grape beer is not meant to be used by everyone ever - none of the alcohols are
wait wait wait please tell me you made it so red rockets cant benefit
grape beer's specific niche is people who want to aim better
at the early hm stage theres no bosses that teleport like crazy and at the mid hardmode you have chloro
it's probably broken on MP
Funny rockets
idk maybe im hating too hard but it doesnt seem very good
? melees right there
I mean usually there is a constant argument between "consistency" and "raw damage", you might argue that it might reduce damage by too much but the fact remains that being able to more or less consistently hits target's with very little margin of error can, in many cases, make up for the lost damage, especially on certain weapons
what is it that red rockets do
Actualy I think its the opposite, for those who dont want to aim at all
Yeah, I'd say you are
infinite pierce and can hit the same target multiple times
i forgot wat the red rockets in cbmk2,,,,
pierce lol
oh.
grape beer has a custom hybrid iframe system to prevent inf piercing stuff from sillying
ok
curious
In any case I can't say I know exactly how much damage grape beer loses you, but I do agree that strong homing on basically any ranged weapon sounds really strong on paper
Is white vine giving infinite flight with active true melee?
so would piercing stuff just hit once then go or double back and hit the same enemy again
it sounds really good but like
currently its -75% crit chance, according to doze
on scissors or on rock it doesnt seem great
people who want it will use it and those who don't won't
Also that lol
it's not meant to be very univerally applicable
if any of the alcohols don't make people think at all about the tradeoff then then tradeoff is too little
Also what is the laser pointer?
I mean even with Chlorophyte's major disadvantages over other bullet types in vanilla, most people still usually default to it simply because the effect is that strong lol
and thats just for guns
i mean they also default to it since most bullets are not that good
like yes i would love my enemies to drop slightly more money (????) that sounds great
id like my bullets to explode???? sure
From what I saw it gives the autoaim from console and mobile
chloro is notably weaker than everything else in vanilla due to both base dmg and effects
well
I think a lot of bullets aren't great either but if raw damage is all you really care about, quite literally any other bullet is better (assuming perfect accuracy)
everything else on it's tier
Nano bullets could still be considered a generally better bullet tbh
the only bullets that compete with chloro in my eyes is luminite
crystal, ichor, cursed, ichor
oh and ichor
all outdmg chloro
forgot about them
accessory that lets keyboard and mouse players access controller's auto target feature
wait so why would we care about grape beer if we already have lockon
because lock on isnt homing
lock on doesn't mean stuff actually hits them
If accessory, its fine as need to sacrifice a slot
also accessory
Kinda funny cause most people say Nano tends to be the major competitor lol
Though those are kinda expensive
like using lock on just wont work if ur using smthn like demon scythe
where it takes time for the projectile to accelerate and reach its destination
High velocity bullets my beloved
any bullet ever:
chloro competetion in vanilla includes:
- nano (niche)
- high velocity
- cursed
- crystal
- ichor
- venom
- luminite
- exploding (worms)
i cannot name a bullet that wont just Go There
second highest bullet dmg in the game
this is mainly a cal problem due to giving every bullet 3 times the speed
for no reason
It does require a wall to homing bounce, but it has 66% more base damage and inflicts a pretty strong debuff (on enemies that are vulnerable to it albeit)
also doze do u know if bullets in cal are gonna keep having a fuck ton of extra updates for no reason
i don't think ichor is a real contender i always felt like it's only use was with the black hawk remote
meanwhile moonshine:
why do they ALL have speed buffs
in vanilla
in cal the list is different and ichor is still there
ehh i think it depends on how long the defense damage duration is increased
doze said its doubled
it goes from 1 second to 2 seconds
if its only for like a second its like a fine trade off
bullet-filled shotgun users
Are there any dart shooting weapons planned rn?
