(Onyx Kinsmen members perhaps? They're both ninjas)
onyx kisn
I sure do wonder what's the ninja faction in Calamity
ontx kinma
bone lee was a fallen ninja turtle obviously
die
ojnxm ksioanmsen??????
Also I just think it's really funny to
what about those
Guys named after funny rock
He cool.
"Hehe silly Bruce Lee reference"
Why isn't the shirtless version on imgur though?
The waht
huh
make a silly joke into a
semiserious concept
all of calamity lore
I remember there being a version of Statis' concept art being shirtless, since the clothing was made afterwards.
On a seperate layer.
Oh damn
All of their entries have
Part of an elite military unit in their past lives.
I SURE DO WONDER WHAT I'M TURNING THAT ELITE MILITARY UNIT INTO
I love how statis is all detailed etc. and then just has the stickman eyes š
okay yeah i sort of
no way skeletron mini
Yharim soldiers?
Not all were yharim guys though no?
You'll see
i mainly was just wondering why you'd have Prison Guards wielding Sniper Rifles
Yes...
Why not? 
Simple, paladins are heavily armoured
Seems a little overkill
draedong has the tech
prison guards have long ranged rifles irl lol
they have watch towers
Pretty cramped area for a sniper rifle.
Ok fair enough
etc.
I am not a prison loremaster
panopticon
I'm glad I got the name Chrysadia, its earlier iterations were, uh... inferior
What were its other names
Do you have any idea how many people were in the Dungeon and how strong they were?
Also now I'm caught up, I see why the chat blew up
I'm intrigued.
I wish I could share what I was writing, but too bad!
Like
Oh well, we can see the final product when itās finished
I mean assuming they're in a Prison they'd probably not be able to go on and about beating people up
Seal away their magic and take away their equipment or something
But at the asme time the
The original name for the sky people was "Alchryste" (have fun writing or pronouncing that lol)
The original name for the sky civilization was the Chrysseod Realm
Maybe itās a big thing they canāt just share easily, or they want to tease us
the skeletons literally have armor and magic and equipment
All Christ.
So i guess yharim just had a really impractical prison
When its content/lore is added ingame, sure
We must love in Jesus to love ourselves.
Even if you made so Yharim's prisoners in the Dungeon were only the people from the continent, and you assumed that he left 10% of the population of kingdoms alive, and then 5% of those were imprisoned, and then 1% of those people were exceptionally strong
That's still like
Yeah, thatās what I was talking about
š
Not all
clearly yharim didn't do given all the skeletons are wearing Armor and Weapons and Magic Staffs
Is there a lore reason thereās the plantera level dungeon souls then the post ml dungeon souls or is it just not explained
why didn't yharim just kill the people is he stupid
So i think yharim just fucking sucks at running a prison
why imprison them
maybe those were like
You woke up the angry souls.
Yes he is
Which is funny because damn we really can't keep Jesus out of Calamity and also because there weren't even Gods back then
people who followed gods which he decided to spare because he was like
"its ok we can convert them to Good"
and then he just never did it and left them to rot
Some magic is just inate to someone's body, or they can cast magic without a catalyst, or they are just fucking jacked
Plantera releases the souls within her, and that stirs the volatile Dungeon soul cauldron
why would he spare the ones who were strong enough to 1v1 godseeker knights lol
Ah ok
yeah those should probably have died
No, that is literally what happens.
"Phantom Spirit
The spirits within the Dungeon only vaguely recall their lives, and yet there is one thing each and all clearly remember, that drives them to chaos: the man responsible for locking them in these cursed walls, and his overwhelming powerā power that they have been reminded of, due to one ever growing in strength roaming their halls."
Yharim was not everywhere all the time, and sometimes those people could have vital information
And then I assume moonlord annoys all the souls
how were they even able to subdue and capture people who were that strong without killing them
Any reason you'd keep a war prisoner alive is a reason those people were kept alive
i'm still thinking about how like every single skeleton in the dungeon is like well equipped and shit
like
all of them
all of them have armor and most have weapons
Why
Armory
yharim youre fucking stupid
prison guards
not that we didnt know that
Big ass armory
Were people dropped in those spike pits as torture?
what do you mean armory they're in a Prison
And the people that were hung upside down, were those also tortured? Because that is a real torture method.
if there was a armory in a prison that is even more concerning yharim what the fuck
Yharim did suck at running a prison 
Simple, they broke the door down
you keep a war prisoner alive as a hostage or as labor. hostages aren't very important in a war of genocide and you can't keep someone that strong subdued enough to be a laborer
dude the dungeon is the greatest testament to yharim's stupidity it's not even storm weaver or plaguebringer goliath anymore what the fuck
Rebecca literally told us why they were kept alive. For information.
