calamity-update-talk

[dusk bronze]

tis the plan

[silk terrace]

dog is unacceptable in current public form. considering how important it is to the identity of the mod, progression as a whole (as opposed to something like signus who can afford to rot for a while) and how far away the actual rework is something needed to be done in filler.

[dull heart]

I don't think we should let Signus or any boss rot for a while

but I have nothing to do to fix Signus

I guess I could try some stuff

[dusk bronze]

trap nitro in a dungeon maybe

[fiery rampart]

"trap nitro in a dungeon maybe"

[earnest comet]

@cunning sequoia 2016asama

exported WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY

you know what fuck it we ball

i didn't want to do that

[cunning sequoia]

perfect

its better without transparency

more authentic

[brave star]

Potato quality Murasama

[earnest comet]

there we go

EW

i hate how discord does that

what sucks is that despite my best attempts to destroy the shading while keeping it kinda recognizable, the sword underneath still doesn't look terrible lmao

i could make it worse but then that'd be doing it terribly on purpose and that's kinda against the whole spirit

i guess this could be considered a lesson that you can have the worst fucking ideas on which colors to use and as long as the actual fundamental spritework is good, it’ll look pretty nice

[cobalt wharf]

too many frames on the lightning it looks too good

[fathom girder]

it looks like fire

[arctic musk]

what about making it possible to fight signus early, when he appears in hell through some interaction like attacking him or something

[dusk bronze]

signus won't be in hell anymore

[arctic musk]

oh okay

[arctic musk]

where will he be?

[dusk bronze]

wherever statis is

so the surface

probably

[arctic musk]

statis is that guy who was fed to the dog?

Idk the lore

[dusk bronze]

dog didn't eat braelor and statis

he banished them to the distortion

but statis made a deal with signus to escape

braelor is still fucked tho

[arctic musk]

ok thx

[earnest comet]

braelor gonna figure out how to summon resources from nowhere so you go to the distortion and it's just a skyfactory playthrough

[dusk bronze]

true

[fathom girder]

we enter

50 sentries train on our skulls

[dull heart]

Hi

[brave star]

Hello silly miku

[dusty tinsel]

Goodbye chat Deletes channel

[brave star]

[thick coyote]

I think you forgot thats not base calamity

[dusk bronze]

they were suggesting it be added

[thick coyote]

Thats not how the phrasing reads

My b though you are probably right

[trail pilot]

Chat died for 1 hours

[dusk bronze]

tragic

[dull heart]

Guys

not guys

Good*

[brave star]

Anything about the Tyeski spoiler

[dusk bronze]

tyeski shot dead in vancouver

[brave star]

[silver stratus]

Clammity

[viral merlin]

Did thermal vents not have their own theme prior to cdmusic's drop or are they being separated now

[lean relic]

old one was placeholder

[viral merlin]

Oh

[lean relic]

its been there like years lol

it makes sense that people forget

[buoyant pulsar]

why does ravager reanimate if yharon is the dragon of rebirth

[azure oak]

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

[buoyant pulsar]

this is literally so beautiful and elegant

imagine it with a little extra animation and polish

also kinda makes sense in lore
deceivingly elegant, but secretly really manipulative and intelligent

[azure oak]

i mainly like it cause it's a DoG design without giant mandibles

[buoyant pulsar]

agree

it just makes so much more sense

[azure oak]

also it's neat that the mandibles got inverted and turned into the horns

[buoyant pulsar]

the design is coherent and really aesthetically pretty

yeah i really like that

i don't think anything will peak iban's dog

the sprite is a little rough around the edges but the design is so obviously good

[azure oak]

i'm sure that other people can make some really good DoGs as well

[buoyant pulsar]

no like that's fair and true, but this design is just so good imo

idk it's my opinion

[pseudo vector]

an unfortunate victim of 22

[wooden blade]

Wonder how he'll look like in fables though

[azure oak]

like that with some small tweaks iirc

[buoyant pulsar]

truly devastating

[wooden blade]

Sure

[buoyant pulsar]

this is what we could have had

[pseudo vector]

chances are fables won't get to DoG for a long time still

[wooden blade]

Cuz this design kicks so much ass

[pseudo vector]

perhaps their ideas will be very different by the time they get there

[buoyant pulsar]

i hope not by too much lol

isn't fables a completely seperate mod btw

like not an addon

[wooden blade]

Well yeah that's for sure, but i remember in their announcement in the server saying that dog's design will be used for fables?

Like they mentioned him specifically

[pseudo vector]

i haven't been following along with fables

[pseudo vector]

i've not really kept up with terraria stuff until the past month or so

[wooden blade]

That's understandable

[pseudo vector]

if anything i'm still trying to get up to speed with the happenings of calamity

there's a lot for me to wrap my head around lol

[torn kite]

Sunken Sea Overhaul part 1 tomorrow?

[wooden blade]

Honestly i can't blame you for that, there's so much things that happened lately in cal

It's in 3 motherfucking seconds actually

[buoyant pulsar]

bruh theres two infinite demons

[mossy sapphire]

crazy

[azure oak]

DoG should rapidly cycle between designs

dont like the the current DoG design? he'll have a different one in a quarter of a second

[buoyant pulsar]

community remix

that would be such a goated gfb change though

every time it switches attacks it also switches sprites

i miss ancient godslayer armor man

[azure oak]

GFB change hat alters the names of DoG and everything related to it

DoG is now called worm

cosmilite is now called worm bar

godslayer is now wormslayer

[buoyant pulsar]

even if this is a little boring i still think it's super cool

[azure oak]

so that's where the outline from the teaser in BR tier3 vid comes from

[pseudo vector]

yeah

[azure oak]

neat

[pseudo vector]

thank koolaid for putting that in

he had control over the visuals for that

[buoyant pulsar]

actual total accident lmao

[pseudo vector]

looking back i may or may not regret putting that whole draedon thing at the end of brt3

[buoyant pulsar]

by the way is this like the size of the player

[azure oak]

idk

[buoyant pulsar]

if this is the size of several players and the alter is on top

[pseudo vector]

chances are the altar will be bigger than the player

[buoyant pulsar]

is this the altar or am i mistaken

[spark kiln]

the altar will just get smaller

[pseudo vector]

for the sake of visual clarity in the sprite

otherwise the candles will be like 2 pixels

[azure oak]

head's probably smaller than the alter since it probably breaks out of it

[summer shore]

The altar is the coffin thing no?

