hang on

hard copper
#

Maybe remove weavers armored phase, and have dog do that instead. Imagine the shock of seeing dogs unarmored form when phase 2 starts

arctic cliff
#

no it doesnt mention anything about draedon making more armor for another distortion worm

thick coyote
#

storm weaver is basically just an animal

#

a really strong one

hard copper
#

Yeah

vernal crane
#

hi, seeing the orderbringer rework again,
is there a rework planned for greatsword of judgement?

lapis oak
#

yes

vernal crane
#

YEESSS

lapis oak
#

both got reworked

vernal crane
#

neattttttt old aotc was what drew me to calamity but i didnt have a good computer to play the mod on till after the rework

#

im not sure which i prefer now, but

#

why not both

lapis oak
#

both!!!

#

everything will be absolute cinema

vernal crane
#

do we have any ideas as to what update its comin in?

#

or when>

#

?

summer shore
#

it will be in sso

lapis oak
#

nop

#

oh

vernal crane
lapis oak
#

I thought you were asking when the date drops

#

😢

vernal crane
#

LMAO i was askn that too

summer shore
lapis oak
#

no dates

vernal crane
#

anyways ty

#

oh what about the uh

#

other elemental weapons

summer shore
vernal crane
#

arc and blaster got their reworks

vivid hemlock
#

some are getting resprited, like shiv, axe and eruption

summer shore
#

Like idk some sort of crab shell

vivid hemlock
summer shore
#

Eruption did?

lapis oak
#

yes all of them will get the deserved reworks

#

but for now

summer shore
#

Oh right

lapis oak
#

some will get resprited and name changed in SSO

summer shore
#

Back in flamethrower update

thick coyote
lapis oak
#

no reworks yet

vernal crane
thick coyote
#

but a redesign to make the armor shell like

#

thatd work

vivid hemlock
#

thankfully sso changes that

vernal crane
#

yess

vivid hemlock
#

now the rest still need resprites and reworks

vernal crane
#

no others are comin during SSO?

lapis oak
#

Eruption got resprited? 🤔

vernal crane
vivid hemlock
#

for now i dont think an elemental rework will come in

lapis oak
#

oh right I didn't look at... the chart...

vernal crane
#

neat
the new elementals are amainzing

#

and their

vivid hemlock
#

unless like a programmer decides to

vernal crane
#

whats it calleds

#

like

#

their unique anims

#

are so aweosm

#

when the goddess gorged in flame looks at you funny so you prepare the pizza cutter:

summer shore
#

Superradiant slaughterer

#

Wait til you see its upgrade...

vernal crane
#

its gettin its own AotC?

#

are all of them?

summer shore
#

its getting its own exoblade

thick coyote
#

Elemental weapons upgrade into Miracle Matter weapons

vernal crane
#

ohhh so a miracle matter

thick coyote
#

so it gets that

vernal crane
#

yeah makes sense

vivid hemlock
#

vanishing point -> unnamed miracle spear
augur of the void -> subsuming vortex
nucleosynthesis -> vivid clarity
starbust shiv -> exoblade
legion of celestia -> cosmic immaterializer
planetary annihilation -> heavenly gale
unnamed elemental bomb -> supernova
rebounding rainbow -> celestus
superradiant slaughterer -> unnamed miracle saw launcher
flowers of mortality -> unnamed miracle flower summon
chromatic eruption -> photoviscerator

summer shore
#

This

vivid hemlock
#

basically just this

buoyant pulsar
#

why is purge guzzler

#

called that

summer shore
#

It guzzles purges

lapis oak
#

oh right

#

an Elemental bomb is coming ye

buoyant pulsar
#

are existing names gonna be tweaked at all?

vivid hemlock
#

idk

summer shore
#

hyperradiant laughterer surely

lapis oak
#

probably most just gonna stay the same? 🤔

#

names don't have to be literal

buoyant pulsar
#

what would the exo spear be called

vivid hemlock
#

exoblade is the only one i could see being renamed

summer shore
vernal crane
vivid hemlock
#

miracle matter is being redesigned

vernal crane
#

are all the exo weapons as well?

