Snapthorn is so ridiculous
Will any whip keep its multiplicative nature for theming or is that too strong in general
Since it's an unreachable boost compared to any other whip with just flat
probably later on yes
it really depends on the whips I think, maybe for kaleidoscope (?)
I haven't tried the new hardmode whips yet
pre hardmode whips get flat, post like golem and up gets multiplicative i assume
I image that the possesion would be one of those multiplicatives since is post moonlord
most likely
wasn't that a weapon for TE back whe nit wasn't dead
r u just gonna repurpose it for cal
😭
older
it got ship of theseusd into te
ok king slime ez
Currently all multiplicative is dead
and im working on my crimson biome
All whips are going back to flat
finally making progress
That's a sad day for mathematics
That might change tho since it's a far future
to test and change
it was before cascade was even a thing beyond fry making weapons lmao
so it doesn't need to die with the mod that appeared around it tbh 
the seven basts
speech bubble top right
also does anyone notice the music volume is too low compared to the other 2 sliders?
I have to put it 100% 😭
Celebrationmk10 + ftw seems to disable the ftw boss ai changes
Eh
Regular expert playthrough ig
(it isnt actually that bad its just a little annoying at first)
did fire imps get a resprite?
staff i think yes the enemy itself not sure
the enemy, it moves a lot more fluidly and looks cuter
the enemy I think got resprited
you got resprited
ok speech bubble top right
turns you into liquid mercury
spoiler: I might be making the lifesteal cooldown better after 2.1
changed my dog's fit
sounds good
also spoiler 2:
There was a prehardmode weapon that had a debuff that did 500 dps for a little bit
I fixed it
😭
spoiler 3:
🎣 🐝 💥
wait
no way is it what im thinking off
true
Probably not
laser disk
no
fishing queen bee
how could you that was my favorite healing potion

i like the minion counter
I would like a max slots counter too tbh but this one's fine
instrex made an item for split mod for it but now its useless
Fixed it for you:
🌿 🎣 🐝 🤮 💥
herb(?) fishing in honey died
jungle fishing pulls out bee nades
Not again 😭
it's ok this one wasn't sickness
i knew it was honey fishing right away im just not sure if the plant refers to herbs or staff or regrowth or what
ancient horror...
is it honey fishing though
fishing bee vomit
what does fishing in honey even do
bee vomit is honey
fishing in honey
Honeyfin
has a couple unique drops
I only know the honey fish quest
honeyfin and bumblefish
honeyfin is the best phm healing potion in vanilla
you can now fish yharim in honey
or alternatively
honey fishing no logner takes 8 years
Queen bee is dead
the Starcrash is a nice scouting tool
it really is
hmmm
beenades can now be fished from honey
it's funny how far off you are
you removed honey fishing its dead no more honey fishing
Honeyfin now heals less but gives the honey buff for as long healing pots are in cooldown
right thanks
should've been playing on not the bees smh
so how long will it take until calamity gets updated to the new terraria update if it will?
pins
do yall think the sunken sea overhaul will release this year
shmaybe
wow used it for 5 seconds but starcrash whip is fucking awesome
based off past experience id guesstimate tmod 1.4.5 at about april with calamity probably in june or july which gives about 6 months to finish sso
current estimate is september
i think
After recent events, highly doubt it tbh/
note that this is entirely me spitballing calamity could take much less time or much longer depending on how much shit breaks
september october...
Devs are clearly super burnt out on SSO
and its development has been a mess
If anything i imagine the next update after brainstorm might not be sso just cuz they want Freedom from Fish Mines
what do i know doe
i aint a dev
yeah i'm not even very excited for sso anymore
a different update would be cool
whenthe your message kills the chat
i have nothing more to add and also work
Yeah, that's become very apparent, as much as I wish it wasn't the case
We're not sure what we're gonna do after Brainstorm, we'll probably have a planning meeting then
If we go with other updates, there are several candidates
the cathedral...
Doze propaganda
TRUE
Chicken Bones' set with and without robe
idk why but have it anyway
p sure that was in 1.4.4
they're so peam
Like a ground version of pre-nerf Black Spot.
do u know if the hadean wilds would be its own update
Anyway, I truly look forward to the Sunken Sea Overhaul, particularly the developing Draedon set.
