infernum really isnt comparable to basecal

when they say it changes bosses they mean "the entire roster might as well be entirely different"

#

the only fights that are particularly reminsicent of the basecal fights are like
duke and hive mind

frozen horizon
#

Why?

tulip sonnet
#

idk i just want more of a challenge than revengance

misty wren
#

cal is generally designed around on the fly reactions and heat of the moment decisions
infernum is generally designed around pattern memorization and more calculated decisions

grave geyser
#

so

fierce hearth
#

How you define difficulty for yourself would definitely change how you feel about Infernum's challenge, yeah. If you like precise execution checks, then Infernum is your speed, but if you want more freeform chaos then I guess base Calamity is more your thing, but I would say Calamity's bosses are a lot more flawed

#

a few ai changes but its mostly the bosses being tankier so you actually experience more of the fight

I still skipped most of DoG's ai in Death mode clueless

I wasn't even using an optimal setup apparently

also note that the way you described infernum applies to 2.1 brain

hence the generally

I used Crescent but Gladius is apparently absolutely busted

#

tau cannon is goated for dog but its hard to use

#

the mental tax of charging it and having to dodge properly

misty wren
fierce hearth
#

I also feel like there's enough rng in Brain's fight to still have it be very reactive

#

Even if there are specific answers to every attack

dense sundial
#

i mean yeah

grave geyser
# dense sundial fabsol bosses are generally not very designed

hmmm
if we define "designed" as "has distinct attacks that change how you have to approach the fight and work on a set cycle"
how many fab bosses actually fill that criteria

off the top of my head:
scal
provi
eye of Cthulhu, of all things
guardians
old duke
uhhhhhhh

dense sundial
#

infernum has its fair share of reasonable rng too

fierce hearth
#

i was gonna object to old duke and then i remembered he actually dashes in 2.1

aureus has designit's just the response to every attack is "keep running"

#

That's true. Animate Aureus a donkey kick

and i mean directly in front. like walking a dog kind of directly in front

#

cryogen I guess?

dense sundial
#

cryo makes you move around it and between its projectiles and that's it

pulsar cobalt
#

nuh uh it has deadly sphere ai too!

fierce hearth
#

Yeah Cryo's phases don't meaningfully change how you behave with it

pulsar cobalt
#

aka flies directly to you

fierce hearth
#

It's pretty much always "run away and weave between projectiles"

dense sundial
#

i love my stupid deadly sphere x skeletron prime x flocko son

grave geyser
#

brimmy and plant would probably qualify if only barely if not for the fact that their "pattern" is just internal timers that happen to look like a pattern

#

all boss fights in cal suck besides rev+ brain and DoG
i refuse to compliment or point out any "redeeming qualities" (because there is none) when it comes to pink pony bigot's work

dense sundial
#

look i'm as much a fabosses hater as anyone

#

but why are you always so reductive about things

fierce hearth
#

Prov is engaging but only in terms of movement, the actual attacking her part is completely paper thin

dense sundial
#

surely there is at least one redeeming quality in the whole gamut of fabosses

#

revengeance actually makes eye of cthulhu better

deft lily
grave geyser
dense sundial
#

it also makes moon lord less bad

fierce hearth
#

Scal and Exos have interesting structure but both are mechanically underwhelming

still bluff
grave geyser
#

exos are just projectile vomit in the shape of a structured fight

fierce hearth
#

Yeah

deft lily
#

i refuse to defend the work of a transphobe

fierce hearth
#

They also are weakest when they're fighting together which feels so stupid. Final phase should be them doing a terrifying combo attack, not you whittling the last one down

a lot of the essence is still there by proxy of it

pulsar cobalt

being made by him

dense sundial
#

the very idea of x piece of calamity content comes from fab

#

should we destroy it regardless of what we might want to do with it

grave geyser
#

removing the entire calamity lore because all its main characters were made by or in colaboration with fabsol

dense sundial
#

removing dog because i headcanon that he's dedicated to fab

pulsar cobalt
dull heart
#

I have an idea

deft lily
#

yeah in retrospective my original comment was a very flawed
im more or less just tired of people finding reasons to defend him under the pretext of "without him, (x) wouldn't exist"

dull heart
#

What if instead of calamity

#

We had a mod that like

grave geyser
#

he's gonna describe roots watch

pulsar cobalt
#

doze try not to plug roots challenge

dense sundial
#

none of us would be here if not for fab and that is not a defense

20% damage isnt that much

buoyant pulsar
#

what tf is rtn

hasty tangle
#

its additive, along with nearly all other damage

radiant flower

and the armor pen is weapon specific

and by the time you get post polter, you'll already have a lot of it

arc flash should be better but bro has it on until post superbosses im crying

#

If you’re gonna run general offensive accessories than honestly there isn’t much better than rtn I think at that point

fierce hearth
#

Compare RTN to like, Affliction and ask yourself, is 10% more damage and a tiny bit of armor piercing worth All Of That Other Stuff

pre rework dsa was so terrible

dsa?

