oh well
Name Meaning: "Tigrex" is a blend of "tiger" and "Tyrannosaurus rex" β a good hint at its wild, primal nature.
First Appearance: Debuted in Monster Hunter Freedom 2 (PSP, 2007).
Habitat: Found in cold mountainous areas like the Frozen Seaway and Tundra, but also appears in deserts and forests.
Behavior: Itβs an aggressive brute wyvern that constantly charges its prey. It relies more on brute strength and speed than elemental abilities.
Personality: Unlike some monsters with more mystical or ecological themes, Tigrex is just a raw force of nature β a beast that attacks anything that moves.
Roar: Its roar is so strong it can physically knock hunters back β often a lead-in to a brutal combo.
good to see this chat is making good use of the image perms
y'all are totally gonna lose them again π
Sorry
Yeah can we not meme with them

Say a number between 1 and 4
I shall pick two once again. Surely it will nto be useless again.
I'd say you were a bit unlucky again
But not useless
Bonescrappers: scrappers/inventors (extinct?)
This time I won't reroll, though
if we slay many stronger gods like Providence and ravager (Kinda) why don't their corpses form corruptions like the crimson, corruption , and hallow from when yharim killed gods?
Those are formed by corpses of several Gods rotting over decades
It's also not out of question that, depending on where you killed them, DoG might've swooped in later to collect the essence
oh yeah that would also explain it. but it does make sense that only killing like 3 gods wouldnt do THAT much.
...Pre-Illmeris factions and the jobs they took when they merged into the Illmeran kingdom? π€

who was dog's mommy and daddy and how he get tho sentinals
i think he was just made by noxus
hiiiiii
is it ever stated anywhere what Calamitas actually is? like is she just a demon or something different
azafurian
Which are like
People from azafure/brimstone crag
yes
okiki thank you
ploo
What star said, he was probably made by Noxus, & at the minimum, is definetly commanded by them, the Distortion bosses arent his sentinels anymore though they're just unrelated entities, Signus is an external affairs officer for the Distortion who loves to fuck people over with bad deals, Storm Weaver is a creature that managed to sever itself from the Distortion hivemind & terrorizes the skies, & Ceaseless Void is a portal to the Distortion with a bunch of protective charms on it
:< idk who noxus or thge distortion
Noxus is basically the king of the distortion, very scary, very powerful, & the distortion is a weird physics-defying fold in space that Devourer Of Gods & the gang come from
to elaborate, you can think of the distortion as a pocket dimension, and it will eventually be added as a subworld (the terraria equivalent of minecraft dimensions)
and noxus might be added as an optional superboss after yharim
Not guaranteed because the devs can just
Get bored and not wanna anymore
yeah i said noxus isn't guaranteed
that would make more sense
Are illmeris water salty
i think rebecca said the sunken sea is freshwater
i could be misremembering though
It was between salt and fresh iirc
Brackish?
So daybroken could be primordial light related?
if u ever feel useless just remember that vanilla gives a unique tooltip to daybroken despite the player being unable to get inflicted by it
π
I will already tell you
This is an incorrect assumption
@pliant ruin
tiggy
thing about the habitat, tigrex doesn't have a set habitat and it's a nomad
it only goes to cold climate areas because there's Popos in there and Tigrex is a fan π₯
Whenever I think of the Ilmeran tribes pre-unification I think of the 12 tribes of Israel
Absolutely no relation except for them being tribes, but thatβs just where my mind goes to
#monster-hunter-discussion
yep
if gardevoir could create a black hole that works like a black hole
there wouldn't be anyone to document it
because everyone would be dead
I think the idea is that it implodes & destroys everything in the vicinity
thus some ranger watching through a pair of binoculars could probably observe the phenomena
im ngl if this was something gardevoirs did often
(the black hole i mean because its too small)
the world would be a fucking wasteland
theres a lot of gardevoirs in the pokemon world
and a lot of trainers that own gardevoirs
that would be put in danger and therefore make the gardevoir summon a black hole that kills everything in an area
it isnt apparently according to the dex entry the gardevoir will only do it to try protect a trainer they deeply care for as a last ditch kinda thing
thats just fucking stupid lol
if the black hole was big enough to destroy stuff, it would destroy the earth
if it wasnt big enough to destroy stuff it would barely be visible and would be nothing of note as something to "protect their trainer" since itd just be useless
either way it cant be an actual black hole

