lavish otter
#

Who's Shinryu?

fringe quiver
#

Was a name reb proposed for OD for 0.17 seconds

nocturne crater

tf is shinryu

nocturne crater
summer shore
#

Shinryu is a silly name it's literally just shin (true/new) ryu (dragon)

nocturne crater
#

Ryu is dragon

nocturne crater
plush carbon
#

Fell Progeny Shinryu is so funny

cunning sequoia
#

its just kinda bland

summer shore
#

It's either new or true

#

Probably not true

#

Maybe new

nocturne crater
plush carbon
#

but he's not new

#

he's Old

summer shore
#

exactly

lavish otter
#

Old Duke, after its immense amount of changes, has now become Young and Fresh Duke

plush carbon
#

How do you come up with a worse name than Old Duke

cunning sequoia
#

typically first thoughts arent

#

well

#

thought through

plush carbon
#

It reminds me of the first name I thought of for an OC related to parallel realities

Old Duke, after its immense amount of changes, has now become Young and Fresh "not even a duke at all"

lavish otter

Young, Fresh, and Dukeless

#

Am I the only one that's satisfied with current calamity

vivid hemlock
#

Yes

hushed hazel
#

Probably not

#

But in terms of people here right now yes

urban cloak
#

There's definitely a lot of people both here and outside of this server that are satisifed with Calamity

#

The ones who aren't are just more vocal in this server

azure oak
#

calamity's still pretty fun rn so i can see why people would be satisfied with it

tropic pawn
#

Dont get me wrong I thoroughly welcome new changes
But I dont think things that are being changed were as bad as they're said to be

lavish otter
azure oak
#

but having stuff to do other than beating some just kinda alright bosses would make a playthrough feel a lot more... idk, "complete"?

vivid hemlock
#

see, a big issue with current calamity is that i feel like im playing a mod from like 2020, in 2025

azure oak
#

true

lavish otter
tropic pawn
#

It's also worth mentioning I haven't been playing Calamity for that long... a year at most? It was like a month after DS got resprited when I started.

azure oak
#

the resprite happened on may 10th last year

#

byeah calamity's remained pretty stagnant

lavish otter
#

God damn- it's been that long already?

azure oak
#

oh wait right the countdown

#

67 days until time between BH and SSO part 1 is longer than between R&D and draedon update

vivid hemlock
azure oak
#

true

hoary trench

tropic pawn

#

especially the bosses

hard hearth
#

well, current calam not so much

#

but there have been plenty of points that i thought it was satisfying

indigo fog
#

If we get those planned boss tier swap changes my life would be theirs

hard hearth
#

and then fab added (insert dogshit here) and ruined everything

#

like malicious

pseudo vector
#

i don't think i heard about anyone liking malice mode

wooden blade
#

i find it funny how there's a big chunk of people on the subreddit who want malice mode back, even though it was dogshit

pseudo vector
#

it was just unnecessarily hard for no reason

#

and just plain unfun

#

personal preference-wise i play on rev because it's hard but not a huge struggle

wooden blade
#

yeah at first i was like "but it's just a mode you choose after finishing a boss just so you can fight them back in a harder position" then i looked at it more and more and got reminded of how absolutely dogwater the mode was

urban cloak
#

Was the refight thing even real

wooden blade
#

like it would've been fine if it was REALLY difficult but fun then yeah why not

dense sundial
urban cloak
#

I swear I remember hearing that was just smth made up quickly after it released to justify it

wooden blade

i think i still have a screenshot for it

pseudo vector
dense sundial
#

I said Death, not Master-Rev+

hard hearth
#

it was, essentially, cope

dense sundial
#

Oblivion and Foveanator are Master-Rev+ things

wooden blade
#

is it bad if i said that death master prime was the only moment where i used godmode?

