Vibrant ball + Explosive shots - Dead run

[Stevie Wonder]

unless RNG gods give you a lazer which goes through it....

/tears of joy, run saved.

[Treefingers]

Explosive shots is a dead run imo.

We should base line be immune to our own explosions since so many cool items are bad without immunity to it.

Vibrant ball is disabled on the experimental branch.

yea but its more fun having in items that can hinder your run. No fun if every item in the game is flat out beneficial

[AmAtic]

I was wondering why I kept taking damage from my explosive shots..

Could be a good idea to have a passive that makes you invincible to your own explosions like in isaac
Maybe there already is one and I didn't find it yet

There already is such an item.

Stupidest interaction in a game ever. Let's give you a useless ball whose only purpose is to make one of your UPGRADES actually KILL YOU !

So frustrating. Makes the game not fun. Remove vibrant ball please.

[Axelroth]

The only time i managed it was with the big daddy upgrade who basically makes you invulnerable to explosions.

But yes it's annoying

[Cynic Warfare]

Literally came to the discussions to see if anyone else hated this. Nearly every run I get this lol

I hear vibrant ball is going away next patch. The game will instantly be much better for it. An item that spawns consistently every run (just got 3 of them in one run and died to it too) and is a run ender with many of the items in the game. Just picked up and item you consider to be one of the best in the game? This randomly spawning pet you have no control over obtaining will ruin it all for you and render it useless. Many people including the devs have acknowledged the issue.
Some will try to defend it, in an attempt at blindly defending the game, but it is what it is in its current state: bad design.

I agree, that's all the fun in the binding of isaac when you got Ipecac! Very powerful but risky

[Mr. Meeseeks]

Whats fun in having bad items and not the ability to drop them?

[Appa]

Vibrant ball : worst item in the game.
Delete this pls

[Ta2punk]

I am glad they are reworking it. I am all for items that can hinder your run but I had a run where I got this pet 3 levels in a row and I had Red Dragon and I ended up dying. There needs to be a way to drop pets or maybe spend crystals to send them back to egg form for a chance at a different pet.
