pliant ruin
#

idk, maybe

#

we don't know exactly how his essence absorbing works

abstract cove
#

providence is evil?

pliant ruin
#

evil as hell

#

she wants to commit literal

abstract cove
#

tbf she did demand sacrifices or smth right

pliant ruin
#

omnicide

#

like

#

killing everyone

abstract cove
#

o ye i remember reading about that

scenic olive
pliant ruin
#

i really have to emphatize

#

everyone.

scenic olive
#

everything

abstract cove
#

its cause the primordial light or smth right

cold owl
pliant ruin
#

shes just evil

spring helm
#

"Don't look at me mortal, I'm naked right now"

abstract cove
#

o

crimson finch
#

Jumbo Josh should be added as a boss and revealed to be Yharim’s twin brother Jumbo Jharim

scenic olive
pliant ruin
#

extreme nihilism leads to her thinking that life in of itself is bad

#

and the only way to achieve peace is

#

killing everyone

abstract cove
#

o

crimson finch
#

No problem

pliant ruin
#

providence and yharim are the two contenders for most evil characters in the mod rn that we know of

crimson finch
#

I’ll see myself out

pliant ruin
#

it's debatable which one of them is more evil cuz they're like

#

different brands of evil

#

but they're both really fucked

cold owl
abstract cove
#

what about the exo mechs/draedon?

pliant ruin
#

draedon wants to learn

#

thjat's. that's his entire motivation

abstract cove
#

they seem pretty evil, atleast in the ways they learn

pliant ruin
#

he wants to learn, research

#

i've said this b4 but

#

draedon objectively can't be evil, or good

abstract cove
pliant ruin
#

he has no emotions

#

he's basically just following his programming

abstract cove
pliant ruin
#

he might do some pretty evil things, but due to the lack of emotion he objectively cannot be judged on the same level of morality as a human

#

if he was a human

#

he'd absolutely be evil

#

but he's not, and becasue of that he's quite literally outside of any moral scale

abstract cove
#

kk

spring helm
cold owl
abstract cove
#

why does he want to kill yharim of all people

wheat walrus
pliant ruin
#

jokes aside

scenic olive
#

omnicide

pliant ruin
#

he wants to research the societal implications of someone like yharim dying

#

so in other words

spring helm
#

He doesn’t want to kill Yharim himself, he sees that we want to kill Yharim and is interested to see what happens

wheat walrus
#

been 12 minutes since pride month started here and people already wanna kill me

scenic olive
#

im gonna commit an omnicide

cold owl
abstract cove
#

if he wants us to kill yharim why does he attack us in the first place?

pliant ruin
#

this gif

spring helm
#

So he evens the fight and gives us some of his stuff

wheat walrus
#

guess I'll have to unleash my gay form

#

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

pliant ruin
#

he wants to know how yharim dying would affect fishing season

scenic olive
spring helm
pliant ruin
#

draedon is honestly closer to an ally than a enemy imo, though he's not exactly either

abstract cove
#

didnt yharim cause the acidic sea and mass trollage of the sunken sea people?

pliant ruin
#

indirectly yes

#

he manipulated a child calamitas into doing it

pliant ruin
#

cuz she was a child soldier

abstract cove
pliant ruin
#

she was like. 13 or something according to dev statements

spring helm
abstract cove
#

whats the relationship between scal and brimstone elemental?

wheat walrus
# wheat walrus <:wires:1126556862070915214>

we're already getting a lot of flak for the announcement of us going scorched earth on horny comment we don't need more flak because an user on discord told me to ban everyone

abstract cove
#

they seem similar in powers

wheat walrus
#

🇮🇹

cold owl
spring helm
abstract cove
spring helm
#

But it was already a thing for a while

cold owl
#

Azafure is the crags, the first city

spring helm
cold owl
#

Home of SCal

pliant ruin
#

azafure is the city calamitas lived inj

abstract cove
#

o

pliant ruin
#

then brimstone elemental tried to destroy it

#

calamitas tried to fight against it

pliant ruin
#

but she was a toddler and didn't know how to control her power

#

so she uhh

#

accidentaly destroyed azafure

abstract cove
#

o

spring helm
#

Okay she wasn’t that young

wheat walrus
pliant ruin
#

and her siblings in the proccess

pliant ruin
#

illmeris burning

spring helm
#

That’s not toddler age 🧀

pliant ruin
#

she probably was a stupid dumb goo goo gaa gaa 9 year old then

#

a 9 year old is a toddler

#

don't @ me

#

i'm right

spring helm
#

I would say that she was 12 or 13 when she fought brimmy and like 15 when she burnt the fish people

pliant ruin
#

12 and 14 seems fair enough actually

cold owl
#

The city was an ally of Yharim that had smiths who made him weapons and armor before Draedon joined.

It was latter destroyed when Brimstone elemental woke up and had an intense fight with Scal

spring helm
#

Because the bestiary says that she inherited her power as a teenager

pliant ruin
#

either way

#

she just

#

wasn't very old

#

dumb child

spring helm
#

It reminds me of the drawing I made

pliant ruin
#

eye of xeroc

spring helm
pliant ruin
#

imagine if u wake up on day and you look outside and the eye of xeroc is there

cold owl
pliant ruin
#

how would u react

spring helm
pliant ruin
#

would u be scared or would you go ''oh hey xeroc whats up"

cold owl
#

CDMusic cooked

abstract cove
#

why havent yharim and providence fought yet

spring helm
abstract cove
#

providence seems to be the perfect target for yharim

spring helm
pliant ruin
#

providence basically just

#

shows up

abstract cove
#

literally the epitome of what he hates

pliant ruin
#

kills a fuckton of yharim's soldiers

abstract cove
pliant ruin
#

disappears

spring helm
#

The strat that works for both slime god and providence

pliant ruin
#

refuses to elaborate

spring helm
#

“When Yharim approaches, we run away”

pliant ruin
abstract cove
#

cant yharim just track her down or smth? we murder her and with way worse gear than yharim

pliant ruin
#

slime god is just

#

hiding

#

providence on the other hand is trolling the fuck out of yharim

#

just

#

shows up

#

kills his men

#

leaves

pliant ruin
#

if he knew where she was

spring helm
pliant ruin
#

the reason we kill her is cuz she got cocky and went ''haha lol another person to kill"