yeah
yeah the point is that its meant to be a really powerful attack according to the dex
also btw the dex HAS been wrong before anyways
but also the pokedex is really weird because its not clear if its written by the professors or the trainers
or even fucking rotom
either way its written by a character and shouldnt be used as a source of ultimate truth
yep
pokedex entries when it says a pokemon is hotter than the fucking sun
maybe the pokèmon universe is just built different
#notallhypnos
I think Gardevoir making a black hole can be easily understood as the magical pop culture idea of a black hole and trying to argue about the physics about it is reading way into something thats not that complicated

or maybe the dex is just bullshit for the sake of sounding cool
y'know
like item tooltips!
why cant it be both
no
probably is
I mean for fucks sake Ash alone has survived being grilled by his charizard dozens of times
Theres clearly SOMETHING weird about pokemon universe humans
something something plot armor
dear god using gags as powerscaling
π π π π π« π« π« π« π« π« π«
this is justthat one dragon ball joke of that one character "exploding the moon"
ash doesnt even age iirc
idk i dont do powerscaling i just hate people that shit on a series because of arbitrary comparisons of strength between fiction
i aint trying to powerscale im just saying pokemon universe humans are weird & durable as hell π

Funny
to be fair, it IS literally called "daybroken"

Tbf it is from vanilla
ok so is a lot of stuff from cal lore

plus, it's not an explicit reference. it's not dev or donor content.
I think Pucci with MiH reaches universal by restarting the universe with gravity on a universal scale.
I mean on a realistic scale, if they would be plausible in real life LMAO

look at those 15 pixels carefully
Are those 15 pixels chicken-jocky?
I was gonna say Steve but idk
erm this is a terraria server

so
what's the core topic of this channel
Just sent a gif of the topic
this channel
what is meant to be discussed here
I asked a lore question but no one answered
The guide
no
mom why is the white man pointing at me
So being in sunlight just smited you with the power of a post cultist weapon endlessly back in dragon age got it
it's the terrarian
he's telling you that the terrarian's lore is up to you, son

am i getting banned
No but it you say anything like that again Iβm breaking your kneecaps
Donβt be weird
ok

what
If yharim not fren why fren shaped
thats because you have ulcerative colitis
is the lore doc still accurate or do i have to look somewhere else for something better
yeah but i didn't know if it's outdated or not the message is from 2023 so i think osme stuff has changed since then
but idk
ahh
when the original message was posted doesn't really matter, when the doc was last updated is what's important
yes cause embeds don't update
if you click the thing it says 2.0.4
:p
yes pisscord
granted
most other stuff doesn't have updating embeds usually that I remember
it says 2.0.2 on the first paragraph too
i suppose that's true
for some reason
that's prolly a slip-up
nonetheless, it has all the ingame lore all the way up to bountiful harvest update
yerp
which I'm pretty sure is the last update of any form that added anything lore to the game
so
yea
it's up to date
because it is
and universe is in a multiverse so there are other universes next to that universe and in that universe this happens
dont jinx our img perms

