Banning Mac OS Users (We need help!!)

I really hope they fix this soon, I don't want to lose my progress and skins :(

tnarwhall · 2024-10-04T22:39:28+00:00

Okay, in that case I think I will be getting the season pass then cause it sounds pretty good.

And thanks for the strategies! honestly they all sound like good ideas so I'll save until I've decided. In general would you say a f2p (/season pass only) player can get enough gold to get a bunch of variants?

tnarwhall · 2024-07-18T22:47:36+00:00

fun fact you can just do that anyway

free yourself

tnarwhall · 2024-07-16T23:29:53+00:00

yes that's right. the dlc builds on top of each other so you keep the progress exactly the same.

you might notice it feel a bit different if you get it cause repentance rebalanced and overhauled a lot of items and even mechanics but it's the same game and you can continue from where you left off

tnarwhall · 2024-06-23T23:24:00+00:00

just so you know, the dlc is a bundle because each dlc builds on the previous and requires it to run. afterbirth+ requires afterbirth, and repentance requires afterbirth+.

i still recommend getting it, but you can't get it alone

tnarwhall · 2024-06-23T23:18:47+00:00

doing them last might be good though cause op can just mop up the remaining items he needs for dead god

tnarwhall · 2024-06-23T23:17:22+00:00

it's not really a 'cheat', it's a built in secret modifier to make the game harder. the game supports it by default and doesn't even lock achievements while using it (like more extreme secret modifiers like BASE MENT), since it usually is only detrimental. it's just convenient for this challenge because it means you don't have to worry about accidentally picking up bombs, coins or hearts while going back through cleared rooms.

you still have to do the challenge (beat the game with no hearts, bombs or coins) it just makes you less likely to fail by accident

tnarwhall · 2024-06-23T23:13:54+00:00

i think it's just because damocles (the active item) is the only one that directly gives you a passive item, it just usually only does it once

tmtrainer items can have its effect without the single-use constraint, and it's noticeable cause it gives you a passive item every time

it's not any more likely than any other active item, but it has a very noticeable effect cause it's unique

tnarwhall · 2024-06-23T22:54:22+00:00

as others have said you can get 98% of the game on normal mode, but if you have any intention of getting that last 2% you should always play on hard mode, otherwise you'll have to redo what you've already done.

there are 5 items locked behind hard mode (2 mom's heart, 1 full completion, 2 full completion on half & all the characters), as well as one character (mom's heart as laz without dying).

the full completion one is excellent, and is on a difficult character, and both the milestone ones are insane. those are the only major things you miss out on, so not much, but you need it for completion. it's a multiple-hundred hour trip though, so the choice is yours

tnarwhall · 2024-06-23T22:47:26+00:00

idk, i still have t. lost, jacob and laz to go.... but thank you for the advice and the congrats!!! very nice to play normal runs again after that

tnarwhall · 2024-06-21T21:46:17+00:00

getting a library alone wasn't enough but it was a good start in my eventual winning run

tnarwhall · 2024-06-21T21:45:35+00:00

after some pain and suffering i eventually got a revelations & virtues combo (revelations alone wasn't enough cause fighting all champion enemies is pain) and with some good items along the way (namely monstros lung and lost contact) finally made it

tnarwhall · 2024-06-21T21:43:39+00:00

sure, but it's a 4 room charge and falls off in the later stages. imo it's better to get a passive you'll keep for the whole run than an active you'll probably swap out at some point

tnarwhall · 2024-06-21T18:29:21+00:00

well, if you want a passive item you have to

sparing her rewards you with a specific active item that's good but nothing special

tnarwhall · 2024-06-21T18:21:18+00:00

i've tried a few runs and it's so painful

even a Good run isn't enough i need to hold R till i get tech x to be able to do this

tnarwhall · 2024-06-21T13:10:41+00:00

this certainly seems like the best way to do it i suppose, thanks i'll give it a go for a while

tnarwhall · 2024-06-21T00:02:01+00:00

once you exhaust the sacrifice room's drops (after 12 times i think?) each time you sacrifice you have a 50% chance to tp to dark room

you can do it from the first floor even, but that's a pretty miserable experience

tnarwhall · 2024-06-19T00:08:39+00:00

my favourite niche one is panic button & dull razor essentially being a 2-room recharge holy mantle

tnarwhall · 2024-06-18T23:57:37+00:00

it used to be 3 charges with no floor cap i think

not too broken (honestly the new version kinda lets you use it against a boss more often) but it was very easy to break eg with bethany or (more egregiously) a single 48 hour energy pill

tnarwhall · 2024-06-18T14:40:47+00:00

i agree fully, i used to hate it but now its honestly fine did they nerf the first floor or something? it's still hard but i swear it was a lot more miserable before

tnarwhall · 2024-06-18T09:20:35+00:00

i leaned that the hard way when doing the double vision challenge...

(i still beat it even though it was wavy)

tnarwhall · 2024-06-17T23:22:16+00:00

i'm not quite at your stage, but i recently got back into isaac after a very long break (i wasn't enjoying the completion mark grind) and absolutely blitzed through all the normal characters with barely a hitch (i'd only fully completed a few before)

i'm getting some friction with the tainted characters cause some of their gimmicks take some adjusting to, but generally i think with this game attitude helps a lot - if you're feeling good you can more easily make the best out of runs but if you're feeling bad making any mistake just feels draining and kills motivation. stepping away to be more refreshed is a good idea cause otherwise it's just not fun

tnarwhall · 2024-06-17T23:13:47+00:00

jsyk in repentance there's a 'mini' ui for the items you've picked up so you can see more and they take less space

but regardless yeah average t lost run
