....what

cloud ibex
#

i'm using my evil mod powers to influence the dev team

magic epoch
#

mage would become less of a class and more into just a subspecies of weapons that you use for burst damage as other classes when their cds are off

languid badge
#

why did nobody tell me mods get evil powers of dev influence I would've applied if I had known (I would not have)

cloud ibex
#

should've read the fine print

#

sorry !

magic epoch
#

well

rotund shore
#

I love being evil

Who is lore and why is he being discussed

#

I guess lore is just yharim, he’s John lore

magic epoch
#

let's discuss the lore of this image

Yharim is old grampa

#

Yharim could be my great great great great godslaying grandfather

#

Dog should be British

#

Yharim should be British

#

Calamitas should be Russian

#

Maybe I should do a historical record of Azafure’s industrialization

#

@spare pier was Draedon secluded from the world until he approached Yharim?

spare pier
#

My brother in Christ he literally answered that in Draetalk

i just wanted confirmation because i might have interpreted it wrong

You're telling me 1233popcorn wasn't born in 1233

#

No that’s how many seconds old they are

#

Their birth is constantly being changed to fit 1233 seconds ago

What if the universe was created 1233 seconds ago

#

We know if Liches are a thing in Calamity?

night socket
#

For no reason in particular, what was providence like pre-ascension?

gritty kraken
#

woman

spring helm
spring helm
light linden
#

From what little we know she strikes me as somewhat similar to old Yharim

#

Very very angry and willing to crush anything in her path

night socket
#

I guess she really had a burning hatrid 😔

magic epoch
#

i hate comedy

light linden
#

Name does not check out

night socket
#

Your name strongly begs to disagree.

spring helm
#

my headcanon is that Providence was a champion of justice as a human, but slowly became more and more disillusioned during her time as a god until she decided that the death of all living things is the only solution

magic epoch
#

you don't know what i am

spring helm
#

but it's likely wrong

night socket
pliant ruin
#

It seems

#

very in line with what her narrative is actually going to b like

#

i doubt she was alwys GRRR GENOCIDE GRRR

sinful adder
#

The pristine fury tooltip seems to indicate that it may have in fact always been that

light linden
#

Random thing

#

Do we know how people became godseeker knights?

pliant ruin
#

joined yharims army and became really strong so they got promoted or smth like that i imagine

light linden
#

Were they promoted from Yharim's army or did they join at that rank?

pliant ruin
#

those who were the strongest and most devout

wheat walrus
pliant ruin
#

She's a massive nihilist, you don't just, make a character Just Evil and also a Extreme Nihilist

#

Something must have happened for her to reach that point

spring helm
#

considering Yharim had Draedon make weapons for the godseeker knights personally (still mass produced but made to suit their preferences), they were likely people that Yharim had great trust in. Therefore I believe they needed to have a lot of time in the army before they could become one. Might have required to personally know Yharim themselves, though any sufficiently powerful soldier would have attracted his attention regardless

pliant ruin
#

yeah that makes sense

sinful adder
pliant ruin
#

that's fair but u were making a statement of disagreement

pliant ruin
#

i never said that is pecifically thought she was a benevolent god ever

#

her ascencion mightve been the turning point

#

dunno tho

sinful adder
night socket
#

That is such a raw fucking quote oh my good gods

wheat walrus
#

"1:14 that piano 🔥" ahh tooltip

spare pier
# spring helm what's the tooltip?

And thus I swore to those I lost that I would do what is right, that my blaze's light would dwarf even that of Zeratros' Sun;
That one day, this cruel world would know nothing less than My perfect fury.

spring helm
#

that's awesome

magic epoch
#

capitalization of my goes kinda hard

spring helm
#

the power already went to her head

pliant ruin
#

actually yeah that like

#

basically confirms it

spare pier
#

Thank you, both of you HDfailure

#

I wrote it

pliant ruin
#

And thus i swore to those taht i lost

#

hmm yes indeed

#

also ya it goes pretty hard

real silo
#

taht

spare pier
#

Well ok Cei wrote basically the whole thing

#

And then we were like

wheat walrus
#

1:14 that sun ☀️

magic epoch
#

just in general...... writing can go so fucking hard... this def does

spare pier
#

"Wait what if every Legendary Item was a character speaking?"