literally a nohitters-only acc

#

oh
no idea what that is

hasty tangle

currently its 1.2x damage but -15% dr

radiant flower

used to be 25% additive skull

hasty tangle

used to be +25% damage with the same penalty

The controversy everyone disagrees

deft lily

yeah that literally cater's to nohitters what 💀

grave geyser
#

anyway boss discussion earlier got me having opinions n shit again

deft lily
misty wren
radiant flower
#

im actually very unaware of offensive accessories since i basically just run wings + 1 offensive accessory + statis/aegis + defensive

deft lily
grave geyser
fierce hearth
#

RTN is good in specific setups, but there are many class specific or accessories that offer defensive bonuses that are extremely competitive for your very limited accessory slots

radiant flower
#

except for ranger, because their offensive accessories are really good (daawnlight)

misty wren
#

theres actually a benefit to using it outside of nohitting now, yes, but its still very much a nohit accessory

hasty tangle
#

yeah

#

but at least its not basically nohit exclusive now

dense sundial
grave geyser
fierce hearth
#

I used RTN in my DoG loadout but that was only because I was basically nohitting him anyway (not literally, I did get hit XD)

dense sundial
#

it will be very true melee- (or close-ranged in general-) biased but yeah

sudden cairn
hasty tangle
#

nah, they suck

#

lot of wasted potential

radiant flower
#

dawg the first time i beat exo mechs i literally ran in a straight line

sudden cairn
#

true

misty wren
#

exos used to be fine because they were fun and kinda difficult but now they arent even fun or difficult with their being ass

fierce hearth
#

Exos are rated so low not just because they're mediocre, but because they're mediocre as one of the most important bosses in the mod

hasty tangle
#

^

#

thats why i previously thought dog was so bad

#

not just cuz he was a bad fight, but hes the most famous boss in the mod

#

exos arent as famous but theyre still really important

misty wren
#

exos before like 2.0 was actually pretty fun and i enjoyed it but after that the fight just got worse and worse and worse

radiant flower
#

and after playing both wotm and infernum exo mechs, base cal is so....

deft lily
#

hes literally an icon in the modded terraria community

fierce hearth
#

Exos are also horrifically wasted potential because the fight is structured in a way that utilizes their design in one of the most pointless and ineffectual ways possible

hasty tangle
#

^

#

they literally have ANTI synergy with each other

#

they get EASIER with more of them onscreen

#

which is absolutely hilarious

radiant flower
#

its true! exo mechs are such a cool concept but the fight is so boring once you get past the visual spectacle

misty wren
fierce hearth
#

They're supposed to be a team but they're scariest when alone and you end the fight by picking them off one by one instead of their tactical cooperation scaling as you threaten them

dull heart
#

What did pre 2.0 exos do differently that was more fun

grave geyser
pulsar cobalt
#

ive never experienced pre 2.0 exos so lol lmao

misty wren
#

it was before they were nerfed so extremely

radiant flower
#

1st fight: what the fuck is going on
2nd fight: wait i can just run in a straight line
3rd fight: wtf thats it

#

the progression is so funny

dull heart
#

depending on how crazy the changes I could look at at least making the existing fight better for 2.2 so it's not so awful

#

not on the scale of DoG improvement but

radiant flower
#

ares has attacks that limit where the player goes

grave geyser
#

off the top of my head the biggest differences are:

  • thanatos is actually real
  • twins are no logner braindead
  • you cant just run left and beat mayhem
radiant flower
#

i think that should be more implemented

dull heart
#

wait Thanatos was real

#

What

misty wren
#

yeah thanatos was actually a thing at one point

dull heart
#

goodness fabsol

hasty tangle
grave geyser
#

berserk thana in particular was much faster

dense sundial
#

if you're going to add a cosmos-renowned engineer who communicates with you regularly, gradually builds up hype for himself, and asks you at the very end of the game to duel his magnum opus,

you DO NOT make that magnum opus a clone [exos] of a vanilla clone [oblivion] of a vanilla self-clone [mechs] with absolutely no structure or mechanical intrigue whatsoever

