I think ive heard veg ideas of that tossed around
I Will Be Playing Melee Day One
the basic one would be Sirius + Stratus Sphere + Cresent Moon
but add in Galileo Gladius to recharge starbursts and you'll do a lot better
Ima do all 5 classes.
By that I mean mostly summoner but for each boss ill fight them each 5 times, once per class
Oh boy another armor set to compete with bloodflare and omega blue and prismatic
I hope it gets added tho
well Yes but Like
it would work well mechanically
I will break the cosmos and use only stratus as soon as it's acquired in progression
it's just that there is probably better options
Presuming Stratus is Good Post-Exos
post polter
its ok if it doesnt get added inwill become a dev and have stratus armor be my dev item
but scal taking double dmg from Voidfrost helps
Might be interesting to try and kill polter early
i will just ask doze to design the gimmicks of the armor
...I think I can do that
iwould add a stratus armor set if there was a sprite
this will work trust
Will there be anything else that inflicts voidfrost besides stratus
i cant sprite but i could cook up a design
Stratus Armor that just Kills you if you use One Class for more than 20 seconds
Tell the spriters to drop the yharon resprite and get cooking
Chop chop
I’m waiting
like genuinely if we got an asset sub of a stratus armor set that's a good enough design and satisfactory quality I think there's a good chance it would be added
the sprinters
but i don't expect any current team spriters would go for it
You know the details like what class it would be?
it would be multiclass
Isnt omega blue in the same tier?
Yes

doze I think there can only be So Many Debuff Buffs
is uelibloom going away next update
no
there is not that many
Amalgam + Stratus Set + Any Fucking Flask
Wouldnt it get replaced after one boss who is immune to debuffs
dog isnt' immune to debuffs
Unless it’s strong enough to compete with auric
in 2.1
Ohh
what changes about 2.1 dog
many things
this is like saying there can only be so many damage buffs
it would be better than auric if you wanted to use Stratus weapons
and dialogue
Stratus weapons are on par with exo drops wtf
Best update ever
Does he still not fear death?
yes
and it's still not over yet, kid
but like, if you wanted to use them, stratus armor would be better than auric probably due to interacting with stratus set well
i think he doesnt say kid anymore currently
Oh ic
thankfully
revived 🎉
But the real question is
it'd be between fearmonger (tank) and stratus (dps)
That’s what I was about to ask
what...
HUH? you can get exo tier weapons after polterghast?
doze this is Too Much Thinking
no why do people keep saying that
you're Confusing Them
?
???
NO
lowkey my brain is cooking up a design
include constellation wings
what kind of ethereal though a sacrifice or one of the original ethereals
what is That Words
zzz lost the plot
zzz = zenless zone zero
Oh
g*cha game
Isnt that the Gooner Game or is that just The Stereotype
they did add a couple more fairly recently iirc
i remember Very Very Very Poorly of Zenless
they're all like that
thats the stereotype outside of like 2 characters its not very gooner
gonna be honest in my head the armor has a cape but wings could go hard too, although two post provi wings and a post sentinels wing (tracers) and a post polter wing (constellation wings) would be a bit ridiculous
like
there are far far worse games to point to
this would go hard
Ehhh it’s pretty gooner but the story is actually pretty good
not what i had in mind I'm afraid but i could cook up multiple designs
Hello stranger
not counting tracers there's like 4. calamity post moonlord wings
doze could you remind me in 3 hours
no
maybe
might be asleep
or just watching anime or playing The NOexistenceN of you and me
why dont u just use an alarm
What Is that Second WOrd
the 4 lunar ones, starboard, tarragon, elysian, silva, rebirth
then there's the tracers which like are wings
The
NO
existence
N
or factorio
dont think its particularly more gooner compared to most of the other mainstream gachas but i could be desensitized
oh wait calamity
all i know is zzz is better than brown dust 2
Real update talk here
then yeah theres 4 non tracers but there's also not very many spots to shove another one
like post polter would be oddball
not a high bar that is a very very low bar
vanilla has several wings per tier
vanilla also has more things to do per tier
i think Calamity is quite good at Trying to make all Wings Equally Good, SituationWise
tarragon wings also dying probably
we're in the mindset of post moonlord being good Eventually™
there should be polter wings
i suppose
elysian, striders, silva, rebirth, tracers
I'm curious
moon walkers?
