[tidal yarrow]

affliction is slightly better than community

[arctic cliff]

the affliction exists

[tidal yarrow]

but theyre both kinda mid

[rose radish]

AS I said

[tidal yarrow]

I wouldnt use either

[rose radish]

More damage

Same max hp

[grave geyser]

communities regen only applies while you have a debuff btw

[rose radish]

More regen

[cunning sequoia]

thats only at max

[arctic cliff]

i think it should be reworked to be actually an affliction tho

[cunning sequoia]

by the time you can get affliction, community is just strictly worse

[grave geyser]

13 defense 7 dr is very relavent btw

[rose radish]

At post polter already more damage

[cunning sequoia]

affliction gives 10% dmg

[pulsar cobalt]

i love how the affliction arguement isnt pointing out the extremely busted and frankly should be removed function of multiplayer

[grave geyser]

3% more total damage... yay...

[rose radish]

Community 14

[grave geyser]

yeah mp affliction is a different beast entirely

[lyric trellis]

I remember when Affliction was "about to" get nerfed/reworked 2.5 years ago 🙂‍↕️

[arctic cliff]

not many of us people here dont play mp so ya

[tidal yarrow]

13 defense isnt noticeable for the bosses you receive it for (dog, yharon) and the 7dr is negated simply by the fact that diminishing returns are a thing

[pulsar cobalt]

mm yes give a free accessory slot worth of buffs to every teammate with no restriction

[cunning sequoia]

what? no it gives 9%

[grave geyser]

defense is very noticable on dog

[pulsar cobalt]

surely this is a good idea

[grave geyser]

reducing laser damage is massive

[tidal yarrow]

so if you have any other sources of DR the DR received from the community gets a mahor decrease

[rose radish]

Crit chance

It is +damage

[grave geyser]

also yharon is like tank heaven what

[tidal yarrow]

mm, these stats are for infernum so yeah im wrong here

[cunning sequoia]

just reforge affliction to lucky

[rose radish]

Reforge community to lucky lol

[grave geyser]

4/10 ragebait

[cunning sequoia]

[grave geyser]

acutally no 6/10

[rose radish]

Base stats of community on post-polter stage are slightly better than the affliction

[cunning sequoia]

this was about community being lame af anyway

[rose radish]

Nah someone asked what accs is worse than the community and a lot of people use it

I think it is the affliction

[cunning sequoia]

idk i dont play this game

im just in an arguing mood today

[grave geyser]

so true

[white aurora]

by the time you can get 100% community you'd just use s-community

wait no you can just kill scal first

[rose radish]

I really like how those stats prove that the community is better and then in the end it says "that's why the affliction is better"

[tidal yarrow]

its cuz affliction is better

[misty wren]

its better*
*if you do every single boss in a run and have it at the max possible scaling for that stage

[rose radish]

okay buddy

[tidal yarrow]

I would say theyre both about equal and theyre both bad

I wouldnt use either one ever except for very niche scenarios where I might be restricted on the accesories I can use and those would be my best options

[royal garnet]

has anyone thought abt making a version of something like this for future armor progression that includes current armors?

to give a better idea of progression overall rather than just the changes to it

[misty wren]

like lets say you dont do king slime, deerclops, queen slime, or aureus (because all of those are fairly forgettable bosses ngl)
congrats its just worse now

[pulsar cobalt]

me intentionally not doing deerclops because i fucking hate her

[dusk bronze]

@azure oak what you think about this

[pulsar cobalt]

(i dont do that actually)

is that even an orios chart

i dont think it was

[dusk bronze]

i'm 90% sure

[pulsar cobalt]

ehh hed probably know anyway

[dusk bronze]

who else does charts
seu and kiri?

1 chart each

[pulsar cobalt]

think so

[lapis oak]

my chart isn't that low effort

know the differences

tssk tssk

[dusk bronze]

i never said anything was low effort

[vivid hemlock]

kiri never puts any effort into anything

[lapis oak]

😠

[dusk bronze]

might be true

[tidal yarrow]

affliction has slightly less dps, more defense, way more DR and better max hp, while having slighlty less regen, it's flat out better, but yeah it falls off on any build after DoG or so still

theyre about equal

[rose radish]

1% less hp

[grave geyser]

thats value right there

[rose radish]

and as your own message mentioned dr doesn't matter

defence is kinda important but not this amount

[grave geyser]

dr totally matters even reduced 5% dr is equivilent to like 10+ defense at this stage

[rose radish]

there the difference is 2,5%

and 4 defence

and 1% hp buff

[tidal yarrow]

yeah cuz both of them are ass

but technically, affliction will be slightly better

[rose radish]

because of +1 hp%?

[tidal yarrow]

affliction has slightly less dps, more defense, way more DR and better max hp, while having slighlty less regen, it's flat out better, but yeah it falls off on any build after DoG or so still

[rose radish]

I like how 3% dps is slightly less, but 2,5 DR is way more

[tidal yarrow]

you need to be jolly bro its almost christmas eve

[tidal yarrow]

cuz at that stage of the game you will have like 20x more damage bonus stats than dr lmao

you have to think about it relatively

[cobalt wharf]

yea

is how that works

[drowsy reef]

Oh sweet the Yharon resprite cuts the old art’s thing of having armor over the entire patagium

I hated that thing

[wide wadi]

One day in the catalogs we will see 9268- resprite yharim

[little wraith]

PBG REWORK

YES

PLEASE

my baby is not going to be queen bee 2 anymore 🙏

damn these updates in the doc look great

[neat dock]

isn't she supposed to be just that

[lapis oak]

could be more

doesn't have to make it too literal

[pulsar cobalt]

her minions are kinda ass rn and they could be doing more

(see infernum doing laser walls and u have to break through)

