specifically whitelisted, huh
Usually that's for non-active weapon summon tag effects
is that for unique effects like firecracker/cool whip/dark harvest that aren't a problem compared to melee speed
basically, armor or accessories
fearmonger armor set bonus will incorporate a stackable tag
so will Forbidden Circlet
But if whip only has flat tag damage wont that be kinda underwhelming in post moonlord and stuff ?
whip on hit buffs are not a part of summon tag btw
Since your damage is so high
that's entirely separate but similar
calamity doesn't add any whips yet so it's not really their problem yet
Summoner players when their hotbar suddenly has 4 spots freed up 
where's calamity mod announcements channel
what if the whip does +200 damage
on tag
we'll balance the amounts and type of tag to what is right for the tier it's on
Alright
giving percent tag specifically to later cal whips seems fine
well
We're likely not doing multiplicative tag
Vanilla already HAS multiplicative tag effects in tag crit
multiplicative tag damage was a disaster 
20% tag crit is almost identical to 1.2x tag damage
and yeah, tag crit
sploded
He was a pedo and transphobe.
wait so who's making yharim then
The rest of the team. Duh
This is the context
boss design is completely open
me
but it wouldn't be the original vision?
(this is a joke)
now we're free to make the bosses actually good yes
Holup... u rite...
fabsol's original vision is making him Senator Armstrong Metal Gear Rising Revengeance and Minos Prime Ultrakill
Calamity has like ~50 devs working on it
calamity has not been entirely "the original vision" for a while
not everything is made by Fabsol
2.1 DS š
i need my hype moments and aura
Fab was sitting on itās ass not doing shit to contribute
I did most of those, I think the fight is much better than it's ever been
the only part that was still mainly him by the time he got nuked was bosses
likely a top 3 boss in calamity now at least
Damn
and that's only because he all but refused to let anyone else do boss changes
not that i'm not looking forward to doze dog but the bar is low
I refer to Fab as āItā instead of he because IT doesnāt deserve a gender.
What
kinda weird but you do you i guess
i refer to fab as he because he is a he
he's not voldemort
you're not giving him power by referring to him as a person
So now who's the calamity "leader" ?
ozz
john calamity
I am the calamity
It disrespected others genders, so I wonāt respect its. If someone doesnāt respect peopleās gender, I donāt respect theirs. Simple
ok lol
mind you i believe ozz was already basically the leader before
??????????
yeah ozz was lead programmer
Ozz killed everyone and ruled over the Calamity
Itās just official now
I always wanted john wulfrum to be the one to rule this mod
ozz is just now owner
Was. They killed him.
Such a calamity...
What they don't want u to know is that owner ozz is a different person
weird mindset
ozz has always owned the github and handled coordination of the calamity team proper, yeah
people don't have to have "earned" the right to be called by their preferred pronouns
disrespect doesnt become tolerable because individual was disrespectful in return
me when i make assertions
anyhow
roaring knight
Not sorry
can you make ravager missile movement comprehensible
it is comprehenible
also the head maybe
I know. Iām just tired.
WHAT
Iāve been camping for 3 days and Iām going home today. So Iām making very bad choices thanks to being tired
I remember being told that
I should check
But last I was told yes it used flying pet ai
Pretty sure no
ā¦thatās funny as shit
kiri must die
Message loud and clear, you think it's peak
šØ
NOOO YOURE SUPPOSED TO OBEY ME
Ok yeah it's not floating pet ai
The seven anahita notes
CATCLOPS
i'd win
it was noooobody..... noooooooobody..........
purryphemus
isnt it demon eye AI

No as those can't go trough blocks
it is very easy to make things go through blocks
is this real
please be real
I want to jumpscare my friends with this
no
š
It's real (in GFB)
Thankfully GFB isn't real
every day thanking my potato chips that GFB isn't real
Hey ombgus thoughts on adding 16 neutrinos to Kiri
Probably a good idea idk
Perfect
wtf!!!
wheres the drop
Oh my god.
sso tomorrow
is Dia's Terra Spear rework concept getting real? š¤
Yharim: NOOO, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO OBEY ME!!!
