[urban cloak]

fuckin

scal

??

idrk

[cobalt wharf]

providence

thats basically it

[sonic sparrow]

king slime

[mystic eagle]

Also Guards, maybe??

[pseudo vector]

scal is basically fine the way she is

[lyric trellis]

Betsy

[urban cloak]

everyone has some kind of idea(s) for every boss so it really depends on the scale of said ideas

[vapid aurora]

🚪 👈

[pseudo vector]

her theme alone would demand a structured fight regardless of what we could do with her

[sonic sparrow]

aight cya

[snow moth]

Providence and SCal are surely not receiving major gameplay changes. There may be others as well, but those two have been identified by the team as "good enough" and only needing slight adjustments.

[vapid aurora]

NOOOOOO WAIT

[mystic eagle]

Alr

[vapid aurora]

DON'T GO IN THERE

[sonic sparrow]

I actually gtg smh

[pseudo vector]

and yeah provi is fine as well minus a couple little nitpicks on my end about her

[silk terrace]

also the fact that yeah scal and provi could recieve changes, there are a lot of bosses that need way more

[pseudo vector]

said nitpicks being about the globs on the ground

other than that i have no quarrels with provi

[dusk bronze]

the ravager in the corner:

[snow moth]

the signus in the shadows:

[mystic eagle]

Personally I find Profaned Guardians and Ceaseless Void to also be mostly fine rn

Guards could use a little less flame spam and CV less unpredictability

[silk terrace]

like everything about crabulon:

[hasty tangle]

i think guardians are underrated

[dull heart]

CV in dev is pretty good

[lapis oak]

of course you would say that

[mystic eagle]

Same

It's my favorite fight in the mod

[cobalt wharf]

guy that changed a thing: i like this thing that i changed

[urban cloak]

guardians i have to refight to see how i like em cause i remember having a few issues with em

[silk terrace]

wonder what doze's opinion on dog is now....

[pseudo vector]

i really liked guardians when i fought them last week

[vapid aurora]

It's underrated cause providence is after so it is mainly overlooked

[mystic eagle]

Most of my issues from Guards stem from the small flames being hard to see

[cobalt wharf]

guards just need work on p1 and p2 to not feel super unfair to inexperienced players

their hovering behavior is really bad

[hasty tangle]

no, a lot of ppl say they actively hate guardians

[lyric trellis]

Better than “people are gonna hate this”

[vapid aurora]

Damn

[dusk bronze]

holy shit it's gandalf

[snow moth]

grey or white

we gotta settle this

[hasty tangle]

both

[dusk bronze]

looks like white

[snow moth]

let the man speak

[vapid aurora]

I'm both at the same time

[hasty tangle]

and monty python and the holy grial's black knight

[arctic cliff]

his pfp is white

so white

[urban cloak]

gandalf the grey and gandalf the white and monty py-

damn it gp

[silk terrace]

cop out answer

[quiet forge]

Gandalf superposition?

[snow moth]

which in turn is better than "I actively made these changes because I knew people would not like them"

[mystic eagle]

Fabsol removing Ravager Pillars contact dmg

[snow moth]

do they know that ravager pillars are solid now

[hasty tangle]

yes

[snow moth]

ok good

[hasty tangle]

doze has said it a few times

[snow moth]

excellent, no further commentary then

[dusk bronze]

more than a few

[mystic eagle]

I didn't know that

[snow moth]

[silk terrace]

@dull heart can i tell them about their special weakness

[lyric trellis]

Great design

[mystic eagle]

It's Slagsplitter Pauldron

[dusk bronze]

of course it is

[cobalt wharf]

grass type attacks

[mystic eagle]

Idk I'm just guessing

[snow moth]

There is a time and a place for antagonistic game design and it's OK for devs to intentionally engage with their players antagonistically

[lapis oak]

it's Picksaw

[snow moth]

games like that can be incredibly satisfying because if it feels like the whole game is trying to fuck you over, winning feels that much better

But it's something you have to be really careful about

[dusk bronze]

yeah but doing that shouldn't actively make the game worse for everyone

[mystic eagle]

Oh shit

[lyric trellis]

Very careful master design

[lapis oak]

time to put my Picksaw on slot 1

destroy the rocks

[urban cloak]

i need to see how ravager nohits will look post-sso

[mystic eagle]

Mine Ravager instead

[dull heart]

same

[lapis oak]

wait a minute?

does smart cursor work?

[dull heart]

also no it's not picksaw

it's mining in general

[mystic eagle]

Is it Slagsplitter Paul then?

Oh

[snow moth]

⛏️

[dusk bronze]

first we mine

[dull heart]

the only way to kill them is doing 2000% pickaxe power of dmg

or letting them kill themselves

[mystic eagle]

Why can the Slagsplitter not Split the Slag

[dull heart]

because that would suck

[lapis oak]

does smart cursor work? 😨

[dull heart]

kill the entire reason the rocks are solid to begin with

no

smart cursor doesn't work

[lyric trellis]

Defiled nohitters gonna lose it

[dull heart]

you have to actually hit them with the mining tool

[lapis oak]

I have to aim with the pickaxe 😭

[dull heart]

not just mine like a block

[lapis oak]

it's over for smart cursor

it's finished

[untold chasm]

Does the laser drill work? I feel like that’s such a niche item it might be forgotten

[mystic eagle]

Any other cool changes like that that we can be told?

[dull heart]

yes

laser drill is likely the single best option

giant range and hits rapidly

[dusk bronze]

fire

[untold chasm]

Oh nice!

[lapis oak]

finally I have reasons to use the drill

[cobalt wharf]

i know they forgot about mining explosives tho 🗣️ 🔥

washed devs

[dull heart]

ah yes

dynamite your arena

anyway dynamite doesn't have pickaxe power so sorry

[cobalt wharf]

drill mounts

both onyx excavator and the other one

[dull heart]

does DCU have pick power

i have never thought about this

[cobalt wharf]

i think it does

[dull heart]

also it doesn't deal damage so

nope

same with onyx

[cobalt wharf]

i think it’s unable to mine modded blocks with a certain pick power requirement

[dull heart]

The Drill Mount has 210% pickaxe power, axe power, and hammer power, allowing it to destroy every block and destroy trees in one hit. Its tool speed is 1.[1]

ok

[orchid finch]

I had a dream about a new Providence resprite. It added a literal face to her sprite, but it still was unreadable and she looked like, quote, "a bird lady"

[dusk bronze]

wgat

[orchid finch]

What

[lapis oak]

🤨

[orchid finch]

What?

