[wicked halo]

Although tbf my last modded Calamity melee playthrough was like.

[dull junco]

Deam

[wicked halo]

Huh.

[dull junco]

[wicked halo]

I'm curious.

[dull junco]

Me too

[dusk bronze]

read newsletters

calamitymod.com

[hoary edge]

sheesh that was long ago

[pseudo vector]

so you'll be dealing with all the stuff that came in both bountiful harvest and brainstorm

that's quite a lot of stuff

[dull junco]

Alat

[wicked halo]

I did play through Calamity somewhat in late 2025 with Infernal Eclipse (as Ranger) but I got burnt out.

Left it at post-Plantera. I might return some day though.

[dull junco]

There is new weapons 🦭

[wicked halo]

Mainly due to performance and also college.

[hoary edge]

yea infernal eclipse got so much stuff going on. in fact, too much
calamity, thorium, secrets of the shadow. so ye

[dull junco]

🐟 fih

[wicked halo]

Fish.

[hoary edge]

fish

[lapis oak]

I think it was a little bit of a mistake not calling the month the actual word "February" in the release date lol

so many people got confused

[wicked halo]

Eh you'll still get people confused. Terraria players can't read.

[summer shore]

2/6/26 is funny it was worth it

[pseudo vector]

as much as the 2/6/26 looked nice it did confuse some people unfortunately yeah

we're now (roughly) 48 hours away from brainstorm..

[trail brook]

Yaaayy

[dull junco]

So here is 6/2/26🐟

[craggy wagon]

excited to revisit calamity! its been a few months since ive done a full playthrough..

[pseudo vector]

once again ozz intends on releasing brainstorm around 6pm EST on feb 6th

[agile rain]

will the classes get any type of rebalance this update?

[summer shore]

Waking up to brainstorm release it's just like 1.5

[wicked halo]

So it would be like 2 AM for me. F.

[dusk bronze]

no sweeping changes

[dull junco]

[pseudo vector]

no sweeping changes but melee and mage have the majority of the weapon reworks coming in the update

[dull junco]

Tru

[wicked halo]

I think Summoner and Rogue got the least stuff in the rework.

[dusk bronze]

yeah

[agile rain]

nice, i've never played mage so it's gonna be fun

[pseudo vector]

refer to "the sheet (tm)"

[craggy wagon]

excited for that new orderbringer :3 old aotc... how i missed you...

[wicked halo]

Orderbringer is gonna be so fun.

[dull junco]

Huge tank

[lapis oak]

I forgot to add Telluric Glare it's so over

[wicked halo]

And the Guard lineup.

[wicked halo]

That's the bow right?

Last time I used it was like.

[lapis oak]

ye it's the bow

[wicked halo]

...

2019 is 7 years ago now.

[dull junco]

I cant even read anything in the picture sadly

[craggy wagon]

SO excited to also have new provi stuff!!! my girl is back

[dusk bronze]

download it

[pseudo vector]

you can zoom in if you need

provi fans are eating good

[wicked halo]

Providence is my favorite boss.

[dull junco]

My phone is so bad i cant read anything in a picture

[trail brook]

It got a rework or smth?

[lapis oak]

download it

[dull junco]

[hoary edge]

I wanna try some new draedon arsenal weapon rework since I have draedon arsenal weapon runback in mind later :)

[dusk bronze]

she also got updated vfx in brainstorm

[wicked halo]

I'm excited for when Tarragon armor gets replaced with Profaned themes armor (won't be in Brainstorm though)

[wicked halo]

Yippeeee.

[dusk bronze]

everyone say thanks ennway

[wicked halo]

Thank you Ennway.

[pseudo vector]

provi herself got updated vfx, and all of her weapon drops got reworked

[trail brook]

Thanks ennway

[dull junco]

Thanks ennway

[craggy wagon]

thank you ennway for making the 5 provi fans happy (me im provi fans)

[pseudo vector]

thank you ennway

[dusk bronze]

• seeking scorcher

[trail brook]

Whoa

[lapis oak]

eat Ennway

[craggy wagon]

i cant wait to unironically use Purge Guzzler for the first time since like, 2017?

[pseudo vector]

the single digit number of old duke fans are also eating this update

[hoary edge]

thank you, ENNWAY!

[dusk bronze]

true

[pseudo vector]

he got updated vfx and most of his weapon drops got reworked

[dusk bronze]

old duke vfx is also peam

makes the fight feel SO much better

[wicked halo]

Fuck all the Sentinels got cool melee weapons idk which one to kill first.

[pseudo vector]

and of course DoG fans are eating really good this update

[craggy wagon]

impeccable pun

[pseudo vector]

reworked fight, reworked weapon drops

[dusk bronze]

new dialogue

[trail brook]

Why you guys worked on it out of every boss lol

[wicked halo]

Because it sucks.

[pseudo vector]

because old duke was absolute doo doo water

[dusk bronze]

old duke is

[trail brook]

Fair

[pseudo vector]

do you think we're gonna keep the garbage fights garbage lmao

[dusk bronze]

rework everything else but don't touch signus

[hoary edge]

ye dog fight is ass
it's just buffed up crawltipede

[wicked halo]

Calamity mod players think so.

[dusk bronze]

he'll be exactly the same in the yharim update

[trail brook]

Also one more thing
did you fix slime god disrespawning

[pale silo]

yes because they want yharim asap and thus theyre getting yharim before any other rework

because they think so

[hoary edge]

back in the old day, the mod adds 3 dream bosses or something and it's just superbuffed boss
it's uber ass

[dull junco]

Galaxia post sentinels is fair

[craggy wagon]

one day, if i ever get into modding and can make something actually passable and good, i wanna look at the Future Bosses again. they could be neat if they werent literally the same in every way

[dusk bronze]

riddle me this loreheads:
dragon god yharon

[prisma cipher]

reminds me of a certain mode that is soon to be turned to ash in brainstorm...

[craggy wagon]

oh my god. the future bosses were foreshadowing the future lore rewrite! how silly

[dusk bronze]

skelli stop changing pfps

[dull junco]

[dusk bronze]

i can't keep track

[trail brook]

I am not rushing for yahrim but i hope atleast see him added before i got married cuz prp i will quit gaming

[dull junco]

I want to see the ravager rework

[craggy wagon]

if you have to completely give up gaming for a marriage, is it really right for you?

[prisma cipher]

guh...

[dull junco]

Imagine ravager getting his own update

That would be cool

[pseudo vector]

that is the plan at some point

[trail brook]

well IDK it depends on my work and my free time

[dusk bronze]

hell yeah

[novel granite]

Well if BoC got its own, then..

