Friendly Neigbourhood Musket anon here!
The new update broke down the fuckin' accessories again!
I'm here to provide an update

https://mega.nz/#!Y6x3UDAa!mSRRcXUAWBP-66wD3msXqqH4vqxxaH2YBBO0Zm9jBfA

>What changed
Absolutely Nothing! The new update just deleted the mod because they changed the order of some stuff, what a bunch of rascals

As a bonus, here's the old art for the Highwayman, they changed the art for something that sticks out like a sore thumb and since I saw people complaining about it, take it with you!
All you have to do is go to DarkestDungeon\heroes\highwayman and replace it

I'm including it on the musketeer mod in a separate folder

Please update te OP next time!
Bugs and anyting special please tell me

>What the fuck is up with Vestal's dlc trinkets
Well I believe the theme is that she really wants dick, but she's a vestal so she can't have it.

As for the stats on the trinkets, looks retarded since she can only melee from the front and can only stun from the back.

>does row 2 vestal actually work?
As long as you make sure to have a Profane Scroll and another person to either guard or target heal.

Can the Flagellant's heals sustain a team, or do you also need to pack a Vestal/Occultist?

how do I git gud at this game? where can I find some good team setups and not spoil myself on anything?

>>181282695
Depends on a bunch of shit. Two HWM with point blank shot and an 8 speed difference is fun.
>>
>>181282695
I run half and half. Duelists advance along with wicked slice coupled with pistol shot and point blank shot. Gives him access to his powerful point blank shot and counter attack while giving him enough coverage for positions to hit and giving you more of a choice if you want to shuffle or not.
>>
>>181284613
Well what has been your problem so far?
>>
>>181284364
Since he needs to be low hp to heal I'd say it's unreliable
Pair him up with an antiquarian and use protect me to improve your chances of having him get hurt
>>
>>181284364
it can work, you need to keep juggling his health with reclaim and/or suffer. try to pair him with a pd, and heroes that can self sustain like the leper.

The latter. If you leave the dungeon that's it.

Vvulf is pretty dicey. You have to utilize the easier fights in between the harder fights to heal up. It is just hard enough to get to Vvulf, when you actually get to him he will shit on you.

All the base worthwhile quirks like prot +10 or evasive are always welcomed. The only things you need to prioritize are max health and bleed chance while other things like +dmg or +spd don't really count as much compared to the other classes.

Instead of arby bring leper for bulk. He can self heal and buff his own damage. Vulvf doesn't get a prot boost from guarding so leper just chops a front row bandit to hit him. PD sounds good but I brought HM for the mark that occultist may use when he isn't spamming damage debuff

How to get Baron's invite?
>>
>>181293096
high infestation levels must be reached before invitations are possible.
>>
>>181293096
after a while, you'll get crimson court enemies in other dungeons. These will sometimes come with little dudes with invitations. If you kill them, you can take the invitation

The infestation has to get to a certain point though.

>>181293096

Champ Crock.png
2MB, 1920x1080px
So the double Occultist strategy for champion croc worked decently. Since my Hellion was the only damage dealer the fight dragged on for way too long, making stress a much bigger issue than damage. The only time apex predator made me really hurt was near the end of the fight, when I stopped using weakening curses in favor of rushing down what little HP he had left before everyone got heart attacks. I'm pretty satisfied with how the fight went overall, though.
>>
>>181293784
Annoying to use, not really feeling it is strong enough to make it worth it either, too risky and too many drawbacks.
>>
>>181293873
You could've brought a leper with intimidate instead of a 2nd occultist
>>
>>181293716
Why isn't tracking shot viable?
>>
>>181294081
because you are sacrificing a 100% attack to get a couple of 118% attacks. Again, only really worth it against bosses
>>
>>181294081
Usually just using another attack is better than using a buff. However in longer fights tracking shot is great, as the bonus accuracy and crit are very nice and the crit really adds up over time.