#

then. yknow.

spring helm
#

So she came after us

#

Unlike Yharim who had to track her down

abstract cove
#

o

pliant ruin
#

also killing the terrarian would probably be a good way to spread her ideology

#

like

#

''look at this so called hero. they just fucking died. because WE'RE ALL GOING TO FUCKING DIE. so MIGHT ASWELL let me KILL YOU

abstract cove
#

o

#

how strong is eol in lore? is her daytime instakill canon?

pliant ruin
#

EoL has very little lore on her as most of the vanilla bosses but

#

whta we do know

#

is that she's capable of ''stealing'' power like some sort of parasite

#

she tried ''stealing'' primordial light

#

but uhh

abstract cove
#

o

pliant ruin
#

it was too strong for her and now she's kind of a ''slave'' to primordial

spring helm
#

She might be able to instakill us at that point in the game

#

When we fight her

#

Primordial light is strong stuff

#

But not anymore

abstract cove
#

could the terrarian handle primordial light?

cold owl
spring helm
abstract cove
#

o

cold owl
#

Xeroc is def that kid to say that they know something cool, but when you ask them about it, they stay dead silent.

pliant ruin
#

the strongest terrarian gets is probs

glacial rampart
pliant ruin
#

yharim or noxus

spring helm
#

The devs are not planning on the player being stronger than xeroc

pliant ruin
#

(depending of how the noxus fight actually goes, if it gets implemented)

#

either way

#

noxus is the cap for terrarian's strenght canonically as far as we know

spring helm
#

But I mean

Almost everything about the Terrarian is meant to be player headcanon anyway so

pliant ruin
#

if xeroc gets added as a superboss

spring helm
#

Just say you are if you want to I guess

pliant ruin
#

we will fight them ofc

#

but we won't actually kill him

abstract cove
#

y tho?

cold owl
#

Does make me wonder, would we be more stronger than Fovos (prime).

pliant ruin
#
  1. as far as we're concerned there's no reason to kill xeroc
#

ofc maybe ur character's headcanon wants to kill xeroc or smth but

#

at a base

#

there's no real reason to go after xeroc

#

that we know of

cold owl
abstract cove
#

kk

#

what'll happen with silva?

pliant ruin
#

she'll come back

#

eventually

#

probably way after we kill yharim

spring helm
#

I have plans

abstract cove
cold owl
#

NOOO

pliant ruin
#

what does that mean

glacial rampart
cold owl
pliant ruin
#

i don't get it

spring helm
#

Hehe

crimson finch
#

I do clueless

abstract cove
glacial rampart
#

the joke is sex

crimson finch
#

#

Using gloves to eat Pringle’s

#

Dipping them in the planty mush

spring helm
#

Let’s go

glacial rampart
#

i long for the day where people are not constantly gross about fictional characters in public discord servers

spring helm
#

Braelor 2.0

cold owl
crimson finch
#

Don’t know where you got sexualizing characters from chips & dip

glacial rampart
#

im not an idiot bro 😭

spring helm
#

Planet mush probably tastes like shit tbh

crimson finch
#

I am clueless wires

#

Spinch dip

spring helm
#

Salty because it’s from the abyss

crimson finch
#

And poisonous

#

Sulphuric Waters

cold owl
#

Primordial wym is toxic

crimson finch
#

Yeah but why would you eat the cool pets???

cold owl
#

I wonder if someone ever tried drinking out of the glowing green water of the sulphurous sea before

spring helm
#

Calamity’s vanities letting me have full sized DoG as a pet (I can’t see anything)

crimson finch
#

You don’t go to McDonald’s to eat the children at the PlayPlace, why would you eat the worms in the abyss???

spring helm
#

Excuse me?

abstract cove
spring helm
#

What are you eating at the abyss?

cold owl
spring helm
#

Anyway regarding future plans for Silva, if they make her an NPC she’s either gonna be another dryad but with better stuff, or she’s like calamitas and has some other gimmick

#

At least that’s what I think

#

Maybe she’ll make us do a quest to earn he her blessing or something

spring helm
#

Outside of just being stronger physically, what do you think Silva’s blessing does

#

Before Draetalk I thought it would extend your lifespan because I assumed Braelor got sent into the Distortion a long time before the game started

#

But I’m not sure now

wheat walrus
#

castrazione forzata

spring helm
#

Idk what that means

wheat walrus
scenic olive
#

Silva Flavoured

spring helm
#

oh dear

graceful otter
#

this sounds wrong

#

i feel like i havent like

#

explained properly

buoyant inlet
#

Well, we don't know if solar system even exists

#

Maybe planets just drift through space in small local groups

graceful otter
#

low orbit study log (log for space lab)

buoyant inlet
#

What does it say exactly

graceful otter
#

"cluster of planets"

buoyant inlet
#

Well, that's what I meant

#

"Solar system" would imply that there's a main star that hold all objects in the system together

crimson finch
#

Draedon looks like a mustard fan

graceful otter
buoyant inlet
#

Yeah that's better I think

plucky juniper
graceful otter
#

a project im working on

plucky juniper
#

epic

graceful otter
#

rn ive done on everything space related

#

except aureus but he isnt rlly

#

space related rlly

stuck shore
#

How well would each calamity character (of Yharims army) try to make a Willy wonka experience?

