hey about this

#

tiki armor + abaddon

#

that is all

pulsar cobalt
#

me when my blossom star is adorned or smthn idk

hasty hawk
#

theres no way you use Tiki with ABS

dull heart
#

I'm not talking about ABS

pulsar cobalt
lyric trellis
#

Stardust aware

dull heart
#

(abaddon turns all multiplicative tag into crit tag)

pulsar cobalt
#

by using tiki and abaddon with firecracker

dull heart
#

(so firecracker 2x dmg is now just a guaranteed crit)

hasty hawk
#

oh yea Stardust gives range so you use that over Tiki

dull heart
#

Stardust is

#

way beyond the tier of what I was saying

#

actually

#

Obsidian Armor + Abaddon

hasty hawk
#

Obsidian got nerfed to the ground by vanilla

dull heart
#

it still gives whip range

lyric trellis
#

Obsidian before vanilla nerf

#

Scary

dull heart
#

obsidian is still cracked it's just not

hasty hawk
dull heart
#

on par with stardust cracked

wooden blade
grave geyser
#

yes

hasty hawk
#

yes, thats why it was nerfed so hard

grave geyser
#

35% whip speed 50% range iirc

#

which is uhhh
lmao

hasty hawk
#

before Obsidian was stronger than stardust in every way except defense

dull heart
#

Don't forget

#

More summon dmg than anything for quite a while

valid crypt
dull heart
#

until like... Spooky?

lyric trellis
#

Truly the glass canon class

dull heart
#

stardust did double the damage and MUCH more minions

mystic eagle
dull heart
#

especially with terraprisma existing

#

spooky and stardust were definitely better

Snapthorn has been such a fucking pain in the ass for balance (and to balance), dude is just biased as fuck

dull heart
#

snapthorn is

lyric trellis
#

Why didn’t I see this until now

dull heart
#

Evil

wooden blade
#

i don't think relogic would want a pre harmode set being stronger than the endgame

dull heart

#

SNAPTHORN
MY BELOATHED

dull heart
#

so

wooden blade
#

huh

pulsar cobalt
vivid hemlock
#

holy shit its john snapthorn

grave geyser
dull heart
#

yeah

arctic cliff
#

honestly

arctic cliff
#

why don’t y’all make snapthorn require beeswax

dull heart
#

I will just gut snapthorn

#

it will get 1 flat tag dmg

mystic eagle
#

YES

pulsar cobalt
hasty hawk
dull heart
#

(this is not a joke it literally has 1 flat tag dmg atm)

grave geyser
dull heart
#

4%

grave geyser
#

yeha

dull heart
#

which roughly is 1 dmg depending on minion

hasty hawk
#

tbh I think Snapthorn’s tag could be brough back but the poison, base dmg and buff should be nerfed a bit instead

dull heart
#

no

valid crypt
#

snapthorn snaps the balance in half

dull heart
#

snapthorn can't have better tag than leather whip

#

or even on par

pulsar cobalt
#

whip that sacrifices tag for pure dmg

hasty hawk
#

what was leather’s tag?
last time i check was around 3

dull heart
#

Then there's literally 0 reason to do all the work for leather whip

dull heart
hasty hawk
#

damn

dull heart
#

Rebalance branch is

#

Screwed

mystic eagle
dull heart
#

atm

pulsar cobalt
dull heart
#

I think it's 3 in rebalance but

#

we kinda need to figure that out

azure oak
#

so has the folly & evil2 tier shift been agreed on yet?

dull heart
#

we haven't voted

#

it is likely to happen but

wooden blade
#

hope it's agreed on

pulsar cobalt
#

"likely to happen" been hearing that for 2 weeks now

dull heart
#

yeah well

wooden blade
#

would make perf and hive mind more interesting

dull heart
#

We won't be doing the Retier soon anyway

still bluff
#

I wanted it to be snapthorn with no tag and direct damage only to contrast leather whip with tag and low damage but noone else agreed when I mentioned it HDfailure

dull heart
#

it would be at least after 2.1

dull heart
#

but

#

I left 1 tag to appease the players

#

actually though jt having a tag is actually a nerf in a way

still bluff
#

So snapthorn returned to near unbalanceable limbo because I can't actually make 2 whips at identical power levels

