Magres posted:Eve owns yo. Just trade away your heart containers so you max at one heart and then crush the world with your like +3 damage and speed from Whore of Babylon. Seriously that item is so strong. It's like playing Judas except with significantly better stats in exchange for Book of Belial. Eve is legit one of my favorite characters, just get her down to one or zero max health and play her like you'd play Blue. Yeah, this. She's a little dicey for the first couple floors, but make a couple smart trades with the Devil and you're in business. She plays like a hybrid of ??? and Samson, but better than both because she has hearts to trade unlike ??? and she doesn't reset every floor like Samson does. Speaking of the Devil, I feel like I'm not seeing The Pact or The Pentagram in devil rooms as much as I used to. Those used to be my go-to bargains in the old game.

So, would I VAC ban myself by using steam achievement manager to activate The Lost and the alt+f2 to import it to BOI?

Out of curiosity, what are the odds for a double skeleton key drop?

Uh holy poo poo, I half-heartedly hit "sync" on the Vita and ... it magically worked!!! My original save appears to be back. Still getting an "unknown error" on PS4, unfortunately.

I did it just to debunk people on Reddit, which is worth the risk. I don't think using SAM on indie games with no multiplayer is a super high risk target for VAC bans but I'm not the most educated on the subject.

I don't think anyone's ever gotten VAC banned for using SAM, but the risk is still there.

How did you get Death's Scythe? In a red chest? Also, did you previously unlock it?

So does Libra randomly "balance" attributes or was it taking everything to 1 point on my Azazel run somehow my fault?Read posted:How did you get Death's Scythe? In a red chest? Also, did you previously unlock it? I did previously unlock it, it's in a devil room pretty early along (maybe 2nd/3rd floor?) with a Goat's Head. I already had Holy Mantle at that point so I used 3/4 of my red hearts (2 for scythe, 1 for goat head) there.

Azazel is the sickest dude to play as if you can pass the first few levels without taking that much damage I did a run today where my first item was the one that lets you control tears and it turned my beam to a giant circle of death

VAC is on a per-game basis and only applies to multiplayer games. You will not get vac banned from a single-player game because that doesn't make any sense. SAM isn't a thing that would even earn you a VAC ban from even multiplayer games. I find the big warning at the header of the reddit post hilarious, people still haven't twigged how VAC bans work?

Potentially Massive Spoiler Okay, it turns out that the puzzle pieces are likely a part of a death screen. Which has an enemy to die to, and presumably specific items at the time. We don't know if this is what's going on, but it seems likely that you have to die to a specific enemy while holding specific items. Here's an imgur link to the most recent attempts at figuring out the currently known puzzle pieces: http://imgur.com/Mqr0oS9 I personally think it would be really cool if every player had a unique item/enemy death combination needed.

God drat, just fought The Lamb for the first time. That fucker's mean! It was an Azazel run that completely fell apart in Utero 2 and never got better. I finished Satan with about 4 hearts, and the chests in the new zone gave me nothing but a Dead Cat... which I had to take after picking a few incorrect routes and getting down to half a heart. Had Tammy's Head and was going to use it on the boss when he gets to half health and splits in two but he used one of his attacks right after that. Didn't think he could do that! With only one heart and about six lives left, there was no way. That area's nuts. I ran into a big room that had like three Super Wraths and about a half dozen regular ones! That's way worse than the Chest! Dead Boy will be easier on The Chest, for sure, unless they've made drastic changes to it. Even with any changes he has, I doubt ??? is tougher than the new guy.

It used to ban you for unlocking stuff in TF2, but that was a long time ago and I've never heard since of anyone getting banned.

I think McMillen probably wants The Lost to be a really difficult and mysterious unlock that forces the community to work together at first. Once people have worked it out he'll probably patch it to make it easier like he did with The Chest.Kaboom Dragoon posted:Anyone else find Dingle to be an early run-killer?

I'm going to stop with the spoiler tags, because it doesn't seem like anyone cares. The current death poster mockup seems to say that you need to die as Maggy. No clue on items or cause of death yet, people think it might be a deal with the devil. EDIT: oh boy, someone on steam seems to have gotten judas' name instead of Maggy's. Which means either it's diferent for each person, whether from a set pool or completely random, the character you die as doesn't matter, or there are specific characters you can use. Or that there are alternate ways of doing it with different characters and you'll need to get like 500 puzzle pieces just to fill out all the death screen mockups.

I don't think it even banned you for that, think it just screwed you out of the Cheater's Lament item, made specifically to reward those who didn't cheat for their unlocks. as far as I know nobody has ever actually been banned over SAM, I'm pretty sure VAC has bigger fish to fry than achievement fraud.

I think some people on reddit found assembly code or something that can help them figure out how to unpack them but this is all way out of my league so I guess I'm sitting this one out. Not that I really care, I am enjoying the poo poo out of just playing this game.
