#

this is why I say that debuffs that decrease defense and/or DR are mostly situational
you're not going to get much worth out of them if the thing you're fighting doesn't have significant enough defense/DR

steep island
#

that's still doubling every single source of damage that enemy takes

shell drift
#

yes

sand umbra
#

I'd say like 20% increased for 4-5 seconds is good

#

enough for it to make a difference but not so much that you nuke everything ten times harder than you already do

steep island
#

apply flash and switch a high burst damage weapon like eternity or something

#

rinse and repeat

shell drift
#

"And in a flash of light, nothing remain" except most things, they can stay

sand umbra
#

actual weapon switching strats

#

pog

shell drift
steep island
#

or actually

#

even better idea

shell drift
steep island
#

25% increased damage from all sources except DoL's blades

#

for the debuff

shell drift
#

Oo, yesss

#

synergies go brr

steep island
#

so there's actual brain thinking involved in using it

sand umbra
#

yee

steep island
#

(switching weapons after flashbanging)

crude geode
#

Rebalancing is ongoing

shell drift
#

This is mechanic changing

#

not so much balancing

crude geode
#

Then you need permission from the dedicatee

steep island
#

that's me

crude geode
#

Rad

tawny garden
#

:imstuff:

steep island
#

i think giving the flash more damage and applying a debuff that makes enemies take more damage from any source except DoL's swords is a good idea

shell drift
#

should I edit my suggestion to include a debuff, or make a new suggestion entirely

pine star
steep island
#

google im stuff

pine star
#

oh

grim tusk
steep island
#

yes!

#

exactly

shell drift
#

brain think required

grim tusk
#

As if Fabstaff + enrage wasnt broken enough CalWheeze

sand umbra
#

fun fact: support/setup weapons are not only perfectly legal to have but often greatly increase the skill ceiling

steep island
#

i love weapons that require you to think to use them but reward you appropriately

steep island
#

make a new one

shell drift
#

ok

grim tusk
#

Yea delete the other one

crude geode
#

Couldn’t Zach also bring up the idea of changing the weapon directly, being the dedicatee?

steep island
#

I guess I could yeah

shell drift
#

||do it pzl||

grim tusk
#

Yea it would be better

steep island
#

I would like to see what the community thinks of the idea though

grim tusk
#

And will drastically increase the chances of the change being accepted

crude geode
#

Gauging public opinion on a dedicated weapon is kind of a moot point imo. What’s more important is the dedicatee’s thoughts about their own item, but to each their own.

tawny garden
#

eh

#

he knows best

steep island
#

(no i don't lol)

#

I like the idea but I don't want the change to be added without other people sharing their opinions on it, whether it be from a suggestion vote or verbally in this channel

crude geode
#

I think that makes sense.

tawny garden
#

(I meant, if you want to see what others think, it's your choice)

steep island
#

👍

shell drift
#

Give the dance of lights flash a debuff

As it stands the flash is very weak and rather pointless, having it apply a debuff would help to aid in this issue.

"Blinded by the light" (name subject to change)
Increases all damage taken by 25% from any source except the Dance of Light

This would greatly increase the skillcap as you will need to plan your weapons around switching them to deal massive dps, (like ichor but endgame)

steep island
#

i think better wording is "Increases all damage taken by 25% from any source except the Dance of Light"

#

other than that looks good

tawny garden
#

(specific kinda)

shell drift
#

well yeah but its about a specific weapon

safe oasis
#

that's not really good reasoning

#

just because it's a specific weapon doesn't give it any higher chance of an extremely specific debuff getting accepted

steep island
#

if the debuff becomes one of the main points of using the weapon I think it's fine

cobalt pewter
shell drift
#

in the end its up to Zach as to whether or not it gets changed

steep island
#

also there's like

#

multiple weapons in calamity with specific debuffs only they apply

#

see: Yanmei's Knife, Snap Clam, Shellfish Staff, Time Bolt, Aestheticus

#

3 of which are dedicated items

cobalt pewter
#

mm

#

Byeah asking to the devs directly for the change should be fine I think, considering they're kinda close to rebalancing the hell named BR anyways

steep island
#

if the suggestion doesn't get accepted but gets close i'll ask a dev

tawny garden
#

BR(uh)

hollow shell
#

So, the specific name and numbers in the debuff is okay cuz Zach approves?

#

Fair enough if so, this just hasn't really happened in this way before

tawny garden
#

I still don't like it

cobalt pewter
#

ok and?

tawny garden
violet sierra
#

also I guess me including both options was fine

#

I couldnt decide which was the better suggestion so i just included both lol

safe oasis
#

tried it, failed horribly

dapper coral
#

it will never happen

#

it was attempted

safe oasis
#

meme channel for a server for a game that has a mainly younger audience, could imagine how that goes

dapper coral
#

and devolved into porn and stuff almost immediately

safe oasis
#

especially in a server this big

dapper coral
#

@vale vale

#

sorry to say, but ya gonna have to find another place to put your memes

#

because they don't belong in this server

#

ima just yeet the sugg since it's not gonna happen

tawny garden
#

This is worse than I thought

dapper coral
#

i'm pretty sure that's what happened, anyways
i wasn't there but that's the hearsay

#

the opportunity for memes was given, and things far worse than memes were received

cobalt pewter
#

Wasn't this rejected?