i guess ill try to cook up constellation wings but i dont think they'd need much designing
wait wrong channel for this uuuh
i was not counting the 7 instant post ML wings
just Make Some Starbursts
true
And Make Them Lines
More post ml wings please give me cv wings
solar, stardust, empyrean, vortex, nebula, starboard, walkers
ywah this is what i mean by like. doesnt really need designing . it is very easy to come up with a design for them
Recharges Flight Time by Eating Starbursts
boring + i am probably less likely to do it if i set an alarm myself vs someone reminding me
Yummy Yummy
is that bad
no
wait cook
stratus wing ability where u use starbursts to restore flight
would be totally balanced
when flight time empty, consume starburst to fly

to be fair
Starburst Liquid - Boosts Damage but Damage Fades Over Time While Using a Class
it actually would be
its like that One enchantment but it Sucks
isn't ascendant insignia like the same tier
consuming starbursts to fly is either a strict DPS or survivability loss
whiskey
eat starbursts to get Gravityless Momentumless Flight
for a Short TIme
this is literally just whiskey
flatly Better Flight, but Dogshit DPS and Healing
honestly i don't think stratus needs wings but like
Truth?
could be cool
stratus themed grav globe upgrade
Do the starbursts taste like starbrusts
HOLD ON... YOU COOK
stratus becomes meta for scal
yea but Like
they're not That Much Momentum
compared to Falling Downwards
Camalitas when I perfectly dodge her bullet hell phases (I sat in draedons gaming chair)
i'd be more interested in putting stuff on the armor like
100% increased Cold debuff damage
Generates Starbursts when taking damage
Raises maximum Starbursts to 150
Consumes Starbursts to fly when out of flight time
(i'd also let it consume Starbursts to restore double jumps when out of flight time too ofc)
Can we get a stratus mount instead
no
can we get stratus pet
when i Use Stratus Gear i want NOTHING To be Not Stratus
go back in time to december 31st 2020 and add it as a patreon item
i could make alpha draconis able to be equipped in vanity for a passive draco lowkey
If I could do that I would add an upgrade to the barracuda gun that shoots reaper sharks
Before maelstrom was added
Dye? Stratus. Armor? Stratus. Buffs? Stargazer. Pets? Stratus.
Its all stratus
i think if u did that itd be a bit confusing
L
Blocks? Starcrossed. Bosses? Starstruck. Me? Starry-Eyed.
Doze what did you do, calamity is obbsesed with a weapon set used until DoG
it can be used later
no its moreso I havent Seen The Other Stuff
The new set can yeah
i specifically designed it to be useful at least through yharon for those who want
I cheated in stratus blocks to build my arena
It’s probably the nicest looking stuff in the game even before the rework
i know the secrets to build lihzahrd bricks
Modding the game to add
All Tier Draedon Gear
All Tier Stratus Gear
All Tier Fragment Gear
All Tier Auric Fusion Gear
Miracle Matter Gear
This will Cure Cancer, Fix Pollution, AND Get me Five Dollars.
Draedon I think does a lot of pollution to make his things
I Need Those Five Dollars to get Auric
Im also gonna Fix That
No don't do that it's cool
auric is 50 dollars
yk clearly considering tracer names are being changed, the stratus wings could be named star tracers 
No But like its Cool Pollution
i have Fourty Five
Star Dancers
Elysian treads!!!!!
Iarent thone like
Void
Or something
Void xicks
Words
ALSO DOZE NEW SCAL
Whhortahofodoog
:)
Stratus set would probably be something like
Head
13% increased dmg and crit chance
- 3 minions
Body
13% increased dmg and crit chance
-25% ammo cost
Leggings
13% increased dmg and crit chance
+25% move speed
Set Bonus
150% increased Cold debuff damage
Generates Starbursts when taking damage
Raises maximum Starbursts to 150
Consumes Starbursts to fly when out of flight time
true
Doze scal did THE THING!