The seven siren souls:
be the bigger person š
woah
the MM Spear should be somewhat close-medium range
Exoblade has already gobbled up too much range 
I AM MAKING CRAFTABLE LOOTBOXES
L
Genshin pfp and making lootboxesā¦..
I am currently revising every fucking vanilla recipe Cal adds
Currently I have settled with
One thing
coming in SSO? 
Probably because they're all simple to implement
cool
Basically what I settled with is that
There are only 2 chest loots that need recipes
Those being Sky and Dungeon loot
Sky and dungeon loot are very very easy to run out of
Everything else? No not at all
Running out of, say, Jungle loot
Would be fucking insane
Therefore
What if we just
Fucking removed every recipe outside of Sky and Dungeon loot
And just made everything else have shimmer chains?
With a few exceptions mind you
shimmer sounds great, especially now that we'll have a marking structure for it
Namely
Shit like Aglet
And also Flippers because crafting Diving Gear is lol
Lmao
Looking back at changelogs, are the Podoboo Koi and Carrion Swarmer still happening
carrion swallower?
Pretty sure they can be found in any Water Chest
Yes but it sucks to find Water Chests
You get what I mean
And in multiplayer servers you'll need like, 4 Flippers
4 flippers with shimmer chains is really not hard to get
Or else half the server can't go to the Abyss
just use journey mode smh
wait maximum player counts for Terraria is 4?
aight
Ultimately I just think that everything that goes into the Diving Suit line should be incredibly easy to access to the player because otherwise that's needlessly halting their capacity to explore the Abyss
ngl
i just wish water chests were more common and they had useful shit more than 0.0000723% of the time
I don't remember the last time I made diving suit over just using reaver explore hotswaps
But the Baby Shark reference...
makes Trident meta
That's like if ULTRAKILL looked at you dead in the eye in 0-E when shit gets hot and said
"You need to go farm for an upgrade to be able to do this level"
seriously throughout all my thousands of hours of playthroughs i've actually gotten water walking boots from a water chest maybe
six times
it's ridiculous
Good idea
Water Walking Boots are so rare
i think they could have put the water mobility on swordfish
Every part will have better drop rates and/or recipes
Oh even better
Like, for the time being
Has Shattered Community always been dedicated to Ozz or was it dedicated to Fabsol before the purge? Because Iām genuinely unsure.
huh??
it was dedicated before
ye
I will be adding recipes for Iron Boots, Anechoic Plating and Depth Charms
Oh it was always dedicated to Ozz
Yeah
HYPE
Until we get around doing shit in the Abyss
And make those items just
Inherently renewable
amidias should sell them...
no
AAA
Zoologist will probably sell fledgling wings though
Neat
But before you ask I don't intend on making those recipes like, super duper easily accessible lmao
make them like infernum 
1 per world š„ š„
is this all 2.1 stuff or are you saving it for some patch
That does make senseā¦
at 90% completion
Because it's cool
Bestiary is like one of the only good shop things terraria has
15%
Real
Hopefully should be in SSO because it's pretty easy to do
ah yeah
My whole view on the abyss diving set is that it should be relatively simple to craft/farm because I'm pretty sure it's simple to get the maxed vanilla diving stuff
It's just tweaking and adding or removing recipes
There are some edge cases but they won't be problematic
It is not easy to get vanilla diving stuff
Like making Pulse Bow drop from the Travelling Merchant if you kill him
I suhwear it wasn't that bad
I don't think we should do that one still tbh
farming Sharks feels like shoving a corn cob up your rear end
I'm a nebraskan that's normal for us
I think that pulse bow should be the same as everything else in his shop when we fix the shop
okay that's a little hyperbole
guess that's why I'm used to it
Yeah sure we can do that
When we, y'know
Fix the shop

that should be really easy
SSO delayed another 5 months
2.1 2027 !!
