This would be a good thing. People's issues are that they AREN'T common since the ones that do show up are shitty rooms with coins or hearts and the fact that they hold the key to Mega Satan

Yep, charge is still slow as shit.
And apparently Ultra Greed was totally revamped
>Key coins now spawn in larger number, so in order to get rid of doors you need to destroy more than one
>Coin activation is dependent on his rage, not sure how it's calculated, but at max rage it's nearly impossible to destroy any coins

Overall I think new U. Greed is pretty fun and hard, might actually give me motivation to play greed mode from time to time.

Also, I forgot, it seems like Monstro is no longer the pre ultra greed boss, now it's Greed or 2 super greeds from what I've seen. This is leading me to believe that Monstro was put there as a placeholder and Nicalis forgot to swap him out.

Also, the greed donation machine jam chance increases 1% every 5 coins, and resets when playing a different character. I'm assuming 1125 people need to reach 999 coins before we get the Keeper because >muh ARG

I'd prefer if Edmund did this shit the way that the Surgeon Sim devs did, by having the content available in the first place and having elaborate unlock conditions, but instead of gating the how to unlock shit away, hide it better instead.

This phrase gets thrown around a lot but damage mitigation on Hush and Ultra Greed is the definition of artificial difficulty

>>121542834
1125 doesn't mean how many people need 999.
It means we're getting the new content regardless on November 25th since there's probably no way for them to actually track how many people reach 999 with their level of competence.

This shit should be the reward for Greed Machine donations.
It already took Cain from high tier to top tier, why can't it bring the others up as well?
Maybe even make Greed Mode some sort of special mode where you need to at least down one of the 2 final bosses with each character, sans lost before unlocking.

Unlocks could include shit like
>Dice Shard for Isaac
>Petrified Poop for Blue Baby
>Guaranteed Eden's Blessing for Eden
>Curved Horn for Azazel

After unlocking each item, of course.
It would make the Greed machine useful for more than just ARG purposes, and would give motivation to play greed mode to the end.

>Not doing Mega Satan as the lost ever
Just get Mom's Knife and a lot of damage boosts, it literally one-shots each of Satan's phases with just a few decent bonuses. The only hard part is the Horsemen/Sins/Angel spam

>>121547382
It's not that hard, you just have to skip the first devil deal, hope you get an angel room on floor 3 (50% base chance, can be increased by certain things like donating 10 coins to the donation machine)
You can exploit a single angel room for multiple key pieces by exiting and reloading the game after killing the angel

>>121547382
If you can get past the caves as the lost you can beat mega satan as the lost

Since ultra greed has shown bosses can have fluid animations, I think we could use some super horsemen

Alright, tired of getting my shit kicked in with Issac. Who do I play to just grind Mom's Heart unlocks out?

No, they'll only drop key pieces. You can reroll them into angel items with the D6/D100/Dice shard/Perthro though

Kinda miffed the angel laser isn't an item. You could even have killed enemies leave fires.

Woulda been a cool "holy brimstone"

>>121548039
What if you reroll them with the D4
Cant you just farm their room until you have gone through every item then?

So i bought rebirth for ps4 and i'm having a pretty good time

never played this game before and ended up unlocking all the characters except judas in the first 5 or so runs

I checked the patch notes for this game and wow does the dev just nerf things constantly? like that's a common theme i'm seeing, just nerf after nerf, which i personally don't get since it's a single player game

Yes, you can
You need a bomb to wake him up each time, unless you make a key pedestal spawn on top of the angel, at which point he'll wake up as soon as you reload into the game because it destroys his "block"
However, if you accidentally pick up a key piece while doing so, the angel will stop dropping them, so you have to avoid picking up any while farming him

>>121548719
Edmund's method gives the player less options and control over how they play the game.

don't stand still, first of all
second, if he moves slightly in your direction when he's jumping, that means it's a fast one, so you should move as fast as possible

I rarely play Azazel but his only redeeming quality is you can shit out a sub 20 minute run every time and have fun. This nerf makes no sense apart from Ed preventing people from farming money for Greed Mode and ruining their steak.

>>121553875

Why doesn't he nerf particular characters FOR Greed Mode? League and DOTA 2 do that fine for their official custom modes, if the concern that Azazel can burn through Greed Mode too fast then nerf him for Greed Mode.

So what the fuck did this patch actually do?

>>121553828
Just did a run as ??? to beat hush for the unlock but no dice. Hopefully a future patch gives me something or eventually someone can find something I can do in cheat engine.

Literally could be the only reason they did this. Also ties in with the fact that Lilith was nerfed as well. I mean there is ARG shit and then there is just obnoxious fucking bullshit like what they're pulling at the moment. I would like to just play the game without having to deal with this buggy piece of shit just because they want to feel special. Everyone knows about the fucking character anyway.

>>121554145
Keep throwing that shit at Edmund then. Email, twitter, whatever.

what's a good strategy for family man?

i've tried restarting until i get guppy's head in a sacrifice room first floor but then i never end up getting other guppy pieces for the transformation

the damage simply isnt there for later levels, takes too long to kill anything

>>121554067
The thing i don't understand is why nerf the character in the first place, it's a single player game. There is no competition, no need to balance.

