aight mb

fleet igloo
#

But I'm throwing it out just to see if it can happen

cobalt pewter
#

OD can totally have better weapon and "expert" drops

#

but I doubt a new item will change anything

golden tulip
#

aight but most optional calamity bosses' drops suck

cobalt heath
#

actually not really

fleet igloo
#

Most of them at least have a rage/adren upgrade

cobalt pewter
#

I can't remember optional bosses' drops to comment on em

cobalt heath
#

all polter weapons are good, levi drops are good too, ravager etc

golden tulip
#

i never see myself using ravager or poltro drops

#

levi has 1 good weapon which is the flask

#

pbg has 1 good weapon which is the malachite

fleet igloo
#

At least these bosses do other things when beaten

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah

golden tulip
#

aureus or deus drops?

rapid hamlet
#

Both

golden tulip
#

do people actually use that

#

guess im just a meta slave HDfailure

rapid hamlet
#

Slave

cobalt pewter
#

if anything I'd line OD closer to Duke in drops, most of Duke's drops do really well

#

(Tempest Staff is debatable and Duke's Decap is dog ass, but the rest are good at least)

fleet igloo
#

Isn't Duke expert drop pretty good though

rapid hamlet
#

I do

golden tulip
#

i literally dont know a single dog drop

cobalt heath
#

i do

#

exelsus is pretty gud

sleek wadi
#

Shrimpy Truffle is good in vanilla, not sure if it keeps up with calamity outside of wacky stuff like submerged arenas

cobalt pewter
#

Eradicator is a funny

rapid hamlet
cobalt heath
#

and the whip thing

cobalt pewter
cobalt heath
#

for grindng

rapid hamlet
#

Ye harder daddy

golden tulip
#

bro

cobalt pewter
#

like even without any rain or liquids, in vanilla fishron mount ZOOMS at half health or lower

cobalt heath
#

and the pony

rapid hamlet
#

Mlp

fleet igloo
#

Old Duke mount could work, but exo chair probably far outclasses it

#

But it lasts long enough I think

cobalt heath
#

and you get pony right after

golden tulip
#

just buff existing drops

rapid hamlet
#

Pony

golden tulip
#

daniel why do you feel the need to repeat everything

sleek wadi
#

Mutated Truffle could do more for other classes I guess

rapid hamlet
cobalt heath
#

because i can

rapid hamlet
#

Ye

cobalt heath
#

cobalt heath

Ye

golden tulip
#

splendid

rapid hamlet
#

Splendid

cobalt heath
#

ye lets stop we get reported for spam

fleet igloo
#

Actually should I just reword it to "buff Mutated Truffle", sounds much more doable

cobalt pewter
#

what does Mutated Truffle do again

rapid hamlet
cobalt pewter
#

[[Mutated Truffle]]

red stormBOT
fleet igloo
sleek wadi
#

Gives you a small old duke summon and thats it

rapid hamlet
fleet igloo
#

Yeah maybe make it do things for other classes in addition to the summon?

cobalt pewter
#

let us ride the smol duke

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah

rapid hamlet
fleet igloo
#

Alright, so do I reword it to "give Mutated Truffle a better use"

golden tulip
#

ig

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah

#

Yes

fleet igloo
#

Alright I'll probably delete this one for now

#

inb4 I wait another week to have the motivation to type it out

rapid hamlet
#

How about no?

golden tulip
#

jesus christ daniel

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah i love u too

fleet igloo
#

Does Mutated Truffle have any more flaws I can use to drag it down even more

cobalt heath
#

remember dont drag it

#

1 point is enough

rapid hamlet
#

Sure

cobalt pewter
#

I feel like Mutated Truffle can be something like GSA, utilizing summon slots to be better on some way

cobalt heath
#

you got yelled at for it yesterday

cobalt pewter
#

granted then it'd be a summoner accessory but lo

fleet igloo
#

I'd probably prefer it to be usable by any class

rapid hamlet
#

Same

sleek wadi
#

I don't think Summoner particularly likes mutated truffle as the summon is all it does and other summoner accessories give you both more minions and some nice side goodies

cobalt pewter
#

if it at least works really good on a class, it's a fine enough buff to me. Jack of all trades, master of none

#

like

#

doesn't really entice me

rapid hamlet
#

Ur right

golden tulip
#

this dude

sleek wadi
#

Mutated Truffle should have some kind of extra goodies to make it more appealing to summoner at least

cobalt pewter
#

see how Luxor Gift is intended to be usable for all classes yet it does absolute jackshit on summoner HDfailure

golden tulip
#

wdym you dont like your flying music note :clueless

sleek wadi
#

More than just buffing the summon itself. The current tooltip really doesn't make it all that enticing to use

#

Its just "Summon a dude, dude gets angry at 50%"

rapid hamlet
golden tulip
#

thanks

sleek wadi
#

Why would I spend a slot on that at post-ML where accessories start getting either nutty effects or a ton of them

cobalt pewter
#

hopefully shrines rework would address the items as well, hopefully

rapid hamlet
#

Like green Nutella, thats lit

fleet igloo
#

Rework Mutated Truffle

Currently, Mutated Truffle doesn't have much use for non-summoner players, and even for summoners it's not that useful, as other accessories at that stage provide way more utility. I think it would be better to rework it to give it more utility so that it can be used by all players, so that they have more incentive to seek out Old Duke. [uhh whatever effects it would have I guess]

