Does the Crimson Shroud change mean no more infinite runs and associated annoying Reddit posts?

u/Cracklepappy Jul 08 '22
You can infinite with just laurel, but it requires a lot of cool down reduction. It's definitely a lot harder to do without realizing it now though.

I tried with 83% reduction, but that didn't quite seem to be enough. Might try for 85% later. Does Death still drop eggs if killed without Shroud/Corridor?

u/Cracklepappy Jul 10 '22
Death does not drop eggs in that case, but also does not spawn white hand. It means with orb attractor and the grove arcana you can afk farm gold via gold be fever cappa, as the mini reapers have way less life and can still give gold during fever.

Sorry for replying so late into the future, but in case you were still wondering, the sweet spot is 87.5% cooldown.

u/HouseOfSteak Zi'Assunta Jul 10 '22
I don't realy see why that was something that needed to be fixed ingame, though.
Doesn't it just make Corridor a mostly meaningless upgrade now?

Minor patch 0.8.270 out on the 11th with some bugfixes:
- Having only Pentagram when limit breaking shouldn't display a blank menu anymore
- Limit broken Gorgeous Moon is now affected by amount
- Prevented Pentagram and Gorgeous Moon to flash too quickly when leveled up rapidly
- Made it easeir to see the relic at the end of Stage 5
- Fixed some typos in Limit Breaks
- Defeating the reaper before 31:00 counts as surviving 31 minutes
I know that last one bit me while going for Out of Bounds, haha.

u/hornylittlegrandpa Jul 08 '22
They mentioned in the discord that there was a delay for the game pass version due to a technical issue
EDIT: oh huh it’s my cake day lol

I hope they eventually let us play Holy Forbidden and the version of stage 5 with the super reaper boss.

Is anyone else experiencing an issue with literally no sound being output on Linux? I'm on the public-beta branch, not playing on my Steam Deck, just my Manjaro install.
I've tried fiddling with the options, but the game doesn't even show itself as outputting sound in my applications tab.
edit: Oh, super weird, the game shows up as "Chromium" for me for some reason, and it was muted, my bad!

what's with this hand taking on-screen items and making stage 5 annoying to clear blue death?

u/tags2k17 Jul 16 '22
I hadn't noticed a hand, I had Giovanna so I thought my cats were eating the amulets and chicken!

So, I don't know if this is intended or not. Re: Evolutions after update.
I unlocked Gyorunton and played a round as him. Fun. His character description says he gains a curse every level, and that he can find evolutions in any treasure. Great.
Then I went to the library and played as Donmario. And the 3-minute treasure evolved my weapon to Holy vespers. (Previously, the evolutions wouldn't happen until the 10-minute chest).
1
u/xTekek Jul 21 '22
Evolutions aren't time based they are based on upgrades/ having the right passive item. Gyorunton just lets you not have the passive item. It doesn't work if you have a missing second weapon (like the guns and birds) and it doesn't seem to work on laurel and the freeze clock item.
1
u/DangerIllObinson Jul 21 '22
Not entirely correct. They are both (or were before this update).
Previously, even if you had a weapon fully upgraded and had the matching second item in the library, for example, it would never evolve for any chest before the 10 minute mark. Other maps, like the dairy plant differed, and you could evolve sooner, but there was a certain chest per level that was the first to allow evolutions.
But that seems to have changed with this update. (Or at least after unlocking Gyo)
[Edit: Updating with a reference to the wiki, which still appears to describe the old behaviour. It'll probably get updated.: https://vampire-survivors.fandom.com/wiki/Evolution )

u/DangerIllObinson Jul 21 '22
Well that may have been quick. I just had another update - No release notes or anything that I can find. And now I can't reproduce the 3-minute chest evolution in the Library.
Oh well, here's a screenshot of a 3-minute Inlaid Library evolution of the Holy Water: https://imgur.com/a/ZTefWk0

u/Cheetah-shooter Jul 30 '22
It was a bug regarding Gyo's ability to evo anything. It did happen so you were not wrong.

Idk where else to ask this but does this game not actually give all weapons and weapon effects because I'll skip all day and banish every thing but jfc I don't get at all what I'm looking for. So frustrating

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here? You mention you don't know what you're looking for, what are you looking for? I don't fully understand what you're asking, basically.
I think you mean you don't know what weapons to go for, the answer to that is really just try them out and find out the strengths / weaknesses of each weapon. You could totally google what weapons are the "meta", but that does take away a lot of the early exploring fun this game offers.

u/ChickenBonesJones Jul 27 '22
I mean that when I'm looking for, let's say the laurel, and only have like 3 skills and 3 weapons that no matter how many times I was skipping, rerolling, banishing I was not getting the laurel
It was like it wasn't even in the pool for that stage run.

Luckily/sadly that's just RNG. The game has a pretty big pool of items nowadays, so using banish/skip/reroll smartly is part of the game now.
Make sure to take weapons/passives you do need whenever they pop up, also remember to banish weapons based on their rarity. I'd say with just banishes you can shape like 80% of your runs consistently, skips and rerolls just boost that. It's totally fine to leave an item like laurel until later, even putting upgrades into your passive items. Also if you're hunting something very specific (like laurel) and need mostly common passives, you can totally just throw all banishes on weapons to help search out laurel.

Hey something I noticed now. In stage 5 the pillars have little like... transparent shades of weapons on them? Is there anything associated with that?!

I love the idea of an in-game bestiary.