[neat dock]

i think the fight feels different enough

at least for me

it doesn't feel like im just fighting queen bee

[fringe quiver]

i hate pbg with all of my heart

this is the boss that made me go "yeah i dont think i want to keep playing this mod for the time being actually"

considering that basically all content after this point is going to be boss fights and i am clearly not enjoying said boss fights too much

aquascoog still my favorite fight in this mod

May not be the best but atleast it's fun compared to The Horrors

Is it the most well designed boss fight? No, not atall, but i cannot dney that weaving through all the projectiles and lingering gas clouds was very fun for me

[barren nacelle]

I love PBG with all of my heart
This is the boss that made me go “yeah I think I want to continue playing the mod actually”
Considering that basically all content after this point is going to be boss fights am I’m clearly enjoying said boss fights so much

[fringe quiver]

evil crispy

but yeah the most fun i have with calamity is the earlier points of it

exploring the sunken sea, abyss, crags, that stuff's nice

fighting acid rain for the first time was a interesting experience even if the event was a bit barebones

abyss exploration in particular was really fun the first time around

but then after a while its just boss fight land

[rancid pagoda]

abyss isn't scary enough I say

[dusty tinsel]

People say Pbg is hard and yet I beat her second try as a rogue 🔥

On rev

[fringe quiver]

and i dont even like said boss fights that much usually (which is like doubly in effect because this is a personal thing but i'm generally not too big on terraria combat, not to mention the calamity bosses themselves having subpar design alot of the time)

[fringe quiver]

oh abyss could definitely be better

it has alot of flaws

but it still was very fun experiencing it for the first time

[grave geyser]

out of curiosity have you ever played spooky mod
its a lot of exploration stuff

[fringe quiver]

i haven't played spooky mod but i'm aware of it yeah it seems awesome

[barren nacelle]

The honeymoon period for abyss wears off fast for sure but it’s cool while it lasts

[fringe quiver]

i just don't really play tmod much in general nowadays

mainly just

due to the way i play terraria

i like to take my time with content

to experience as much as i can

(it's why most of my terraria gameplay time comes from my journey world)

and due to the way mods are often created it's hard to really be able to do that without putting 500 different 500 hour playthroughs on my boat

[dusty tinsel]

The abyss should clearly be like the void in subnautica

[grave geyser]

subnautica void the most glazed nothingburger ever

[dusk bronze]

true

i swam there and it was like 6/10

[rich ginkgo]

sunken sea is just gonna be a better abyss

same layer structure

but it actually has shit in it

[dusty tinsel]

Subnautica void is based

[grave geyser]

ehhh

probably the most underwhelming part of the game ngl

[dusty tinsel]

Well yah because they can't add much due to game limitations

[grave geyser]

it just feels like a really bad attempt to mask the map border

[dusty tinsel]

It had a bottom at one point, but it caused performance issues

So they removed it

[vestal osprey]

Changelogs tomorrow

[grave geyser]

nope sorry I threw the chagelogs into the sun

no more changelogs

[dusty tinsel]

Changelogs cancelled

[dusk bronze]

@ yuh is this true

[dusty tinsel]

I canceled them

[halcyon seal]

I’m so big and full of changelogs

I keep eating them

[dusty tinsel]

Maybe you should stop then

[wide wadi]

I really do wonder sometimes how much this sunken sea update will have

[grave geyser]

too much

[pulsar cobalt]

too much is a good way of putting it tbh

[wide wadi]

Isn’t it all reworks

[lyric trellis]

Lots sunken, not enough sea

[pulsar cobalt]

🔥

clearly they should add the sulphurous sea update into sso so that theres enough sea content

[lyric trellis]

That’s what was trying to happen in 2024

[dusty tinsel]

Distortion sea biome

Abyss

Regular ocean

All need to be included

[lyric trellis]

It’s not too late to make the entirety of Distortion sea-based, Cal doesn’t have enough of that clearly

And crags has a lava sea

[pulsar cobalt]

they should make astral sea themed too

[hard copper]

i think they should add a sea that has a lot of sorrow, some sort of sea of sorrow

[pulsar cobalt]

because we all know that space being compared to the ocean is a unique and never done idea !!

[dusty tinsel]

Sea in every biome when

[dense sundial]

I guess that would make SSO release because Sea of Sorrow will release

Good idea?

[summer shore]

Cal SSO + fables SS + sea of sorrow all at once

Manifesting it rn

[lapis oak]

some kind of fucking Avengers

[rich ginkgo]

silksong dlc before sso is fucking hilarious

[sick lotus]

Fables SS before SSO

[lapis oak]

Silksong has always been 2 steps ahead of Calamity

Update talk: Toby fox just dropped a new newsletter!!!! And it has plenty of fan service

[lusty stirrup]

toby fox is infact now composing for calamity mod and roar of the jungle dragon will be replaced with berdly’s rejected concept theme

[modern grove]

With the rejected concept of berdly's theme

Peak music

[frail tapir]

NOOOOOOOOO-

[shell cloud]

hey anyone know when the sunken sea update is gonna come out or where i can find info on it?

[twin bloom]

It comes out when it comes out

No set date

[shell cloud]

ight, guess ima wait for the announcement

[twin bloom]

But its likely that it comes out early next year

[cunning sequoia]

dont take that as confirmation btw

a lot of things can happen next year to delay it

[twin bloom]

Yeah

[olive ravine]

who wana see a pic of me on shrooms and nilk

its the worst feeling known to man

[pseudo vector]

no

[olive ravine]

fine more nilk for me

[amber egret]

it, like everything else, releases 2026

[tribal isle]

It like the movie

[amber egret]

no it like the noun

[tribal isle]

Movie’s better

[tall relic]

Teasers were dropped 7months ago so I'm hopeful it will come out soon

Who tf am I kidding

TwT

[azure oak]

guess i could.

