I'm guessing you mean both resprite and rework?

dense sundial
#

hallam posts monthly update progress reports in the redemption server

#

0.8 is actually getting quite close to done lately

halcyon seal
#

Neat

plush carbon
#

Just do not ever use other-mod-talk there

dense sundial
#

there are also regular minor updates with a random assortment of changes; this month's progress patch actually reworked a boss

halcyon seal
#

Ooh, which one

dense sundial
#

king slayer 3

halcyon seal
#

Last time I played redemption was like early 2024

pulsar cobalt
#

including this one

dense sundial
#

and once you beat him you can ask him to help you fight moon lord

high scaffold
#

Calamity update talk? More like general 2

pulsar cobalt
#

(well actually this ones is more dead than toxic but whatever)

plush carbon
#

MoR other mod talk is just an echo chamber

halcyon seal
#

Love that

dense sundial
#

i like how it's specifically moon lord because vanilla ml totally deserves it

halcyon seal
#

I like that pacifist is getting actual content

pulsar cobalt
#

fuck vanilla ml

halcyon seal
#

Last time I played it had basically nothing

grave geyser
dense sundial
#

ooh yeah have you fought calavia

halcyon seal
#

Is that the knight girl

dense sundial
#

yes

halcyon seal
#

Think so

plush carbon
#

They called the calamity website ChatGPT lol

#

Actual insane server

grave geyser
#

I saw so many people praising alch changes in here I go to a different server and people are calling it "weird and kinda mediocre"

plush carbon
#

The thing about MoR is they pretend to be super wholesome

dense sundial
#

okay there are like a few specific users who are specifically in that channel a lot to give it that atmosphere

pulsar cobalt
#

this is every tmod server

high scaffold
#

Honestly, we need a potion mixing mod

halcyon seal
#

We need Botania

high scaffold
#

So I can throw alchlite into the trash for good

buoyant pulsar
plush carbon
#

They dont like addressing the problems with themselves so that they can keep the wholesome chungus illusion

dense sundial
#

is this something you have talked to them about

plush carbon
#

I've directly messaged Hallam before

#

I've talked to John

#

John dismissed me entirely and Halm never responded

halcyon seal
#

Ok with all due respect can we not bring up other server drama in this chat

plush carbon
#

John kinda treat everythin i said like a joke

dense sundial
plush carbon
#

You're right i can move this elsewhere

#

Cause you did ask

#

But i apologise

halcyon seal
#

It’s fine

dense sundial
#

talking behind their backs won't accomplish anything but make you a little angrier

plush carbon
#

This is true.

dense sundial

save it for them directly

Do you think crabulon would make good crab sticks?

pulsar cobalt

i dont

#

#

Are we realy getting new boss UI in brainstorm?

#

Or is the document lying

lean relic
#

That is not coming in brainstorm

high scaffold
#

Then doc editors should probably mark it as not coming in next update

plush carbon
#

Naughty doc editors

halcyon seal
#

It depends on how good glowing mushrooms are

pulsar cobalt
#

can we blame kiri for this

lean relic
halcyon seal
#

We know they’re safe for potions but there’s definitely some alchemy going on so idk if that translates to edibility

plush carbon

Flip a coin if heads blame Kiri if tails blame Vanillin

Are fishing rods reworks coming in brainstorm or is it naughty editors again?

The "weapons" section of the doc is going to shrink so much after 2.1

halcyon seal
#

The weapons section is gonna be like 2 whips and some lint I found in Amidias’s pocket

Sneaky murasama rework

#

2.1 will be "the game overall feels nicer" update

Is muramasa rework coming in SSO?

I wonder if vanila devs are ever gonna change it

buoyant pulsar

#

719 - Non-legendary 10% boss drops are now regular drops or crafted.