dull heart
#

due to no more tag stacking you can't get leather whip tag with snapthorn dmg

still bluff
#

Thank god clueless

grave geyser
vivid hemlock
#

snapthorn should like kill the player the moment they hold it

dull heart
#

snapthorn should use 50% of your remaining HP

dull heart
#

whenever swung

cobalt wharf
#

how come 2 guns can be at near identical power but not whips

still bluff
#

Because there's like 3 whips in prehm

dull heart
#

whips can be its just early game uh

still bluff
#

And 50 guns

hasty hawk
cobalt wharf
dull heart
#

early game tag is basically either 1 dmg or none dmg

late eagle
#

GOD NOW I REMEMBER

dull heart
#

So then it just comes to the raw DPS of the whip

wooden blade
#

tbf if vanilla terraria 1.4.5 releases sooner it might be much more than 5 whips lmao

cunning sequoia
wooden blade
#

considering all the teasers they did

still bluff
#

Summon base damage is between 5 and 10 preboss tag is so impactful

dull heart
#

Vanilla has already revealed like 3 pre boss whips

wooden blade
#

yeah

hasty hawk
dull heart
#

I can wait

dense sundial
wooden blade
#

we don't even know if more pre hpm whips are planned

grave geyser
hasty hawk
#

it has been in limbo since the “new reforges” teaser

wooden blade
#

doing cal devs' job fr fr

dull heart
cobalt wharf
hasty hawk
dense sundial
#

leave leather alone, reduce snapthorn tag a lot but keep the rest of it as is

#

wait how much tag does vanilla leather have

wooden blade
still bluff
#

I had leather balanced with 3 tag, snapthorn was still a mess

wooden blade
#

maybe the fuckass emoji

hasty hawk
mystic eagle
hasty hawk
#

altho with the new slime whip this might be uneccessary

dense sundial
#

personally i think ten percent of the vanilla bestiary is pretty reasonable

dull heart
quartz snow
#

when murusama rework

dull heart
grave geyser
#

never

mystic eagle

#

when the other option is snapthorn

# mystic eagle

this is what a new champion's description is like in league now (i don't smell i just thought it was funny)

dense sundial
dull heart
#

the key part is

#

"the other option is snapthorn"

#

that's what makes whip bad

pulsar cobalt
# mystic eagle

reminder that this guy used a heavily nerfed firecracker and got a similar time as kalei on yharon

dull heart
#

it's not hard to get 10%, but it's easier to rush snapthorn

wooden blade
#

just remove snapthorn maybe?

still bluff
#

Ok

grave geyser
still bluff
#

Done

terse dew

It's dead

idk make uhhh make uhh fuckin uhh exploration actually difficult in calamity uhh

dull heart
#

lock snapthorn post wof

wooden blade
#

that works too

cobalt wharf
#

sorry

vivid hemlock
#

snapthorn should be like locked to post-ml and exclusive to gfb

cunning sequoia
#

make snapthorn fluffy's shadowspec item

dull heart
#

Make snapthorn require auric quantum cooling cell schematic to craft

wispy blade
#

people were already saying snapthorn post qb but honestly it feels like so much summoner power is already locked in qb fr

Snapthorn now heals enemies when you hit them

snapthorn kills you upon using it

Uninstalls your game

#

Just get rid of the buff that snapthorn has

wooden blade
#

shuts your pc

cobalt wharf
#

is calamity rlly not getting any meaningful jungle content in sso other than slightly changed structures

cobalt wharf
#

like i feel like there would be something to do with snap

wispy blade
terse dew
#

Jungle is already loaded with vanilla things

#

So like

pulsar cobalt
#

make snapthorn use stohne

pulsar cobalt
cobalt wharf
#

i still don’t buy snap being easier to get than leather whip anyways

dense sundial
#

swapped folly is literally right next to queen bee anyway

yep

cunning sequoia

wait i got an idea

tropic ermine

wait what if
hits line of coke
snapthorn is post plantera

wooden blade
#

make it a folly drop instead (unless the retier is cancelled)

tropic ermine

#

what if there was a late game boss in the jungle

#

like a dragon

wooden blade

out of curiosity, how long did 1.4.4 porting take?

hasty hawk
wooden blade

2 and a half milliseconds

compared to literal year from 1.3 to 1.4

It took 2 weeks just to get the mod to compile on 1.4

i remember that like 30% of the mobs in the bestiary just didn't render properly

dry relic

the bestiary is such an odd feature

#

I feel like too many people forget it exists

#

but it's pretty neat

dusk bronze
#

why is it odd

wooden blade
#

i don't??

