and isn't really hurting anyone that can't beat the bs

[agile latch]

the 10 normal mode players

[strong isle]

I personally believe that these items are as much locked by difficulty as they are extra tools to handle said difficulty

[dense needle]

classic mode is for two kinds of people:
players of casual games
blind playthroughers

[agile latch]

(off course we should still suport normal mode, but janding over expert entirely only due to it is a bit guh)

[agile latch]

ye

• with the dificulty selector you can always go back, change the dificulty temporarely and grab the item you want

if you reallly desire it

its not like before that you need to do a full new world

or some other more annoying thing

[strong isle]

Yep

[agile latch]

• it also helps a lot with replayability

having cool new gear is as much fun as having new boss movements if you go from normal to expert

(and all the other expert changes)

[lapis oak]

omg I'm playing a game like that right now and it's annoying me to no end

currently going out my way to fix this glorpshit 😭

[fathom girder]

and it draws people towards improving as players

thereby improving the overall skill level of everyone who wants to try for the cool stuff

Good way to foster a community if done correctly

[boreal pewter]

Whenever I can upload it

[fathom girder]

Woahcase

[tropic jolt]

you should upload it rn!

[boreal pewter]

dont have nitro, I have to compress it lul

[fathom girder]

Could always do what doze does

and spend like 4 hours setting up youtube stuff

[tropic jolt]

somebody gift this man nitro

[agile latch]

death mode only content

[vivid hemlock]

[boreal edge]

Freeconvert my goat

[vivid hemlock]

[lapis oak]

[boreal pewter]

I might honestly put it on youtube so I can actually share it lol

[lapis oak]

[boreal pewter]

I compressed it and the quality is janded as expected

[fathom girder]

many such cases

[lyric trellis]

Thanks Levi

2/3 of Death’s exclusive items btw

[lapis oak]

[fathom girder]

I miss levi

poor soul became an elden ring youtuber

[tropic jolt]

I can think of many things worse than that

[fathom girder]

Elden ring sucks don't @ me

[tropic jolt]

I am now going to attack your character based on your publicly available personal interests

[dusk bronze]

[fathom girder]

I will proceed to be cancelled for comments I made in 2012 in regards to a fem wario image

[lapis oak]

[white aurora]

[fathom girder]

[vivid hemlock]

how much are we gonna bet that this is a xyk weapon video

like maybe uhmmm 3 dollar

[cobalt wharf]

[lapis oak]

he did bosses

and accessories

[cobalt wharf]

umm scal brothers are not internally considered bosses 🙄

[agile latch]

enemies too

stormlion

[lapis oak]

DoG

[agile latch]

(were they posted as spoilers?)

and ye DoG visuals

[fathom girder]

The uh

[vivid hemlock]

stormlion was posted

[fathom girder]

stormlion grabbing the terrarian yes

[vivid hemlock]

just without sprites

[fathom girder]

and launching him

[vivid hemlock]

well it was specifically the sentinel so idk if it was fryzahh or xyk who did that

[agile latch]

i mean

the sentry

(the one that shoots, not the one that walks..)

[lapis oak]

nope

[lyric trellis]

2 minute spoiler of stormlion sentry incoming

[vivid hemlock]

yeah we havent seen the sentry

😢

[fathom girder]

ah yes

5 hour showcase of stormlion sentry

[lapis oak]

280MB is like

1 minute

[lyric trellis]

Nature documentary on the life of stormlions

[fathom girder]

and of their predator

Desert scourge

[teal bone]

[agile latch]

its actually for the new weapon

hyper star shooter Ex

[vivid hemlock]

of course

[boreal pewter]

I also have to ready the spoiler post text and thumbnail ye

[lapis oak]

no way it's actually named hyper star shooter ex

[lyric trellis]

The text right below saying the length is 2:02:

[fathom girder]

It's omega star shooter dex

[lapis oak]

oh I didn't see it oops

[vivid hemlock]

ultra star artillery deluxe

[agile latch]

i want to be evil and make star sputter be hyper star shooter ex..

Omega star shooter ex mk2

[lapis oak]

Star Cannon EX crashout if the name is actually real

[lyric trellis]

“Better than vanilla!”

[fathom girder]

how fabsol coded

[dusk bronze]

do it

do it for the bit

[agile latch]

will..

(it must be revived)

[pliant sparrow]

no fabsol just coded vanilla

lamo

[fathom girder]

huh

No fabsol did not make terraria

[pliant sparrow]

as in

[fathom girder]

[brave star]

Redigit made terraria

[pliant sparrow]

coded in a similar style to what a decompiled version of the game would look like

[fathom girder]

oh

[lyric trellis]

Demon back from hell…

[pliant sparrow]

probably used and referenced decompiled methods and classes for stuff he himself made

[distant raft]

vanilla styled mod huh

[pliant sparrow]

vanilla styled code

[fathom girder]

Just go to thorium bru

[obtuse hawk]

Will the relatively-smoother-hell-generation thing fabsol thought up still be implemented into sso

[fathom girder]

I think it'll be a seperate update

devs have mentioned it a few times before

[obtuse hawk]

Ah

[agile latch]

🥹

did fabsol succeed on making it better (visually and stuff)

[fathom girder]

no

[agile latch]

i do know current star sputter look worse than star shooter

[fathom girder]

I think mechanically the star cannon ex was fancier

[dull heart]

what

[fathom girder]

but Super Star Shooter is a complete powerhouse of a weapon that's more visually sensible and works better

[dull heart]

YouTube takes like 10 minutes to set hp

[brave star]

What if there was Star Cannon NEO

[fathom girder]

well AFTER the whole account setup and whatnot

yeah it takes like 10 minutes

[lapis oak]

no what?