After a while of playing the game it gets easy and it's up to the player to make it challenging for themselves

>>121554306
Honestly, I found Azzy pretty tricky with Greed Mode. No red hearts sucks, his flying is just about useless, and his low range really makes itself noticeable.

>>121554515
Go to shops. Red Candle, Blue Candle, and Stopwatch pretty much guarantee a victory.

>>121554139
>Edmund
>Patch notes
>Nice joke

Every day I'm hating this game more, because of the particular way he wants us to eat our fucking steak.

>>121554527
He probably thinks it just makes the game too easy, despite having to get unlocks on every character INCLUDING THE FUCKING LOST (and Lazarus/??? who I despise) to unlock everything. The game already has a skill cap, why nerf the character more?

Do you have to hold three guppy items to get the transformation or only pick up three?

>>121554527
>After a while of playing the game it gets easy and it's up to the player to make it challenging for themselves

That's who he's balancing it for. So that the people who've played it for a million hours can't win every time, no matter how good they are.

>>121554785
Pick up 3, you don't have to hold them.

>>121554785
You only need to touch them. Paw and Head can be dropped. You can even re-roll your build with the D4/D100/MissingNo and it still counts the touch.

>>121554848
Only pick up 3. Any items that count towards a transformation can be dropped/rerolled and still be counted.

>>121554515
That's probably the hardest of the rebirth challenges. I would just hope for a bob's brain and hopefully another follower or too, getting guppy seems like a stretch.

When I did it I had the issac head trinket, abel, bob's brain and got lucky with soul hearts.

Devil Dead % chance. I have Goat Head so it's always 100% on applicable floors.

>>121559936
I wish I could try that at least once, and maybe with a Refresher for maximum fun.

Damn, this is what Azzy's range looks like with the Flat Worm + My Reflection tears. Taking out Hush should be absurdly easy (being Guppy will help, too).

>>121560225
i already know what's getting nerfed next patch :^)

When do you guys usually activate Diplopia? I've been hanging on to it for a while and I'm not sure when I'll pop it, maybe if I see a "all stats up" item

>>121560364
What, literally everything but the D6?

>>121559541
Darkness is an inconvenience, as is Blind unless you pick up a shit-tier item or get a devil room.
Maze can actively ruin all chances to get Boss Rush and Hush.

HOW MANY FUCKING DEVIL ROOMS DO I HAVE TO GO IN BEFORE I ACTUALLY GET A FUCKING DEVIL DEAL

THIS SHIT IS FUCKING RETARDED

>>121560437
D6 too
it'll have a 50% chance to whiff

>>121560530
>D6 has a 75% Chance to roll successfully
>10% Chance to roll into a garbage item like The Bean
>5% Chance to roll into a Troll Bomb
>5% Chance to roll into a Boss relevant to that floor
>4% Chance to roll into portal that sucks you into I AM ERROR
>1% Chance to roll something actually useful when you want it to

>>121560449
The only curse that isn't an outright detriment to your run is Darkness. That shit barely means anything compared to how Godawful the rest are

>Unknown
>Never sure how much health you have

>Maze
>Fuck you over as The Lost or waste your time because muh timed missions

>Blind
>Soy Milk, Bob's Brain, shitty items the curse

>Labyrinth
>Fuck around for ages and lose out on several items like Shop and Devil

I legitimately think the curses are artificial difficulty now

Picking up this lil' nigga and Succubus brought me down to 3 and a half hearts but it was worth it. Time to obliterate Isaac and Blue Baby.

Will MissingHud2 prevent me from getting achievements?

I'm partial to both, but depends on my mood

I'm attempting another Maggy at the moment, though it depends because I'm switching between two things right now

fastest way to fill up greed machine?

Play different characters, consuming the steak slowly.

>>121561347
Welp, scratch that, I was being pessimistic, I got one angel room in Womb 2. That just makes it worse.

>>121556359
To be fair that transaction is complete bullshit. I hate that they have to make a big deal out of "nuh uh no sealed games you probably stole it from somewhere but if you open it it's okay"

>>121561674
Shit, I was too late to see but I was going to tell you that if you kill an Angel, don't pick up the keypiece and just restart the game using save and quit, and if you have more bombs you can keep blowing up the statue for the other piece. This also works if you have the D6 to reroll lots of key pieces into angel room items.

>>121561674
Just leave and continue, angel statue reappears. You can use this to get 2 key pieces in one room, or even more key pieces to reroll them into angel items.

>>121560836

You sound like a huge tool with no idea what you're talking about.

That was the most unthrilling 15 minutes ever.

>>121561929

>>121562029
>beat Ultra Greed with Soy Milk and Explosivo
It wasn't fun but it worked.

Quick idea for an item:
>Adopted Soul
>Gotten from Devil Deals
>When purchased, gives you a random sin transformation. This transformation doesn't change for the rest of the run.
