ok that looks significantly better now

i had just informed myself that those 3 vanity transformations are from calamity vanities, not calamity. have a great evenging

understandable

Suggestion is much better, Frazzle

#

Thank you

#

ehem
suggs requesting adding things for the sake of x only runs aren't valid suggs, as those runs are simply challenges
Blah blah blah read the don'ts doc

glossy stone
#

Well tbh, it's not a really extensive challenge either, and come on, there is just one slot to be filled to complete the puzzle, that's literally it

#

Even spears have options pre-Provi

#

Devs added flails for literally every single other point in progression, even pre-SCal

#

yes, I know Dragon Pow is a donator wep but still

fossil finch
#

that doesn't change that though

full pivot
#

^^^

#

its still theft even if you only steal a small snack

glossy stone
#

This is ridiculous

full pivot
#

no, it's explicitly stated

ashen warren

Argument debunked, proceeds to say something irrelevant.

glossy stone
#

Okay phew, I was... genuinely concerned for a second

deft yew
#

i’d say yoyo moment but flails are even worse HDfailure

glossy stone
#

Why is everyone ignoring the fact that Dragon Pow is amazing for SCal ?

deft yew
#

It is, I mean the amount of flails

glossy stone
#

Oh, right

deft yew
#

In prehardmode you go from post-scoog to post-skele HDfailure

wicked dirge

is it ok to link your sugg if it is super close to 200 stars?

@gentle mica https://calamitymod.fandom.com/wiki/Stat_Meter This item shows you your max minion slots

Calamity Mod Wiki

Not to be confused with Level Meters, similar items that display Proficiency.
The Stat Meter is a Tool purchased from the Goblin Tinkerer for 1 . It tells the player of their various stats within the tooltip. The stats displayed in the meter's tooltip are as follows:

Adrenaline and Rage Meter charge times. (In Revengeance and Death Modes only)...

#

It does not show you how many of your minion slots are currently occupied, however
You could change your suggestion to be to add that information to this item

#

(because yeah adding in a whole interface showing each minion that's using up each slot
People will complain that it's not Calamity's "job" to add something like that, and it would likely be very buggy and difficult to implement)

One message removed from a suspended account.

hollow shell
#

Ah, uh

#

@gentle mica You shouldn't append your suggestion with an Edit thing like that

The #suggestions-posting channel is essentially an in-progress channel for suggestions, then after a day they get automatically delivered to the #suggestions-voting channel, where they remain permanently (and, through voting, can be seen by the devs in isolation)
So you don't need to include any indication that your message was edited, the whole suggestion should be in the best state it can be in

i dont think its because of idiots.. i just think its because moderating it is a hassle

#

(insert reason why)

finite smelt

tardy smelt
#

Thoughts on my sugg?

deft yew
#

The very end could use a minor edit, byeah it seems p good

#

Problem is I think the point of the biome blade line is being pseudo-mage HDfailure

tardy smelt
#

Yeah... but there's tons of other weapons that fulfil that niche as well

#

On pretty much every tier with a biome blade

#

To the point where they become the meat and bones of the melee swords

#

So a few less can't hurt

#

In fact I think it'd be a good thing

deft yew
#

That makes sense
And it does look better now wedragud

tardy smelt
hollow shell
#

Big approve

#

Anything to move melee's effects and DPS closer to the player is a win for me

cobalt pewter
#

I wish total projectile broadsword eradication can be a thing

torn crown
#

True melee enchanted sword boohoo

hollow shell
#

Enchanted Sword is acceptable because its beam is infrequent, slower than the direct swing

fossil finch
#

it is also the whole point of it

#

back when terraria melee wasn't 99% mhage swords it made a lot of sense to have an enchanted sword that was able to fire a projectile

tardy smelt
#

Should've only been the gimmick of terra blade and beam sword tbh

#

Since terra blade rewards you for the nutty recipe and beamsword's beams aren't the main source of dps

#

Stuff like AotC's free homing just goes way too far

fossil finch
#

i believe it is fine for calamity to add some expansions of it every now and then but not literally every sword

tardy smelt
#

Mmhm

deft yew
#

Maybe the Ark of the Ancients line could get it instead
Considering how physically small the Biome Blade line is, I think it would be pretty hard to use it for true melee

grim tusk
#

Biome blade line small?

deft yew
#

The sword itself I mean

hollow shell
#

As in hard to true melee with

deft yew
#

^

grim tusk
#

Biome blade, True biome blade, Omega biome blade, Galaxia, Ark of the Cosmos

Maybe the first 2 but the others seem fine

#

Galaxia also would also need a size increase

deft yew
#

I just realized I’ve never actually used any of the biome blade line and this is a certified speaking before thinking moment

hollow shell
#

I did a melee playthrough recently and they kinda took a backseat there too

grim tusk
#

Ark despite all of its nerfs is nohit meta just due to how fucking consistent it is

earnest raptor
#

what about having true melee on left click and projectiles on right click?

hollow shell
#

(or the inverse)

#

We could do that

deft yew
#

Like with aegis and briny

earnest raptor
#

elemental excalibur already does that

grim tusk
#

All swords become Gael/Ele exalibur

earnest raptor
#

so there is a precendent

hollow shell
#

The thing is all the current instances are special swords

#

two Legendaries, two post-Yharon weapons (both dedicated)

grim tusk
#

And one technically becoming a challenge drop

deft yew
#

Honestly I think aegis and briny having the right click projectile was just an excuse to give them two attacks like other legendaries

earnest raptor
#

okay, then...

