#

Guys what best class in calamity rn? Summoner feels kinda ass better then rogue tho

primal badge
#

oh like the sleep dart you mean

misty solstice

A summon weapon thats a gun could be cool, and you shoot your summons to empower them

summoner has some hilarious items rn

primal badge
dull heart
#

namely

Dreadmine Staff and Spider Staff

#

are both quite silly

dreadmine is on par with cadaverous carrion lol

so 2.1.2 will fix it

halcyon seal
#

Has anyone tested it on Provi

misty solstice
misty solstice

cause to my understanding its still doing the higher end of dps

Also are you testing on actual bosses

The main weapon is just healing/damage

(not everything for those who will correct me)

So what are your kill times

Yes

That's why there were so many

halcyon seal
#

You can still stack whip effects like Snapthorn though

misty solstice
halcyon seal
#

That’ll be removed in 1.4.5, obviously

prisma cipher
#

wonder how cnidarian bug works with whip stacking

#

considering cnidarian gives 2 tag damage

#

and can be used simultaneously as whips

halcyon seal
#

The hell is cnidarian bug

misty solstice

hi users

misty solstice

make it like a mp weapoon

halcyon seal

but you can use other items

misty solstice

OFMG WE GOT A SOMA PRIME BUFF

honest trail
#

why there is so many bug about can use items both

fathom girder
#

It got a buff?

#

was the shred buffed or sumn

misty solstice
fathom girder
#

oh yeah wow

misty solstice
#

it got reworked

#

but it is an overall buff

fathom girder
#

It's now more in-line with how soma works in warframe

#

and yea that's notably stronger lul

misty solstice
#

yuh

#

I might have to go to hardmode just for this

prisma cipher
#

seemingly both the effect from cnidarian and a whip coexists

#

isnt that neat

misty solstice
#

also did dawnlight get a resprite?

prisma cipher
#

shush

#

away

#

with you

#

go back to your hole

dull heart
#

oh wait

prisma cipher
#

dont fix cnidarian

dull heart
#

i thought you meant cnidarian summon tag was stacking

#

with whips summon tag

prisma cipher
#

i was

#

but i tested with like

#

squirrel squire staff that was dealing 30 damage

dull heart
#

the video you just sent was not that

prisma cipher
#

so may just have been damage variable

dull heart
#

yeah

#

probably waas

prisma cipher

idc enough to fix that

too busy fixing the swarmer

man I couldve swore there was a book that summoned bees

amber sparrow

What happened to the stormjaw staff? I'm looking for in in the recipe browser and I dont see it or anything resembling it

dull heart
#

it was never craftable

misty solstice
#

mhm

amber sparrow
#

maybe I was using an addon that made it craftable

dull heart
#

at least not within the last few years

lean relic
#

After all those reworks and changes, Miracle Matter weapon series feels pretty weak now
they need rework ‼️ ‼️

misty solstice
#

though people do have mods that make calamity items craftable so I put that litte note in there

hard copper
#

Nvm, 2.1 changelogs say it already does

icy stump
#

How broken would be an alcohol that gives an x1.5 for current drop chances but enemies wouldn't drop money? (For example, RoD in expert would be 3%)

high scaffold
#

I absolutely love the new wulfrum tiles andnfurniture

#

Honestly wulfrum is only a few steps away from being the most polished part of the mod

fossil parrot
#

how do you get the opposite evil biome key now? it's not dropping from WoF

icy stump
#

Biome mimic

#

You can create an underground area with that biome and use Bloody Mary

high scaffold
#

I would love to see wulfrum enemies get updated

#

Maybe one or two new ones

fathom girder
#

There's enough variety- not to mention they're basic on purpose

#

They're shitty scrapmetal robots

high scaffold
#

Their ai is sometimes stupid

#

Too stupid at that

fathom girder
#

They are the lowest possible quality robots you can make

high scaffold
#

To a point where ground robots can go up one tile

pulsar cobalt
#

or more specifically

dull heart
#

wow theres a lot of bees that didn't get hive pack

pulsar cobalt
#

two of them are just copy pastes

high scaffold
#

But just resprites with minor ai tweaks would satisfy me enough

fathom girder
#

hm

#

ig I never paid much attention to them

high scaffold
#

Ive got an absolutely crazy idea rn

fathom girder
#

betcha you could toss the idea in either a suggestion or a balance request

high scaffold
#

A wulfrum mount mobile turret that is has one big rolling ball for movement a seat on top of it to the back and a gun in front of the seat

misty solstice
#

would be awesome if they got fixed

fathom girder
#

I wonder if the scrapmetal nature of them could lend to more synergy between the robots