How about this

cobalt pewter
#

for "expert" accs on that lategame, it needs to be broken to be good, yes, like Neb Core

#

well, broken as in crutch, for neb core's case

#

but point still stands

golden tulip
#

what expert accessories HDhurdur

sleek wadi
#

You should leave what effects it should have blank as that gives devs all the freedom they want to make it cool

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah

fleet igloo
#

I'm probably going to give vague suggestions or something so that devs can know what the idea is?

sleek wadi
#

Doesn't matter what the cooler Mutated Truffle looks like, just that it exists

fleet igloo
#

I'm worried that it'll turn out to be not that worth it even after the rework

rapid hamlet
#

Dont worry about it mate

fleet igloo
#

The suggestions would just be something like "a possible way to do it would be to [whatever it is]"

golden tulip
#

i have no idea if that comes close to a sis

rapid hamlet
#

Same

golden tulip
#

daniel listen my dude you are seriously annoying me

rapid hamlet
#

U wanna be friends?

golden tulip
#

no

#

fuck off

rapid hamlet
#

U sure?

fleet igloo
sleek wadi
#

That wouldn't be SIS if its something like "give it a damage boost or something"

golden tulip
#

thatd just be buffing and youd need specific testing for that

fleet igloo
#

what does SIS mean

golden tulip
#

specific item suggestion

sleek wadi
#

SIS is more so "Make it deal 2500 damage, use time of 10, shoots at this angle, etc."

golden tulip
#

explanation is in the suggestion doc

fleet igloo
#

I'll probably add the "expert drop" part into the sugg

#

Would bringing up Old Duke's place in progression (the "sulph sea final boss" thing) help or hurt

golden tulip
#

expert drops dont exist

#

lol

fleet igloo
#

Making it an upgraded Luxor's Gift sounds good

muted osprey
#

honestly it'd be pretty cool if mutated truffle became a mount instead and on top of infinite flight you get a dash ability

#

so that people don't only use slime mount and draedon gamer chair

golden tulip
#

and sus bean

muted osprey
#

supposedly people don't use jelly bean anymore because it thicc

rapid hamlet
#

@golden tulip so we friends, right?

eternal escarp
#

jelly is slower iirc but works in water

#

thats the pro/con basically

#

aka slimy is usually more used

golden tulip
#

huh

#

i thought sus bean was an upgrade

muted osprey
#

isn't jelly faster or did they change that

eternal escarp
#

mightve changed in 1.5?

rapid hamlet
untold pagoda
eternal escarp
#

but i remember slimy being faster

fleet igloo
#

Rework Mutated Truffle

Currently, Mutated Truffle doesn't have much use for non-summoner players, and even for summoners it's not that useful, as other accessories at that stage provide way more utility.

Old Duke has a climactic place in progression, serving as the final boss of the sulphurous sea, however the rewards from beating it feel underwhelming as of now. Reworking its "Expert drop", its one guaranteed drop to make it more useful to the other classes so that it can be used by all players as well as putting it on the same usefulness level as the other "Expert drops" at its stage would go a long way in solve this problem, and give players much more incentive to fight the boss.

Some possible ways to do it would be to make it a mount to keep with the Fishron theming, or by making its effect vary depending on what weapon is being held similarly to Luxor's gift.

#

How about this

untold pagoda
#

hmmm

rapid hamlet
#

Hmm

untold pagoda
#

or just change the way the truffle attacks

muted osprey
#

honestly quite incredible really

rapid hamlet
#

Agreed

untold pagoda
#

yeah just changing the way it attacks is good

#

would make it a lot flashier and cooler

#

and well, better

#

cause then it could keep up with enemies

rapid hamlet
#

U tell them

untold pagoda
#

no

eternal escarp
#

cool the vanilla wiki says everything about the slimy mount except fall speed

untold pagoda
#

its your sugg

rapid hamlet
#

Its my ligma

fleet igloo
#

I'd prefer to not make it class specific though

eternal escarp
#

but jelly bean has a 102 max fall speed which im fairly certain is slightly lower then slimy mount

golden tulip
#

can this guy get banned

muted osprey
#

I still would prefer it to be a mount such that people stop using slime mount and draedon's rgb gaming setup

fleet igloo
#

Unless the summon deals different class damage depending on the help weapon?

untold pagoda
eternal escarp
#

could just ping a mod instead of letting him continue :/

#

anyhow

rapid hamlet
#

I didnt do anything

muted osprey
#

being an annoyance counts as doing something :D

rapid hamlet
#

No

untold pagoda
#

its called being disruptive

#

which is against the rules

golden tulip
#

pixl is offline 🥺

eternal escarp
#

i wouldnt call many of the expert drops post ml to be

#

very good

rapid hamlet
#

But at least Nutella is my new friend

untold pagoda
#

affliction is good

eternal escarp
#

only one i can thing of is Nebulous Core nowadays

#

oh Affliction is expert?