[dull junco]

[pseudo vector]

ravager will eventually recieve his own rework and such

[novel granite]

Ravager is by far the worst boss in calamity with worst drops at the moment

[hoary edge]

ye I find ravager fight super annoying

[dull junco]

In 2 day i cant feed the trasher to get my golden fishing rod

[hoary edge]

it's fishing time

[dull junco]

Fih

🐟

[dusk bronze]

🐟

[novel granite]

Yeah, he's just a golem 2.0 with bloated HP, and has the most plain and boring drops imaginable

[open garden]

is there any info on whether the omega blue tentacle resprite is coming with brainstorm or not?

[pseudo vector]

uhhhhh

[dull junco]

Wth is that

[craggy wagon]

i thought they were resprited in bountiful harvest?

[pseudo vector]

i don't recall there being one in the works

[trail brook]

Its useful for blood stone

[open garden]

maybe i dreamt it idk lol

[novel granite]

The only good thing about him but very random

[dull junco]

Life alloy

[novel granite]

Im glad that atleast bloodstone weapons are getting reworked, because they were always kinda filler

[dull junco]

🐟

[craggy wagon]

excited to see how the claret canon rework messes with the meta

[dull junco]

[craggy wagon]

(i know that thing is gonna be BUSTED in fargo's souls DLC)

[novel granite]

What does it do thats so op?

[summer shore]

Ravager is potential boss I love ravager

[craggy wagon]

lowers the healing potion cooldown if you hit your shots with it, iirc

[trail brook]

But his theme is one my fav

Fire

[hoary edge]

but it sucks I have to go weaponless until post second evil boss

[dusk bronze]

every bloodstone weapon does that

[dusk bronze]

true

[craggy wagon]

oh they're all gonna be doing that?

[dusk bronze]

pretty sure

[summer shore]

Ravager's concept is so cool I'm writing a story around it

[open garden]

checking where i thought i got this info from and i have no idea why i thought this was something that was happening

[trail brook]

Did u guys used perefrtor theme for boc

In the trailer

[dull junco]

No more cosmolite before wof

[dusk bronze]

whar

[final pine]

there was an accepted sprite from calart if that's what you mean

[dull junco]

Sorry mb

The thing that change the days

I forgor

[dusk bronze]

yeah

it's post wof currently

[final pine]

can you shimmer roxcalibur to get it or something

[dusk bronze]

no

[final pine]

ah

been a while

[dull junco]

Cosmolight deam im dumb

[pseudo vector]

the score includes the perforators motif when the more action packed part starts yes

[dusk bronze]

anyway there's a new item post wof called bakidon

that freezes time

[dull junco]

So evil to make cosmolight bf idk what boss

[dusk bronze]

post deus

[dull junco]

Ye that boss

[final pine]

cosmolight is post deus now

[pseudo vector]

cosmolight is post-deus in brainstorm

[trail brook]

its more fitting ithink than to use boc theme

[dull junco]

[dusk bronze]

.

[final pine]

perfs is far more iconic

i guess

[hoary edge]

oh nice. maybe non-journey mode player would at least eat good :)

[dull junco]

Update of evil and despair

[open garden]

new update moves cosmolight to shadowspec tier 💔

[dull junco]

Joke

[trail brook]

Yeah i had good memories when i first fought him in inf

[dusk bronze]

true

[vivid hemlock]

im one of the three pre rework frigidflash bolt fans 🥹

[pseudo vector]

cosmolight is far more versatile than it used to be to compensate, i always felt it was way too overpowered to be placed so early in the game

it speeds up time with its left click, and stops time with its right click

[novel granite]

They have got to rework Star sputter, plssss

[summer shore]

How fast

[dusk bronze]

🔥

[dusk bronze]

same speed as sundial i think

[final pine]

yeah it just makes sundial / moondial obsolete right now

[pseudo vector]

xzier i'm pretty sure you can actually go and take a look at it

[trail brook]

ZA WAURDO

[dusk bronze]

don't wanna get on computer

[summer shore]

Damn that's pretty fast

[open garden]

back to waiting through the day for mech boss rematches this is so sad

[pseudo vector]

it doesn't skip an entire phase of the day instantly now, which does actually help those who want the traveling merchant

[dull junco]

There is a rework for that knife in astral biome

[dusk bronze]

there is not

[final pine]

you can just freeze the time before you fight the mech first

[summer shore]

Is it a toggle or do you have to keep holding left click

[final pine]

with bakidon

[pseudo vector]

bakidon is obtainable pre-mechs and freezes time temporarily

[dull junco]

Make it stop the time and make u win the game

[open garden]

ah thats interesting

[pseudo vector]

as much as the cosmolight tier shift sounds bad at surface value, it won't be that bad in the long run

[dusk bronze]

it's a lot better now imo

[pseudo vector]

again i always felt that cosmolight was way too overpowered for when you obtained it

[summer shore]

Does cosmolight have a cooldown to it I forgot

[pseudo vector]

i don't recall

[dull junco]

Idk i think in when u get it u dont need to be in the night to summon the rest of the bosses

[pseudo vector]

i haven't used it all too often in testing

[craggy wagon]

it makes more sense in-universe anyway. idk why beating a bunch of monsters nets you control over the rotation of Terraria. getting it after beating a literal god and a cosmic worm feels more right

[dusk bronze]

can i say

[open garden]

no cooldown as far as i can tell

[pseudo vector]

i mean its not like you're spoiling anything insane by mentioning something about one item so sure ig

[summer shore]

Not current

[dull junco]

Make cosmolight one shot any boss to be good

[summer shore]

I meant the rework

[open garden]

ohh

mb

[dusk bronze]

it can freeze time indefinitely

[summer shore]

Ah

[pseudo vector]

its basically a turn time progression on and off button alongside being sundial / moondial

[open garden]

still a little sad to lose the ability to skip random events but i guess it makes sense

[novel granite]

Svantechnical is the most OP weapon in Calamity imo

[dusk bronze]

glorious end

also svantechnical isn't even the best postgame weapon

that's rainbow party cannon

[novel granite]

Its trash

[pseudo vector]

i was never all too fond of glorious end

[dusk bronze]

highest dps in the game

[novel granite]

Real?

[dusk bronze]

real

[dull junco]

Short copper sword wins

[novel granite]

Even then, its very inconveniet to use

[dusk bronze]

probably true

[novel granite]

Svantechnical has homing

[hoary edge]

I am wondering if it's better than the dance of light 🤔

[craggy wagon]

i miss the silly wall clip bug you could do (is that still a thing?)

[dusk bronze]

also iirc the best postgame ranger weapon is contagion

[novel granite]

Nah

[summer shore]

Doesn't party cannon have homing too

[dull junco]

No?