halcyon dust
#

Signus could be The Unknown

stuck shore
solar wharf
fierce pagoda
#

You guys think statis betrayed braelor and left him alone in the distortion

pliant ruin
#

I mean, the latter part is true

#

but i'm not sure about the former

#

We don't know much about them, character-wise

#

buttt

#

the fact that statis wants you to kill signus might be implying he's not exactly happy with him and/or his deal

#

perhaps it was a sort of faustian bargain type deal

#

where statis thought he was getting him and braelor out

#

but signus pulled a fast one and went ''well actually i never said that specifically"

#

we don't know enough about like, any of the three characters involved to say for sure right now

#

but i doubt statis actively betrayed braelor

#

i could b wrong tho

fierce pagoda
#

I hope he didnt betray him

#

The lore is full of tragedies already

#

Let us just have this one win

graceful otter
#

‘For any desire, there is a price’. A deal bound in Onyx and sealed in blood, and one can have any wish granted– a gateway, a promise, a betrayal.
this is the first 2 lines

#

of signus' bestiary entry

solar wharf
#

so it might have been a betrayal

#

do we even know if braelor is alive

graceful otter
solar wharf
#

o

graceful otter
#

ull meet him during gameplay

fierce pagoda
#

Maybe Signus was the one who did the betraying

fair token
#

a Braelor fight would go hard, but theres no reason to add that in base cal

sinful adder
#

Some kind of sparring match would be neat yeah

solar wharf
#

i mean, braelor could do what calamitas did

#

"oh my god... IS THAT YHARIM 2.0"

fair token
#

seems dumb

hollow dagger
#

signus? more like, sigma 🤫🧏 (bye bye!!!) lord forgive me for i have committed a great sin today

fair token
#

having multiple would be allies do the same shit and be a boss

#

is pretty dumb

#

imo

sinful adder
#

That would be dumb

wheat walrus
sinful adder
#

But a fight would still make sense as like, training

fair token
#

yeah but thats addon territory

#

god i have like

#

3 ideas for addons but i know ill never be able to do that shit lmao

pliant ruin
#

i mean

#

the reason calamitas thinks ur gonna be yharim 2 is

#

she knows of ur actions

#

braelor is just stuck on the distortion then u show up without him knowing you

#

would he just come to that conclusion cuz ur wearing auric or something LMAO

fair token
#

Calamitas knows of your actions and not of you

#

Braelor will be learning of your actions with the context of you saving him

pliant ruin
#

i mean idk that seems strange

#

is being strong = yharim

fair token
#

Calamitas is jadded as hell (reasonably so)

#

so she sees yhour actions and doesnt even give you a chance to say your piece

#

from what we know of Braelor

#

i think he would let us say our piece

#

and you know Calamitas didnt give us any chance to talk because if she did she probably wouldnt fight us if we mentioned Permafrost was on our side

#

which idk like if your terrarian has any braincells and was confronted by calamitas and given a chance to talk

#

the first thing youd mention is permafrost

#

one fo the only things you know that would give her pause

solar wharf
#

u assuming hes friend with a dragon thats fine with the genocide?

#

wait nvm

#

if we meet braelor its gonna be

#

before yharon

#

as thats when we enter distrotion

#

nvm

sinful adder
#

There's the whole "mock attunement" thing that was known about

solar wharf
#

that was known?

floral crane
#

Amidias knew about it

pliant ruin
#

idk i just dont think braelor would have any reason to think we're yharim 2

fair token
#

if we mert Braelor its probably post dog, so i imagine he will know 2 things of us when we meet him

#

we killed DoG

pliant ruin
#

given he dosent know anything we've done

fair token
#

we are saving him

#

he has no reason to fight us

solar wharf
#

he has no reason to trust us either

#

also i didnt outright mean yharim 2.0 like what calamitas was thinking

#

braelor would be more...

#

mentally stable

#

violence wouldnt be

#

the first thing he would do

#

or atleast is what i think of him

fair token
#

yeah so even he doesnt turst us

#

hed probably hear us out

#

which would mean no fight

solar wharf
#

it just reaches a point where, "ok so this guy killed slime god... my husbands god, is he really a good guy?"

fair token
#

it attacked us

solar wharf
#

ye but if i kill ur friend and say "HE ATTACKED ME" with no evidence

#

u really gonna trust me?

#
  • to him, slime god attacking us could mean we were a threat to something
#

which braelor could take as

#

"this guy might be evil"

pliant ruin
#

actually

#

if he knew we killed slime god

fair token
#

when you hear us out and all the people we have to vouch for us, unless you have some weird headcanon for your terrarian

#

Braelor wouldnt fight us

pliant ruin
#

thta might actually be a good reason for him to be suspicious

#

but i don't think he'd just see a random person that's strong enough to kill DoG and think Yharim

#

Yharim 2 kill now

#

i remember how devs stated smth about

#

our actions influencing how much npcs like us sometime here, even if it wasn't exactly that

