Shinryu is not real
who dat
I only call him that as a troll
Who's Shinryu?
Was a name reb proposed for OD for 0.17 seconds
tf is shinryu
Oh
Shinryu is a silly name it's literally just shin (true/new) ryu (dragon)
PF-
Ryu is dragon
Shin can have multiple meanings tbf
Fell Progeny Shinryu is so funny
Kung fu panda core
its just kinda bland
yes that's what I meant by the /
It's either new or true
Probably not true
Maybe new
There's more to this game
exactly
Old Duke, after its immense amount of changes, has now become Young and Fresh Duke
How do you come up with a worse name than Old Duke
It reminds me of the first name I thought of for an OC related to parallel realities
Lella
mozalella
la la
its not even a duke at all
Old Duke, after its immense amount of changes, has now become Young and Fresh "not even a duke at all"
Young, Fresh, and Dukeless
Am I the only one that's satisfied with current calamity
Yes
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
calamity's still pretty fun rn so i can see why people would be satisfied with it
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
Typically at least, there's people on the other side who come out of the woodworks in response to all of the changes that're being made like TRG
but having stuff to do other than beating some just kinda alright bosses would make a playthrough feel a lot more... idk, "complete"?
see, a big issue with current calamity is that i feel like im playing a mod from like 2020, in 2025
true
Also honestly, I think this could be a "stared at the painting for too long" situation
No one's spent as much time looking into the depths of Calamity's content as the devs
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.
God damn- it's been that long already?
oh wait right the countdown
67 days until time between BH and SSO part 1 is longer than between R&D and draedon update
a big factor in this is that calamity player tend not to play other mods, and also dont really interact with most of the non boss content in it
true
As a calamity player™ I can confirm that I ignore all content added except crabulon
I’ve played since the dawn of most cal music. The mod has changed a LOT since then and it’ll continue to do so but as long as the devs feel passionate about the project, we’re gonna see more good than bad.
I hope so, especially with the recent developer change I think the future looks bright
especially the bosses
me
well, current calam not so much
but there have been plenty of points that i thought it was satisfying
If we get those planned boss tier swap changes my life would be theirs
i don't think i heard about anyone liking malice mode
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
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
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
Was the refight thing even real
like it would've been fine if it was REALLY difficult but fun then yeah why not
Rev also doesn’t have Death enemy speed or Death debuff strength or Death blood moons or Death Destroyer or Death Prime or
I swear I remember hearing that was just smth made up quickly after it released to justify it
yeah it was basically what some of the devs had said when malice mode released
i think i still have a screenshot for it
death prime and death twins aren't even a thing anymore thankfully so
I said Death, not Master-Rev+
you are correct
it was, essentially, cope
Oblivion and Foveanator are Master-Rev+ things
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
Yharim hits the griddy
thats me actually
the guy on the left i mean
TRUE
draedon cranking 90s
draedon cranking
200 pump scal
pause