those who t
those who those
Do events in calamity canonically happen after a bosses death or is that purely a gameplay thing
Like does polterghast defeat allow a stronger acid rain
A different thing will activate the acid rain t3 iirc
But aquatic scoog intimidates tier 2 away
things like plague on golem's death is gameplay iirc
or just a really curious coincidence
Yeah post golem infection is being changed
Yeah it's gonna generate on world creation but only 'activate' in late hardmode right?
I dint think we know
We need a bigger world size man
what you want calamity to add extra large?
I doubt ancient manipulator is from terraria
what
It can manipulate primordial light and 3-4 possible equal things to that
While barely anything on the planet can fucking interact with PL
Im afraid I dont understand why you said that with no preamble
Preamble?
Feels like walking in on a conversation mid-way except theres only one person
so to say, set-up
Its 11pm and i have the social skills of a chair
you're lax, respectable & yet somewhat informal in appropriate contexts?
Solar fragments are pl related cause daytime empress inflicts daybroken which is only from the daybreak weapon which is solar flare
Idk
tbf i toss out some idle thoughts in here sometimes
Like, I know it's THE THING FROM THE SUN
And also the thing used by The Strongest Character In The Universe
But Primordial Light isn't a fucking Infinity Stone
the go go gadget cancer ray is unbeatable trust
Rebecca does have a point
Like, of course it's going to be an inherently powerful resource to draw from
It seems being able to wield it in any respects isnt necessarily all about 'you must be overwhemlingly powerful & have tons of crazy shit going on'
But using it isn't going to make you immediately capable of curbstomping 99% of the world
using the light from the sun does not make you the sun
Exactly
Of course, that isn't to say Primordial Light isn't at a baseline an incredibly powerful thing, because it is
But it's not the end-all of power for the Mod
I never meant that interacting with pl means you are powerful
Just
The ability to interact with it is so rare on the planet and that ancient manipulator looks very alien and is also proficient in alien magics
I just dont think its from the planet, not that its like fucking busted strong
I was never on about power
i like how everyone jumped to the conclusion that the other pillars must be equally as powerful as pl
nose
Cheese shut up and let us have our fun you meanie
i didn't imply anything
i just said i think it's funny how that was the immediate conclsuon everyone had
Why is it funny
because literally everybody immediately agreed on it
like actually everyone
i mean it's reasonable enough but it's funny that the lore chat shares 1 braincell at times
i'd rather it share 1 braincell at lore reveals like this than have none like usually does thohgh
π
wait wait wait hold on
primodial light = solar pillar = zeratros
Primordial vortex = vortex pillar = vertrasyl
i feel like vortex is more like gravity
it is the one with lightning
also true
vertrasyl is the dragon of storms
nebula = magic = mana and astral but not exactly space = ???
stardust = summon = ???
Nebula= devourer of gods?
Thereβs a theory that heβs actually a dragon
no, not fitting, DoG is not a dragon
that's a stupid theory
he doesn't have an auric soul
it doesnt make sense because draedon studied him and didnt come to that conclusion
it also wouldnt make sense if he originates from the distortion
yeah
anyways
storms resulted in an infinite power source via sea prisms, these gave rise to exo prisms which make the exo mechs make storms in the background, which resemble the vortex ones
damn
that's actually kinda interesting
stardust pillar enemies split and come back after being being weakened
yharon pillar real...
@spare pierquestion
Some do
clearly this is the pillar of gluttony ...............
Stardust cells
they are cells
we ever gonna get an explanation for as to how astral ore is refined?
is this going to be the new infected armor plating
place your bets
hey cheese how do lihzahrd power cells work
aw
tell me right now or i will eat
chees
ok so the lihzahrds get a rock right
they then use their evil lihzahrd shrink ray to shrink a entire nuclear factory
and they put the nuclear factory inside of the rock
that is where the power of the power cells come from
and steal the moon
ore
πͺ¨
hi lore devs can i get a detailed explanation of the chemical components of infernal suevite. pelase
lore devs can you please elaborate why the aether looks like that
i need to know why it generates like that
hi chatgpt can you give me detailed instructions how NOT to use brimstone magic
holy shit you gave me an idea
Is there something more powerful?
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
There are definitely things just as powerful
Besides, the truth is that the only thing that matters is the baseline at which the power of something starts
EoL is nowhere near as powerful as many Bosses, meanwhile Xeroc is Xeroc
What power you are using doesn't matter, it's who's using it
Vanillin's true form when fighting Xeroc in lore
what...
Where can I read ALL the calamity lore start to finish
One of these emaculate lore-smiths has a big lore document
Alright thanks Iβll look for it
ππ₯
(pins
She isn't a elemental no
there's only 5 elementals and they correspond to the 4 main elements + nature
brimmy (fire), anahita (water), sandy (earth), cloudy (air) and silva (nature)
brimmy will b getting a real name like anahita and silva in the future
reb said that wasnt going to happen
oh wait really
I mean, who knows, if the time comes and she gets one, that's that
I don't want to make it seem like I alone can give the veredict that Brimmy will never have a name
Will giving Brimmy a name take away the mystery?
i agree with you
for me it's not about the mystery, it's more that giving her a name humanizes her
Yeah
if she's supposed to be Fucked Up Evil Monstrous Being she feels more like one if she's not even given a proper name, just a title or a descriptor
Does Brimmy have a public new sprite that is planned?
What does crunched mean?
Oh, very nice. I was wanting to ask if she'll have clothes this time. Looks like she will. The cream-tan part looks like a wedding dress
And a crown?
My opinion is that a rename would be nice, to make it more distinct from the non boss elementals, but still not a humanizing name
yea he destroyed her with facts and logic and the power of incredible violence
yharim beat her to death except not because she's immortal
Reject the False Idol! The envoy rests in stone for her treachery! Hail the Brimstone Heart, the true flame!
The next spoilers I post will be so interesting....
Can't wait for the Hadean Wilds saga
This is already pretty cool
Thanks!
Yes
The wither
#spoilers message you get Malachite's tooltip
who wins in a 1v1 yharim or gojo
I looked on the pins, and nothing seemed to mention it, not even the official lore document, so I'll tentatively ask here despite it being a pretty basic question:
What's wulfram, and why is such advanced technology made out of such a terrible metal?
Wulfrum
is an alloy
its not Terrible
And certainly not really advanced