#

Or did I forget smth

dapper coral
#

time for searching

safe oasis
#

doesn't he already drop mushrooms

#

and that's like all you need for shroomite

dapper coral
dire loom
#

yea but chlorophyte is kind of a pain to get, i see ur point tho

dapper coral
#

seems like this was the original

#

ages ago

dire loom
#

oh it was rejected

#

ah well

dapper coral
#

there's no harm in suggesting it again, though

safe oasis
#

for current sugg, why though

dire loom
#

ye

safe oasis
#

wiki exists for that reason

dire loom
#

the new suggestion is just

#

vanilla doesnt do it either

sleek turret
#

why literally give an advice of "are you sure that you want to fight this"

dire loom
#

experimentation is fine

safe oasis
#

and that'll also get really annoying when farming

dire loom
#

if you get killed, youll know to practice and get better gear

sleek turret
#

because its literally like implementing terms of service option to every boss spawner

#

people will ignore it

ashen warren
whole sedge
#

Most boss summons you have to use intentionally also..? There's very few bosses that I really think you can even "accidentally" summon really confus

ashen warren
#

It only appears once

dire loom
#

sure but like

#

why

safe oasis
sleek turret
#

why

whole sedge
#

And a warning doesn't really mean anything as you can still first try the "hard" bosses even with it

ashen warren
dire loom
#

i think that with some hard bosses names alone you get what your into

#

anyway

sleek turret
#

Its like Terms of Service.

#

They will just ignore it.

safe oasis
sleek turret
#

EoC but thats rng dependant

safe oasis
#

what happens for moon lord and plantera

#

i only know skele and eoc

sleek turret
#

ah

#

forget that

#

mb

safe oasis
#

oh ok

shell drift
cobalt pewter
#

Then don't use specifics ig

#

Just state something about the light thing giving a DR cutting debuff on hits

hollow shell
#

Yeah you don't need to say 25%

shell drift
#

thats what zach said tho

hollow shell
#

Okay

cobalt pewter
#

Zach can just specify that when he requests the change specifically to a dev

#

Suggestions aren't meant to be overly specific for cal environment

safe oasis
#

"but zach said" isn't really a counter

#

just because it's good enough doesn't mean it can't be better

tawny garden
#

remove it

#

afaik even Zach can't say much if 25% ends up being unbalanced

cobalt pewter
#

At least the concept should work just fine

#

Without numbers and name

tawny garden
#

yeh

buoyant idol
#

@ashen warren

safe oasis
#
  1. “it’s cool”
  2. boss sugg

both of these are not allowed

buoyant idol
#

Please remove

ashen warren
#

k sry

safe oasis
buoyant idol
#

You were typing

safe oasis
#

fair

ashen warren
#

its fine

#

my bad

#

i didnt know that wasn't allowed

safe oasis
#

no worries

#

check the pinned docs for future reference

buoyant idol
#

Dont forget to read the rules next time

ashen warren
#

k

violet sierra
#

tbh im not the biggest fan of buffed bosses. they dont feel difficult even with the buffs

fossil finch
#

because the buffs are only stats

fresh sun
#

Weird how DOG can fly in space but can't divebomb in his first phase

#

Like how does he fly an entire 10 light years but not have the ability to fly 100 km

fossil finch
#

wtf who told you 10 light years

#

for much we know, deus could perfectly have been close to terraria when he stroke it down

shell drift
#

buffing bosses doesnt make them harder @dire loom

#

mechanical changes to the bosses are what makes them harder

hollow shell
#

Thas not really his point

#

It's more comparable to the Bloodstone bosses than the Mechanical bosses

shell drift
#

tru

#

having carbman be more useful would be cool

#

as farming mushrooms the intended way = pain

heady lichen
#

I've seen this sugg like 3 times, imo there's no real reason to not do it considering the demand from the community

violet sierra
#

I dont like the bloodstone bosses either

#

i saw a good sugg but i dont think it caught on

#

which was to move Rav and make it the bloodstone source

heady lichen
#

yeah, Thomas's sugg

#

honestly not sure why the community isn't for it

#

but tbh, not much is going to change from the suggestions channels anyways

pine star
#

Idk where it is now

#

And I starred it

whole sedge
#

Buffing crab seems like a meh idea to me especially compared to bloodstone as Chlorophyte starts growing since the beginning of hardmode so if you don't zoom to post-plant at the speed of fast you'll likely have enough to make some shroomite plus he already drops glowing mushrooms Shrug_DRGN
Plus this mod needs less emphasis on farm bosses imo

shell drift
#

the suggestion channels are a little broken imo

#

you cant be too specific

#

but you cant be to broad

#

and it cant require too much work

fossil finch
#

well yeah?

#

they are supposed to be that "perfect"

whole sedge
#

Suggs aren't really also supposed to be huge things and more so focus on small things as if suggestions held most of the power for new content in the mod well it'd be a mess ralseidead

fossil finch
#

indeed

whole sedge
#

Really your purpose as a suggestor is to suggest small changes so the devs don't have to think so hard on what small things to change so they can instead focus on new funny bosses to fight et cetera

hollow shell
#

Can't be that broken considering we get multiple valid suggestions every day

fossil finch
#

bruh

#

yeah i think it's there because uhh

#

leviathan=cool pog guy that made nohits and stuff
levipet=reference to him
so=locked behind hard things (because he used to do them)

#

don't think it'd get changed, yeah

violet sierra
#

Yeah, its just a coincidence that theres a boss with the same name

fossil finch
#

i mean the pet does look a lil bit like levi byeah

rancid jasper
#

so...

fossil finch
#

it's an ultra hyper cross references

rancid jasper
#

FABSOL IS FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

violet sierra
#

ive never seen the pet actually

fossil finch
#

lmao

violet sierra
#

but either way

#

nope, i like how it is

#

this aint it chief

rancid jasper
#

at least say Fabsol is fabulous

violet sierra
#

no because i dont know them

shell drift
whole sedge
#

Yeah and that's a good thing..?

hollow shell
#

" If so, use code word "Fabsol is Fabulous"."

