Ah i missread

#

I thought only aegis had kept it

dull heart
#

KB immunity is kept on valor

#

I just don't remember the recipe

main falcon
#

Are the cosmic guardians removed to prevent lifesteal builds

#

Since they take more damage on the body so their are easier to lifesteal

sterile moss
#

Nah I think they were removed bc they don’t make a whole lot of sense

main falcon
#

Compared to dog

dull heart
#

No they were removed because they sucked

main falcon
#

That's true

sterile moss
#

Hope this rework makes dog actually fun

main falcon
#

He will never be fun

sterile moss
#

He’s prolly the only post ml boss I don’t really enjoy besides cv

main falcon
#

The only fun is the excitement for reaching certain thresholds

pseudo vector
#

from personal experience new DoG is actually fun

main falcon
#

Jk

#

I love dog

pseudo vector
#

he's a lot more enjoyable than public DoG

#

and i much prefer it to infernum DoG

sterile moss
main falcon
#

Why is the anhk being taken away from the asguard

pseudo vector
#

decentralisation

main falcon
#

I thought it was a neat addition

sterile moss
#

Didn’t want another “how fast can you double tap” test

main falcon
wide wadi
sterile moss
#

(I know there’s a dash hotkey but muscle memory got me used to double tapping)

pseudo vector
#

there's a few reasons but it'd take a bit to explain

wide wadi
#

Or would you say the old duke is trash and should be removed

pseudo vector
main falcon
#

I don't like the criticism of the long crafting trees

#

I deeply enjoy getting to upgrade gear

pseudo vector
#

ankh was always very tedious to craft

main falcon
#

The hunts are neat since I can see what changes in most biomes and refresh my memory

sterile moss
#

There’s a balance that needs to be struck

pseudo vector
#

i'm neutral on old duke personally, i don't have much of a strong attachment to him but he's fine

main falcon
#

Since slime god dropped 2 of them

pseudo vector
#

there are much worse fights than old duke

cinder hearth
sterile moss
#

Base calamity duke isn’t terrible if you just keep moving

main falcon
#

And the others are drops of multiple snemies

cinder hearth
#

Calamity adds crafting recipes for every single ankh shield component iirc

sterile moss
#

Infernum duke quickly devolves into a “how fast can you double tap” test before the “how fast can you double tap” test

main falcon
#

Yeah but i think it was deserved to be good

pseudo vector
#

asgard's valor was too good for its point in the game

main falcon
#

And besides common debuffs stopped being that important later on

cinder hearth
#

Or well, could be better, rather

pseudo vector
#

it'll be more balanced and other options will be more viable as a result

main falcon
distant raft
#

you cannot outpace inf old duke p4

dull heart
#

Yeah the issue was not the crafting tree

pseudo vector
cinder hearth
dull heart
#

what the issue was is valor being too strong

sterile moss
distant raft
#

i know

main falcon
#

You used with the upgrade to the shield of cuthulu

cinder hearth
distant raft
#

your shield slam doesn't recharge fast enough to outpace old duke's own

main falcon
#

To get both the debuffs buffs and strong dash

cinder hearth
#

The debuff immunity is good but like, that's not the MAIN function of valor

pseudo vector
#

asgard's valor will still be good and still gives knockback immunity

distant raft
dull heart
#

The debuff immunity isn't even that good

quiet spade
#

I leave the channel for a sec and yor already spoing

untold chasm
pseudo vector
#

debuff immunity being taken away doesn't immediately make it useless

main falcon
#

That's the alternative to the old valor trading more simple valued for a stronger dash and damage potential

dull heart
#

At that point it would be a nerf to Aegis

sterile moss
dull heart
#

Because it would make aegis worse with Radiance

untold chasm
#

Oh true

main falcon
#

Since the ram dash frames got alredy reduced

pseudo vector
distant raft
#

its pointless to add it back

dull heart
#

The only times Valor+ got any value from debuff immunity is like

  • dungeon
  • cultist
  • post provi profaned enemies
main falcon
#

If the inmunity weren't the problems why remove them

dull heart
#

and I needed it to not get that value on cultist

main falcon
#

The dash itself alredy got nerfed

dull heart
#

So the immunity was a problem

distant raft
#

because it was part of the problem, not the sole problem

pseudo vector
#

the nerfs to dashes aren't that crazy anyways

#

it won't make that much of a difference

distant raft
#

the problem was that it functions as a generalist accessory with specialist effectiveness

untold chasm
#

As long as the ram dash nerf doesn’t make polterghast more annoying

main falcon
#

So what's the beneficiary for this change

distant raft
#

you won't automatically run it

main falcon
#

There's only one other shield and it doesn't get upgrades

dull heart
#

boss design in a couple spots

dull heart
distant raft
#

when was the last time you didn't use valor the second it became available?