Saw this in the changelog, would this mean it'd be easier to get The Community, for instance?

high scaffold
#

I think they are getting changed again to be special condition drops

thick parrot

just want to confirm before I get my hopes up

#

o

I see....

thats ur answer

high scaffold
thick parrot

o

#

it is there

#

nvm

pulsar cobalt
stone fiber
pulsar cobalt

as the log states theyll be crafted or normal 25/33 drops

No armor changes in 2.1 whatsoever

fathom girder

(stratus armor is a thing now)

pulsar cobalt
#

totally

grave geyser
high scaffold
#

Whats undocumented doesnt exist

#

Happy to see that calamity will eventually ditch almost every "all class helmets" sets

#

And make then 2-3 classes

#

Helmeted

#

Like hm ore

dense sundial
#

...granted, they did collectively rework every thrown flail

high scaffold
#

And Im still pushing for rogue hallow and chlorophyte helmets

dense sundial
#

idk what their precedents are for doing these things

stone fiber
#

Hardmode ores were technically all class helmets at the time of their release XD
(At least, I'm pretty sure they were thonk)

halcyon seal

#

did i ever show the final stratus sphere visuals here

#

i don't think i id

these people are hitting me with the erm actually

high scaffold
#

In vanila those are all class helmets sets

stone fiber
dull heart
fathom girder
#

okay

dull heart
#

i want to add one but that requires spriting power

halcyon seal
#

Doze is the stratus hook releasing in brainstorm

grave geyser
#

why did you think stratus armor was real the only thing doze said about it is that he wanted to make it

dense sundial
#

we have bloodflare and omega blue and whatever else is nearby, i think we're okay

halcyon seal
#

Bloodflare is eventually getting le kill so I get why it’d happen

lyric trellis
#

Are there any flails that aren’t getting updated in 2.1 besides the Solar Eruption clones and Dragon Pow

dense sundial
#

like bloodflare will only be 2 or 3 classes

grave geyser
#

honestly I dont mind omniclass armors but I get why they're disliked

high scaffold
fathom girder
#

that was the point yes

#

you 🤓

halcyon seal
dense sundial
#

i just think armor should be variable really

halcyon seal
#

They make sense for pre hm but once wof is dead I’d rather have more specific sets

dense sundial
#

have omniclass and multiclass and monoclass and classless

royal garnet
halcyon seal
#

Except for stuff like omega blue or reaver those are awesome

high scaffold
#

How solar eruption would even be considered as flail?

#

Its an expanding ladder

dense sundial
#

solar eruption is a """flail"""

halcyon seal
grave geyser
#

lemmie put it this way I guess
I think if both god slayer and silva had 5 helmets each and were just retooled to be a bit different from each other I think that is a net positive for the mod

high scaffold
lyric trellis
dense sundial
#

for solar eruption clones i like "whipsword"

grave geyser
high scaffold
#

A flail is basicaly ball and chain

#

Solar eruption has neither

fathom girder
#

it's considered to be a flail

#

idk what to tell ya

lyric trellis
#

Calamity gets a bit loose with the term

grave geyser
#

solar eruption is technically considered an "other melee" in vanilla

high scaffold
#

True

grave geyser
#

but ultimately the distinction is meaningless

#

they can be flails if they want it really doesnt matter

high scaffold
#

Solar eruptions works by criss cross parts connected with bearings

#

You move 2 handles together and it extends

#

Works by the same principle as that one children toy

grave geyser
#

I would also like to point out
vanilla does not agree with you for the same reasons
it agrees with you because vanilla classifies melee weapons by how they fire and deal damage (so for example starlight is technically an "other melee" rather than a shortsword because only the projectiles do damage)

high scaffold
stone fiber
glad ferry
dull heart
#

just u

high scaffold
#

Vanila wiki calls solar eruption a whipsword

glad ferry
#

Nah there's definitely two eyes

high scaffold
#

Chat, are yall on team daybreak or team solar eruption?

stone fiber
high scaffold
#

How is daybreak even a melee weapon?