bfs got a nice buff in 2.1
especially when u consider most fights just bombard projectiles rather than thought out attacks
namely i made the bullets fire from the shotgun barrel instead of the player
and sunny did some other buffs too
cool
because i think the item was useless for literally everything outside of ccr
now you can get every BFS bullet without being literally inside the enemy
i think the real "there is no downside to this" is magarita
cuz even in like hardmode or pre hm
debuffs dont contribute that much dmg + u can get a weapon that doesnt deal debuffs
nah i dont think its a might
like I think it cannot be understated that bloodflare core has a less harsh downside and the upside is absolutely disgusting amounts of healing
meanwhile moonshines benefit is "oh you have a slightly better blood pact hp increase :)"
bfc also takes accessory slot
Also is this saying Hyperius bullets in general got reworked? I didn't know that lol
the only section of the game where every weapon is balanced around having a debuff is also the section of the game where debuff damage no longer matter at all (post ml)
moonshine's downside is also a benefit at times (like when paired with BFC)
most debuffs got buffed
I do not think the bfc synergy is nearly as good as you think it is
i don't think the downside is nearly as big as you think it is
2 seconds between hits is not that big of a deal
bfc does not need moonshine for anything
it already is more than enough to heal you back to full if you take a single hit in isolation
and it makes you actively worse at taking back to back hits
moonshine's main use will be things like pairing with regenator (33% more max hp = less likely to die in 1 hit + more regeneration) or like, not dying in one hit with glass builds
or anarchy blade i guess
i paired moonshine with margarita and tequila sunrise it makes you sooooo fatttttt
oops cit just saved us from evil grape beer
(-10% crit dmg instead of -75% bc i forgot to save)
should be -25...
if something becomes an autopick it's too good
(on weapons where chloro is even a competition lol)
Yes that was the intent of my statement
you do have to compare it to other on-tier options, not just guns
as it opens up using other weapons with homing
other on tier options it has no competition in it's niche so if you want homing on a non homing
it's the only choice
yeah I mean using grape beer with basically anything versus using chloro with a gun
Grape beer vortexpopper meta?
but tbh it would definitely be more fun if chloro wasn't the only good option for homing
i wish
grape beer phantasm gonna pop off
Oh yeah
With luminite arrows you got 3X4 homing projectiles for the price of a single arrow
the margins are just... just wow
phangasm
luminite arrow's adds don't home
sadge
is being renamed
wonderful
I thought it was at least mildly clever
but it is a bit crass
then again so is Mourning Wood
Isn't the Phangasm literally just the Phantasm with an extra arrow and more damage per shot?
idk if it changes anything else
No it literally is just the one arrow and damage according to the wiki lol
Ok its also got a single extra point of knockback
Damn this thing is really post DoG
crazy
They are already reworking all the main DoG drops so that seems likely in the future :P
Kinda curious just how many weapons are gonna get the rework treatment anyway, seems like there is still a ton of weapons that haven't been touched in years lol
Gitgudwo will surely have a lot of time remaking all "ranking DoG weapons tierlist"
whenver i play multiplyer during 5 miuntes in it feels fine but i start lagging really bad after about 10 miuntes why
Wrong chat
what chat
#calamity-mod-talk is more appropriate for that
thx
Np
Even after BS, quite a lot
I figured
The results of quantity over quantity era have still not been solved completely
They are still removing some weapons to this day
I was surprised to see that even the MM weapons are apparently being reworked, though apparently that is more due to just thematic issues than issues with the weapons themselves
Most of bar weapons are left to be never used
I beat moon lord just yesterday and crafted all the magic weapons I could and it's way too many you can get immediately at that point
Honestly I feel like post moon lord progression is a bit too fast
Or feels too fast at least
astral ore is basically pointless as a progression point
Maybe because guardians dont have much real drops
I mean that's kind of an issue with vanilla Terraria as well to be fair. Tends to be unavoidable when several new weapons unlock after beating the next boss
Sentinel items are quite scarce too
Simple fact of "I beat boss, I get cool weapons. I beat next boss, I get better cool weapons"
in vanilla it's mostly just Plantera unlocking new dungeon enemies and the moons and final tier of eclipse
Only real solution would be to add more bosses that don't really progress anything, but those don't tend to be popular for obvious reasons
Not bosses but intermediate activities
progression needs to be spread out more, Plantera is the most obvious example of one boss unlocking way too many things at once
Plantera is a mini WoF
Plantera is by far the worst (all of her personal drops tend to be barely used for that very reason) but it still happens in other parts of the game. Even pre-hardmode can run into it with bosses like Skeletron or Queen Bee
Yeah that could help pad out the gameplay a bit. I don't know how much Calamity adds currently but Vanilla Terraria only really has Events and new ore spawns IMO
What plantera drops I like: the flail, maybe magic guns and thats it
They are adding a plantera whip in 1.4.5
Venus Magnum got a lot better when it got auto-fire, basically just an Uzi upgrade
calamity adds like none actually i think it net removes
Doesn't it have like the armory system and several mini-biomes?