main falcon
#

Never

dull heart
#

high ruler is also a mega beneficiary from this

main falcon
#

It was Just like wings to me

dull heart
#

Exactly

distant raft
dull heart
#

That's the problem

main falcon
#

The voidsash alredy had the dodge chance value

pseudo vector
untold chasm
#

I mean, I think that’s also attributable to dashing being supremely dopamine inducing

dull heart
quiet spade
#

Against *

main falcon
#

The void sash upgrades doesn't feel that great

cinder hearth
#

Alright, let me paint you a picture

Post plantera/post golem, you have three dash options.

Master ninja gear, which gives a dodge, and a normal, not bonk nor ram dash

Shield of the high ruler, which gives a bonk dash, and lower recovery frames for dashing if you bonk.

And then you have the fucking Asgard's valor, which gives a ram dash (best type of dash), knockback immunity (really useful if you don't have it), and as cherry on top, plenty of immunity to smaller debuffs.

Do you see the difference in balance between the three? With the exception of Moonlord, where you can use master ninja gear because absorber is also really good and gives the defensive stuff, and master ninja gear gives a dodge, you really have no other choice that's nearly as good as Asgard's valor.

That's why it got nerfed, both in ram dash frames, and by losing out on the small debuff immunities.

dull heart
#

Technically the Radiance line also benefits from this

main falcon
#

That's more fault of the voidsash

dull heart
main falcon
#

Hopefully

dull heart
#

but to make them compete with the rams we had to WAY overtune them

main falcon
#

But the asgard nerfs then just feel done out of spite

dull heart
#

there was a point where void sash was so fast it could dash through ares laser arm lol

cobalt wharf
#

mng dodge is BROKEN AS FUCK RN and yet even still

pseudo vector
#

???

arctic cliff
lyric trellis
main falcon
#

Not really

cinder hearth
main falcon
#

Just envy

dull heart
#

void sash once could outrun ares that was funny

pseudo vector
#

asgards was just incredibly busted anyways

main falcon
lyric trellis
#

Ninja belt envy so true

main falcon
#

I just have problem with inmunitys

untold chasm
#

Immunities are less relevant than you think

pseudo vector
#

it'll probably end up being an inconsequential change when you get around to playing

untold chasm
#

Esp for bossfights

main falcon
#

It's makes the ram dashes more skillfully and gives around more usefullnessto the other dashes

cinder hearth
main falcon
#

You arent on bosfigth 24/7

white aurora
#

just means laudanum is better now XD

quiet spade
#

The point is to make sure players have consistence different options at the moment to choose which one of the dashes we can use?

I'm a bit lost fr

cinder hearth
pseudo vector
#

you'll probably feel the ram dash nerf but the lack of immunities will be whatever in the long run

cobalt wharf
#

because awesome game

main falcon
cinder hearth
quiet spade
#

Well on my side I always use the ninja gear no matter what role I'm playing

pseudo vector
#

again i'd wait until the update comes out because chances are the changes won't mean much in the end

white aurora
#

how many things inflict the debuffs ankh shield protects you from?

quiet spade
#

The dodge attack shit is broken

main falcon
dull heart
#

The only times Valor+ got any value from debuff immunity is like

  • dungeon
  • cultist
  • post provi profaned enemies
quiet spade
main falcon
cobalt wharf
#

profaned enemies?

arctic cliff
quiet spade
#

I don't remember the name

distant raft
#

chilled?

main falcon
#

Frostbite

pseudo vector
#

frostbite is a pretty inconsequential debuff

distant raft
#

because chilled is from

quiet spade
dull heart
#

Oh anahita

#

I didn't know that

quiet spade
#

Not chilled, the one that slows down (that is also bad)

