weaver is weaver
i would imagine weaver is also intelligent
I dont know what point you sre trying to prove
ehhhh
we will get more lore on weaver one day
but for now all we can definitely say is that weaver is weaver
Extra dimensional portal vs weaver vs space devil
can doze be in charge of weaver lore
Does doze even care for lore
was this just a really old iteration then..... #calamity-update-talk message
I'd figure to be a Calamity dev you must care for the lore to some degree
he's becoming a skong reference
he learnt quite a surprising amount since hes become a dev
so ig a bit
not exactly
:devplans:
Not really, he just isnt that purple when not
Turbo compressed
okay so it was compression
skong

What who's becoming an Arkveld reference?
Weaver
so is clam more bluish purple
(And also beloved railgun dragon)
Wait what the peak

The creature
can amidias give birth as an attack
Ban Incattus.
this is like the crucifixion of christ
for real this time?
(Vote not fully finished but really big majority aprove of it)
So ye
nice
the more you lot deny it the closer to reality it becomes
BWAA
Only change tbf is that
still uhh
Let me check how many times votes take..
You said smth about an expert item that was like a sack that held loose items like dirt, clay, silt, etc.?
sand bag
scoog bag
desert scourge sand bag
How big is the variety of items it can hold?
get it right DUMMIES
shut up tsuki
mark my words, i will animate this
i dont care about your opinion tsuki
anything thats being considered a common ground block apparently
it converts those items into sand
Even if all 15 vote agaisnt it still passed
Oh my goodness
Scourge sand bag
its essentially a very early void bag but specifically for stone n dirt n stuff
We getting Minecraft bundles except they're not pandering and actually have a use
speaking of
Void bag but it only works for natural tiles and can grant you sand
minecraft players yearn for terraria
make sure this gets priority over void bag when you have both in inventory
Does cal expert items dont have it currently?
Like for example flame licked shell
no but its not hard to apply i dont think
rarities are just whatever rarity other equipment at the tier are
not rainbow
sadly
mhm
finally....
i love the terraria dev items having the same rarity as pillar items
Cal dev items having the highest rarity tier..
society
mauve rarity when
Terradle knowledge
dev items, monoliths, universal pylon, apparently echo chamber
luminite itself is red but if you turn them into bricks it goes down a rarity
They should add Dante from the Devil May Cry series to Calamity.
peak design
the cement ruins the craftsmanship
a luminite brick. all craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. this object uhhh
It's available as long as the bag is in your inventory
is it of the highest craftdwarfship?
It's not of any craftsmanship
dwarf fortress siege update tomorrow
This will fix me in a playthrough
game changing item
inventory changing item
who the fuck is dogma?
The guy who tried to make Yharim God-King.
Currently he's the Hive Mind, well most of it.
triangle's statement implies he had a lot to do with... the end of the draconic age?
dragons dogma lmao
Considering that Hive Mind / Perforators are supposed to be gods, it is cool to imagine them being post-ML
Really makes them feel a lot more impactful gven that ML himself is kind of fucking crazy
moon lord is a crackhead
he was one of the main figures of the god council
and also one of the figures who spread the most the entire god thing
Considering full power Fovos was strong enough to nearly squad wipe the dragons, where would that place him strength-wise relative to figures like Xeroc and Yharim?
(i also have an ideia, not fully confirmed by the goverment, that he was the first god to imperfectly ascend, doing the same ritual he saw xeroc do but without the terminus, then he spread the knowledge of it to people who he trusted and saw potential)
fulll power moonlord would likely be
noxus tier?
yharim tier
triangle
what the fuck are you on about
prime moonlord has been consistently put above noxus lmfao
powerscaling 💔
no this has just been stated in the lore discussion channel like a hundred times
does prime moon lord speedblitz!!!!
was prime moonlord implemented in an addon by lucille
thats what i thought
put it below noxus..,
I would love to see what a prime ML looked like
no. never
its not rare its just a dying species
I mean, I love powerscaling
My whole own entire fucking lore is basically powerscaling circlejerk aura farming
Terraria, also, is a game largely about powerscaling to some degree
So yeah, I love it
True.
Nature is healing
splendid
sentenced to closing a door with a window open
-# triangle when accidentally leaks lore again 
Prime ML loses to SpongeBob so does it even matter
lets hope it dies faster
Hello tyrannical pumpking
Is Invoked Stargod one of them?
Or mere mortal worms?
It's from Invoked Stargod.
Does anyone have the Invoked Stargod gif by hand
Nobody in modern Calamity canon is beating practically anybody from Spongebob
im sure doze does
hey whatever you have to say about storm weaver
you gotta give em an attack thats just a blue jet
Xeroc can dry out Spongebob.
Calamitas can burn up the ocean, which beats Spongebob.
Yharim has no counter to Spongebob. Stalemate.
ELECTRICITY???
Makes sense, The Sponge is a really OP accessory
Yharim doesn't have electric powers.
Water + Electricity
What more if your whole build is The Sponge
Auric Armor
Auric Tesla only does that on contact.
counterpoint: he doesn't need the ocean
he can just tap him
But without the ocean he dries up.
also she incinerated something the size of two and a half portugals
Slice him into pieces
Sponges can be sliced in half
i genuinely think she would die of old age before she could scorch the earth's oceans
this also assumes that she destroys the water
vs just boiling it
Hold on
if she only boiled it then even a thousand calamiti couldnt do it
Okay perhaps, but you know what would get the job done real fast? The primordial light of the sun
Dry sponges are easy to burn, all it takes is 1 spark
because the water just gathers in the clouds
ANYHOW
and comes right back down
Forget the ocean, the whole damn planet is getting burnt up then
rain that comes back down on the world, rain world
DoG would eat spongebob
It is not
what
Thank you
Yeah like, wtf is this even
is this a test for some kind of crazy mod boss or smth?
all I know is it's peak
(it was part of a test to see how long one could make a worm boss.)
((theres a worse image where the stargod covers the whole fucking map))
did you ever figure out how it was done?
I have made a worm boss much longer than this one
1.3 invoked starmod is lost media
Also why does this segment sprite look so sigma
mod that increases the npc limit ig
impossible to do btw
This image I just sent is one noc
the limits on stuff is hardcoded
yeahhhh there it is
How much does this lag the game