minibiomes no
arsenal stuff doesnt add any padding as it all runs in the background while you do other stuff
ah
the arsenal will be more prevalent in brainstorm since you'll need it to access bosses like pbg
Again im not too familiar with the specifics, I just see stuff that seems like it would add more padding and assume it is lol
and you'll ultimately need it at the end of the game if you want to fight exos
anything can add padding if you are a hardcore completionist
oh thats this update ? fyer 🔥
Peanut Butter Gamer is a boss? neat
a good amount of the arsenal weapons are being reworked too
but calamity nerfs so much of whats there in vanilla as padding which makes it so that it overall doesnt actually matter that acid rain exists as padding
they won't be completely useless anymore
also the reworked weapons will not require charge anymore
once all arsenal weapons are reworked the charging mechanic as a whole will be dead
There are like 28 weapons being removed in BS
I think there are way more than that
that's bs
fucking finally oh my GOD
wasn't even that bad but goddamn it was annoying
BS will be huge
that's bs
hey you stole my joke
Weapon count total is going from 772 to 757 also
Does anyone have the gif of the scrapped yharon resprite with the wing flap animation
too snail?
what are snails
idk you tell me
🐌
-15 net total
this guy's a 🐌
wowow
They should add a bronze age to terraria calamity
An update to make whole game better
one step closer to killing power cells
what if i told @grave geyser i buffed medusa head what then
isn't that their only use anyway?
they're already dead
codebreaker
Kill 7 billion fluff particles
you need em for decrypting still
No way
do not give me hope
2.1 saved
right forgot about that
I wish the charge mechanic was something interesting like you could have powerful single use modes but that would never fit well into Terraria's format. After all, we rightfully retired all the limited use boss killer weapons
if you are merely going to cut it short
Are those dust spam spell tomes getting reworked in 2.1?
I like having close range blast spells but damn did we add a lot w both those and the tentacle spellbooks
I struggle to find uses for the close range magic weapons
Yes that one
all three got reworked yeah
They're excellent event and worm killers but suffered against most bosses
Arguably the worst looking weapon attack in the entire game
Waiter waiter, more dust please
we have stealth for that anyways
or just cooldowns
maybe it is interesting
but would it be as interesting as an osc rework?
don't think so
at least imo
Lunic eye and eye of magnus rework
that would be pretty cool too
but at least those 2 are pretty good items
so in terms of balancing they're fine
wait eye of golem rework? As in there is one or you want one
There is one
ough
What would win?
-Staves and guns of untold cosmic energy, fueled by the primordial elements themselves,
or
-A really big blast of dirt?
The fact that the Omicron is in the same tier as Primordial Ancient is still laughable to me
Just on a fundamental level
i mean
look at what other classes have
hitting something with a progressively stronger rock is always an option
Yeah yeah I guess
If energy blasts can scale infinitely, I believe rocks can, too
I've just always been a bit unconvinced when the progression in games has some obviously basic/primitive weaponry still holds up with (or even exceeds) the performance of things like laser beams/cosmic powers/fundamental elements lol
I know its basically unavoidable in Calamity but its still always going to be a bit silly IMO
real life accurate
Isn't Aces High still considered one of, if not the best ranged weapon in the game currently? lol
i dont think so
Certainly not the best but it's still auric tier
yeah
the best slot is far and away reserved for the bullshittery that is hellborn

Yeah that might've been what I was thinking of
this thing is actually not that bad against polterghast
that's how strong it is
same thing applies for slick cane i think i remember it being not that bad against dragonfolly
yet it's prehm
that's just oz
i feel like a lotta exoweaponry doesnt take the advantage that miracle matter does infact molecularly reassemble weaponry into New Stuff
I feel like anything you craft into a weapon has been molecularly reassembled
well yea
but you take this weapon and it turns into a thing htat makes sense to upgrade from
exo weaponry shouldnt really do that
theres the most i shoulda included
like, subsuming does it pretty good
exoblade is just kinda a lategame melee
to be honest i woulda expected ark of cosmos to do what exoblade does, and exoblade to do what ark does
turn your Sword into a YoYo for a short Time
48 -> 75 dmg
E -> low C lets go
There will still be so many potential reworks even after 2.1
no i dont think so i think the game will remain stagnant for evermore
no shot
the murasama rework is right there and its like idk 3.0
I personally don't mind them reworking the current Miracle Matter weapons, but I hope they don't entirely scrap their current forms. If nothing else it's still a visually impressive and thematically cohesive set and it's always unfortunate when such obvious hard work goes completely to waste.