#

The one that doesn't let you move

dull heart
#

Anyway the immunities being on a must have accessory was BAD

distant raft
#

eidolists inflict frozen

dull heart
#

it meant I couldn't actually use any debuffs when I wanted to

#

Before most players would already have immunity built in

distant raft
#

it sucks to have to comb though the articles because frozen doesn't have its own page on the cal wiki

main falcon
dull heart
#

what

quiet spade
#

W

dull heart
#

I meant like use them from a designing boss or enemies standpoint

main falcon
#

Ah

#

I thought you meant builds that used debuffs

dull heart
#

This is also why warmth no longer reduces Chilled or Frozen

#

I reworked cultist ice mist to be better and rely on chilled and frozen

#

valor line existing made that an attack I could not have done

main falcon
#

Ankh didn't protect against that

dull heart
#

Valor did though

#

Ankh blocks chilled

main falcon
#

Then remove that

dull heart
#

Ornate blocked frozen

quiet spade
main falcon
#

I don't think ankh blocked chilled

#

When was that

distant raft
quiet spade
quiet spade
distant raft
#

it doesnt actually give immunity to burning

quiet spade
#

When the fuck

distant raft
#

just hot rock

white aurora
#

there are really not that many enemies that inflict the debuffs ankh protects you from ngl, like there are enemies that you would be fighting at the tier you get valor but most of the debuffs are from enemies that should give you no trouble at all

distant raft
quiet spade
#

In which part of the damn tree

distant raft
#

nothing in vanilla gives immunity to the debuff itself

main falcon
#

None

quiet spade
#

Does it have something to do with the chilled thing

distant raft
#

and i don't think anything in cal does either

main falcon
#

Just ankh

valid crypt
#

Mittens maybe?

dull heart
#

They added chilled from the snow mitt

white aurora
valid crypt
#

Hand warmers

distant raft
#

i mean burning

dull heart
#

but they didn't add mittens to the recipes bc Christmas lock

#

Hand warmers 👍

quiet spade
distant raft
#

burning is a horrid debuff

dull heart
#

I may have made burning meta

distant raft
#

as seen with maso wof and eternity+ golem

valid crypt
#

Except christmas can be accessed any time via the silly frost moon

quiet spade
#

Trust

main falcon
#

Then if chilled was a problem why not just remove that instead of the whole ankh

dull heart
#

burning is 60 DPS

distant raft
#

and nuked grounded speed

main falcon
#

Chicanery

dull heart
white aurora
dull heart
#

To the average player removing Ankh is straight up a benefit

dull heart
#

because valor is easier to make

#

And the debuff immunities change almost nothing

quiet spade
wide wadi
#

The ankh shield can block petrifaction

white aurora
#

huge

wide wadi
dull heart
#

It uses hand mirror so yes

quiet spade
wide wadi
#

One enemy in the game uses petrificstion

quiet spade
pseudo vector
#

petrification
a status effect only inflicted by one enemy

wide wadi
white aurora
#

there are 3 whole enemies that inflict broken armor

#

lmao

main falcon
#

Yeah do you really wanna add a boss with the bullshit debuffs of pretification or make more bosses inflict bleed

pseudo vector
#

such a massive impact on my terraria gameplay

dull heart
#

my intrusive thoughts just told me to put cream cheese on garlic bread

main falcon
#

Armour damage already replaced armour crunch in my head when figthing bosses

dull heart
#

Actually

#

Petrification might be worth using

main falcon
#

And you can't get an inmunity to armour damage

white aurora
#

evil

dull heart
#

it would be a very effective anti flying tool

white aurora
#

ravager :3

main falcon
distant raft
main falcon
#

It would be just frustrating to figth

pseudo vector
#

immunity to armour damage would be genuinely game breaking lmao

dull heart
quiet spade
white aurora
quiet spade
fathom girder
main falcon
dull heart
#

I could see Ravager using petrification

rugged goblet
#

Fargos

main falcon
#

And unfun

dull heart
wide wadi
#

The only boss I know that uses petrifaction is the Fargo boss

white aurora
dull heart
#

if it was on a clearly telegraphed effect that's easily available

quiet spade
dull heart
#

Then it's fine

main falcon
#

The same with the silenced debuff

pseudo vector
#

an easy to dodge attack that inflicts a nasty debuff if you actually get hit

main falcon
#

Not getting to use your weapons feels awful

distant raft
dull heart
#

like I could see Ravager limiting you to not fly more than 30 tiles off the ground

#

Or else you get petrified

distant raft
main falcon
#

And a boss able to inflict it would be hated

dull heart
#

not actually doing that but it's an example

distant raft
main falcon
#

Bleed stops natural regen

dull heart
#

Silenced is horrible because it only works on Mana

main falcon
#

I can see that one being interesting to be used in bosses

dull heart
#

I could see Cursed working in rare situations

quiet spade
#

Why won't you leave that to the reworked ravager?