#

istg the fight was impossible

i think calamity and fortnite should collab

there's a lot of really cool stuff going on with a lot of mage weapons

as someone who hadn't played terraria actively in a long time i haven't had this much fun in forever

idt weve ever played terraria together in the 7 years weve known eachtoehr

this is just like silksong where even a fraction of news is amazing to hear

actually idt weve played a single game besides phasmophobia

lets go, the update is fun!!

that's surprising tbh

#

you hop in vc a lot when im playing things idk if youve hopped on with us tho

#

oh shit actually weve played roblox together be4

wooden blade

ok ok, might check it out once the update releases

pseudo vector
#

i've been sinking my teeth into testing stuff again these past few days

wicked lotus
wooden blade
#

yeah exactly lmfao

grim cloud
#

Tank builds are also kinda refreshing

wooden blade
#

melee is fun af when your weapons aren't just "sword throws projectiles"

grim cloud
#

I usually play glass cannon builds

pseudo vector
#

i've been playtesting some boss-related stuff and getting my shit kicked in on rev

wooden blade
#

there's a good chunk of melee weapons that make you interact with the boss more and i like it

#

did the difficulty increase in rev now?

grim cloud
wooden blade
pseudo vector
#

i haven't played through the whole game on rev yet, i might do that in the future

wooden blade
grim cloud
wooden blade
#

that's true

#

but like post ml i still have the impression that i die quickly

#

maybe i didn't have a good tank build idk

wicked lotus
# grim cloud Tank builds are also kinda refreshing

Ya, slapping warding on everything and actually not die in 2-3 hits feels really nice. Biome blade and the ark swords are peak too
Now that I'm playing ranger rn, it does not feel that fun in comparison

wooden blade
#

ranger fucking sucks btw am sorry

grim cloud
wooden blade
#

it's one of the only times i was fucking tired of a playthrough

grim cloud
grim cloud
#

Ranger is just "me like big gun. Big gun shoot good"

wooden blade
#

like there's a few good weapons but the rest feel boring imo

wicked lotus
#

Honestly, just decided to play ranger to try the buzzkill/blaster reworks, but overall it feels the exact same as the other ranger playthrough I had like 2 years ago 💀

grim cloud
#

I heard ranger gets a lot of new stuff in SSO

grim cloud
#

It's fantastic at crowd control, but you don't have any issues with that anyway

hard hearth
wooden blade
#

summoner kinda has this but atleast it's fun

hard hearth
#

ranger is fun...

#

smn is snrrrrk mimimimimi

wooden blade
#

i totally respect that lmao i just don't like it personally

pseudo vector
#

only 5-6 of these were winning attempts btw, including the duration shown here lol

#

i've been putting in some work

wicked lotus
#

We need more weapons for ranger like the crackshot colt and midas prime

grim cloud
# hard hearth didnt you just describe like almost every class

Eeeh, melee wants you to get closer for big damage. Summoner too. Rogue has stealth so you need to time attacks (or consider if you want to alternate). Mage has just more diversity in weapons to keep stuff interesting.
Ranger though? Gun brrrrt. I can see the appeal, but it gets stale

hard hearth
#

melee hardly wants you to be close for big damage unless tmelee or the gimmick swords which are rare

grim cloud
pseudo vector
#

not saying who, it was on rev tho

grim cloud
#

Sheesh

indigo fog
#

This is yharim he's just been hidden from us expertly

hard hearth
#

smn is already outdpsing every class without adding whips into the mix

wicked lotus
#

3 minute fight probably means post-moon lord

wooden blade
mystic eagle
hard hearth
#

mage is fun cause the weapons are visually interesting yea

#

just wish it was a bit more powerful..

wooden blade
#

agreed

hard hearth
#

summoner does NOT need to take any risk

grim cloud
hard hearth
#

take whips out of the equation you're still outdpsing almost everything other than some tiers vs stealth rogue

mystic eagle
wooden blade
#

bro summoners are like, the representation itself of glass canon

hard hearth
#

no?

wicked lotus
hard hearth
#

tankiness is mostly acc based not armor based

grim cloud
hard hearth
#

you're a tank if you put tank accs

grim cloud
#

Ranger needs more of that

hard hearth
#

regardless of class

wooden blade
#

really?

