hey guys, what are your thoughts on whether or not i should start a new file for the expansion

I didn't start a new file and I've been getting boatloads of new items. I wouldn't bother.

e: it feels like an entirely new game even if I'm playing on a RPG file, is what I'm saying.

do you guys think it would be more fun if I started a new file to go along with the expansion?

there's enough content added with this that it wont matter. it'll still be the same kind of fresh BoI experience where you don't know a good chunk of the enemies you're going up against or have any idea as to what the items you're picking up will do.

Well the Speed! challenge actually makes the butterbean item useful if it's your first item, otherwise some rooms you can't keep ahead of anything.

Yeah I'm definitely going through my Real Platinum God file first, I tuned into CobaltStreak's stream just as he started fighting Hush and I'm excited for the new bosses.

Per day you mean? Yes, that's the point of a daily run. You get limited shots at it and a new one happens every day.

You can still 'practice' it though, to see how far you'd get if you didn't die, or to see how different things could be with dice or devil deals or whatever.

Turns out getting a portable blood donation machine + fanny pack + patience (or the new pay to win item) eventually leads to you being able to buy things indefinitely.

After It Lives in the Scarred Womb II there's a new room, don't enter it because it'll crash your game for some reason.
I got the room I think you're talking about, but it was Mom's Heart still and not Scarred Womb. I think it may be for reaching there fast enough like boss rush?

Anyways it didn't crash for me, it's a new(secret?) boss fight:

I started up Greed mode as Azazel, got Polyphemous and then Steam Sale. And then three Guppy items in a row, followed by Triple Shot, and every spider and fly item except for Hive Mind. And I still felt like the final boss of Greed mode took forever.

Tractor beam? I think that makes your tears fly towards the beam of light that shines out of Isaac. Doesn't seem too useful.

Well just cleared the daily, currently sitting at 61th with 18431 points, and wondering how in the hell someone got almost 33k points for first place.

Well I was the one at the top of the leaderboard when you said that. I took my time and was super thorough with getting all the consumables and exploring all the rooms I could. I also ended up getting a blank card and the rune of passage (forget the exact name), so I was able to get to Satan.

No clue how the current leader got almost twice my score, though.

Some of these new challenges are absurd. I have no idea how you're supposed to beat The Guardian without some absolutely amazing luck with room setups.

Don't pick up 20/20 or triple shot or quad in the onan's streak challenge. You take damage if either of those misses :p

I'm actually really glad they have as much HP as they do because it means that having really high damage means something and having decent luck doesn't mean you roll over every boss in the game

2nd try at hush, was close but worked out because I actually had damage this time

Did you ever consider that maybe it's not actually a bug that certain completion events haven't 'taken' maybe because there might be something new there?

Wait daily challenges natural progression just ends at Mom's foot (barring items or whatever)? That is so incredibly lame, it's almost unbelievable to me they would poo poo on daily challenges so hard. What the hell is the point of that? That's so stupid.

The XXXXXXXL challenge took for-loving-ever. Used the cheap orbitals + that invincible statue item for a few tougher things at the end. Found a few neat and a few enigmatic items.

Nightlight! Very cool. Beam of light in the direction your body is facing which slows enemies/shots in its path. Holding it onto an enemy for longer seemed to increase the time they were slowed if you moved it away. Maybe 45 degrees wide? Not overpowered whilst still being pretty useful. Had it for pretty much the entire of the challenge.

An item just called CHAOS, description: !!! (No idea what this did)

Jar of flies, which I think both gradually recharged and also whenever I killed anything. Could hold 20 flies to be dumped out at once.

A trinket which causes all the crossed rocks to shine occasionally.

Prize bombs, which were big and pink. I'm not 100% what they did. Maybe caused things to drop coins or sometimes applied the charm effect to things it didn't kill? Had a lot of clashing effects by now.

Stud finder, no clue what it did whilst I had it.

The only problem is by the end of it I had no idea what items were doing what, I was getting doubled pickups, doubled effects from pickups, double choices in treasure rooms.

The weirdest thing was a purple knife which just trailed behind me, couldn't aim or fire it. No clue when I picked it up either.
