solar wharf
#

now im jealous, give this shit to every class

spring helm
#

cool

solar wharf
#

because it no longer uses shadowspec

#

shadowspec in its entirety is not canon

spring helm
#

that's what i'm saying

languid badge
#

No not that kind of why

spring helm
#

^

languid badge
#

Like why make it cannon

solar wharf
#

why not?

#

its a cool weapon

languid badge
#

Fair

solar wharf
#

would also mean we might be able to clash with yharim directly

spring helm
#

maybe the devs wanted to give melee another miracle weapon

solar wharf
#

and didnt wanna retier it to post exos?

#

ig that would explain it

languid badge
#

This is still post scal though

solar wharf
#

ye but if they retiered it

#

to post exos

#

they would need to nerf the shit out of it

#

which would be annoying to do

languid badge
#

Wouldn’t be the first time

solar wharf
#

true

spring helm
#

i will say it again

languid badge
#

Nor the last I imagine

spring helm
#

there better be an upgrade to the Ark of the Cosmos for post-yharim

#

i want to beat noxus and xeroc with the weapon line that's been with us since the start

languid badge
#

Isn’t post yharim just gonna be shadowspec stuff

spring helm
#

ark of the shadows

solar wharf
#

by the time yharim comes, i assume they are gonna add more of combination between ashes of annihlation and miracle matter

languid badge
#

Or hive mind, ig

solar wharf
#

which would be actually canon

#

we need a weapon like this for every class

#

that would be so cool

spring helm
#

combine iredescent excalibur, aotc, and exoblade

#

the End of Primordial Light

vocal snow
#

primordial darkness imbued with horrors of the abyss

languid badge
languid badge
#

(Better than zero)

spring helm
#

(everything else deals 0)

#

that would be such a dumb gimmick now that i think about it

#

each class gets 1 end-game weapon

#

you have to merge all the others together

#

only those can do damage to xeroc

humble fog
#

They might think their favorite weapon has a cool new upgrade later when in reality 90% of them would just become the same shit

spring helm
#

true

golden oasis
#

is providence being stronger at night explained?

spring helm
#

Not yet

golden oasis
#

WILL it be explained in the future?

jaunty wraith
#

She wants to burn the world to ash, which is arson

#

Arson is committed commonly at night

woeful patio
scenic olive
#

Flames

#

Burn bright at night

woeful patio
#

Use rogue class full stealth to commit arson

#

You wil not get caught at least

stark basalt
#

popcorn you mad genius

vocal snow
#

listen when permafrost spits knowledge

#

☝️

jaunty wraith
#

If that's the case then why doesn't SCal get a massive magic boost during night

spring helm
#

do you not see the filter she puts on?

#

she makes it night when we fight

#

omni powerscale that feat rn that must be multiverse+ or something

jaunty wraith
#

It's more of jsut a black void then night

vocal snow
#

she uses cosmolight to skip day

jaunty wraith
#

That night increasing magic does explain why you can only fight Calamitas Clone at night

stark basalt
#

nah cuz scal isnt that great at normal magic

#

so she has special rules or something

#

providence gets a major boost because she gets eepy

vocal snow
#

and yet she can use ice magic to the extend that she can imprison archmage

stark basalt
#

im just going off of draetalk lol

vocal snow
#

i get it

spring helm
#
 When Yharim realized that the Archmage had defected, Calamitas was ordered to hunt down and kill her former mentor. After a tearful confrontation, she decided to instead seal him away, and fake his death. The spellwork present in this living seal is inspired, and a tragic homage to every lesson Permafrost taught his student.
#

going by what the bestiary says

#

i'd say this imprisonment spell is the peak of her magical skill

stark basalt
#

oh shes definitely good at magic

#

but only like super crazy good at brimstone stuff

vocal snow
#

also necromancy

jaunty wraith
#

Does'nt using brimstone magic destroy her mentally.... or is that old lore?

vocal snow
#

it does

stark basalt
#

its in one of her things

vocal snow
#

but shes built different

stark basalt
#

i think bestiary

vocal snow
#

she doesnt care

#

her clone on the other hand DOES care

jaunty wraith
#

I'd say she's very mentally screwed up, PTSD and all

stark basalt
#

"Yet despite her great power, Calamitas prefers not to use it, as it takes a heavy toll on her psyche."