[summer shore]

You just need to hit something first and then the homing comes

[dull junco]

I crafted one time

[dusk bronze]

it just blows up the entire screen i think

[dull junco]

And never used

So sigma

[craggy wagon]

idk what the meta for postgame weapons is, but i'll always be a sylvestaff and dance of light boy, because theyre the prettiest ones :3

[dull junco]

The astral injection bug will we patched

[hoary edge]

yea it makes a big boom then the small thing homes into target [I think]

[wet garnet]

sure

[novel granite]

Yes

[dull junco]

U can get infinite mana with that potion

U get

[summer shore]

Just checked, some of the projectiles home in

[dull junco]

🦭

[summer shore]

And those projectiles do huge damage on their own

[pseudo vector]

party cannon just requires decent aim

[summer shore]

I always just aim it to the floor

It's impossible to aim because it locks you to one direction for some reason

[novel granite]

Svantechnical is high DPs, easy to use, whats not to love?

[dull junco]

I going to say the same thing

[summer shore]

Lag

That's one reason to not use it

[craggy wagon]

actually why does it do that?

[summer shore]

Idfk

[dull junco]

Dont nerf astral injection

[hoary edge]

I love the use sound some launchers are made :)

[dull junco]

[craggy wagon]

lag so insane the game itself calls it out

[novel granite]

Opal striker is op

[dusk bronze]

shouldn't it be "trading frames for damage"

[mystic eagle]

Definitely not

[novel granite]

Why?

[dusk bronze]

@devs fix this

[mystic eagle]

The only thing Opal Striker has is a 500 dmg attack per like, 3 seconds, which is worse than just using other weapons at that tier normally

[craggy wagon]

im pretty sure 500dps is pretty easy to get post-evil 1 anyway?

[primal badge]

it's incredibly fun

[dull junco]

The fih with the monocle wins the discussion

[primal badge]

Which is something a lot of weapons don't have

[mystic eagle]

Not really but 250 is common

[dull junco]

🐟

[craggy wagon]

yeah im shocked no one's mentioned ol' reliable (Halibut Cannon)

[dull junco]

Fih cannon

🐟

[craggy wagon]

i remember the olden days when it used to be a super rare drop from pretty much all Abyss enemies

[novel granite]

Then what weapon is even good for you guys??

[dusk bronze]

let me introduce you to hellborn

[dull junco]

[dusk bronze]

pre plant weapon that gets a reasonable killtime on polterghast

[mystic eagle]

It's just Okay

[primal badge]

the less fun ones usually

[craggy wagon]

wait hellborn rework is THAT good????

[primal badge]

:(

[dull junco]

Best weapon

[mystic eagle]

No, the current version

[dull junco]

Fih with monocle

[dusk bronze]

idk about the rework

[dull junco]

🐟

[novel granite]

Which is?

[dusk bronze]

this is current

[primal badge]

,,,,,,I don't remember the best weapons

Haven't played in a whiiile

[mystic eagle]

Most top tier weapons are actually rather unique

[dusk bronze]

slick cane

20 second wof

[dull junco]

Like a fih with a monocle

🐟

[primal badge]

Be obliterated

[dull junco]

Paladium lance are op

[novel granite]

Arietes removes the need for vampire knifes

[primal badge]

Was exaggerating but yeah

Esp with how cool reworks tend to be nowadays

[mystic eagle]

Glorious End, Hellborn, Slick Cane, Superradiant, Staff of Necrosteocytes (if you account for the arena necessities), Corinth, Seven's Striker, Turbulance, Star of Destruction...

And then there's the vanilla whip trio

[dull junco]

Best rogue weapon for all 3 mech and aquatic scourge

[novel granite]

Photoviscerator fell down after rework

[mystic eagle]

It's still good

[mystic eagle]

Kelvin Catalyst

[novel granite]

Surge driver is better and easier to get

[primal badge]

-# I still miss the old cobalt kunai tomfoolery

[novel granite]

Mid, used to be op

[novel granite]

You got to be kidding me

[dull junco]

I never see that weapon

It so cool

[tribal isle]

Is orderbringer just a better exo blade

[mystic eagle]

no

They're not comparable to each other

[primal badge]

Can you look up cobalt kunai viability nowadays for me please :3

I'm curious if they still exist as functional weapons

[mystic eagle]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10bgBHu7apfftITBOQVJrtYCiakZVGC4reJcvfJqMBEM/edit?pli=1&gid=1274553935#gid=1274553935 Go do it yourself

[dull junco]

That is a spam or stealth

[primal badge]

I didn't have the list w myself

[dull junco]

Paladium lance with stealth makes alat of dmg

[primal badge]

have it saved on pc but am not on pc

[dull junco]

Its ridiculous

[novel granite]

Lol

[mystic eagle]

It's fantastic with both

[mystic eagle]

Ah mobile google docs... how I hate it

[primal badge]

Idk why it's not saved on mobile

[novel granite]

Starmageddon is just better Onyxia

[primal badge]

ty

[dull junco]

What is this

[mystic eagle]

Mobile Google Docs is a mess and I don't know how it's still trash after all these years

[dull junco]

[novel granite]

Test

[tribal isle]

3:20 💀 💀 💀

[dull junco]

[primal badge]

Google moment I guess

[dull junco]

Thats why paladium lance>kunai

[primal badge]

Used to be the stealth nuke

Now it's a solid spam

Don't mind it tbh

[novel granite]

Are ranged even good?

[mystic eagle]

Ranger is the third best class in the mod

[dull junco]

Summoner top tier

[novel granite]

So, mid

[dull junco]

As always

[mystic eagle]

Not really

No classes are mid

[dull junco]

Rouge 2nd best class

[novel granite]

Melee is just ranged with bloated deffence

[primal badge]

Technically all classes are mid :3

[tawdry vine]

ye, cuz calamity is perfectly balanced

[dull junco]

I cant wait to calamity port 1.4.5

Will we the peak

[tawdry vine]

sadly no more infernum :(

[mystic eagle]

Except with a difference of like, 40 defence at most, and overall worse weapons

[dull junco]

Sadly

But

Peak of summoner

[novel granite]

No whips, no peak

[tawdry vine]

it will be nerfed to become unplayable 😈

[primal badge]

That's ~20-40 less damage per hit !!!!!! !!

[mystic eagle]

As it should be

[primal badge]

Yeah the tankiness difference isn't huge

You can be a walking tungsten cube as all classes

[tawdry vine]

any1 read about WOTG? will it port to 1.4.5 and update with calamity?

[mystic eagle]

#calamity-addon-talk

[desert garnet]

yes

wotg will be maintained

[tawdry vine]

sry just asked

[urban cloak]

it will indeed port and update once the time comes

[primal badge]

And have good results because tanking is strong as hell, as always

[tawdry vine]

Noice

ty

[dull junco]

Are u evil wires

[novel granite]

Whats the most exciting thing in the update?

[stray cove]

At what time do Updates usually get released?