[mystic eagle]

7 months is an underestimatement

SSO has been planned for a few years at this point and initially they attempted a 2024 release

we all know how that turned out

[tall relic]

oh 🙁

[spark kiln]

it isn’t a noun

it the movie, however, is a noun

[azure oak]

real and valid

[cunning sequoia]

its a pronoun which ehh close enough

half points

[wise bolt]

sea of updates..

[cunning sequoia]

sea of SSOrrows

[pulsar cobalt]

sos is an anagram for sso

[stuck kite]

always bet on uhhh... timeless shores

[pulsar cobalt]

coincidence? i think NOT

always bet on amidias knight

[high scaffold]

SSO

[modern grove]

Sea of sunken sea tomorrows

[high scaffold]

I cant even think of anything

Just SSO

[lapis oak]

SOS

[high scaffold]

Can we just have a buggy unfinished build already

[lean relic]

thats it, they have gone insane
got damn man

[high scaffold]

Where are my gamebreaking bugs

Where are missing textures

Wheres my terrible balance

I need that unfinished early build

[frail tapir]

more and more copium for sso

aaaaaaaaah

i am tired of waiting :/

[wise bolt]

we r tired of fish mines

gotta thug it out until it releases unfortunately. the horrors persist but so do we

[pulsar cobalt]

a dev in cut means a dev not in the fish mines

get back down there !!

[wise bolt]

back to the depths...

[nova talon]

Are there any news on an update?

[hushed hazel]

there's fish in it

[twin bloom]

Incredible

[wise bolt]

well, trying to get a move on but we've been going thru a rough patch. I've been drafting up concepts & such tweaking the sunken sea worldgen & environments, I'm hoping getting some decent visuals will boost motivation

lots of item/weapon reworks happening though

i'd like to show them if not for spoilers. alas

[cunning sequoia]

damn if only we had a channel for talking about calamity spoilers

shame thats not a thing

[fierce nebula]

Yeah, there’s only a channel called “calamity-update-talk”

[wise bolt]

if only

[lusty stirrup]

hear me out… #calamity-update-spoiler-talk

[wise bolt]

it is probably too big a spoiler though. it is worldgen

[fierce nebula]

🥀

Pwease

[wise bolt]

fine

LMFAO

[fierce nebula]

Fuck yeah

[cunning sequoia]

poile

[sand dome]

Some sort of dirty voltorb

[modern grove]

to be fair its not like new sunken sea worldgen was shown once for the sunken sea overhaul update

even just a bit

[wise bolt]

fsr they really wanna keep it secret

i'd have shown concepts if not for that

i'd like to be more open with development. it would be lovely receiving suggestions, ideas or even feedback from community so it isn't just us making cool stuff and hoping people like it

-# and also it shows we are not just sitting on our asses doing nothing,

[lusty stirrup]

i love open development

[deft lily]

I would be inclined to agree but I think realistically if you guys were more open with development people will just be like "idc, give yharim update".

Or just be incredibly dismissive of the work being done.

[pseudo vector]

that's ultimately a them problem in the end

[wise bolt]

i wouldn't be so pessimistic

[pseudo vector]

that's smth that would happen regardless of what we try to show

[wide nova]

i believe the uncertainty is beneficial for the projects overall content suspense and hype

though it stretches far too long

[deft lily]

True.

[wise bolt]

blehhh who gaf about suspense. all hype moments no aura

[silk notch]

I would agree that some things should never be given spoilers half done. The drafts can seem more beautiful in the maker's eyes as they see the whole plans or infinite possibilities within the rough frames, while in the real current form they actually seem ugly if viewers have no clear knowledge of the whole plot

[lapis oak]

all hype

no hype? just die

so all in hype

[wise bolt]

if you want a surprise you can choose to avoid spoilers. you are not forced to see them...

[deft lily]

Like deadass 90% of the comments on that "everything new in sso" video are "where yharim" or "anything but yharim".

Im not exaggerating either 😭 .

[wise bolt]

them problem (shrug

[pseudo vector]

that's just mura fans

[deft lily]

Yeah.

[pseudo vector]

no offense to mura himself but his fanbase is not great

[fierce nebula]

Calamity reddit users

[deft lily]

I dont really follow him so I would have no idea.

[wide nova]

we cant even post in patreon no more cause people wanna ruin it 4 everyone and leak shit

[lapis oak]

it's just Youtube

[wide nova]

i refuse to post my music there lol

[deft lily]

Yeah.
It sucks.

[tulip parcel]

where yharim

[silk notch]

there are shit in the community as long as the community is big enough. you can't avoid it

[lapis oak]

other platforms don't get to interact with devs very often so it's understandable why they behave that way

also yeah

[silk notch]

please focus more on the non-shit part of the community

[deft lily]

Its part of the reason I cancelled my patreon. Why pay for money to see WIP stuff when Billy Bob leaks everything the nanosecond it gets posted.

[tulip parcel]

is it worth getting into terraria modding

[wise bolt]

agree

there are other, nicer things to put your focus to in the meantime

[lapis oak]

curse of

curse of clamiy

[silk notch]

the community may seems a little bit inactive now since the main game, calamity and some other things happened to stop make updates together. then maybe it depends on how you expect the community would change after some certain events

[wide nova]

as what

an artist, coder, musician etc

[tulip parcel]

i mostly do code

ill prob end up doing solo projects though

if all goes to plan ill end up doing all of those

😭

[vivid hemlock]

they didnt stop making updates its just taking too long

[silk notch]

ik

they happened to syncronize their developing phases

[wise bolt]

been a rough year

[wide nova]

do you disagree?

this message reads as nothing to me

[wise bolt]

some parts would be good to keep secret but not all i think

a little more open would be nice

[wide nova]

agreed

i think the long periods of nothing is bad

[wise bolt]

i'd like to engage with the community more in that regard

[wide nova]

but periods of suspense r good in practice

just not like this lmfao

[wise bolt]

yeha 🥹

[wide nova]

yk i would love to do this but its weird doing so as an audio guy, charlie probably understands