untold pagoda
#

yea

eternal escarp
#

well then yeah that too

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah

muted osprey
#

smh blat

eternal escarp
#

but like, Blazing Core and ML's drop and Dynamo Cells are

untold pagoda
#

blazing core is decent too

eternal escarp
#

ech

muted osprey
#

byeah only those 2 are good

eternal escarp
#

they exist but
they arent worth

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah

muted osprey
#

dynamo cells can be decent

untold pagoda
#

stem cells are "ok" with fast firing things

eternal escarp
#

Dynamo Cells has more use for the 15% MS

muted osprey
#

everything else should just go into the trash

#

lol?

rapid hamlet
#

Agreed

eternal escarp
#

the funny little dragonfollys arent too good afaik

untold pagoda
#

its like p90

#

one isnt very good but a lot of them is great

eternal escarp
#

byeah i agree with the general idea of Mutated Truffle needing more then just being a summon weapon in accessory form

golden tulip
#

OD just not really worth rn in general

eternal escarp
#

nut thats half wrong imo

untold pagoda
eternal escarp
#

many OD drops are really good

golden tulip
#

like which

untold pagoda
#

worth as in fun

golden tulip
#

yeah od is a very fun boss

eternal escarp
#

Insidious Impaler, Toxicant Twister, Fetid Emesis, Skeptic Skewer

muted osprey
#

OD is fun but I'm bad

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah fun

muted osprey
#

lol?

eternal escarp
#

untold pagoda
#

i think thats its name

tardy smelt
eternal escarp
#

was about to say

golden tulip
#

like i said guess im just a meta slave HDfailure

fleet igloo

rapid hamlet

eternal escarp

rapid hamlet

golden tulip

rapid hamlet
#

How im being annoying

untold pagoda
#

by being cringe and disruptive

#

clearly

eternal escarp
#

you are pretty much promoting nothing to the convo and disrupting yeah

rapid hamlet
#

No?

marble hazel
#

aight lets all calm down now

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah

eternal escarp
#

byeah back to the topic for me
OD's drops are rather good, Mutated Truffle is a bit of a let down

marble hazel
#

i think what they mean si that yo ucant just send one off messages coz it contributes nothing

muted osprey
#

forcing people to be your friend

eternal escarp
#

so i do agree with the sugg and it looks good to post

#

oh you already posted it

#

cool

marble hazel
#

so if you're gonna saysomethin atleast let it have some value instead of "yeah" "emote" "lol"

untold pagoda
marble hazel
#

thats all bye

rapid hamlet
#

Bye

eternal escarp

basically its "have no life regen and you get slightly better destroyer emblem"

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah that's so wrong

eternal escarp
#

aka you use Omega Blue

#

its not wrong, thats not what the topic was

muted osprey
#

it's not "wrong", it's not worth it

rapid hamlet
#

It doesn't matter anymore

muted osprey
#

???

rapid hamlet
#

U wanna be friends?

golden tulip
#

holy fucking shit

muted osprey
#

no

rapid hamlet
#

Why not

eternal escarp
#

yeah just block at this point

rapid hamlet
#

Block what

#

Yeah man im so happy

untold pagoda
#

this guy is annoying

golden tulip
#

i cant tell if its a troll or a 9 year old

eternal escarp
rapid hamlet
#

Its both

eternal escarp
#

like, the sky is dark for a reason

#

subtos ban

muted osprey
#

called it

eternal escarp
#

in Rev+ theres the sky changing color when he changes AI

rapid hamlet
#

Yeah

cobalt heath
#

thats what that means?

eternal escarp
#

but im fairly certain the whole point for Deathmode is to not tell you when he switches AI

eternal escarp
#

yeah thats what it means

golden tulip
#

ye

untold pagoda
#

its based more on reaction time

#

to react to ai changes

golden tulip
#

ngl i have never paid attention to the sky

eternal escarp
#

i think pink is aggresive, blue is passive

untold pagoda
#

you could also count so uh

eternal escarp
#

yeah lol

#

id ping the suggestor about that but honestly

#

doubt itd pass anyways

muted osprey
#

I mean it's not cool when DoG suddenly dashes to you at record speeds and you take a shitton of damage

eternal escarp
#

seeing as they want to make the thing that is purposefully hiddeon from the player unhidden

cobalt heath
#

and just putting minimap behind you for the fight

untold pagoda
muted osprey
#

when 2 seconds ago he was just letting you hit him

rapid hamlet
#

Hi aleks

eternal escarp
#

boss suggestions can pass

#

OD looking to where he dashes instead of the player was a sugg

cobalt heath
#

the thing is that suggs can pass but devs can reject them

untold pagoda
#

i wonder if balks would change

eternal escarp
#

when we say pass we theoretically mean approved in this sense

rapid hamlet
#

I wonder too

untold pagoda
golden tulip
#

balks?

untold pagoda
#

i think my sugg is decebt

rapid hamlet
#

I think so too

eternal escarp

cause dad jokes are not allowed to be funnyHDfailure

rapid hamlet

But they r

muted osprey
#

damn .....

#

can't argue with that

cobalt heath
#

i want to make a sugg idea wich isnt possible atm

#

or is possible but would be easier after 1.4 tmod

#

scal telling stories of her adventures based on what biome she is

#

exactly

eternal escarp
#

"ah yes this is the ocean i burned"
"ah yes this is the civilization i was forced to destroy"
"ah yes this is the mountain where my family was killed"

golden tulip
#

i really wanna know what biome scal would love

eternal escarp
#

purity, i think?

