[QUOTE=Everything;49088388]It's worse when you finally have 15 coins on the fifth floor (and steam sale), and you get greed, THEN super greed on the next floor.[/QUOTE] My super greed came after a floor with greed when I also had the coins to donate. This run I've had every type of pickup falling into my lap even with 0 luck too, [del]just not much else to go with it[/del] I take that back, I've got polyphemus and proptosis (40 base damage shots jesus), with 2 lil brimstones due to diplopia.

Killing Hush with Judas is such a bitch. It's hard to make a glass cannon not glassy.

[QUOTE=Fapplejack;49088462]Killing Hush with Judas is such a bitch. It's hard to make a glass cannon not glassy.[/QUOTE] one you get glass cannon get rid of your life for soul hearts

Glass cannon deletes EVERY SINGLE HEART OF EVERY TYPE except half of one of the highest tier heart you had (red > black > soul) There's no way to cheat it with soul conversions. Use it once and you're the Lost until you can find more health.

If you only have half a heart it won't do anything to you. If you're the Lost it does nothing negative. And IIRC before this last patch it only nuked red hearts.

okay I used it before the patch. not going to bother if it's that painful to use. would be a cool challenge though.

[QUOTE=Everything;49088986]If you only have half a heart it won't do anything to you. If you're the Lost it does nothing negative. And IIRC before this last patch it only nuked red hearts.[/QUOTE] Well that took a nose dive in terms of usefulness. I doubt I'll ever pick it up now unless I'm the lost.

Iunno, it was OP since minimal red heart runs are very common and as a result it synergized easily. The nerf kinda throws it into the realm of uselessness but I can completely understand why they nerfed it. Maybe make it so it drops you to 1 or 1.5 hearts? It would give the character only 1-3 hits before death so they'd still be glass but not THAT much of a glass canon.

You know that actually would be a pretty fun challenge. The Lost with blindfold, glass cannon, pupula duplex, eve's mascara and polyphemus. Very low shot speed but big hitbox and stratospherically high damage, so the setup of your shot is critical. You can one-shot any enemy and all but the last couple bosses, but they can do exactly the same to you if you don't make the shot count. [editline]t[/editline] Could call it ONE AND DONE, ONE SHOT ONE KILL or INSTA-GIB

They're nerfing challenges? Well then... At least people wont have to endure the agony I suffered from the "SPEED!" challenge, which pissed me off to the point where I almost straight up disliked Afterbirth. It took about as many resets for me as finishing all marks for the lost pre-expansion. Even on the run I completed the challenge, with both Brimstone AND Lil' Brimstone, in addition to some good cards like the sun card, I only finished with about 20 seconds left on the timer. If only the patch could restore my sanity as well.

I hope they don't nerf the Guardian challenge at all, that one is too hilarious.

It would be fun if we could create custom challenges and publish them to steam workshop :smile:

[QUOTE=Mitchel.;49090103]It would be fun if we could create custom challenges and publish them to steam workshop :smile:[/QUOTE] Workshop for that? Nah, It would be cool if there was a custom challenges tab though, we already have dailies so I'm pretty sure it's possible. You'd choose the starting items, whether there's item rooms or not, what floor the player needs to get to, and I'm pretty sure that's it.

[QUOTE=Everything;49088388]It's worse when you finally have 15 coins on the fifth floor (and steam sale), and you get greed, THEN super greed on the next floor.[/QUOTE] I've conditioned myself to expect Greed if it's the last possible store and I have like 80 coins.

CCX7 00AM Soy Milk, Dr Fetus and Triple Shot. Man that was a fun run, I even managed to beat [sp]Hush[/sp] with this. The only thing that could have made this better would have been Pyromaniac.

