No matter how many runs I ruin with them, I keep picking up most of those items, because they're fun. (I can never remember which Zodiac symbol is Libra, though, so I nearly always pick that up to my disadvantage.)

Not sure how to feel about that. Speaking of Homestuck, this mod gives the Zodiac symbols unique colors, so they're a bit easier to differentiate.    The two m-shaped ones are what made me install it. gently caress the lazy Babylonian hack who designed them. ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Feb 23, 2015 |

CD23 PSXA. Quite powerful as Isaac, but notable because of the THREE Forget Me Now dice rooms (including two in succession for the same floor) as well as an actual Forget Me Now in the Chest.

I'll take a mod that takes the items The Lost can't use out of his item pool. If that exists, it'll be the first one I try, and the only way I will try to get The Lost cleared.

Conquest spawns way too much, that was the 5th or 6th time I've had a stage 3 bandage girl only to get hosed by Conquest. I guess it's time to cheese the poo poo out of it with wafer/sharp plug, something I've tried to avoid. I hope the DLC doesn't have stupid achievements that need to be cheesed to get... At least I finally picked up A Dollar during that run.

I'm torn every time I see a Technology item. I love the idea of them but they are so woefully underpowered they are usually a death sentence unless you get triple or quad shot as well. Was Tech really bad in the original as well? I seem to remember it being better, but could well be wrong. Dr Fetus is the same. I should enjoy it, but the damage starting out is terrible. Two shots to kill a spider or something? Urgh. Been enjoying some Eve runs lately. I mean, I had to reset a few that had truly poor starting gear but others have been a lot of fun. D20 starts are amusing just to try and maximise the number of drops in one room. I got the item that makes rocks give coins when exploded and just went nuts. D4/D100 runs are tricky, in that you just want to roll it again and hope to get a slightly better build, and then end up with a lovely Tech laser or just one of those swinging mace-like weapons, Still, makes you try different play styles. Another run, though, started me with a slow as hell egg-shaped Ludovido tear that had 2 smaller ones on either side. Most monsters easily outran it so I was boned.

Tech 1 seems bad because of its terrible hitbox. Tech 2 is just bad with its huge damage down. Tech 0.5 is the only good one I feel.

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.

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.

Anyone have a seed or some advice for unlocking Mom's Contacts? It's the last item/secret I need before Real Platinum God (PS4) and I've been trying all drat day. I've got mom's eye in basement I treasure room and mom's heels from the first boss and nothing shows up. I've tried other combinations to no avail. I've even had mom's eye and purchased mom's pills, still nothing. It's the last thing I need and I'm very eager to finish it up.

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.

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 |

The problem with the techs is that their hitboxes are all sorts of hosed up. If you back up against a rock your laser will be blocked by the rock behind you, and it's nearly impossible to hit the wall spiders easily. Also the beam doesn't get wider with more damage like in flash Isaac, which is lame.

Did curse of the maze always moved rooms around as well as teleporting you to a random room or it just the recent patch that added this? I had a Cain run today where a blood bank room moved to another location in the same map, and it completely screwed my orientation (for a few seconds anyway). I think it happened in another floor as well, but I can't remember what room shifted.