#

spellsword?

tardy smelt
#

What

#

Ok uhm do I need to change my sugg for any of this or leave it as it is

earnest raptor
hollow shell
#

I have never heard the term "spellsword" used to describe that phenomenon

earnest raptor
#

idk, I have heard it on thorium server

hollow shell
#

That does sound like a Thorium thing yeah

#

but uh your suggestion is fine, may have some implementation issues due to none of the testers wanting to get that close with such small swords

earnest raptor
#

double its size

hollow shell
#

buff/debuff durations would prolly have to be extended

tardy smelt
#

Yeah

#

And the buffs might need to become stronger

deft yew
tardy smelt
deft yew
#

The more you dedicate to it, the longer the damage lasts

hollow shell
tardy smelt
#

Fair nuff

#

But I don't really need to worry about the exact way it's gonna be implemented the idea just has to be good CompleteFailure

hollow shell
#

mhm

deft yew
#

Do we just wait on the bot to put this through now?
Or what

hollow shell
#

uh

#

yeah that's how the channel works

#

Unless you have more feedback to give

#

I guess LGL could include a bit on how the buff/debuff effects could be improved due to the increased difficulty in triggering them if this change was made

#

Without dedicating too much message space to it

deft yew
#

Not in particular
other than I was considering a quasi-true melee run and this would help my favorite archetype a lot

tardy smelt
#

I had an idea for that actually

#

Why not move all those buffs/debuff effects to a unique buff whose effect depends on what biome the player's in

#

That way you have more control over the exact effects

hollow shell
#

ehyeah, that can be done

#

You could include that among the possibilities
alongside just boosting the duration

tardy smelt
#

Yeah

#

I'll see how I can finagle that in in a bit

fossil finch
#

Bruhve

#

Moab having less bonus than frog leg to jumpspeed is intended, because it has the jetpack

stable crane
#

damm

grim tusk
#

Yea otherwise it would be more busted than fin wings + bundle on 1 accs slot

deft yew
#

1.5 is solving this problem anyway HDfailure

tardy smelt
#

how's this wording btw

deft yew
#

Looks great

#

On the other hand, Storm found that shorter suggs get votes faster

tardy smelt
#

true

hollow shell
#

@stable crane Is that taking its wing time into account

eternal escarp
hollow shell
#

?

stable crane
#

i translate it

#

it say that the value is in count as the wing time

#

in a better explain

#

wing time = balance the jump

hollow shell
#

Are you going to edit your suggestion to mention the wing time?

stable crane
#

in what site i put it

#

the google translate isn't working like it should

tardy smelt
#

I have a bit to consider

deft yew
#

evil island exists

#

fargo's both evils exists

ashen warren
#

whats that

half sage
#

evil island is a floating island that spawns in your world that has crim/ebon sand and demonite/crimtane, so it gives you a bunch of the alt ore and enough crimson/corruption blocks to make an artificial biome

#

as well as the alt evil chest

#

so you can get both vamp knives and scourge in any world

#

fargo's both evils just adds both corruption and crimson to your world

fossil finch
#

what if instead we don't spoil the average terraria player by making every single item spawn in every single word so there's a little variance or whatever

ashen warren
#

yeah that mod messes up the world gen

fossil finch
#

it doesn't

ashen warren
#

with calamity it does

fossil finch
#

even with calamity it doesn't

deft yew
#

add some way you think they could be made dodgeable and this should be ok

ruby plover
#

Yeah, maybe as they’re about to explode they no longer rotate their direction at all, like the aureus crystal flame things

@manic canopy just use death mode

manic canopy
#

?

grim tusk
#

Also very specific suggestion for something that already exists

manic canopy
#

oh lol

half sage
#

also don't ping devs for suggestions lul

grim tusk
#

Also put tittles on your suggestions

#

Read the whole suggs doc

manic canopy
#

i didnt know cus im rly new to calamity rly

deft yew
#

good rule of thumb

manic canopy
#

and dont rly do death mode, i mainly do revengance

grim tusk
deft yew

don't ask to change something you've never experienced

Hi im new to life can't read sorry

manic canopy
#

i played death a bit

fossil finch

Shouldn't we ping a mod or whatevs

grim tusk

@ RoverdriveX#7729 bad sugg season get a shotgun

fossil finch
#

Anyways @novel belfry you do know they can be fooled pretty easily into colliding with the floor thanks to their jankiness at changing direction right?

deft yew

#

hi rover .

wooden wedge
#

rover exists

grim tusk
#

Fuck mobile

wooden wedge
#

so true!

grim tusk
#

Now he appears online

#

Just needed to reopen the app

hollow shell
#

byeah @ashen warren a mod exists for that already
and also this exists in Calamity too https://calamitymod.fandom.com/wiki/Evil_Island
and also NPCs sell stuff from the other world evil in Calamity

Calamity Mod Wiki

Evil Islands are unique sky islands that contain content of the Evil Biome that was not chosen.

#

@manic canopy That's not at all how you format a suggestion and you shouldn't ping random devs either
and yes Death Mode adds more natural spawns

fossil finch
#

also the fix the moab sugg is still not mentioning the fly time and all

hollow shell
#

I did tell them about that but the user is non-English speaking and its difficult communicating through that language barrier

#

I don't know if I should exlamate the sugg or not

grim tusk
#

If its Spanish i have no prob translating it.

stable crane
#

So is that whatt limit the jump

fossil finch
#

yes, that is why the jump is lesser

#

you are able to fly afterwards

stable crane
#

Then my sugg is just no

hollow shell
#

Welcome to Terraria, goat

#

Props to you for actually looking into where the source of the lag is

#

But yeah it's an ongoing battle

wraith adder
#

me and Dradon had a build going with a few flags for dust persistence at one point

hollow shell
#

Is my theory of
Dusts are only problematic if they emit light
correct?

wraith adder
#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJAVMDoEqKU god it's been two years since we were messing with this. Nah, dust can cause lag even if it's invisible, the game is still tracking its path and all. I might be wrong because it's been two years and an amputation since the last time I really dug in here

hollow shell
#

Are dusts really that poorly optimized

#

Of all the things to lag a game like Terraria I wouldn't think it'd be a bunch of uninteractible images moving around on the screen

uncut quiver
#

huh it seems I missed out on when the wormhole iframes were discussed

#

wouldn’t that be exploitable? (Unless the iframes are very short)

hollow shell
#

Sure if you wanna just CHUG potions while mashing the map key and suffering a seizure

wraith adder
#

there isn't much distinction between dust and projectiles and some guns just don't work if dust is disabled, which is part of why it wasn't something added to release. there's a lot of things that make a lot of dust iirc

grim tusk
#

@wraith adder maybe its just too many mods, where you messing with other big mods as well?

