docs to devs every now and then
kitty pictur gud
why are all of you making this so much more complicated than it needs to be

Do you really wanna refight cryogen every single time for frigid
Have perma sell it idk
make Cryons drop the shit post-Cryo then
or Ice Golems or other significant Tundra enemies
or, better yet, add new enemies
"why are you all making this more complicated" you literally suggested a 300 word suggestion about renaming a bar
Works for me
y'know like actual post-Cryo stuff
Okay I didn't follow this actual talk, what's about it
that's par for the fucking course have you forgotten who you're talking to 
Frigid and cryonic need to be merged, or changed, or something
Rn the blur between the two doesn’t work
I am the undefeated king of making things infinitely more long-winded than they need to be
Why say many word when few word do trick
because few word doesn't prove point
Wasn't that the point of Verstaltite sugg?

many words in long, quick succession do in fact provide and prove a significant point which people will then resonate with and proceed to apply a star reaction to
You think people read long winded suggestions?
no
They've got the attention spans of goldfish
Yeah, but there is also the problem with enchanted metal
I think people read the top like 2 lines
and then they're like "okay this is cringe" and don't star it
Why the fuck are there three bars in Cryogen tier
either that or it's like the Verstaltite sugg where people are like "okay this is actually good" and star it instantly
why did that sugg reach 200 in under a week
that is the first successful sugg I have had in like two months and it was barely under character limit, and it's about a tier nobody cares about
Because it's a sore spot in the mod
are you kiddin' me
i can say that we have the attention span of goldfish as i read that and got distracted
Whatever is going on, apparently I know how to get suggestions passed
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've done everything from essays to 2 sentences
well whatever I did apparently I struck a chord with people that I didn't even know was possible
I genuinely did not believe anyone cared about it half as much as I did
clearly I was misled

I have 10 passed suggestions out of 15
It comes up like every mp I do
and all of them suck for their own separate reasons
Exactly
Cryogen tier is literally a discussion I have every playthrough
Ench Metal straight-up is only worth a fuck for boss summons and shouldn't exist
It’s well known that it’s a problem
Cryogen tier is the "wtf why"-est portion of the "wtf why" section of the game (mech stage)
Frigid Bars could stand to be not-bars and could stand to have actual uses since Cryo lacks meaning unlocks right now (discount Cryonic/Verstaltite for the purpose of this prompt)
and...well, I think I already covered Cryonic well enough

I think Cryonic works fine as a Cryo unlock; but Frigid is hageworthy
bruh
Frigid is also a PAIN to get
you really want me to believe cobalt with crystal shards in it is better than legit just fucking ice
for the ice boss to unlock as a material after the ice boss dies
Gathering it doesn’t take refighting a whole boss at least
I think that's the section of cryogen-adjacent shit that's the least borked
Give it a fresh coat-o paint, add the frigid bar recipes to it, and then call it a day.
Speaking of which Ian we gotta refight cryo for moonlight
Yes kill it
Nuke it

I'm pretty sure I've suggested the death of Ench Metal like 4 separate times
and all 4 times it failed because people are too fucking attached to easier mech summons
It's going bye anyways
Hell, if mech summons being easier to obtain is the big issue, just make Steampunker sell mech summons 24/7
seriously, just play the video game you spent 20 bucks on, god damnit
I think that we could keep easier mech summons without uh
Whatever the fuck enchanted metal is
TBF thomas, mech tier takes FOR FUCKING FOREVER
yeah and none of that is because of mech summons
Yeah nohitting mech tier gets frustrating
It's the shittiest part of the game, takes waaay too long, and then Calamity wedges in three bosses, two ores, and an event stage in it.
Since summons are ungodly to get
it's because you spend 12 and a half years fishing to get actual stuff
I know this because it was originally part of my item recpie and Ozz said it was better left out since it was getting removed
Ian how long have we been in mech tier again
For probably 2/3rds of the PT