#

this is from the brimstone witch entry

jaunty wraith
#

Everyone simps for calamitas... but sleeps on calamitas clone

vocal snow
#

casually refights terrarian for the 1000th time

spring helm
#

huh

#

she's got 2 bestiary entries

stark basalt
#

brimstone witch is the npc bestiary entry

jaunty wraith
#

Yeah, one for her boss and one for her as an NPC

spring helm
#

"My magic takes a great toll on me, I cannot use it willy-nilly."

"Wanna spar again?"

"Hell yeah."

#

what does this mean lore developers?

celest kettle
vocal snow
#

like I said, shes built different

#

brimstone attunement or smth

jaunty wraith
#

Do we know what the clone even looks like?

stark basalt
#

mmm yes, disfigured clone of a witch

#

perfect

vocal snow
#

we have concept art

#

she's kinda messed up

stark basalt
#

isnt that outdated tho

spring helm
#

i think the eyeball is just leftover from old Calamity

vocal snow
#

idk

spring helm
#

because Calamitas herself used to be an eyeball too

stark basalt
#

im a fan of infernums cal clone

jaunty wraith
#

Yeah, until we get an offical design im head cannoning her to look like shadows of calamitas

vocal snow
#

she talks way too much in infernum

jaunty wraith
#

Is this the concept art you we're talking about?

vocal snow
#

yeah

stark basalt
#

okay but can she grill a cheese

vocal snow
#

Im pretty sure she can

jaunty wraith
#

I can see them redesigning her fight as a whole in the future when this design gets implemented

First phase: She's completely converted in the machine.

Second phase The mouth opens revealing her, but she still in the machine.

Third phase: The machine is destroyed and you fight the clone itself.

languid badge
stark basalt
#

that would be cool

#

imagine its not you that actually kills her

#

but the machine breaking

#

cuz isnt it like life support?

celest kettle
#

Maybe its just a cool looking mount

jaunty wraith
#

I think it's just meant to contain her, I dont think it says anything about it being life support unless I missed somthing

pliant ruin
#

See here's my issue with this idea which i've seen pop up a few times

#

there's nothing to work harmoniously with

stark basalt
#

CHEESE

pliant ruin
#

Terraria lore is so unexistent you might honestly just make things up

spring helm
#

without being limited by game progression, how quickly do you guys think CalClone would have found the Terrarian

vocal snow
#

torch ate auric soul and became god

#

holy

pliant ruin
#

there's only a very few statements for official terraria lore and they're not very interesting honestly

vocal snow
pliant ruin
#

i don't see the desire to have calamity follow terraria's story more closely when terraria's story is negligible at most and not interesting at worst

jaunty wraith
#

Terraria lore is like minecraft lore... It's not meant to be taken seriously

real silo
#

(it's scrapped)

jaunty wraith
#

I mean when a SCal redesign gets implemented in general

real silo
#

Scal isn't getting a redesign

#

Her clone will

#

But 6es

jaunty wraith
#

I meant her clone I can type right

real silo
#

let's see you type left

pliant ruin
#

Clonelamitas is in a weird spot right now

#

Nothing written seems to portray her as the abomination of a failed clone she was in previous iteration of lore

#

The absence of any mentions of her being monstruous or destructive is rather strange

#

If anything what we do have makes it seem like she's legitimately just an an clone of calamitas without her full powers