#

Cuz Cal does not get along with other big mods

#

Also i5, thats pretty old

exotic stag
#

yep an i5 is pretty old

wraith adder
#

except at the time it wasn't

hollow shell
#

(but you're making the suggestion now)

#

I get that you can't expect everyone to have high-end PCs

wraith adder
#

and... they still make i5s in the current gen, the 7600k part is where the actual date on the thing comes from. and it's got fairly solid single-core performance even now, and high performance on single cores helps a lot in a game that uses two at most

#

userbenchmark has an 18% higher dualcore speed on an i7-10700k from last year

#

it was mid/early 2019 when I was experimenting, I can see if there was a mod list but I didn't have, say, Fargo's Souls Mod going because I don't think I knew it existed

grim tusk
#

Try to not use Cal with other big mods

#

Otherwise stuff like that tends to happen

hollow shell
#

That is not something that he said he did at all Or, hmm

wraith adder
#

I do not think there were big mods of interest at the time, and even then, I'd say it'd be ideal to dig into things for performance anyway

wooden wedge
#

tml 64 bit

wraith adder
#

Yes, like the official Mac/Linux tML, except it's made some bad decisions. I don't think I could handle porting the official Mac/Linux source to Windows because the source is kind of a mess and I'd want to throw it like a grenade and dodge behind something to avoid any chance of having to provide support for it.

wooden wedge
#

cal isn't designed for tml 64 bit or big modpacks

#

try seeing if your performance issues happen with only cal and on official tml 32 bit

#

because this sugg just sounds like a player issue 100%

wraith adder
#

I'm kind of baffled that this is a player issue, but if I get profiling set back up I'll see how much CPU usage is coming up in specific situations with only calamity and only with the official one on Windows

hollow shell
#

👍

#

If you're willing to wait a bit you could do this with the new Calamity update comin out soon
cuz I know the programmers have done some optimization work

#

(or better yet, do it now and do it after the update, to see how much it improved)

wooden wedge
#

the reason why i'm saying this is a player issue is because you're using cal on a tml client that it wasn't designed for

#

with other mods too

#

bound to cause a bunch of unwanted shit to happen for this sugg

wraith adder
#

It wasn't big stuff, but I was hitting the loading limit on x32 and didn't want to install another operating system to use the other official clients. I'll drop the suggestion and rely on myself to try to figure things out with logging and performance using the official source, at least.

hollow shell
#

Yeah, if you are playing with a modpack so big it's hitting the limit and requiring you use tMod 64bit

#

Thas not really reliable conditions to judge Calamity's performance

safe oasis
#

wait how did you get terraria to use two cores? it only ever uses one in my experience

wraith adder
#

It's not good at using two cores

safe oasis
#

this was with multicore lighting set to all six cores and it still seems to use only one, not even a bump on the other cores (the spikes were from tmodloader being physically open and in focus btw)

wraith adder
#

multicore lighting is either useless or worse than useless and was axed for that reason

fossil finch
#

(A lot of dust only weapons also have/are in 1.5 getting undusted (or less dusty))
Flamethrowers are the bane of existence

wraith adder
#

the texture manager and lighting seem to be about all that're calling System.Threading and using them, networking is using it but I have no idea if it's effective or functional. It's just, due to the way processors handle load, the second core even getting tickled is going to make the processor drop down a little in speed if it's not already handling background tasks

#

every instance of dust is calling vector2 math and floats in at minimum, even if it's invisible. you can optimize vector2/vector3 math by jamming it all into an array, but that would require heavy work and might not help enough to make it worth it

#

I dropped the suggestion and I'm going to go dig deeper and hopefully find... something in this source that I can make work better. Thanks for discussing it.

hollow shell
#

aighty

keen zealot
#

it's just that the one core is also used for literally everything else

keen zealot
#

it is most definitely better than useless and has not been axed

wraith adder
#

where'd it go in 1.4

#

leinfors was posting in may 2020 about how it was actually causing performance drops before during 1.4.0.4, but that's admittedly the first google result

keen zealot
#

ah

#

haven't checked my settings since 1.4.0.2

#

lmao

wraith adder
#

no, i mean the posts were about 1.3.5.3, it was gone in 1.4

keen zealot
#

and haven't checked video settings since before then

keen zealot
#

but it was definitely not its own fault that it was causing performance drops

#

The multicore lighting option was removed in 1.4 and the game always defaults to multicore lighting

#

but rather a conflict with some other bullshit

wraith adder
#

We are looking into re-implementing multicore lighting, but the multicore lighting in 1.3.5.3 was actually malfunctioning, which is why we removed it. So it may be some time until we can get it functional again for re-implementation.

keen zealot
#

because at least in 1.3 it alone caused measurably improved performance

#

for me*

#

and the stuttering with too many light sources was a massive problem before 1.4, multicore or not

wraith adder
#

guess it's time to get the official source, compile it, and profile to see what exactly's using your cpu time if you still have an install that reliably lags

keen zealot
#

reliably lags when there are literally multiple thousands of light sources in the world and especially on screen

#

not a problem in normal gameplay

@silver bramble you can't suggest things about the upcoming update

There's days it's worse

#

not sure if that's true

It is

#

for how many days sugg channel exists?

fossil finch
#

Years

fossil finch
#

Ok uh that's on purpose

eternal escarp
#

@ashen warren yeah you cant suggest meme weapons like that

#

especially when you have 0 reasoning

#

and
@copper brook you should add reasoning
also, only the Astral Biome is a biome that converts blocks, how would a Sunken Sea solution work?

fossil finch
#

Calamity powder (does absolutely nothing because there is no such biome)

#

Ss powder is a thing that goes unused

eternal escarp
#

Astral Solution is also, a thing already

fossil finch
eternal escarp
#

so all the converting biomes have their solutions (and "water")

ashen warren
eternal escarp
#

still not a reason

#

hell its an even worse reason HDfailure

ashen warren
#

Who says?

fossil finch
#

Me omw to add abyss solution (doesn't do shit because there is no proper blocks to convert)

eternal escarp
#

the fact that you just suggested a meme weapon is enough for the whole suggestion to go down basically

glossy stone
#

Also requesting a c gun to be added just shows how much you've devolved as a person, just sayin'

eternal escarp
#

from the Don'ts document

ashen warren
#

Ah shit

I got called out on discord

#

I'm going back into hiding

fossil finch

eternal escarp
#

yeah the sugg has no chance to survive anyways so uh

ashen warren
#

Yeah no shit

eternal escarp
#

you could delete it now to save people's time (and save yourself from getting pinged by other people in this channel)

fossil finch
#

We have around six suggs

#

That's a bingo

#

(Moab one still exista even though the user was later properly told about moab's flight time so uh)

glossy stone
#

Did they remove the MOAB upgrade sugg ?