One of the things I wanna do right after SSO is take a look at all of the Rev+ enemy AI changes since I was refactoring the file with all the vanilla ones
Hopefully those speed changes can take a dent cause they are quite annoying
me (a goku chad) with my teammate john wulfrum (a fucking idiot) hitting the gritty until we see scal throwing it with rick from the hit show rick of legends
This. Imo there is no reason to have two evil bosses next to each other in progression, especially since hardmode is lacking an evil boss rn.
Play how you want bro, it's singleplayer
i was doing a playthrough that entered hardmode when i switched to a dev build
i unintentionally started playtesting the new weapon reworks LOL
quit button immediately
cdmusic the best calamity tester
Playtesting and having fun sounds like an absolute win-win
peak
early hardmode mage is peak gaming
FINALLY another mage enjoyer
Is new update going big on mages btw?
Is it that uncommon?
i think mage players are eating good in SSO
Good to know
mana power level 5
saying this makes me want to do a mage playthrough once the update drops
there's a lot of really cool stuff going on with a lot of mage weapons
i mean yeah arent they like completely reworking
mana potions too
no more inf mana
lmao
most people ive seen pass through this server don't like it (though some of it is to an understandable degree)
Do a mage playthrough in general. It's really good
Well, now I know what to play next playthrough for the SSO. Good to know 👍
as someone who hadn't played terraria actively in a long time i haven't had this much fun in forever
we should do a run charlie
like i actually love playing as a mage LOL
idt weve ever played terraria together in the 7 years weve known eachtoehr
Sad. Mage is probably the most diverse class out there weapon-wise, it's very fun to play
yeah i did a while ago! it's really good, if i had to do a ranking i'd do: 1-melee (sorry), 2- mage, 3- summoner, 4-ranger and 5- rogue (mainly cuz i didn't play it yet, apparently it's doodoo)
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!!
frfr
that's surprising tbh
facts
Rogue is strong from my feelings, but not immediately. It gets better and better the further you progress. It starts getting very strong shortly after hardmode imo
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
ok ok, might check it out once the update releases
Melee enjoyer 🔥
Turns out melee is actually a fun class when the weapons aren't just "Default overhead swing and maybe shoot projectiles"
yeah exactly lmfao
So true
Tank builds are also kinda refreshing
melee is fun af when your weapons aren't just "sword throws projectiles"
I usually play glass cannon builds
i've been playtesting some boss-related stuff and getting my shit kicked in on rev
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?
Also true melee slaps damn hard sometimes
same, tank doesn't really do much imo
i haven't played through the whole game on rev yet, i might do that in the future
YESSS, like as hard as it can be it's so satisfying to ram at bosses and do shit ton of damage
I mean tank is refreshing after playing glass cannons so much. It's nice to be able to take a hit and not loose third of my hp instantly
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
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
ranger fucking sucks btw am sorry
Didn't get that far yet, but would make sense. Post ML bosses have very nasty debuffs on attacks
it's one of the only times i was fucking tired of a playthrough
It's strong, but gets a bit stale after a while
especially the exos
Ranger is just "me like big gun. Big gun shoot good"
yeah that's the issue, it's just strong but that's it
like there's a few good weapons but the rest feel boring imo
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 💀
Ranger is so, so very linear. You just keep and your cursor in target, and your distance away from it. Dodge dodge dodge, it's dead. Repeat. Not much going on besides that
I heard ranger gets a lot of new stuff in SSO
Buzzkill doesn't work on bosses much from my attempts
It's fantastic at crowd control, but you don't have any issues with that anyway
didnt you just describe like almost every class
it would've been ok if atelast it was fun
summoner kinda has this but atleast it's fun
i totally respect that lmao i just don't like it personally
only 5-6 of these were winning attempts btw, including the duration shown here lol
i've been putting in some work
We need more weapons for ranger like the crackshot colt and midas prime
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
melee hardly wants you to be close for big damage unless tmelee or the gimmick swords which are rare
The f--
What boss is this? What difficulty?
not saying who, it was on rev tho
Sheesh
This is yharim he's just been hidden from us expertly
smn is already outdpsing every class without adding whips into the mix
3 minute fight probably means post-moon lord
mage asks you to pay attention at your mana and kinda encourages you to switch between weapons depending on what you have
summoner has whips now so you actually need to take risk
melee
rogue idk
ranger doesn't feel like that imo
Seems like your friend is fighting Desert Scourge in 1.4
mage is fun cause the weapons are visually interesting yea
just wish it was a bit more powerful..
agreed
summoner does NOT need to take any risk
Does it? I never tested, but without whips summoner doesn't hit nearly as hard as I'd like. Maybe it's my whip-stacking ass being whiny, but hell
take whips out of the equation you're still outdpsing almost everything other than some tiers vs stealth rogue
Hellborn, Buzzkill and Superradiant Slaughterer would like to have a talk with you
that aside, I'm glad more ranger weapons are becoming risk-reward based
bro summoners are like, the representation itself of glass canon
no?
Rogue has you time your stealth strikes, and then it peaks at the yharon scythe
tankiness is mostly acc based not armor based
Oh yeah, I tried buzzkill. Didn't go too well in bosses, but shit was fun
you're a tank if you put tank accs
Ranger needs more of that
regardless of class
really?
It's a weapon with a high skill ceiling
And summoner has atleast like 3 sets with tank armour anyways
Yeah?
i felt more tanky playing mage or melee than summoner
Its best use varies per situation
like atleast i died in 3 or 4 hits
If you use it like tmelee I suppose
i died in 2 with summoner
you were using more summon accs then
But overall the best way is to stay at TMelee range, continuously charge until the most powerful saw and release
rather than tank accs
yeah prolly
summoner barely has less defense than other classes in most stages of the game
Infact Summoner has the most defense in alot of stages
i find it hard to believe, how
mm yes putting revives on a centralising armour set is a good idea

