GOD FUCKING DAMN IT WHY DO I PLAY THIS

>>381287068
how do you like the flagellant anon?

>>381287068
Because you like getting your best character crited 3 times in a row and getting him into death's door and surviving endless vollys of attacks only for him to die of a heartattack

>>381287068

you have low standards and are easily addicted to grind simulators

Beats me I just uninstalled it.

I can deal with wipes and losing all of my money and progress but somehow having my party surprised in the first hallway, before I'd even entered the first room, and being unable after five turns to move everyone back into place turned my sperg rage dial up to eleven.

The game's significantly more bearable when you use cheat engine's speedhack function to speed up all of the fucking minutia and tedium. There's no reason everything should take 5 seconds.

>>381288052
but why not just git gud and enjoy the game?

People who wipe don't bother creating proper team synergy. Then run into every dungeon with the same classes and trinkets. I can't watch people stream this game. They'll run into the ruins with a bleed heavy team.

oh....ok

>>381288208

speedhacks just turn it from a fucking atrocious game to a pretty bad one

they don't fix the shallow gameplay nor the fact that the game is still all about grinding the same few dungeons until your numbers get high enough to finish the game

>>381289009
Sounds to me like you don't enjoy playing the game or something.

I haven't dealt with any wipes on this playthrough. Getting good isn't the problem. I wasn't having any problems, it was going great.

But with how my characters were taking turns I literally could not fucking move my crusader and hellion back up front while an acolyte, courtier, and madman spammed stress attacks on everyone until they were up to 50 stress from zero before I'd entered the first fucking room. I was paralyzed, none of my heroes could do anything and I was going crazy.

>>381289069


yeah cuz it's shit


>they still haven't fixed the retarded hunger mechanic

>>381289130
The old chinese fire drill bullshit doesn't happen as much later in the game once you upgrade your armor.

Just a heads up, that Crocodile in the first Courtyard CC mission was buffed.

It heals bleed and blight when it enters the water

this fucking humiliation conga line, i had to take a break from losing so many heroes in such a short time

Is this game considered difficult? I have only moderate experience with dungeon crawlers.

It seems to me all you need to do is get 2-3 (incase one dies) vestals and focus on upgrades/items that get their healing up. Keep one in every party. The rest is just risk analysis and finding good class combos.

>>381289931
It's not hard if you know what you're doing but the RNG will completely fuck you over and there's nothing you can do about it.

>>381287068
Because you are full of confidence, and we all know where it leads...

would you recommend the game at its current price on steam?

>>381289772
Are there not different versions of the new wandering bosses, like with the Shambler?

>>381290405
10 dollars is a good price.

RNG daddy be goo to me

>>381290405
If you're a masochist then sure why not.

Just keep in mind that even if you do everything right you'll still see your progress burn in front of you.

>>381289185
What's wrong with it?

>>381290723
No. The only new wandering boss is the fanatic. There are 3 bosses in the courtyard location along with 2 miniboss type enemies plus a whole faction of mosquito vampire men.

>>381288052
Never play real roguelikes and dorf fort, bud.

>>381287068
ok, so what is the best way to start this shit?
just toss guys into the meat grinder and upgrade the estate? im figuring getting attached to anyone is a dumb thing since anyone can die from stupid RNG shit

>>381290723
The Fanatic is the new wandering boss, works like a mobile Hag where he starts by burning someone alive while whittling everyone else down with weaker attacks

New to the game, having trouble managing heroes. Like my favorite crusader is chock full of negative traits now, so do I dismiss him even though he's a little leveled up? When do you let a hero go and replace them with a new one?

desu the giant bug slightly aroused me for some reason

>>381291008
pretty much. Screen out the heros in the early game. You don't want bad curio interaction negative quirks, and you want combat focused positive ones. Focus on getting deeds first, and upgrade the carriage asap. Roster size first, then more heroes each week. After the first 3 weeks, you'l fall into a groove

idk how people wipe in this game, if the rng takes a bad turn just retreat

you probably already made even from loot by the time that happens in any dungeon if you have a minimum of planning

I think most crying ive seen about this game over 2 years is just people who think things will magically fix themselves when they got a few unlucky crits and 2 afflictions or deaths door

>>381290405
isn't the game on sale right now? like a whole 50%?

>>381288224
>ive restarted like 4 times
>restarting in a game with no game over and infinite resources

>>381291008
You will have to get attached to your heroes. All upgrading the estate does is enable you to upgrade them. You'll spend so much money improving their skills and gear, carefully parsing through positive and negative quirks until you have ones you want. You'll spend so much time and effort getting the best trinkets for them and working out which other heroes they work best with.

Then you'll watch them die, one after another, and you'll have to start the process again and again until you've finally got your perfect team completed, ready to embark for the final dungeon (where they will also die).

>>381291032
Usually before they get to this point. If you really want to keep him, then send party members you don't care on runs, dismiss them, and spend the cash on your crusader.

>>381291008
Don't just throw people into the meat grinder. You'll need some of those guys to kill bosses, or do long dungeon runs. But you're right about not getting attached to anyone.

>>381291032
Negative quirks that stops people from doing things in town aren't that bad, but shit that takes control from you like Kleptomaniac, and stat debuffs must be removed ASAP.

>>381291032
Try running through the warrens and cove a few times, both contain curios that can purge negative quirks.

>>381287647

>>381291453
I agree. I have never had any character deaths that didn't come from me pushing the limits or from times when I simply didn't care if they lived or died.

The retreat button and the fact that you get to keep estate upgrades are what make the game noobie friendly.

>>381291887

Is this game still hard for the sake of being hard?

Not big on direct damage, but his fat bleeds and heals really lets you turn the tide

>>381289931
It's a pleasant but challenging experience. Preplanning your parties and gear to better fit the areas gives you a sizable leg up against the RNG

>It seems to me all you need to do is get 2-3 (incase one dies) vestals and focus on upgrades/items that get their healing up
Damage mitigation through stuns and quickly killing problematic enemies is much better than trying to heal through the damage and stress

Occultists and the new Flagellant also can throw out enormous heals while being more useful in combat than she is

>>381291473
>isn't the game on sale right now? like a whole 50%?

MAN I SURE AM HAVING A FUN TIME PLAYING DARKEST DUNGEON, THIS EDGINESS IS MUCH BETTER THAN XCOM WHERE YOU SLOWLY GROW ATTACHED TO YOUR TEAM. I LOVE THROWING MEMBERS AWAY TO GET MONEY. IT'S LIKE I'M THE BAD GUY.

Most skills can be useful in a comp that works well with them. At the start, when money is low, pick four that you like for each hero, that fill in with the comp you will usually send them with. As you start to get more and more money, you can level up more and more skills.

PROTIPS FOR ENJOYING DARKEST DUNGEON

install the mod that rebalances trinkets (broken atm)
install the mod that lets you stack items higher
install the mod that removes negatives from trinkets
play on radiant mode to reduce grinding
save scum by keeping a folder with old saves, replace twice (i.e. again after load from backup once) when a run goes south