#

Also reminder that The Burning Sky is a melee weapon

grave geyser
#

yes

fathom girder
#

I'm team daybreak personally

high scaffold
#

Are there plans to do something with it?

fathom girder
#

I like the debuff and I can just hang back and huck it

grave geyser
#

why would burning sky change

high scaffold
fathom girder
#

no no

#

daybreak's debuff is similar to the stardust cell's little infection

grave geyser
#

daybreak can stack the debuff several times

fathom girder
#

it stacks

high scaffold
#

Yeah, but daybreak get outclassed immediately after moonlord while solar eruption still have some ground

grave geyser
#

both are outclassed immediately

high scaffold
#

Solar eruption is zeniths little brother

grave geyser
#

there is no reason to continue using either once you have star wrath or zenith

high scaffold
#

Yeah but solar eruption is just that tiny bit more relevant then daybreak

grave geyser
#

is it though
I think you're making stuff up

high scaffold
#

I wish there was more content between cultist and moon lord

#

You make cool new weapons to immediately throw them out after

high scaffold
#

And I just like it more

grave geyser
high scaffold
#

I realy feel like 3rd option for each pillar is needed

#

We are getting a stardust whip so there is a possibility

#

Why does 1 void dye needs 5 luminite bars?

#

And why are they bars and not ingots

grave geyser
#

because john redigit decided as such when he was making the game 15 years ago

high scaffold
#

Is it yet another mandela effect?

grave geyser
#

no mandela effects need to be widespread

halcyon seal
#

Why were strange plants moved to hardmode

grave geyser
#

honestly who the fuck knows

high scaffold
#

Also, chlorophyte in chlorophyte extractinator looks diffirent from all other chlorophyte

#

Live with this

grave geyser
#

makes sense
item was added like a decade after chlorophyte was

high scaffold
#

I think they eventually gonna refresh all old sprites

#

Remember the jungle slime and hornets resprites if dont belive me

grave geyser
#

its a race between respriting the entire game and them finally deciding to make this update the last one for real this time

high scaffold
#

I think they wont stop updating untill the entire game is polished to perfection

why did you make this

yeah that uhh seems

lapis oak

also how is this thing gonna be obtained in "preboss"?

#

what's the point 😔

fathom girder

Why not

#

Why did he make the acropack

amber egret

is this an autoaimer

he did not make Acropack

no

amber egret

fathom girder

Sorry why did the conglomerate make acropack

lapis oak
#

especially in preboss

amber egret
#

well yea but most enemies are quite big

lapis oak
#

preboss?

amber egret
#

EoC, KS, DS

#

all really big enemies

lapis oak
#

that's just boss

#

and big enemies = less use for pointer

amber egret
#

you can focus on dodging

#

because Thats How An Autoaim Weapon Works

lapis oak
#

again

#

it's not autoaim

amber egret
#

automatic targetting

grave geyser
#

oh wait its an accessory
and it has to be near your mouse to autolock
ok thats less egregious

lapis oak
#

what

#

ok I didn't know

#

is that a Controller feature?

high scaffold
#

Is it a hot take to think that while some parts of terraria are greatly polished most base mechanics need whole ass sandpaper to improve?

grave geyser
lapis oak
#

ok so it's gonna lock your cursor when it's close enough to an enemy

#

ahh

amber egret
#

Allows automatic targeting of enemies
Press N to cycle through targets near your mouse

halcyon seal
#

The imperfections are why I love this game

amber egret
#

its an aim assist i guess is the better word

lapis oak
#

never used controller lock before

grave geyser
#

aim assist yeah

lapis oak
#

is it good

amber egret
#

do you like aim assist

high scaffold
#

Another hot take, vanila should revisit its old bossfights

lapis oak
#

is it like the infamous Apex aim assist yes?

modern grove
#

ai assisted accessory

halcyon seal
lapis oak
#

I've heard that aim assist in Apex Legends is disgusting is it like that for vanilla Terraria

