While most Terraria themes are more in the perspective of the player inside of your computer of what's happening, I like that yours and the vanilla feel more like the perspective of the the actual guy seeing and playing as the player behind the computer and embraces how weird and goofy Terraria is

Or at least that's how I feel

this one someone else made tho is far better

this one actually uses amidias as a basis

[grim pecan]

I suddenly regret everything

[ivory lark]

maybe we need to ban amidiasposting

[grim pecan]

Is it too late to cancel the update

[arctic cliff]

the bad piggies theme is running amok my brain

I knew amidiasrot would bleed into hogs somehow

[arctic cliff]

hog is hog is therefore hog is

Dude, you can't just ask people why they're white.

[fierce hearth]

I couldn't parse what the tinkerer's voucher did

[tropic jolt]

whitewashing

hog of war will consume all

[arctic cliff]

i think it polarizes the possible reforges

[dull heart]

it vouches for the tinkerer

[barren nacelle]

Why are you wraith

[arctic cliff]

you either regularly get stinky modifiers or you get the best possible ones

[earnest jewel]

Dude, you can't just ask people why they're wraith.

All the doubters proven wrong

[agile latch]

consumable item, it has a 50% chance to give you the best possible reforge for the item you have or it grants you a new special really bad reforge that is also expensive to take off

[barren nacelle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/pig-brainrot

this intrigues me

[deft lily]

dont you fucking x mark me

!!

[earnest jewel]

The hogs will be released NOW RIGHT NOW CHECK STEAM THEY'RE HERE THEY'RE HERE THEY'RE HERE!

[dense sundial]

what also intrigues me is why this gets a major version number if it's a moderate amount of random unrelated things

not that that's a big deal

[vivid hemlock]

oh my god what....

i just realized what the version number is

[earnest jewel]

Oh.

[agile latch]

just so we can get 2.2 out

of the way

[ivory lark]

it's not a hotfix patch so its allowed to iterate

[mellow spade]

Oh god

[shut granite]

these are some bad piggies

[dense sundial]

can there be a 2.2 patch that does a bunch of fabsol boss lobotomies and it's called "putting lipstick on a pig"

...if yall have any idea what that means

[strong isle]

OH RIGHT

[grim pecan]

fryzahh my goat

[strong isle]

I can post the aporkalipse

[twin juniper]

It’s like that pig boss from a Minecraft adventure world

[spice hound]

Is it intentional in the newsletter that the “horrible” reforge seems to give items +2 rarity as if it was a positive reforge, because the unreal and horrible wulfrum blunderbusses are both orange rarity.
If thats intentional thats really funny

[lapis oak]

I will say releasing soon in the post

because releasing soon

[agile latch]

yes

so that its turbo expensive to remove horrible

[strong isle]

I also have these snapshots that didn't get used

[blazing field]

from what we've seen this update is probably unironically more thematically consistent than brainstorm which is fucking hilarious to me

brainsatorm was just named that because of the boc rework but boc wasn't even really a "theme" for it"< there were no updates to the crimson or anything related to it beyond the fight and most features were unrelated to anything

[arctic cliff]

those pigs are outdated!!!!

[blazing field]

not a critique ofc, we all know how brainstorm development went

[strong isle]

It's an older branch ok :c

[blazing field]

meanwhile this update seems to have content largely centered around 1 theme (the Hog) with a few random additions sprinkled in there

[dusk bronze]

it was boc + dog background looks like a storm

[blazing field]

thinking about it this may be the most thematically consistent update since like

[twin juniper]

Brainworm for hive mind and eow rework next

[blazing field]

rust & dust

[vivid hemlock]

also like brainstorming means making up a bunch of ideas, kinda lke how the update went, but that kinda shows how unfocused it was really

[blazing field]

i feel like all the updates after that were just random bullshit go

[mellow spade]

I mean Draedon Update was pretty consistent

It added Draedon

I feel like that's a big one

[vivid hemlock]

draedon update had a bunch of shit that wasnt draedon related afaik

[lyric trellis]

Most thematically consistent update since Rust and Dust and Old Duke 🙂‍↕️

[vivid hemlock]

old duke....

