its a dev item, i dont think its getting renamed anytime soon unless we asked the person who named the item if we could change it to extinction alloy
shadowspec crafting into demonshade armor doesnt help much either
also i mean we
"shadowspec is a bad name" doesn't explain, leaves
You did do a good job of creating an entire large paragraph out of “shadowspec sounds kinda wacky ngl”
and even then, that's unlikely
the other idea i had was "Umbralite" cause its still a play on Shadows, even though it doesnt sound much better and makes no sense as a SC drop
I mean the dev for said item is long gone and I don't think most people on the dev team rn even know about them
(It's kinda weird to have a bar as your dev item anyway and Demonshade will just become a SC set anywya)
Shadowspec isn’t Really related to SCal specifically I think
It’s kinda just the dev material™️ with a name that sounded kinda cool at the time
Classic Old Calamity
Yea
It’s also why nothing crafted with shadowspec bars has any sort of thematic consistency
Endgame moment
You have metal gear rising reference #8 and hat in time reference and cryo sentry but cooler and I like. To read book
How bout this
Change the name for Shadowspec Bars
"Shadowspec" doesn't sound befiting an material created from an already endgame bar and the material drops from the current two final bosses, SCAL and the Exo Mechs. Shadowspec Bars should be renamed to something more befiting the endgame, perhaps something like Extinction Alloy, which is both thematically relevant to SCAL (The Void of Extinction, being created from regular Calamitas drops) and the Exo Mechs (Alloys are metals.)
i like it
you can literally just copy it
i'm fine if you take credit, i tried to use your logic anyways
better?
i suppose so
looks good to me, and it's short, which typically benefits suggs to get more votes
I like shadowspec more ngl
lol
so long ago that the wiki editors thought his actual name was Shadowspec, not Shadow
Just feel obligated to point out that that new sugg in voting misses the entire point of the Bone Key
Yes, killing the DG is meant to be near-impossible
And the Bone Key was added specifically for those crazy few who could do the impossible
The vanilla devs only added it after someone killed a DG for the first time
They knew exactly what they were doing
shadowspec sounds good wtf
Extinction Alloy sounds way cooler and more fitting, I would agree there
Shadowspec more like shadow pecs
The core recipe skip while also still containing all the original materials I would love
LOL
I only support shadowspec shadoomfies
shadoomfies
Shadowspec sounds cool but also what the fuck is the spec part of the name
the bars are really small
The part that makes it feel like a material name
easy
Like when you slap inum in a mineral name
Or ioum or shit like that
Cringium
Ite classic too
Magnetite
If the plan is to add any progression beyond SCAL and Exo Mechs, wouldn't you want to push Dev item crafting down the line anyway? so the whole point of Shadowspec as it currently is becomes moot.
Essentially: when yharim is released shadowspecs will be after him, when superbosses release it will be locked after them
so its less of a rename, and just outright naming the post-SCAL crafting material.
thats what she drops
What is being argued here
wait no fk i forgot the name
yea cause it's her crafting material
well then its not outright naming anything
but you use it with the Exo Prisms to craft Shadowspec currently
ashes of annihilation
so i dont get at all what this means
😭
so whenever there is a boss after SCAL, that boss will drop Shadowspec or an item that crafts into Shadowspec, so the item crafted with Ashes of Annihilation, Auric Bars, and Exo Prisms will need a name.
||/s|| If shadowspec is the post everything material why don’t you craft it with rock 
??????????
the items crafted from shadowspec are part of the shadowspec/dev item tier
so everything will be moved
so there wont be a need for a new item to take the place of shadowspec
Whenever SCAL and Exo Mechs are no longer the final bosses, Shadowspec will still be Shadowspec, but at a later point of progression because it is the final endgame dev item crafting materials. So is the plan to completely remove the current crafting recipe that uses Auric, Ashes, and Exo Prisms and have them each have their own separate recipes? or will they still craft into a currently nameless bar that is not Shadowspec, because Shadowspec would be crafted with whatever the new endgame boss drops?
i mean besides shadowspec theres nothing else thats crafted with auric, ashes and exo prisms
?
im talking about in the future, moving forward.
yes
and
there is no item, besides shadowspec bars
that are crafted with a combination of scals and draedons drops
so, when we move shadowspec to a future boss
we will not have the need, to put a new material
because everything crafted by shadowspec, will be tier shifted alongside the bar itself
yes.
ok well then we agree on it
so what will be crafted by SCAL and Dreadon drops after that Shadowspec tier shift tho?
nothing????
currently nothing is crafted by scal AND draedon besides shadowspec (which will go away)
SCAL and Draedon wont drop anything?
when shadowspec is tier shifted, you will have scal's drops and enchantments from defeating scal, and the exo mech drops/exo weapon crafts from defeating draedon
which aren't shadowspec
but theres no need to add new items that can only be obtained after both are defeated
the only thing that'd likely be crafted from both of their drops would be idk, an item to summon the next boss
that's what i was asking. those drops are just gonna be their own thing. Ashes will craft into SCAL stuff, Exo Prisms will craft into Draedon stuff, both use Auric or it becomes obsolete. the current crafting recipe for shadowspec just 100% goes away?
