Nicalis really seems to be obsessed with rushing isaac-related stuff, the base game had a lot of signs of being rushed (overall lack of polish, lack of synergies despite promises, new characters lacking item descriptions on the character select), and now we have this item shit

Like, come on. I'm really starting to hate Nicalis right now. Reflecting on my experiences so far, there seem to be only a couple of gems and the rest is from "eh" to "FUCKING HELL WHY". Just like the original Rebirth.

God dammit Nicalis does not learn anything.

Super Greed is easy. Do you mean Ultra Greed?

If Mario has taught me anything, it's that most things rely on whether there's something good in a nearby box.

Yeah that one. IMO he tanks a bit too much. From what I have heard Hush is worse in that aspect though.

Yeah,

Hush

has a ton of health, but apparently, similarly to

Ultra Greed

their health is based on how much time the preceding bosses

It Lives or possibly Hush's Blue Baby phase, and the sudden Monstro ambush, respectively

took to beat.

I think so, but Dark Judas can obtain red hearts (??? can't), and you start Blue Bomber with Pyromaniac, which makes explosions heal red heart damage.

Combine Pyromaniac with Kamikaze on a character with red hearts and you effectively have infinite health.

109 is apparently Afterbirth's arc number. Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be 109 hours or so after Afterbirth's launch, and apparently there's a bugfix patch coming (that may be more than just a bugfix). Since The Lost was discovered about 109 hours after Rebirth's launch, there's some fan speculation that there are some huge secrets in the expansion, ones that correlate to some sort of meta-plot commentary on the dataminers back when Rebirth released.

...I can't say how much of that I believe, but there's definitely a chance that the more mysteriously lacking parts of the expansion are deliberate. Edmund actually went out and said on twitter that a single listed feature on the Steam store page is not truthful, so there's that - there's definitely SOMETHING going on.

There's also several hints in the game, such as

three trinkets with still unknown usage

, the 109

Greed Machine cap as you already mentioned

. The reddit threads are quite fascinating, not because they're necessarily onto anything, but because it's amazing to see the kind of madcap theories being proposed like when kids used to try to figure out how to push the truck or get Mew.
Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.

Welp, patch is out, and it seems to have unlocked most of the items that for some reason weren't available. People haven't given up the hunt for further hidden content though.

The patch fixed a whole bunch of bugs, which is nice... and nerfed the hell out of Azazel (massive damage decrease and an increase in charge time).

Lilith got a nerf too (Box of Friends now has a 4-room charge), but that one's understandable, she was a bit overpowered. Glass Cannon also got a nerf: it now affects Spirit and Sin hearts as well as red hearts. Disappointing, but also understandable.

Bottom line? Bugs are fixed, items are available, Greed Mode is no longer as hilariously easy to break, and Azazel sucks now.

I hear that the crash when trying to go to

the blue womb

still exists for people that had that problem previously, so looks like I still can't play >_<
(I haven't tried it again myself, but I've seen quite a few posts that seem to confirm that the crash still happens.)

does it leave you with half of a read heart AND half a soul heart, or just one?

at least it's still good for the Lost :]

Just tried it myself now and managed to get in and beat it, despite the frustration it was worth the wait, that was quite the experience =o I don't know if it's fixed completely or if it was just good luck on my end this time though, but hey, at least I've given it a try now. I did have a crash whilst trying to enter the last shop in greed mode though, but at least that's less severe.

for the record Azazel's nerf is in itself a whole nother bug. Ed said he's only supposed to be slightly nerfed, not that much lol.

phew, I thought that they intended to nerf him beyond Maggie-levels in terms of strength. (really, I think even Maggie has a higher DPS right now.)

FUCK YOU, SPEED! Finally done, and with exactly 2 minutes to spare. tech X and brimstone synergize, but SpiderMod showed that it's only aesthetic: i was still doing the same damage.

So trying to beat Greed Mode with Isaac reminds me why BoI is the hardest when you're just starting out:

Isaac is terrible at killing things and unless you get pretty lucky with the initial item spawns it's rather hard to actually kill the enemy waves with the level of efficiency that the game expects you to.