dull heart
misty wren
#

buffing then

dull heart
#

Making them actually at least interesting

#

somewhat

hasty tangle
#

that sounds rather tough

dense sundial
#

if you rework (actually rework) exos more than once i think you're cooked

hasty tangle
#

but youve shown you can do it with the dog rework

#

so i look forward to it

grave geyser
fierce hearth
#

They're still going to be very disappointing conceptually, without a proper rework, but maybe the mayhem can actually feel threatening

dense sundial
#

you have proven to be able to get other things right the first time

dull heart
#

yeah I think the main issue is than and twins both are

#

really bad

#

Ares is okay

grave geyser
#

twins are a lot harder to fix

dense sundial
#

ares is comparatively okay. that does not mean ares is good

dull heart
#

yes

grave geyser
#

because their problems stem from years of nonstop nerfs

dull heart
#

but making ares good requires full rework

cobalt wharf
#

release ares went crazy

#

zero telegraphs 🔥

misty wren
grave geyser
#

oh wait yeah I completely forgot

dense sundial
#

release exos would have been the best base exos if they came with ares telegraphs

grave geyser
#

ares laser actually switched sides

dull heart
#

clearly I should just revert exos files to release files and make it actually run and change nothing else

dense sundial
#

because the version that added ares telegraphs was the beginning of the lobotomies

grave geyser
#

instead of whatever the fuck it does right now

dull heart

iirc it now switches every laser

I spent hours trying to give ONE more attack to polter and failed

hasty tangle
#

kinda makes you wonder if throwing it all out and rewriting it would be faster

barren nacelle
#

Hey how do I make a commit to calpub GitHub I’m not a big GitHub guy how would I go about suggesting that

dull heart
#

If you clone to a GitHub you own, you can then make commits to a branch there and pull request the branch back into calamity

barren nacelle
#

Oh okaaay

dull heart
#

Polter is so simple

#

I could rewrite polter much easier

lyric trellis
dense sundial
#

if you rewrite polter can you make it not drift so spastically

#

🥺

pulsar cobalt
#

polter was called the drift king back in college

#

ive been hit by it drifting way more than any other proper attack it does

quick ranking of all bosses I fought during my Brainstorm Revengeance run

dense sundial
#

i need to back up a lot before i forget something

fierce hearth
#

Ultimately my feelings on Exos is that I wish I could feel their roles in mecha mayhem instead of it being a bullet vomit phase. The Hunters chasing you down and trying to constantly peck at you to keep you from moving too fast, Thanatos cutting off avenues of escape and hammering you when you get sloppy, and Ares being a powerhouse that is terrifying if you let the other 3 box you in

The majority of times I get hit by Polterghast are when it's lining up its dash and its velocity goes absolutely bonkers and slams straight through me because it wants to be on the other side

i appreciate the sentiment but is that really enough of a strength to put old duke above avatar

yes, avatar having a 20 second time to refight doesn't help

dull heart
#

now it's like

#

Really bad

i think polterghast is the one boss that i can feasibly without changing any part of how i fight it

you can feasibly what

#

fierce hearth
#

LMAO

dense sundial

polter genuinely just needs one more attack to have an actual attack cycle and he'd be fine

im so good at nohitting i can nohit the word nohit on complete accident

dull heart
#

not anything mind blowing but like

#

fine

tropic jolt
#

plantera 2

hasty tangle
#

any plans on making him enrage in hell btw

fierce hearth
#

Polterghast is so easy I would tierskip Prov to it and build a tiny arena to fight it in even though its aggression behavior was removed without me knowing

hasty tangle
#

cuz hes easy to lure down there and then just run away forever

dense sundial
#

make polter's hooks do concerted dashes roughly at you like the lifelight swords attack or something

misty wren
#

does polter not have the out of dungeon enrage anymore

twin juniper
#

dungeon guardian projectiles

dense sundial
#

polter has no enrage or despawn at all in 2.1

#

i think

misty wren
#

oh thats really funny

fringe coral
#

polterghast needs an attack to stop circling to be honest

dull heart
#

He leaves on surface still

hasty tangle
#

he still does on the surface

#

yeah

boreal edge
#

Polter hasn't enraged outside the Dungeon in like forever

dull heart
#

bosses that I think could be massively better with relatively minor tweaks:

  • weaver
  • signus
  • void
  • polter
  • exos
#

but figuring out exactly what tweaks feel right is guh

dense sundial
#
  • guards
dull heart
#

I have no opinion on guards as a fight

dense sundial
#

void is pretty much there already imo

fierce hearth
#

Signus would be minor fixes because there's so little there that adding a boss at all is minimal effort

dull heart
#

2.1 void sucks so bad it's so boring

dense sundial
#

the alternative is that it is janky

dull heart
#

void's 1 tweak I think it really needs is all of the DE to share one HP pool

fierce hearth
#

Void is very nothing of a fight yeah. Has some ideas but is too short and shallow

dull heart
#

So you can't just melt the one closet to you and sit still

dense sundial
#

oh wait yeah

hasty tangle
fierce hearth
#

lmao

#

What do you think Signus needs to be a boss?

dull heart
#

weaver phase 1 and phase 4 need help

#

phase 2 and 3 are Fine

#

Not great but Fine

dull heart
fierce hearth
#

LMAO

misty wren
hasty tangle
#

yep

dense sundial
#

i think p3 needs to retain the lightning on charge and not let all its timers overlap

dull heart
#

I don't think signus needs major changes to be a boss I just have no idea what minor changes

fierce hearth
#

You can do literally anything to Signus, there's nothing there. Start fresh. Create something original and beautiful.

dull heart
#

no I can't

misty wren
#

you can, if only you free your mind

hasty tangle
#

signus just has so little to his fight that i dont see what minor changes you could make to him to make him interesting

fierce hearth
#

I think this is a "other devs need to agree and its scope needs to be reasonable" situation

hasty tangle
#

or good

buoyant sun
#

bru i just feel like so stuck rn i do barely any damage and these bosses have so much hp

buoyant sun
dense sundial
#

signus should just be left alone until it can safely get a total overhaul

dull heart
#

signus in 2.1 got slightly less fake

dense sundial
#

by safely i mean once its tier is decided and mobility is flattened and allat

misty wren
#

any minor change to signus ends up being major change because the fight has like 3 things

dull heart
#

(now lanterns die in 3 hits instead of one)

#

void I think would be the easiest to fix

#

Then weaver

#

then polter

#

hmm

Actually no

  • void

  • polter

  • weaver

  • signus

# dull heart - void - polter - weaver - signus

polter angers me to an irrational degree

because I know for a fact that there are enjoyable ways to fight polter its just that the fight makes zero attempt to actually encourage that manner of dodging

Venom arrows are high damage arrows crafted with vials of venom from the witch doctor

Absorber is my go to of the 3 but it's the most annoying to make

fierce hearth
#

I just realized that before 2.1 the best flask to use against Yharon that wasn't Crumbling (which I think would be the #1 choice for almost all loadouts) would've been venom which is funny

dull heart
#

Celestial Shell is the only one of the 3 with notable offensive stats

#

Absorber gives some but not a huge amount

#

And then Ambrosial Ampoule is amazing on deus, providence, and later bosses

hard copper
#

Ambrosial has an upgrade later, where as absorber is a dead end, if that matters to you

dense sundial

#

wrong! Holy flames was buffed enough that it does more damage even though he's resistant

It does more than 4x venom's dps

i was thinking of amalgam venom and not amalgam holy flames for some reason

But yeah pre-brainstorm the best flasks were venom and crumbling, but now it's definitively holy flames without really any competition

is yharon ever getting new sfx? not saying he necessarily needs it or anything but im just wondering what else is being changed along with his sprite

misty solstice

the point is that birds are not weak to cold

#

yharon is weak to cold because he's john fire (video game logic)

then why is he not weak to water

Yeah, I really like the new Abyss lighting, it makes the place even more dangerous, but you can still make it through, you just have to be more cautious, Before, you could kinda just speed down to the bottom because, well, you can see everything, but now, you have to be really careful and actually pay attention, lest you faceplant into a Colossal Squid.

the less "on hit" effects rogue has the better. it was an accessory that didn't add anything to rogue, was annoying, and it being all class opens up the door for a more interesting rework later down the line

why is summoner the debuff class randomly!!!!

fairly tame all things considered

even plasma rod which has phm shadowflame isn't really that great

Except for rn specifically against certain aquatic enemies (and Crawdads for some reason lol) because it's bugged and actively heals a lot of them if they're in water lmao

anyone know what's being done to the lore items or are they staying the same

this is killing me

ashen pivot

fabsol's canyon should be below train wreck

and half of the bosses (assuming ur in basecal) should be in that tier

The best way to have fun is to...

