How do you all gain so much money!? I am poor as fuck all the time and I didn't just start playing today. Been playing for a week or two. Always broke as fuck.
Why is my highwayman rambling on about spider trivia?
>>129131652
>/v/'s hero is a waifu with shit tier skill synergy and traits
>/tg/'s hero is minmaxed to fuck
5/5 bretty gud
>>129131596
/dadg/ what the fuck is going on after you beat the darkest dungeon
>>129131938
Going without torches will give you a lot more gold. I wouldn't recommend it until you get some half decent trinkets.
>>129131938
They likely cheese it with *smack lips* suicide squads
>>129131938
Knowing what items to use on what curios will help a lot.
Also general knowledge of the game and level 0 sacrifice.
Focusing stress damage dealers help a lot too,and so do stunning. Try to get an arbalest and a Houndmaster.
>>129132143
ayoooo
This game is shit and anyone who plays it should go back to reddit.
>>129131652
>>129131802
Is it just the name that's different for unique heroes? Or do they get different stats or something?
>>129131938
the game is definitely about snowballing.
you either make enough money to guarantee a well equipped, upgraded, stressless team everytime, or you'll be broke forever.
how to fix it? run some level 1 dungeons with a level 0 suicide squad without overbuying provisions. upgrade price reduction of town stuff so you'll be more efficient in the long run.
huh, the negative reviews are back up on the front page :/ , even Celerity's is there.
>>129131938
Dark Runs, I don't really believe in Suicide Squads.
>>129132238
Here's your (You)
>>129132238
ok
>>129132339
They got pre locked in stat and skills.
Aw yiss, just beat Collector with random team on like 3rd or 4th week
Got gem/crystal/TRAPEZOHEDRON thing
who /girlpower/ here
Just fought my first Shambler.
BROUGHT LOW, INTO THE MUD.
>All this creepy eldritch shit that's been added in the full release
Can't wait to play it.
Does having a Virtue heal you from Death's Door or is that just an Abom benefit?
Dude was just a death's door, growled a bit, and healed
Is the Abomination good? What is a good hero to have to compliment him to offset the added stress of his transformation/the fact pious heroes won't go with him?
>>129132742
Does it work well ? Seems like a well balanced party. You can add a PD instead of the Arbalest for Cove runs but it seems okay actually
>>129133053
Get the trinkets that make the stress lower and don't use the transformation on every fucking encounter and you won't feel the stress that much
>>129133053
Jester - Occult - Abom - Abom
Full on powerhouse squad.
>>129133053
Occultist/Jester/Abomination/Abomination
have fun
>Ocultist heal for a total of 8 HP in 4 rounds
>My Hellion gets critted and death's door with "the finger" and then finished with the bleed
>The first darkest Dungeon boss can resummon the cultist
Team wipe is a bitter feel. Also RIP trinkets.
>>129133021
Occultist has always been there, anon
>>129133296

