[blazing field]

but it's still low enough where it isn't common

that would genuinely be a really funny idea

fryzahh youve spawned something good.

[spice hound]

Can you also lotus flower the leech into just being an ambient critter to the sulphuric sea

[blazing field]

theres already alot of planned sulphur sea critters

idk if we need more

have you seen triangle's sprites

[urban cloak]

more enemies to code means more fun for me 😁

[blazing field]

rtheres ike 5 different guys

[spice hound]

The beatuiful lotus flower transformation of the cosmic elemental has occured

[barren nacelle]

Big hardmode variant with a beam sword

[blazing field]

🤝

enemies are actually the thing i enjoy coding the most for roy

[spice hound]

Roxcalibur version too

[blazing field]

and the thing i have the most consistent rate of actually being good at

and nto crashing out over not getting this thing to work after 500 attempts

[barren nacelle]

I like designing enemies

[blazing field]

i like thinking about designing enemies but not actually doing it because i'm not confident in my art skills

and i really should practice but augh theres so much. i want to do.

and then i lose otivation

and then i gain motivation

[barren nacelle]

This is why you have artist lackeys cheese

[blazing field]

and then i lose motivation

and then i g

[spice hound]

Hear me out turn ungodly serpent into a summoner weapon which summons profaned serpants that actually spawn behind each of your minions and the player stuck to them to mimick their ai bug thing

Idea: Turn Phantom Debris into a post-moon lord dungeon enemy, which is a large beetle mae of rocks bones and phantoplasm being ridden by like a paladin with like phsntoplasm coming out of the gaps in its armour, which rams around the dugneons and can run up walls and run on the roof

[amber egret]

idea: turn cosmic elemental into a post-signus Warp-side Distortion enemy

[spice hound]

I tried to draw what I was imagining with this but it isn’t the greatest but hopefully gets the idea across

[blazing field]

why post signus specifically

also what the hell is a warp side

[blazing field]

the problem with this is that it feels like a design thats trying to justify itself eixsting imo

[misty wren]

distortion probably

[blazing field]

like would you ever think of a debris brick beetle enemy for the dungeo nf it iwasnt for the fact phantom debris existed before

it dosen't really feel congruent with the dungeon's established aesthethics of undead and ghosts and such

[spice hound]

I guess yeah

It could be line bones instead of rocks but like fair it isn’t perfect

[blazing field]

i think if you want to bring back phantom debri the best way to do it is just a small critter for the dungeon instead

[spice hound]

Wait true

[blazing field]

it can just be a little polterghast type enemy (as in literal polterghast not calmaity polteghast)

[spice hound]

Litlle ghost beetles

[blazing field]

just a little ghost possessing a few pebbles an d such

[misty wren]

calval phantom debris mount

[spice hound]

Wait no make it posses a brick like the dungeon blocs

[misty wren]

best mount ever btw

[spice hound]

Wait cal vanity adds a phantomdebri mount>

[amber egret]

concept i have for the distortion is that theres two sides to the coin, with the defeat of DoG opening the third
Warp is one side, with a lot of floating around and very airy generation
Crush is the other side, with very hard to go up terrain
Brilliance is the third side, with a far more vicious atmosphere but also the best stuff
warp and crush are the basic ones, after signus he siccs stronger threats on you, and after DoG he had to rip spacetime so the brilliance is now availible

very hackjob concept but

[misty wren]

yeah

[spice hound]

Its not on the wiki

[amber egret]

the idea is that after yharim (and possibly post xeroc spar) the final tier of the distortion (aka Go Fight Noxus Tier) lets you do something

i wonder what

[misty wren]

calval wiki is comically incomplete at all times

[spice hound]

I can see a pet that summons a teeny phantom debris but no mount

[spice hound]

Holy moly thats gorgeous

Thats some genuinely incredible sprite work

[blazing field]

thats very pretty yeah

[spice hound]

It doesn’t keep the phantoplasm theming but like thats gorgeous

I do wonder what kinds of enemies calamity could even really add to post-moon lord dungeon

Like would they like try to do something similar to how vanilla does it and like add a new basic skeleton in the three dungeon sub-areas

Gianter Cursed skull

Wait hear me out theme a new set of three generic skeleton enemies, like the blue, rusty and hell armoured bones, but make them themed after scoria cryonic and perennial

[hollow adder]

idk the extent of the lore about this, but it could have different species since the prisoners from conquered kingdoms, no?

maybe an undead ilmeran or smth

[spice hound]

Fish bones from illmeris

But actually that sounds actually quite good

also since doesn't the dungeon cult want to revive a dragon wouldn't maybe failed attempts at that make cool enemies too

[hollow adder]

never enough worm ai enemies

[spice hound]

r words have never been spoken

[blazing field]

failed attempts at dragon ressurection would be really cool enemies for post ml dungeon

[amber egret]

Here's the image I was going to send before SOMETHING decided it didn't want to work anymore.

[tropic jolt]

this ZA guy seems pretty interesting they should make a game about him

[earnest jewel]

Yeah, and the could call it 'Legends: AZ'.

[hasty tangle]

does anyone have messages of the devs saying they dont want to have massive updates as big as BS ever again?

[earnest jewel]

There's this.

[hasty tangle]

thank you, do you have one more?

[earnest jewel]

Sure.

This one is the reason.

[hasty tangle]

can it be from someone else?

[earnest jewel]

I'll see if I can find anything.

[mystic eagle]

Pretty ironic if I'm being honest.

SSO was replaced by BS which became by far the largest update

[earnest jewel]

This.

[hasty tangle]

many thanks

[earnest jewel]

You're welcome.

[polar tide]

[grim pecan]

we don't want to have massive updates as big as BS ever again

[polar tide]

we want to have updates triple the size of brainstorm

[vocal kelp]

FIFTY HUNDRED CHANGES

[main estuary]

three more dog reworks

[vocal kelp]

with fabsol gone no update will ever be as big because the changelogs wont have 4 pages dedicated to stat tweaking for every boss

[earnest jewel]

Ravager update WILL have a 50 hour long Metroidvania included as MANDATORY progression.
This mod will stop being a boss rush by ANY means necessary.

i find it wild how he made that many changes just for boss stats

[vocal kelp]

drinking game grab any random patch and see how many

[grim pecan]

hold on i need to go make a boss changes pr that increases the damage of every attack in the mod by 1 damage

[vocal kelp]

this patch ischeating tbf half of these cahnges are bleedinf for 8 seconds

Die in the Metroidvania and you will have to beat Xenoblade Chronicles 2

i was right

[hasty tangle]

you're welcome to say it again if you want

the more devs confirming it, the better

[polar tide]

we only want to have updates five times larger than brainstorm

[earnest jewel]

Xeroc update will have THE SUN as a new dimension with FIVE HUNDRED new biomes to explore and FIFTY unique bosses to fight.
ADDITIONALLY, you will now have a new questline to face HOT DUKE!
*Xeroc will not be featured in this update.