#

So i feel like that might have some implications

real silo
#

Would be interesting if they make her Not A Fucked Up creature

languid badge
real silo
#

what the fuck is euonhg

jaunty wraith
pliant ruin
#

This might be crazy to say but

spring helm
#

la creatura

languid badge
real silo
#

As chise said there's nothing to suggest her being a messed up human in any way

vocal snow
pliant ruin
#

Would it be entirely impossible for actual calamitas to be theoretically more mentally fucked than her if this theoretical Clonelamitas is Noraml scenario is true

raven terrace
vocal snow
#

the hell are ye yapping about

vocal snow
#

shes mental

jaunty wraith
#

I can fix her

pliant ruin
#

I think i can see where clonelamitas is heading

real silo
#

What the fuck are hexes...

vocal snow
#

you can't

#

sorry

#

I dont make the rules

pliant ruin
#

She was just a Normal Person but due to gaining Calamitas's magic she probably went insane

real silo
#

me when six sided polygons in my calamity boss

jaunty wraith
#

I can make her worse

pliant ruin
#

So i feel like instead of being like

#

a failed clone type thing

#

like old lore

vocal snow
#

I can put her out of misery

pliant ruin
#

she'll be instead just. calamitas but Weaker and Crazier

real silo
#

batshit insane but perfectly functional

vocal snow
#

calamitas but mindless force of destruction

pliant ruin
#

evil calamitas

#

real,,,

jaunty wraith
#

When they release her design you can expect everyone clamoring that they can fix her, mark my words

pliant ruin
#

it's okay i'll kill all of them

#

nya

real silo
#

Cheese final boss

pliant ruin
#

im powerful

stark basalt
#

i can fix her

real silo
#

Hi pwerful

stark basalt
#

im sorry

jaunty wraith
#

I'm not gonna fix her... I'm gonna do one nice thing with her to cause her to go yandere for me/s

pliant ruin
#

I'm killing all of you

stark basalt
#

ah yes

#

the aroace woman is gonna go yandere for some discord dude

#

😭

compact kindle
#

no it's important

jaunty wraith
compact kindle
#

calamity is trying to keep god a very static and no-nonsense term

#

in current lore, god = auric soul ritual performed

#

so deus, a boss being called a god, not being one, is a very large plothole

pliant ruin
#

I really don't see that as a plothole

compact kindle
#

i do

calm patio
#

yes its because its worshipped as one

pliant ruin
#

God and Deus aren't the same words

compact kindle
#

yes they are lol

#

it's literally latin for god

pliant ruin
#

In translation yes but they're not the same word

jaunty wraith
#

He's refered to as a god my yharim... whose not the most trustworthy sourse of infomation

pliant ruin
#

And even then

compact kindle
#

my point is it's needlessly convoluting an already convoluted lore piece

pliant ruin
#

it still is just a minor gripe - Which i can somewhat understand, but calling it a plot hole is a exaggeration

compact kindle
#

plothole probably wasn't the right choice

#

of wording

stark basalt
#

Gods in calamity are almost exclusively worshiped

compact kindle
#

but if they're going to be changing vanilla bestiary entries rather than trying to work with what already exists

pliant ruin
#

Like yeah people are probably gonna be a little confused because ''wait why is the astrum deus not a god" but it can be explained incredibly easily

compact kindle
#

the least they can do is fix the problems they themselves have got

pliant ruin
#

moment

jaunty wraith
#

No story or worldbuilding is free of holes you can poke

pliant ruin
#

Of course people will not understand Deus isn't a god because nothing ingame explains it well - Because the lore is barely implemented ingame

compact kindle
pliant ruin
compact kindle
#

i made it a point to describe 'tell and not show' being a giant issue here

pliant ruin
#

There is little to nothing to work with in terms of lore with terraria and i genuinely cannot understand why it's the one thing people who dislike the narrative seem to insist on being a negative

#

As i said before - Terraria lore is negligible at best, and incredibly uninteresting at worst

jaunty wraith
compact kindle
#

but it's kind of lame to change the few good pieces because they didn't wanna work with them

pliant ruin
#

I think it changes basically nothing by not working with it

#

How is it lame though

compact kindle
#

i enjoy the presentation of the evils in the basegame

#

it feels incredibly reductive to just go 'god corpse' because the crimson was already that