vivid hemlock
#

no

#

those are from the exo mechs

vernal crane
#

no i mean like

#

exoblade n such

vivid hemlock
#

miracle matter is the stuff made from the material

dense sundial
vernal crane
#

yeah the shadowspec ingredient

lapis oak
#

Exo drops are not Miracle Matter

summer shore
#

The giggler

vivid hemlock
vernal crane
#

aint MM used for shadowspec

summer shore
#

exo prism ≠ miracle matter

vernal crane
#

i know the ashes are

vivid hemlock
#

not mm

vernal crane
#

ahh

#

ig that makes sense

#

so is the exoblade weapon set bein redesigned again?

vivid hemlock
#

miracle matter is the the cube thats used for the building sized weapons

vernal crane
#

im aware, i just got the name of the set wrong 😭

lapis oak
#

yes

#

all of this minus Excalibur

#

redesigned and resprited

vivid hemlock
#

see this is why exoblade needs to be renamed

vernal crane
#

do we know what itll look like?
or the general aesthetic

vivid hemlock
lapis oak
#

oh ye

vernal crane
#

oh

lapis oak
#

we do

vivid hemlock
#

miracle saw launcher as an example

lapis oak
#

they're basically inverse of Elemental

vivid hemlock
#

(i hate reposting this shit every single day)

vernal crane
vivid hemlock
#

no and no

lapis oak
#

whole sheet is redacted (not much is censored anyways)

#

that saw is most of it

vernal crane
#

are they all gonna share this color scheme?

vivid hemlock
#

theres also a wip heavenly gale

vivid hemlock
#

you can just look at it

lapis oak
#

for the Crystals? no, different weapons will have different Crystal colors

vernal crane
#

oooo

lapis oak
#

like the Elemental set

strong isle
vernal crane
#

nicee

vivid hemlock
#

pale branches, black crystals with corresponding colors according to class, blood red energy exhaust

shell sapphire
#

We do have other examples of new miracle matter weapons redesigns wires

lapis oak
#

the bow

vernal crane
vivid hemlock
#

the elemental set is gonna do a similar thing

shell sapphire
#

I think

lapis oak
#

nah

vivid hemlock
#

exoblade wasnt meant to be public

lapis oak
#

sword was edited

shell sapphire
vivid hemlock
#

and yeah its an edit of the actual sprite

lapis oak
#

sword's was Dia's edits

shell sapphire
#

Kk

lapis oak
#

it's not the actual colors Tobias said

shell sapphire
vernal crane
#

but itll be similar to it?

shell sapphire
lapis oak
#

ye it's outdated

shell sapphire
vivid hemlock
vernal crane
#

but the aesthetic's still the same? its just execution thatll change? (like the blaster to the slaughterer)

lyric trellis
# lapis oak

Iridescent Excalibur being the guy nobody invited

lapis oak
#

but because of that we got a yummy sprite 🥹

vernal crane
#

is the draedon armor still planned?

vivid hemlock
#

yes

vernal crane
#

neatttt
is that SSO or after?

vivid hemlock
#

if you need to theres a document in the channels pins where you can find most public info on future content

vivid hemlock
shell sapphire
#

FishLETSFUCKINGGOOOO

lapis oak
#

Draedon armor tier 1 might get in SSO, if they finish it in time

#

the UI tho... 😨

summer shore
#

Can't wait for draedon update 2.0 where they'll rework exos, add exo armor, add exos theme, and rework/resprite all miracle matter stuff

vivid hemlock
fringe quiver
#

draedonious

lapis oak
#

I'm still correct

fringe quiver
#

remember draedon bars? good times...

vivid hemlock
#

also the draedon armor is called exo armor

#

and does not have any tiers

#

silly goose

summer shore
fringe quiver
# lapis oak

what the fuck is that text behind the flamethrower

#

utterly incomprehensible

fringe quiver
#

it is a well established part of cheese lore that cheese is old

#

i miss anomalocaris

summer shore
summer shore
#

Smth smth mihaii didn't know about slaughterer

inner thunder
#

guys they should make menacing and lucky get stronger throughout the game just like warding does

arctic cliff
lapis oak
vivid hemlock

but the art is of the eruption

fringe quiver

mihai had a whole ass villain monologue godamn

zara? like.... zarachard??????

