Red for Cal amity

[polar tide]

ultrakill 7-s or something

[ashen pivot]

yall are gonna find some embedded bullshit ass code

i bet

[urban cloak]

though as much shit as i talk and as many exaggerations i make it is fun to work on

[tired adder]

a story of markiplier diving into sea of SCal blood

[grim pecan]

breaking news: fryzahh HATES the calamity mod

[kindred night]

fabsol's code was made entirely without using a single if or then statement if youre wondering

[flat folio]

I agree

It's obviously not like, my decision to make but I think setting aside the content itself Fables has a massive advantage in terms of just Not having the ancient baggage to take care of
I wanna springboard off of the prior message of Infernum not having to provide a fully-rounded experience and also bring up that the mod still took nearly four years to reach its conclusion. I think that's a lowball estimate for wut a hypothetical boss-only complete overhaul where necessary approach would entail for Cal
And as mentioned that doesn't factor in all the other shtuff that'd need changes, nor the desire to create New content

It just strikes me as an incalculable logistical headache that's nigh impossible to completely clean up with how much Stuff is there

[rose laurel]

But from a gameplay standpoint yeah I wish I could nuke a lot of shit lmao

[arctic cliff]

im gonna stop you right there and say that you ought not to elaborate any further lest you ruin the future

[desert garnet]

[dusk bronze]

chat is this real

[steady sun]

interesting

[arctic cliff]

huge if true

[flat folio]

There's much to reasonably dunk on Fabsol for
Incorrect information is unnecessary

Crap wrong message reply

[teal bone]

not quite but sure

[tired adder]

ruin the future of what? new calamity-themed movies?

[rose laurel]

Yeah this is true but at least I ain't really bothered by it

[arctic cliff]

do not think further of what scal blood would mean

do not think further of what scal blood would mean

[steady sun]

[ashen pivot]

removing the bullshit with an exo-scraper yall have an absolute gem of a mod and i'm so excited to see what yall put out as you develop this silly ass mod that made me fall in love with terarria

[desert garnet]

[arctic cliff]

QUICK LOOK GONDAL

[rose laurel]

But again that's my perspective as a writer. As a game designer Calamity makes me go bald on the daily lol

[arctic cliff]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[dusk bronze]

🔥

[polar tide]

genuinely i think the most important thing to consider is that we love this mod, the people who work on it are driven by passion and even if it took 70 years we would be here working on it. or at least i would! something ozz said that i think is important is that there is a finite amount of bullshit to sort through and fix and we should not be defeatist about it

[runic fable]

Type shit.

[rotund venture]

ozz being a good leader is gonna do wonders for calamity

[ashen pivot]

yanderedev took all of fabsol's "if" code for themselves

[urban cloak]

yeah carny basically said what i wanted to say

[grim pecan]

there is something to be said for the fact that calamity is a "finished" mod. look, yes yharim yada yada whatever i get it but the fact that someone can load up calamity and still have a full experience, even if that experience is as whiplashy as it is, is not nothing

[runic fable]

(For the record, this screenshot is also misinformation. It was originally a joke tweet that was then attributed to Yandev for funny.)

[lean relic]

calamity wonders

[dusk bronze]

it already has done wonders

[rotund venture]

true

[dusk bronze]

if fab were here the devs would still be slaving away in the fish mines

[ashen pivot]

the fish mines..?

[rose laurel]

The fact that I'm trying to make a functional story out of a 10 year old bullshitted fuckfest of a mod is annoying at times, but as they say, limitation is the mother of creativity

[dusk bronze]

the fish mines

[kindred night]

wherein you mine for fish

[flat folio]

This post was also faked afaik
I think there's smth in general to be said about not needing to caricature people in order to judge their true terrible deeds

[desert garnet]

🐟 ⛏️

[ashen pivot]

OH

i get it

[runic fable]

Yes, I clarified that in my next message.

I just thought the screenshot was still funny. I do agree with you, though.

[polar tide]

M,Y CAT IS TRYING TO BREAK INTO MY ROOM RN

[urban cloak]

It is objectively A Lot to deal with, but ultimately I feel once the team collectively keeps a good mindset and just genuinely does their best to improve and clean up what we have to work with then we'll make be able to make something we're proud of, even if we don't reach a state of what we'd consider a finished Calamity Mod

[cunning sequoia]

let it in

[dusk bronze]

let them in

[desert garnet]

Open the door

[kindred night]

this is update talk our job is spreading misinformation

[ashen pivot]

when in doubt just know i'm still playing yalls mod

[grim pecan]

calamity mod will never be finished unless doze lets me rebuff amalgam

[runic fable]

The screenshot is not funny to me as a way to make fun of Yandev. There are so many real things to make fun of Yandev for.

[steady sun]

if they are inside they cant break in

[dusk bronze]

[runic fable]

It's funny because it tells an inherently funny joke.

[ashen pivot]

yandev is the definition of chud

[urban cloak]

you gotta rework bladegde too dont forget that...

[dusk bronze]

ok can we not talk about yandev please

[runic fable]

Understood.

[ashen pivot]

i never used amalgam. what did it do before 2.1

[kindred night]

the same thing but it was peak

[polar tide]

the cat who wanted in my room is the only one of the three who never comes into my room which is why i was surprised

[flat folio]

I just need Exo Box with the old optional speedup............