Its easy to produce and build robots with wulfrum
nya kind of said this already but wulfrum is an alloy that is really easy to work with, kind of like tin or copper or lead in the real world. I assume it has some useful properties like softness that allows it to make intricate things easily, but those same properties make it easy to break. It isn't advanced, it just looks cool.
It's advanced compared to the other things obtainable at that stage of the game
it appears advanced but lore wise, being able to make things like this is common knowledge. It seems advanced because making such things out of other stronger materials is hard to do. Physics is also different in this world, and magic exists
The basic principles behind mdoern technologies are common knowledge today, that doesn't make them not advanced. Yes, I accept the whole "they appear advanced but they're actually far less advanced than they look" thing, but it is very, very difficult for a sci fi technology to be less advanced than basic, nonmagical swords and plate armor, even if it's weaker.
Eh, something can be both sci fi and fantasy simultaneously, that's what science fantasy is
I didn't say it was strong, just advanced
Well, advanced for early game terrarians. I imagine by the time you reach hardmode the kind of technology you have access to is probably far more advanced than wulfram.
yes, but only you have that. The terrarian surpases what most others can do pretty quickly. The start out as a more or less average person for that world
That is true I suppose
But talk of what an average terrarian would have access to does get complicated by the fact that you never actually encounter anyone who is neither a boss nor part of your town. At least in vanilla, it's probably different in calamity.
in vanilla, its weird. But in calamity...
that's because we're in the literal worst place in the world. Everyone is dead. The only worst place to be is the continent that is entirely volcanoes. Cities and kingdoms have scraped by the devestation of the crusade on other continents, but this one has completely fallen to ruin, save for a few adventurers and hermits who managed to stay out of the way
heartlands (the continent we play in) is literally infested by dead gods shit
I doubt evils exist outside heartlands
The crusade was worldwide, which means that any gods that died outside the continent spread their essence around too
There is apparently also a place called the "crystal city", and it is the same kind of crystals we find in the hallow. This presumably is the result of a powerful god that died a long time ago.
A lore writer said these things at some point months ago
I can't remember when or who exactly
a lore writer said recently that it was not worldwide
What
When
I could have sworn it spanned the entire world according to someone, or at least pretty close to it
That means exactly what I said it did
Although the entire point of a hive mind is that it doesn't have a brain. It is an emergent phenomenon that exists despite no single physical object containing it
Hey lore writers your lore is wrong
That depends on the hivemind. Many fictions write hiveminds in different ways compared to each other, and some of those hiveminds do indeed have a central brain
The zerg from Starcraft, the flood from Halo, and hiveminds in general from Stellaris all have central brains
I would assume that the reason hiveminds are often written this way in fiction is because central brains have the potential to be actual interesting characters, something that would be very very difficult to accomplish with a decentralized hivemind
This goes doubly so with games like terraria where central brains can act as bossfights
Of course, while interesting characters in a decentralized hivemind would be difficult, it isn't necessarily impossible. Take the tyranids from 40k for example. The hivemind there, to my understanding, is a warp god that emerges as a natural result of the psychic activity of every tyranid. I don't know enough about 40k lore to confirm this, but whether or not it is like this isn't the point, because the simple fact that I could even propose the idea at all proves that it is possible to write an interesting character in a decentralized hivemind.
These are false portrayals of what a hive mind is
That being said, this does not mean that centralized hiveminds are bad writing. Far from it; a central brain could fit more closely with what the writer is going for
All fiction is a false portrayal of reality, that's what fiction is.
A hive mind is by definition decentralized. That is what makes it a hive mind
What
No, then it's just a mind
Also, portraying a hive mind correctly is very easy. It's called an ant colony or bee hive. That's where the idea comes from. There is no one giving the orders. The ant queen is not actually in charge of anything
Keep in mind that hiveminds don't exist in real life (no, ants and bees don't count; even with the swarm being more intelligent than individual components, the swarm as a whole is still not intelligent enough to achieve consciousness), so it is impossible to say what a real life hivemind would be like. In fact, there very likely isn't a one singular answer; it could be the case that both centralized hiveminds and decentralized hiveminds are possible simultaneously.
What
Where did your idea that a hive mind has to be fully intelligent like a person come from?
I do not believe that you actually know the meanings of the words you speak, or that you have assigned them meanings that don't match what other people believe them to mean
Do remember that we are talking about magical creatures in a magical world that has physics different from our universe. The very concept of "portraying something correctly" inherently does not apply.
This is completely irrelevant and also false
Well, I've noticed that I'm starting to get into an argument that will go nowhere. In the interest of working on my problem of being too argumentative, I will end the argument here. Have a nice day.