[dull heart]

new timeline: every update must have double the dev time as the one prior

[tropic jolt]

sorry buddy but the sun was devoured by a serpent and a scarab

[earnest jewel]

That is the PREMISE, it's like the third dungeon in OCARINA OF TIME!

[polar tide]

we should do this sounds like a fun way to shake things up

[hasty tangle]

what about the opposite, where each update takes half the time of the previous one

zeno would be proud

So what even was the astral undergrowth anyways

[hidden ridge]

underground jungle astral i think

[spice hound]

But like why did they need to make that since the astral biome spawns on the side opposite the jungle

[vocal kelp]

Underground mushroom

Well it's just mud astral

[spice hound]

Oh that makes a bit of sense

Did it have like any unique mobs or no

[blazing field]

yeah the astral undergrowther

[spice hound]

The new astruffle worm that summons astrum dukeus

[buoyant pulsar]

bruh.

[spice hound]

What difficulty is this?

[dusk bronze]

lol

[dusk bronze]

looks like death

phase 2

[buoyant pulsar]

genuinely what the fuck was i supposed to do

[spice hound]

That does seem like an issue for the fight yeah

[dusk bronze]

simply dodge

[twin juniper]

bron ran out of arena

[spice hound]

Mainly (this is gonna sound obvious), avoid getting stuck, probably by like avoiding being too close to the stone walls he summons

[dusk bronze]

also don't fight it on a steep incline i think

[buoyant pulsar]

no i just started running from my arena cause every time i get to phase 2 i get 60 rock pillars shoved up my ass

[spice hound]

Also when flying upwards make sure to be going diagonal since the top rock horizontal pillar would stop you like it did here if you just try to fly directly up

Generally from my experience to beat ravager you need to focus on less of a run away from the boss stategy adn try to stay in a fairly small space, where you move right and left turning when ravager is about to groundpound

If you’re still having trouble potentially getting a rod of discord could help if you end up in a position where you’re trapped (dropped by chaos elementals at a 1% (classic mode)/2% (expert mode and up) chance in calamity)

[buoyant pulsar]

ravager was hard broo

[spice hound]

I am now wondering what will happen to ravager’s current drops when he eventually gets retiered to post-providence

Well outside of bloodflare core since it is already post-providence

Actually looking at the rage and adrenaline upgrades I wonder how they’ll be handled since 3 of the 6 bosses which drop them are planned to be retiered

I could see ravager keeping its rage upgrade but simply serving as the post-moon lord one since isn’t it going to be the same tier as polterghast who currently drops the post-moon lord adrenaline upgrade

Also I kinda feel like dragonfolly could actually get to get the pre-hardmode adrenaline upgrade since like I’d imagine it will still be a quite fast paced fight which would fit it getting the adrenaline upgrade of prehardmode

But honestly looking at the adrenaline and rage upgrades they honestly kind of feel like kind of uneeded

[dull heart]

Have an arena and play mostly within the walls

you just alternate side to side

[spice hound]

Like they just increase their duration by 1 second for the rage upgrades, and the damage by 20% and damage reduction by 5% for adrenaline which like idk feels kind of uninteresting imo

[dull heart]

it requires some timing

[buoyant pulsar]

hope vesuvius gets a slight glowup

maybe just vfx idk

i wish the two firing modes interacted with each other better, like one set up for the other or something

[spice hound]

Wait what does vesuvius even have to do with ravager now that I think about it
Its a meteor staff upgrade that summons molten asteroids that inflict hellfire
Like that doesn’t really sound like it make sense as a ravager drop since like he has nothing to do with those themes in his drops

Well some of his drops do have fire on them but those all have blue flames, but vesuvius’s flames are distinctly orange coloured flames

[arctic cliff]

thats

because it used to drop from Betsy

[spice hound]

That explains a lot actually

Why did they change that

[arctic cliff]

probs because the devs at the time didnt likey ooa or something

i dunno

[spice hound]

I guess for it then like when ravager gets retiered vesuvius could just be returned to betsy and not really have to be directly rebalanced due to still dropping from a post-golem “boss”

[arctic cliff]

or better yet, dont tie it to those two

and make it obtained in a different manner

[spice hound]

Well isn’t it a legendary weapon or something (I know they don’t scale anymore but they’re kinda still a group)

But also like why does would being obtained a different way be ‘better’

I do also feel like while most of ravager’s other drops could just be re-tiered with him, I kinda feel that blood pact being locked to so late in the game is weird since it is a pretty good accessory right and is generally used quite often

Also I’d assume that the fleshy and necromantic geodes would probably be removed or at least no longer drop from ravager since like they wouldn’t really at that point be needed I feel

[cobalt wharf]

vesuvius visuals are so funny

https://calamitymod.wiki.gg/images/Vesuvius_(demo).gif?ac922c&format=original

[spice hound]

Particle spam go

[cobalt wharf]

hello this is how much dust my weapon creates also the year is 2018

scaling weapon patch notes go insane

[cinder mural]

fight ravager in an arena?