[wise bolt]

my bad, thought it would be funny. it just feels like its all suspense but like.. is the suspense worth it is what i'm saying

[silk notch]

Actually I am personally very scared if calamity make an update soon. Just like some time ago calamity devs are scared if Terraria make an update soon

[wide nova]

we can’t just post a mp3 or flac or wav cause we’ve had too many cases of users literally plagiarizing our work

[pseudo vector]

the most i can really do is answer people’s questions n stuff

[wise bolt]

yaa valid

[deft lily]

At least we have worm Wednesday 🪱

[wide nova]

oh yes i get this 100%. the initial msg read as moreso dismissive

so i apologize for that too

[wise bolt]

yaya, mb mb

[wide nova]

i do want to post some sort of video showcasing the work ive been doing for the mod but i rlly dunno how id approach it

moreso specifically the song im currently working on

[wise bolt]

put subway surfers gameplay over it

[wide nova]

im bout to watermark it like trap producers do on their “free to use”
beats

[wise bolt]

LOLL

[modern grove]

i personally think this sort of "big major update" is a bad thing for the mod development

smaller and maybe more focused updates would be so much cooler in short and long term

[wise bolt]

agreed

[fierce nebula]

No 2.2 has to take 8 years like geometry dash

[silk notch]

but certain things should always be big major updates. you should never play on a half done worldgen

or a half done big boss

[modern grove]

like a big part of cal "major updates" underwent a lot of struggles and bumps in the development because of how the team works (struggles with the management)

[valid crypt]

P sure this is an ice take

[modern grove]

i think it should be

[lapis oak]

eternal glacier take?

[frail owl]

meow

[pulsar cobalt]

absolute zero take

[lapis oak]

tupid tupid tupid buy DST NOW

[vivid hemlock]

the take is so cold its literally the plan

[lapis oak]

🫧 🐠

[silk notch]

you can argue that major updates could be worked on separate branches behind the scene. that would be healthier but problems are only mitigated

[valid crypt]

Why you shouting that at tsuki 😭?

[vivid hemlock]

💣

[lapis oak]

2 copies of DST at a cheap price?

satisfactory

[stone fiber]

What do they do?

[rose radish]

Is the team planning to release SSO without any prior spoilers of what it looks like?

[pseudo vector]

at the moment we don't know

[wide nova]

SSO is simply a figment of your imagination

we were never developing anything

calamity is done

[silk notch]

there are high tier patrons and localizers anyway so surprise updates is pointless isn't it 😭

[wide nova]

yea but thats a select few compared to 6 digits worth of people

[dense sundial]

I think we’ve had enough of this

[wide nova]

its true

why else is sso not out

this server isnt even real yo

[rose radish]

Suprise updates are pointless because most of people are going to watch a youtube showcase video instead of playing it

[hasty hawk]

and then complain about changes for some reason and complain about big update not being out yet

[silk notch]

a considerable part of these people need localizers to work first to enjoy the update 😭

[hasty hawk]

pretty sure progress was made in making some localizations available after update release iirc

[lapis oak]

Shade you're too green almost didn't recognize you

the bleen disease

[hot pebble]

I BLINKED! WHAT HAPPENED?

[stone fiber]

It snew

[hasty hawk]

Yep im green now

[hasty hawk]

Imo: weapon or gear related stuff its fine as long as it looks decent. NPCs, Bosses, enemies, etc until they're done

#spoilers message I suppose the current "finished" state of the Spiteful Enchant will be seen until SSO. It could have used some nice polishing or some UI for the bullet count but it works fine for now as its inside dev, mostly similar to this teaser but with bugfixes and balance tweaks

[silk notch]

wait, you are green now???

[hasty hawk]

yep, quit for the time being, may or may not return

it all depends on several circumstances of which many I do not have control of

Did I talk about the other ranger enchant while I was still dev?

if yes I could talk more about it

if no well til SSO is out i guess

i did talk about it but didnt reveal much

anyways the enchant also works with Holdouts like Starmada

made sure it worked together with some other more experienced devs cuz for some reason my first attempt crashed with Starmada and worked fine with others for some reason

but thats all I can say since I aint dev anymore

the vfx is simplistic but it didnt need to be very flashy for both enchants

its not like they are completely new weapons rather than something that several weapons can use

[dull heart]

That's a bit of a silly take

other devs know what I add but it doesn't make it less surprising to those who don't know

[silk notch]

true, but my real point is, the day before it's released should be a "wait and see" rather than "someone is still developing something"

[wide wadi]

Yharium in development soon

[native thistle]

SSO NEVER

the evil shadow exoblade weapon looks crazy
cant wait for the update it comes with

[lavish otter]

I know this is a bit old by now, but it makes a fair enough point! Hell, it'd be catastrophic for the development process if Silksong had a DLC set to release next year...good thing that's not happening, but imagine

[deft lily]

True...

[frail owl]

meow

[fierce nebula]

meow

[shut ridge]

Guys there’s no way the silksong dlc comes out before sso right

[valid crypt]

its possible

[versed heart]

No confirmation on when either of them will release, nor do we have a good idea of roughly when they probably will, so it seems possible

[modern grove]

Can't wait for sea of sorrows and deltarune chapter 5 to be released on the same day

[shell sapphire]

[dense sundial]

for now i trust sea of sorrows more because silksong itself actually released

even if it's somehow not next year, i trust it in general and am happy to keep waiting because silksong goes incredibly hard

[short slate]

we have no reason to not trust them on deadlines yet tbf

so they were probably pretty confident if they already gave the year

but you never know ❤️

[dense sundial]

could only take a few months if it's the pharloom bay and lab stuff

[fathom girder]