#

And then I turned it into that

#

I added the capitalized "My"

wheat walrus
pliant ruin
#

That! is a pig

pliant ruin
real silo
#

a pig

#

🐽

magic epoch
# spare pier I added the capitalized "My"

and also like, afaik the, capitalization of pronouns like that are typically reserved for literal God. (usually like He or His)
i think it just adds another layer i totally fw

spare pier
#

Yeah, that's the intention

spring helm
#

like actually

real silo
#

Ok but will the other gods have capitalized pronouns

spring helm
#

maybe the more humble ones won't

real silo
#

I want one god that just speaks in capitals

pliant ruin
#

I feel like its better if its just prov

real silo
#

except when referring to themselves

pliant ruin
#

makes it feel more special + i feel like

#

basically all other gods

#

are more humble than prov

#

either that or they're ravage

spring helm
#

Providence really be Zamasu maxxing

pliant ruin
#

which isn't more humble but also not more pretentious it's just a wild fucking gorilla

spare pier
spring helm
#

we all must be inspired by something

#

even if we don't know it

spring helm
#

took me a while to realize that like half my oc's are just variations of Luffy with how focused they are on freedom and the ability to make one's own choices

frigid sage
#

The enemy ascended beyond your control

#

I’m dying gravely

And I'm feinin for more

#

Fein fein fein

the what

wheat walrus
faint plank
#

what a missery

night socket
# pliant ruin are more humble than prov

"I am the blaze of absolution, the absolute truth, and the cleasning blaze that shall purge sin from this world."

Me about to humble her with my Mythical KEVIN with all menacing modifiers for a damage test:

spring helm
#

"You may be more powerful, BUT YOU'RE STILL NOT A GOD!" Providence to the Terrarian 2 minutes before she gets turned into ore

#

anyway yeah so that tooltip basically confirms that Providence snapped when the Dragon of Flame did their thing, right?

#

i really can't trust my reading comprehension nowadays

spare pier
#

What thing?

eager bluff
#

murder

#

i assume

spare pier
#

Fair enough

spring helm
#

specifically of Providence's family/town/friends/all of the above

pliant ruin
#

dragon of flame killed her grandma

#

also my grandma

#

because who hasn't at this point

spring helm
#

how many grandmas do you have Mod. Cheese?

pliant ruin
#

Not any clearly because they're all dead

light linden
spare pier
#

Sure

real silo
#

Does a dragon of earth exist

#

Dragon of land the ultimate landlord

eager bluff
pliant ruin
#

that was absorbed by a dwarf

#

that became the dwarf god of forging

#

and kinda would look like an DND azer

#

smth like this

hoary cape
#

DND mentioned

eager bluff
#

azzer thoth

spring helm
#

🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯

#

i'm assuming the air domain fell under Vetrasyl as part of Storm

pliant ruin
#

yeah i can see that

real silo
#

Vetrasyl op

pliant ruin
#

Would mean vetra and flame dragon were probably about equal in strenght

real silo
#

Bro got cloud, lightning AND wind

frigid sage
#

Boss refights are non canon right?

spring helm
#

yes

#

except calamitas i guess

#

oh and king slime and eye of cthullu

#

those aren't unique creatures

frigid sage
#

So for a canon playthrough no dev or donor content

#

And only one fight per boss

#

Hardcore

spring helm
#

i suppose dragonfolly could be redone, though i think the one you fight is the strongest of the species

#

so maybe not

frigid sage
#

Not like you’d need to

#

But yeah that would be a hellish playthrough

spring helm
#

duke fishron is also a species too so you could do refights with those

frigid sage
#

For the sanity of the person attempting they should just do expert revengeance

spring helm
#

that is indeed the canon difficulty

frigid sage
#

It’s THE difficulty

#

It’s the only difficulty

spring helm
#

i forgot queen bee

frigid sage
#

True

#

So you can farm for some loot

#

Could the exos count?

