Fuck you /v/, it's nearly time.
Do you have any idea how excited I've been waiting for this piece of shit DLC? And it's almost here, just a few more fucking hours.

I haven't even beat the base game, I stopped because I heard this was coming out, holy shit I've got so much content to go through.

I have heard relatively little about the new update.
I hope it has music as good as the Cove.

I'm excited. I liked the original. Played at launch through a few full games, but they've added a lot since then (Cove, Town Events, Vvulf, etc).

Should be good times. Do yourself a favor and don't look up anything, it ruins the game thoroughly to know the party metas and best compositions.

Except it's exactly the opposite. It made it shorter, not easier. Most of the mechanic that were making it too long or required heavy grind have been reworked, but the overall difficulty stays the same.

So for some fucking reason I lost the corvid trinket alongside 4-5 other trinkets for no reason

Argueable.
>More Power Leveling flexibility: Heroes of up to Level 4 may enter Novice dungeons. Any hero may enter a Veteran or Champion dungeon.
Removes grind, but also lets you used overpowered champions to trivialize dungeons.

As if getting XP wasn't already easy enough.

Just why. Hunger was never a problem.

Yea, no way you're not a Red Hook employee. They've added classes, items, dungeons and enemies in free updates. The base game is $11 on G2A, so you're literally paying almost the cost of the game for a small addon.

I'm not saying it isn't worth $10, but stop acting like they're fucking saints for having a minor DLC cost a relatively small amount of money.

I tried the game when I was at a friends place and loved it but the fact that you can get a near impossible to win ratio dice roll even if you got a decent team makes the game seem unappealing.

Is there a way to "grind" the lowest tier shit and greatly increase the chances of survival or is there a linear progression that makes it unavoidable to be thrown into the higher tiers?

My memory isnt perfect since it was pretty much at launch that I played it.
There were too many times where you got intercepted and the enemy struck first or something killing my party that had worked perfectly fine up until that point.
Same enemies as before but it was the combination of them striking first, me always missing and their debuffs always sticking that essentially gave my good party a 99% chance to fail from the start of the battle.

"lmao you should have had twice the health pool on all characters" doesn't seem like a good reason to why I lost.

I dont mind tough games but the fact that you can have a good party get flagged with a such a high chance to fail from the get go due to things beyond your control is just meh.

Fucking love the art design and everything else but it just strikes me as a bit extreme.

I think it's fair. Things can go your way as much as not.
Truly challenging AI in video games is yet non-existent. At best, it's tedious like in Dark Souls.
RNG can make a game challenging by being unpredictable, which I could say is realistic too.
Unpredictability should always factor into any venture.

The Vampires seem to be a new type simply called "Vampire." There is also a "Bloodsucker" type.

>>381076628
>>381076823

Yes, the musician for the game confirmed there will be new tracks.

There will even be new cutscenes, like you get at the end and beginning of the regular game.

>>381078037

Right before you're about to nut, but after you can stop yourself from nutting.

Probably really effective. Skeletons have no blood, so you can't bleed them (or at least you're not supposed to be able to) while these monsters have tons of blood in them.

As for the gamepla it's a turn based dungeon crawler. Pretty damn enjoyable for me, although it gets grindy and repetitive. One important thing about it is that from time to time you WILL fail. You have to get used to it, no sense rage quitting over it. Many people claim that it's an RNG bullshit where nothing depends on you, but this really isn't true. At the beginning it may seem so, but if you actually know what you're doing you can really turn the odds in your favour. It's actually very satisfying when you finally learn how to play good and just obliterate those low level dungeon you used to have trouble with.

Only the heir is a descendant. The adventurers are just goons from all over the place.
>>
>>381080989
Then this isn't for you. There's basically nothing in the story you can influence. It's just 60-80 hours of grinding and then watching some cutscene about how all of it was completely pointless.

The journal entries you can find, the one about the Shambler I think, implies that at least some of that group of heroes were descendants, and it would be weirdly inconsistent if it were just them and no others.

I think the heroes are already too many with the roster limits.
You can't even have 2 of each in a full roster.

What the game needs is even more dungeons.
Or better yet more types of missions.
So it won't feel so repetitive.

Then you'd abandon literally everything on a torchless run because the stress is unmanageable without stalling.

>Nobody forces you to do anything
hurr no one forces you to play the game either, dipshit. Dragging battles out instead of finishing them quickly should never be the optimal way to play, but the development team is incompetent and made stalling the only way to heal outside of camp.

Reinforcement should arrive more quickly.

Torchless runs should be stressful and almost impossible. That's fine as is. Maybe a little bit more stressfull either. You shouldn't return from torchless runs sane and safe.