[urban cloak]

brainstorm should hopefully release around 6pm est once ozz is available

[desert garnet]

[urban cloak]

for most people probably the brain and dog reworks

there's a lot in that update tho so it could vary

[novel granite]

Dog is reworked too?

[mystic eagle]

Unfortunate for UTC and more eastward players

[urban cloak]

its more of a soft rework in comparison to what happened to brain but yea

just know the fight is much more enjoyable 👍

[novel granite]

Funny that they just decided to rework BoC for no reason

[stray cove]

thx

[mystic eagle]

The fight being ass might have contributed to it

[summer shore]

First thing I'm checking out will be phalanx surge

[pseudo vector]

brain was easily one of the worst fights on rev+

[urban cloak]

it definitely did but big e did just sorta start it randomly last year since they didn't have anything urgent to work on for the sunken sea

[summer shore]

And then the rest of arsenal

[hot wadi]

It's not as bad when you can consistently tell where is the real brain and where are the fakes

[pseudo vector]

and was also potentially a photosensitivity hazard

[urban cloak]

best random decision to ever be made though lol

[hot wadi]

(No bullets needed)

[pseudo vector]

big e really went and said "fuck it we ball" and made one of the most enjoyable fights in the mod

[urban cloak]

thats my goat 🙏

[hot wadi]

Who is big E

[pseudo vector]

one of our coders

[hot wadi]

Oh

[pseudo vector]

very awesome individual

[cunning sequoia]

[pseudo vector]

the mastermind behind brainstorm's brain of cthulhu rework

[mystic eagle]

That's part of the problem

You either need a weapon that inflicts debuffs (which not a whole lot of ones do at that stage) and have a keen enough eye to see which brain is afflicted by it, or you use Deathstare Rod. So you're basically forced to use specific weapons just to have a chance

[cunning sequoia]

the... brain storm

[urban cloak]

the brainstormer you could say

[pseudo vector]

potentially

[hot wadi]

half true
You need a weapon with a fast fire rate AND a keen eye to know where is the real one

[mystic eagle]

In earlier parts of the fight, you can see the difference, but shortly after it either becomes impossible for anyone without an Eagle's eye to see the difference between the brains and eventually just flatout impossible

[fierce nebula]

🧠 ⛈️

[hot wadi]

Latter part being full on impossible is skill issue
The fakes will move weird while the real one moves a bit more organically

[dull junco]

And copy the left most Joker

[hot wadi]

I've fought this brain so many times I straight up just know now

[dull junco]

[hot wadi]

The 8 way illusion charge on Infernum also helps a lot with knowing where the real brain is at

[unique warren]

That’s wild because it’s straight up a BLAST in vanilla

[summer shore]

yeah throw enough attempts at it and it becomes second nature

Still doesn't make it not terrible though

[hot wadi]

Eh fair

[unique warren]

Bee Knee, Hellwing Bow, Daedalus Stormbow, Phantom Phoenix, Aerial Bane, Stake Launcher, Aerial Bane, Eventide, and Phantasm in particular are treats for me

[craggy wagon]

ah my favorite terraria weapons: Aerial Bane and Aerial Bane

[unique warren]

[summer shore]

Don't let this distract you fro

[unique warren]

Also, this mod does NOT have enough repeaters to warrant them being categorized separately on the Weapons page

[hoary edge]

I use Aerial Bane since when I was playing eternity mode
it was banger :D

-# daytime eternity empress of light almost made me lose my mind. I am definitely not prepared for the masochist mode one

[craggy wagon]

i've never actually used Aerial Bane, is it that good?

[unique warren]

It’s kind of so good they had to severely nerf it in cal and it’s still like

Really fuckin good

[hasty hawk]

Brainstorm Feb 7th

[mystic eagle]

Going to sue Ozzatron for malicious spreading of misinformation

[craggy wagon]

malicious? like...

[idle spindle]

say that again.....

[willow hedge]

unfortunate name

[unique warren]

Big estrogen

[keen dune]

The Devourer of Gods
A rework for the Devourer will be coming in the next update, it is a placeholder and will NOT include any resprite and will not be the final rework. Visuals, including the background and lasers will be totally changed, DoG’s behavior and movement have been rewired and every single attack is completely different.

Is it gonna be better now or worse? Rewired and every single attack completely different. I didn't experience the fight yet, so I wonder if I should taste that fight before update and later after update? Or just after update is fine?

Cuz if it is so big of a change, i wonder

[mystic eagle]

It's going to be better

Which is not a high barrier at all

[unique warren]

People who have worked or tested it say it is indeed an improvement

[pale silo]

A massive improvement

[keen dune]

haha 😄 very nice 😄

It will be my first time calamity

I already started but I can wait till the update. I didnt even fight Eye of Cthulu or any boss

[solar hare]

its much better dont you worry

[keen dune]

So basically I should wait for the update for better experience

[cunning sequoia]

making dog worse would be impressive ngl

[keen dune]

I see many changes, some changes are "reverting back to vanilla" like cultist boss, the cultist "The ritual has been reverted to how it works in vanilla. " so i wonder what it is like now

FOMO haha

[solar hare]

yes this update does in fact have a lot of changes

[hollow field]

Meow if you're in on this update

Meowwwww

[dusk bronze]

i recommend making a new world for cool structure changes

[wide wadi]

Ima cheat on my homework so I can play calamity on feb 6th

[deft lily]

some sort of... brain storm...

[mellow stag]

am i gonna be able to play without infernum when update drops or is it still gonna be okay

[unique warren]

It’ll be updated

[silent badge]

I think it’s broken rn tho if I’m not mistaken

[dusk bronze]

you should do a playthrough without infernum first

[tribal ledge]

will the update support 1.4.5?

[wicked halo]

Why do so many newbies insist on playing Infernum on their first playthrough.

Also no.

TModloader isn't on 1.4.5.

[deft lily]

ego

[fierce nebula]

Because it’s popular on youtube

[deft lily]

thats literally it

[cunning sequoia]

they find it cool

[fierce nebula]

Same reason why they obsess over a shitty red sword

[cunning sequoia]

also people told them its really difficult and a lot of people like to play games on the hardest possible difficulty for their first pt for whatever reason

[deft lily]

same ppl who try and play master death as their first cal playthrough out of worry of being made fun of

very strange behavior

[fierce nebula]

No murasama rework in brainstorm = bad update

[silent badge]

My buddy beat infernum before vanilla XD

[deft lily]

no yharon resprite in BS = bad update

[mystic eagle]

And then they get humiliated for having like 50 """"QoL"""" mods

[wicked halo]

Sometimes I wish MGR didn't become mainstream.