Imagine saying "yeah, this thing that looks and and feels and tastes like an apple is an orange, I know it doesn't look like it but oranges aren't real so it's ok, it's fictional anyways"
Not talking to that bozo anymore:
There are two options for hive mind to make sense.
1: it is a bunch of tiny independent creatures that are just forming the shape of a larger creature
2: the player is bad at naming things and it is the exact opposite of a hive mind.
The lore entry is also wrong regardless of which of these are true
no it's still a hive mind
By definition it is not a hive mind
look at bottom
the example is one with a central brain
there's nothing in the definition that says it can't have a central brain
The bottom definition is entirely contradictory to the original definition of hive mind
Google can be wrong. It often is
then what is the original definition, o exalted one?
Definitions also change, the original definition of a word is pointless
^
A hive mind can have a central brain, yes, that's a widely used definition of the term in fiction
It can, sure, I suppose you can be correct that this is what the definition is now, but I feel it is also important to know that if this really is the new definition of the word, then all meaning it once had has been lost. All minds are hive minds now. Your brain controls the actions of the cells in your body, meaning that your cells are part of a hive mind
Is a hive mind really just a mind?
Words lose meaning every day, that's how language works
Rebecca, even if they're right, can you understand how this new definition may be completely useless now?
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
no because it's not
If you want to be pedantic and refer to your entire body as a hive mind, sure
Why even call it that then? There is no longer any distinction between a normal mind controlling a group of things, and a mind that emerges from a collection of smaller autonomous entities without any central control. There is not even any distinct word for the latter concept anymore.
your "original definition" seems very narrow minded
no pun intended
I don't mind the meaning of words changing, but I do mind losing the ability to talk about a concept with any rigor to this process. I know I'm fighting a losing battle
Surely it was the original purpose of the word, the mind of a hive, no?
if you can prove it, sure
Hives of insects don't have any single object containing their minds, instead a sort of mind emerges from the collective of all those insects
A hive mind is a form of life where many brains are connected into one neural network
The brain is the mind of the hive that is the cells of an organism
π
there's always a queen bee, ant, termite etc
that the rest serve
You may extend this to how insect hives work, as they act in near perfect unison
But they aren't a hive mind, they simply act in a way that would give such an impression
This isn't actually true. Insect queens don't rule the hive, their only purpose is to reproduce. Bees have even been known to kill queens that get sick.
Bees kill their Queen a lot
you get my point
This is true, and distinct from the meaning given by pyro
it's not unreasonable to take that concept and extend it to fiction
Ultimately a hive mind is defined not by how the neural connection works, but that there is one to begin with
Yeah no this is completely incorrect actually. The queen is no more special than the others in terms of command or intelligence, it serves a specific function (reproduction) that happens to be unique for the hive
see previous comment
No actually, I think you don't get your own point. The original real world example of a hive mind is one where the apparent ruler actually has zero control or awareness, and the only kind of intelligence that exists is an emergent property
and you know this how?
It is unreasonable because the original was based on a misunderstanding
I have learned biology.
Jumping in because I feel this is separate from the argument that I left, what distinguishes a centralized hivemind from a regular mind, at least in my eyes, is whether the drones are their own separate organisms. A skin cell on your hand is not an organism because it cannot function on its own without the rest of your body, nor does it have any way to survive on its own. A zergling within the zerg swarm, however, is, because even though it gets significantly dumber without centralized control, it is still a complete organism with its own mind and its own capability, however poor it may be, to survive on its own. This is why the zerg are a hivemind and you are not.
This is why I believe that extending the definition of a hivemind to include centralized hiveminds does not destroy the ability to effectively talk about hiveminds.
yes
Your cells can actually survive without you sometimes, but the lines here are very ambiguous. An ant cannot survive for very long without it's colony, but it acts autonomously. I do agree that the zerg example makes sense but it should be considered more like an in between state where individual members act like parts of a hive mind but there is a specific entity that has a larger portion of control.
Hi
Bye berecca
The concept of a hive mind though is generally meant to refer to a situation where many unintelligent entities can act together as a more intelligent whole, and where there can be some level of central control but the individual units should contain some degree of autonomy
Anyway uh be polite while you debate tiny pointless details of semantics thanks guys
Understood
Not sure if I posted this already
Anyways, like I said earlier, you may be correct that the definition of hive mind has changed into what you said it is, but I think that would be a very unfortunate development in language that ends up entirely destroying the meaning that the word originally had
Not necessarily. If you want to talk about decentralized hiveminds, you can just say "decentralized hiveminds". We were able to do so in this conversation just fine.
You could, but then you might as well say "decentralized minds", because the meaning is gone