>>129133305
I'm kind of disappointed that this group isn't called "Brutal Legend".
Rocking the Jester next to abominations.
>>129133053
He just got nerfed today really hard.
Rake deals 40% less damage, and stress heal from transforming into human form for all party members was decreased to 1.
>>129132062
You have to clear the Darkest Dungeon 4 times.
As soon as you clear it the first time - the partial eclipse happens.
With each cleared dungeon - the eclipse progresses.
When the full eclipse happens - the last boss comes.
>>129133560
>When the full eclipse happens - the last boss comes.
What's the last boss?
>>129133543
Fucking hell. I guess he had it coming though.
Thoughts on release version, Anon? I played a torrented copy pre-cove, I enjoyed the art style and the music but the gameplay got repetitive. The Steam reviews and discussion board are scaring me, is DD crap tier now?
How does "Fated" work? If it is just another reroll on the to-hit, doesn't that make it into the easily best quirk in the game?
>>129133543
>Character is good
>Redhook goes 'Strong character?' CAN'T HAVE THAT!
>>129134042
pretty much, if the RNG rolls a miss you get another roll.
>>129133938
It's not crap, but nothing's really been done to fix the repetition. At first, I hated the corpse changes, but the possibility of heart attacks only really comes on really fucked up runs, and corpses can often play into your hands with all the ways you have to manipulate them.
>Nerf abomination
>Going with a hound master now gives you not one but TWO dog biscuits
For what purpose
>Check patch notes
>Bounty Hunter's mark decreases PROT of enemies now
As if he wasn't my favorite class already.
>>129133938
Same guy here, just wanted to ask /dadg/ in case my $ can be spent on other game/devs worth supporting.
>>129134238
dog biscuits got nerfed and now many classes start with free items
>>129132987
I lost my first fight against him since I didn't know what it was, but when i fought it my second time, I got the +25% virtuous chance trinketand then got a full party wipe when i thought I could finish the quest
>>129133938
No.
It's just frustraiting how Red Hook nerfs everything, with every patch your dudes are weaker and weaker, and your strategies might not be viable anymore.
However if you love the art and atmosphere, then it just got way better with today's release.
>>129134271
>using your BH to mark
muh dps
>>129131395
>the letter was a trick
>the food and supplies he's been selling to you we're corrupted
>You are his next vessel
>>129134402
With how valuable Prot% dropping can be against higher-tier enemies, it's a very useful skill. I am disappointed though the Leper didn't get a similar skill or any changes at all really with this patch since it would really improve the Leper as a character to me personally. Some of these other patch notes baffle me however.
>Holy Lance
>Lowered crit chance by 5%
>Removed ability to use in rank 2
>Lowered base crit chance by ~2.5% per tier of Man-at-Arms
For what purpose?
There's already a hotfix update apparently but my steam disconnected
Whats so big about the revelation attack?
There's another update guys
>>129134719
WHAT? link please
>>129134070
He was fairly overpowered, bro. With very little damage up trinkets, I had my abomination dealing up to 40 damage by himself. He's still pretty good too, rake was a nice skill but his other attacks are just as brutal.
>>129134670
Same
>>129134801
Your Steam? But Steam's disconnected for me and >>129134670 s
Special In Game Item: Crest of the 1100
Finally, a special reward to all of you for backing. In game, you can claim an item called the "Crest of the 1100". This item will help you endure the stresses of the underdark. To obtain this trinket:
1. Enter the Hamlet in game
2. Open your Trinket Inventory
3. Press ENTER
4. Type "Crest of the 1100" without the quotes
5. Press ENTER again
6. The trinket will be in your inventory!
>>129134801
I don't have a link myself but while I was playing I alt tabbed and noticed an update was queued for DD.
>>129134938
LITERALLY PAY2WIN GARBAGE
>>129134887
>>129134670
Never midn it's up again. Doesn't mix much, just some audio thing, glitchy text in the settings and language fix.
http://steamcommunity.com/games/262060/announcements/detail/719815027018117143
>>129134938
if you set the item file data away frok "kickstarter" this works for all players
Is it scummy to use that trinket selling gold glitch?
OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK!? EVERYONE WERE HORRORS ALL ALONG
Where's the MERCHANT I WAS PROMISED
>>129135278
Probablybut I don't know what the glitch is.
>>129135278
I didn't think much about it, abusing lvl 0 heroes to get "fast" gold isn't exactly a good or a fun system either.
>>129134938
do you explicitly have to be a backer to get it or can i just punch this in right now
>>129135396
Choose characters that have items on the inventory. Sell items
Like Crusader will bring up Holy Water and you can sell it without having actually bought it in the first place.
>>129135297
MAYBETHEY ARE NOT AND YOU ARE GOING INSANE
>>129133042
Maybe you got lucky and got the virtue that heals for 10% some times.
This game is really fun. I've started really getting into it today and it's hard but manageable. Thing is, my last expedition was really, really bad and Dismas died and the 3 guys with him went insane and fled. Question is, should I just fire the insane guys? They're only level 0 and I'm not sure if they're worth the time needed to heal them. There's a replacement Occultist, Highwayman (both already hired) and Arbalest available in the caravan.
>>129135770
Maybemy Abom ended up dying a few battles later
>>129135889
Just use them for money. If they die, you still get money for them
>>129135889
level 0 characters are literally worthless pawns. Treat them as you would rookies in XCOM
Where is Briar Patch's unique trinket?
More bones return to rest.
>>129135525

Reynauld wasn't with him because he was getting his stress healed.
>>129136316
You say that when inbreds go on about turning off corpses and heart attacks.
>>129129419
By what means? How?
>Go into first mission in the dankest dungeon.
>Vestal, PD, Leper, HellionI don't have any excuses.
>Hellion hits 100 stress early on, went vigorous.
>Room before the boss, Vestal goes fearful.
>Get to boss, feeling lucky.
>Get it down to half health.
>Vestal skips three turns in a row, PD goes masochistic.
>Leper dies to bleed damage after Vestal skips three turns in a row, PD isn't taking heals.
>Hellion is healing herself, bleeds the boss down to 30~ health.
>Vestal and PD have a heart attack at the same time and die.
>Hellion gets boss down to 10 health and dies.The fun is back, I haven't actually had problems in champion dungeons for so long I'd forgotten how tense it can get.