Maybe they could just become the new elemental set since the current elemental weapons are kinda old and outdated lol
idk about thematically cohesive
i dont think any dev has mentioned that the already reworked weapons will be reworked once more
they're thematically consistent but the theme is not cohesive
their vfx will change obviously to match the new designs but they wont be reworked
Eh, I mostly meant that they at least look similar in a way that still communicates they all belong to the same set
Rn miracle matter is quite literaly random bs go
will cosmic immaterializer be reworked
Yes
iirc isnt it a shitty summon
will they add astral undergrowth in sso
Yay!
But yes the set in question is kinda just chromatic mix lol
me when clean and smooth vivid clarity is in the same set as messy and chaotic heavenly gale
Miracle Matter is the LEAST thematically cohesive thing ever
🕊️
I have a soft spot for rainbow vomit 
pretty color go vrrrm
oh right vivid clarity is a Weapon of all time
the vivid clarity issue is tbh a thing with a lot of the hpu mm sprites
youd love shroomed mode
Vivid Clarity might've had a sprite update but the actual weapon effects definitely were not lol
they felt too clean and too perfect
I almost reworked vivid clarity into a magic missile upgrade
No literaly, the craft of mm, the lore of mm and craft of mm weapons
half of the miracle matter weapons being reworked and the other half being 10 million year old weapons
peak?!
isnt that literally how you make miracle matter
legally, no
but I ended up giving the reworks for them to Xyk
effectively, yes
To my knowledge the only current MM weapon that wasn't ever updated was the magnomaly cannon (which did have a rework in the vein of the others but was almost definitely scrapped presumably)
oh i thought u meant just weapons
Idk what Xyk has planned for vivid clarity though
im talking about the actual way the weapons work not the sprites
vivid clarity has the issue of being the Shadowbeam Staff but Better
Ah
same set
I mean, I can still see it?
Magnomaly cannon that didnt even receive a resprite
Maybe not an exact 1-1 but the same general idea is still present in both
one of these is Very White and the other is very Green
wait based you should have
Honestly the only sprite I thought stood out was the Iridescent excalibur (and obviously the magnomaly but that doesnt count lol)
iri excal isnt actually part of the set it just is made of it (also its getting removed anyways so)
Excalibur sprite will now be used for orderbringer
I think that’s because that is only considered mm because it uses mm in its recipe
whaat
why
its so good when tainted
I saw that, I think the rework looks pretty good
iri excal having the same colours as miracle matter is a coincidence
i didnt :(
I remember the Irisdescent getting reworked in BH and it still looked... bad
its just meant to be a rainbow sword
They are making melee weapons actualy somewhat melee
That's because it was a shadow dev item of fabsols
The sword beam spam just looked generally uninspired and kinda simple for such a high tier weapon
aaah.
that i didnt know
i mean he was madly in love with exxo avalon so that makes sense
i dont think i ever made iridescent
it's one of multiple shadow dev items of fabsols
Technically Drew's Wings fell under that too
it was dedicated to blah (iirc the creator of exxo avalon) but like
Exo
mechs
fab just made it cuz he wanted to
Nitro Express Rifle too
its not like blah asked for it
his name is lit on it
nitro
Ex
press rifle
Drew's wings are dead
not a shadow dev item since he admitted to it but lillies of finality too
Wings of rebirth shine
he wanted a signalis reference and so there was one
What a Calamity!
Fabsol insisted they were not a dev item iirc, and they didn't have the dev item tag
No, they reincarnated into a beautiful lotus flower
their name was a ref anyways
thats funny as shit
not to mention the 361 thing
now they're the nicest wings in the game
512
done ✅
dia wings 🤤
?
technically speaking that would go to fin wings, as it requires the most good deeds to obtain
removed broken biome blades jungle attunement?
added basalt??
dia sprite my tombstone when i die pls
not wat im talking about
what are you talking about
361 is a reference to mega absol's max speed stat
It wasnt realy melee
Also actual whips exist
^
Good joke but still tomato upon thee
what is the joke here
helping the angler is not good deeds
you're killing innocent fish for the amusement of a sadistic little shit
i get it
God damn
they are Not innocenet
And then he did the same shit with lilies of finality
it wasnt a joke i was mentioning how drews wings had additional references to fab aside from being called drews
😭
god forbid a guy has hobbies
he Did it for A Hamburger with Pickle
Forbidden circlet rework
i thought drew wings referenced the guy from bendy and the ink machine
if i had a nickel for every shitty guy who made a fan project i enjoyed for an existing game and liked absol and did some kind of fabulous+absol pun i'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but what the fuck
i thought drew wings were called that because someone who died was called Drew
no it was referencing himself
LOL?