Its really just making efficient use of your turns. Buffing to deal a tiny bit more damage next turn is worse than dealing 2x the damage in the same amount of time.
>>
>>181294081
It's just not quite enough of a buff to justify not killing something round one.

It's better to get the kills out of the way early, rather than build up to it, unless it's a really long (boss) fight
>>
>>181294081
Tracking Shot is more or a less a "replace one of your other skills right before fighting the boss" ability.
>>
>>181294042
It wouldn't work. Leper can only use intimidate in position one, and the fight's filled with shuffles. If he got sent to the back, he'd be completely useless. On the other hand, the Occultists can curse from any position.
>>
>>181294990
if only you could increase your resistance to movement somehow
>>
>>181295089
You'd have to equip everyone with those trinkets then sacrificing either speed, stun, damage, and so on.

Ok /dadg/, suppose you had an awful day at work/NEETing around and you decide to destress by playing darkest dungeon (terrible idea). One dizzying blow to body and brain after another, you work yourself up to the point where your resolve is tested. What affliction do you get and what virtue would you get otherwise?
>>
>>181295089
You'd need to do that for position 2, 3, and 4 to counter the teeth rakes. It would also take up trinket slots, which you need filled with other things to consistently debuff the boss.

So I had this game figured out till champion weald. What the flying fuck am I supposed to do there?
Every enemy has 30+ dodge, 20-40 prot, tons of hp and hit like trucks.

I almost wiped on the first encounter that was two slimes, a hateful virago, and a crone. Had a hm, occult, maa, and a gr.
>>
>>181302546

Mark the Virago azap and dont let a corpse or you will be fucked.

MaA has to guard people from the tree smackdown now cuz the damage is huge and crits are more common.

The Houndmaster and the Flagellant are great for the Weald
>>
4 flags
how does it go?
>>
>>181303040
Wtf is a flag?

Is that short for Flagellent?
>>
>>181303040
You can only have one per party.
>>
>>181302546
Occultist is really good at neutering the giants. You don't want to leave corpses in Virago fights and the high-prot zombies are fairly common, so bleed-heavy parties work well.
>>
Have they ever buffed any major thing in the game? Feels like every update only has nerfs
>>
>>181303761
Occultist can heal from anywhere now. Shuffles be damned.

So, after starting the second dlc quest to kill the baron, evreything was fine. But after retreating and returning again, every time that i load the save i get a black screen after the courtyard load, and then the game crashes.

>>181304964
A push over with a semi flexible team comp, i once found him when all I had was a Crusader missing his Holy Lance, a Man At Arms, a Vestal and an Auntie during a money run and his collected MAA made sure to protect him for literally for ever, didn't have anything to snipe the collector with so I had to back up and go to an different path

The moment you go in with any comp with range is the moment you might as well have beat the collector already, though
>>
>>181305545
I wrecked him with the Abomination.
>>
>>181278080
After sniffing through the files, I noticed something

>Silver Musket Ball is referenced as silver_bullet
>Second Place Trophy is referenced as first_place_trophy
>the latter was changed to second_place_trophy in your files

Probably best to follow the developer's convention instead of changing the localization file for the correct reference, files affected:
>crimson_court.entries.trinkets.json
>"cc_set_musk_first_place_trophy" instead of "cc_set_musk_second_place_trophy"
>CC.string_table.xml
>remain "str_inventory_title_trinketcc_set_musk_first_place_trophy"

Future updates will not affect localization strings anymore
>>
>>181305545

Stuns are pretty good for protection cunts like MaA collectors and octopuses. All you need to kill is one clone and start hitting him with any hero. Had a Jester/Occultist/MaA/Flagellant which merc this guy so hard it was not even funny.

>>181306064
Yeah, just kill then retreat from the quest, I suggest just making a new save, getting the first few boss fights up for the other areas and throwing party's of 0's at him, Watch the boss rewards for Mercurial Salve and just toss it to best person in the party, heavy boots was great for healers I found as well, I got all 32 CC trinkets by week 45 doing this, maxed out guild cost reduction and got two District buildings in the process, I also recommend getting as many people as you can per stage couch to help avoid failed teamcomps

How in the flying fuck do you deal with champion bloodsuckers? Even just the goddamn mosquitos have 25 health and 30 dodge, and can self heal.