TC has mentioned that silksong had way more stuff already planned before they released it

but decided to make it as DLC

[dense sundial]

bay is practically finished anyway

[fathom girder]

so whatever deadlines they got are probably trustworthy

[short slate]

i hope coral forest make some sort of comeback 💔

some of the teased images and videos of it were so beautiful

[dense sundial]

tc says it would kill the narrative the game lays out if coral forest was still alive

[short slate]

it makes sense why they cut it from the base game but imo they can still incorporate it into dlc

[valid crypt]

how to delay sso for another month

[lyric trellis]

SSO better be out by then…

[fathom girder]

it won't

[molten grove]

[lean relic]

[fringe quiver]

[hot knot]

all them gotta be files

[fringe quiver]

quite unfortunate

ancient ogscule death laser will be part of the next update though

so that one is appropriate

[lapis oak]

War Thunder my favorite Terraria mod

such a classic

[mystic eagle]

My favourite new Terraria mod, Calamity

[hot pebble]

I blinked! What happened?!

[dusk bronze]

same thing that's been happening since october

absolutely nothing

[hot pebble]

Ok

[native thistle]

Always bet on nothing

[barren nacelle]

I know what this is 😈

[pulsar cobalt]

no u dont

erases ur mind

[barren nacelle]

What are we talking about

[pulsar cobalt]

we r talking about updates i think

[barren nacelle]

Updates for what

Who are you again?

[pulsar cobalt]

im your best friend

: D

[barren nacelle]

Oh okay :3

Let’s play video games and eat candy and frolic

[bleak pond]

anyone have a general idea when the update is coming out

[misty wren]

no

[bleak pond]

my friend just bought terraria and we were wondering if we should just wait for the update before we run a playthrough

[misty wren]

most likely sometime next year

just rip it and go

[bleak pond]

ah i see

[desert garnet]

Make your friend to play vanilla first

[hasty hawk]

next year

[hasty hawk]

play vanilla first

[desert garnet]

Dont throw him straight into modded without any knowledge

Its just not fun

[wise bolt]

:3c

[drowsy reef]

How’s the insanity today

[lavish otter]

Surprisingly tame, actually

[sick lotus]

Play vanilla before playing modded

I guess you could play modded first but I heavily recommend the base game first, you'll understand things better that way.

[amber egret]

oh what the heck is this

spinnin my ball around

[fringe quiver]

thats a fables item

its not even for calamity idk why it was posted here 😭

its a desert scourge drop from fables

[amber egret]

why does it do 80 damage when real far away

or, 35

[fringe quiver]

does more damagae based on air time if i had to guess

so when you're really close it does less

[amber egret]

is it melee or rogue

it looks melee but also rogue

[fringe quiver]

its not rogue because rogue dosent exist in fables

[amber egret]

huh

[hard hearth]

r*gue

[amber egret]

is it just gone or

[fringe quiver]

its not added to begin with

[amber egret]

plink sfx

is there just four classes or is there another one because every mod needs to add a new class or it dies

[fringe quiver]

no

there is no new class

its just the 4 vanilla ones

[hard hearth]

realistically

[fringe quiver]

https://calamityfables.wiki.gg/wiki/Torn_Electrosac

torn electrosac is just a melee weapon

[hard hearth]

vanilla terraria just needs ranger fr fr every other can either btfo or get converted to ranged

😊

[buoyant pulsar]

what happens if u use it in mid air

[fringe quiver]

:idk:

[bleak pond]

honestly i wouldve but the entire rest of the group only plays calamity including me, and it would be really boring to go back to vanilla just to beat it once and then go back to calamity

it would be easier to teach him the game through calamity because we all know it way better

training bro for infernum💔

[drowsy reef]

Strongly advise against this

Maybe frame it like you’re doing one more vanilla playthrough before the update

Idk

[hasty hawk]

absolutely do fucking not play inf with him until the guy beats death mode

and do not try death before rev ofc

[tropic jolt]

currently death and rev are about the same difficulty

there's barely any difference

[hard hearth]

death makes you die more like its in the name

[tropic jolt]

thats true

[drowsy reef]

I feel like one boss is drastically more annoying on Death but I can’t remember which

[tropic jolt]

the largest rev to death change I can remember is astrum deus requires you to kill both worms

[final pine]

make him play master death so that infernum will be an eventual mercy

[tropic jolt]

[wide wadi]

Mr white what do you think of yharim resprite

[sick lotus]

Yharim doesn't have a sprite...

[wide wadi]

The big bird

Jungle bird

[sick lotus]

That's Yharon

Whose name is just Yharim plus dragon.

[wide wadi]

I can’t disagree with that

[rich ginkgo]

when will the reddit humor emojis be replaced

decade old pngs

[wide wadi]

Never

[tribal isle]

Never

[tropic jolt]

calling it reddit humor just makes me think you hate fun

[hushed hazel]

when we get a good reason to probably

not exactly like we're starved for slots

[rich ginkgo]

it’s a joke lol

[tropic jolt]

[wide wadi]

Dang you fooled me

[tropic jolt]

can we call it draedon humor instead

[wide wadi]

How about crabulon humor

[hot knot]

fables thingy but i guess it applies

[raw trellis]

Hellooo I have a silly question cause i'm bad at keeping up with updates.. https://youtu.be/x6M7XRgp5g0?si=7r_G5lTXjKO9FQPJ Is this update showcased already out or is it just a showcase, i'm not sure

[tropic jolt]

just a showcase

[raw trellis]

okay thank you

[tropic jolt]

the update won't be out for a little while longer

The sprite is cool but the orange filter over the screen really takes away from the colors

[azure oak]

orange filter will be obliterated with the resprite / rework

[lone echo]

this message is discslop

[wooden blade]

They'll defo change it to make it red and less eye burning like we got rn

[azure oak]

it just won't be a thing afaik

[lean relic]

no more shader for yharon

funny how providence was going around with ai piss filter for the longest time

why did they change spoiler talk to update talk? Unless the update is upon us, very soon.