#

making all three of them the same is boring

stark basalt
#

the world evils in base game were meant to be alive

real silo
#

what was corruption in vanillore

#

And hallowed

jaunty wraith
#

Somthing with cthulhu

stark basalt
#

its almost fitting that it was reworked to keep that aspect and make it more in line with the story that calamity wished to tell

pliant ruin
real silo
#

Asking because I genuinely forgor

pliant ruin
#

I can understand the gripe with Crimson/Corruption being basically the same

#

but

compact kindle
#

if memory serves it's like, a viral infection? and then the hallow is an extreme overcorrection in the exact opposite direction

pliant ruin
#

it can still easily be developed further

compact kindle
#

it's like chemotherapy in which it is VERY nondiscriminatory in what it attacks

pliant ruin
#

What if Crimson and Corruption came from different types of ''evil" - Perhaps one was more so the openly malicious, brutal and violent kind

compact kindle
#

in an attempt to 'fix' the problems with the world

pliant ruin
#

The other could've been the more manipulating, elusive type

spring helm
jaunty wraith
#

Corruption and crimson being the same is probablt because you normally are supposed to have one or the other in your world

compact kindle
#

it's more interesting

spring helm
#

yeah i was just confirming what you said

pliant ruin
#

To me almost always when i see critique of calamity lore it feels like nothing but a bias for vanilla terraria lore and a ... reverse bias for calamity lore

compact kindle
#

they aren't the same at all, cal just reductively makes them all cut from the exact same cloth

#

as is

pliant ruin
#

But is that a problem

real silo
#

Ok maybe not a problem

stark basalt
#

vanilla terraria tells a story of a living world

pliant ruin
#

The one major critique i see pop up i agree with wholeheartedly is

#

the rpesentation isn't good

stark basalt
#

calamity does not

pliant ruin
#

presentation*

stark basalt
#

it focuses on its characters

pliant ruin
#

but that's... because the mod is being developed

compact kindle
pliant ruin
compact kindle
#

these are halves

#

you can tell a character story but not fleshing out the world hurts it

pliant ruin
#

There are three pages of lore for all of terraria and none of it is in the actual game

#

This isn't a story, it's fan service

stark basalt
#

i mean, the world is fleshed out in a different way

spring helm
#

vanilla lore is completely optional and pretty much not expressed in the game at all

compact kindle
stark basalt
#

calamity builds its settings

compact kindle
#

but yeah

stark basalt
#

and vanilla builds...

pliant ruin
#

???

stark basalt
#

We honestly have to wait for calamity to keep developing

pliant ruin
#

I do think some areas could use some more development

compact kindle
#

give it the time it needs

stark basalt
#

Sunken sea will add a lot more for illmeris

#

I’m expecting more form Azafure

pliant ruin
#

But calamity literally has a significant amount of worldbuilding unrelated to the main plot

stark basalt
#

The distortion will be big

compact kindle
#

there's literally just too much

stark basalt
#

The sky city

#

It will feel like a lived in world

pliant ruin
compact kindle
#

not

#

too much worldbuilding

#

i mean too much CONTENT

#

it can't be focused on properly

pliant ruin
#

It went from the world is not fleshed out to the world is too fleshed out?

real silo
#

Big mod

stark basalt
#

Big mod big content

compact kindle
#

you are completely misreading my point

pliant ruin
stark basalt
#

It’s not gonna be simplistic like vanilla

compact kindle
# pliant ruin Can you give any examples

well, for starters, vernal pass sure is A Location in the game that exists for reasons that exist, but that one's too new so if you want a more proper example then probably ironically the abyss, because there is almost nothing communicated about it to the player and the lore about it pretty much begins and ends at 'silva get thrown in trench and fill with life, anahita was there, wyrm is a guy i guess'