#

literally the game plays itself for you

#

don't have to do shit

rancid pagoda
#

no, it literally just attacks towards the target's current position, no predictive aiming at all

lapis oak
#

a

rancid pagoda
#

so if it's moving fast it's not very good

lapis oak
#

so I gotta be mindful of how I move then

#

so the bullets will actually hit

#

ok that's that's

#

that's cool I think

#

yeah

#

fine I'll add it to the chart it's cool now

also why

Would you, say, make Starfury stars only appear on hit?

in calamity, a lot of rogue thrown weapons were able to swap between melee and rogue back when rogue was new

this idea of yours reminds me of that to a degree

How would I make daybreak actualy melee... Hmmmm...

so starfury was basically a magic weapon

high scaffold
#

I have a great idea for enchanted sword
Charged sword will be able to perform either of 2 attacks: if the enemy is near the player charged attack is similar to one of the true excalibur; if no enemy nearby works like vanila

modern grove
#

Class inconsistency issue is overblown by cal, in vanilla it's generally pretty consistent

#

Not super omega consistent

#

There are outliers

halcyon seal
modern grove

But it's fine its normal and doesn't really feel out of place

lapis oak

I do not care about inconsistentcy at all tbh

rancid pagoda

I don't really care too but I think a lot of people are cal or generally tmod poisoned and project modded issues onto vanilla when it's not the case here

The term true melee is a bit silly and pointless anyway

In vanilla at least most melee weapons already perform a lot better in close range. Even the projectile swords

There are also some true melee swords rework

I wonder

Are boomerangs should realy be melee or rogue

Based on the class they work a bit different

But boomerangs dont feel quite melee to say

So probably rogue

They're very much so melee

they were put in the game as melee weapons

So if vanila boomerangs became rogue they would pierce to not be melee

#

i hate to be that guy but respriting dog is the least of the devs priorities rn i think

dull heart
#

dog doesn't need any more changes after 2.1 for a good while

deft lily
#

further reason for people to stop whining about the resprite not happening anytime soon i think

dense sundial
#

i vaguely remember there being some amount of discontent with that design anyway

deft lily
#

^ and this

dense sundial
#

among devs, i mean

deft lily
#

right yeah

dense sundial
#

i honestly hope so

dull heart
#

i don't think dog will be anywhere near the size of that sprite tbh

blazing field
#

Definitely on the part of the team's artists and a fair amount on part of some community members, and while the latter is often like entirely irrelevant this time it seems like the devs and community members more or less shared the same criticisms this time around so

#

Did she just make it that big without any prior discussion or

#

because yeah it seems like it'd be

#

a mess

#

to make work, gameplay wise

dull heart
#

well Fabsol was in charge of bosses so

#

fabsol said yes and it happen

dense sundial
#

i don't think making a worm boss really really big is completely unworkable

dull heart
#

I don't think it is either but I don't think it's a good idea for dog

dense sundial
#

it's just that heart's design was the same

blazing field
#

It's definitely not but it would definitely be a pretty big undertaking and require to design the fight around it

#

Heart's design was basically just HD current yeah

dull heart
#

Making the worm larger slows the pace of the fight

#

And imo dog should be a fast frantic duel to the death

dense sundial
#

dog's design is like the biggest laughingstock i've ever seen
it is in serious need of being redone

dull heart
#

infernum got that part down well for all its mistakes

blazing field
#

While DoG should absolutely still be a giant space worm and the redesign shouldn't change that because it's such a large part of the character's identity it dosen't mean it has to be the same giant space worm

#

because the current giant space worm is kind of a poor reflection of the character and also just extremely boring

deft lily
#

i've shared my own issues with the (probably now scrapped) DoG resprite before here in this channel and don't feel like sharing them again.

What I am tired of seeing though is folks complaining that it's not coming out for a long, long time like 😭

there are plenty of other things to look forward to when it comes to calamity imo.

dull heart
#

the one thing that I agree with is dog having absolutely gigantic mandibles

dense sundial
#

the current giant space worm is more of a flat, abstract, excessively spiky, randomly gemmed, big-mandibled, neon-painted, metal-armored tube that fires lasers

#

that is THE worm stereotype