[dusk bronze]

incomprehensible

[cobalt wharf]

isn’t that the entire point of dreams

[orchid finch]

The face looked weird so it looked like a bird's face, and the overall shape, idk, I guess it can be compared to Yubaba when she transformed into a bird

Let me find it

[dusk bronze]

by face do you mean like
photorealistic human face

[orchid finch]

Almost

Again, it was a dream, you think I could make out the details?

[dusk bronze]

skill issue tbh

[fringe quiver]

I had a dream once they added a new underground hallow boss to calamity

It looked like a giant molar tooth with like crystal legs

[lapis oak]

new boss to Calamity confirmed

[dusk bronze]

biblically accurate tooth fairy

[fringe quiver]

The players complained that it was way too easy so they made an update that made it the hardest boss in the game and then they got sued by jacksepticeye who played the mod and found the boss to be too hard

[orchid finch]

Waht

That's delusional

[fringe quiver]

By definition yeah

[arctic cliff]

fabsol

[fathom girder]

lmfao

Fab absolutely would do that

[dull heart]

who won

the legal battle

[lapis oak]

market plier

[snow moth]

...this sounds like jared 2

hallowed jared

[fringe quiver]

Don't remember unfortunately

I'm gonna assume the giant tooth demon from the hallow was the cause of calamity's downfall and that jacksepticeye won the legal battle because it's funnier that way

[agile latch]

Remind me of when i had a dream i was watching xyk code a alluvion rework

And it shot realistic images of poseidon (the spongebob one) that spinned around

[cobalt wharf]

this could just be in remix right now and nobody would know

[lyric trellis]

Peak weapon

[fathom girder]

needs to be made

rn

[boreal edge]

Xyk still hasn't made the Gacha armor that I dreamt of

[lyric trellis]

Horror

[distant raft]

the game would go viral

[quiet forge]

But look at this, it’s John Pork 🔥

[fathom girder]

is xyk one of the main coders for this mod

I genuinely know next to nothing about him

all I know is he made the brothers rework

[summer shore]

xyk codes stuff

same way triangle sprites stuff

[dusk bronze]

they also make some weapons

[cobalt wharf]

i dont think anybody has distinctive roles other than

this guy codes

this guy sprites

etc

[summer shore]

And ozzatron is the Big Guy

[fathom girder]

i see

[fathom girder]

So he's utter peak in everything related to coding got it

if we're comparing anything to triangle spritework I mean damn

[dusk bronze]

he made orderbringer rework iirc

and scal brothers phase

so yeah

[fathom girder]

deserved yeah

[dull heart]

my role is "make stupid stuff" guy

[lyric trellis]

+5% crit

[dull heart]

true

[stuck kite]

🪑

[fathom girder]

DoG rework is NOT stupid

[dull heart]

you don't know that

[stuck kite]

cue the footage

[fathom girder]

WHERE'S THE PROOF

[dull heart]

Death mode had two stupid ideas put into it

[fathom girder]

show us the devourer

[dull heart]

that ended up working well

[dull heart]

ok i will

in [redacted] days

[fathom girder]

HE SPOILED IT

IT WON'T BE IN A SINGLE DAY

IT'LL BE...

...

welp

SSO in 500 years

[dull heart]

even my good ideas are born from stupid ideas

[fathom girder]

as many ideas go

[dull heart]

actually

yeah nevermind

[fathom girder]

oop

almost got somethin' illegal outta ya

[dull heart]

no

i was just reconsidering my role as "make stupid things" guy

but nah it fits

i just do random things

that sometimes turn out

[fathom girder]

It seems to work most of the time

[lyric trellis]

You’re the Johns guy

[dull heart]

Mirror Blade was based off of a crackhead idea

it's peak

Gilded Proboscis was me like "that stupid byleth move is cool"

[fathom girder]

I think the only one that caused some angered discussion was the stool buff lmao

for whatever reason

[dull heart]

stool buff was the epitome of crackhead

[fathom girder]

So silly that it caused so much discourse

[dusk bronze]

what about your greatest creation, wulf spider

[dull heart]

i'm surprised nobody has bothered to try to revert it

Wulf spider is a second place

no

[fathom girder]

Why would they bother

[dull heart]

maybe

[fathom girder]

Like it's near useless either way

but it's funny

[dull heart]

idk if wulf spider or gravity globe is more stupid

[fathom girder]

Gravity globe fucking rules

[dull heart]

stupid != bad

[summer shore]

grav glove is awesome not stupid

[cobalt wharf]

its certainly going on a list of "weird vanilla changes to revert" in 6-12 months

[dull heart]

my actual most crackhead stupid idea has yet to be seen by the public

[silk terrace]

is it bad i can think of like 3 different things that could be

[dull heart]

no

that means i'm doing my job

i kinda wanna spoil the commit message

but i also kinda don't

[dusk bronze]

post in patreon to gauge reactions

[fathom girder]

yeah show it to patreon first

[pseudo vector]

i haven't even tried death dog yet

[fathom girder]

gotta meter these things out

[silk terrace]

see my issue with the stool buff isn't that you did it, but that you didn't commit to it

[pseudo vector]

i'm lowkey scared of death rework dog

[silk terrace]

5% crit is nothing i better get at least 75% crit chance when standing on that thing

[dull heart]

screw it, note that this is not guaranteed to make it to public (this is on a branch)

[stuck kite]

i got you

[dusk bronze]

absolute cinema

[dull heart]

i will not elaborate as to what this means

I find it unlikely any of you will get it right

[lyric trellis]

Tragic

[dull heart]

noo

not the step stool buff :(

[dull heart]

actually

i have no idea what the other ones you might be thinking of are

oh actually i can think of one of them

the new best DPS accessory moment

[stuck kite]