These Fucking Things

but like
IT DID
most armor sets are just other armor sets except their gimmick
can you make GFB make Starbursts into These Colors
ITS SO COOL
when i had that idea it was SO GOOD
(not beating dog)
i knew i had to do it
whats the thing
What Difficulty is The THing
u must tell me and only me
the thing
pay $50 to see it
It's top 3 doze idea
all
GIVE ME MONEY FIRST
Can I see it? 🥺
💥
SCal does The THing always?
ok
Pay 50$!;;!
wtf why does zavarski get to see but not me,,,,,
can I see it. some Random Bumfunk Nobody
wtf
go to this url
but im also friends with doze
Bruh...
thats Netflix
hmm
actually
starburst wing effect i lowkey like better on an accessory
Arcanum of the Void could just do that entire set bonus except the cold debuff
like this would be a nice accessory
Generates Starbursts when taking damage
+50 maximum Starburst
Consumes Starbursts to fly when out of flight time
true!
Sounds cool
stratus armor sweep - enemies inflicted with Voidfrost take 1.15x dmg :)
Enemies inflicted with voidfrost are inflicted with another stack of voidfrost. This effect does not have a limit
This'd be Okay if they all shared a Timer
Voidfrost can now stack, with duration of each stack calculated seperately
that would be INSANE
lmao
that would be Insane
Pull a catalyst and make a special auric set that uses the stratus armor that further enhances the bonus
debuff meta
each stack on the same enemy is 0.5 seconds less
wham bam
dude Actually
That'd be Kinda Flames
Pre-Exos Gem Tech but Not As Harsh
i Would Use Stratus if That existed
doze typing for 275 years
67 years
Armor set bonus
+50 maximum Starburts
Generate Starbursts when hurt
Consumes Starbursts to refresh flight when empty, leaving a trail of stardust that inflicts Voidfrost
Voidfrost can stack when re-applied, with each stack's duration calculated seperately
something like this
crazy accessory idea
+50 maximum Starbursts
Generates Starbursts when consuming healing potions
when Starburts are more than 50% full, dashing consumes Starbursts and is empowered with Voidfrost
yes
lmao
maybe instead of voidfrost can stack you can say multiple instances of voidfrost can be inflicted (if thats wat ur trying to say at least i think it is)
yeah
"Empowered" How So
YES MORE DASH ACCESSORIES
dash stacking 'till kingdom come
like pauldron
ambergris also has big water damaging wave
deep diver + slagsplitter + ambergris + stratus accessory + cinnamon roll
2 dash accs being so close is kinda meh
but i also don't really know what other ways to have an acc consume starbursts
a parry?
are you asking for ideas
idk
Spore sac but the more starbursts you have, the more things you spawn around you
ok but theyd also be like
neither of these will probably be real anyway (sprite hell)
entirely different uses
bamma lamma
bribe someone to hold a spriting competition
guhhh asset hell in calamity makes me so annoyed at times that it makes me wish i knew how to do art
thats called assets needed
TOP WINNER gets FIVE DOLLARS and this HOT DOG I FOUND
maybe they will post 2.1
nobody cares because no one uses it
Tbf brainstorm and SSO are a pretty big bottleneck
I'm not at all surprised that side additions like this aren't really gonna happen for awhile lul
lord knows the devs don't need MORE scope creep
Yeah I don't think a stratus accessory and armor both makes snes
stratus pickaxe
generates starbursts when mining
increased mining speed when you have starbursts
okay at least i want a fun (near) endgame mobility accessory that just combines various dash accessories with some fun similar-ish accessories
consumes them to use the WotG world reset
that is my pipe dream accessory
The humble cosmilite with 10 gorillion accessories
But it’s required for progression so ig it makes more sense
It doesn't have a set gimmick for stuff to fit into either
Stratus has basically been exhausted of unique ways to interact with starbursts in combat related context
with the exception of generation on hit and consumption to extend flight time
? what
like the more starbursts you have, the more stats you get
What if you got an active that you could activate with so many starbursts
Like the omega blue tentacles or bloodflare ranger souls
literally every weapon except Stratus Sphere and Sirius is an activated ability to consume starbursts
stratus grapple that consumes starbursts for every pixel it has to go forward
you only need one fairy for fairy boots tho,,,,
Ic then
I haven’t been keeping track of the reworks
As for healing potion and grapple related effects, I can't think of a good way to have generation AND consumption effects related to them that make sense to be on one accessory
I don’t even know how starbursts work at all tbh
Maybe somethin' with philosopher's stone?