Oh interesting
I assume also this probably didn't have any attacks or any actual behavior other than moving around
god my stargod is so fucking invoked rn
no it has attacks
Wtf, and it really still only drops to 30?
And a theme
Why does this go hard
he is larg
Man I still think he should like, coil around in space building up tension before actually consuming the sun
but that sounds like hell to animate
cronch
snas
dog laser wall inspiration?
no
no its the strongest attack
anyway this is not one of the 4 worms I assigned myself to today
however 3 of them are NPCs
DS shreds Spongebob to pieces
Crabulon same thing
Perforators need to change their attack strategy
Hive Mind has no chances as sponges can't be poisoned
SG, no chance
Cryogen, might freeze Spongebob and tear him to death
AS, same thing for DS
Spongebob would already be dead in the Brimstone Crag, burned to a crisp
CalClone burns him
Leviathan eats him
Astrum Aureus, spawns can explode Spongebob
PBG, nuclear barrage, duh
Ravager, incineration
Deus, no chances really
Profaned Bosses incinerate him
Folly either shreds him to death or electrocution
SW and Signus tear Spongebob
CV, well Spongebob is probably dead
Polter, no chances
OD, no chances
DoG devours him whole
Yharon burns him to a crisp
SCal too burns him to a crisp
For Exos, what would not obliterate Spongebob
Yharim, idk ofc
doze when will you add the Gaster Blaster to calamity
those are already in calamity though