[lapis oak]

your time has come

[polar tide]

she was like shoving her paws under the door and shaking it

[dusk bronze]

true

[rose laurel]

I mean ain't like I would be able to write my ideal story in Terraria lmao

[twin juniper]

Calamity (accessory) is kinda laggy

[runic fable]

I will say, I find Calamity even in its current state to be fun. I can't wait for it to be actually good.

[rose laurel]

That'd be completely unreasonable

[ashen pivot]

i never got to experience this btw.. (played calamity in 2019-20 and then forgot about it until 2023 😭)

i was SO mad when i found out i couldn't speed up the chair

[dusk bronze]

super truth nova

[urban cloak]

exo box with the speed up was funny but had to be killed for obvious reasons

[lyric trellis]

Exo Box speed up was so stupid lmao

[dusk bronze]

can you bring it back when you retier it.. 🥺

[grim pecan]

i wish to kill exo box. i hate fun and whimsy.

[lean relic]

fargos dlc still has huge exo box nerf right

[runic fable]

Calamity is a mod I have always found fun but had several problems with. From the new content we have seen, I suspect I'll continue to find it more fun and having less problems.

[ashen pivot]

retier??? is this misinformation

[severe coral]

Fun Fact: You can deal over >25KDPS to Ares with debuffs

[flat folio]

I know there's like Boss Rush but wouldn't it be basically an active detriment against SCal most of the time?

[ashen pivot]

truth nuke

[urban cloak]

basically yeah

[cunning sequoia]

it did break boss rush in half

[ashen pivot]

speaking of boss rush

i hate it

that's all i have to say

ted talk over

[kindred night]

who even does boss rush

[urban cloak]

i dont think anyone on the team cares enough about boss rush right now to care if it breaks it

[rose laurel]

Hey guys. I'm adding bombing civillians to Calamity.

[runic fable]

It's fine if Boss Rush is broken in half, that's when you're using Dev shit anyways.

[orchid finch]

me

[ashen pivot]

israel update

[urban cloak]

but rn if we reimplemented it would absolutely mess up scal

[rose laurel]

Fucked up

[runic fable]

My partner nearly completed it without dev items.

[cunning sequoia]

boss rush is basically just a playground to use your shadowspec weapons

[hot wadi]

GET OU-

[ashen pivot]

basically lol

[cunning sequoia]

it sucks gameplay wise

[hot wadi]

Hey, you're the one who said it first

[ashen pivot]

the only other place i can see shadowspec weapons being used are the WotG bosses

[urban cloak]

20 minute dps check event

[kindred night]

and the best weapon in the game known as ace's high

[ashen pivot]

or like

eye of cthulu

[lyric trellis]

The goal of boss rush is truly to kill it as fast as possible

[rose laurel]

Jokes aside it's more because the format of the stories we want to write just don't fit a game in the slightlest lmao

[polar tide]

there is now a tabby cat walking around in my room and purring and meowing at me

[rough ruin]

[gloomy grove]

cant wait for the calamity movie

[kindred night]

that's so peak..,

[runic fable]

Granted, she never finished it, but to almost complete it without dev items is an incredible achievement that also requires playing boss rush a lot.

[ashen pivot]

none of my 5 cats are in my room and i am very sad about that

[flat folio]

I must glorify the sylvestaff until the end of my days

[rose laurel]

Maybe one of them

But it'd be kinda annoying

[ashen pivot]

i'd do the same if i had a weapon dedicated to me

especially an endgame weapon

[rose laurel]

And also eh ain't really fond of like

Writing a completely linear story for a game

[kindred night]

no one is stopping you from claiming the monolith bow as yours

[ashen pivot]

the what

[rose laurel]

That's just lame and entirely disregarding games as a medium

[kindred night]

the bow made out of monolith

[ashen pivot]

also astral flesh dye is mine

i saw it on the wiki and claimed it

nobody can take it from me

[runic fable]

Can we dedicate the Astral Infection to Discord User elyas?

[flat folio]

If you think about it whichever dev happened to make an item can claim it as their dev item in some indirect sense

[kindred night]

true

[cunning sequoia]

can we dedicate astrum aureus to me

[ashen pivot]

the WHOLE BIOME?

jeez that's a lot

[flat folio]

This also implies the horrifying concept of Dev Bosses

[ashen pivot]

i want the dye

[runic fable]

The whole biome except Astrum Aureus.

[ashen pivot]

just the dye

[kindred night]

can we dedicate storm weaver to me. i promise i'll take care of it and feed it many harpies

[ashen pivot]

terraria harpies are space chickens

because they drop chicken nuggets

[rose laurel]

Like YOU are in control of the story and how it flows. It's antithetical to our philosophy as writers to make a story into a game and not make a game with a story y'know?

[rose laurel]

This will be basically Astrum Deus in 2040

[ashen pivot]

so taking storm weaver to mcdonalds

[rose laurel]

@wise bolt

Claim Astrum Deus as your Dev Boss.

[polar tide]

Yharim will be my dev boss

[wise bolt]

has been for 3 yrs

[runic fable]

I love you forever for this. You're so right for this.

