no clue

#

i dont even get into arguments there theres no point

severe nebula
#

ya cuz im right about sg clueless

cunning sequoia
#

queen slime is stronger than slime god because she's trans

#

dont fact check this im always right

vivid hemlock

#

Calclone being the final cal boss of pre hm

#

Thematically I think it works

severe nebula
#

how does that work

halcyon seal
#

Plus it guarantees that sg gets a thorough overhaul

#

And I think there’s way more you can do with sg than two mimics

severe nebula
#

overhaul guarantees shouldnt be strived for through tier shifts

halcyon seal
#

Also it makes queen slime less flaccid

vivid hemlock
#

clone is supposed to be a sort of fake ending and that doesnt really work when its the middle of hardmode

halcyon seal
#

ALSO and this is a personal grievance of mine

vivid hemlock
#

this tier swap also solves two issues the lore writers have for two bosses at once

severe nebula
halcyon seal
#

It moves silence before the storm to pre wof

halcyon seal
severe nebula
#

and SG is a crimson-corruption mix of slimes which sounds perfectly reasonable to handle pre-WoF

vivid hemlock
lapis oak
halcyon seal
#

It’s not like, guardians pre hm or smth

severe nebula
#

Mechs, Plaguebringer, etc

halcyon seal
#

And calclone is explicitly a failure right

severe nebula
#

i dont see why Cal Clone should be reduced to phm

vivid hemlock
#

those are insanely strong compared to one clone who was given a fragment of calamitas' power

#

draedon's experiment wasnt even the reason for her strength

#

all he did was clone her and then calamitas found out and broke the clone out

lapis oak
severe nebula
#

yeah we know

lapis oak
#

current SG design is not satisfactory

vivid hemlock

sg being weaker than one of the dumbest vanilla bosses ManaRose

#

There's so much more you can do with her than just Draedon Exposition Numero Three Hundred

#

She's a whole ass fully sapient person who probably has 301 different types of identity crises due to not only being a literal Clone born in a Test Tube but also the fact she'sw a clone of Calamitas out of all things

#

I think looking at her as "Draedon experiment" is actually missing how much potential Calclone has for interesting characterization and her being a draedon experiment should be secondary imo

#

It should be contextualization for her backstory and Why she's like that but as a character she's more than just that

severe nebula
#

tldr even less things that make her retierable to pre-hm

pulsar cobalt
#

what

#

#

??

severe nebula
#

i will not elaborate

fringe quiver
#

I see no way how this has anything to do with her tier in boss progression chief i cant lie

pulsar cobalt
#

even if you did go with the angle of "all calclone is is a draedon creation"

#

itd still be good to put her at pre hm

severe nebula
#

collect my implications

pulsar cobalt
#

just so there isnt every draedon thing in one area

vivid hemlock
#

6 draedon-related bosses in hm if you include the mechs

summer shore
#

6 draedon related bosses in the whole game is already a lot

#

8 with post ml (dog and exos)

vivid hemlock
#

you do NOT count dog

halcyon seal
#

Dog?

#

Was his armor draedon or smth

vivid hemlock
#

i dont believe this

#

yeah draedon made his cosmilite armor

halcyon seal
#

Yeah that is not a draedon boss

summer shore
#

but still thats a stretch

valid crypt
halcyon seal
#

I think calclone being the final boss of pre hm just works really well esp when you consider that wof is in my head at least supposed to be a fakeout final boss