#

what

#

aight whatever

#

Yes, you need to get Leviathan's permission to make a change to this

fading silo
#

So it wasn't rewarding

rose latch
#

don't you just have to defeat scal on death mode

shell drift
#

@rancid jasper what you mean by "use code word: fabsol is fabulous"

#

like what

shell drift
hollow shell
#

Maybe

#

Could fit in either

earnest cape
#

my sugg's fine right?

#

just making sure

shell drift
#

looks fine

#

short and to the point

earnest cape
languid temple
#

Can we suggest a rework for a weapon that's in 1.4 just wanna know

frozen hornet
#

Future content so no

#

don't worry about anything in 1.4,the devs will do something when tmod 1.4 comes out

languid temple
#

K

#

That you for answering my question

sand umbra
# whole sedge Really your purpose as a suggestor is to suggest small changes so the devs don't...

I'm gonna be as straightforward about this as I know how to be, because I needed to go to bed about 30 minutes ago to get my sleep schedule back after Disney, but basically:

the purpose of suggestors isn't to mention only small changes so that the devs don't have to pay attention to the shit they've already made, in fact it's quite the opposite
the main point of suggestions, given the current system's limitations and encouragements, is likely to help improve upon the stuff that's already there by making recommendations on how to change it to better suit the direction the mod is going --- whether those changes are small or large is irrelevant as long as they fall within the suggestion rules

#

it kinda falls apart when you realize suggestions nowadays don't tend to get anything changed unless they're like really small or already planned but, that's a completely separate can of worms that, while I am willing to open when the time is right, I absolutely will not open up at four in the morning

#

so, with that little spiel said and done, I bid you all a lovely night

frail mantle

🛫

tawny garden

gn

earnest cape
#

gn

eternal escarp
#

i assume you didnt finish the sugg

#

just a reminder, it should be a single message

#

title
description and reason

tawny garden
#

@snow oxide ^

snow oxide
#

i put the reason

#

i had to edit it

eternal escarp
#

thats spaces

#

not a line break

snow oxide
#

what is a line breaak

eternal escarp
#

to make a line break, you do shift+enter

snow oxide
#

ok

eternal escarp
#

its
this
thing

#

remove the spaces and make a line break instead ye

snow oxide
#

there

#

i fixed it

earnest cape
#

is it even possible to do that

snow oxide
#

idk

#

i just think it would be cool

#

i could have made it a this or that thing but

#

i think the other thing i would've wanted is in the dont area

tawny garden
#

"would be cool" isn't a great reason

snow oxide
#

its just really annoyyin]\hg

earnest cape
#

also it's "side by side" and "minute"

snow oxide
#

same thing

earnest cape
#

no it isn't

snow oxide
#

basically

earnest cape
#

it really isn't

snow oxide
#

whatever

#

people will know what the words actually are

earnest cape
#

anyway @vocal grotto is it possible for draedon power cells from the factories getting redirected straight into charging stations

frozen hornet
#

Maybe let wires or something similar connect them both

vital condor
#

You could just let them build up in the factory

#

and put the whole stack into the charging station

fading silo
#

I don’t even use the draedon weapons cause of the charging system.

#

I mean I used the summon cause it only uses charge when you summon and not when they attack, but that’s pretty much it.

eternal escarp
#

kinda missing out, most of them are prty good

fading silo
#

Yes they’re powerful, but due to me being inaccurate with aiming, it would be a waste of time to make the batteries just to charge up again.

#

I can keep the machines running

#

I just don’t like the weapons and that’s a me problem.

#

@snow oxide quick question. How frequently are you charging your weapons?

vital condor
#

you can get down to like 40% charge and still have 90% total damage

#

down to 6.something% charge and still have 50% damage

#

taking the gatling laser as an example, it takes 3 minutes of continuous fire to reach 40% charge

#

and almost 5 minutes to reach 6%

#

so you really don't need to charge them that often

agile bolt
#

Seems like a weird suggestion to me, i mean, i never have to refill the station even 2 times during a single playthrough

#

I just need a single full stack and im good to go

wispy river
#

moonlord should drop a summon that summons true eye of cthulhus that shoot lasers

fossil finch
tawny garden
#

"DoG should drop a summoning weapon that summons Devourers of Thots to fight for you"

#

er

#

Cosmic Guardians*

fossil finch
#

i think the best part is the fact they never suggested anything

#

they just said that and left

tawny garden
#

lol

fossil finch
#

nah they didn't leave the server

#

it was discord loading poopoo

violet sierra
#

ok but like

#

actuqlly though

#

no but like actually that would be sick

cobalt pewter
#

Isn't that just

#

Mechworm

#

But not actually worm minion AI

#

But actually still worm minion AI

#

So bad?

violet sierra
#

i mean

#

i imagine this would be more than 1

#

and also im not actuqlly makong a sugg

#

im just saying that sounds cool lol

river glen
#

hmm

#

can i suggest something about to rework mana and mana flower

#

since mage is pretty much absolutely anchored on it

eternal escarp
#

mana as a whole?

river glen
#

pretty much

eternal escarp
#

sounds uh

river glen
#

since if u dont have mana flower

eternal escarp
#

too big of a sugg

tawny garden
#

that's too big a rework

#

yea

river glen
#

ok

#

i guess not

eternal escarp
#

also mage works without mana flower fine if you have good regen

river glen
#

u have to stand still

tawny garden
#

(though do say what you meant by it)

eternal escarp
#

not really

#

i tried regen mage a bit and it worked out great (a bit better then flower in some cases)

safe oasis
#

all cases*

sleek turret
#

mana flower is decent

#

if you like constant damage ofc

river glen
#

i htought mana has a snail regen speed while moving

eternal escarp
eternal escarp
river glen
#

well, i do

#

but it still feels slow

dapper coral
#

if you use mana regen pots then it ain't too bad

safe oasis
#

mana regen potions remove the moving regen penalty

eternal escarp
#

ye

tawny garden
#

I used Mana Regeneration Potions/Auerus Cells throughout the playthrough

eternal escarp
#

byea h basically

dapper coral
#

you just have to not attack for like 2 seconds max

eternal escarp
#

mana rework sounds too big

tawny garden
#

up to pre-SCal I think

dapper coral
#

and you get all your mana back

tawny garden
#

or somewhere around there

river glen
#

i will give it a try

#

maybe ive just played vanilla to long

fossil finch
#

i always use mana regen pots instead of flower tbh

#

i don't like sickness
Say what you want, i believe strongly stacking up to 50% less damage is worse than waiting like 2 seconds

eternal escarp
#

((((it is))))

safe oasis
tawny garden
#

the Mana Flower effect is incorporated into Ethereal Talisman so I just used that at that point