I think I know how to activate the Suicide Boom attack of Mushroom Boi
hover under the target
ohh
I kept doing that and Queen Bee got rekt in like 2 cycles 😭
Really hoping for a evil biome update myself personally, specially 'cuz it'd be an way to add more post ml content that isn't Boss Fight which the mod desperately needs, more post ml evil biome enemies and exploration content and wahtnot
plus the Lore would be cool with the gods of dogma/war and all that, for how crucial they are to the story being prob some of the most important gods, they have no mentions in the mod currently
call it the Evil Malicious Update of Doom and Despair

I think I know what they meant by automate making arena with the Skates?
does Stress Ball automatically placing down platforms too?
kazzymodus' set, a new QA guy
kinda looks like a snail
Maybe there would be an Underworld update
It's one of the suggested minor updaes
and it cancels all fall damage on minecart tracks
cuando sale la actu?
Roller skates are good when you have double jumps and when you have wings
they are NOT good when you are using rocket boots
they don't work with rocket boots
everything else works tho
unfortunate
oh lmao
ram spammers are gonna have a fucken hayday with that when the port is finished
no
how do you get the cat chime?
I think it works 100% accurately to ram rune in dead cells
it's from an underground furniture called huge dragon egg
Are all the things from the changelogs coming in 2.1 (allegedly) around Jan or Feb
anyone here found the friendly rainbow boulder or the friendly boulder pet?
not all, but yeah
omg the false Dungeon Bricks
RIGHT???
i got the pet
they don't break all at once anymore 😭
oh
not the thought process I thought you had
thought you were gonna like. make a ram rune reference
the wiki is useless
ram rune is so funny
vanilla just was like
what if we did iron boots at the same tier
(they're not exactly the same but like... falling accessories lol)
Ram Rune gotten!!
honestly ram rune is what I thought those astral boots were gonna be
time to try out peak
like
rework astral boots to function like ram rune I'm ngl lmao
also this digtoise does not give a single shit he'll dig through whatever
||gigachad digtoise||
what
why the hell not
all the things skates works with and not the other new item :/
I'm off rn, can you confirm that ram rune does in fact grant iframes while you ram through targets
@dull heart btw when Cal get ported to 1.4.5 can you make Ram Rune have a dedicated button too 🥹
for people that use W as a jump button
pressing S and W is kinda awkward
5, hundred, hotkeys.
at the risk of being summarily executed for mentioning whips, i’m wondering if the calamity devs are gonna do anything with new whips now that whip stacking is dead
stacking was already dead in 2,1
The whip rebalance ended up being similar to what doze was gonna do lul
or double tap S works too
oh okay lol
instead of Jump and Down and be double tap Down
and they can kinda go about their day as they already were without having to do anything too crazy
it's a better option for W jump users
I mean if anything the reason to give alternate controll schemes for ram rune is that it fucks with calamity's existing fastfall
double tap S doesn't fuck with fastfall?
both methods tap s so it doesn't mess with fastfall at all
also in Dead Cells you can change the input as it's a basic movement option
ye
oh that's neat
I was just gonna hit you with a fun fact, but you're way ahead of me
lul
you can double tap Down or hold Down as an alternate options in that game
if iron boots are so good why isnt there iron boots 2
moonlord iron boots
who
me
why
Its a 2D Game, up is jump
just use better controls
W is for going forward
You’re not going forward
W for Jump erasure smh
w for jump already has a handful of problems
boost, hover
i mean it's not impossible for ram rune to get a hotkey but
idk i'm not thinking about that yet
Hover is not that useful tbh
deserved

especially in Cal
hover gives you faster horizontal than seraph tracers directly after ml
you lose out on stats for making staying still on air slightly easier
Just use Z as a jump button it’s a pixel game
At a straight line
theres not many cases where i need that much speed in a single straight line agaisnt a boss
with that kind of speed you do not need vertical
also the accel
a quarter of a second to top speed
Ram Rune hotkey day 1 real
ok the Waterbolt Mimic actually drops Waterbolt that's crazy
i do not need that much speed outside of niche scenarios²
i'd rather sacrifice niche use cases for extra stats than the opposite
W tier list?