[mystic eagle]

Well it no longer is at this point

Unironically the Murasama's inclusion in Cal is more popular than MGR itself at this point

[wicked halo]

It's mainstream enough to where it's damage is permanent.

[deft lily]

The term "qol mod" has become a buzz word tbh.

theres a difference between a qol mod and a "mod that makes the game easier for no reason" mod

[wicked halo]

I usually use like.

[silent badge]

Yes. Magic storage? Great qol. Unlimited platinum coins? What why

[mystic eagle]

Hence why I opted to put QoL between quite a lot of quotation marks

[deft lily]

yeah

[wicked halo]

AlchemistNPCs, NPC Census, something to help me locate the Aether, Recipe Browser, Magic Storage and something to rework the Reforging system if I'm not playing Calamity.

[unique warren]

Honestly I don’t think it’s a horrible idea to do infernum for your first cal run depending on how good you are at the game

[fierce nebula]

Alchemistnpc is a cheat mod

[wicked halo]

Oh and Veinmine.

[deft lily]

I disagree

[unique warren]

If you’ve done like, Maso before you could totally handle Infernum

[final pine]

the humble cheat potions and infinite money glitch from treasure bags:

[wicked halo]

To each their own.

[silent badge]

True, but in reality it just speeds through the potion gathering process

[fierce nebula]

And ability to teleport literally anywhere on the map

[spare shard]

honestly, the only qol mods i use are going to be the ones that don't add physical items to the game

[wicked halo]

Also infinite money.

[gloomy grove]

calamity's most popular item being a direct, non-subtle reference item

[wicked halo]

You guys know the Architect Platinum Chandelebras exploit?

[fierce nebula]

Prisma’s pristine potions

[deft lily]

if you do infernum as your first cal playthrough then it can set an unrealistically high expectation when playing base cal I think

[spare shard]

rogue got a rework right?

[unique warren]

Ehhhh

Are Infernum bosses even that good

[summer shore]

Rogue did not

[deft lily]

also doesnt help that infernum is already the most polarizing mod in tmod

[pseudo vector]

some rogue weapons got reworked but the class as a whole, no

[deft lily]

imo, not really but that's just what I think

[final pine]

i don't particularly blame people who play infernum first since the bosses are awful in basecal right now with only a couple exceptions

[wicked halo]

Why so?

[dusk bronze]

yeah can you actually explain this

[spare shard]

what class would you say got the most change in this update?

[wicked halo]

Melee and Mage.

[dusk bronze]

mage

[fathom girder]

Because "oh my god it's harder it's so much cooler yardis only plays it so that's my opinion too"

[spare shard]

should i try a mage playthrough then

[wicked halo]

Summoner and Rogue I think got the least amount of reworks.

Sure why not.

[fathom girder]

Oh I'm 100% playing mage for brainstorm too

[wicked halo]

I'm playing Melee.

[fathom girder]

classic

[unique warren]

I’ll probably do… yeah idk lmfao

[wicked halo]

I like True Melee.

[unique warren]

True Melee maybe idk.

[rain arrow]

From what I can tell, their programming looks to be very high effort, but also really fucking hard. Not my style, but for someone who really enjoys the gameplay they’re built around, they’re probably pretty good. I guess what I’m saying is as far as I can tell, they do what they set out to do very well.

[summer shore]

mage and melee if you want to stay one class, but you're encouraged to try out all the new weapons regardless of class

[dusk bronze]

[spare shard]

lastly, death or revengence

[fathom girder]

Malice >:)

[wicked halo]

Your choice.

[fathom girder]

Revengeance is the classic calamity difficulty tho

[unique warren]

That’s gonna be expert vs master in this case

[dusk bronze]

rev is probably the best difficulty still

[unique warren]

So take your pick based on that

[wicked halo]

I think the difficulty system's getting reworked too? Brainstorm is reworking it or is it a later update?

[final pine]

brainstorm

[wicked halo]

Oh great.

[mystic eagle]

14 summoner reworks
34 rogue reworks

[fathom girder]

The difficulties got simplified so there's no like master death or expert death or whatever

[wicked halo]

Summoner* I think got the least amount of reworks.

[fathom girder]

It's just. revengeance

or death

[unique warren]

So I guess ranger got just kind of a middle amount of reworks

[urban cloak]

Someone repost the difficulty thing I don't have it on hand

[fathom girder]

Isn't it in the pins??

[pseudo vector]

i’ll grab it

[unique warren]

Who up looking at pins rn

[fathom girder]

yeah here it is

[unique warren]

I got it

[dusk bronze]

rogue still has significantly less reworks than melee, ranger and mage

[fathom girder]

DAMN you

[gloomy grove]

5th thing in pins im pretty sure

[craggy wagon]

is the Holy Collider change just the new sprite or was it completely reworked?

[gloomy grove]

yeah this

[wicked halo]

God the icons look so cool.

[wicked halo]

Rework I think.

[unique warren]

It has the current sprite in the next update, I believe.

[wicked halo]

The sprite is fine as is.

[unique warren]

So no new sprite

[spare shard]

oh, is there any boss changes for legendary difficulty?

[mystic eagle]

I'm gonna count them because I have no life

[fathom girder]

it's smoller in brainstorm

[deft lily]

the only reason people play infernum is because the base cal bosses are complete dogshit in comparison. That and combined with the fact that ppl think that calamity is "how terraria should be played" only curates infernum being as polarizing as it is.

[unique warren]

Ah, never change cal, never change

[craggy wagon]

wrong! the sprite is slightly smaller

[fathom girder]

brainstorm is chaaaanging that thankfully

[fierce nebula]

Changing 2 bosses

[wicked halo]

While I do think Infernum is pretty cool I don't think the reworks are exactly what I want for Calamity bosses in the future.

[fierce nebula]

Still a long way to go

[fathom girder]

They tweaked a bunch of other bosses as well didn't they?

[unique warren]

Make true melee weapons a liiiittle bigger ❌
Make them do absurd damage ✅

[fathom girder]

I recall doze mentioning a lot of bosses getting tweaked back to their pre-bh state

[summer shore]

Ppl play infernum because ooh hard difficulty

[unique warren]

Are they fixing Bountiful Harvest being way too small btw

[summer shore]

Qhar

[final pine]

god i can only hope

[deft lily]

yeah thankfully bosses going forward will actually be good instead of just overturned vanilla ai

[fathom girder]

lul yea

[fierce nebula]

Yeah but a lot of bosses do need reworks and tweaks won’t fully fix the underlying issues

[fathom girder]

Oh of course yes

[fierce nebula]

It’s definitely an improvement

[deft lily]

someone post the unique ai gif I dont have gif permissions

[rain arrow]

I mean I think there’s a niche for Infernum’s style of gameplay. The existence of other bullet hells on its level of insanity supports this, but I would say I think the audience infernum is meant for is smaller than the audience that plays it.

