how much gamerscore for defeating draedon

jagged cliff
#

What would non-boss achievements even be

lapis oak
#

#assets-needed

jagged cliff
#

Feed a giant clam ashes of calamity

high scaffold
#

Achievements are actualy pretty good for guiding the player wiki free

dusk bronze
#

how clamitous

tribal isle
#

what if we named the update the wormstorm
or thats distortion

valid crypt
jagged cliff
solid coral
#

truly a fandom wiki moment

valid crypt
pseudo vector
jagged cliff
#

Yeah lowkey crafting stations are pretty vague for newer players w/o wiki

high scaffold
#

I will be patiently waiting for calamity player UI

tribal isle
jagged cliff
#

That would be a good achievement for the cosmic anvil

#

or Draedons Forge

tribal isle
#

they should put codebreaker in achievements so people know what the fuck they need to do since the start of the game

jagged cliff
#

A lot of people have their complaints about codebreaker

solid coral
#

truth atom bomb

pseudo vector
#

the codebreaker makes up 2 achievements in the list we have

jagged cliff
#

I still never really touch it since draedon arsenal is shit (right now)

wicked halo
#

Maybe an achievement for the Ark of the Cosmos similar to the Terra Blade achievement?

high scaffold
#

Is heroic damage still planned?

jagged cliff
#

but it will be better in the brainstorm update

wicked halo
solid coral
#

i try to upgrade it throughout the game for immersion but yeah first timers would almost never learn about it

pseudo vector
#

a good few arsenal weapons are getting reworked in BS

dusk bronze
wide wadi
jagged cliff
tribal isle
#

what if they just blatantly told you in chat "craft codebreaker since early game you'll need it" like with vanilla calamity mod music

wide wadi
#

Which. Ones

wicked halo
tribal isle
lapis oak
wicked halo
jagged cliff
#

maybe draedon should approach you once you see the first lab

dusk bronze
jagged cliff
#

and he just loredumps you and tells you to make the codebreaker

lapis oak
wicked halo
#

Wdym?

tribal isle
wicked halo
#

Is this outdated?

high scaffold
#

I understand why there an achievement like obtaining zenith in vanila, because its quite challenging, dont see a reason at add any more specific weapon obtaining achievements

wicked halo
#

Does it have misinfo?

lapis oak
#

I updated it

pseudo vector
wicked halo
#

Oh.

lapis oak
dusk bronze
#

yeah and
why would he just be in the sunken sea lab

high scaffold
jagged cliff
#

I mean it could be part of the wulfrum stuff

#

or like old recordings of draedon

dusk bronze
#

draedon is completely unrelated to wulfrum

jagged cliff
#

I thought he was related to wulfrum

dusk bronze
#

not affiliated

jagged cliff
#

maybe im just using outdated lore

hoary edge
wide wadi
# lapis oak

So every weapon in the game is being redone huh

wicked halo
tribal isle
solid coral
#

“codebreaker? i haven’t heard that name before.”

“focus, T, the lab is just up ahead. you know what that means.”

dusk bronze
jagged cliff
#

John Wulfrum was the apprentice of draedon

#

and he was best friends with draedon until he died

tribal isle
jagged cliff
#

have you not read the lore?

wicked halo
#

Either a YouTuber made it up or people took the Calamity fandom lore seriously.

solid coral
#

wait so what is wulfrum

tribal isle
#

scrap

jagged cliff
#

No ingame lore to it

dusk bronze
#

it's wulfrum

jagged cliff
#

I guess they are self sustaining

wicked halo
#

A cheap scrap metal.

lapis oak
dusk bronze
wicked halo
#

The Beastiary talks about them in detail.

dusk bronze
#

it says this if you read the bestiary

#

yeah

jagged cliff
#

I forgot about that

dusk bronze
#

people should read the bestiary

wicked halo
#

The Beastiary is neglected a lot.

dusk bronze
#

it's good

jagged cliff
#

Im stuck in 1.3

tribal isle
#

you guys think a yharmy soldier ever came up to the guy to shake his hand and then he violently explodes

solid coral
#

i forgot it existed bruh💔

jagged cliff
#

Honestly I wish there was more to the Yharmy

wicked halo
#

Eh Calamity fans have like.