That would prob just get all the souls watered out the dungeon
The strongest and most powerful people also tend to be very close to their leaders.
information is the only thing that could make sense in this context, yeah
Also, there is another reason for heavy weaponry aside from escape attempts
also makes sense for the stronger individuals to hold more info
The Dungeon is the largest prison in the entire continent
It's a really fucking big target
Would not be surprised if itās the biggest in the world
Honestly at this point
The dungeon is big as hell and there's like
full on
furniture
made of bones in there
so
why didn't the dungeon people just use the dungeon guardian are they tupid
i'm inclined to believe back when it wasn't essentially a undead hellfest
it was probably like
If someone tried to invade it to break everyone free, they'd need to be prepared for a fucking war, because Yharim's army was fighting basically the entire fucking world
lowkey just a incredibly dystopian "civilization" in of itself
this was a joke
no it wasnt you're right
Don't worry
why didnt they do that
Does this imply that the furniture was made of flesh before, and it just all rotted away?
they shouldve thrown the dungeon guardian at yharim
I have an explanation for that 
no what im getting at is that they probably make did what with that they had and made furniture out of bones
T'was a joke.
I wonder if there was anything stopping them from escaping the dungeon, like did dungeon guardian just throw them back in or something or was it that the curse just made them never find the exit
Do remember the Dungeon was also the base of operations for the Dragon Cult
like if you have this huge ass dungeon, bigger than some Cities even
you know getting out isn't a option
and theres like
thousands of people in there
at that point
And yeah, its size basically made so the guards were required to live there
you just accept it and live there and it'd slowly just turn into more or less a fucked up incredibly dystopian civilization
An enemy and your top officers imprisoned. A perfect place to target.
Tl;dr the Dungeon is kind of a fucked up place 
No you aren't, you are imagining it.
was probably shit that the prisoners made within the dungeon out of whtaever they could find
like
literally collecting any scrap they can get and that sort of stuff
I wanna add structures 
I had to find the way back to the place I was before
to the dungeon?
or smth else
Good luck at that
The Dungeon could have some outpost thingies, but I mean to the world
prisoners within the dungeons hunting down slimes as a source of nourishment
and also probably eachother too lets be real
i dont dounbt those mfers were cannibals
I mean, again I think the overkill is perfectly justified because the Dungeon is arguably one of the most important places to Yharim's Crusade, they needed really good security to not fall when an entire army decided to walk there
Do you think factions were made? Would followers of Providence be treated like a certain type of person in real prisons?
It's not a matter of keeping things in, they needed things to stay out
I doubt a follower of providence would allow themselves to be alive in there
there are already different factions of skeletons in the dungeon
I doubt a follower of Providence would be allowed to live 
Fair
provifail
Providence fitting into the girlfail accusations
providence is not a girlfailure š
she killed a dragon and ascended to godhood
that's like
Do I need to post my proof again?
not a perfect ascension.
not girlfailure behavior
She needed three others to help
providence is a girlboss
^
she has girlboss energy
Wrong, that would be Commander.
providence gatekeeps and gaslights and girlbosses
Defender is gatekeep.
i'm a expert on this subject she does not have girlfailure energy in the slightest
Yeah but the profaned commander has commander in its name and commands the others
Omnicide :3
the commander commands the rest of the guardians not providence
:3
providence commands the commander
why do people like girlfailures so much I don't get it they're just losers
you're gonna tell me commanding the commander isn't girlboss behavior?
they're entertaining and relatable
and cute, also
Yes, they died
She failed to command them good enough for them to live
explode all girlfailures
She was the commander, until Providence ate the soul.
The healer was the healer, the defender was the tank, the commander was the commander.
Ok fuck you
Clearly means Providence is the DPS.
