Note that the voting for the must-have item combinations for Rebirth went up: http://www.reddit.com/r/bindingofisaac/comments/2vqzuc/must_have_rebirth_item_combos/

I cross-posted the cursed eye + black candle idea that was posted in here (since it's a REALLY good idea) and it ended up near the top :toot:

Nope, it's the blue one!

I love that mod. Doesn't even disable achievements.

Thanks for the tip, though. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Speaking of, are there any other recommended/good mods out there that don't disable achievements?

I feel like the 'reduce chance of special item appearing' effect really should occur only if you pick up the item. The current system is... Less than intuitive.

I don't know, I'd hate to see an item I don't want, pass it up, and then see it again next floor because I didn't bother touching it.

Am I the only one who's pretty much over this game after constantly getting lovely drops? I've filled out the post its for every character on hard mode but it just isn't fun when all I ever get are anarchists cookbook, pjs, guppy's paw, etc, everything but damage upgrades so every room is a slog

I get that it's RNG but holy poo poo does it need some balancing if I'm gonna keep playing it.

Call me crazy but I think it's pretty normal to get some burnout after playing a game a shitton

I don't even know what the lost is but I guess I'll watch out for that poster.

I've only recently started wikiing trinkets though. It's kind of fun having no idea whats going on the first few playthroughs but I've beaten greed and hardmode each with isaac and cain a few times so I guess I should start looking for ways to get new stuff.

The Lost is a super secret super hard challenge mode character that dies in one hit, meant to be hidden for months but got discovered pretty quickly after release. If you get the opportunity you should unlock him because the missing poster is fairly rare, but definitely no need to prioritize him.

Did they accidentally make Godhead not a special item or anything? I keep seeing that thing in my Keeper runs. :psyduck: And it's carried me through victory a lot. I managed to clear out Boss Rush, Hush, the Chest, and Mega Satan all at once thanks to an early Godhead I found. And then I found the Swallowed Penny and the run was won at that point. I found it again on my next run thanks to Chaos, except I had Mom's Knife at that point, so I couldn't get the halo tears. I died to Teratoma in Sheol. :negative:

I feel like Keeper has a different set of item pools.

The original save import function was really bugged (at least one person reported having completion marks for the Keeper as soon as they unlocked him). I don't know if they ever actually fixed it, to be honest.

They fixed it like a day after release (if even that long) but you had to re-import your save because it couldn't get retroactively fixed, so people who kept playing a ton without reimporting are kinda hosed over

I haven't played in ages and I've completely lost track of stuff that I still have to do, is there an easy way to like plug my save file into something and get a readout of what to work towards? Going back and forth between the stickies and the unlock page in the game seems to be a pain.

Also, anyone try this out and know how well it actually works out? https://moddingofisaac.com/mod/1375/skymod-afterbirth

So is there any compelling reason to not immediately refund AB+

if you like the game you'll end up rebuying it anyway in the future after the rebalances and bugfixes roll out + the monthly booster pack content releases start and you'll be paying three bucks more for the expansion then

Somehow I feel like out-of-context discord messages might not be wholly representative of any sort of truth or official statement, especially when Edmund had specifically reached out to that team to make sure they could make antibirth end up being implemented into ab+

I imagine the issue is that they can't just do a straight-up port of Antibirth to AB+, as it doesn't even support regular afterbirth as far as I'm aware.

One thing I find interesting is how the dlc has taken a complete nose dive in reviews as time goes on. On release it was at 90% or so and last I checked 56% or so today. Compared to each other release that is in 90s I'd say this has been a complete train wreak

If you think this is a train wreak you've never been around anything slightly controversial on steam at its release, user reviews always get swamped

I'd say the crappy user reviews are just another example to throw on the pile of how poorly the expansion has been received. If it was just crappy steam reviews alone, sure, but there are many more outlets calling it disappointing.

Oh I'm definitely not saying it's a good launch, just saying that steam user reviews are just a minor step above metacritic user reviews in how much thought you should actually give to them

I think he makes a good point; how are you supposed to make interesting mods that add interesting stuff if you're gonna disable progress? How would a big mod such as Antibirth even work if you're unable to save?

I think people are conflating a few different forms of 'can't progress' and it'd probably be helpful if someone figured out exactly what can't be done -

Be fair now, that's not Nicalis patting themselves on the back, it's a jab at Nintendo's abandoned Seal of Quality, closely matching the original logo and text that was included with every game back in the day when they were terrified of third-party cartridge manufacturers.

The booklet is a page by page exact takeoff of the one for the original Zelda down to replicating printing errors found on some of the pages.

hey, if you have mods on and defeat a challenge, do you unlock the thing for beating the challenge? I know challenges don't count for achievements in general so the crossed-out trophy symbol is on the hud anyway, but I wouldn't want to go all the way through a challenge and get nothing just because I have item descriptions on

edit: beat the easiest challenge on a new file and unlocked the thing so yep you still get it