#

i have at least some confidence we'll learn about it more in the ssea update

pliant ruin
#

Okay, so, i will say this:
The origin of the abyss isn't exactly explained

stark basalt
#

wait what

compact kindle
#

so i'm not judging itTHAT harshly

pliant ruin
#

However, other than that, i do'nt see any issues

real silo
#

What is there to explain about deep trench

stark basalt
#

the abyss doesnt have an origin ]

pliant ruin
#

Like - Yes, there's a deep trench with deep sea animals on it

#

Is there the need to include that in some sort of overarching narrative?

compact kindle
eager bluff
#

there isnt a whole lot to explain about the abyss itself
the explanations should be for the stuff inside the abyss, not the abyss itself

pliant ruin
#

Yes, anahita lived there, because she's a water elemental

#

who has domain over water

compact kindle
#

yes, i KNOW that

languid badge
#

No way! (This implies that the area the game takes place on is near a techtonic plate)

compact kindle
#

you're acting like i don't understand that

pliant ruin
#

I genuinely don't understand where you're getting at though

stark basalt
#

draedon talks about the abyss

pliant ruin
#

Like, what's the problem with the abyss

#

Is it because it dosen't fit in the main narrative?

#

Nothing about it needs to be explained more than it already was

#

(Except arguably the origin of it given it's seemingly unnatural ocurrence)

eager bluff
stark basalt
#

i mean, i think it could use more lore

compact kindle
#

no, the main narrative is a different can of worms, it just feels underbaked
i'd love to learn more about how stuff developed down there, ssea has plenty of that

real silo
#

I imagine azafure update will have smth about that

stark basalt
#

we'd need to learn more about silva then

compact kindle
#

IT being not the main narrative

#

for clarity

#

since i know i might be misunderstood on that

pliant ruin
#

Okay so, the issue is that some things in the mod need more worldbuilding?

compact kindle
eager bluff
pliant ruin
#

Or atleast more detailed worldbuilding

compact kindle
#

worldbuilding especially needs some tuning up cuz i like the ideas in a lot of it

stark basalt
#

calamity only has like 10% of the lore in game rn

calm patio
#

yes because the mod isnt done yet

pliant ruin
#

I can actually somewhat understand that but again it's

#

because the mod. is unfinished

stark basalt
#

its still heavily in development

calm patio
#

i dunno what to tell you chief

compact kindle
#

i am aware of this???

pliant ruin
#

The worldbuilding is being added

#

There's already worldbuilding ingame, it's getting more

compact kindle
#

i don't know why you're pressing me so hard about it

stark basalt
#

we're looking into calamity like its a finished product

compact kindle
#

i acknowledge the fact it's not finished, i am watching

real silo
#

Anything anyone says can be handwaved by "unfinished mod"

vocal snow
#

and yet here we are

compact kindle
#

but i can at the very least talk about my CURRENT issues

#

they are still very legitimate even if they might be getting worked on

pliant ruin
calm patio
#

the lore writers are aware of it...

pliant ruin
#

I'll be honest i might've been a little to abrasive here but it's really annoying at this point

compact kindle
real silo
#

It would be a better use of time to talk about stuff that likely isn't changing and is already there

compact kindle
#

so i wanna give my takes on things

real silo
#

This is fair

stark basalt
#

respect for that

pliant ruin
#

Like, it's always the same set of criticisms from literally everyone and they all can be answered with "The devs know, they're working on it"

real silo
#

Indeed

eager bluff
pliant ruin
#

alternate reality where donors could onlymake vanity items

stark basalt
#

still, its better to talk about this than some of the other stuff that we often do

pliant ruin
real silo
#

alternate... alt.... me???

compact kindle
#

i have difficulties wording myself which is probably why we went in circles so long

#

maybe that's why i write such a good draedon....

vocal snow
#

yeah

#

probably

stark basalt
#

im sleep deprived

eager bluff
stark basalt
#

what

vocal snow
#

whats sad about it

real silo

most people suck at wording I have noticed

vocal snow

because it is

My ass can write, just don't ask me to write on the spot

thats why my post at the lorewriter was so long i wanted to articulate myself PROPERLY