I've thought up some challenges, anyone else got any? [QUOTE] Afraid of the dark You start with the night light and flying, rooms are pitch black. Creating fires can help. I'M LATE Each room you go through forces a speed upgrade on you Monster Master Blindfolded with the capture ball and a few babbies Technomancer Start with spidermod, Tech X, Brimstone and Spoon Bender Pawns of Protection Blind Folded Lost with 5 dry babies [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;49089957]I hope they don't nerf the Guardian challenge at all, that one is too hilarious.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind if the mom fight changed a little for that challenge. The first time I tried it, the guy just got slowly stomped to death by mom because I couldn't kill her fast enough, and he sure as hell makes no effort to avoid the stomps. Pretty sure I only beat it because I got a level skip on depths 2 in the following run.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;49090357]I've thought up some challenges, anyone else got any?[/QUOTE] Hadouken! Starts with ipecac, ludovico and fire mind (Guide explosive fireballs into your enemies, but don't hit yourself!) It's a Phase Starts blindfolded with black powder, satanic bible, ceremonial robes, abaddon and demon baby + BFFs (Sacrifice your enemies to the darkness, and look to your demonic pal and your own pain for help when you can't)

Would be cool if putting down all bonfires on the floor triggered some eerie event

[QUOTE=shott;49092551]Would be cool if putting down all bonfires on the floor triggered some eerie event[/QUOTE] I still think the room with the fire pentagram should do something.

[QUOTE=Erfly;49092678]I still think the room with the fire pentagram should do something.[/QUOTE] I remember when Vanilla Isaac was new people thought something would happen if you used Book of Belial while in one of those rooms. It was really reminiscent of the old "Bill's Backyard" and "Mew Under Truck" urban legends spread around which I liked, despite it not being true.

Is Lazarus programmed to not have any angel rooms ever? first run I get fucking broken with piercing coin tears and D20 and I get only one key piece. Devil/angel room literally doesn't spawn two floors in a row, twice. Second run I become Guppy by depths II and get batshit crazy firerate from purity, also a stopwatch and angel room doesn't spawn even once. And womb is XL, essentially robbing me from one angel/devil room. What a loser character, honestly. Lore-wise, I think Lazarus is the embodiment of Isaac being a stupid kid everyone picks on at school

Lazarus is a garbage character made purely just to pad the character selection screen. Why he doesn't start with Suicide King still confuses me.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;49092839]Lazarus is a garbage character made purely just to pad the character selection screen. Why he doesn't start with Suicide King still confuses me.[/QUOTE] Well, the character editor exists.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;49092839]Lazarus is a garbage character made purely just to pad the character selection screen. Why he doesn't start with Suicide King still confuses me.[/QUOTE] Because at that point they might as well just start him already dead and with one heart. He's not bad, especially if you can give all your hearts away on some good devil deals. His biggest problem is that he looks like a fucking nerd. By the way, did they fix the familiar transformation? I'm firing in the Wiz direction along side my normal tear direction.

He'd be much more worthwhile if the lazarus rags did huge revenge damage to all enemies on death (significantly more than necronomicon, enough to chop off like half of a late-game boss' health bar), making the unique respawn condition actually useful. Combine that with the suicide king as a starting item, and he's got a one-off boss shredder that you can proc in an emergency, and then reap the benefits of revived lazarus afterward. [editline]t[/editline] Maybe... [B]Lazarus Rags[/B] - Grants one extra life - On death, removes half of every enemy's HP in the current room - This includes any boss in the entire game, cutting their health bar in half - If said boss has multiple phases, they will have half of their grand total HP removed and be put in whatever phase is appropriate (IE, phase 3 Mega Satan) - Respawns the player as reborn Lazarus exactly where the player died, with only one red heart - Reborn Lazarus has the following perks: Tears up (1.2x multiplier, stacks with other multipliers), luck up, anemic passive

not mine, but good christ does the "No!" trinket go well with library rooms [img]http://i.imgur.com/gE46M64.jpg[/img]

I don't understand why you would ever pick up curse of the tower unless you had pyromaniac or the D4/D100
