calamity is the most overrated mod ever

[hymical]

its simply not as good as advertised, the color orange is just bad, its unbalanced, the bosses arent cool and the gameplay is bland

[Harin]

i dont think is so bad but calamity dont need this attention people just talk about calamity, calamity is turning into a boring mod

[geordiebroon58]

despite being a bait post i do kinda have to agree


the balance is fine and more into the challenging things which is well also fine but then i also feel like other things sit too close to the unfair edge of things

doing revengence, old duke felt annoying to fight having some vortet attack that just gets in the way slowing you down and a dash that is perfectly accurate and as far as i could tell no way to know it than just timing

i found myself plenty of times dashing 0.1ms too early etc

and then the ceaceless void is just a nightmare to look at when sheild orbs are up it takes to understand THE EXACT MOVEMENTS of the orbs to even properly avoid them which isnt consitnet at all because it depends on the movement of the miniboss himself

when his sheilds are down it is more bareable but even then at first glance its just dumb

i know he used to be weak (first time in revengence) but as of now he just feels way more like you just gotta get lucky to tank enough hits than actually a dodgeable boss

theres a difference between being challenging and just being annoying / bad design

even the plantera gas orbs that it left behind gave me problems as i didnt even realise they were moving as i was too focused with other things

but then theres other bosses like leviathin i actually enjoyed going against and i had died to leviathin almost as much as i died to plantera or i had fun dying to providence but im not having that same fun to celestial void

even astrum aurus felt annoying that or summoner weapons at plantera time are just too weak (but even then with pre moonlord gear it still toook some attempts)


the mod is clearly only so populer and high rated because it was one of the first to receive massive attention and its well knowen to provide a good challenge against the player being more skill based than most mods out there (only rivled by something like fargous soul mod)

the mod has plenty of time to develop balance its self out etc but some issues are still there and it doesnt make it perfect or the automatic best out there

but regardless i think its a great introduction to the modded scense with great music keeping more in theme with normal terraria and great set of music ost

TL:DR

calamity isnt perfect and is praised way more because of the fact that it was one of the more OG mods and was very challenging over it being on of the best mods to have ever been made

some fights even now just seem unfair and not in a good / challenging way either

I just don't play calamity because fabsol is a douchebag from what i've seen

Slopmity devs try to make a boss pattern better than a 3 year old clicking random buttons in crazystorm engine for 5 minutes challenge (impossible)

a disscussion filled with wheatley wannabes

[bruhgod69]

agreed half of the bosses are worm bosses and the majority of the bosses that arent have reused vanilla ai

no jester for you m8

[Isaac_MonkeyBoy]

i just think it extending progression really far past moon lord is laaaaame
brimstone elemental's before the pillars anyway and she's the hottest thing in the entire mod, puns entirely intended

Don't like it ? Don't play it.

Everything else is just subjective "I like x better than y" "I think Z is bad" , no one cares what you think (or I think or anyone else for that matter)

Stop wasting time and energy on useless complaints trying to farm useless awards.

Edit I will take my own advice and just leave this pointless topic, Adios

You know what? I somehow remembered this thread again after youtube trying to shove more calamity slop into my throat, and after playing some shmups like Dodonpachi SaiDaiOuJou and Devil Blade.
It's not a "I think" problem.

Calamity mod is objectively awful.

I have never, ever seen something so primitive and yet so highly praised like calamity mod.

The boss designs are basic, badly telegraphed, attack pattern unbalanced and random, with pacing all over the place, and even the bullet sprites look bad. It's almost exactly designed against players learning the patterns and towards farming cheap deaths it's laughable.

It's obvious the devs understand nothing about game design, and have zero passion in spending any effort to make any of the bosses good. I genuinely think the devs would improve their design by just clicking stuff randomly in crazystorm (it's the engine powering Touhou FDF series, also made in C# and with duct tape like calamity so I don't think programming skill is the limit here).

Calamity is good...have u seen how much calamity stuff is on the game Starbound...i have put stuff included...calamity mod is good its just so old and the devs are trying hard to keep it going and not boring...i bet idk actually...just guessing

[Scarlet Temple (Pilate)]

also worms are just cool imo and maybe they think that too...but maybe NOT so MANY lol, maybe they don't have good boss ideas idk

nice necro.
anyways why do you care if people like objectively bad games/mods? I dont really understand why people spend time complaining about games they dont like. just dont play them. dont interact with it. there are tons of popular games i think are overrated but you dont see me complaining about em.

Could I ask what you think is a good mod/set of mods? I played Calamity, I personally enjoyed it, but mostly because the progression cycle felt enjoyable and like Terraria continued from Moonlord somewhat. If there are better mods I would love to try them out. Thank you, have a good day.