#

Because Draedon would probably build more

spring helm
#

the exo mechs took the entire playthrough to build

frigid sage
#

Ah

spring helm
#

i think you could frame Crygon refights as you asking Permafrost to recreate it

#

since it's a construct

frigid sage
#

Yeah I guess

#

What about astrum aureus?

spring helm
#

Draedon only sent the one

#

though

#

i guess you could ask him to send more to get infected

frigid sage
#

I meant deus

spring helm
#

oh then no

frigid sage
#

What’s his lore?

spring helm
#

Astrum Deus ate an infected star and became infected itself, which caused it to throw the astral infection to the planet

#

Draedon theorizes that it is one member of an entire species

#

you beat the corruption out of it, still have no idea how that works

#

it's one of the few bosses that don't die after you fight it

light linden
#

hey uh

#

random but how old do y'all think the boomsticks and muskets are when we find them?

#

technological progression in calamity seems wacky enough where they could be 100-1000 years old tbh

mighty zenith
#

imo the boomsticks are probably pretty old

#

i headcanon that they're from remains of dead adventurers and lihzahrds found them and put them in shrines as objects they dont recognize and are scared of

#

like primal tribes

light linden
#

kinda reminds me of something I'm doing with the lihzahrds in something I'm working on

mighty zenith
#

muskets are prob similar except they're stuff eater stole from adventurers who tried to kill it

#

so they can be younger

light linden
#

where they used to be traveling merchants and stashed some of their wares in trees for later

untold oracle
#

I feel like every other shadow orb item is just some materialisation of the vile magic energy that releases once you break the orb

#

But the musket?

light linden
#

musket makes no sense to be that tbh

mighty zenith
light linden
#

same with the band of starpower

untold oracle
mighty zenith
#

eh

#

i think ball o hurt could just be a weapon too

untold oracle
#

It’s literally EVIL

#

Made from EVIL material

light linden
#

ball o hurt is made of demonite iirc

#

at least it looks like it

mighty zenith
#

yea demonite isnt exclusive to the corruption either

light linden
#

btw

mighty zenith
#

i think it could go both ways there

light linden
#

I kinda wonder if crimtane is organic in anyway

mighty zenith
#

it acts like just regular ore so idk

hoary berry
#

CHeart and SOrb stuff could be the divine essence clinging onto objects that have valuable memories attached to them (like weapons that have always protected you, trinkets you always wear, etc)
From my headcanon doc

#

I don’t remember when I came up with this but I stand by it

light linden
#

Been wondering, do we know if any of the dragons wielded weapons?

sinful adder
#

Somehow

frigid sage
gusty herald
#

Yo garbo is a mod too congrats

split mortar
#

Yeah I think all the trial mods upgraded to full mods

magic epoch
untold oracle
#

I think shadow orbs are lures placed by eow

#

You feel an extreme sense of uneasiness when near one, making you instinctively break it, which then alerts EoW of your presence

hoary berry
#

Thats interesting

pliant ruin
#

the bosses u could reasonably refight r like

#

king slime, eye of chtulhu, desert scourge, brain of chtulhu, eater of worlds, queen bee, aquatic scourge (?), duke fishron, dragonfolly (?)

#

and scal ofc

magic epoch
#

deus probably

pliant ruin
#

nah deus is

#

1 guy

magic epoch
#

has that been confirmed

pliant ruin
#

i mean it'd be pretty wacky if we had multiple deuses all conveniently being infected and conveniently going to ur planet

#

either that or if we had 1 deus that conveniently is so stupid it keeps being infected over and over

magic epoch
#

i thought the leading theory was that it was a species, probably a rare circumstance, but certainly possible

mighty zenith
pliant ruin
#

but the deus u fight is 1 individual

mighty zenith
#

yeah its a theory

pliant ruin
#

one that got infected

#

and then u free it from its infection

mighty zenith
#

but realistically theres one deus per like area in space

#

so we wouldnt encounter another one

#

and we only fight it to free it from the infection

#

fighting it again wouldnt make sense unless deus is REALLY stupd

pliant ruin
#

stipude worm keeps getting infected

#

💔

magic epoch
#

dumbass fucking worm

mighty zenith
#

shut up sans under

magic epoch
#

no thanks

untold oracle
#

The poor deus being called stupid by the lore chat despite being constantly harassed by that one annoying astral microbe that keeps spawncamping them 💔

dusk laurel
plain yew
#

why did s.cal fight terrarian

#

did yharim call for scal

pliant ruin
#

because of ptsd regarding yharim

#

no she ahtes him

plain yew
#

like what the music thingy

#

oh

pliant ruin
#

the lyrics arent canon

#

they're based of old lore

#

she saw the terrarian treading a similar path to yharim so she tried to stop us before we could become as bad as him but we end up convincing her that we good

plain yew
#

so scal just noticed terrarian

plain yew
#

46*

pliant ruin
#

i mean

#

all the other creatures we kill either were evil or a immediate threat for the most part so