#

shed likely hate the biomes she touched, i.e desert and crags

cobalt heath
#

i feel like she would go nicely to sky islands

eternal escarp
#

sky islands is purity

cobalt heath
#

oh

eternal escarp
#

by technicallity

#

because sky islands are not a biome

golden tulip
#

doubt crags would get a pylon

#

its a hostile biome

eternal escarp
#

i think the only idealized pylon is sunken sea?

golden tulip
#

hm

eternal escarp
#

who knows ig

cobalt heath
#

we shall see

golden tulip
#

sulph sea pylon 🥺

eternal escarp
#

i mean amidias goes ocean
cirrus goes hallow
permafrost goes tundra
bandit and scal go purity ig

#

no one

golden tulip
#

yharim :troll

eternal escarp
#

Silva

cobalt heath
#

bandit i think want to be in caves

muted osprey
#

Yharim when he is constantly reminded of war crimes!

golden tulip
#

who'd love the sunken sea then HDfailure

cobalt heath
#

yharim goes to the jungle

golden tulip
#

implying yharim becomes a town npc

cobalt heath
#

we know we wont kill him

eternal escarp
#

angler is already ocean

golden tulip
#

we dont kill draedon either but he doesnt turn into a town npc

eternal escarp
#

i dont see why'd they relocate vanilla npcs tbh

cobalt heath
#

cause draedon isnt actually there, its a hologram

golden tulip
#

angler is great at the ocean we literally find him there

golden tulip
eternal escarp
#

amidias would be desert
if the desert was the ocean it used to be

#

so

#

hed likely go ocean

#

the issue with making sunken sea houses is that

cobalt heath
#

the thing is

#

where does fabsol goe

eternal escarp
#

water always generates in the unsafe walls

#

hallow

golden tulip
#

also do we know that we wont kill yharim??

eternal escarp
#

cirrus is pretty much confirmed hallow

#

we dont

cobalt heath
#

its has been implied we wont

eternal escarp
#

since when HDFailure

golden tulip
#

yea like howd u get that info laoo

cobalt heath
#

but no concretic info

eternal escarp
#

ive never heard any implications to anything that isnt the idea of yharim's fight

cobalt heath
#

okay yeah we have nothing to say we wont kill him

small timber
#

Isnt amidiss sunken sea? Didnt refer above I assume talking about npc happiness

eternal escarp
#

amidias doesnt live in the sunken sea

#

he used to live in the ocean that became the desert

cobalt heath
#

he is trapped there

eternal escarp
#

after blah blah scal destroyed the ocean lore lo

golden tulip
#

archmage gets to go back to cryo's body :clueless

eternal escarp
#

he just fled to the sunken sea yeah

small timber
#

calamity non-sulphur sea side ocean rework soon™️ in year 2030

eternal escarp
#

LnA exist
enough iirc HDFailure

#

the ocean is too small for major content anyways

#

it has a couple of enemies and another boss i think its somewhat enough

#

Leviathan and Anahita

cobalt heath
#

anyways sugg dc

frozen hornet
small timber
#

They can expand downwards and put an underwater city there, but ya this is out of topic

frozen hornet
#

it's after you shoot him down that he reappears as a hologram

eternal escarp
#

i mean the underwater city wasnt in the same ocean

cobalt heath
#

sugg dc go to lore or general

eternal escarp
#

so itd not make much sense

#

also this discussion is about a theoretical sugg you proposed which can very well be suggested currently

#

or well

#

atleast the scal part was

cobalt heath
#

i know but i also think about devs

eternal escarp
#

Amidias being the only major lore giver is pretty uh, yeah

#

though id argue the Bestiary will help with providing lore aswell

cobalt heath
#

its annoying to custom code something when something in the future can implement it much easier

golden tulip
#

i imagine a big chunk of lore will be accessible with the bestiary in 1.4

eternal escarp
#

i mean

#

you can just check

#

if scal is in biome then

#

allow dialogue

small timber
#

I think just tell it by souls-game/elden ring approach, the lore is there but if you dont care about it the game also dont stuff it in your face

eternal escarp
#

its not that hard afaik

golden tulip
eternal escarp
#

way less complex then other things

cobalt heath
#

aight imma sug it after i do my swedish work

eternal escarp
#

also lore in cal is being majorly rewritten so
its not weird that it isnt told that well currently

small timber
#

Nono I dont mean the game currently does that, I mean the approach to tell lore in general

eternal escarp
#

fair

fleet igloo
#

I always thought they're also slowly integrating the new lore? As in, they won't do something like change the entire lore in an update, instead doing it in a more gradual way

eternal escarp
#

yeah newer additions would usually follow new lore

#

(if said addition is lore related, not everything is

golden tulip
#

idek what the new lore is

#

like, where does it end and where does it start HDfailure

eternal escarp
#

its not exactly public i think since some parts of it are still

golden tulip
#

is draedon lore new

eternal escarp
#

being rewritten

#

draedon is canon currently

#

while things like DoG's design are not

golden tulip
#

huh

#

interesting

eternal escarp
#

currently SCal is also lore accurate

#

while Calamitas isnt exactly

cobalt pewter
#

mrrp

eternal escarp
#

mrrp is cringe

cobalt pewter
#

so true

small timber

eternal escarp
#

mostly Calamitas' design aswell

#

since SCal isnt an eye

#

and neither should her clone be

golden tulip
#

the clone was very failed

eternal escarp
cobalt heath
#

clone needs new art

golden tulip
#

there is concept art for a new design

muted osprey
#

how do you fuck up the cloning of a human so bad it becomes a metal eye

golden tulip

cobalt heath
#

it needs change so we get something later

cause thats kinda obvious so i think art team is on it

#

but yharon first of cource

golden tulip
#

brimmy will be next i think

cobalt heath
#

i think aureus was gonna get a resprite too sometime later?