Ye
awwwww
Well yes it 100% goes away because it ends up tier shifted lol
and auric isn't obsolete, it's used for pre scal/draedon items lol
well, once you're post SCAL/draedon it would be obsolete. i guess the confusion was i was assuming shadowspec would get replaced with something that functions kinda like luminite. like how you can use just lunar fragments to craft some items, but you need to defeat all four pillars and the moon lord to craft the armor sets. you could craft some stuff with Ashes, and some stuff with Exo Prisms, but you would use both with Auric bars to make the next teir of items from Auric Tesla stuff.
and we know what they say about assuming...
auric bars are still used for miracle matter/draedon's forge
so they don't become completely obsolete after Draedon
blah blah none of this convo matters more content will exist in auric tier eventually as content that is not a boss™️ gets added k thanks bye
Also materials getting obsolete with time is normal
You don't really go around using platinum late game (quirky calamity recipes don't count
(I'm looking at you silva armor
bet, now we can craft Drill Containment Unit 2.0. Its just a Crystyl Crusher that you ride like a witches broom.
that one thorium material moment
tell that to ppl suggesting to add recipes with (prehm ore like wulfrum) late game
🤓
new material: angry wulfrum
auric and shadowspec toilet mimics
true
i cant wait for a future ore mob to be a cosmog and you reverse bong it to extract the materials
i gotchu there
but yea ore slimes boring
well
if the calamity ores worked like chlorophyte
probably wouldn't even need ore slimes
afaik ore is finite and you just go to a new world or something to blow up chicken nugget to get more auric or something?
if you need it for your toilets
i hope we get more unique materials instead of boring bars
toilets are the real endgame
i think seeing them so much just washed any meaning for them for me lol
idk theyre mostly just rectangles and meh
not all are bad
i like scoria
and life alloy is sweet
i mean
just curious
i really liked the ideas of ashes of Annihilation, exo prisms, plagued plating, solar veils, and meld
because they were not metallic bars
oh
it's ok
yharim is going to be one giant metallic bar
vent your dislike of bars on him
im getting off channel topic again 
So true!
BRUH
@violet surge no references for the sake of references, read the document in pins about how to make proper suggestions
Do people even read the suggestion guidelines?
i didnt know there were any
joost has the nails
i think hollow knight is the perfect game to crossover and the hollow knight would fit really well
But why in the Calamity mod?
you'd need more reasoning than "it would be cool" tho
calamity is hard
Also, even if it weren't just a reference for the sake of a reference, its also a suggestion to add something very specific, which is a no go
my dreams are crushed 😦
Ah yes, Calamity should port the entirety of Dark Souls, that would be fitting
also boss suggestion
Hollow knight is the only other hard game in existence (it is not even hard)
Also its an NPC suggestion
its hard to get godseekers ending
calamit wouldn't fit with dark souls, calamity is actually good
Most reasonable Calamity Fan suggestion
If you want the nails, download Joost Mod
i only want pure nail
It has that
Hollow Knight is awesome, but theres no reason it in particular should be referenced in Calamity
😦
i mean theres already 1 reference iirc
i thought that was my more reasonable suggestion idea
but yes
Least entitled Calamity fan
🤨
Specific items were only for patrons, and were retired a while ago IIRC
my other idea was adding the cuphead airplane as a mount and add the devil or king dice as a boss
no
Hollow knight is mid anyways ngl even if this suggestion didn’t break multiple guidelines I think the calamity devs would probably be better off referencing the properties they enjoy
please just stop lol
Calamity Suggestion "Don't"s [Also be sure to check the Suggestion Rules, pinned in #suggestions-voting.] [And remember: Always add a reason to your suggestion!] Table of Contents:1.) List of things you shouldn’t suggest - Mod Suggestions - (!) Server Suggestions (!)2.) Bad Suggestion Practi...
please just read the Dont document
Wrong + L + Ratio
that
chill i was just saying my less reasonable idea
It's a harmless suggestion overall, no need overreact over this
Suggestions isn't for adding specific items, its for mainly for balancing
I think it would be cool if there were a reference to the medias I like
i am going to college next fall and im majoring in software engineering so maybe i can learn to make my own mods
maybe i should as redigit to get that as a crossover in the main game
That’s great you do you
@inland saddle
Funnily enough, there was a specific Hollow Knight reference, but it got removed
(i mean guidelight of oblivion still exists doesnt it)
so does that one darksun summon
Never heard of those, I was thinking of "Pure Mode" or whatever it was called
Pure nail is the strongest nail in hollow knight
I know Hollow Knight, look at my PFP
was mantis scythe mentioned yet
My PFP is a duck holding a nail
Mantis Scythe?