The original meaning is not destroyed, it's just that the word has adopted another meaning on top of it
Hive mind refers to both of those
Many words have picked up new definitions over time while still retaining their original definition
See my issue with that is the new definition is contradictory to the original one, so "hive mind" is actually no different than "mind"
You don't know which one you mean anymore
it's not contradictory though
A mind cannot be both centralized and decentralized
yes it can
These are opposite, incompatible things
How?
It can be somewhere in between, but it can't be solely both
idk i'm just saying shit bc i'm bored
Oh ok (angry)
?????????
couldn't find the screenshot
Well yes, but that's why there's such a thing as context, words don't exist in isolation
do we know what the dungeon cult is about
i have an idea that might work but idk enough about them
They worship the dragons, use CV as a battery for spells and upkeep the seal on moonlord
Oh and they were fine with yharim using their place as a super fucked up prison
i was thinking it would be cool if they summoned the pillars from the distortion
bc what else are they
They are the dragon cult
i meant the pillars
They helped moonlord
what else are the pillars if not from the distortion
i thought the pillars were from cultist
Nop
Helped ml fight the dragons according to a dev statement
i remember the lore being that cultist summoned the pillars as a last stand to keep ml sealed
no it was true at some point
Not new lore
ig not
We dunno whats with new lore pillars really beyond this
And in vanilla the pillars are part of the seal on moonlord
iirc
yes it was
me when i spread misinformation π
^
did he
Yes
his goal was to kill all if the gods after all
itd be weird if he just rested on his laurels on one continent
Hey something that I wanted to ask and see if anyone has answers for it is that it finally clicked to me why Draedons theme/motif (specifically the abandoned labs) sounded so familiar and it was that his motif correct me if I'm wrong is the guitar solo for Feral Amalgamation (1:42) and that makes me wonder is there really any explanation for this in the lore? Why do seemingly two entirely separate beings from completely different backgrounds share the same motif? You think there could be some form of connection between them idk this is probably a very crack pot take but considering how important the music is to the mod it kinda made me think
The only connection is that draedon worked for yharim and yharim caused the polterghast incident afaik
how many bosses could get added in theory?
3
Yharim (final boss)
Noxus (post game super boss)
Xeroc (post game super boss)
Only yharim is guaranteed to happen
zamn π
i feel like there should be more bosses between dog, yharon and the two endgame ones
Boss bloat is not good
but it is fun
Not for many
we have a crab
They wanna add more non boss content
That would be great!!
Distortion update will focus on that
ooh maybe invasions and events near endgame
For post ml
Terraria mfs when they only see bosses and ignore everything else
something to do other than prepare after dog, then yharon, then the next and so on
Thereβs distortion
Yeah dog will unlock more for the distortion
So exploration will be a thing
^
the yharims army invasion isnt gonna happen cuz they were all wiped out right?
I hear an event of sorts may have something like that
They disbanded not wiped out
Yharim wants you to get stronger
"Itβs for character development"
@cheese
maybe like, suits of auric armour that act as a miniboss/invasion where you fight a small group of souped up enemies at a time per wave?
They would die in auric
i would die in auric
deep lore
Not a lot of people are attuned to dragons nowadays
Considering the auric dragons are dead
And the terrarian pretty much invented mock auric
Since
Not a lot of people had access to Yharon soul fragments before
is the auric ore generated post yharon its own poo
??
Idr what its deal was
what...
you heard me
People have a bunch of wacky headcanons for how auric appears
It says draconic energies or something when it generates
so like, it spreads out and turns rock to fancy electric gold?
I think a auric dragons death releases their current bodies power onto the surrounding area and it makes auric ore
Complete headcanon tho
there should def be a near endgame wave type event tho
what would it be tho
The acid rain t3 is like the only thing i can see being like that and afaik thats pre dog even after rework
Yhormβs Revenge
i think youre on to something
also yeah the yharmy is probably gonna be a real event, but it wont be a wave type of event
Yhorm uses its boundless powers to summon evil Yhorm apparitions (Yharim sprites with worm AI)
youll see when the undead gauntlet gets added
Gonna be like fight 5 minibosses type deal iirc
What if there was purple providence
providence but she drank too much cosmilite
Yeeea
Providence but i snuck purple food dye on the soul of flames
Mark shenanigans
the vengeful souls from his 'stalwart' troops which are the same ones used to power the mechs?
thats not very interesting imo
we already have an entire area dedicated to vengeful souls
and multiple bosses
and a boss too
yeah but, ghost invasion
Plantera and polter
Just go to the dungeon for that
where are the skeleton jailors
They are some of the enemies we fight in the dungeon
Some are prisoners some are the jailors and wardens
We will prob learn which ones are jailors and ones prisoners once the sso update comes out via the vanilla bestiary rewrite
my ass is dead
Weβll have every calamity and vanilla weapon reworked before that
Wasnβt the original idea for it to be out in january or smth..
I think so
last year
"ok so, we need to rework the quagmire"
pt 1 and 2 used to be one thing
Yeah ik
Im saying is part 1 like twice as big as the original plan back when they started
wait is part one out yet
no
No
If it was we would have all lore ever
part 1 is already going to be the largest calamity update in history
607 - Reworked The Underworld's generation. - Done β