fossil finch
#

I think no

#

Yeah it's there

glossy stone
#

Ok cool

fossil finch
#

Time for it to be epicly denied idk

glossy stone
#

I do want it so succeed

#

MOAB is epic, an upgrade of it would be insane

fossil finch
#

(Moab upgrades have been sugged before with little success if any)

#

Aside of that one guy that made an addon called moar balloons

#

Also refer to that merk message about not adding moab upgrades out of spite to defiled players

#

Byeah ig

the moab upgrade one already pass 200 i think

Yes

#

@copper brook You need a reasoning for your suggestion, and explain what you mean too

Ditched sugg with no reason

and above that, a specific sugg

Nevermind the fix moab sugg

I don't see the correlation

How would these random people know that release is soon

#

desperation manifests in strange ways

#

people are so desperate for a release date they'll do anything to find one
even though they won't get one

#

anyway I'm not even gonna bother tryin' to ping all those people that have invalid suggestions in there right now because the truth of the matter is that they'll never fix them

exotic stag
#

aureus spawns r killable. iirc

#

they r the one that home in on the player right?

#

the little planet right?

tardy smelt
#

yep

#

they're killable AND avoidable so I'm not even sure why it's passing into sugg voting

exotic stag
#

yeah they r killable

#

once you lower their hp they go invincible and chase the player down and slowly expand until exploding

tardy smelt
#

yeah

exotic stag
#

so @novel belfry this is just a skill issue on your part. they are infact killable AND avoidable.

tardy smelt
#

(note: it's already been pointed out to them)

exotic stag

o

#

well sadge

tardy smelt

it's np

Anyone who posts a suggestion, first read over the dos and don’ts or your likely will have an invalid suggestion

wooden wedge
#

@dawn magnet read all of the sugg don'ts doc

dawn magnet
#

oh whoops I didn't realise

fossil finch
#

Bingo

wooden wedge
#

Lol

torn crown
#

People do be seeing 1-liner suggestions and then think "oh damn I think I can make something like that"

exotic stag
#

wegud y'know what we should get? a bot that can detect like

#

certain things

#

like say a suggestion is too short or too long

torn crown
#

We have that

#

🗜️

#

But uhh, it doesn't seem to quite work

#

Fsr

exotic stag
#

yes a compressor

eternal escarp
#

that happans. it works

exotic stag
#

but i meant a bot

eternal escarp
#

it only worjs when a suggestion has a POSTING error when 24 hours pass

exotic stag
#

to automatically react that

eternal escarp
#

any Dont that are apparent obviously cannot be tracked by a bot

torn crown
#

Why can't it detect messages without a newline then?

#

Ah

eternal escarp
#

its just that usually, those types of suggestions get caught by mods and get exclamed

torn crown
eternal escarp
#

and also usually come with other donts

#

and ye its a bot only reaction

exotic stag
#

lol

#

but yeah what i meant by a bot so y'know when rover is offline and no one else checks this channel like

#

it does it for them lol

eternal escarp
#

usually atleast 1 of the exclaming people logs on and can be notified so, lol

exotic stag
#

truee

dapper coral
#

(not to mention that rover is online like all the time lmao)

#

except rn apparently

exotic stag
#

(or if hes just lurking)

hot zephyr
#

They sleep

#

Let them rest

hollow shell
#

byeah sorry I woke up too early and went back to sleep

hollow shell
#

Yep this is a suggestion.

exotic stag
#

yep

hollow shell
#

iirc it was intentionally excluded as a joke

#

to surprise players

#

But it could easily be added

exotic stag
#

i mean yeah sure jokes r cool

loud cloak
#

also, would it be a good idea to suggest titan heart description change

#

cus it's kinda eh

hollow shell
#

iirc the reason why it says "also" is because Terraria automatically puts text above it

#

I can't remember what text

#

maybe "Material"

#

Correct me if I am wrong.

half sage
#

yea

#

it's labelled as a material since it's used to craft titan heart armor

#

so it's not "also used at astral beacon", it's "material, also used at astral beacon"

zealous oriole
#

titan heart description seems fine to me

deft yew
#

Speaking of the eidolon tablet, I might like if it still worked post-Golem

hollow shell
#

It technically does if the Cultists are all dead after an LC attempt

deft yew
#

ohh

hollow shell
#

It doesn't work if there is the mysterious floating tablet at the dungeon

#

present.

deft yew
#

They respawn pretty quickly don’t they?

hollow shell
#

In Calamity, yeah

#

so you don't gotta wait

deft yew
#

Makes sense

#

Either eidolon tablet could stop dropping post-Golem or have another use

#

Heck even removing “Consumable” from the tooltip post-Golem would work

hollow shell
#

Do you have issues with accumulating tablets while farming in the Dungeon post-Golem?

deft yew
#

Not particularly, no

#

It feels weird for it to be completely useless is all

#

yknow it could summon the adult wyrm in 1.5, we’ll just have to see

loud cloak
loud cloak
silver silo
#

Technically that’s only in the abyss

thick river
#

yeah might be useful to be able to fight it somewhere better

deft yew
#

but doesn't it enrage outside abyss l4

wooden wedge
#

First of all, it doesn't reference either it's other uses
@loud cloak it's only other use is as a crafting material which is stated as such with the Material part of the item desc

loud cloak
#

i wasn't sure what the description was actually refferencing; the fact that it was also a material, or the fact that there was another item used at the astral beacon, hence the either

deft yew
#

the eidolon tablet one is fine

#

byeah i think titan heart works as is

wooden wedge
#

^

loud cloak
#

it works, though it feels off to me

crude geode
#

Material covers it’s other functions fine.

#

Because that is the other function of it, as a material.