#

killing things in a game dosen't automatically make you evil idk why the terraria community in particular is so keen on that

#

is mario evil bc he stomps on goombas 😭

plain yew
#

nah not really

pliant ruin
#

ye

plain yew
#

you kill the goblin tinkerer out of hatred along the way

pliant ruin
#

i mean i don't

plain yew
#

1 step closer to yharim insanity

pliant ruin
#

you're making that choice at the end of the day

plain yew
#

kill that damned hellspawn

magic epoch
pliant ruin
#

Don't remind me..

plain yew
#

how wild do u think it looks on scal's perspective on those who does low%

pliant ruin

#

kills the wall and the moon god on wake

untold oracle
#

So she tries to kill you preemptively

plain yew
#

holy shit

#

is it yharim speaking in the lore things

dusk laurel
#

Yes

plain yew
#

"don't be like me ahh" messages

pliant ruin
#

yeah its him

#

ironic because its more like

frozen zodiac
# pliant ruin is mario evil bc he stomps on goombas 😭

this one is actually just the result of an entire generation of people being manipulated by fan animations and content into thinking mario is a complete dick to everyone when he's literally the most jolly guy basically all the time willing to help anyone

pliant ruin
#

"be literally me except without being lazy"

frozen zodiac
#

dude can you PLEASE stop trying to put politics into your info dumping i just want to know what the world was like before i got here because there sure as hell isn't a library around here i do NOT care if you think the gods are stupid or whatever ok kratos i just want to know why people feared this thing i just killed

plain yew

pliant ruin
#

i loved stomping......

#

koopas...?...

untold oracle
frozen zodiac
#

what would you talk about with yharim if you could talk to him telepathically

plain yew
#

his thoughts about exo toilet

#

or does using auric toilet hurts

frozen zodiac
#

-Yharim has ceased communications

#

i think my terrarian would need to yell at him at least once when they realize he's the guy who killed their entire village

plain yew
#

well my terrarian's side is more

"u chill like that? ight let's have a ted talk before we kill each other"

pliant ruin
#

i'd reply to his initial monologue on awakening with skill issue then say skill issue again to him talking abt zeratros's death and then never speak again

#

he deserves to be bullied <3

plain yew
frozen zodiac
#

i feel like my terrarian would probably be super exhausted after Moon Lord with how long that fight can go on for

pliant ruin
#

after the moon lord fight my terrarian would look at the screen and say "well, THAT just happened..."

#

also as he's spawning she'd say "he's right behind me isn't he"

#

also it's just a self insert. my terrarian is just me.

#

ive never cared enough abt my terrarian oc to actually make one when i have to use all my brainpower for my own story and also for roy so instead i just made it a self insert

plain yew
#

my head canon is just

terrarian just loves beating up the siren and leviathan multiple times, they dont die

they just get a fist on their hrads and finally

money

spring helm
#

Cheese really told Lunatic Cultist
“Oh yeah? Moon Lord and what army?”

plain yew
#

whatever goes ngl

pliant ruin
#

that's my entire character's motivation. it'd be funny. its me. playing a videogame. im doing things because i want to have fun. it'd be funny

plain yew
#

real

#

as long as you're having fun making lore or just playing the game

#

its all that matters

untold oracle
pliant ruin
#

"bla bla bla dragons bla bla sinners bla bla bla xeroc bla bla"

#

SHUT UP!!!!!

untold oracle
#

I’m still wondering does she tell Yharim that she in fact is NOT continuing the crusade shitshow before or after the fight

pliant ruin
#

I feel like after would be more impactful

frozen zodiac
#

the cat from looney tunes hitting foghorn leghorn with a hammer when he doesnt shut up

spring helm
#

Have her say
“Nah, Imma do my own thing”
And then they fight

pliant ruin
#

because 1. yharim only ends up knowing that hte last minutes of his lfie

#
  1. it means for the entire fight he thought he was fighting someone who would conttinue his work
#

it just makes it more emotionally impactful imo, and can also add suspense

#

the reader wouldnt know for sure until the moment hits

#

there'd be narrative tension

frozen zodiac
#

I know one of the devs said yharim's death would be more impactful if its silent but i just cant get it out of my head at least one person would have their terrarian tear yharim apart in the most flashy way possible with 100 explosions

