Egocentrism is actual trash

[RedEssence]

New lunar that turns your current items into it, because of this its actual trash

I had 7 stacks and it couldn't kill a single beetle guard on its own, after it had taken my void items and multiple of my damage up white items

Its actual trash why would you add this

They should buff it either by just straight up giving actual functional damage, or make it only take certain items

Or just give us a lunar item that doesnt kill us because it stole YOUR ONLY SURVIVABILITY ITEM

Bought it because "ya'know, new item might aswell check it out"

I recommend only taking this item if you want to lose your run, because something I've learned from putting 320 hours in this game is that a balanced set of items will give way more consistent wins

[Heartbreaker]

It's awful, I agree. I think it's an item made for specific characters in really long, multi-hour runs where people have hundreds of items. Otherwise I don't think it's ever worth it.

[Dats me]

It's like shrine of order, but not fun at all(although it may work with it)

[Hollow]

Yeah, I really hate this item.

So far it's the worst Lunar item added to the game. I think it might at least be a little balanced if the damage scaled with the player level, or something like that.

In it's current form, it's entirely worthless and only hurts the player. Never worth taking.

its great for converting items into lunars for use with a cleansing pool, the new stage two as far as ive seen is 100% assured to have one as well

[betasprite]

Now there's an angle I hadn't thought of. If you have Egocentrism, you could use a cleansing pool a bunch of time for pearls. Still, I'd rather have the certainty of whatever I had already been putting together.

It's terrible but extremely funny so I'm glad they added it. I'm sure there's a niche situation with cleansing pools where it's good. I guess its the devs way of helping you get the irradiant pearl logbook entry.

[Xherdos]

it feels like a Dropkick to the guts.

[NewbieKit]

got it once today, and it turned my legendary items into Egocentrism........
I dont think you can maintain Egocentrism without using Sacrifice

[Terotrous]

Yeah, I agree, it's by far the worst item in the game. There's no situation where I'd ever consider using it.

I think it could be fine if it stole an item maybe every 2-3 minutes, but 1 minute is WAY too fast.

[RNG_Wizard]

It has two really great uses.

As mentioned before, it's perfect for cleansing pools. Seeing how it's already a close-range damage dealer, trading a couple counts of the item for a large health boost is usually great - it's already a natural choice on characters like Loader or Mul-T who will benefit greatly from the HP and the close range damage.

If your build is outright useless thanks to bad luck, it gives you damage. Not a lot of damage, but it's guaranteed damage which is sometimes exactly what a build needs.

It is good? Conditionally, and I think that's perfect for a Lunar item. You definitely don't want it when you already have a good build, but if your build is already a mess, it's not a bad pickup.

[Extremely Rare Sigma Gurdy Champ]

If you're having a bad run this item won't save it and there's plenty of lunars that can actually save a bad run. Maybe if the item could only convert 50% of your inventory or all items except white items it could be interesting but as of right now it's simply way to much risk with no real payout.

Lunar items have always been optional in every single aspect. There have always been lunar items that will actively kill your run. If the item doesn't apply to you, don't pick it up. What's wrong with that?

There has never been a lunar that killed runs as fast as this one

I died within 7 minutes of picking it up because it stole all of my surviability, the only situation where its ok is IF you find a cleansing pool, which is an incredibly rare scenario (in my 320 hours i've only seen 5 pools)

No other lunar is ever a garenteed run killer, this is pretty much a run killer garenteed unless you are playing command sac to keep up with item consumption

[Poop Lord, Lord of Poop]

Repeat after me:

Lunar items are meant to be weird, imbalanced, and possibly run-ending.

I personally find it hilarious. Desperately grabbing up items only for them to be absorbed into the fold.

[Richard Roe]

I'd love it if not for the fact it's too fast on the drain rate maybe convert 2 items at the start of every stage then it would be managable

This feels like a case of effigy of grief where the first version sure was unique but counter acts itself with it's own gimmick