#

The wording on “also can be used at the beacon” is weird but the material complaint doesn’t really make sense.

hollow shell
#

@marsh obsidian What if you're trying to get those minibosses to spawn

marsh obsidian
#

They spawn so often with a battle pot/zerg rn that I feel it could be toned down and still be too high lol

#

Idk, maybe that's not the group consensus but that's how I see it

#

I put on a battle pot and probably 4 Plaguebringers spawned in the first 2 minutes. Zerg pots raise that even more

#

It just makes farming Angry Trappers and everything else so much more tedious imo

hollow shell
#

m, alright fair enough

keen zealot
#

trying to farm anything that isn't levi at normal ocean is literally impossible because anahita is always there as soon as she is capable of spawning

#

ex. sea shell from the sea snails

#

or the vanilla way of getting diving helmet

#

a couple other things

ruby plover
#

i do believe non-disappearing weapons do in fact disappear, but its like after a minute or so... which is really long

#

i agree with your suggestion tho

fossil finch
#

That's called better multiplayer mod

torn crown
#

I thought better multiplayer only had the thing where 1 player dying = everyone dying

frozen hornet
#

It also has the exact thing the poster wanted

torn crown
exotic stag
#

Sure that can work. seems fine to me

patent veldt
manic canopy
#

@patent veldt sorry for the ping but your suggestiong is a good idea i think

tardy smelt
#

woop

#

finally some uh

#

not shit suggestions (the bar's pretty low at this point)

deft yew
#

that reminds me

#

should i repost my sugg about shortening boss titles

#

especially because i forgot about signus

exotic stag
#

just because a mod is in 1.4 doesnt mean its excluded in 1.3

exotic stag
deft yew
#

alright draft incoming

tardy smelt
#

and THAT reminds me of the wof suggestion I wanted to do

#

...another day prob

deft yew
#

fair enough to wait

#

seems like a proper sugg would be more noticeable when not among this HDfailure

tardy smelt
#

it's more that I'm lazy

deft yew
#

(although i agree with x-killa's sugg. celestial reaper is unfunny)

tardy smelt
#

I feel like it's somehow related to GP's latest upload

deft yew
#

no crafting 3?

tardy smelt
#

yeah

ashen warren
manic canopy
#

maybe for mini ones?

#

they might be on about them

visual sparrow
exotic stag
#

and anyway @manic canopy i think this is an SIS

visual sparrow
exotic stag
manic canopy
exotic stag
#

is an SIS

#

scvrs is fine somewhat

manic canopy
#

what do you mean by sis

tardy smelt
#

what even is an SIS yeah

#

you mean

exotic stag
#

specific sug

tardy smelt
#

oh

exotic stag
#

i just call it SIS cause funny short

visual sparrow
tardy smelt
#

well it's a "don't" in many ways

#

or

#

*three

#

-incorrect formatting
-too specific
-no good argumentation, anyway

exotic stag
#

also like this somewhat?

fossil finch
#

Nah

exotic stag
#

i said somewhat..

fossil finch
#

Wof isn't early

#

Not even somewhat

#

It could be argued to fall under "big effort" don't

tardy smelt
#

it's 30% into the game

#

more or less

#

that's not very early considering how big terraria is

visual sparrow
#

but @manic canopy edit it or wait for ping from mod

exotic stag
#

theres 3 major points in terraria. pre-hardmode hardmode and post ml which are like the "33 66 and 99%" standpoints

tardy smelt
#

post-ml is shorter than the other two

manic canopy
#

i read them , it says for asking to revamp bosses in reveneance is fine and he is decently early tho it doesnt take me to long to get to him rly

exotic stag
manic canopy
tardy smelt
#

I'd say it's more like- 35%-75%-100%

tardy smelt
#

don't argue it the way you currently do

visual sparrow
tardy smelt
#

heck

#

argue it in the first place

exotic stag
#

like if its gonna be something about a boss suggestion. reason it with sugg discussion to get opinions first

#

and see if your initial wording is too specific

tardy smelt
exotic stag
#

yeah its close though so like

tardy smelt
#

if you're gonna suggest major boss changes give good reasons for that

exotic stag
#

it is like an example of an average thought out suggestion

tardy smelt
#

or

#

another example from my catalogue

exotic stag
#

also dont talk about specifically yourself

#

"i have an easy time getting to him and hes really easy for me"

#

thats just you

tardy smelt
#

my first sugg :D

#

not as great of an example though

exotic stag
#

i feel like it should also be a dont to have like. personal views that are overly there

tardy smelt
#

I probably shouldn't have included my idea

tardy smelt
exotic stag
#

like sure some QOL suggestions like mine can have personal preference (my targetting one) because its just helpful really.

#

but for boss suggestions you should really consider the communities reaction

tardy smelt
#

and also

#

is it worth the trouble

#

since often those kinds of changes are major undertakings

exotic stag
#

yes

#

and then it can get the community mad and them make more suggestions based on it

tardy smelt
#

speaking of wof lemme draft something up rq

exotic stag
#

think of the community before yourself.

visual sparrow
#

or you can ask just for small things, like me

exotic stag
#

yeah

#

small things like qol are fine usually

#

like you can put some personal reasoning as like

#

a qol suggestion

#

but for stuff like wof? the community comes before the personal takes

deft yew
exotic stag
#

or have a button that changes color.

#

that way its not as impacting

deft yew
#

And be synced with special phase animations like Yharon’s

exotic stag
#

yeah like y'know how signus's tentacle face is hard to see when hes moving around? just like indicate a number count next to the healthbar for some of those bosses that do that

fossil finch
#

Eh

deft yew
#

That sounds more like an advanced HUD lol

fossil finch
#

Those are more attacks than phases

#

So like

deft yew
#

Something more subtle (such as just a flash) would work better imo

fossil finch
#

I don't think signus or brimmy need it tbh

exotic stag
#

yeah

#

im just explaining the whole signus's tentacle face thing

deft yew
#

The rework could make it easier to tell

fossil finch
#

Idk it is already easy to tell

tardy smelt
#

did that

#

thoughts?

hollow shell
#

(wow I woke up to a lot of new suggs)

#

@coral musk You could use a lil bit more of a reason why in your suggestion.

tardy smelt
#

hey at least they're not as garbage as yesterday amirite

hollow shell
#

@patent veldt This was suggested and delivered quite recently. Your suggestion isn't disallowed because of that but it probably doesn't need to exist #suggestions-voting message

patent veldt
#

I didn’t realise my bad

cobalt pewter
#

Wall of Flesh is a unique boss?