Every Stratus item has a way to generate and consume starbursts
idk starbursts are rather vague. could do near anything with consuming em imo
Maybe you get increased pickup range for them like heartreach if that’s even how they work
Starbursts are basically a shared set resource
doing things with stratus items generate starbursts (usually attacking i think)
They don't have pickups
for example:
- Halley's Inferno generates starbursts by hitting enemies without missing. Right click consumes starbursts to rapid fire them like Mario Galaxy starbits
they're like fairy boot fairies but you gain and spend them through all items
- Sirius generates starbursts passively when near an enemy. It consumes 50 automatically when full to launch a quasar
im banning you from making analogies again
Not a great analogy bc fairies there are entirely passive
It's like Ark charges but shared between the entire set
kinda
that's the closest example I can think of
i've never used fairy boots 
Crescent Moon generates Starbursts while spinning, can consume 20 starbursts to shatter the flail into a constellation
The only "passive" effect of Starburst is Stratus Sphere right click (gives you a barrier that causes you to lose Starbursts instead of health when hit) and Sirius (it's just basically active but instead it activates automatically when full)
Can think of starbursts almost like a Mana system in an RPG where you restore Mana by hitting enemies or certain items and can consume it for strong spells
i should do a playthrough of calamity where i only uses usestyle1 swords that shoot projectiles
Yes that's a good example
hell torture
it's like silk or soul in HK games
Great minds think alike
MP in Kingdom Hearts 1
only good games have mechanics like that
Calamity finally good
Hitting enemies restores MP in that.
yeah
but only Kingdom Hearts 1
Lots of RPGs like that
And the ability to place hostile turrets
We can make torture chambers.
Calamity playthrough but I can only use Muramasa
not uh. EXACTLY what I was thinking but
Are they adding a song tho
idk I'm not a dev
Now here's my question @dull heart will we be able to use the turrets as weaponry via wiring or something?
Just name the character jetstream Sam 
Did that get patched out
Idk
muramasa
Oh I can’t read
They removed that.
ain't that the blue one
Yup
it's also the name of the guy who forged it too
I also have dementia apparently
I'm sure Yardis could do it
Calamity playthrough but I can only use Muramasa
Can you upgrade it tho
If people can beat calamity without weapons they can probably beat it with a muramasa
ngl weaponless is free once you know the route
ugc with stealth into wof and ds
then slagsplitter and deep diver to golem and pbg
ugc?
Granite core
Granite core
unstable granite core
you can also rox shimmer for early slagsplitter
darklight greatsword is the only sword that just shoots a projectile that i like
I will not stand for terratomere slander
free nuke
i wish it did a little more than that but i rlly like the projectile a lot for what it is
could use a teensy bit more interesting gameplay
dont you not get enough essence
me when the challenge run is
oh right
iirc rox gives 5 and slag needs 8
just lava crabulon for the guy
the guy man
fungal clump
What about the hat thingy from deerclops
Does calamity make it actually despawn when you die
What turrets
The ones being added as a recipe
You already can make ones that work as weapons
It's in changelogs
hostile turrets attack players not enemies
This just lets you craft the version that spawns naturally and attacks players
wait I didn't know this
OH I'M DUMB
but yeah player killing turrets as a feature would just be a fun thing that could help people make fun challenges
And now we don't need cheat sheet to do it
yeah its just letting people make silly stuff or challenge maps without cheats thing
Terraria but every tile has a sentry on it
If I were to open a world rn would I need to open a new one to play the update
I see
So true...
U know what? If BS is coming out in January/February, there is a 2.17% chance it will drop today, January 13th.
for all content yes, but it's just a couple structures
so you can be fine
why would you not start a new world anyways
maybe its not a new playthrough
wdym
usually people scrap existing runs whenever a major update is pushed
I forgot that people have arachnophobia maybe I shouldn't have posted that
spoiler it maybe
I'm desensitized to almost everything and I forgot that people can fear images
No point to it's not a real spoiler I'm just posting whatever
Sunken sea overhaul spoiler
pee
b

I disagree
They should add martians 2
Distortians
feed us we are the distortlings
The last note on the changelogs for the update should be "Removed Fogbound" just like mojang removes Herobrine every update 🥹
i still didnt play calamity so idk
i played a bit up to cryogen like a year ago
Added The Fetus
I am the sealed rift
I am the cast aside weaver
I am the devil from the Bible
The distortion brothers
- Achieved the Ultimate Calamity Style
Heyyy statis
its meeee
Da devillll
Whaaaaaat’s uuuuuuuuuuup
ngl signus even sorta looks like black doom
that was his name right
mr devil from bible
i forgot what his actual canon name is he's just devil from bible to me
the bible's devil
egregious memory
you are a demon
The demon of Babylon
you will play RLCraft with me
nope
mmm
If you ain't playing, pass the ball
yes
i like how he named his army the black arms and they're more like green and red
the green and red arms dosen't sound as cool
kiri wanna suffer with me in gregtech
😠
Proton inside me
What if we turn kiri into a single proton instead
the sole hydrogen nucleus with its only electron
army named black arms.. like an army in black...