[spice hound]

The legendary weapons were funny because like why did it have scaling stuff for any bosses before when you could get it

[buoyant pulsar]

yes please omfg

sorry but i would lwky rather die than do ooa in a calamity playthrough

[spice hound]

Old ones army is really good and like everything it gives is really good but like you don’t have to do it

[buoyant pulsar]

the only time ive ever had fun with ooa is on my sentry only playthrough (surprise surprise, having an actual inventive to do something makes it fun rather than tedious)

like i totally had fun

genuinely

[spice hound]

Are you using the sentries in your playthroughs outside of sentries only

For the event

[buoyant pulsar]

crafting the perfect arena and everything, building an insult to god that i called the boulder engine (something like 400 boulder statues wired up to a logic gate hell obelisk to make them fire one after the other)

[buoyant pulsar]

well i use ooa sentries during it

otherwise no

i think im genuinely just slopping too hard with calamity cause im always in a rush instead of just slowing down and enjoying the game

[spice hound]

Okay but like the old ones army armours are all fucking broken so like there is always s reason to do it

[buoyant pulsar]

its kind of a huge problem and i probably need to uninstall a few mods

but its whatevs

[buoyant pulsar]

still not huge incentive for me

[buoyant pulsar]

this was part of a multiplayer run i did with a few friends that we called the awful run

i was sentries only, one was mounts only, one was accessories only, one was traps only, and one was thorns only

our world was an industrial hellscape, it was so beautiful

also it was hard as fuck

first boss was deerclops

[spice hound]

That sounds insane

[buoyant pulsar]

only half of us could even deal damage and we used npcs to help us

[spice hound]

Wait were you stuck with houndius shootius for like the first couple bosses

[buoyant pulsar]

one of the damage dealers was placing and breaking boulders and the other was slamming into it with an elaborate minecart track we made

me and me other friend were just moral support lmfao

[buoyant pulsar]

sure was!

[spice hound]

That sounds awful

[buoyant pulsar]

thats why we called it that ;3

[spice hound]

At least after evil biome boss you got some decent options

[buoyant pulsar]

i meant to :3 but that works too

we literally didnt have enough dps to kill skeletron before day so we had to make a minecart loop and wait like 2 hours with lightning aura sentry ticking it slowly

and on the first attempt one of our friends (who wasnt part of the run) logged on the server as a joke, and placed a single block which stopped the guy on the minecart, and skeletron instakilled all of us cause we werent paying attention

so we lost like an hour lmfao

we were pissed and they felt so bad lol

wall of flesh sounds like it would be really cool but only me and the traps only guy logged on so he used tnt barrels and i spammed ballista sentry to kill it

btw, that playthrough taught me that explosive trap is like the best sentry ever

its so goated

that was the most fun playthrough i've ever done of terraria because 1, it forced me to get creative and use my terraria knowledge to make really cool stuff, 2, it was just really hard in a super unique way which was good brain food, and 3, it slowed the game down a ton which was extremely refreshing because it gave us reasons to just grind enemies for foodstuffs or mess around or build stuff etc

highly recommend multiplayer challenge runs, they're extremely fun. just pick ur challenges right and make sure u and your friends can tolerate the agony of dying to ur friends boulder for the 608th time

[spice hound]

I will say with the ooa it does feel like since calamity currently doesn’t add basically anything aside from making monk and shinobi armours buff rogue + summoner instead of melee + summoner, and the general publics view of sentries tending to view them as sucking people tend to just ignore it, but like genuinely the items you can get from it are all so good but people never give them a chance

I feel like calamity should try to in some ways give the player more reasons to actually give it a shot outside of just like summoners doing it in prehardmode for the +10% summon damage accessories

[arctic cliff]

i mean, calamity has been trying to nerf that tank melee/sentry armor set from ooa for a long time

so ya

these things arent terrible

its just

OOA is a collab thing and calamity doesnt really like interacting with collab stuff

[spice hound]

That is very dumb though cos like sure it can be non-canon but completely ignoring it really dumb as like it causes the crossover content to become so often skipped over, and like thats not really that good for having the game’s vsriety

Also like ooa is also like the only slightly fun event in the game so like i feel like people never giving it a chance are missing out on a lot

[arctic cliff]

that is true tho

[cobalt wharf]

i do feel like cal players may be more prone to monoclassing than normal

in which case most ooa stuff is like useless

[spice hound]

Not really, the armours still give massive bonuses to the class they boost alongside summon damage and are often times like as good or better than the other options of the tier, and there are weapons for like every class (except rogue) that are all really good

[arctic cliff]

which is often overlooked because the class that benefits the most from OOA is summoner, and not everyone plays summoner all the time

[spice hound]

Summoner does benefit the most but like the items still give incredible rewards for each class

[cobalt wharf]

they are good but the good of them is more like

small stat boost compared to your typical on tier armor

if ur not sentrying

[arctic cliff]

im not saying that there isnt merit to your statements

[spice hound]

Valhalla knight armour is fucking insane with how bulky it is, red riding armour while not as broken is great because it doesn’t rely on its set bonus and thus is great for armour mixing, dark artist armour is ehh but like betsy’s wrath is fucking insane cos it literally inflicts basically a second ichor which decreases defence by 40 points, and like shinobi might be god idk

[arctic cliff]

just that, ya

[misty wren]

dark artist used to be the flat best monoclass mage armor

not even taking the summoner side into account it used to just be better than any other mage armor set on tier

[spice hound]

Not really at all, red riding armour give more general ranged damage and crit chance boosts than shroomite armour does for the class as a whole

[misty wren]

then it got nerfed because like if half the armor set is better than any other armor set on tier just off stats alone thats kinda an issue

[spice hound]

And also like since their set bonuses tend to not be important for the player since most don’t use sentries they are incredible when it comes to armour mixing since then the player can get insane overal stats through them without loosing important set bonuses

[misty wren]

it had good enough stats to mostly outclass other set bonuses

[spice hound]

Genuinely they are all such good armour but like people for some reason think they suck unless you use sentries

Which also like sentries are just free damage as well and there is literally nothing stopping you from using them for bonus damage

[misty wren]

unfortunately dark artist being the best on tier armor set was also before mage was good so it genuinely didnt matter

[spice hound]

Wait do you mean in vanilla it got nerfed or in calamity

[misty wren]

in calamity

[spice hound]

Cos on the wiki I can’t see where it lists it still being nerfed

Its not listed with the other vanilla armour changes

[misty wren]

i think cal buffed it at one point and then that got reverted

ok nvm it got its nerfs reverted in 2.1.2

i knew it got nerfed at some point at least

[spice hound]

Almost every item from tier 3 old ones army in some way is incredibly powerful or useful, and while tier 2 is definitely a lot worse the armours are still quite good, and tier 1 is basically just for summoners, as a whole ooa is still so incredibly good to do but people due to the general disdain towards sentries and the weird belief that ooa armours are weaker than other armours on tier if you aren’t using sentries people just skip it