"niche use cases" and its universally applicable stats
its going very fast in a straight line
only in a straight line
It's also being able to stay in a point without having to bob up and down
Mounts

mounts have several use cases
yeah true cuz at least mounts dont consume your flight time when standing still in the air
Will they add portraits to calamity mod
You get the point
some mounts also have low accel and high deaccel
EMBEDDED FAILURE POINT AN LAUGH
sometimes you want high accel like what hovers give you
that doesnt fucking matter
❌❌❌❌
if ur using mounts to stay still then accel and deaccel do not fucking matter
sometimes you also want low accel to move a tiny bit at a time
you are not hotswapping your wings mid boss
also it very much does matter
see: brimrose vs witch's broom
Yeah and im not needing to fly in a straight fucking line
it's a lot easier to dodge dog's laser grid with broom than it is with brimrose because of the accel
Is this rage bait 🤔
tapping a key moves you a lot more with brimrose than it does with broom
but thats not staying still is it now
im talking about staying still in the air
i cannot think of a fight in which you want to stay perfectly still for several seconds
Mounts only cal when
especially because you count as moving when on a stationary flying mount
go my toxic heart
you know thats not what i mean bro
Also, I believe activating mount does NOT get rid of any vertical speed you have
It just decelerates
what even is the top tier 
so you're saying that if you want more stable flight you should have LOWER accel, hmmmm now lets see at hover wings now
wait who's the one next to travelling merchant
arms dealer
shimmered traveler is more likely
looks like a granny
cv
that line is arms dealer, travelling merchant, and shimmered travelling merchant in that order
ceaseless also demands more accel than broom has
oh it's shimmered travel merchant
hey so curious
how will modders approach npc portraits
shimmered truffle is pretty funny
calamitas close up??
spriter hell
why he lose an eye
It would be kinda hard to nail the same art style
does calamity have to
I doubt they wouldn’t
for every terraria sprite calamity would make it twice as detailed
he bought a property in the desert biome
shimmered cal npc portraits and there's big letters that read "THIS IS NOT CANON" at the top
I mean I don’t see why it couldn’t be
Just make it a bodily change that happens via shimmer in the lore
Which is like, already what it is 
sure
Did they find the code for dual dungeons secret seed
I will not elaborate
Sadge
Hm, yes. Peculiar.
Very… circular
FINALLY THAT WEAPON IS GETTING REWORKED
?
no?
stratus sphere doesn't even exist right now
did I misinterpret?
Amogus
less of a rework and more "brought back from hell"
same deal
it used to be one of my fav weapons from its uniqueness
It was certainly unique
i wouldn't call its old function unique ngl
well it's definitely one of a kind still
boring as fuck
Big spiky ball
yeah but like 6 years ago it was really cool
The fact this sprite was drawn additively
Kills me
Every time
Missing the part where it’s the ultimate projectile shitter
Spikecragy ball
True
can we make it do its old attack in getfixedboi
No
:(
could never best old crag I fear
well can't be mad since it's coming back :D
Be mad now because I'll kill it
not pictured here because it's not in the tooltip but I also had 643 armor pen
Who are you
The horror
and at one point I also had a good 1000% crit damage
nooo
classic calamity balancing
crazy that I've never had any troubles finding Shimmer it's so easy for me
just dig straight down in the beach shore
Question for the dev
Will there be sky block content when the port to 1.4.5 happens
always large
✌️ 😊
it's gonna be so peak. y'all are gonna love it
I'll take it
you actually dont want large on skyblock seed
Typically it’s found opposite of the jungle side no?
what i'm referring to in this picture i will not elaborate on
no it's Jungle side
medium is pretty good and small is very good
Ohh right
you know it because in Cal Dungeon side is Abyss
you dont need room to fight bosses because its vanilla
I like large space
when is calamity on 1.4.5?