#

also because I became unimaginably lazy

sleek turret
#

I like Mana Flower and constant mage damage too, but I can agree it has less damage output than regenerating mana with mana regen potions.

ashen finch
violet sierra
#

Regen mage is totally viable, i cant imagine playing with Flower

sleek turret
#

I play with it.

river glen
#

i guess im wrong

sleek turret
#

Its uhh, weird.

river glen
#

i never thought regen mana

#

was viable

#

because i always figured it was to slow

fossil finch
tawny garden
#

I've played with both

violet sierra
#

Mage has such high damage because you either

Have mana sickness
Have to stop attacking occasionally

sleek turret
#

That's the debate.

ashen finch
fossil finch
#

well yeah but like 3 of them

#

idk lets call stealth god
atFeedza

sleek turret
river glen
#

isnt celestial cuffs a good option

#

or nah

earnest cape
#

its alright

violet sierra
#

in vanilla, sure

#

but in calamity bosses doo too much for it to be viable i think

sleek turret
#

it requires you to be hit

fossil finch
#

celestial cuffs is, indeed, god

#

you get hit for like 50 damage and it recovers like 200

tawny garden
#

I played badly so it helped HDfailure

violet sierra
#

also if cuffs is your mana

#

Adrenaline HDfailure

sleek turret
#

but getting hit for a 100 damage can give you 300 mana

cobalt pewter
#

Reworking mana regeneration to not be bootleg stealth would be nice I think

fossil finch
#

just get hit as you activate adrenaline

tawny garden
#

smh

fossil finch
#

trolling

violet sierra
#

Anywaays you guys have fun with that talk, i like mana as it is but im never opposed to change so

grim tusk
cobalt pewter
#

I personally like what Overhaul plans with mana changes

#

But that's a lil offtopic

sleek turret
#

yeah its off-topic

violet sierra
#

oh right its in sigil of cal

#

I forgot

ashen warren
#

I made another arguably probably useless suggestion, but at least the soul icon could help the player practice on easier modes

river glen
#

he is pretty predictable

ashen warren
#

but ridiculously fast

safe oasis
#

wouldn't an audio cue work better here

#

like a roar or something

ashen warren
#

but i can still admit my suggestion sucks

fading silo
#

Nah

#

I've seen worse

safe oasis
#

that's not encouraging at all kekw

fading silo
#

It's not as bad as suggesting music

eternal escarp
#

a specific attack
should say which one
a soul icon that flashes means the DoG
might be wierdly specific?

fading silo
cobalt pewter
ashen warren
#

When a soul icon flashes, it means the player should move before they get hit by the boss

eternal escarp
#

audio is better since you dont need to move your eyes away

safe oasis
#

why do you think nobody notices the color changes in dog fight

fading silo
#

When the second phase hits and the DoG doesn't spawn when the beat dropssuffering

safe oasis
#

visual fight cues don't work well unless they're like really obvious

eternal escarp
#

audio uses a different sense therefore less overwork on your eyes and makes it easier to know it happens without looking somewhere else completely

#

also yes

#

DoG BG already does this

#

it shows when he is aggresive

#

no one pays attention to it

#

(someone suggested showing it even, showing how not many know about it)

#

byeah

ashen warren
#

Charging

fading silo
#

Hmmm.

eternal escarp
#

then mention the Charge instead of "specific attack"

#

and the "soul blahblah" sounds prty specific

fading silo
#

Soul?

eternal escarp
#

could just ask for any kind of cue, then put examples to how the cue can be done

#

a soul icon that flashes means the DoG is gonna charge at that specific area

#

this part

fading silo
#

Are item change suggestions allowed if the reasoning is well thought out?

eternal escarp
#

its better to be broad and just ask for a cue

#

depends

ashen warren
#

I already changed it.

eternal escarp
#

change as in, balance?

#

or change as in, rework?

fading silo
#

I'm just curious.

ashen warren
tawny garden
#

everything is allowed (except if it's in the doc)

fading silo
#

except music ofc

tawny garden
#

just not balacing as it is being done already

eternal escarp
#

i feel it

#

this one message kekw

fading silo
#

Eh. Not many read this channel....

eternal escarp
#

byeah balance sugg are a nono currently

#

reworks however

#

are prty fine, aslong as theres a good reason obv

tawny garden
fading silo
#

Ok.

eternal escarp
#

yeah, thats what i meant philo lol

#

outta context kills people

tawny garden
#

fixed

eternal escarp
#

good

#

humanity saved

ashen warren
#

Yes indeed

lyric vessel
#

Btw hi

fading silo
#

You can put more than that.

lyric vessel
#

Ye but

#

I need to charge my gausse dagger fast

fading silo
#

Use other weapons tho?

lyric vessel
#

Ye

#

But i just started my playthrough recently

#

And got quick meteorite and aerialite

#

Then raided a underground draedon station thing

#

And a sky one

lyric vessel
fading silo
#

Or just use those weapons when necessary and have the machines running as you explore the world.