[misty wren]

i just dont like ooa

[spice hound]

Again let me remind you theres literally a weapon that inficts a debuff thats effectively the equivalent of 4 seperate instances of ichor, decreasing enemy defence by 40

But disliking it is fair but like so many people never give it a shot

Actually looking at some armours, red riding armour literally has almost identical ranged stat boosts compared to ranger hydrothermic armour outside of the set bonuses, while also giving a ton of summon and sentry buffs

Same thing with dark artist armour just having objectively better stats (outside of 1 defence and not giving any additional mana) compared to hydrothermic outside of set bonuses alongside a whopping 60% summon damage increase and +2 (3 with set bonus) sentries

And while valhalla knight armour isn’t statistically better than melee hydrothermic, but the insane health regen from the chestplate can honestly almost offset the lost stats and arguably even outdo it

Honestly I do feel like calamity should at least eventually add rogue weapons dropped by ogre and betsy so people have a reason to fight them to get new weapons for rogues so people actually give it a shot

[tropic jolt]

remember:

[thorn pier]

evil Cyver: forget

[spice hound]

don’t forget

[dusk bronze]

i'll hit you with my car

[tropic jolt]

we're going to spend five nights in a calamity

[thorn pier]

evil Quinn: don't don't forget

[spice hound]

Don’t remember

[tropic jolt]

evil terraria: master mode makes genuinely interesting changes to bosses

[thorn pier]

fuck no!!!!!

[spice hound]

evil terraria: we patched out a bug people love and used that didn’t break the balance of the game

[thorn pier]

hell yes!!!!!

[tropic jolt]

evil calamity: death mode makes genuinely interesting changes to bosses

[spice hound]

Evil yharim: I love gods and think the age of dragons needed to end eventually, everything needs to change eventually

[buoyant pulsar]

i think countermeasure mitt's m2 should have a little lunge with i-frames or something

would make it feel better to use, and less risky

cause like using it against ravager just felt like a guaranteed trade

maybe if it bounced u away a tiny bit

[plush carbon]

Credit where its due for OOA

At least it isnt Acid Rain

[spice hound]

Honestly are any events other than ooa even like at all fun

[hollow adder]

nah
at least you don't have to sit through x amount of useless waves for the drops you actually want

[spice hound]

Like does anyone like doing like goblin army

[hollow adder]

all the invasions have the buff that you can speedrun them in seconds if you stack spawn boosts

[spice hound]

Thats not actually doing the event thats like just cheesing it

[hollow adder]

i wouldn't call cheesing a method that makes them harder

[spice hound]

Well it will like let you complete them in seconds thats kind of cheesing

Especially when you use an explosive weapon to damage them all at once

[cunning sequoia]

is it fun if you want it to end as soon as possible

[spice hound]

That means the event isn’t fun

[hollow adder]

yeah
but you still have the option to speed through it

ooa doesn't have anything

[spice hound]

Thats cause its meant to be something you actually are challenged to beat

Also there is the hoik cheese that trivialises it

[hollow adder]

you have to not only do a bunch of waves that give you nothing, the boss drops aren't even guaranteed

[spice hound]

And you can skip the wait between waves

But events in terraria honestly all suck and none are like really fun as a whole for most people and people always hate it when one happens randomly since theres no easy way to stop it unlike bosses

[plush carbon]

Eh.

[spice hound]

Also this isn’t a ooa exclusive issue this also applies to frost moon and for non-summoners pumpkin moon

[hollow adder]

pretty cool that this is fixed in cal in more ways than one

"easy way to stop it" i mean

[spice hound]

What do you mean

Like the massive spawn rate things

[hollow adder]

on one hand, again, you can use spawn boosts to end them fast
on the other, acid rain has the item that disables it altogether, but also, you can turn it off with the torrential tear
and later on, cosmolight

[plush carbon]

I kept the water filter on my person the entire fucking playthrough last time im not exaggerating

[spice hound]

Also with ooa in my opinion its the most engaged event where you aren’t just throwing yourself at your enemies until they eventually all die, but rather actual gameplay where your actually caring about surviving outside of waiting to respawn

what a calamity

[buoyant pulsar]

if you took

this gold color

and mixed it with

https://calamitymod.wiki.gg/images/thumb/Auric_Bar_(2.0.1.002).gif/57px-Auric_Bar_(2.0.1.002).gif?2a3301

this lightning, i think the auric bar would be perfect

[buoyant pulsar]

if there was a design philosophy behind changing the cool lightning into weird swirly blue energy then i would love to know what that is

[buoyant pulsar]

i mean like this animation is flawed cause the lightning kind of comes from nowhere but i think lightning in general is a cooler theme aesthetically than swirly light blue mystery energy

[dull heart]

Wow such a broken weapon

[boreal pewter]

The Terraria wiki when they try Last Prism on Destroyer

[grim pecan]

needs a nerf i think

1s

[lyric trellis]

2 million hp Provi

[amber egret]

i mean these are both unique to the game so far

[arctic cliff]

the real issue is that it makes it much harder to tell its a bar

[amber egret]

WoF prevents you from leaving the arena and Moon Lord is both a DPS check and anti-lifesteal

so that means Yharim's gotta do max health damage

[grave geyser]

he already does wdym

[amber egret]

oh i never saw that

i used Dimensional Anchor which prevents max hp drops

[grave geyser]

new item for mutant to disable

[amber egret]

he's gotta get buffed in 8.3.12, he doesnt do that much damage

[buoyant pulsar]

do people usually post videos like this with an ulterior motive to prove a point or something lol

i just thought it looked cool the way i killed it

[grave geyser]

something something duke fishron

[amber egret]

wow the post-cultist item does real good on the plant-tier boss

[dense sundial]

Yharim punches small chunks of your body clean off and you have to go pick them up to regain max health

[hasty tangle]

he physically grabs the hearts in your health UI

[grave geyser]

holy shit pmtok real

[dense sundial]

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN!!!

[grave geyser]

yharim has a super move thats undodgable unless you collect all the scattered pieces of the earth elemental

[earnest jewel]

Where's that DAMN fourth Earth Elemental?

[dense sundial]

Speaking of which, I have an idea that I probably need to talk to you about soon

Sorry that’s really vague

[grave geyser]

vagueposting? in calamity mod discord?

unheard of

[earnest jewel]

SPECIFIC POSTING ONLY HERE!