👁️

[silk terrace]

that is definitely one of them

[dull heart]

i do so many things I have no idea what else that might be

[naive ice]

Tf was the buff

[arctic cliff]

rapidfire projectile

[dull heart]

+5% crit when standing on the stool

[silk terrace]

altix did you remove it already

[naive ice]

That’s fucking useless

[dull heart]

no

[fathom girder]

If it even makes it public, it'll shoot out either a bunch of feathers at you instead of dashing after he summons a spread of lightning bolts or he fires a bunch of lightning bolts at the player

[dusk bronze]

it's hilarious

[dull heart]

the channel hasn't said so

[fathom girder]

I doubt minigun is to be taken literally

[silk terrace]

sweet give me a sec i'm buffing it to 75%

[dull heart]

no wait

make it scale based on height

[fathom girder]

75% crit would break soma prime sunny

[dull heart]

every block above the enemy is 5%

[dusk bronze]

wait cook

[silk terrace]

so true

[fathom girder]

...actually which warframe weapons inherit the warframe crit mechanic

is it only soma prime

[silk terrace]

i still need to make that radar buff where every enemy detected gives 5% crit chance each

[dull heart]

sure... let's go with that

[naive ice]

Tru, tru…

[naive ice]

Yes

[dull heart]

yknow old Ethereal Extorter

with the biome buffs

that but metal detector metals

[dusk bronze]

death blood moon boutta go crazy

[fathom girder]

oh god no

[silk terrace]

rubico prime has a higher crit damage modifier than normal but that's not the same pretty sure

idk i've never played warframe

[fathom girder]

Okay so

lesson time

[naive ice]

Give the battle cry users 235% crit chance

[fathom girder]

In warframe, crit chance and crit damage are separated

HOWEVER

there are critical chance tiers

[dull heart]

this is true in calamity

just rarely relevant

this may be how I made the best DPS accessory

[stuck kite]

1% dodge chance for each hallowed ore on screen

[fathom girder]

0-100 is yellow crit, 100-200 is orange crit, and 200-300 is red crit

each tier is doubled crit damage

[dull heart]

i almost choked on my dr pepper as i read this

not because of the message it was just coincidence

[stuck kite]

i willed it

[fathom girder]

iirc soma prime is the only warframe gun that has the tiered crits thing

in the mod

[dull heart]

the winter cloak should reduce taken cold debuff damage by 50%

[silk terrace]

new accessory that lets you eat ores

each ore gives a unique buff and you can only have one active at a time

[dull heart]

and the crimson cloak should make you have -400 aggro in the crimson

[fathom girder]

Or was it only the bleed mechanic because of slash builds on soma prime being busted..

aaaaaa

[dull heart]

this feels like mistborn reference

[molten grove]

greed ancients awakened !?!?

[silk terrace]

never played

[dull heart]

its a book

[fathom girder]

YO MISTBORN REFERENCE

[silk terrace]

never read

[stuck kite]

why eat ores when you can eat gores

[fathom girder]

It's a series made by brandon sanderson he's awesome

[dull heart]

heard it here first

sunny has never read

[fathom girder]

you HAVE to read the mistborn series

[dusk bronze]

i knew it

[fathom girder]

it's SO GOOD

[silk terrace]

how do you think i became a fan of calamity

[dull heart]

dunno i'm not a fan of calamity

[fathom girder]

what's calamity

[naive ice]

It should do it in the vanity slot

[lyric trellis]

AA….

[fathom girder]

This is the tremor server isn't it

[naive ice]

No, MORE AGGRO

[silk terrace]

wouldn't be the first time we changed a vanity item to an accessory

[dull heart]

ok wait what other crackhead things have i done in cal

oh

[fringe quiver]

make goldfish bowl give you +50 health while your oxygen has ran out plz

[stuck kite]

short scream

[dull heart]

one thing nobody ever saw before i deleted it

i made CV locked to archives

with an arena border

[fathom girder]

wh

cursed

[dusk bronze]

peak

[dull heart]

and made cv disable platforms

[fathom girder]

OH GOD

[dusk bronze]

peaker

[distant raft]

holy shit low ground

[fathom girder]

infernum golem flashbacks

[dull heart]

i was gonna add moving platforms but i got lazy

[naive ice]

Who’s CV again

[distant raft]

add low ground to cal and 50 usd is yours

[dull heart]

ceaseless void

[fathom girder]

wow it really was infernum golem 2

[silk terrace]

i think it goes without saying that this never got implemented

[naive ice]

How fucking dare you

[stuck kite]

would you prefer curriculum vitae

[dull heart]

I did say i deleted it

[fathom girder]

LOL

[naive ice]

Like Edeath golem and Perf

[distant raft]

and deer

[silk terrace]

speaking of goldfish bowl it now makes you count as underwater

[dull heart]

OH YEAH

I DID THAT

I FORGOT

[distant raft]

imo deer's low ground is the most meaningful

[stuck kite]

🐟

[fathom girder]

this is such a neat thing

[silk terrace]

you know what that means

[dull heart]

Goldfish Bowl counts as being in water for calamity effects

[dusk bronze]

infernum aqua scourge cheese?

[dull heart]

this includes blocking Icarus Folly

[fathom girder]

I can break the abyss armor plating thing

[distant raft]

with golem, the arena is so fucking tiny that it doesn't even matter

[dull heart]

Icaus Folly being blocked by being in water is so odd

i have literally never seen anyone do it

[distant raft]

defiled ravager gone from trivial to braindead

[fathom girder]

If you have icarus folly and fall in water you should die

[silk terrace]

logically, it makes sense

from a gameplay perspective, fucking why???

[fathom girder]

Because icarus does that

[lyric trellis]

Trying to know what this means but I can’t remember cause all I remember is the Greed worm dialogue

[fathom girder]

when he falls in the water

[dull heart]

no, ravager does Weak Petrification

[fathom girder]

after melting

[naive ice]

Niceeee

[silk terrace]

weak petrification was so funny

[distant raft]

oh right

its prov

[lyric trellis]

Old nohit memes about water arena provi…

[dull heart]

i should show a screenshot of death golem

ravager*

[fathom girder]

Old malice nohit memes with water arena ravager

[distant raft]

what if prov just scorched all water within a 50 tile radius

[fathom girder]

noita style?