Mantis Scythe?
astral scythe i think
oop yea forgor the name 💀
astral scythe and the astral mantis thingies have those slashies
neat
Ping as needed because I am not reading everything lol
That would be awesome
looekad
Whenever they get around to it
But tbh
I might just go ahead and program it myself
Minus the visuals
To hopefully maybe possibly speed up the process
I wish they would hurry
I mean they’ve got a lot on their plate atm
just cos one thing would take a tiny amount of time to add doesnt mean it will be added in that amount of time
there's other things that the devs will prolly work on first, like. you know. porting
are you actually considering that
Don’t
I’ll just program it myself tbh
well, regardless
it costs absolutely nothing to just wait my guy 
And I know Iban and all the other sprinters are probably pretty busy but at least it’ll be ready for whenever they do get to it
Ok
That would be the coolest weapon in the game once added
Very good idea
Way better than plain boring nail idea I have
thats not going to happen
@hollow shell future content
@novel trellis Calamity isn't in 1.4 yet
You can save this suggestion for when we officially port
You shouldn't have to wait long, hopefully
lets hope not!
@ashen warren there is like, a REALLY big reason why heart statutes is not craftable, because it is literally one of the most overpowered item in the game
also wrong formatting lol!
compare to like, cosmetic, of most other statutes, or at the very least dont matter outside of mob farming
compared to the nurse i can't see how heart statues are broken.
and honestly 90+% of the players already use mods to buy them from npcs so why not add a way to craft them? something like 100 stones and 10 heart crystals
20 health every 2 seconds is kind of sort of alot
3 context here:
- If the player choose to abuse nurse it is their freedom (basically), and Nurse can be killed by bosses midfight (while heart statue is invincible)
- On Death (or Malice Mode), Nurse do not work in boss fight, but heart statue still does
- when "External mods" is involved, player can do whatever they want, even Cheat Sheet is an external mods, Calamity basically balance around itself
and it ignores debuffs
Here is our Nurse nerf btw
Along with what XP said, in Death+ she is outright disabled during boss fights
Place like 20 statues and boom 400hp, unless it doesn't work as I 'member
Pretty sure that all statues have a limit
Including heart ones
3 at once in a small area, 2 seconds between them
I mean, it's just a price nerf, her effectiveness is still the exact same. and in calamity you can get like 1 plat per minute with the unlimited boss summons.
and i didn't know about the death+ change, that's nice
there is a limit, 3 hearts every few secs
^
yeah i agree with all your points
deleted my sugg
i hate the reddit
what does this recent sugg even solve?
easier difficulties also deal less damage
why does the defense and dr also need to scale
(tbh the clarification where boss damage will also be reduced should be like, tag in the changelog just below the DR nerf), but ya, the suggestion do not make sense
im not even going to bother really pinging them, because theres 0% this would pass even when reaching dev 
What do you mean?
(but ya, basically you cannot create suggstion that is specific to the point that the developers have no wiggling room, the pinned document call "Suggestions Don't" will provide a general idea of what type of suggestion is not allowed)
especially that a major class-wide mechanic change will be super impactful and massively affect class balance (+ you need to provide more reasoning other than "it will be interesting")
@dry scaffold that's pretty much just giving mage some summoner weapons
@dry scaffold mana isn't supposed to be useful to summoners
ultimately this is pointless
since you're just creating items to service a niche that doesn't exist
also wrong format
idk why the bot didn't detect the format issue
should we ping a mod?
sadge there is no usual sugg mods online
@elder mist #suggestions-posting message the sug has a format issue, there is no tittle and its not highlited
guh..
lemme see
i have a feeling asking for a new class / subclass is in the same range as asking for a specific weapon / item no?
it has a format issue anyways so you could count it as a sis
jah
do i just delete the message or do i add a reaction
ill leave it at a reaction
then a mod more suited for da situation can judge
I can delete it,if you want...