sso september/october 2032
2.1 in year 2.1k
that's optimistic
SSO? More like SSC, Super Scope Creep
Oh I almost forgot to put Life Crystal recipes on my list because they really need an update jeez
the recipe needs an update? like, nerf or buff
why does it have a recipe at all again
Nerf maybe
Multiplayer
Multiplayer
Ruby isn't super easy to find
rubies are easier to get in caverns nowadays right
because the other one is fishing
Very very messy recipe
ngl I don't think that recipe is really that messy at all
make them drop from nurse 
I think it is because it doesn't have a "core" if that makes sense
TRUE
ā
the core is the healing potion
Making good recipes is a craft, believe it or not 
Wouldn't ruby be the core?
or the ruby
then why are there 2
...or the rocks
Depending on what you look for defining a coee
ugh okay no I see the point
The rocks are definitely not a core
WAIT
wat
Large ruby instead of 2 rubies >:)
oh
There's your core
goodness
Usually recipes are comprised of
- A core basis (what the item is physically made of)
- The magical nucleus (what gives the item power)
- General fluff or a tier lock (just whatever, really)
But that's where it's kinda weird
It doesn't have a core because it's split between rocks and rubies
because gems in terraria have power
Why can't we just make a new ore called Life Crystalium that is used purely to create Life Crystals 
also so do potions
I'd say the core isn't the issue as much as
average minecraft mod
The catalyst is the issue
isn't that a thorium thing
like that one from thorium mod 
YEAH
Well, regardless
Could be made with pink gel? Like its crystalized gel ig
The recipe can be better
make it out of life fruit

where is it implied that pink gel is crystalized
Just sayin', if you want to use my genius idea of using a large ruby
also pink gel is much too rare
it's there now
large ruby is way too expensive
Ok now the question is WHAT THE FUCK IS AN ANECHOIC PLATING
BUT HEY that would make silt more relevant
anechoic means something like "a thing that reduces noise"
Anechoic plating is sound dampening plating
is sound ACTUALLY an abyss mechanic though
So abyss creatures can't detect you as well
heartwarming: calamity developer plays the mod for the first time
it's dark down there
or the detection thing even
Oh wait that's true
How would they find you
Sounds, duh
I usually just bumrush the abyss anyway and treat it like any other biome
and enemies will see me anyway
it feels like a bit of an irrelevant mechanic
yeah me too, i just put teleporters and now dying there isn't a problem
Gotta love the completely inconsequential stealth of the Abyss
agree
Oh hey reb
the impenetrable darkness of the deep sea when it sees my elemental dust machine
maybe it will be better when the abyss is actually well designed
did you know there's already a shimmer cycle for iron boots and anechoic
time to buff the fuck out of the enemies so you have to stealth or you die
Rebecca plays Calamity for the first time (emotional)
WHAT
oh god
REALLY
ye
Yes I know but it's still easy to run out of them
Sure but the creatures probably have pretty bad eyes or none at all
and depth charm
oh my god and i was fishing for those things when i couldn't find them, how dumb
You still need three of them to make one Abyssal Diving Suit
like good luck finding me by eyes when I'm glowing like the sun
That's three Abyss chests burnt out of like
Ever heard of bioluminescence buddy
20?
bioluminescence is not anywhere near the brightness of me swinging elemental Shiv
Assuming 15 of those will have weapons that's 1 and 2/3 of an Abyssal Diving Suit you can make
Not even enough for two players
it's like staring into the sun I'd imagine
Alright true
I could take it
same
I stared into the sun as a kid am I cooked
Staring into the sun is fun
honestly the post skeletron abyss weapons are weird because it just piles on the terraria issue of there already being completely irrelevant dungeon loot AND shadow chest stuff literally right after
Iād imagine Abyss animals have pretty good eyes to be able to pick up bioluminescence anyway
yeah saying bad eyes is misleading
not really?