[stone fiber]

Because people thought spoilers meant things from the current game

[woeful pagoda]

[wide wadi]

So you got a new spoiler for us

Show us a new weapon rework

I see that this changed from spoiler talk to update talk

Finally, less confused people coming in here with lategame content

calamity soil talk

[valid crypt]

The soil is tall?

[tribal salmon]

Why is my calamity version stuck at 2.0.5 on TMOD despite there being a new one available

[desert garnet]

tmod trying to be funny

uninstall and install calamity

or verify integrity of your files

[dense sundial]

I thought nothing ever happens

[hasty hawk]

Maybe wait til the 22nd

something may happen

or not

i am not clairvoyant

[dusk bronze]

is it the mid october spoiler

[hard hearth]

22

[lean relic]

[modern grove]

The 22nd of December this year is going to be very specific, because it's the first and only time in history when the calendar would look like this: 22/22/22. Share this if you love Jesus!

[lyric trellis]

Always bet on 22

Hi Cyver user.

[tropic jolt]

Hi Umbara user.

do you think calamity mod needs more worm bosses?

[deft lily]

Maybe.

[shut ridge]

I also think we need more worm bosses

I mean more is better right?

[tropic jolt]

yes

[deft lily]

Yes.

[tropic jolt]

[modern grove]

In my head LC's long mask actually contains his long ass cartoony nose

Same type of nose as Spamton and Tenna have

[fringe quiver]

usopp one piece

in the context of calamity i like to think he heas a freaky dragon snout

like insides his robes hes just a like horribly mutated mix of a human and a dragon

[dusk bronze]

ooh that sounds so sick

[lapis oak]

wat we talking

oh Cultist

[modern grove]

I wonder what's funnier for vanilla context, LC looking like a homeless man or him actuall being super handsome and luxurious

[steep path]

Plot twist there's no mask that's just what his face looks like

[valid crypt]

Plot twist LC is moonlord underneath

[modern grove]

I think it's not super original I don't like that idea I think

It depends

[cunning sequoia]

theres another very marginally smaller mask underneath

except the mask is actually his face and changes into like a squid mouth

[hot pebble]

I blinked! What happened?!

[tribal isle]

Don’t even blink dawg

[lavish otter]

Long ass blinks

[modern grove]

1.4.5 tomorrow

[hot pebble]

[solar sandal]

When we eventually get to confront Yharim, I hope he says ‘Yharim’ before all of his attacks
Like Yharim Punch, Yharim Kick, Yharim Laser
That would make him very intimidating and cool I think

[dusk bronze]

[misty wren]

yharim punch with the same inflection as falcon punch

[solar sandal]

Yharim Auric Pile Driver

Phase 2 just turns into him doing Auric Tesla-powered WWE moves

Don’t underestimate him, you really don’t wanna get hit by the Yharim Folding Chair Smackdown

[dusk bronze]

when auric roada roller

[solar sandal]

That’s the phase 3 transition

[modern grove]

yharim bitchslap turbo attack!!!

i hope yharim can turn into a drill mid air to deal some nasty damage

or use his plume like a whip

or even better a grappling hook

[steep path]

That's fair but I just really like plague doctor designs that are just Bird
Kinda like (we don't know what's under his face either but I like to think there's just Nothing)

[modern grove]

i think him being a bird can be fun

raven head beneath this mask

[silk terrace]

all the bosses should be reworked into worm bosses actually

[vivid hemlock]

[hard copper]

may i introduce you to

i did a playthrough with this, it was glorious

[lavish otter]

Are the worms wormier?

[hard copper]

yeah they have multiple heads

[lavish otter]

Hell yeah

[silk terrace]

i need to actually do a terraria playthrough of some kind again

i just have an issue with wanting to wait until something major happens with calamity and then just doing another calamity playthrough

[lavish otter]

Kinda same, since I've already played up to post-ML

I wanna replay up to that point when SSO releases, and then I want to see if I can wait to fight the Exo Mechs until after they get a rework

[fringe quiver]

handsome squidward face under the mask

[native thistle]

All I want for calamity, is changelogs

[lavish otter]

Too bad, Crabulon rework

[solar sandal]

You say that like it’s a negative
Never a bad time for more crab content

[modern grove]

Crabulon got reworked into Truffle bossfight

[sinful dagger]

Is there a release date for v2.1.0?

[vivid hemlock]

nope

[modern grove]

Truffle shifts into giant monstrous form and fights you

His iconic catchphrase: I'm the Fun Guy!

[solar sandal]

He uses bat ai and has 70% DR

[modern grove]

Still better than current crabulon with mourning wood ai

[valid crypt]

Vanilla ai and vanilla projectiles

[modern grove]

Mourning wood movements + golem jumps

Truly a boss of all time

[solar sandal]

And hexed branch speed

[wise bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/caterpillar-bug-insect-wiggling-gif-16266253

[deft lily]

[halcyon seal]

I think he’d be more like a squid face tbh

But maybe I’m being too vanilla pilled

[dusk bronze]

there won't be a date ever

[valid crypt]

Even after its come out it wont have a specific date

[lyric trellis]

True it’s never coming out

[dusk bronze]

it'll release by one line of code per day

[hasty tangle]

@ devs just delete all the line breaks and make the entire calamity code one line

[halcyon seal]

Remove all comments for 100% pure code

[deft lily]

Delete the mod.

Millions are forced to touch grass.

[solar sandal]

Toby Fox design philosophy

[hollow harness]

1 gazillion case break statements

[mortal mirage]

have they said anything bout how the updates going?