@lyric depot mode conditional nerfs are a bad idea because calamity balances around rev anyways so it just upsets the balance of lower modes further
A lot of this type of changes used to exist but they were removed for this exact reason
fyi that was not a format issue, the sugg did have a title and it doesnt need to be bolded
but yes what ein said still justifies an exclaim
if it had a format issue, itd be automatically marked with 🗜️
Reddit discovered the changelog, and they hated it so much they immediately went to put all their suggestions in
@lyric depot
basically uhh tl;dr pls dont suggest things about stuff that isnt in a public release yet
also your suggestion lays out different alternatives but it doesnt really explain why you want the DR changes to be different
it sounds more like a rant/rambling than actually outlining a problem and solutions
gonna add an exclamation to it
feel free to suggest a revised version of this after the update is out and you’ve experimented with the DR changes yourself
pinkle can we still ask you to exlaim things or do you just do it at random
oh god not another reddit sug
Sorry for the late explanation, I’m speaking for the behalf of people who don’t like the dr nerf or tank people in general. Im sure that there’s something I’m unaware of but It’s purely just a random suggestion
That moment when 4 consecutive tagged suggestions
there was a reddit outrage after the new patch notes
thats why we called it a reddit sug
Yeah
Well those people are wrong, DR is fucking broken and the nerf is totally deserved
and the reddits don't understand that devs balance around rev, aka it is supposed to be difficult-ish
Maybe not, like the some bosses do a fuckton of damage and only manage around 3-5 hits
Does anyone know any update on calamity being compatible with V1.4
and fabsol doesn't want face tanking to be that good as what it is now
nope
L
it will come when it will come
we had a long as convo about the face tanking about 2 weeks ago in 1.4 discussion
you can atm tank 70% w the correct items of fucking scal
One context that is completely missed is the lead.dev of Calamity said they will also nerf damage of some bosses alongside the DR nerf
And yes, DR and defense in general is pretty.broken right now
wait where did ossa say that
I guess you could introduce like a block mechanic? I know there’s a parry system but can there still be more blocking mechanics in the game?
Oh
someone did ask about it from i think iban and he said that the animations alone would be so much work
shield blocking is a thing
Ok i misremembered, it is one of the main beta tester
It's not "fucking broken", it's just a little too strong
to the point that you can almost reach the cap with a balanced loadout
It's no spam click murasama or pre 1.5 skyfin
idk why i would say tja
iban sus
i can explain anythingthat isnt a future spoiler or outside my knowledge lol
oh
aka the sus sug thing
normally i dont follow suggs to much to properly know whats bad or not but sure
thank you
People say it’s gonna affect the core of the blood god, but how much would it really affect
cause atm rover is hard spammed on this
if i remember correctly the guy was pissing you off and you said that the animations would be painfull to do
and the systems on code around it
Ya core of the blood god is the only one that I seriously think gonna be unusable if they dont buff it, but the beta tester seems to disagree
i wouldnt know how it affects cotbg
They have the half damage reduction right? It’s not totally useless
you’d have to ask a tester yea
If they dont change anything according to chaneglog, its effect is like, 10% max hp, (10/15%?) Healing potion effect, half (there is a cap) enemy contact damage on a CD, and thats it?
Pretty sure
only thing would b em ore so that itd ruin the uniqueness of having it only on specific weapons
cough point b lank shots cough cough
If the contact damage is always useful then it is different, but the thing is it is post-DoG, it is usable against yharon but scal/draedon is no contact bosses, or at least theor main threat is not contact
Instead of having a good accessory with niche effect, it is just a niche accessory now
btw amaizing work on the aerialite redesing, keep it up
The conclusion is thay mmmm armchair game designing i think!
reddit cal peeps have gaslit themselves into thinking tanking sucks after defense damage was added except someone tanked scal
I mean... Berzerk thanatos also has like, literal ocean of laser, contact is not exactly the main concern
shotout to funny cosmilite shield for being able to give you like 60 defense alone too thanks to the buffs to defensive equipment
they saw the nerfs and thought oh that so bad without actually hearing the testers on actual impact
Make melee squishy like all the other classes. Very nice
Peeps at reddit dislike something in changelogs all the time so I'm not surprised lol
Not true
To begin with, defensive accs on calamity have never been class specific
DR isn't the only thing making melee tanky
To continue with, no this isn't "making melee squishy"
Jesus christ I've said this to 6 different people
The current tank situation is even summoner is tanky, as in, with the correct build you can facetank 60% of scal as summoner
Melee having too much tankyness is a problem to begin with
I always think they buff defense value (just defense, not DR) by so much it is approaching actual broken level now
hi
True melee shouldn't be designed around tanking like reddit believes it should be
It's not like DR is the only stat to dictate if a build is tanky or not
be civil and respectful idc who you’re talking to
Nerfing one part of the 5 doesn't make it suddenly bad
Looks like I sparked some heat, that’s unfortunate
i mean you arent helping with ur offhanded comments lol
but sure go off
in any case im keeping your sugg exclaimed because its still asking to change something that isnt ingame yet
Yah, I’m just a random guy here
once ppl have a few days to adjust to the changes then they can complain all they want
you’re good
i would like to hate on the new sug but low key the idea is good
wym
it def has potential, having armor polish, or even a split line from armor polish, maybe even the occult skull crown line could have something related to it? i could certainly think of a few lacking accessories that could benefit from having interactions with def damage
ikr
a seperate upgrade for armour bracing would be based tho
thorium has one too I think lol
was thinking you could probably mix it with some of the lacking random bone related accessories like archaic powder and the lines, since the bracing has connections to the dungeon and skeletons, but that's getting into SiS territory
I personally think draeheart should stay as the single accessory that modifies defense damage in any way
idk I guess it makes it more meaningful
eh idk
so you only really get to use it for boss rush meaningfully
scal too if you kill her second
if the system exists i would like to use it more videly
No other tank accessory in the game does it then there's this thing you get from one of the final bosses
and the reductions could be relatively little amountts
yeah but like that isn't the main reason people use the item
yeah I'm not saying do the 50% thing
like maybe even 10%
like 10% max
it just makes draeheart shit because "oh it's the def damage one we can't change it too much" and at the point it's at the effect isnt even very good
you defo have my vote
ty
I'd love a draeheart rework tbh
it's not bad per se it's just pointless
at that stage of the game
I know they're going for a senator armstrong type deal but defense damage really doesn't have anything to do with that
Eventually there'll be more bosses after drae
yeah, boss rush removes the arena restrictions, which are the bosses where something like def damage matters the most because you're more likely to get hit by contact damage that inflicts it in the forst place
well we're not living in eventually lol
we're living in right now
did you mention METAL GEAR RISING?