🥀 ok
tMod has to update first and it'll take months
true
yourself
Zenith :)
slime gun
Oh, dope
bro dealing damage to air
what the fuck is a stratus dawg
you were right devs #keepstratusdead
yeah but it doesnt apply to platforms
same thing can be said for Asphalt
Yeah
Throw yourself in the aether
throw you in the aether
Kiri’s what
Bring it back you cowards #stratusgang
i think we should introduce legally distinct stratus sphere
Kiri
Rearranging Kiri's furniture, but only slightly so kiri knows something is wrong, but can't figure out what
Along with the rest of the rooms
😠
what is kiri's pfp
Anime kiri
SSO SEPTEMBER OCTOBER LET'S GOOO

"Inane" 
stratus status
No, it's just ice
Do you have ice skates
when da update
Alr
oh shoot I forgot I have Frostspark
that's why it doesn't slip
yoooo
I think Sunfury and Blue Moon interaction is so nice but how are you supposed to figure that one out lol
if not accidentally
yeah it's so wacky
idk which one is better but finally it's now useful for the combo lol
no longer useless
Sunfury is better as the primary flail
Because it's just a better flail so you want to be able to aim it better
gladly that's the one that aim at the mouse cursor
am i insane or is hell way bluer than i remember
actually maybe it's just that i don't have lights and shadows in vanilla lol
its called blue humour buddy
Right I'm stupid 
Wait I've just noticed this what 
Chat is this true 
the tf2 vanity set in the reply
Tornado ahh rework
holy shit i got the evil fish
i was made a lake in the dungeon because i wanted to get dungeon crates 🥹
first kill Unicorn I got the mount and second kill Pixie Megaphone 😭
i swear to god i remember salmon being rare as hell in my last vanilla (or modded) playthrough
So, is the perennial jade going to be called that or jewel of life?
(Also, please don't remove Scoria
)
excuse me what the hell is this 😭 ??
salmon for some reason despite being literally just a normal food fish requires extremely specific conditions to be able to be caught
its almost never caught in an average playthrough becasue of it
we had a talk abt this while triangle was spriting the haunted chum or wtv it wasc alled
turns out salmon is caught in the forest or sky, but you need more than 1,000 tiles of water to do so
Petah, the horse is here
iirc vanilla doesn't generate lakes of that size
yeah either u need to get wacky worldgen or make one ujrself
eclipse during halloween or smthn
||during Dont Dig Up or GFB, the Solar Eclipse's arrival message is changed to reflect the world's lack of sun||
It's eclipse in don't dig up and adjacent seeds
There's no sun so technically a solar eclipse can't happen
So the status message is just referring to horrors
That's... Scary
Nvm they already said it all
Getting to the surface in don't dig up worlds is peak horror experience
It's incredibly tense
What comes first: tModLoader for 1.4.5, or mod for tModLoader that adds 1.4.5 content?
Collecting guesses
One wrong move and you're done for
tModloader 1.4.5 definitely
How bad is it
The whole surface is covered in evil biome
Enemies are buffed and their spawn rates are increased
The gravity is weaker and almost like how it is in space
And again there's no sun
So it's constantly dark
Also fallen stars can kill you
Okay that's hell
oh 😭
Also I believe you can't get rid of those evils even if you cleanse it all
The evil must spread
Like the evil tiles will change to normal ones but the surface will still be considered an evil biome and enemies will still spawn
the horror
the horror
I haven't seen any secret seed combos but the only new secret seed I saw that I think can be as cool as don't dig up is dual dungeons
But the horrors don't let anyone play it yet
The Horrors
Cheese you should consider the worldbuilding potential of the don't dig up world
It's soooo cool
its like reverse uhh
whats that game
im not human or smething
instead of sun evil and evil ghouls start showing up its sun Gone and evil ghouls start showing up
entropy best dlc
anyone knows how to put the banners back into the banner pouch thing?
or once it's out you can't put it back anymore?
solar eclipse
never actually ended up getting rod before now
no the other one
it was on my long bucket list of items i needed to get for 100% journey completion but i hadnt gotten to it because
annoying
the Sun
oh yeah i just dont know how to get that one tbh
😭
i should just check the wiki
ive already been doiung that for other thing sanyways
oh
lol
its just that
yeah alright
one more down! yay!
did melee even get anything in 1.4.5 besides the flint
can foxparks spawn on evil grass?