mystic eagle
valid crypt
#

And summoner has atleast like 3 sets with tank armour anyways

valid crypt
wooden blade
#

i felt more tanky playing mage or melee than summoner

mystic eagle
#

Its best use varies per situation

wooden blade
#

like atleast i died in 3 or 4 hits

grim cloud
wooden blade
#

i died in 2 with summoner

hard hearth
#

you were using more summon accs then

mystic eagle
#

But overall the best way is to stay at TMelee range, continuously charge until the most powerful saw and release

hard hearth
#

rather than tank accs

wooden blade
#

yeah prolly

pulsar cobalt
#

summoner barely has less defense than other classes in most stages of the game

mystic eagle
#

Infact Summoner has the most defense in alot of stages

wooden blade

i find it hard to believe, how

Silva Armor still has revives

wicked lotus

Oh right, it still exists (did not play mage/summoner yet)

mystic eagle

(with Silva Wings, but, you're basically always using those)

pulsar cobalt

somehow

fucking fearmongerer just gives u a bajillion life regen

not like i’m using the world for anything else really

#

my main world i actually put time into

no

#

I don't think so

doze would it be worth fighting exos lol

dull heart
#

I like exos personally

most of the others just tell me no usually LMAO

mystic eagle
pseudo vector
#

i’d have to equip the necessary stuff

#

and stock away my current playtesting kit

barren nacelle
#

Oh it’s hitting something okay

#

Or firing something

pseudo vector
#

i don’t think my arena will need much of a retrofit to suit them tho, at least i hope not lol

pulsar cobalt

never fought

#

lmao

fringe quiver

i mean

pseudo vector
#

i fought them and beat them like 3 years ago

:p

dull heart

i didn’t playtest them at all back then either LMAO

barren nacelle

Cheese we need to do a calamity play through or something wdym you haven’t beaten it

Cheese are you busy this afternoon / evening

im forcing u to play through every mod ever

i cant play calamity dawg ill die

the only part of terraria i just outright dislike is early pre-hardmode

fringe quiver
#

death caused by 50000 boss fights and 0 actual content

#

specifically post golem i mean

#

before that its fine actually

#

i like pre hardmode calamity. that ones nice.

barren nacelle
#

I’ll carry you idfk hop in VC later and we’ll play calamity

#

This isn’t an offer or a request I’m going to whip you

fringe quiver

Okay that works

lavish otter

cucumber

#

dried cucumber scourge my bloeved

pseudo vector

i’ll probably just have sunny or smth tell me what weapons and accessories i’ll need to make exos a bit more tolerable cuz they’ve helped me with other bosses previously

fringe quiver
#

ok yk what

#

i feel challenged

dull heart
#

trust I got you

fringe quiver
#

im gonna beat that mf bee today

lavish otter
#

Actually funny enough, I have a slight attachment to that DS sprite because I think it was the first thing I ever saw from Calamity, and at the time, I was like "Oh wow, that looks so cool!"

pseudo vector
#

as a mage btw

#

i’ve only ever fought the exos as a ranger

#

never as a mage

hushed hazel
#

spunch bop

dense sundial

#

And also just because i think it's funny looking

#

Idk it's just a cucumber

lyric trellis
#

Mage with it’s 2 accessories

dense sundial
#

imagine making music that fits Fabsolian Sludge and then the boss gets entirely done over

lavish otter
#

The last variation to keep that ancient detail, I think

pseudo vector
#

considering how much most of the team dislikes exos i would not be surprised if exos is one of the first targets for reworks lol

azure oak
#

they deserve a rework

pseudo vector
#

i’ll need to refight them to see if their hatred is warranted

fringe quiver
#

I like cucumber scourge

plush carbon
#

fabsol would've never let Exos be reworked

fringe quiver
#

He may not really be a very interesting design or anything but i'm attached

azure oak
#

personally i dont actually mind their designs

fringe quiver
#

He's not that good but i like him

plush carbon
#

He defended this boss in particular to hell and back

flat folio
#

I need Artemis and Apollo to be made more active movement-wise..

azure oak
#

i just think more needs to be done with the bosses themselves

#

this

fringe quiver
#

The boss have actually good designs its just the fight that's bad, i think

pseudo vector
#

i would maybe fight WOTM exos but those mfs scare me

fringe quiver

Like the visual design is good

raw falcon

wasnt artermis lobotomized or sum

it's the fight design that isnt

lavish otter

wotm is terrifying to watch

#

and gave it a gradient colour

pseudo vector
#

like i put my exos theme over it for fun one night and i was like “this actually works so well what”

barren nacelle
#

The fight is just flashy effects and projectile vomit

azure oak
#

a tag team fight against the magnum opera of the smartest man robot thing in the would should be sick as hell