[naive ice]

Does he have a skull instead of a regular head

[fathom girder]

turns it to steam

[dull heart]

death ravager is a crackhead thing I did too

[silk terrace]

i need to try sagi's golem nerfs and give feedback

if you have a few you should do the same doze

[distant raft]

massive fucking shockwave that kills a bunch of things

[stuck kite]

aaaaa

[fringe quiver]

theres something comedic about this

[fathom girder]

I'm scared

[plush jolt]

good morning

[fathom girder]

hello

[dull heart]

another crackhead thing i did: grape beer

[silk terrace]

yea that was the last one

[distant raft]

i forget is grape beer even a thing irl

[trail pilot]

[dull heart]

makes sense

[lyric trellis]

Right that’s a noise

[naive ice]

Sounds tasty.

[plush jolt]

what date calamity will be open lauch?

[distant raft]

oh right it is

[fathom girder]

Calamity update never

[distant raft]

i have never heard of a single person actually enjoying it

[naive ice]

What

[distant raft]

14 fargo attoseconds

[dull heart]

well in calamity grape beer will make your bullets home in for you

so

that's cool

[trail pilot]

Next update will be DoG rework

Fr

[naive ice]

No it doesn’t?

[dull heart]

about that

[distant raft]

they added chlorophyte bullet to everything

</3

[dull heart]

will

[lyric trellis]

Excited for this to end well

[naive ice]

Oh

[plush jolt]

this is the calamity page? from epic games?

[dull heart]

clash royale laugh noise

[trail pilot]

Calamity is always open launch

[distant raft]

this is for the mod for terraria

[naive ice]

This is the mod

[trail pilot]

This isnt bruh

[distant raft]

i don't think tmodloader is on epic games

[dusk bronze]

[plush jolt]

oh.. wrong page sorry

[naive ice]

Lmao

[lyric trellis]

Calamity Roblox ro ghoul 2

[trail pilot]

xD

[silk terrace]

did you check grape beer with marksman rounds btw?

[dull heart]

hmm i know i'm forgetting another change i did that was wild

[dull heart]

ooh

no

[naive ice]

Makes sense

[silk terrace]

probably worth checking

[dull heart]

it probably just makes marksman suck

because you can't hit the coin

[silk terrace]

probably, but accounting for edge cases is good

[dull heart]

yeah

either way the downside being crit damage down means

[cobalt wharf]

im very curious to learn how many safeguards are actually on grape beer

[dull heart]

rip marksman

[dull heart]

there is like 2

[distant raft]

i think edge cases should never be studied so that people get access to absolutely batshit insane wacky tech

[dusk bronze]

ture

[dull heart]

it only works on projectiles that spawn really close to the player

that are ranged damage

[cobalt wharf]

theres the extreme side where holdout projectiles begin homing and flying towards enemies

[dull heart]

and at a limited rate

[cobalt wharf]

me with my possessed phantasm

[dull heart]

and aren't holdouts

i forgot that

[cobalt wharf]

theres also the boring side where it just does nothing

[dull heart]

holdouts teleport to the player

i forgot to make them not do it at first

[distant raft]

dratalornius tearing itself out of my hands to go explode on ares

[dull heart]

you should have seen when grape beer worked on hydrothermic vent

[dusk bronze]

lmao

[cobalt wharf]

THE SUMMON PROJECTILE??

[dull heart]

yes

it would stay above the player but shifted slightly towards the nearest enemy

and the fireballs homed in

obviously very broken

anyway I have a way to solve grape beer

I just learned how to do it today

I can just use an EntitySource to ensure it spawned from a weapon that uses the ammo types

it already works but that should make it much more resilient

[cobalt wharf]

haveto think about crossmod always

is it able to set projectiles to cultistisresistantto btw

[distant raft]

doesnt cultist lose the homing resist in cal

[dull heart]

ok i got the screenshot

[cobalt wharf]

its still used to detect homing projectiles for items that shouldnt give a benefit to homing projectiles

[distant raft]

ah

[lyric trellis]

Shitpost

[dusk bronze]

rav in jungle?

[dull heart]

due to how this works, no. that can be only set for an entire type of projectile

[cobalt wharf]

i thought as much

[dull heart]

any calamity thing that uses the current automatic homing thing has that issue

like arterial assault

[lyric trellis]

It is a golem clone after all

[cobalt wharf]

i wonder what the solution to this looks like

[fathom girder]

what the fuck

what

the fuck

doze what is this

what did you DO

WHY ARE THERE THREE

[dull heart]

death

[fathom girder]

YEAH

[cobalt wharf]

can you add another one in the bottom corner

[fathom girder]

I WILL DO THAT A LOT

[dull heart]

is this better

[dusk bronze]

yeah

[dull heart]

(this screenshot is very misleading)

[jaunty stag]

Yo a question john I

[fathom girder]

oh was this during cooldown testing or sumn

I'm

scared

but it should at least be fun for once

[jaunty stag]

I've seen some talk about a undead gauntlet event but I dont really understand what its supposed to be

[cobalt wharf]

spoilerous

[dull heart]

this is more accurate

[dusk bronze]

you should probably ask triangle about that

[fathom girder]

okay platform arenas will be necessary

unless you can break the walls

[lyric trellis]

How fast can I fly up

[kindred night]

calamity 4.0 the woke update

[dull heart]

about that

[fathom girder]

do they...

doze...................................................................