Not really, since that doesn't actually address the problem that people are trying to cheese. I guess you're just as idiotic as the developers

>Torchless runs should be stressful and almost impossible
No, they shouldn't be. You're trading extra challenge for extra loot, but "almost impossible" is fucking retarded. They're already an RNG shitfest that rely on lucky scouting. If you remove stalling you might as well just make it a straight difficulty slider and remove the illusion of risk vs. reward, since there won't be any reward.

It would be cool if they made the characters more varied, like during the kickstarter phase they suggested a system of their individual personalities and relationships they build with other characters affecting the game. Would be pretty cool. Like, one hero may hate another and when they're in a party together they get debuffs and may refuse to heal and buff each other, while heroes who do like each other very much may get big buffs for being in a part together, but a chance to sacrifice themselves to save their friend and big stress gains when they get hurt. Kind of similar to how afflictions work in a sense that it gives a chance to partially lose control over your character

I still think they should make a "The Descendent" hero as a kind of stand in for the player, maybe some kind of buffing class with some fun utility but not overpowered.

You could skirt the whole death mechanic by having the character queerishly revive a week or so after he dies, maybe with some grevious malus and at a universal stress cost to all of your other heroes.

49 is still a greater amount than the number of different shitposts guys like you come up with.

I have a really difficult history with this game. I am a fool for the aesthetics and the assets.
But then, I could never get far into it without getting turned away by the grinding, mixed in with unlucky wipes.

Also, I am really disappointed at how weak the modding community for this is. There are quite some added classes, but almost none are updated for current versions.

It feels kinda hollow, that this is one of my favorite games as a concept, but I never put in much time. Maybe I will be able to change that with this.

Enemies as hard as normal mode, but a lot of reduced cost to several thing (hero lvl up faster, buildings cost lower, facilities are cheaper, trinkets are cheaper, you get more loot). Still the same aspect like in normal mode for minimising rng.

The game is about minimizing damage when shit goes wrong.

You're obviously making bad decisions if you think you're entirely at the mercy of RNG. Because you aren't, ENG plays a part, but it's by no means the deciding factor in DD.

The fact that you're complaining about RNG means you're bad.
The opposite of bad is good. So get good.

Yeah, good thinking.
>>
>>381103880
Leper was my most used character thorough my last playthrough and he hardly ever got shuffled, while at the same time obliterating everything that stood on his way. Hellion is obviously a valid pick as well, but she doesn't have the same damage potential and is more squishy. If you think that a party member which can one shot every enemy except bosses is not worth it because he *might* get shuffled, which is an effect that is used relatively rarely, can be easily resisted and even if it happens you can return him to position in max 2 turns is not worth it, you're the one that might be retarded.
>>
>>381104502
Why are you talking about speed? Even with speed items a leper will almost always move last. His strengths are tankiness and insanely high damage output. This is like you saying you're sacrificing damage on a Vestal. Just use your brain a little bit.

>implying dots slow down the game.

Also, yes, not having dot or stuns puts the Leper in a bad place when most front row enemies have
good prot and medium stun resist

Im not saying he is plain shit, he is just very mediocre when you put it against other front row heroes since the Leper is a hog and cant work too well on his own.

At least one thing the game does well is being able to use all of the heroes rather effective even when some of them are better that others in they own roles.

The shrieker usually steals some items, even those you have "safely" stored in the hamlet

You will get a quest to recover them though (And it doesn't expire so you can take it when you are ready)
>>
>>381106657

Even if you defeat him once? How many times I gotta fight him? I destroyed both the nest and the Shrieker
>>
>>381106427

He still helped her, then shunned her when he felt she had gone off the deep end. How ironic.
>>
>>381106805
The Shrieker, unlike Vvulf, keeps returning.
>>
>>381106376
I honestly can't remember.
For the second mission I'm sure there was also Man at Arms to protect the party member without the special trinket. That makes him and leper in the front row, and some healer and someone else in the back
For the third one I think I had a Hellion in front row as well as the Leper, to maximize damage output. It worked out, because I slew through everything before it managed to seriously hurt me once or even try to teleport me(I actually only found out there was a teleporting mechanic in this mission afterwards). Despite how big it was, I didn't have to camp even once.
For the last one, I'm sure I also had a houndmaster in the backline and an Occultist, since I prefer his heals to Vestal's. Don't remember who the fourth party member was, quite possibly Bounty Hunter.
>>
>>381106913

Then, there goes my plan of collecting all the trinkets
>>
>>381107350
Just let him steal some and wait with reclaiming them until the stolen ones are the only ones you miss.

>>381108280

Well to be honest after you upgrade the hamlet you are going to have over 200+ heirlooms
>>
>>381107621
These seem rather like some sort of construction plans, seeing that you need only one of them for each renovation
>>
>>381105875
They are suited for a slow playstyle. Direct damage will outperform dots in every dungeon that isn't Cove.