main falcon
#

As 8 said

#

That doesn't feel challenging

#

Just annoying

#

Like you are being cheated

quiet spade
#

Bro you ok?

distant raft
dull heart
#

does scal being invincible from a bullet hell feel like being cheated

white aurora
#

they just have to implement them well its not like they're gonna just slap them on random attacks

dull heart
#

Then times you can't attack can work

#

Yeah

#

We just have to do it right

main falcon
#

That's the boss not being able to being attacked

#

Not you being unable to attack while the boss is there

distant raft
main falcon
#

You feel bad because you could be dealing damage but you arent

hoary bay
#

Breaking news: America joins the war after Calamitas bombs Galaxy Pearl Harbor

earnest jewel
#

It was Italy, so if anything this is overkill!

main falcon
#

Scal reduces opacity and moves to background so you can tell she is not hittable

white aurora
main falcon
#

So you concentrate on the bullet hell

plush carbon
#

eh it's not true but fargo slander is good in my books

white aurora
main falcon
#

Don't speak

#

I didn't ask you anything

valid crypt
#

Woke lesbian jesus and normal jesus

main falcon
#

No diference

valid crypt
#

Damn

dull heart
main falcon
#

Yeah

#

Makes sense

#

Why wouldnt it be good

wide wadi
dull heart
#

Yes

main falcon
#

But to repeat myself

#

The reason why scal not being hittable during bullet hell is ok while cursed it's not

#

It's the ability to do so

#

You are not loosing damage because you fucked up and got inflicted with a debuff

#

You cant hit her anyways during that state so you concentrate on dodging

#

It's to help the mindset to keep the battle engaging

#

It's "oh it doing something so I can't attack it during it" and not "oh I could be attacking it but I can't"

white aurora
#

thats why debuffs like silence and cursed and stuff should be on things that are well telegraphed and should be a punishment for getting hit by it, because getting hit by a well telegraphed attack would be your fault

dull heart
#

Yeah

main falcon
#

It would still feel bad

cobalt wharf
#

getting hit should be removed because it feels bad

#

im rage baiting a little bit but you can’t really use “feels bad” as the extent of the reason it needs to be expanded more then that

quiet spade
#

I didn't want to say it

#

But yes

cobalt wharf
#

having it happen randomly without much reason does feel bad yes

#

but when used properly there’s nothing inherently wrong

#

i’d like to use a slowing thing from silksong as an example of how to use it well but i don’t want to spoil that

quiet spade
#

Like a very wise person said ages ago

"𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒅𝒈𝒆."

modern jolt
#

I can actually agree with this sentiment in specific cases

pseudo vector
#

at that point its legit just
don't get hit and you won't get punished

#

getting hit by easy to dodge attacks being punishing makes sense to me at least

quiet spade
#

Yeah

modern jolt
#

For example, one of the fundamental issues PBG has that can make it very annoying is that you absolutely must kill its minions. On its own, that's not an issue, and the minions have a relatively predictable way of moving, however, they're tanky enough that you can sometimes end up in situations where you take too long to kill them, and it just spawns more. If that's the case, then your best bet is really to just facetank the minions to make them go away, which is annoying

#

I personally really dislike that the minions work like that for the reason mentioned, it just doesn't feel good when you could be attacking the boss but you have to focus on this or get hit

white aurora
#

pbg's attacks are also just fucking impossible to see sometimes

#

because it's all green

#

dark green with a green filter

dull heart
#

Yeah that's PBG's main problem

quiet spade
#

Relatable

dull heart
#

It's All Green And Black

pseudo vector
#

and occasionally red

quiet spade
modern jolt
#

I can definitely understand that issue

#

Personally it doesn't bother me that much, but it would be nice if there was better color separation

#

I really just wish the minions didn't have health at all, is my issue

#

They're already punishing enough just by existing

dull heart
#

That wouldn't make much sense

#

It is a queen bee after all

#

also if you couldn't kill them you'd have to be hit by them

modern jolt
#

I more pose that they could be like a Crabulon pod scenario where they just die if you hit them

dull heart
#

that would kill any presence they have in the fight at all

#

the minions are pretty fine overall although maybe slightly too aggressive

#

They do encourage you to pick a crowd control weapon but that's a good thing

#

actually encouraging weapon variety woohoo

modern jolt
#

My issue mostly comes from a situation like

quiet spade
#

Just fix the shader or make the hittable minions more visible (?