[distant raft]

overseen by me

[cobalt wharf]

he stole fargo souls low ground

[dull heart]

they function they just

aren't needed as much as it looks

[lyric trellis]

Slow attacking weapons in hell

[stuck kite]

the nefarious rock pillars

[fathom girder]

I see

[dull heart]

fight is very doable grounded without breaking the pillars

[jaunty stag]

Wait the devs dont even tell each other lol

[dusk bronze]

eh

[dull heart]

it feels very deerclopscore

[jaunty stag]

For what I understood atleast it was sum about fighting weakened dead versions of something

[stuck kite]

shroomite digging claws meta

[fathom girder]

Deerclops design structure for a calamity boss sounds interesting

[lyric trellis]

Terrifying sentence

[iron dew]

low ground la fargofonie

[lyric trellis]

I hope the rockets telefrag you now

[dusk bronze]

the current version of undead gauntlet will be an event in the early hardmode sunken sea (timeless shores) where you fight 5 former warriors from ilmeris

that are like minibosses

idk if it's changed since then

[vivid hemlock]

theres also some lesser enemies

[jaunty stag]

Ahh thats all the information I wanted

[fathom girder]

...how much of that are we supposed to know

I don't recall that being revealed here

[jaunty stag]

Just making a list for my friends so they know what releases and when

[distant raft]

at least 2 of it

[fathom girder]

I mighta just missed it though

[vivid hemlock]

triangle talked about it last year

[fathom girder]

explains a lot

I wasn't quite as active till recently

[dusk bronze]

if it's a triangle thing, safe to say he's mentioned all of it here

[fathom girder]

temporary walls

[dull heart]

deerclops if the shadow hands don't shadow

[kindred night]

ravager hands

[trail pilot]

Damn this is only channel alive rn

[fringe quiver]

Generally different developers focus on different things

[dusk bronze]

i have a list maybe

[fringe quiver]

glory to spoileria 🫡 sso september-october 🙏

[jaunty stag]

I got everything done alr I just didnt know what the undead gauntlet was

[jaunty stag]

Just expected some communication between each other on how stuff has progressed thats all

[dull heart]

oh also for the record

i buffed rock pillars significantly

immune to all debuffs

[dusk bronze]

🔥

[distant raft]

500k hp 👀

[dull heart]

everything does 1 damage

1800 HP

well

not everything does 1 damage

most things deal 1 damage

[distant raft]

what if they didnt crumble after a little bit so you had to kill ravager fast

[dull heart]

he spawns them every jump now that would suck

[kindred night]

allow us to burn the pillar's blood

[fringe quiver]

As someone whos also on a fairly large dev team usually most devs sorta stick to their own thing, most of the devs generally have a surface level knowledge of other departments and things but w ill only really know extensively about either things theyre actively working on or things that they need to know in order to help them guide with the thing theyre working on, ex: a designer knowing a npc's lore to better design to reflect it, or an asset artist knowing an enemy's ingame behavior to make its animations

i assume its similar for cal, and from what ive seen it basically is yeah

[dusk bronze]

fun fact ozz had literally no idea what undead gauntlet was bc triangle never posted it on the official dev to do list

[jaunty stag]

I mean I really just wanted surface level information since I had no idea what the gauntlet was

Only saw devs talking about it

[fringe quiver]

triangular momento

[fringe quiver]

Fair don't worry i'm not like trying to b mean or anything

[jaunty stag]

Nah I get that

Im just refering to me expecting for Johns to know the surface level information of what triangular was working on

I was expecting the devs to have meetings or something right

Though I am quite interested on how a underwater event is gonna work

[fringe quiver]

undead gauntlet is also only coming in a later update so i assume its not like super prioritized rn

[jaunty stag]

Yeah I know pt2 not 1

[fringe quiver]

It'll b in the timeless shores so i assume it might be like, 50/50

we know acid rain tier 3 will also have a dedicated underwater segment when its reworked tho

phase 2 of it i think..

[jaunty stag]

Events having phases is pretty sick

[fringe quiver]

yeah the acid rain reowrk stuff is pretty cool

tier 3 has 3 phases, each with a boss at the end

phase 1 is on land and has a big ass frog, phase 2 is underwater and has mauler, phase 3 is mixed and has nuclear terror

[slate folio]

Big deltarune spoiler

[jaunty stag]

Interesting

But what about old duke?

He usually spawns at the end of tier 3 so how will he spawn after the update "if it's known"?

[fringe quiver]

Old Duke will be mobved away from acid rain

Still will be a post ml sulphur sea boss tho

nuclear terror will mark the end of it instead

[jaunty stag]

I guess some people were complaining about having to do a full event for him to spawn

[agile latch]

I mean, it was talked multiple times in dev server and hopefully its on taiga (i hope it is, if not i really need to add it there ), so unless you want me to dm each of the 40 devs in the server about it, i would say its been communicated properly anyway it will be on pt 2. So it isnt a thing im really focusing on rn

[agile latch]

Sulphur sea boss, sorta

If all go well, and cal get subworlds going, there will be a special thing

Possibly

[jaunty stag]

As I said I just expected there to be like a board where you having everything about the mod on

Which someone said existed

[lyric trellis]

Old duke painting

[dusk bronze]

triangle stop vagueposting about jade palace

[arctic cliff]

man really wants the old duke to become an eastern dragon

[agile latch]

its not a jade palace..

More off a sanctuary (offshoots aerie)

[cobalt wharf]

fade palace

[agile latch]

But yea OD do have eastern (more so chinese) dragon inspirations

The old duke low fade system

[jaunty stag]

well found out now about what ever the jade palace is

[agile latch]

Ozz also is not part of the sunken sea development (by choice), atleast was not, idk if they plan to now as they are the mod owner

So it makes sense they wouldnt knew about it

[dusk bronze]

old duke themed subworld that triangle wants to add but is a big maybe

[lyric trellis]

Aerie from temu

[hardy gulch]

tringle posting about jade palace as if it was a real thing in cal lore

[agile latch]

Its more of a structure than a subworld

[dusk bronze]

interesting

[jaunty stag]

Did not expect old duke to be that important only know hes an offshot of Auric Dragons

[agile latch]

If it becomes real it will be a pseudo arena for new OD, the place where you do his quests, and also for worldbuilding and story telling

[hardy gulch]

[lyric trellis]

Collect our sinister dukes

[agile latch]

He got a rewrite and redesign a while ago, and now he is being reborn

As a lotus flower

[cobalt wharf]

every boss has quests now

[agile latch]

As in, full redesign, new guy

No longer a fishron

[dusk bronze]

duke of theseus

[hardy gulch]

he wants you to collect his pigrons

[limber kiln]

I LOVE INFERNUM DOG!!!