go watch cosmic princess kaguya of course

genuinenly never heard of that

dull heart

It's peak

the first result

that comes up

on google

Doze I am making fucked up emoji combinations again and it’s your fault

deep heart

when i search that up is

"cosmic princess kaguya yuri"

oh no there's a lesbian couple oh no

doesn't matter if it's first or last

it felt so rushed

and yuri is a sexualization term

didnt get any real feel from it

polar tide

yuri is not inherently sexual

deep heart

it is isn't it?

polar tide

no???

ashen pivot

unless u weren't talm to me then i'll shut up

steel pike
dull heart

Yuri and yaoi animes are not inherently sexual at all it literally just means lesbian and gay lol

steel pike

Freddie what is you talm bout

yuri isnt inherently sexual even if we were strictly talking about the japanese anime/manga genre of Yuri

it's all good

u can just skip the ending

make it 2 hours

why was it so rushed

dull heart

the ending was literally built up the entire movie

legit a timeskip then bam movie ended

#

i was bummed out ngl

dull heart

like so many things built up to it

#

I noticed even more on a rewatch

i really want to stay up and play ultrakill but i have class in the morning the moral is never go to college

dull heart
#

stay up and play roots instead

steel pike

I wish I was high on potenus

ok wait the plot twist was actually good

#

i just didnt like the timeskip that much

The timeskip was the weakest part but it didn't feel that out of place to me

Calamity 2.2: Roots Crossover

dull heart
#

And saw the 90 minute episode

#

i did something else bc I don't have time for that

grave geyser
# dull heart I need to do a full fight of it

yknow how people sometimes talk about certain fights describing them as a choreographed dance

night provi is like the only one where that actually feels true to me

when you're dodging the boss correctly theres no awkward movement getting into position for the next attack because if you're positioning well you're already there by the time the attack ends

but at the same time it never feels like the attack is dodging itself because small movement differences over the course of the fight can lead to putting you in positions you havent previously found yourself in

its a fight that I think really benefits from rdr, as weird as that sounds

thorn pier
#

what if u skipped ep 1 🤔

steel pike
#

Have yall watched the movie nope

thorn pier
#

nope

dull heart
dull heart

THIS is why the globs in prov's fight bother me so much

thorn pier

gilded proboscis when its perfectly designed

steel pike

you have to

thorn pier

gilded proboscis CANT ever change

dull heart
#

gilded proboscis is the best item to ever item and I'm definitely not biased mhm

steel pike
#

luminous papaya ass name

polar tide

provi is like a dance and it feels great but then the stupid globs are like having to navigate around a wet spot on the floor with your partner

dull heart
#

see

#

I just don't use an arena

#

problem solved

deep heart
#

whats gilded proboscis

dull heart
#

if there's nowhere for globs to get in my way

grave geyser
#

folly spear

deep heart
#

oh ok

dull heart
#

then I don't have to dodge them

thorn pier
polar tide
#

true. still think the globs should be executed mafia style though

dull heart
#

I am surprised at how hard it is for people to intuit how to use Gilded Proboscis though

deep heart
dull heart
grave geyser
#

I have been thinking about globs as a "ok but what if they were a big pillar of flame" for a little bit now

deep heart
#

i might try true melee if i have free time left

#

after this run

dull heart
#

like if they actually stopped you from rungodding instead of encouraging it

deep heart
#

it seems fun

#

maybe

thorn pier
#

it is fun

#

doze has a vid showcasing it

dull heart
#

true I do

deep heart
#

yeah but it doesnt have the cool flashy attacks

#

that mage has

#

thats the only reason i chose mage

#

thats a bit of a bummer

True melee has flashy attacks

Where do you get guilded proboscis

its never gonna match the awesomeness of some of the mage weapons

what if u just tank them

#

Actually this fight might be less fun than malice dog

deep heart
#

maybe the amount of content mods i added was too much

dull heart
#

I think my fun moments in calamity ranking is

  1. Malice Dog
  2. Solar Psycho Provi
  3. Gilded Proboscis Provi
thorn pier
#

tbf new gilded proboscis also fit inf guards perfectly

dull heart
#

gilded proboscis was an accident low-key

thorn pier
#

how 🤔

dull heart
#

Originally it was only the alt fire with no charge attack

#

But I didn't wanna force people to move always

#

So I came up with the primary fire

thorn pier
#

save of the century

dull heart
#

And then made it cancel endlag into the alt fire

#

And it just feels so good

#

While Gilded Proboscis is not my most interesting or flashy weapon I've made, I 100% think it's my best designed one

She still suffers from the visibility plague though

and can say its a good boss

visibility is the #1 one

major one being that the boss is just jump

like there is no fight

you just jump upwards

you say that and put signus in S??