[wicked halo]

They're still gonna complain about Yharim not being in the game.

[fierce nebula]

They have been

[mystic eagle]

56 melee reworks
35 ranger reworks
36 mage reworks

[fierce nebula]

They will never stop complaining

[unique warren]

Yeah, which only rlly worked for EoL and Duke (this is because their vanilla bosses are actually pretty solid)

[wind creek]

anyone getting statue enemies during solar eclipse in 1.4.5?

sometimes i hear a loud screech and a statue is attacking me

[fathom girder]

Yeah that's a thing

[unique warren]

I would complain if Yharim was added anytime soon tbh. I know he won’t, tho.

[wind creek]

ive already got shark statue and granite statue attack me

[fathom girder]

It's a statue mimic

[mystic eagle]

So in order from most to least reworks
56 Melee
36 Mage
35 Ranger
34 Rogue
14 Summoner

[fathom girder]

It kinda startled me when I first ran across that lmao

[deft lily]

dawg people will complain no matter what. Nobody should be catering to those ppl in the first place.

[wicked halo]

I suppose.

They are really insufferable though.

[pseudo vector]

in the future, boss reworks will be way more than just changing some numbers
the way things were in the past, “reworks” were just tweaking small things instead of meaningful changes

[final pine]

pestilent children

[deft lily]

welcome to the internet!

[wicked halo]

Damn that's a lot of Melee reworks.

[deft lily]

have a look around

[fierce nebula]

Just don’t use the calamity reddit or cal youtube and it won’t be as annoying

[pseudo vector]

i hope that brain and dog will be good enough examples of what we can do now with boss fights

[deft lily]

the horrors of sorting by "new" on the BS trailer 😨

[mystic eagle]

In addition to this, there's 42 other reworks

So in total, there are 217 reworks this update as far as we know

[unique warren]

I do hope to see more Eternity-like bosses for lack of a better word

[fierce nebula]

And not one of them is the murasama rework 🎉

As it should bee 🐝

[wicked halo]

The only reason I am in the Calamity sub these days is fan art and talking with a few of the members.

[deft lily]

fair enough I suppose

[pseudo vector]

i think calamity’s reworks of fights will have their own identity since you’ll have our own vision for how the fights should / could be rather than basing it off of existing ideas

[deft lily]

I think there are more ppl that reside in the cal space then there are ppl who actually play the mod tbh

nothing wrong with that

[fierce nebula]

Well of course

[unique warren]

Yea, I’m not necessarily saying they’ll be like emode bosses but I mean just… more reworked than they have been in the past

In terms of vanilla bosses in particular

[wicked halo]

Calamity mod players when they have to play the game.

[deft lily]

im being held at gunpoint to play cal mod send help

[rain arrow]

How does one even reuse EoL AI? Isn’t she programmed to have a very specific and consistent attack pattern that works in time with the music?

[pseudo vector]

that’s the objective, yeah

[unique warren]

Like, emode ML for example changes a lot more than Revengeance ML does so I hope to see the team lean into cooler AI

[pseudo vector]

more meaningfully different fights compared to how they are rn

[unique warren]

I mean more for her specific boss fight

[unique warren]

Hell yeah

[urban cloak]

I do not think eol is timed with her music

[pseudo vector]

because actually competent programmers will get their hands on the bosses for a change

[wicked halo]

I'm actually super curious about how would you guys rework ML.

[urban cloak]

First time I've ever heard of that and I've seen some of her ai

Can't remember ever seeing anything in relation to that

[deft lily]

cant wait for rev+ moon lord to absolutely kick ass 🙏

[pseudo vector]

i have some crazy shit in my head for moon lord

[urban cloak]

Moon Lord rework will be a punch out match 🔥

[summer shore]

rev ml better throw the moon at us

[deft lily]

True

[pseudo vector]

i want that mf to give shades of the absolute fucking monster he was in his prime

[fierce nebula]

I can’t wait for calamity to add the moon lord

[craggy wagon]

Moon Lord rework that calls back to its showdown with the Auric Dragons 👀

[deft lily]

moon lord should fucking grab you or something

and crush you

[pseudo vector]

like this isn’t the moon lord, this is fovos

[rain arrow]

I guess I could be wrong, I’m not exactly a primary source for this. I do remember reading on the Wiki that she has a rather specific attack order.

[dusk bronze]

throws you at the ground

[deft lily]

real

[wicked halo]

"Duck this one!"

[urban cloak]

She does have a set attack pattern yea

[wicked halo]

rips apart the fabric of reality.

[pseudo vector]

the monster that brought the auric dragons to their knees

[craggy wagon]

this is lore discussion stuff but ive always been a big fan of how, in a lore filled with layered characters, Fovos is just a huge dick

[fathom girder]

DoG grab gif

[rain arrow]

But then lost their own knees.

[deft lily]

[unique warren]

I have no clue who Fovos is

[fierce nebula]

Brainstorm before trove 2

[deft lily]

Moon lord

[cunning sequoia]

its moon lord

[wicked halo]

I had the Evangelion scene in mind.

[hasty tangle]

why doesnt ML just go into a drunk world to get his legs back

is he stupid

[pseudo vector]

Fovos is calamity’s name for the moon lord

[unique warren]

…Interesting, why the name change?

[pseudo vector]

lore

[wicked halo]

Why not?

[deft lily]

damn why didnt he think of that

[fierce nebula]

Because aura

[cunning sequoia]

because he wasnt always the moon lord in universe

[dusk bronze]

both names are correct in the lore

[unique warren]

I mean he’s very obviously just Cthulhu and idk why that needs to be changed per se

[dusk bronze]

they're interchangeable

[deft lily]

lame

[rain arrow]

Cause Moon Lord is a title, not a name.

[urban cloak]

Death mode ml will astral project into a drunk world and get his legs back trust

[dusk bronze]

❌

[wicked halo]

Cthulhu in the lore of Calamity is like.

[fathom girder]

sir that's years old fandom

[wicked halo]

Draconic tongue for "evil-ass monster" or something like that.

[cunning sequoia]

he's cthulhu in looks at most

[unique warren]

In Vanilla he is straight up Cthulhu but sure

[cunning sequoia]

doesnt really share any of the other traits

[dusk bronze]

vanilla lore is irrelevant

[fierce nebula]

Well this isn’t vanilla

[unique warren]

Then who is Cthulhu in cal

[deft lily]

🙏

[wicked halo]

I just explained it.

[dusk bronze]

no one

[unique warren]

So why is Eye of Cthulhu called that

[wicked halo]

Cthulhu is basically a generic term for "evil monster"

[urban cloak]

It just is idk

[wicked halo]

In an ancient tongue.

[dusk bronze]

.