#

ofc don't quote me on that

#

i wonder if they'd ever think of

fair token
#

also thats not even like

pliant ruin
#

some way of ''sparing'' certain bosses like slime god lol

#

it might be ag ood way of

fair token
#

considering the fact that maybe when we meet Braelor

pliant ruin
#

making both statis and braelor like us more

fair token
#

we've figured out statis' shit

pliant ruin
#

i doubt it

#

but it'd be cool

solar wharf
#

they always would vouch for me

solar wharf
#

however amidias got fucked by evil mfs so braelor would probably doubt

#

him joining us

floral crane
#

Statis could vouch for us when he gets added maybe

solar wharf
#

if we were evil

pliant ruin
#

permafrost and amidias could def vouch for us

graceful otter
pliant ruin
#

and honestly probably statis too

#

also all the otgher npcs but they don't matter so who cares

solar wharf
fair token
#

vanilla npcs react to stuff in cal so you ahve to consider that

fair token
floral crane
#

"Nah they're tryna kill Yharim too, they're chill"

fair token
#

is enough

pliant ruin
#

astrum deus comes back from space out of nowhere to go ''yeah that guy is cool he freed me from the infection" and everyone is like ''wtf is that guy doing her - WAIT IT CAN TALK" and then it just immediately goes back to space as if nothing happened

solar wharf
#

what says those people arent just my faction

#

they do live in an area we built

#

amidias could probably pull it off as i assume braelor recongizes him

fair token
#

idk maybe im just dumb but the vibe is that Braelor isnt that jaded

#

to me

pliant ruin
#

i mean fair enough but also that'd require you to be a good bit paranoid

solar wharf
#

most of the npcs are nobody tho

fair token
#

also again we killed DoG, so at the very least

#

wed make a good temporary ally

solar wharf
#

have you seen yharims army? to be that manipulated

pliant ruin
#

which i think the only character that would be that paranoid would be calamitas but we don't know much abt braelor or statis personality wise yet so

solar wharf
#

why wouldnt braelor think thats another possibility

fair token
#

and id like to have some people who arent jaded

#

for once

pliant ruin
#

braelor hasn't been on the distortion for that long

#

he's probably reasonably ok

solar wharf
#

but braelor cant just be that trusting

pliant ruin
#

i mean

#

that dosen't feel like being particularly trusting

#

it just feels like not being paranoid

sinful adder
solar wharf
#

i agree that amidias would probably pull it off, hes famous and got fucked by yharim, he isnt easy to manipulate as he has experience and used to be good

sinful adder
#

No?

solar wharf
#

but i dont think random npcs would

pliant ruin
#

some person saved you, some other people confirm that Yes they're cool, and you jump to the idea that they're like Yharim singularly because they killed slime god

solar wharf
pliant ruin
#

At best

solar wharf
#

draetalk

pliant ruin
#

i can see

#

Braelor being reasonably a bit Upset that we killed slime god and maybe not liking us That Much

#

but i doubt he'd just

#

This guy is Evil

#

This guy is Evil trust me

solar wharf
#

if he went after us that implies we did something

#

so braelor would think

pliant ruin
#

I mean

solar wharf
#

"is this guy a threat"

pliant ruin
#

we don't know much abt slime god even

#

we know it wasn't necessarily evil

#

but nothing outright says it was benevolent

#

we probalby should wait for statis to rly decide

solar wharf
#

ye killing for no reason is outright evil, and thats confirmed to not be the case

graceful otter
#

me when i dont fight slime god but kill queen slime (ive broken the entire narrative)

solar wharf
#

its very dumb for braelor to trust words when he known slime god

#

to not be evil

#

and to not kill for petty or no reason

#

so why would the terrarain be good if sg

#

decided

#

"oh this guy needs to go"

#

i honestly agree with the claim that braelor wouldnt attack us

fair token
#

Balance does not care about good or evil

#

Slime God would probably go after a saint beucase thats still not balanced

solar wharf
#

he probably at best would just be "im gonna keep my distance but.. i dont really have anything against you"

pliant ruin
#

I think he might be a little upset and maybe slightly distrusting of us but to jump to the conclusion that we're evil just because of that seems like a jump

pliant ruin
#

this makes sense

#

i can see this

graceful otter
#

"paragon of balance" but has a personal vendetta against the players after u start killing his little roombas

fair token
#

Yeah i never said

#

i think Barelor would be besties with us

#

and since this spawned form me saying it would make a cool addon to fight him

#

a good angle would probably be "seeing your temperment through battle"

#

so a bit like calamitas

solar wharf
#

i think the vouching from trusted sources such as amidias + the fact that we saved him for basically free would ease the distrust but i dont think he would be an outright ally

fair token
#

but less jaded

pliant ruin
#

just a idea tho

solar wharf
#

this is all assuming braelor still likes statis tbh

#

we dont know if statis betrayed him or not

pliant ruin
#

yeah true but i personally doubt it

#

my idea is

#

faustian bargain

sinful adder
#

I think Braelor will just be completely fine with us

pliant ruin
#

statis tried to get both him and braelor out of the distortion

#

signus went ''well achksually"

#

only takes statis

sinful adder
#

Statis might be wary, but I don't think he'd definitely be enemies

fair token
#

my other idea for an addon (and the one id more likely make if i ever got into making addons) is one of Yharim's generals

I've always wanted to fight someone from his army

pliant ruin
#

it'd be cool if braelor misunderstood statis and thought he betrayed him

#

but then

#

they recoinciliate and he understands what actually happened

#

it'd be a cool little gay character arc

sinful adder
#

I think Braelor is too nice for that

pliant ruin
#

also we beat up signus

pliant ruin
#

other than

#

they're good guys and almost killed yharim. also they gay

#

that's kind of it

sinful adder
#

True but like

#

It just feels like he's the very kind hero knight type

fair token
#

Honestly given his design

#

it would be a great subversion

#

if hes the more serious of the pair

#

instead of being super nice

pliant ruin
#

i see him being a lawful good type guy

#

maybe he can be both honestly

#

he's very kind and benevolent but is also the more cool headed and responsible of the two

solar wharf
pliant ruin
#

and is the first one to start going 🤨 when something's up

solar wharf
#

after calamity finishes i mean

fair token
#

Barelor is probably a nice guy but cares a little too much about preaching about Silva to you

pliant ruin
#

lmao

fair token
pliant ruin
#

calamity addon

solar wharf
#

that would be so peak when the mod finishes

pliant ruin
#

lets you fight all of the dragons mentioned in the lore....