They should fuse part 1 and part 2
minecraft cave and cliffs
not really
I think itβs because people are afraid to actually touch the world generation development (probably hell so not blaming) so they just keep reworking items because itβs relatively simple to do and probably the area where most of them are skilled in
Although this has been discussed many times before so
The following recipes were removed:
Adhesive Bandage, Armor Polish, Band of Regeneration, Bezoar, Black Lens, Bug Net, Celestial Magnet, Desert Minecart, Feral Claws, Flare Gun, Frozen Turtle Shell, Guide Voodoo Doll, Ice Boomerang, Ice Machine, Lavaproof Fishing Hook, Leaf Wand, Lihzahrd Power Cell, Living Loom, Living Mahogany Wand, Living Wood Wand, Magic Quiver, Metal Detector, Rich Mahogany Leaf Wand, Shuriken, Sky Mill, Staff of Regrowth, Temple Key, Throwing Knife, and Vitamins. - Done β
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this update should be delayed for until fabsoluary
what
it is more lore accurate for me to be able to craft a bandage
Bandage prob has magic fuckery going on
it just makes you not bleed
Mind you a lot of these recipes weren't super necessary after 1.4.4 made them easier to get with shimmer
At least for some of them
And calamity adds them to many drop pools of enemies
i dont need empress of light bathwater, ill just farm for them, this is what they are doing to me
i didnt really like the recipe qol much
Mmm I liked these recipes but yeah ig Iβm fine with them going
So they are easier and shimmerable
how am i expected to get a sky mill now
from sky islands probably
Sky islands
gravity potions π
Its not that hard to come across a few in a worlds set of sky islands
can you please rename me to todd gorch
Todβ¦
it cannot be done
they are almost never at sky islands
They havent unclogged god
todd gorch
I find a few per world
whos to say that
but what if..? you didnt?
the redone sky gen wont guarantee a sky mill
The nefarious fishing