tawny garden
#

isn't it done in 1.5

#

yes

cobalt pewter
#

352 - The Rev+ increased Nurse price as you progress now applies to all modes (will be removed in 1.4 anyway because 1.4 has this feature).

tawny garden
cobalt pewter
#

Indeed

tawny garden
#

@twilit warren

twilit warren
#

nice

safe oasis
#

i don't think that's the point

#

he's saying like complete removal

twilit warren
#

oh wait

safe oasis
#

not the price ramp

twilit warren
#

its just price

tawny garden
#

mm

twilit warren
#

the prices in 1.4 are still quite low for what it provides

tawny garden
#

should prolly specify in the title that by nerf you mean that it's disabled

#

(unless only I am dum)

twilit warren
#

i can see that

#

trying to find a way to fit it into the title

#

there

tawny garden
#

a bit clunky but it works

twilit warren
#

yea

eternal escarp
#

wait i just noticed

#

terraria has an easy more in 1.3.5?

#

am i missing smthn?

twilit warren
#

i dont think so no

#

its a nitpick but

#

just got me confused kekw

snow oxide
#

ye i saw that to

tawny garden
#

oh lol

#

@ashen warren there's no "easy" mode

fading silo
#

So. I have a suggestion about the rover drive. I want to suggest that instead or along with the added 10 defense that there should be a chance or not of the shield taking a hit instead of the player getting hit because....it’s a shield.....is this a don’t?

#

I just don’t want to write for a good couple of minutes just to be shot down

cobalt pewter
#

Not exactly

#

It's not a don't ig

grim tusk
#

Another dodge ech

#

And pre-hm

cobalt pewter
#

But I do feel like Rover Drive is a bit inconsistent

grim tusk
#

^

cobalt pewter
#

Not bad, just inconsistent

grim tusk
#

But it good

fading silo
#

I was going to add a cooldown so that it wasn’t completely busted. Also I could add an indication of when the cooldowns are done.

cobalt pewter
#

There's no way to know when it'll pop up

safe oasis
cobalt pewter
#

It'll just do

fading silo
#

No. The thing has a 20 second cooldown apparently

safe oasis
#

remove the question mark from title too

#

otherwise good

fading silo
#

I could add consistency to the suggestion

fading silo
#

Also wulfrum rovers aren’t that common

grim tusk
fading silo
#

I was going to say with a 30 second cooldown for the shield hit

grim tusk
#

Considering you are proposing that it should be pre-hm black belt

#

And dodges are stupid strong and being reworked next patch

#

To be more consitent, and guess what, black belt is becoming exactly what you are proposing

fading silo
#

...

grim tusk
#

Heck the reworked black belt has a longer cooldown even

fading silo
#

Fine half damage or 1/4 damage reduced

grim tusk
#

Thats far better

cobalt pewter
#

You're making a bit too much outta Rover Drive imo

#

It only needs a way to be consistent in use

grim tusk
#

1/4 dmg is prob enough but yet top much for a pre-hm accs

fading silo
#

It’s just 10 defense for 10 seconds with a 20 second cooldown. That’s all it does.

#

Rn

grim tusk
#

Yea current rover drive but more consistent would be far better

fading silo
#

So basically suggest a more consistent rover drive?

grim tusk
#

Yes

fading silo
#

Can I add slight knock back resistance?

#

Like a smidge

grim tusk
#

Sounds good

fading silo
#

Ok

#

Off I go

#

There

#

I tried not to make it sound like a lot of work, but I might have failed

safe oasis
#

this just makes it worse HDhurdur

fading silo
#

How?

safe oasis
#

you can only get hit once then mega cooldown

#

like pre hardmode bad flesh totem

fading silo
#

I can change it to something else.

#

What would make it sound better?

#

It could be take one hit. That hit is shielded. Then cooldown

crystal iron
#

woulnt that make the 10 defense like, completely uselss, you get hit, then the sheild goes away, completely disregarding the 10 bonus defense it gives you

fading silo
#

Hmmm

crystal iron
#

also, this might just be me but maybe replace "would" with "could", just to make it sound less specific ,but idk

cobalt pewter
#

These are

#

Extremely specific

#

For a rework concept

fading silo
#

...

#

Too much?

#

Btw. The / represents options or I can separate each one

cobalt pewter
#

I can't put it into text yet but like

ashen warren
fading silo
#

Here let me separate each idea. Maybe that will help

twilit warren
#

autopause helps but its not the only reason its overpowered

cobalt pewter
#

Seems like the numbers aren't really an example of how the concept works, instead it sounds like they "should" be like this

#

That kinda deal

fading silo
#

Well. The shield is inconsistent

#

So it’s kind of unavoidable with this Suggestion

cobalt pewter
#

It's not really unavoidable at all, you can propose on how the rework entails without stuffing numbers

fading silo
#

I fixed it

#

Lol

crystal iron
#

still might want to repplace would with could

fading silo
#

Where?

crystal iron
#

where it says "the reork would be"

fading silo
#

I just noticed

#

Thanks

#

I still have that other idea, but I think this suggestion is much better than what it was when I first posted. Thanks for the help.