[agile latch]

the only bosses with quests ever mentioned were cal clone, signus, scal and OD

[dull heart]

wrong channel

[limber kiln]

WHAT

[cobalt wharf]

exos too

[agile latch]

Do you count codebreaker as a quest?

[hardy gulch]

wdym scal and exos quests

[agile latch]

If yes, i guess it is one

[dusk bronze]

unironically please please please simegod quest

[cobalt wharf]

depends how literal you want to be with the definition

[agile latch]

Just indev discussions, zero plans, zero confirmations

[fringe quiver]

i mean

statis

[agile latch]

Just a "it was mentioned" ™

[dusk bronze]

only confirmed for signus

[lyric trellis]

SHPC quest (getting the bullshit scrap after searching for hours)

[agile latch]

Tbf, a mod with some focus on story telling having quests tied to its important characters isnt a bad thing

Just depend on execution

And quest systems can be done in very diverse ways

[lyric trellis]

2 whole bosses related to statis while Braelor ain’t doing shit 🥀

[agile latch]

Like the possible old duke ones would be substantially diferent from amidias

[kindred night]

solution

[fringe quiver]

triangle have i shown you my old duke gif

[kindred night]

dont play mage

[fringe quiver]

the gif i associate with old duke

[agile latch]

Which gif

[fringe quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/elephant-seal-godzilla-happy-feet-mm-gif-27239668

[agile latch]

[fringe quiver]

this one

it reminds me of old duke

i dont know why

i just look at it and go yep old duke

[agile latch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/716867315869810770/1081073067784155206/overdosingonstardust.gif

[buoyant pulsar]

i like how scal and exos are thematic opposites

[agile latch]

Technically the signus fight is also sort of a

Statis fight

[buoyant pulsar]

it's just an attack helicopter now

[kindred night]

storm weaver

[buoyant pulsar]

is this loss

[kindred night]

unfortunately not

[dull heart]

no

ravager loss

i can do that

but i don't want to

[lyric trellis]

Is Signus about to pull up his soul contract with Statis and make us fight him?

[kindred night]

make gfb dragonfolly pull a nameless deity and just pull out a feather minigun

[buoyant pulsar]

yeah

checks out

[fathom girder]

Nah nah nah

pull a gfb nameless and give him a scarily real looking minigun and it throttles him backwards as he fires it at you

while the heavy goes "ratatatatatata" in the background

[hardy gulch]

signus pulls up his freak contract

[pearl sentinel]

iirc signus is technically using statis' body

[snow moth]

@dusk bronze This is correct, and I am still trying to stay out of sunken sea. Not because I hate it or something, but because I have too many other things to do, and I can't be leading the sunken sea and everything else at the same time.

[dusk bronze]

oh yeah that's fine i just thought it was funny

[flat vine]

I know we’re getting some love for the sunken sea, but NGL I would like to eventually see the granite / marble biome get some more love, , poor guys one of the most forgettable biomes

The frost legion of world generation

[naive ice]

Marinite

[naive ice]

If yall could add a class to terraria what would you add

Because why not

[dull heart]

Math

[naive ice]

I’d add a mechanic.

[lean relic]

Duelist

[naive ice]

Explain

[naive ice]

Mechanic would be Sentry Summoner. BUT ACTUALLY GOOD

[naive ice]

Elaborate

[arctic cliff]

dragon communion

if yknow yknow

[naive ice]

So adding faith builds to Terraria or just dragon communion

[arctic cliff]

dragon communion

[naive ice]

Sure

[arctic cliff]

(although... how the hell would you add a faith build to terraria?)

[naive ice]

Very carefully

[summer shore]

1% chance 99% faith

[tropic jolt]

100% faith 0% vigor

[naive ice]

Idk, we’re spitballing

[arctic cliff]

75% faith 25% arcane

[naive ice]

Mechanic would have actually good sentry gameplay

You would use different metals and gems to create different constructs

[summer shore]

That just sounds like normal progression

[naive ice]

Sentry gaming

[silk terrace]

alchemist

[oblique escarp]

I could swear that cosmolight was getting resprited

[hallow sierra]

Are there more plans to add to post ml aside from bosses besides the distortion and aerie? Just wondering, I know the devs are working on a lot :)

[buoyant pulsar]

some class with a parry system probably

[naive ice]

Nice

[buoyant pulsar]

idk i'd have to give it more thought

probably an engineer or mechanic class

[hallow sierra]

Hmm lemme think

[buoyant pulsar]

it would play a little like summoner i think but with a much larger emphasis on sentries??? idk

[naive ice]

Real

[buoyant pulsar]

it would be more defensive; instead of whips, you would direct your machines with more complicated commands than you would have for summons

[naive ice]

That is basically exactly what I said.

[buoyant pulsar]

oh lol

[naive ice]

This

Great minds think alike ig

[hallow sierra]

Probably some sort of physical attacker but based on movement, and not a lot of projectiles, think shield of Cthulhu

[buoyant pulsar]

i think a mechanic class could have non-sentries. imagine laser point-defense drones that you control with commands to organize into different patterns manually

they'd follow your cursor maybe, zap projectiles out of the air to defend you,

idk

[hallow sierra]

So like a weapon where you launch yourself at an enemy

[stuck kite]

this is idealised melee

imo

[hallow sierra]

Yeah pretty much lol

[misty wren]

momentum melee...

[hallow sierra]

True melee but movement

I’d say alchemist but that’s not an original idea

[naive ice]

The momentum class

[naive ice]

I solve practical problems.

L I K E O V E R P O P U L A T I O N

[hallow sierra]

Summoner but npcs lmao

That’s not my real answer though

[summer shore]

Jackhammer ultrakill...