modern jolt
#

You're close to the ground, and you need to go under PBG before it dashes at you

#

You really need to kill the minions

quiet spade
#

Like flashing lights, sprite fix or infernum shi

modern jolt
#

If you don't, you have to choose between getting dashed into, or facetanking the minions so they die

dull heart
#

If you put yourself in a bad position you get the consequences

#

That's how that works

quiet spade
#

That's also true

dull heart
#

Also you can just ram PBG when she dashes you

modern jolt
#

Okay, I guess my problem is: I have literally no idea how you're supposed to make a viable arena for this boss then

#

and I never have

misty wren
#

big and open

dull heart
#

I just use the vernal pass with the middle carved out

#

and then some platforms

#

Right now PBG is definitely overtuned though

modern jolt
#

Even doing that it still feels like I have that issue though, esp if I need to go down

misty wren
#

most of the time minions arent a threat usually i can just outrun them while killing them

white aurora
#

my only problem with the fight is the visibility cause for the minions you just gotta use the right weapons

dull heart
#

Yeah

quiet spade
dull heart
#

What class can't kill the minions well?

quiet spade
#

Or weapons

misty wren
#

ive never had that issue

dull heart
#

well weapons is a "go pick a better weapon"

quiet spade
#

Ok my bad

dull heart
#

Fishron and Empress are single target weapons

#

And PBG and Ravager are crowd control weapons

modern jolt
#

ig I could just be skill issue but I just don't know how to deal with the minions in PBG effectively at all

misty wren
#

piercing weapon

open steeple
#

i find pbg super fun once learned

dull heart
#

use a weapon that has large piercing/area damage

quiet spade
#

My fault for making the comment

open steeple
#

but pbg is probably harder than provi on tier id say

modern jolt
#

In my last playthrough I used Forbidden Sun and it felt like the best option I've tried, but it always felt sketchy

cobalt wharf
#

i feel like pbg is fine in the very specific circumstances of regular playthrough with normal gear and damage but anything outside of that makes it terrible

quiet spade
#

I'm going to lore to argue about breedable demons instead

dull heart
#

Terra Blade, Snowman Cannon, Betsy's Wrath come to mind

cobalt wharf
#

not to mention ram dash skew

white aurora
#

mage has the most issue with them imo

open steeple
#

yeah but forcing very specific weapons isnt good game design

#

multiple options should be viable

quiet spade
dull heart
#

there is way more than those few

#

Those just come to mind

#

For mage PBG I used Wasp Gun

#

with Betsy's Wrath for support

quiet spade
#

Wasp gum

dull heart
#

but mostly wasp gun

modern jolt
#

I tried that before I settled on Forbidden Sun and that didn't feel like it was even remotely viable

#

They would just target PBG

dull heart
#

The wasps target whatever is closest

#

which is usually the minions

cobalt wharf
#

oh yeah forbidden sun is just dogshit in general isn’t it

dull heart
#

Yeah I think so

cobalt wharf
#

sad!

modern jolt
#

I have no idea what else you'd use for mage lol

cobalt wharf
#

vanilla stuff

white aurora
#

inferno fork is crazy strong in cal

dull heart
#

empress mage dropa

white aurora
#

i didn't know how fast it was

cobalt wharf
#

even like boulder staff is nice

dull heart
#

Stellar Tune or Nightglow or Razorblade Typhoon

#

All are good options I think

cobalt wharf
#

who is fighting pbg after eol

dull heart
#

idk

misty wren
#

people that find eol easier

distant raft
#

i remember bat scepter being decent

dull heart
#

bat scepter is VERY good

#

Probably the best option before any other post golem boss

distant raft
#

like even without pierce it still does damn well on pbg

dull heart
#

yeah it's just cracked in general

cobalt wharf
#

pbg does also have the fat boss problem where piercing projectiles hit multiple times and deal way more damage

dull heart
#

calamity is way too afraid to use -1 local iframes

#

Like 75% of our weapons or more should be using them

lyric trellis
#

Fat boss problem 💔

cobalt wharf
#

not even -1 just like. 20 or something.

