inner timber

i would imagine weaver is also intelligent

valid crypt
#

I dont know what point you sre trying to prove

distant raft
#

ehhhh

pulsar cobalt
#

we will get more lore on weaver one day

#

but for now all we can definitely say is that weaver is weaver

agile latch

Extra dimensional portal vs weaver vs space devil

inner timber

agile latch
#

No

valid crypt

Does doze even care for lore

agile latch

There is already plans for weaver..

(Its already all planned out gif)

I'd figure to be a Calamity dev you must care for the lore to some degree

You said smth about an expert item that was like a sack that held loose items like dirt, clay, silt, etc.?

vivid hemlock
#

sand bag

dusk bronze
#

scoog bag

vivid hemlock
#

desert scourge sand bag

pulsar cobalt
#

sand SACK

#

its called the sand SACK

modern jolt
#

How big is the variety of items it can hold?

pulsar cobalt
#

get it right DUMMIES

vivid hemlock
#

shut up tsuki

kind tinsel
vivid hemlock
#

i dont care about your opinion tsuki

pulsar cobalt
vivid hemlock
#

it converts those items into sand

agile latch
pulsar cobalt
#

stores them

#

and then can be converted to sand if one wishes

modern jolt
#

Oh my goodness

pulsar cobalt
#

its essentially a very early void bag but specifically for stone n dirt n stuff

modern jolt
#

We getting Minecraft bundles except they're not pandering and actually have a use

pulsar cobalt
#

speaking of

agile latch
#

Void bag but it only works for natural tiles and can grant you sand

vivid hemlock
#

minecraft players yearn for terraria

pulsar cobalt
#

make sure this gets priority over void bag when you have both in inventory

agile latch
#

Like for example flame licked shell

pulsar cobalt
agile latch
#

Does it just have a normal tooltip

#

Yea

#

It will now get one

pulsar cobalt
#

rarities are just whatever rarity other equipment at the tier are

#

not rainbow

#

sadly

agile latch
#

Expert rarity is rainbow right

#

So ye rainbow is returning

LMAO

#

FUCKING ECHO CHAMBER

stuck kite
#

luminite itself is red but if you turn them into bricks it goes down a rarity

earnest jewel
#

They should add Dante from the Devil May Cry series to Calamity.

kind tinsel
#

the cement ruins the craftsmanship

#

a luminite brick. all craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. this object uhhh

earnest jewel
#

That's cool.

#

So is it like equipped or is it a permanent upgrade?

dull heart
#

It's available as long as the bag is in your inventory

earnest jewel
#

I see.

#

So giving up one inventory slot to get eight.

#

So a net plus seven.

kind tinsel
#

is it of the highest craftdwarfship?

dull heart
#

It's not of any craftsmanship

who the fuck is dogma?

earnest jewel
#

The guy who tried to make Yharim God-King.

#

Currently he's the Hive Mind, well most of it.

arctic cliff
#

triangle's statement implies he had a lot to do with... the end of the draconic age?

hard copper
#

dragons dogma lmao

earnest jewel
#

I mean. He's a god.
Gods killed dragons.

#

So he probably did it at least once.

modern jolt
#

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

vivid hemlock
#

moon lord is a crackhead

agile latch
#

and also one of the figures who spread the most the entire god thing

modern jolt
#

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?

agile latch
#

(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)

agile latch

what the fuck are you on about

prime moonlord has been consistently put above noxus lmfao

tropic jolt
#

does prime moon lord speedblitz!!!!

kindred night
#

was prime moonlord implemented in an addon by lucille

#

thats what i thought

#

put it below noxus..,

modern jolt

I would love to see what a prime ML looked like

lapis oak

HOLY powerscaling talk

#

rare

vivid hemlock
#

its not rare its just a dying species

modern jolt
#

I mean, I love powerscaling

vivid hemlock
#

the days when lore disc was just powerscaling 🥹

#

the horrors

modern jolt
#

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

kindred night
#

terraria is a woke game

#

think about that

True.

Hello tyrannical pumpking

dull heart
#

i have sentenced myself to coding worms again

#

this time like 4 of them

earnest jewel
#

Is Invoked Stargod one of them?
Or mere mortal worms?

modern jolt
#

Wtf is Invoked Stargod btw?

#

I've seen it, but I have no idea what it's a boss from

earnest jewel
#

It's from Invoked Stargod.

Does anyone have the Invoked Stargod gif by hand

#

hey whatever you have to say about storm weaver

#

you gotta give em an attack thats just a blue jet

earnest jewel
#

Xeroc can dry out Spongebob.

#

Calamitas can burn up the ocean, which beats Spongebob.