[dusk bronze]

neo is known for its [high ammo consumption]

[lapis oak]

it in SSO

[fathom girder]

I swear they mentioned it was gonna be split into a couple updates

I may be insane

[dull heart]

nigh emmo 'onsumption

[dusk bronze]

it's in sso1

[fathom girder]

i c

[lapis oak]

in SSO

[dusk bronze]

i haven't heard any updates in months tho

even in patreon

@strong isle how's underworld going

[strong isle]

Progress is currently frozen at 6/12 structures

I'm prioritizing Sunken Sea structures

[dusk bronze]

makes sense

[hoary edge]

dope

[dull heart]

I could spoil the er

[fathom girder]

we've had plenty

tbh

[terse dew]

the emergency room

[dusk bronze]

reliops

[dull heart]

Undetermined

It's still in the dev build currently

[fathom girder]

OH SO YOU GUYS WERE ALL GASLIGHTING ME

[dull heart]

but we might undo it

[fathom girder]

It wasn't actually known

smh this is why I only listen to the devs

[dusk bronze]

why would i assume something changed

[dull heart]

until like a week ago it was absolutely included in 2.1 though

[lapis oak]

because it was told to be in SSO

[dusk bronze]

whar

[lapis oak]

what gaslighting?

[dusk bronze]

what happened last week

[dull heart]

it was only about a week ago that I first saw conversation about removing it from SSO and doing a better hell overhaul when we do crags

[fathom girder]

Not a bad idea

imo

[obtuse hawk]

Yea

[dusk bronze]

[lapis oak]

urgent big important SSO meetup

[fathom girder]

It's SSO not SSO and also the hell revamp

it's SSO and the dog rework

[dusk bronze]

and tundra enemy resprites and weapon reworks and

[dull heart]

no

[lapis oak]

it's not SSO and DoG and weapons and difficulties and hell and arsenal

[dull heart]

It's just SSO

Super Stratus Overhaul

[dusk bronze]

true

[dull heart]

I need to go revisit some of the Stratus set and make them better

[dusk bronze]

is it still trapped in asset hell

[dull heart]

yes unless I just design my own starburst

Which I might do

[obtuse hawk]

I like the vibe of the stratus set

[dull heart]

the vibe will be even better with the reworks

[obtuse hawk]

Im still a bit of a space nerd

[lapis oak]

awesome

[dull heart]

Have you seen any of my spoilers for the new reworks

in 2.1

[dusk bronze]

kiri collect the poilers

[obtuse hawk]

I dont regularly check this server

[quiet spade]

https://youtu.be/TIounn_S4qE?si=dt31lm5ApFN6uP3c

[brave star]

When the moon is a pumpkin

If I had that, I’d win part of a pumpkin contest

[dusk bronze]

oh wait there was a list before it just hasn't been used since 2022 💀

[brave star]

[fathom girder]

Goddamn that starmada rework

is peak

[brave star]

Cinema even

[fathom girder]

the moving parts is a cool idea

[lapis oak]

weapon parts actually moving gotta one of the peakest things

[brave star]

Hires Smithy from Mario RPG to turn u into a living weapon

[fathom girder]

It feels REAL

also the sfx is very nice

I love how it sounds

[dusk bronze]

volterion will save ranger's aura singlehandedly

[lapis oak]

Ranger always has aura 😋

literally the favorite child in recent years

[dusk bronze]

as long as the marksman bow still lives it can never truly be peak..

[lapis oak]

don't say it... 🥀

Marksman Bow killed my wife and my kids and my dogs

[dusk bronze]

true

[dull heart]

melee:

[dusk bronze]

melee doesn't count it's the perpetual favorite child

[lapis oak]

nah Ranger got more stuff than Melee post 22

[dull heart]

you haven't seen 2.1

[lapis oak]

alright that doesn't count now u just cheating 💔

I know that already...

[silk terrace]

ok so who's gonna tell them

[lyric trellis]

🤫

[quiet spade]

theres a feature in the mod that you can shimmer the suspicious scrap into mythril bars pre-any hardmode boss, is there going to be any fix about this?

[dull heart]

That's not calamity I don't think

[dusk bronze]

wrong chat also that's not basecal

[lean relic]

This looks like magic storage

[quiet spade]

fr?

[dusk bronze]

almost certainly

[quiet spade]

let me try with base shimmer

[lean relic]

Go tell aquarian

[lapis oak]

🤨 ?