#

Zero reading skills.

dusk bronze
solid coral
#

i will read it now i know

jagged cliff
dusk bronze
#

yharmy

#

the event..

wicked halo
#

The event...

solid coral
#

the.. calamity..

jagged cliff
#

yharmy invasion

dusk bronze
#

✅

limber wren
#

The bestiary is something you see once and you are "oh, I know what it does", and proceed to never use it again. I have to go back to it one day.

deft lily
#

yharmy 🛌

jagged cliff
#

I guess overloaded soldier is technically a former member of the yharmy

solid coral
#

sometimes i open it by accident 💔

dusk bronze
#

the fact almost nobody reads the bestiary makes me very sad
i'm such a huge glazer

jagged cliff
#

but usually you are too overpowered to really care about them

tribal isle
jagged cliff
lapis oak
#

Overloaded Soldier most dangerous enemy in the game

dusk bronze
#

could be soldiers opposing yharim

solid coral
#

i’ve never even gotten the universal pylon, doesn’t it require all entries

dusk bronze
#

the yharmy used arsenal gear

high scaffold
#

Can we have post plantera dungeon enemies that drop mech souls just so fighting mech isnt the only option

jagged cliff
#

thats lowkey stupid

solid coral
#

the yharmy invasion event will drop mech souls, real

jagged cliff
#

lore-wise the mechs are supposed to be an experiment

#

so they have exclusively the souls of warriors

dusk bronze
#

souls of yharim's soldiers

jagged cliff
#

and plantera isn't related to that experiment

dusk bronze
#

specifically

dusk bronze
jagged cliff
#

so we retcon it

dusk bronze
#

still not related in calamity

high scaffold
#

Just a gameplay thing

#

Reason, because

jagged cliff
#

I guess plantera was the god of the dungeon

#

and had the auric dragon soul of dungeons

dusk bronze
#

ture

amber furnace
#

after the current endgame bosses, what boss will be next

jagged cliff
#

Xeroc!!!!

dusk bronze
#

then possibly noxus and xeroc

high scaffold
solid coral
#

uhhh dr eggman

dusk bronze
amber furnace
dusk bronze
#

but likely

jagged cliff
tribal isle
#

I think dr eggman is smarter than draedon

#

cuz metal no diffs every exo mech at the same time

solid coral
#

trueh

high scaffold
#

After defeating Yharim you will be able to play as luigi

tribal isle
#

i think neo metal actually no diffs xeroc

solid coral
#

draedon would melt the chaos emeralds into an exo goo and quench his non existent thirst with it

jagged cliff
#

exoslop

solid coral
#

exoslushie

dusk bronze
#

miracle sludge

tribal isle
#

what if you combined miracle matter and chaos emeralds

high scaffold
#

Elemental mix

jagged cliff
#

chaos matter

solid coral
#

miraculous improvements to all stats..

jagged cliff
#

draedon is lowkey stupid for not being able to throw together a slop of endgame materials

#

yet the terrarian does it casually

solid coral
#

true bro terrarian glaze goes crazy

jagged cliff
#

Draedon has only done these crimes btw

solid coral
#

draedon probably can he just baiting us

jagged cliff
#

Eggmans feats

#

I wonder who wins ?

high scaffold
#

Plot armor

solid coral
#

draedon doesn’t have the master plan

#

dark gaia vs terrarian in future updafe

placid wadi
solid coral

trueth

jagged cliff
high scaffold
#

Also plague is a bioweapon which is a warcrime

tribal isle
#

why didnt draedon just kill yharon to get his soul frags if hes post yharon is draedon stupid

solid coral

dusk bronze
high scaffold

I already played ranger

tribal isle
jagged cliff

How much is the patreon?

dusk bronze
#

auric tier is $50 usd

dusk bronze
jagged cliff
#

I thought that was a joke

#

holy

#

Lowkey reasonable price though

solid coral
#

i will buy it once the one week early build comes

high scaffold
#

I played cal mage, calfargo ranger, will be playing summoner in 1.4.5 and for rogue I will be waiting rework