they looked like angel wings
the other username he went by was MountainDrew
they're literally just solar wings but recolored
Dr.Prepper
the fact that the owner of terraria and the ex-owner of terraria's most popular mod are both named andrew
because Mountain Dew is Yucky and Sprite is Good
bravo kojima
yea i was about to mention this
yin and yang
yes but one is named Spinks and the other is named I Dunno
Spinks is like Spoink who is Neutral Good
you know how like toby fox has a doppleganger called sebastian wolff? yea redigit has that and he was called mountaindrew
Occult skull crown change is actualy pretty good
Yoinky and Sploinky
why the fuck does the image look like that
toby fox and yandere dev type of shit
joke cancelled
Beautiful Image
A duo as iconic and heat and cold miser
its annoying me so much im legit goign to repost it hold on
Exceptional
why does the Evil Baby look like an American but the Kind Baby look like an Ancient Chinese American
i Cannot phrase it otherwise
it was originally
scott cawthon and yandere dev
Because China is the greatest country +1000 social credit
glory to A Bunch Of The Letter Z and X For Some Reason (romanization is A Thing, Certainly)
but the dedicatee didnt want it in the first place (fab had just Dedicated it to them) and asked fabsol to change it to not be the same thing as the thing from exxo avalon so he did
(so basically it was fabsols dev item)
dev item singular? lol
singular because i was only referring to iri excal
Why is post polteghast kinda stacked with reworks
imagine if polterghast got a rework
Someday
I love that they are adding new electricity debuffs
The category will now have 2.5 times more debuffs than pre update
From 2 to 5
doesnt he say that hes gonna put them in an aquarium for a bunch of them
Me when I greedily guzzle all the weapon reworks in order to intentionally halt Calamity devs from making anything 😈
VC got reworked?
SSO got a rework
Overhaul my Sunken Seas...
SSO has already been overhauled we can't do it again
There are a lot of things in the patch notes that are factually untrue now
hi
soo truee
ultimately i couldn't figure out what to really do to the vivid clarity line in a way i was satisfied with
so while no late game magic missle is a tragedy, it's for the best it's not the Vivid Clarity line
i think we need another post-polter dungeon magic weapon clearly
magic missile imo is boring because it either sucks or is autoaim
my whimsy only exists when it stands
Magic Missile's niche is "Ventilation Ducts" and i wont lie theres Not Many Of Those In Terraria
Magic missiles niche is being cool
clearly this person hasn't seen how ugly was magic missile before its rework
no i mean like How You Use It
being able to direct a Projectile is Cool but like
when do i need to do that
the boss is Right There it is not Flappy Bird
always because it's cool
also weapons don't just exist on bosses
Magic Missile in caves or the dungeon or hell houses
terraria is like Cuphead in which its Only Bosses and Nothing Else actually
no it's not
calamity makes it more like that
due to nerfing literally every enemy
(Calamity nerfs hardmode scaling)
hits you punches you
:(
Obviously 
I have been watching a friend play some early-game masochist mode + revengence and I'm actually surprised how manageable the base mobs are
He's still working with basic ore gear and can handle even blood moons and invasions just fine
But the second a boss shows up, he dies in 2 hits lol
Seems like the difficulty is quite top-heavy with that setup
Due to 3 major reasons
- defense powercreep (being fixed in 2.1)
- hardmode enemy scaling nerfs (being fixed in 2.1 I think?)
- weapons not balanced in general gameplay and only bosses
well yea
I see I see
Most enemies are Boring Baby Shit and not Awesome Sigma Shit
(also on weapons, weapon design)
like Bosses
I do hope that's tweaked a bit, I do think even the basic enemies should pose some level of menace at most stages of gameplay
You sound like my other friend lol
exceptional, are they Kind
Literally gives 0 craps about anything the game has to offer but the boss fights
His plan was to basically mod out every single piece of "busy work" (IE not boss fights) through "QoL" mods and then kinda just steamroll through the game
That's no way for a player to live
I've basically had to convince him that me and my other pal will do most of the "busy work" for him so that he doesn't just install what amounts to a bunch of cheat mods
remove the busy work and then its like terraria: fight, fight, fight
solution: make terraria into carrion
It is sad to see how much little stuff they've packed into terraria only for like 95% of the gameplay to just monopolize around combat lol
mhm
Dont get me wrong, that is the best part of the game, but it's gotta have some decoration, you know?