#

is enough

lyric trellis
#

Aureus and Levi dr incidents

dull heart
#

20 would have no reason to happen

#

unless you need it to rehit

#

a lot of the minions should also be moved to -1 local that's reset as part of the attack pattern, like Terraprisma has

cobalt wharf
#

i like it when my gravity affected projectile goes through the enemy into the sky and hits on the way down

#

that’s peak

dull heart
#

okay make the -1 reset when it hits the apex

#

I did that for Eradicator rework

cobalt wharf
#

then it hits twice when you space it XD

modern jolt
#

I think I'm realizing, I might just be fucking stupid when it comes to Jungle bosses bc both PBG and Yharon I had tremendous problems just setting up a proper arena to fight them, based on what I've heard here

cobalt wharf
#

can’t win

dull heart
#

it hits twice if you don't space it too

#

just more spread out

cobalt wharf
#

not talking about eradicator but in my boulder staff example

dull heart
#

but yeah

#

There are some times where not using -1 makes sense

#

but a lot of them should be -1

cobalt wharf
#

the fat boss issue isn’t really an issue when you don’t have humongous boss sprites anyways byeah

modern jolt
#

I really like the idea of PBG and really just the Plague in general

#

I think I just have a very negative connotation about post-Golem cause for a very long time it's been fucking awful to go through in most playthroughs

#

There's a lot of things I really dislike about post-Golem

#

Mostly with vanilla bosses, I'd say

#

Also with the events, but then again I don't know if anyone's ever actually liked Pumpkin Moon or Frost Moon very much

dense sundial
#

They’re vanilla events which are like

#

Nothing needs to be said

halcyon seal
#

I really like post golem honestly

#

I don’t think pbg is that bad

#

Like obviously it can be a whole lot better but

#

It’s no ravager

open steeple
#

pbg is fun imo

#

rav is dogshit

halcyon seal
#

Which is the only post golem boss I actually dislike lol

modern jolt
#

Oh tbf PBG isn't a bad boss post-Golem, I just have specific issues with it

open steeple
#

imo cryogen should be retiered personally

modern jolt
#

I also think Ravager is like, fine, it's not very interesting, but it's not unforgivable

halcyon seal
#

Betsy is pretty cool

#

Fishron and Empress are incredible

open steeple
#

extremely complex fight for how early on you are supposed to fight them

halcyon seal
#

And Cultist, honestly I like him a lot more than I probably should

open steeple
#

and they are very tanky

modern jolt
#

I'd say most often, there's about a 60% chance I quit a playthrough on either Cultist or ML

dense sundial
vivid hemlock
open steeple
#

like its more phases than yharon i think

#

and yharon is a complex boss

modern jolt
#

Especially when I used to only do Tank build

halcyon seal
dense sundial
#

Yharon has 7

#

Cryo has 7 tops

modern jolt
#

This is probably a hot take:

halcyon seal
#

Like the worst calamity boss is masdeath sprime or masdeath plant imo

#

But like, what can you even say about Ravager

modern jolt
#

Despite basically just being a Golem clone, Ravager is a better boss than Golem

#

Golem is fucking bad.

halcyon seal
#

It’s the boss that literally nobody likes, and you can’t really dislike it either?

open steeple
#

yharon is only like 5 if on death tbh

modern jolt
#

The only thing that makes Golem tolerable is that Calamity is nice enough to give you a proper sized area to fight him

dense sundial

I am VERY appreciative that you have that arena

#

but it does not make Golem itself any less cringe

dense sundial
#

Vanilla Golem is aight

open steeple
#

golem is shit

dense sundial
#

I think

modern jolt
#

Vanilla Golem is kind of weird imo

#

It's a bizarre fight

#

Not helped bc the arena is terrible

halcyon seal
#

Vanilla golem would be a lot better if he wasn’t the 3rd last boss in main progression

#

He was the final boss for a WHILE there

modern jolt
#

I actually like Golem conceptually but it's another boss kind of like Prime imo where people are very prone to overtune it and make it garbage

open steeple
#

prime is annoying

#

the fucking skulls on death mode have an insane turn speed

modern jolt
#

There do exist great versions of Golem

dense sundial
modern jolt
#

but like the Calamity one is def not a good time

#

I hate Cultist for p much the same reason, it feels super overtuned

#

Also it spams a really annoying attack that's just bad even by vanilla's standards