#

the celebration mk2 was made for one thing only

untold oracle
plain yew
#

the premise of my terrarian is that he has his daughter accompanying him throughout the whole playthrough

thing is, i dont have the modding capability to make a custom summoner weapon that scales

"Oh good heavens, what happened to your arm Rose? Did you have an intense battle with a dangerous foe in the depths of the ocean?", says the princess

I did not in fact say it was easy to take care of

pliant ruin

heck

maybe he's already your friend after you beat him ..............

#

you gave him a nice shower i mean that's pretty nice

I’m pretty sure calclone has an identity crisis and extremely low self esteem

i'm pretty sure calclone should be DELETED

give it a hug

#

dont u feel like calclone is similar to metal sanik

untold oracle
#

Similar to who

pliant ruin
#

metal sonic

plain yew

metal sanik

pliant ruin
#

you know like the soni that is a robot

and is like

made of metal

and is also evil. i think

frozen zodiac
untold oracle
#

I’m sorry I never played any sonic games 😭

plain yew

i think he genuinely believes that he's sonic too

frozen zodiac
#

there's like 3 or 4 different characters that can be described as robot sonic

pliant ruin
#

darkflame the hellhog

frozen zodiac
#

cause there's silver sonic from sonic 2, the small one that's also silver sonic i think from the game gear games, the actual metal sonic from CD, mecha sonic mk 2 from 3 & knuckles

I'm deleting existance

pliant ruin
#

she sucks so bad

#

i'm the #1 calclone hater

#

g

spare pier
#

I think YOU suck

#

Jokes aside I just think you fail to see the actual potential behind her

#

Just think about what you can do with the clone of the most feared person in the entire world

pliant ruin
#

i'm not talking about the lore i'm talking about her existence as a boss in of itself

#
  1. weaker version of another boss
  2. exists in a point of progression that already has a gorillion bosses
  3. isn't even a biome-themed boss and the only biome she could possibly be in (crags) already has a boss at the exact same point in progression
#

her lore itself could honestly be cool

#

i just think her existence is fundamentally flawed

spare pier
#

Well ok I also think you don't understand the potential of her as a Boss

#

Again

#

She is the clone of the most feared person in the entire world

pliant ruin
#

yeah that's why i think her lore application could be cool

#

but gameplay wise i have yet to see a convincing argument for her existence

spare pier
#

If you can convince the player they are actually fighting Calamitas, you can get a fucking amazing experience out of them

#

Scare people into thinking they are actually meeting her

#

Also she shares the same spot in progression as Plantera so like

pliant ruin
#

i mean just, hardmode, early hardmode in general has too many bosses

#

and also late hardmode

#

and just hardmode

#

hardmode has too many bosses

#

all of it

#

i hate hardmode

#

grr

spare pier
#

Kills u

pliant ruin
#

its the only actual good thing i see from calclone

#

and the music i guess there's that

#

the music's pretty good

rotund shore
#

raw unfiltered calamity is like top 5 songs in the mod for me

spare pier
#

"The only actual good thing" and then it's the entire fucking point of the Boss hdflr

pliant ruin
#

if the entire point of ur boss in a sandbox rpg is storytelling thats not enough reason to make it exist imo

#

atleast not one like terraria tbh

spare pier
#

I don't think that's true whatsoever

#

A Boss can be majorly a storytelling piece even in this game

#

By making things centered around the story, that's exactly how you make people interested in it

pliant ruin
#

i disagree bc inherently a good part of the community wont have much interest in storytelling, even if it's really good, imo

#

purely bc terraria dosen't have one

#

people who want a terraria mod purely wanting More Terraria will likely still not b interested

