But I'm throwing it out just to see if it can happen
OD can totally have better weapon and "expert" drops
but I doubt a new item will change anything
aight but most optional calamity bosses' drops suck
actually not really
Most of them at least have a rage/adren upgrade
I can't remember optional bosses' drops to comment on em
all polter weapons are good, levi drops are good too, ravager etc
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
At least these bosses do other things when beaten
Yeah
aureus or deus drops?
Both
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)
Isn't Duke expert drop pretty good though
I do
i literally dont know a single dog drop
Shrimpy Truffle is good in vanilla, not sure if it keeps up with calamity outside of wacky stuff like submerged arenas
Eradicator is a funny
Mmm sus
and the whip thing
vanilla buffed it with extra speed (?) and boost conditions
for grindng
Ye harder daddy
bro
like even without any rain or liquids, in vanilla fishron mount ZOOMS at half health or lower
and the pony
Mlp
Old Duke mount could work, but exo chair probably far outclasses it
But it lasts long enough I think
and you get pony right after
just buff existing drops
Pony
daniel why do you feel the need to repeat everything
Mutated Truffle could do more for other classes I guess
Because i can
because i can
Ye
ye
Yeah this can do
Ye
ye
Ye
splendid
Splendid
ye lets stop we get reported for spam
Actually should I just reword it to "buff Mutated Truffle", sounds much more doable
Sur
[[Mutated Truffle]]
Summoner accessory
Gives you a small old duke summon and thats it
Nice ip grabber
Yeah maybe make it do things for other classes in addition to the summon?
let us ride the smol duke
Yeah
Im gonna be on top
Alright, so do I reword it to "give Mutated Truffle a better use"
ig
Alright I'll probably delete this one for now
inb4 I wait another week to have the motivation to type it out
How about no?
jesus christ daniel
Yeah i love u too
Does Mutated Truffle have any more flaws I can use to drag it down even more
Sure
I feel like Mutated Truffle can be something like GSA, utilizing summon slots to be better on some way
you got yelled at for it yesterday
granted then it'd be a summoner accessory but lo
I'd probably prefer it to be usable by any class
Same
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
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
Ur right
this dude
Mutated Truffle should have some kind of extra goodies to make it more appealing to summoner at least
see how Luxor Gift is intended to be usable for all classes yet it does absolute jackshit on summoner 
wdym you dont like your flying music note :clueless
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%"
Nice green nickname u got there
thanks
Why would I spend a slot on that at post-ML where accessories start getting either nutty effects or a ton of them
hopefully shrines rework would address the items as well, hopefully
Like green Nutella, thats lit
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
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

what expert accessories 
You should leave what effects it should have blank as that gives devs all the freedom they want to make it cool
Yeah
I'm probably going to give vague suggestions or something so that devs can know what the idea is?
Doesn't matter what the cooler Mutated Truffle looks like, just that it exists
I'm worried that it'll turn out to be not that worth it even after the rework
Dont worry about it mate
The suggestions would just be something like "a possible way to do it would be to [whatever it is]"
i have no idea if that comes close to a sis
Same
daniel listen my dude you are seriously annoying me
U wanna be friends?
U sure?
Is there anything else I can add to this then
That wouldn't be SIS if its something like "give it a damage boost or something"
thatd just be buffing and youd need specific testing for that
what does SIS mean
specific item suggestion
SIS is more so "Make it deal 2500 damage, use time of 10, shoots at this angle, etc."
explanation is in the suggestion doc
i guess so
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
i think itd help
Making it an upgraded Luxor's Gift sounds good
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
and sus bean
supposedly people don't use jelly bean anymore because it thicc
@golden tulip so we friends, right?
jelly is slower iirc but works in water
thats the pro/con basically
aka slimy is usually more used
isn't jelly faster or did they change that
mightve changed in 1.5?
Yeah, an update for our friendship