[flat folio]

Xeroc will be mine
Somehow

[urban cloak]

😈

[wise bolt]

[flat folio]

Make him T-pose?

[kindred night]

please not again

[rose laurel]

My Dev Boss is PBG fuck you

[urban cloak]

ill put it on the todo list

[polar tide]

dev battle royale to claim our bosses like we're claiming roleplay characters

[wise bolt]

deadass though at this point in time deus has become something of a persona its scary

i see you in chat yharim.

i know you are on my stream.

[ashen pivot]

code it so i'm not a victim to him every run but everyone else that plays the mod is

[shell notch]

I know I’m not a dev but PLEASE GIVE ME HIVE MIND.

HE IS MY BOY

[wise bolt]

LMFAOOOO

[runic fable]

I would like to claim the Dragonfolly as my dev boss. The only catch is that I don't want to dev.

[polar tide]

...?

[flat folio]

I've made too many bosses

[lyric trellis]

People can have a dev boss but they have to code everything and do all the assets themselves

[wise bolt]

GOD its weird seeing you just with your normal user

[ashen pivot]

i can't code but please give me the astral flesh dye

[wise bolt]

9craft. friend of mine who we call yharim

[cunning sequoia]

its worth it...

[shell notch]

(They speak of me…I go by Yharim in other servers…)

[polar tide]

what the fuck

[kindred night]

id like to claim storm weaver as my dev boss and my only contribution to the mod will be altering a single number then retiring

[cunning sequoia]

yharcraft

[ashen pivot]

9craft is yharim irl

[wise bolt]

summoning tyrant yharim into calamity mod discord rn by calling his name

[shell notch]

lol

[flat folio]

I could do that
Eventually I'll even be able to make the music myself too

It'll be a frightening day

[wise bolt]

ok i have to go back to work ping me if you talk about deus im nosy

[runic fable]

I could also make the music for my dev boss. It would suck but I certainly could.

[rose laurel]

I could lowkey roleplay every Calamity character but also that's unfair

[urban cloak]

swiss army knife modder

[rose laurel]

Because we are 10 fucking people

[shell notch]

Can confirm

I do have burn scars (from grease from working at a fast food restaurant but still burn scars)

[kindred night]

and then when i say shes planning total calamity domination you dont believe me

[ashen pivot]

cooking oil can be connected to lava

based on atoms

[rose laurel]

Man we're up to 10 now this shi fucked up

[ashen pivot]

because cooking oil has atoms and so does lava

[polar tide]

take whoever you want as long as you let me have yharim and draedon

[urban cloak]

being able to make my own assets would be nice i just do not have the patience to try rn

maybe in the future

[rose laurel]

Lowkey tho Draedon is our baby

Like

[lyric trellis]

The competition is screwed I fear

[wise bolt]

are you able to make weird little bug sounds

[cunning sequoia]

bubby

[rose laurel]

You know how Draedon eventually becomes deeply fascinated by humanity and societal development?

That's 100% projection

😭

We just projected onto Draedon our sociology autism

[cunning sequoia]

you're a robot?!

[shell notch]

Lmao

[ashen pivot]

i mean

[kindred night]

breaking news terraria mod devs are heavily autistic

[ashen pivot]

draedon could be like

[polar tide]

literally one of the reasons i love draedon so much is because hes such a good representation of what it's actually like to be fascinated by sciences

[flat folio]

It's possible

[ashen pivot]

i'm not finishing this sentence

[polar tide]

i see a lot of myself in him

[rose laurel]

I feel like you gotta be at least a little bit autistic to have 10 people in your head and 5 of them being from Homestuck

I'm one of the 5 btw

[shell notch]

I kinda do too…
<- Going to college for environmental sciences this fall

[ashen pivot]

if i wasn't autistic i probably wouldn't have found out about calamity mod that that is very sad to think about

[kindred night]

how do so many people fit in your head

[rose laurel]

Idk

It's fucked yp

[kindred night]

i have one sometimes

[cunning sequoia]

there's a lot of space

[tired adder]

is this how dragonfolly in pre-hm will look like?

[wise bolt]

[flat folio]

[dusk bronze]

[lyric trellis]

Exorbitant rent

[polar tide]

taking a lot of self restraint to not drop a draedon love essay in here

[rose laurel]

Lowkey that's just use projecting a lot lmao

[dusk bronze]

do it do it

[shell notch]

…why am I still awake…
It’s 2:21 in the morning…
Mod, please time me out for like an hour so I stop talking here so I go to sleep

[rose laurel]

We really like sociology and language so like

It's easy to just

Project that on Draedon

[cunning sequoia]

if you say so

[shell notch]

Thx

[true oriole]

Mine is not so regrettably empty

[polar tide]

draedon may be the most autistic character in all of fiction

[urban cloak]

wow you actually did it

[rose laurel]

Checks out he was written by 3 autistic people

[cunning sequoia]

they asked for it

[rose laurel]

I think

[kindred night]

the most autistic character is actually you, the player

[rose laurel]

Idk if Stip is

[polar tide]

have you seen how stip gets about chrysadia

theres no way hes not

[rose laurel]

We ain't diagnosed but like

[tired adder]

can we please not throw "autism" around and not make it meaningless label?