I can clear them out but goddamn it takes way too long. +Acc so I don't have to spend a turn debuffing dodge just to fucking hit them

Stun.

Plus it's not even really for the courtyard itself, it's dealing with them when you have a warrens boss party when you get shat on by two mosquitos and two chevaliers

Is it just me or is crimson curse the gayest possible mechanic?

You're guaranteed to have a roster full of infected people by the time the infestation is in full swing.

Enter a fight, guy goes to craving, passes his turn, and then the giant smacks him for 40 damage cause you couldn't guard.

Or your bloodlusted guy denies healing, or the guy wigs out and stabs a another guy on deaths door killing him.

Just irritating that it removes player agency in so many ways. Even just the additional stress from simply having it. Your guys will proc extra stress no matter their curse level.

And sure you can kill the boss to clear it but those dungeons are about 100 rooms long with 3 mini bosses so it's not like you can clear it out on the first go, and even if you did somehow, your guys would definitely become infected within the courtyard.

You probably got 2 shreikers simultaneously and picked the wrong one. Check if there is an option to go hunt him again.

>>181279707
They usually have 3 valuable gems like the one in the middle and sometimes one or more of those gems is replaced by a head trinket, which are powerful early on but stress out your heroes a little bit. Even though Barristan's head is pretty shit that's still a good haul. The two items on the right are there because you had antiquarian highlighted when you opened the safe. Always use her for loot items if you can.

Full CC roster is like playing on easy mode.
Until I took down the Baron, I had everyone infected.
They had all turned into killing machines and taking out the Veteran bosses was like a walk in the park.

It's not really about the difficulty, it's the fact that for significant chunks of playtime your roster is on essentially auto play. With affliction and the curse you get to control half their actions. It just simply isn't fun to just sit there and watch them.

Yes. You also can stack crests by 12 when you are looting so you should have a lot of crests left over between other building upgrades. While it is a gamble it does give you a higher chance to get trinkets you want if the boss quests aren't making the trinkets you want available or that they are powerful enough that you need a veteran medium/long dungeon to obtain them.

1) if you treated him for stress sometimes they get buff for one quest
2) Not really, you mainly (at least i) use him to deal with the stress-dealing backliners who already have a lot of dodge and extra damage doesn't mean anything if he can't hit those
3) It's entirely level-dependant, there's no jack-of-all-trades comp in this game

1. Town activities can give you buffs/debuffs. Read the activity log. Flagellation is +/- 20% damage, Brothel is +/- 5 speed, Bar is -10 accuracy.
2. -ACC is one the worst negatives in the game. Get rid of that.
3. Depends what you're fighting.

You'll be swamped with them because they're rewarded retroactively.

Darkest Dungeon is unforgiving in kind of a bad way. By that I mean it discourages/punishes experimentation to some extent. Creating proper test subjects (equipment, levels, trinkets, etc) makes them far less expendable. Trying out a different party comp on a boss requires you to go through a long dungeon just to get to them. If you are successful you're unable to fight the boss again to try out something else for a while. If you fail you get another chance but have to grind up more heroes to do so.

Even worse much of the game's difficulty comes from trial and error. Once you know the trial (or read a guide to skip the whole trial and error part) you can almost go on autopilot at that point because the tactical portion isn't that strong. The game doesn't leave a lot of room for trying out various comps or variations of the same comp without investing large amounts of grind time into the game.

When you get a hunger check they lose hp if you don't have any food. If that loss of hp is greater than their current hp they die. As long as their hp stays high or you don't get too many checks things can turn out alright.

I would say wait to see how things play out.