raw falcon
#

but its not

lavish otter
plush carbon
#

The exos are supposed to have synergy with eachother
They just don't

#

He forgot to actually add that part

flat folio
#

The synergy is that they slow down a bit when together in terms of things like projectile shoot rates and speeds iirc

raw falcon
#

the exos just independently projectile vomit at you, its just that there so happens to be multiple on screen at once

plush carbon
#

How innovative

lavish otter
pulsar cobalt
#

just be auric tier

azure oak
#

magnet thanatos would be nice

Auric is yellow and blue I think

#

byeah first impressions are important but it's also nice when something ends on a high note

wicked lotus
vivid hemlock
#

calamity devs should get like a blood red role to symbolize how theyre all evil

dense sundial
azure oak
#

the concept of the fight itself is good

dense sundial
#

wdym

wicked lotus
#

Exos are a good design, is basically like an intended mecha mayhem. Only thing missing is actually balancing the fight and giving it the "intended"

azure oak
#

i mean the absolute basics

#

there's multiple mechs and they switch in and out through the fight

#

which could lead to a hectic but fun fight and fun combo attacks

#

the problem is that jack shit is done with the idea

dense sundial
#

ah yeah i suppose that checks

azure oak
#

they aren't "working together" they just so happen to be on the screen at the same time

dense sundial
#

for me it's just the fact they're vanilla boss again, especially releasing right after old duke of all bosses

twin juniper
#

Give ares melee attacks cause prime and tron got it

wicked lotus
#

Old duke needs to go. He's gotten too old

vivid hemlock
#

fish of theseus

dense sundial
#

exos but it's just ares and leans more into the samurai and gundam inspirations...

flat folio
#

I think it's a contrast of the mechanical versus the thematic/creative

There are gud mechanical ideas you can do with the robot synergy
But at the same time it is a bit uninspired for it to be mech bosses the sequel at the root, even if the artists did a gud job at going beyond that

azure oak
#

more could probably be done with "mech bosses pushed to their absolute limits" but they really are just mech bosses 2

exo mechs should fr be a early post ml boss... uninspired ahh concept

hard hearth

There is a good concept there about contacting draedon and fight his magnum opus, but I think exos should be earlier than this, and the magnum opus could be a different boss

the Andromeda in the corner of the room:

modern grove

exos just should be cool ass robots that are not mechs 2

dense sundial

there's no reason to keep them if draedon has something better

hard hearth
modern grove
#

you can do so much with cool robots! It's like one of the broadest creative fields ever! you dont need to return them to the boss concepts that we've seen in the game 2 times already basically

lyric trellis
#

Exos are a terrible concept literally based off a 10+ year old mod but the execution of their designs is so good that I think it’s fine (for Ares and Twins anyway)

remember that DoG came out at the very top of those polls

plush carbon

people thought DoG was absolute cinema 5 years ago

hushed hazel

and look at where he is now

Yeah

He didnt ruin dog

DoG is still the same jand as always

We just got better eyes

also yharon was near the top as well iirc

PBG should have minions tbh

modders first attempt at making a boss fight

old dog was so simple though

agile latch
hard hearth

you seem to think change in all aspects is good

cunning sequoia

ig it was good for 2018

hard hearth

because its change

Good change and improvementspeepowegud

Not just change for the sake of it

hard hearth

Current indev DoG

A lot better

astronomically common doze W

how spaghettified was the code

Well it is still current DoG

But its a lot better now

dull heart

oh

hard hearth
lyric trellis
#

DoG is still going to hell sorry

wooden blade
#

from the doc it said that it was going to be more focused on close combat so idk if it's kept

still waiting for yharon's un-fishronification

hard hearth
agile latch
lyric trellis
#

True

thick coyote
hard hearth
#

you shouldve played some shitpacks back in the day

agile latch
#

Yharon do be in a better spot than DoG tho

#

Any boss is in a better spot

dull heart
#

But yes

wooden blade
hard hearth
#

that would make you appreciate some of the good even more

dull heart
#

I missed a lot of the bad bad stuff

agile latch
#

Ancients awakened

thick coyote
lyric trellis
#

Have to imagine at least half of the pre-2020 cal bosses were still worse than indev dog 💔

final pine
#

rust and dust did a bit but also the boss is kind of just repetitive fire spam ooo