Oh
Damn, argument shit down ruthlessly
Defender obviously
Providence - Gaslight
Commander - Girlboss
Defender - Gatekeep
Healer - Girlfailure
Thank you.
knew ot
that's much more fitting
my idea for the slime god was that, a different hero fought the dragon of gluttony, and as they went to claim the soul in their weakened and bloodied state, the slime god took the opportunity to kill them and steal the soul
I was right about 2/4
Provi isn't really Gaslight but it's the best one
That is a 50% accuracy rate.
Literal gaslighting.
: )
True!
healer being a failure is kinda stereotypical
She gaslights people to be nihilistic
They donāt do good at healing
Healer was the only one that could ever fit Girlfailure anyways but that's how I always wanted to write her
Like, I'm just gonna say it but for a while now I've been wanting to
When we get to Profaned Biome
Write a book that would be the Healer Guardian's diary
Did I ever tell this chat about the dream I had?
And you'd get to see Providence's story through her eyes
More lore fuck yes
Eh, I'm saying it anyway.
This diary is probably the thing I'm the most excited to write about in the entire Mod
reb if you make me feel genuine empathy for the omnicide rocks ill hit you with the object
healer is blissfully ignoranant
One day, I dreamed that Providence's drops and Divine Geode crafts had lore in them, like Sea Remains crafts, and it told Providence's story and some other stuff about her and her guardians, including why night time enrage happens.
Simple, she didnāt pay xeroc tax so she is weaker at day
And Providence's tale is the one thing I'm the most proud of writing in the entire Cal Lore
but this isn't the time
She and the Guardians are my babies
You birthed them?
:)
Dare waht
Hm?
Make them not yuri?
lore discussion is feeling very cmt rn
this
Oh ok
Too bad, empathy beam.
xe "rock"
Rebecca, good luck writing the journal when we get to profaned biome
So you wrote the goddess of disappointing
Wha
Alright fair but she still the worse boss
By far
what.
Personal opinion.
I think you have a skill issue
I believe she is great.
old duke
No I beat her but I hate her
"me when the villain has an actual tragic and empathethic backstory which dosen't justify their heinous actions but just serves to make them more tragic as a character"
Imo thatās aureus
Providence is a decent to good boss for cal standards
thats getting changed
Beat scal hitless with traps only
ik I've seen it
aureus is literally a fun fight
i dont get it. i dotn get any of you
He is a goofball tho
Byeah
Bye
anyways lore
Providence is a story I really really really want to write
I often beat the boss before I learn how to dodge, so I beat it while confused and not knowing how to dodge well which no other boss does to me
Make her even less likable
Specially because I'm writing that via the eyes of one of her Guardians
I gotta get outta here
How have you been the least likable person I have ever met on this server in under 10 messages.
U like prov I donāt simple
I am an active member here
Please don't start bickering
Go under it when it jumps
I am not
No, I mean you just sound like an ass in general.
okay im gonna go take a shower now
Oh no
I just hate prob
Pro
Prov
Hello what did I miss
You are literally fucking bickering
I normally help people
I am clarifying
He is a goofball currently and a sick zombie like thing
In the future
Ik that but his design looks like it is like ripping off and wrangled
he's thousands of years old
I think thatās due to it being unfinished
He is a young man
no.
Yharim is older right?
no.
I thought he was 1k
Oh he is young

If not dead
that's not that young
Sarcasm
Was yharim even a millennium or something in age in old lore?
who knows
Yea from what I remember
Old lore was great tho especially with dog
No he was fucking 40
The distortion trio were apprentices or henchman of dog was genius
Dog was even more fraud in old lore
i personally digress
He had control over the trio of strong being
I like new one more I am saying the old one was also great
sentinels felt lacking
Didnt he have no control on ceaseless and signus was more or less an equal since they couldnāt kill eachother?
for signus yeag
Can Signus get a gun 
Like ceaseless was a tear in reality or something with cosmic metal holding it back iirc
storm weaver in old lore is what yharim thinks weaver is now
Signus was still henchman as dog was stronger and they made a deal
IT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY
He gets a gun in a desperation phase
Yharim: "Yeah, this is like, a small Devourer or something"
Dreadon: "Yharim is fucking stupid, how could something with this massive of a size disparity belong to the same species?"
common yharim intelligence L
Especially one that large, and like different organs and bone structure
š _ _
Are draedron and yharim rivals, friends or neutral
frenemies
Yharim is one of those mums that say "I know what's best for you".
they're divorced
Yeah, basically 
Is this agreeing with what I said or what Vanillin said?