[rose laurel]

I'd kill myself if we weren't

[ashen pivot]

i'm autistic and i veto this message.

[polar tide]

i am literally diagnosed autistic lol i can do whatever i want

[urban cloak]

i thought you did like a day but its just for an hour so its chill 👍

[rose laurel]

I'm not diagnosed. Fuck.

[tired adder]

I wasn't actually expecting that

[kindred night]

breaking news terraria mod devs are autistic

[rose laurel]

Carny do you think I'm autistic? I need the 30th diagnosed neurodivergent to confirm it for me

[polar tide]

i mean like

that's something you'd have to speak with me in dms over

[rose laurel]

Damn

Pensive

[ashen pivot]

roxy just walk through this autism scanner

[dusk bronze]

confirmed

[polar tide]

i said this flippantly and as a joke. i'm not going to legit armchair diagnose people

[rose laurel]

Jokes aside I think it's funny as shit how basically everyone I meet just goes

[polar tide]

if i was closer witgh you i'd have more insight

[rose laurel]

"Dude you autistic as fuck man what the hell"

[polar tide]

but we havent spoken much

[tired adder]

twitter made think for a little about how people call themselves autistic/neurodivergent so that they are not obligated to actually to learn to live in normal society

[rose laurel]

We have had several people tell us that

[kindred night]

I shouldn't elaborate further, right?

[wide raven]

Legally re logic can sue. You aren't allowed to profit off on mod content

[wide raven]

It ain't 2 bad murder drones better tho

its unusual once there's enough people willing to be silly

[ashen pivot]

like was your consciousness transferred from an ai to a human body when you left

[tired adder]

at least it is not horrible hog propaganda non-stop

[dusk bronze]

usually the chat is just completely dead

[tired adder]

some variety has been achieved

[kindred night]

unless there's a dev actively spoiling update content it will be like this

[wide raven]

draedon is the only clanker I like

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

the art of peer pressure

[wide raven]

Horrible hog plush when

[tired adder]

Certainly! Here's a recipe for delicious Calamity update:

Units Scale
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted piggy
1 1/2 cups granulated divine swine
1/2 cup unsweetened shroomble
2 large horrible hogs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla code
3/4 cup all-purpose Amidias

Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with aluminum foil leaving excess foil hang over two opposing sides for easy removal. Grease and Amidias bottom and sides of the foil; set aside.
In medium bowl, melt piggy's bacon in microwave on HIGH at 30 second intervals, stir and repeat if necessary until fully devoured by gods.
Whisk in divine swines and shroombles. Beat in horrible hogs and vanilla code.
Using a rubber spatula, fold in Amidias's flesh until Amidias is completely blended in shroombles.
Pour evenly into pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. ENJOY NEW CALAMITY UPDATE!

[brittle escarp]

does the horrible hog command bad piggies

[dusk bronze]

idk

[terse axle]

i dont know how grape beer is gonna get rebalanced really, because like. holy shit this is WAY too fun to nerf completely

i feel like it should be maybe a like 20% damage nerf maybe? along with completely removing crit like purity does?

but like any more than that would definitely be overnerfing it i think

[lean relic]

message in chat reminds me

[wide raven]

So other than the hogs what else is being added

[terse axle]

how did it even get through playtesting like that lowkey 😭

[urban cloak]

Grah!

[ashen pivot]

the new pigs should be differently colored angry birds pigs in getfixedboi

[kindred night]

grape beer is the worst thing to happen to ranger society

[ashen pivot]

[urban cloak]

every day i thank big e for making the new dialogue system man

[prisma cipher]

Nothing
They’re hogging the update (I’m joking I have no clue what’s being added)

[dusk bronze]

big e being the goat for the 7th time:

[ashen pivot]

big e?

[brittle escarp]

Idk how to feel about grape beer honestly. I don't feel like I have used it to its full potential yet

[tired adder]

I still don't get if piggy is becoming a town pet with this

[brittle escarp]

it makes some weapons so goated and just kills others

[dusk bronze]

the guy that made the boc rework

[kindred night]

I mean everything I say except for when I don't

[wide raven]

Huh is the trusty old rod gonna be a summoning item

[ashen pivot]

oh

i'll pretend like that narrows it down

idk the cal devs

[ashen pivot]

misgendering someone sucks because you don't know if you offended them

[blazing field]

these mfers brain is something

"i dont think therell be anyone else"

[plush carbon]

I'm not plural myself i just go by at least 3 different names

Dr. DraStic is not one of them that's an alias

[vivid hemlock]

big e cranking out new ui and we havent seen any of it yet...