I'm trying 
yippe
now i need to uhh
complete bestiary which i almost am anyways, get rod of discord, survive boulder rain and give a joja cola to dryad
oh and the die as a hardcore thing
need help with that?
i have no idea how to get it lo
Do you want to be told or do you wanna figure it out
Who would win, supreme witch calamitas or a moose (supersonic speeds)
Idek if it's a reference, as it's a direct collab
yeah
like
the whole thing of 1.4.5 was that they collabed with Dead Cells
and then it grew bigger
Palworld joined in later
In dev
yeah
But yeah there's plenty of other stuff from dead cells too
Just realised smth
Palworld is now on the switch kinda
At least palworld content
Peak comedy
What else is from dead cells?
I can't find it on the wiki
I don't exactly know, haven't done digging. But yknow the vial display things? That's in
Same for vanity
And blocks
And some other weapons
The wiki is still very outdated
It'll take some time
okay let me drop some
so what from palworld was added
Flint
Killing Deck
Ram Rune
Mushroom Boi
The Beheaded set
Alchemy Flash which I don't remember the og name of
Swarm Grenade
Barnacle summon thingy
and the hanging flasks
YO WHAT
That's alot
6 new pals, 2 being variants
pals? like town pets?
And mushroom boi
Iirc some summon weapons too
Digtoise
Cattiva
Foxparks
Chillet
Chillet Ignis
oh nevermind there are 5
and Pal Metal armor
Ok this is sick
Digtoise is a digging thing
Cattiva is a summon
Foxparks is a summon/flamethrower
Chillets are mounts
Yupa
can i play modded server with the new update?
No, pins explains
is the true copper shortsword canon to calamity mod
It's gonna be shadowspec
Multiple weapon reworks & changes
Summoner finally got early game love I adore it
Honestly I really wanna have a combat update next
I thought it has the same stats as Zenith?
tbh from what ive seen, the main bit of the update is an insane world gen overhaul + customization with ofc all the other balance changes
yeah
yes
ah alright
its just a reskin rn
Right now only things I wish were different was ||Mushroom Boi||, since it seems really weak for when you get it, and ||portraits not having an option to turn them off||
but my bets is someone is gonna make it locked behind scal/exos when it does get to 1.4.5
make another shadow spec melee weapon cause funni
true copper shortsword meta against exos
unironically yeah
texture packs exist
tho ig you cant for console
I don't mind ||portraits||, but obviously other people will and do (including people on mobile or console)
p sure mobile can though?
For mobile I'm not sure if it's obvious
If it's possible but unclear, then an option would still be nice
Yeah
Tbf the main issue with "workshop" content not being on other devices is the differing code bases. Which I'm sure cross play will assist with. Ofc Xbox/ps may be stubborn but shall have to see
is snapthorn still early game meta
The whip meta hasn't changed really. It's just using multiple whips don't benefit summons/sentries as much now
It doesn’t benefit them at all now
It still has minor benefits
so kaleidoscope is still the best?
The alt effects still trigger
And then immediately turn off when you swap back
That was nerfed, p sure stardust gives good stuff
Alt effects ≠ direct buffs
The direct buffs turn off
The alt effects dont
Pretty sure everything does
All the whip stack yeet did was make whips only a proper class Vs making tag damage skyrocket to game breaking levels
Well
Sub class
You can still do it. For one swing per whip
So you do still get benefits. Just not as insane as before
No??? It also destroyed any good secondary whip usage
Nope
Yes
I'm not saying whip stacking hasn't been destroyed...when you stare at sentry/summon damage
It has been entirely destroyed tho
Ignore sentry/summon damage, it still benefits you
I am
Like look at the dot application factor, as an example. Or the ones that spawns extra attacks
I'm not talking ab summon crit/tag damage
Or the whip speed buff
Main point of the extra attacks bit anyways, is they getting "reset" also helps
But yes, whip stacking is dead from its old "new" term. (Originally whip stacking was the whip only meta shredding everything)
It is now just a lesser version of the first meaning
It’s literally just the nearly inconsequential debuffs now
Which literally any class can do
It is still a subclass of a class that isn't even meant to attack
The fact it even can attack is a mirical
Whips were meant to be the support weapon to the support weapons
Ip grabber

(the original support was sentries)
Not the main source of damage increase
The targeting feature was alr a thing before whips was added
Okay yeah getting rid of tag damage was necessary
Oh absolutely
But the buffs? Additional effects?