[orchid finch]

Time to put those mad stars to use

[lapis oak]

tell us...

[quiet spade]

works with shimmer

[dusk bronze]

post modlist in #calamity-mod-talk

[silk terrace]

you do know volterion is a rework of thunderstorm right

[quiet spade]

i know this is not mod talk, but because here we talk about things from the future, thats why im asking here if its going to be fixed

[orchid finch]

It's not base Calamity feature

[dusk bronze]

this channel is for future content

[agile latch]

mage weapon..

[dusk bronze]

not bugs and such

[dull heart]

sus scrap isn't craftable or shimmerable in base Calamity

this isn't our problem

[dusk bronze]

[quiet spade]

k

mb

[dusk bronze]

magic guns have ruined my life

[dull heart]

mage pop off

did I ever mention the fact that my chaos stone rework literally came from a dream

Like the entire functionality of it was straight from a dream I had where I reworked it

[agile latch]

isnt that a normal thing

a lot of my creatures designs and plans come from there too

[dull heart]

not for me because I never have dreams

at least that I remember

I've had more recently but 100% of the dreams I've remembered in the last month are dreams loosely tied to whatever show I was binge watching at the time

[shell sapphire]

[dull heart]

it's also not usual for something I work on to be almost exactly the same from conception to end product

[silk terrace]

so what you're telling me is i should add that turtle shell accessory i dreamt about a few months ago

[agile latch]

remind me of the livid dream i had

of xyk reworking monsoon on vc

and it now shot spinning hyper realistic images of the god poseidon

and had a right click that summoned a big shark that bited around your cursor

[dull heart]

I feel like I remember hearing about this but do not remember what it is but yes

[misty wren]

turtle shell accessory that spawns a turtle irl

[rare tinsel]

sussy scrap

[silk terrace]

40 defense and builds up 40% move speed/acceleration while moving into a straight line

also counts as a piece of frost armor despite being an accessory

[quiet spade]

toby fox type shi

[misty wren]

sunny what the fuck are your dreams about

[quiet spade]

"yeah i dreamed about a shell"

[misty wren]

how does ones mind envision such a thing

[silk terrace]

cooking

you simply cannot comprehend the level of game design i attain while sleeping

[white aurora]

su

[rare tinsel]

boohoodust~1

[misty wren]

actually wait you? sleeping? arent you like the known insomniac

[silk terrace]

i got better

[misty wren]

oh ok

[quiet spade]

instead of 1 hours of sleep, sunny now sleeps 2

[rose laurel]

Who would win

Rebecca at 4am or Sunny dreaming

[dull heart]

PH YEAH

I REMEMBER NOW

[silk terrace]

both because in the dream rebecca came up with it

[rose laurel]

True, true

[dull heart]

y'know what's really sad

when terraria stops you from making a cool idea work well

[rose laurel]

You know what's sad?

[misty wren]

me when i drop my pizza

[rose laurel]

Me spending 20 minutes at 10 times speed trying to get a single 10% drop in Lobcorp

(I needed 14)

[dull heart]

Seasonal affective disorder

[quiet spade]

[rose laurel]

I don't know what that is

[dull heart]

it's SAD

[rose laurel]

Oh

[misty wren]

when you get predictably sad/depressed because its winter now

[dull heart]

seasonal depression yea

Also I 100% believe it was named for the acronym

Because without the acronym SAD, "seasonal affective disorder" is such a bad name

well it's still technically accurate

[quiet spade]

wait, seasonal affective disorder is a thing?

[dull heart]

Yes

[onyx valve]

Hell yeah Starmada rework

[misty wren]

yeah its been a thing since the 80s

[twin juniper]

Is it just me or Ares arms is moving differently in the new spoiler

[misty wren]

no thats just ares as a whole moving slower

been known for a while that was happening

#suggestions-discussion message

[quiet spade]

ohh

[misty wren]

the binding of isaac

[pearl sentinel]

never played

sentiment remains

[stiff light]

what does it do

[lapis oak]

Bad video game

[stiff light]

probablt

i havent played it

and i only play good games

[stiff light]

only good game is minecraft

[fathom girder]

Minecraft isn't a game it's an experience GOD

[hard copper]

when are they making create mod for calamity?

[fathom girder]

Cool dude + warned role is aura

Warned for being too cool

That pump looks very content with whatever it did

[lean relic]

[pearl sentinel]

i cant get into it rn im too tired

[stiff light]

cuz ur on overwatch

and not playing ramattra

or wifeleaver

[fathom girder]

Many games feel like they don't want you to play them

For example: current d2

Destiny 2

[stiff light]

is it just a grind

[pine ocean]

Very pretty sprites, tho the top of the pumpkin does look a lil funny

[wide wadi]

no way the pumpking

[pine ocean]

I don’t think that’s how pumpkins are shaped

Then again I haven’t seen a pumpkin irl since 2024 so what do I know

Did I even see a pumpkin last year my last year was awful it might’ve been 2023

[fathom girder]

It's a grind with no good end goal and it actively makes things harder the more you grind

There is zero payoff

Zero reward beyond the... admittedly shit journey

[frail owl]

meow

[fathom girder]

At least with warframe I can show off my loki prime that I got before it was much cheaper

With d2 its like.

