gently caress X a billion. Finally cleared Cathedral/Isaac with the Lost. Used a map card in the chest to go straight to Blue Baby fight. Two rooms away I run into 2x adversary. No Cat, no holy mantle, no trinity shield. Just 2 flies, fat fly, and dry baby. I hate this game so much..... Earlier on a non lost run I finally found out how to kill the Tank in One hit. Epic fetus + ipecac works wonders. Has anyone made any sort of either calculator where you can just tick things off, or something that reads the game data, so I can see exact values for the various stats?

With the amount of poo poo in Isaac, I'm sure there are countless edge cases that come within a bit of breaking the game. So if an item fails to spawn a boss 1 in 100 times, then that's still better than a CTD

Hyphen-ated posted:Hello Isaac Players. Brett824 and I made an item tracker that tells you item stats when you pick them up, and you can also click on the items to open the platinumgod page about them. Check it out: https://github.com/Hyphen-ated/RebirthItemTracker Just did a couple runs with this. Great tool. Any way you could make it (or put in options to make it/not make it):  -Display mod totals for each stat(Maybe not with multipliers because I have no idea how they stack) -Are pills trackable? And I'm guessing food is supposed to not show up because it's just health and nobody cares?

If you guys can't survive a run with tech have you considered that you might be bad at the game? Tech 1 and 2 are only Bad when you have an exceptionally low tear rate. (And until you get at least one damage up for tech 2) The hitbox on Tech 1 is a bit wonky, but only for wall spiders, and it's easy to adjust to. Tech 2 is pretty much always a net power gain with a "normal" build (low numbers or super late game god combos lose damage) Tech .5 is just some extra damage. The techs lose out a little because there are more ways to gain piercing in Rebirth than there were in classic.

Prop Wash posted:Personally the thought never occurred to me. I don't like tech because it doesn't play well with a lot of otherwise fun tear effects, guppy and spoon bender being notable exceptions. Well that's fine and a choice to be made. Outright saying "Tech 1 is bad because hitbox and tech2 is bad because damage down" despite the math meaning it's a net damage up, leads me to believe some people need to stop playing on normal and put in more hours.

omeg posted:I've got my RPG legitimately so no need to be condescending. If you have any sources for your "math meaning it's a net damage up" statement I'll gladly see them. As far as I know Tech 1 fires at your normal tear rate and doesn't improve damage, so its only positive is piercing/range. I don't know how to calculate Tech 2's DPS but it just wasn't impressive unless I already had good killing power. Tech 2 is a 30% damage decrease, but you now fire from a second source. Say you had 10 damage, your tears now do 7 and the beam from tech 2 does 7. 14>10. Considering most characters start with 3.5 damage.: 3.5*.7 =2.45. that's 2.45 for the tear and 2.45 for the beam. Still technically more, but the low fire rate at the beginning of the game makes it seem exceptionally lovely. I'm also not exactly sure how the beam distributes its damage, as I think quickly moving the beam over an enemy doesn't do a full tick worth of damage. Having 2.5 damage instead of 3.5 damage will lead to early enemies taking 1-2 more tears than normal to kill. Later on, this becomes less of an issue. Edit: Apparently it's a 35% damage decrease, not fixing the numbers. Still a net gain. http://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.com/Technology_2 Tech 2 also doesn't override Polyphemus/Mom's Knife. It does combo poorly with Brim, and I don't know what it does with Epic Fetus. Gibbo fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Feb 24, 2015 |

Xenogenesis posted:Unless I missed it, you didnt factor in that Tech 2 replaces half your tears with the laser. The damage is straight up worse. I consider the fact that your fire rate on the tear is down balanced by the continuous fire of the laser.

Xenogenesis posted:The laser damages each enemy hit once per shot. For Tech 1 yes. Not tech 2, which is constant. The Tic rate on that beam is determined by tear rate, and it hits more often than when your tear eye fires.

Does anyone have any idea why the game would run fine on a pretty standard laptop, runs fine on my desktop fullscreen (4690k, 7970), but when I try to play windowed on my desktop I see massive slowdown periodically?