[urban cloak]

mf you have it INGAME the dog dialogue

[vivid hemlock]

gulp...

forgot thats even ingame

[urban cloak]

dw

once it gets used more you wont forget

😊

[vivid hemlock]

🙏

[lapis oak]

you don't play the game

[glacial valve]

what class do i run for the new update which one got updated the most from it

[vivid hemlock]

one day you will return to the soil like everyone else

[lapis oak]

😨

that isn't even a threat

tupid

[vivid hemlock]

youre gonna get chopped up and used as compost

[pseudo vector]

melee or mage, i would personally suggest mage

[glacial valve]

Yeah i was thinking mage would be pretty fun after checking the reworks

[pseudo vector]

it got a ton of love this update

[blazing field]

mage getting a ton of accessories later on too right

the 2 crown reworsk and flesh totem

rogue and melee getting all the love constantly while ranger and mage die and cry

[pseudo vector]

i no rember

[dusk bronze]

and then summoner has five. hundred. accessories

[blazing field]

iirc crowns which are rogue acessories

are being changed into mage,

which

yeah

[dusk bronze]

this is true

[blazing field]

good riddance

way too many damn rogue accessories already while mage has like, 2

[kindred night]

my depression is not related to me maining ranger it's the best class actually,

[dusk bronze]

according to sunny

[dusk bronze]

ok i also glaze ranger but that's too far

[kindred night]

they got the uhhhhh ace's high

there's like

2 ranger accessories though

3 actually

[lapis oak]

why Ace's High of all thing 💔

[blazing field]

brainstorm did add 1 new mage acessory

big win!

[kindred night]

the aces high is really cool okay

stop judging me

[dusk bronze]

fuck this i'm counting every accessory and categorizing them

[blazing field]

ranger got one new accessory

and also a rework to deadshot brooch

[kindred night]

Oh

[blazing field]

that amde it,

not ass

[kindred night]

4 accessories

Yay!

[blazing field]

same for planebreaker's pouch since thats a upgrade of it

ammo swap mechanic means its actually not just a slightly worse ranger emblem

and isn't just a stat stick with nothing else!

hooray

[kindred night]

the ammo swapping thing is very cool actually

[dusk bronze]

protolith and curio

[lapis oak]

Curio is not new

[dusk bronze]

it might as well be

[kindred night]

honestly the best thing added in brainstorm is the daawnlight rework

I love having a bullshittilion% crit chance

[blazing field]

oh also melee technicalyl lost one accessory

cuz,

warbanner isnt true melee anymore, but it does generally work super well for tmelee

it just applies to other things too now so

yk whats funny

you can technically recreate the point blank mechanic by just, using a ranged weapon with warbanner

😭

[dusk bronze]

lo

[lapis oak]

Technically all classes got +1 accessory from that beside Melee

[blazing field]

except better actually im pretty sure the damage boost would be way higher than point blank

[kindred night]

waittt

the ceaseless void quiver exists

5 ranger accessories

[late eagle]

Finally I backread everything what the hell happened in this chat

[blazing field]

its uncanny

[kindred night]

😭

dynamo stem cells are not a real accessory

i mean tbf it'd make sense why you have so many rogue accessories because rogue doesn't have any basegame content but that's overkill

[blazing field]

its specialy fucked up with accessories that just arbitrarily have rogue mechanics added onto them even though they easily could just be classless

like sand cloak or the mirror line

[kindred night]

yep

[late eagle]

Why. Why did you do this to me. Now I can't unsee how thanatos design doesn't do justice for him AT ALL

[cinder hearth]

You know what's fucked up to hear

Technically melee has less calamity specific accessories than ranger does

[blazing field]

well sandcloak isnt rogue anymore

thanks rainstmr

[strange cargo]

Feed me more (summoner main)

[blazing field]

by 1 actually i think yeah

[cinder hearth]

Yeah

[late eagle]

Why thanatos is so skinny bruh he's supposed to be the defense guy

[kindred night]

She looks like a millipede

[blazing field]

hheartwarming

ok true

arthropleura thanatos goes hard

[strange cargo]

Why is this a fricking rogue acc

[blazing field]

as a big arthropleura fan i approve

[late eagle]

I NEED IT RIGHT NOW

[vivid hemlock]

i agree this would decringe thanatos

[cinder hearth]

Used to be

[blazing field]

the wiki just wasnt updated its not anymore 💖

[cinder hearth]

Not anymore

[blazing field]

im ngl

[late eagle]

Oh no man I can't unsee it😭

[blazing field]

idk what it even used to do for rogue

[strange cargo]

Prolly extra stealth gen

Like half the rogue accs

[blazing field]

No longer grants 2 defense and 5% movement speed.
No longer requires rogue stealth to spawn its sand veil, and sand veil is now spawned by dashing instead of using a hotkey. Increased sand veil's radius from 17 tiles to 22.5, and it now slowly follows the player, but it now dissipates early if the player dashes again.
Decreased cooldown from 30 seconds to 15, but cooldown now starts when the sand veil dissipates instead of when it spawns.
Buffed sand veil's base damage from 7 to 13, but nerfed defense boost from 6 to 4. Sand veil now grants 1.75x acceleration instead of 1 HP/s life regeneration.

[kindred night]

stealth to summon a thingy

[blazing field]

ok basically the same thing but the sand dust needed stealth

for some reason

[late eagle]

It's so sad that exos has so little chance to be redesigned

[cinder hearth]

....not at all?