Yeahhh look at my shitty rose roll I got during the thorn quest that doesn't exist anymore

Wooo

I can show off my mythoclast but its just empty

Anyway copium that the game will be better on the 7th uhhh calamity spoilers

[stiff light]

i did not ask about destiny

[fathom girder]

I am

So very sorry

[brave star]

Is that the cousin of:

[agile latch]

maybe, it do be part of the same set (ignore the fuse for now..) seafoam bomb resprite by diauser (i assume its public already considering that dia always post their sheet and stuff )

pumpkaboom

[fathom girder]

Never seen it before

Fancy looking

Holy leak

Never seen this

[agile latch]

pre boss

pumpkin craft

[summer shore]

Ohok

[lapis oak]

Right because Sea Prism crafts are moved to later

Tier

[agile latch]

sea foam and pumpkin bomb arent related..

(except for the 2 being bombs)

[lapis oak]

[native thistle]

All bombs are cousins

[lapis oak]

I read that wrong my eyes are screwed

I blame Alt for this

[native thistle]

Skill issue

[lyric trellis]

Pumpkin seeds or just pumpkin? Current pumpkin weapons use seeds so it’d be kinda odd otherwise (yes stuffed fish exist)

[summer shore]

Stinkiri can't admit to being wrong

Has to blame other people

[lapis oak]

U a smelly

Pumpkin seeds do be mean post EoC

[wide wadi]

[lapis oak]

(We really don't talk about stuffed fish)

[agile latch]

stuffed fis

[lapis oak]

😡

Fake item

[quiet spade]

i still dont get whats that

[brave star]

It’s a small pumpkin minion from the Harvest Staff

Looks so goober

[quiet spade]

its in the game rn or its coming soon?

[brave star]

It’s ingame

[quiet spade]

oh

i need to check that, casually doing a summ playthrough

[brave star]

Also the pumpkin minions come from the sentry spawn

[brave star]

How convenient

[quiet spade]

nah its a sentry fr?

[brave star]

Yea

Mainly the staff spawns the sentry that spawns goobers as projectile minions

[quiet spade]

dam

[brave star]

Check the wiki for the crafting recipe

[quiet spade]

i think i know what is it

pumkin, seeds and something else

[brave star]

i thought it was something from later on

[stone fiber]

Well I'm not sure about the "far" part, given that the biggest observed blue whale was about 33 meters (it

[stone fiber]

Can't you just buy them from dryad?

[lapis oak]

Dryad is post EoC

[stone fiber]

Yeah but you also said post EoC in your message

[azure oak]

Cool starmada

[wooden geyser]

what would generally be the best class for infernum?

[pseudo vector]

probably melee or mage but also #calamity-addon-talk

[cinder hearth]

There is no general best class

Every class has its ups and downs

[wooden geyser]

well i guess i mean damage based

[cinder hearth]

I'll explain more in #calamity-addon-talk

[halcyon seal]

Starmada retier to post Yharon lets go???

I will take anything to make post yharon more fun on ranger

Also WHAT are those wings

I know ghostar’s infinity eight when I see them and that is no ghostar’s

[cinder hearth]

That starmada is super cool

[pseudo vector]

xyk's vanity wings

[hoary edge]

[tribal isle]

why doesnt yharon just revive faster than 10 years

[high scaffold]

Starmada rework looks really fucking cool

[prisma cipher]

It hasn’t changed

Lol

[frail tapir]

well at least i know

found the starmada rework video actually

[viral merlin]

I wonder if dog slayer armor gets a different set bonus once dog gets refreshed

[dull heart]

not in 2.1

[viral merlin]

Talking about the refresh, not the rework

(The BIG big DoG with distortion and stuff)

[dull heart]

probably

[calm osprey]

Would Yharim be the final boss or are there still bosses after?

[white aurora]

final boss in terms of progression

but there are still noxus and xeroc

[lapis oak]

main final boss

[white aurora]

which i think are pretty much guaranteed since the horse is gone

[calm osprey]

So, it'd be kinda like Wrath of The Gods wherein, the items they give you don't actually progress you forward at all? Convenience items and the like'

[lapis oak]

but like people are gonna be slaying Noxus and Xeroc anyways so

for people that's gonna be Xeroc

[calm osprey]

The horse?

[white aurora]

fabsol

[calm osprey]

Ahhhh

What's the situation on her? No-go conversationally or can I ask questions?

[rich ginkgo]

fabsol is a dude

[white aurora]

scroll up in #server-announcements theres a post by shayy

also yeah

[calm osprey]

Oh I figured Fabsol was like, transgender or something'

[earnest jewel]

The opposite actually.

Transphobic.

[analog helm]

broken heart emoji!!!!