mossy sapphire
#

i mean ig no one cares about it anyways but still

lapis oak
#

it's being changed into the Saw Launcher

dull heart
#

ur a saw launcher

lapis oak
#

D;

agile latch
#

peepothink why would it be weird btw

buoyant pulsar
#

why is lazhar getting removed

#

genuine question

empty yarrow
#

Pretty sure its cause its generic, its just Heat Ray but faster

#

Or cause of Pillar Weapon bloat? Maybe both

barren nacelle
#

I’m curious is the triangle elemental bow still real

lapis oak
#

probably

#

haven't heard any changes about that being scrapped 🤔

dense sundial
#

Vanilla pillar weapons plus meld is enough for me

#

And the upgrades are pretty random too. What do heat ray and horseman’s blade and xenopopper have to do with the pillars?

lyric trellis
#

Coincidentally those are the worst ones by tier and in general

barren nacelle
#

I think conceptually they’re neat, like yeah here’s some weapons made on tier using pillar materials.

#

But I think the most confusing part for me is the fragment choice

#

I think the weapons would be a lot cooler if:

  • They used their class fragments
  • They we’re actually good
buoyant pulsar
#

lazhar uses solar because its heat ray

#

golem is specifically sun energy

lapis oak
#

ye different class weapon uses different fragments is the most bothering part

buoyant pulsar
#

idk i kinda like lazhar being where it is

#

i like the weapon type variety

#

plus lazhar fills a good niche at the specific spot it's in

pulsar cobalt
#

i stg if u say the niche is piercing im gonna die

lyric trellis
#

The reasoning is

“Solar ~ heat/somehow melee
Vortex ~ storm/more vaguely ranged
Nebula ~ explosives/kinda magic
Stardust ~ summons something organic”

pulsar cobalt
#

because single target is not a niche for melee at that stage

buoyant pulsar
#

pierce

pulsar cobalt
lapis oak
#

u tupid

pulsar cobalt
#

i meant mage

#

ur tupid

pulsar cobalt
lapis oak
#

😢

pulsar cobalt
#

its just that a Fuck Ton™️ of ppl still think it pierces for some reason

#

actually i do know the reason

buoyant pulsar
#

gotta be honest i thought it did when i made it like 2 hours ago

pulsar cobalt
#

it used to be heat rays entire identity !

#

and vanilla changed that !!!

lapis oak
#

3 magic guns

#

at that stage

buoyant pulsar
#

the magic guns run in question:

#

yeah im eating good rn lol

#

nano purge is fine, gatling laser is fine, not making swarmer

#

wingman was awesome

#

probably still good but not better than lazhar

cobalt wharf
#

lazhar is just the exact same as heat ray except it spawns a vanilla explosion projectile on hit

buoyant pulsar
#

i like the burst damage from the grenades but the startup after firing them is too long imo

pulsar cobalt
cobalt wharf
#

waow debuff

buoyant pulsar
#

also it uhhhh has spread

lapis oak
#

😨

lyric trellis
#

It does stuff

lapis oak
#

I would like to save that spot for a more unique weapon honestly

acoustic shell
#

Im here again to further support this

#

This would be so dope and you guys could make the evil biomes spread even harder than hardmode activation to fit the preferators / hive mind replacement

lapis oak
#

👎

#

biome spread is one of the worst mechanics

vivid hemlock
#

trauma reaction to seeing this image again

acoustic shell
dusty tinsel
#

Biome spread is bad this is why I use the evil begon mod so it stops the spread

acoustic shell
#

Lazy

acoustic shell
#

It would be for the better but like people r hoarders and cant move on

hard copper
#

I like to take my time with my playthrough and would rather not have the evil biomes on my ass the whole time, that isnt fun

vivid hemlock
#

me when my desert is engulfed by evil biome spread

acoustic shell
#

Well maybe the evil biomes could just become harsher instead of spreading

#

if the boss placement changes do happen

fringe quiver
#

why do u keep gassing up an idea developers havent shown any interest on and everyone told u isnt good

#

just like move on man

acoustic shell
fringe quiver
#

😭 ?