Yharim will CRAWL out of the monitor, SMASH your keyboard, then spend your ENTIRE LIFE SAVINGS on CANDY CRUSH!

[tropic jolt]

I order and return anvils from amazon because I want the delivery drivers in my area to suffer

[polar tide]

he's a whale for mobile games? oh he's EVIL evil

[dull heart]

I would never vague post about that really cool thing I'm working on atm

The one with the sprite

[grave geyser]

so tempting to say the x rework where x is some random bullshit with zero plans

[polar tide]

my vaguepost: i drew a picture

[versed heart]

I think Yharim should increase the respawn timer in multiplayer to 1 minute, because Roaring Knight Swooning is cool and so that definitely means that other games should totally do something similar

[dull heart]

I love the Planty Mush rework

[boreal edge]

Bait used to be believable

[grave geyser]

bringing back tenebris just so you can combine it with planty mush to make "silva matter" which is used to make everything you normally make with planty mush

[halcyon seal]

i love specificposting personally. there is nothing i like more than giving specific information about things. not sure what things though

[dull heart]

Planty Mush is now part of a 17-step process to refine it into gasoline

This is then used to fuel all arsenal wepaons

[thorn pier]

and every update make it cost more

[molten grove]

The Armored Shell is a Post-Moon Lord crafting material dropped by Storm Weaver.
It was originally a recolored Beetle Shell dropped by Armored Diggers and used to craft the Cosmic Worm
In Calamity Mod 1.1.5.03, DoG got them instead and they were now used to craft DoG’s weapons
In Calamity Mod 1.1.7, Storm Weaver was added and the shells were again moved, now being used to craft the Cosmic Worm again

[dull heart]

oh my goodness burrower used to drop armored shell this is peak

[boreal edge]

All of this has been fact-checked by the shark tank

[dull heart]

This means burrower is storm weaver

Which explains why burrower is the best

[urban cloak]

was foretold in the stars that john storm weaver himself would create burrower

[dull heart]

so true

It's genuinely full circle

[thorn pier]

next worm boss should get armored shells

[dull heart]

• Burrower drops Armored Shell
• Storm Weaver added, moved Armored Shell there
• I make Storm Weaver mod, which contributes my first code into Calamity
• I become a calamity dev
• I rework Burrower

The life cycle of a Burrower

[molten grove]

it was an avalon ref
next avalon will reference it

[solemn crest]

In short, boogers when?

[molten grove]

booger burrower

gold digger………..

Hmmmm

[dreamy ridge]

@calamitydevs when 69 armor set

[thorny glacier]

at least they didn’t ask for 67 armor set

[spice hound]

Add 22 armour set

[dusk bronze]

https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Bee_armor

[spice hound]

Calamity should nerf bee armour by 1% summon damage and replace it with idk 1% summon crit chance increase () so it can be the true 22 armour

[dusk bronze]

[spice hound]

When is calamity adding scorched bone wood armour

[buoyant pulsar]

yo shoutout to whoever added lore to each relic dropped by the profaned guardians, it singlehandedly changed them from angry flaming meatballs, to the right hand of providence, each with echoes of their own lives and aspirations and dreams and dispositions and personalities

genuinely breathed so much life into them in such a simple but impactful way

its so cool to think about them not just being mindless constructs/servants but actual people/fighters who she transformed into more powerful forms to match hers and fight alongside her

(totally possible that this is not the intention but i think its way cooler to imagine they used to be people instead of just piles of angry rock)

[spice hound]

They were all people they were part of providence’s evil lesbian polycule team that beat the dragon of flame

[buoyant pulsar]

definitely evil lesbian polycule

this is toxic yuri <3

[spice hound]

They’re toxic yuri, but not to eachother but rather to all other living beings

[buoyant pulsar]

🔥🔥

[blazing field]

tbh it'd be neat

it is more spritework tho but itd be nice for consistency + vanity

alongside maybe a scorched bone furniture set i feel like itd look cool

[spice hound]

Also spine tree fruits please

Give me like a bone cucumber and idk evil figs

[spice hound]

Imagine they add it and its just recoloured bone furniture

But like actually has an new bone candle since the actual bone furnishings don’t got one

[plush carbon]

Scorched Bone definitely deserves a furniture set

though this is coming from a real furniture enjoyer

[neat dock]

Ghost pepper for sure

[neat dock]

The thing was that this lore was already canon but a lot of calamity's lore just jsnt properly implemented yet

[kindred night]

next update is adding a third gender option to your character with new sprites for every armor and new hurt sounds

[earnest jewel]

(They already added 2/3rds of that.)

[kindred night]

woke calamity theory

AND

They're adding puffercat

because people love those

[tropic jolt]

I cant believe the modders are making terraria woke

[high scaffold]

Update this month(I believe)

[tropic jolt]

[hardy gulch]

what would a 4th tier of modded maximum mana boosting item look like for calamity

[dull heart]

+40 Max mana

[hardy gulch]

[high scaffold]

I wish BoC had some unique attack patterns in multiplayer

Free money!

No free money

[main estuary]

i stole the free money
get good bludderoni

[high scaffold]

Actualy, I think that the creeper phase is pretty multiplayer compatable

From design standpoint

The spin, creeper bash

Hand slap a bit less as the brain itself is more involved

The jevil sickle is good also

And then telepathy

[main estuary]

so like an alternate boss ai for multiplayer

that would help skeletron and prime a lot

[high scaffold]

For some attacks, yes

Or if all attacks are problematic, basically all new

[dull heart]

He sort of does

Some of his attacks target multiple players

[high scaffold]

Cool

Makes modded multiplayer a bit less miserable

[versed heart]

True, but so much lore being completely unavailable ingame is super lame and it's great that that's being changed

[blazing field]

For this one specifically it was already shown through the bestiary, but in less detail

[versed heart]

Oh yeah, that sounds right, though I haven't checked

[neat dock]

im ngl but the bestiary seems like a very out-of-the-way place to get lore. yeah it does make sense, but i genuinely think some people forget about it because of how little it means normally

[fathom girder]

shoving lore into your face sucks

if the player wants the lore, they can look for it

[vocal kelp]

truly fascinating viewpoints here

[tropic jolt]

what is the bestiary

is it something on the wiki?