but i remember slimy being faster
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
hmmm
Hmm
or just change the way the truffle attacks
honestly quite incredible really
Agreed
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
U tell them
no
cool the vanilla wiki says everything about the slimy mount except fall speed
its your sugg
Its my ligma
I'd prefer to not make it class specific though
but jelly bean has a 102 max fall speed which im fairly certain is slightly lower then slimy mount
can this guy get banned
I still would prefer it to be a mount such that people stop using slime mount and draedon's rgb gaming setup
Unless the summon deals different class damage depending on the help weapon?
please
I didnt do anything
being an annoyance counts as doing something :D
No
pixl is offline 🥺
..as well as putting it on the same usefulness level as the other "Expert drops" at its stage..
i agree with your sugg but
i wouldnt call many of the expert drops post ml to be
very good
But at least Nutella is my new friend
affliction is good
yea
well then yeah that too
Yeah
smh blat
but like, Blazing Core and ML's drop and Dynamo Cells are
blazing core is decent too
ech
byeah only those 2 are good
they exist but
they arent worth
Yeah
dynamo cells can be decent
stem cells are "ok" with fast firing things
Dynamo Cells has more use for the 15% MS
Agreed
the funny little dragonfollys arent too good afaik
byeah i agree with the general idea of Mutated Truffle needing more then just being a summon weapon in accessory form
OD just not really worth rn in general
it doesnt even do that good
nut thats half wrong imo
he is very worth
many OD drops are really good
like which
worth as in fun
yeah od is a very fun boss
Insidious Impaler, Toxicant Twister, Fetid Emesis, Skeptic Skewer
OD is fun but I'm bad
Yeah fun
lol?
vitrolic viper
yeah i forgot the name of that
i think thats its name
skill issue iirc >:3
was about to say
like i said guess im just a meta slave 
Yeah I do have an idea to make it a mount with offensive capabilities to make it an alternative to exo chair
:(
you are indeed 
byeah
Real

@marble hazel annoying man
also hi lgl
hiyaa~
OD's got many good drops, including The Reaper (malice drops arent staying for long mechanically
Hi lgl
why is his status monsoon but sus
its making me uncomfortable
trolled

the only meh thing it has is Cadaverous whatever
the reapet is meh

i forgot the sentry's name
so does everyone dw
Turret
cadeverous carrion?
Yeah
real
yeah taht one
yea its ok
also hi tiki, theres some complaints on someone here
it also has a very finnicky targetting mechanic
dunno really didnt bother
Same
How im being annoying
you are pretty much promoting nothing to the convo and disrupting yeah
No?
aight lets all calm down now
Yeah
byeah back to the topic for me
OD's drops are rather good, Mutated Truffle is a bit of a let down
i think what they mean si that yo ucant just send one off messages coz it contributes nothing
forcing people to be your friend
so i do agree with the sugg and it looks good to post
oh you already posted it
cool
so if you're gonna saysomethin atleast let it have some value instead of "yeah" "emote" "lol"
obsessive possessive
thats all bye
Bye
bye monsus
👍 tiki for mayor
tiki for owner tbh
this server is in dire need of clueless
although

:clueless:
i might be confusing with Calval
nitro issue iirc
but isnt there already an OD pigron mount thing?
imagine paying for discord
Blasterd don't you have nitro
don't think so...?
nah
I imagined
there isnt
okay yeah its calval
stop pinging me
imagine confusing calval items with base mod items :cluel
@rapid hamlet
oh yeah OD has another weird accesory
Old Duke's Scales
reply ping 
I replied to u
but other then that yeah OD has good drops
that thing exists
pbg jetpack is so busted
Sup bro
its a stat stick now i think
true
sad
peak minmax
take damage to deal more damage
basically its "have no life regen and you get slightly better destroyer emblem"
Yeah that's so wrong
it's not "wrong", it's not worth it
It doesn't matter anymore
???
U wanna be friends?
holy fucking shit
no
Why not
yeah just block at this point
this guy is annoying
i cant tell if its a troll or a 9 year old
#suggestions-posting message isnt the whole point that in deathmode, you dont get to know with a headstart when DoG switched AI
Its both
like, the sky is dark for a reason
called it
in Rev+ theres the sky changing color when he changes AI
Yeah
thats what that means?
but im fairly certain the whole point for Deathmode is to not tell you when he switches AI
yea thats the point
yeah thats what it means
ye
ngl i have never paid attention to the sky
i think pink is aggresive, blue is passive
you could also count so uh
I mean it's not cool when DoG suddenly dashes to you at record speeds and you take a shitton of damage
seeing as they want to make the thing that is purposefully hiddeon from the player unhidden
and just putting minimap behind you for the fight
boss suggs dont pass anyway 
when 2 seconds ago he was just letting you hit him
Hi aleks
boss suggestions can pass
OD looking to where he dashes instead of the player was a sugg
the thing is that suggs can pass but devs can reject them
when we say pass we theoretically mean approved in this sense
I wonder too
would be really cool
balks?
i think my sugg is decebt
I think so too
@small timber small nitpick but you spelled Artifact as Artifcat 
mobile
?
i meant to way balls
it shoots at you and the spit balls are annoying
lol
lo
Lol
death
time to get charger
Bye, take care