[buoyant pulsar]

how did the great dev schism happen again

weren't a bunch of devs just pissed that fabsol was a bad owner and so they left together

[azure oak]

ye it says in the top right that it was his tomb

[buoyant pulsar]

the aforementioned 22

[pseudo vector]

i don't remember much of it personally

i know i left because i was just sick of all the in-fighting at the time

other than that i don't remember that much of what caused it

i'd rather not get it wrong when trying to explain it

[azure oak]

wasnt it because the devs got really frustrated with fabsol?

[pseudo vector]

it was largely down to fab, yeah

that was very much the root of it looking back

[summer shore]

From what I heard spider say the straw that broke the camel's back was iban wanting to make cnidrion a miniboss but fabsol said it's too close to being a boss so he didn't allow it or something

[pseudo vector]

there's a lot of issues over the years that can be sourced back to fabsol, not all of them but definitely a lot of them

[thorny glacier]

butterfly effect at its finest

[summer shore]

From fablecord

[pseudo vector]

as much as i'm technically part of the 22 that left back then, i left because i was tired of all the in-fighting over stupid shit, rather than the creative differences stuff that a lot of the big chunk of the art team left because of

[azure oak]

at least cnidrion gets to be a proper miniboss now

[pseudo vector]

i've seen fables and i'm really impressed with what they're doing

i hope they can see their vision through cuz what they're cooking is really cool

i'll happily do a playthrough once they have some more content out for the mod

cuz rn i'm cool with waiting until more stuff is out there to play

[buoyant pulsar]

i need the fabsol dead gif

[lean relic]

add it here

[inner thunder]

it's like I'm the only one who doesn't hate fabsol

[dusk bronze]

you really should

he's quite the terrible person

[final pine]

fabsol should never come down to cell block one

[lapis oak]

Not hating? Sure if all of this is no important at all to you

But don't like, to the point of be blind and think he didn't do quite bad things

Be acknowledge

[inner thunder]

yeah he did bad things

but he did good things too

and more not bad but not good things

[dusk bronze]

name one

genuinely curious

[inner thunder]

all calamity bosses

[pseudo vector]

[dusk bronze]

80% of them are objectively poorly designed or fleshed out

[fringe quiver]

Chief i think him making some slopfest bosses that neither the dev team or the community seems to have liked too much dosen't justify the horrible management, vetoing of the dev team's ideas, actively stunting the creativty and passion of his previous dev team to the poiint most of them left, incredibly immaturity in the community's discord, overtly petty behavior, inaction when faced with minors in a nsfw server,

[raw falcon]

Dude hive mind is just boc but corruption, slime god is just king slime but there's 4 of them now, cal clone is literally just retinaizer with extra steps, Master death mode exists.

[dense prawn]

that may be true, but i think many of the bad things outweigh the good

[inner thunder]

understandable

[raw falcon]

Fab is NOT good at designing bosses

[fringe quiver]

Calamity would have been in a far better place by now if it wasn't for fabsol

[inner thunder]

i like a lot of his ideas tbh

[dusk bronze]

wh

[inner thunder]

but I'm 1 in everyone else who played calamity

[dusk bronze]

why

[inner thunder]

idk man I just do

[fringe quiver]

Ah yes the ideas that he

Added to the game without checking up on any of the other developers and just added because he felt like it

[dusk bronze]

POINT BLANK RAHHHHHHHH

[fringe quiver]

One whole new post moon lord boss after the dev team had agreed that the mod had enough bosses coming up!

[raw falcon]

Some of Fabs ideas were conceptually kinda cool, they're just executed really, really poorly

[fringe quiver]

Fair statement i think

[azure oak]

exo mechs......

[raw falcon]

Not to mention the rampant transphobia/having minors in an nsfw server

So yeah, tl;dr, fabsol is kinda shit, has been for a long time

[fringe quiver]

Even if they were good ideas or you like them or whatever, it dosen't excuse just randomly adding them without discussing it with any of the people literally Working For Free On Your Project and then Shutting Them Down when they Voice Concerns or Complaints

[raw falcon]

22 did not need to happen, that was almost entirely on fabsol

[fringe quiver]

And the worst part is that this was the exact reason 22 happened! And he

continued doing it still

Like nothing changed.

[raw falcon]

that should tell you enough about what kind of person he is

[dusk bronze]

it's complicated byeah

[raw falcon]

Shit, part of the reason the bosses looked so outdated was because fab couldn't figure out how to do vfx and refused to let anyone else do it

All the visual polish scal got for example? That's all on xyk, fab didn't do jackshit for that

[dusk bronze]

wait seriously

lmfao

[raw falcon]

yeah

[summer shore]

He also doesn't want bosses to be "shaderslop"

[worthy halo]

So is the SSO update trailer gonna be in the direct brome is making?

[dusk bronze]

???

what direct

who's brome

[thorny glacier]

what

[worthy halo]

https://youtu.be/-VpW8RdxrS0?si=lzEuNWLM_r3jc4LX

[azure oak]

probably wont be

[dusk bronze]

ain't clicking that

[worthy halo]

Big youtuber

[dusk bronze]

anyway no trailer soon

[worthy halo]

No I'm serious its a big event with lots of trailers coming

[thorny glacier]

expect da trailer coming from official cal channel on youtube

which aint coming anytime soon

[raw falcon]

Wich is pretty much synonymous with "I can't figure it out and don't want to admit it"

[mossy sapphire]

one thing I dislike about calamity

[worthy halo]

I believe its gonna be big and i hope calamity also joins the hype

[mossy sapphire]

why is everything so fucking hyperrealistic

[azure oak]

honestly i expect the majority of big mods to either not have anything in there or to just not have anything to show

[thorny glacier]

the only thing i can credit fabsol to is beginning cal in da first place and letting dok cook up som bangers for it but that’s it.