We still are also only halfway done with mech tier
I mean technically we've passed it
I wanna kill all bosses first
God I want to suggest some mech tier changes/rebalances
I wanted to suggest the Delicious Meat - Bacon thing myself but I've hit a snag
Delicious Meat is cheaper than Bacon. Bacon sells for 1 Gold and Delicious Meat is purchased for 50 Silver (sells for 10 Silver)
...why is this important
literally just farm Bacon from Pigronatas or Pigrons
Then I suggested it and got approved on the 2nd try 
I'm pretty sure you can actually get infinite money out of PIgronatas if you have like 10 to start with
Bacon would be sold by Permafrost for 5 Gold if left default
Would anyone buy that
yes
No
people would buy that in a heartbeat are you kidding they buy Enchanted Metal for 3 times that price
Do people buy Enchanted Metal?
Yes
Yes
you'd be stunned
Wow
Why do you think people were so pissy about the suggestion to remove the shit
How much money do these fucking people have to throw around
that 45 Gold per summon item
Rover this is Calamity
Farming DS on Armageddon is a thing.
you can just slap Armageddon on and cyberbully like DS or KS or something
Arma is part of the problem
you get like a platinum coin or more per fight
Ah yes
Three answers with Arma in them
also you can farm EoC, EoW, or BoC
Until the devs say "fuck you, grind longer for money you plebs"
evil bars are fucking unholy levels of profitable
DS has like 10-40 gold per treasure bag
Spoilers, we're solving Arma farming
It's not spoilers, we know 
You didn't know tom?
I don't know how much has been revealed
no I didn't
Ian, Feedzuh, how much do you know
Sayonara, bag bonus
Wtf, am I missing for something or is this just paying 5 gold for an easily obtainable buff
You can just fish for bass and make that fish dish
Or go get some stew from the abyss
I can tell you right now that Bacon is worth every penny of that price in 1.4
Yo Lime lets go vibe in the distortion world
do you people know of the god-awful hellhole that is 1.4 food balance by the by
Fishing is super easy and doesn't take long but people fucking hate it for some reason
I actually like fishing but I'm an outlier
it's great
Don't start.
Because it's slow
Also that Ozza screenshot is technically outdated
Until you get multirods
i feel a thomas rant about how a fancy worm is better than most things by far
too late I'm starting (and then immediately stopping because this is the wrong place for me to ramble for an hour about food being stupid)
anyway
bacon
You could also make pumpkin pie

Exquisitely Stuffed, by the way
is this
point being, even if it doesn't seem worthwhile right now, it will be worth every fucking penny of that price in 1.4
((also Delicious Meat is not a material))
ye
Bacon is stupid good in 1.4
Pumpkin pie is 10 pumpkins and gives the well fed buff for 45 minutes
I said don't start, Tom. You'll drive #suggestions-discussion to a land of 11 herbs and spices of disaster
Why does being stuffed make you move faster?

okay fine

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm KFC
Glad they balanced the fuck outta that in 1.4
That's a question we've asked anywhere
Pumpkin Pie is 8 minutes
I have already gone down this road before and it ends
badly

to say the least
The time me, tom and some others talked about it, it was...absolute chaos.
:(((
We are that nerd that shall suggest the nerf
the nerf is already said and done
just wait for 1.4
pie is dead
and so is fish for that matter
Yeah but I’m saying until 1.4 there is no reason to sell bacon
1.4 fucked up a lot of the game
1.4 also unfucked a lot of the game
^
Dungeon.
But since Tom started it, lemme introduce you to the rabbit hole of 1.4 food hell
the law of equivalent exchange
Pumpkin pie was pretty fucked
Negativity bias killed 1.4 
to receive something good, one must first give up something of equal or greater value
get on the dark skin you fool
probably not
Hah
(What's the issue with that, Feedzuh? Just the surface-level absurdity?)
Don't get hopes up
Rover, whatever happens, please don't let the 1.4 dungeon make it in
(it gets really bad, Rover)
Empress with modded netcode 
(do not let us start on this it will go for an hour)
(Grapes are a 1/40 drop from Derplings and Flying Foxes, and you need 2 per juice)
Just get the gravedigger shovel and shut up
A "grape juice" stuffing you. Sure.
c'mon that's just a nitpick
there are so many
I
I need to leave I cannot afford to go on this rant
not in here
good bye
🛫
Party Girl Bathwater. Need I say more?
And so that was the last the Suggestors had heard of Thomas
Rover this is beyond nitpick, this is some advanced hell if you'd delve deeper
Legend has it, he's still ranting to this day.
Having to fight polterghast in 1.4 dungeon