I mean that's what draeheart is supposed to be
it's referencing armstrong's stand-still-while-healing thing where he... stands still
and he heals
Standiing heeere, I reaaaliseee, you are just like meee.....
DD forces you to dodge, halving dd means you don't have to dodge as much
meaning you can face tank again
If it didn't have the halved DD it would probably suck
And the stand-still isn't that hard to do with exo chair since you can just stop right then and there
I get that
I'm slow to the punch but
We've internally considered renaming shadowspec at least twice
So it's something on our radar
The compromise was that it got its "lore friendly" tooltip but we didn't change the name
what is shadowspec supposed to mean?
nothing it's some dude's name check the wiki
ah
the hole scal themeing needs renameing
cause supreme calamitas is cringe lets be honest (the name)
i do remember
I just fully reworked DH yesterday
@glossy marten
it still reduces defense damage by 50%
that's cool
damm
I stand by my suggestion tho I think dd reduction is something we need more of tbh
not up to me ultimately anyway
true
they fit
but i hate the boss name
but I see the dev point where the rename is hard due to scal and cal being such stuck as terms
1 - Rev+: Replaces adrenaline with nanomachines
2 - Normal/Expert: gives you adrenaline nanomachines
3 - Reduces defense damage by 50%
4 - 48 defense
5 - Nanomachines aren't lost on taking damage. Instead they stop generating for 4 seconds
6 - When Nanomachines meter is full, press Adrenaline key to heal for 240 over 2 seconds
7 - While healing, wings and mounts are disabled, your movement is crippled and you fall like a stone
also this is insanely cool
Same problem with the difficulty Rev itself. It's less than optimal but it's too cemented.
will nanomachines bar look different?
No, it looks the same in the UI. It just says nano machines instead of adrenaline.
ah
I hate the adrenaline and rage mechanics, I wish the game didn’t have them and instead balanced better to make up for them not in the game
that's just you chief
Play on Expert
yeah fr
Shattered Community adds rage on Normal and Expert now
So that you can use the items full power
scals new name could use the word servant in some way
that's cool
have you considered naming it something other than nanomachines
cause she is a servant off sorts
uh oh it shortens to ss
booh
That is lore inaccurate.
well she is a servant to yharims command until we free her
we need more senator armstrong references in game on goddd
Nothing wrong with the name but I guess it just sounds too reference-y for me
Then complain about the difficulty name, that's a way bigger problem
Will it get a custom bar too?
...
I'm blind
It's ok we all are sometimes
Honestly I just wish some cool items would be added
wait for 2.0 then
I mean to say calamity doesn't have cool items already is a lie
ark line my beloved
It does but not the one I want
is there a there the quote off ''Nanomachines, son!'' in the heart
yes
in the tooltip
I know of at least two cool reworks coming
perfect
The tooltip still has this quote even with the rework, yes.
I wish calamity would add some items I think would be good
it's not exactly their job to please you and only you is it
he's allowed to wish
Fair
I'm curious what he thinks a good item is tho
oh boi
I think a mount that is the airplane in cuphead would be awesome
gaming chair
So your idea of a good item is a blatant reference?