#

instead of only that one wulfrum sentry buffing the other wulfrum enemies

fathom girder
#

great minds think alike what can I say

high scaffold
#

Do I bless you all with my beautiful concept art made in paint in like 8 minutes?

steel pike
#

Mounts that could fire shit has been a want I’ve had for a long time

tropic jolt
high scaffold
#

The next step is I could try sprite mashing

dull heart
#

I added Hive Pack support to:

  • Alchemical Decanter
  • The Swarmer
  • The Hive
  • Plaguenade
  • Virili
  • Fuel Cell Bundle
misty solstice
dull heart
#

which should be every bee thing that was missing it

fathom girder
#

easily

dull heart
#

plague hive revival...

#

if you want maximum beeage

high scaffold
#

If only hive pack had a hm upgrade

pulsar cobalt
dull heart
#

Decanter + Deific + Plaguebringer Armor + Virili + Fuel Cell Bundle + The Swarmer

dull heart
fathom girder
#

Hive pack's boosts seem rather fine tuned for each bee synergy

dull heart
#

Hive Pack performed as well as Sigil of Calamitas on the swarmer

fathom girder
#

like it doesn't need a hm upgrade cuz doze can apply its upgrades to bee things fit accordingly fropm the look of it

dull heart
#

in my tests

lapis oak
#

I actually forgot Flask got renamed to Decanter

#

Like genuinely forgot holy shut

dull heart
#

Decanter gets

  • 9 -> 12 bees on hit
  • 7 -> 6 frame seeker cooldown
grim pecan

#

Hive pack but green, its absolutely identical to regular but is plague themed

dull heart

12 bees is neato

let me have my pun doze

no.

Toxic Heart give hive pack effects when

unique warren
#

What if instead of bees they were dees

dull heart
#

(that would be so broken)

fathom girder
#

any idea when that patch will release cuz I wanna bees

dull heart
#

depends on how quickly the crash bug gets fixed

pulsar cobalt

rename it from toxic heart to like uhh

unique warren

just flat out 1.167x dmg bc i didn't wanna dig in her AI

and that's how much hornet gets boosted by

#

nahhh hive pack should stay as THE mainstay bee buff tool

#

it's an expert item

pulsar cobalt
hoary sorrel
#

yo why cant i spawn Astrum Deus?? he keeps despawning after i try to summon him

dull heart
#

Swarmer also got a bunch of other changes too

pulsar cobalt
#

wat if we gave hive pack an upgrade but it didnt do anything aside from allow plague bees be upgraded

#

so people can figure out it synergises

blazing field
#

expert item !

#

dont give it upgrades !

kill everyone !

  • 3 -> 2 bee/wasps per shot
  • bees and wasps use 5 static iframes and can pierce
high scaffold
#

Actualy I already have ideas of what items I want to use for sprite mashing for my Wulfrum rolling turret comcept

pulsar cobalt
#

instead of hive pack saying it buffs stuff from 10 tiers later

pulsar cobalt
#

tupid

#

idiot

blazing field
#

Aren't they changing those

dull heart
#

and hive pack on swarmer:

  • 2 to 3 bees/wasps per shot
  • wasps get +5 damage and +5 AP
  • bees get big bees (same as vanilla)
earnest jewel
#

Hive Pack should be upgraded into Swarm Pack which adds even more, stronger bees so we can be bees. This is good news.

dull heart
#

no

#

hive pack should not upgrade

earnest jewel
#

This is not good news. How will we be bees?

dull heart
#

hive pack boosting the star "bees" from deific is so funny to me

blazing field
#

Just make it so there's a tooltip that can be expanded with shift that shows all weapons that it applies to