This. The numbers probably just that high because they coded some in for game testing purposes.
>>
>>381108453
>Vvulf
Leader of the Brigands and invades the Hamlet as a Town Event. If you ignore him he destroys some of your building upgrades. If you kill him he's gone forever and drops a Trophy trinket.

>Antiquarian
A class that can find valuable, stackable items in curios throughout dungeons and from enemy loot that are used for selling. Outside of that she's incredibly weak in terms of damage and support. Has a camping skill that produces a random trinket out of thin air, can be any standard quality (no boss trinkets for example). She exists to make you lodsemone.
>>
>>381108453
Antiquarian is somewhat subpar in combat but increases your gold stack size and finds special antiques when she interacts with curios that sell for a decent price after the mission

Vulf is a town event boss mission where if you skip it he destroys a town upgrade. Pretty tough mission with hard hitting bandits. His fight plays like a harder version of the X-pounder boss fight.

The game is too RNG relying, yes it's part of the "hardcoreness" but bad RNG can ruin your runs. Most people who play trough this game just meatgrind their characters until they get a good team.

So when the game says that "Radiant" difficulty is the best for your first DD experience do they mean it? Or should I just go with Darkest / Normal
>>
>>381110227
Start with Darkest/Normal. Radiant is for whiners who want a dumbed down experience.
>>
>>381109927
Stab is nice finisher on those enemies that you couldnt outright kill, you can successfully run a blight party with her in the cove, protect me is really solid, get down is good insurance from shuffling, and the dodge buff is decent stacked with other dodge buffs and/or acc debuffs on the enemy. Flash powder is her only worthless move.

Shes all utility no bite. Sub par in combat but if youre not a shitter you csn easily make her work and rake in the dosh.
>>
>>381110227

It's less grindy and gives you the chance to muscle through the RNG by making stronger characters more available. It doesn't change enemy stats or anything and makes the game a bit shorter. No reason not to try it.
>>
>>381110227
Are you ready to play for a 100 hours and grind limited content? If yes, play normal, otherwise radiant.

It's really pick your poison now. Gambling Hall is still probably the worst though. Although there's a new positive quirk called Gambler that gives you a chance to get rewards from going there. Otherwise everything has the potential to give you a negative quirk associated with that type of stress relief.

>>381121791
that was true, but not after his first buff, and definitely not after this recent buff.

the damage he can deal when properly buffed puts the Hellion to shame. He can reliably one shot enemies in Champion, which no other class can, and that's hugely useful.

>>381121280
Stagecoach and sanitarium are more important to start followed by the guild then blacksmith. Gotta get as many grunts into the meatgrinder and gotta lock in those good quirks before they get replaced by better scouting in the area you cant really take that class in.

He is a great class for bosses who can't move you, especially if you need to kill adds in a single turn. With trinkets that buff how much he heals he can be an extremely good meatshield, and move recistance trinkets balance his biggest weakness.

It's handy when your hard hitters are busy with the front row and by taking blight damage, getting hit up the next turn, and then taking more blight damage, the back slots are dead by the end of the second turn.

Like >>381122689 said, Plague Doctor can usually singlehandedly kill both enemies in the back after 2 turns. She is also great for all bosses that don't have extremely high blight resistance, or like 3 attacks per turn because of how blight damage and duration stacks.

I, like most people was fooled by this game's initial promises and bought it on Early Access release. The game does a good job of making itself look shiny, mostly by virtue of the narrator. However after even a few hours, that novelty wears off and leaves you with the game itself. And the game does not fare even that well.

Darkest Dungeon is a casual farming game in which you make obvious best choices and grind out effortless victories. The game is littered with newbie traps, with skills and even entire classes being obviously useless. Most of what is presented as legitimate options actually are not. Common newbie traps are using the Tavern at all (leveling it slows skill grinding, meaning you have less accuracy and complain of RNG more oh and they lose trinkets) and not understanding that something like 80% of the curios in the game are just the FTL "Giant Alien Spiders" event with a different skin. Blue option, opt out, or screw yourself. Those are your options. Of course "Giant Alien Spiders" had broken risk/reward on purpose, as that quest was deliberately implemented as a means of punishing those who blindly accept quests without reading their descriptions. Here, it renders nearly the entire non combat exploration mechanic irrelevant because once you understand curios are just a 3 step chart there's nothing left but walking around and fighting.

The entire non combat mechanics of this "game":

1: Is the curio always safe? If yes, 4. If no, 2.
2: Is the curio always safe with a specific item that you currently have? If yes, 4. If no, 3.
3: Ignore it and keep walking.
4: Check it, using item if necessary.

It is worth mentioning at this point that "Town Events", a feature that Kickstarter rules require be in at release but was not and has instead been delayed twice and counting have repeatedly been described and they sound just like these curios, but in town and they trigger after a run. For emphasis - copy pasting one thing repeatedly with various skins takes at least several months, and will be yet another mechanic you simply ignore or follow a basic decision tree that has no situational awareness because such a skill is simply not required here.