So is jester worth using after the buff? How should I use him? I tried him after their "fix" and all he's good now is soaking his buff and his finale is nowhere near completion to actually bank it. Seriously, because of this my dismas and gr almost died because of the damage accumulated and having him on the fourth rank didn't help at all considering his two skills are limited to single uses and his other souls aren't worth shuffling compared to stress heal and buff. Easily 20% every time he uses a skill and it lasts for 7 rounds. No one in their right mind is going to build a party around finale for those 7 rounds and by then, it has 0 use because your enemies either have prot, already low hp or high dodge. Not to mention, his debuff cripples him for 12 rounds and not considering you might have another fight after using it.

The same way people used him before the finale buff and following nerf, stress heal, ballad, and bleed. Ballad first turn, stress heal or bleed on the next turns depending out what you are facing and how stressed your guys are.

I'm working on that one right now. Without spoiling anything, it's a big-ass dungeon. You might have to retreat and regroup, if you run low on food, or torches, or get too stressed, etc. And if you do, when you go back again it'll start you in the room you were in when you left, with everything you've explored still revealed.

You will always get a PD and a Vestal after the intro.

Stress is worse than damage in the beginning.

Upgrade the stagecoach, blacksmith, and guild first.

If you get an Antiquarian early the game becomes a whole lot easier because you can make tons of money.

You can use food to heal. Bring a ton of torches and keep light high. Don't forget shovels.

Literally any team heading into vet+ cove, unless you like getting snibbidy snab'd for 10x5 bleed.

PD's main job is fucking the back rows raw with blight and stuns, so she's good with guys like the crusader and leper who can't touch those rows. Her single-target stun also clears corpses, which keeps your guys from wasting a turn grinding meat to get the back rows in range. Vapors are lame, don't use them.

Goddamn this dlc sucks. I like the flagellant, but everything else just adds tedious micro/macro. You can't get enough invitations to clear the courtyard bosses till half your roster is infected and the infestation is maxed, where it turns every area of the game into the same thing because there's 4x sycophants in the Warren and the Weald and the Cove for every hallway battle.

The districts are nice but just add more grinding for crests. You can have a rolling team farming invitations but it doesn't add anything interesting, just farming the same goddamn enemies on the easiest difficulties so you can clear the courtyard so you don't have to deal with the curse any more, which is the whole problem.

I should want to experience the dlc, not cheese it as fast as possible because the mechanics it adds are the opposite of fun.
>>
>>181354495
I have 4 people infected out of 28 and Im already on high infestation. You're just exaggerating.
>>
>>181354754
How many invitations do you have? How far into your courtyard boss are you?
>>
>>181354323
If it is that much of a problem then bring classes that can take care of themselves in a pinch.
>>
>>181354986
I have 2 invitations but I havent gotten back to the courtyard because I dont have a lvl 3 team yet.
>>
>>181354495
The only issues I personally have with the DLC is that the Curse is very easy to get and doesn't really have much of an upside, and that the swarming insects event at the start of the game cancels out other town events. I think once they mess around with the balance of the curse a bit it'll be amazing. I'd like them to change the swarming town event a bit as well, but if they don't it's not a gameplay ruiner for me. The fact that you are granted a free invite to the next courtyard mission after finishing the current one helps a lot and you typically shouldn't need more then 4 or 5 to clear an epic. With the increased spawn rate they've given the the Gatekeepers I don't think that's really a valid issue anymore.
>>
>>181354754
I'm not sure if the number of infected people affect infestation as I have always gotten high infestation with a low number of infected people. I do agree with the other guy that the infestation mechanic adds nothing but tedium.
>>
Any tips for the champion croc? I wanna fight him but since he cleans marks and dots I dont know what to use.

>>181355296
My big complain is the invites: you should be able to play in the courtyard as much as you want and you get invites for the boss missions INSIDE the CC itself, not outside.

Also the dlc is clearly made for mid-late game so the first mission is a big trap for low level players that just started the game
>>
>>181355658
They added a warning message to the first mission.
>>
>>181355296
>4-5 to clear a 100 room dungeon your first time in blind

Maybe the Baron, but not the viscount or countess.