#

That way it isn't

#

Cluttering ur screen

dull heart
#

also

#

good news

pulsar cobalt
dull heart
#

for once i did a perfectly balanced rework

#

The Swarmer got 3:53 on moon lord

#

3:54 with hive pack instead of Sigil of Cal

#

if you didn't use Mana Flower instead of Sigil of Cal it would skyrocket in power

fathom girder
#

tbh I think the expert accessories should act like the stones

lyric trellis
#

Welcome back Plague hive

fathom girder
#

mainstay accessories that can always be useful in a run but exist as their own thing

fathom girder
#

chaos stone

#

life stone

pulsar cobalt
#

oh

fathom girder
#

or hell this isn't a stone but mana polarizer NAILS this idea

dull heart
#

chaos, bloom, aero, cryo

pulsar cobalt
#

also its bloom not life

fathom girder
#

sorry

pulsar cobalt
#

also cryo sucks ngl

dull heart
#

cryo needs help

#

the other stones are good

fathom girder
#

Cryo is still kinda weird but it at least buffs cold damage ig

dull heart
#

cryo should be a defensive stone i think

#

build up a cryo shield

lyric trellis
#

Almost forgot bloom stone isn’t a bottom 3 accessory anymore

fierce hearth
#

Hi I'm awake again I'm sorry for the adrenaline hate rant last night

bloom stone is so weird

its defensive and mobility at the same time

Why'd they remove the Ice Turtle Shell recipe
Literally had to spend 2 hours grinding for one to drop, the recipe was so much better from a QoL standpoint

steel pike
#

the hand of god is typing

fathom girder
#

and it's about qolslop

#

Spend your time farming that's what terraria's all about

#

Build up a farm

#

do something interesting

#

it ain't a speedrun

pulsar cobalt

use the fifteen spawn increasers they give you

Calamity is trying to move away from being an “everything mod”

#

Ok let’s not dogpile them

amber latch
earnest jewel
fathom girder
#

you can use cheatsheet if it's really that annoying

halcyon seal
#

There’s a mod by a cal dev that adds back old qol

earnest jewel
#

The mod that reimplements the removed Calamity QoL.

fathom girder
#

I have cheatsheet on the backup for when farms are a pain in the ass

amber latch
#

I want to do interesting things
that's the point
Farming a rare enemy for a 2% drop for 2 hours isn't interesting or fun.

halcyon seal
#

I always have dragonlens enabled for when random bugs pop up

amber latch
#

But at least with a crafting recipe there's some effort.

halcyon seal
earnest jewel
#

But it removes most of the reason to play the game.

halcyon seal
#

If you just use base spawn rates of course it’s gonna take forever

earnest jewel
#

Which is the main problem people have with Calamity.

proper thunder
#

i though zergs were nuked lowk

pulsar cobalt
fathom girder
#

Bloody mary was added as another farming option

#

that thing is fun

amber latch
fathom girder
#

Check out bloody mary

#

it's an alcohol that also buffs spawnrates

or build a mob farm

misty solstice

#

copper pic? yeah we minning to hell with that

proper thunder
#

i want them to remove more qol because why does the mod that doubles the content take half the time of the base game

pulsar cobalt
proper thunder
#

it doesnt make sense at all

hard copper
#

You could also use cheat sheet, the best qol mod

amber latch
pulsar cobalt
#

thats hilarious

proper thunder
misty solstice
#

I feel like I should post the sticker again

proper thunder
#

i don’t want everything handed to me

misty solstice
#

yeah idk how to say this

#

but dont play likew

#

any mmo ever

tropic jolt
amber latch
#

Yeah
I don't
For the above reasons
Farming for drops for hours is not an enjoyable gameplay loop imo

proper thunder
#

terraria was built around farming and grinding for the best loot, dont wanna grind? thats okay, you get worse loot

vivid hemlock
#

ive never had an issue with farming tbh

misty solstice
#

you should play touhou

#

its like terraria

#

but no grinding

tropic jolt
#

SCARY

misty solstice
#

specifically touhou 15

tropic jolt
#

no more

proper thunder
#

if you dont wanna farm, journey mdoe is right there

amber latch
#

Boss farming is at least kinda fun because the bosses are fun
But, like
Half of ice shell farming is just waiting for the enemy to actually spawn
And then when it does spawn it dies in one hit and drops
essence of eluem
and nothing else

rancid pagoda
#

okay but it's not Calamity's job to make things easier to get

amber latch
#

Ok but they literally had the recipe and removed it this update
It's been there for so very long that when I tried to find a replacement, everywhere I looked still suggested to use Calamity for it

proper thunder
#

again, journey mode solves every problem you’re having, its a vanilla feature

rancid pagoda
#

people only complain about things being removed but never complained that something wasn't added

