I know it's not BoI related, I'd post this in it's own thread if I could find it but I couldn't, what's the word on Mewgenics? Edmund hasn't released anything about it in a while.

On hold, he's currently focusing on a new MeatBoy game of sorts.
Oh god, the update is very violent. I managed to get to Mom in the first run. Mostly due to good drops in the basement (got Spirit of the Night and Spelunker's Hat there).
Most difficult bosses were the Larry Jr. and Loki. Mom's not looking so tough, but she distracted me with little white Monstros.
Beat Mom and It Lives while also getting guppy in the Eternal Edition.
Died to double black widow room in the cathedral because half a heart. It Lives is so fucking intense now, jesus christ. Especially if it summons monstro GOD HELP YOU IF IT SUMMONS MONSTRO.
[QUOTE=Doom64hunter;47646087]So the update for the original is out, and it's not fun at all.
I had Ipecac and Polyphemus, 30 soul hearts, was not able to kill white Blue Baby. Nice balancing Florian.

edit: sorry for double post
is azazel considered to be OP as fuck?
And then you get floor ` ludovico and instawin
I really don't know how people think Azazel's range is a penalty. With flight it's super easy to just come in, blast them, and run away. He's just entirely OP in my opinion.
Okey, I have completed both games 100% until I just saw that the old one got an update so I tried it and now I get fucked on hard mode, could somebody direct me to where I can find all new things added because old bosses have new patterns and I can't find secret rooms anymore and when I rerolled my first item in the boss room it disappeared.. I feel so confused. Don't get me wrong, I love the new hard mode, finally a challenge, but I feel like I need some info on what is new so I won't die in the first 10 minutes of a run all the time :c
Btw, have the first game always had that bad framerate? many years since i last played it. Don't remember it being that clunky and slow.
Edit: Now i rerolled a item in the item room ( first floor ) it dissapered? what is happening guys :c

You are experiencing what happens when someone who doesn't know a thing about game balance creates his own update for a game.

I did it... i beat blue baby on hard mode :D Now i only need satan and to do it on the other characters...
[QUOTE=Yahnich;47652865]yeah it's totally not a penalty to have to be super close to a boss with a lot of fast adds or aoe attacks or those worms with aoe explosions happening
or having to charge up vs double trouble bosses that have too much health to really 3shot so you're spending most of the fight just charging up and doing little trickles of damage
azazel is ridiculously strong until like mom's heart and after mom's heart you better have sick damage upgrades or other good synergies, while tear heroes are always sort of equally good[/QUOTE]
I don't have those issues...when I play Azazel I kill pretty much everything quickly. If you just stick right close to the enemies but don't touch them it's not really a penalty at all. I guess if you play more cautiously it would be an issue, but I play really dangerously and it makes Azazel very overpowered. I'm basically hugging every boss I fight constantly, if possible.
^ this is the reason I have no marks as Azazel, saving him for later

Edmund seems to be planning some buffs for the Lost. Which is a bit shitty given how late he is, since so many of us have now beaten him without these upcoming advantages, but whatever at least it'll help with clearing the new levels with him.
People are still going to restart until they get holy mantle on floor 1.
How strange, I find Azazel to be "easy mode" and that's why I don't play as him that much because it's too easy for me. He was the first character I got all the marks with, and I pretty much got them one after the other. I guess it just depends on how you play or something.

aaaaaaaa
Could be. Also the "Burning Basement" variant looks pretty gnarly so far.
Honestly I'd just give The Lost a unique item called "The Broken Mantle" that functions just like the normal mantle, except that once you take a hit, it has a 50% chance per room cleared to have the shield come back. You'd start off with a free hit, then you'd be rolling the dice afterwards to get that hit back.
It'd make him less annoying to play with while also giving players a chance to fuck up once in a while rather than restarting the entire run, if you don't have dead cat/eternal life/1-up. It'd also be less broken than just giving him the holy mantle.
but the point of the lost is for him to be an immense challenge
like all of these arguments i'm seeing are completely missing the point.
"but he's just cutting corners and giving us what we do normally!"
no one told you guys to hold down R until your finger atrophies due to a lack of use so you can get an overpowered drop in the basement with the room right next to you. the lost never called for that. i've beaten the lost on all marks on normal (just re-picked up hard today, did normal on him for fun) and not once restart-scummed my way. I just got gradually more powerfully as I went on, and promoted safe play. y'know. as you tend to do in isaac.
"he has some of the best items behind his completions!"
yeah, as they should. you get really good items unlocked for being really good. there are other really good items locked behind other completion walls too. you have to do them to get them. the game doesn't owe you anything and if you think it does, you're missing the point twofold.
"he's too hard and not fun to play!"
sorry? there are a lot of other characters to play as.
the community datamines one of edmund's most exciting secrets (for him, and content wise) and then bullies him into changing the ultimate challenge character for the worse because those same idiots aren't happy with how hard he is.

It seems the most voted for combo is D6 + spectral tears, which is a shame because I feel like the D6 is waaaaay too powerful. If anything, D20 would be better since you could reroll hearts into useful items, IMO anyways.
[quote=Edmund]now i wont say i think this mode is the most balanced thing in the world, because it is not, even in the slightest[/quote]
You heard it here first folks. Florian can't balance for shit. :v:

Well the D6 allows for the more legitimate development of a good build, but the D20 would give a pretty good chance to break a good number of runs. The D20 is far more powerful under the right circumstances (granted, there's only one or two ways to break the game with the Lost involving the D20, but eh).
hasnt been posted yet, so here's Florian talking about today's patch + Reddit's reaction and more stuff.
Also the video is long, 40mins.