And I guess either way, it's still a bad mechanic imo. I really don't like being railroaded into beating the bosses as fast as possible so I don't have to deal with the curse mechanics.
>>
>>181355202
>Infestation on high
>4 infected
>Don't have a level 3 team yet

You're almost guaranteed to get 2 people infected a run on max infestation. So we'll say 10-15 weeks to level up a few teams to rotate through the courtyard. That's another 20 people infected if you take fresh people every time.

If you take a team of cursed people you'll get buttfucked by the fanatic.
>>
>>181355904
I thought 4 to 5 runs per dungeon was totally reasonable in the two times I've run through the Court since the DLC came out. If the average is higher than that then maybe I can see why some people are feeling a bit impatient with the mechanic. I don't mind it though, I think it fits the whole "nobility" theme the vampires have and I think that your infection levels reach "high" quickly enough in between Court missions that you can get a good amount of invites before you're ready for the mission.
>>
>>181356312
I dont know anon, I've done quite a few missions on high and I havent hit that many bloodsuckers yet, and maybe I've just been lucky cause when I do I kill them quickly enough/dont get cursed.

I think the curse should have an incubation time during which it can be treated like a normal disease and after a week it turns into the full blown curse. That way you need to either intentionally let it infect lots of your dudes or fuck up pretty bad to have a roster full of infected which is more in line with the game's overall philosophy.

Adding more to his post:
Don't neglect quirks so a event like caretaker's convention is one of the most important events to get because it saves you a lot of money. Negative quirks will hurt in the long run while good quirks like tough, quick reflexes or on guard will save you a lot of trouble.

Trinkets help a lot too and most class trinkets aren't bad or good either depending on what sorta skills you want your hero to use in certain quests like stun+, move resist or stress/health healing+. Trinkets are a part of tailoring a hero to a certain role so make sure you get decent ones. There are general purpose ones like fasting seal, sun/moon ring, quickdraw charm and boxes/heads/ancestral that are must-haves so try to nab them with every chance you get.

Two things you want to keep in mind is to think ahead in order to stop trouble from happening (this is where RNG bullshit comes in because you didn't stop enemies from doing annoying tactics) and to be humble. Just know when to call it quits, when to end a battle quickly or when to take your time. One bad turn-of-events can mean the whole quest so you need to be on top of things when it counts.

Quirks that generally make or forbid heroes destress in either church or bar are great fillers. They take up a negative slot for something you're not likely to use. Bad melee quirks that a ranged character will never use are also pretty good. Just prevent your heroes from taking bad ones in like kleptomania, curious, weak grip on life and etc. You can remove them by using certain provisions on curios like torches to burn warren scrolls or herbs on coral in the cove. The only curio that 100% lets you get good quirks are using holy water on Troubling Effigy in weald.

Should I use the Tavern and Abbey at the start or is a 4-5 week rotation enough? Seems pricey.

Max.
>Should I use the Tavern and Abbey at the start or is a 4-5 week rotation enough? Seems pricey.
Never use it unless you have heroes that are afflicted. If they're too stressed out leave them in the hamlet, if you want to use them after a mission then put them on meditation/drinking.

After completing the final Darkest Dungeon quest, can I keep playing on that save, or is it an end game situation?
>>
>>181367393
You can keep playing.

I'm still bitter about the Jester's nerf. It has altered so many of my setups. I wish his two r2-3 moves were a bit more different. Maybe a r4 bleed instead.

In Baron, does this first Red Lock do anything? Is there a point in opening it if you can just go around it?
>>
>>181369453

There's a chest somewhere else in the level that also uses the Red Key, so you can skip round the first door and go straight to the second chest to get a CC Trinket.

Otherwise the second Red Key is in the room behind the Baron, just remember to not immediately quit out after beating him.

Yes.

Which is (1/2)^18 chances, meaning a .00000381 chance of that happening.

Or a 00.000381% chance.

I guess I just need to git gud at luck. This is fucking retarded.