They were āfriendsā, then āenemiesā or neutral until yharim needed better armour I think
Can Signus have a gun
megh.
Whatās with the yharim x draedon I see in this discord
Pfft
Just think you beat him then suddenly he pulls out a Glock 27 and shoots at your head
Draerim is canon.
play WotG Nameless Deity of Light on GFB
you'll love what you'll see
Ik but I want Signus to have it
He looks cooler
Imagine if gfb avatar pulls out a glock aswell
signus currently [not the resprite] is a pretty borbus design
Borbus?
idk man
i guess borbus is round
and then the design and fight are pretty lacking, like it only shows that he is a mysterious dude because he's hooded, and for the longest time i thought his teeth were eyes
I don't think there's a specific story I wanna tell tbh
I guess that's just being a worldbuilder
I'd rather use a handful of stories
Short stories that can be pieced together for a grander picture?
Though I have been giving Chrysadia and adjacent lore a fine treatment since it's what I'm most familiar with
More or less
hi
You also have vetrasyl as your nickname
BONE LEE IS STATIS???!!!
Real.
whar 
Yeah, because I made the character
Bone Lee = Onyx Kinsmen = Statis
So, Statis = Bone Lee
Explode
Obviously.
Agreeable, but I find it very difficult to start.
I find writing stories themselves to be more satisfying and enjoyable
This is just my personal preference though
I can't believe Jackie Chan fought Yharim and lived
Or continue.
I enjoy both but i do have a bit of a preference for writing character arcs and such
Imo, a balance between them is best
It just feels like a lot to do.
Ultimately everyone will have their preferences but as long as you acnowledge the importance of both it's okay
I love worldbuilding so much that I invented a new power for Yharim to have based on auric soul in a The One Piece Is Real meme
Yup
guppy
Cat that goes gup
WAIT I SHARE A BIRTHDAY WITH JACKIE CHAN???
Lmao?
I really like truly dwelling into a character's psychology, figuring out why they do things and what lead to them to do said things, and discovering any possible allusions through symbolism or simply the writing itself to elements present in real life
need to know how devourer functions on a biological level...
Welcome back Jackie
Why do I say that like he died lmao
My favorite medias are those that i can spend like 2 years thinking about and still figuring out new things about the story and characters i just hadn't thought of before
Hildr grew up in ??? with her mother. One evening, when Hildr was a child, she and her mother were discussing futures and dreams. Her mother had mentioned that she used to dream about being a soldier, but due to ???'s laws, was not allowed to train as one. Hildr was immediately fascinated, and wanted to follow her mother's dream. During the day, when Hildr's mother was working, she would often sneak out the house and into the training barracks to watch the soldiers train from afar, and imitate their moves.
I am currently backstoring. (Not done yet)
What do you think guys, gals, and all the other lovely people? I kinda made it so auric souls had a sort of gravity to them.
Does the Devourer need oxygen? Does the distortion even have oxygen? How do the devourers eyes work? How does the devourer fly? What chemicals does his body consist of?
I should probably put a comma between āDragonā and āYharimā
yes.
Souls having gravity? Seems impractical to do on people, you're just weighing them down for no reason. :(
I jest.
Or something I was at church when I wrote that
For the first and second
I don't think he does since i doubt the distortion has oxygen + I cannot reasonably for the life of me picture the Devourer drowning
I like to think the way the distortion works is just so completely different from our own world that things just sort of Happen
how tf did desert scourge NOT find the sunken sea which is like directly under his home
He did
He just didn't go to it
because he has no reason to
it's not its natural habitat
fair enough i guess
it already is fine in the underground desert
Certainly strange but fitting for the distortion
it's not like it's suffering
his upcoming design says otherwise
The Desert Scourge is thriving in the underground desert due to an abudance of food + lack of any predators large enough to act as competition
What do you mean
that is... what?
explain
hes getting a resprite
all the previous designs had him like
Dried up and basically mummified
This is the only one that is not that
my eyes are weak to primordial light levels changing at quick intervals
and yet i'm not blinded
The Underground Desert used to be Sea, which is why Scourge looks like it does
Calling Xeroc right now to rapidly turn on and off the Sun.
draedon could just...destory the planet if he wanted right?