[cinder hearth]

So, he wasn't, his self insert was a woman tho

But the funniest thing is that one of the straws that broke the proverbial camel's back is he was transphobic

[earnest jewel]

But the thing that really got 'em was the child endangerment at best.

[calm osprey]

Damn 😭

I'll miss the Drunk Princess....I get why she got turned to ash, though

It had to be done...

I was mainly gonna ask, so he was against fighting Xeroc and Noxus?

[fringe quiver]

Not really

[earnest jewel]

I don't believe so.

[fringe quiver]

He just set the team back by alot for several reasons

[native thistle]

she should have kicked the bucket a long time ago

[fringe quiver]

Was a highly incompetent and just bad lead dev

[earnest jewel]

But he'd have been the one making the fights. Because he monopolized the boss fights.

[fringe quiver]

He monopolized the boss fights while also making all of the bosses edited vanilla code

Also he made executive decisions without discussions from other devs

also he shut down any ideas he didnt like...

[cinder hearth]

Well, from what I understand, the fights were something they'd do after they were done with yharim, if the dev team was still on board with working on the mod

He made the dev environment many times more toxic

[fringe quiver]

Cool bug factoids

One of the reasons why SSO has so many damn weapon reworks was because, iirc

Developers would want to work on other things > Fabsol goes "nuh uh" > Guess i'll do a weapon rework instead

[calm osprey]

Ah, I see! So, y'think his ejection from the team is gonna improve the developing environment?

[earnest jewel]

Immensely.

[cinder hearth]

It already has

[calm osprey]

yayy

[fringe quiver]

It already has massively yeah

[calm osprey]

Can't wait to see what the devs come out with next

[earnest jewel]

Await basically every boss being made good.

[twin juniper]

And then we got DoG refresh 🪅

[stone zephyr]

many people gained more passion and motivation for the mod when he left

[white aurora]

the devs can actually touch the boss design now

[fringe quiver]

SSO went from being barely worked on to having huge amounts of progress on it and possibly coming out this year ever since he left

[earnest jewel]

Starting with the first bosses added that are still in the mod, DoG and Desert Scourge. And DoG isn't even in his final form.

[calm osprey]

Hopefully the Skeletron bug can get fixed now

[fringe quiver]

my beloved lizard

[cinder hearth]

Not even just for toxicity, either!

Coding wise, his was a mess very often: I hear doze could barely even understand the DOG AI code when he took a look at it for the rework planned for next update

[twin juniper]

Polterghast too I think

[earnest jewel]

The dialogue about doing the coding drunk may not have been a joke.

[calm osprey]

So for now, the focus is on improving bosses over adding new ones?

[stone zephyr]

yep!

[fringe quiver]

There won't be anymore bosses besides Yharim, Xeroc and Noxus

[earnest jewel]

Improving literally everything before the last three bosses.

[calm osprey]

Wowie Zowie

[fringe quiver]

^ It's this yeah

The focus is on just reworking everything that's old and decrepit and bringing the mod up to modern quality standards before adding the Yhar

Biomes, enemies, bosses, etc

[stone zephyr]

its exciting because a lot of stuff is outdated

[calm osprey]

[cinder hearth]

In general, yeah. New bosses are probably not gonna be added until the ones already in the game are up to standards

But they're not gonna focus entirely on the bosses, there's plenty of biomes to change, stuff to add, and they even want to change the entire section of post Moonlord eventually so that it's less of a boss rush

[stone zephyr]

very especially yharon sprite hehe

thats been worked on a ton

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/711268703991365642/1422291318633271336/yharon_resprite_lore_by_seuearth.gif

[cinder hearth]

Embed fail

[native thistle]

basically, since he left, everything that the devs wanted to work on, can be worked on without much resistance

[fringe quiver]

post moon lord enemies

🩷

[earnest jewel]

Two new dimensions to add, one of which is gonna be a fully explorable world in its own right if I remember right.

[calm osprey]

DIMENSIONS RAAAAARRRGGHHH

[cinder hearth]

Yeah the distortion will be that iirc

[fringe quiver]

Yeah the distortion will be a fully explorable dimension with its own biomes, resources, enemies, etc

[cinder hearth]

And then there's the dragon aerie

[fringe quiver]

Basically like the nether from minecraft

The Dragon Aerie on the other hand will probably be less of that

And more of just a climatic final area for the yharim fight

[cinder hearth]

Which I believe will be more like a glorified arena for yharim and such, maybe with some other cool stuff

[calm osprey]

I hope the Dragon Aerie at least has a few critters to put in nets

[pseudo vector]

that and the distortion will make us finally able to do away with having to do the hardmode moon events again

[fringe quiver]

yeah a few ambient critters for the aerie would make sense i think

[pseudo vector]

no more super frost moon or super pumpkin moon

[cinder hearth]

YOOO

[wide wadi]

I like the frost moon

[twin juniper]

imagining Minecraft the end dimension but with more purple rn

[calm osprey]

One of my biggest disappointments with the Wrath of Gods mod is that they have these weird interesting creatures in that one dimension, but I CANT CATCH THEM IN AN ET?????????????

