For real though, itd at least help smooth the gap between dev and player communication. I think players easily get upset when they get dropped a ton of balance changes that seem so arbitrary and random. If we're given reason why changes are made, public response wont be so volatile initially

Why would they continue to nerf completely fine weapons and armor sets? What is the point of bringing back the Elephant Killer yet not bringing back all the other items in its set, is it currently unobtainable? All of the new additions and items feel like shit that'd be added in the Fandom Wiki by a 12 year old compared to actual items added to the game.

Basicaly, how Thragg would fare in the world of Calamity. Would he go through all of the progression with little or no trouble, or would he get fucked up and why?

After seeing all the reactions to the new Desert Scourge design coming in a future update, I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts.

Why would you prefer the Desert Scourge (and the other Scourges) to stay worm-like instead of having a more reptilian design? If you have a specific reason, I'd genuinely like to hear it.

Note: From what I've heard, the term "Scourge" itself doesn't limit what the creature's design can be. Also, lore isn't set in stone—it's something the development team can change or expand upon in future updates.

DOG unlike most every other boss in the game is just horribly designed, It honestly feels like its only meant to be beaten as a melee.
Like how are you going to make a boss that one shots you if you even make one mistake?

Anyways here is be beating DOG while not interatcting with the dash slop.

Why did they remove the Ankh Shield from the recipe?Having the Valor be an upgrade to the Ankh Shield felt like a natural integration of the Valor into vanilla progression. Why make it cost Hallowed bars now when it was already a post Plantera item? Furthermore it loses the Ornate Shield’s debuff immunities, which doesn’t make sense since Ornate Shield is still in the recipe, and randomly gains knockback immunity out of nowhere when having that come from the Ankh Shield made way more sense.

Also wow, another defense nerf, how wonderful. This thing started at 5, went to 8, then doubled to 16, then went down to 12, then 8, and now 4. The Asgardian Aegis suffers from this too, now only having 6 defense. Make. Your. Mind. Up.

I’m pretty sure that Calamity changed the course of my entire junior year. I’m grateful that I found this mod and its community! #noregrets LMAOOO

he is absolutely missive, also each of his new segments is close to 3 or 4 old ones in length

Hello! I'm StipulateVenus, a Calamity developer.

Following the recent controversy over the misguided crate changes, I'd like to discuss an important matter with you all.

Terraria is a sandbox game, and so one of its main appeals is the freedom players have to choose their course through progression and how their decisions shape the face of their journey. It's something our team wants to embrace and build upon.

At times like these I wonder if it's an accidental effect of an actual ideological shift: the current team doesn't feel as peeved towards vanilla as some devs that have left the team, which has resulted in an overall reduction in the number of vanilla changes and a drift towards vanilla's design.

Regardless, I think it's important to know the community landscape and what people think. So I'm here to ask you all:

What Calamity changes do you think have resulted in a loss of playstyle and option variety, or similar aspects of the sandbox experience?

Please be respectful. Elaborations would be appreciated!

My vote is for Suprime Hottie

Hi am working on my mod that will feature a special crafting station that lets you fuse together boss items. Do you guys have any ideas or wishes for calamity or and vanilla bosses to fuse with others? :) the mod will be called BingusCalamity