#

i think it's cool

#

i like bestiaries in videogames

dry relic
#

lol

wooden blade
#

it sucks ti not have them completed because some mobs are rare af

#

but like aside from that

dusk bronze
wooden blade
#

bestiary is neat, i like having small descriptions of every mob in the game

tropic jolt

😁

valid crypt
#

i remember binging a multi hour long video just to see most bestiary entries

dusk bronze
#

yeah, bestiary readers are the vast minority

given we're dealing with calamity players here

#

and we all know what they can't do

wooden blade
#

what is it?

tropic jolt
#

calamity players CAN read

wooden blade
#

oh right

they can read the wiki well enough anyways

dusk bronze

no

skipping most fishing progression for free isnt good game deign imo

mossy sapphire

you say that like this is a well designed mod

#

you can skip fking wof

#

and beat the exo mechs and scal

thick coyote

they wouldve removed it if they didnt like it

mossy sapphire

...

how am I supposed to fish now

valid crypt

that is better designed

then gold rod for free

also i am pretty sure with a certain change they are making skipping wall of flesh will be dead

mystic eagle

It will persist

#

Rox will still be shimmerable in pre-hm

mossy sapphire
hasty tangle
#

they voted to keep the rox tierskip

hasty tangle
#

although they might be referring to some other change

dusk bronze
#

they're making wofless significantly easier

mystic eagle
#

Yeah the earliest boss you fight will be CalClone

#

Which is a much tougher fight

dusty tinsel
#

calclone on it's way to be prehardemode potentionally

dusk bronze
#

MAYBE*

mystic eagle
#

That's not soon

dusty tinsel
#

i did say potentionally

#

which means the same thing as maybe

mossy sapphire
#

they should add an item that spawns as a 1 block nearly invisible tile that only generates 1% of the time that lets you fight exo mechs and scal at the same time but only once

#

low% runs will be misery

mystic eagle
#

May aswell do the funny bug and get Zenith 10 seconds into the game

mossy sapphire
#

...why don't the low% runs do that

mystic eagle
#

Because it's a bug

hasty tangle
#

because it defeats the point of the challenge

#

you can get literally any item in the game cant you

#

and that would include endgame gear

polar fog
mossy sapphire
#

transmutation bast statue glitch 💀

dusty tinsel
#

if they made astral biome actually needed for progression wouldn't that kill wofless because you need wof to spawn the astral biome lol

hasty tangle
#

and fighting the final 2 bosses with appropriately tiered gear is not a very interesting "playthrough"

polar fog
#

what the fuck do you mean bast statues and doors transmute stuff and how did they figure that out

mossy sapphire
#

ikr

mystic eagle
hasty tangle
mossy sapphire
#

what kind of free time leads you to the discovery

polar fog
hasty tangle
#

can just use astral solution

neat dock
#

I believe getting an artificial astral Is already a part of wofless

polar fog
dusty tinsel
#

steampunker sells astral solution right

mossy sapphire
#

that putting a campfire bast statue and a sandstone block in a multi-player server in a specific order and orientation

mystic eagle
neat dock
mystic eagle
mossy sapphire
#

gets you any item in the game when paired with a door

mossy sapphire
#

why does she even sell the solution at all times

neat dock
#

no other way to get it if you run out

mossy sapphire
#

the other ones require being IN the biome (and with blood moon)

mystic eagle
#

Because most people do enter HM

mossy sapphire
#

the evil biomes

#

and the hallow

jolly tulip
#

yeah

mossy sapphire
#

unless calamity changes that

neat dock
#

i think that's just hallow

#

wait no

#

hallow seeds are sold always

mystic eagle
#

Also the astral isn't an Evil Biome

jolly tulip
#

but astral exists always in steampunker

neat dock
#

I THINK.

jolly tulip
#

which makes for a funny secret seed playthrough

neat dock
#

anyways you don't even get dryad in low% so lol lmao even

#

(unless I'm forgetting something)

#

pretty sure she only spawns after eoc, evil1, or skeletron, none of which are required

mossy sapphire
#

are the exo mechs the whole reason why low% requires so many bosses

neat dock
#

part of it definitely

mossy sapphire
#

bc of the damn codebreaker

neat dock
#

also "so many"