Anyone else having stuttering after some of the recent patches?
I'm probably going to buy this game.
Any starter tips?
you cant send Dismas or Reynauld into the DD until the last mission or you fail the achievement right?
>>129134419
>>129136834
To be fair, the split second thing is part of the Darkest Dungeon's plot shenanigans, where it's implied you're starting to go insane.
>>129136919
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
>raising the price then putting it on "sale" at the original price
this is the most scumbag shit ever
>>129136919
Go play it and find out for yourself, already
>>129131913
That's gonna take a lot of trial and error for me to know what is what in there.
Jacque Ripper is a Leper with Tough and Slugger locked in, if anyone wants him.
Something seems off.
>>129136919
Beginning is tough. Once you'll know the game enough you'll feel much more in control instead of just being RNG's bitch
>>129136919
Don't worry about a few deaths if they're low level and you haven't invested much money in them.
Focus on upgrading the Hamlet early on above all else, Hamlet upgrades never go away and so long as you make progress on that with enough gold for adventuring you're doing good.

Game is not for everyone.Pirate it first to see if you can handle the Stress :^)
>>129137093
It's how all Early Access and Kickstarter games work.
People who support before release get a discount and then price goes up for regular release
>>129137192
I'm assuming this is meant to be something like those brief flicker parts like on the NPCs but this just bugged and stayed?
I just lost my save, 34 weeks in. I had some pretty good heroes there.
Fuck.
>>129137192
>>129131395
>>129137458
As soon as you mouse over the spooky shit disappears
>>129137262
You can do it anon, make it even better than the previous one.
Dismas and Rey, are they immune to the spoop?
>If it bleeds nerfs
Hellion officially shit tier
in case no one's noticed, the jesters stress heal now gives a stress resist buff
what's the name of the /tg/ Crusader? (Not the /v/ Briar Patch)
I got the EA copy and I can't seem to force an update to it. Is anyone else having this problem?
Got an old save thats one year old. Should I use that one where I savedscummed so hard only 1 died(accident) and play the last 2 areas?
>>129138382
Steam? Verify cache and if it doesn't work, restart Steam
>>129138245
>all these pointless nerfs to make characters even worse
Why?
>>129136847
I wasn't overconfident.
>>129138508
To make the game harder obviously. For no real reason whatsoever
so what does revelation do to heroes without the trinket
>>129138508
Dunno desu
And all the characters that needed buffs got nothing
are there patch notes on the tweaks? i want to know what skills changed without massive spoilers
>>129138612
>To make the game harder obviously
>Abom exists
I dunno mang.
>>129138847
I thought he got nerfed
Thanks, Mr Caretaker:^)
Mission complete.
This team worked surprisingly well. Arbalest bandage plus healing specialist built vestal healed a lot of HP.
>>129136919
upgrade stagecoach ASAP
don't get too attached to anyone
there is no shame in retreat
you can send a scouting party to learn what a area or boss is like before you go in with your A team
>>129132742
that is a nice picture anon
Post party comps
I've just been doing Railgun and 3Hellion up til this point but I don't think that's gonna fly now
Plus I want to actually use all types of heroes for this run
>>129139094
The hell I thought the houndmaster was white.
>>129138916
Kinda. The biggest hit he took was from the camping nerf, but honestly that fucked everyone.
>>129139210
You can choose between four different styles for each hero on that their character sheet.
>>129138916
they nerfed his rake damage and his stress heal upon shifting, hardly anything important.
basically, it means you cant run abom without a destresser anymore. both jester and hound master work wonders at removing party stress.
>>129139154
For the first stage of the darkest dungeon, I took
Grave Robber / Occultist / Bounty Hunter / Crusader
Grave Robber : Lunge, knife toss, fade away, poison dart
Occultist: tentacle pull, damage debuff, mark, and heal
Bounty Hunter: Collect bounty, finish him, stun bomb, mark
Crusader: heal, stress heal, melee attack, and either stunning attack or holy lance.
It managed to withstand the first level of the darkest dungeon.
>>129139210
You can change the appearance of your heroes. Go to their character info, look at the bottom left. You can click on the little number there to cycle though 4 variations of the character.
Just ran into my first collector. Let's see how this goes.
>>129139094
glad to see that the person without the Torch didn't die (Who was it? Was it the Puppymaster?)
>>129139597
Phuh. He can be changed to be normal then.
Since you are going to loose alot of folks, then the best choice of action would be :dont upgrade weapons or stuff until later?
>>129139763
dont kill useless heads, like a MAA that protects a head instead of the collector
anyone else getting actual loading times?
Used to be instant in previous builds
>>129138305
Mathias Winfield is the /tg/ guy
there is a jester called Chuckles
>>129139789
The vestal. I usually had the houndmaster guard her, so she wouldn't be hit by revelation, but the scorpion guys only tried to attack her once or twice with it.
What happens if you don't have the torch when hit with revelation?
>>129139892
>Phuh. He can be changed to be normal then.
It wouldn't make sense for my guy to be white though. Since he's a former police officer, I named him "Zimmerman."
>>129139941
on what dungeon?
Apparently the ancestor needs to finish saying his shit during Darkest Dungeon loading screens
>Jester can now use Inspiring Tune in slot 3
Literally all my issues with Jester resolved right here, holy fuck.
>>129139763
>>129139912
Executed with impunity.
i have not played in a while but do all units just chilling in the hamlet get a chance to lower stress now?
>>129140223
REMIND YOURSELF
>>129140297
yeah, they get ~10 stress heal just for not being in those blackened arcades of antiquity
>>129138474
Damn, did both and still nothing. Oh well, guess I'll have to play sometime after I figure out why it's not working.
>>129138382
Try removing local files, and then reinstalling?
i fled from the darkest dungeon, reynauld hade to take the blow. daily reminder reminder that overconfidence is a slow and incidous killer
Why cant I arrange my trinkets anymore? Why do I have to have a jumbled mess?