Though I'm sure they'll tune whips into their own proper sub class
Just give them time
And don’t settle for some “we’re lucky we have whips at all” bs
Like how bows only/guns only/swords only etc
Each whip stack should multiply the summon’s damage by 2
Never was intending that
I fixed terraria
I was just stating that people has lost the entire vision for what summoner is
Namely those that do hyper aggressive (basically) melee as summoner
No, the vision has changed
Ehh no
Whips was the weapon to use when your summons was targeting something else
Because yeah the ai is jank at times
Whips need point blank damage
🤦♀️
🫧 🐠
I do think they went overboard with the actual whip damage nerf
But the tag/crit stacking needed to be yeeted
Sure
But the issue is that non-tag stacking was smth that made summoner incredibly unique
Yeah and tbh from the looks of things, they'll probably readd that stuff
It's better to balance something with more of an explosion, then repair the damage
still no foxparks god damnit
🎣
🎶 🎷🐛
fine you win
They fuckin better
We shall have to wait and see
And tbh worst case, modded will.
Even as a standalone mod
(tho let's be honest. All theyll do is revert, not remove the problem)
You know, I've just thought about this
Since sahara slicers were originally pretty much the same as submarine shocker but then got reworked, SS will eventually be reworked as well, right? 
Do not abbreviate it like that 😭
poor melee has been neglected for years

That's mage
I am pretty sure this update has done a decent bit for melee
Melee constantly got everything in the world
they added flint and a zenith reskin
And reworked weapons
They changed around some other melee weapons I believe
like what
i didnt know that weapon existed
Phasesabers
obsidian swordfish my glorious king best weapon in the game
cheese
Keybrand
phaseblades are the same?
tofu
Ale tossed is melee now
look ar my worm cheese
I don't remember their naming scheme I always call both lightsabers
Paladin Hammer got changed
does the rainbow lightsaber give anything extra or it just looks cool
Flairon too
roydev art disc
this is like the most badass weapon ever
it should be buffed to be stronger than zenith
i concur
Fish
I like using living breathing beings as weapons without their consent
Fish
yes cheese you can use me as a sword said the obsidian swordfish
uses as spear
Why is it a spear
Imagine using it like a club
thwack
Grab its nose and slam enemies with its body
They should add fish to terraria
thats true i agree
I think spirit reforged and/or classic do have a fish club weapon
This is why spirit mod is the best mod
This is true
also think its funny how the flint is very similar to spirit reforged clubs in functionality
A
even
yeah its straighjt up just a huge bass
This is also why Calamity Fables having special compatibility with Spirit Reforged makes it the 2nd best mod
Woah just like in Kirby
This fucking bass that I hate (slams it 3 times in a row)
Calamity fables has zero content
Fih
Calamity player mindset
Fables has like the coolest building materials
It’s literally unfinished
Have any of y’all checked out the AA remake
Yes but
It looks cool asf so far
Also fables sunken sea will have 80+ tiles
Yeah I like what’s there but there’s not enough for me to care right now
And most of those are already finished I'm pretty sure
Seems to be quite a common theme for you
fables is very awesome i love marieark's furniture style
I played the entire mod in a couple of hours 🥀
you gotta play the game slower
It's fun I promise
I used to build back when I played more
And was it fun
Never said it wasn’t
Then is epic
If i have one critique to give to spirit reforged is that its item balance seems kinda wacky in some spots, like some accessories are kinda just Bad and are quickly discarded, but i suppose that may be because they'll get upgrades in the future that don't Exist yet since the mod is just preboss content atm
Also i think having this many different multiclass preboss armorset is a little odd
Botanist armor is cool though i like that one
It's a nice little preboss set that gives you mobility and all that, it makes sense
Yeah that is a bit weird since pre-boss is quite prolific with multiclass armors as is
This one is kind of weird but i guess they wanted to make a counterpart to gladiator...?