do you guys like my character name btw
long bill my goat
long bill
My bill is longer
Ha, I got no bills
Yes
Up there with big hat Logan tbh
The days when godslayer/silva/auric armor had revives 🥀
bill long
That's not even the good tanky armor
Silva Armor still has revives
Oh right, it still exists (did not play mage/summoner yet)
(with Silva Wings, but, you're basically always using those)
yea!! theres something
better !!!
somehow
fucking fearmongerer just gives u a bajillion life regen
Even without it it has revive
the wings just make it stronger
I don't play Summoner sorry
Shoutouts to my testing world for looking like whatever the fuck happened here
:sob/
It looks like 3 parallel universes collided into 1 giant clusterfuck
i just used luiafk for my testing world
i love decimating the world to build boss arenas
yknow the thing that scares me the most isn't all the random boxes or platforms
I love testing worlds and having the entire underground just be Hardmode ores
but the fact your desert and sunken sea spawned almost at the ocean, after the jungle
not like i’m using the world for anything else really
my main world i actually put time into
i wish i could send an ss of my testing world but its on a dev build so i don’t want to accidentally leak anything lmao
i’ll send one of my personal playthrough one when i get the chance tho
Also Hallow on the jungle side
"insert average exo mechs arena here"
i don’t know if i’ll have long bill fighting the exos
Looks wider than usual at the bottom of the spear. Is that the resprite posted into calart?
doze would it be worth fighting exos lol
I like exos personally
most of the others just tell me no usually LMAO
yes
i don’t think my arena will need much of a retrofit to suit them tho, at least i hope not lol
still kinda wild that ur making music for a boss u
never fought
lmao
i mean
i fought them and beat them like 3 years ago
ah
i'm one of the people making a game for a mod i never finished
one of the lead people at that
:p
yeah most of the devs hate them with a passion
well ur weird
i didn’t playtest them at all back then either LMAO
Cheese we need to do a calamity play through or something wdym you haven’t beaten it
how about that
that was in my sort of “i don’t like actually playing terraria” phase
i
have
now i find it more enjoyable
cheese
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
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.
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
Okay that works
Love me a dusty and crusty Desert Scourge
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

trust I got you
im gonna beat that mf bee today
Sponge 👍
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!"
spunch bop
if exos are getting the scorched earth treatment this is probably not worth doing anyway
I honestly also have an attachment to that sprite for literally the same reaosn i think
And also just because i think it's funny looking
Idk it's just a cucumber
Mage with it’s 2 accessories
imagine making music that fits Fabsolian Sludge and then the boss gets entirely done over
Also that, with stubby little leg/spines
The last variation to keep that ancient detail, I think
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
they deserve a rework
i’ll need to refight them to see if their hatred is warranted
I like cucumber scourge
fabsol would've never let Exos be reworked
He may not really be a very interesting design or anything but i'm attached
personally i dont actually mind their designs
He's not that good but i like him
He defended this boss in particular to hell and back
I need Artemis and Apollo to be made more active movement-wise..
i just think more needs to be done with the bosses themselves
this
The boss have actually good designs its just the fight that's bad, i think
i would maybe fight WOTM exos but those mfs scare me
Like the visual design is good
wasnt artermis lobotomized or sum
it's the fight design that isnt
Saame, I think it's the sole reason I can understand why people like the old SCal sprites, even if I don't remotely agree
wotm is terrifying to watch
to watch
Anytime someone brought up like fallgod or rungod against Exos Fabsol would get super pissy
go my 🥒
but it looks so fucking cool
wtf they made the patreon tier above the patreon role
Real, the bosses themselves look cool, its just that the fight is painfully mediocre
and gave it a gradient colour
like i put my exos theme over it for fun one night and i was like “this actually works so well what”
The fight is just flashy effects and projectile vomit
a tag team fight against the magnum opera of the smartest man robot thing in the would should be sick as hell
in the would
but its not
Oh yeah, that's what they look like on the server! Pretty cool that they got moved here too, though
The exos are supposed to have synergy with eachother
They just don't
He forgot to actually add that part
The synergy is that they slow down a bit when together in terms of things like projectile shoot rates and speeds iirc
the exos just independently projectile vomit at you, its just that there so happens to be multiple on screen at once
How innovative
Though sadly...this means I can't make "I'm a dev, you can clearly see it from my username's color!" jokes anymore...
just be auric tier
magnet thanatos would be nice
Magnetos
Auric is yellow and blue I think
oh my god im purple now
Any auric tiers in the chat?
i’m just orange
white name 😔
when i get a job. maybe.
Bank robbery
Lets go rob a bank folks
Either way, it looks like this
yes
byeah first impressions are important but it's also nice when something ends on a high note
That's basically calamity bosses for a long time no? Now it doesn't have to be the case anymore, exos with actual synergy attacks that don't have you fall through a world arena as the optimal strat would make a good fight
calamity devs should get like a blood red role to symbolize how theyre all evil
i certainly wouldn't call exos a good concept, but whatever artists handled them sure made a lot more out of them
the concept of the fight itself is good
wdym
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"
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
ah yeah i suppose that checks
they aren't "working together" they just so happen to be on the screen at the same time
for me it's just the fact they're vanilla boss again, especially releasing right after old duke of all bosses
Give ares melee attacks cause prime and tron got it
Old duke needs to go. He's gotten too old
fish of theseus
exos but it's just ares and leans more into the samurai and gundam inspirations...
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
more could probably be done with "mech bosses pushed to their absolute limits" but they really are just mech bosses 2
yeah i know
enigmatic first-rate genius
talks to you and gets built up throughout the entire game
call him down to challenge his magnum opus
it's The Extra-Twins, The Extra-Destroyer, and Skeletron Extra-Prime
In their current state, they might aswell just be the same mechanically as mecha mayhem. They are basically 3 individual bosses with their own mechanics mashed together into a mess rather than a cohesive unit
no longer extraterrestrial since the rewrite