#

So melee it is

solid coral
#

is that literal or is it still beta atp

jagged cliff
#

Ranger gets a ton of reworks

#

And melee is slop

solid coral

The Galactus Blade also looks cool.

tribal isle

Nope.

amber furnace

every single old duke weapon got reworked, damn

dusk bronze

literally 1 boss

tribal isle

Calamity is like a boss rush post-Moon Lord.

how do u even fix something like that

dusk bronze

more exploration content

tribal isle

play fables or something

valid crypt

More non boss stuff post ml

dusk bronze

eg. the distortion

valid crypt

Like the eventual subworld distortion yeah

solid coral

oh yes

tribal isle
dusk bronze
#

solid coral
#

unrealistically soon year

wicked halo

Calamity fans when they have to do something other than boss fights.

tribal isle
#

yharim by 2077?

dusk bronze
tribal isle
solid coral
#

i love potion grinding and fishing maybe some more buffs post ml

dusk bronze
#

the same reason they're reworking dog now

solid coral
#

fishing update

tribal isle
wicked halo
#

Yes that is the problem.

#

Calamity devs want to make post-Moon Lord have something other than boss fights.

solid coral
#

yeah once your post ml there’s not even that đŸŒŸ

#

unskippable cutscenes post ML, problem solved

tribal isle
#

but instead of saving all the changes for until they have actual content ready to fill up the gaps they just make things more tedious?

gloomy grove
#

odd

dusk bronze
#

what are you talking about

wicked halo
#

They're not doing that?

solid coral
#

what does this mean

gloomy grove
#

what im getting from this convo is that kozz is not happy that the mod is straying away from being boss rush slop?

wicked halo
#

Besides maybe the Crates (which the devs admitted was a major fuck up to do pre-emptively) they're not doing that.

gloomy grove
#

why

dusk bronze
wicked halo
#

Idk.

solid coral
#

bro is a calamity youtuber

valid crypt
solid coral
#

slow down and enjoy the game it’s peam

gloomy grove
#

jumping from one big enemy to the next is so stale i dont see the appeal

dusk bronze
#

monkey brain neuron activation flashing colors woooo

#

no actual substance

wicked halo
#

Average Calamity fan lmfao.

gloomy grove
#

post-ml is so lackluster because youre just knocking off things off a list mindlessly at that point

#

within the span of 12 hours you bounce between like 3 important figures too

#

with no downtime

solid coral
#

i also feel like the power spike from defeating DoG is too large

#

but maybe that’s because i skip old duke

tribal isle
#

dont people kill old duke only for the rogue scythe

wicked halo
#

WoTG is great because Lucille took the time and effort to make a cool questline leading up to the AoE and Nameless Deity.

solid coral
#

idk bruh i just do him later

wicked halo
#

With pieces of fun lore scattered about.

gloomy grove
#

its like that youtuber that reviews mods by just spawning in bosses and stuff

solid coral
#

gameraiders

wicked halo
#

She could've just thrown these bosses in without much thinking but she didn't.

solid coral
#

i had to unsub bruh i lowkirkenuinely got mad

blazing field
#

they should remove all bosses from the mod and make calamity into a fishing overhaul mod and nothing else

tribal isle
wicked halo
solid coral
#

i think the solyn dialogue boxes could’ve been vanilla styled, but yes the story is nice

#

although i suppose players would just click out of them immediately

tribal isle
gloomy grove
#

either way the mod stepping away from boss rush slop is great, always glad to see the team recognize that

solid coral
#

the npcs all have different dialogue post ML too so that’s neat

#

big scary vortex in the sky

#

i wish vanilla terraria had more fleshed out dialogue and npc interaction..

That's my goat

blazing field

read blunder booster and my neurons activated

Will tesla potion just be an accessory version of potion?