Alright hold on, I'm gonna need a check on something here
Tf you mean Spongebob gets electrocuted
You can't electrocute sponge
Water + Electricity
Afaik Spongebob can't get rid of the absorbed water himself
spongebob is like outerversal++ or whatever bullshit powerscalers say
Spongebob ain’t reading allat considering he has Toon Force
Okay but Yharim has the Yharmy
He has also consumed the entire ocean of Earth in little time
There’s probably far more ridiculous bullcrap he’s done, but I’m not read up on it or anything
Electrocution weakness go brrrrr
supposedly
no way, spongebob plays ftl?
Spongebob is the secret 4th member of Team Rocket
Spongebob plays Starbound 💔
Does he play edge of space
according to powerscaler logic kids playing laser tag are massively faster than light
what has been added to the game from the spoilers so far? time range*** sorry i just havent played in a super long time, maybe since this January
the only major changes since then was the removal of Fabsol dedicated content and reworking butcher/elemental blaster into Buzzkill and Superradiant Slaughterer
the big 2.1 update is still in development
okok thanks alot
SSO soonish.
how do dare you compare ⬛ to ⬛
invoked stargod has soul though
Good attack
what was the last spoiler y'all got again
spoller
spol
in terms of anything new its probably just starmada
sand sack was a while ago
the bag has been known for a bit
like months
Oh my ass is not with the program, ok ignore me bro mb
nah its fine its kinda hard to keep up with everything
spoiler
gasp
pumpbomb
reminds me of infernum deus
clues when the update will start
blud really destroy the sun
ye

sopiler
Second spoiler is that
This weapon will be upgraded with spooky wood (said upgrade will be a fully redesigned, reworked penumbra too)
frost moon is also getting something
After 400 years,,,
after 3000 years...
christmas tree sword is getting re-tiered to post scal (but only if the date is dec 25th)
you can trust me I'm totally a dev guys

i was there gandalf, i was there 3000 years ago
if holiday halberd was so good then why isn't there a-
Man can we make it three potions please 
My fishing setup will be infinitely (
) grateful for that

most expert items will stay with the existing psudo-experts we have
almost every boss has a guaranteed drop that we can just swoop over to be an expert
some may change when we get to redesigning the fight (like dynamo stem cells or the evil2 drops)
but for now it's just making their Expert-equivanlent drop actually expert
iirc evil2 and dragonfolly will swap their point of progression right?
what will happen to aerialite as in what will need to be done to get aerialite
the bird unlocks the air ore
🐦
Most of them aren’t even changed also so it’s also just going back to what they were before the expert item removal
yea
Like, Mutated Truffle is now OD scales and Abaddon is now Flame-licked shell
But otherwise I imagine it’s the same stuff
Calclone still gonna guarantee Void of Calamity 💔
🐟
small update
cool 
Damn there's 6 rows now
the fated extension, it is approaching
also I see daawnlight spirit origin there
Ngl I read void eater as void enter
its funny that theres a full line that got reworked and isnt here yet
(branch but practically ready)
What line...

Is it stratus
if it's not in the changelogs, then it's not on the image
Obviously Zenith rework.
What do you mean dq...
aegis nerf or occult crown upscale
Statis sash upscale
so is it just starmada that's gonna get reworked or is starfleet gonna get spiced up a bit as well
where starmada
show me starmada in the changelogs
dumb rule
it is my chart and i get to choose the rules
none of the guesses are true
crystalline line 
im gonna say its false even if you guess the right one by the
by the what
way
Why is their daedric armor yellow
Surely it's leather armor 
what the hell is up with those dog drop names bro
i mean its cool
but those are really damn long names
hyperdeath rift scepter is a hard ass name 🙂
they're intentionally over-the-top
holy shit calamity players eating good next update
I think it fits because dog would actually make these weapon names himself
They’re just a combination of vaguely cool sounding words
Its been in development for
Over
A year
agreed
Aren't they all named after his attacks?
dog is edgy as all hell
it does sound like he named the weapons himself
still better than superradiant slaughterer
no
gap between most recent major update and SSO is the longest now
NOW THERE IS NO WORLD WHERE IM DISSING SUPERRADIANT
Superradiant slaughterer is peak
true 
Calamity mod. just a year a way. Calamity mod. In a year. Oh wow
SSO tomorrow. For real this time.