yes
he can
He obviously wouldn't
DS lived in the shallower segments of the sunken seas
but like
which have now been turned into the timeless shores
No. End life.
atleast afaik
DS also wasn't a full-time aquatic creature
Which is vastly different from destroying the planet.
it could enter the surface desert
Okay well
Nothing has been said about it going to the surface desert
I personally
don't think it would
atleast not until
yknow
the sea got incinerated
But it could go on land yeah
was it ever desert on top
Yeah
The surface desert was always a desert
Its only evidence of going to the Surface for something is Post Incineration. (When it fights you)
And some chunks of the underground desert were also still present there before
Isn't there a layer of just sand between Surface and Underground Desert?
Yharim every day after waking up
mechanically speaking
Yharim when usurped light:
they should add another level of providence for when it's a solar eclipse
mix of sun and moon 
I think DS would spend most of its time swimming and would hunt underwater but would go on land from time to time, perhaps to bask in the heat of the underground desert
since it is a cold blooded animal after all
are desert nuisances like.... desert scourge babies or sum?
That moment when Providence has no ties to either sun or moon
Desert Nuisances (the one ingame currently) are juvenile/subadult scourges
You missed a ~
There'll be a smaller variant in the sunken sea update taht is a regular enemy
That is an actual baby/hatchling
finally got a small piece of lore correct for once in my god forsaken life
There, 1.4 Desert
I've probably asked this before but will there ever be an explanation for nightime prov
There is one, but I don't think it'll be published? It might be inferred
oh huh
it doesnt really make sense tbh
i kinda miss the desert pit, but new lore conflicts with it sorta, so it's not applicable
Hi.
Anyway, the Underground Desert was water, and the layer of sand and surface was always desert.
Let's just say she doesn't feel very happy at night
too peaceful?
One Piece.
Nope
Night reminds her of something?
If anything, she wants absolute peace
ok but actually why does nighttime providence happen
true
okay here's a question that I'm curious of you can answer
do gods sleep?
do they need it?
i mean...
The mind needs rest to properly function.
they dont need it but i think they do it when they wanna ig?
I don't think they need it, but if they want to, I don't think anything stops them
gotcha
Sleep deprivation is not a good combat technique.
God of Sleep trust

oh?
Dragon of Sloth -> God of Dreams.
I'm excited to learn about the Blood God eventually
whenever and however that's given out
There is actually a Dragon of Dreams, in an addon
There is also a entirely unrelated Dragon of Dreams in a fangame which added their Dragon of Dreams not knowing there was an Addon with a Dragon of Dreams and now a developer for said fangame is coping because she didn't know there was a addon that added a Dragon of Dreams
whar.
from what i heard, the true final boss according to the lore which is probably VERY far away from coming out is like yharim or sum?
yes
yharim is the final boss
xeroc/noxus are postgame superbosses that may or may not come
probably gonna take ages for that sadly
I give yharim half a decade to be added, hell probably longer
I don't mind waiting though
the devs will def cook, i mean, hes the real final boss so he has to be unique and special in a way
I think doing all the polishing and overhauls before adding the final boss makes sense
makes his addition feel more, yknow, final
they should make calamitas shorter
whaig
shes already really short why do you want to do that to her
because it would be funny
calamitas is fine as it is
she is one pixel lower due to bug rn already
bully
4'11 cal please
has she not went through enough torment already
I want to pick her up like cat.
there are like 4 statis acessories but 0 braelor acessories
she's already short there's no reason to not make it shorter
this is so sad
especially comparing to the old sprite, yk, the giant mech eye guy?
iirc the statis summon one ideally was going to be renamed to be onyx kinsmen rather than statis himself
at least that's what a dev said they wanted to do
I want to do this to Calamitas after the fight, and just show her to her father.
statis's Cool Ass Hat
I think cause statis himself isn't at all a summoner in any way
and i was like mmh ooh burger
statis' void sash
new vanity item that statis gives you after you complete his final quest and kill signus
it's a Cool Ass Hat
Statis void sash is such a cool name for an item
it dosen't do anything
"Permafrost, I have come with your depressed daughter."
invisible hat
statis' ninja belt
witch gets beaten up by idiot with the power of a god.
we are better than [most] gods
thinking of scal makes me wonder
Should I kill my OC's mother for the backstory?