#

Since when?

tardy smelt
#

compare it to just about any other boss and you'll see that none of them are anything like it

#

lmao

#

the concept is simple yet creative, the execution is creative yet kind of fails due to the mentioned lasers

#

like- I do want to insert that the entire underworld biome's designed with its fight in mind

fossil finch
#

It isn't

tardy smelt
#

uh

#

it seems to

#

I still think the concept's creative

fossil finch
#

Like legit it is not

half sage
#

hell predates WOF so it's more the other way around

hollow shell
#

Yes I would definitely say WoF is the most unique boss in the game at its base concept

exotic stag
#

yeah

fossil finch
#

Wof was clearly not designed around hell's design even if buildings kill his lasers

exotic stag
#

the base concept of him being a movable wall is unique

#

but the execution is sort of bland

fossil finch
#

You need to clear buildings 99% of the time to properly fight wof

half sage
#

either way telegraphs would be nice but imo it'd still be a meh fight since it's "run in straight line and jump occasionally: the fight"

tardy smelt
exotic stag
#

the better way it would've been executed is somewhat like y'know how that chase scene from a sonic game went

tardy smelt
#

since higher difficulties just kept adding to its speed

exotic stag
#

where eggman would kill sonic upon touching the laser and you had to race metal sonic

fossil finch
#

Well yeah expert does not help yeah

#

But mainly no

#

Wof isn't really designed around hell gen

earnest raptor
#

I guess buildings have been overhauled in 1.2?

fossil finch
#

I am because i have fought wof bridgeless in vanilla

fossil finch
#

It's not designed around it

#

Im pretty sure hell gen was never completely overhauled

exotic stag
#

its literally just like your fighting any boss in the wrong biome.

earnest raptor
#

in any biome without arena*

exotic stag
#

yeah

earnest raptor
exotic stag
#

any biome without prep is just like

#

"wow i never knew this impacted this boss so heavily so that its practically just dogwater"

fossil finch
#

I mean in general terraria bosses seem to be very arena centric even if they don't get arenas

#

(Golem is a myth)

tardy smelt
#

true

#

the arena's part of gearing up

fossil finch
#

I am choosing to ignore red's og 1.0 mp pt where they killed normal eye with iron tier swords or smt on 1.0 terraria worldgen

half sage
earnest raptor
#

pre-1.0.6 healing potions could be spammed

fossil finch
#

(Because of multiple reasons main one being that the game is very different now+ they used respawn cheese+the boss was hard only because undergeared)

earnest raptor
#

I mean

#

iron swords!

#

you didn't watch yrimir?

#

(yes, I am huge hypocrite because I watched him in 2016 so I am not true fan)

fossil finch
#

Mmmyes 100 eocs hallowed sword kill

earnest raptor
tardy smelt
#

how's the sugg itself btw

hollow shell
#

byeah this seems fine

tardy smelt
#

anything I could add to it/argument differently?

earnest raptor
tardy smelt
#

iirc (I hope) it just means "but yeah"

half sage
#

yea I'm all for WOF getting a telegraph or less spammy projectiles

hollow shell
frail mantle
#

"but yeah" shortened into one word

tardy smelt
#

^^

loud cloak
#

would it be dumb to suggest different slimes falling in slike rain depending on which biome you are in

#

i have some more ideas for slime rain ready now

tardy smelt
#

uh

#

depends...?

#

it'd slightly make sense for that to happen

hollow shell
#

There wouldn't be much point in doing that but it'd be a nice touch I guess?

tardy smelt
#

^

#

but if you want to insert more ideas you're straying dangerously close to the "too specific" don't

hollow shell
#

They could be separate suggs

#

(also gotta wait 5 hours before you suggest)

tardy smelt
#

slowmode?

#

it's just 10 minutes on my end

exotic stag
#

yeah its probably just sugg channel having a "lot" of suggestions rn (air quotes cuz sarcasm)

tardy smelt
#

it's quite a few though unironically

#

like- an average of 2 suggs per day?

hollow shell
#

There is a rule of 2 suggs max per day

tardy smelt
#

in total not per person I mean

#

you'd already hit the thousand suggs on average after merely a year and a half

#

which is a fucking lot

hollow shell
#

This rule exists because of Feedza

#

Point and laugh

tardy smelt
#

This WoF sugg

#

I am in 50/50

#

The lasers actually have a pattern

#

But they are boring and tedious
It becomes a rhythm game where if you miss the timing you get punished

#

And if WoF enrages you get fucked

deft yew
#

"if"

#

is actually a valid statement because HOW DO I TELL WHEN IT ENRAGES OR NOT

ruby plover
#

It zooms and then slow block-piercing lasers

safe oasis
deft yew
#

i'm referring to how do i stop it from enraging without mining for two years straight

hollow shell
#

That is not what you said

deft yew
#

i do that sometimes

:sorrymate:

uncut quiver
#

my holy ray sugg seems to have met the same issue as the two that the one guy posted about in here

#

It’s past 200 stars with no green check mark

hollow shell
#

ok

#

aight there

#

Spotted another one too

#

(and another)

#

Okay I'll do another star tally now, for like the past 2 months
Would be good to get the req raised before Drae update comes out and people flood in

uncut quiver
#

thanks

hollow shell
#

(and by "now" I mean in a little bit after I eat)

hollow shell
#

Okay cool I've done it

#

Over a 2 month span
Here are the star count graphs, with arbitrary values of note:

#

We definitely need to raise the requirement.

fossil finch
#

Sugg recession

hollow shell
#

Ideally the delivery rate would be around 20% to 25%
Here it is zoomed in on that area of interest

dapper coral
#

280 stars huh

#

jeez

hollow shell
#

It would probably be 280 stars or 300 stars

#

yeah

dapper coral
#

id say 300 because viewership of suggs is only gonna increase once dr drae rolls around

#

(also because round number happy)

hollow shell
#

mhm

#

Though, the amount of suggestions will also increase

#

So drowning will happen quicker

#

And I'm not sure how that maths out

dapper coral
#

true

#

yeahhh we probably wont know that until it happens

#

that being said id think more people are likely to lurk in #suggestions-voting to star things than to actually post a sugg themselves

keen zealot
#

if you're gonna increase it, start at 250

dapper coral
#

porque

grim tusk
#

Yea probably 250

hollow shell
#

Well even that would be like
37%

keen zealot
#

keyword is start

#

if, after a month, the pass rates are still too high for your liking, up it again

ashen warren
#

ye

keen zealot
#

imo a high passrate isn't necessarily bad

#

what matters more is the average time taken to get there

grim tusk
#

250 seems like the point of diminishing returns, 280 could probably be the optimal point

exotic stag
#

280 is like a "okay lets try this before seeing if it needs less or more"

hollow shell
#

byeah I think 280 is optimal, despite how unsatisfyingly close it is to 300

dapper coral
#

shifting to 250 and then changing it later seems a bit pointless given the data

#

especially considering that we're only gonna see higher star rates in the near future

#

280 at the very least

distant gyro
#

personally a 270 er

hollow shell
#

That's also fine

#

We did 170 at one point so it'd be like poetry, it rhymes

#

(deliver rate would still be a little high though)

hollow shell
#

btw shoutouts to this suggestion with the lowest star count I have seen in a long time

#

(though they technically got what they wanted, some of its strength was due to an oversight which has now been fixed)

languid quartz
#

damn HDfailure

exotic stag
#

but like

#

its 2 hrs old so like

hollow shell
#

Yeah recent suggs don't count

silver silo
#

my eyes

hollow shell
#

Not a fair comparison

loud cloak
uncut quiver
#

hey Rover, is a suggestion only seen by the devs when it reaches that star req or do some reach it via discussion?