Okay but you didn't post advanced hell you just posted a nitpick
Having to fight polterghast in 1.4 dungeon @civic notch
Fair enough
fair, I don't wanna start making this channel 1.4 food review
Fuck polter
yeah arsenal furniture woo
A fine suggestion
if it was bad somebody would notice it
building variety pog
Usually this one is more of an unanimous agreement
so you good
Byea
Its a full repost
Arsenal furniture? Lime, it's 4 PM time to spend an entire day building an expensive base again!
Remember when
Remember when both of us missed an invalid sugg when it went into voting
More like watching you build while I play with the lights
crap
Indeed
Acid Rain tier 2 doesn’t feel that valuable for certain classes
mfw rover makes a sugg 
a very pog sugg
I was fine with the sell price thing after I noticed that Pho is also buyable for 50 Silver
Who buys pho tho
I do early game if he has it
Raises hand
Weird
people that don't like fishing and get it early on
Pho is hella good early game honestly
Actually usually I buy it every time he has it because it's cheap
What do you guys consider early game though
just
'buy, nom, cool i am buffed'
it's fairly cheap even by earlygame standards and gives a buff for a nice, long time
Rover sugged 
enough to hold you over until you can consistently fucking fish at least
(ignore the fact that pumpkins exist their days as the meta for food are numbered anyway)
Since every single sole well fed buff item becomes obsolete after Eye with pumpkin pie
Oh ok
I've actually never crafted Pumpkin Pie, funnily enough
(I understood what you meant the first edit
)
Probably because I always play with Luiafk so I just need to buy 30 Phos or Pad Thais to have it infinite.
Oh yeah that’ll do it
byeah
Pumpkin pie is real good
I'm going to kill Ectoblood if no one says otherwise
bruh I already tried
people are too attached to their easier farmin'
I tried like three times and none of them worked
despite a few months difference and a rewording
I even went for a compromise the third time
Let me try.
It's a bad item and needs to die
(this one's different at least... it's less #suggestions-voting message )
at least you agree with me, Solstice, but glhf getting that to pass
I have tried 3 separate times
Okay, I'll tru
I have yet to succeed
If I get more votes than you I'll call that a victory
I'm pretty close to just like yellin' at Dom or someone to talk about it in dev directly and skippin' the sugg process altogether
I don't normally do that but this is an exception I am willin' to make because Ectoblood seriously needs to perish
it does nothin' except make an easy-to-farm material even easier to farm
and in the most borin' way possible too
literally even one Ectoplasm-related enemy that isn't a fucking bootleg Dungeon Spirit would be fine 
yes I'm indirectly harping on Phantom Spirits and I will gladly do so further at some point because they're literally just Dungeon Spirits but again
(but that's a topic for another time and another sugg)
anywho it's like half past 2 this is typically the part where my 3 brain cells start yelling at me to fall asleep instead of actually functioning
so I'm gonna bounce now and we'll see how this does I guess
goodnight
🛫
Goodnight

@heady storm brunge sugg


@somber orchid References for the sake of references are not allowed for suggestions
What Rover said yeah.

I don't care about pings unless they are for absolutely no reason or I'm in the chat already.
Understandable