qol just kinda kills the game sometimes thankfully I detoxed myself from that plague
I mean im glad I got to watch my one friend start playing simply so that I can know to what extent I should tweak Fargo's specifically lol
cant wait for the day enemies are more than a nuisance in cal
if people want to play with QoL mods thats their choice
they just cant be mad if it ends up killing the experience for them
even in the big tier skip from hardmode to post moon lord its like
scorn eaters arent particularly threatening they just take a billion years to kill
GOOD IMAGE
bruh
30 isnt even that much lmao
this is Exaggerating
counterpoint: no vanilla buff is short enough to run out mid fight
30's just a holdover from items had unique max stack sizes
they should have The Halibut Cannon
theres definitely a fine line between a QoL change vs "change that makes the game easier for no reason" change
atp QoL has become a buzz word in the tMod space lmao
Truth Nuke
see the word QoL means Quality of Life
you could argue magic storage but id disagree
right yeah
if it makes your life Quality, its QoL
I think its less duration IMO and more that every time you die, you have to reapply it, which costs a lot of time and resources when it happens 50 times lol (also contributes to making basic enemies even easier)
small vanilla styled changes I think
Magic storage is about the only QoL mod I will actually conceed, simply because vanilla chests are too damn small
wasn't refering to Magic Storage in the first place
you can consume all buffs in your inventory with one press of a button (vanilla feature) so it in fact does not cost a lot of time
If they had bigger chests I would maybe reconsider
whenever people talk about qol i think about how one time i clicked on a video called "can you beat terraria with only accessories" and the guy used a mod that gave him 200 extra accessory slots and reforged every single accessory to warding and acted shocked and appalled that he was winning
i mean in vanilla potions are pretty much optional for me at least
how the mighty have fallen
I mean the time to actually farm, fish, and collect the materials to make that amount of potions to keep up with the amount of dying you will be doing (assumedly)
oh yeah vanilla's piss easy you can get by with jack shit
vanilla potions are balanced around the fact they take effort to make
cal balacning with potions in mind is stupid and evil
The only buff item you kinda want to pay attention is anything Well Fed+
nneds to die
nothing can make a boss easier
we always need to balance around the best possible kit a player could have
goodbye to blood orbs?
Because Expert (and Master) makes the player regenerate less hp if they don't have the well fed buff or any upgrades to it
blorbs will still be a thing for brewing potions
blorbs...
either way Vanilla provides pumpkin seeds so the issue is pretty much avoidable
this is such a banger idea
i remember the future system being something like adding more blorbs to increase the yield of potions brewed
tbf blood orbs only replace the easy materials
blorbs suck so bad

none of the alcohols can use blorbs
(they also only have one or two ingredients besides the glass bottles)
Sekiro philosophy lol
i think its good for cal to balance around potions but only in cal difficulties
I don't think it is
bc like those are meant to be notably harder than vanilla difficulties
I'd much rather potions be optional and not expected power ups
i think its good to encourage more prep for fights
I agree that I don't think potions should be taken for granted, yes on paper they should be extremely easy to collect and apply, but they are still "extra effects" that not every player will care or bother to interact with
I think that prep should be encouraged through gear / arena instead of potion farming
unless you make it so that buffs do not get removed on death it is awful to expect you to be buffed for every fight
i think the takeaway is that potions are kinda super useful
i actually love this weapon a lot but i agree it could be more interesting. i hope the accelerating speed and barrage aspects stay though
this is true
alcohol persists through death for this reason
is alcohol supposed to persist through death? lol
i think potions preparing should be like
they're expensive to make but make large batches, and they persist through death because they're literally playstyle defining items
if you have trouble fighting a boss or something
Grinding more of those rare items sucks
because it does not on current bs auric beta
i sea
i Love blood orbs
swag
they are Boba
I also made them make more than the beta
blorba
10/20 instead of 6/12
waow
I mean personally I also see potions as something of a reward for players who bother to involve themselves into the other mechanics of the game that aren't solely combat related
I agree
that's the problem with balancing around them is that just happens
just having players go buy them from QoL is so incredibly lame
but in the current state of potions not using QoL for them also sucks
literally multiple things in Calamity making potions easier to craft and people just bypass all that anyway
you More often than Not want More Stats
and most cant be bothered to Grow Plants or Keep Bottles
yeah but once we don't have potions as the expectation
why did NPCs stop Selling Potions again
then we can make it clear to people that making them easier to obtain is changing intended balance
or do they still do and i just mentally forgot
mindless fishing gets you everything because stuffed fish exists
because potions aren't meant to be so easy to obtain
I wrote like, an entire essay to my friend about this, but the root of my mentality is that, if you can just make buffs/potions permanent after getting a fairly low amount, then you will basically just speedrun farming/fishing/etc just enough to get the required amounts, and then never touch that aspect of the game again, which, IMO, has an overall negative effect on the overall gameplay experience. Making it so that they aren't infinite and you are regularly required to restock and refresh your stockpile every so often forces you to consistently interact with various other systems the game has to offer. Sure, some might call it "busy work" and unfun, but that's the kinda mentality that just leads to people basically speedrunning bosses down and turning the entire game into 2d dark souls
and crates have potions
like literally calamity makes it so much easier to farm herbs
but Stats
cal is moving away from providing so much potion QoL
If that's what you want then sure, but i personally disagree
Raw Sheer Stats
you can control the time, you can control the weather
but that takes Time and i already spend that Mining and Killing The Next Boss in Progression
okay then either don't get the stats or get a mod to make the game easier
Funnily enough my friend also wanted autominer because he hated mining as well lmao
both are fine
I did that Already !
