Good luck with challenge 30 as you

That sounds terrible. Mind you, all the challenges seem to live up to the billing this time around. Maybe I'm out of practice but I haven't managed to complete one yet.

3000th or so on today's daily. Oh yeah, check me out. 8-)

Just finished my first run, just under 5k for me

It is amazing how much more produced this feels, it really is a fantastic update

Only seen a few new items so far, favourite of which is Fruit Cake, which is basically 3 Dollar Bill, only EVERY SINGLE TEAR you fire is randomised. So awesome.

The music is phenomenal. Flooded Caves and alt boss tracks being my favourite so far.

Just beat Greed Mode. The final boss is incredible. Bravo, Edmund...bravo.

Beat Greed mode with everyone the other day.

Have now found out there's unlocks for beating Mega Satan and...that other thing....in addition to being reminded I hadn't done all the hard work with The Lost on my PC file.

Yeah this'll keep me busy for a little while.

Glass Cannon is the most broken thing this side of original Dark Bum.

I want this to be on PS4 now

has a release date been announced yet? All I can find is "sometime this year" and "sooner rather than later".

Nope. I had to double-dip on the PC version. :evil:

Although Edmund has said "this year". That doesn't mean Europe this year though.

Just died as The Lamb entered his death animation while I was playing as The Lost.

Started a new game on the ps4 version yesterday and it had the word LOST on the screen when it began. What does that mean? The character I selected had two grey hearts. I died quickly.

The Lost is an end game character you have to unlock by doing a load of odd things. It is a character that dies if it gets hit once. So I would steer clear.

Had a rather odd run on the daily clear, I had my lowest score of any daily runs, but was within the top 600 on speed, I was not rushing it either....

Anyhow if anyone else is doing the daily runs, add me on steam so we can compare: Naar Might

Just added you. Sykes what's your Steam name?

Patch is out fixing a load of bugs. Azazel has taken a huge nerf too apparently.

Oh no, does that mean I missed the greed mode IV bag expoit?

I did find a bug yesterday, went into a secret room, and the door vanished:

Same as on here.

Edmund seems to have taken The Lost getting revealed by dataminers last year badly, so we all have to suffer for it. Azazel has gone from being one of the best characters (If not the best) to being one of the worst, with a longer charge time and much less damage. Lilith's item is now a four room charge instead of two so that's worse and some other stuff seems to have been nerfed for the sake of it too.

So that's nice.

That's a crappy Lillith nerf. I love that item.

Wait why are people kicking off about time gated content? What was missing before now?

I don't really know what's going on tbh. I'm trying not to read up on too much until I've played more as I don't want Afterbirth stuff spoiled for me (I've already seen some stuff

)

EDIT: Oh and Ed just said on Twitter that Azazel wasn't meant to be nerfed so hard. Another bug!

Edmund had a Reddit post about the missing stuff, seems reasonable, bit confused about the storm it seems to have caused, even if it was deliberate, it was not awful, and it was all sorted inside a week

im sure most of you read my tweets explaining what happened with the latest updates addition of missing items. you can believe what you want, but i assure you most of the misconceptions causing issue revolve around stuff i cant address yet as well as random chance and the fact that we probably shouldn't have tossed the update up on he 109 hour when it was done on 108.. we thought we were having fun with your obsession with the number 109 but in the end it imploded and i woke up to the most confusing and jaw dropping barrage of tweets ive ever seen.

the basic facts: (there will some holes that will be filled in on a later blog post )

the missing items were tied to a bug and a few other launch build issues and not at all intended to be missing from the game.
we werent aware of the missing items at all for a few days after launch, thought they werent found yet or locked, it wasnt till i started testing with my debug steam copy that i saw that quite a few items were just gone from the game completely.
i tried to address this without breaking the 4th wall on twitter and even showed 2 items so people knew the game for sure features 120+ but it ended up sending people down another path that i tried to stop by tweeting for people to not assume anything.. but the snowball kept rolling
everyone was off for 2 days after the launch and day 1 patch so there wasnt anything we could do till tuesday.
we had the patch fixed roughly 1-2 hours before we put it up but thought it would be fun to post it on the day associated with the donation machine bug that people seemed obsessed over so people didnt lose interest in exploring the unknown... hoping that people would see the 109 hour as more of a start of something than finish.. but sadly we all know how it ended.
i really didnt care that much about the datamining and honestly dont see it at as an issue at this point.. i like to joke about stuff that ive find annoying or disheartening and it comes through really bad via text.
im not remotely a petty person, i know you dont know me personally but its just not at all something in me.. and i sure as hell wouldnt attempt to strawberry float over a fan base.. i mean gooseberry fool i made this dlc with the fans in mind, 10-15% of the games content was made by you guys.. its just illogical to think i would try to upset or lie to a group of people i reach out to for feedback and ideas.

anyway like i said, the small holes in this story (that i know for a fact more than a few of you know the reasons for) will all be addressed in a postmortem of what i can almost call a social experiment at this point will eventually see the light of day.. one day.

again thanks for those of you who are logical and have become the voice of reason in a few of these threads, you guys give me hope.

i realize that quite a few of you feel slighted by large companies when it comes to content and manipulation.. but not everyone is the devil dudes and sometimes you find what appears to be logical in simple coincidences.