shortlamitas
is there a reason shes still called SUPREME witch calamitas
shonen anime her
that one
therock
strongest witch !
what even classifies as a witch
Her mother is already single, it would feel mean to just leave a child alone.
magic
why did you ask then
probably the hex part
I don't know...
magic user who constructs their own spells? ithink?
whoever made the calamitas clone had NO idea of what S. calamitas even looked like
probably?
me when old sprite.
also draedong made it
its just funny to think about
Calamitas Clone's sprite is much older than Supreme Witch, Calamitas' one.
calclone is meant to just be a Person as far as we're concerned it seems unless something has changed
chat, show the old calamitas sprite
shes not menat to be an Eyeball Demon
eyeball calamitas
eyelamitas
eye of lamitas
retinazer but red.
Witch, mage, wizard, etc etc are pretty much the same thing, the only difference imo are differences in their areas of expertise, but like
Machine housing a person, since Yharim talks as if he only saw a machine.
draedon when he makes supreme mech, Kronos:
When giving titles like Archmage, everything is considered
it would make more sense for scal to be renamed to Brimstone Witch, Calamitas (since that's her most common title)
Yes, but we kept Supreme Witch Calamitas so SCal still makes sense
Rebecca, should I kill my OC's mother? For the backstory, of course.
I mean thinking along the lines of Doctor Strange, the sorcerer supreme is the 'strongest' sorcerer, more or less
it has come to my attention that perhaps my 1000 word joke is too long for people to read and enjoy at their leisure
so strongest witch makes sense
Permafrost isn't just "the best guy who is specifically good at this branch of magic"
No, he is good at magic
Period
He is good at the magic.
Good magic.
The same goes for SCal
She is called a Witch, but the "Supreme" part is just because yeah
True!
who is more powerful? a giant cosmic worm which can consume GODS or.... shortie witch gurl.
Mage = Specializes in a certain field of magic (Dosen't mean they exclusively can use that field)
Archmage = Really powerful mage
Wizard = Generalist mage, might not be as strong as a Mage within any given field
Archwizard = Archmage but for Wizards
Witch = Mage that utilizes of forbidden magicks such as necromancy
Archwitch = You Know
Supreme Witch = Strongest known witch
I'm tired of everyone acting like Calamitas can't do advanced levels of magic.
summoning fire skulls is impressive enough for me.
She creates Cryogen, Sepulchre and necromanced her Brothers.
She is the strongest sorcerer in the entire fucking world
Unless you're playing Mage
lmao
lel
using magic to destroy magic.
scal enjoyers (me) when yharim kills her in the final boss fight
ARCHmage to me implies he's as good in several branches of magic as someone who is specialized is in one
like an archscientist would be someone skilled in physics, biology, chemistry, and psychology
something along those lines at least
Magic. All of them.
Yeah, that's also how I view it
Permafrost may not be the strongest mage, but he's like
By far and wide the most skilled and versatile of them all
Calamitas not being immune to silence when I inflict it and suddenly win the fight:
This would be really funny.
Inflicting Silenced on Calamitas instantly ends the fight.
Sorry she has Nazar equipped :/
Dang.
that is a based answer tbh
i think she had an ankh shield actually
What about using Cursed?
since she also has kb immunity
Damn it.
apart from gameplay reasons, is there a lore reason why none of the bosses are good at regening like the terrarian
or is the terrarian just a freak
imagine if it did the same thing as if you butchered her ("go to hell"-Scal)
No.
got removed
So scuffed DnD analogy
An average wizard would be able to cast level 7 spells of their specialized school of magic and on average level 5 in other fields.
Permafrost would be casting level 7 in every field except his specialty, which is level 9.
I am contemplating killing a child's only parent.
Nobody can match the Terrarianās freak
(So I can create their villain? hero? backstory)
since when was the terrarian freaky?
thats evil but... go ahead
This person went from throwing bricks at slimes to killing gods in less than a month
20 fargo millennia ago
the cursed spell was released upon the world
I shudder at even uttering its foul name
I think itās really funny how horribly low the terrarianās hp is
i mean, with no life crystals and shit, yeah...
I wonder when in the Calamity world the printing press was invented.
idk
Maybe if I summon one of the lore writers, I will get an answer.
One Piece.
One Piece.