#

asking bc minor stuff like the yanmei's knife sfx thing was agreed with but didn't get the star req

#

and im curious about the process

torn crown
#

Wdym by 'agreed with'

#

You mean 🛠️ or 👍?

fossil finch
torn crown
uncut quiver
#

agreed with in the discussion channel is what i mean @torn crown

#

like positively discussed there

torn crown
#

Uhh yeah

#

That doesn't really mean anything

uncut quiver
#

figured

#

still curious

hollow shell
#

Suggestions are officially delivered to the dev server when they reach the req
There, they are officially tagged and voted on, and get the official approval/rejection on the sugg message here

torn crown
#

It does however remind me that one time Iban did a sigma male move and sprited a sugg right off the bat

hollow shell
#

Devs are of course free to look in this server and talk about suggs that don't reach the req

#

And even implement them, if they want

fossil finch
#

Can't wait for rotten brain matter
taxevasion

hollow shell
#

The star system is just a way for suggestions to end up in the dev server and be permanently recorded there as being something the public would like to see, cuz they reached 200 public star votes

#

I am of course a dev too and I see every suggestion that comes through regardless of the stars it ends up getting

... and being the sound effects guy I also just so happened to make Yanmei's Knife sound effects, with the guidance of the donor, because of your suggestion, and officially submitted them, even though your suggestion didn't reach the req

#

(I'll 🏁 the sugg once it gets implemented)

torn crown
#

Oh

uncut quiver
#

oh alright that makes sense

#

and you made some Yanmei's effects? niiice

#

can't wait to hear them when the update drops and my buddies do a playthrough

#

thanks for the explanation on how the system and interaction works here too

#

i like the dev interaction with the suggestions, discussing suggestions has always been fun for me so I'll definitely participate in here more (if I can think of any suggestions, don't wanna be bloating it here now)

silver silo
crude geode
#

Yeah certain things are so simple that it’s just a matter of being forgotten about tbh

uncut quiver
#

yea and some things are just too minor for some people to care about dropping a star for

silver silo
#

Hey question who here actually uses the vanilla flamethrower

uncut quiver
#

you know what I don't think I ever used it

silver silo
#

it costs souls of fright but nobody ever cares

#

has there been a suggestion before about letting it use cursed flames (and maybe ichor) as ammo

#

@hollow shell my man

hollow shell
#

Making flamethrowers use any ammo that isn't gel is apparently an absolute nightmare and may very well be completely impossible

silver silo
#

oof I had no idea

#

wait but what about different gels

#

pink, forgot the name of the calamity one

#

blighted?

hollow shell
#

When I say "gel" I mean "Gel", the item named "Gel"

silver silo
#

right

#

is terraria really that picky

hollow shell
#

The other items that're thematically similar have no bearing on the fact that they're different items in code

silver silo
#

honestly what did I even expect from an item from that long ago in terraria code

#

of course its that fucky

crude geode
#

A lawnmower from the sixties does indeed have better code than terraria

silver silo
#

alright well what about a sugg to add upgrades to it that DO allow the use of cursed flame and such

#

so at least it can be made INTO something less useless

#

hell why not biome flamethrowers that fire cursed flame, ichor and rainbows respectively

crude geode
#

making flamethrowers use any ammo that isn’t gel

silver silo
#

I assumed he meant the flamethrower considering he said the others are different items in code

#

also hey they don't have to have the ammo changed anyway, theres no cursed/ichor/rainbow flamethrower right

crude geode
#

The easier solution to this “problem” is to accept the fact that flamethrower is a group damaging weapon at a time where it isn’t really necessary

silver silo
#

🤷‍♂️

crude geode
#

I stg I bring this point up every time someone mentions a weapon that doesn’t perform well against bosses

silver silo
#

personally I just want to see a weapon that nobody cares about have some use even if its niche

#

and I mean lets be honest the concept of a cursed flamethrower has existed for ages

crude geode
#

I mean

#

The flamethrower’s niche is that it’s a piercing weapon in a mod where Daedalus + Holy Arrows gets nerfed

#

Plus it provides a large amount of light as well tbfh

silver silo
crude geode
#

Which is nice if you’re exploring underground oh hey I wonder what happens after you beat the mech bosses

hollow shell
#

Yes we could add a new weapon that spews cursed flames and uses them as ammo

#

though I don't know how difficult it would or wouldn't be to classify it as a "flamethrower"

#

because currently that classification is
any weapon that consumes Gel as ammo

#

(which is why Overloaded Blaster is a "flamethrower")

obsidian cove
#

When you say classify as a flamethrower, what’s changing because of that?

#

Is there damage boost for flamethrowers or something similar, or is it something about the behavior itself

hollow shell
#

Shroomite Visage

obsidian cove
#

Makes sense

silver silo
#

oh I forgot they even had a flamethrower boost item

#

lmfao

silver silo
hollow shell
#

You could but you'd need to be careful in your wording

#

You need to explain why an item like that would benefit the game/mod

crude geode
#

Also finding reasoning behind it would be a bit wack

silver silo
#

well what else do cursed flames have use for

obsidian cove
#

I guess couldn’t you set the ammo type to gel, return false for consume ammo, then manually consume/check for ammo in shoot and change the tooltip manually in modify tool tips?

Not 100% sure about that implementation but I don’t see why it shouldn’t work

silver silo
#

crafting and thats about it

#

also no wonder I felt like a cursed flamethrower was familiar, spazmatism LITERALLY DOES THAT

#

Does it really need a use besides crafting though

hollow shell
#

You could say that about any material yeah

silver silo
#

I guess since you're gonna get a lot of it due to soul farming?