[vocal kelp]

good joke buddy

[lean relic]

I see readAbility mod is disabled

[tropic jolt]

does that mod add the bestiary?

[blazing field]

yeah the bestiary shouldn't be a source of majorly important lore. i think the goal wtih future rewrites of it are gonna be to address that

[blazing field]

i hated it when deltarune shoved the lore into my face. like dude i just want to play the game??? who gaf about tennas divorce trauma or whatever. where's sans i want to fight him

[fathom girder]

deltarune isn't an open sandbox game

the two can't compare

[earnest jewel]

To fight Sans you must learn about divorce trauma, but not for Sans' divorce.

[tropic jolt]

heres sans go fight him right now: https://jcw87.github.io/c2-sans-fight/

[blazing field]

dude i hated it when don't starve together shoved its lore into my face. like who is this charlie person i just want to play the game??? who gaf about maxwells divorce trauma or whatever. wheres Nightmare Werepig i want to fight him

if ur gonna add a story to ur terraria mod even if terraria itself dosent have much of one you want it to be immersive and captivating and not have the implementation be read this wall of text off on the side to learn about it

[tropic jolt]

calamity clearly needs a voice acted narrator

[earnest jewel]

Give me a Yharillion dollars and I'll do it.
But also doing a Mario impression.

[fathom girder]

My point is that I'd rather not have lore be yharon showing up and then telling you his life story like how nameless rants in that one shitpost but like. if it were serious

like yeah that's not a text wall but that's also very uh. in your face

y'know

[vocal kelp]

its cool that that doesnt happen then

actually it does

wow

[earnest jewel]

Someone didn't like Roar of the Jungle Dragon.

[fathom girder]

FUCK

[tropic jolt]

does that happen if you install the bestiary mod

[vocal kelp]

yes

[fathom girder]

Okay okay okay roar of the jungle dragon is GOOD because it doesn't take precedence over gameplay like THAT is fine

[blazing field]

me playing hollow knight when i discover the infection lore by reading the radiance bestiary entry which tells me all about it rather than having the infection and radiance's lore slowly expanded upon through npc dialogue, lore tablets and enviromental storytelling

[tropic jolt]

did you beat sans

[fathom girder]

lore tablets are just bestiary entries if you think about it

[blazing field]

yeah

i beat sans

[steel ravine]

Orichalcum or crystal assassin for 2nd mech

[fathom girder]

though ig bestiary can exist more as a supplement and not the entire thing yeah

[blazing field]

bestiary is at its best when its a supplement and a source of trivia i think

[fathom girder]

yeah that's completely fair

[blazing field]

you can definitely have a narrative thats actually immersive in a terraria mod without having it subtract from the gameplay and i feel like there's a misguided sentiment that the lore needs to be off in the side and self-contained to not feel forced or subtract from the gameplay

[arctic cliff]

the issue is that once again, bestiary has to serve as the main course rn because the main course isnt there yet

[fathom girder]

I have that sentiment

[blazing field]

im using fables as a example again. god bless fables. anyways

[arctic cliff]

at least, unlike yharim lore, it doesnt have bias also tainting it and confusing people

yharim lore being the main source really fucked up my perspective on the lore

[blazing field]

you dont need to read a random wall of text tucked in the bestiary or somewhere in your inventory to leanr about sir nautilus lore. hes right there, you talk with him to start the boss fight. before the fight there's just a little bit of dialogue so taht you don't have to go through a huge conversation to fight the boss, but it's enough to cause intrigue on the player

and then after you beat him, you get rewarded with more dialogue and lore

so the lore itself is also presented as a "reward" of sorts

its not forced at all yet its also very accessible

and the way its presented makes players intrigued and makes them Want to learn more

[lyric trellis]

I feel like people are so used to how the lore items are, which is long spiels without much deep engagement, and just assume that if lore is actually integrated into gameplay more then it’ll just be those same things again but now you’re “forced” to read them

[fathom girder]

yes

[arctic cliff]

from what i remember, brainstorm's lore implementation was somewhat... rushed, and that drama led to Cei quitting

[fathom girder]

that was what I was under the impression of

[arctic cliff]

so its not a surprise that it turned out to be oddly controversial

[blazing field]

The bestiary wasn't meant to get in eah

It got by accident nad devs decided he, might aswell keep it for now

They decided to change their direction for bestiary entries, i think stip talked about it

To avoid this exact thing of having to go off in the bestiary to read the evil wall of text that tells you super important lore

Tho ofc

This might be more of a gradual thing rather than one big swoop i feel

Per example, once, lets say

[arctic cliff]

that makes sense

[blazing field]

more things about the crags/brimstone elemental/etc are implemented in the game

we dont need the Evil Infodumps regarding those topics anymore

But i dunno

[lyric trellis]

Yeah

[polar tide]

too tired to properly engage with this conversation all i want to say is i have always fucking hated how the way you learn that yharim ordered calamitas to kill permafrost is by having it mentioned offhandedly in the bestiary and literally nowhere else in the entire game

[earnest jewel]

I wish Permafrost had anything.

[lyric trellis]

I’d say it’s a safe assumption that a lot of things regarding lore items or info will be removed or cut down when they can actually be shown rather than told. Just look at Weaver’s lore item, you could just show weaver eating Wyverns and have it somewhere in the sky area instead of saying all that in the lore item for example

[blazing field]

not to Infernum but, Weaver just naturally existing in space during post ml and eating wyverns and you can naturally start its fight by hitting it or getting way too close would be very coolio

specially given its current spawn much like all the other distortion guys makes 0 sense

[polar tide]

i'd argue it shouldn't even be post ml

[earnest jewel]

Ah, yes, using this chunk of a dead god is going to lure in a worm because, uh, why not?

[blazing field]

tbh my main worry is that if you make it spawn anytime before that could be a nuisance

[earnest jewel]

It also lets you see doors.

[blazing field]

you accidentaly hit it and you get mauled horribly while you're on the sky islands peboss trying to get a starfury

[earnest jewel]

Ok, but it would be really funny.