#

It def gives very final boss energy on your first time through imo

dusk bronze
#

but calclone would never be believable as the actual calamitas if she was phm

#

the final calamity boss in phm being your first run in with a god works so much better

halcyon seal
#

AND you move silence before the storms to a more logical point

dusk bronze
#

then there wouldn't be any Interludes in hardmode

#

besides resurrection

halcyon seal
#

I just think post mechs is an unsatisfying place for a boss like calclone to be

dusk bronze
#

unless they make a new one for some reason

halcyon seal
#

I know it’s not really a hm interlude

dusk bronze
#

it's not perfect but i think it'd be significantly more unsatisfying pre wof

halcyon seal
#

But it gives off the vibe of one to me

dusk bronze
#

though it's being moved to post rav eventually iirc

halcyon seal
dusk bronze
#

i was talking about the boss placement

severe nebula
dusk bronze
#

to rebecca's point of meeting calclone then learning about the real calamitas from permafrost, it would be entirely feasible to just
not have him open up about her until post calclone

Lowkey whenever Yharim comes out we should move catastrophe to post scal/exos

Honestly, I'd argue more against this, because it wouldn't really solve the problem of the people that constantly complain about him not being in the mod. If he was released in an unpolished state with a notice that he'd be improved on later, then he'd most likely just get the DoG treatment, where those same people won't be glad that he's here, but upset that the eventual rework isn't coming any faster

And if he got regular updates over time, then he'd...also get the DoG treatment funny enough

Kind of just a "pick your poison" scenario

It's just HPU's use of color that might make it less "terraria-y"

watch it be all this and its just "the design kinda looks bad"

deft lily
#

In that case.

exotic atlas
#

it does look kinda like a fish ngl

modern grove
# deft lily Why's that?

It's very uninspired and doesn't really do anything interesting compared to 100 other worm bosses in the game. He's a worm with giant mandibles, like every single other calamity worm. Like, it wouldn't be that much of an issue if his silhouette was more unique from others.

The idea to make it based on the album cover is also a bit silly, because it's just an artwork of his previous design up close, it's not a new design. Also speaking of album cover, the idea behind HPU design was to make it resemble it, but I think it does so poorly for several reasons: first, in the cover art the perspective of DOG's face makes it look like the camera is placed right in front of him, he looks straight into it. However, on the HPU sprite the face is exactly the same, but for some reason it's put on top of his head, so he constantly looks up. Second, the body sprites don't really resemble the head at all? Those wavy patterns from the helmet are not present anywhere else on the body, and in general the shape language is very inconsistent on the new sprite, it's all over the place. It makes it look jarring.

It was also not super good idea to make the design of phase 2 first and then design p1 naked body second, it lead to a very backwards design and it resulted in p1 dog looking very awkward and not exactly fitting in his armor. He also just looks like a wild beast, not exactly a sapient being? And like yeah he's a nightmare creature from distortion whatever, but with a better designs you still could make him look like a character and monster-like.

And the overall I don't think this new sprite says anything about dog's character. His naked form looks like a wild beast and his armored form looks like a metal tube, not exactly robotic but not far from it, again, very similar to other worms.

Also slightly unrelated but I think most people don't think his sprite fits the game because HPU generally tends to use a lot of anti aliasing, which results in her sprites looking very blurry

And it would be better if the design was made from the scratch

i think the issue with a lot of worms that somehow the destroyer does really well is that their eyes, logically, face straight up

modern grove
# modern grove It's very uninspired and doesn't really do anything interesting compared to 100 ...

A bit more about the last point, HPU's style, as I said, relies a lot on huge amounts of anti aliasing. It's not presented in terraria, or even calamity, in such amounts and so because of it a lot of HPU sprites just, look out of place in the game's environment. I think the style itself is not bad, and it would work a lot better if it was used not for terraria mods.

And also like, I do think that calamity should try to at least not clash with vanilla style? It doesn't have to follow it, but as you can see with fables, or spirit reforged, or even other cal sprites made by different artists, you can have good looking spritework that doesn't clash with vanilla

mandibles are extremely overdone in terraria worm designs for some reason

we need more worms that are indistinguishable from head nor tail

I'm fine with mandibles just not as exaggerated

amber egret

#

if theres one thing that wont distinguish dog at all its the fact that his design is still just an iteration of the dynasty of destroyer iterations

there is not much difference between heart's phase two and the current phase 2 other than size and artstyle