#

who said that dawg

vivid hemlock
#

no one likes evil biome spread

acoustic shell
#

Triangle

acoustic shell
#

I meant this

acoustic shell
fringe quiver
#

i'm not talking about the boss swap

pulsar cobalt
fringe quiver
#

thats a cool and awesome and good idea that is in fact liked by most developers

pulsar cobalt
dusty tinsel
#

Why did you post that again and not just reply to it lol

fringe quiver
#

im talking about you repeatedly gassing up your own biome spread idea

acoustic shell
#

Nono the biome spread i understand

fringe quiver
vivid hemlock
#

this channel makes me want to start taking hard liquor

acoustic shell
#

I meant like the biomes could become harsher post ml

fringe quiver
#

oh just like

acoustic shell
fringe quiver
#

new enemies and stuff

#

yea thatll probably happen

vivid hemlock
fringe quiver
#

theres 1 concept art for a post ml crimson enemy already

dusty tinsel
#

Biome spread should be nuked

lapis oak
#

even Don't Starve, a hardcore survival game with its strictly time based limit for a lot of stuff doesn't even have this terrible spreading mechanic 😨

acoustic shell
lapis oak
#

why would I ever want this, terrible thing to spread faster in my sandbox game

vivid hemlock
#

generally more lategame content is healthy

acoustic shell
#

i hope it isn't just a random boss tho and has some sort of theme

vivid hemlock
#

since its so

#

empty

#

right now

#

especially enemies

fringe quiver
#

6 enemies

#

🙏

acoustic shell
#

Im mostly hyped to see the new designs for preferators and hive mind if they do go post moon lord

acoustic shell
vivid hemlock
#

devs i need an arch wyvern in post ml for literally no reason please

dusty tinsel
#

Perforator is gonna be like a hydra looking thing

#

But crimsonified

dull heart
#

the oracle has aura

acoustic shell
#

I do wonder if you guys will rework the music to be more vanilla, but it seems that fables is already doing that and not gonna lie redoing calamity's music would be a crime

fringe quiver
#

no sorry perforators will just be eater of worlds but red

dull heart
#

yeah uh

hard copper
#

auracle?

fringe quiver
#

it iwll be called perforator (singular)

dull heart
#

we cannot replace any of the dokuro music

vivid hemlock
#

hivemind is brain of cthulhu but green

dusty tinsel
lapis oak
#

replacing Dokuro music???

dull heart
#

that would be just about the worst decision we could make

fringe quiver
#

calsad

lapis oak
#

insane person

vivid hemlock
#

calamity will not go for vanilla style music

fringe quiver
#

there are a few songs that could probably be replaced but its only a very few of them that dont really fit with the bosses

#

aka servants of the scourge

vivid hemlock
#

id recommend fables and spirit for that

flat vine
vivid hemlock
#

they have very good vanilla style tracks

dull heart
#

i will stab whoever replaces servants of the scourge

flat vine
#

Not being rude just curious

pulsar cobalt
dull heart
lapis oak
#

I'll stab you for disagree with wanting to keep it

flat vine
#

Eulogy of the ego is a track I don’t see many people giving praises

#

It’s a goated track

pulsar cobalt
#

IDIOT

fringe quiver
#

its a good song but it also makes all of them feel like glorified minibosses with how they're all incredibly similar and just smaller covers of the theme of a later boss 💔

lapis oak
#

😭

vivid hemlock
dull heart
#

like there's very few things that would get more people mad at calamity than killing a dokuro song

fringe quiver
#

servants of the scourge worked well for what it was

thick coyote
#

people really see servants of the scourge in the title and say "this is the most unfitting music ever" even though at this point the musical motifs are for the distortion and not exclusively for DoG

pulsar cobalt
flat vine
dusty tinsel
#

Clearly what needs to happen is have dokuro make the songs that replace them clueless

dull heart
#

what if

celest cape
#

I just kinda have TMod muted so I can play my own stuff. shrug

dull heart
#

the scourge

fringe quiver
#

like yeah

dusty tinsel
#

Noxus is the scourge now

dull heart
#

is the friends we made along the way

fringe quiver
#

you could argue its more of a distortion motif!