#

and i had a lot to say

stark basalt
calm patio
#

however. i cant write for shit anyways

real silo
stark basalt
compact kindle
#

did a whole ass character study on draedon and then began crafting fake-ass communicate dialogue

one of them even got into goozmod!

calm patio
real silo

I like to pretend though

#

My ass is delusional

real silo
eager bluff

i can usually get stuff worded enough to get the vague meaning out but i also say a lot of contradictory shit with no regard for truth and falsehood

i gaslight myself

one of my posts tells only truths, the other only lies

i should write more drae but i need more addons willing to hear it i've already stuffed like four of them into remix

I love having so many ideas but nothing to do with them

Is the Mechworm Staff like a mini DoG?

real silo
#

Or just not doing anything with it

#

i have a bunch of ideas for a calamity fanfic but i can't come up with a narrative to string them all together

i think it's just a machine based on the item name

real silo
#

Everything my evil brain comes up with stays in the brain until I randomly decide to draw it

#

and then I never touch on it again

compact kindle
#

i intend to write a whole ass lore for the basegame out of boredom sooner or later

stark basalt
#

I’ve played so much calamity that it’s kinda just became how I view vanilla

#

I haven’t actually played through vanilla since playing calamity

#

I just liked it that much ig

real silo
#

Same

#

I played vanilla for one playthrough

#

And I've done like 6-7 cal/infernum playthroughs, one split pt and one thorium pt

stark basalt
#

I can’t enjoy other mods either tbh

#

I tried thorium

#

And mod of redemption

#

But they haven’t really done it for me

#

Calamity is actually just ridiculously high quality in comparison

spring helm
#

i've only done two complete playthroughs, one vanilla and one calamity

stark basalt
#

Wait popcorn why are you warned???

spring helm
#

the thing stopping me from doing more is that earlygame is kind of a slog for me

stark basalt
#

Early game is actually so bad

spring helm
#

so i rely on my friends to progess for me while i just go off and explore

stark basalt
#

It’s only really bearable cuz of the movement buff

#

Once I have some kind of boots I’m okay

spring helm
stark basalt
#

No way

#

😭😭😭

spring helm
#

i kinda stalled on my calamity fic because i'm having trouble with the worldbuilding.
Colgater gave me an idea for the Princess npc and the kingdom whe was the royal family, which was where i was going to have most of the npc's originate from.
I'm stuck unable to make a satisfying backstory for the kingdom for what i want to do with it because Rebecca said she didn't want the princess npc to be involved in any tragedy, indirectly or directly.

eager bluff
#

could do something with an economic downfall instead of like war

#

like say they ran out of their main export and the countrys finances started to tank so people had to move out to a more economically stable location

real silo
#

I could barely enjoy thorium because I had gotten so used to the stuff cal had

#

The biggest thing I noticed is the complete lack of regen stuff

#

I miss my funny regen

eager bluff
#

thorium has plenty of broken shit to make up for that

real silo
#

I'm doing mp and one of us is healer

eager bluff
#

and if you want to know: yes it does work with cal shit i watched as someone deleted yharon bordernadoes with it

spring helm
# eager bluff like say they ran out of their main export and the countrys finances started to ...

yeah so the main idea i've got so far is that the Terrarian just kinda showed up and started building on the kingdom's territory without any permits.
Eventually it would lead to the Terrarian building a town for other citizens to move in to because the capital city wasn't doing so well.
And the princess npc ends up being deputy mayor to get some practice in ruling over people before she inherits the throne.