cya cocaine
and missed an "L" in Spectral Veil
I meant coke woops haha
i am 
crying
(someone else pls make the dad joke for me I have sworn abstenance)
hi i am, im dad
hi 
But they r
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
"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"
i really wanna know what biome scal would love
i feel like she would go nicely to sky islands
sky islands is purity
oh
i think the only idealized pylon is sunken sea?
hm
who knows ig
we shall see
sulph sea pylon 🥺
i mean amidias goes ocean
cirrus goes hallow
permafrost goes tundra
bandit and scal go purity ig
no one
yharim :troll
Silva
bandit i think want to be in caves
Yharim when he is constantly reminded of war crimes!
who'd love the sunken sea then 
yharim goes to the jungle
implying yharim becomes a town npc
we know we wont kill him
angler is already ocean
we dont kill draedon either but he doesnt turn into a town npc
i dont see why'd they relocate vanilla npcs tbh
cause draedon isnt actually there, its a hologram
angler is great at the ocean we literally find him there
that doesnt dismiss my statement
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
also do we know that we wont kill yharim??
its has been implied we wont
since when 
yea like howd u get that info laoo
but no concretic info
ive never heard any implications to anything that isnt the idea of yharim's fight
okay yeah we have nothing to say we wont kill him
Isnt amidiss sunken sea? Didnt refer above I assume talking about npc happiness
amidias doesnt live in the sunken sea
he used to live in the ocean that became the desert
he is trapped there
after blah blah scal destroyed the ocean lore lo
archmage gets to go back to cryo's body :clueless
he just fled to the sunken sea yeah
calamity non-sulphur sea side ocean rework soon™️ in year 2030
LnA exist
enough iirc 
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
anyways sugg dc
He is there, you literally turn him into scrap metal
They can expand downwards and put an underwater city there, but ya this is out of topic
it's after you shoot him down that he reappears as a hologram
i mean the underwater city wasnt in the same ocean
sugg dc go to lore or general
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

i know but i also think about devs
Amidias being the only major lore giver is pretty uh, yeah
though id argue the Bestiary will help with providing lore aswell
its annoying to custom code something when something in the future can implement it much easier
i imagine a big chunk of lore will be accessible with the bestiary in 1.4
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
its not that hard afaik
oh you said exactly the same thing
way less complex then other things
aight imma sug it after i do my swedish work

also lore in cal is being majorly rewritten so
its not weird that it isnt told that well currently
Nono I dont mean the game currently does that, I mean the approach to tell lore in general
fair
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
yeah newer additions would usually follow new lore
(if said addition is lore related, not everything is
its not exactly public i think since some parts of it are still
is draedon lore new
being rewritten
draedon is canon currently
while things like DoG's design are not
mrrp
mrrp is cringe
so true
most important lore is astrum aureus a cyborg spider or crab
yharman bro
not yet
what calamitas lore is there
they still exist in lore
failed clone #2008381
mostly Calamitas' design aswell
since SCal isnt an eye
and neither should her clone be

clone needs new art
there is concept art for a new design
how do you fuck up the cloning of a human so bad it becomes a metal eye
drugs
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
brimmy will be next i think
i think aureus was gonna get a resprite too sometime later?
theyve said this for a year lmao
and i think the both scourges again
plus they dont work 24/7
"Is [Boss] getting resprited???" A comprehensive explanation of the status of every single boss resprite DISCLAIMER To any spriter looking at this doc in the goal to find a boss to resprite, be warned: Our quality standards for boss resprites are VERY high. We not only look for resprites that ...
yeah i get that spriting is hard but then dont say its nearly done 
ceaseless is being worked on too

doo
🗜️
i cannot play the game anymore too
huh
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
Hi Sam
hi doodoo
How r u my man
dead
💀

😰
if the status of the resprite is "nearly done" for over a year and it does get worked on, it is clearly not nearly done