#

People who want Calamity specifically or are open to a story in their funny terraria mod, sure

spare pier
#

Developing this Mod thinking that people won't care about the story is the first step for us to not care about it as well

untold oracle
#

Oh boy it has begun again

spare pier
#

I'm not going to stop trying to make people interested in it just because they might not care

pliant ruin
#

yknow if u guys dont like these conversations we can just take it to dms hdflr ive asked this before

spare pier
#

Again, having things centered around the story is how you make people interested in it

pliant ruin
#

but last time nobody seemed to care so

pliant ruin
random mulch
#

as someone who very much is invested in the story, i am in favor of turning calclone into a fine powder

pliant ruin
#

what i was trying to say is that i dont think ONLY story would fix calclones problems and that's not ur fault

untold oracle
#

Calclone could use rework imo

spare pier
untold oracle
#

Not removed tho

pliant ruin
#

idc what happens to calclone i just dont like her

untold oracle
#

Maybe put on another point of progression

pliant ruin
#

honestly if calclone was like the end of pre hm i'd like her more but that's not gonna happen ever so

spare pier
#

Someone will see Cal Clone and they'll question what's going on. They will see Draedon and Calamitas and all that. That leads to people being interested in the story more than they would be otherwise

random mulch
#

if she was actually a bait and switch she might be interesting for the first time you fight her but rn she's just kinda there

pliant ruin
#

it'd be interesting for the first time yeah but it'd still be kind of a mess after you've beaten the story once

spare pier
#

And you're assuming I don't have anything else planned for her

pliant ruin
#

nu im not its bc anything story based for her would only be relevant once you beat the story once and in further playthroughs probably wouldnt matter - even if you were to include multiple story paths or smth it'd ultimately only be relevant for a limited amount of times

#

which, with how replayable terraria is and how ppl tend to play the game a gorillion times, yeah, i adding onto my idea that, good lore isnt enough to fi x calclones issues

spare pier
#

I don't even understand What are the issues

#

Ok, she's a weaker version of Calamitas. I have that covered.

#

Ok, she's not biome-themed. Half other Bosses also aren't, and either way it doesn't matter.

wheat walrus
#

DPS Check: armsmirk

spare pier
#

She's in a bloated spot in progression. Not really because she's at the same tier as Plantera which is after early HM

wheat walrus
#

Dps checks are sigma, if you disagree you fail the check

spare pier
#

Like, what else is the problem besides

#

The sprite is old

#

The fight is not good

#

Both things which will also be changed

pliant ruin
#

im not talking abt plantera tier specifically just

#

hm as a whole

#

has too many bosses

spare pier
#

Whatever

#

None of them are going anywhere and we all know this

#

Aside from Ravager

pliant ruin
#

yeah it sucks

#

calamity is uhh

#

whats the wrod

#

someone said it

split mortar
#

Boss rush?

wheat walrus
#

I like my mod gamey bruh

spare pier
#

Calamity is big, either way I'm tired of hearing everyone say "ooooh Calamity has too many Bosses"

#

Cool, everyone knows this, everyone is aware of it, everyone is tired of hearing it

split mortar
#

Yeah

pliant ruin
#

ok i cant find the word but calamity is what happens when years of shit pile up and now devs have to deal with all the horrors

spare pier
#

Nothing is being done to solve that because we don't want to delete three different Bosses when all of them have their own identity and add something to the Mod

pliant ruin
#

well yeah i wasnt saying that but i needed to clarify for what reasons i dislike calclone

spare pier
#

The most deletable Boss is Aureus and even then if he was Astral Infection would just be awkward

wheat walrus
#

How many contents have you consumed in your life 🧛🧛‍♂️🧛‍♀️🦇

pliant ruin
#

my remove calclone thing ws just a joke

spare pier
#

Anyways, again

#

If all of the problems you outlined are being fixed or aren't really relevant

#

What even is the problem then?

#

Why is it impossible to fix Cal Clone?

pliant ruin
#

didnt u just say u cant fix the cal boss bloat

#

and like i agree with that

#

so calclone wouldnt b fixable for that reason

spare pier
#

By that point you're almost saying "Calamity can't be fixed"

#

Because the entire Mod has Boss Bloat

pliant ruin
#

im not saying that tho im saying calclone is just a boss that i think is inherently pointless

