Super No Vacancy posted:why would you play a twin stick shooter with a keyboard I play with a controller but I've always used the face buttons to shoot unless I pick up Epic Fetus or some other cursor based item. An analog stick is much nicer than WASD for movement but (outside of certain exceptions) using an analog stick to shoot fucks me up when you can only shoot in the cardinal directions

I want the mod that gets rid of time limits for Boss Rush/Hush because it’s annoying and always seems to come down to me being a second late beating Mom because I managed to visit every single room on the floor before finding the boss door

A warning for anyone that's unlocked it, the Emperor? card can brick your run if you don't have a way to teleport. If the boss it chooses for you to fight is mom's foot, it doesn't open a door back to the normal floor after, so you're just stuck until you hold R.

Did the first item room have Mom's Knife/Tech X/whatever other OP item that can carry the entire run? Did the game decide to not spawn the same exact lovely troll room full of bullshit enemies multiple times in a row? Did the game decide to give Depths 2 a normal layout and not make it all large rooms? Etc.Also throw Always Void on the pile since that's, AFAIK, still just random chance whether or not you get to go there outside of killing Hush. At least you can directly influence Mega Satan and getting to him is actually easier now due to the angel deal change. (I'd still probably use Always Mega Satan anyway.)

In general, stay away from that card if your run is good because outside of that one, you can also accidentally lock yourself to the alt path by using it on Gehenna/Mausoleum II. All the new reverse arcana cards seems to either win my runs with ultra secret rooms and powerful effects or completely horsefuck them to death with weird teleports, item loss and broken hearts.

I like the timed gates, they're the only thing in the game that discourage you from spending a tonne of time backtracking and messing around every floor. I liked the contrast between super grindy Mega Satan runs (where you were often trying to work out Sacrifice Rooms) and the quicker Hush/Delirium ones. That said while it was almost always possible to hit them in AB+ it may be that Rep has slowed the game down enough to make the current timings too hard.

Super No Vacancy posted:why would you play a twin stick shooter with a keyboard The game feels like it was designed with the 4 direction precision you get from discrete buttons in mind. Even on Switch I used the face buttons and d-pad rather than the sticks. It's not like you can shoot in 360 degrees anyway.

Had a strong keeper run going yesterday that I ruined by using self sacrifice rooms and teleporting myself to Dark Room. I had misread that wasn't supposed to happen anymore but apparently only the daily runs disabled that. drat it!! Self sacrifice rooms are very strong as keeper though!

For the record, if you get Mom's Knife with the Mom's Lock trinket for the Dogma fight it does not persist into the Beast fight.watho posted:because mega satan gives an absurd amount of points so the teleport just kinda completely breaks the leaderboard Seems like reducing the amount of points Mega Satan gives would be the better solution.

TOOT BOOT posted:Just Isaac because I don't think I had anyone else unlocked except Lazarus. I had several familiars that made the Mom fight relatively easy. The first time I got to Mom I had a half a heart of health remaining and got stomped pretty much as soon as the fight started so that was a little anticlimactic. That rules, I still remember where and when I was when I beat Mom for the first time in the original flash isaac like a decade ago lol. I remember being so surprised that there was MORE and now, uh, there's a whole lot more

I feel like shops are in a much better place after the Repentance tweak to where they're always unlocked on the first floor. It used to almost never be worth a key, but now I can always check them out, and sometimes there's an item on sale I can afford, or I have a few bombs and I can get to 15 coins between the donation machine and special shopkeepers, or whatever. Felt like a waste almost 99% of the time to even open the shop on floor 1 previously.

John Murdoch posted:Oh, lmao, as long as it's the killing blow you can use the eraser on Demon Esau. It's pretty drat hard to hit it, since you only get one shot with the Eraser and it only does 15 damage which HAS to be the killing blow, and Dark Esau is bizarrely immune to Spider Mod so you can't even use THAT. A much easier trick to defeat that bastard is that if you chop him up with the Meat Cleaver the split clones will die while not turning T.Jacob into his Bad Lost form. It does require you to keep using the Cleaver in each new floor though, so there's that issue. Infinity Gaia fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Apr 27, 2021 |

The Moon Monster posted:For the record, if you get Mom's Knife with the Mom's Lock trinket for the Dogma fight it does not persist into the Beast fight. Ok as someone who soent like a year playing dailies and even got a couple top 10s; Its not mega satan its the lamb. The mega satan door simply didnt spawn in dailies where he wasnt the goal. Second, its because its once again rng gamble bullshit. The strat was get to get as far as you could in the daily, as close as you can to the goal, and pray you get a sac room. Think of how bullshit it is to have to gamble on that. Scenario 1: I decided to not teleport out after beating boss rush to get to depths 2 sac room and instead continue into womb, hoping to find a sac room somewhere. Theres none. A dude who gambled correctly and teleported out and sacd to dark room in d2 blows my hole because of the lamb bonus + exploration bonus. Scenario 2: i teleport out fearing not getting a sac room in womb. A dude decides to push through and finds one. The extra exploration bonus and schwag bringing him over my score because he blindly guessed correctly. This also happens when the daily runs go to satan or isaac, where the score is decided on whether you chose the right moment to sac room. This also requires that on dailies that end early you find floor skips like ewhaz or shovel and carry them aaalll the way till sheol, which is a bit annoying. Early 5 rooms are fine cause if you get too greedy you can miss boss rush which is a huge points boost.

Therd also the possibility that in a moms foot daily, you might not get sac room in depths 2!!! Do i sac now on d1? But i miss out on boss rush and maybe theres a sac room on d2!! Who knows?? Do i risk it now?? Etc That said isaac scorinf dailies are busted and most of the really good scores come from breaking the store or smth which i never did cause i dont know exactly how to do it + its long tedious and boring

I never really cared that much about the score, it's extremely rng based whether you remove this strategy or not, but it's a shame that they're removing a powerful and interesting strategy for progressing through the game. It just seems like a case of making the game worse to cater to a handful of people.

Empress? Card is bugged as Keeper. When it expires it knocks your health down to one permanently. That's what happened to me anyway who knows if there was some weird chain of events I did to make that happen. But I still won the true ending run!! I battled my way back and recovered my HP. Thanks to The Stairway as an Eden's Blessing gift!!  Got me the Sacred Heart+Brimstone+Holy Light combo of death and murder.

Fursonally it makes the whole process of dailies less of a guessing game than it already is, which in turn makes it less bad (but isaac for score despite how much ive played is practically impossible to properly balance and i wouldnt call it good), and i imagine this is something we wont ever see eye to eye on. It does not impact regular game which is what 90% of ppl play so i dont really mind.

Picking up Esau Jr as Esau is hilariously bugged. You can no longer see Jacob’s active items, pills, health, or trinkets, but you’ll use them whenever you try to use anything with Esau. Also, you can still survive as Esau if Jacob does.