hard hearth
#

aa wasnt bad enough to be considered for the shitpack

thick coyote
#

they're just touching up the curent fight its not the full rework

wooden blade
hard hearth
#

for comparison

agile latch
#

Calamity bosses are still stuck on the stuff ancients awakened had in 2020gulpsplosion

wooden blade
#

ohh ok ok

hard hearth
#

tremor was the most polished mod

wooden blade
#

i get it then*

Dog was boring and also it could just

And its not like deus which you can just ignore

pulsar cobalt
dull heart

mhm

#

sure

hard hearth

esp cause it could kill through godmode cause fab had an aneurysm everytime someone did that

pulsar cobalt

its an old nohit of dog from 1.3 calamity (this was 2018)

plush carbon

tsuki foiled again

dense sundial
#

DUDE

dull heart
#

no

dense sundial
#

dog still interacts with platforms i think

dull heart
#

yes

agile latch
#

He does..

wooden blade
#

again i still think the reason people loved dog before is because we had pretty low standarts, we didn't have mind blowing bosses like now

agile latch
#

I wish he wouldnt but itspeeposhrug

wooden blade

(and its music being iconic now)

agile latch

Guy is a cosmic worm, why he is walking in platforms

not in calamity

agile latch
#

Everything

wicked lotus
hard hearth
#

its a lot of visual spectacle

dense sundial
#

i'm assuming they didn't mean calamity

agile latch
#

It didnt change only for sprites like a certain user said

thick coyote
#

closest this mod comes to mind blowing boss is Scal brothers phase

agile latch
#

Like how shpc was seem as peak weapon back there

#

Or rust and dust intrisicate dust patterns being seen as cool

mystic eagle
hard hearth
#

gameplay wise most bosses are still very basic-ey in most mods

thick coyote
#

i feel like guardians are so boring though

plush carbon
#

mind blowing is a stretch for guardians

dull heart
#

the fact fabsol coded profaned Guardians and then

thick coyote
#

I dont remember anything about the guardians fight

#

they just die

dull heart
#

also coded dog and new PBG

#

is so weird

final pine
#

they're not supposed to be magnificent but they aren't bad by any means

hard hearth
#

people just learned to use flashy colors to hide it

wooden blade
plush carbon
#

they're Good but not mind blowing

hard hearth
#

and wow the public

final pine
#

i quite liked guardians

mystic eagle
#

New guardians are actually good UNLIKE SOME BOSSES I KNOW

#

They're forgettable, sure

lyric trellis
wooden blade
#

only exception being scal and and maybe providence (even her is a copy of ice queen)

mystic eagle
#

But atleast they're really well designed

final pine
#

i feel like providence is a bit spammy

dense sundial
plush carbon
dull heart
#

I don't like guardian commander phase

agile latch
dull heart
#

otherwise guardians is good

hard hearth
#

update what

#

their gameplay?

agile latch
#

I mean getting updates

hard hearth
#

oh

wooden blade
agile latch
#

In general

hard hearth
#

ehh even new mods coming out

#

tbh

agile latch
#

Check the new mods that released nowadays or the ones that are still being updated

dull heart
#

I need to play SLE

#

SLR

final pine
#

providence imo is like 'big fire big magma ooo circles', there isn't really anything unique about it and the fact that it's one of the mod's best fights isn't a good sign

agile latch
#

Fargos, fables, wrath, spirit, MoR

mystic eagle
dense sundial
#

basically all i think of guards is they're very boring and mildly janky

mystic eagle
#

It certainly has a low health bar for a defender

hard hearth
#

starlight river is the example that comes to mind for me yea

agile latch
#

Wouldnt call their bossfights simple by your standards at all

#

(Their new ones)

lyric trellis
hard hearth
#

its a lot of visual spectacle

lyric trellis
#

Until sso happens

dull heart
#

I don't like Commander because he's so anti true melee it's sad

plush carbon
#

The thing with the Guardians fight is that they have no clue how to organise themselves

agile latch
final pine
#

scal is like completely anti tmelee

agile latch
#

If you are still using slr as a basis it means you are very outdated

plush carbon
#

Why is the Healer not being protected AT ALL while the Commander sits doing nothing

dense sundial
#

oh we have an explicitly pro-melee-design cal dev? goated?