#

Yharim has no counter to Spongebob. Stalemate.

arctic cliff

Makes sense, The Sponge is a really OP accessory

What more if your whole build is The Sponge

arctic cliff

mystic eagle
earnest jewel
#

Auric Tesla only does that on contact.

distant raft
arctic cliff
earnest jewel
#

But without the ocean he dries up.

earnest jewel
#

So he dodges.

distant raft
#

also she incinerated something the size of two and a half portugals

mystic eagle
distant raft
#

do you have any idea

#

how massive the oceans are

earnest jewel
#

Yeah it'd take a while.

#

But if she really believes in herself she can do it.

mystic eagle
#

Sponges can be sliced in half

distant raft
#

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

mystic eagle
#

Hold on

distant raft
#

if she only boiled it then even a thousand calamiti couldnt do it

modern jolt
#

Okay perhaps, but you know what would get the job done real fast? The primordial light of the sun

mystic eagle
#

Dry sponges are easy to burn, all it takes is 1 spark

distant raft
#

because the water just gathers in the clouds

distant raft
#

and comes right back down

modern jolt

Forget the ocean, the whole damn planet is getting burnt up then

is this a test for some kind of crazy mod boss or smth?

ocean jetty
#

its peak

#

thats what it is

dull heart
#

all I know is it's peak

ocean jetty
#

(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))

hard copper
#

did you ever figure out how it was done?

dull heart
#

I have made a worm boss much longer than this one

distant raft
#

1.3 invoked starmod is lost media

modern jolt
#

Also why does this segment sprite look so sigma

hard copper
#

mod that increases the npc limit ig

distant raft
dull heart
distant raft
#

the limits on stuff is hardcoded

ocean jetty
modern jolt
#

How much does this lag the game

hard copper
dull heart
#

iirc

modern jolt
#

Oh interesting

#

I assume also this probably didn't have any attacks or any actual behavior other than moving around

halcyon seal
dull heart
#

no it has attacks

modern jolt
#

Wtf, and it really still only drops to 30?

dull heart
modern jolt
#

Why does this go hard

fathom girder

but that sounds like hell to animate

pulsar cobalt

#

anyway this is not one of the 4 worms I assigned myself to today

#

however 3 of them are NPCs

mystic eagle

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

ocean jetty
#

doze when will you add the Gaster Blaster to calamity

hasty tangle
#

those are already in calamity though

ocean jetty
modern jolt
#

Alright hold on, I'm gonna need a check on something here

#

Tf you mean Spongebob gets electrocuted

#

You can't electrocute sponge

mystic eagle
#

Afaik Spongebob can't get rid of the absorbed water himself

distant raft
dense sundial
mystic eagle
#

Okay but Yharim has the Yharmy

dense sundial
#

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

mystic eagle

no way, spongebob plays ftl?

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

dull heart

the only major changes since then was the removal of Fabsol dedicated content and reworking butcher/elemental blaster into Buzzkill and Superradiant Slaughterer

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

It's a cool sprite of course, but it's still just a Destroyer mini-boss version

fathom girder
#

For now

late eagle
#

We already have Thanatos for that

fathom girder
#

who knows what they'll do with it

late eagle
#

Just remove or ship of theseus him

fathom girder
#

I was. implying that

#

like, that they would either rework him or at least make him more interesting mechanically

dull heart
#

yeah its going to be entirely different

late eagle
#

Okay

dull heart
#

it's not just a sprite swap

late eagle
fathom girder
#

I feel like that's par for the course by now lul

#

especially given everyone knows how simple that enemy is

late eagle
dull heart
#

i mean it's be entirely rebuilt

late eagle
#

Okay that's really good

dull heart

Instead of being Deconstructor Mk1/Mk2/Mk3 the current plan for the names are Burrower/Excavator/Deconstructor

And no aspect of its design is physically used for anything 🥀

There’s so much potential there

dull heart

true

#

i should rework sepulchur

Only possible to go up I think

dull heart

instructions unclear sepulcher now can only move upwards

Another 20 billion worms to rework for doze

wooo

finally earning my title as calamity dev

Sepulcher has a lot of potential

If infernum taught me anything at least

earnest jewel
#

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

wait till they realize we're overhauling more than just the sunken sea

tropic jolt
# dusk bronze

I love how theres a lightning bolt worked into the sprite

#

buoyant pulsar
#

also can someone explain what exactly heroic damage is

dusk bronze
#

i think

buoyant pulsar
#

yeah i read it and i don't really understand

dull heart
#

Heroic Damage would be basically a tag added to weapons to deal increased damage to bosses

buoyant pulsar
#

wdym by tag

dull heart
#

this would be used for close range ("true melee") weapons

#

like an internal checkbox

misty wren
dull heart
#

check "is this weapon Heroic Damage?" and then if it is deal more boss damage

buoyant pulsar
#

so kinda like how flails are extremely good against crowds and struggle a little against bosses?