[fringe quiver]

Also gives space to actually add unique post ml events

[earnest jewel]

The thing about the Dragon's Aeire is what exactly would be there to catch?

[fringe quiver]

Given Acid Rain tier 3 is the only one currently

I mean

[earnest jewel]

Distortion can have screwed up hive mind bugs.

[wide wadi]

So a boring land with nothing in it

[fringe quiver]

currently T3 Acid Rain is

[wide wadi]

[calm osprey]

That depends

[twin juniper]

But more purple

[calm osprey]

WHat is the Dragon's Aeire, exactly?

[fringe quiver]

Literally just t2 but with one new enemie

[calm osprey]

[native thistle]

birds

[fringe quiver]

BUt futurely it'll be actually cool thanks to triangle

[earnest jewel]

Where the dragons came back from the dead.

[fringe quiver]

god bless triangle's acid rain rework

[calm osprey]

Oh simple

Tiny dragons

[fringe quiver]

hidden sky island where the dragons lived

[earnest jewel]

Can't.

The dragons are dead (sans Yharon).

[fringe quiver]

the dragons are kinda dead yeah thats like a major plot point

maybe we can have little lizards

[calm osprey]

Why are the dragons dead

[earnest jewel]

Killed.

[cinder hearth]

One trillion gamma slimes

[fringe quiver]

they got killed

it's a long story

[cinder hearth]

Come to #lore-discussion

[earnest jewel]

That's my line.

[native thistle]

hunted to extinction

[twin juniper]

Imagine distortion minibosses

[fringe quiver]

Read My Lore :answermymessages:

[fringe quiver]

thankfully it will be saved

eventually

actual acid rain t3 enemy variety amen

[pearl sentinel]

find my pages

when is the acid rain stuff coming

not sso right

[fringe quiver]

yeah not sso

[pearl sentinel]

i would say sso is just the sunken sea stuff but erm !

seems to be quite a lot

[wide wadi]

No only if you include yharium

Other then that’s it’s just a bunch of reworks and boss changes

[pearl sentinel]

tf is yharium...

[earnest jewel]

Yharim Bars.

[wide wadi]

I think it’s the wither skeleton

[vast tendon]

I’m RAMming out

[wide wadi]

How much ram does your pc have

[vast tendon]

So much

I just downloaded some more

[arctic patrol]

so another ultrakill reference?

wild starmada

[thorny fjord]

huh?

[dusk bronze]

isn't it a RAM reference or something

[thorny fjord]

yes

says so in the announcement too

[lapis oak]

Ultrakill invents everything

[distant raft]

did you know? hitting your own projectiles to boost them was invented by Mr. Ultik "Version One" Illin

[dusk bronze]

guy who's only played ultrakill:
uh idk someone else do the joke for me

[fathom girder]

ultrakill players when they see blood

[grand sandal]

ultrakill players when they see someone toss a coin

[azure oak]

fun fact: hakita invented blood

[uneven fractal]

how generous of him

to give v1 something to run on

[boreal edge]

Ultrakill fans rushing to their keyboards to tell the streamer that just picked up the shotgun on their first playthrough that they can parry their own projectiles

[lapis oak]

I watched that happen with my own eyes

[steel bay]

how tf do i get the wayfinder

[dull heart]

#calamity-addon-talk , that's infernum

[agile latch]

It wont be with the resprite i think

Or well hopefully the armor rework come first

It isnt tied to DoG

Its a cosmilite craft

[earnest jewel]

Dog slayer? That's messed up, what did dogs do to you?

[viral merlin]

fair

Just thought it could come with dog refresh because you know
might take something from the refreshed dog

[buoyant pulsar]

make it so when a bloodmoon happens the sun goes behind the earth like a real lunar eclipse

[agile latch]

Wont really

Godslayer is more distortion in general than DoG

[agile latch]

True

Technically isnt wrong since you need to slay dog to get it

[viral merlin]

hrm

Would be kinda cool if set bonus made a rip in the space that'd spawn distortion stuff in to damage things in that case

but it wont be that probably

[buoyant pulsar]

I LOVE RAM ‼️

[analog helm]

ramb,..,.,.,.,,.

[fathom spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/asgore-undertale-deltarune-gif-8006577193793263180

[buoyant pulsar]

sso is gonna be so

[buoyant pulsar]

nope‼️

[brave star]

What boss do you think could give Slime God the (maybe) placement in hardmode while keeping Cal Clone in the same spot if it’s possible

(It definitely can’t be post moon lord)

[pearl sentinel]

it would have to be a swap

early hardmode is so bloated

[earnest jewel]

Other than Clone, Aquatic Scourge.

[pearl sentinel]

disagree

[earnest jewel]

Dragonfolly, to give Slime God a position worthy of a god.

[pearl sentinel]

folly and evils 2 are already swapping and they said not post moon lord

[earnest jewel]

Dragonfolly technically can be fought pre-Moon Lord.

Only needs Solar Fragments.