[raw falcon]

wym?

[mossy sapphire]

trying to turn dog into a 8k HD image

[azure oak]

it's pixel consistent

[raw falcon]

its because the fucker is BIG.

[mossy sapphire]

some stuff feels incredibly strange compared to the more pixelly vanilla game

[raw falcon]

Hes gonna be the size of providence

[lean relic]

thats because hes big ass 😭

[azure oak]

DoG straight up is meant to be this big in-game

[mossy sapphire]

it feels wrong bc it looks too realistic

[dusk bronze]

cope

[mossy sapphire]

i mean the design is hype

rude

[raw falcon]

I get what you mean, but its really not that big a problem

new moon lord looks similar

[thorny glacier]

can you pet this gorgeous creatura?🤩

[mossy sapphire]

mmm perchance

[raw falcon]

Its just the sprite size

[mossy sapphire]

might just be me tbh but

also

[mossy sapphire]

biatch

nyehehehekwhfsadilewsiglfajsd

[pseudo vector]

the fight will functionally be different once we get around to working on the update that’ll involve the full DoG rework

[lean relic]

can i post that moonlord again

[raw falcon]

Sure? I'm not your boss

[mossy sapphire]

how are you supposed to have this big ass mf act the same as the current dog lol fr

[pseudo vector]

i don’t think the current length of DoG would work with the size of the sprite lmao

[pseudo vector]

it’d be like that one gif of the 2000 segment worm

[thorny glacier]

:fear:

[mossy sapphire]

wait wtf is that

[raw falcon]

I want dog to send me to the shadow realm

[azure oak]

moon lord resprite

[mossy sapphire]

that is NOT the ingame moon lord

[raw falcon]

moon lord resprite

[lean relic]

1.4.5 moonlord

[pseudo vector]

but yeah dog will get a complete rework when we get around to it

[mossy sapphire]

oh hell nah

[raw falcon]

new one for 1.4.5

[pseudo vector]

the rework we’re working on rn is gonna be the last iteration of current DoG to make the fight not shit for the time being

[raw falcon]

Honestly the crack visual posted in spoilers would work really well for his teleport

[hushed hazel]

Leaving

[pseudo vector]

true!

[lean relic]

yharon resprite commission

[fringe quiver]

truth nuke

[pseudo vector]

actually spending his patreon money on the mod

[raw falcon]

How often did he do that anyways?

[wide orbit]

By my estimation, less often than he should have

[pseudo vector]

i don't know how much he actually ended up spending at all

i was absent for most of the old cal patreon's existence anyways

[lapis oak]

When giant sprite looks more detailed from far away:

Oh fuck I commented on DoG sprite discussion

[azure oak]

when the the when

[lapis oak]

Broke the streak 😢

[wide orbit]

when when

[thorny glacier]

fatass worm

[polar fog]

dumbass worm

fuck you shithead

[analog helm]

does dog view slime god as a dessert
like blueberry and cherry jello

[fathom girder]

My theory is still demon train

Like I'm confident

they're gonna turn DoG into spirit tracks demon train

[inner thunder]

give desert medallion 1% chance to spawn dog instead

[prisma cipher]

Peak

[hushed hazel]

you're not

[desert path]

give cosmic worm a 1% chance to spawn scooge instead

[inner thunder]

real

why is dog spawner called just cosmic worm

and not cosmic worm bait

or something

[summer shore]

Same reason suspicious looking eye is not suspicious looking eye bait

[hasty tangle]

yet he allowed shroomed mode to exist in the mod, which is far more visually unappealing than most shaders

[summer shore]

)lyep

[spark kiln]

what

[boreal edge]

Well tbf on that facet, Odd Mushroom is entirely optional and gives a warning that it’s visually unappealing

[spark kiln]

it’s not supposed to look nice

[hasty tangle]

well yeah

[spark kiln]

u could’ve said anything else

like all the worms just shoot basic lasers

[lean relic]

Dog shoots lasers

[spark kiln]

i basically just said that

[lapis oak]

When the mushroom I bought is suspicious

[wooden blade]

yarim

[dull heart]

yeah I think odd mushroom is a very different thing than general shaderslop

[hasty tangle]

even if its technically not a shader, it still makes the game pretty damn ugly

[inner thunder]

oh

wrong chnanel

[dull heart]

yeah but the main concern isn't about the game being ugly

fabsol didn't like how much some bosses made it hard to tell what was happening because of the intensity of the visuals

[hasty tangle]

yeah

[dull heart]

it being an optional item that is specifically designed to make it hard to tell what happens is kinda a completely different thing than the default state of the boss

[hasty tangle]

its more of a "why is this in the game at all when you have said how much you hate visual clutter"

its literally the visual clutter mode

[lapis oak]

Something something The Story of Red Cloud mod

[thick coyote]

Because its a joke item that does that on purpose

I dont really get whats confusing about this

[arctic musk]

why was fabsols vodka renamed

[thorny glacier]

take a guess

[hasty tangle]

to remove all references to fabsol

[arctic musk]

idk that's why I ask

[arctic musk]

why

what happened

[hasty tangle]

the incident

#mod-announcements

(scroll up a bit)

[arctic musk]

which incident

can you just explain

[grave geyser]

It wasn’t even removed it was just renamed to purple haze

[hasty tangle]

#mod-announcements message

[arctic musk]

so he just left

why rename?