Also the hollow nail someone paid to be added will be awesome but idk when that will be added
It would be cool though
tru
Also the hollow knight as a boss
And also the smoke dash as an accessory from cuphead
a lot of things would be cool but it doesn't justify them existing if it's the only reason
I mean yeah but at some point the mod just becomes full of references
Bruh
People would enjoy them and it make the game better
I know that
more isn't always better
dreaded mgr brainrot
You can say that about literally any new content tho
There are people who would pop off if they added a Poop bar that allows you to shit on bosses
Something like borderlands guns at least aren't too obvious since not a lot of people know about them
There is actually a 1.3 mod which adds the "poopshit cannon" which is boss rush viable
iirc
as a joke
I guess I’m just a huge fan of hollow knight and cuphead and would like a cool crossover update can just be a boss and a couple of items
Terror
i mean just ask for a mod to b e made for indie game references
;
😭
insteado f wishing for calamity to have em lol
ozz in da sugg disc chat
truee
no way
Then install a Hollow Knihgt or Cuphead mod
or better yet jsut make one lol
Are there some? And do they balance with calamity?
why would i do that
@violet surge my honest response to this?
We have too many Calamity things to add and our time and motivation is spread thin as it is. We don't have the resources to also add every cool reference we could, we're too busy making Calamity itself lol
Its not the job for the Calamity devs to arbitrarily insert references to other indie games and insert a new boss that wouldn't fit in the lore cause its just a reference
This is why SIS are banned and why we closed patreon item donations.
We basically do not have time to add anything other than Calamity's own content anymore.
Dang
I don't want to be rude, but this comes across as extremely entitled
calamity development is just a motivation resource management game
It’s not entitled to at least try asking to get content everyone can enjoy
Do you guys have a giant list of stuff you want to add to calamity?
and you have to account that he biggest updates in calamity are next on line
(even your behaviour, with asking repeatedly "when will the pure nail be added" and stuff)
(like broh just wait its ok
(making me regret pinging nycro in the first place
if the time management even now is bad, imagine it later on
Random Hollow Knihgt and Cuphead references are far below the expansion to the Astral Infection, the Yharim update, blancing, porting to 1.4, pretty much everything
Actually yes, my todo list has over 100 lines.
i just want yharim like everyone else
Hollow nail is someone’s paid item, and I asked a couple of times. I understand if it will take forever I was wondering where it fell on their priority list
and lore
I don’t even know what yharim is


man's not a true calamity fan
Its not even an item you paid for, its just you despeartely wanting a reference to a game you played that you're already gonna get, just give it some time
I am new to calamity I am playing through it
Also, isn't there already a mod which adds a HK nail as a melee weapon?
so its just a token "big mod" for references to be stuffed into.. zamn
but yeah anyways making Calamity cooler is more important than making calamity not calamity
Yes I know I was just wondering if they know if it might take 6 months or even 2 years
I'm more eager for the awesome spider tank item but you don't see me asking around twice a day
closer to 2 years
auric tesla armour..?
intentionally had its yharim style helmet removed
That doesn't mention yharim at all
😎
That sounds pretty sweet I can’t wait too
I will have starting med when yharim comes
This chat is not for suggesting prioritzing some random new content, its for blance above everything else
i mean its 1 weapon it defintely won't take that long
them i will be a boomer
well its got a sprite at least
this chat is where I go to comment about suggestions when I see them and people should know some dev-specific stuff about them
anything else that happens here idc
I wasn’t suggesting it be prioritized here, just wanted to know where it fell on the list
also jax made most of those (late) reply
yharim flexing his full set of wulfrum armour under his auric tesla vanity
If you're a Hollow Knight fan, you should already have 6000X the patience of everyone else
yharim is john wulfrum
john yharim
I wish hollow knight had as good of mods as terraria
terrarias modding is way more establishded
we have 3 different giant to-dos and a giant trello board with 500+ items on it

Wow
brim, astral underground and sunken sea?
even beyond that
we actively have to constantly remove stuff from our todos
How long does it take per item? Also how can terraria handle adding this never ending content?
we have to throw out the bad ideas and only keep the good ones
a ton of niche things like sprites or balancing or weapon reworks
ton of other things like new mechanics
the mod loader supports adding 60k items, we are not ever going to get anywhere close to that
don't worry about that
and now that porting has been pain
ton of post-biome update plans
so much
so many
i will be out of college before calamity officially finishes its main content
like, genuinely
it depends on a dev being motivated enough to program it and/or have it sprited
and when we want to implement it
i hope you guys slow down on post game
My first year of college is next year I’m going into software engineering
i donttttttttt think we're adding anything post-game for a while
but i could be wrong!
and nice
4 years atleast

what classifies as "post game"?
our main goals are to flesh out the Calamity biomes and add post ML non-boss content
oh yeah
no superbosses
not until after yharim is in
and that's the last thing on the main game todo list
is dogs distortion world before superbosses
yes
How did you even come up with calamity lore
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
and the lore at the start was funny
early cal lore was just there to justify the game content
current cal lore is going throuhg second stage puberty
Hmm
its like confused about its identity but starting to form it
wait no thats 1st stage
the real lore is you're going to murder everyone and their family for sweet sweet loot
2nd is that it has found a way to define itself but it still looks on different options and the specifics
aka around the human age of 16-17
@small timber - Your suggestion has received an updated status!