#

Also. I don’t think it has an actual debuff indication so that could be added...maybe

fossil finch
#

make the planetoids more barren. it feels like thats how thyre supposed to be, i mean, theres loot left behind, turrets installed, etc etc but no life, so expanding upon the notingness would make the planetids more exciting to explore

#

what

#

since when was nothing exciting to explore

whole sedge
#

Yeah I don't see how that's making them more interesting..? furthunk

fossil finch
#

terraria exploration is so lackluster precisely because the world feels fucking dead

fair ledge
#

Yeah surely youd want more things to explore

fossil finch
#
  1. make variants of planetoids. they all look near identical.
    i mean uh
#

they already use different blocks and shits

#

the only solution would be unique shapes there and uh

#

iirc, all planets are round

#

so uh

fair ledge
#

Also true

ashen warren
#

Unique Music hage

#

As if it doesn’t already exist

fair ledge
#

Yeah theres already other mods that add in Blessing of the Moon(?)

clever canopy
#

Tbh most of the reasons to explore in terraria aren’t because of blocks, background or music but for loot

#

If planetoids had unique loot then people would visit them more

violet sierra
#

the planetoids are incredibly useful

clever canopy
#

In the very early game yes, but after a few hours of play they’re pretty pointless for progression purposes

#

Biomes like the abyss, the underworld and the dungeon work because the content they have is locked behind certain progression, making you visit them more often

ashen warren
#

Planetoid loot could be more unique, yes. But I think the current loot on them already makes them a worthwhile visit.
Next update iirc is letting luminite spawn on planetoids so that’s there

clever canopy
#

Yeah I don’t think it’s a massive deal and wouldn’t make improving them a priority

whole sedge
#

I mean really planetoids imo are kind of fine and they already do have pretty unique loot of the lab that's unique to them plus of course the easy accessibility to early game ores and gems which gives them that use of one of the best ways to get early game ore armors and gem staffs etc BlepDev

violet sierra
#

the herbs and planter boxes

#

are a godsend

whole sedge
#

Really everything on the planetoids are people just seem to not use them for some reason though, even if you don't want the ore armors and such selling those bars is a nice way to get a large chunk of cash to instantly give to goblin scammer also.

violet sierra
#

Scammer getting regulated in the next updated

whole sedge
#

it's almost like that's why it was strikethrough'd Regardless though planetoids still kind of have unique and very helpful loot you just actually have to realize what you can do with them. Stuff like getting Exodium Clusters easily is also amazing too Dab_DRGN

hollow shell
#

@ashen warren Small thing with your sugg
You mention an "Easy" difficulty alongside Normal and Expert
There is no Easy difficulty, Normal is the lowest

tawny garden
#

(I pinged them for that several hours ago, no response)

#

(so they're prolly asleep)

hollow shell
#

Ah well

ashen warren
#

Also diamonds for free magic storage HyperFailure

whole sedge
#

I mean exodium is kind of unique to planetoid minus its wacky recipe that i despise and Cinderplate but yea

hollow shell
#

@twilit warren Do you not know about the Rev+ Nurse price scaling?

twilit warren
#

The most it would cost is 9 gold and by then you would most likely have 100s of platinum

hollow shell
#

Look closely

#

Prices are multiplied by 5 during boss fights

twilit warren
#

It’s still really not that much

hollow shell
#

That's half a platinum every time you try to nurse cheese during SCal

twilit warren
#

And even if it was a lot, you still have the ability to heal to full hp during a fight

#

I don’t think anyone is using nurse on scal

#

The main source of cheese is pre ML

hollow shell
#

Alright
You should at least acknowledge this change in your suggestion, because it's worded as if you don't know that this is a thing we already do

#

"incredibly cheap price", "could be changed to a hefty fee"

ashen warren
#

Nurse cheesing should be disabled for every boss except moonlord ultimatesmug /s

tawny garden
hollow shell
#

(With what source of income? We're removing Arma farming HyperFailure )

tawny garden
#

(Source of income: playing)

#

(literally never arma farmed, had ~500 Platinum by the end of the run)

twilit warren
#

there changed

ashen warren
#

You can still farm BoC without arma

#

It’s just 1/6 times as efficient HDfailure

hollow shell
#

You still don't really acknowledge it

I meant something like "The price of the Nurse does scale in Rev, and even gets more expensive during boss fights, but the raised prices still aren't nearly high enough to dissuade people from this strategy."

tawny garden
#

so if I arma farmed, I would've had more than 2147 Platinum coins in a stack by the end, at which point I would roll into negative integers and couldn't buy anything?

twilit warren
#

you guys are kind of missing the point, you shouldn't be able to heal to full HP instantly in a bossfight. If it was made more expensive, it might fix the issue, but the suggestion is to prevent nurse healing during bossfights entirely

hollow shell
#

Ah yeah there we go
I see the sentence

#

Aaaand

#

@fading silo What do you mean it isn't consistent, and should be more consistent?
You say it twice but you don't elaborate either time

fading silo
#

Good point

#

I think that fixes most of the confusion

hollow shell
#

Aight that's clearer yeah

fading silo
#

Cool

tawny garden
#

something tells me that this ain't happening HDfailure

gray nebula
#

true..;

#

i would like one (one) seeing the new boss before the others

grim tusk
#

thats an instant ❗ and we all know why

#

testers are people who are trusted by Fab

#

you must gain Cool Dude to be tester

tawny garden
#

lol, it's a valid suggestion, actually

grim tusk
#

yea since there are no rules against it

tawny garden
#

just that its chance of success is 0

grim tusk
#

will get instant 🚫

crude geode
#

If a suggestions’ chances of being implemented are like 0, is it still valid to go into voting.

grim tusk
#

and once a dev sees it there

novel belfry
#

whooo

grim tusk
#

🚫

tawny garden
#

ideally yes, in practice no

novel belfry
#

that's an interesting suggestion though

tawny garden
#

@hollow shell hi

novel belfry
#

But it probably won't get in

dapper coral
#

gotta be honest this reasoning isn't helping imo
it seems like the main idea is so that there's more content

#

in which case... just wait for the update?

hollow shell
#

Ehhh I mean
Yeah, this practice is not unheard of, having an opt-in beta branch to report bugs on and potentially expedite the development process

crude geode
#

Testers kinda already...do this though.

