[QUOTE=fendermcbender;49127120]hey uh, question you know how you unlock things and it says "so-and-so has appeared in the basement"? and they would only appear then, and not before? yeah, well. why have I been able to get things I haven't unlocked since day 1 of afterbirth? like empty pockets was in the store yesterday and I was getting the things you get for beating challenges before I even tried them[/QUOTE] challenge unlocks are fucked, you get them without doing challenges

[QUOTE=postal;49127097]There's a 15 mb patch coming really soon according to steamdb, probably to fix the 1001% achievement. People are also saying tho that it's gonna patch the blue hourglass respawning ultra greed?? Not sure where people are getting that from but you might want to turn off automatic updates if you haven't broken the game already. Unless you're gonna just use cheat engine or some shit.[/QUOTE] I finally found glowing hour glass and broke greed mode. The machine jammed after I put in 3 cents. Now I get to fight ultra greed 274 times. Oh and the game crashes every time I fire my tears, so I have to wait for my familiars to kill him. It takes a while.

[QUOTE=Larikang;49127384]The machine jammed after I put in 3 cents. Now I get to fight ultra greed 274 times. [/QUOTE] All you guys have it lucky. The first few times I managed to put in quite a few amount of coins... Now I'm only limited to one penny a donation (so it just jams on the first go.) On the bright side I guess I only have to do it for an hour straight before I get to 1000.

[QUOTE=Larikang;49127384] Oh and the game crashes every time I fire my tears, so I have to wait for my familiars to kill him. It takes a while.[/QUOTE] Did you pick up rubber cement and technology? I've found rubber cement combined with a high number of tech lasers insta-crashes the game. So yeah, anyone else trying to break the game, I recommend avoiding rubber cement, and also sad bombs since they can crash too sometimes if your tears get too absurd.

[QUOTE=Davoc;49127113]I get that "not everyone needs to be good enough to have 1001%" but fuck, there's a difference between something being difficult and it being just tedious and unfun. Greed mode isn't even that good of a mode to play it 200 times[/QUOTE] Yeah I mean... I [i]tolerated[/i] playing as the lost before the dlc. Part of my playing as him was because I knew his unlocks would be really good, and part of it was that I didn't mind playing as the super-challenging character for just a fraction of the game. But I don't even want to re-attempt 100% anymore because I hear that the unlocks are shitty and not fun, and getting to them is so boring and tedious that at least half the people playing the game are just using cheats or exploits to get them over with. So they can move on to the GOOD parts of the game. One thing I think is really weird is that the shop donation machines give you an [i]amazing[/i] item when you get them to 999. I don't know if I've ever lost a run where I've picked up the watch. But the greed donation box gives you something nobody really wanted in the first place because fuck you.

You still need to get the greed machine up really high to get the holy mantle for the Lost. I want that way more than the keeper. Also I ended up not finishing that broken run. It wasn't worth it.

If you're sick of the Greed mode bullshit there's a mod floating around that adds a donation machine and a pedestal with the Dollar to the basement floor of Greed mode. Easy farming. Once you max it out, all that would be left of the mode would be to play through it as Keeper. I grew tired of Greed mode far earlier than the machine stopped jamming at 109. Feels like such a waste of time and resources.

I'm still hoping they'll see some sense and make it so the greed machine doesn't jam. I haven't installed any mods or cheats yet and it would be nice to not start.

I think the greed machine jamming is easily the biggest bullshit in all this. I mean getting up to 999 is bullshit enough, but the machines jamming like they do makes the already painful grind ten times worse and less rewarding. It makes some sense with donation machines because they're donation machines. They were always something just sort of on the side with nothing too substantial hidden behind them. But the greed machine feels like basically the whole reason to play greed mode. It's not as if it isn't fun, but when the machine jams at like 5 pennies it feels basically equivalent to beating satan only for the chest to evaporate when you try to enter it. "Yo, nice run, but you know what, I think you should do it all over again."

boomerang tears double azael's brimestome range edit: oh they also curve your shot when you move sideways

Is it just me or do some enemies outright prefire based on your current heading and speed? I've seen things shoot before I even reach their line of sight, timed and aimed so it intercepts me perfectly once I do. It's really annoying.