It's not for the sake of references, really. It's more thought as a nod to a a landmark franchise, which isn't that uncommon in Calamity. Perhaps add the Masamune as a long range, high speed stabbing sword, functioning much like a very fast spear, but being a sword.
a "nod" is a reference
....
That'd fill an interesting gameplay niche as well
No SIS either
It's too specific as well, yeah.
^
Read pins for the love of fried chicken thighs
Go check out the Suggestion Don'ts google doc in pins
Gosh, the rules sure have updated since last time I was active
Take a trip through the "don'ts" doc
If you are really dedicated enough, donate $50 to Fab's patreon before the end of this month.
Yeah, I see that. Else you would be flooded
They wouldn't exist if people didn't suggest them vehemently and unsuccessfully enough to the point where we needed to make a ruling against em
That said, spear style weapons as a whole sure don't get much love
Compared to swords, yeah I agree
Everything turns into projectile swords or big swinging hitboxes
A style focused on mid-range fast damage dealing and spacing, with knockback that only keeps enemies slightly at bay and a focus on armor penetration wouldn't be a bad idea
There could be some good items integrated into that, as well. Maybe a phalanx type thing where multiple players equipped with it using spears in close proximity get bonuses to attack and defence
We will get the new jousting lance weapon type in 1.4, which are spear-like
so that could open up opportunities for us to add weapons of that variety
Well, I'm gonna sink back into the murky depths now. Maybe the rest of you can shape that into a good suggestion. Xeroc knows spears need more love
aight
Lances and spears are very different weapons
One being a cavalry weapon, and the other an infantry one
(oh I thought you meant from a gameplay standpoint, which would also be true)
Theyre practically the same in the game
Lances deliver damage through momentum, rather than penetration
Ergo, lances would be a mounted option
Just the difference is the lance has a mechanic where they get more damage the faster you are
yeah
but like, the damage difference is huge
literally 10x damage at top speed versus standing still
Of course. A cavalry lance to the chest is far more dangerous than a light jab with a longspear
Heh cant wait for the lance suggs once tmod comes to 1.4
At any rate, in real life spearmen were deployed en-masse. That could be worked in well here. Also the fact that spears were braced against cavalry charges, so a spear stab could do more damage the faster the opponent is moving
It'd be a nice flip of the coin
(shoutouts to TheBlackHand. Dunno where he's gone off to)
The deep abyss
Well, I shall now vanish. Peace out

Someone please @ me when 64bit tmodloader is a thing again
@ Soldin it's a thing

it didn't byeah

lol
I do prefer getting straight to the point, guess I did it too quickly here.

I operate in a timely and efficient manner 100% of the time, yep
Added the daily limit to the Sugg Don'ts, under Suggestion Practices @proper grail @zenith hazel 👍
also you should rewrite the weapon balancing sugg bad practice
cause these are yeeted into <@&580087475980992523>s' faces now
Didn't rover already mention that in the docs
Pinkie added a note about it
ah
yeah, that's what I'm saying
If we have indeed decided that there should no longer be any balance suggs
remove the "kill times" crap
... in which case, shouldn't there be a channel dedicated to balancing reports?
Hmm
I'd still allow them
just that beta testers lurk here often
or they may be pinged
Maybe just keep it here so that there's not much channel bloat?
Alright

people could still post them into #suggestions-posting and when the nerf/buff is approved/rejected by a tester, the sugg is removed from posting
Note 1: A

a

Feedza shitposted in suggs ban
(I was thinkin about the one with the deep sea whale thing)
🔫
oh god Rover why do you put double spaces 
no, just do 4 linebreaks as this guy #suggestions-posting message 

Unfortunately the testers' names aren't readily available to users in the same way that moderators and devs are
Not sure what to do about that
make the role pingable 

You'd be testing their patience

@ tester
smh you do <@&580087475980992523>
who called? 
Feralthorn Claymore is definitely dogshit according to celest
@tawny garden After a few tests, tbh you need a bit of a nerf, your average DPS is fine but I get way to massive of damage dursts when using you.

omw
omw to add philo item to hage mod
I thought yoyo bag upgrades were a dont
they are
Rover exclamated that iirc
Every