[mellow spade]

Brainstorm had a bunch of shit that wasn't Brain of Cthulhu related, too

[grim pecan]

slight understatement

[spice hound]

Wait hold on what are the tiny yellow particle things here

[urban cloak]

[spice hound]

https://tenor.com/view/hog-rider-coc-clash-of-clans-gif-24053135

Man, hog rider gif would go real hard tho

[spice hound]

The builds in the newsletter are incredible also

[spice hound]

Also since it’s supposed to be really expensive to remove, will there be anything to prevent simply shimmering the weapon and re-crafting it to remove the horrible reforge for crafted weapons?

[amber egret]

what is Horrible

like. the Reforge

[grim pecan]

you'll have to find out

[amber egret]

boutta reforge my hog wit that

[grim pecan]

if you're going through the effort to do that just do it

[amber egret]

gettin my old duke if i must

[grim pecan]

there won't be any special protections is what i'm trying to say

[spice hound]

Oh ok fair

[dull heart]

horrible should shimmer into horrible reforged items

It wouldn't change anything bc reforge is irrelevant when crafting

It'd just be funny

[teal bone]

Well, you do have the power

[lapis oak]

true

[spice hound]

I do wonder how/if the tinkerer’s voucher would do for accessories given calamity effectively makes all reforges arguably equal in how good they are

[gloomy grove]

the horrible hog looms over all

[lapis oak]

is that the Big Flea from silksong

[hard copper]

Awoooo

[gloomy grove]

...mayhaps

[hard copper]

What is tinkerers voucher?

Alch npc item?

[blazing field]

no

hog

[dusk bronze]

calamity mod item

[hard copper]

Ah

[spice hound]

On the calamitymod.com website for the newsletter theres a new one and the tinkerer’s voucher is an item in it

[blazing field]

I'm still not a fan of this tbh

But i'm not sure what the dev's stances on it are so idk if i should make an actual suggestion

[gloomy grove]

why would they showcase something from a different mod

[blazing field]

It's just unecessarily complexity imo

[spice hound]

I feel like it is cool to make there be more options but the amount is too much currently

[blazing field]

Does not benefit gameplay beyon just making stuff more complicated for trivial reasons and no i don't think " build variety " really applies here

If oyu want more options, you add more reforges taht do new things, thats cool

[spice hound]

Some feel very redundant such as the ones which are +2% one stat & +2% another

[blazing field]

you dont make it so the existing reforgeds taht are intentionally meant to be weaker tahn their better versions (ex: guarding, warding) are "sidegrades" instead

[hard copper]

I haven’t seen the newsletter, only heard about it from Logan’s message 7 minutes ago

[blazing field]

Build variety applies to using diff acccessories and armor and scuh ....

[gloomy grove]

i see

[blazing field]

Very unecessary change imo that feels alot like a

"calamiry cahnging how vanilla works for no reason" moment

which is admittedly kinda :( given calamity has been going out of it s way to get rid of alot of those

so adding this in randomly feels very like

"this is a change that wouldve happened a year ago and removed nowadays in a different timeline"

[dense sundial]

i think the reforge shuffles were done earlier in the sso cycle? don't quote me on that

[blazing field]

again idk what dev stances on it are

based on what i know i do feel like it might just be

sth that got in

from older development cycle

[gloomy grove]

its better if one of the devs gives their 2 cents on it yeah

[blazing field]

and could probably just be removed soojn

[vivid hemlock]

from what i remember they mightve been mentioned in one of the sso changelogs

dont quote me on that thp

[twin juniper]

Horrible hog will return in calamity: sunken sea overhaul

[gloomy grove]

im personally of the stance that its a "ok were doing this i now guess" change, like this image

I do feel like some of the new ones are good additions as they give different stats you can spend your accessory reforges on like max HP, Life Regen, etc. but a lot of them are stuff no-ones gonna use and just bloat the pool

[dull heart]

Actually no it was quite late

but the idea was a very old one

[blazing field]

I'm not really a fan of it because agian it just kinda overcomplexes thing for no reason

I don't really see the gameplay benefit of it

[dull heart]

and nobody reviewed the idea at all before it was implemented

[blazing field]

instead of just going for warding if you want more defense or meancing if you want more damage

you,

[dull heart]

I do think the partial reforges kinda suck, the ones that give unique stats are good

[blazing field]

have to worry about things like damage reduction and how good it is vs defense or whatever

nnd im just like, why

just make guarding the weaker defense reforge and warding the stronger one

[gloomy grove]

i like the new ones yeah

[blazing field]

new reforges that add new stats r cool yeah

[dense sundial]

unique stats as in dauntless and invig?