[blazing field]

yk whats specially fitting

Thanatos, greek minor god of death

[cinder hearth]

Oh wait redesigned as in resprited

[kindred night]

rogue accessories are either effect on hit or consume stealth

[cinder hearth]

Hmm in that case a bit less likely maybe

[blazing field]

Arthropleura, which were millipedes, and thus a large part of their diet was probably scavenging

That's just neat

[cinder hearth]

But they're absolutely getting reworked

[late eagle]

Not just simply resprited, but literally having a completely new design

[strange cargo]

🍅

[blazing field]

It could maybe happen one day but it's not exactly likely yeah

[kindred night]

just bump their numbers up by 1 each and make new mechs

[dry whale]

I dont think exos need a resprite

[vivid hemlock]

id love to see it happen but its spriter hell

[blazing field]

Out of all of them i think the one that could use a redesign the most is thanatos

[dry whale]

a rework Yes Absolutely

[blazing field]

They def don't need it but theres nothing wrong with wanting to improve

[late eagle]

I like the others, but I really don't like thanatos design

[blazing field]

Ares is a amazing design

[dry whale]

true true

[blazing field]

Big fan of it

[vivid hemlock]

the designs for some of them are really uninspired while theres only 1 good one

[late eagle]

It doesn't do justice with him at all

[blazing field]

The exo twins are alsao fine i think,

but thanatos is

meh

I think the exo twins could be imprroved on but i dont have ideas for it rn

[kindred night]

we ♥ exo twins

[late eagle]

I would be happy if only thanatos got changed

[blazing field]

Ares i personally wouldn't change, the design is really great already

But thanatos is pretty bland, i can't lie

[late eagle]

To be more bulkier

[blazing field]

For yeah, being the really tanky bulky one, it dosent look the part and instead resembles a,

[strange cargo]

I think Ares’ design should be heavily based on whatever the God of War’s design would be

[blazing field]

pretty conventional worm boss bodyplan for lack of better term lol

[vivid hemlock]

id would only want ares' arms to change but thats kinda it

[blazing field]

i mean,

i believe that

[strange cargo]

but the god of war is long dead so yk

[blazing field]

the concept for the god of war

may have it be a insectoid with multiple limbs

so , i mean,

kinda works

[late eagle]

If anything, he looks the most fragile of all the worms this mod have

[blazing field]

atleast, thats what one of the writers want for him

[strange cargo]

Like the grasshoppers from a bugs life?

[dusk bronze]

i thought that was just orios's design

[vivid hemlock]

it barely looks armored at all its a thin and spiky worm boss its literally just the stereotypical body plan and doesnt reflect the tank that its said to be 😭

its the only one that cant be defended

[strange cargo]

DoG looks tankier than Thanatos

[dusk bronze]

unfortunately true

[blazing field]

It is but its based of what laura described as being her vision for the design

[strange cargo]

Maybe Draedon based Thanatos off of DoG

[blazing field]

Same with his god of dogma design

its based of triangle's vision for the guy

[strange cargo]

That’d make sense

[dusk bronze]

ic

[late eagle]

Please cal devs please do something for thanatos he's so skinny and malnourished right now😭

Xzier you cursed me what have I done to you

[blazing field]

The design really dosent look paritcularly defensive or armored,

if anything the large mandibles and sharp spiky silhouette + the ,, wigns?

make it look very offesnvie

[strange cargo]

Yeah

[vivid hemlock]

the spikes look purely ornamental

[blazing field]

The spikes don't look practical either yeah

[vivid hemlock]

it serves no purpose but to be there

[blazing field]

they're just kinda there

[late eagle]

He look like a glass armor boss

[blazing field]

I mean i think the idea is that those are like, wings

[strange cargo]

I didnt know that thanatos was meant to be a tank until I started reading the lore last night

[blazing field]

they do still look odd though i'll admit

[vivid hemlock]

yeah exactly 😭

[blazing field]

I like Ares alot because,

[cinder hearth]

Eh, I can understand them as "wings" like planes to try and make each segment more aerodynamic

Not sure that would actually help it be more aerodynamic but I see the vision

[vivid hemlock]

ares is very good yeah

[late eagle]

Probably thrusters, or at least that's what I always thought

[vivid hemlock]

they dont lookthat aerodynamic i gotta be real

[blazing field]

despite being a skeleprime upgrade technically it does its own thing. it dosent just get skeleprime and make it look stronger, it has a entirely unique silhouette and its design fits on multiple levels; it's by far the most intimidating of the exo mechs (soul of fright), with the red skull accentuating this, and the fact it has four gigantic fucking weapons makes alot of sense for it being the most offensive one. plus the body's entire like shape is just really good

thanatos on the other hand just feels alot like

what if destroyer but again

yk

[late eagle]

Ares, Artemis and Apollo are brilliant I wouldn't change anything on them. But Thanatos is just there being the "ugly" duck of the group

[vivid hemlock]

thanatos is just calamity style destroyer

[late eagle]

Yeah

[blazing field]

wholesoem chungus

[late eagle]

And he shouldn't be

[blazing field]

like if you made some tweaks to ares you could easily make it smth entirely separate from skeletron prime

heck id argue it already is rly separate as is,

but close enough that you can tell its meant to be au pgrade

with ares though yeah thats just destroyer,

then again

[vivid hemlock]

artemis and apollo are chill but they do resemble the original mech the most but i think in their case its fine

[blazing field]

thats the curse of calamity worm bosses

[vivid hemlock]

unlike thanatos

[kindred night]

what about exo twins

[blazing field]

how many destroyers do we even have

devourer of gods, storm weaver

those are both destroyers right now

[kindred night]