Now it's the Senator Special, obviously.

the new names are all very swagular and awesome
No
ExcelSUS
You will be a sacrifice for SSO tomorrow

Adobe Excel
Yeah
may excel sus rest in peace
surprised kiri hasn't shown up to post the gif yet
will there ever be desert scourge phonk sigh...
“Void Eater Marionette” ????
yup
yea
Do we know the tooltip of hyperdeath rift sceptre
i do
Will you say it
Certainly a hell of a name……
Tasty word soup
Triactis true paladinian mage hammer of might
nanoblack reaper
it's meant to be edgy
In the words of a certain DoG, "Delicious..."
because it's DoG
No I know that’s why I get the others but
Void
Eater
Marionette
Is total word soup
Puppet which eats nothing
Guy who famously eats gods drops a puppet(??) that eats nothing(??)
It’s really the Marionette part
Well tbf he spawns "puppets" while fighting him
and also him eating "nothing" could be construed as the essence turning into nothing one he consumes it
because you're controlling it like a puppet
Noo its so evil :( leave my baby
He is literally not gonna do that next update
It’s an eater from the void… ig
Marionette
You can probably find a better word
Unless you literally directly control it
But even then
no it makes sense and I will not elaborate right now
i actually don't know how much of that name I can explain without stepping on toes for the lore team's spoilers
of all the names that one is the most relevant to things beyond just sound cool and describe the item function
What stopping you from leaking everything
Looks at you really sceptically
rogue dev
no
classless dev?
i have other things i would spoil firsst
did someone say lore
wha
Lore? In my spoiler talk? Impossible!
Souls game ass lore
"I um it's there it uh it makes sense no i can't tell you why here's 3 tooltips"
girl who famously uses magic drops a crossbow(??) that shoots arrows(??)
DoG itself kinda puppet
Since
Works for noxus most likely
He's trying to be a [Big Shot]!
What bosses are getting reworked in sso part 1? I keep on forgetting.
The gay bosses
Braelor and Statis aren't bosses!
Desert Scourge is receiving a complete overhaul from the ground up
DoG is receiving a pretty substantial overhaul that has nothing to do with the big resprite
there will also be some miniboss changes too
oh yeah giant clam will be getting a full rework i'm pretty sure
The two oldest bosses still in the game, they were both in version 1.0.
that and some cnidrion changes
Exactly so im not on about em
Cnidrion mention!
Will giant clam be easier i always die as soon as he spawns
ding ding ding
Oh lol
Finally the respect it deserves! 
it's not like 100% saying that
no
Kk ty
his encounter will likely feel more official than it currently does when just encountering it in the wild
Oh ok
Yeah fr
SSO part 1 will likely have a lot of boss and miniboss changes
the largest of which are DS, Cnidron, clam, and DoG
but we're also fixing the Fabsol moments in other bosses
Wouldnt call it some
Its becoming a miniboss too with a entire new fight and stuff
got a rogue dev here
true
some rev+ vanilla fights are recieving some love too
the biggest one for me personally is gonna be brain of cthulhu, mentioned it previously but i'm very excited for it
i made cultist ritual good again does that count
I dont even remember last time I fought BoC
The cultist ritual fight was very enjoyable
but now I've assigned myself to worm heaven, working on 3 whole worm NPCs and a worm projectile
brain and perf are both in a pretty sad state in public release but if we can at least make brain cool i'm gonna be very happy
as much as i like corruption more gameplay wise the vibes are always stronger in the crimson
Will there be a fire/hell worm boss?
no
Ok
I'm unsure the best way to say this, but after learning more of the depths of the earlier convo in addon-talk, I have far more optimism for the future of updates
It sounds like you guys really do have a lot of goated stuff in the works
Ikr? Im excited
That's cool.
Sweet
yes the very cool thing is a worm
DoG resprite im guessing?
nope
Damn
DoG's refresh is already basically done outside of some touch ups
Ohh awesome
the resprite won't be coming until a later update
the rework he's getting in SSO is to make the fight not bad until we get around to making the crazy huge one
no it's not dog related
Alright
Im gonna take my chances 1 more time with giant clam rn
if you're guessing what I'm working on I did say it was a worm
Worm boss?
Scoog
no it's not a boss either
Welcome back, Armored Digger revamp
Im outa guesses lol
One of the metal draedon non boss worms
No man are you serious
this is truing
Can you make a boss where he swings across the screen like you know the layers 3d kinda thing in the foreground
What happened to armored digger fr?
And he swings and it claps the whole world
also scoog is technically not a worm boss anymore, he's a segmented boss with unique ai
Reusing vanilla ai?
isn't that your system you made for worms
Oh
What is Calamity without worms?
Depression
Yes
heartbreaking
Wtf, real?
worms aren't that cool anyways, bring on bosses that have the worm base with segments n stuff but have cool unique designs
A difficult feat
Good work
Does this mean AS is also going to become a sigma multi-segment creature of its own?
no I just made it work like vanilla and now it was good
L take
I will leave a bad review on yelp
The alternative is having your time wasted and an Ancient Vision shoved up your rear
Isn't that FUN
no