greg
Doing a vanilla Master Mode playthrough
Moon Lord’s much harder than in Calamity, why did they nerf him?
not that he's nerfed
its that youre buffed
also you have the free win button (betsy wings and insignia) in vanilla
True eye laser tho
Mainly the mini lasers after the eyes come off got removed in Calamity, also maybe I’m imagining it but I think there’s more homing bolts
Also I’m aware of the asphalt + chlorophyte bullet cheese but I was trying to beat him normally
it is also that calamity nerfs moon lord
in rev, anyway
Are the mini death rays re-added in death mode?
this is a place for discussing spoilers and future updates
gazillions must abide by the rules
Millions must calamity update talk
billions must endanger enraged parasitic cuckoo wasps
thousands must give me a quarter of a cent
hi
no thanks man
aw :(
everyone should give me $1
true...
i should look into commissioning a sprite for my dev vanity hmm
You HAVE to ask Triangle, his pixel art is always amazing. Have you seen his Resource Pack for Vanilla? He is gifted, and I love it. Also, he is like the Cal armor spriter as far as I understand (ofc he has done way more, but I really love and live for the armor concepts he makes), so it would also fit very fricking nice.

who's triangle
throudangle
this sounds inappropriate
I wonder how Calamity in 1.4.5's Skyblock worlds might be
ravageous
When is terraira update going to release
january or february
1.4.5 taking forever

Re logic said by end of December to Jan
right, i forgor
1.4.5 next week
1.4.5 tomorrow
r/calamitymod is down the hall and to the left
Are you a calamity
Because I’m trying to brimestone Krige ya
what
what
no im not a cal dev or john calamity
yo what do i do if i lowk beat most of the bosses but solyn hasnt appeared and now i have a huge vortex in the back of my world lol
My joke flew over everyone’s head
Ohhh
am i cookafied
Yeah buddy
Idk you can try
fuh bro
At that point just use a cheat code to spawn her in
idk any of that 💔
..


ty
also the website in #mod-announcements
the hole

is it worth it to start a terraria playthru or wait until update,i know both of them will get updated soon
its All Good Man
Wait for a terraria playthrough on general
1.4.5 is around the corner
also getting updated soon
Coming out around the same time of everything goes planned
i have the terraria itch ive been waiting to start a new playthru for a while
From what I understand as long as 1.4.5 doesn't come out calamity doesn't too
do not place solyn's camp close to your base 💔
also start over
you skip the mod's content 99%
lowk bro i used herod mod to spawn her back in
but imma js start a new one anyways
imma try hardmode
infernum
eternity kinda harder than infernum in my opinion but yeah play with infernum
and please do it
bet im a lil new but ive played risk of rain and stuff so im not too shit if i think infernum is still light ill try eternity
i was just following the bosses on that😭
old world so i didnt even know abt solyn til i saw the wiki
oh and take tip
you going to be grateful for my advice
as i mentioned do not place solyn camp close to your base
when she will ask you to place down her camp
away from your base, i dont want to spoiler
also if you know nothing really about the mod dont look up for any video that has spoiler
i dont, if i need something i read wiki and if really necessary i ask here or reddit and usually get somethig
you will not have to look up for wiki very much expect the collecting books, solyn and the prgoress will explain everything
bet
im probably gonna make a new character too and progress murasama from beginning
thats fair
tip: dont use murasama
or overhaul in general
Can’t believe they’re adding bladee, never expected that
i am playing overhaul right now and that mod is Not good
its buggy, unpolished, steals from other mods, and also it can corrupt your world
my experience is overhaul is maybe gives you crit on melee but you completely locked out from using the biome sword and the gore and blood is really annoying because its not dissapears by itself
Disable calamity overhaul
oh im talking about calamity overhaul, not terraria overhaul
terraria overhaul is a good but incompatible mod with calamity
nobody mentioned which one overhaul 😔
but nvm i never tried calamity overhaul but the opinions i heard they all says its a horrible mod
its incompatible with most things
noway
we cant be serious, im in pain when i have to collect just 1k
i dont even think 10k spawns in a world
i am dead serious
22 million
i counted because i didnt believe it
now tbf, overhaul DOES add a mining machine! so you should only need several hundred of those