#

there's like 9

mossy sapphire
#

and all of its components

#

yeah but it feels high

#

compared to vanilla which is like 3 isn't it

neat dock
#

i actually can't think of many bosses that are only for exos

dusty tinsel
#

with low% don't you just skip the entirety of prehardemode lol basically

mossy sapphire
neat dock
#

then straight to cultist

dusty tinsel
#

but then you can also skip wof xd

valid crypt
neat dock
mossy sapphire
#

which are needed for exos anyway right

neat dock
#

also calclone

mossy sapphire
#

oh a cosmic anvil

neat dock
#

for cores of calamity and summoning scal herself

#

killing dog requires cultist and ml

mossy sapphire
#

the cores are just from ravager

#

at least

neat dock
#

ml requires cultist, cultist requires wof (or calclone)

dusty tinsel
#

clearly should make it possible to complete the entire game bossless clueless

neat dock
mossy sapphire
#

the video I watched fought ravager and skipped calclone to get the low% exo run too

neat dock
#

they must've done providence then

mossy sapphire
#

yeah providence is required for the uelibloom for a codebreaker component

jolly tulip
#

no, are cores of calamity required in the codebreaker?

jolly tulip
#

shimmer?

mossy sapphire
#

wtf

neat dock
#

unless yharon magically isn't required

dusty tinsel
#

you need auric bars to fight cal

#

so

neat dock

and exos

valid crypt

simmer downgrades a ore to a lower tier, so auric goes to uelibloom

but how do we get auric in the first place?

buoyant pulsar
#

well im assuming it has something to do with invisible phase

dull heart
#

why

#

he's not invisible

buoyant pulsar
#

mmmm

#

i meant like

#

laser phase

buoyant pulsar
#

when the background goes black and he does laser walls and stuff and doesn't deal contact damage

cunning orchid
#

Wait I see it now😄 its supposed to be a tease for the yharon resprite

dull heart
#

the background doesn't go black in laser walls

#

in public the background goes black in death mode or low health

thick coyote
#

post the clip you won't

dull heart
#

you're right I won't

thick coyote
#

true

dull heart
#

It's also just an image not a clip

thick coyote
#

oh i assumed that was a screen cap from the clip

dull heart
#

no it's a different image

what connection do i have with you

dull heart
#

anyway have fun with the spoiler cst I will be back later

#

What is he confused about

#

Is it because it go agaisnt their headcannon of clone or somethingpeeposhrug (like a lot of red nation users)

#

If you want a ref at how it could possibly look like

#

Clone and mech are separate beings (they are sort of brothers, both failed projects of draedon that need each other to function)

#

The mech grants clone protection and also aids her on what she isnt strong at, while clone provide energy for the mech to function with her magic

stiff light
#

angle

agile latch
#

peepowegud this is just my ideia for it, nothing settled or properly discussed yet (i also need to check the timeframe of stuff to see if this would work well) but the mech would be a very early project of draedon experimenting with sea and exo prisms, the alloys that were used to make the body of the mech were not able to properly endure the energy provided by the prisms, making it overclock itself and malfunction mmyes .
So basically while calclone is deemed a failure for not having magic and pretty much just being a normal person (not the magic battery draedon wanted), this guy is a failure for not being able to properly contain the energy provided by prisms, scal would have attuned clone to this failed prototype to aid her in the escapemmyes and both overtime bonded with each other due to their shared fate (the mech is p much taking the place of clone brothers, he would have proper personality and even talk and have infights with clone, instead of just silently fighting you while summoned and leaving like scal brothersgulpsplosion )

#

The wall of text

stiff light
#

yea i cant read

agile latch
#

If your question is why a humanoid mech? The answer is because its cool and a thing we dont havepeepowegud

turbid pumice
#

Because right now she dosen't really have anything

stiff light
#

sad girl

#

more of a lore question tbh

agile latch
#

Well rn she is trying to be really hard a copy of scal (the scal people think of, not the actual one)

#

My ideia is that as the fight goes on she start to show her true personality than the wanna be scal one

#

(I want the fight at the end to be very slightly, a little bit, perchance in some ammount goofy)