solar wharf
#

not rn as we dont know much

pliant ruin
#

zeratros fight

#

flame dragon fight

#

vetrasyl fight...

solar wharf
#

but when calamity mod finishes in its entirely

#

someone could actually work on that

pliant ruin
#

honestly

#

a addon that just lets you fight

#

all of the dead characters that were seemingly powerful

#

would be so cool

solar wharf
#

ikr

pliant ruin
#

like that one hollow knighht mod

fair token
#

also, I dont see Silva as a combtant

pliant ruin
#

that lets you fight the great knights and tiso

fair token
#

you'd theme a Braelor fight heavily off Silva

#

so hes basically tyhe Silva fight

pliant ruin
#

it'd probably start off with like

spring helm
#

Calamity addon: You are Fovos

#

And it’s a boss rush of like 40 dragons

pliant ruin
#

dragon of gluttony, then maybe a duo fight with both tyrian and otonilou, then the dragon of flame or vetrasyl, and it'd finally end with zeratros and then prime fovos

fair token
graceful otter
pliant ruin
#

a duo fight with tyrian as the actual fighter and otonilou as a sort of mage/support would be so cool actually

#

but yeah if i ever made an addon the first one i would do is the Yharim General idea

#

Its the most glaring ommision in the mod to me

pliant ruin
#

it could work as like

spring helm
#

Imagine being a giant cosmic squid wanting to take a visit on the blue and green planet and then getting jumped by a thousand dragons

graceful otter
#

i dont wanna make an addon

#

instead i wanna make a fangame

pliant ruin
#

but ofc

graceful otter
#

i wont share any more details tho

pliant ruin
#

theyre dead

#

so it'd be like

#

through a dream or smth

solar wharf
#

fovos being a superboass

#

superboss*

pliant ruin
#

spiritual guidance type thing

fair token
#

thats just another mod

pliant ruin
#

like u go to sleep

solar wharf
fair token
#

Calamity Origins type beat

pliant ruin
#

and then you're dreaming but it's not actually dreaming and your conscious is actually fighting otonilou and tyrian in some wacky spirit realm as they try to decide if ur actually good enough to continue ur journey and beat yharim

#

would be cool if after you beat them and are leaving back to the waking world one of them says like

fair token
#

ill be real for a second

pliant ruin
#

'say hi to amidias for me'

fair token
#

if Xeroc ever gets added

pliant ruin
#

and then you get new amidias dialogue lol

fair token
#

I hope that the fight ends at like 90%, and it just takes a long time to get there

#

and his ai changes like

#

every 1%

pliant ruin
#

LMAO

#

THTA WOULD BE SO COOL

#

it would really make it clear you are NOT on bro's level

#

tho it might be rly misguiding

#

so maybe instead

#

it's just like

#

100-0% type beat but when you get to 1% he actually goes ''damn! anyways that wasn't actually my real healthbar but ur pretty strong have these cool items" and then their healthbar would be at like 99%

#

i doubt it cuz it seems like xeroc is not meant to be that strong

fair token
#

I feel like on a superboss

pliant ruin
#

but it'd be hilarious and cool

fair token
#

you can get away with a cute gimmick

#

with the hp bar

#

if the hp bar was more complex

#

yoiu could probably make it visually clear

#

that you onyl have to do 10% of damage

#

but its really simple

graceful otter
#

id like its main theme to be about letting go of the past

solar wharf
#

a none issue to xeroc

#

which is weird to think about

pliant ruin
#

yeah

solar wharf
#

i feel like noxus wouldnt beat xeroc but do give him an issue

pliant ruin
#

i doubt it'd actually happen

#

but it'd be funny

#

wouldn't fit too well with the lore we have

solar wharf
#

u could do it, just not with 90%

#

probably 50%

pliant ruin
#

getting him to like

#

50%

#

yeah

#

maybe when you get thm to 50%

#

they start preparing a seemingly unavoidable attack that would probably kill you

#

like

#

a huge light supernova type deal

#

but then they go

#

''...actually i think that's probably enough already."

fair token
#

I dont really know why Calamity took out the instances where it fucked with your expecatations via the hp bar

pliant ruin
#

probably because

fair token
#

its one of my favorite things in games

pliant ruin
#

from a gameplay standpoint

#

it's really confusing

#

unless there's like

fair token
#

its not though

pliant ruin
#

a ''tell'' that the healthbar isn't really meant to be trusted in some way

pliant ruin
#

barely doing damage to a boss

#

and they're still at like

#

98%

fair token
#

Yharon, Dragon of Rebirth having a second phase where heals back to full

pliant ruin
#

they're gonna assume the boss is insanely strong and nigh unbeatable

fair token
#

is not confusing

pliant ruin
#

and probably get really frustrated

fair token
#

I get you ont he Xeroc thing

pliant ruin
#

i didn't even know about that lol

fair token
#

but im more so talking about stuff like Yharon

#

yeah Yharon used to heal back to full

#

to start pahse 2

#

the healing phases ended when the lyrics started in roar

#

iirc

pliant ruin
#

yeah that seems cool i cant see any immediate issues withit

fair token
#

back in the day when he didnt have Rbeirth in his name

#

i could see the reasoning

#

but now its like

#

"hes the dragon of rebirth this shouldnt be confusing to you"