btw theres a power system and i dont know why
nothing anywhere explains it, and anywhere that could is probably in chinese anyways
it wants to be a factorio flavoured minecraft modpack so bad
anyways instead of overhaul lets talk about something good
like fate/strange fake
god i love strange fake so fucking much its so good
watch that immediately
so its just add the generic minecraft modpack endgame ah
you need 43 trillion from everything
yeah but the difference is, a well designed modpack usually has like
actually good options to get that much stuff
or you need to be creative in some way
yk like actual game design
overhaul just says "guhhhh 500 machine also your pipes can barely power 5 at a time so no centralized power"
Question
How many of you guys know that, in Calamity, Pillars have unique sets of enemies for every 25 enemies killed?
The lunar pillars?
i know this and i dont like it because it makes farming specific ones really hard
Im gonna be completly honest
i dont know what other pillars it would be referring to
I thought that was a vanilla feature
Dont they all have the same drops?
in theory
i dont think crawltipedes drop corite banners
in practice sometimes you want to farm specific banners
i do actually remember this now that you mention it
I'm asking this because I also want to know if anyone on this planet actually thinks it's a good change
And no, you disliking the Pillars and wanting them to be easier is not good reasoning
I think it’s a pointless change but I don’t really care either way
Honestly unless your a banner farmer your probably not gonna notice it
And if you are your gonna hate it
wait, so it actually just causes types of enemies to only start spawning every 25 enemies killed?
i think the slurry of everything all the time makes it harder
well this is just unnecessary and UNCOMMUNICATED
Yeah obviously Cal's version is easier
I get the idea, make the pillars harder over time
Also that's not the case
if it were more explicit, like there was a clear system of waves that can be viewed
then ya
It doesn't add new enemies
There are specific sets of enemies
And they change every 25 kills
Crawltipedes only show up in 1 of the 5 Solar Pillar sets btw
but as of now, it feels like an unnecessary change to terraria that probably should just be outright removed
Yes there are 5 because there's one for after you destroy the shield
Then... what was the purpose initally?
and also yeah CRAWLTIPEDES? NOT SHOWING UP for the majority of Solar Pillar?
Probably another one of Fab's hate changes that were made under the guise of making the game "better"
they're annoying as fuck but they dont deserve this
i was wondering why they never showed up
yeah
Me when I remove the entire gimmick of the Solar Pillar
i knew cal had something with waves during pillars i just didnt realize crawltipedes just didnt fucking spawn
Yeah, it was a Fab change
Honestly sounds like fab raged at crawdepides cause everyone thinks theyre the hardest thing ever for some reason
basically removes crawltipedes from solar pillar but makes a boss thats just a big crawltipede
Said gimmick sucked anyway
They only spawn between 25 - 1 kills
I don't MIND the idea of making pillars have waves but this aint a way to implement that
was it also changed for other pillars as well
Yeah
Yes
Yes but the solar is most noticeable
The nebula brain things swarm you in the 25-1 kill range iirc
oughhh
It's not that bad, infact I really like it because it actually changes combat a lot
gakjegjwrk
said gimmick half sucked but at least it had a gimmick to speak of rather than every pillar being homogenous sludge
if like, the stardust pillar in vanilla wasn't easy enough then in cal its like ultra piss easy
The Problem isn't with the gimmick, it's that Solar Pillar enemies are just
Really Strong
Goes on to make dog copy its ai
YES
Crawdepides are the only enemy where you need to actively think hard of your placement instead of "kill everything that moves"
The other solar pillar enemies charge at you at mach fuck
Solar Pillar enemies dish out pretty ludicrous amounts of damage and all of them (specially Corites) move incredibly fast
Good luck dodging all that horizontally
my reaction to that statement
What i mean is Yong around in circles generally tends to do the trick on the pillars
with waves existing it removes the overarching gimmicks of a pillar so they all feel identical to fight against
Am I weird for finding stardust the hardest
Crawdepides completly destroy that strategy
Nebula is the one I find hardest
Getting snipped by lasers that do 400 damage
Nah, all pillars have something bitch-made about them
Even vortex?