I happen to like the chill pre-boss stage of the game and all the ways to make that faster are taking away from the enjoyment
Making every mining speed bonus the game provides basically useless
hey jimmy give me a terraria with nothing
Basically
this Terrarian still Makes their Potions the Old Fashioned Way.......
get with the Times, Grandpa. we move Fast here
people actually fish n shit for potions instead of just buying them from the qol mod npc?
fishing is pretty easy too you just have to invest on it
the next boss dies in Thirty Minutes or Draedon will Actually Nuke Terraria
we are on a Timer here
(half joking here)
one thing about new alcohol I can definitely say is that buying them from QoL does break the intended balance and experience; but people will do it anyway and that's fine
blessing of modded is that you can play how you want
Fargo actually makes fishing way too easy IMO. Not only can you basically get every single useful accessory in a single in-game day, but almost every rod has multiple bobbers and just drastically improved fishing power (not including the angler enchantment that makes everything better X10)
I feel like this Fargo fellow just didnt like fishing much at all lol
why would Most do That
historically there has been a crusade against anything that takes time in the game
half of them are "Kill You Now" and the other are "We made an App to Destroy all Opps
they will do it because it's already there
Fishing for example
a What
tbf angler quests take more time but its oughh
what?
I argue in defense of these "time wasters" 
blessing of modded is you can make the instakill rapid gun and no one can stop you
They are what separate the wheat from the chaff
😊
like, they will have alchemist npc for the other potions so they will just buy the alcohols too
Yes!
i wish angler had an actual shop where u could buy bait and actually just fish whenever u want to
you can get bait everywhere though
I wish the angler just gave me the shellphone when I rescue him from the ocean 
bait is in a weird spot in vanilla where you become self sustaining with bait from crates but only after a point
kills Everyone
ah yes let me go around the whole world to get like 25 worms that will be gone in 15 minutes of fishing and not yield me anything
you also have jungle bait
i was gonna ask that cal should add an autofisher but im pretty sure thats actually being done in sso
like, if you really need to you can make jungle bait farms and it works
i aint getting bait from crates for shit 😭
Autofish:
unlucky, Get better Luck
lame and also too fast
it can Talk so its not Lame
i want it to be slow autofishing so i can actually multitask
kinda don't like that bait becomes something you don't have to think about after a point
if its just the speed of normal fishing its too fast
Yeah I agree, unless you stack fishing power to like 150+, you will usually operate at a surprising loss for bait even when you have well over a hundred
Go my Starbait from WotG
which is why i think 30 is comically low
Perish and eat my Not Consumable
the thing with angler quests its the rewards rate I think
well tbf you have guaranted prizes every x amount of quests completed
I do agree that only 1 angler quest per day base is quite rough, especially considering that the game actually offers very few ways to speed up time
when was the last time you actually crafted sonar, crate or fishing potions
When I last played vanilla lol
I don't craft them really I get them through quest rewards
never !
i get them from The Tackle Bag or from Fishing
maybe 3 a day honestly
oh my god i just thought of peak idea
Climb a Mountain
and the potions are the "bad" reward from the Angler
an item that you can write in that reminds you to do stuff at certain times and what not
That sounds fairly reasonable IMO, especially if you have multiple players in your world that can turn them in
so for example you can write "At 4:30 AM, do Angler Quest" and until you have done the angler quest it will keep notifying you to do it
after you got the good items from the Angler you can make him really unhappy to get more potions
and I dont necessarily mind being able to craft some of the items, but they should still require a decent time investment to do so
What like do the events when they become available
Or mine ore when they unlock/have a high enough pickaxe power?