[hasty tangle]

he invited minors to a nsfw discord server

[lapis oak]

We just said

To remove all references to Fabsol

[arctic musk]

why didn't you tell straight away

it's not in the announcements or i didn't find it

[pseudo vector]

you can read the posts in announcements

[arctic musk]

I'm on 1% battery

[pseudo vector]

charge whatever device you're using i guess

[spark kiln]

i feel like here’s nuances you aren’t grasping

[lean relic]

gasp

[gritty torrent]

i mean there has to be a downside to 50% damage boost right

[twin juniper]

was the devil devastation rework vid real

[spark kiln]

yes

[lapis oak]

Ye

[twin juniper]

Does this mean
No more sword dash from old lord claymore

Cuz I didn’t saw any dash there

[lapis oak]

Guess so

[twin juniper]

What if tainted blade line got the dashing gimmick instead I think they could use those

[fathom girder]

Sword dash is kinda busted as fuck so i'm not surprised it's gone

[upper hatch]

What is that "Two Worlds Collide" meant to mean?

[analog helm]

da distortion and da terraria

dawg comes to munch on you from the distortion

[upper hatch]

So, is that a spoiler for the next update, or just a dev wanting to drop it there just because they finished it and are proud of how amazing it looks?

[pulsar cobalt]

next update

its dogs new background for its mini rework

[hoary edge]

ohh dog fight with that new background would be fire

[lean relic]

tsuki is it true that he comes out from that hole at start of fight

[pseudo vector]

it's gonna be its new background

[wintry prairie]

which

oh i see

[hoary edge]

on #spoilers

[hoary edge]

hype 😄

[pulsar cobalt]

as a totally real developer of the calamity mod, i can confirm this is true

(not)

[dull heart]

It's only Thursday

[brave star]

Belated arrival moment be like

[hot pebble]

667 - Removed all base Master Mode boss changes.
668 - Removed all Classic and Expert AI changes to vanilla bosses.

I have a slight suspicion that this could be the reason why Slime God might not get a rework.

but im not sure

[azure oak]

actually slime god's rework is a bit up-in-the-air because devs can do more interesting stuff than just modified mimic ai

[hot pebble]

Most likely, but it's a shame to lose such good resprites

[azure oak]

i'm sure that if plans deviate heavily, that it'd still get good sprites

[viral merlin]

Devs can do more interesting stuff than just using modified normal enemy ai in general

But it all takes time

[lucid torrent]

all I wait for is undead gauntlet and ravager rework

[viral merlin]

And now that fab walked the plank, they have the freedom to
Make boss Ai more interesting

[lucid torrent]

I need a use for my smite 5 sword

[azure oak]

that's exactly what i said.

[thorny parrot]

I wonder why they removed the brain of Cthulhu extra clones, They seemed fine when I was playing

[lapis oak]

Because you don't have photosensitivity problems

People have reported about it being a hazard

[hot pebble]

Personally, they make me panic, I don't understand where the original is and I always get damaged

Only this helps me a little.

[viral merlin]

Brain of Cthulhu

[analog helm]

elongated eoc

[arctic patrol]

Eye on stick

[hard copper]

marshmallow of cthulhu

[arctic patrol]

God

That sounds delightful

[naive ice]

Does anyone have any voice headcanons they have for calamity characters that they wouldn’t mind sharing? I’m just curious. Personally, I imagine DoG as sounding like Perfect Cell, BUT BUT BUT! Specifically Perfect Cell from Dragon Ball Z Abridged.

[final pine]

calamitas voiced by tara platt

[naive ice]

Who?

Hold up lemme look her up

Oh neat

For some reason I swear Amidias would be voiced by Morgan Freeman

And Xeroc is voiced by Max0r, the king of shitposts

[pearl sentinel]

ew.

[naive ice]

Fuck you

[fathom girder]

nah he's got a point

don't let max0r voice anything

[dull heart]

well now I've got one season of a third down

[naive ice]

Haters

[wooden blade]

i don't think they hate maxor (i like him too)

it would just be terrible if litterally GOD was voiced by some shitposter

[fathom girder]

I do not like his voice

and I do not like maxor

[valid crypt]

xeroc is pretty chill and is on someones dream blunt rotation

[naive ice]

But also funny as shit.

[fathom girder]

no

Calamity isn't a shitpost mod

let's not make it one

[wooden blade]

cool 👍

[wooden blade]

no it wouldn't

[lapis oak]

when serious topic being countered with "it would be funny" point

[valid crypt]

despite being the god of the sun and the guardian of the planet (most likely) the guy is quite chill from the bit of dialogue we got of the guy

[wooden blade]

it worked on some deltarune debates but not here lol

[valid crypt]

tho yeah maxor dont fit

[naive ice]

Fair enough. What about making Xeroc voiced by moistcritical

[wooden blade]

make xeroc voiced by an actually competent voice actor would be better idk

[naive ice]

What do we think about Morgan Freeman being Amidias?

[valid crypt]

i dunno morgan freemans voice i forgor it

[wooden blade]

it's very deep iirc

and imo it would fit yharim kinda

[naive ice]

Tru.

[fathom girder]

Yharim should be voiced by gianni

[wooden blade]

listen

[naive ice]

No, Gianni is Draedon.

Canonically.

[wooden blade]

i love gianni a lot

but he should not voice yharim AT ALL

[fathom girder]

OH wait wait I forgot gianni already

okay nvm me

[naive ice]

Yeah dude

[wooden blade]

yeah there's draedon too already tho

have michael kovach voice noxus

[valid crypt]

noxus would be uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
the horrors

[wooden blade]

have james Faulkner

voice noxus

cuz he litterally voices a character who rules over noxus (runeterra lore reference i am not fucking stinky)

[valid crypt]

have 50 different people voice act noxus at once

[naive ice]

Who voices Mihawk in the one piece live action? I think he’d be good for Xeroc

Or maybe he wouldn’t, my judgment is spotty at best

Hear me out, DoG voiced by Takahata101 doing a variant of his Perfect Cell/Alucard voice.