Assuming more optimal odds of like, 12 weapons and 8 accessories
thatās a separate issue
yeah i have never understood the dungeon weapons from the chests
the moth with eyes attuned to dim lights when I summon the entire goddamn sun in front of it:
the issue is "too many conflicting post skeletron weapons"
At absolute bare minimum
yeah and none of the abyss weapons conflict with them except for like archerfish kind of
I want there to be enough material for 3 players to make whatever the fuck they want
Horrible placement
you can fish
I should make fishing cool
yes
Hatred aside
okay it's been awhile since I've engaged with the abyss lol
Fishing is a last resort and I absolutely DO NOT want to rely on it
only accessible post slime god tho š
If you have to resort to fishing, that's because you REALLY just
Scoured the entire fucking world
yeah terraria uses fishing as a crutch SO FUCKING MUCH
ig fishing is still so hated that doing runs involving it are usually challenge runs

Even then I don't think it would because of how many instances you'd have to resort to it
fishing is so ass š„
Totally real not fake concept art by yours truly (fake concept art). Glowy abyss fishy with shit eyes
name one fishing system that is fun after several hours
Like, we do have moments where I think fishing will become fairly common, namely
there isnāt one
For Shadow Chests and Abyss weapons
Irl fishing
I like terraria fishing when there are specific items that you can only get from fishing
like uh, the bladetongue
that doesn't fix the issue of fishing being the dedicated "non renewable items dumping ground"
I don't think that's an inherent issue on its own
None
I think those two will be fished fairly often, but also that's not really a problem
it doesn't have to be fun after several hours
Because Shadow Chest items barely ever upgrade
Infection weapon fish are thankfully not that hard to obtain
And then thereās Golden Crate
heehoo
And Abyss weapons also don't
we love golden crate
the problem isn't that fishing isn't fun after several hours
it's that it takes several hours to begin with while also not being very fun to begin with
Anyways the one item I'm definitely the most conflicted about here
Is
Frog Leg
I genuinely don't know what to do about Frog Leg's recipe
oh god
Frog leg is
MORE FROGS
Remove the recipe
lock it behind a random jungle crafting component
Idk frog leg could be some sorta alchemical recipe
instead of forg
1% chance from killing frogs
what exactly is the issue
It's frequent enough when fishing
get some potions and stuff them into a frog
other than the recipe being slightly illogical
that would be funny
bam frog leg
it's way too easy rn imo
To the point that one of the specifically fishing items is
easier and quicker to get without fishing
On one hand, Frog Leg is an exclusive fishing drop and the only one we add a recipe for
that's so sad
My little idea would tie it to blood moon if you wanna get the potions quickly
though idk it doesn't need a recipe, does it
On the other hand, it's also the most universal fishing drop while being really damn fun to fuck around, SPECIALLY early game
Frog Leg now drops from nuclear toads
I lean towards remove it if we have to pick
My problem is that Frog Leg is just
but there's gotta be a good middle ground
Really fucking fun to use
add frog boss that drops 10 frog legs per kill
And I don't want to subject people to fishing to get what is like
preboss boss
Top 2 most fun phm accessories

What about... making it more common during fishing, and then make them shimmer into 7 frogs
and remove the recipe
Only behind Sandstorm in a Bottle my beloved
so if you're fishing and get a shitton of them you can turn them into free bait
wulfrum Acrobatics Pack:
instead of them being useless if you get them too often
snadstomr... ā¤ļø
nobody uses that buddy
not true
Frogs arenāt bait what
They will now Doze made WAP PEAK
Or are they
Even peaker
please don't say it like that
the official shortening is "wacro"
yes its true
gonna replace wings
:explods
lmao
he wants the wacro not wap
i just want to try the new gravity globe
havenāt thought about wap in like 5 years
But yeah
Sounds like you've got a trip ahead of you for fixing up recipes
I'm conflicted on Frog Leg and agree with Doze that there HAS to be a good middle ground
good fishing system would be the best solution imo...
fishing should have something
It's weird to untie it from fishing when it's one of the few fishing exclusive rewards
Add it to jungle planetoids?