That was fucking disappointing, basically a THE RIDE NEVER ENDS shit
>>129141428
>The fuck is that skull?
It shows that a character was on death's door, but got off of it. It gives a minor debuff.
If you're on death's door with zero HP, the skull is read instead.
Just finished the 2nd dungeon, going to figure out a team to do the 3rd.
I think I encountered a bug, I succeeded in the second assault, but the dialogue isn't unlocked. And the 1st assault is no longer checked off in the caretaker goals, but the 2nd is.
>>129141189
So wait I'm confused what happens?
>>129141631
you expected to got off Mr Bones Wild Ride?
Holy crap there are more kickstarter characters than I thought there were. For those who give a damn, here are the first eleven characters I've found (well, 8 + 3 found by other anons)
Brair Patch (Plague Doc, made by /v/)
Matthias Winfield (Crusader, minmaxed by /tg/)
Jacque Ripper (Leper)
Joe (Highwayman)
BEAN (Man at Arms)
JRod (Highwayman, backer named John Rodriguez, paragon of creativity)
Rei(Crusader)
Mu (Occultist)
Roy(Highwayman)
Tyr(Crusader, got Fated and Calm)
Aya (Plague Doctor)
Will slug through the rest after sleep.
occultists camping skill now removes 100 torch instead of 14, but also purges the deaths door debuff.
>>129141795
I'd be a lot happier with a NO JOHN YOU'RE THE DEMONS instead.
>>129141792you lock away the ancient evil, but since it can't be destroyed, you need to stay there and guard it.
You can't handle the stress, and kill yourself after sending a letter to another descendant.
>>129141864
Oh, here's one. Faustek, a Prot and HP Buffed Man at Arms.

M-maybe there's a "true ending" for beating it on a New Game Plus?
Running short on guys, will probably have to train some more guys after this run, assuming they survive.
>>129141760
No, I meant the red skull on the pedestal.
>>129142652
I'm going to doubt it. It's just a really boring, predictable ending. Nothing neat at all. Just 'lol guise the evil is always there all along and ps turns out its man too'
i went into one of the secret rooms, and found 5k gold andDismas' head
>>129142724
It's like the quests where you purify something. You got three things, and got to use it on 3 things in the dungeon. Once you give the hand candles to all the alters, your quest is done.
>>129142765
What would be an unpredictable ending to you?
>>129135525
Punch it in, Sebastian Locke is an amazing bounty hunter.
Oh man, this is gay.
The game had a bug, where it forgot I did the first mission after I did the second mission, so now I have to do it over.

This might sound stupid but I would love to see a glimpse of the future . Like every one of the next ancestor guarding till death/suicide. Until the future or modern time. I wonder how that would work
>>129143418
either total failure or total success would be preferable to "endless cycle" shit. I just dislike that kind of stuff unless it's a really cool twist, like in Dragon's Dogma.
>>129143192
Pretty much this. It's Lovecraft in the Middle Ages after all. The eldritch things can never be truly killed.
Hey, how come the game isn't on sale anymore?
An hour ago it was like 19$, and it said on steam that the offer would last til February 2nd. Now it's 24$... What happened?
I kinda want to buy it now, but still want to enjoy the offer.
>>129143418
I'm fine with it except for the cycle bit, it seems forced to pull 'you go insane and it happens again', the rest is a bit predictable but fine for the tone of the game.
>>129143418
Yeah, just make you actually fail no matter what you do. If you're gonna end your movie like a cheap horror movie with 'but the evil couldn't be stopped' then just do away with the pretense and make it win.