[modern jolt]

If it was going to be anything, I feel like Brimmy since there’s already a few things you could associate with Crags

[earnest jewel]

Brimstone Elemental is supposed to be tough, even in its implied weakened state.

[brave star]

Maybe she could be rematched in hardmode but the progression swap would be in the First Encounter if possible

[modern jolt]

Even for CalClone, I think of Crags

[earnest jewel]

Clone doesn't really have anything to do with the Brimstone Crags.

[vivid hemlock]

the only connection is like

shes a clone of cal

and cal is from the crags and has brimstone magic but thats a pretty weak link

[brave star]

Cal clone is mostly linked to Draedon

Since he invented the clone

[earnest jewel]

Invented I feel is not the right word choice.

[vivid hemlock]

both clone and brim are being reworked one day anyways so brimmy being a weak target dummy that occasionally has a laser wont be the actual fight

[earnest jewel]

Hopefully to feel like something that could have once destroyed nations.

[modern jolt]

tbf, all the elementals could really do for reworks in that vein imo

[valid crypt]

They plan that
Biblical angel cloud

[brave star]

Long ago, there was a world called earth and everything was neat

UNTIL THE FIRE NATION ATTACKED

[vivid hemlock]

gladfully literally every enemy and most bosses are guaranteed to be getting reworked in the future

[modern jolt]

I saw someone the other day talking about Anahita for example, it has essentially 0 presence as an elemental outside of aura farming in the ocean

[brave star]

Anahita thinks she can aura farm like the Frauding Knight

[dusk bronze]

aura frame

[brave star]

They do be catching the aura of frames ngl

[pearl sentinel]

rory nite

[dull heart]

i mean currently it does take God Slayer Dash which is expressly DoG themed

but yeah it doesn't need to be DoG themed in specific

[tropic jolt]

that starmada rework is pretty cool

[brave star]

Agreed

What if starmageddon makes the world rain stars endlessly

[inner timber]

weapon that aura farms so hard it causes a meteor shower

[buoyant pulsar]

red sun if it locked in

[inner timber]

truth and real

[hoary edge]

star shotgun 🙂

[buoyant pulsar]

i wish red sun was true melee and made huge meteors fall from the sky

[inner timber]

thats what earth is for

to be hot cheeks

[buoyant pulsar]

imagine if it like made the background red while u used it

like if the meteors accelerated over time and the background turned like the solar pillar but red

[agile latch]

That is already planned to change

With the dash being moved to core

[dull heart]

yea

[teal bone]

earthimus maximus

[dull heart]

honestly i'd love to do that this update

but then we need GS armor to have a new set bonus

[inner timber]

devs please give earth its immortality lifesteal back

[inner timber]

🤔

parry.....

[lyric trellis]

Welcome back Mechworm set bonus

[agile latch]

No..

[inner timber]

[agile latch]

And also silva due to the switch up

And other stuff

Its better for later

And i think xyk plans to do it

[hoary edge]

if possible, imagine 2 mechworms 🙂
first the armor set itself and second the summon

[buoyant pulsar]

okay to be fair there are like 60 'make meteor fall from sky' true melee swords

[inner timber]

i should become pink

i have become pink

[lyric trellis]

Still white on my screen I fear

[inner timber]

nuh uh

[buoyant pulsar]

i have a dream that one day red sun will be like super cool

[inner timber]

it will never be as cool as my glorious profaned soul crystal

[still bluff]

Imagine being pink

[inner timber]

quiet mint user

[teal bone]

[inner timber]

we need MORE meteor sky swords

[teal bone]

one will be quite clearly the coolest once sso comes out

[pulsar cobalt]

just give it nebulous core duh

[buoyant pulsar]

permission to yap about my red sun rework headcanon, completely just for fun

[inner timber]

scratches head

[dull heart]

GS armor having worse silva revive would be

really funny

well i guess it could be used multiple times in one fight

[inner timber]

i cant even call it a worse silva revive they're too different

[dull heart]

so not neccessarily worse

[inner timber]

its like a sidegrade really leaning on worse

[pulsar cobalt]

i mean no silva revive is just

objectively better

[inner timber]

5 minute cooldown

[dull heart]

5 minute cooldown that doesn't go down when a boss is alive*

Silva is once per boss fight, but crazy strong the one time it happens

[inner timber]

its like normality vs rod

[dull heart]

neb core can happen a couple times per fight

[hoary edge]

plot armormaxxing

silva armor + nebuleous core

[inner timber]

• permafrost concoction

what order do revives trigger in

[pulsar cobalt]

cant forget silva wings to buff silva revive even more

when it didnt even need it

[inner timber]

what if instead of godslayer dash it got godslayer determination and when you would die you get set to 1 hp and cant die for 8 seconds with a 5 minute cooldown . and when the revive triggers you'd say a god never dies .