#

Not goofy like crabulon tho

glass path
#

infernum clone casted a spell that kills herself

Read the future content doc and got so excited at all the new stuff there

Could someone please clarify if possible what is coming in SSO part 1 and what is coming in SSO part 2? I couldn’t find a clear definition in the doc itself

honestly i think it should be at least given the opportunity for people to see it. Even if not actually letting the update go through, I'd at least want to see a video of the fight in question

molten grove
#

itll be in github history if anyone's curious

arctic cliff
#

Let us see what Fabsol did for the Slime God

molten grove
glass path
#

wait why is the rework dying

fringe quiver
#

Because it's outdated and was worked on by fabsol before he left the team
I assume there's no point in keeping the slime god rework when it'll be reworked again later anyways

glass path
#

i mean unless its worse than the current one i dont see why not

wooden blade
#

So his resprite is cancelled?

fringe quiver
#

dunno about the resprite i assume not

#

nothing has been stated on that

#

idk tho

wooden blade
#

So it can fit the devs's vision

fringe quiver
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

wooden blade
#

Aight

fringe quiver
#

i assume if they actually want to make the slime god fihgt more interesting

lean relic
#

no new visuals...

fringe quiver
#

atleast for the paladins the current designs probably wouldnt work

#

but thats just a guess

lean relic
#

dying inside...

glass path
#

like the work is already done so i dont see why its not getting in

fringe quiver
#

probably because it wasn't really good

#

it'd probably be pretty weird seeing actually competently designed reworks in the form of scourge, cnidrion and clam and then for slime god to also get a rework except it's just kinda Mediocre in the same update

wooden blade
#

Well sucks if it's really cancelled, i liked the resprite

fringe quiver
#

current slime god resprite is alright

#

my favorite thing about it are the core's animations because they have alot of personality

#

but it dosent do much for me overall

#

i love how the eye shuffles around paranoidily

wooden blade
#

Ebonian paladin having wings is cool tho

fringe quiver
#

paranoidily? paranoidcally?

#

Idk its not really cool to me its just There

wooden blade
#

Nah i like ut too

lean relic
#

slime god looking around if he has a chance to run away

fringe quiver
#

like. its not really adding anything to the design its just kinda. hey it has wings now

wooden blade
#

Gives the corr some personality

fringe quiver
#

its not anymore interesting than queen slime

#

the core is the best part of the new design mainly because of the animations, the design itself isn't anything crazy but it's definitely better than. ball

glass path
#

well its slime. i dont see how you could be more interesting than that

wooden blade
#

Yeah but am the only person in this planet to like qs so might be why i like the concept

lean relic
#

i really want slime god appearing in queen slime since the lore

glass path
#

for that the paladins they're good enough imo

fringe quiver
#

I feel like the yin-yang aspect of the current design not being translated to the new one is a missed opportunity

wooden blade
fringe quiver
lean relic
fringe quiver
wooden blade
#

It'd be funny if it had a astral and hallow paladin, just to make it more annoying

lapis oak
#

it would not be funny

glass path
#

well for a prehm boss the design is good enough

fringe quiver
#

the design is purely and utterly Fine

glass path
#

if it does get into hm then prob a redesign?

wooden blade
#

Yeah

fringe quiver
#

it'd be nice if it got a redesign regardless imo

#

And while it's nothing egregious and i'm not saying

#

Yeah if it dosen't get a redesign it sucks etc etc

#

It could absolutely be better

glass path
#

i do really like the bat slime

wooden blade
#

Oh yeah that's for sure

fringe quiver
#

It works but just because it works dosen't mean you can't say it could be better

#

👍

wooden blade
#

It's just that i like the current one, even tho there's good room for progress

#

Like if it released the way it's shown but more finished i'd be fine with it tbf

fringe quiver
#

The core is heading into a nice direction imo, albeit i feel like it lacks personality outside of the anims, it's a bit more than just a ball but the design is still rather simplistic

#

While it

#

absolutely is a improvement

#

over the previous design

#

Again i think it's a really big missed opportunity that the yin-yang motifs of the previous design, which arguably fit more with its new lore than the previous old lore it was designed for, are not present in the new design in any way

