Met posted:I don't think that was the problem for me. I think the expansion was good for experienced players but really hurt the people who bought both the base and expansion together and started with Lamb content. As someone who has been playing since before WotL came out, I agree. The expansion definitely brings with it a spike in difficulty and given how hard I found the vanilla game when I first started, it must be pretty crazy trying to start with WotL.

Choco1980 posted:Pre-ordered this AM, and I'm totally psyched. Plenty of people like the old artwork better, but you're the first person I've ever heard describing the artwork from the first as "crisp and clean". It's a bit on the sloppy side, honestly. In any case, there will be a filter you can apply in Rebirth to make it look more like the last game.

I'd like to see how it actually looks since I'm not big on the pixel-art style either but filters in my experience usually just make it look like you're playing the normal game only it looks like someone rubbed vaseline on the camera lens. I don't know how to link directly to it, but it's on the second page, four posts down. Also, you should really skim through the blog at least because there are some amazing gifs in there.

Is it normal for Eden to only have 7 stat points between their six stats? Because I can't recall having ever gotten more than that, and I was hoping that Eden would be better than this.

Dead Boy is definitely bugged. I just beat the chest for a second time and took about 8 full hearts of damage during it. Still got it. I guess I'm just that good. I'm glad that Isaac is easier than Satan now. In the last game he was terrible. For those who didn't play it, all of his tears were retaliatory, meaning he fired a small barrage of 1-3 tears for every individual attack you hit him with. This meant that you could pretty much never kill him with a low damage, high fire rate build unless you had so many hearts that you could tank like 15 full hearts of damage. This was back when every floor beyond the depths made you take a full heart of damage form every damage source unless you had the wafer, mind.

Cuntpunch posted:Well that's an interesting bug: Technology 2 is a weak, constant laser that fires in addition to your normal tears, Tech 1 replaces them. In the original game, Tech 2 was a bad item as Cain because it covers the eye the Cain fires all of his tears out of, so instead of a weak laser and slightly weaker than normal tears, you just got a weak laser. Is that still a thing? Pwnstar posted:This is not me being a smug goonlord but is the Purist challenge supposed to be hard? Its just a normal run without treasure rooms right? I thought it was pretty easy compared to some of the poo poo I went through in the blindfold challenges. Maybe its all RNG tho~ Well, the Purist challenge calls upon the same skills that the normal game does, whereas the gimmicky ones like Cat Got Your Tongue require you to learn a skill that you may not be familiar with like getting close to enemies without touching them. Two different beasts.

It would be nice if there were something you could do to force one or the otehr to drop. Like, Book of Revelations for Meat Cube and Satanic Bible for Bandage Ball. Say, does the Book of Revelations still force the floor you're on to have a horseman?

Just be careful not to do that on a challenge run that ends in womb 2.

I'm a little annoyed by the fact that the only button you can press to skip the boss splash screen on a controller also causes you to shoot down. Meaning that you have to watch it every time during the suicide king challenge.PantsBandit posted:Can someone explain to me why it is that my build will sometimes just randomly change? Like one second I'm walking through a room and then suddenly I have like 5 new familiars and I'm shooting lasers and have monstros lung that shoots exploding shots. I mean, I"m not complaining. I killed mom's heart in like half a second (BUT NO loving SATAN ROOOOOM) but it's very weird. Does that room happen to have a giant picture of a 6 sided die on the floor?

Is it even possible to get max luck? I can only think of a few items that bring it up, and they don't do much. The Lucky Foot doesn't even bring you up to two bars. The only way I can think of is with fire + habit + pill bottle + pyromaniac + 99 bombs shenanigans.

Sokani posted:I used to think that dead cat was a pretty stupid item because if I'm down to one heart I'm not gonna accomplish anything anyway. Then I beat the Cathedral on my ~6th life. Something was causing me to drop black hearts on some of my deaths and they built up enough that I could beat Isaac. Hooray for dead cats! Monkey's Paw, at a guess. Drops a black heart when you dip below one red heart disappears after 3 triggers.

AnonSpore posted:Both, and 200+ deaths and at least five times as many resets. What's your reset strategy? I've been resetting if the first floor had a curse of darkness and if the first item room had a useless item. It doesn't have to be a great item, but if it's an HP up, on-hit effect, or item that hurts you when you use it, I just cut that run off immediately. Krinkle posted:I uhhhh. Wow. In the original game I never beat satan, ever. And I hadn't even tried here. But I get to mom's womb and there's a heaven gate. I ascended a beam of light, something I did not know could happen (was that possible pre wrath of the lamb?) There were angels and ghosts and after about fifteen bosses I beat heaven? Is that harder or easier than satan? I didn't get hit by the final boss once but I'm pretty sure I'd have gotten stomped to poo poo by giant goat hooves if I had gone the other way. That's confusing. The Cathedral certainly doesn't involve any giant goat hooves. Was the place you were in blue and white, or black? If it was black, that was Sheol and you did beat Satan. Congrats! Satan was easier in the first game, but is harder in this one. Anyway, once you've beaten Mom's Heart enough times you will always get an entrance to Sheol and an entrance to the Cathedral. It's possible you walked into the beam of light so fast that your momentum caused you to slide right into the trapdoor.

Ashsaber posted:So what are people's thoughts on Azazel? I personally think he's my new favorite character, replacing Cain since Luck Foot was nerfed. My first Azazel Run to actually go anywhere was pretty hilarious though, ended up fighting Issac, and because I had been killing things so fast and using Guppy's Head constantly I went into the fight with like ~25 flies and 5 spiders, who killed Issac before I could even charge my shot. Brimstone is great as always and flight is handy, but I dislike Azazel for how many items don't really affect him. Proptosis doesn't do anything, triple shot has little effect because of the low range, spoon bender is the same. Ouija Board, Cupid's Arrow, Spirit of the Night, Lord of the Pit. The end result is that every Azazel run shakes out about the same way, either you win with the super good laser or you get the tiny planet/tammy's head and you really win with the super good laser. Genocyber posted:Oh drat, I thought if I gave up Guppy's Paw I would lose Guppy form since I would no longer have three Guppy items. Nice to know I don't have to hang on to it. You will also attain Guppy form if you have one passive Guppy item and switch between the Paw and the Head.

How do you deal with the Haunt as the Lost? I haven't beaten them yet except for when I got technology to take potshots at the big guy form the bottom of the screen. If you stand right in front of him he hits you with the spread shot and if you stand to the side of him he charges into you.

AnonSpore posted:I'm definitely getting addicted to angel rooms now that the Lost's unlocks are in them, especially with Isaac where you can reroll the key to another item for a guaranteed one and chance at two great items. I got the goat head on floor one and actually completed the body/mind/soul+godhead combo together with the 20/20s and a bunch of other sick upgrades, then rolled dad's key with my last d6 roll on the chest. So I got to take on Mega Satan, and the aura from the godhead tears alone killed everything before it managed to attack even once. In a run like that, I recommend going and defeating the boss of that floor before megasatan, just because you can.