With no stat buffs

Or with some buffs

Since it now takes an accessory slot

And wont there be an electricity debuff specificaly for folly related stuff?

summer shore

idk ask xyk

dusk bronze

the debuff would be doze right

#

uhh

#

vermilion flux

high scaffold

Also the swap with evil 2 in the future

Vermillion flux is funny

because with its current addition its gonna be a post ml electricity debuff

but when tier shift happens itd be late pre hm instead

dusk bronze

mid pre hm

summer shore

blunderbooster moved to post yharon and tesla amulet now dragonfolly tier

#

it's terrible

high scaffold

I see how bosses would change, I see how evil 2 drops would change, I dont see what would happen to folly drop

Also folly has laughably low number of drops and items crafted from drops

#

Silva armor will change in recipe for sure

dusk bronze
#

silva armor is probably dying before the tiershift happens

high scaffold
#

Is it getting replaced by that one npc themed armor?

it's probably getting blended up and mixed into tarragon to be like braelor themed

Silva is dying?

Actually no. The original implementation of this item was apparently myself and termigator, which is probably why it was on my to-do list for several years to improve it to be more fair and balanced.

I understand that I've colossally nerfed it and that's intentional. It shouldn't be as strong as the post ML Drill Containment Unit the second you get it; but as soon as you have a decent Hardmode pickaxe it'll rip everything apart easily.

It still multiplies your effective mining speed by 4 due to mining 4 tiles simultaneously with the exact stats of your best pickaxe.

#

Pickaxe power and the frame timing on the pickaxe itself, including reforges. Won't scale with the mining speed stat. Although I could add that, Drills (the items) don't scale with mining speed so I figured that would be weird.

In case you couldn't tell, due to drills being faster but not scaling with mining speed, they're optimal to use with the Onyx Excavator. Obvious and thematically fitting synergy.

#

From what I'm seeing, these changes are well done,

rancid pagoda
#

yeah it's fair that you don't get mining speed buffs

#

although that can mean that it falls behind just shroomite digging clawing

This is fun

snow moth
blazing field
#

Kind of works as a bit of a drill buff too, which is cool given they're kind of just worse than pickaxes in plenty of scenarios atm

snow moth
#

oh one other thing

blazing field
#

Cool stuff

snow moth
#

it can dig through the abyss now

#

the abyss blocks were blacklisted due to it being able to one shot everything in its current incarnation

#

now that it uses your real pickaxe, there's no reason to worry about that

hasty tangle
#

still pales in comparison to a rocket launcher with mini nuke 2s clueless

snow moth
#

I'd sure hope it's better

dusk bronze
#

can it beat city buster tho

#

I was vcing while the drill change gif was sent and in that vc I was telling my friend "Damn I wonder if they're gonna nerf this thing" lol

snow moth
#

Lol

#

My mind synced up to this update's progress

hasty tangle
#

especially for the effort required to get DCU

hardy gulch
#

onyx excavator has radically different use cases than stuff like city busters or launchers with tile-breaking rockets

hasty tangle
#

yeah, its precision vs speed

#

seems like the onyx's new main purpose is digging horizontal shafts faster

hardy gulch
#

yeah

#

i generally used it for horizontal digging in the past, and in rare cases used it for flattening areas

#

not sure how one would handle vertical digging with it however

rose laurel
plush carbon
#

"I don't expect it to come out next year" also ended up being correct

hardy gulch
#

rebecca...
the update is so large now...

What usecase does this item have

mystic eagle
#

Item renames yay

orchid finch
#

whatever the fuck the thing's called

#

hasty tangle
#

square

dusk bronze
#

square

deft lily
#

there should be a post game drill thats just a giant eraser.