#

would be nice to have further use

crude geode
#

Bullets and Arrows

frozen hornet
#

Flasks as well

silver silo
#

how long are those going to remain useful though

#

compared to needing souls of night

crude geode
#

Throughout the game????????

#

Cursed Flames and Ichor are universally used through the game because it’s DR reduction

hollow shell
#

The Cursed Flames debuff did get buffed quite a bit in Calamity yeah

#

Cursed Inferno, rather

silver silo
#

I see

crude geode
#

A weapon gets outclassed easily

#

A debuff from either bows or guns (whichever you don’t prefer using) that scales through the game doesn’t

silver silo
hollow shell
#

(in that aspect, Cursed Flames and Ichor actually get way more usage than many other raw crafting materials)

#

((if you're a strategic player))

silver silo
#

when I was thinking about it, something that came to mind was the weird idea of pixie dust being the hallow equivalent, used for rainbow ammo

#

but thats just a weird thought

crude geode
#

It is a bit odd that there isn’t actually a hallow debuff to mirror Cursed Inferno and Ichor, vanilla speaking.

silver silo
#

crystal has a unique effect but no debuff

#

also no crystal arrows

#

only holy arrows

#

of which there are no bullets

crude geode
#

Yeah Crystal would possibly be the equivalent (if it wasn’t massively underused by Vanilla)

silver silo
#

imagine a rainbow trailed bullet/arrow though

#

wait a second rover what the fuck does the clentaminator count as then

#

🤨

frozen hornet
#

Clentaminator is clentaminator

silver silo
#

it sort of shoots like a flamethrower

frozen hornet
#

Purifying flamethrower HDfailure

#

Post-provi upgrade

silver silo
#

right click flamethrower, left click clentaminator

uncut quiver
#

cut straight to the chase: clentaminator that turns enemies into blocks depending on solution used, easy clap

#

as for a serious point: I think one avenue that could be improved on flamethrowers is buffing the DoT effect they apply (vanilla flamethrower applies the on fire effect that doesn't stack and does bad dps)

#

make it so you can apply multiple of the same DoT (of course I'm not well informed about how good the endgame calamity DoTs are so balancing would have to be done)

grim tusk
#

Maybe maybe maybe Oiled debuff?

#

A more reliable way than applying it would be nice lmao

uncut quiver
#

wait what even is that i gotta look that up

#

wow

#

it's that

grim tusk
#

Rather than huntress/red riding set + explosive trap

grim tusk
uncut quiver
#

yea just looked it up

#

I still think having DoTs stackable (we don't have to go RoR2 bleed stacking route but something that lets the DoTs shine more would be good) would be neat

#

would have to have some formula and some balancing because i think stacking one thing of god slayer inferno per hit of an endgame weapon would be busted no doubt

#

it would not only give flamethrowers some more love, but it would also open avenue to some new accessories and ways to buff/punish the player

#

having boss DoTs stack sounds kinda hellish though, it'd have to be balanced on both sides (player and enemy) if DoTs were made stackable

#

as for oiled, yea it'd be cool if we could get more ways to apply it (it would also probably have to be modified too because having each stack buffed by that much would be busted)

cobalt pewter
#

Not sure if cal did it already, but Oiled could maybe get a tweak to recognize debuffs with a specific "fire dot" tag instead of specific debuffs

#

(afaik oiled in vanilla just procs off specific debuffs instead of a category)

uncut quiver
#

that would be good too

#

I think another problem is that DoTs are muddied and given to so many non-flame related weapons that it makes flamethrowers lose what identity they barely had (besides good continuous crowd damage)

#

like

#

galaxy smasher

#

by itself, applies god slayer inferno, frostburn, and on fire

#

and it's just a hammer that has some lasers

#

I feel like the DoTs are just added to most endgame weps at that point (unless I chose the worst sample of galaxy smasher and this is not the case for other endgame weps)

#

when they should only be reserved for when they make sense, not just oh it's a cosmilite weapon it inflicts god slayer inferno now (just checked other weapons, they basically have the same problem as galaxy smasher just not with the frostbite/On fire)

#

you don't see this same problem in vanilla, as all of the endgame weapons do not apply any sort of DoT when it doesn't make good sense (it’s like if all vanilla ML weapons applied some random new DoT. I do get that the nature of the post-ML sets being very closely themed calls for a mentality where if one wep gets the DoT, all of them should, but this should not be the case [with exceptions]).

#

making DoTs a more focused and unique aspect of a weapon while also making them better by giving them stacking capabilities (with significant balance adjustments on both sides of course) would probably pave way for flamethrowers to stand out as a unique choice and for more cool ideas to be made (like more things that can apply Oiled, or things that mess with DoT stacking, or weapons that have conditial reqs related to DoT stacking)

#

that's just my take on the flamethrower situation and I'd be down to discuss it

frozen hornet
#

(this was on exoglad)

#

I like the idea of removing DoTs from weapons and buffing their damage

small timber
#

i think removing dots on most endgame weapons while buffing their damage is probably not feasible, too much dev time and balance nightmare

#

but nerfing weapons dots in general and buff certain dots for dots centric weapons might be good

#

although as of currently most dots do not do much against their respective boss tier (except cursed inferno and ichor which are debuff) so not even sure if nerf is necessary

uncut quiver
#

it just has that cluttered mod energy right now where they slap shit on weapons just because

small timber
#

the problem is mostly just dev time, that is a lot of work for something most people do not care about

frozen hornet
#

Buff DoTs and remove them from most weapons

uncut quiver
#

yea true

#

I’ll probably shoot the suggestion anyways

small timber
#

just personally i think people will care much more about viable dots weapon than removing dots from others

frozen hornet
uncut quiver
#

There’s no harm in at least trying to notify the devs about it

#

So imma post a sugg about it

crude geode
#

DoT don't matter specifically because it's given to every single weapon in a tier

frozen hornet
#

Ye

crude geode
#

The only current method to make a debuff weapon viable is to give it debuffs from way beyond the current point. It's why Mythril Knives apply goddamn God Slayer Inferno

frozen hornet
#

Very funny

crude geode
#

yep

small timber
#

mainly if there is stackable dots, currently (though I definitely miss some) the only one i can think of is vanilla daybreak debuff

crude geode
#

Weapons with said debuffs as the main draw could be made a lot more strong if they're not given to literally every single weapon in a given tier (i.e. stop giving every plague debuff to all of the plague weapons).