There was an email from the DD team not too long ago. The custom trinkets are not in this patch. They will be in the next one.
When it goes live you can open your trinket inv and press enter just as you would to hire the special backer heroes, enter the name and get that free trinket.
Special backer trinket: Crest of the 1100
4chan's custom trinket: Lewd Vial

The Sanitarium can remove quirks and diseases, for stuff like "Hopeless/Paranoid/etc." you just have to put them in some kind of therapy to reduce their stress (bar/gambling/prayer/self-flagellation/etc.)

So the ending is that Humanity is literally cancer and you shoot yourself to free your soul from the eldritch flesh. You then have to guide your descendants (or really any humans at this point) to give the Eldritch Diety periodic heart attacks to keep it in a Coma until humanity won't go nuts gazing at their true form

More or less you can never really defeat it, only sacrifice your life and sanity to continue to delay the end that little bit longer.
Given the kind of game this is there's probably a true ending for beating NG+

X-COM, even TFTD in Superhuman, is MUCH more manageable than Darkest Dungeon.
If you want to, you can just grind Disruptor Pulse Launchers(or Blaster Launchers in the original) give one to everyone(making sure your squad is psi resistant) and then just nuke the final level in one turn.
In this game, no matter how much you grind the RNG can just shit all over your face.
In X-COM avoiding damage is also easier since you can just hide a character out of the line of fire. No such thing in Darkest Dungeon.
Also, a total squad wipe in X-COM is barely a hindrance, since the distinction between a veteran and a rookie isn't that big and you're hardly strapped for cash after a few weeks. X-COM also requires a lot less grind, you can beat it comfortably in ~20 missions while Darkest Dungeon requires at least 73.
Now if you're talking about the new x-com,I agree fuck that game

I can see limiting the number of fights the buffs last for making sense. I was really surprised to see that they lasted "Until next camp" what with how strong they were. I could really see how one could abuse that, and I suppose people did.
To me it makes it feel more like a "We're halfway there, better stop to rest" than it was before.

You can only recruit like 20 or so at the maximum, then no more will come. You just hit Enter and type the hero's name in at the Stagecoach.

Just how important is SPEED? I have no idea how to rate it as a stat.. For example, I have that leper beserk mask and I always wonder.. how good is it? Its a orange item so it must be decent right?
But is 3 crit and 3 speed worth? it lowers his chance to virtue and lowers the amount of healing gotten.
How important is speed?! Also, how the fuck does anyone play this game with NO HEALER in their ranks? SOme classes can't heal at all. Or.. if you don't run a healer, do you just run a bunch of CC?
>>129161995
Its basiclaly now just a 'get closer to the front' skill.
Although a R2/3 Crusader can trade off doing it.
>>129162128
>Also, how the fuck does anyone play this game with NO HEALER in their ranks?
It's possible with speed. You'll kill everything/stun everything before the enemy can badly hurt you.
>>129162128
before food was limited you coudl literally eat your way through most dungeons
>>129161771
So can you only recruit them by typing in their names or can they come randomly?
I missed you guys

>>129162128
Speed determines the turn order, i think each round your heroes roll a dice + their speed.

>>129163550
cause I can complete them without spending anything.
>>129161771
>none of the aboms have any skills.
LOL
>>129162128
Speed is great, if your entire team acts first then you can eliminate a threat or two before they get a turn to react.
Think about it this way: if everyone's speed was infinite, then every turn would be like a SURPRISE! turn. Of course that's an exaggeration, but it's very helpful. Helpful enough that the Legendary Bracer is a piece of shit because of it.
Anyone else LIKE going into the warrens. Fighting pig men is fun and I like being able to use the hound master effectively and bleeding pigs is good. SOme say the diseases in that area make it not worth going to.
Also, does anyone else not even bother touching the curious that have strange happen? Like why would I ever touch this board with fucking knives in it? WHY THE FUCK WOULD I TOUCH THE SKIN STRETCHED BETWEEN TWO STICKS WITH ELDRITCH MARKS ON IT?!
I would much rather just touch this old crate with some basic loot in it. I haven't used the wiki but I know some curious can have a item used on it but the knife board in the warrens and skulls shrine have only ever been bad for me.
Also, what does the blood thirsty negative quirk do?
>>129163697
>Anyone else LIKE going into the warrens

Pigs were easy because you pray for moonshine gods and get 100+ damage bonus on someone
huehue
>>129164102
The Houndmaster's bleed seems to be rather weak compared to the PD's blight.
All of it is just 1hp per tick.
>>129164306
The DOT isnt really important when using houndmaster in the warrens. That bonus damage to the beasts there is the kicker
>>129162975
I prefer stagecoach, tavern/abbey, sanitarium and then blacksmith and guilds, and then the rest.

