I had 50 coins and entered a pit room with narrow paths and greed heads everywhere, I left with 3 coins. Now when they patched it I have no way to update my game, crap :v: Greed inspired enemies can go fuck themselves.
I just got my first Satan kill ever! Mom's knife, here I come!
I keep getting Famine in the basement. Either him or steven without fail. Anyone else getting this?
[QUOTE=BoxinShrimp;36807358][b]-Greed + greed heads no longer take coins when touching them while invincible.[/b] [/quote] Good fucking riddance. [quote]-Bum friend bug fixed [/quote] I hope that also fixes the bugs with other familiars like Holy Water screwing with the rest of the familiars [quote] -bobs rotten head luck removed [/quote] That luck had better go to the Lucky Foot/Toe like it should have been in the first place. For those who didn't know -- Playing a Fortune Teller Machine originally checked to see if Bob's Rotten Head has been collected that run instead of the Luck items. In having the item picked up, the machine would pay out every single time, making the Polaroid come much faster. Cain would have had that by default -- making him the best character for getting the trinkets you want, but unfortunately somehow the item IDs for Bob's Rotten Head and Lucky Foot somehow got mixed up and the effects were swapped -- I'm assuming it was just an off-by-one error, which is relatively common in programming and is annoying to catch unless you have some crazy people who check everything for you.
The Duke of flies is so annoying.
Is it just me, or is the black flying dude (forgot his name) incredibly hard compared to the other potential bosses? I mean, I find him much harder than Mum.

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;36810356]Is it just me, or is the black flying dude (forgot his name) incredibly hard compared to the other potential bosses? I mean, I find him much harder than Mum.[/QUOTE] Small dodge through or around his bullet spread, avoid his laterals once he's finished his charge.
Speed upgrades are important for not getting caught by him, or any boss that comes at you for that matter.
[QUOTE=ironman17;36810528]Speed upgrades are important for not getting caught by him, or any boss that comes at you for that matter.[/QUOTE] Yeah. Fallen and the Mask of Infamy are both hard for me if I'm lacking in speed upgrades. Also I unlocked Cain last night while playing Maggy. She got to Mom and dropped her to about 15% before I messed up. Oh well. The bright side is that Cain is a lot of fun.
[QUOTE=Color;36809807]The Duke of flies is so annoying.[/QUOTE] he dies to like, one bomb. I don't think I've ever died to him, he just has such low health

Sure, the heart goes down ok, but the mask is pretty much an oversized version of one of those super-Knights, the ones with Isaac's face on the back of their heads. The battle can be pretty drawn-out and annoying unless you have a movement-impairing tear effect like freezing or slowing, so you have more time to hit it in the back. Also, does it still not have a visible health bar yet? I can imagine that'd be another annoyance; not knowing how much more it's gonna take. Here's hoping it gets fixed.
[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;36810566]he dies to like, one bomb.

Locked him in a corner and every time he coughed up flies I just destroyed them [editline]17th July 2012[/editline] I fucking hate fighting Pin and that spider boss. Crawler I think
[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;36810566]he dies to like, one bomb. I don't think I've ever died to him, he just has such low health[/QUOTE] Idk I just picked up the game a few days ago.
[QUOTE=ironman17;36810655] Also, does it still not have a visible health bar yet? I can imagine that'd be another annoyance; not knowing how much more it's gonna take. Here's hoping it gets fixed.[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, it does not. Makes it seem like it goes on forever. Though I do have to wonder if they didn't design it that way on purpose. The missing health bar is a mechanic of the boss, perhaps? But maybe not. So I have Polyphemus and Brimstone. Chocolate Milk is in front of me. Anybody know what will happen to my shots? EDIT: Fantastic things will happen. Holy fuck I just one shot The Husk.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36810688] I fucking hate fighting Pin and that spider boss. Crawler I think[/QUOTE] That'd be Widow or The Wretched
Widow is the one. Bit of a doozy that one, especially if you have almost no upgrades
Widow's pretty easy. Just keep moving, keep moving, and I also suggest you to keep moving.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36810824]Widow is the one. Bit of a doozy that one, especially if you have almost no upgrades[/QUOTE] Widow's actually piss-easy if you recognize one flaw in her attack pattern. If you're right next to her, she cannot hurt you in any way since any jumping attack she has will jump OVER you and land on the opposite side. The only threats are the spiders that are spawned by her.
Wow, that's some sound-sounding strategy there.
Just took out the Womb. A great run in a great game, fun stuff. My only regret is not buying this game sooner.
Do you guys use the mouse to shoot or the arrow keys? Just curious what's working better. for y'all.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36811433]Do you guys use the mouse to shoot or the arrow keys? Just curious what's working better. for y'all.[/QUOTE] Definitely arrow keys.
See I started off with arrow keys but I find I like mouse better because I can just leave the cursor over whatever I'm shooting at and Isaac will shoot in the correct direction
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36811433]Do you guys use the mouse to shoot or the arrow keys? Just curious what's working better. for y'all.[/QUOTE] Arrows for everything [I]except[/I] Epic Fetus. Arrows are faster in every regard.
Hang on, does Isaac actually shoot in more than 4 directions? I'm sure that he can only shoot up, down, left and right... Nonetheless, being able to shoot in a way that has it go towards the pointer would seem like a plus in my book. Also, I wonder if GT'll do more Isaacy art?
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36811433]Do you guys use the mouse to shoot or the arrow keys? Just curious what's working better. for y'all.[/QUOTE] I use arrow keys. Feels very natural to me. Too much hand movement with the mouse, I'd think.

Nonetheless, being able to shoot in a way that has it go towards the pointer would seem like a plus in my book.[/QUOTE] The only item that can be aimed diagonally is Mom's Knife. Just in case you needed yet another reason why it's so fucking awesome.
I use a gamepad myself. left joystick to move around, four face buttons to shoot, shoulder buttons for space items, pills, etc On the topic of diagonal shooting... It's only semi-possible. Like if you're moving up and shooting to the right, your shot will be drifting upwards as it moves. But I think everyone knows this.