>8th hero in a row has died immediately on deaths door from dots

Even less likely to happen.
>>
>>181368686

Plague Doctor - Vestal - Houndmaster - Hellion

This team comp can deal with nearly any situation and has massive mileage, and it's also well suited to DD3.

Blinding Gas PD, Vestal with some nice Heals, Guard+Stun and a Prot reducing Mark on HM, with Iron Swan and Breakthrough on your hellion..

If you end up against two weird brain things they just spam Wicked Hack over and over again, so you can move HM to the back and spam Cry Havoc for free stress relief.

Just natural afflictions.

Put virtue trinkets on guys after about ten because I was sick of getting afflictions every goddamn time.

Even the highwayman cc trinkets that give +45% and he still failed three goddamn times.

Not sure how they work though, if it's 45 each or 45 for having both.

And either fucking way

So, I'm new, and I'm hoping I can ask a few dumb-ass question without getting too much shit

Is there a Darkest Dungeon party creation simulator, where I can tinker with certain class/skill line-ups?

Is it just me or should basically every party have one/two Occultists and a Hound Master?

About how long will it take to get my estate to the point where I can learn different skills?
>>
>>181371103
You shouldn't be getting that many virtue checks. Are you using stress+ trinkets or something?
>>
>>181371116
its literally says its just for bragging rights
>>
>>181371103
Then bring a stress healer like a Jester, Hound Master, or Crusader. Not only that the new class can take someones stress.
>>
>>181371103
I recognize you.
You're the guy that said that jester was fine and that you didn't cheese the game at all with him.
Now you dropped your 1 wonder dont worry about anything party and cant manage stress for shit.
You'll get good eventually dont worry
>>
>>181371206
>>About how long will it take to get my estate to the point where I can learn different skills?
you should unlock the guild after a few missions

dog man and occultist are good classes, but not mandatory
>>
>>181371206
Occultists and Houndmasters are great but they aren't there on every party. It's just that Occultist can heal and mark, and the houndmaster got the strongest mark to debuff prot.
>About how long will it take to get my estate to the point where I can learn different skills?
What do you mean famalan ? If you think about the Guild you unlock it after a few quest, your top priority should be upgrading the guild/blackmisth, don't forget to also upgrade the stagecoach a bit.
>>
So the order is Guild->Blacksmith->Stagecoach->Sanitarium, I guess?
>>
>>181371206
To start off you definitely want a primary healer in every party, so an occultist or vestal. People usually prefer one or the other, it's up to what works for you. Later on you'll be able to mix it up with comps that don't have a occ/vestal. HM is a solid damage dealer and marker, but not a 'must', but if he's working for you, stick with him while you figure things out.

There are many ways to play the game. Some are better than others, but there is no one way.
>>
>>181371598
once you get the first couple upgrades the stage coach probably falls behind the sanitarium

And either way my original point was that the numbers aren't as presented.

While possible failing 18 virtue checks in a row shouldn't happen if it really is 1/4.

And I realized I fucked up my math. It's (1/4)^18 for a base virtue chance at a 1.45x10^-11

Or a .00000000000145 chance. Meaning I should go play the lottery.

What do you guys think about the expansion now that you've had a few days to play with it? For me:

Good things
>Art and sound are as superb as always
>Most of the new enemies are interesting
>Courtyard itself is a pretty neat environment

Bad things
>Crimson curse is more of an annoyance than interesting gameplay
>Infestation mechanic is annoying
>Fanatic seems pretty retarded on higher difficulties, harder than most actual bosses
>Red hook still not pulling their heads out of their asses and balancing trinkets (see: that awful ass shit flagellant collar which is literally just a worse martyr's seal)

All in all I would give it a 7.5 out of 10, pretty fun but could use some tweaks.

>>181374857
Another healer would be really nice. Was sort hoping we might get something vampire themed in that department. Like, a healer that used their own hp to buff/heal allies and gained HP from bleeding enemies or something.

I definitely hope for that for next expansion we maybe get two more classes instead of just one.