Delete half the world

orchid finch
#

no it's not a square it's a rectangle

dusk bronze
#

it's a square

deft lily
#

comically large eraser

orchid finch
#

urgh

#

regardless, the word I was thinking of is area

hardy gulch
deft lily
plush carbon
dusk bronze
#

well it's in the game now

#

🎉

hardy gulch
#

why are they unholy and vicious
wouldnt it be vile + vicious or unholy + blood

solid coral
#

damn, finally a reason to craft drills instead of pickaxes all the time

orchid finch
#

uuuh no, drills can't receive mining speed bonuses

dull heart
orchid finch
#

so if you get mining armor and base mining accessories, Marnite drill will lose to Bone Pick in terms of speed

dusk bronze
orchid finch
#

I literally have tested this in my pt

dusk bronze
dull heart
#

too bad it's unholy

orchid finch
#

so unless Onyx doesn't stack with the mining buffs, there's no reason to still not use pickaxes

dull heart
#

I almost did Evil and Bloody at first

orchid finch
#

the Evil Tonic

#

that would sound funny

dusk bronze
#

just tool base speed

orchid finch
#

oh well then

dull heart
#

it just uses pick power

#

from what ozz said here he said crystal would be same as solar flare in those gifs

cunning sequoia
dull heart
#

Which means it would just be using pick power

orchid finch
#

so

#

so yeah

dusk bronze
dull heart
#

when do we get holy tonic

orchid finch
#

you basically use whatever thing you can get

dull heart
#

there is a use for drills in 2.1

dull heart
#

yes

halcyon seal
#

first second of playing overhaul and theres already a quest that gets cut off because ig they forgot to account for larger monitors

dull heart
#

I think it's so funny that darkness is counteracted by blindfold

halcyon seal
#

thats a good sign

mystic eagle
hasty tangle
#

and a sign of why you shouldnt be playing it

dusk bronze

pocket mirror makes more sense there

cunning sequoia

orchid finch
dull heart
#

yes

cunning sequoia
#

fast fast clock

orchid finch
#

BRUH

pulsar cobalt
#

yes but its visually an alarm clock

hardy gulch

anyway gonna do the zzz too, it's kinda late over here

dull heart
#

there is your spoiler

orchid finch
#

man I wish I could post a spoiler

dull heart
#

maybe you could

orchid finch
#

yeah, in another life when I reincarnate as you clueless

dull heart
#

just spoil localization

#

drop the translated halley's inferno tooltip or something

orchid finch
#

how's that related to me our team is not doing Calamity :walterheisenbergwhite:

#

the best I can do is Eridanus Flamethrower

dull heart
#

idk i just know you're in localization channels in caldev

orchid finch
#

no I'm not

dull heart
#

oh ok

#

spoil eridanus flamethrower then

orchid finch
#

clearly you're thinking of someone else

orchid finch
dull heart
#

wowo

orchid finch
#

this is like a year old silly addon that I started and never finished

dull heart
orchid finch
#

and don't want to finish because arde (the guy behind the idea) is, to put it bluntly, has been not the best guy to hang around

dull heart
#

1 feather does give 2 hours of the buff though

valid crypt
#

Fucking two hours

dusk bronze

20 6-minute potions

it doesn't right click to zoom so

orchid finch

well yeah but like that's it outside of the

#

you know

#

is it public?

dull heart
#

i don't remeber what i've said about it tbh

dusk bronze
#

the tooltip isn't in the future doc

#

so no not yet

dull heart
#

i have said this though

mystic eagle
dull heart

and sent this

well if you haven't noticed the whole team's been catching straight dubs for a while now

shut ridge

I’ve noticed

crate changes straight Ws

dusk bronze
orchid finch
#

crates caught a stray

#

I can't even recall anything besides the things in the patch and changelogs

snow moth
#

I said this several times

orchid finch
#

average Terraria player

dull heart
#

oh ok

orchid finch
#

reading comprehension

dull heart
#

I just saw saying solar and crystal would be the same

shut ridge
#

I’m sure people are happy about the separation of SSO and reworks into 2 different updates

orchid finch
#

I mean we're happy to see AN update

shut ridge
#

Real

orchid finch
#

SSO is a great addition but

mystic eagle
#

A question about SSO itself actually. Will SSO itself still be split into 2 parts?