[Add Alternative Crafting Recipe To Allow Chlorophyte Armor To Be Crafted Into Their Turtle, Spectre and Shroomite Counterpart]
It has been voted upon, and the devs decided it would be a good idea to implement it. This doesn't guarantee implementation, as plans may change/alternate plans may be made, but it does highly improve chances!

after finishing with the port, what's the next biome on the list
or is it an all at once situation
i think astral infection is a pretty big priority rn
rightfully so
because it is pretty boring
you just go there to kill 2 bosses get ore and leave
ah
i'm forgor
sunken sea does need it too
sunken sea has more going on than astral imo
i know they're adding pylons and stuff
but then again it's also smaller and exists for longer
sunken sea has lab clam and prisms
yeah
it needs work
I also think it's not really super appropriate for everything there to require nightmare pickaxe AND downed desert scourge just to hit
crag pretty smol too
what's wrong with desert scourge
it's my favorite source of fishing gear early on
not much really
the problem is that being able to mine in the sunken sea is locked behind it AND nightmare pickaxe
pick one please
(I already kill everything anyways but I wanna reach the lab early damnit)
no
@lyric depot Your defense/DR suggestion is actually close to being valid
You just need to add a why
I know you probably think it's obvious, but explain why the decreases should only happen in higher difficulties
Also your title could be a bit less passive-aggressive
Well, hm
I am assuming your sugg is in response to the recent changelogs
in which case it wouldn't be allowed anyway
Would only really apply for the current Endurance Pot nerf
i mean also youd have to a
adress the elephant in the room
(that elephant being, bosses deal less damage on lower difficulties)
That is also true
The scaling would be two-fold
Oh, I never expected that
I might have to repost it
your reasons are not really strong i think
im not sure whether "reduce the flame in the community" counts as a valid reason and you don't explain what the "dr and defense nerf situation" is
itd be more substantial if you just said some random stuff about making the game easier in easier modes and harder in harder modes or something like that
i think the community being pissed about the changes is mostly because they don't understand why
which should hopefully be fixed by simply explaining why from the beginning
if explaining why doesn't change anything there's nothing we could have done anyway
not gonna post it as a complete suggestion, but imo legendary droprates should scale based on calamity difficulty
example:
rev - +5%
death - +10%
(+malice - +10%)
being 30% at malice+death
that would be good because grinding bosses is harder on higher difficulties.
so amount of risk and work will be rewarded
iirc, the current legendaries that are still boss drops are just there as placeholders, as in like. they will eventually be given a different method of obtaining
correct me if im wrong though, i have a bad memory
all of them will be craftable/buyable?
yea I remember hearing they'll all eventually get a new method like SHPC got
yeah yeah, given a lot of them have been moved away from boss drops, it makes sense the others would, in due time, have that done to them too
That's cool
(it also still is a sugg against a changelog change which is a dont)
Edited sugg still gets a lot wrong
-Assumes we are going to remove defense/DR altogether (hilarious but not something that should be in the suggestion)
-Nohitters don't care about defense lol. They nohit. Why bring them up?
-Still doesn't really talk about the fact that lower difficulties have bosses do less damage
why not just nerf bosses more in lower difficulties
instead of going through a headache
programming adaptive tooltips that change based on difficulty
community 2 electric boogaloo
if we're removing 5% dr just decrease damage by a similar amount
there's also the issue where we'd run into defensive accessories being less useful in higher difficulties which was never the point of the DR nerf
in the end the DR changes won't actually be noticable, you'll die from the same amount of hits in 99% of circumstances
Tell that to reddit 
I said it’s not the best solution in the end of my suggestion
"Its not the best solution" doesn't make you immune to criticism
I don’t have any better suggestions and I know it’s not the best solution according to the devs situation and standard
you could make a suggestion for reducing the damage of endgame bosses because their damage currently scales much faster then defensive accessories
it would be both entirely valid and something we'd probably gladly accept
If you think theres a really obvious probalem with your suggestion, maybe don't post it
(Brutal)
Well, It’s just a suggestion. I want to see if it works or not
And according to this, it’s not gonna work apparently
Sorry if I come across as harsh, but as of recent, a lot of really smooth brained suggestions have been made and its been making me cynical lol
it’s ok
i mean ideally you just discuss the suggestion here and if other people say its reasonable you post it in #suggestions-posting
^
That makes sense
people tend to post suggs here first just like they would be shown in #suggestions-posting for feedback purposes
Reddit discovered the patch notes and everything broke lol
ahh
I have a question
If I suggest like let's say new ammunition, does that count as suggesting a specific item
depends on how in depth you go into its description i guess
like, are you gonna suggest new ammunition for a specific part of the game that is lacking ammo variety, or...?