>>129164662
Wait.. THREE SHOVELS?! For what purpose? 2 is fine.
>>129164581
This is true. The even better part is that pig men double as humans AND beasts. So if you bring a bounty hunter... does that mean its animal brutality or.. HUMAN BRUTALITY.

The game should really explain that some objects give you benefits for dragging items to that box.
>>129166693
did you see the shovel there, in the screen, and then click the check mark?
because you're supposed to click the shovel.
>>129166794
You shouldn't have to
mine was always in the middle box, you just click the shovel there

Is there much use in Stunning Blow for the Crusader? I feel like a stun is only good if you know you can get it out quickly, but the Croosahdore is almost always going to go somewhere close to last.
I'd much rather throw Battle Heal/Inspiring Cry there, but maybe I'm just being close minded.
There much value in stunning blow?

It stops whoever you're stunning from attacking next round. It's really nice to have if you're going against one of the larger enemies like a ghoul or someone who does stress damage like the madman.

>>129167981
This is what happens when I face him usually.
>>129167519
instead of healing damage you can prevent it while dealing damage at the same time with a stun
its one of the best skills he has
same with the vestal sometimes its better to stun the guy instead of healing just to be hit again

Abom is strong. I imagine that the other guys just freak out since, well, it'd probably be pretty gruesome to see a guy transform like that.
>>129168527
It means that their spot in the Embark screen is saved, so you don't have to place them again if you returned to the town screen, or something.
>>129168597
oh ok
so I'm sure it's in the wiki somewhere but everything I try searching comes up with nothing or maybe I'm just clueless as fuck. I saw you can do the "input hero name" thing to get some heroes which seems almost like cheating with how easy it makes getting a certain character, but what's the deal with that? Is it considered cheating by the game or is this some kind of special backer thing where certain names got into the game?

>>129169884
Did you equip your heroes with those weird torch things you get from the Crawling Chaos?
If the templar hits someone with the torch, his revelation will do much less damage.
For these dungeons, always try to bring as many anti-venoms and badages as you can. Especially bandages, most of the monsters I've seen like to bleed.
What team did you use? This is the team I used and I got though it without any losses.
>>129170021
You will return, stronger, wiser, more resilient to the dangers that lie ahead.
Why use highwayman and abom?
Highwayman seems like BH with less utility, HP, and damage penalties on almost all his attacks.
Abom's transform attacks have the same crit, dmg, and acc of any other class' basic melee attack. But his stresses out the party.
On paper they just seem like shit to me.

Abom shits out damage and heals himself. His stress can be managed a lot of ways. HWM is decent as a backrow damage dealer but arb is better.
>>129171034
where is the information supposed to be listed then?
There's nothing in the log or the character sheet. mousing over doesn't reveal anything about status.

is there anything else like it or would you call it the best of it's strange genre?
>>129172029
This one?
>>129172469
No it's one of blanket fire critting the whole party for ~40 damage.
was this game really that unbalanced before it left early-access or were things changed today? i haven't been bullshitted by the dice at all to my understanding, everything has felt fair and part of the learning process or my own fault.
are people just bad at video games?
Is this the closest thing we're gonna have to a wrpg general for the time being?
no really, whats up with the named heroes you can hire from that list. is that some backer shit. I must be fucking retarded because I still can't find anything.
>>129172805

Where are the custom trinkets?
Didn't we have a custom Lewd Vial that came with the Plague Doctor?
So last time I played this was about a year ago with the ridiculous team of occultist, bh, bh, hellion. I want to play again with some of the new classes. I was thinking occultist,??, abomination, man at arms. Who should I toss in the last slot?

Most of them aren't any better than the generic units you get off the wagon, so it's not like it's giving you a huge edge in the game or anything.
Besides, it can't be cheating if the devs put it in there themselves. You might as well think camping or using supplies on curios is cheating.
>>129173730
oh nevermind i saw the thing, i thought that was the old guy who killed himself reanimated or something
>>129173730
Once you clear a stage in the Darkest Dungeon, weird stuff starts happening. Webm related.
>>129173753
I think there's some degree of difference in something the devs put in without pointing out in the game and a standard mechanic. I mean typing in poweroverwhelming in starcraft 1 was put in by the devs but nigga that's a cheat.
also it really is a huge edge when it lets you choose whatever kind of team you want at any time instead of dealing with the x number of people on the wagon at a time.

>>129175261

>>129175181
>>129175181
when you get a scouting proc, if it's a big one you have a chance to get a secret room. when it happens the first time the game has a pop up. It's like a curio on the map, only it is a star, not a book. go to the square the star is as, and push W like if there was a door.