#

her addition to the mod did not have to happen

random mulch
#

calclone is basically a relic that's been dragged out of time

pliant ruin
#

it happened years ago and nothing was done abt it because cal dreaded removing bosses back then and now its basically impossible to do so so instead the best thing that can be done is atleast make her not suck

spare pier
#

Ok and I just pointed to you why she's worthy to be kept around

wheat walrus
#

I can fix it

pliant ruin
#

reb my remove calclone comment was a joke i just told u

#

i just think shes pointless

spare pier
#

I know I'm talking about everything else

pliant ruin
#

i dont actually want her removed

spare pier
#

I told you why she isn't pointless

pliant ruin
#

pointless =/ i think she is doomed ot be a bad boss

spare pier
#

There is tangible value in keeping her around from a storytelling perspective and it's impossible to make anything else have such a role

wheat walrus
#

It can grow

#

Let it growwwww

pliant ruin
#

ok tbh i think the main thing isnt that i think shes doomed to be pointless i just think out of all bosses shes the most pointless addition if that makes sense and also some of my comments kinda were dumb in hindsight but idc

#

and u cant change that her addition was kinda pointless

#

thats what im tryna say

#

i just dont like her im a hater

wheat walrus
#

Why the bus aint coming i jus wanna eat kebab from the kebab man from the other town 😢

spring helm

I still don't agree that she's the most pointless addition

#

That's AS HDfailure

pliant ruin
#

i'd say old duke but honestly either or

wheat walrus
pliant ruin
#

stand for ur sins

spare pier
#

Old Duke was added as the final Boss of the Acid Rain, saying he's pointless is just wrong imo

pliant ruin
#

i think nuclear terror works fine as a acid rain final boss tbh

spare pier
#

Like, he always had a clear purpose ever since he was added

pliant ruin
#

but im biased since i love nuclear terror

old dukle sucks is dumb

#

i think hes cool

spare pier
#

I kinda hate Nuclear Terror because it's the face of the people who vehemently despise OD

wheat walrus
dusk laurel
#

I love both

#

But NT works as the final enemy of the Acid Rain better imo

spare pier
#

When I think that NT wouldn't be as good of a face for "the most fucked thing in the Sulphurous Sea"

wheat walrus
#

Seat found but this place smells terrible dawg

spare pier
#

The identity of the Sulphurous Sea is mostly about creatures who managed to survive beyond all odds in their environment

#

Nuclear Terror is not that

random mulch
#

actually nuclear terror is that

wheat walrus
random mulch
#

the bestiary states that it's been fighting to stay alive for "centuries"

split mortar
#

It’s survived and is beyond all odds surviving I’m pretty sure

spare pier
#

Nuclear Terror is a creature that exploits the Sulphurous Sea, not survives it

#

That's the difference

random mulch
#

where does it state anything about exploitation?

spare pier
#

The Sulphurous Sea molded Nuclear Terror into what it is, Old Duke simply withstood everything that was thrown at him

wheat walrus
#

Nvm

spare pier
#

Yeah no it's that actually

#

Wait no

#

I'm stupid

#

Well kinda

#

Somewhat

wheat walrus
#

I realized that kinda trope with Elder Dragons in MonHun since they do that a lot and their "emperor" is the best at that (Jiiva)

split mortar
#

"The effects of our actions are never immediately obvious. Centuries of poison and constant fighting for its own life created such monstrosity, now dragged to the shore by the unrelenting torrents. Whatever it may have been before, all that is left now is its will to survive."

indigo glade
split mortar
#

That the bestiary

wheat walrus
#

So yea

spare pier
#

Either way yeah, I think the main difference between the two is that Old Duke is a show of strength

#

Nuclear Terror is a show of, well

#

Terror

dusk laurel
#

I think NT should be called 'Scary Bug' in GFB

indigo glade
spare pier
#

And I think it's better if the strongest creature in the Sulphurous Sea is a creature which completely survived it

spare pier
#

Instead of one that was barely hanging there and is completely irrecognizable from its former self

dusk laurel
#

I mean, Old Duke's still gonna be the strongest enemy in the Sulphur Sea

spare pier
#

Either way the discussion was about the most pointless addition to the Mod

#

It's 100% AS

#

That thing was added because someone submitted a resprite for DS, Fab saw it and thought it was too cool to pass it

split mortar
#

-# ok yeah i see that :(

spare pier
#

So he made AS

wheat walrus
#

Incredible Event

random mulch
#

i like AS but i agree

split mortar
#

And thus submarine shocker was born

spare pier
#

Either way I am a very firm believer that literally no addition to the Mod, specially when it comes to Bosses, is a net negative

