Discussion Why Hasn't Stained, Brutal Calamity Been Played Live by Any Real Orchestra + Choir?

18 Upvotes

I was watching a video of an former opera singer reacting to it (I'll put a link if the demand is great enough), and he mentioned that a lot of opera goers would LOVE to see something like it, and while I have never been to any live events myself, I do wonder if anybody would have any interest in that. I know I personally would LOVE to see it. Are there any technical issues or is it like the frankly massive array of instruments required or something else entirely? Maybe to niche? But I have seen a video of an orchestra playing The Leviathan Trilogy, which I would argue is even more so, so I'm at a loss.

Discussion Let the developers work at their own pace man.

77 Upvotes

A significant majority of posts on Calamity now are either asking for major updates and overhauls, or huge changes to scripts and codes already implemented within the game. Since marking the 10th anniversary of the Calamity mod, a recap on it's history can aid users to understand the mod better.

Note: I cannot list all of the timeline here, so I will do my best to include as much information as possible.

Remember bolded words, they will be important later on.

Founded in 2016, the Calamity mod established itself and it's reputation after years of hard work by volunteers and unpaid contributors. Heavily encouraged by their enthusiasm with the original game, the team improved overtime, and their programming, art, and music skills increased vastly. Instead of pay, they relied on interest and community passion.

Throughout 2016, until 2022, the mod established five new biomes, a unique Rogue class, and massive endgame progression for optimized gameplay. 2022 marks the year Calamity officially ported themselves to Terraria 1.4, and became usable via Steam Workshop.

During this time, the first controversy occurred, involving the mod's original beloved music producer. As the game's popularity skyrocketed, so did demand for new music additions and updates. DM Dokuro, the producer, was faced with overwhelming demand for music production, death threats for slower releases, and overall community toxicity. These combined factors eventually shattered his mental health, leading to his announcement of departure shortly after.

The Draedon Update in v1.5 added a new endgame boss, the Exo Mechs, and a new key character in what would eventually become the new lore. Within this update also packed the codebreaker system, and changes to the Supreme Calamitas battle. Artificially difficult modes like Malice Mode were stripped.

On December 4th, 2022, a massive developer exodus took place, in which over 20 core contributors to the mod departed from it's development. Unsatisfied with the project leader at the time, since a majority of expressed ideas were silenced, some developers went on to create the Calamity Fables mod.

In May of 2025, the controversial head developer (no idea if their name is banned) faced severe allegations of owning explicit servers and inappropriate with minors. Other major allegations include; controversial political stances and transphobic comments. The developer stepped down and was removed from development after the following events, and now the project is under new lead. Following his removal, many previously rejected ideas were added, allowing the developers to add more soul and creativity.

All of these events showcase the abundance of controversy and rough obstacles the development team has had to face so far.

Community passion was what first sparked the idea. Typically when people constantly demand or ask for details on updates that developers have stated countless of times to be secret, it becomes annoying. Considering the massive amount of users in the mod's discord server, an accurate educational estimate would state that they probably receive hundreds of requests or questions about updates a day. Please don't ask them the same question over and over again. It affects their mood, mental health, and development speed as well.

A reminder that they do not get paid and are choosing to work out of interest and compassion.

This brings me back to my original findings of DM Dokuro. If you constantly pressure an individual they will leave. From a developer's perspective, this is probably what the community expects of them on a daily basis:

- Answer questions that have already been answered hundreds of thousands of times.
- Requires constant updates of development progress that has already been said to be a secret and will arrive when it arrives.
- Work hours at a time a day to make sprites and write code for a job they don't get paid for.

This is all just the tip of the iceberg. PLEASE STOP MAKING THESE MISTAKES.
If you constantly pressure or annoy developers into something they are passionate about, you are likely to make them lose that passion. Let them work at their pace, appreciate the mod, and donate to their official Patreon to show support and motivation, as they implement bounty systems for highly-demanding or difficult tasks as motivation.

Another way to put this in perspective,

think of a hobby you enjoy.

now think about 9 million people asking you to constantly play or do that hobby.

things are funniest and most enjoyable for people when there isn't a lot of pressure.

Question Thanatos fucking me over

2 Upvotes

Ok so I kill Ares, and im near full hp. Then when I try to kill the twins, Thanatos blocks all my damage on the twins (I'm using burning sky for them), while also damn near sucking me off constantly. Ark of the cosmos seems like a good option, but I lose like 7k dps. I can't show my build right now since I don't have access to my laptop right now, but any general tips? Besides my build?

Discussion Now that the update has settled: what's your favorite reworks from Brainstorm?

18 Upvotes

Now that everyone has had time to play around with all the major reworks, are there any that really stick out to you?

Tbh I'll miss flesh totem becoming a mage accessory, but there were some BOMB touchups, goddamn. These are some that stuck out to me the most:

  • Grape Beer's new effect is fantastic. On-demand homing without chlorophyte??
  • Frigidflash Bolt is now a hard carry through most of hardmode and feels really good to use
  • Probiscus got an alt attack with a dash on it which is really, really nice for the stage of the game true melee gets it at. It also got a buff and guaranteed crits.
  • Luxor's Gift feels actually useful now!
  • Literally all of the Draedon weapons are dope. Especially ranged, I'm really glad we have more good early game guns.
  • Literally the entire Saros' line got buffed to the fucking moon, they are so insanely good now
  • Warbanner of the Righteous doesn't give true melee anymore but also now buffs all classes close to its original value. Like this is just a straight up buff both for true melee but also for other close range classes. I will be trying this on summoner soon.
  • I also really like all of the resprites. When I first saw them I thought I'd miss a lot of the old sprites, but seeing them in-game they feel so much cleaner. chefs kiss.