this is very relevant to suggs

I think there were actually ideas made for this, right?
it may be happening but I’ve only seen sprites
Yeah
The sugg about reskinning the shadow chests in abyss was approved
I vividly remember it leading to a trainwreck of Abyss suggs
about 8 or so
new suggestion: Completely overhaul the Abyss
Delete the rest of the mod, just have the Abyss
Expand it into a full game
Separate it from Terraria
Call it "Subnautica"
DIE
Abyss does not need to be more like subnautica
It already “borrows” eidilon wyrms, reaper sharks, stealth and breath
It literally is intended to be a giant Subnautica reference
just make it so if you enter the abyss it opens subnautica
Good idea
it's kinda failing at that then
just have tons of wrecks
and a bit of lava at the bottom
yeah it’s terrible at being a sub reference
It needs funky terrain
I know it fucking is, but it’s not fit to work in terraria by most accounts
the way it is now
sayonara, AEW
to be fair, it is better more recently
I remember the fucking old eidilon sprite
as well as the concept of adult-juvenile creatures
which is something directly referencing subnautica
in this case, at least
(Of course subnautica did not make children, it just has the same idea in its ghost Levis)
Abyss is getting a large upgrade.
but in the Abyss, the Adults are more aggressive, while I found subnautica's juvenile Ghost Leviathans to be more aggressive 
well that’s bc the juveniles show up in ghost river, a tight ass zone that you almost have to traverse
The only two adults on map besides void are in the open parts of the blood kelp and grand reef
and in the void they’re aggressive as fuck
so I’d assume that’s the implication
(I was swimming around the adults (and there are 3* of them inside the map) in mah seamoth and they didn't seem to care as much)
fuck are there
and 1 in one of the Blood Kelp Zones
Either way they’re rarer, in harder to reach spots, and they’re also just big as fuck in open areas
it may just be a case of random chance
might be
as in, they just decide they dont care enough
in any case
Abyss is a bad approximation of Subnautica
it is, and I think it should stray away from that inspiration if it is to get a bit better, imo
yeah, cause the world is too narrow to contain a proper subnautica reference
sunken sea works much better as a sub reference, actually
fuck I couldn't do a Fermat joke there properly
Abyss does not need to be around to fill the same idea
no
@zenith hazel

also read the doc in the pins
BINGUS PET DIE
just a bingus pet
no meme suggs, thanks
cool
until December 31st iirc
Or just make your own pet
make the bingus mod
Bingus pet more like
pet
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it already existed

heiy anybody know how calamity gonna handle summoner with whips
No idea
It’s a ways off, and suggestions aren’t really needed right now because of that
suggestions based off changelogs isn't allowed, counts as future content
@glossy stone
What does that mean ?
The changes you mentioned aren't in-game yet
And you're supposed to sugg anything you can directly experience
I know what my next suggestion is gonna be
Otherworldly stone doesn't change design when hammered, even though it changes hitbox
That needs fixing
Isn't that more fitting for #bugs-read-pins?
It's not clear if it's a bug or not
In fact it's part of the notes section on the wiki
or it might not be supposed to be on the wiki in the first place
ig you can make the sugg for now and then bug a wiki person to remove it from the wiki if someone tells you it's a bug
I'll wait until I don't have two suggestions already in voting 
Yeah our policy doesn't allow bugs on the wiki
Unless it'a a really prominent bug that can cause severe damage
Well Sand is stumped, that's a good sign
It might just be that there aren't any sprites for the hammered block
Or in the changelog pages we put all bugfixes
i think the sprite for sloping exists...?
i think what doesnt change is the carpet
because otherworldly stone has a weird layer of carpet or something on top
it happens with ueli brick, as well
I have no idea what i'm talking about
certain weapon that focus on debuff should not trigger summon penalty
is that what you mean
yeeeaaaaah your sugg is all over the place
i suggest you reword your title to "make classless weapons not trigger summoner penalty"
and then focus your sugg specifically on this, and not on how it impacts SCal (which is kinda random) and not on getting an cursed-flames variant of golden gun (because that belongs in another sugg)
what doesn't?
I only know that SCal is immune every debuff except Ichor, Cursed, and some minion debuffs
Golden Gun, Marked Magnum, Lunic Eye
And one classless weapon that crafts from Aeralite
They doesnt trigger penalty
Aestheticus
for bad water jokes
And some Guardian weapons but who cares they doesnt inflict debuff
pretty sure the portal telegraph was kinda toned down last update, no?
like there's a longer delay between the laser walls ending and the portal charge
can you provide a video example? @finite drift
Yes
I think after portal telegraph player has 3-5 seconds to react
Or more
Like 5-9s?
lemme record this
few minutes
make sure you're up to date too
i do
Portal telegraph spawns under the player?
near to
1.5 hours later, I've finally confirmed that the sloping issues are bugs and they've been added to the doc
I mean
You could see him on the map overlay the entire time
the portal is that far away? last time i play, it was about 30 blocks away
Might be better to get a clip from closer to the end of the fight, when he's faster?
yeah seems like a just fine reaction time w/ the map overlay
Why change Yharim's crystal
It's already a gigantic fuckin laser
If giant lasers aren't interesting to you then your interests are lame
is melee unoriginal because they're all swords?
yoyos, flails, spears and throwable melee weapons: 👀
A weapon's function is not the same as the weapon
Mage is known for its diversity
Hence why like 3-4 tentacle magic weapons irked me
mage's cohesive element is pretty much that it's weapons dont follow a cohesive theme
while melee is about close range, or more specifically spacing
And actually. Yes. Most of Melee™ is boring because it's mostly projectile shooting broadswords
or ranger is just fuck you track enemy
mage can cover many ranges with many functions
simple =/= boring
That's invalidated in many of Terraria's major content mods
Mage but better™️
but in my opinion its at least what it should be
yknow
rogue similarly is something inbetween melee and ranger
with both tracking based weapons and spacing based ones
ends up being a mess, often
Yes
simple doesnt always mean boring
they are distinct in their applications
what matters more is potential
when i say projectile broadswords have little potential, i very much mean it
it should not be as large as a "subclass" as it is
arguably, longer ranged melee weapons are required due to how terraria works
i think projectile swords are by far the laziest and least interesting solution
spears are somewhat similar, if their main thing is just shooting a simple projectile
but at least they have aimability and bonuses for being closer, while still offering more distant damage
or any damage at all
Either way, magic is advertised as a class with massive variety in weapons
And having something like Yharim's Crystal (which is post-Yharon) doing exactly the same thing as Last Prism (post-ML) with no changes mechanically aside from color is kinda irky
At the very least, Dark Spark does something unique in regards of being a Prism weapon
This also goes with almost every single "tentacle" magic weapons (based off Shadowflame Hex doll). If I'd remember correctly, these should be Eldritch Tome, Tome of Fates and Augur of Elements (excluded SSV because it's somewhat unique)
God the tentacle weapons are boring for me since the particles barely render
So it's just underwhelming
They don't even perform too well
Abyssal Tome beats Eldritch Tome by a long shot
Tome of Fates is pretty fucking meme considering the amount of better magic weapons at that point
And Augur dies to Effervescence
fates doesnt make much sense
abyssal is just way more utility
for its block phasing and long range
augur also is guegh
guegh
lmao
Either way yes
I would suggest reworks to these weapons, but they're less of value compared to Yhermes
(excluded SSV because it's somewhat unique)
no SSV is excluded because it's the wrong fucking type of weapon for being in that list