[blazing field]

those are good, nothing wrong with them

[dull heart]

like next patch Warding is 4 def and Armored is 3% DR

These are fine

issue is Hard in this which is 2 def 1.5% DR

this is suck

[blazing field]

just make hard 1 defense like it was before 🥹

[dull heart]

no

[blazing field]

maybe im being kinda agressive about it but, not everything needs to be meta or viable

the entire point of weaker reforges IS that they're worse

[dense sundial]

terraria modifiers are a broken system but that does not mean they need to be broken in a different way

[dull heart]

I agree, but there's no reason to not have a DR reforge

Now, it doesn't have to be Armored

[blazing field]

theyre not the best choice, but you can still use them until you get a better one

[dull heart]

but like

[blazing field]

I think you should just make a new one for that rather than cahnging a existing one

[dull heart]

I agree with that

[blazing field]

Make a weake dr reforge and a stronger one

I mean honestly i think changing hard and keeping guarding as it is in vanilla would probably be fine since having 3 different defense reforges is kinda silly yeah

when everything else gets 2

so you could have hard be the weak dr reforge, and add a new one to be the stronger one

keep guarding as 2 defense and warding as 4 (or whatever it is with calamity scaling)

[dense sundial]

cal no longer scales warding

[vivid hemlock]

cal scaling is gone

[blazing field]

okay so yeah

just 2 and 4

[spice hound]

Some do feel like no-one is benefitting from them
Intrepid for example gives +2% melee speed (so only affects melee class) and +2% movement speed (which would this even effect your base speed by any relevant amount)

[dull heart]

I have some ideas for fun fun reforges to have beyond the vanilla ones:

• dr
• stealth generation
• weapon size
• regen
• AP
• HP
• jump speed / height
• thorns damage

[lyric trellis]

Weapon size reforge would be funny even if nobody would ever use it

[amber egret]

friendly reforge :)

[dull heart]

weapon size would be so funny

and genuinely probably useful for niche situations

Oh and knockback

A knockback reforge too

[lyric trellis]

Implement this now

[dull heart]

• 10 iframes reforge when

[amber egret]

titanic and gargantuan

[lyric trellis]

Please

[dull heart]

you could genuinely have so many interesting reforges

[lyric trellis]

Give me an extra second of immunity in hardmode it sounds funny

[dull heart]

fall speed, accel, traction, hook speed

[dense sundial]

we are nooot doing ap reforge 🥀

[dull heart]

too late

[dense sundial]

also hp reforge is dauntless

[dull heart]

yeah I didn't say these didn't already exist

These are just besides vanilla's

[lyric trellis]

Jagged will save us

[raven crest]

the old reaper is too broken

[spice hound]

Hear me out, Ammo conservation reforge

[vivid hemlock]

we need to bring back friendly

look what they took from us

[dull heart]

reforge that gives you specifically minion knockback

[grim pecan]

please no more weapon scale

[dull heart]

give me +700% weapon scale

I want to copper shortsword exo twins

reforge! +5 tiles of homing range :)

[blazing field]

reforge that lets you hit the griddy ..