cunning sequoia
hard hearth
wooden blade
hard hearth
#

granted 3 years is a decent chunk

agile latch

Even polarities that came in 2021 had more complex stuff

final pine
wooden blade
#

am thinking about lucille's exos for example

pseudo vector
#

which older version of dog was the super aggressive one

#

i forget

dense sundial
#

1.5.1

final pine
#

that's all i know

agile latch
hard hearth
#

but ive seen javyz showcasing his bosses from fargos souls and dlc

mystic eagle
#

imo the Guardian Defender should have it's health increased by 30% and the Commander decreased by 30%

agile latch
pulsar cobalt
plush carbon
#

Guardian Commander is straight up incompetent and its really funny

i said i played them back in 2022

the only time something actually fucking happens is laser walls and dog pulling out a flamethrower with no indication

recent i was talking about slr

Doze can you please touch up Calamitas Clone next

pulsar cobalt

agile latch
#

Shadows of abbadon too

please check what i type 😭

dense sundial
#

honestly i played slr and didn't really care for it at all, with the exception of glassweaver

#

glassweaver is awesome

summer shore
agile latch
#

I think from what i saw in previews

summer shore
#

I think people gatekeeping what's fun for other people is crazy

agile latch
dull heart
#

is glassweaver the demo boss

pulsar cobalt
dull heart
#

Haven't played since the demo

agile latch
#

I can even use more unknown mods as example

summer shore
#

I can totally understand why ein finds them fun, because I do too sometimes

wooden blade
agile latch
#

That are real nowadays

dense sundial

#

Ah

#

ok

agile latch
wooden blade
#

i respect it, i just don't like him

dull heart

That sounds right

summer shore

I love cal clone, rav, yharon,

agile latch

Just dont act like its perfect

glassweaver is the beetle dude who starts the fight with enemy waves

aureus

lyric trellis
agile latch
#

The ultimate high standards

summer shore
#

It isn't perfect yes

agile latch
#

And that other mods follow it too when they dont

i already said perfect was an exageration

Shadows of Abaddon XD

agile latch
hard hearth

idk

wooden blade

#

I'm curious about something by the way, what were the changes that were made with indev DoG, anyways? Because I thought it was just DoG but without the lasers

wooden blade
#

now i wonder what a "perfect boss" would bee

dull heart
#

Yes

#

It was

#

Well

agile latch
lavish otter
#

I mean yeah, that sounds pretty shit, but not as bad as it's being described

dull heart
#

actually no, laser walls were less common too

agile latch
#

Jk, nothing is perfect..

summer shore
#

There is no perfect boss everything subjective

agile latch
#

But fables DS is really really great

hard hearth
#

i feel like when i play any content mod the boss fights themselves dont really offer anything mindblowing in terms of what to do to beat them

summer shore
#

The curse

agile latch
cunning sequoia

you get it...

its all just oh this is more pretty than the last

I don't see how people can hate cal clone in its current form I think she's very fun

Sir nautilus is p great too

when will aureus not be a and d key simulator 2k19

cunning sequoia
#

i want to like calclone but it always feels more like im fighting twins again than a new boss

#

its like

summer shore
#

It never felt that way for me

cunning sequoia
#

especially apparent with her

plush carbon
#

cal clone is really unloved

cunning sequoia
#

because twins are actually fun

summer shore
#

But also I'm weird so

cunning sequoia
#

and so calclone is also fun

final pine
#

i do like calclone even if i don't really like mandatory invincibility phases

cunning sequoia
#

but for the wrong reasons

flat folio
#

Designing bosses blackens the heart and withers the soul, I'm afraid

agile latch
#

True

dull heart
#

My issue with clone is

hard hearth
#

i also dont think i fought twins when fighting clone

wooden blade
cunning sequoia
#

unlike smth like ravager which i dislike for reasons unrelated to it being a copy of golem

pseudo vector
#

clonelamitas was pretty cool last time i fought her, i did beat her first try if i remember correctly

dull heart
#

Her non BH attacks are such a nothingburger

agile latch
hard hearth
#

maybe back when she summoned 4 brothers

lavish otter
#

Also honestly, I've never particularly "had fun" with CalClone because when I fight her, she isn't onscreen 80% of the time

hard hearth
#

that was abhorrent

#

eugh

agile latch
wooden blade
agile latch
#

Let me check the roadmap

cunning sequoia

i want calclone to be better more than basically every other boss