hollow shell
#

The reason probably should focus more on how it would benefit the development team rather than... 'fun', and YouTube content

#

Yeah but that's a team of like 20 people versus the public

tawny garden
#

the public is kinda dum tho

grim tusk
#

also mentioning nohitting in the sugg and it not being related to armaggedon lowers the chances even further

shell drift
grim tusk
#

and besides testers occasionally show us vids of fights for us to comment on em

#

some even send test logs (in this sever too)

shell drift
#

public betas can work, but they can also hurt

tawny garden
#

nohitting doesn't even have anything to do with the sugg

hollow shell
#

Yeah that's kinda weird

#

iunno why Edip mentioned nohitting

grim tusk
grim tusk
tawny garden
#

tbf if I was writing an essay I would do the same HyperFailure

dapper coral
#

they're trying to tie it in more to the idea of "more fun for everyone"

#

which is not what the reasoning should really be about in the first place, as already mentioned

shell drift
#

the only part of the suggestion i can see working, is giving youtubers access to betas so they can do controlled sneak peeks

fossil finch
#

ok a public beta can be, in fact, nice

zenith hazel
#

that seems a bit random

fossil finch
#

but not for "jja funny new content earlier"
the reason not everybody is a tester is because not everybody actually can qualify as one

ashen warren
#

A public beta kinda sounds like it would be a mess HDfailure

fossil finch
#

the sugg should indeed focus more into the benefits for the devs instead of what it does now...
whatever it is

zenith hazel
#

there's not much that'd benefit us

grim tusk
#

like spoiling shit

zenith hazel
#

because the testing team we already have is more than enough to test for bugs and all

#

and when bugs are a thing, we usually push out hotfixes anyway

#

there's also the issue of trust, as established

fossil finch
#

public betatesting works much more for way smaller mods

#

not calamity

grim tusk
#

do you seriously think someone without Cool dude role is gonna get taken seriously when talking about balance (unless like the devs directly ask em or see people ranting about shit (photovisc, fearmong, etc))

fossil finch
#

(community-wise, i mean)

whole sedge
#

Yeah this would likely be just kind of a whole mess as I don't see what this community could do that the testers wouldn't do better really? Yeah they might find slight bugs or balancing issues but also might cause a massive headache for the developers and just an overall mess so Shrug_DRGN

fading silo
#

True

#

Remember when terraria almost failed because people were able to pirate it. (The Original. Like first of all.)

whole sedge
#

The only real benefits public betas have are for more "major" games, like EFT, where the dev team is more than just a casual mod and make cash off of that or have a lot of things that need tested without a dedicated testing team.

fading silo
#

Also a public beta can lead to a lot of bugs and a lot of people screaming at devs to fix their game and can lead people away from the game.

whole sedge
#

Yeah, for new people who don't realize that it's a beta build there's likely gonna be a lot of screaming and headaches from it echdeath

fading silo
#

Yep

#

It's most likely going to be shot down a day or less after it hits the star requirement. Unless it gets taken down by one of the mods

whole sedge
#

It's already been exclamed as it's chances of being accepted are zip so there's no real purpose to even having it be moved to voting

fading silo
#

Mhm. It's not a suggestion that breaks the rules. It's more the fact that it will just lead to more stress on the devs

#

Well. According to the conversation above us

fading silo
tawny garden
#

I'm hot

fading silo
ashen warren
royal grail
#

Public beta is a already requirement of a professional developer. It was always something that should have happened. I don't think it makes sense for you to make it look like new.

crude geode
#

Not really

tawny garden
#

many games/programs in general have been developed without a public beta

crude geode
#

Nintendo and other triple A companies don’t usually do public betas.

hollow shell
#

(And we're not professional developers, we're unpaid hobbyists making a mod, and we already have a dedicated testing team)

crude geode
#

^

hollow shell
#

Alright

violet sierra
#

are we supposed to notify someone when our sugg gets over 200

tawny garden
#

it's going to be delivered eventually

#

have patience

violet sierra
#

I only asked because a recently posted sugg has a mark, to be clear. I was being patient but that made me worried that I was missing some part of the process

dapper coral
#

it would appear that eventually is now

#

brb

tawny garden
violet sierra
#

sorry

dapper coral
#

nah it's all good

tawny garden
#

if it actually takes too damn long, like a week after it got 200, do tell

violet sierra
#

yeah, it had only been like, a day, i was just being impatient

dapper coral
#

sigh

violet sierra
#

ill be more patient next time

dapper coral
#

if only discord let us search by reactions

tawny garden
violet sierra
#

do you want me to link it

dapper coral
#

actually would that be helpful idk

#

nah i found it

it's the sentinel dog summon one right

tawny garden

#

yeah

aight i got it

violet sierra
#

#

also, i thought of an idea for a weapon but those kind of suggs arent allowed (and for good reason) HDhurdur

hollow shell
#

m

#

If you try hard enough, you could convert it into a general suggestion

violet sierra
#

Nah, its a pretty specific idea, and along with SIS, it might break the dont about upcoming content, but I don't know what qualifies as that

hollow shell
#

Alright

worn salmon
#

howd that crabulon suggestion make it in without 200 stars lmao

ancient mirage

bluecheck means its been suggested multiple times

#

public beta? this ain't minecraft with snapshots dood

inner lark
#

Wouldn't fabsol have to add teleportation potions to changlog 533?

hollow shell
#

May deem it okay because it's a moderately rare consumable and is more difficult to cheese with
.. or it'll get added soon