[arctic cliff]

Noxus is voiced by limit 3rd movement reaching

[mossy berry]

#spoilers
Typing this so I can link myself to this channel and add it to my list

[naive ice]

What list.

[mossy berry]

Oh imm stupid I already did

The server list

So I can just access the channel whenever

[naive ice]

Also who do you think would voice different calamity characters

[mossy berry]

Uhh hm

I mean we already got a VA for draedon

[naive ice]

Yeah

[mossy berry]

Yharim feels like someone who has a rather deep voice, particularly like Duma from Fire Emblem

[naive ice]

I was thinking Morgan Freeman for Amidias

[mossy berry]

deeper than I expect amidias to be but I think it fits tbh

[naive ice]

Who would permafrost be? I’m not sure about him

I think Xeroc would sound like MoistCr1TiKaL

[fathom girder]

mmm

[pseudo vector]

that's a hard no from me

[fathom girder]

Charlie is too biased and sassy to be xeroc

[naive ice]

Just monotone

[fathom girder]

too much of a "gotcha" argument typa guy

[naive ice]

Okay mister music man!

[fathom girder]

also he has guns

xeroc only has guns in FTW

[naive ice]

As you command almighty composer

[fathom girder]

what if

a third ping

[brave star]

Four pings of the apocalypse

[pseudo vector]

in general though i have occasionally wondered how certain calamity characters would sound

[naive ice]

Sorry. And who wouldn’t tbh?

[fathom girder]

haven't really thought about it yet tbh

[naive ice]

Fair

For whatever reason I think DoG would sound like Perfect Cell from DBZA.

[fathom girder]

mmmmmmmmmm

DoG is way more fanatical and less uh

racist

tbh

[naive ice]

What about Abridged Alexander Anderson?

[fathom girder]

who

[valid crypt]

Hellsing abridged i think

[buoyant pulsar]

i just think the intense shading on the edges looks out of place (in an aesthetic way, not a cool distortion not-of-this-world way)

[fathom girder]

This is definitely a sprite that looks better in action

[valid crypt]

Do note the dark clouded background we have see will be used for this and thus wont look as strange

[mystic eagle]

I personally intepret DoG's voice as a Metal Face's voice but deeper

[naive ice]

Yeah

[naive ice]

Who’s metal face

[buoyant pulsar]

ranger is fun if you ignore 95% of the bows

[valid crypt]

Ranger is fun if you ignore the bows

[dry whale]

bows try to not be boring challenge

[main estuary]

i know jared wouldn't speak but he would definitely say the iconic line from inward singing but much deeper and slightly distorted

[naive ice]

Im gonna post the 50% go attacks for phase 3 of my crackhead superboss in general instead of here this time, cause I’ve learned my lesson.

[mystic eagle]

Xenoblade 1 character

[naive ice]

Ah

[thick coyote]

I don't have many headcanons for this but i like to imagine A GOD DOES NOT FEAR DEATH is loud enough thatd itd cause damage to the npc houses made of wood and similarly sturdy things

[nocturne arrow]

is melee considered ranger(beside true melee)? i notice its just all projectile melee ;3

[dull heart]

no

Stuff that deals ranged damage is considered ranger

[naive ice]

No

[fathom girder]

is mage considered melee? I notice it's just all projectiles

[dusk bronze]

guys

vcmm pumpkin moon theme just dropped

[fathom girder]

Sso

Just a week away

Can you believe it guys

[fathom girder]

Oh wait really

How banger is it

[naive ice]

WHAT

[dusk bronze]

idk

[fathom girder]

You can't just tease us like this c'mon

[naive ice]

Where

[dusk bronze]

tyrant's youtube

[naive ice]

Who

[dusk bronze]

a vcmm composer

[naive ice]

What’s their channel name

[dusk bronze]

"tyrant"

[arctic cliff]

here

[naive ice]

Oh that’s awesome

[fathom girder]

Huge fan of the backgrounds and font used for song titles for calamity mod themes

[arctic cliff]

this song rocks

[naive ice]

Very spoopy

[nocturne arrow]

havent played in a while but whats the next upgrade to fledge wings?

also was this new? i dont recall calamity adding recipe for it lol

[pine vortex]

Skyline wings are the next step up

[naive ice]

Skyline next. And ya, fledge has recipe now

[rose laurel]

THAT'S THE RECIPE???????????????????????????

[pine vortex]

Yeah lol

[lyric trellis]

They’re so great

[rose laurel]

Ok no I'm immediately asking for that to be changed

This is unnaceptable

[lyric trellis]

Going through the vanilla changes/recipes makes you question everything

[rose laurel]

You know what, actually? I think I'm gonna like, go over these recipes

And at least make them not Like That for the time being

[pine vortex]

Noooo don't kill my ability to get wings pre boss

[lyric trellis]

Iconic recipe

At least a lot of dumb ones are dying next update anyway

[dry whale]

so free....too much..freedom

[ocean jetty]

So much...freedom...

[rose laurel]

I'm doing this

[spice anchor]

Make it 7

[dry whale]

I did pumpkin moon and pumpking dropped some kind of...shadow crystal

[ocean jetty]

True

[grave geyser]

It used to be 10

[mossy sapphire]

shadow diamond

[drowsy reef]

To be fair fledgling wings suck

Hmmm I gotta check out the list

Magic quiver is very reasonable

Heart crystal is????