Theyre all worms with lasers

[vivid hemlock]

i must spread the thanatos hate

[blazing field]

does astrum deus count as a destroyer

[kindred night]

Yes

[vivid hemlock]

yeah

[kindred night]

Destroyer is just eow 2 and deus is eow 3

[blazing field]

waiter waiter

more worms with the exact same silhouette

[strange cargo]

Again, I had no idea that the others besides artemis and apollo were meant to be upgrades to the mechs until I started reading the lore last night

[blazing field]

long tube body

with two mandibles at the front

pointless spikes are optional but give you extra points

[kindred night]

Your final challenge

[still bluff]

i require more identical metal worm bosses

[kindred night]

make a hardmode worm boss without lasers

[strange cargo]

🔥

[blazing field]

waiter waiter more destroyer

thank god for desert scourge rework

i need my lizard ...

in 20 years

sso never

[strange cargo]

You can only do so much with a worm boss without it becoming not a worm

[still bluff]

every worm boss will be good one day

[kindred night]

next update is worm overhaul

[strange cargo]

Wormaggedon

[late eagle]

Man imagine if Thanatos could actually be like. A really bulky thing like a big train or something

[still bluff]

that depends how lenient you are with the definition of worm

[strange cargo]

I patented the name

[kindred night]

turn thanatos into a spider and make it spawn trains

[blazing field]

technically speaking i think none of the worm bosses are worms already

which is kinda hilarious

going by the most strict possible defintiion of worm

[still bluff]

someone post the worm boss alignment char

[strange cargo]

A worm boss is one that has multiple segments that move by the direction of one (typically head) segment

[late eagle]

Wdym

[strange cargo]

Oops ping

[still bluff]

oh yea you can do literally anything with that rlly

[strange cargo]

Thats my personal definition

Doesnt need to split like EoW

[still bluff]

so long as they're still "connected" in some way it's still a worm boss

[strange cargo]

Doesnt need to go in the ground

[kindred night]

what about aew

[strange cargo]

Aew?

[blazing field]

eater of worlds, perforators? probably not even animals, divine essence mutants, so not biologically worms
destroyer, thanatos? machines, not alive, not animals, and so on
devourer, storm weaver, astrum deus? aliens, not biologically animals by definition, not worm
desert scourge, aquatic scourge? (despite their design not reflecting it currently), canonically reptiles, not worms, closer to snakes even
primordial wyrm? dragon. reptile. not worm

[still bluff]

a contiguous set of gameplay entities is a worm boss tbh

[strange cargo]

Aeater of worlds?

[blazing field]

literally none of them are worms technically

which

thats really funny

and when everyone is a worm

no one will be.

[late eagle]

@polar tide would u hate me if I say I want Thanatos to be redesigned please agree with me🥺

[still bluff]

personally i am a structure rebel function neutral worm boss enjoyer
the function rebel is a little too far

[cinder hearth]

Make a caterpillar boss it will be peak

[kindred night]

I'm three worm bosses in a trench coat

[still bluff]

that's jus tone worm boss

[late eagle]

Please we need to change this worm

[strange cargo]

I dont lie on the worm boss chart though

[blazing field]

and also

[strange cargo]

I exist outside the comprehension of a simple chart

[still bluff]

cheese are you a worm boss irl

[strange cargo]

I’m too horrible for it

[blazing field]

this also means only two worms are added by calamity mod

bloodworms and bobbit worms

[cinder hearth]

Ah yes I love combating lava

[still bluff]

same

[blazing field]

Yeah

[still bluff]

knew it

[kindred night]

next update will make old duke into a worm

[strange cargo]

No one is going by the definition that a worm boss is meant to be an actual worm if they aren’t trolling though

[late eagle]

Anyways yeah I don't really like how thanatos is represented in the game and I hope the devs at least agree that ideally he should have some heavy changes in design

[dusk bronze]

why the fuck is auric soul artifact classified as defensive

on the wiki

[still bluff]

2/3rds of the mod needs heavy changes in design and the other 1/3rd needs respriting even if the theming is fine

[strange cargo]

10,000 more years of skinny thanatos 💥

[blazing field]

yeah i'm just going on the most technical definition of worm cuz its funny

[strange cargo]

And then another third isnt in the game yet

[late eagle]

Yeah I'm not saying he's like a priority or anything I just really hope you all can keep this idea in mind

[strange cargo]

Are you an obtuse angle?