eternal escarp
#

brimmy is close to done i think

#

yharon aswell

#

cryogen is half going

golden tulip
eternal escarp
#

calamitas only has concept art aswell as DoG

#

spriting isnt easy :/

cobalt heath
#

and i think the both scourges again

eternal escarp
#

plus they dont work 24/7

golden tulip
#

yeah i get that spriting is hard but then dont say its nearly done HDfailure

cobalt heath
#

ceaseless is being worked on too

eternal escarp
#

the sprite is nearly done

#

animating the sprite?

what even is a library shared tml

harder way of getting it work, library share is just someone else owns the game but he shares in steam with you

golden tulip
frozen hornet
#

Clearly it isn't being worked on

eternal escarp
#

yeah it wasnt said its actively worked on

#

iirc

golden tulip
#

i suppose so

frozen hornet
#

Nitro left and no one wants to do it yet

#

That's why it's been like that for a year

golden tulip
#

in other words, its not coming taxevasion

frozen hornet
#

Not anytime soon

#

Unless iban or somebody does a funny

golden tulip
#

teal name

#

even though dragonfolly is also teal but in its description it says "it's not being worked on" 😐

cobalt heath
#

dragfolly doesnt rly need one

eternal escarp
#

complain to iban i think

cobalt heath
#

it looks so good atm

golden tulip
#

i like folly

cobalt heath
#

folly is derpy

#

and that fits

eternal escarp
#

(doesnt really imo)

#

its a good sprite but id personally like an even more serious look at the design

frozen hornet
#

It's a bird

#

I don't really see the derpiness

eternal escarp
#

as little "bumblebird" we can get the better

golden tulip
#

ive never seen it as derpy

#

lol

eternal escarp
#

its currently fine but i could dig up a better redesign

golden tulip
#

you can?

frozen hornet
#

Dig it up then and show us taxevasion

cobalt heath
#

the funny thing is that we could just make em ourselves

eternal escarp
#

wrong intention when i said dig up

golden tulip
#

that is a bold statement HDfailure

cobalt heath
#

and sugg it

eternal escarp
#

i meant as in

#

"id be up if something better was made"

golden tulip
#

hm

cobalt heath
#

but its in no hurry

frozen hornet
golden tulip
#

iban is top tier HDfailure

eternal escarp
#

boss redesigns will never be accepted anyways

golden tulip
#

byea i think either brimmy or maybe cryo will be next

cobalt heath
#

metarex is proof that yes rarely we can make it better (he made polter before he was a dev)

cobalt pewter
#

boss (re)sprites and AI are probably the off limits for suggs

cobalt heath
#

yup

#

iban comes and puts a sword up your ass if you try to rush art devs

cobalt pewter
#

boss resprites have always been usually turned down if it's for no significant reason anyways

#

even before iban

#

(I think)

cobalt heath
#

gotta love iban do

frozen hornet
#

If you had a concept it'd be better to submit in the art server (and get denied)

eternal escarp
#

yeah boss sprite submittions usually sont pass because they hold very high standards

#

and because pretty much devs always have plans for lackluster sprites

#

(yharon, polterghast

frozen hornet
#

I'm pretty sure the last boss resprite that was accepted was slime god

eternal escarp
#

it was made by someone in the team wasnt it

cobalt heath
#

unless you make something actually really good it wont even get considered

frozen hornet
#

It was made by xelo

fossil finch
eternal escarp
#

no it doesnt matter if its really good
bonkers sprites were made and rejected

#

they conflicted with dev plans and therefore rejected

cobalt heath
#

so pretty much the art team has ideas and they need to make it so they enjoy and are able to make it

eternal escarp
#

i domt understand that statement exactly

#

its just that the spriters have their own designs that also fit with other plans for the developmemt of the mod

#

which is why its unlikely for any external boss redesign to make it in

#

or any weapon that is planned reworks (biome blade was an example

#

etc

#

even if the sprite is good it could be rejected if its not fitting the plans

#

also why boss resprites arent suggested and usually discouraged in some of the concept arts in the doc

inner lark
#

Is this a good suggestion?