Bezoar does not need a recipe it’s very easy to get

Celestial magnet recipe sounds silly on the face of it but Treasure Magnet is something most players will get after the Celestial Magnet and you only need one while there are many celestial magnet recipes so it’s more reasonable than it looks

Feral claws not having jungle related ingredients is silly

[dry whale]

not really

it's pretty good for wof

[drowsy reef]

Gating the megaphone recipe to hardmode is a bit silly now that shimmer exists so you can get it pre-HM anyway

Fair

Lmao at the shoe spikes recipe

Oh yeah you can make a step stool out of 10 wood lmao

[neat dock]

20 wood or something step stool

duck

fuck???

i am a merciful god, you must'nt punish me

i

thought I was in cmt

[naive ice]

Make it 5

[lapis oak]

no it doesn't

[drowsy reef]

Ok

[hard copper]

nuh uh, you are god of pride, not mercy

[neat dock]

??

i an a merciful god

[pine ocean]

Make it 8

[hard copper]

frog leg has 7 letters, it should be 7 frogs

[mossy sapphire]

it has a space

should that count as 8

you press 8 keys to type it

[pine ocean]

The recipe for frog legs increases by one every single time you access them with a keybind

[neat dock]

1 frog would net at least 2 frog legd

[drowsy reef]

Honestly I don’t get why Calamity doesn’t just remove base Excalibur from existence

Upgrade is directly on tier

Or just require ashes of calamity to craft idk

[hard copper]

Excalibur could also be a side grade, more damage but elss range

[dull heart]

This is such a very evil recipe

y'know what would be funny

shimmering the cooked frog leg food

into frog leg

[stiff light]

but gay people are evil

[soft plover]

im gay people

[desert oracle]

6 7

[white aurora]

hi gay people im

[terse dew]

demon

[brave star]

Then u evil for claiming so /j

[stiff light]

i am gay evil

[buoyant pulsar]

how is the handussy in the game bruh 😭

[polar fog]

i think you should be put into a fucking tomb for that one

[stiff light]

a ditch*

[brave star]

[lapis oak]

Mod kill this crow

[stiff light]

meow

[main estuary]

a pit of spikes*

[dry whale]

I am a gay benevolent person

[stiff light]

i am a gay malevolent person

[stuck kite]

this is accusatory

[dry whale]

I shall fight you now

[dusk bronze]

evil and intimidating cultist

[dry whale]

I feel intimidated

[polar fog]

i didnt wanna go that far but ig you did it for me lol

[dusty tinsel]

Mods smite this user

[dusk bronze]

you're mods

[fiery rampart]

Jjba geometry dash theory

Can this be added to the lore of calamity

[brave star]

Awesome gay bros:
Evil and intimidating cultist

[dusk bronze]

omega snail

[brave star]

Photoshop Snail

[dusty tinsel]

True, but also it was a joke

[dusk bronze]

-# i know

[molten grove]

just because calamity is canon to geometry dash, doesnt mean all the things in geometry dash are canon to calamity 🙄

[silk terrace]

Imagine the possibilities

[buoyant pulsar]

is this the intro to hollow knight

[subtle pagoda]

me when joke

[buoyant pulsar]

yuh was also joking...........................................................

[buoyant pulsar]

invoked stargod :D

[pseudo vector]

yeah that fucker lmao

[azure oak]

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

[inner thunder]

why is piranha gun a gun but barracuda gun is a specialist ranged weapon

[pulsar cobalt]

because its not a gun, its specialist

[valid crypt]

Then why is piranha not specialist

[pulsar cobalt]

it is

thats wat i said

it isnt a gun

[inner thunder]

no

piranha gun is a gun

when i use shroomite gun armor its damage increases

but for barracuda i have to use the specialist shroomite head peice

[pulsar cobalt]

prianha gun uses shroomite helmet

[inner thunder]

if thats the gun one

then yes

wait

[pulsar cobalt]

no its the specialist one

[inner thunder]

wtf

its also specialist

ok then

[arctic musk]

there are enough references

already

[nova gorge]

Tbf it's only on tier if you're playing with the early hardmode rework

[mossy sapphire]

why wouldn't you play with it though

[wide orbit]

Frankly I dislike early hardmode rework

I never use it

[mossy sapphire]

thats the entire thing calamity is balanced around

why wouldn't you use it

it makes cobalt/palladium and orichalcum/mythril actually useful

instead of brief stepping stones to adamantite and titanium

[hushed hazel]

cause some people don't like it

that's the whole reason there's a config for it in the first place

it's one of cal's biggest vanilla changes by far

[pulsar cobalt]

the config is for mod compatibility

if it was for people who didnt like it, thered be a config for vanilla item changes n stuff

[nova gorge]

Same, I never use it either

[fathom girder]

Hardmode rework when I skip the shitty armors anyway

[azure oak]

perosnally i like it

[lean relic]

Mythril armor is peak

massively increasing dps

[summer shore]

Whar

[final pine]

scam

[pseudo vector]

i'm not clicking those lmao

[vivid hemlock]

is this mr beast

[summer shore]

ip grabber

[fathom girder]

Mist or beast

[azure oak]

calamity mod

[final pine]

fort night

[azure oak]

exo mechs rework in the future

[tall viper]

vanilla item balance changes are a far cry from changing how one of the biggest parts of progression functions to be fair

[naive ice]

It’s a better way imo

[pulsar cobalt]

_ _

[naive ice]

Still better.

[fathom girder]

I saw a funny set of messages the other day

That like cascaded

Mist or something
Mist or morning...
Mist or beast!!!!!

Was silly in the moment

[final pine]

they should teach me the wizardry of 3 part messages

[dull heart]

So I started a playthrough this week

I'm actually looking forward to getting squirrel hook

this is the first time anyone has ever said that, thank you Wacro Pack changes

[desert path]

gonna be spiderman

[lean relic]

gonna be goku

[hard hearth]

gonna b

[lofty leaf]

halloween is just around the corner

[sturdy halo]

Hi everyone, have there been any interesting spoilers lately?

[distant raft]

dog rework coming sso1 is probably the most interesting bit of recent info

[hard hearth]

dog killed 200 more people while throwing a tantrum

[sturdy halo]

sso1?

[distant raft]

sunken sea overhaul 1

its split in two parts

note: this is not the full overhaul of the fight, that's coming in distortion update

[sturdy halo]

interesting

I'm already anticipating bugs in multiplayer. Calamitas Arena still hasn't been fixed

I wonder how well the dog will be implemented in multiplayer

[hard hearth]

wym calamitas arena not being fixed

[vivid hemlock]

multiplayer has always been bugged its like a fact of life

[sturdy halo]

It's sad. But why?