#

I will give credit though, EoL is peak

#

They cooked, and I think it's actually very fortunate that Fab just didn't touch Empress at all, judging from what I've seen

dense sundial
#

No, he did

modern jolt
#

Duke is also kind of peak

dense sundial
#

Cal EoL doesn’t oneshot at daytime, she holds position harder and even further away, she attacks a ways faster, and she’s not patterned

modern jolt
#

Oh I see

dense sundial
#

Done asked Fab to make EoL stay closer to make true melee physically usable against her and he did precisely the opposite

modern jolt
#

Yeah tbf the only reason I have a good perspective of EoL is probably because I've never done a Tank playthrough while EoL was a thing

#

Most of my cope has come from primarily focusing melee weapons with Tank

#

Traditionally, there are a lot of bosses that are quite miserable doing this

fringe quiver
#

eol didn't need any changes at all to be honest shes already like

#

the best boss in vanilla

#

by a mile

#

dont fix what's not broken bros

modern jolt
#

Oh yeah definitely, EoL is really good

quiet spade
#

True

modern jolt
#

Even in Vanilla it def stands out

fringe quiver
#

the fabsol touch ruins all ...

modern jolt
#

I mean, I like vanilla Duke, and I'm fine with vanilla Golem and ML

#

Cultist is the most nothingslop boss ever lol

#

EoL is quite remarkable

fringe quiver
#

fabsol on his way to make every bossfight ever a rungod

quiet spade
#

But what was the change

#

I fight it and it's... Quite the same but with more swords in screen

#

modern jolt
#

Real talk

#

Calamity Twins peaks

#

Twins my true goat, no matter how bad smth is I know Twins always gives me a fun time

Is that it? I'm too used to be too far from the vanilla EoL that I didn't notice

stone fiber
#

Hey guys, so we'll be getting new sprites for the Celestus projectiles and Cosmic Immaterializer minion eventually, right?
Or is this going to wait until the miracle weapons rework? XD

hushed hazel
#

i mean probably

#

would be weird if they stayed the same when miracle matter gets its redesign

stone fiber
#

Okay but imagine if 1.4.5 releases before SSO and it gets delayed another couple of months
That'd be hilarious CalWheeze

quiet spade
#

Why?

#

It's gorgeous

hushed hazel
#

the devs don't like how it looks rn

quiet spade
#

But I don't know, it doesn't look bad

molten grove
#

mostly the gear

hushed hazel
#

specifically how vague and disjointed the weapons look design wise

modern jolt
#

tbf I do find Miracle Matter confusing

quiet spade
modern jolt
#

Draedon specifies that it's basically just a soup of materials that you happened to stabilize

hushed hazel
molten grove
#

relateds

quiet spade
modern jolt
#

but it looks really bizarre

#

ig tbf, wtf do you sprite "matter" to look like in this case

quiet spade
modern jolt
#

but it's like multiple cubes

quiet spade
#

But not ugly

modern jolt
#

Well no, I don't think it looks bad

#

It's just strange

keen zodiac
#

wouldnt the thing sorta look like shadowspec bar in some vein?

quiet spade
#

If they forgor to reesprite it, I wouldn't be mad

modern jolt
#

I do agree with the sentiment tho that miracle weapons are wildly varied looking

#

Probably too much so

quiet spade
#

I only can see cube

#

With tail

quiet spade
hushed hazel
#

not even just that they look wildly varied, the issue the devs have raised is how the design of the weapons don't really make sense material wise

quiet spade
modern jolt
#

They look really cool but they don't really match what I would imagine "Draedon weapons" to be

stone fiber
#

Why?
(Is it because something something final update?)

hushed hazel
#

like there's roots and crystals and fire that are inexplicably part of the same thing because ?

modern jolt
#

I mean ig they're not really Draedon's weapons, but they are clearly meant to be like an alternative to them

hushed hazel
#

you're the one who invents miracle matter, after all

modern jolt
#

True

#

and Draedon does remark that if you hadn't stabilized it, it would basically just be a bunch of bullshit you put together

modern jolt
#

which in some way that is what it looks like

quiet spade
#

In the narrated way, it's accurate

#

That's how it's supposed to look like

#

Because of the context

modern jolt
#

I do like that it's canon that you are an absolute master smith

quiet spade
modern jolt
#

ig you kind of have to be to work with Cosmilite and fragments from the Auric Dragon

#

Or Auric Ore, for that matter

quiet spade
vivid hemlock
#

nope

keen zodiac
#

supernovic-maelstrom

quiet spade
vivid hemlock
#

draedon didnt make any of the cosmilite weapons or armor the player has

quiet spade
#

I remember reading it somewhere that draedon was in the creation of the original cosmolite gear, principally the armor set

modern jolt
#

Well he made DoG's armor plating, didn't he?