Would you consider Sepulchur a worm?
he's a worm with freaky arms
Yes he's a worm
i distinctly remember seeing new sepulcher for the first time ages ago and thinking it was awesome cuz he actually weirded me out
Deconstructor MK2 and 3 remind me of bosses from...
Yeah Sepulchur is metal as fuck
the avalon mod? I think?
I love that weird guy
new as in. current one or is there another sprite coming
It's just one small thing that really adds to the extreme aura of SCal for me
these aren't gonna be called MK1/MK2/MK3 anymore though
Oh ty
Santa MK1
I didnt see armored digger in a while
To be honest, I wish it would just be removed
Fr fr
It's a cool sprite of course, but it's still just a Destroyer mini-boss version
For now
We already have Thanatos for that
who knows what they'll do with it
Idk bro, If they will change him more than Heart already did, I think that would be something else already
Just remove or ship of theseus him
I was. implying that
like, that they would either rework him or at least make him more interesting mechanically
yeah its going to be entirely different
Okay
it's not just a sprite swap
That's good to hear
I feel like that's par for the course by now lul
especially given everyone knows how simple that enemy is
Do you mean the different phases that he would have or do y'all have different plans?
i mean it's be entirely rebuilt
Instead of being Deconstructor Mk1/Mk2/Mk3 the current plan for the names are Burrower/Excavator/Deconstructor
now spoiler just dropped
kiriwhite message
😨 ??? you lurking me?


I dropped another bigger one right after that smh
Doze “worm” zoze
true
Sepulcher is def one of the coolest designs in calamity imo
It’s SO sick
Giant hand crawling worm that definitely doesn’t cause thousands of headaches for lore guys
hazard