[/QUOTE] Skeletons do that all the goddamn time which is highly irritating combined with little to no delay before shot. Doubly annoying to deal with them as Azazel with his short-range brimstone. No matter how fast you are, chances are you're getting machinegunned with bones before you're able to kill damn skellie.

Decided to try my hand at the infinite donations with the glowing hourglass thing [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/IJ8UNZA.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/aRbM5cq.jpg[/thumb] SEND HELP

[T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/398927845030635386/690C4D7EB48B2CF60FB1E2338A4D13C5510E585A/[/T] that was long zzzzz

I got the keeper, too [t]http://i.imgur.com/aYEIri7.png[/t] The first one had almost all the bombs, so when I got both fetuses and knife, I forgot I also got the auto target and homing. So when I moved over to target ultra greed the target would home in and the auto target would not stop, this caused a problem because glitter bombs mix with epic fetus and scatter bombs, I accidentally got pushed into the chest. As you can see the damage was pretty big, but it crit was almost 2k then 600. The second run to finish it off, which I didn't get a chaos card (I got ? card which bypasses the need for batteries), that combo was roughly, quad shot and stuff like that to get 20+ knifes, orbital, infinity, x laser, monstro, homing, chocolate milk, soy milk, and a lot of tear enlargers, oh and shield tears. Ultra greed died in less then 10 seconds. I also got paranoid and put the greed donation box back to 999 coins, (I was getting 12 coins max)

And I coulda just got The Keeper three, but the greed box was next to the chest and in the mass confusion from all of my familiars I ran at the speed of light at the box, lost track of my body, and pressed into the box slipping me into the chest. Fuck sakes, now to try and find the combo AGAIN. GG. And might I mention I could donate 74 coins each run.... ugh.

The Lost with the holy mantle starter is actually a lot of fun.

The keeper is slow, also it can die from pills and devil begger spawning on you when you do not want it. I wonder now if the blood donation machine was supposed to help out the keeper with unlimited coins?

Feels like Keeper only exists to fill in the void Lost left behind when he became fun and not frustrating to play as.

Does the lost lose the mantle if you D4?

Wait wouldn't Keeper be broken with health donation machines?

[QUOTE=Everything;49131842]Does the lost lose the mantle if you D4?[/QUOTE] It does, and really gives you a dilemma which I actually kind of like. Either hold on to Lost's best item or roll the dice and maybe you can convert all your useless powerups into some epic synergy. [editline]17th November 2015[/editline] I mean sure I'd like it more if they just removed all the HP ups and other useless items from Lost's item pool instead of giving him a D4 but y'know

things I learned during the keeper, blowing up shop keepers can activate Greed, it will close the doors, killed me on shot XXAP DSAF had me going with a 7 cent blank card in the beginning, got a starter deck with the sun, died to those huge eyes because keeper has short invisibility frames I think edit: [t]http://i.imgur.com/UmpbJtx.png[/t] guess what the winning factor was....

A large portion of the game will go without the item being used in fear of losing the Holy Mantle. It's not until numerous items are accrued that ballin out of control with it becomes remotely viable, and that's assuming the player is willing to pass up any useful active items that they may come across up until that point. It's self-defeating, in that sense.

If only you could select starting items from a small list. Lost would have the option of D4 or D20, for instance.

So triple shot stacks with keeper, had a run with 20/20 then triple shot the next floor, sadly getting hit is frequent.

ugh, whatever. I just cheated with the dollar and donation machine on floor 1. I saw how often it jammed and I'm not interested in playing that many times to unlock the keeper. :toot:

IMO Keeper was made wrong. How he SHOULD have worked was a total lack of heart mechanic altogether, and instead he'd drop his money when hit, dying if he's hit once more with none. He'd start with a nickel and drop three coins when hit, one of them disappearing completely and the other two able to be picked back up. Enemies would be able to pick up the money he drops too, so make sure they don't get to it first. Because of this, devil deals must be purchased like shop items, and shops in general are riskier, but some things which can only be bought synergize very well with him, such as humbling bundle, mom's key and contract from below, so it may be worth the risk.