i think would be better to make fishing actually good
But also FUCK IT'S SO GOOD TO USE
I'd argue removing relevance from fishing is the same as the reaver shark nerf reversion that Fab pulled
tbh i already love fishing lol
The ones with the little lakes in them
that's a good idea
that's so easy
as long as it isn't overused then it should be fine I'd say
jungle planetoids are also really easy to get to and faster than fishing it
Yeah
it would reward exploration
however it is obtained it needs to not replace fishing being the main method
We can do that without stealing a fishing item
right yeah
doze
when trying to unfuck terraria fishing, there are no good solutions 
no no no
lies
lmao
you don't understand
I have a plan to make fishing good
it's top secret
THAT'S IT
the solution is to create an accessory made from wulfrum that enhances fishing in a completely new way
lies
I'M KILLING FROG LEG RECIPE
based
YEAHHHH


genuinely
I am considering something similar
š
Please donāt do a āfishing reworkā for Calamity with proper new mechanics or something
but the accesory is also a fishing pole
turn it into stardew valley fishing and then it gives you like 10x rewards depending on how well you fish
problem solved you can thank me never
it would be only changing calamity fishing poles to have different fishing mechanics
Oh alright
not universal
maybe im the minority but fishing is not as terrible as you guys are acting like it is
Or it would be accessory tied
Something like Chum Caster or WotGās Dreamcatcher
Fishing isn't atrocious I just think it's mind numbingly boring
it's very tedious
And I DESPISE that it's used as such a massive crutch for renewability in Vanilla
I am also genuinely considering making fishing poles also work as accesories
I wouldnāt say mind-numbing but itās definitely comparatively boring
equip a fishing pole and that fishing style gets used on all fishing poles you use
Me with shimmer, honestly
what does the dreamcatcher even do
y'know how fishing poles are made? you could maybe pull a yoyo accessories thing
have like, a reel accessory
I don't mind fishing having unique rewards, the problem is that if you need a specific item and you are having trouble with it
a rod accessory
The answer is either continue looking for the needle in the haystack
a line accessory
Or fishing
things like that
Casts three hooks; one catches normally, one only catches quests, and one only catches crates
My poles would be a little different
in that it would actually fundamentally change how you fish
I donāt think itās the most interesting example but itās an example
we will be able to fish with harpoon? 
Recipes were an attempt at solving Vanilla's renewability issue, but also the general "grindness" of the game
Problem
It went so fucking far that it turned the game into a Boss rush
true
we should just make a loot box that can drop any obtainable item at your stage in progression
That was Fa
Renewable solved
Therefore what I'm doing is pulling back on the recipes, but offering replacements for renewability
yeah but reb meant Golden Lock Box
And also making things like, slightly easier to get
Which
I don't think is bad!
Remember Calamity practically doubles Terraria's content
The game has to be faster
Or else each playthrough will last 20 years
There are 400 Terraria weapons and 700 Calamity weapons (this is Not a good thing)
However, the game being faster doesn't mean
BOSS RUSH
How many of those calamity weapons are post moon lord
Hey what if you make it significantly easier to obtain the dials, buff them, and do something about Cosmolight
Ah
Tl;dr move Cosmolight to Post ML
Make it require an amount of Light and Night Souls to use
Place an item that freezes time in its place in Early HM
i already have cosmolight always in pre-hm 
Ohh yeah I think that makes sense
Particularly if post-ML Hives drop souls, although they wouldnāt provide Light I guess
Youd have to carry souls around with you?
i like the idea of an item that slows time down
The biggest reason Cosmolight exists is because otherwise it's impossible to make Mech Bosses hard
Enjoy dying twice and having to wait for the next night
And then doing that 10 times
Times three
yippee...