[buoyant pulsar]

just publish the update in its current state at exactly this moment in time without finishing anything ur working on

[white vigil]

All the time

[dusk bronze]

spriter hell

other than that it's good

[amber egret]

thisd be great actually

[lavish otter]

I was about to say that's technically real for the auric patrons, but come to think of it, I'm not sure how those early access builds work

[misty wren]

its not

auric early betas dont have like turbo unfinished content in them

they might have unbalanced content but not majorly unfinished content

thats part of why, relative to whats been happening, the last auric beta was kinda small, theres so much intertwined shit that when some of it isnt finished you have to cut out a lot more than just the unfinished stuff

[dusk bronze]

it's literally just DoG iirc

[misty wren]

no there was more in the beta than just dog but that was the biggest thing

[vivid hemlock]

dog, his weapons, and uhhhh a couple other things probably

[lavish otter]

Ahhh, that makes enough sense! Especially since (as far as I know, at least) part of why they do early access builds in the first place is for playtesting purposes, so it probably wouldn't do much if they released half-baked stuff into those builds

[lyric trellis]

Playing the beta to experience Ram dash nerfs 🔥

[buoyant pulsar]

the devious ⤴️

[vivid hemlock]

the marker line 😨

[lyric trellis]

Hallucinations

[lavish otter]

I thought it was two separate images for a second, and was kind of confused

Also niii- wait, ram dashes are getting nerfed? I guess I'm not surprised since those are notoriously busted, but huh

[vivid hemlock]

isnt it like really minute for some of them

[lavish otter]

I have no idea

[strong isle]

Not a great idea

Releasing incomplete content

[hasty tangle]

whaaaaat?

when has that eeeeever gone wrong?

[rapid swan]

never tamper with game development bro 💔

[dusk bronze]

ankh has been removed from the line

[lavish otter]

Ah yeah, I did know about that

Which explais how it's a slight nerf, considering the Ankh Shield (presumably) doesn't add much

[rapid swan]

ankh shield and tracers are noob traps

[grave geyser]

ankh is fine

it has fairly notable advantages over gts

[rapid swan]

its okay but i've seen dudes run it until they can get asgardian aegis

[grave geyser]

do you mean asgards

[lavish otter]

Ankh is nice because it gives knockback immunity, but apparently Asgard's Valor is still going to have that even without the Ankh

[rapid swan]

like half of the buffs youre immune to are from mobs insignificant in late hm

[solar sandal]

I use ankh and deep diver until I beat the mechs, I thought that was typical

[hollow harness]

The absence is more noticeable than the presence of immunities

[rapid swan]

how does ankh help with the mechs

[lyric trellis]

No knockback and some defense at least

Which yeah that’s also regular cobalt shield

But ankh has the other utility for early hardmode too

[wide wadi]

I always use the shield of cuthulu

[dusk bronze]

ragebait

[solar sandal]

Knockback immunity
Once you get it you never get rid of it

[wide wadi]

Snailrook always says I’m ragebaiting

But I use the shield of lulu after I beat the eye of cthululu

[rapid swan]

eh maybe its just me running low def sets and getting two shot

[deft lily]

I agree.
People should put even more pressure then they already have on the developers to get it released.

What could possibly go wrong?

[halcyon seal]

i have ozzatron's family held hostage. i need the update released and 200,000 yharimbucks rn

[solar sandal]

No don’t ask for that! After post-war Yharim became a washed up loser living in his auric tesla trailer in the dragon aerie, yharimbucks plummeted in value

[hasty tangle]

the dangers of fiat money

shouldve switched to exo coin ages ago

[solar sandal]

Exactly
Draedon knows how to manage an economy

You really gonna trust money from a guy who made getting dipped in lava the whole planet’s problem
Bro shoulda had terraspark boots

[misty wren]

we need to return to the auric standard

[solar sandal]

Idk man, with Yharon dead for like the billionth time, auric bars are basically worth their weight in chicken nuggets and smoldering feathers

[misty wren]

yeah because the woke left keeps killing him

[solar sandal]

What we need is for someone to bolster the job market in the dragon aerie, theres a lot of money to be made in alternate realms
Anyone got the Nameless Deity’s contact? He’d probably be able to help out with that

[deft lily]

I regret to inform you that this bit is no longer funny.

Changing topics.

When SSO.

[lofty valley]

SSO when it becomes profitable enough

[solar sandal]

SSO? In this economy?

[wicked temple]

sso tomorrow

[wide wadi]

No

Never sso

[dull heart]

haha these people think there was ever an SSO

SSO actually stands for
-sNot
-sReal
-o

[fathom girder]

shit

[wide nova]

[fathom girder]

Super
Super
Obfuscated

there we go

SHUT UP

[wicked temple]

sso stands for

[deft lily]

It's all a massive scam orchestrated by the WOKE radical LEFT to give Calamity devs money.

[lavish otter]

Dammit, I just had an article show up on my browser that was called "Stupid ways Americans are WASTING their money", and that would've been perfect for this

[deft lily]

Lmao.

[deft lily]

Let me guess...
Microsoft Edge?

[terse dew]

suspicious sussy omongus

[lavish otter]

I think I'm on a Microsoft account, but the browser is Firefox, so I don't know what's having more of an influence

[deft lily]

Ah.
Yeah I don't use Firefox.

[lavish otter]

It is pretty funny though, I just get a new selection of random clickbait articles every time I open a new tab

[deft lily]

Most news articles are clickbait these days.

Esp if it's bad news.

[lavish otter]

Oh nice, here it is

(I got the name completely wrong)

[deft lily]

Probably LLM generated by a right wing conservative group that tries to blame the cost of living crisis in this country on ordinary people instead of the government.

[lavish otter]

It's definitely a mixed bag, like what even is this?

Why would I 😭

[deft lily]

Yeah definitely LLM generated.

[dull heart]

??? Weird title

why would this week specifically matter for most people with addictions more than others

I guess that's the clickbait

[deft lily]

I would be severely disappointed if anyone actually click on these articles.

And spent valuable time reading them.