yes
Even vortex
coffee bean haired claptrap pyramid
especially in calamity for some reason
I love the Pillars gimmicks because they're like
I dont really see anyone complain about that one
they werent particularly different in vanilla but at least i can tell when im fighting each individual pillar
vortex has enemies that inflict distorted which can be really awful to deal with
This
Gravity Normalizer Potion my Behearted
Lucille make wrath of the moon and turn the pillars into actually good events thanks 
idc about potions this is vanilla behaviour
alien larva rapidly becoming alien queens in 2 seconds and then constantly spawning so much more that it just becomes a rush to get banners from them
oh and also that
I actually have a fun idea of how that could work
Solar - You can't fly, all enemies are ground-based and very aggressive
Vortex - Enemies are meant to swarm you and get out of control, with Distorted being how they finish you off
Stardust - Uuuuuuh
Nebula - Fuck you
nebula has the brain teleports which are awful because they can just hit you from nowhere
stardust only has that one enemy that shoots projectiles when hit
and its the easiest by far
Stardust enemies hit deceptively hard
Glad to see the last 2 are well defined
stardusts gimmick is that enemies tend to spawn shitlings when you kill them
true but its compensated by the fact they're like piss easy to deal with
Yeah but then
you go with an aoe weapon at that stage
Stardust gimmicks is that the worms come through the ground in all directions at 100mph and one tap you in gfb
Ask me how I know
Stardust is pure enemy spam, if you dont got good piercing your in for a hell of a time
????
thats like one set of enemies
Queen Wasps are like
no vortex has a constant stream of new enemies that are always spawning stardust only spawns new enemies on kill
Half of the Vortex roster
not having piercing at that stage is unlikely because all classes have something AoE at that point
Yeah
I forgot vortex applies distorted I always have gravity normalizer on
“Man, that pillar spams way more enemies than mine…”
“Holy shit, two enemy spammers!”

Either way point is that both of them have the "overwhelm the player" gimmick and Vortex does it way better so Stardust just has nothing
okay so 5 out of 7 enemies in stardust are either minions or create minions
like after plantera you get so many AoE weapons like rockets, the glorious duke fishron tome weapon, melee has terra blade, summoner has whips that have like the least piercing damage fall off
but they're still more distinct than vortex having either humanoids or bugs
morning star my beloved
Instead of 4 separate pillars, there should just be a mega pillar that you can go inside like a dungeon, there traverse your way to the top fighting through all sorts of enemies. At the top you find a celestial sigil.
i find that stardust enemies also tend to hit you a lot less but for a lot more damage
Anyways and then of course Nebula doesn't even really have a gimmick it's just
Fuck you
vortex pillar millenarian strategy if you were playing melee is getting into a 2x3 space and using a yoyo
nebulas gimmick is that everything keeps fucking teleporting and you cant see shit
It’s not even that I find Stardust difficult, but again, all pillars have something bitch-made about them
Idk how you can make fighting waves of enemies fun in this game to be honest
Here's an enemy that spawns an unkillable projectiles that for some fucking reason doesn't despawn when you kill it
Stardust enemies can hit hard and hit fast
i think it is a gimmick really
even if its just the most blatantly infuriating one
I usually leave solar for last
for solar I think it really depends on where it spawns
Are they overwhelming compared to the other pillars? Not really. But I get hit by a lot more stray projectiles in Stardust than the others :p
Wait... theres no meld summon weapon
good keep it that way
if you have dogshit battle grounds (like if you have to fly a lot to move) for solar you're fucked
Yeah no, @fossil skiff please don’t post risque stuff like that, especially if it doesn’t pertain to the channel
Daw
:p
they spawn Fourty Billion Fucking Leeches
They should
with these upcoming changes i feel like everclear is the only alcohol I'd really use consistently (since it basically just has the vanilla alcohol effect)
cinnamon roll is goated trust
turns every ram into deep diver
margarita is also really good if you don't care about inflicting debuffs
or more like the old fabsol's vodka effect
white wine also good for true melee
I just realized
With the statis blessing being changed to be sentry, does that mean the nucleogenesis id changing
sentinel's blessing isn't in brainstorm
they have to drag it out of the github merge abyss
I think thats probably coming in the big summoner rework in sso part 2
summoner rework is probably gonna be a separate update iirc
byeah that's where it'd be
margarita + tequila sunrise is so fucking yum
sentinels blessing wont be part of nucleogenesis
I'm too scared to try true melee
What will be of the statis curse then
the predecessor
Yeah margarita is underrated, I use it until post Provi often
Oh you prob mean the new ones
im talking about brainstorm margarita i dont evne remmber what it does in public build lol
yeah
Is natural regen even that good?