Why are mechs night bosses anyway š„
Ask Vanilla
Anyways a timestop solves this issue
You can just
Keep night going forever
And you can grind Mech Bosses however long you want
i never though about it as an issue in a long time, good solution
And whatever other timed boss you want
I like the timestop idea
you should try journey mode 
A lot less than one might think because 1.4 beds exist, but itās still a lot
It is also, ironically, better than Cosmolight at mass farming events like Moons and Eclipse
And allows you to make AFK farms for those
Which I would consider a good thing because all four of those events have unique Calamity stuff to them
beds are so slow š«
For now, Seasonal Moons won't in the future
looking at screen like I'm playing an idle game
Me on my way to make a blood moon farm and then forgetting I had my game on for like multiple hours
Jschlat mention
Is the existence of Solar Veil (almost called it Lunar Veil) up in the air
Solar Veil will likely continue to exist and be expanded upon
Expansion seems better ig
It also actually works as an event blocker if you really think about it
But we should still add event blockers because yeah they are good
Accelerating time is doable within Vanilla as I said and in the future if you really need to go fast you'll get Cosmolight in Post ML
Probably not happening in SSO
But I absolutely think it should be in Part 2 because otherwise uuuuuuuuuuh
Enjoy! You just unlocked an infinite Wrath Potion farm!
:D
please, i hate it is only useful for rogue
Is something being done with blood orbs in 2.2 or what
Make sleep time 5x fast
I remember one idea I wanted to have was like
Make so Blood Orbs don't craft options
But they unlock alternate recipes
Where you can use Blood Orbs to increase the yield of any potion you want, given you have the means of making it
So let's say you have the materials to make 1 Lifeforce potion
Put some Blood Orbs in there, you can make 3 for the cost of one
Personally, I would make so doing this requires something from the Crags
Because I don't think bulk crafting potions should be available so early into the game
But I also don't think it's something so strong that it needs to be locked to Post ML
post Brimstone Elemental
Yeah
And then like
If I wanted to be funny
Make a Post SCal upgrade
That makes the yield even better
holy shit alchemy table upgrade tree
everything progression
Byeah after Blood Orbs I think the last of the old "fuck grinding" mechanics that needs to be looked at is Zerg
But Zerg is also the hardest one of them all
Because it's not really problematic
I had this idea where like
Zerg wouldn't start at full power
And then after 5ish minutes it reaches max power and spawn rates go nuts
At the same time I also imagined the possibility of making Zerg make you take 2 times damage
Ultimately if we do change Zerg I think the best option would be to add skill expression to it
Instead of nerfing it, just make it harder to capitalize on
And then my ultimate crackhead idea
Make Zerg Potion actually just turbofuck spawn rates
But give you a completely unique moveset of throwing hands

Sunny writing 3 whole google doc of "no" with this one
"The fuck around to find out curve" potion
Byeah I don't think what Zerg accomplishes is a problem, basically
i love that gif is so cute
I just think that, due to what the game eventually becomes
It just means you hold M1 and do nothing
Because let's be real here guys I don't think anyone likes farming for the 2% drop you need to make your core class accessory

At least, not for half an hour
But that's not because the droprates are super small or whatever (well it's part of it)
No it's because the process is holding M1

Therefore, that's what I think Zerg should accomplish
Making grinding for that 2% drop way faster
But also make it more involved
Now, if you'll excuse me but
I LOVE GAME DESIGN!!!!!!!!
Also if you're wondering, no I don't need the opposite needs to be done for Zen potion
The problem with Zerg is that it cuts down on grinding but replaces it with nothing, making the experience shorter and equally as boring. It's just boring for a shorter period of time
Yay add stat bloat yayyy
Zen Potion is used when you don't want to focus on combat
100% more health, speed and damage
Zen should makes you take 0.5 damage of course
It's for when you want to just go building
or f*shing
Zen is exclusively made for you to interact with other parts of the game
So
There's absolutely no reason to touch it
Yet at least
It doesn't make the game faster, it makes the game slower
Once the boss rush gets taken out back and shot, it'll see more relevance I bet
Not really, the only time Zen Potion is really usable is if you're like
š¤ ? what does boss rush has to do with Zen
SPECIFICALLY going after a wordly resource
But if we want to solve that just
Make Zen not work in specific biomes
Abyss? Crags?
The general idea behind this entire convo pretty sure
Sorry fam, Zen ain't working
furina .w.
Hi that's me
Basically how to tweak the game to be less boss rush and actually have the player interact with the game but in a faster manner as opposed to skipping it all or making it the same but faster and that's it
Byeah the unholy trinity of boss rush are
yas. still wondering what is the progress with the scal updated dialogue.