dull heart
#

yes

#

Flails might get Heroic damage

buoyant pulsar
#

would it be an invisible tag that makes flails for example deal extra damage to bosses?

dull heart
#

yes

buoyant pulsar
#

okay sure

dull heart
#

well not entirely invisible

#

the tooltips would make note of it

buoyant pulsar
#

okay

dull heart
#

it would also be used to trigger things like Hide of Deus

misty wren
#

like spitballing numbers here lets say +300% damage to bosses specifically so they dont also destroy every crowd control scenario

buoyant pulsar
#

mhm

#

that makes sense

dull heart
#

basically it's just True Melee damage class, but it applies to any damage class and has a natural boss damage buff built-in

buoyant pulsar
#

so u might have a weapon be like
90 ranged damage
+30% heroic damage

dull heart
#

yea

buoyant pulsar
#

okay thats cool

#

i fw that

visual inlet
#

I can't wait for the subworlds to be added to calamity

earnest jewel
#

That will be in a few years.

visual inlet
#

I will wait, then

#

hm

#

never knew there was going to be two parts to SSO

earnest jewel
#

SSO1 is the big one.
SSO2 is the other stuff. I think thats the Crab Update.

distant raft
#

sso2 is hardmode

#

sso1 is the prehm part of the sunken sea

earnest jewel
#

Thank you.

I'm too excited

#

By the way, how knowledgeable are you on the lore?

visual inlet
#

me?

earnest jewel
#

Yes, you!

visual inlet

Somewhat

#

haven't touched calamity in months, so I need to study up again

That's good, do you mind talking in lore discussion for a bit?

whyy do we have to resprite pbg :(((

hasty tangle
buoyant pulsar
#

her sprite is literally so fucking awesome

buoyant pulsar
#

like yes i agree it shouldn't have all those black outlines

#

but actual design wise its amazing

dull heart
#

a resprite doesn't inherently mean a redesign

trail oriole
#

in this case it does aha

buoyant pulsar
dull heart
#

I was about to add I have no idea if we are or aren't redesigning PBG

trail oriole
#

we HAVE! to replace it cause the design is a bit too on the nose and bland sorry #poopbringer enjooyers

vivid hemlock
#

lmao

buoyant pulsar
#

whar..

trail oriole
#

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

buoyant pulsar
#

but thats what it is........

trail oriole
#

if i look into our lore doc and its not a mecha bee im banning you for life

buoyant pulsar
#

man i think pbg should be able to launch her stinger at u like a telegraphed ballista projectile

cunning sequoia
#

it is a metal as fuck design, pun not intended

earnest jewel
#

It's a cyborg bee.

hasty tangle
earnest jewel
#

Completely different, obviously.

hasty tangle
#

might be an interesting desperation move ig SamThink

cunning sequoia
#

the oversized ridiculous thrusters are awesome and should stay

buoyant pulsar
dull heart
#

to be fair queen bee launches stingers

dull heart
#

And PBG is plague cyborg queen bee

trail oriole
#

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

cunning sequoia
#

thats fair

trail oriole
#

you have to think aobut it a bit more or else youll stay an mid spriter sorry

cunning sequoia
#

i just want her to keep the thrusters tbh

#

and perhaps the color palette, it works really well

trail oriole
#

we have to seperate it from the vanilla bosses that are just like

#

the same but mechanical

buoyant pulsar
#

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.

trail oriole
#

if youve sen the inanis one before he pulled it, you expect so much more

earnest jewel
#

Make it look like there's rotting bug meat inside.

buoyant pulsar
#

there are parts of the current design that i think are really great, but there are definitely problems

buoyant pulsar
#

unless this is public and i just happened to not have seen it lol

trail oriole
#

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

buoyant pulsar
trail oriole
#

it didnt even start out as that

earnest jewel
#

Sprites are... lost medias?

gloomy grove
#

must be gaster

cunning sequoia
#

i think cal players just lower their standards in general

#

since a lot of designs have been pretty boring for so long

buoyant pulsar
#

i mean yeah like with fab in charge that's the coping mechanism lmfao

trail oriole
#

not even fourth actually
the exo mechs exist gulp

buoyant pulsar
#

complacency

trail oriole
#

its still going to be a bee but mechanical its just not going to be super surface level