[hard hearth]

i asked what you meant by that

like, does it not spawn, does it break something, does it not despawn

last i remember playing multiplayer everything worked fine

[sturdy halo]

Okay, I didn't understand the question right away. Arena always breaks in multiplayer. Like ALWAYS. You have to fly around the world with your friends in a death rodeo and try to stay in its zone.

This happens 100% of the time.

Aquatic Scourge segments disappear and only heads fly, like Astrum Deus. So I'm worried about the serviceability of the new dog

in 20% of cases

[hard hearth]

theres a good probability thats ping dependant on how good the host's net is, cause i rmr hearing ppl talk about that especially the worms, but ive not experienced that since like 2019

[sturdy halo]

I don't know, my internet is fine, as are my friends. And we live in the same area of ​​the city. But it's strange...

[sturdy halo]

If that's the case, then I won't go into details.

[sturdy halo]

But I remember that there was a fix for worms in multiplayer. Perhaps among such errors there are still those that can be fixed.

[pulsar cobalt]

gee i wonder who made those

[dull heart]

so true

also finally figured out why wacro is making smart cursor turn off and fixed it

[naive ice]

Neat

What the fuck are the bangles. And what do you mean “Queen Slime no longer farts.”

[mystic eagle]

She sometimes makes fart noises when firing projectiles

[naive ice]

….is THAT what those noises were

[mystic eagle]

Yes...

[naive ice]

I thought it was someone punching jello

[lapis oak]

it's the death sound

[spark kiln]

just make ur own arena

[sturdy halo]

This usually happens in rematches, but I was still curious as to why it breaks.

[fathom girder]

Multi-player jank

[lapis oak]

? this is not spoilerous

[fringe quiver]

people be postin anything here

[azure oak]

not much official stuff to post here anyways

[fringe quiver]

this is my spoiler guys

coming to calamity

[lean relic]

i need spoilers uhguhfhudhf

[stuck kite]

in like

[stuck kite]

3 business days

[lyric trellis]

Everything is getting nerfed cause every boss killtime is getting increased to 10 minutes

[valid crypt]

For a sec i thought they were bald

[azure oak]

how spoilerous will it be

[hard hearth]

a new class is being revealed

[lean relic]

very spoilerous

[fringe quiver]

6th class the pokemon trainer

you get to train pokemons

[hard hearth]

alchemist class

:D

[molten grove]

thats just true summoner

[fringe quiver]

thorium summoner

[hard hearth]

1.3 summoner

[fringe quiver]

with those like minions that you can command around to do unique skills and stuff

those guys

[lyric trellis]

Flasks class

[fringe quiver]

thrower

amen

thrower is coming back and it will be separate from rogue it will have the new unique gimmick of throwing things but like throwing them really hard

[azure oak]

thrower's unique gimmick is that you can throw any item, they dont have extra effects but do more damage if they're heavier

[fringe quiver]

truth nuke

[molten grove]

“rouge” is overrated, need verte class

[azure oak]

optimal throwing weapon against calamitas is draedon's forge

[hard hearth]

optimal throwing weapon is pokeball

and its upgrade path

[fathom girder]

Brb making a black hole item specifically for the thrower class

[azure oak]

it deletes your world but the boss is dead i guess

[iron dew]

what a calamity!

[fathom girder]

Scal inadvertently destroys another city that's a win in my book

How much trauma can we stack on one person

[hard hearth]

22

[fringe quiver]

22

[rare flame]

can someone give me the best video to explain the entire lore of calamity or a pdf or something?

i wanna know EVERYTHING.

[azure oak]

there's a pin in #lore-discussion that gives an overview of everything in game (specifically the first one)

[fathom girder]

Okay so basically yharim and then calamitas and then there's THIS fucken loser called draedon

[native thistle]

22

[azure oak]

calamity mod

[dull heart]

her death noise

[dire fjord]

Is there any talk of calamitas getting a respite?

[dull heart]

please

yes

[dry whale]

there will be no resprite for cal

[dull heart]

420 minute boss rush

[dire fjord]

👍

[dull heart]

every boss has 10 minute rdr

honestly

we need a mod that adds damage caps based on song length

[dire fjord]

Wait holy hell that's a great idea

[dry whale]

12 minutes Scal

[dull heart]

can't kill boss faster than the song

yup

[dry whale]

Scal 12 minutes and everything else 3 at most

[dull heart]

it should have a config to also automatically kill the boss itself

[dull heart]

DoG

[dry whale]

oh shit right

[dull heart]

and yaron

yharon

[dry whale]

but DoG is lame it doesnt count

[dire fjord]

Nah it just despawns because without the music the boss loses interest

[dull heart]

boss fight that's not even a fight

just permanent desp phase that matches the song

[lyric trellis]

So exciting

[dire fjord]

They only show up to fights because for some ungodly reason, music starts playing and it's a banger

[dull heart]

dog hunts the nearest rave

fratboy dog

[dire fjord]

Picking up my pencil rn please

[dull heart]

honestly

fratboy dog would be what i'd say dog should be like if he wasn't what he is now

[lapis oak]

who?

[dire fjord]

Dog like the domesticated animal 👍

Make it so we can shimmer dog to have a backwards hat on and start frat flicking

[fathom girder]

Devourer of DoGs

Future boss DoG variant

The fight becomes an ouroboros of DoGs consuming DoGs

[fathom girder]

Peak

[azure oak]

real official

calamity ost played live, by the devourer of gods who is very real

[naive ice]

Ah

[dull heart]

Beautiful

[naive ice]

Nice

[naive ice]

He changed his name to DoB. Devourer of Beer

[pseudo vector]

oh my god

[torn kite]

Sunken Sea Overhaul part 1 tomorrow?