exo mechs should fr be a early post ml boss... uninspired ahh concept
and old duke should be deleted fr fr
he functionally is dead
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
👴 on 👴 violence
what if exos just Die
the Andromeda in the corner of the room:
exos just should be cool ass robots that are not mechs 2
there's no reason to keep them if draedon has something better
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
andromeda,,.,..,..,.,.

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)
hypnos
idk if id call the execution 'so good'
second iteration of terraria boss immediately followed up by third iteration of terraria boss
how to dig your own grave
to me it feels like a stretch
WotG doing us a service and giving us the first old duke fight for free so we don't have to fight a terrible boss 🙏
but thats it the fight isnt good
the visual execution is random bullshit go (projectile spam)
the Graphical Fidelity™ is good
Exos if they were good
^

aye, it looks like discord reverted the trademark change
oh
oh shoot!
the patron gradients are here
thats easy to make good
spritework from good spriters can salvage even the most horrible of concepts
Tbf as sad as it sounds, in the current cal economy old duke is one of the better bosses
it doesnt stop them from being a horrible concept though
this is true
yeah
man what 😭
you gotta put some respect on Shinryu's name
jesus christ theres no way
refuse to believe that 😭
how could they
I preffer to fight 10 old dukes than that
theres no way fab fucked up so many bosses from phm and hm
I mean current harvest DoG
he did
to make it worse than old duke
oh
old Duke fight is genuinely one of the best designed one in cal public atm
have you SEEN 2.0.4
Because its built upon one of the best fights in vanilla

darker than dark duker than duke
i started playing through it a bit ago yes
the boss design bar literally jumped into a volcano in one update
fabsol is capable of ruining those with ease
master eoc is ☹️
True
I mean specifically the sprites themselves yeah obviously not the fights, the designs could’ve easily just been recolored mechs
master eye is nothing
a lot of things jumped into a volcano in bountiful harvest
master is ☹️
i thought that said boss bar and was confused for a sec lol
simply replace ares' skull and have it lean more into the gundam inspiration 
yet somehow SCal came out of it way better (because someone other than Fabsol was miraculously allowed to touch her)
but then again ive heard master ai is only on vanilla bosses
so theres no way stuff like provi and pbg got ruined
Well brothers and the moons
theres two exceptions
right...
NOOOOOOOO
pretty sure yes
In general
Doze
She still came out of it a better boss
😭
probably
bountiful had revengeance/death changes for most bosses
not just master ones
SCal is like the one good thing that happened in Bountiful Harvest
what is the issue
Can you make them be actually fucking telegraphs
oh
And not just random sounds
Yes
why would he touch pbg mannnnn
Literally the previous update where fabsol severely changed AI (besides BH) had him create ACTUALLY good AI!?
And then came Bountiful Harvest
fun fact
that boss is literally already perfected like 5 years agoooooo
Shitty shitty update
perfected