Beloved

[naive ice]

Constructs

[hallow sierra]

Artificer class

You have some components and you combine them to make a makeshift sentry or mage weapon

That’s a strange idea though

[naive ice]

That’s kinda cool…

[hallow sierra]

Idk I feel like alchemist is kinda the only class I can think of that the game has room for imo

I do like the idea of movement based melee but you’d have to try really hard to make it differ from true melee

[naive ice]

Yeah…

We are mostly spitballing here. Some dude said dragon communion from Elden ring

[arctic cliff]

[hallow sierra]

I’ve played Elden ring, but haven’t gotten far enough to know what that is

[naive ice]

It’s a faith thing

[arctic cliff]

to put it simply, certain Dragons in Elden Ring drop Dragon Hearts. At two locations in the base game, you can straight up eat these Dragon Hearts to gain incantations (Faith-specific spells)

the vast majority of them turn your head into a dragon and breath fire or some other substance

[buoyant pulsar]

just the true melee class then. parries, shield bumps, momentum-based damage, a shitload of mobility, glass cannon

this is what i had in mind when i said Duelist

i fw it heavy

[buoyant pulsar]

like broken biome blade crim/corrupt attunement

[hallow sierra]

Shield surfing class

[buoyant pulsar]

agree

[naive ice]

Hell yes

[hallow sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-the-legend-of-zelda-link-shield-surfing-gif-16653076

[naive ice]

FUCK YEAH

[hallow sierra]

I don’t usually play melee or true melee but I would fw that

[buoyant pulsar]

summoner but you summon huge hordes of stuff, but your minions can take damage and die

[naive ice]

Zerg summoner.

[buoyant pulsar]

ough...... its peak...........

[hallow sierra]

Wait if there’s a movement based class with parries then….

||ultrakill class||

[hallow sierra]

Oh it’s like that one game

Uhhh

[hallow sierra]

Overlord???

I think

[naive ice]

I remember that game

[hallow sierra]

Maybe a class where you deal damage to yourself but it deals big damage to enemy’s in a radius, so you have to balance your health and your dps, health regen becomes very important

And maybe some armor set bonuses can buff health regen

[obtuse needle]

omg

more abyss content

[summer shore]

Wrong channel

[obtuse needle]

😭

[arctic cliff]

okay thats about it
the sheer amount of people who mistake what this channel is for is too much to just say "yea its fine being #calamity-update-talk "

can we rename it to calamity-future-content

[lapis oak]

No

Cope with it

[obtuse needle]

i just saw and thought maybe this is spoilers for people who dont know much about calamity? so i just sent it

mb

[hard hearth]

no

[white vigil]

0% chance dog rework is coming in sso

[lean relic]

which dog rework

[hard hearth]

that one

[dull heart]

about that...

[white vigil]

You can’t trick me

Most likely a bunch of cosmilite tier reworks

[buoyant pulsar]

i'm for this change

[desert garnet]

[azure oak]

check #spoilers

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

[oblique escarp]

since the orderbringer is being retiered, what will happen to elemental Excalibur?

[mystic eagle]

Will likely stay the same

[valid crypt]

Being axed

[mystic eagle]

Wait is Iridescent Excalibur being removed?

[orchid finch]

Unfortunately

[valid crypt]

Yeah

[orchid finch]

Or not idk

[fringe quiver]

they should make an addon that jjust removes all avalon references from calamity

[mystic eagle]

Haven't seen confirmation about this in any channel

[fringe quiver]

It's being merged with orderbringer

[valid crypt]

Ok

[fringe quiver]

more or less

[mystic eagle]

ah

Rest in peace the only unique Shadowspec weapon

(in the sense of it not being a dev item)

[little crypt]

new tier 5 theme

[mystic eagle]

I can clearly see the Tier 4 text there

[little crypt]

ops

[lean relic]

fusing the orderbringer with Iridescent Excalibur

[mystic eagle]

Iridescent Roxcalibur

[lean relic]

auto correct is insane

[pulsar cobalt]

iridbringer roxcalibur

[little crypt]

here tier 5

[hard hearth]

orderbringer of the cosmos

[torn kite]

Sunken Sea Overhaul part 1 tomorrow?

[gritty torrent]

the two are not related

orderbringer isn't shadowspec

[oblique escarp]

in the teaser video the orderbringer used the elemental excalibur sprite

[gritty torrent]

that's weird

probably a placeholder since orderbringer had an already well-made sprite

nothing about the resprite in changelogs

[hushed hazel]

orderbringer ate elexcal's sprite

[gritty torrent]

also i know it's basically with no gear but if it's a shadowspec tier weapon its dps is really bad

also aotc was very memorable because it was a no-brainer for scal, that's why it was so popular, i think they would want to keep it at the same tier for nostalgia factor or something

[hushed hazel]

shadowspec balance doesn't exist

[gritty torrent]

there are earlier weapons stronger than that 💔

[valid crypt]

Orderbringer is a post yharon weapon

Or will be

[gritty torrent]

i know :ombgus:

[nova talon]

i want it toooooo

[fringe quiver]

elemental excalibur is dying

kill avalon references

[torn kite]

Wdym too

I don't want update to come out

[kind tinsel]

hello the shitter

[nova talon]

why not

[valid crypt]

How much of calamity is an avalon reference

[kind tinsel]

all of it

kill calamity

[valid crypt]

:/

[torn kite]

I want devs to have development hell and for mod to die without updating

[valid crypt]

I werent asking you

[valid crypt]

I cant tell if you sre being serious or not

[nova talon]

yeah seems like a foreseeable future

i dont get why they dont give us mini updates once a month

[fringe quiver]

the money that goes into updating calamity mod is actually sourced from coal mines in madagascar which are worked on by baby gnomes. you SUPPORT this sort of thing? #downwithbigcalamity

[nova talon]

i support the baby gnomes with protein powder

[kind tinsel]

i think cal should be AA remake actually

[torn kite]

Hi

[fringe quiver]

too much...

kill the avalon references

🙏

[valid crypt]

Dont kill polter :(

[fringe quiver]

no hate avalon development gang if u guys r like still real and alive and working on the mod

im sure your mod is great but this shit so ass

[kind tinsel]

vaema

[hushed hazel]

they've mentioned wanting to change how they do updates so people don't have to wait over a year for anything notable again

[kind tinsel]

its just vaema

[fringe quiver]

wait

is

is vaema

the one working on the avalon remake

nvm gang i take back what i said

[kind tinsel]

he's on the team i think

[valid crypt]

Pain

[kind tinsel]

or at least always in a vc with blah

[fringe quiver]

calamity mod embracing the drop system

thanks mogang

mauljand

[flat folio]

Is the Oblivion in the room with us right now?