And no aspect of its design is physically used for anything 🥀
There’s so much potential there
Only possible to go up I think
instructions unclear sepulcher now can only move upwards
Another 20 billion worms to rework for doze
Sentenced to reworm.
Potential stitched together corpses... maybe workshop that one.
Stitched together DoG corpses
For a little while
someone made like a dozen palette swaps for sepulcher lul
It was fun
what the fuck is a metaphor
(refantazio
does anyone have the gif of volterion firing
What do you mean Sepulcher is obviously DoG from an alternate future where he got painted red and was really into being a goth.
ty
oh this is dope
wait till they realize we're overhauling more than just the sunken sea
also can someone explain what exactly heroic damage is
it's in the future doc
i think
yeah i read it and i don't really understand
Heroic Damage would be basically a tag added to weapons to deal increased damage to bosses
wdym by tag
base modifier to certain weapons that allows them to perform well on bosses while not running into the current issue of a lot of crowd control stuff being insanely op at crowd control
check "is this weapon Heroic Damage?" and then if it is deal more boss damage
so kinda like how flails are extremely good against crowds and struggle a little against bosses?
would it be an invisible tag that makes flails for example deal extra damage to bosses?
yes
okay sure
okay
it would also be used to trigger things like Hide of Deus
like spitballing numbers here lets say +300% damage to bosses specifically so they dont also destroy every crowd control scenario
basically it's just True Melee damage class, but it applies to any damage class and has a natural boss damage buff built-in
so u might have a weapon be like
90 ranged damage
+30% heroic damage
yea
I can't wait for the subworlds to be added to calamity
That will be in a few years.
SSO1 is the big one.
SSO2 is the other stuff. I think thats the Crab Update.
Thank you.
I'm too excited
By the way, how knowledgeable are you on the lore?
me?
Yes, you!
That's good, do you mind talking in lore discussion for a bit?
sure
Thank you.
Will yharim be a boss and if so when?
no information about that
Damnit
whyy do we have to resprite pbg :(((
yes, i estimate 2031 as a non developer
her sprite is literally so fucking awesome
like yes i agree it shouldn't have all those black outlines
but actual design wise its amazing
a resprite doesn't inherently mean a redesign
in this case it does aha
I was about to add I have no idea if we are or aren't redesigning PBG
we HAVE! to replace it cause the design is a bit too on the nose and bland sorry #poopbringer enjooyers
lmao
whar..
if you see any other take on it you begin to relase how much its jjst like
mechanical bee
its not a riviting design at all
but thats what it is........
if i look into our lore doc and its not a mecha bee im banning you for life
man i think pbg should be able to launch her stinger at u like a telegraphed ballista projectile
it is a metal as fuck design, pun not intended
It's a cyborg bee.
and then it dies since bees die if they do that
Completely different, obviously.
might be an interesting desperation move ig 
the oversized ridiculous thrusters are awesome and should stay
isnt this only some of them though
to be fair queen bee launches stingers
10000% agree
And PBG is plague cyborg queen bee
aha it seems to bee a bee but its underwent heavy modifications and such, i wouldnt care so much for it to like
LITERALLY be a bee but with armor plates sorry thats too boring
thats fair
you have to think aobut it a bit more or else youll stay an mid spriter sorry
i just want her to keep the thrusters tbh
and perhaps the color palette, it works really well
we have to seperate it from the vanilla bosses that are just like
the same but mechanical
i like how mean the eyes look, i like how its top is black and it has that bright green underbelly (though i think the biomechanical aspect probably deserves to be expanded on), i like the smoothness of the plates and the way the stinger is shaped + colored, and i love the gigantic thrusters
i think the actual plague tank thing on its back should probably be expanded on though, and yeah i see your point. it looks like 100% robot which is lame.
if youve sen the inanis one before he pulled it, you expect so much more
Make it look like there's rotting bug meat inside.
there are parts of the current design that i think are really great, but there are definitely problems
i haven't though
unless this is public and i just happened to not have seen it lol
you havent
its lost media concerning the public i think
but still i mean i epect people to not want a FOUth mechanical boss kind of
i loooooove the palette
it didnt even start out as that
Sprites are... lost medias?
must be gaster
i think cal players just lower their standards in general
since a lot of designs have been pretty boring for so long
i mean yeah like with fab in charge that's the coping mechanism lmfao
not even fourth actually
the exo mechs exist gulp
complacency
its still going to be a bee but mechanical its just not going to be super surface level
i hope
like DS designs being "not desert enough" since its been a shit-colored sand worm for so long
i mean moreso people complaining about it having any color other than brown/yellow in it
the barrel worm one was kind of soul im jealous we couldnt have used it
cal sprites struggled with varied color palettes and people are just more used to the simplicity is what im saying
i cant wait for storm weaver rework
im with doze though i think yall should keep the lightning shaped mandibles
calamity spoiler talk
i thought heart was finishing the sprite and touching it up and that was that
gulppp
well that was like
a reshade i dont think any other devs super supported that happening
yeah it strawberrified pbg for no reason
?? idk what that means but
strawberrified
its moreso a dev rule regarding not having to sprite placeholders
huh? 😭
cause the new sprite is supposed to be a dia sprite so the arguement would hae been
it rlly didnt
that it was just a placeholder
wait nvm im 100% on board with this
🤤
what does strawberryfied mean what
pbg is for future us to deal with or whatever
❓
Red.
i think like
she's not on the top of the priority list rn
a red tint
i
i dont remember how it looked so i wouldnt know
She's red even as a Town NPC.
it’s somewhere far up in patreon
there's other bosses that i'm more excited for the reworks of than pbg
She's not really meant to, since she has grey skin, not pink.
like ceaseless void
we dont talk about pinklamitas 😭
Will Ceaseless Void be good?
yeah, that was the joke i meant :p
does she have horns in her current sprite too
this
👀 wasnt that a mihaii design
bc i keep seeing horns on every scal art i see
gulp
and i cant remember if she has them
Pinklamitas isn't real, she can't hurt you.
Pinklamitas:
on her actual sprite too
nah i'm talking in general
did mihaii make a cv design...... gulp
oh she does yeah
i wanna make that mf into a coked out kirby boss
though we might actually have to check im so serious
please do
if we were to make any calamity boss into a kirby boss type thing it'd be ceaseless void imo
🔥
Yharim and beat him with the power of friendship.
what is a kirby boss type
kiridestroyer9000
Ceaseless Void will have a big hammer.
something like this guy probably
charge ur phone
will do
like marx soul, star dream, soul of sectonia, astral birth void, etc
They're adding Communism to Calamity?
terraria 1.4.5 will bring morphing items to the game that lets you switch forms for an animal and gain unique abilities
does calamity plan on adding morphing items as well?