#

It's a god that keeps and upholds balance, but this isn't communicated through its design in any way currently

wooden blade
#

It is? I thought this was for his old lore where he bazically controlled eveey slime

fringe quiver
#

Slime God's entire deal is that it acts as a paragon of balance

#

It's mentioned multiple times

#

Credit where credit is due, as i said before the Animations for the core are great and have alot of personality, fitting Slime God's cowardly, paranoid nature by showing it having erratic eye movements and such, that one's pretty good

fringe quiver
#

also yeah goozma is literally a thing

#

It's Literally A Slime Boss In Terraria that has a Far More Interesting Design

glass path
#

bros like endgame boss it aitn a fair comparison

fringe quiver
#

It is actually because it being a endgame boss is not relevant to the design philosophy behind it

cunning sequoia
#

doesnt matter

wooden blade
#

Yeah i see what you're talking about when speaking about balance now

cunning sequoia
#

you can make a cool mid-game boss

fringe quiver
#

Desert Scourge is literally the first boss in the mod and he's getting one of the most visually interesting designs in the whole mod

#

Something being fought early does not mean it can't be interesting, whether mechanically or visually

wooden blade
#

Yeah i fucking love his redesign for now tho

fringe quiver
#

If anything

iron dew
#

bosses being early isnt an excuse to cop out on actually interesting design choices lol

fringe quiver
#

You want to give players a good initial impression

wooden blade
#

He feels like an actual desert worm

fringe quiver
#

Imagine players who never see the cool endgame content

#

Because they get driven away be the earlygame content being mid

#

many such cases

fringe quiver
wooden blade
#

Well they need to start somewhere with redesigns and reworks

fringe quiver
#

The devs are doing a great job so far

#

The new stuff looks absolutely peak

wooden blade
#

Hence why pre hardmode bosses are a priority

wooden blade
#

I jad this impression when seeing his redesign (mainly the mouth)

fringe quiver
wooden blade
#

.... Are we talking aboit the same resprite?

#

Idk if i can show the one am thinking about

#

Cuz i didn't kniw the design looks like a croc now

fringe quiver
#

Are you talking about the one ingame

#

Because it's dead

wooden blade
#

No not this one

agile latch
wooden blade
#

Ik it's dead

i assume desert scourge lore will change since hes not a serpent anymore

He's a long bodied reptilian thing

#

Still serpent enough

glass path
#

?

#

how

fringe quiver

Well

he's a long bodied reptilian thing

that aint a serpent guy

Dragons were historically often called serpents

the thing has limbs

fringe quiver

Semantics Don't Matter

I waa thinking of this one

rose laurel

Scourge being a serpent doesn't really impact anything anyways so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fringe quiver
#

I LOVE

#

arguing about SEMANTICS ! fuck YEAH

wooden blade
fringe quiver
#

Dog is biologically neither because hes a alien from another dimension

#

it dosent matter because you can still call him a serpent

#

ladybirds are not ladies nor birds they are beetles

#

whale sharks are also not whales

wooden blade
#

Wow

lapis oak
#

I call cheese serpent

fringe quiver
#

snakegirl3005

cunning sequoia
#

if hes the nameless serpent why does he have two names

fringe quiver
#

nameless serpent
devourer of gods

look inside

#

real name

#

bob

wooden blade
#

Plus considering it's god

fringe quiver
#

ok but devourer having a lame ass incredibly mundane name and calling himself shit like "devourer of gods"

wooden blade
#

Wouldn't that make him a deity?

fringe quiver
#

would be in character.

wooden blade
#

A nameless deity?

cunning sequoia
fringe quiver
#

he just eats them

#

he goes yum yum

#

delicious god

#

and eats the god

wooden blade
#

Why does he say "a god does not fear death" then?

fringe quiver
#

because his ego is fucking massive

#

and also outdated dialogue

wooden blade
#

Massive...

cunning sequoia
#

cause hes a powerscaler

wooden blade
#

Oh ok

fringe quiver
#

honestly while the dialogue is outdated

#

yeah no hed dsay that

lapis oak
#

I call myself god what are you gonna do about that ultimatesmug

fringe quiver
#

not because hes actually a god just because he thinks of himself as one

cunning sequoia
#

"okay but i CANT die im a god gods are like hyperomnishittoversal"