Hey chat

compact kindle
#

they can have something decent, as a treat

compact kindle
#

except for goozmod, which is the one time i've put it into a good mod

visual kiln
#

u should write for more mods maybe

#

or things that arent mods (the greener pastures)

compact kindle
#

i usually just write cuz i want to

#

and mods give me an easy way to do that

visual kiln
#

fair ye

#

its similar with me and coding

at least one good mod appreciates what i can do :^)

What is your opinion on Permafrost? I'm under the impression that in the community he is portrayed as a wise, benevolent old man who is all about "peace and rainbows in the world", when in reality, that's not the case at all, that's just bullshit. He's clearly some sort of power-hungry sorcerer who hides behind pacifism to avoid getting his hands dirty and I don't really give a shit if he's sincere or not. There's no fucking way that he, the Tyrant's primary advisor, has not realized the scale of the atrocities they've committed throughout a span of hundred years, in which the Archmage just couldn't have not been implicated. I have a similar impression of him as I do of Yharim. When he could no longer pretend to be blind, when he had to take responsibility for his actions, when deceiving his conscience was no longer an option - the guy just took off and ran away. fucking fraud bro

#

its hating time

brisk frigate
#

Is this a new copy paste

vocal snow
#

nah, its real, trust bro

buoyant inlet
#

Perma is definitely a questionable character but he definitely is not nearly as awful as yharim

#

He probably tends to see the best in people

#

So he couldn't see the atrocities that yharim did

vocal snow
#

couldn't see and didn't want to see are two very different spectrums

#

is he like literally blind or smth? I doubt it

buoyant inlet
#

Tho yeah he was bamboozled by yharim for at max like 90 years (but probably less)

#

Well, I don't think perma was too involved into militaristic side of yharim's crusade

#

So he couldn't fully see the extent of yharim's actions

vocal snow
#

"His wisdom guided my original conquests, making much of them possible at all."

#

I personally wouldnt be so sure about it

wheat walrus
#

honestly let it be since this is actually debatable honestly

#

he's defo on the better side compared to yharim but

#

he's defo questionable as troodon said

vocal snow
#

yeah he's not as evil as Yharim, sure, buuuuuuut dude is delusional at best if you ask me. Pacifist my ass

#

doing "questionable" deeds for the greater good, huh?

#

I aint buying that shit

#

just, where is the room for "couldn't see the atrocities" in the sentence "Crusade to kill all gods"?

#

he thought that Yharim would nicely ask them to put themselves out of existence?

#

this is hilarious

#

perma is on a fraud-watch till the great lore update

#

period

real silo
#

the third (?) great lore update

#

maybe fourth

vocal snow
#

one of many, I hope

buoyant inlet
#

I imagine that yharim presented his crusade in other light to his people

real silo
#

first is The lore update, second being bestiary, third being draedate

buoyant inlet
#

Maybe something like a saving operation

#

To rescue people from the influence of evil gods

#

I imagine that him ordering to kill god worshippers wasn't as well known

vocal snow
#

yeah, sure, ordinary people would eat his words and ask for more

#

but not his primary advisor

real silo
#

I feel like he'd hear about some of the shit yharim commits from other people

vocal snow
#

he must have a wider perspective

#

if not the full picture

vocal snow
#

he doesnt like violence after all

#

kind-hearted man

graceful otter
#

yharim could be lying to put perma under the bus tbh

#

like "oh i didnt do it alone, perma also helped, blame him too!!"

vocal snow
#

Yharim doesn't put Perma's contribution in that light

#

it's more like he appreciates him

vocal snow
graceful otter
#

he isnt saying that literally, but yharims been portraying himself as a fallen hero the entire time, so he could be doing the same to perma too

vocal snow
#

then he would say some bullshit like: "Fittingly, he had a serpent's tongue. He manipulated me incessantly, driving me to awful acts."

graceful otter
#

i love how yharim blames everyone else nearly everywhere except for the polterghast situation

buoyant inlet
vocal snow
#

do not let this fact distract you from the fraudulent perma

lapis steppe
vocal snow
#

sure

#

why not

graceful otter
#

ok but like

#

yharim hasnt tried destroying every machine containing draedon

vocal snow
#

your point?

graceful otter
#

wtf did perma do that was such a threat to yharim

vocal snow
#

he wasn't a threat, perma just left yharim when things went downhill

#

and, unlike draedon, perma was someone in whom yharim actually held some expectations