[lyric trellis]

Infernum does very well in that regard yes, helps the world feel more alive

[polar tide]

there are things we can do to work around this

[blazing field]

weaver isn't intended to be a immediately post ml fight anyways? I think it's post provi? So there's still an aspect of non-linearity to it, it's just not as extreme

[lyric trellis]

Engaging Weaver pre-ml summons the Weaver Guardian

[earnest jewel]

If you fight Storm Weaver pre-Moon Lord you can only take it down to 10% before it deems you unworthy and forces you to fight the Solar Eclipse again.

[urban cloak]

could just be a separate entity that doesn't trigger the boss fight if its purpose is just to exist and eat shit that's nearby

however it'd be REALLY FUNNY if it did trigger the fight if you smacked it

the angel and devil fighting on my shoulder rn

[lyric trellis]

Every worm boss being fought super earlier than intended

[earnest jewel]

If Aquatic Scourge can be in the game this can be in the game too.

[knotty siren]

I love the idea of bosses spawning naturally, my only thing would be still having a manual way to summon them

[urban cloak]

jokes aside though yeah it could just not trigger the fight

could just have it pop up for a few seconds and leave

[polar tide]

it ignores you pre ml unless you somehow manage to take like a quarter of its hp then it stops to beat you up

[urban cloak]

could have weaver be in the background so entities can't interact with it in any capacity

[earnest jewel]

New update idea: The ability to find Calamitas on the map and ragebait her into starting her boss fight pre-boss.

[urban cloak]

many ways to go about it

[spice hound]

I’d assume it would only spawn in hardmode since it can then actually be shown hunting wyverns

[lyric trellis]

Weaver becoming everyone’s favorite boss because it’ll eat the annoy as hell harpies and save you

[arctic cliff]

please do

[spice hound]

Wait thats fire

[blazing field]

THIS IS WHAT HE DESERVES

[lyric trellis]

Weaver fans finally get their justice

[blazing field]

dont fuck with us weaver fans theres like 6 of us

[knotty siren]

I like the concept of weaver just not the fight itself

[urban cloak]

many such cases in this mod

[blazing field]

hes just a little guy.

[polar tide]

"i like the concept just not the fight itself" could literally be calamity's tagline rn

[knotty siren]

Mb

[polar tide]

?

whyare you apologizing

[urban cloak]

you're okay lol you don't need to apologize

we are agreeing with you

[blazing field]

calamity mod i love you i love your story i love your future plans i love the awesome shit the calamity dev team is cooking for you

but dear lord

meet potential mod

[knotty siren]

My main issue with storm weaver is that it’s just not very interesting

As a fight

[blazing field]

this goes for like 80% of the bosses i think

[polar tide]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-crying-kitty-sad-crying-kitten-sad-kitty-sad-kitten-crying-kitty-gif-14257501369475522884

[knotty siren]

I feel like it would be cool if it foreshadowed some of dogs attacks later on but I’m also a dumb dumb stupid idiot so don’t listen to me lol

[blazing field]

very excited for the update that adds pigs. im more excited for it than brainstorm cuz if u think abt it its the first actual update made by the. post fab dev team really

since braisntorm was just a backlog of sso cahnges

[spice hound]

I wonder if they plan to lean into the “weaver” in storm weaver in some way like have its movements leave,a lightning trails its like weaving or something

[blazing field]

plus i really like how u guys hvae been approaching spoilers now

im glad changelogs died ngl

devblogs and teasers generate enough hype to create intrigue

[earnest jewel]

We have Destroyer for that.

I AM SO SAD ABOUT CHANGELOGS MAN

I FEEL SO LONELY

[blazing field]

while also keeping enough secret to generate excitement

like

[knotty siren]

That would be cool as long as they kill the cloud attack

[blazing field]

its kinda nice. to not actually

[knotty siren]

[blazing field]

know everything coming in the Boar Update

[blazing field]

that would be cool

[polar tide]

https://tenor.com/view/j-cat-bludfart2-kitty-gif-2102657319162426175

[blazing field]

it's still hilarious to tell people not familiar with calamity's recent development when they ask "is there an update coming soon?"

yeah

[urban cloak]

if changelogs still existed there would've been a batch that just listed off every new item in the damn update and it would've been ☹️

[blazing field]

there's an update ocminh gopefully soon

[spice hound]

Give storm weaver a scarf drop made of lightning that it wove

[blazing field]

it's a pig update

it adds pigs

"what do yo umean by that"

its what it says on the lid man

its a pig update

it adds pigs

[spice hound]

It adds pigs and hogs and swines

[still bluff]

#changelogs added The Hog ❌

[knotty siren]

I’m very excited for the future of this mod ngl

[urban cloak]

you gotta remove the checkmark man its not merged yet

[still bluff]

ah fuck true

[arctic cliff]

i actually dont mind that

[blazing field]

for april fools next year you guys should bring back changelogs and only have like 1 message on it and its like

[silent horizon]

How was the Unc Duke fight?

[knotty siren]

So uh

[spice hound]

#changelogs added ragebait ❌

[knotty siren]

I haven’t beat him yet

[still bluff]

added older duke

[silent horizon]

You had a NIGHT, bro.

[spice hound]

added young duke

[knotty siren]

Had to go to bed but I’m gonna beat unc Duke tonight

[blazing field]

1 - Added Golden Super Hitler ✅

[arctic cliff]

im personally of the mind that knowing what is apaprently being added lets me feel more confident about what the update adds

but at the same time

[silent horizon]

Capitalize Unc.
Put some respect on his name, boy.

[polar tide]

we should not do this

[tropic jolt]

added the horse
added the hog
added the duke
removed sober prince

[blazing field]

yknow golden super hitler sounds like the name of a shitty dc villain from the 80s that never got any popularity and showed up in only like 2 comics ever

[cunning sequoia]

dont fuck with aureus fans. theres only 2 of us

[still bluff]

2?

when did you find someone else

[cunning sequoia]

me and tofu

[knotty siren]

I liked astrum aureus it was a decent fight

[still bluff]

oh tofu's just astral in general

that doesn't count

[blazing field]

you tell me it dosen't when you got shit like Armless Tiger Man

[cunning sequoia]

you dont count

[blazing field]

And Living Skeleton Man

[earnest jewel]

DC villain names are way better.
Like Snowflame.

[spice hound]

1 - Added astral undergrowth
2 - Removed Astral Undergrowth
3 - Renamed Earth elemental to Heat Elemental

[cunning sequoia]

hate monger

[blazing field]

you tell me there wouldn't be a Golden Super Hitler

[silent horizon]

He showed up in the 40s and was scrapped by D-Day.