[spice hound]

Honestly if a weapon size reforge made projectiles also larger it could actually be decent but if its melee size then it would be very very niche

[arctic cliff]

yknow what

[blazing field]

melee size reforged would be really niche tbh yeah

[arctic cliff]

Screw all of these extraneous modifiers

[blazing field]

i think melee size would be better on an accessory that really leans into it if anything

[arctic cliff]

what about modifiers that have benefits and downsides instead

mixed bags

[blazing field]

rather than smth more universal like reforges

[dull heart]

titan glove:

[blazing field]

i may be stupid

[blazing field]

user describes literally what are we are talking about and how its bad, actually

[arctic cliff]

like increased weapon size but reduced weapon speed

[dull heart]

-100% damage +1000% knockback

[arctic cliff]

lmao kinda

[dull heart]

(this is called grand dad right click)

[blazing field]

wait no im stupid, again

nvm

ok im ngl that would be cool actually

[spice hound]

Add a mining speed reforge so that theres actually a helpful reforge for like building

[blazing field]

it could be smth u get from a new npc since cal could use more of those ..

evil reforges taht are double edge swords

[blazing field]

more npcs that are just guys that exist to serve specific functions while also expanding the worldbuilding a bit would be great

[spice hound]

That would actually be a really cool idea

[blazing field]

things like the planned historian or cultists

maybe this npc could be a evil little inventor that was inspired by draedon

[spice hound]

Like +8% damage but like -8 Def or something

[blazing field]

mad scientist type guy

[dull heart]

Anyway who wants a better spoiler than anything in the newsletter

[blazing field]

is it a green swine of sorts

[vivid hemlock]

I did so much stuff with text these last 2-3 days

[blazing field]

das cool ya..

doze is the guy that does the random shit that is relatively minor but actually goes a long way to improve the mod overall and add neat little features for tyou to tinker with

[dusty tinsel]

Oh my goodness the elumephant jumps on enemies

[dull heart]

yup

I like to do a lot of small random details

the dog text is primarily for the special attack names

[obtuse hawk]

pih

[dull heart]

like I finally fixed the auric rarity glow not lining up with the text properly

it bothered me SO much

[amber egret]

how da fuck

[blazing field]

Fallaaaaaaaaa

[dull heart]

they fell

[dull heart]

I've been cooking

[steel pike]

hi

[blazing field]

helo

[dull heart]

I've been cooking

[amber egret]

indeed you have

[dull heart]

I also rewrote the custom rarities; they should look almost the same though

they just are more resilient and use chat tags too

[hard copper]

@blazing field

Oh nvm it was dealt with

[dull heart]

the new chat tag stuff let me do some extra cool stuff you'll have to see later

also bless tomat and nightshade for making chat tags so easy to use

apparently they suck really bad to work with in tmod normally

[ashen pivot]

chat tags?

what are those

[iron dew]

its what allows you to embed items or console buttons into chat

[rose laurel]

That fucking bird that I hate

[deft lily]

[rose laurel]

Yes

It didn't fucking work

[rose laurel]

Hoooooly shit

[deft lily]

im killing you

[tropic jolt]

good thing its not a blue lobster

or I would be very scared

[deft lily]

true

reb did you try getting lobsters to attack yharon

and kill him

[pearl sentinel]

Yeah thats my name

[rose laurel]

Maybe that'd work

[deft lily]

real

[rose laurel]

Also it's Roxy smh

[arctic cliff]

fun fact: european lobsters are actually blue when they're alive. when they're cooked, they become the much more familiar red

[deft lily]

[tropic jolt]

AAAAAAAAAAAA

[deft lily]

[tropic jolt]

tasty meal

[arctic cliff]

heres a blue crayfish as well

[deft lily]

cal fans pointing at this and shouting "c-crabulon!" in the span of .2 nano seconds

[tropic jolt]

some sort of infestation

[arctic cliff]

just proof that the crayfish is also the perfect one

[tropic jolt]

a mycelium marionette, even

[deft lily]

is this a fables reference or i am stupid

[tropic jolt]

if you were talking to me, yes it is

[deft lily]

o

i see

[distant raft]

the perfect one is ancient lore iirc

[rose laurel]

Crabulon had this running joke of being called the perfect one in ancient lore yeah

[deft lily]

oh i see

[distant raft]

it was fun

[arctic cliff]

this was probably because for some reason it didnt have lore when others did

so fabsol or whoever wrote the forum page lore decided on a whim to just write a complete shitpost instead

[deft lily]

interesting

[arctic cliff]

where is the copypast

[tropic jolt]

why did draedon make mech reskins when he could have made mecha crab

[arctic cliff]

Flesh rots. Metal rusts. Stars grow dark. Whether over the course of a century or millennia, all things lose the ability to serve their purpose and become dust. Such is an immutable, inescapable law of reality. Thus, one who transcends such a limitation - one who is flawless and eternal, possessing none of the weakness called humanity - can only be considered God. Utterly unfettered and unparalleled. Surpassing the very nature of existence. Sing your praises to Crabulon, The Perfect One.