>>129164306
There's one boss where having that long ass duration bleed that can hit all four spaces is just completely deadly. Otherwise I just take it along because the rest of his skills are good enough that they can support carrying one typically useless AOE that will sometimes take out some monsters quickly.
>>129164982
2 Shovels for short, one more for each other length. Arbalest with the Mark Clear is actually really, really good since there are two encounter types that rely on mark to do any damage. If you're not running her, then stun the marking spiders while you kill the spitters and kill the marking fungus while you kill the zombies.
>>129167261
Literally no downside though. Just throw 4 recruits off the wagon into their doom.

Not all trinkets should be useful, I'm not saying that. LEGENDARY CLASS TRINKETS SHOULD BE. They should either promote the fuck out the class' basic function, or offer a secondary role. Shit take a look at the Profane scroll for Vestal's...that shit has the sats of a Very Rare trinket for a common...but it's not what most Vestal's want to do.

No, they're listening to the 5% masochistic crowd that want this game to be "uber hard pound me in the ass with a foot long spiked dildo," game.
Look at their track record, any time ANYTHING gets remotely good they nerf it to the ground in the next patch. Sometimes its for the good, like the AoE damage calculation fuckup....sometimes its just to piss in the face of 70% of their playerbase.

nobody gives a fuck about uncommon or common trinkets.
The main ones were Tough Ring and the legendary bracers...that got nerfed despite their really low value. Legendary Bracers were already in a bad position since you could generally get 15-20% from a class trinket, and you usually wanted a defensive or ACC trinket in the second slot.

I was posting just the nerfs man. And yeah, most of em are Vestal nerfs, which is why I said my main beef was for the ring and Bracers that got needlessly nerfed.
My secondary complain was the fact that there are so many shitty trinkets, even at the Very Rare stage, that are just worthless. But they will never buff those because "GAME HARD GUYS."
The ancestral trinket buffs were nice, needed really...since most of all of em were just status symbols pre-patch.

do the templar fucks appear in the third level of the darkest dungeon? I Really want to know because I don't want to risk carrying the torches if I don't need them
>>129188932
They don't.
>>129187747
Look at it this way, Tough Rings and Legendary Bracers are still good despite the nerfs because they can fit any class without any further restrictions other trinkets would have, like torchlight, position, and of course character class, that these two don't have, so having them is still worth it.
But yeah, I agree with you. Very Rare trinkets should at least be more valuable and worth the trouble.
>>129189159
tough rings and legendary bracers are so bad right now that having nothing is actually better
give me those blight boosting highwayman trinkets from early in the beta, that would be preferable
what does 20% move skill chance mean?
>>129189291
higher chance to proc.
If a skill has 164% chance to proc stun(like max rank houndmaster stun) and you get the weighted cudgel(+40% stun skill chance) and the stun charm(+30%) then your chance to stun is 234%, meaning an enemy with 134% stun resist would be stunned 100% of the time.
Recommend some good Lovecraft stories - preferably short-stories in my case, but all recommendations welcome.
>>129189729
Red Hook since Red Hook Studio.
Mountains of Madness is my personal favourite. The Dreamlands ones are good too despite being more fantasy then horror. A Shadow Out of Time is likewise pretty gud.

>>129189223
i still like Tough rings on Crusaders that get the prot and health quirks. Most of the time my crusaders are used more for party stress and stuns rather then pure, raw damage. Thankfully with the unholy damage boosts they still come out on top % wise.

Probably a stupid question but. I wanna mod a blonde Hellion into the game. Would I just need to re-color all her .png's and save over existing files?
>>129193864
There's only one double templar battle - the other two have just got some fairly minor mooks with them. So if you can get through that fight you should be able to complete it.
I went in blind with a V-HWM-GR-MAA team, which by pure luck aced the whole thing and came back intact with no stress. I gave a torch trinket each to the V, HWM and MAA and stacked dodge trinkets on the GR. This way even if the templars do target the GR with revelation, chances are they'll miss.
The templars aren't completely impervious to stuns and can be bled and blighted. I imagine Occ's weakening curse probably works very well against them too.
>>129194108
That won't work. You will fuck up the transparency. I tried this to get rid of all the black characters.
So, the torches have no use beyond the second level? there is NO Enemy in the third level that uses revelation?
Somehow my fucking Reynauld died, should I restart?
>>129194205
I meant useless as in it doesnt stop them completely from doing something on a turn, because of double actions.
I was stacking dots as a mofo, but they kept using the attack that hits both front rows over and over again. I killed 1 and the other was left at 50% health, but my team was comepletely wrecked even if I won so I couldnt get the last torch lit.
>>129194287
hes not special. nor is dismas. i renamed them soon as i could
>>129193663
I always put her with an Occultist.
For that fight I went: Arbalest>Occultist>Abomination>Hellion
Drank some holy water beforehand for stun resistance and ended the fight on turn 3 with the Swine God flailing at my Abomination for 6 damage.