#

i hope

cunning sequoia
#

like DS designs being "not desert enough" since its been a shit-colored sand worm for so long

trail oriole
#

i mean

#

thats kind of been the stable of desert worms in general

cunning sequoia
#

i mean moreso people complaining about it having any color other than brown/yellow in it

trail oriole
#

the barrel worm one was kind of soul im jealous we couldnt have used it

cunning sequoia
#

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

yeah it strawberrified pbg for no reason

?? idk what that means but

buoyant pulsar
#

strawberrified

trail oriole
#

its moreso a dev rule regarding not having to sprite placeholders

rich ginkgo

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

#

what if time was an illusion and yharim released a long time ago

amber furnace
#

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

hard copper
#

We must address the elephant killer in the room

dull heart
#

just the ones that were kinda rough designed

amber furnace
#

oh thank goodness

dull heart
#

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

tropic jolt
#

what if every melee weapon except the murasama had a durability meter and if it ran out you couldnt use it anymore

dull heart
#

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

💔

hasty tangle
#

did anyone ever actually use the limited use weapons

spark kiln
#

it’s a cool idea but you’d need to apply it to something that isn’t just a normal gun

hasty tangle
#

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

lapis oak
#

purified jam

#

jam that you eat

hasty tangle
#

tomaayyto tomaaahto

lapis oak
#

😋

sand dome
#

Purified jam was nice when scal had hit count

modern jolt
#

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

hasty tangle
#

yeah, that would make more sense

modern jolt
#

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

modern jolt
#

If it ever did work like that I'm not familiar with it

spark kiln
#

i remember it working like that

modern jolt
#

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

stuck kite
#

yes

#

obtainment was limited

#

in addition to having a shoot cap

modern jolt
#

lmao it really had both?

stuck kite
#

double scarcity

modern jolt
#

This is like the most anti-user friendly weapon possible jesus lol

dense sundial
#

No it’s not.

modern jolt
#

That's true

dense sundial
#

There’s Phaseslayer

stuck kite
#

x times per boss isnt an inherently super bad idea except damn you have to make that unusable outside of bosses

dull heart
#

what if i made phaseslayer usable

mystic eagle
#

No

modern jolt
#

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

stuck kite
#

phaseslayer wouldnt be that bad if sensitivity bonus is a bonus

modern jolt
#

but I've heard it's very painful to use

stuck kite
#

and it was good in the first place

mystic eagle
#

Phaseslayer should remain the poster child for garbage

stuck kite
#

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

mystic eagle
#

Basically Phaseslayer can be summed up in that picture of Cit's Wrist after testing it

dense sundial
# modern jolt How does phaseslayer work exactly?

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!

dull heart
#

i already did it

stuck kite
#

but it's literally F tier with or without

hasty tangle
#

you should be able to use phaseslayer by hooking up a wii remote with a sensor bar to your computer

#

like in skyward sword

modern jolt
#

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

mystic eagle
modern jolt
#

I know the charging is being removed in SSO, which I am really glad about

hasty tangle
#

it is?

dense sundial
#

Source?

modern jolt
#

Was it not said before by a dev?

mystic eagle
modern jolt
#

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

earnest jewel
#

Yeah, I remember hearing charging is getting axed. Multiple times.

brave star
#

Use the Phaseslayer with the Virtual boy

earnest jewel
#

Think it's going to be delegated to the armour or something.

modern jolt
#

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

hasty tangle
#

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

modern jolt
#

To be fair the whole power cell thing does seem really redundant

tropic jolt
#

I cant believe calamity is an idle game

modern jolt
#

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

earnest jewel
#

It's barely a mechanic.

modern jolt
#

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

dense sundial
#

Either you do it from the start or you have to do nothing for ten minutes after beating Yharon

modern jolt
#

Does that functionality even actually exist?

earnest jewel
#

It's only useful for rereading messages or decrypting schematics from other worlds.

modern jolt
#

Wtf

earnest jewel
#

Unless more schematics for post-Exo Mechs are planned... it's basically useless.

modern jolt
#

Why would you ever do any of that LMAO

#

You can't even get that without deciphering all of them anyways

dense sundial
modern jolt
#

The Codebreaker is a funny device

hasty tangle
modern jolt
#

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

dense sundial
#

…Right.

modern jolt
#

The mandatory waiting just sucks

dense sundial
#

I was just thinking about the decrypting part

agile latch
#

on all weapons

#

tools will likely still use it

earnest jewel
#

I knew it.

#

and other misc stuff

#

all new arsenal reworks dont have charge

#

UNIRONICALLY

agile latch
#

(the ones that are final)

modern jolt
#

I can think of one thing that I could see charging being completely justified for

#

Onyx Excavator

agile latch
#

old weapons that arent reworked yet still have it yet but it will be removed

as they are worked on