[kind tinsel]

this reminds me of the consult vaema for advice incident

[valid crypt]

Is scal a avalon reference

[kind tinsel]

its all an avalon ref

[fringe quiver]

yes shes a reference to the matter man enemy

[kind tinsel]

everything is

[valid crypt]

:dead2:

[fringe quiver]

we're all avalon references in the end

it all returns to it

[kind tinsel]

if you think of cal as like the ultimate avalon fanboy mod it makes more sense

[nova talon]

yeah that would be nice. ive been checking every other month waiting for some new stuff but nothing. i know its a mod and just gets some donations or something as funds but i bet more people would be willing to spare a few dimes if there was more updates

[valid crypt]

Cant believe lea is a avalon reference

[nova talon]

me included in sparing a dime

[hushed hazel]

they're not doing this for the money

[nova talon]

sure but it helps

[hushed hazel]

the update has just been scope creeped to hell and back to my knowledge

[kind tinsel]

its for the vaema

[valid crypt]

Until fabsol died the devs just werent really getting paid

[fringe quiver]

it all went to fabsol

[kind tinsel]

as a social experiment we need to make vaema a cal dev

[hushed hazel]

incattus i'm putting you in the microwave

you will be cooked at high heat for fifteen minutes

[nova talon]

that sucks

[kind tinsel]

vaema's dads rock

[fringe quiver]

you mustsupport the calamity patreon. with the communitys money fabsol will invest on avalon reference stocks and add more avalon references

the economy is BOOMING.

[kind tinsel]

i made the funniest copypasta one sec

[valid crypt]

Oh no

[hushed hazel]

please don't

[fringe quiver]

if i ever decide to touch tmod i'm gonna do it to make a addon that just removes every calamity avalon reference

it's probably relatively easy i just dont want to touch tmod

[kind tinsel]

Attention all terraria calamity mod players; Yharim is in great danger, and he needs your help to banish Statis and Braelor into the Distortion. But to do this, he will need the help of the resprited DEVOURER OF GODS, and a couple projectile spam worm boss fights. To help him, all you need to is give fabsol's patreon your credit card number, the three digits on the back, and the expiration month and year. But you gotta be quick so that Yharim can kill all of the gods and achieve the EPIC.. VICTORY.. ROYALE!!

[fringe quiver]

i dont like it

[kind tinsel]

ive only written this once it deserves more

it set my keyboard on fire

[nova talon]

we probably get gta 6 before calamity sunken sea update

[azure oak]

calamity mod

[hushed hazel]

that i doubt

[kind tinsel]

i cooked with the finest of seasoning

[hushed hazel]

silksong before sso though yeah i could see that happening

[fringe quiver]

i can see them coming at similar times tbh

[hushed hazel]

especially now that tc has the nintendo assassin ninjas on their asses if the game isn't out this year

[flat folio]

They have five months

[kind tinsel]

its moreso that nintendo helped the development in some form, i tihnk it was porting? if i recall rightly

[flat folio]

If this deadline is not met the silksong fandom will begin rioting and looting

[hushed hazel]

yea but it's funnier to say nintendo is gonna sic their hitmen squad on tc if they fail to release before '26

[kind tinsel]

it would be hilarious

[fringe quiver]

have they not done that already?

[kind tinsel]

primetime entertainment

for months

[hushed hazel]

they've been doing it since...

[flat folio]

Only on the internet...

[hushed hazel]

when was the original delay after it was promised on that one xbox showcase? 2023?

[flat folio]

Nations will experience Silksong protests

[hushed hazel]

[kind tinsel]

someone needs to limit TC's budget, its like miyazaki and the poison swamps

[fringe quiver]

team cherry when i get you team cherry .

whats the marketing guy been doing ... is he even real

or maybe he's actually like really smart

[flat folio]

The marketing team at this point is just a group of agitators in the fandom

[fringe quiver]

maybe this is all an elaborate plan to have people go insane for silksong

if it is it's working

[flat folio]

Calamity needs to employ this strategy

[kind tinsel]

the word elaborate plan triggers its all planned out in my brain

dan yami strategy

[summer shore]

It don't matter if they hate you if they all say your name

[fringe quiver]

she sells sea shells by the sea shore...

[azure oak]

calamity mod

[inland stratus]

dog update is peak but where is
yhon

[azure oak]

yharon resprite is still being worked on

[pseudo vector]

silksong marketing? what marketing?

[azure oak]

silksong marketing is just the people making jokes about it never releasing

[fringe quiver]

silksong??? what silksong

[fringe quiver]

its intentional at this point surely

they made the communitys insanity its marketing

[azure oak]

genius strategy, team cherry doesnt have to spend a dime

[arctic patrol]

calamity 3 when

[fringe quiver]

tommorow

i wonder how many people will see the dog pseudo-rework and be like. hey wheres the RESPRITE. did it get SCRAPPED.

[arctic patrol]

you mean the recent one?

[pseudo vector]

there will definitely be people who think the actual rework is canned

which it is not

[arctic patrol]

[azure oak]

yharon is still being yharonned

[pseudo vector]

even if we make it as clear as possible people will still think we're canning the actual dog rework

[arctic patrol]

its calamity community

what'd you expect

if we dont get it in the update it means its never making it

somehow

[fringe quiver]

goes for most communites at the end of the day

[azure oak]

doesnt help that the real DoG rework will probably come with the distortion

[fringe quiver]

the bigger it is the more people

[azure oak]

which is gonna take a hot second

[hushed hazel]

people won't read

[fringe quiver]

the more people by proxy the more opportunities for dumb people

[hushed hazel]

nothing you can do to fix it all you can do is be more patient

[arctic patrol]

you know

you can just flash a big red notice that explains it