#

isnt unreasonable to say

#

espically if you give it some flair

#

and make it obvious that what is happenign is that hes dying and coming back

#

really hope that does get made more obvious

#

in the eventual resprite

#

I feel like a lt of people proabbyl dont realize thats what the phase transition is

real silo
#

If it takes yharon ten years to rebirth then I don't see how he'd be able to rebirth in the middle of the fight

solar wharf
#

ig it doesnt make sense in the since that rebirth cant be done immedaitly

#

so it confuses players

#

we'd probably get people here

real silo
#

Yeah

solar wharf
#

who would say

#

"yharon can just revive himself!!"

real silo
#

yeah

#

If he can revive that fast what's stopping him from reviving after the second phase for a phase 3

fair token
#

I dont think hes fully rebirthing himself

#

hes like

#

almost dying

graceful otter
#

they could always make the infight rebrith have some sort of caveat

fair token
#

and then healing back up

#

kepe in mind i thik the self damage

#

is phase 2 exclsuive

graceful otter
#

it isnt

fair token
#

dang

#

they should make it phase 2 exclsuive

#

that would be a cool way to explain it

#

"yeah yharon can keep himself alive with his power but he will still die if he keeps doing it"

real silo
#

Necro armor no way

solar wharf
#

maybe even lyrics on the screen

#

"THE ENEMT ASCENDED BEYOND UR CONTROL"

fair token
#

no thanks there

solar wharf
#

in the cut scene

#

not mid battle

#

in the cut scene of him changing

#

into phase 2

fair token
#

thats too much and takes you out of it

glacial rampart
#

never put lyrics on screen in game

#

never ever

graceful otter
#

highly unlikely that calamity will have cutscenes midfight

solar wharf
real silo
#

Just change the phase two text message to "the enemy is ascending beyond your control...."

solar wharf
#

it could work with another boss

graceful otter
#

iirc fab isnt a huge fan of it considering terraria

fair token
graceful otter
#

terraria wasnt built for cutscenes, especially during midfight

fair token
#

I agree, i just want like

#

a bit more cinematic effects that arent just death and spawn animations

real silo
#

In infernum's case I just use the custcene time to get in a better position

fair token
#

not even a cutscene where camera control is taken away

#

just make some of the animations and phase transitons

#

have more flourish

real silo
#

Exo twins have the perfect phase transition

#

Short but noticeable

fair token
#

they have a phase transition?

real silo
#

Yes

fair token
#

had no idea

real silo
#

They eject their eye lenses

solar wharf
#

can you really make yharons transition short tho? that just feels wrong

#

no longer feels like a power boost

real silo
#

True

fair token
#

you cna make it more impactful and obvious whats happenign

real silo
#

Well exo twins is only a quarter of the exo mechs fight so

fair token
#

without making it a cutscene

#

espcialy once you make Yharon a proper phoenix design

solar wharf
#

animating the sprite you mean?

fair token
#

yeah

solar wharf
#

that could work yea

fair token
#

i mean litereally, even just doing what Infernum does but not yanking camera control away

solar wharf
#

desert scourge became so much cooler even tho nothing actually was added

fair token
#

would work

real silo
#

I'd love some radiance style flashbangs

fair token
#

Infernum didnt need to yank control of camera way for its yharon phase transition animation

#

it does

solar wharf
#

doesnt infernum do that with a lot of transitions

fair token
#

yes

#

but its not required

solar wharf
#

i also love death animations, yharon has one but its so boring

real silo
#

I mean it's really fucking easy to miss those transitions without the camera panning

fair token
#

Im pretty sure that cal dev team hates desperation attacks (im not a huge fan either) but yharon is defintely a boss that needs one i think

#

just make it really easy to dodge like infernum's

solar wharf
#

yharons entire fight is based off of desperation so it would make sense ye

fair token
#

Yharon';s last like

#

20% or whatever in infernum

#

where he just perma dashes and then his desperation

#

is so perfect

#

it feels so inline with what he is

real silo
#

erm his actual desperation is the fireball spam

fair token
#

yes?

#

i said perma dash and then desperation

#

unless i skipped an attack

real silo
#

you edited it...

#

The fireball attack is useless anyways you just run the fuck away

fair token
#

yes becuase its there for flavor

#

not for difficulty

real silo
#

And you completely miss seeing him actually die

fair token
#

a better version might be

#

the fire rings

#

have him spawn fire rings as he dies

#

since you can dodge those close

real silo
#

Give him mithrix pizzas

fair token
#

idk what that is

#

and ive foguht Mithrix

#

lmao

real silo
#

It's the walls attack

fair token
#

ah

#

honestly a really cool idea

#

could be something like inf as

real silo
#

Seth from split has that attack and it's fun as hell

fair token
#

yharon as he dioes like moves towards you but a lot slower and maybe like

#

throws out singular firfeballs

real silo
fair token
#

lol

real silo
fair token
#

he does his fire breath but its like

#

tiny and pathetic

#

lmao

real silo
#

Yharon doesn't even have a fire breath

#

Which seems criminal

fair token
#

doesnt he do fire breath when he spawns the falling projectiles

pliant ruin
#

i think yharon should get eaten by a apple

real silo
#

That's infernum

pliant ruin
#

and then the apple should die due to draconic allergies because i hate apples

fair token
#

actually i literally just thought of a perfect idea

fair token
#

yharon's death animation is extended and he moves towards you at a pretty low speed