[unique warren]

🤔

[rain arrow]

In vanilla the Mech bosses were made by the Mechanic who was forced to make them by, honestly I don’t have a clue.

[cunning sequoia]

cthulhu is basically a descriptor for horrible monsters

[unique warren]

Weird change to make but alright

[deft lily]

this isnt very updatioues

[pseudo vector]

moon lord is another boss i want to give huge attacks that feel fitting to the boss’ scale

[fierce nebula]

Also many parts of the mod aren’t accurate to the lore anyways

[wicked halo]

Lunatic Cultist methinks.

[fierce nebula]

It’s an unfinished mod

[cunning sequoia]

kinda like how goliath is a descriptor for large things

despite originally being a name

[dusk bronze]

make him throw chunks of the moon at you thanos style

[rain arrow]

Then why wasn’t he around until you beat Golem?

[unique warren]

Sure but my point is moreso that that seems like an unnecessary change

[deft lily]

phantasmal death ray but its actually good

[dusk bronze]

coincidence

[rain arrow]

Make him summon the entire moon Majora style.

[fierce nebula]

If the lore they wanted to make doesn’t include cthulhu why should it

[craggy wagon]

give him a spooky evil laugh when he spawns PLEASE

[wicked halo]

I. Hate. The. Mini. Death Rays.

[pseudo vector]

phantasmal death ray buts its like the fucking wrath of the machines thanatos death ray

[cunning sequoia]

its better than writing the whole lore around cthulhu

[deft lily]

TRUE

[cunning sequoia]

who already is part of an established universe

[wicked halo]

Phantasmal Death Ray is fine in vanilla but the mini ones are absolutely horrid.

[cunning sequoia]

vanilla doesnt give a shit because vanilla lore is vagueness upon vagueness

[fierce nebula]

Vanilla barely has lore

[wicked halo]

In vanilla lore is not a priority at all.

[cunning sequoia]

yeah

[primal badge]

similar to even the word colossal

[deft lily]

vanilla lore is very strange on its own tbh

[cunning sequoia]

so they can just use cthulhu cause why not

[craggy wagon]

make him focus all of the eyes together for it 👀

[fierce nebula]

It’s not a priority in the same way it is in calamity

[wicked halo]

It's better off if you just make up your own.

[primal badge]

from colossus, a huge statue type

[cunning sequoia]

they dont need to explain it

[unique warren]

I do not particularly see why that would be an issue but alright

[stone fiber]

Moon Lord rework better be like this
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oEZs5sTioYI

[cunning sequoia]

because calamity doesnt want to be a story about cthulhu

[primal badge]

Vanilla lore is like, flavor that barely exists

[dusk bronze]

the lore centers around gods and dragons

fovos was just the catalyst

[unique warren]

Then make Cthulhu a side thing, like Fovos pretty much already seems to be

[craggy wagon]

say that again?

[deft lily]

Some sort of... tale of a cruel world....

🗣️

[wicked halo]

No?

[dusk bronze]

dude fovos is THE guy

[wicked halo]

That wouldn't make sense at all.

[cunning sequoia]

how would you make cthulhu a side thing

[dusk bronze]

the one who caused everything

[wicked halo]

Fovos isn't even a side thing they're literally one of the most important characters in the lore.

[deft lily]

fovos literally almost killed zeratros

[unique warren]

🤔

[rain arrow]

I mean picking eldritch horror for a game that’s mostly about a dude who’s able to kill anything, no matter how strong is honestly kinda a weird choice.

[deft lily]

The dragon king

[wicked halo]

As what Xzier said, they're the catalyst.

[wicked halo]

Distortion:

[unique warren]

Not particularly?

[dusk bronze]

the age of dragons wouldn't have ended if he never showed up

[stone fiber]

Make it like the giga doomsday from EBF5

[unique warren]

Sure but he doesn’t seem to be as much of a focus as Yharim, Draedon, Calamitas and the like

[wicked halo]

Although Distortion isn't really eldritch horror? It's like a diet version since it doesn't seem as invincible.

[dusk bronze]

yeah he's not a main character

but still really fuckin important

[wicked halo]

It's like.

[unique warren]

Sure

[fierce nebula]

[wicked halo]

Bardock from DBZ.

[fierce nebula]

Have you read the lore

[fathom girder]

shush why do you pretend to know more than everyone else

[wicked halo]

He's not a main character but he's still very important for the backstory.

[fathom girder]

it's annoying

[unique warren]

But it’s not a Fovos focused story, I don’t think?

[unique warren]

I genuinely am not

[fierce nebula]

Have you read the lore

[dusk bronze]

it is not

[unique warren]

I could reread it, it’s been a while

[dusk bronze]

something something google dockey

[deft lily]

I recommend you read the lore (as someone who hasn't read the lore themselves)

[wicked halo]

Check the pins.

[dusk bronze]

in #lore-discussion

[unique warren]

In this channel?

[dusk bronze]

the first pin

[rain arrow]

Like I thought Cthulhu was one of those things that was beyond understanding and completely beyond any semblance of human control.

[unique warren]

Oh yeah that makes more sense

[wicked halo]

Don't use the lore items in the game they're written by Yharim who's very biased.

He's like.

The most biased dude in existence.

[dusk bronze]

yeah that's pretty much what fovos is also

[deft lily]

anyways, becoming more updateious now

brainstorm.. friday!

[cunning sequoia]

use them but dont treat them like absolute truth

they're still lore

[stone fiber]

[cunning sequoia]

just, from a character's perspective

[unique warren]

That’s kind of a misunderstanding of the original Call of Cthulhu story and H.P. lovecraft’s universe

[wicked halo]

Well yeah but you should take them with a grain of salt.

[rain arrow]

He looks pretty dead to me.

[wicked halo]

A massive grain of salt.

[dusk bronze]

because you kill him

[unique warren]

Cthulhu is actually pretty insignificant to the wider world of Lovecraft, despite being by far the most popular part of it

[rain arrow]

Yeah, so much for “beyond any semblance of control”

[dusk bronze]

do you know how obscenely overpowered the terrarian is compared to an average human

see: town npcs

[cunning sequoia]

cthulhu got hit by a boat in the lovecraft story

it didnt kill him but it did make him leave

[wicked halo]

The beginner Terrarian is already a fucking specimen.

[dusk bronze]

the only reason you stood a fighting chance is because you knew to target the weak points

[craggy wagon]

brimstone witch

[wicked halo]

They're decently above the average human.

[dusk bronze]

the dragons couldn't even figure that out

[unique warren]

That’s kind of a holdover from the time period, since steam boats were kinda the strongest thing Lovecraft could think of

[cunning sequoia]

death of the author and allat

[rain arrow]

I mean they don’t start out that strong, they work their way there. In fact I’d argue that some vanilla town npcs are stronger than a terrarian at the very start.