Clearly it isn't being worked on
i suppose so
Nitro left and no one wants to do it yet
That's why it's been like that for a year
in other words, its not coming 
also just said this because
teal name
even though dragonfolly is also teal but in its description it says "it's not being worked on" 😐
dragfolly doesnt rly need one
complain to iban i think
it looks so good atm
i like folly
(doesnt really imo)
its a good sprite but id personally like an even more serious look at the design
as little "bumblebird" we can get the better
its currently fine but i could dig up a better redesign
you can?
Dig it up then and show us 
the funny thing is that we could just make em ourselves
wrong intention when i said dig up
that is a bold statement 
and sugg it
hm
but its in no hurry
Yea but will it be better than the devs' design 
iban is top tier 
boss redesigns will never be accepted anyways
byea i think either brimmy or maybe cryo will be next
metarex is proof that yes rarely we can make it better (he made polter before he was a dev)
boss (re)sprites and AI are probably the off limits for suggs
boss resprites have always been usually turned down if it's for no significant reason anyways
even before iban
(I think)
gotta love iban do
If you had a concept it'd be better to submit in the art server (and get denied)
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
I'm pretty sure the last boss resprite that was accepted was slime god
it was made by someone in the team wasnt it
unless you make something actually really good it wont even get considered
It was made by xelo
That was like 4 years ago things are very different now
no it doesnt matter if its really good
bonkers sprites were made and rejected
they conflicted with dev plans and therefore rejected
so pretty much the art team has ideas and they need to make it so they enjoy and are able to make it
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
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
i meam artemis emblem isnt related to artemis boss
But it could be
it's not
they sre both relating to artemis god but nothing related between the two
In fairness, anything can be rejected if it's not fitting the plans
Especially if it's about bosses
yeah but the standards for bosses are significantly higher
thats the thing basically
anyways the sugg is, valid
it just doesnt make sense
well yes but that would mean relations to greek mythology and i dont think thats funny to now add to the mod
and yes there is ares etc
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
Just because they're the same name doesn't mean they're the same
yeah
I'm just staying that a resprite of the accessory could hint towards the mech albeit subtly
it would be very weird though
they're not connected in any way
nothing connects the two
artemis isnt made with anything draedon related, simply "doing it for the vine" is very random
and i think it might have other lore hence artemis isnt always related greek its just meaning off a great archer
getting a draedon themed accessory pre-ML
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
Or avenger emblem to marvel movie, it is just a name, no need to make everything relate to lore
or to something in the game
@ashen warren 
yeah we mentioned that
they just sent a random message so at that point just remove it

here
isnt the sugg practically asking for something specifically hidden in deathmode?
i feel like its a bit counterintuitive, but maybe i just misinterpreted it
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
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
Ya initially he worded is differently, make it better, but now back to confusing again
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
i mean, the screen effect lasts the whole time
id call it a rather large telegraph
yees??
Telegraph implies it happens before something
ah, fair
You said "no" in #suggestions-posting
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
aand?
well but it is a rather large tell to his current AI
Although with how he word it now I also not sure
dsg you play w fire atm
That's not a discussion channel. I deleted your message now
be ready for the next message in 13:50 
That is definitely not how its worded
no?
They explicitly say AI multiple tines
yeah
what is even going on right now
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
A normal convo, but DSG is also here just doing whatever
its not like you should be right up DoGs mouth anyways so