[hollow harness]

Its called sensationalism and the language used in news titles incite clickbait or omit important details to support certain ideals that favour the news agency or the government in the first place

[deft lily]

Yep.

[polar tide]

bangs my fucking scepter on the ground CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THE GRAPH WITH ALL THE SSO ENEMIES ITS IMPORTANT

[twin juniper]

This one probably

[wise bolt]

goated ty

[polar tide]

THANK YOU! 🤗 💞

[fathom girder]

THIS PLEASES THE GRAND WIZARD. YOU MAY GO NOW.

[deft lily]

I wonder how much of this is scrapped.

Unless none of it is.

[fringe quiver]

We have no reason to belive any of it is

Tobias left the dev team but he hasn't said anything about pulling his sprites yet, if he were to do so some stuff would have to be either remade or scrapped but that hasn't happened yet so

[deft lily]

I see.

[fathom girder]

SSO cancelled

[lavish otter]

It's always hard to tell, because sometimes it's less that the sprites were pulled, and more that they weren't finished (even if the reference sprites were, the associated animations might not've been) and no one wanted to finish them

[deft lily]

Either way I hope whatever Tobias' next endeavors are that they go well

He's way too good for tMod lmao.

[lavish otter]

Ah yeah, agreed there! Though granted, I feel that way for ᵐᵒˢᵗ ᵒᶠ the devs that've left the team at one point or another

[deft lily]

People with a lot of creative passion and talent I think would benefit from looking beyond tMod as a whole. Like say, taking on their own projects and doing their own thing.

But that's just me.

[fathom girder]

Make terraria 2...

[deft lily]

Terraria 2 will happen when I'm on my death bed because Re-Logic cannot move on 😭 .

They care about their game too much.

tMod will probably be long dead by then too.

[lavish otter]

I don't think it'd just happen like that, but I think it'd be really funny if there was all of this stuff with Terraria's development, and that one cancelled spinoff, and the concepts for a sequel, but then the next thing Re-Logic did after 1.4.5 was release an entirely unrelated game

[deft lily]

By the time it actually gets around to releasing though I would've probably moved on from Terraria by then.

[terse dew]

I wouldn't call yourself that if I were you

[lavish otter]

I'll admit, that's actually one reason why I really like that these games are just continuing to get built on over time! Because I'll play them for a while, then I'll move on a bit and start playing other games, and then I get re-motivated when they get batches of new content

[terse dew]

👎

[lavish otter]

Also wait- I didn't even think of that, pff

[fathom girder]

Carny is the grand wizard, I merely speak on their behalf

[deft lily]

Yeah.

Like for the first time in like 2 years I started playing vanilla Minecraft again a couple of weeks ago.

Lots of new stuff.

[terse dew]

That title is problematic actually

👎

[fathom girder]

Take it up with them, then

[lavish otter]

Funny enough, that actually hasn't happened with Minecraft for a while, I don't think I've really had the motivation to dedicate time to a world since like...the pale garden update

[deft lily]

Well granted in my case I'm playing with friends on a server.
The game is definitely more fun with friends then single player.

[lavish otter]

I think the caves and cliffs duo was the peak when it came to making an entirely new experience out of the game

[lavish otter]

Ah yeah, that's a fair point actually! I haven't been able to do multiplayer in a while

Or well, I could have, I just need to socialize-

[dull heart]

I haven't played vanilla mc since like

1.17.1

back when I made an epic skyblock datapack

[deft lily]

Yeah the caves and cliffs update was when Minecraft peaked tbh. At least in it's modern form.

Every other update since then has been hot ass.

Okay, well.
I liked Tricky Trials

[dull heart]

I think my favorite part of that datapack might have been how I made turtles / dolphins obtainable

[lavish otter]

I wouldn't say that, but at the very least, i don't think any update since then has fully transformed the experience like Caves and Cliffs did

[dull heart]

fishing in the end could reel in live aquatic creatures

[dull heart]

And tbh the new drop cycle seems like we won't ever have an update like 1.8, 1.9, 1.13, 1.14, 1.16, etc ever again

[lavish otter]

Yeaahhh, I wouldn't be surprised! Especially considering that they're focusing more on smaller and more frequent updates than larger ones with wider scopes

...wonderifthatmakesmethinkofsomething-

[dull heart]

The small feature drops are awesome in a lot of ways but also gives me no hope in the end ever becoming better

because the amount of content you'd need would be silly to add in drop sized groups

[lavish otter]

To clarify, that's overall going to be a good thing for Calamity most likely, I just thought it was funny when I was reading back through that message

[dull heart]

the big thing that differentiates the cal future goal and the Minecraft drops is that the drops seem very specifically built to kill large updates

The cal plan is just that the larger stuff gets done in parallel with other updates

[lavish otter]

And y'know, when you really think about it, SSO is kind of Calamity's Caves and Cliffs
(And yeah, that makes a decent amount of sense!)

[dull heart]

so like distortion might be worked on while 3 other smaller updates are done and published

[deft lily]

Doze, if you could answer this.

Are there other boss reworks planned for SSO besides DoG, DS, and BoC.

[lavish otter]

Oooohhh- y'know, I've been wondering how that'd be handled, because yeah, it's kind of hard to imagine the Distortion being released in parts

Like...maybe I could see the part of it where you'd presumably fight DoG being released before the more explorable parts of the realm, but aside from that

[dull heart]

i cannot answer that

for a couple reasons

[lavish otter]

Is one of them that plans aren't 100% concrete for what will and won't be added?

[dull heart]

one being what defines a "rework" and also that major content spoilers like boss reworks are supposed to be discussed with the team before sharing (although a lot of the time this does not happen)

[lavish otter]

Oh okay, that also makes sense

[deft lily]

Yeah that makes sense.

Ig technically the DoG "rework" is more of a "refresh" to make the current fight not suck hot ass.