orchid finch
#

hasn't it been mentioned that the plan is still to release it in 2 parts

dull heart
#

idk

orchid finch
dusk bronze
#

there were talks of combining the parts right after 25 happened iirc
so clearly not completely ruled out

orchid finch
#

anyway I am like 20 minutes not sleeping despite saying I was going to

#

goodnight chat

dusk bronze
#

gn

dull heart
#

combining parts was 100% pushed by enamoured tbh

dusk bronze
#

curious

snow moth
#

so yeah me saying that was wrong

dull heart
#

... now that they're gone

orchid finch
#

ahem

snow moth
dusk bronze
hasty hawk
#

and ofc theres the dreaded summoner rebalance

hardy gulch
#

SSO 1 2 and 3 are real btw

hasty hawk
#

which would be split from SSO pt 2

hardy gulch
dull heart
#

summoner rebalance is not explicitly tied to sso2 yeah

#

It'll happen just whenever it's finished

hasty hawk
#

Github branches my beloved

snow moth
#

1.4.5 needs to come out first so we know how screwed up the balance is

#

then we can decide what to do

hasty hawk
#

gl to whomever has to maintain it now

dull heart
#

summoner branch is definitely entirely dead

#

I've already ported out everything I wanted from it

snow moth
#

pour one out for our boy the summoner branch

#

đŸ„ƒ

#

he didn't deserve it

dull heart
#

yes he did he sucked

snow moth
#

LMAO WHAT

#

please elaborate

tropic jolt
#

đŸȘŠ

dull heart
#

merging all of the reworks done to summoner onto one branch was a really bad idea

hasty hawk
#

RIP Ardor Blossom Star will probably be Ship of Theseus’ ed

dull heart
#

balancing makes sense, but not the reworks

#

it became a nightmare to merge from main sometimes

snow moth
#

Oh

#

Okay yes in terms of branch strategy it was ridiculous and silly

dull heart
#

plus there's surely still items lost in the branch like Atlas Munitions Beacon

hasty hawk
snow moth
#

um

#

are we ever going to recover any of that

hasty hawk
snow moth
#

or is it just a dead weight loss

dull heart
#

i've been recovering some of it

#

like phantomic artifact, dreadmine

#

fearmonger armor and whip

hasty hawk
#

i might have the old code from it since no longer dev

dull heart
#

stuff still lost in the branch includes all the memes accessory reworks

dull heart
#

and whatever else i don't even know about

it's why the summoner megabranch was bad

summoner megabranch was so open scoped

lost in there is also the statis blessing rework into a sentry accessory

hasty hawk

i hope that doesnt happen to CODENAME: GREEN

pulsar cobalt
#

wheres the creep

stuck kite
#

literally gonna cause a hell of conflicts were it to continue

pulsar cobalt
#

all i see is scope

dull heart
#

can't scope creep is the scope is already infinite

snow moth
#

the creep has been dialed down to 0. it's a lot of scope but no more creep

stuck kite
#

yeah

#

therr is no scope to the summoner branch it literally was

Stardust whip is pre-nerf Firecracker but can reach Scal without having to play very aggressively with dashes

If whips can add crit why minions dont crit by themself?

and also 300 on hit damage

hasty hawk

and now its likely deleted apparently

halcyon seal

Which one is ABS

no ABS i already saved from summoner branch hell

i think

like 90% sure i did

#

OH THATS

#

Oh ok

pulsar cobalt

project moon reference too

dull heart

thanks for reminding me ABS existed

speaking of i need to finish canto 5 dungeon

Whats ABS?

dull heart
#

i needed a list of things that need sprites (but not high priority)

pulsar cobalt

deft lily
#

I think whips should be removed.

actually no.

remove every weapon in the game.

#

only minions

pulsar cobalt

its the reference that ador blossom whip takes from

Lets you make more advanced alloys than an Electric Blast Furnace

#

no

high scaffold
dull heart
#

nothing is entirely lost

#

summoner branch still exists

#

we can salvage stuff from it

halcyon seal
pulsar cobalt
#

its not lost it just needs to be properly taken out of it

dull heart
#

yes

pulsar cobalt
#

i think a hypothetical summoner branch in the future should be solely for balance changes

halcyon seal
#

Then ig its no vacuum freezer

pulsar cobalt
#

anyways time to limbus bye yall

halcyon seal
#

The only change I would make is doubling the damage of the staff of necrosteocytes