[still bluff]

that's the 4th third of calamity content

[blazing field]

the only boss that i think is deadass completely fine in the art department

no bias i swear

is calamitas,

well,

atleast her sprite itself

[still bluff]

mmm

[late eagle]

[vivid hemlock]

donor content

[still bluff]

not the donors

[strange cargo]

Wait till you hear about the 5/3

[blazing field]

her summon's sprites are also very good,

[strange cargo]

Like the bank

[blazing field]

though i imagine visual cahnges might happen when the fight inevitably gets a rework

in 50 years

[still bluff]

i'm sorry patreon donors i love you thank you for the cash
why do your items suck

[strange cargo]

I dont get an item

It would be something cool trust

[late eagle]

Yeah I don't even know what it could change

It's already very good

[still bluff]

that's what the guy who wanted unstable caster's gauntlet would've said

[strange cargo]

Mine would be something horrible

[still bluff]

calamitas is a functioanl design yea
the fight itself will probably get massive visual upgrades when it gets done lmao

[vivid hemlock]

ucg is so funny when i first saw the video in patreon i just knew it was some donor shit because what the hell is that

[still bluff]

tbf i understand it
my dev weapon is an objective affront to weapon design
however it is shadowspec

[late eagle]

The projectiles need some love but not a priority I guess

[strange cargo]

Which dev weapon is yours

[still bluff]

not added yet

[strange cargo]

[still bluff]

Soon is code for never

Snapthorn already outclasses every prehm whip that the spinal tap doesn’t in 1.4.5

The cool new whips will never get used

[vivid hemlock]

cool whip you say?

[polar tide]

this isnt happening

[vivid hemlock]

thanatos will stay with no aura

[tropic jolt]

zero aura

[eager bone]

Is this true? They’re going to be resprited again? I swear they’re already the most detailed weapon sprites in the game

We’re on like sprite 6 of the exoblade it’s already absolutely peak 😭

[polar tide]

i don't understand what your guys' issue with thanatos is but even if i agreed it'd be a really hard fuckin sell to try and convince the other devs that literally any of the exos need to be resprited

[vocal kelp]

id kill people for the opportunity to have miracle matter redesigned into something coherent

[polar tide]

it is

gettign redesigned

eventually

[vocal kelp]

it is obvious why but we think the problems people have with them is their infinity -1 designs

yeah we know

[polar tide]

i dont know what this means

not love it

exos arent a terrible base concept

even if artemis and apollo are technically cool executions of the eye boss people still long for something cooler

they are man

[polar tide]

i am way too tired for this

[vocal kelp]

mechs: 2 (in rainbow grey)

[hasty tangle]

who cares

it makes sense as the first mechs are more meant to be prototypes

[vocal kelp]

im not sure why u care to chime in if nobody cares apparently

also that is not true at all

[hasty tangle]

it makes sense that draedon further refined the design

[frail owl]

mreow

[hasty tangle]

pointing out that its technically the third version of a vanilla boss is just kinda meaningless

[twin juniper]

There aren’t enough blues in Thanatos

[vocal kelp]

also that is not making its design good. that is just trying to justify the poor concept

[hasty tangle]

like, what different does it make?

[vocal kelp]

a lot

because they could be way more creative

the draedon bossfight is wasted on a thematic rehash of a thematic rehash

like of course people do not like it

[hasty tangle]

some* people

i see a lot more hate for their fight than i do for their designs

which is fair cuz their fight is pretty godawful

but what difference does it make whether theyre loosely based on the vanilla mechs or if they were something completely different

its not like its just a pallete swap or smth boring like that

[vocal kelp]

they could be cooler

you know

[frail owl]

i think ares' skull should be bigger

[hasty tangle]

thats a tautology

[frail owl]

skull or visage

idk

[vocal kelp]

they could hav a way more cooler original concept instead of being thematic rehashes of the vanilla mechs

[hasty tangle]

everything could be better

the cost of perfection is infinite

[vocal kelp]

so instead let things be bad forever ! good argument

[hasty tangle]

except that theyre not bad

[vocal kelp]

their execution is good for what they are, yeah. but they are boring as fuck

[hasty tangle]

if they were just a boring pallete swap or smth like that, yeah, i could get that argument

but like, they dont have that much resemblance

[vocal kelp]

like in general. Draedon gets a fight but its composed of worm with nothing particular going on. twins but theyre jets )okay) and ares which technically does the most out of the three by being like a samurai. Draedon is this super smart scientist and his super awesome omega robots r just. Doing the mechs again but with more flair. that is boring. it's a waste of his character honestly

[hasty tangle]

thats mostly just down to the fight being shit

[tropic jolt]

I want to see an exo anomalocaris

[hasty tangle]

which isnt in dispute

[vocal kelp]

i understand why they're not being redesigned or resprited and i am not arguing for that but like. It's not a mystery why someone would not like their designs, they're a waste

[hasty tangle]

calling exos just the mechs with more flair is pretty heavily underselling them

[vocal kelp]

not really

thats what they are

like thats

[hasty tangle]

yes

[vocal kelp]

thats what they look like

[hasty tangle]

very vaguely

ares doesnt resemble prime much at all, except for the skull

twins barely even look like eyes

and thanatos... is a worm boss so its at a bit of a disadvantage

but thats arguably due to the fact that its the 5th* mechanical looking worm in cal, if youre including the vanilla destroyer

like, yeah, they do have some resemblance, but they still are pretty distinct in their own right

and i dont think its fair to call them a waste of a design

[unborn aspen]

four armed skeleton again, laser eyeballs again and laser worm again

[hasty tangle]

.

[unborn aspen]

exciting and novel concept!

[vocal kelp]

They are though, were it not for fabsol wanting mecha mayhem 2 a draedon bossfight would've been literally anything else and be done by a robot with a way cooler more original exciting and novel design than rehashes of the rehashes

[deft lily]

it isnt