Yeah, I suppose
go "aye some new ammunition would be nice", not "add a poopshitler ammunition type that plays a compressed audio file of every single episode of the simpsons in half a second and explodes on hit crafted with miracle matter and mini nukes"
no modded rocket ammunition 
Anyways I'll suggest it after breakfast
i mean, sure, nice DM Dokuro ref, but I really like "Gravitron Sabatons", it rhymes, and it feels good to speak something that rhymes
you say this like you ever pronounce a calamity name
(I can confirm no one uses vc as i don't therefore no one does)
in any case interestellar stompers is better because aureus stomps that's the whole point
It's not just funny music name drop it completely fits
true actually
i think the current name is fine though
space cleats
I actually say things frequently because I play almost exclusively multiplayer

moon clogs
bruise shoes
what does bruise have to do with space?
gloves are hand shoes
i'm talking about a robot

could always use heavensfall or something too
we're probably not renaming that boot anyways

@hollow shell this is the third time this has been reposted in like a month. should there be a cooldown or anything on it?
They obeyed the week-long repost minimum each time
We don't have a hard limit on how many times you can repost a suggestion because we figure the suggester will just give up eventually
gotcha
what if they never give up
I have had to intervene on a persistent repost exactly once in recent memory
Oh.
I'd love to find it cuz it was funny
I too would enjoy the entertainment
you can just look up global emotes and prolly find it (if it's the suggestion i think you're referring to)
I actually can't remember what emote it was, I am pretty sure it was an emote suggestion though
it was peepoweird lol
was it?
np lol
@thin hill A fine suggestion but no need to mention "not to mention the upcoming updates with 3 new bosses."
Cuz that is AEONS from now
yharim and the other two are not coming for a long time

What are the other two bosses coming after SCal tier?
Noxus and Xeroc
The ancient eldritch god duo
(they dont like each other i think)
Xeroc being essentially the real god of the universe, and Noxus being black hole cthulhu satan
noxus is probably just going to fart darkness everywhere anyways
ive had like
multiple devs
south park satan or just rude dude satan
With what aspect specifically
Xeroc is creator god man
(good)
Noxus is satan guy
(bad)
also caused the Astral Infection I think
and/or created it
Where does the "no" come in
Okay yeah Noxus is not an analogue for Satan
strict “noxus bad xeroc good”
I'm just saying that because he's the counter-force to the real god
Noxus is not conscious really
Animalistic primal eternal devourer
devourer

(it's just a common goal for a lot of entities to devour and consume endlessly)
(Slime God too)
both messed with astrum dues somehow!!!!!
tru
honestly i still wish
noxus was
like
goozma
if that was
a thing once
(i think it was)
Yes Goozma was the original plan that later got changed into Noxus
All Consuming Slime Blob Thing
Goozma's premise was the theoretical Slime God that was allowed to spiral out of control
yeah
Constantly consuming and gaining power without limit
Yep there was a fan-made mod for it
theres also Catalyst which basicly turned
Astrageldon into uh
pseudo goozma or something
Goozma got disconnected from the slime premise and renamed to Noxus
Re-established as a dark god (same family as Cthulhu and Moon Lord),
counter to Xeroc the light god (no others in existence I think? At one point it was the lore that Xeroc absorbed or destroyed them all so that he could be the supreme being, so not necessarily a good force)
Isn’t all of this info in the air tho
wacky
Considering lore rework
byeah the lore is in a constant state of being reworked
has been for the past like, two or three years
Fuckin meme at this point
holy shit i agree 1000% on cosmilite/auric/exoprism/ashes/shadowspec ammo
mus have
Ashes sounds pretty weird considering it’s the mage/summoner material
as a dev item
Auric/Exo ammo is possible
Use it for Nukes
shrimple

the virgin has a cool weapon as dev item vs chad makes dev arrows/bullets
so, what would yharon, exo and auric bullets loot like?
I was thinking for starters auric bullets would cost 333 musket balls, 1 auric bar and give you 333 tesla bullets.
They'd be golden ofc with a lightning effect and they'd scale off of your speed, so the faster you are the more damage you do but the harder it is to keep yourself from running into things...
whats the difference between yharon and auric
Electric Bullets from
Folly Feathers + Soul Frags
Polarities
bullets that just teleport to your target? so like, what if you miss? you dont see the shot and a shot gets used up?
whats hitscan?
sounds like you want an instant laser
I know but
ok, but part of aiming, at least for me is seeing the stream of bullets
dont worry it would probably work like the Shadowbeam Staff

in concept
based off
my
idea
understood, sir
not official
oooh, well wait, doesnt that invalidate the cog bullets? that move faster the longer they dont hit