quiet spade
#

That's what I mean

#

Kinda

modern jolt
#

I believe that was what he made specifically, which I think he did use Cosmilite for

vivid hemlock
#

dog's armor is nothing like what we make

modern jolt
#

Yeah I was gonna say that too, DoG is massive

quiet spade
modern jolt
#

Idk how big the player is but I mean by reference DoG must be at least like... 50 feet in diameter or smth

#

He has huge ass armor plates that are prob entirely different from what you would make

quiet spade
#

I'm not entirely saying that he made the armor itself that we use, I'm talking about the original idea

#

The idea where the armor came from, the dog

#

The dog's armor

modern jolt
#

Okay but what I can't wait to see is the peak DoG dialogue in the update

quiet spade
#

It just says extended

#

But how much

modern jolt
#

Oh I have no idea

#

I just know they said while talking about DoG's revamp that they expanded his dialogue

The big chicken nugget with wings

Yeee

Thats why he drops 4912 chicken nugget

quiet spade

The fact that you can calculate how big is yharon irl with the chicken nuggets that he drops is hilarious

potent scroll
#

Wait fr? 😭

quiet spade
#

I wonder if he'll still drop chicken after the rework

potent scroll
#

Probaly not or idk

quiet spade
potent scroll
#

Honestly i dont know how many chicken nugget you can make from a Chicken :d

#

The update will be so

#

MASSIVE

#

Its not even update anymore

#

They reworked the whole mod

quiet spade
#

You can imagine

potent scroll
quiet spade
#

Divide 4912 / 65

#

Yharon is 75.56 chickens on size

#

Avarage

potent scroll
#

So its also does means is Yharon Weight is equal with 75 chicken?

#

Its not sounds alot for a dragon

stiff light
#

no

quiet spade
#

We're not counting with the things that doesn't convert into chicken nuggets

#

Like the peak or some other parts

potent scroll
#

a

stiff light
#

do you think they use every part of the chicken

#

for nuggets

quiet spade
#

It's only an approximation

quiet spade
stiff light
#

also its probably just a random number of nuggets he drops

#

or a niche refernece

potent scroll
#

Nah im forgot about organs and others

quiet spade
potent scroll
quiet spade
#

And bones

#

Let's take this as the size/weight for the muscle and similar

#

Removing bones weight, peak, etc

potent scroll
#

So only the meat part?

quiet spade
#

Yep

stiff light
#

not even all the meat

quiet spade
#

There's some parts that can't be chicken nuggets

stiff light
#

30-40% of the chicken is nuggetable

#

go crazy guys

potent scroll
#

Let's say just the breast part of the chicken because thats where chicken has the most meat

quiet spade
#

I'm just doing an approximation of the weight/size because I'm bored

stiff light
#

you know you can just google

quiet spade
stiff light
#

it is

quiet spade
#

Let me do a quick calculation

quiet spade
#

It's 55 to 60% of the chicken meat

#

That can be nugget

#

If it's used precisely

#

And if we take on data that

#

Just with the nuggets that he drop

#

It's 75 chickens on scale

stiff light
#

only white chicken meat can be used to make nuggets

quiet spade
#

We can say that

stiff light
#

unless ur a freak

quiet spade

The ACTUAL yharon is

quiet spade

Let me cook

One sec

stiff light

but im right

Are we count the white slime from the Bones what also used to make chicken nugget because in my country they not count as meat

quiet spade

are you assuming hes a square

quiet spade

I took a chicken as an example

modern jolt

There is no way Yharon is 1200 tons

stiff light

he isnt

quiet spade
stiff light

buildings weigh that much

modern jolt
#

He's not bigger than Leviathan, which is whale

quiet spade
#

If we took the game sizes we're not going anywhere

stiff light
#

he could not fly if he was 1200 tonnes

modern jolt
#

and the average whale does not weigh even close to that much

quiet spade

Where do you see the logic there m8

The guide is around 1.8 metres tall
The leviathan is around 10.25x as tall as him = 18.45 metres tall
The leviathan is in 100:45 format so she's 2.22(etc) times as wide as she's tall
18.45 × 2.22(etc) = 41 metres

#

So she's got a length of 41 metres and is 18.45 metres tall

#

That's far larger than the largest blue whale ever recorded