But uhh yeah
Ya I also not sure what he is referring now, initially it is for that
wanted to ping the suggestor beforehand but i wasnt sure if i misinterpreted it, since the AI switches are majorly told to the player
Now it just seems like "undo death mode black sky"
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 
I thought you are referring to this ^ but what you basically worded it is "undo DoG death mode black sky"
(Well not really cuz Death Mode was only mentioned once)
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
And also finally dont get hit by invisible nuke aoe
Ye, a good trio of changelogs
I'm assuming they've already been rebalanced
no all tier shifts go unbalanced 👍
True..
Chlorophyte is real
isnt it 4 in 1.4 as well?
5
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
(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
detailed
ya thats why it is (tbh not gonna happen)
eventhough it is the approach that make the most sense
Bone wings synergy is funny so don't remove it
its funny but still not worth iirc
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)
isnt bone wings post 1 mech
is it? because bone feather is post-Plantera
wait really
unless they change when it drop
bruhhh
I checked changelog for bone feather so at least changelog didnt specify it is changed
yeah that's kinds cringe then tbh
bone feather is dropped from post-plantera dungeon enemy
plague reaper
yea its weird for post plant wings to boost a pre-hm set
I forgot plague reaper exists
@fleet igloo have you seen some of the other expert mode drops? Mutated Truffle is by far one of the more fine ones lol
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?
Astral Bulwark, Leviathan Ambergris, Toxic Heart, Calamity
Are these the good or bad ones
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.”
#suggestions-discussion does a little trolling
That one has a 10% drop chance so you'd have to farm the boss for it, and one of the reasonings for the sugg is "me no like grinding boss, want good thing on first try"
sugg disc judging the sugg poster's every sin
Then swap the drop chance of it and mutated truffle
Not sure how likely that is to be accepted though
If this doesn't get in I might re-suggest with that one
"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
class weapon not guaranteed, me no like
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?
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"
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
Hmm
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
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"?
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
What about "underwhelming because the only drop is weapons, which can be gotten from other things way more easily"
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
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
somewhat recently too, hmm kinda weird, I guess just focus on buffing mutated truffle then
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
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)
wtf this is awesome
I think the whole reason is just they want to keep old duke completely optional, but ya, could had been cool
makes sense
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
Nothing wrong with that
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
just farm
Finally I beat the bo- wait I can't use any of the drops
wait what why cant you use it am i being dumb
Not my class
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
well thats just rng 
Just fish smh...
Abyss weapons from crates are post-Slime God
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
mungus
does wherher a boss unlocks something new or not rlly affect its enjoyability to refight
when thats a one-time event
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?
you unironically used xeroc in such a cartoony way
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 
The refighting that is, not the using of Xeroc

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
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
Calamity is actually rather good considering the debuff it inflicts
byeah
honestly
(yes altix i corrected my ways spare me
Even then Fishron drops a mount, and Levi unlocks Keelhaul (and may get the rage upgrade after Ravager gets retiered)
Very true
you have to live through the fact that you have to endure a roadblock
Ah yes, my WoF experience
L
wall of flesh embodied

Technically all bosses except WoF, Astrum Deus/Cultist, ML, DoG, Yharon, Exo Mechs, Scal and Yharim (eventually) are optional
insert low%
forgot SPrime
and plantera
and rav yeah
or cryo but rav is the better option
cultist is the only requirable boss
deus drops no manip for you to do anything with
although there are plans to make manip craftable with astral bars
- astral bars become forged
WoF, SPrime, Plant, Ravager/Cryo, Cultist, ML, Guardians, Provi, DoG, Yharon, EMechs, SCal, Yharim
oops rav
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
remove life matter or whatever it is iirc
living shard?
Wait we don't have acid rain tier 3 materials
we dont need them
yes
more bloat more bloat!!
make items actually drop from enemies
just make nuclear terrors drop stuff
stop materials grrrrr
I mean it has an entire set
I think that's enough
perenial is used for many important things because of Life Alloy too byeah
too many plant ores!
TRUE
What's the tier 3 acid rain loot again
i mean go ahead
suggest it
Titan Heart armor sitting right there will block it
Perennial, more like chlorophyte 2
Gamma Heart
Phosphorescent Gauntlet
Lead Core
the entire OD Arsenal
Doesn't look like much
what tier is sulphuric acid cannon again
oh yeah that
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
It's weird cuz it drops from maulers
Which don't spawn during the event itself but spawns when it's not raining
Mauler rework when iirc
Next update I hope
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"
Wait Old Duke doesn't even require acid rain T3 anymore does it
oh yeah, Bloodworms do spawn out of it
well i guess his arsenal doesnt count as T3
likely
Blast
I forgot about this change too tbf
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
I'm pretty sure it got some changes
and the fact that enemies do get more drops with time
like how Skyfin Bombers drops in T2 from a T1 enemy
Dunno about a whole ass rework though
i really don't get you, keelhaul isn't even all class
You're saying stuff that applies to all bosses like it solely applies to od
well od unlocks its drops 👍
that's literally a very artificial feeling
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 ...
i think the strikethrough intends that he is joking
or he got confused with Greentide
either one
we need more biome bow line thats for sure

Anyways still confused on what revenant engine’s sugg wants to be moving forward
uh
good old duke drop or something
Making Mutated Truffle do more things should work
What
There already is a bunch of good old Duke drops (according to this discord, and they’re never wrong
)
brotip: rev has absolutely no idea how any of od's weapons perform
That's admittedly true
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
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
is the new melee fist good
cant just call them "underwhelming" when they arent