[inner timber]

makes sense that perma would be last

crow typing for 5000 years

[valid crypt]

Ok silva

[pulsar cobalt]

wat if nebulous core was like p2 dog

by that i mean

the beginning entrance sequence of it

[lapis oak]

what if p2 dog was 2 dogs

[inner timber]

what if p2 dog needed a second controller

[pulsar cobalt]

just heading to the distortion and then popping out afterwards

[inner timber]

we come out like more dead than when we went in

[agile latch]

There is already a

Rework plan for nebuleus

For the revive i mean

Its basically noxus bringing you back to life

But there is consequences

(You come back crippled and distorted)

[hasty tangle]

planned along with the distortion?

or prior

[agile latch]

Prior

Comes together with GS armor i would expect

[valid crypt]

For what

[agile latch]

Core is basically noxus blessing

[buoyant pulsar]

red sun rework headcanon

• directional true melee
• landing hits slowly begins to turn the background red (like solar pillar). high velocity meteors slowly begin raining all across the screen and in the background which explode on contact with tiles and enemies. continuing to land hits accelerates the volume of meteors.
• right click resets the meteor acceleration with a red flash, executing a blade dash whose damage scales with how much the meteors were accelerated.

[valid crypt]

Oh wait

Neb core

[vivid hemlock]

[modern jolt]

I have been wondering about Noxus

[valid crypt]

WHY IS THAT BEING USED HERE UNPROMPTED

[modern jolt]

Xeroc, I knew about for a long time, and there are mentions of him, albeit vague, with some items referencing him, Yharim's dialogue, and even him talking to you

I cannot think of quite literally a single word that even acknowledges the existence of Noxus other than the fact that the devs have stated he exists

I'm curious if he will have more presence eventually?

[valid crypt]

Yeah noxus is not name dropped in the game

[valid crypt]

Yes

[vivid hemlock]

noxus is only implied ingame rn

[valid crypt]

Vaguely

[modern jolt]

Idek where he's implied to exist

[agile latch]

He will

When distortion get real

(He is william distortion)

[vivid hemlock]

whether its ceaseless with the "blank" bestiary

[agile latch]

Very few characters and stuff know of noxus existence

That why he is barely mentioned

[modern jolt]

That's fair

[vivid hemlock]

or yharim saying that he thinks theres something deeper to the distortion

[modern jolt]

tbf Noxus being so enigmatic is really sick

[valid crypt]

Noxus is john mystery

[agile latch]

I think only xeroc, sort of yharim, sort of draedon, signus and DoG know of noxus

[modern jolt]

In the grand scheme of Calamity's lore, who has a more overwhelming impact on the world: Noxus or Xeroc?

[hard copper]

Yeah draetalk also hints at noxus iirc

[distant raft]

xeroc probably

[tropic jolt]

almost definitely xeroc

[agile latch]

Well

[tropic jolt]

xeroc johnson

[distant raft]

noxus' impact:
dog
storm weaver
signus

[pulsar cobalt]

noxus has dog

meanwhile

xeroc is xeroc

[distant raft]

xeroc's impact:
the end of the draconic era

[agile latch]

If you count distortion as a whole

Sadly the goverment wont allow me to speak

[pulsar cobalt]

mm

yeah

[valid crypt]

👁️

[agile latch]

That was moon lord and dogma mostly

But xeroc was a kickstarter

[inner timber]

if we gave ceaseless sentience would it know

[visual inlet]

Sunken sea overhaul ~2 weeks

[pulsar cobalt]

xeroc is the hammer of a gun

dogma the bullet

[lyric trellis]

I imagine Noxus will have a bigger impact in the actual game with Distortion but Xeroc is lore god

[modern jolt]

I know that Xeroc consumed Zeratros's soul, which would mean his ascension came from like the strongest auric soul you could get, but on the otherhand, it sounds like Noxus already just was a god long before Xeroc

[agile latch]

August september sunken sea update

[distant raft]

noxus isnt a god

well probably isnt

[agile latch]

He isnt

[vivid hemlock]

noxus is just a really strong guy

[modern jolt]

He wouldn't be considered a god, huh

[inner timber]

i feel noxus is just . a being

[agile latch]

Amidias redesign.. would the image be updated for it

[distant raft]

who knows noxus couldve made a dragon and absorbed its soul

[inner timber]

would it be an auric soul tho

non auric dragons exist

[distant raft]

couldve stolen a dragon idk

[agile latch]

Noxus consumed duke fishron soul..

[inner timber]

noxus consumed old duke soul

[valid crypt]

Noxus ate frost

[vivid hemlock]

kinda like moon lord in that way theyre both alien creatures that are extremely powerful

signus is still a strong guy

[pulsar cobalt]

its just screaming at you

[valid crypt]

True

[agile latch]

He isnt a fighter

But in terms of influence and the type of creature he is on distortion, he is close to noxus

[valid crypt]

Not to the same level as fucking
Noxus and fovos

[vivid hemlock]

its just that competition is way way higher

okay

[agile latch]

(He dont serve or work for noxus)

I know it's kind of been established now that they're not really "Sentinels" anymore, but of the 3, Signus is def the one that excites me most

well yeah with the context of the top tiers the rest arent gonna seem strong smh

[vivid hemlock]

Unironically, Signus has the same aura to me as like Exos and Calamitas