Damn margarita looks STRONG
What does margaritas do?
Half the debuff duration
oh wow
How many alcohols can you use at once?
still 3
all of them if youve got The Method
Nebula is "don't let them get near"
It is the superior Pillar
Just like Mage is the superior class
😉
Mage is 2nd worst class
That's what the gun salesmen want you to think....
melee gang 🔥
everything you just said is wrong
Let the guns salesman k ow that ranger is THE worst class
Now that I agree with
I just found out for no reason I can understand I had the spoiler channel completely hidden

welcome there's no turning back now
wait
you meant the announcement channel didn't you
If they do go the route of making all the bosses have thier own unique health bar color then I hope the exo mechs take inspiration of Lucille to make the exo mechs health bar a rainbow gradiant
never let them tell you that you're wrong for this. they hate you for speaking the truth.
mage is the strongest class by far if you don't ignore the star rod shaped blue whale in the room
Art Attack is my goat
It's so peak for crowd control
If you try to use it for bossing then you're using it wrong
use it for weaver p2 obv
Quick question: what is "Legendary Weapons"? Like FtW/Death Weapons or new tiers of Weapons? I'm really confused with that from de unofficial doc. Even Heroic Damage is a easier concept.
old series of weapons that were insanely rare drops from certain bosses and scaled throughout progression
the term "legendary" is pretty archaic by now
most of them are 10% drops from bosses
Are they the drops that randomly have only 10%chance drop rate
like blossom flux, pristine fury, malachite
Old reaper my beloved
yes but only some of them are considered legendary
apparently
Legendary items were unique weapons and accessories that were exclusive to Malice Mode. They were very powerful for the point at which they could be obtained, and the weapons often had a secondary right-click attack. They dropped from their respective bosses with a 100% chance.
All these + Old Reaper yes
Is every boss gonna get one at some point?
Most famously, in 2017 they used to drop from anything at an extremely low chance and scaled throughout progression, but that has been dead for several years and now they are just 10% drops from their respective bosses (used to be 1% before 1.5)
halibut was a rare drop from anything in the sulphur sea or below, with the rate increasing the further down you went
Unless you coldheart icicled Jared as soon as you beat cryogen
I was asking some things and you solved my questions. Nice.
On the other hand, what are they for? I suppose they deal more damage, but... What if only one class benefits from it after a specific boss? Does that class become "the best" for that progression point?
no why would they
Cause they seem to only come from bosses
After legendary drops got removed they were changed to malice mode only and dropped from bosses
even then why would every bosses drop Legendary items?
Once malice was removed they became what they are now
When malice was around yes they were all insanely powerful
Consistently
iirc theyre being made into normal weapons
Actually that’s a good question
no longer 10% drops
That’s what I was gonna ask
Why haven’t they done that yet
legendary degradation patch
Probably yes, but they’re rare for a reason so if you want the (intended) best weapon in progression then you’ll have to grind for it eventually they’ll be made into being more interesting than 10% drops but so far only SHPC has gone through with it due to the devs having other priorities
I don't see how that's a consistent thing
Most of the legendary weapons aren’t good anymore anyway
community isnt a weapon but it was a legendary and is in fact not good
Cosmic discharge is the one good one
hellborn
Pristine fury is alright too I think?
wait no that was malice
malachite i think was really good?
It used to be
now iirc its just pretty good
Well they all used to be but malachite was good not too long ago
Idk what happened to it, people were glazing it and now nobody seems to care