Jrjdkfkfkvkkv
wait, what are we talking about
we're talking about how 3 distinct Chinese bootleg Shadowflame Hex Dolls exist in Calamity
and how all of them suck

ah i didnt see the (excluding SSV) thing so i was just confused as to what was being quoted
i see it now
yeah ssv was never really a tentacle weapon
was more like typhoon before
but now its distinct in many ways
as in its component tomes are almost all super boring
I think Event Horizon is one of them and that one's cool
Augur is awful lmao
I'd suggest reworks to these Chinese bootlegs, but like, they're less valuable than Yharim's Crystal (which started all this), and I bet my left testicle no one knows what Tome of Fates does when reading the sugg
nobody knows or cares what Tome of Fates is aside from crafting into Augur of the Elements
lmao
fucking brimstone tentacle???????????????????????
why brimstone, why is it still pink iirc
Tome of Fates is ancient iirc
I s'pose people just never got around to reworkin' it
because xeroc was the first armor
im actually so surprised it wasnt touched at all
i literally was like, making a suggestion to rework tome of fates
this was before rust and dust
The time when I actually went to make a magic weapon doc (which is Soon™), I'll be dissecting these weapons to even the teensy bit, nitpicky details

and if i recall it was before fucking final dog resprite
and i said "rework it its stupid as hell"
but i was given the response of "we're reworking the set, so wait on it"
and we got a bunch of fancy ass sprites but almost no functionality changed across any of the weapons

