Almost none of the rooms have unavoidable damage. For instance the one you posted can be cleared by standing in the south east corner and shooting one of the barrels in the north east corner.

if you enter the room from the top or bottom

If you come in from the top or bottom and there's a troll bomb or an exploding barrel, you won't have time to get to one of the sides before the barrels across from the top/bottom doors explode.

The room in the picture doesn't spawn with bombs in it as far as I know though? There's certainly no bomb in that screenshot.

I don't think this room can spawn a random troll bomb upon entering.

Also, that oddly colored barrel can be pushed around.

You can get through that room without being hit.

All of those barrel trap rooms seem to have a chance of spawning a troll bomb in the center, otherwise 'random' troll bombs don't spawn until you clear the room.

It absolutely can spawn a troll bomb upon entering. I have seen that exact layout with a troll bomb many, many times.

My last attempt of Brains I picked the wrong path and it ended at the wrong boss. I got some nice combos on my explosions, but I couldn't tell which symbols are which. I still haven't tried it. I did just finish Onan' Streak or whatever it's called. That one was a pain in the rear end for me. But nothing will be my bane like Speed will be.

I think I'm mostly done with BoI for the time being - I have the Lost and Keeper left on my Co-op file, plus Pay To Play challenge. None of those are very suited for Co-op

Decided to play the original isaac last night, got nine lives, guppy's paw, tears up and damage up on the first floor plus a shitload of soul hearts, excited for a fun run

Pause to scratch my nose, hit escape to go back to the game. "Do you want me to die?" Pops up with an underline under the "no" and of course i dont want to quit so i hit enter and it takes me back to the menu with a "game over"

Oh right thats why i dont play the original isaac anymore

Huh, that's lovely. The game can generate boss rooms that have no valid wall for a devil deal to spawn on. The one in particular I'm thinking of is a narrow room with two gurdlings and the far wall from the entrance is blocked off by a gap in the floor, but I know there's others.

I'm excited for this mod-friendly expansion to come out because Rebirth/Afterbirth have so much more potential than Nicalis has used.

I think I've seen a mod on moddingofisaac that purported to fix all the rooms with bad layouts/spawns/etc like that, but I didn't look too much into it. Anyone also see it and have thoughts?

So I'm pretty early in the game. I think I'm in the mid teens and my pawn as well. I got to Gran Soren and switched from striker to assassin and the mage pawn to sorc. Now I feel like I'm hitting things with pool noodles and I had to trade in the high level sorc pawn I summoned for a healer. Did I hose myself and make it so I need to grind a bunch of goblins and stuff to be effective? Also, kinda thinking of switching to a sorc myself because the one I hired was level 52 and summoned a big rear end tornado and poo poo. Or should I not be switching so carelessly?

I can take some screens later tonight to get some accurate stats, but I just feel like I'm not really doing any damage and just waiting for the high level sorc and warrior to take out anything over a goblin or light bandit.

And yes I've been upgrading equipment at least once or twice.

This isn't the Dragon's dogma thread.

Anyway, don't worry about class changing in Dragon's Dogma. It's not a big deal and you aren't going to gimp yourself.

So after 1001% the game I've been doing the daily runs going for fast times and uh...people are cheating, right? The other day I had a blank card/emperor combo and blasted thru insanely quickly and still came in like, 53rd. I don't really play much online stuff but I assume people just hack for better times for some reason and it's kind of lame.

Totally. Use GreedButt instead of the in-game leaderboard, it filters out (most) of the cheaters.

Other people also get the blank card/emperor combo you know. People are cheating, but you can get this result without that

Yeah, there are a lot of people getting impossible scores that are obviously impossible just so the legit players can't come in first. If you're in the double digits, you did really well! Highest I think I've ever seen a legit player place on a daily was like twenty second, and the guy above him had like 10+ times the points as he.

I've been getting loads of great time ranks lately, while my score rank is not quite so great. Which leads me to think most people don't really go for speeding through the daily challenges as fast as possible, but rather explore and collect everything they can.

Still, it's nice that there are two different approaches.

The daily run doesn't count mods, basically. I've got a few mods loaded up (better room layouts, more item room choice and so forth) and the daily run will include them. It's why I stopped doing the daily run because it didn't seem fair.

So, today's daily went really well.

Walked into the treasure room at the start when my phone rang, paused the game, accidentally pressed exit game. Ended up with a whopping score of 600 or so.

Why can't there be a prompt for exiting the challenge?