actually NVM I don't know if I wanna say that
ah yes
"perfected"
all minions acting the same
"Perfected"
plus ds, plus hive mind, minus moon lord
(queen bee but faster)
yeah pbg was one of the most fun bosses as voted by the community
"PBG" "Perfected"
Hive mind was the biggest fabsol jand tho
I should touch up PBG
It went from one of the better boss fights to worse ones
And just
facts speak louder than emotions
the dukness keeps arising
fish level negative
the next experiment will be very, very, fishroning
Skeletron AI Dark Heart
the people voted and pbg was like top 5 (i believe) in the fun factor
i HATE the dark hearts
there is literally no difference between the rocket and the mine
The community which most of the users have the standards of a brick (principally 5 years ago)
its hilarious
this feels like a bit of a useless stat because its vieweing from only a cal boss perspective
5 years ago the standards were very diferent..
jarvis send the screenshot of Fabsol saying "I like Ravager's fight rn" in reference to BH Ravager
perfect is a stretch but it was very good
🥹
i still think it is, it's a perfect example of "taking a vanilla ai and making it better"
It doesn't matter what their standards are when they're literally the ones who play it
a mod is nothing without a community
Very good for its time
I do agree standards have changed a lot

are you really surprised he was capable of making pbg bad
Its not anymore
gameplay preferences dont change as much as spritework does
you're wrong
remember that DoG came out at the very top of those polls
people thought DoG was absolute cinema 5 years ago
and look at where he is now
Yeah
get rid of the annoying ass minions and we have a decent boss
He didnt ruin dog
dog is like
also yharon was near the top as well iirc
PBG should have minions tbh
modders first attempt at making a boss fight
but like
nahhh
I also used to like DoG
They need to be godo
🥹
only thing that made dog a great boss was its song ngl
Like go fight the ancient DoG
sorry triangle but dog was peak in 2018
multiply that by like three times and u have all of calamity
And see if you like it nowadays
yeah current ones are just 'chase you and be bullet sponges'
now looking back, it's still another worm
Redone DoG is my first actual attempt at a boss fight
i would
so hh
i never got to experience actually good DoG
Bad excuse
💔

Im sorry ein user but i cant take your opnions seriouslly 
and im certain most people would too
Just play calamity classic if you like dust and vanilla ai copies
old dog was so simple though
i also cant take yours seriously man
basically a big 'fuck you' to any weapon that doesn't pierce

you seem to think change in all aspects is good
ig it was good for 2018
because its change
Good change and improvements
damn you seem to REALLY hate dog lmao
Not just change for the sake of it
You didnt had to experience
Current indev DoG
Anyway doze saved the boss

A lot better
Wait, you mean scal could have potentially remained as twins v4?
oh yeah
astronomically common doze W
it's this good?
i am tripping over doze Ws
i hope dog was saved
damn am more hyped now
This was the worst fight I have EVER played in modded easily
its been so bad for so long
But its a lot better now
It sucks
oh

DoG is still going to hell sorry
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
im jealous if that was the worst for you
That will take some time..
True
what they are talking about isnt the full rework
you shouldve played some shitpacks back in the day
you haven't played the indev dog version tbf
But yes
yeah, a part of it, but still
that would make you appreciate some of the good even more
I did
I missed a lot of the bad bad stuff
not really
Have to imagine at least half of the pre-2020 cal bosses were still worse than indev dog 💔
rust and dust did a bit but also the boss is kind of just repetitive fire spam ooo
aa wasnt bad enough to be considered for the shitpack
they're just touching up the curent fight its not the full rework
oh?
for comparison
Calamity bosses are still stuck on the stuff ancients awakened had in 2020
ohh ok ok
tremor was the most polished mod
i get it then*
hello calamitains
in the shitpack
Preffer to fight shen doragon and equinox worms than DoG

hello xzier_tengal
it is a pretty major touch up tbf
i believe that yea
i'm going to fight the secret alphakip boss
Einstandards
Is it bad based on boring or master skeletron prime level bad?