Change the artemis emblem to a more orange and silver colour pallet/resprite it

Currently there are no references to the greek goddess in question and there are no reasons for that colour scheme. However eith the exo mech update, it introduces the Artemis mech, so bringing the accessory in line with the boss makes sense from a technical standpoint

eternal escarp
#

i meam artemis emblem isnt related to artemis boss

inner lark
#

But it could be

frozen hornet
#

it's not

eternal escarp
#

they sre both relating to artemis god but nothing related between the two

tawny garden
#

Especially if it's about bosses

eternal escarp
#

thats the thing basically

#

anyways the sugg is, valid
it just doesnt make sense

cobalt heath
#

and yes there is ares etc

frozen hornet
#

you see artemis is the god, XS-01 artemis is the mech

#

They're different things

eternal escarp
#

artemis emblem is a random accesory and isnt related to artemis mech at all

#

its called artemis emblem because its a ranger accessory, not because its related to artemis boss

frozen hornet
#

Just because they're the same name doesn't mean they're the same

eternal escarp
#

yeah

inner lark
#

I'm just staying that a resprite of the accessory could hint towards the mech albeit subtly

eternal escarp
#

it would be very weird though

frozen hornet
#

they're not connected in any way

eternal escarp
#

nothing connects the two

#

artemis isnt made with anything draedon related, simply "doing it for the vine" is very random

cobalt heath
#

and i think it might have other lore hence artemis isnt always related greek its just meaning off a great archer

frozen hornet
#

getting a draedon themed accessory pre-ML

eternal escarp
#

theres no lore

#

its just called artemis emblem because artemis is a god of archery
its not lore just a reference

#

it used to be daedalus emblem beforehand anyways so

#

absolutely no lore involved, its just a cool name

#

destroyer emblem isnt related to the destroyer (design wise

small timber
#

Or avenger emblem to marvel movie, it is just a name, no need to make everything relate to lore

eternal escarp
#

i was about to say sargent shield

#

but

#

yeah sure

cobalt heath
#

or to something in the game

hollow shell
#

@ashen warren facepicard

eternal escarp
#

yeah we mentioned that

#

they just sent a random message so at that point just remove it

golden tulip
eternal escarp
#

also rover

#

wait im getting the convo link

eternal escarp
#

isnt the sugg practically asking for something specifically hidden in deathmode?

#

i feel like its a bit counterintuitive, but maybe i just misinterpreted it

small timber
#

That one is worded abit weirdly,but essentially

#

It is referring to DoG later phase where he just gain speed of light for like 1 sec, especislly A God does not fear death phase, basically to give that telepgraph

eternal escarp
#

i mean it looks like

#

its more so refering to his AI switches
which are telegraphed in Rev downwards

#

as if they didnt get telegraphed

small timber
#

Ya initially he worded is differently, make it better, but now back to confusing again

hollow shell
#

Well, not really 'telegraphed', just that there's a full screen effect when it happens

#

But, yeah that is indeed the point of Death Mode making the sky black

eternal escarp
#

i mean, the screen effect lasts the whole time

#

id call it a rather large telegraph

hollow shell
eternal escarp
#

ah, fair

hollow shell
small timber
#

Because the suggestion is referring to give telegraph to the extremely sudden speed boost (which is due to AI change) not necessarily to give telegraph to AI change

ashen warren
#

aand?

eternal escarp
#

well but it is a rather large tell to his current AI

small timber
#

Although with how he word it now I also not sure

cobalt heath
#

dsg you play w fire atm

hollow shell
ashen warren
#

be ready for the next message in 13:50 hage

hollow shell
ashen warren
hollow shell
#

They explicitly say AI multiple tines

eternal escarp
#

yeah

golden tulip
#

what is even going on right now

eternal escarp
#

they gave the "god does not fear death "just as a time where its majorly noticeable

#

(though personally i dont exactly see that i think

hollow shell
eternal escarp
#

its not like you should be right up DoGs mouth anyways so

golden tulip
hollow shell
#

But uhh yeah

small timber
eternal escarp
#

wanted to ping the suggestor beforehand but i wasnt sure if i misinterpreted it, since the AI switches are majorly told to the player

small timber
#

Now it just seems like "undo death mode black sky"

eternal escarp
#

regardless then, i guess it is a good time to ping them

#

@tribal narwhal should read a bit of the above

#

what you suggest for alreasy exists in DoGs background colors, and specifically doesnt exist in his deathmode AI

#

woops, sorry rover HDFailure

small timber
hollow shell
#

(Well not really cuz Death Mode was only mentioned once)

eternal escarp
#

well yeah but the theoretical sugg would undo that idea regardless

#

so, ig?

#

on a very small sidenote, im happy the T2 acid rain sugg got implemented

#

makes early HM less jumbled

#

even if its by a slight bit

small timber
#

And also finally dont get hit by invisible nuke aoe

hollow shell
#

Ye, a good trio of changelogs

frozen hornet
#

I'm assuming they've already been rebalanced

golden tulip
#

no all tier shifts go unbalanced 👍

frozen hornet

True..

oh

#

Bone Wings having an independent effect would be nice

#

honestly tho, it's kinda weird how Bone Wings boost Necro armor instead of cal just, adding a Necro upgrade somewhere else

small timber
#

(well it is +1 armor set instead of just give stats to wing) but ya, Bone Wing being working only for a pre-HM armor do not really make a lot of sense

golden tulip
#

detailed

small timber
#

ya thats why it is (tbh not gonna happen)

#

eventhough it is the approach that make the most sense

eternal escarp
#

just make bone wings upgrade with the set

#

plague ripper mantle

fossil finch
#

Bone wings synergy is funny so don't remove it

eternal escarp
#

its funny but still not worth iirc

small timber
#

just buff it tbh, just give it more stats

#

otherwise there is not reason to use it over shroomite or even daedalus (which both have pretty good set bonus)

eternal escarp
#

isnt bone wings post 1 mech

small timber
#

is it? because bone feather is post-Plantera

eternal escarp
#

wait really

small timber
#

unless they change when it drop

eternal escarp
#

bruhhh

small timber
#

I checked changelog for bone feather so at least changelog didnt specify it is changed

eternal escarp
#

yeah that's kinds cringe then tbh

small timber
#

bone feather is dropped from post-plantera dungeon enemy

@fleet igloo have you seen some of the other expert mode drops? Mutated Truffle is by far one of the more fine ones lol

fleet igloo
#

Hmm not really

#

Still, main problem here is that it's summoner only, which makes Old Duke not so worth it