Like it just feels like kind of a useless armorset frankly
Ig "useless" isn't the right term
Just
i haven't played fables or spirit reforged yet since i want to wait until there's more content to play them
unappealing and easily outclasses
i'd like to be able to play the mod for more than a couple hours before i finish everything in it lol
I do wish there were more multiclass armors in vanilla
I remember using this one alot its a very nice exploration armorset
A set that properly gives damage and crit buffs and a couple summon slots (but not as many as on-tier summoner armors)
vanilla and its 50 5 helmet armor sets
atleast they added hm upgrades for fishing and mining gear
Plus it being sort of the armor equivalent of gold chest loot is fun
Kinda boring that they're just defense increases and that they're just crafted with the previous sets + mythril bars
But eh
i'll take it
Plus atleast they look cool too
w list?
dang i didnt know what their stats would be but ig relogic would do that
yeah theyre the same exact thing as the previous sets
but they have more defense
same exact buffs and set bonuses
🥹
That isn't an awful change tbf 😭
THE GOBLIN?
Like it's fine but damn
is it kinda really boring
both the way you obtain them and what they actually do
What's up?
Witch doctor is S+ tier
Perhaps...
my favorite is the wizard
It's crazy how shimmer fr transed his gender
he looks like hes gonna sell me illicit substances
which is in character
i love funny crazy wizards
He is cool
I love the eyebrow raise
Calamitas portraits are gonna make the community feel things, aren't they
They are
people were gonna feel things anyway
unfortunately
Oh hey gp how's it goin
alright
there's gonna be that one person who'll feel things for permafrost's portrait instead. theyre a real one
Make calamitas absolutely chopped fr fr
Npc portraits RUINED calamity mod!?!?!?
Did Drunk princess got thanos'd after the incident?
yes
sent to the adios dimension
So that's one less portrait
I don't really like most npc portraits except for bunnies
Bunnies have cute and nice portraits
But… witch doctor…
He's fine I suppose
the wizard portrait feels like the most throudonpilled thing ever im shocked
Better than most
What does the vampire seed do in 1.4.5
it makes you burn in the sun
it kills you
also you can get some vampire themed loot from chests that you usually have to get through other means ig
"can you beat calamity ball slapping mode as a vampire no hit??" Videos incoming
Most npc portraits are kinda too clean and look the same
What
(I forgot the name of that really hard mod that makes calamity harder)
I disagree...
Infernum?

Also I like the skin tone on old man npc sprite way more than on his portrait
Hes very pale and sickly
Fair
I think it's fine for most portraits but in someone like the old man it feels too clean yea
they couldve went harder with making things gritty and ugly in some spots
Okay my biggest critique for the portrait that involves the "art style" is
Most of them lack personalities 😭 like vanilla npcs are very simple characters but they have their character quirk up front and it's very exaggerated. Terraria in general is kinda like this, it's very silly and exaggerated. But portraits look... Idk kinda generic? They don't really show the npc personality at all in most cases, and kinda look like, idk, a typical pixelart indie game portraits
I don't think they were a bad addition, they clearly have a lot texture pack potential which I'm excited about
Waiting for Vinh portraits texture pack 🙏
Idk they all feel quite distinct for me idk
My point is terraria is very over the top and exaggerated and portraits look safe
Alot of the portraits are kinda just basic in their expression yeah
They could've been a bit more expressive in some cases
I suppose, but I kinda like them having more default expressions
Which is further reinforcement the wizard is the best one because look at that motherfucker look at his raised eyebrows look at him
I like the truffle a lotttt
Wizard is fun
Also unrelated but a lot of them are too young in my opinion
Eh?
They were drawn by crowno
in stardew these sort of basic idle portraits work bc the npcs have other portraits besides just the default neutral expression
they have angry expressions when angry, sad expressions when sad, etc
Only one I thought was younger than expected was traveling merchant
but in terraria its just 1 so having a more neutral expression dosen't end up expressing the npc's personawlity as well
And honestly I don't hate that
Old man, for being an old man, doesn't have a single wrinkle or anything to indicate that he's old!
i'm old!
Besides the hair
siad hte old man
wait fr? how do you get it