#

Because people like them and become attached to them and they add more content

#

Unless it's fucking Elf Melter

#

Or Holiday Halberd

split mortar
#

If it’s fun then it’s fine though I think non boss content would add more fun then more boss content at this point

split mortar
#

Like

#

Why hate funny blue flamethrower

thin sage
#

i dont like elf melter either

spare pier
#

I don't want to add any more Bosses

#

But I don't think any Boss that is currently in the game was a bad decision to be added

#

And look, I think there's a lot of merit to the fact that the only Boss who is near universally despised is Ravager

#

This Mod has 46 Bosses and all of them have a fairly big fanbase

#

EVEN ASTRAGELDON HAD ONE hdflr

#

AND STILL HAS

split mortar

I don’t think any boss addition that has been made is bad, not calclone, not OD, not AS, or anything really

Hi hello, is dragonfolly still a yharon's failed clone or lore changed already?

But it’s just a normal dragon species not part of the the auric dragons

Oh and it’s also evolved to be much more reclusive and hidden while also more aggressive because they were hunted due to people thinking they were auric dragons

magic zenith
#

I didn't knew Calamity had non auric soul dragons

split mortar

Auric souls aren’t carried onto the children so when a auric dragon caused offshoots they would just be regular dragons

God of electricity, one of the two gods of illmeris and died to scal when she was sent to obliterate their entire kingdom and sea

She caused sea prisms and thus allowed exo prisms to be made by draedon iirc

She was a great god morally

But as I said earlier

There can be multiple gods from the same species

do we know anything about what the surface was like pre deific era?

other than "hot as all fucking hell"

split mortar
#

Ruled by dragons

#

Since most dragons would struggle being underground

light linden
#

eh

#

personally I think the granite and marble biomes were originally dragon homes underground

#

but that's headcanon

split mortar
#

Could happen but it would probably be of specific dragons rather then general dragon guys

#

Oh maybe offshoots would be a lot more common

#

More dragons mean more dragon children

#

So the surface prob had more silly guys

light linden
#

oh also another thing

#

y'all think yharim would've eventually requested draedon to work on time travel?

pliant ruin
#

I think marlbe and granite r just natural

#

well, maybe not marble

#

since the mobs on it r pretty... unnatural

#

but granite

#

seems very natural to me

split mortar
#

Oh and bone serpents are providence or flame dragon related

split mortar
light linden
#

actually

split mortar
#

So if he was to see time stop or time slow then he would prob request draedon to do that but inverse time flow

light linden
#

that'd be a neat alternative history thing

#

yharim looks back and sees some of the dragons being worse than the tyrannical gods he hunted

#

and then has a crisis

split mortar
#

Flame dragon

#

Would do that

light linden
#

not sure what yharim would do in that case tbh

#

would he just turn on yharon?

split mortar
light linden
#

not sure about that

split mortar
#

Like yharim imo would find an excuse for the dragons

light linden
#

he seems to have at least basic morals

split mortar
#

If he can make an excuse as to why gods are bad

split mortar
#

Like he has morals

#

Just he is fine with more

light linden
#

also I'd be lying if I said that I didn't agree with yharim being mad over a bunch of the gods contributing to a genocide for selfish reasons

#

ignoring the fact that he killed gods that were better than the dragons

spring helm
#

too bad that's not all he did

light linden
#

ik

#

which is why I specified that part is what I agree with

split mortar
#

he’d prob say something like “the auric dragons had out their eternal life at risk to protect the world, in the end they had proven themselves just” or something like that idk for excusing dragons

light linden
spring helm
#

there is a reason Yharim was able to gather up an army in the first place

split mortar
#

Yeah he provided either a morally better option to the masses

#

Or a monetarily better option to the masses

Like being a basic guy gave you good pay and food and shelter even on active wars

y'all think any of the godseeker knights are missing limbs and got draedon made prosthetics?

#

Yeah I can see that

#

It’s hard to just regrow a limb

#

So any could lose a limb or two because of a close fight

#

Reason I am asking is because some of the background for the godseeker knight in my add-on they got promoted to a godseeker knight after nearly killing the profaned guardians but had to get new legs because his got burned off just above the knees