[cunning sequoia]

i love hate monger

its like the funniest fucking character ever

its a clone of hitler with a hitler gun

[blazing field]

HITLER GUN

:SOB

[earnest jewel]

What about Dogwelder?

[blazing field]

hey he's not av illain. he's a hero. apparently

[silent horizon]

Deals nein-ty base damage.
This sucks🥀

[earnest jewel]

Of course Dogwelder is a hero.

[arctic cliff]

dont fuck with eidolist fans. theres only like __ of us

[earnest jewel]

What's villainous about the guy?

[silent horizon]

Wait, what's the joke?

[earnest jewel]

Eidolists would have fans if their lore wasn't a sentence.

[arctic cliff]

eidolist lore was also goofed up

[blazing field]

Eidolists could be cool.

Abyss rework in 5 days

[silent horizon]

Ohhh, right.
What about the Aureus joke?

[lyric trellis]

Would’ve been kinda funny to have people guess what they were though

[silent horizon]

Golden Star.

[earnest jewel]

Astrum Aureus has two fans.

[arctic cliff]

it was originally cultists turneed into eidolon wyrms, but apparently they got reworked into... cultists who were turned by silva into mermen or something???

[blazing field]

ok i agree with this

[arctic cliff]

and that just was so lame man

[silent horizon]

Yea, what's the joke?

[urban cloak]

true ig

[earnest jewel]

What?

[cunning sequoia]

ambiguous changelogs are very funny

[earnest jewel]

That's it. There's only two.

[blazing field]

actually

[knotty siren]

Wait wasn’t there supposed to be solar cultists in base terraria at some point

[blazing field]

to fix this you guys should drop like

2 names of ranndom hogwild items right now

[silent horizon]

That sounds like something a crackhead would tell me on the street.

[earnest jewel]

In the files but unused.

[blazing field]

greatest teaser ever

dont elaboraate on what they are

[cunning sequoia]

imagine logging in to discord to see the new changelogs for the calamity update and you see

"Added Divine Swine"

[blazing field]

just send the names nad have people figure it out

[silent horizon]

Oh.

[blazing field]

itd be funny

[arctic cliff]

apparently ya. this was years ago tho, and i remember other devs were not entirely into this

[lyric trellis]

Vaguepost update

[arctic cliff]

so im sure it might have changed

[cunning sequoia]

vaguehog

[blazing field]

"Added Bad Piggies ✅ "

thats literally gonna be something that happens

im so scared

[silent horizon]

They got hard-nerfed, then😂

[blazing field]

unless the horrible hog spawning bad piggy minions was scrapped

[arctic cliff]

actually should i ping stip about this or nah

[cunning sequoia]

imagine knowing absolutely nothing about this server's inside jokes

[earnest jewel]

Fairly certain the sentence of lore they have is; Dragon Cultists who worshipped the Eidolon Wyrms and turned themselves into wyrm things.

[knotty siren]

Gulp

[silent horizon]

Huh?
What?
Not me.
Uh uh.
Nope.

[urban cloak]

yea its just zombies

[cunning sequoia]

and just seeing all the pig related shit getting added witH NO explanation

[blazing field]

rest in peace we aren't getting "Added Bad Piggies ✅ "

[cunning sequoia]

booo

[blazing field]

its the pig update man. it adds pigs.

[cunning sequoia]

bad update

[spice hound]

Imagine like they release changelogs which don’t actually confrom what was added but lists it ambigigiously

• might’ve added the Horrible Hog
• could’ve reworked Spear of Paleolith
• potentially but highly unlikely added yharim

[cunning sequoia]

a bad piggy update

[still bluff]

maybe removed the horse

we can't tell

[earnest jewel]

This is a reference to Yharim being potential man.

[silent horizon]

Don't they like edge his arrival a lot in the lore?

[blazing field]

Highly likely to have added several new horses ✅
All but confirmed to have added a horse subworld ✅
Almost certain to have added a post-Calamitas Horse boss ✅

[arctic cliff]

for those who dont believe me (WWG)

[blazing field]

And then none of them actually got added since yeah by all means

[lyric trellis]

Added a real boss

[still bluff]

also removed cheese

[blazing field]

none of them are confirmation statements

[cunning sequoia]

welp

[arctic cliff]

added the boss™

[neat dock]

If you summon storm weaver during the celestial invasion, specifically while near the vortex pillar, the pillar strikes Storm Weaver with a lightning bolt. This transforms it into the postgame superboss, Shocktastic Snake

[cunning sequoia]

fluffy you gotta remove your name now

[blazing field]

Added the Device

[blazing field]

thats fcuekd up.

[still bluff]

true

[valid crypt]

There may be new lore implementation

[silent horizon]

I almost thought this was real.

[cunning sequoia]

Added Golden Sigma

[blazing field]

this is the only one thats straight up confirmed

no "might've", no "maybe"

[spice hound]

• added a new recipe for vernal soil
• didn’t actually add a recipe for vernal soil i lied
• re-added aftershock
• didn’t actually re-add aftershock again I lied
• removed draedon’s 3 line of dialogue
• another brilliant lie from the devs, draedon’s dialogue is unchanged
• remaned earth elemental to horse elemental
• that wasn’t actually a lie, but we did turn him into a work boss

[arctic cliff]

this implies weaver is a snake

[blazing field]

no we added golden sigma. he's in

[lyric trellis]

Yharim’s new title

[cunning sequoia]

he was destined

[valid crypt]

• Big Bill was too big to add ✅

[earnest jewel]

Removed Earth Elemental.
Added Neo Earth Elemental.

[arctic cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/itchy-nose-snake-hognose-blanket-gif-11127955664354561390

[silent horizon]

And he's not a machine this time.

[blazing field]

weaver is probably whatever DoG is

their biology is weird

[cunning sequoia]

Golden Sigma would beat the shit out of yharim

[blazing field]

i mean

[arctic cliff]

NO

CHEESE

[silent horizon]

Snakes are cute.

[blazing field]

dog is called a serpent but

[arctic cliff]

THIS ISNT THE CASE

[blazing field]

it dosent look like one

[valid crypt]

Weaver and dog are artificial beings :p