#

I guess I should remove the "make it as good as other accessories" part to make it sound more like I know what I'm talking about?

crude geode
fleet igloo
#

Are these the good or bad ones

crude geode
#

Bad ones, generally speaking

#

also dynamo stem cells lol

#

Byeah remove the part about “on tier with other expert mode acc.” Because expert mode accessories have wildly variable value

#

I would disagree with the fact that mutated truffle should be modified to be an all class accessory instead of, say, the other accessory Old Duke drops that is far more “all class.”

fleet igloo
muted osprey
#

sugg disc judging the sugg poster's every sin

crude geode
#

Then swap the drop chance of it and mutated truffle

fleet igloo
#

Not sure how likely that is to be accepted though

#

If this doesn't get in I might re-suggest with that one

small timber
#

"making old duke not so worth it" is extremely subjective, most of the time you dont even care about boss expert drops

#

and old duke have some really useful weapon especially against DoG

fleet igloo
#

I mean if expert drop is good it's much more worth it isn't it

#

Also normal duke's 10% drop and expert drop are both good I think?

small timber
#

if Expert drop is good then it is welcome, but it should not use it to complete invalidate all other drops the boss have

#

so rather than focusing on "old duke have no good drop because its expert drop sucks therefore fighting old duke sucks", focus on "its expert drop sucks and could had been better"

fleet igloo
#

Fair

#

How do you recommend I phrase it

small timber
#

I think the current version is actually fine, if you have to add something then I guess just add where "its reward except weapons feel underwhelming" instead of "all of its rewards feel underwhelming"

#

since the later statement is objectively not true

fleet igloo
#

Hmm

small timber
#

since your entire suggestion is actually "yo mutated truffle as an expert drop sucks" therefore you dont have to change much to cater towards anything else

fleet igloo
#

The sentiment is more of "Old Duke's rewards don't feel enough for its place as acid rain boss and stuff, and changing Mutated Truffle could help solve that"

#

So maybe "having more guarantees besides weapons"?

small timber
#

ya, and the counter argument is just "Old Duke's weapon is a useful reward, Old Duke is by no means not rewarding"

#

so the only thing you need to add is except weapons, other stuff simply is not rewarding

#

(although not all bosses have to be progression boss), but since your suggestion is "make mutated truffle more useful" I think just focus on that

fleet igloo
#

What about "underwhelming because the only drop is weapons, which can be gotten from other things way more easily"

small timber
#

or that "its only relevant reward is weapon, which can easily be substituted with weapons on similar tier, such as Polterghast/bloodflare weapons"

#

or even post-polter abyss loot, because old duke is not required for reaper-shark tier weapon for some reason

#

that said why is reaper shark/last tier abyss stuff not locked behind old duke in the first place, but polter for some reason that unlock both acid rain tier 3 and abyss loot

fleet igloo
#

Hmm I wouldn't mind the rewards that much if that were the case lol

#

But I think they explicitly rejected that so

#

I could try digging it up

small timber
#

somewhat recently too, hmm kinda weird, I guess just focus on buffing mutated truffle then

fleet igloo
#

Do I want to add something like "alternatively, make the scales guaranteed to drop"

#

Though from what I've heard it's not that good

small timber
#

then you have to change most of the suggestion

#

or you can just make a 2nd suggestion for that (and also to prevent people with contradicting opinion to be unable to vote yes for the suggestion, since it is kinda the opposite to buffing mutated truffle)

small timber
#

I think the whole reason is just they want to keep old duke completely optional, but ya, could had been cool

golden tulip
#

makes sense

fleet igloo
#

That's actually why I went with giving it a good 100% chance drop instead

#

If the drop is good enough, it's still optional, but there's more of a reason to fight it

#

Do people actually fight bosses for weapons though

#

I fight them just for completion's sake

golden tulip
#

i fight all bosses cus its fun

#

except for queen bee

fleet igloo
#

Nothing wrong with that

golden tulip
#

fuck that

#

finding a hive is a pain in the ass

fleet igloo
#

But for me it's a bit discouraging when I may not even be able to get the weapon I can actually use from it

golden tulip
#

just farm

fleet igloo
#

Finally I beat the bo- wait I can't use any of the drops

golden tulip
#

wait what why cant you use it am i being dumb

fleet igloo
#

Not my class

golden tulip
#

oh

fleet igloo
#

I could force myself to use it, but it probably wouldn't be good

#

cue me repeatedly searching the abyss for Black Anurian to fight Slime God, being unable to go any deeper, and giving up and using Lionfish instead

golden tulip
#

well thats just rng HDfailure

frozen hornet
#

Just fish smh...