#

Either way prolly not valid to sugg cuz your reasoning would be based heavily on the fact that we're adding all that anti-cheese next update

inner lark
#

Ah that makes sense

#

Thanks

hollow shell
#

👍

dapper coral
#

aren't teleportation potions totally random? in which case you'd have to be pretty lucky to get any sort of cheese value out of em

shell drift
#

changelog 533 should (maybe is?) be a config option, enabled by default

#

teleportation potions can be useful for some bosses but they are mostly useless

#

teleporters are op asf tho

hollow shell
#

We almost never make balance decisions toggleable
The only ones I can see are Expert+ debuff duration, Death Mode weather hazard rate (can't be 0), and Lethal Lava

#

Wait no the Expert debuff one makes the game easier

#

So, just DMode weather and Lethal Lava

#

neither of which pertain to boss fights really

earnest cape
#

cue the sugg to make all weapon nerfs from calamity toggleable

#

the reason you need cool dude role is so you're trusted to test stuff beforehand

muted osprey

(makes sense tho)

distant gyro

(lol)

earnest cape
#

like if random people did it they could just literally post the test versions early cause lol

warm scarab

randos can't apply and go leak shit in 3 seconds

and then get instabanned but the damage is already done

#

and repeat

warm scarab
#

you mean instantly

#

yeah i suppose

muted osprey
#

but the point of an appliance system is to ensure that won't happen?

earnest cape

you can still just watch piky's streams which is close enough

eh?

Anyone can fake an application

wooden wedge

I mean

as in sounding the best they can be and then proceeding to be a dick

does the bot send them to the dev server when they get 200 stars? <@&242038163512623104>

the bot doesn't send them to the dev server

dapper coral
#

please don't try to ping roles

#

it doesn't work, anyways

shell drift
#

I am aware

earnest cape
#

testers send mod suggs to dev and mods send server suggs to staff channel

dapper coral

almost any semi-regular person in these channels can answer most questions about the sugg channels so just... don't do that, even if you don't mean any harm by it

I know you cant ping devs

"it's a joke" isn't a valid excuse

suggesting cal npc to be out now wegud

I think testing the player’s reaction time on a semi-endgame boss is pretty valid

im not against it but eh imo

#

p1 lasers are in a set pattern aka right left right left etc and p2 just don't run aimlessly and you should be fine

#

imo the delay between indicators and laser firing is too long

ashen warren
#

Not really, unless your wing flight time extreme low

#

And even then you can hook into the platform

Yeah really platforms, infiniflight mounts and more can fix that which I suggest using on doggie

another toggle

how many can there be?

warm scarab
#

good question

#

:hdflr:

fading silo
#

Seems interesting, but does this also apply to arctic diving gear?

#

Cause it grants extra mobility on ice due to it being a combination of jellyfish diving gear and the ice skates. Though it's just a diving helmet.

warm scarab
#

i said "ice skate effects"

#

altho

#

why tf

#

would you use arctic diving gear

#

on any boss

fading silo
#

Well...you wouldn't....unless you're fighting giant clam and have it, but then again you should use the ocean crest whenever it's not abyss/void.

#

But it still provides the effect

#suggestions-posting message
As if DoG wasnt easy enough
Build an arena with a decent amount of platforms if lasers are causing you too much trouble, brimrose can also help
DoG is a post-ML boss he’s supposed to be hard and test your skills, and the telegraph is already really long already

#

#suggestions-posting message
Doesnt frostspark boots give you tons of mobility if on ice, also its easier to just use lightning boots instead, and why would you use the slidding for bosses (what no WASD challenge?), its pretty slow compared to most bosses (even pre-hm)’s speed
also frozen slime blocks exist

earnest cape
#

yeah like

#

why do you have ice on your arena

tawny garden
#

To slide

earnest cape

just use frozen slime blocks :tro

But sliding seems like an inconvenience when fighting a boss.

the only time I've seen sliding be useful is when crabbar was doing a no movement keys challenge

this sugg is very specific (maybe???) on some parts

specific and i can’t find any real reasoning

#

And yes, it do be specific

Also, "the other sea place" HDfailure

and also its maybe one of those "new biome" things added to the mod, not sure

The air thing is pretty ech imo, let me make house in abyss :feelschungus:

the sunken sea doesnt have a research lab?

there is one in the jungle, underground, ice, and underworld

in any case

i dont think its directly inside the sunken sea

even then, why would draeodon put a research station at the abyss

you have any reason as to why this should be a thing?
if theres no reason other then "why not" or "it'd be cool" or the like, then maybe it shouldn't be suggested

Subnautica has a pressure system to control building on deeper levels

#

It's too complicated to be implemented for cal

Well the abyss doesn't really have any backstory in the actual game unlike hell and the sea place so it would bring some of that, also it would give casual players who don't want to do an insanely hard boss rush another reason to make the abyssal diving gear and go down there

uhh

cobalt pewter
eternal escarp
#

the abyss has backstory iirc

sleek turret
#

I think on the lore Tenebris and Planty Mush are Silva remains or something like that????????

eternal escarp
#

theres abyss lore on the wiki atm too iirc

cobalt pewter
#

(imagine your housing blocks broken just from being too deep)

tender temple
eternal escarp
#

if i recal correctly

cobalt pewter
#

(honestly I wouldn't mind that for cal, a pressure-ish system that breaks blocks under a certain mining power, but that won't work for building blocks)

#

😔

eternal escarp
#

(or remember correctly)

tender temple
#

oh ok

#

theres lore on hell, space and the sea place aswell probably

#

but they still have research stations

eternal escarp
#

theres lore for the sulph sea, corruption and crimson

#

they dont have stations

tender temple
#

they should do

eternal escarp
#

(crags too)

tender temple
#

there should be a station for every biome

eternal escarp
#

why should they?

sleek turret
#

uhh

tender temple
#

but the abyss is just a very important biome

sleek turret
#

that would bring a shitton of issues

tender temple
#

eternal escarp
#

thats

safe oasis
#

(that doesn't make any sense)

eternal escarp
#

shell drift