So if mod is less boss rush, then I figure zen would be more useful. That's what was swimming in my brain
The countless recipes, Cosmolight and Zerg
I have solutions for two of those already
One is almost certainly being at least partly solved in SSO
Cosmolight hopefully will in the near future
...recipes I assume?
we need to kill ai artist cosmolight
Tossing my hat in the ring again
Zerg could force some sorta event similar to frost or pumpkin moon in any given biome
Which would be a shitton of work
As I've said in this convo, what Zerg accomplishes isn't a problem. What is a problem is that Zerg replaces a boring slog looking for an item for a tremendously shorter, but still boring, slog
forced event š
using zerg during a death blood moon should instantly explode you
Lmao
peak game design
So the solution I'd like to seek is to just make Zerg actually require the player to interact with the dozens of enemies that are approaching
The "how" for that sounds rather complex
I unironically think the best solution of the few I came up with would be the fucking
Especially given how every class interacts with enemy hordes
that could be neat
Cage match, trapped in a box, final destination
3 lives no items
Will there be an actual snowgrave in calamity
what
Realistically any option would feel too limiting to player freedom, it could just be a thing that exists for people who donāt really want to grind but for people who donāt mind it they could just ignore it
I don't think it'd be necessarily limiting of player freedom as long as we don't
Creative shock.
This would be rather tricky wouldn't it? Wouldn't you have to figure out scaling for each stage of the game, as well as figure out a kit that can actually handle enemies of all kinds?
Which I have no intention of making
omg hi
It would, yes
Though I think the scaling part is what's hard
A moveset? Not so much
Why are we giving an entire moveset and gear to a potion
Read my insane ranting
Make it an accessory >:)
No sorry you already lost me no matter what it says
you don't wanna know
read it
schizo talk
The context was a zerg potion rework on the basis of trying to restructure the things that turn calamity into a boss rush
Roughly
And the doomslayer showed up
The tl;dr is just that Zerg Potion is slightly problematic in the sense that it accelerates the game but doesn't entirely cut down on what makes grinding enemies boring
Therefore, I think the solution to make Zerg Potion not problematic is to make so it is far more involved in a way that forces you to deal with the horde of monsters that are approaching you
I think there are many ways of accomplishing this, however my personal favorite idea would be making so the player is stripped and put in a position where they can't just Hold M1 and win
That sounds intrusive and scope-creepy to hell
I mean yeah but it's cool, and if it's not liked then all I'll do is iterate on it more

i have idea
Zerg's downside is that you can't just use it for free or else you'll risk dying by being overwhelmed, and if enemies are too weak then that's an enemy/weapon problem (which we know cal has)
That's true
Though like I don't understand what the problem is with grinding being made easier by the swarming spawns
It could be that once Cal has actually meaningful enemies, Zerg will become more involved
The problem isn't that it's made easier, it's that it doesn't change what makes it boring
Enemies with more than 5hp
This sounds more like an overarching problem of finding grinding in general boring
Not specific to Zerg Potion
so yknow how stomp said to make zerg an accessory?
while i don't like that, i was thinking of how to de-potionify it and what if:
it's a furniture item that increases spawnrates in a radius around it, and the aura does whatever reb wants it to do to the player
(kinda like the really really old scrapped demon trophy event)
Chaos Candle
but better
The fusion.....
Is that a Dragon Ball Z reference
Bringing back demon trophy to be permanant zerg
I don't think it's a terrible idea to make Zerg into a Pylon of sorts
Terraria Otherworld
That does help with the case of
If the problem is that it's a potion, yeah here it is
And there are many, many ways of making fighting endless hordes of mobs fun
Being really evil for a second
If it was a pylon
We could make so it took a specific amount of resources to activate
And it functioned like the OOA crystal
Make every weapon into Grand Dad and then it'll be fun
Where if it was killed
It will deactivate
So now your objective isn't just staying alive
It's also making sure the Zerg pylon isn't deactivated
But even if it was, not the end of the world
You just gotta spend a few extra resources to go back to the slaughterhouse
I really like this idea, honestly
It's the simplest way of solving the issue I think
And unlike OOA it won't have the stupid fucking restrictions, allowing you to, should you please, construct an AFK farm around it
Still gotta make it have a time limit though
i like making it chaos candle tooltip taken literally
Huh?