wooden blade
#

I hope with his rework he'll get new dialogue too

rose laurel
#

Also we'd be hanged publically if we changed that line

fringe quiver
#

@flat rose cough cough

wooden blade
#

Removing his most iconic line would just cause purists to be mad

rose laurel
#

"A GOD DOES NOT FEAR DEATH" is, and I don't think this is an exaggeration

#

Probably the single most famous thing from the mod

wooden blade
#

With yharon's phase 2

cunning sequoia
#

getting rid of "kid" in his lines already made a lot of people mad

#

and "its not over yet kid" was probably the second most iconic line

rose laurel
#

Removing that line would be a bad idea because
1 - It's a hardass line
2 - It'd make a lot of people mad
3 - It'd be a massive brand destruction

fringe quiver
#

i'm a bit conflicted on sparing calclone mainly because i feel like having TWO calamitases to give therapy to might be 😭 but i'm not really against it, i have barely no info on it atm after all and i'm sure y'all are gonna discuss it properly

lapis oak
#

classic

#

give it back

cunning sequoia
#

turn calamity into MoR i wanna spare half the bosses

lapis oak
#

😢

fringe quiver
#

Since at that point calclone would also seemingly be redeemable

wooden blade
#

The idea would then to make every boss the worst person you know

fringe quiver
#

Again though

#

i dunno what the details of this idea r

#

so /shrug

#

cant say im against it, just initially have somewhat mixed feelings

#

it could b interesting though

fringe quiver
lean cave

#

ok but like

unironically

that'd be funny

#

you guys know chaos king deltarune

lean cave
#

yea

fringe quiver
#

you guys know how hes like ughhh im so tired ughh im sorry i dont wanna fight anymore please heal meee and then ralsei is like ok ^-^ and then hes healed and just beats everyone up

#

that type of shit would unironically be great characterization for dog

cunning sequoia
#

wait true

#

have dog let you throw him a healing potion

DoG pretending to give up would be fire

lean relic

DoG gaslighting people

lean cave

actually

wooden blade
#

It'd be fucking funny tho

lean cave
#

i think that would kinda lessen the blow of yharon doing it tbh

wooden blade
#

And in character

glass path
#

me when i still see 60% of his healthbar left

fringe quiver
#

it'd be simultaneouslyt really funny to see ppls reaction and also just be great characterization for him

lapis oak
#

no one is buying that if his health staying at 1 health bar ultimatesmug

cunning sequoia
#

if the "phase 2 in the distortion" idea sticks then it would be cool if you could let him escape

fringe quiver
#

it'd show that yeah hes an deceitful bastard who you absolutely cant trust

wooden blade
#

No cuz yharon directly fights you in phase 2

cunning sequoia
#

and if he does he gets armor and phase 2 takes place in the overworld

fringe quiver
#

he tricks you into thinking he's giving up, that you've really pushed him to his limits and that he's calling it here, so you two just go your merry ways, and that he'll leave you alone

cunning sequoia
#

but if you attack him you chase him into the distortion and it takes place in there instead

grave geyser
#

I have come to the conclusion that dog is general grievous as a giant worm

wooden blade
#

Just for him to then rush at your ass and bring you to the distorsion

cunning sequoia

specifically clone wars grievous

aka a giant pussy who thinks he's hot shit

He is hot shit

wooden blade
rose laurel
#

He just thinks he's the hottest shit around when there a good few people above him

cunning sequoia
#

ok yeah

#

thats what i meant

grave geyser
#

I mean both are:
weird ailiens
have unique armor
serve a role of killing the big faction
are powerful in their own right but still pawns for something greater
have ego problems
fight dirty

like

wooden blade

And are also greatly graded in the villain's army

and then if you wait out and "leave him alone" he disappears and reapers from a portal with his armor and just immediately kills you, getting a sarcastic message in chat of him mocking you

wooden blade
#

"get dunked onnnn"

lean cave
#

ok

#

imagine its a forced death

#

fuck hardcore ong

buoyant orbit

lmfao guess i forgor the details in the current sprite
rip then

nvm me

naw it would be funnier if it wasnt forced

buoyant orbit
cunning sequoia

imagine still beating his ass after that

grave geyser
cunning sequoia
#

make him as salty as possible

fringe quiver

It'd be funnier if it wasn't forced and it just came out of nowhere and did alot of damage so if you're caught by surprise you just die instantly

I though he would be a flesh version of a mechanic worm in mor

fringe quiver
#

it's very ironic how new DS is somewhat crocodilian in design and i always used a crocodile in a dry lake analogy to explain how DS was biologically the exact same as it was while the sunken sea was still fully intact and it didn't actually evolve and just adapted
