Argh I just died fighting Isaac with ???, trying to unlock the D6, and I had such a good run going. I went into the fight with 8 hearts, The Empress card, lil brimstone, harlequin baby, and bunch of other good stuff. Plus I had a dark bum and the crystal ball for most of the run. Hard to top the items I got and I died, drat it.

Has there been a fix yet for the flooded caves making the floors invisible? It's getting super annoying.

The first solution is specifically for Mac because Windows PCs don't usually have the issue, but if you are on PC, the second solution will still work except that config.ini is in your My Documents folder. from reddit posted:Second edit: Or edit the settings located under Performance issues, or shader problems.

Tetracube posted:Has anyone figured out the ultra greed/hush hp scaling yet? Far as I can tell it's time based. You can only do so much damage before it starts aggressively reducing the damage you deal, and if you stop doing damage for a while it'll let you do it all at full strength. I'm sure someone in the modding subreddit has exact info. https://www.reddit.com/r/themoddingofisaac/comments/3rh9ks/ultra_greed_damage_scaling/ Einwand fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Nov 9, 2015 |

lol I wasn't expecting to get to hush so I used my box against mom's heart and was stuck with just incubus and lil'brimstone (aka "the reason I didn't die") that hush fight as lilith took forever. thank gently caress for all those half hearts laying around the arena. at least now I have it lives unlocked so I can go to the real end game, which is what I wanted to happen but the satan door didn't pop up

Power of Pecota posted:I feel like this might not even work with Ultra Greed with how much he repositions + the self-heal. Actually you can do it with gnawed leaf and a single orbital. If you get between him and the south wall during a charge attack, he'll be unable to do anything but charge into your orbital and die slowly.

I had insanely fast rof/damage, I used diplopia to duplicate cat-o-nine-tails, and had a lot of other good stuff. I got lost contact and that combined with huge tears and a high rof ended up shielding me.

I really like the fact that there are now a couple of bosses in the game where you have to kind of knuckle down no matter how strong you are. I wouldn't want this to be commonplace, but having 2 is good. Also just tried the Blue Bomber challenge. I pretty much got my rear end kicked but man that was fun. It's hard for the right reason. It's fast paced but positioning yourself is tricky at times. Compare this to something like the solar system challenge where every single room is just a monotonous grind.

I don't mind Ultra Greed having the damage scaling but with the Hush I don't like it because I know I'll never go for the extra 2-5 items I'll get in the Blue Womb because I know I'll never want to spend the 5-8 extra minutes dealing with Hush.

A friend got me Afterbirth, and it seems ok. Is there any way to cheat to unlock The Lost and Lilith, because I really don't like playing Azazel. It's not hard, it's just tedious charging his laser.

Power of Pecota posted:I feel like this might not even work with Ultra Greed with how much he repositions + the self-heal. I had a similar setup for Hush earlier and he can sometimes (he did it in 5 of 6 Dead Cat lives) hit a phase near the end where he goes underground and spawns polyps and won't come out until you kill them all. He spawns them almost instantly when one dies so if your familiars can't kill them fast enough, you can't continue the fight. Manatee Cannon posted:I like both of the new bosses This is how I feel, they are both mechanically sound and enjoyable fights but they take like 10 times too long. Personally I don't feel that it's good game design to have a run be 25% one boss fight.

I think my major problem with Ultra Greed is that I don't really feel like the fight lasting longer adds much to it. His fight doesn't really scale very well as it goes on and he isn't challenging enough to really feel like it's a race between who will win. Hush is fine because Hush scales up and it becomes a legitimate challenge to take him down. Ultra Greed? Meh. Even with the changes and nerfs to the fight he's tanky more than hard.

It's great that two steam sales now means free shop items for ever. If you get the restock item, you're basically guaranteed to destroy the game, as Chaos is bound to show up in the shop if you just keep removing items from the pool. Then you can basically get any item in the game.

Greed Mode is so boring. Same path, every time, minor differences to enemy waves, lovely HP-sponge boss at the end. Just crossed 160 coins in the machine. This is gonna be a long haul, isn't it? Though I'll say this for it - you do get some interesting item combos you don't normally see. I had Soy Milk, Tractor Beam, Death's Touch, and magnet tears and even though it took ages and was super dangerous when Ultra Greed started charging, it was pretty amazing to see in action. The enemies typically got stuck around the middle of the beam of tears, unable to move. Do a sweep of the area to suck them in like you were a Ghostbuster and they can't get out. That said, holy gently caress something in that combination was making Scolex absolutely poo poo himself. I guess it was the magnet tears? If you're firing when he pops out, he bounces all over the place and his segments all come apart. They made me fight three.

I think Greed Mode itself is pretty poo poo, but it has the coolest boss in the whole game attached to it. I hope they add Ultra Greed to normal mode as an optional boss in the future.

I'm probably late to the party here, but I just found out the reroll machines in treasure rooms work with all pedestals in the room. Bring your temperance and judgement cards and get some good poo poo. Dr. Fetus posted:I wish Chaos was a starting item for someone.

Just lost an hour of getting every drat item after getting a restock with Humbe Bundle and Life Savings when I eventually crashed the game with Succubus, Dr. Fetus, Cluster Bombs, Mutant Spider, Hot Bombs, Mom's Eye, Sad Bombs, and Glitter Bombs.

Hot tip, if you exit out of a run it forcibly creates a temp save to continue off of in future, which it'll use if you crash or alt+F4 out while dieing but not at the "today I died" screen.

Not always. I was watching Richard Hammer make a completely ridiculous build last week and chat kept telling him to force a save like that in case he crashed. Eventually he did and the continue option just wasn't there. Like, he exited the game and it only said 'new game' on the main menu, he didn't crash.

So they definitely didn't test the new bosses with the old challenges. I've only got two left and I can tell they're going to be absolute nightmares. How in the flying gently caress are you even supposed to beat double trouble frail on Beans! Also spent a good two hours I should've been asleep grinding out Lost runs to try and get at least something on the post-it note. At this rate I'll just get an RPG save because I am absolutely sick of resetting for half an hour and dying on like caves 2 or something. I can't even beat mom with him.

It's annoying that defeating hush the first time will force my run to end, don't want to waste this run so I guess I'm just not doing hush until I'm playing a character I don't need any progression on.

Is anyone else having trouble deciding whether to go for overall score or the time rank in the daily challenges? My rank is absolutely abysmal whenever I try to accumulate my score and I seem to have way more success with just speed running. Do people with a high score spend hours farming for items or what's the deal? I was pretty stoked about the dailies before, but now I'm not so sure. I have more fun trying to beat them quickly, but thanks to the RNG nature of the game your run is determined by the wrong/right paths you take.

The problem with ultra greed isn't that he's tanky, if a fight is interesting enough it's ok to be tanky. Ala Hush. The problem is that none of his attacks are hard.

Do people with a high score spend hours farming for items or what's the deal? The dailies are seeded and you can do practice runs. You could, if you want to be insane about it, take your time to explore every room thoroughly, write it all down, map out the most valuable path, and do your optimized run on the actual daily.