The combat, amusingly enough actually fares worse than the non combat. Remember how the vast majority of "options" are newbie traps? Well the ones that aren't consist of damage spam - that is, loading your team with the highest damage (a process that involves stacking several members of the same class, generally Hellion), as well as accuracy and speed and just exploding everything before it can move. Which was easily possible. Should you try being "tactical" or "different" by using any of the other abilities that exist in the game such as stuns, damage over time (bleed/poison), buffs, debuffs, movement effects etc you will be actively punished for your efforts as all of those abilities are mathematically nonviable both compared with the enemies, and compared with the abilities that are actually good. This is so prominent I've specifically praised other games as "anti Derpest" for having a range of viable tactical abilities, in particular bleeding and poison effects that are relevant parts of the tactical metagame.

Not only is the difficulty and balance entirely lacking, but the variety is as well. By the time you have done a single run in each level 1 area you have seen almost every enemy in the game. The only ones you have not are most of the mini bosses (like Ghoul, Swinetaur...) that start appearing at level 3, and the actual bosses. Everything after that point, including the level 3 and 5 bosses is just a copy paste of what you've already encounters and further those mini bosses and bosses do not change the combat formula at all.

If it summons, you spam AoE and kill the summons for free then single target the boss.

If it has a shared lifebar you spam AoE as that deals the highest net damage.

If neither is true you spam single target, generally on rank 3 or 4 (where the boss is).

None deviate from this formula, and further none have high enough stats that they last very long. Even bosses are barely capable of mathematically surviving 2 rounds. So as you can probably imagine, any mechanic based on 2 rounds, or 3 rounds, or more is fundamentally flawed not only for them not numerically being worth using, but for the fight flat out ending before any situation in which they could hypothetically be useful can exist. This also invalidates many skills and even entire classes, anything based on marking I'm looking at you. Some of the whole enemies not being functionally different is a direct factor of the class imbalance, it doesn't much matter if your AoE fodder looks like a skeleton or a pig, and it doesn't much matter what they will do if they get an action because they will not get an action. Most of it however is a separate problem. There's only a few things enemies can do, they're only using a small subset of those things so everything feels the same.

Now what I describe is the game as it existed Feburary 3rd-Feburary 6th of 2015 however over a full year later the formula has not changed, not even slightly. If anything everything I said is more true now than it was then. Power creep has handed out more, and greater, and more common direct damage bonuses while non direct damage abilities have actually been nerfed by the patch that allegedly buffs them (July 15th of last year). It also buffs everyone's base damage. A standard damage spam character now does 23-44 single target and 10-19 single target and 5-9 AoE - or the same damage but against 1 enemy at a time instead of 3. That is how much the massive and many direct damage buffs have made a difference - and it's worth noting they did eventually fix AoE math so that it's actually sane, but as you can see the power creep is hardly checked at all (under the old math AoE spam would be 18-33... which is significantly higher but AoE still got a large net buff over time).

One can simply find any week 1 video of the game and if the maker had a clue they were stacking Hellions and spamming damage in a dark run. This still accurately reflects the modern game, even though you will have a hard time finding people aware of the game's true nature that didn't simply leave in Feburary of last year. Instead you get people that can't math, and nonsarcastically insist that low damage abilities with a high chance of failure (damage over time) or worse, abilities that literally have a single digit percent chance of doing something even when they work (debuffs) are not only worthwhile uses of actions but are better than killing the screen before it moves.

It's important we understand here Red Hook recieved overwhelming feedback regarding these and many other complaints from a large number of early adopters including myself that balance/content/difficulty was entirely lacking, and that each and every one of those complaints was entirely ignored, all critical feedback, or indeed anything other than mindless, unconditional praise and promotion was discarded. Most of those people looking for a hardcore Roguelike realized they wouldn't get it here very early and forgot about the game. Likewise, many of the non hardcore sorts forgot about it after a few days and moved on, picking the next shiny thing. I, being the fool that I was did not, as I still believed in the game's potential even if it was not being realized.

Turns out fixing the broke math and balance in the game was pretty easy and required no real technical knowledge, just common sense and system analysis ability, both of which I have. Fixing the lack of content is beyond the scope of modding, but making the existing content more distinct (instead of every enemy in every area basically being the same, just A has a skeleton skin and B has a pig skin and C has a shroom skin and so on) was also quite possible.

It's something of a meme in this point that I have 1,337 hours in this game. It's important we understand here that I am reviewing Darkest Dungeon as produced by Red Hook Studios. As such, the time I spent making this a real, deep, balanced game and enjoying that is only relevant in the sense that it shows what could have been if the actual devs had done this. Because the base game was and still is a shallow walking simulator full of obvious choices, the negative tone stands.