You should be bringing someone who can hit back ranks instead of a Leper.

>optimal
Look, I'm just an anon bringing up points here, not the hag kill poster, and I honestly think he had enough damage without his frontline if he killed her in two turns. Don't think he was suboptimal. He obviously had the backline damage he needed with or without a frontline backdealer.
>>
>>181381024
I was gonna say hellion. Was thinking of vestal/hound for rank 2 but if your 1 gets potted they're kinda useless.

>>181381134
whoops
i guess that adds man at arms and abom to the options, though

So what's the worst thing Red Hook ever did to this game for you boys

I just sent a lvl 0 occultist alone on a lvl 5 long warrens mission with 2 shitty trinkets cause I want to trigger the shrieker mission already.

I feel like a murderer.
>>
>>181381353
Abom would be terrible imo, because you'd need that jester with your group and jester would be ass against hag. Man at arms is always a good option. But I think the best point here is that you don't need a frontline backdealer against hag because a leper or crusader can just tip the pot in 1-2 turns anyway.

Come to think of it, leper isn't a bad choice for hag because of how easily he can potentially 1 shot the pot, making it do nothing.

Hitting any rank from the front, having good crit chance, powerful stun that can be used end of fight to stall or mid fight with an herb or guard, good bleed, self heal with buff and blight/bleed removal, and good camp abilities.

But if you don't like that, you could have a front rank Occultist, Man-at-Arms, or some other character that can hit 3rd rank from 1st.

I lost a good vestal fighting the croc and then immediately got a town event to bring her back. Does it usually proc when you lose a high-ish level hero?
>>
>>181387323
You can't forget the vital keys. They're automatically added to your inventory.
>>
>>181387426
The graveyards procs whenever, so long as you have at least three dead heroes. And that red door by the middle is the shortcut, so you can open it if you want. You can use the key later though, so it's up to you.

>The graveyards procs whenever, so long as you have at least three dead heroes.
That's funny. I read a lot about it happening right when a good hero dies, and then it happens to me.
>>
Wow, the Viscount map is quite easy with all the campfires you find.

Also it helps I farm the collect grain missions for free supplies
>>
>>181387323
regular keys have no use in the courtyard, not even for secret rooms

I might just restart, it's only week 4.
Stupid Reynauld.
Goddamn I wish I could be less anal about the start.

guys if i get a key and leave, will I have it when I return?
>>
>>181391057
Yeah, you can pick them up from the provision menu. Dungeon would be nearly impossible without that cause you'd have to do something longer than the final four dungeons put together in one shot

I really hope they bring down the chances of getting the CC. It drastically changes the game overall.
>>
>>181391690

If you retreat from CC runs do you keep campfires?

What's a good composition and trinkets for Darkest Dungeon part 2?

Last time I ran it my Vestal got hit twice before I could guard her and when I did get a chance to guard her she was at 88 stress. The one guarding her got stunned and she died before I could heal her. MaA died and didn't have another on standby

I don't have any decent speed trinkets besides feather crystal but that has negative stun resist. Should I get more prot?
>>
>>181393046
No, I've tested that one personally.
>>
>>181277614
quick question anyone know if subscribing to new class mods adds trinkets for those classes or are they only using the general trinkets?
>>
>>181393681
Unless the page says so, they only have general trinkets.
>>
>>181393508
Maybe have some sort of quirk that adds speed to the guarder, then a trinket to resist stun if stun is a problem.
>>

My resolve was tested irl.

I'm the guy bitching about the bullshit numbers

Started recruiting team of level 0 people to send to their deaths to test out the numbers. I'm up to 28 failed virtue chances in a row and 14 people dying to the first hit on deaths door.

Not sure why I'm doing it but here we are.


Why do I randomly lose thousands of gold? Went on a quest with 8k and now I have 193. Nothing in the town log for -gold.