Can probably add a check that like
maybe it could do a raycast for that
You can't cover it in blocks
this housing is not suitable
But you can still make pitfalls, set traps and whatnot
make it apply death mode speed inflation 
wait actually it might be able to utilize meme's pathfinding algorithm to see if the enemies can still reach it
There are many enemies that go through
Could make the pylon specially fragile too
Not "one hit and you're out" but weaker than the crystal I mean
What are we talking about
My insane ramblings on how to fix some of Cal's breakneck progression speed
Or, at the bare minimum, make them more fun
Oh.
I already mentioned that I don't think Cal can afford to flow at the same speed as Vanilla
The Mod adds twice the content, making it stay at the same speed would make every playthrough last 20 years
But also, it's too fast at the moment
And there's too little substance
In the future, perhaps Cal can actually afford to take 20 years per playthrough
But right now? Nah
I can't wait for all of the Calamity broadswords to be different than usestyle1
no it should cuz if i start a playthrough now then yharim will be out by the time i reach
um
that has to be the day of big celebration
approximately astrum deus i think
I want this to be real so bad. It looks extremely cool.
Rebecca, I think it's supposed to be a Charm
A charm of the depth
looks like a black swan figure
it's pluey
Abyss swan
Pretty sure the black bits is a ribbon, not a swan, loops through the middle of the charm as well.
honestly I always saw this as some metallic... thing idfk, what does the depths charm even do
it has a display sprite and it's located on a knee of all things
Was about to ask if it was upcoming but I was a dum dum bc itās being used rn
a kneepad that magically reduces the harmful effects of the Abyss
It's a pendant of some kind
Turtle
I just finished jjba part 6
thats nice why does that matter here
Its so peakš„ŗš„ŗ
mystery nonsense created by deranged spriters
its being resprited though ..!
a really fucked up bong

šŖµ
Noli before sso
please donāt bring fors*ken into this
45 days until time between BH and SSO part 1 is longer than between R&D and draedon update
dang
forsaken is mid
buh
forsaken itself is a pretty whatever game but my god the fandom and devs suck
Well hereās the thing I hate DBD itself
Itās a given I wouldnāt like DBD but roblox
It being on roblox just means it has an even worse community somehow
yeah, because now it's all children
or manchildren
as opposed to DBD being only uh... MOSTLY manchildren
Dbdās community is already notoriously toxic
I have ex-friends I lost because of how DBD noticeably changed them
Tbh i stopped playing roblox entirely itās kinda just not worth it nowadays
Fair enough
This was quite a spoilerous talk
moon runes
i have no idea what any of that meant
except roblox i know what that one is
I thought it's supposed to be a respiratory mask from another side
Ima be honest i thiught it was a horse shoe
But considering it's placement on the player sheet, I'm not sure anymore
(it's placed on the belt)
yeah
nhgnghnhggnehhrghrnghrnghnghgngrhgrnrrrr
itsa charm i think
NOT AGAIN
how

how do people see those images and think it's legit
can ppl get less gullible Thanks!
18 cases of beer
please do send modmails when one of those comes up, especially if it sits there for a while like one of those did
they're just image embeds so they don't get flagged, and i don't lurk here 24/7 to catch them right away
might be a bit of a bystander effect thing where everyone expects someone else to send in a modmail, resulting in noone sending a modmail
Ok
i wonder if the image links they send are the same everytime and if so can those links specifically just get eaten
i know its gonna be wack a mole if you do that
pretty much just not worth it, yea
block one and it's different 15 minutes later
send 5 modmails please it is better
Alright
aight
what if I say no
your SSO privileges will be revoked
concerning
the ban rebounds and hits you instead :3