#

throwing out fireballs

#

but never directly at you

#

(hes missing)

solar wharf
#

you could also make it so, if u do run at them and make them hit u

#

let it deal actually 0 damahe

#

just a pop uo

#

"0"

fair token
#

they just fizzle out

#

lmao

#

Yharon's death is probably like the second most important thing thats going to happen in cal, it deserves a lot of flair

real silo
#

Have him fall to the floor and pant until you kill him

fair token
#

i really really hope they do something about scal

#

she has a proper death phase

#

and it was ruined when she got the resprite

real silo
#

I just want to listen to acceptance

solar wharf
#

was she having a mental breakdown during our fight

fair token
#

her dialogue is non canon

#

its old and going to be rewritten

real silo
#

They should have her closing dialogue happen after she stops attacking instead of while you're busy trying to not die

solar wharf
#

ye but im asking if thats the case anywah

fair token
#

calamitas is probably in a state of perpuetual mental breakdown

#

so yes

pliant ruin
#

I foresee the future

#

Yharim's death will be like senator armstrong

#

He'll get killed but then will be like ''You and me... we are the same...." or something and his last thoughts before he dies will be that he convinced you to be the next godseeker

real silo
#

He's so clueless

sly bloom
pliant ruin
#

i mean you killed like 3 of the 5 gods left

#

there's not much to uh

#

seek

spring helm
#

“At least I leave behind a worthy successor.”

Terrarian who stopped listening 10 minutes ago: “huh?”

sly bloom
#

Also with how much inspiration Calamity has taken from Metal Gear Rising, I wouldn't be surprised at all

And it would be peak

vocal snow
#

important question: how do I pronounce ae in Draedon. Like Draidon or Dra[æ]don?

glacial rampart
#

Dray

neat tinsel
#

did we ever finish the ai doctor mario but with cal characters thing?

sly bloom
calm patio
#

point found the person who only plays mgrr and not metal gear solid

sly bloom
real silo
vocal snow
#

me too, but it seems that opinions on that matter do differ

real silo
#

just don't pronounce it like drodayn or something ridiculous

trim edge
#

it's pronounced doctor aedon

mighty zenith
#

please, dr. aedon was my father

scenic olive
#

Drade on

real silo

and then he fucking combusts

cloud ibex
#

perfect

pliant ruin
#

btw not to indulge in my biggest autism rn but i was thinking about how the inquisitors in limbus company retroactively made me realize how horrible the crusades probably really looked

#

innocents being murdered in gruesome ways, all while their murderers act in a way that makes it clear they view their victims as less than human, the cries of those suffering in their hands is ignored and they keep up a attitude and demeanor that clearly indicates to you how they truly believe themselves to be on the right, despite the fact they're doing things that would horrify any sane person, by killing, mauling and torturing people who a few days ago where simply living their lives

solar wharf
#

its just the fact that no one really saw a cutscene or anything of yharim's army

#

doing anything

#

so when u say

#

"he killed"

pliant ruin
#

honestly it's the type of thing where you know it's horrible but like

#

you don't realize how horrible it is till you see it

solar wharf
#

people just think it isnt as bad

#

due to how normalized killing is

#

in entertainment media

pliant ruin
#

playing limbus company and having basically a entire story arc that revolves around a fanatic group that is commiting genocide on innocents because they see them as ''heretics'' for no good reason and seeing how absolutely horrifying it is to the point the game made me actually hate the mfs who were doing it

#

it really puts into perspective how scary this shit is

#

it's really hard for me to actively hate a fictional character 😭

solar wharf
#

i hate fictional characters that are bad for the sake of being bad

#

i despise that shitty type of writing if its done bad

pliant ruin
#

i'll correct, myself, actually

#

when i hate a character its usually cuz i think they're shittily written

#

it's really rare for me to hate a character

#

who i acnowledge is not bad from a writing perspective and is actually well written

solar wharf
#

oh

#

ye thats fair

pliant ruin
#

play limbus company btw genuinely best narrative i've seen on like anything since i wached madoka magica. or not it's your call i just think it's a really cool game

solar wharf
#

i think that applies in general? or maybe im just hanging out with people who believe that too

#

i havent seen someone hate on a well written character

pliant ruin
solar wharf
pliant ruin
#

but when i hate a character i acnowledge is well written

solar wharf
#

i might check it out

pliant ruin
#

it's because that motherfucker is so vile and hateable that even though they're just pixels on a screen they genuinely manage to make me angry to the point i see them and go KILL THAT GUY

south relic
#

I never thought I would hear the name LimbusCompany here.
I'm just a little glad to hear it.

solar wharf
#

she talks about it multiple times, i just never bothered to search up what it is

pliant ruin
#

by the way i have played... terraria, ultrakill, don't starve, a hat in time, risk of rain...

#

you know just. alot of well acclaimed indie games.

#

so like. its good. really good.

#

1 bad thing is the tutorial kind of sux so i recommend looking up a youtube guide if u actually get into it

solar wharf
#

will see, i have nothing to play after i finish my finals

#

so i would probably check it out after that

elder trench
#

somebody please make a whole lore video

jaunty wraith
#

Honestly probably best to wait for full lore

#

There's still lots to add, mainly vanilla bestiary entries

solar wharf
#

ye, lore videos would bound to be outdated

buoyant inlet
#

well, not really outdated, more so incomplete

random mulch
#

what if instead of just advanced armor yharim went full mech suit

hoary berry
#

technological terror yharim

random mulch
#

if i had to choose i'd imagine yharim's design to be more of a very mechanical exoskeleton with knight-looking auric plating on top

spring helm
#

give us concept art orios

real silo
#

Every artist must make their own yharsona

random mulch
#

most "complete" one i've made

#

though i'll probably try and redo it from the ground up when i have the time, it's a bit of a clusterfuck

real silo
#

thumby

spring helm
#

that looks sick

#

if i had to demand something from the devs, it would be to add another upgrade to the Ark of the Cosmos post-yharim

random mulch
#

als one thing i noticed about the lilac yharim

spring helm
#

idk

#

dragons maybe

pliant ruin
#

ark of reality

random mulch
#

his torso is not actually that thick, it's just a tangent line with the arm that can make it look weird