>also how do you guys feel about custom classes
It would be nice if there were good ones. There's a lot of potential but it's really difficult to make sprites that aren't just palletswapped versions of existing sprites or things that just look really terrible

DD has a very distinct artstyle and anything that is not that artstyle is jarring as hell
>>
>>181382595
>>181381667
Stygian is just the same gamemode but shorter. It's not all that different from the regular version.

There's no failure state though; you can just buy more dudes. Only in stygian mode, do you "lose".

I was victorious! My MaA stacked stress on the second group and went courageous. He was the only one in my party getting focused for most of the run. Also helps that my Occultist was getting in some lucky crits.

You know, there's a lot to complain about in this DLC, but i've had nothing but fun so far. I'm probably just getting really lucky, and the Baron will most likely kick my teeth in, but i'm loving it so far.

He's a tricky healer, but he's a powerful healer.
He's a healer with which you have to play your cards right, but if you do, he's far more powerful than a vestal or occultist.

It's like saying occultist isn't a healer when he rolls a 0 + bleed.
>>
>>181398439
i know how good flag is at healing, especially with the heal % item, dude can not crit heal for 15+ easy. but its not going to help you if the enemys focus 1 person and flag is at full health.

gargoyles added to stonework when
even if they're not actually stone

Is it me or are enemies more likely to attack rank 2 than rank 1? Rank 2 always seems to take more damage for me

>2. Should I keep rabies on my HWM? I am unsure about that as the dmg for acc seems like a good trade off

If you have Sun Ring, then yes. Sun Rings are great and it's not too hard to get your soldiers back up to 100% accuracy even with rabies if you just give them a Sun Ring and keep their skills fully upgraded. Maybe bring a Jester for champion, but you were gonna do that anyway.
>>
Just beat the Baron. Glad to have a break from the curse, but I'll always be wondering what's in those rooms I didn't explore.

I like Ancestor's Scroll and Book of Sanity for Suffer spam, Ancestor's Scroll is amazing on Flag. I also get a lot of use out of Fortifying Garlic because I'm a pussy and don't want to fuck around with DoTs on a low hp death's door character.

Well either way. One fish guy crits your plague doctor for 20.
Your bleed is going to take 4 turns to get your flag low enough, the fuck does he heal for?

He's a great sustain but I'd never use him as a primary healer
>>
>>181402950
The reclaim will get them off deaths door every turn, and he heals for like 30 damage per heal or something crazy.

As I said, sometimes occultist rolls a 0+bleed, and he's still a "primary healer".
>>
>>181403120
Reclaim also procs before dots so it'll prevent death to them

So am I missing something for stress management or am I really supposed to sit there stunning the last two guys every fight as my jester tops everyone off?

I'm thinking of doing an over-haul mod /dadg/, nothing too ambitious like PBD. Should I go for it?

Mostly my plans are
>Trinket Rarity:Effect Balance
>Hero Skill Progression Overhaul (yes, in the vein of PBD).
>Hero Overhauls to hammer in roles. Base Prot, Base Damage that sort of shit
>New Additional Trinkets
>Make the Trinket Wagon actually have some sort of use (Again, in the vein of PBD with the Trinket Wagon having exclusive Tarot Trinkets)
>Town Event Rebalances
>Boss Overhauls (In the vein of PBD yes)
>>
>>181404102
I never do that and hardly have stress problems, just kill the stressers quick and hope they don't get a lot of crits
>>
>>181404465
I mean it's usually fine on shorts/some mediums but goddamn anything else? Back row will usually eat a stress wave or two, 20/40 stress a fight.

Just did dd1 and my god. Every attack in there does stress damage. No idea how to handle it.
>>
>>181404709
Ah yeah, aside from throwing a junk party to clear the week I've never touched DD, perhaps just graverobber for crits or bring a jester to focus for stressheal
>>
>>181404102
>tops everyone off
That would imply you want everyone at 0 stress at the end of the quest, which is bizarre to me.
There are a lot of levers to pull. Trinkets: anti stress, speed, first turn speed, accuracy and stun chance. Skills to nuke the back row. Camping skills. Assembling a team with stress-affecting quirks in mind.