Onto positive things
As a melee user, I really enjoy both of the endgame swords

earnest jewel
vast ferry
#

It's barely used and is just used for astral bars and stardust

halcyon seal
#

I think rod should not have increased drop rates

amber latch
#

Exoblade and Earth both feel very cool to use and can get insane high damage numbers with the right accessories
Like
Enough damage that DoG starts damage gating you

halcyon seal
#

Like I like using qol, I have qot on in basically every playthrough

proper thunder
halcyon seal
#

But I’m also using other mods

halcyon seal
vast ferry
rancid pagoda
#

they would remove Normality Relocator if it wasn't a donor item

I say this as someone who was carried by rod

is it intentional that the mode switch for Nullification Pistol is way faster after you've gone to like stage 2 of firing?

and that you can double switch really quickly to go back to the one you were using

based on the name I assumed clusters would be meant for AoE

rotund venture
#

Given how good some of the 1.4.5 whips are I can see that happening

misty wren
#

those are also getting turbo nerfed

pulsar cobalt
#

i mean i think the bigger issue is that

hollow harness
#

starcrasher my beloved ❤️

pulsar cobalt
#

most minions are just kinda strong by themselves

#

even without whips theyre still going to be fundamentally free damage

still bluff
#

when summoner gets rebalanced the endgame vanilla whips will no longer be turbo strong

misty wren
still bluff
#

we'll also be nerfing most of the summons a lot tbf

pulsar cobalt
#

and when theyre supposed to be half a class they will be strong

rotund venture
#

Possession will need some serious balancing for sure

fierce hearth
#

Mixed summoner will always be strong because mixed summoner was always meant to be done, it's free damage. You can't meaningfully "fix" free damage

misty wren
#

but yeah the issue with removing summon penalty is that summons are all balanced to be weapons on their own and viable as such

hollow harness
#

most whips in vanilla are like fine I think, just possession but it is justified for being endgame but for cal it will need readjustments

still bluff
fierce hearth
#

Whips are only good if you're doing a pure-summoner build, if you have something even slightly incentivizing you to not do pure-summoner, then alternative weapons instantly become competitive

still bluff
#

the summon penalty counterbalances that not that it works at 25% at all that needs to go back to 50%

misty wren
#

with nothing to offset that

worn geode
#

any mod that makes it so i can use death mod in expert instead of master mode out yet

#

i fucking hate master mode

#

i only play expert

rotund venture
#

I just wish I could so hybrid builds with my two free summon slots and my minions wont lose damage just for existing

still bluff
#

you still get free damage

hollow harness
#

I tried hybrid building at least in the pre-hm pre-skeletron section you defitively can do more damage than using snapthorn

misty wren
strange cargo
#

Thats because as the game progresses, the numbers get bigger

rotund venture
#

I plan on doing a classless playthrough soon is the thing

#

And summons losing damage just feels bad, even though I know its deserved

still bluff
#

oh that means you won't get the penalty

#

it doesn't happen with classless weapons

rotund venture
#

Not what I meant

misty wren
#

or tools that arent grax or phripper

hollow harness
#

classless as in summoner hybrid?

rotund venture
#

Hybrid playthough nore accurate

#

No class specific armors and accs (until auric, sad)

hollow harness
#

like using summoner gear and accs that share stats between other classes and summoner so that you can just use a weapon from another class and combine stuff

rotund venture
#

I will be ignoring class accs is the thing so Ill only have 2-3 slots

But I want a death mode on expert back

Was wondering if any mods for that are out yet

I don't like this change of master mode

I find expert the most fun difficulty

gloomy grove

death is master's cal difficulty and rev is expert's cal difficulty, thats it

you want something that provided no benefits over the current system

There was still balance that every single difficulty had to adhere to and it was just a pain in the ass

#

streamlining it to this is easier on the devs and also doesn't change much for the player

#

as stuff like master rev or expert death really weren't anything special

deft lily

and also current death mode is not that bad lol

#

like genuinely i dont get what the whining is about

fathom girder

Change bad

right

change is bad because im not used to it!!!

also ive seen very few ppl complain about the difficulty streamlining, surprisingly

we know nothing