and it will only notify if you can do it
the good items of angler used to be awful to get
and also set if its a repeatable thing u wanna do or a one time thing
you can Do this!
using Sensors
and Signs
for example you can put "At 7:30 PM, on a Full Moon, get Moon Charm"
thankfully vanilla makes the fishing components for cellphone/shellphone shimmerable between them so if you got multiple of one you can shimmer it into the other
Ew manual wiring
Fool
"Man invents alarms or a calendar, more at 5" lol
I just look at the time
random idea i had but what if instead of fishing quests u would just be able to rarely obtain quest fish from fishing and trade them in for rewards or credits to buy stuff from the angler
That could be neat
Would also allow you to see that beautiful spritework for the quest fish more often
honestly not bad considering if the quest fish catch would be tagged as Extremely Rare
Yeah would also be good to just have more rare catches in general, would make fishing power even more valuable
Did the Devourer of Cods get reworked
make it summon mini devourers that fish for u
the fish it consumes disappears from its being entirely and instead appears in your fishing bucket. convenient !
yeah

borrow the power of the distortion to teleport fish into your inventory

glowups of the century

The real glowup of the century is AotE

Hi 👋
who is your favorite calamity character and why
saw one of these on another server
literally the only thing they did was a a similar greeting with an emoji on a couple different channels multiple times some time apart
barely knows how to be alive
what if i spoiled
What if you spoiled
flamethrower meta of hotswapping between 10 of them
“matching vanilla” and it’s literally just two items
can we get spaz flamethrower to inflict 20 seconds of cursed flames on the player
or shadowflame i don’t remember if that’s gone yet
and shadowflame
it’s BOTH??
on rev yeah
But enough about whips

true! but it's 100% of vanilla flamethrowers
and we need more items with long debuff times because it's funny
Vanilla has more flamethrowers than the one post skeletron prime?
elf melter from frost moon
Frostmoon
still basically identical
That’s why I don’t know about it
they made it fire frostfire

Yes
I could do so much more
What's the payment 
Where do i send money
100usd en route
Ohhhh! I remember hearing that'd be a thing, but I didn't know it was already out
Oh aren't you auric
I should work on roots more
Nah
I was Cosmilite, but I had to cut off the Patreon payments for a bit, so I'm not anything at the moment
~~its like 6 months old now I think ~~
Yeaahhh- I stopped keeping up with that a while ago, I suppose
Definitely before Fabsol was booted
anyway I think I will go to bed now
just finished The NOexistenceN of you AND me the first time and it was good but it turns out
vns late at night make me tired
Is it something you'd recommend to me
in general I'd recommend it but I don't know specifically why or who to
oh yeah i like that game
my brain has not yet processed it yet
very beautiful game though, visually one of the best vns I've seen
alongside slay the princess
I need to go finish 100%ing STP too
where were u when fabsol was kil
I was at home when fone ring
"Fabsol is kil"
yes
It was kinda surreal to see unfold in the span of like 24 hours
🪷
Reading hypnoscord chat at the time was wild
I was in the hospital the day he was killed
Hypnoschat???
I was around here, but I always have the main chat channels muted, so I only caught word of the stuff he said when he started scrambling to defend himself
So that was an interesting experience
He defended himself? All I saw was that he decided it was over for him
he defended himself against the first stuff
man i wish fabsol was erased from every john cal user's mind
He did for like...a few minutes I think, he just realized he wasn't going to win soon after that
the nsfw minors stuff he just accepted
Hm. I was mostly around for the aftermath I suppose
the transphobia or whatever
I wasn't actually in chat so idk the details
He shall live on in infamy, unfortunately, but he will be a rather important reminder of what not to become
I remember when he got really upset about his messages from the Patreon server being "leaked", as if it isn't basically a public server
Either that, or someone did in his stead
brother
hes a transphobic loser that thrives off of drama
give it a break
yeah no thats a public server
let him disappear
And let history repeat itself...
He was aware that like half of the cal community is trans right
?
probably was
not just half the community, half his dev team
The person he lived with
That's even funnier
Literally his roommate yup
Wait 
Yeah
he also didn't seem to think his comments were transphobic iirc
It was certainly something
what fabsol did boils down to dropping the Demon Core on his own foot