does he know
where’s that one
picture
Well considering they're asking a question I don't think they know
i don't know
Personally, I don't know
I'm not sure if any of the transformations will have any non-movement/visual/hitbox changes or anything
at least lore writers will have fun trying to fit transformations into da lore
rework gunk shot into a scatter grenade launcher and my life is yours
grenade shotgun
or literally any kind of pre-hm launcher
i just want one pre-hm launcher
And Pals
Actually if they still consider the Old One's Army non-canon they'd probably just ignore them-
What about a double barrel shotgun, one crimson the other corruption, alternates firing burning blood and brain rot bullets
sticky bomb launcher
Also Pals (and transformation mounts) will probably just be small enough additions that Calamity mod could easily just ignore them lore wise
It's not like they explain mounts, hooks, summons, etc.
what if gunk shot was a stickybomb launcher
That would be neat for wof
what if gunk shot died
what if time was an illusion and yharim released a long time ago
honestly im sad that the classless weapons got removed
I agree that classless damage shouldn't be a type of thing in the game and all but I had genuinely so much fun with the post moonlord classless revolver that used magnum rounds
it couldve become just a ranged weapon, I really miss it
We must address the elephant killer in the room
they're not all being removed
just the ones that were kinda rough designed
oh thank goodness
like elephant killer line sucked bc haha limited use weapon
but we're adding more, like #spoilers has a clip of classless Claret Cannon
and Stratus Sphere is being revived but as a classless weapon
what if every melee weapon except the murasama had a durability meter and if it ran out you couldnt use it anymore
murasama has it too
it just takes 10 minutes to recharge
"The Murasama is out of energy!"
Gotta love Those draedon weapons
It's not hard to recharge them but I imagine it can be annoying and people tend to take a while to recharge them
What if murasama was removed
There would be a riot.
what if muramasa was removed
Red nation in shambles
calamity overhaul usage spikes
Would be worth it ngl
im ngl i think the concept of launchable saw weapons is super fun
well it says that the elephant killer got removed during the 2022 changelogs
it did get removed because that one kinda sucked mechanically and was just a gun in design
limited use weapons aren’t inherently bad tho
💔
did anyone ever actually use the limited use weapons
it’s a cool idea but you’d need to apply it to something that isn’t just a normal gun
for me they were just throw-into-a-chest-and-never-use material
too good to use
cuz if you use them and screw up, its a complete waste
same thing with purified gel
tomaayyto tomaaahto
😋
Purified jam was nice when scal had hit count
It's iffy for a game like Terraria imo
Strictly speaking, the way it was? Cringe. It was basically a get out of jail free card that you could whiff, and you never got another chance if it happened
If you need to have a get out of jail free card, and its gimmick is that it's unreplenishable, that's just garbage design lol
Now alternatively, if it was that you had a limited number of shots of it per fight, like it had technically infinite ammo but you could only use it so many times in 1 fight? I could maybe see it working
yeah, that would make more sense
I could maybe even see some kind of alternative playstyle where you have a gun that has huge damage, but you can only fire it once on a cooldown every minute or 30 seconds or smth being interesting
was that not how they worked
If it ever did work like that I'm not familiar with it
i remember it working like that
The way I remembered it it was straight up just limited ammo you could never replenish
and you only got more from killing a boss the first time
lmao it really had both?
double scarcity
This is like the most anti-user friendly weapon possible jesus lol
No it’s not.
That's true