[rain arrow]

Ok, that’s hilarious.

[rain arrow]

They should have played more Zelda then.

[dusk bronze]

well yeah but like
someone strong enough to kill wof would become a legend passed down through history

[unique warren]

It just seems odd since, at least from what I’m hearing, Fovos has a pretty similar role to vanilla’s Cthulhu in the lore just with a lesser focus

[craggy wagon]

i just imagine the one spongebob scene with the dutchman getting hit by the lawnmower

[dusk bronze]

moonlord is quite significantly above that level

[rain arrow]

The Terrarian’s true ability is being able to see health bars.

[high scaffold]

2 days

[wicked halo]

Getting Zeratros a McDonalds Sprite and seeing him solo Fovos.

[unique warren]

Yeah looking at his section on the lore document, he really does just seem like the same guy as vanilla with less focus on him in surrounding stuff

[dusk bronze]

i guess

[rain arrow]

Zeratros should have played Ocarina of time. Then he would have been able to beat Fovos without dying.

[unique warren]

Like I kinda get it I suppose but honestly it seems a tad unnecessary and perhaps a holdover from when ML being Cthulhu was weirdly ambiguous...?

[fierce nebula]

Zeratros should have played trove

The best game

[rain arrow]

Zeratros should have played Terraria, then he would know how to beat Fovos.

[dusk bronze]

true

[wicked halo]

It explains how the Gods were created, why the Auric Dragons are reduced to just one, the Sky Islands and a couple other things.

[unique warren]

I mean just the name change

Like it's no biggie and I don't actually care that much but it's just a tad odd

[dusk bronze]

the rename was mostly to disconnect him from brain of cthulhu since they're completely unrelated now

[unique warren]

I see

[dusk bronze]

it was created by the crimson

and isn't really important at all

[unique warren]

A bit of a shame for me but also like

[dusk bronze]

kinda just fodder

[unique warren]

He still has the same role that vanilla Cthulhu had in its lore

Just Dragons instead of Dryads

[wicked halo]

The Crimson and Corruption are also what's left from dead evil Gods.

[dusk bronze]

yeah

[wicked halo]

With the Perforators and Hive Mind being the remains of the God of War and the God of Dogma respectively.

[dusk bronze]

plus the other evil gods

[unique warren]

Like from what I'm reading of the lore it seems more like a huge modification of vanilla lore with a bunch of stuff added more than it is entirely disconnected from it

[dusk bronze]

almost like calamity is a modification of the vanilla game

[unique warren]

And I mean that in no way as a critique, mind you

[unique warren]

Huh? What? Idk about that

I need to see a source

[spark kiln]

no it’s in terraria not source

[unique warren]

Oh, thanks

Brimstone from TBoI?

i JUST started a playthrough with my friend, will i need to create a new world to play calamity or can i just stay as it is?

[young notch]

You’re gonna miss out on the new Draedon labs but otherwise you should still be able to catch all the new stuff they added

[supple perch]

oh ok, but i do have some addons and they'll probably break, can i choose to not update calamity until i finish the playthrough?

[fierce nebula]

Which addons

[craggy wagon]

you may need to intentionally turn off automatically updating addons on steam (if thats a thing)

[supple perch]

infernum, wrath of the gods, hunt of the old gods and catalyst

[hasty tangle]

infernum will update instantly

idk about the others

[fathom girder]

Infernum will be updating INSTANTLY

[rich crystal]

Broooo I’m so excited

So it’ll be on 1.4.5 right?

[fierce nebula]

No

[final dune]

when will the update be released time wise?

[fierce nebula]

2 days

[rich crystal]

Either way that’s peak

[hasty tangle]

probably at about 6 pm

[rich crystal]

I’m still excited

[hasty tangle]

if thats what you mean

[final dune]

yes thanks, you wouldnt by any chance know the time zone?

[fierce nebula]

6pm EST?

[pseudo vector]

about 6pm EST is what ozz wants to achieve ideally

[hasty tangle]

yes

est

[pseudo vector]

but that's also down to tmod to some extent

[rich crystal]

I’m glad I haven’t started a 1.4.5 playthrough yet cause I’d rather this completely

I really tried to do a vanilla playthrough but it’s just so slow

[supple perch]

ok then, thx

[pseudo vector]

i would personally suggest doing a base calamity playthrough without addons though for your initial brainstorm playthrough though

[dense sundial]

tmod is expected to port to 1.4.5 in like SEPTEMBER

[wicked halo]

I haven't done a 1.4.5 playthrough just yet.

[pseudo vector]

chances are you'll miss out on a fair amount of things that base calamity has updated

[rich crystal]

Yea I have before, I might do a base calamity instead of Infernum for this run

[dense sundial]

like literally every boss if you have infernum

[wicked halo]

I'll probably just get Catalyst and Wrath of the Gods.

Oh and Hunt of the Old God.

[pseudo vector]

if you want to properly experience the update, don't use addons

[rich crystal]

Did every boss her reworked i thought it was just DoG and Brain

[pseudo vector]

we don't know about the others updating as soon as brainstorm drops

[wicked halo]

It's just DoG and Brain.

[dense sundial]

idt there are really any addons i like enough to use for 2.1

[pseudo vector]

other bosses got some changes and touch ups

like providence and old duke with some visual updates

[wicked halo]

I think Calamitas Clone is getting some changes.

[dense sundial]

how many bosses have gotten substantial changes? is it pretty much all of them atp

[rich crystal]

What class got the most changes? Depending on what I’ll probably do that class

[halcyon seal]

I don’t remember hearing about any changes to leviana

[rich crystal]

Or reworks for weapons

[halcyon seal]

Or yharon

[pseudo vector]

melee and mage got the most love this update

[dense sundial]

she has a dynamic arena but the rest is entirely visual

[halcyon seal]

Also desert scourge but I don’t think it counts

[rich crystal]

I’ve never done a mage playthrough ever

Vanilla or modded

[wicked halo]

Melee and Mage got the most reworks.

[dense sundial]

DS is one major update away from the most major rework in calamity history

[pseudo vector]

i would suggest mage personally for brainstorm

[wicked halo]

Ranger and Rogue are close seconds.

[dense sundial]

so yeah idm it not changing much yet

[wicked halo]

Summoner got the least.

[halcyon seal]

Yeah that’s why I said I don’t think it counts

[pseudo vector]

mage is awesome in the update from experience

[dusk bronze]

[rich crystal]

I’ve never liked mage cause of the mana usage

[craggy wagon]

yay time to play more mage :3

[halcyon seal]

Brainstorm Update Leak: brainstorm will. This change is going to

[dense sundial]

i would still like to see it tweaked somewhat because i do have notable issues with current

[dusk bronze]

mana might be kinda fun now