shen was made by terry
equinox idk
Boring
she tre on my mor til i remastered
It's... verbose 
Dog was boring and also it could just
Insta shot you out of nowhere
Its like boring and annoying
i have high standards wym
the fact that death master skeleprime is now used as a metric to how DOGSHIT a boss is will never not be funny
And its not like deus which you can just ignore
see this i agree, thats stupid
Rick roll spotted
its not
esp cause it could kill through godmode cause fab had an aneurysm everytime someone did that
its an old nohit of dog from 1.3 calamity (this was 2018)
tsuki foiled again
STOP THE STRANGE WIGGLE BEHAVIOR WHEN WORMS ARE FALLING DOWN
DUDE
no
dog still interacts with platforms i think
yes
He does..
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
I wish he wouldnt but its
(and its music being iconic now)
Guy is a cosmic worm, why he is walking in platforms
Standards didn't exist back then
Crawlipede
Period
DoG has a flying and a digging AI
ehh we still dont rly have mind blowing bosses rn
lowkey
based on what ive seen from other creators i feel like calamity stil doesnt have mind blowing bosses
Standards were very very diferent for presentation, visuals, functions
not in calamity
Everything
Gotta love how people in the comments were already calling out DoG being revamped every single update, 7 years ago 
its a lot of visual spectacle
i'm assuming they didn't mean calamity
It didnt change only for sprites like a certain user said
closest this mod comes to mind blowing boss is Scal brothers phase
Like how shpc was seem as peak weapon back there
Or rust and dust intrisicate dust patterns being seen as cool
Profaned Guardians aswell imo
gameplay wise most bosses are still very basic-ey in most mods
i feel like guardians are so boring though
mind blowing is a stretch for guardians
the fact fabsol coded profaned Guardians and then
they're not supposed to be magnificent but they aren't bad by any means
people just learned to use flashy colors to hide it
yup, and that's a really big issue imo, fabshit was too focused on making bosses "not too complex or it'll be bad" that every boss in the mod feels like either a copy or straight up a dogshit boss
they're Good but not mind blowing
and wow the public
i quite liked guardians
New guardians are actually good UNLIKE SOME BOSSES I KNOW
They're forgettable, sure
Update name aged well
only exception being scal and and maybe providence (even her is a copy of ice queen)
But atleast they're really well designed
i feel like providence is a bit spammy
💤
at least its not Bountiful Harvest
I don't like guardian commander phase
Because most mods didnt update

otherwise guardians is good
I mean getting updates
oh
well there's defo a step up in the way bosses are made in mods rn, like i remember a lot of people talking about starlight river (even though i think it was overrated but still)
In general
Check the new mods that released nowadays or the ones that are still being updated
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
Fargos, fables, wrath, spirit, MoR
Tbf my least favorite part is the Defender part
basically all i think of guards is they're very boring and mildly janky
It certainly has a low health bar for a defender
starlight river is the example that comes to mind for me yea
I mean yeah R&D is still probably Cal’s overall best update for the time it was released
its a lot of visual spectacle
Until sso happens
I don't like Commander because he's so anti true melee it's sad
The thing with the Guardians fight is that they have no clue how to organise themselves
Like which
scal is like completely anti tmelee
If you are still using slr as a basis it means you are very outdated
Why is the Healer not being protected AT ALL while the Commander sits doing nothing
oh we have an explicitly pro-melee-design cal dev? goated?
this fucking sucks 🔥
ive played 3 of those from back in 2022
mixing visual spectacle with challenge, when done well, it can be really good
granted 3 years is a decent chunk
fargo's is actually playable now
am thinking about lucille's exos for example
1.5.1
that's all i know
In 2022
but ive seen javyz showcasing his bosses from fargos souls and dlc
imo the Guardian Defender should have it's health increased by 30% and the Commander decreased by 30%

"sentinel phase is peak" mfs when it was literally run in a straight line and kill them in five seconds
Guardian Commander is straight up incompetent and its really funny
😭
LITERALLY NOTHING IS HAPPENING
"The recent mods" 2022
what

I can't lie even the dogshit bosses from cal I can still have fun with
sentinel phase was peak
Starlight river too, albeit still in alpha. Modern boss design is so much fun compared to projectile vomit
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
Yea
recent i was talking about slr
Doze can you please touch up Calamitas Clone next
im pretty sure fargos didnt even have lifelight in 2022 which is when id say fargos got a bunch of good revamps
you have fun with ravager?
Shadows of abbadon too
please check what i type 😭
honestly i played slr and didn't really care for it at all, with the exception of glassweaver
glassweaver is awesome
Yes, believe it or not
Is getting more economical stuff nowadays
I think from what i saw in previews
I think people gatekeeping what's fun for other people is crazy