fleet igloo
#

Abyss weapons from crates are post-Slime God

frozen hornet
#

oh damn

#

actually why is it not post skelly

fleet igloo
#

Who knows

#

Also, having to do refights just to get the drop I want, especially if the boss doesn't unlock anything other than its drops, is just painful for me

unique vector
#

mungus

golden tulip
unique vector
#

when thats a one-time event

fleet igloo
#

Say, if the boss unlocks ores, I can mine the ores, craft good things from them, then go back for a refight with said good things making the fight much easier

#

I had to keep dying and going back, and now that I finally managed to beat the boss on this one lucky try only to not get the thing I want from it, and now I have to spend Xeroc knows how many more tries just to get the thing I want?

golden tulip
#

you unironically used xeroc in such a cartoony way

fleet igloo
#

It's just a personal thing for me, but it's not going to stop me from trying to reduce it as much as possible HDfailure

#

The refighting that is, not the using of Xeroc

golden tulip
crude geode
#

This sugg is just really weird to me. I think it’s just that like. post ml is pretty linear even though it isn’t

#

Like hardmode you have a lot more “optional” bosses like Duke Fishron, PBG, Siren and Levi, Ravager, Astrum Aureus, etc. so their existence feels more normal

fleet igloo
#

Technically Fishron and Levi are the only true optional ones

#

PBG drops crafting materials, Ravager is going to be retiered to post-Provi, Aureus buffs astral enemies and makes them drop things

eternal escarp
#

byeah

distant gyro
#

honestly

eternal escarp
#

(yes altix i corrected my ways spare me

fleet igloo
#

Even then Fishron drops a mount, and Levi unlocks Keelhaul (and may get the rage upgrade after Ravager gets retiered)

distant gyro
#

if a boss is insanely worthwhile and it's not enjoyable

#

it's probably even worse

crude geode
#

Very true

distant gyro
#

you have to live through the fact that you have to endure a roadblock

insert low%

forgot SPrime

and plantera

and rav yeah

#

or cryo but rav is the better option

cultist is the only requirable boss

WoF, SPrime, Plant, Ravager/Cryo, Cultist, ML, Guardians, Provi, DoG, Yharon, EMechs, SCal, Yharim

#

oops rav

fleet igloo
#

Right

#

Still most of these do something that makes refighting them easier

#

Either unlocking ores, making enemies drop things, or dropping enough crafting materials to be able to make at least one weapon of choosing

#

Old Duke dropping crafting materials

eternal escarp
#

remove life matter or whatever it is iirc

living shard?

that

the entire OD Arsenal

its like 6 weapons bonus

what tier is sulphuric acid cannon again

eternal escarp
#

oh yeah that

fleet igloo
#

I'd actually prefer to fight the boss once then be able to make the weapons I want rather than fighting it 2-3 times to get it

eternal escarp
#

is

#

also T3

#

youre right alt

frozen hornet
#

It's weird cuz it drops from maulers

#

Which don't spawn during the event itself but spawns when it's not raining

eternal escarp
#

Mauler rework when iirc

frozen hornet
#

Next update I hope

eternal escarp
#

Cragmaw Mire got reworked (bless you dom

#

Mauler maybe soon 😳

#

also

#

not every boss needs to be a one done fight

#

if it doesnt drop the weapon you wanted straight away its not a bad thing

#

it doesnt need to feed you every weapon it has (HVM and Perfs do this and its stupid imo)

#

wdym

#

i meant as in

#

"maybe Mauler might get reworked eventually"

fleet igloo
#

Wait Old Duke doesn't even require acid rain T3 anymore does it

eternal escarp
#

oh yeah, Bloodworms do spawn out of it

#

well i guess his arsenal doesnt count as T3

#

likely

frozen hornet
eternal escarp
#

oh wait

#

lmfao

frozen hornet
#

I forgot about this change too tbf

eternal escarp
#

i remembered the SACannon rework

#

because i remember the request for the sprites in the art server

#

didnt remember the mauler rework there

#

good to know

#

well uhhhhhh

#

maybe armored digger might get reworked eventually 😳

#

(did that work)

#

byeah

#

AR-T3 does lack gear, but it doesnt mean it needs a material to just spit out random crafts at you

#

enemies dropping weapons is way better

#

especially when Nuclear Terror has only 2 weapons

frozen hornet
eternal escarp
#

and the fact that enemies do get more drops with time
like how Skyfin Bombers drops in T2 from a T1 enemy

frozen hornet

Dunno about a whole ass rework though

It's just that it unlocks something

Calamity Mod Wiki

The Keelhaul is a Hardmode wand that has a 4% / 6.67% chance to drop from Giant Cursed Skulls in the Dungeon after Leviathan and Anahita have been defeated. When used, a small blue projectile is fired in the cursor's direction that creates a geyser upon impact with a tile or an enemy. The geyser stays in place and rapidly damages any enemy that ...

uh

good old duke drop or something

#

Making Mutated Truffle do more things should work

There already is a bunch of good old Duke drops (according to this discord, and they’re never wrong taxevasion )

fossil finch
#

brotip: rev has absolutely no idea how any of od's weapons perform

fleet igloo
#

That's admittedly true

eternal escarp
#

however the rewards from beating it feel underwhelming as of now die to the only relevant reward being weapons which can easily be substituted with other weapons on its tier
yeah was about to say

fleet igloo

But making the expert drop better won't hurt right

we talked about OD drops like when you first posted the sugg

5 out of 6 of them are great