One Piece.
Now, we wait.
ONE PIECE
The... One Piece?
btw if you think about it, revengeance- dog has a extremely weak jaw if you consider the fact he can devour gods.
i mean the terrarian has awful hp already
getting reworked.
yeah but still
DoG
dog.
They meant in terms of damage, not sprite.
He isn't.
One Piece
Things are just awfully scaled in Terraria, so that enemies have to have way high HP and way low damage.
low damage?
The terrarian horrifically outclasses enemies in defense
Comparatively, yeah
bruh my ass gets one shot by slimes in hardmode
Like moon lord would take quite a bit to kill skeletron
that's true
The terrarianās weapons are jacked up like nobodyās business
So uh... I've read the soul thing that you pick up when you kill bosses and... From who's perspective is it ? Because theres the Exo-Mech master who has those on screens and all, theres Calamitas who is mentioned multiple time, but who is the one describing us the story of the bosses ?
Yharim
So theres the Witch, the Scientist Exo... But who is Yharim. I'm lost in all this story <<
the guy talking to you through the whispers
I mean yea, I figure, but who is he in the fall of this kingdom/world/story
He's kind of the guy the mod revolves around, many of the bosses you fight later on are involved with him, directly or indirectly.
Essentially, 100 years ago he started a worldwide crusade against the gods. A bunch of important people were part of his army. Permafrost the Archmage, Supreme Witch Calamitas, the Devourer of Gods, Yharon, Draedon
I see I see, that starts to add up
He was mostly successful, as most of the gods are now dead
but there are some still around
Empress and ML I suppose ? With the goddess of nature in the depth
no those aren't gods
he specifies specifically which of the bosses you fight are gods
Slime God and Providence
Not yet at Providence
oh my bad
Only knew of Slime God
Oh its alright, I know its existence, the Profaned God
if I recall
goddess but yeah
Interesting interesting
Yharim's not in the game yet though
the devs want to wait until everything else is finished before adding him
The mod is
just in time.
really far from over, actually
^
probably will take... idk, half a decade or something š
O hope so. If the boss keep getting more interesting like that. The story is so much more rich than vanilla terraria while still taking bits from it
right now the main development being done is reworking outdated elements of the mod
as seen by the upcoming sunken sea rework + several biome reworks coming futurely, aswell as boss reworks
wdym <<
you'll find out later
I mean it is still fairly peacefull all things considered
Even the rework isn't adding many hostile creatures
Would love to make my base there, if it wasn't for how hard it would be with all the water
just repurpose the bio-centre lab in it
Idk how to destroy the turrets.
And also to be fair it was always "Sunken" it just got ... Errr... Sunkier, i guess
Pickaxe :p
just mine them normally
yeag
just mine em
it only takes a bit
I tried and it didn't work, weird
Ill try again. I wondered why the research center were so hard to get by
Sadge. The effects are so clean
Basically, everything outside the core mod and the music mod is not canon
Though of course, Catalyst lore is canon to Catalyst, for example
I'm not familiar with the side mods, I'm afraid
I'm new to the game in general tbh. I have started playiong opnly 2 years ago and haven't even beaten ML in Normal.
Now I'm just vbibing on Revergeance.
Understandable :p
I hope you're having fun!
speaking of catalyst, what are your thoughts on the addon's Goozma?
personally i am just tickled at the thought that slimes can just generate their own auric soul when you get enough of them together
Hunt of the Old God?
Goozma is Hunt of the Old God
what a calamitous mistake
I MESSED IT UP TWICE 
I LOVE it. I never wanted to collect waifus more than in Terraria.
ermmm
hm
those are getting changed
I'm a huge fan of Elementals
they are still waifus
Collecting vaguely humanoid Elemental is enough for me
and more of the anahita direction for the base form
It is actually the thing I like the most
in the words of a voice in some bird's head
BEHOLD THE PERFECT WOMAN
rose stone
thats the rose stone
this is the rose stone elemental
the boss will be different
It will ? Damn I can't wait to see it
Hi Is there any version of calamity mod for the version v2024.7.3.2
this
More stable ?