is glassweaver the demo boss
ein maybe YOU should read wat triangle is saying
Haven't played since the demo
I can even use more unknown mods as example
I can totally understand why ein finds them fun, because I do too sometimes
am not gatekeeping lmao i was just surprised
That are real nowadays
i think the first release was ceiros...?
I mean, its fine to find them fun
i respect it, i just don't like him
That sounds right
I love cal clone, rav, yharon,
Just dont act like its perfect
glassweaver is the beetle dude who starts the fight with enemy waves
aureus
Can’t wait to use them in 20 years
It isn't perfect yes
i already said perfect was an exageration
Shadows of Abaddon 
I have literally seen 0 SLR since the original first demo release
10 fargo years
idk
at this point no boss is perfect in any mod
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
now i wonder what a "perfect boss" would bee
Fables DS
I mean yeah, that sounds pretty shit, but not as bad as it's being described
actually no, laser walls were less common too
Jk, nothing is perfect..
There is no perfect boss everything subjective
But fables DS is really really great
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
The curse

its all just oh this is more pretty than the last
it literally did not interact with you at all
away garbo
you see the vision...
for like
I get all of 8t
90% of the fight
didn't try it yet, might check it out but from what i've heard, yeah it's a really good rework
same for crabulon apparently
Ahhh, that makes sense
I don't see how people can hate cal clone in its current form I think she's very fun
bosses
Sir nautilus is p great too
when will aureus not be a and d key simulator 2k19
i want to like calclone but it always feels more like im fighting twins again than a new boss
its like
It never felt that way for me
especially apparent with her
You'll never guess
cal clone is really unloved
because twins are actually fun
But also I'm weird so
and so calclone is also fun
i do like calclone even if i don't really like mandatory invincibility phases
but for the wrong reasons
Designing bosses blackens the heart and withers the soul, I'm afraid
True
My issue with clone is
i also dont think i fought twins when fighting clone
basically every current fables mod is really good, impatient on what they'll do in the future (i really need that iban's DOG you have no idea)
unlike smth like ravager which i dislike for reasons unrelated to it being a copy of golem
clonelamitas was pretty cool last time i fought her, i did beat her first try if i remember correctly
Her non BH attacks are such a nothingburger
Its literally the triplets currently yea
maybe back when she summoned 4 brothers
Also honestly, I've never particularly "had fun" with CalClone because when I fight her, she isn't onscreen 80% of the time
I think next fable boss is either a draedon thing or slime god?
that's smth you can say for a lot of the bosses in the mod rn
Let me check the roadmap
i want calclone to be better more than basically every other boss
ravager has a very long list of reasons to dislike it
I hate CalClone's fight so much its SO outdated
At least it’s not Fovenator
Next fables boss is leviathan
isnt it leviathan
The Moon Lord fight with nine true eyes of cthulhu...
i think it's a draedon machine yeah
No
most cal bosses are outdated
It's leviathan
primeval nucleus is after levi in fables i think
oh alright
Its coming in sunken sea update
Not to CalClone's extent though
if nautie isn't your goat you're WRONG
Fables leviathan design is really great
sorry to say
just adren+Omniblade skip that shit
peak, WotG should hire you for boss design
where is the original boss design gif
My nautilus experience was multiplayer on release..
I didn't do that, Fabsol did
ah
Maybe he should be hired
he isnt my goat never will be (because i cant call it good without experiencing it myself)
Well thank god it's not as bad as || ||
Not public afaik
go experience it yourself then
All 3 are peak
fables levi isnt public im afraid
no
ill wait for more content to come out
fables leviathan design is awesome
yeah it looks really cool
Not public
its peak im afraid
How do you know..
its so peak
The ones who know
mm i gotta play fables finally
Pay him with patreon money 🔥
yea i want to try fables at one point but i'd rather there be more substance to it first
mod that only has early pre hm content numero
uhh
i forgot
those who know 😰
at least two
wait it's not the icon in the roadmap???
those who snow
The complex web of those who know but shouldn't
i thought it was leviathan lmao
i echo this sentiment yea
❄️
i used it as an excuse to play multiple other still-small mods, like slr, reforged, and wayfair
why r a bunc h of patreonsc cosmilite now
I know of it due to being friends with cubanplay 
maybe throw ebonian on the pile
vanillin why are you purple
there is so much "those who know" its painful
Was it posted publically somewhere
nah it wasnt
i'll play fables when there's a decent bit of content for it up to ml