[deft lily]

draedon is secretly scared of crabs.....

draedon should take inspiration

[deft lily]

yo mama an exo mech level threat

[deft lily]

😨

[dull heart]

have you ever wondered how much HP scal really gets added by all her minions

because i have so i made this to answer that question

the answer is quite a lot

[spice hound]

It looks like the added HP from the minions sums up to about the same in total to SCal herself

[dull heart]

it's 80% of her total HP

roughly

[cinder mural]

I'm guessing
First spike = hearts and sepulcher
Second spike = both catastrophe and cataclysm
Third spike = birds
Fourth spike = hearts and sepulcher again

[dull heart]

yeah

Sepulchur HP is not counted ofc bc you don't hurt sepulchur

[cinder mural]

I got that right

Lol

[distant raft]

it still eats some damage by nature of getting in your way ofc

[dull heart]

yeah

unless you use something like drage lol

[cinder mural]

I forgor

Can sepulcher die if you hit him instead of hearts?

[distant raft]

iirc yeah

[dull heart]

yes but scal won't become vulnerable idt

this is the full test result btw lol

[cinder mural]

Ah ok

[dull heart]

in length

it turns out having 5 targets is

a very long image

[grim pecan]

i can almost see what it's saying

[dull heart]

i can't show you the actual image because i used new eclipses fall

so uh

have fun

free spoiler

the image size is lol

5.7 mb on its own...

[arctic cliff]

@dull heart could you use this to analyze anahita and cryogen based on their shields

[dull heart]

yes

cryogen shield is basically nothing though

i tried it and it totaled to like 2% per shield

[cinder mural]

You'd have to download the image to see the whole thing not blurred xd

[dull heart]

barely visible

[lean relic]

got damn

[dull heart]

WAIT i made a miscalculation

[grim pecan]

Cryogen's shields are more of a suggestion than an actual obstacle

[dull heart]

it's not 80%

[rose laurel]

Obstable

[grim pecan]

shut

[dull heart]

it's ~95%

[stuck kite]

🐟

[grim pecan]

why did every dev just show up to make fun of me

i can't believe you all

[stuck kite]

why not

[cinder mural]

Sooo
2.346.000 (scal) to 4.574.700 hp total

[dull heart]

roughly yea

this is provi

[cinder mural]

I did the math xd

Twas simple

[dull heart]

yeah but my estimate is rough in nature

[grim pecan]

CV would be a wild graph

[cinder mural]

True

[dull heart]

it is

it's a very funny graph

i can grab one

[cinder mural]

I think it's like
3 million hp

[dull heart]

21% of provi hp in guards roughly

[cinder mural]

Somewhat around that

[dull heart]

CV

[grim pecan]

🔥

[dull heart]

interestingly it seems to even out well

the increased dark energy vs lower CV hp

[grim pecan]

You can really see just how slow the final self damage phase is

[dull heart]

well

to be fair

this is a 45 second fight

actually 60

me owm to bully CV with a glass cannon auric tier rogue loadout

[pearl sentinel]

That one thing in australia

The opera house

[deft lily]

good

fuck cv

[pearl sentinel]

Do you see the resemblance

[spice hound]

It does look kinda like The Sydney opera house

[deft lily]

this clearly means CV is australian

💥

[spice hound]

The distortion is Australia

[deft lily]

i knew it

[spice hound]

The average snake here in australia is just like DoG so it must be true

[dull heart]

brain (no i dont know why it died instantly when phase 2 began)

this was solo blunder booster aura

[grim pecan]

free vermillion flux

[arctic cliff]

honestly i think the shield thing should be done away

use the ice spikes for something else ngl

[grim pecan]

i had a thought once for it, but i never shared it

maybe i will now that cryogen can actually get changed

[deft lily]

i think cryogen should get a bazooka

would make the experience a blast methinks