Those who unclog
Tod: π
God: π¨
Mods
Ban them
tod will never unclog god
Crying emoji
too late, i just did

strange user
You are todd not tod
of all the gods round these parts, this guy was the easiest to unclog
its todd gorch, get it right
Still not tod
iβve completely forgotten the lore related thing that i was planning to mention
Are you aware solar fragments have PL
yes
Aight

Iβm not lea here smh
@mods change deltaw to lea please
istg if this is how we lose our perms again
Todd is using stickers which afaik dont count for images
But yeah please do keep meme images down low
Image perms have already been nuked before
anyway
Weβre losing messages perm with this one
607 - Reworked The Underworld's generation. - Done β
what is this gonna look like
imo if you wanna talk about the changelogs
https://discord.com/channels/225030931008847874/711268703991365642 would be a better place
Yeah
alright, but is it being reworked to better coincide with the lore that the underworld is where azafure is
like, why does it cut off
not really
boo
its getting reworked so the gen isnt shit
and therell be new buildings too
the crags (azafure) are for a different update
where the roadmap at
Theres a doc with all future planned content in spoiler chat its prob somehwere in there
no
O
the roadmap is basically
give it to me
sunken sea overhaul -> minor updates and patches -> brimstone crags overhaul -> minor updates and patches -> distortion -> ??? -> dragon's aerie -> noxus and xeroc (?)
knocks us and zerock arent being added i think
abyss rework in sso???
yes
they might
pog
not that they wont
infernum abyss 
infernum abyss lowk doodoo
infernum abyss 
just keep the void and throw everything else away
in fact, make the void take up like all the height and just make the rest extend into the dungeon because it would be very funny
i think the void being an arena is pretty neat
yeah but deadass i wish the abyss was just more spaced out, less cluttered
youre in luck
... am i?
Zeratros secret final boss
the abyss gen rework makes the abyss wider
without fucking with the dungeon
make it like, really wide
infernum void wide
no thats a bad idea
dewit
No its bad
actually just make the void big
that sounds funny
new secret seed unlocked
lore accurate abyss
no... ?
yes everything is meant to be massive
But you know what e-
Itβs long in the z axis 
They should do that
Every biome and structure has its own pre generated planetoid
Calamity custom maps when
I dont think they will
Abyss shouldnt have background walls tbh
it should have a custom background that stretches far into the z axis
that'd look sick
you could just hide them in the walls and floating islands no?
no
oh damn
idt that'll work
the walls make it where there's constantly water in the abyss
Make the acid sea walls produce the water smh
Make the blocks produce water obviously
Make air produce water obviously
Make aureus produce water
they already do
astrum aquarius
so the abyss walls are kinda useless
i agree there should be a background
that would instantly make it like double as creepy
ooo and what if you could see the primordial wyrm back there sometimes like eoc on the surface
that would be peak
silva corpse
praying it happens
manifesting, even
The walls are literally what defines it as an abyss iirc
Like the jungle temple or dungeon
just make it the blocks instead 
that will be bad
accidentally walk too close to the abyss while mining? suffocate in air
or hide the walls inside the tiles
Then the walls cant spawn the water
the sulphur sea walls spawn water
that was my original point
the water already goes into the abyss
Do they? I remember hearing people complaining they dont
i haven't checked since my last playthrough a year and a half ago so i hope they didn't change it
I'd be funny to get unsafe sulfurous walls to place in space above someone's house at the start of a run
Idk
draining abyss kills you still
It can be done with sticky dynamite from a distance
You just gotta want to put effort into it
touching air in the abyss kills you i mean
I know, you can still do it without being in the abyss
Abyss walls still spawn water
Ok, good
Its specificslly acid sea walls
That dont
Also you have to be post skeletron to get access ti the chests and by then theres a few ways to negate the drowning
Will the God of electricity be giving lore to player by speaking?
Ok, I thought she was being added as a new boss
No new bosses will be added until Yharim, a few years from now
π
I'll be fun seeing a spite around the player's size be so strong
Is leviathan anahita's warrior/paladin, like braelor is to silva?
we don't really know
she could be a real animal Anahita tamed or befriended or otherwise commands, she could be something Anahita created
Yharim
Noxus
Xeroc
They the only bosses being considered to be added