>>129195074
>gr is a noble
What.
Since when?
>>129194854
Plague Doctor>Occultist>Abomination>Hellion
Plague Doctor removes the 10HP bleed from the Uca, salts snails, and stuns the back row.
Occultist mainly heals but can put out some good damage with his stab and abyssal artillery. He can also debuff when needed. (put Dark Strength on the Abomination during camp for some laughs)
Abomination hits things hard and stuns sometimes.
Hellion with the right abilities can hit anyone at any position. Do that and give her Adrenaline Rush for good measure.
You have now mastered The Cove.
>>129194212
Fuck. Then how?
>>129173941All of them have it at least on a technical level, the ones that don't actually change are the Caretaker in the Graveyard and the Ancestor statue
>>129195326
She mostly harps on about it when she's afflicted.
>>129195358
Oh, also the Abomination can blight too but you're usually better off smashing somebody instead. Also the eldritch killing trinket for the Occultist might be handy for additional damage since everything in that fucking place is eldritch.
>>129195427
A mod where you play as the monsters sent to fuck humanity's shit up when? Or alternatively,

Does anyone else get these graphical glitches sometimes? The icons sometimes only load partially or don't load at all, like the Vestal's armor and the stack of gold in the pic. Verifying the game cache does nothing.
Since my Dark Run team got nerfed to hell, I wonder what you guys use now.

Why do you have to destroy the corpses to change enemies position? It doesn't make sense.
>>129198121
you can clear them or move enemies. it adds another layer tactics. its gameplay thing not a realism thing
>>129198121
>>129198252
The dungeons takes place in long narrow corridors. Blight and Crit hits melt/gib the body so there's no corpse, presumably when you bleed someone to death they try and retreat before falling over.
>>129198373
meh... i dont bother rationalizing "gamey" mechanics with how it works "realistically". especially with a game like this
I'm about to lose all my money and everybody is having heart attacks

>>129198590
>why doesnt this gamey mechanic make sense?
>i dont bother rationalizing "gamey" mechanics with how it works "realistically"
>>129198121
Because people are willing to hide behind the corpses of their allies.
The question you should ask is why don't your heroes leave corpses?It's because you're going insane, and they're figments of your shattered mind.
Hi /dadg/
From a purely economical standpoint, is there a single fucking good reason to spend gold on anything before stagecoach, blacksmith, guild, sanitarium and abbey are fully upgraded?
I can understand why one would want to heal and level heroes up but it seems to be more efficient to just grind town upgrades with level 0 pitch black runs for 30-40ish weeks.
Am I missing something?
>venture into Medium Warrens
>one level 0 newbie, no healer
>going great, find a Moonshine Barrel and two Bone Altars, team is wrecking everything
>ok, middle of the dungeon, time to camp to relieve some stress

Fuck spiders, they weren't nearly this bad during Veteran runs.
>>129199161
Gold is ultimately trivial, what you want is good trinkets and Level 6 heroes with good quirks so that you can beat the Darkest Dungeon. So just upgrade when your A-team is ready to take on the next tier and fire Level 0s that have terrible quirk combos.
>>129199161
Purely economical, sure.
Boring as fuck? Sure.
Sounds so fucking boring I would consider suicide before doing that.
>>129199161
What's the point in upgrading Guild/BS to max if you cant upgrade gear/skills untill your heroes gained levels?
Why not just progress normally?
>>129199161
Aside from getting more money/better trinkets from Veteran quests, not really, no. In fact the game all but encourages you to do that. Keep sacking heroes as soon as they get to L3 to stop them clogging up the roster.
>>129168409
>That screenshot
>>129199405
you can fully upgrade cost discounts without regard to character levels
>>129199620
So what are you gonna do with all the gold in the mid- late-game?
All you're doing is wasting your own time just to have a slightly easier progress earlygame.
I bet you disable corpses too.
Has anyone started NG+? What carries over and what does not? 96 weeks seems to be a lot if you start with your Lvl 6s and trinkets/upgrades to your hamlet

The way I conceptualised it is that in this setting you can get "the Light" god to bestow minor magical abilities on you - but it requires a whole lifetime of dedication and virtue in order to use them, and they are palpably not that powerful in the face of what you can do with the eldritch.

It first of all takes up TWO slots,120+HP,can attack/use abilitys TWICE/has a MASSIVE heal,Blight,bleed AND stun and that's not even fucking mentioning its got a summon that ALSO heals it and gives it MORE damage.