There’s Phaseslayer
x times per boss isnt an inherently super bad idea except damn you have to make that unusable outside of bosses
what if i made phaseslayer usable
No
How does phaseslayer work exactly?
I've never tried it because fundamentally I'm not a big of the charging aspect of Arsenal weapons, and I assume it's prob a lot worse for melee weapons
phaseslayer wouldnt be that bad if sensitivity bonus is a bonus
but I've heard it's very painful to use
and it was good in the first place
Phaseslayer should remain the poster child for garbage
the problem is that its shit in the first place and you need the sensitivity bonus to come even close to being viable
so honestly farmost its just balance
if the weapon is B tier with no wrist shaking it wouldn't live in such infamy
Basically Phaseslayer can be summed up in that picture of Cit's Wrist after testing it
Creates a giant laser sword that points at your cursor. Swing it around faster to deal more damage and spawn some homing projectiles.
If you bruise and inflame your wrist it can kill Yharon in 6:40!
but it's literally F tier with or without
you should be able to use phaseslayer by hooking up a wii remote with a sensor bar to your computer
like in skyward sword
I always wanted to try the Arsenal weapons more cause they seem really cool on paper, but the charging mechanic really bothered me a lot, it just feels so arbitrary to have to randomly wait for 30 seconds between some attempts
Okay, now add an item that is literally just current Phaseslayer
I know the charging is being removed in SSO, which I am really glad about
it is?
Source?
Was it not said before by a dev?
No obviously you should be able to use it with the Wii Balance Board
True.
I know I've def read somewhere that they wanted to remove it from weapons, presumably because of what I said about it being silly and arbitrary to have to wait to use your weapon
Yeah, I remember hearing charging is getting axed. Multiple times.
Use the Phaseslayer with the Virtual boy
Think it's going to be delegated to the armour or something.
Maybe not in SSO tbf, I might've made that up, I assume it would be cause Arsenal weapons are really cool and it's just a shame that they're hindered by this frankly pretty stupid mechanic
i think charging isnt a very interesting mechanic as well but ive never heard confirmation that its getting axed
if they do though, that might pave the way for an eventual removal of power cells i hope
since at that point they would serve 1 (and a half) purposes
To be fair the whole power cell thing does seem really redundant
I cant believe calamity is an idle game
Charging weapons isn't a fun mechanic
Otherwise, you're left with codebreaker, and needing 4000 power cells to decode a message isn't very good either
It's barely a mechanic.
It's p much only a non-issue because you would most likely have been doing it from the start
Also, one other thing: Why does it even say that Auric Cell speeds up decipher time
Either you do it from the start or you have to do nothing for ten minutes after beating Yharon
Does that functionality even actually exist?
just ten minutes? 
It's only useful for rereading messages or decrypting schematics from other worlds.
Wtf
Unless more schematics for post-Exo Mechs are planned... it's basically useless.
Why would you ever do any of that LMAO
You can't even get that without deciphering all of them anyways
And I thought I overshot
The Codebreaker is a funny device
it takes about 2 hours with 10 factories JUST to get the power cells
I mean, I love the idea of it, and the whole progression system with the Schematics. I actually think it's a really cool way to add intertwined lore with the actual progression that's not just Yharim's perspective, especially with bosses that are mostly mechanical
…Right.
The mandatory waiting just sucks
I was just thinking about the decrypting part
it is getting axed
on all weapons
tools will likely still use it
I knew it.
UNIRONICALLY
(the ones that are final)




what the heck is this