Almost forgot to say the line

[dull heart]

hi i don't think anyone forwarded this

[lapis oak]

rouge class

[dusty tinsel]

Best class

[lyric trellis]

Time to redo the armor tierlist

[dense sundial]

i assume shinobi stops being melee then

[dull heart]

Shinobi stocks dropping

no more 20% melee speed

no more whip armor

[brazen siren]

is lightning aura negative or positive

[hasty hawk]

positive, makes em tick faster and thus deal more dmg

[lean relic]

🎃

[dense sundial]

it also grants them 25% crit!

but it's a unique way to code a crit that doesn't stack entirely with other crit bonuses

[dull heart]

Lightning Aura is the sentry

[dull heart]

for now

it'll stack additively with whip tag crit in 2.1

[analog helm]

your.... too too.......

[wide orbit]

Is gem tech getting a rework in the near future

[azure oak]

not known but personally i doubt it

[valid crypt]

Its dedicated gear no? Needs permission from person its dedicated to

[wide orbit]

Is it supposed to be a viable replacement for auric?

It’s post auric and yet it’s not very good

[azure oak]

exo is still getting a proper armor set eventually

[hazy pine]

I'm free from my shackles of employment

[hazy pine]

Dev item so unless lilac wants it then no

[wide orbit]

Shame it’s a cool looking armor set with a unique ability

[torn cairn]

Well if lilac doesnt want it reworked its probably that it doesnt need a rework since lilac is a dev right ?

[azure oak]

exo armor's also gonna be cool

[raw falcon]

Gemtech gets better the less you get hit, its basically the definition of git gud lol

[lapis oak]

if it's not very good statement is true then it goes to #1178515062030348308

not rework

why every underwhelming things people will assume that they need rework instead of balance?

[distant raft]

???????????

its incredibly strong

as someone who uses gem tech often

this shit is insane if you can actually work with it

yeah it sucks ass if you cosplay as an archery target

but that's not what you're doing

it gives a shitton of minion slots and removes the summon penalty

that alone is obscenely powerful

[raw falcon]

wait fr=

damn thats good

[lapis oak]

Calamity players can't read they don't even know what Gem Tech does

[torn cairn]

What about osc would it need a rework or a balance ?

[fathom girder]

when I'm in a reading contest and my opponent is the guy who actually reads modded terraria armor set bonuses

[mystic eagle]

OSC is a special case

[lapis oak]

most people who play Calamity don't know what Gem Tech does

[mystic eagle]

It's balance is IDK

[lapis oak]

true fact

[fathom girder]

isn't it all class

[distant raft]

yeah

[fathom girder]

that's about all I know about it

[distant raft]

obscene boosts to every class

[fathom girder]

use every single weapon type and your gems do cool things

[mystic eagle]

I wouldn't blame you for not knowing what it specifically does as it does so much

In short though, it's an armor for all classes that thrives off of nohitting

[raw falcon]

last time ive used or looked at it was a year ago ;_;

[hazy pine]

What's the dps diff between multi class w/gem tech vs solo class with demon shade or auric

[torn cairn]

Demonshade is for now post game so its not really comparable

[distant raft]

demonshade hard clears by nature of having a 10k damage minion

[raw falcon]

pretty sure gemtech out dps‘s auric

[torn cairn]

But auric and gem tech gem tech is probably the highest in dps

[raw falcon]

provided you dont get hit

[distant raft]

demonshade also has the 2.25x damage button

[pulsar cobalt]

gem tech is stupid fucking powerful if u dont get hit

[lapis oak]

ye don't play like Tuki and you suddenly become god

[pulsar cobalt]

like you get full damage stealth alongside steady damage, not even including burst mage options and full summon strength

[torn cairn]

Whats steady damage ?

[pulsar cobalt]

constant, unchanging

since u can use melee or ranger and still have stealth and mana regenerate

[vivid hemlock]

lilac is not a dev

not anymore

[lapis oak]

I'm going to do Exoblade Gem Tech all hit Scal

[torn cairn]

Oh

[lapis oak]

permanent broken yellow gem

[distant raft]

also pink gem

pink gem being broken is really bad

because that is your bulk

[lapis oak]

best setup

[hot pebble]

guys

Does anyone even use this shield?

Like

You can get Asgard earlier

[distant raft]

used it for preboss inf old duke

not preboss

prehm

[torn cairn]

I think it's used by melee players that uses solar flare armor against dog they can choose to use this shield so they can have its benefits and still use the solar flare ram

[distant raft]

its

alright

[pulsar cobalt]

15% adr go brr

[torn cairn]

And idk if its used anywhere else

[hot pebble]

I tried to craft this shield, made a couple of dashes and it seemed to me that this accessory is so-so

12 immunity frames? As a replacement for Asgard's slightly longer dash, which at this point can also be used with Leviathan Ambergris?

i dunno guys

[thick coyote]

This is its niche

Pairs well with dashes that arent from an accessory

[torn cairn]

Yeah but isnt that basically only the case the solar flare ram ??

And if it's niche is to pair well with other dashes that aren't an accessory why even bother to give it a dash ?

[dense sundial]

WHY

[dull heart]

because that was easier to program

and easier to calculate for players

[dense sundial]

glumbs

[dull heart]

and it's just a straight buff

which is needed

[dense sundial]

i suppose lightning aura isn't exactly good anyway

[dull heart]

yeah

[dense sundial]

speaking of tag though, are yall planning to change what calamity does to tag damage

[dull heart]

the difference between 15% crit and 10% crit applying separate

and 25% crit

Is very small

23.5% vs 25%

[dull heart]

yes

[dense sundial]

in what way, if you can say (or know yet)

[dull heart]

no more turning everything into multiplicative tag damage

that much is sure

[pulsar cobalt]

flat tag and multiplicative tag will both exist iirc

[dull heart]

the current state is flat damage and crit chance

However that may change in the future