#

but also

#

the songs are like

flat vine
#

The real calamity were the friends we made along the way

pulsar cobalt
#

identical

fringe quiver
#

all incredibly similar to eachother and are literally covers of devourer's theme

pulsar cobalt
#

theyre fucking identical is wat they are

fringe quiver
#

it's not just using the motif it's literally covers

celest cape
pulsar cobalt
#

u could switch them and u wouldnt notice

dull heart
#

I would

thick coyote
#

i dont really care it still works and gives the distortion bosses a very distinct audio identity

dull heart
#

(not for Signus)

thick coyote
#

also yes i would notice

flat vine
#

I just wonder what “theme” of music yharim would be whenever he comes out

dull heart
#

But I would notice void for sure

lapis oak
#

I would notice

dull heart
#

Probably weaver

lapis oak
#

Tuki is not real

#

😇

pulsar cobalt
fringe quiver
#

You can preserve the same audio identity by using motifs in way that fits with their identity rather

vivid hemlock

#

Calamity sundowner

dull heart

🥰

pulsar cobalt
#

who is real and requires electrons is a person called kiri

lapis oak
thick coyote
#

just to check i named what instument all of the kos bosses used and i got it right

acoustic shell
thick coyote
#

so yeah i would notice

acoustic shell
#

Fables is like vanilla + I love it

celest cape
#

I feel like I'm the only one that mutes TMod and plays my own stuff. Every time I say that in a server, everybody acts like I'm a psycho over it.

Does anyone know how far sunken sea will go in the new update

#

Like

fringe quiver
#

hell

pulsar cobalt
#

sidetracked the goat

fringe quiver
#

almost all the way down to hell

acoustic shell
#

I hope its wider too

#

I wonder when it drops

vivid hemlock
#

it doesnt really need to be

#

that much wider

fringe quiver
acoustic shell
lapis oak
#

already as wide as the desert no needs to be wider than that

vivid hemlock
#

like the sunken sea does not have the issue of being thin like the abyss

flat vine
#

It would be funny if we had an item like “nostalgia goggles” and they just made items / bosses when applicable use those OG designs XD

fringe quiver
#

the animations in question

thick coyote
acoustic shell
fringe quiver
#

damn spot on

acoustic shell
#

And idgaf

thick coyote
#

your discord tag is fortnite, lucky guess, I suppose

acoustic shell
#

I have a question for devs

#

btw

celest cape
pulsar cobalt
flat vine
acoustic shell
#

Chill

#

Anyway

#

I have a question for a dev that does not regard spoilers

fringe quiver
#

the new iterations of the bosses have anims the old ones dontlol

celest cape
acoustic shell
#

Is mod development / pace going faster now that Fabsol is gone?

#

Question for devs

celest cape
acoustic shell
#

Obviously you have more freedom but is development going faster

thick coyote
#

impossible to say because a bunch of devs got a bit inspiration boost but also deltrarune happened

flat vine
#

^ we love cal cast

fringe quiver
#

fabsol leaves, significantly amping up productivity and efficiency
deltarune comes out and immediately lowers productivity

we live in a calamity

vivid hemlock
#

the issue with fab was mainly the bosses

#

and well

thick coyote
acoustic shell
#

Soo like

flat vine
#

Truly calamitous times

acoustic shell
#

Alr

vivid hemlock
#

since they can actually make good bosses now

fringe quiver
#

It means more freedom + Alot of devs just generally got a morale boost due to said freedom

vivid hemlock
#

its gonna take more time to well, design said bosses

acoustic shell
#

I feel like all that cool concept art and inspiration is already far too gone now, I mean half the team is on fables now

#

Is that true?