for the record, i dont mean to discredit the work that was done, at all
the sprites are great
What's Star of Destruction originally was again?
they are massive as fuck but they are good
star of destruction hasnt really changed
No the name
Oh huh
Alr 
entropic claymore, shard of antumbra
Those are the renamed ones then
Byeah, a bit off topic now, point is, why shouldn't Yharim's Crystal be different from Last Prism?
It drops from Yharon, at 1% chance (directly, not from the bag, so fuck all them bag cheese bullshit), and Void Vortex has something unique going on despite dropping at a higher rate than Yharim's Crystal
Only reason is
the weapon type is moderately difficult to work with and the devs have other priorities
Indeed, I'm not saying when they should do it, rather why shouldn't they consider doing it
Don’t auric wings already exist, in the form of Drew’s Wings?
yeah
thats generally the arguement made
I don't really think reworking it to be different would be difficult anymore, but there are other things to be dealt with atm, yeah
Yeah, I doubt making this unique would be extremely hard in the hands of the programmers of cal, so yeah, all that's left is priority

No reason not to give Drew's Wings some buff with Auric Armor
(the fact that both are already strong af on their own maybe?)
Is there a reason to use Drew's Wings on their own instead of crafting it into tracers?
I personally do it to avoid my horizontal mobility being fucked, and a few more flight time
Though that's a weak one ye
I actually prefer Elysian Tracers, they seem easier to control
Drew's wings offer like 1.3 extra seconds of flight time iirc.
Flight time is a meme stat
and I like the look of drew's wings better 🤫
Vanity slots exist
Tracers have the i-frame memes, which (even if it doesn't work atm) puts it an edge over Drew's
Drew’s wings are just solar right?
white solar wings
I know celestial are not, but they’re gross as hell
yeah that’s what I thought
this item has existed with a recolored sprite for its entire existence
yeah but I like it
(Absolutely Fabulous)
make no mistake
solar wings are fly as hell
Pun intended
but I mean you could use solar wings dyed white??????
I don’t think they should look like fucking
Celestial dorito wings
I think someone was respriting it actually (but then died)
they don't look like doritos. they look good
well celestial tracer wings
by respriting, I mean like 3 months ago
you like them?????
I hate the way they look comparably
I don’t think seraph or Elysian will win any awards either to be fair
but celestial is way too large, and the flapping animation looks bad
A problem with many calamity wings, actually
although it is a subjective matter anyways
Celestial Tracer wing sprite is hot garbage
Really banded and poorly shaded
But nobody's bothered respriting them
(I think there may have been one attempt in the past year, maybe year and a half?)
unfortunate
It is unfortunate.
fellas, can we get a Godslayer Gravity Thruster In chat
Best wings in the game look cruddy, and the second best is a vanilla recolor
excited for that
Here's the last resprite attempt
And it was closely rejected because of how stringy and odd it looked
It almost got accepted
Ah, I do remember this
I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just replace
there is no way I ever believe in 5 million years that more people thought current celestial was better than this
even if it wasn’t the best option
It was in fact exactly half and half
which is still a rejection
(or at least it was at the time it was submitted 10 months ago. Now it would be a 🔄 reaction, tellin the spriter that it was close and could be accepted with an edited resubmission, but in its current state would not be accepted)
something like this
isn't smooth enough
also for some reason if I stare at that animation for a bit it looks like it's rotating
(aw man, the copy-paste got rid of my italics formatting)
rip
@heady storm ↑
Not a big deal, I just used it to emphasize some bits
What stuff was italicized?
It's fine
Has Amber given a reason why the bot sometimes fails to approve even though it's online?
Nope.
tbh
@ashen warren I demand explanation
if she knew the reason she would probably fix it
Unless it was some inherent Discord problem
there aren't many of these
Apparently finding issues with the software she uses isn't that easy.
certainly not with sending messages, cause it's like
the most used api functionality
Alright, it's not with sending messages
The bot is fully stalling
notice lack of highlight on left
That's odd

maybe it's a problem with the library she uses
cause afaik she doesn't use js
nor python
also that was like the first time in 4 and a half months that I posted smth in posting 
i'm pretty interested to see what impact the mobility survey results will have on the mod, hopefully it does something about tracer dominance and defines unpopular choices better
not sure if a bloodflare+godslayer wing sugg fits anywhere now though if the whole mobility system is already being inspected
Godslayer wing is coming.
source?