pliant ruin
#

dragons maybe could work

#

but it dosen't feel as grand

#

even if it thematically fits

spring helm
random mulch
#

the reference image should get redrawn cause it has some issues that are not related to the design itself that kinda drags it down

spring helm
mighty zenith
#

Ark of the Pantheons

#

i like the word pantheon ok

random mulch
#

(though it's not like the previous designs were perfect either)

mighty zenith
#

talon feet

random mulch
#

you could fit a fucking paperclip around his waist

spring helm
random mulch
#

i think i narrowed down one of my larger complaints of the lilac yharim to his armor looking too much like a bunch of auric pieces cobbled together rather than a single coherent piece of armor

mighty zenith
#

also the

really small head

random mulch
#

the this

mighty zenith
#

yea i can def see that

random mulch
#

also idk how to describe it but his lower body looks too... "tactical"

spring helm
#

on one hand, yeah it's kinda wierd to see so many gaps in the auric plating
on the other hand, it would be quite boring if his armour was just 90% the same yellow colour

#

i don't really know a good comprimise for that

mighty zenith
#

there's really two ways you can go

#

way more yellow with a ton of lines and overcomplications

#

and less yellow with a more diverse look that can be too disconnected from itself

plucky spruce
random mulch
#

vital areas like the head, upper torso, forearms and legs being protected with less or no auric in other places

spring helm
#

now that it's known that yharim's got exo tech in his armour, i'd like to see rgb lights outlining some of his armour like other exo tech

random mulch
#

exo tech's whole aesthetic is rainbow on gray

plucky spruce
#

i know the perfect video to find that image

random mulch
#

idk if that would mesh well with yellow, red and blue

spring helm
#

it could work on his abdominal area rn

#

since that's mostly gray

#

though that would still be stretching it

random mulch
#

it'd look really out of place tbh

plucky spruce
#

think twice before interfering with my plans

spring helm
#

holy shit

hoary berry
#

the only way i can imagine the rainbow of exotech fitting in is maybe a glow emanating from the gaps in between the shoulder plates during certain attacks

wheat walrus
spring helm
#

trans ally omni

plucky spruce
random mulch
#

i've always loved how this specific piece of yhar (by asturisk) made him look

wheat walrus
hoary berry
#

looks genuinely scary

#

i need to find that animation of perma bringing scal to yharim

random mulch
#

with the auric pieces not looking mechanical in the slightest, i think it's a really nice aesthetic

#

and would also seperate his auric with ours in that regard

plucky spruce
random mulch
#

i'll probably draw inspiration from it for my own but i kinda want to take it in my own direction as well

spring helm
#

maybe yharim will have a second phase where the auric plating comes off and we see exo armour

plucky spruce
#

but

#

enhancing auric armor with exo tech is not just wearing exo tech under the auric armor

#

i think

spring helm
#

true

plucky spruce
#

that'd be kinda dumb nothoughtsheadempty

random mulch
#

his torso is just kinda short

plucky spruce
hoary berry
#

his right forearm also looks really short, though that might be the angle

#

the elbow just seems to be gone, like the fore and upper arm have merged slightly

plucky spruce
#

they took that picture without him knowing

random mulch
#

the design is solid but it has a bunch of issues that arent related to the design itself

#

one thing i might try to do for yhar is seperating his auric pieces as little as possible

#

if pieces can be combined into a single chunk, they will be

hoary berry
#

i think my only actual gripe with that design is that it looks almost strapped together

random mulch
#

ikr

pliant ruin
#

among

random mulch
#

previous designs felt more like he had to pull off some fallout power armor stuff and climb inside

#

also why does yharims armor need abs

pliant ruin
#

hes a,pmg is

#

among us

mighty zenith
random mulch
#

cause they look kinda ridiculous tbh

halcyon dust
#

The armor didn’t have abs originally it just chiseled in like a memory foam mattress

random mulch
#

helmet maybe has a little bit too much horns but i like yharim having horns instead of the previous fin things
also electricity crackling around him is dope as hell

halcyon dust
#

Similar visual of an auric bar but without having not eaten any souls

#

Just that powerful

random mulch
#

kinda getting tired of listening to rise of the jungle tyrant we need a new yharim theme

real silo
#

Kamen rider villain ass armor

fierce pagoda
#

Crackling lighting has always been sick as hell

#

Super saiyan 2 my beloved

random mulch
#

i think the biggest thing that was lost in translation to the new design is yharim looking "royal"
he looks combat ready, sure, but he doesnt look much like a ruler

real silo
#

True

#

Gotta give him a nice crown design for his helmet

buoyant inlet
#

Tbh old one also doesn't really look royal

#

It looks like a mecha suit

hoary berry
#

the old one looks more imposing i think

#

which translates to feeling a little more like a ruler?

#

not very royal in the traditional sense though

random mulch
#

intimidation puts people in line ig

hoary berry
#

which is fire in its own right

#

also i can't decide whether or not to keep victini off-centre

#

it makes it look like they're actually flying into frame, but also looks a little odd regardless

plucky spruce
#

could yharim get sent back in time by a weeping angel? nothoughtsheadempty

#

they kinda need to touch the person to send them back in time and y'know, eat their living energy or some shit i forgot the exact term

random mulch
#

so yeah hope for yhar redraw to see the design without all the non-design issues

fair token
#

what do you mean by that

random mulch
#

there are some issues with the concept art that have nothing to do with the design itself but drag it down

fair token
#

like what

random mulch
#

tangent line that makes yharim look thicker than he acctually is

fair token
#

I mean hes pretty thick

buoyant inlet
#

There are some perspective issues

#

His face mask looks smaller than its supposed to be