#

on a personal level

#

so I imagine yharim felt like he was betrayed or smth

plucky spruce
#

also i dunno how easy it is to get rid of draedon nothoughtsheadempty

vocal snow
#

I think it's important to realize that Yharim's lies about him being manipulated or any other bullshit are not more than a implications of his cope mechanism to not delve deeper into depression. Like, Yharim acknowledges that he, in fact, has done a whole lot of terrible things and yet keeps finding excuses to not put the whole blame onto himself. My point is that he is not lying about fraudulent pacifist archmage contribution in crusade which whole point is to kill. Yharim even admits that he was wrong: "Where justice was once seen, tyranny had blinded it."

do reaper sharks have an evolutionary reason to have arms

#

or did they just go "hell yeah" and fucked it

hoary berry
#

"Using their arms for purposes from hurling colossal squids into the Abyss’ walls to crushing the heavily armored heads of eidolon wyrms, few can match their raw strength." from bestiary i think

#

also for some reason my mental image of a reaper shark has little bits of gold

#

must just be it merging with eidolon colour palette in my head

vast vault
#

so they're partly "hell yeah"

#

since they couldve just gotten better jaws

hoary berry
#

well

#

i have to assume their jaws a rather powerful too

#

having arms just gives a greater range of options

vast vault
#

colossal squids probably also evolved to counter the jaws

#

now we wait for them to adapt to the arms and we'll get reaper shark with a gun built in

I get not liking it but calamity having a more serious tone than terraria is NOT a flaw lmao

hoary berry

it's serious to the point of actually being thought-provoking, which is great

terraria doesn't go for that at all, but that doesn't mean cal can't

do you name your characters after fruit?

It's just q funny gimmick ig

hoary berry
#

also is that a leviathan from rain world in the top right

buoyant inlet
#

Yes

hoary berry
#

just whatever fits thematically

#

but i also use colours with [c/xxxxxx] for all of them

#

to help match characters to worlds and, again, to match with their themes

buoyant inlet
#

Well, those aren't names of characters, it's just for drawings

hoary berry
#

i don't necessarily mean my in-game characters either

buoyant inlet
#

I usually name Terrarians either after myself or a specific character they are

hoary berry
#

i occasionally write down random character descriptions that i think of spontaneously

#

and name them accordingly

#

but i can't draw anything good more than like once a year

#

so they just stay as a paragraph of words

eternally

solar wharf

i thought wyrms were too strong for them

buoyant inlet

Nah, bestiary directly mentions how they hunt them I'm pretty sure

seeing that tooltip just sent me down a thought bullet train

i got off at yharim vs. statis and braelor

#

still shocked by how recent that fight was

#

i had it in my head that yharim was significantly younger during that fight for some reason

solar wharf
#

do you think back in the draconic era there was some racism toward wyvern dragons

#

because they only have 4 limbs instead of 6

hoary berry
#

huh

solar wharf
#

well, assuming the average dragon had 6 limbs

#

4 legs 2 wings

#

and assuming wyverns did exist

#

2 legs 2 wings

#

do you think there was hate toward wyverns

#

well not hate but like

#

ableism ig?

hoary berry
#

i mean

#

people hate for any reason

#

but we really know nothing of the average dragon's values

#

nor what was typically viewed as normal for a dragon

#

maybe some of them had no wings at all

#

maybe others had no arms or legs

unreal rover
#

vanilla terraria has whyverns not wyverns

cold owl
#

Random question, could the dragons actually talk or only with someone they're attuned with?

Example- Yharim and Yharon

hoary berry
#

i don't think that is something we can know without dev statement

#

given that we know nothing relating to that part of a dragon (speaking)

buoyant inlet
#

Who said all of them had 6 limbs

cold owl
#

The reason I'm questioning this is because Yharon doesn't talk to us at all during his boss fight while Yharim states Yharon literally told him about the genocide of his kind.

solar wharf
buoyant inlet
#

It's implied that dragons can only speak telepathically to people they're attuned with

solar wharf
#

because i assumed the most common would be 6 limbed ones

buoyant inlet
#

And obviously to each other

graceful otter
buoyant inlet

But they can't speak to other people