anahita is water elemental
you kinda scatter the elementals into a bajillion pieces when you beat them
but it's unique enough where it looks naturally occuring
they're immortal
they just don't want to work with you
hey i said beat, not kill
fair enough
Like I said, the elements (mostly the 4 or 6 element if you include dark and light) is my most favorite theme in any game. And I feel like its so well represented in Calamity so I'll still hold onto the 5 guardian that float around me
yeah i keep them around too
most elemental designs as of now are rather empty
It's something I wouldn't include in the main mod for sure, but I quite like the lore
Slimes are the perfect beings for doing such thing, since they exist pretty much everywhere and can absorb matter and energy; of all living creatures, they are basically the only ones who can truly bring the essence of the world together
And the coalescence of slimes forging an Auric soul has a really neat message about what we can accomplish when we are together
sick
I mean, wouldn't slime become a hive mind at some point ?
More or less? I think that's kinda Goozma's case
It isn't for Slime God's case because he isn't a coalescence
i thought of it more as similar to Black Sperm in One Punch Man where there is a battle of wills during the merger and the superior slime consumes the mind of the others
like a normal slime is not getting an auric soul
It's technically a slime, but not just a slime
More like something that decided to be a slime ?
the goober
Slime God is, as the name implies, a God
Who takes the form of a pretty cool slime
It didn't choose to be like that, but it is
'boutta make a slime chapter for my calamity fic
call that shit "The Ultimate Lifeform"
i assume that the material is like a hardened type of gel
it doesn't seem to be normal gel
since it drops purified gel
Is there plan to add more powerful Whip ?
summoner rebalance in SSO
SSO ?
this is the real deal gel
Sunken Sea Overhaul
Nice
divine gel
Dungeon master?? 
what?
Yes, Dungeon Master
the great summoner rebalance of SSO
and some more whips after iirc
Can someone help me with queen slime
The only thing I can see I don't like is how her bottom doesn't like like stony petals of a flower anymore.
maybe make a sugg, idk
In the main mod, Auric souls will remain as permanently lost
Like the past they belong to, nothing can really bring them back
But realistically, they don't need to be brought back
The past is gone, the future is yet to come, and the present is an opportunity
An opportunity to make the world a better place, unbound from the past's perceived idyll and the passive overreliance on the future
Despite the tragedies and losses
that was kind of the message if the rock that xeroc gives right?
Amen
will we learn more of the "World Soul" in future updates?
is Calamity refering the Calamity that's to come or the Calamity of the past
all we know is its end with the auric souls being implied fragments
it's obviously referring to the main character
Yharim
duh hurr story of calamity i guess
Calamity is really a story about how things build themselves together after they crumble
And how fixating on the past can be like tearing down any wall people try to build in the present
Not really, it's intentionally left vague
Though it still has enough substance to speculate a pretty solid theory on how things happened
This is unrelated but
What are the limits to the elementals' control over their respective domains?
yeah i can see that
could anahita waterbend the blood out of you
it's not really important enough to the story where we need to know everything about it
The Rock explores Xeroc's desire to make the glory of the past endure
Though they're not as fanatical as Yharim, who relentlessly chases a past which was long gone by the time he was born
We know Brimstone is as powerful as Calamitas when she was younger
scal presumably somehow absorbed brimmy's powers
although we should wait till crags overhaul
Intentionally left vague so it can be interpreted in different ways
"What's the titular Calamity?" well, pick one 
for more info about the event
wait really?
guess i misread, i interpreted it as Xeroc pondering on the consequences of the stagnation of the past, and how worrying for the future only clouds the present
that's what i thought
but it also makes sense that he wants to uphold the memory of the era when he arose
Xeroc wished to make the past (well, his present) last, constantly takes actions in the present to further his plan, while keeping a watchful eye on the future
since the dragons might've started to disappear at this time
So their tie to the past has grown to be thin
ok yeah i can see that
Especially since he wasn't super involved for all this time with the events of the Deific Era
On the topic of new info
We are working on rewriting a handful of vanilla Bestiary entries that contradict Cal lore or could instead have better information
For example, mentioning how Wyverns are draconic offshoots and weren't released with the "ancient spirits"
So Sunken Sea Overhaul might have that, on top of all the Ilmeris stuff
We still need to vote on the Vanilla Bestiary matter
rebecca showed a wip of EoC entry
well i assume a wip
yeah but it's one thing two write the entries, it's another to actually implement them in game
since it's so short
what was the inspiration for Ilmeris
Right now, it's 63 entries long
