[QUOTE=Rarara;51625449]Bosses in Antibirth for the most part don't seem to be mostly dps gates, but have respectably low health pools to make it very possible to beat them with no damage items. This goes for all bosses in the basement and downpour.
If you somehow have no damage items on the mines (unlikely since you've had a nice selection by now) you can still kill the cartimp with bombs quite easily, and the spider and Great Gideon will take some effort but could be worse.

Is the siren rarer than the other mausoleum bosses? Never seen it yet.

Yeah I always ignore rock blast.
The five bombs are nice but do I really want to forget about it later and take stupid damage or make it really hard to use them in active combat? Using it with doctor fetus sounds nightmarish.[/QUOTE]

I think Siren only spawns if you have familiars/orbitals because without them she isn't even a real fight.

[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;51625628]The normal spiked chests still exist too. It's really obnoxious, you have to be careful when you have low health now. A mimic type enemy would have been more fun and wouldn't have probably cost me several runs already.

The game is increasingly less about skill and more about having sheer luck with item spawns, you almost have to have a broken combo of pickups[/QUOTE]

let's be fair here, Isaac has always been tactical bingo

I can debunk this, fought her on my last run and I had absolutely no familiars.

If you aren't seeing the boss, make sure you have the most recent version of Antibirth, because she wasn't in the release version.

Yes, but usually you don't get damaged without any warning.

There's a difference between, say, opening a chest and it spawning bombs or spiders or something that you can avoid/kill. But a chest that looks harmless but damages you, unavoidably, when you open it, is a terrible idea. It's the definition of a game feeling unfair.

I mean, sure, you could go "meta" and just not open chests without surplus HP. But that isn't [I]fun.[/I]

[DrBones]

[del]As it turns out, the Mimic Chests DO have a tell. It's more subtle than Dark Souls' tell and it needs you to keep an eye out for a variation of three pixels on a very common object's model, but it's a tell![/del]
Scratch that, this is a WIP mod. AfterBirth+ is perfectly willing to force you to do the feint test on every single normal chest from now on.

Fair enough, only videos and stuff I've seen with her the player always had something, even if it's just sac dagger.

Trying Antibirth for the first time. I unlocked Bethany a few hours in, she's really fun

E: Is there supposed to be a narrator? I haven't heard him

the Antibirth narrator is more of a joke feature but you can enable it by going to the path seen in this image and setting EnableAnnouncer to 1

So i actually defeated [sp]Mega Satan[/sp] with Apollyon and I didnt get any new item unlocks, nor an achievement. I didn't enable any custom seeds or anything. From the looks of it, it didnt even count the entire run

Wtf?! Now that's such a pisstake.

[editline]5th January 2017[/editline]

Okay, I now know what happened. I installed a mod that changes the colors of the stat hud. I should have figured that installing any kind of mods hinders game progression. That's lame.

I strongly advice you to NOT use any workshop mods[URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=834317560"] such as this one[/URL], if you're going to unlock stuff

[Ninja Nub[NOR]]

wait what, really?
that's real fuckin' stupid

[VintageCat]

I believe if the mod only modifies base game files, you can just copy the resource folder of the mod into the root folder of the game, then you can get the achievements using mods.

[DEATH FETISH]

i understand most of the gripes people have with the new DLC but the BoI subreddit is fucking dogpiling anyone that says they liked it. seems worse than gmod players responding to gmod 13

I think i just lost 10kg sweating on hard ultra greed fight. Shit's tough on 1.5 hp to start with.

Whoever designed that boss pattern should stop making games. It's stupidly hard to dodge even with just two of them.

I only fought that boss once and I had very broken items that killed him quick. After that, I never ever saw him again (Well, I never really made any progress afterwards, thanks to those void portals in basement/caves areas)

I feel so sorry for you.

I don't follow everything to do with Isaac, does Ed and Tyrone consider spiders to be better than flies? The Spider transformation looks like kinda crap compared to Guppy, and the Box of Spiders still takes two room clears to charge when Guppy's Head still only costs one.

Oh neat, is there a spider transformation now? You got a pic by any chance?

[Steel]

[QUOTE=Erfly;51626845]Oh neat, is there a spider transformation now?[/QUOTE]
[url=http://platinumgod.co.uk/transformations]Platinum God has one listed[/url]. Weird that Sissy Longlegs, Daddy Longlegs, Infestation 2 and Mom's Wig aren't flagged for it.

[Erfly]

It's a shame that no transformation really matches Guppy.
The spider one could've been a different cat, maybe it'd replace guppy bits like the cube of meat and ball of bandages.

For what fucking purpose. Why did the testers not say anything about the spawners?

[Geel]

The new damaging chests [b]do[/b] have a tell, though. When you get close to them they reveal themselves.

It's not completely unavoidable.

I wonder what went through his head.

In what possible universe is it a good idea to test a game with only highly skilled testers?

[Geel]

The game keeps crashing on startup. It gets to a black screen then crashes.

I already have vcredist installed.

Bullshit.

That's like rule 1 of playtesting, never ever use the same people unless you're designing specifically for experts.
If anything, he was testing with playtesters with [i]no[/i] experience or common sense if they weren't able to call out the obvious bullshit as they came across it. If anything this comes off as a rude slice at the general playerbase about them not being good enough at the game unlike those "too experienced testers" that they had working on it.

[Steel]

Guess these were posted in the Antibirth (fuck me) Discord. Pestilence and Conquest weren't done at time of posting here, but they will be joining the others.

The horsemen will be added to the alt routes as bosses.

[QUOTE=geel9;51624727]It seems I want to work with Entity_Tear but that doesn't even exist in the documentation.

Great.[/QUOTE]

Someone on the modding reddit posted this:
[quote]ok so you fire a tear by using this Isaac.Spawn(EntityType.ENTITY_TEAR, 0, 0, player.Position, Vector(math.random(-10, 10), math.random(-10, 10)), nil) the randoms just send it in a random velocity[/quote]

But that just spawns a normal tear. If you use player:FireTear() you can make it copy your current tears.

[url]https://moddingofisaac.com/docs/class_entity_player.html#a89bc0d41813a3cda10d382b9a7cdecbc[/url]

Edit: Oh yes! But player only works if you do "local player = Isaac.GetPlayer(0)".

[editline].[/editline]

Also I want to say that I love the tools so far. I know some coding but I never really got into it but having it in a game that I love so much has gotten me to code and it's great. I'm actually surprised I can do things that I want to do! Not everything because I don't know that much but still. It's fun.

It's still a BS addition.