#

Or is everyone like cooking again

thick coyote
#

what

vivid hemlock
#

but theres also the motivation boost from fab leaving

stuck kite
#

deltarune dropped and then hades ii update dropped... we're eating good and totally doing stuff

fringe quiver
#

The fables team and the calmain team are entirely separate

flat vine
fringe quiver
#

the fables team diverged in 22, they have their own plans and art, and the calmain team has their won separate plans and art

lapis oak
#

those are old devs

acoustic shell
lapis oak
#

not current devs

vivid hemlock
#

fables has been split for years bro

thick coyote
#

is this fables narrative a red nation specialty

celest cape
#

I'm just glad Astrum Aureus even has the chance of getting a rework. Because oh my god it needs it, that boss is so bad. That boss has needed touching up ever since it came out, in my opinion. Awful boss.

acoustic shell
#

Thought it was like this year

vivid hemlock
#

😭

fringe quiver
#

no that was '22

#

which

#

i dont actually know if it was in 2022

#

i think it wasnt

#

forgot when it was

#

but it was a good few years ago

summer shore

december 2022

lapis oak
#

Fables has been in development for years now

flat vine
#

The one change I pray for is letting us use the glorious end without the summon dmg nerf

#

Please I pray

fringe quiver
#

ok so it was 22 devs leaving in 2022

#

funny

summer shore
acoustic shell
#

I wish the two teams combined and just cooked bro imagine the productivity

#

Someone had to say ts

fringe quiver
#

no

lapis oak
#

not happening sorry

fringe quiver
#

they have entirely separate plans and visions for the mod

lapis oak
#

many have already said this

flat vine
acoustic shell
#

ik

thick coyote
#

Bigger teams can actually be less productive

fringe quiver
#

theyre each doing their own thing

vivid hemlock
#

they have very different end goals and philosophies

fringe quiver
#

the teams fusing would literally just be bad for both of them because theres entirely conflicting visions here, it'd make productivity worse

#

more people is not always better

#

let fables devs do their thing and let calmain devs do their own

flat vine
#

I mean, Infernum is kinda like fables if you squint and like getting your ass punted 6 feet under

fringe quiver
#

👍

celest cape
#

Assemble a top list of the bosses in Calamity that need a serious upgrade, Aureus makes the top five easily.

lapis oak
#

not even close

acoustic shell
#

Is the slime god rework in sso?

lapis oak
#

Aureus is one of the better bosses

vivid hemlock
acoustic shell

these are both ravager

left is fables, right is calmain

For ravager

flat vine

i have no idea what that is

I DESPISE that motherfucker.

vivid hemlock

i feel like

there are better bosses to hate on

Aureus is a white noise boss

I realyl hope u guys make the change

This one

oh my god

acoustic shell

Is it like confirmed or na

For my Mod

Carcinogen

That's another thing the Astral bosses share, they both suck.

i wish i had mod dev skills

I’ve been playing cal for almost 8+ years and I’m now just finding out aureus is a spider?

Sorry, I've just had a burning- Like ever since they took away the 11 worms thing Deus has just gone so many ranks down in my eyes.

It wasn't technically better, it was still sort of lazy and it was still projectile spam, but christ Pre-R&D Deus was at least somewhat fun.

I think Deus can work as a worm if it leans more into splitting and reforming an being sorta formless? Like a living star constellation almost

As someone put it here recently, you could turn Deus into a molten worm and palette swap projectiles and you'd never know it was meant to originally be a star god boss

celest cape

I absolutely hate it when people go "Let's redesign this Calamity boss." And they just turn it into like, a dude in armor with spells or something. I've seen people do that to both Astrum Deus and Signus, and it's just like...oh my fucking god, you really just have zero creativity huh?

Personally it took a bit for me to figure out what to turn Deus into that wasnt just another metal worm

This is sort of a bone I've had to pick with Calamity for a long time, feel free to chime in yourselves on this.

With a fair few of these bosses, Astrum Deus included, the way they were made genuinely gives off the impression that the people behind them just had zero ideas whatsoever.
