Man I really wanted to like this game

I just couldn't get into it

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!

EVEN THE COLD STONE SEEMS BENT ON PREVENTING PASSAGE

I remember when this piece of shit was making its way along Twitch streamer after streamer

GREAT IS THE WEAPON THAT CUTS ON ITS OWN

What game?

DESTROYED

My game keeps crashing before I can even get to the menu.

DAZED

Kunkka?

REELING

Darkest Dungeon

RINGING EARS

ABOUT TO BREAK

Why does God of War have hair?

>beat first darkest expedition
>start griding for the second one
>get bored and stop

Is it good?
Comes out tommorow on PS4 and I'm wondering if I should get that over XCOM 2

>piece of shit

...

Its pretty fun for the first 15-20 hrs.
Then its kinda of a gind fest and rng shit show.
The pain felt so good though.

I'm ok with grind but how bad of RNG are we talking here?
Do stats get nullified by random bullshit?

It has a annoying RNG + learning curve.

It is decent. Didn't care for it myself.

More like everyone is cursed/diseased or dead in a single bad turn type of RNG

a+ image user

Eh, I'll do some more research, ty familia

...

I honestly haven't played it in a long while so its hard to list specifics.
You should watch a dungeon run on youtube in order to get a better grasp. It wont spoil anything really.
It was definitely a fun experience though.

Excellent. I haven't seen any of these before.

10/10

"Curious is the trap-maker's art, his efficacy unwitnessed by his own eyes."

...

I fucking love this game but I'm terrified of starting a darkest dungeon quest

EXECUTED WITH IMPUNITY

>tfw guys on vvulf, including an arbalest with that 10% ranged perk, and have to retreat and lose one guy on top of that

how do you deal with this absolute madman

This game needs a strictly 'frontline healer'

Maybe a druid or something, someone whose stick is being tanky and healy but rather piddly on the damage front. And their heals only work in the front two rows.

I just feel like the non-healer back rows are constantly struggling with each other to see which one of them gets in. When was the last time you brought along an arbalest AND a plague doctor? Oh that's right... never.

expect losses

swarthy workmen and sturdy shovels

shit I completely forgot the lines from Fig.4 and Fig.9? Anyone wants to help a familia out?

NOW, THE TRUE TEST. HOLD FAST, OR EXPIRE
SURVIVAL IS A TENUOUS PROPOSITION IN THIS SPRAWLING TOMB

much obliged

INJURY AND DESPONDENCE SETS THE STAGE FOR HEROISM...OR COWARDICE.

>MANY FALL IN THE FACE OF CHAOS... BUT NOT THIS ONE. NOT TODAY.

Are you serious? It feels like it took a damn year

What's fig 8?

IN TIME YOU WILL KNOW THE TRAGIC EXTENT OF MY FAILINGS

>Piece of shit

so literally the crusader

>Boss kills entire squad on death's door in one hit.

>tfw put 100 hours into this, but champion level dungeons kick my ass too hard

The crusader's battle heal is shit though. He's only good for stress heal in a pinch.

>trying to get the achievement where Dismas and Reynauld have to survive till the final quest
>fucking dismas cooked to death by hag
>fast forward to the next couple of weeks
>MOTHERFUCKING FROM BEYOND OUTTA NOWHERE

this fucking game rewards as much as it wrecks your asshole I swear to god

>he actually let someone die to the hag

Its a fun game but I hate when everything is on chance
missed attack
missed spell
and enemy does a crit
god dam it piss me off

BLURRED VISION

Really didn't care for this much, it's easy and repetitive. The art and sound is great though.

At fucking last the Comics started rolling out again.

...

>he actually had a wife and child.

ehh... I always preferred my headcanon that it was a youthful 'what if', like he abandoned his teenage love for the call and later in life regrets it.

...

...

Pic related was pretty fucking shit

Best Comic coming through

This is some straight up Mike Mignola shit and I love it

Can someone explain this to me?

>He's literally called Baldwin in the game files

And i love this shit

Beat this game two weeks ago.

>Great sound
>Great atmosphere
>Great music in general
>Solid art-style
>Great narration

>Bad gameplay that relies on RNG, making runs either brutal or a breeze.
>Bad class design. Hellion, Plague Doctor, Occultis, and Jester literally break the game.
>Bad boss design that requires prior knowledge to beat 9/10 times
>Bad mechanics like torches that really do nothing, but the game tricks you into thinking they're useful
>It's better to dump mercs than to heal them.
>Gold is basically worthless because it's so easy to get.
>The areas are poorly balanced. Have fun grinding skeletons.
>Bleeds and Blight are the same fucking thing. The only reason they both exist is to fuck you over.

The Crusader can't go back to the life he once had.
Not when the Crusade is still needing to be waged, the war to be won.

maybe something about how he has seen/killed so much shit that he can't go back to a life with his wife and kid

Crusader been changed by war and bloodshed. Doesn't feel like he can go back.

I think he was on the battlefield for so long he doesn't remember or care about his family anymore.

Is it ona notebook? I had similar problem and got help in the forums

I think when he tries to return home the part where it shows him with the red background behind him in the second to last panel probably means he hasn't escaped the war (in his heart or some shit like the war still haunts him) so he chooses not to come home

went to war, came back realized he couldn't face his family and left

He has a murderboner he cant hide anymore
Gotta keep that sword bloody and shit.

what's the joke?

>man has wife and child
>gets sent off to war
>war gradually changes him
>by the time the war ends he either can't stand to let his family see what's become of him, or he can't bring himself to stop fighting
>possibly both
Really good use of color, too.

The problem of the game is that there is way too much shit to fuck your party up and it ends with the exactly same result:

Give up the dungeon or sacrifice your party. Getting strees is already a though punishiment and your party member is already fucking useless and debuffs everyone in your party. Not only that he can die with heart attack. This mechanic and corpses were literally what ruined the expwrience for me.

I think you can turn them off though

that's nice

Game has several Bible references

Baldwin was a leper king of jerusalem

So glad that i could revive the thread by dumping the comics.

Anger is power... UNLEASH IT

What are the known canon names for the characters?

Crusader Reynauld
Highwayman Dismas
Hellion Boudica
Leper Baldwin
Occultist Al Hazared
Houndmaster Shag & Scoob

What are the others?

my exact fucking reaction.

He's a reference to the real king Baldwin during the crusader wars, who also happened to be a leper.

King Baldwin isn't in the Bible you dork

...

Ok, I really don't get this one

Pretty sure tne MaM is Barristan.

>Pic related
Everyone says that Arbalest´s father was killed for being a google.
But he looks quite Highwaymanish himself.

I dont get this one

...

Supposedly he saw many young soldiers die around him for a fucking banner.

He just wants to rest but he keeps on going even when being fuck-old, and the younglings die as flies

Crusader Reynauld
Highwayman Dismas
Plague Doctor Paracelsus
Vestal "Junia"

Hellion Boudica
Bounty Hunter Tardif
Grave Robber Audrey
Occultist Alhazred

Jester Jingles
Leper Baldwin

Arbalest Missandei
Man at Arms Barristan
Houndmaster "Shag & Scoob"

Abomination Bigby

>Posts the best comic last

fuck, that middle panel with the crusader leading the army looks fucking awesome.

>cuts a man's head clean in half with a fucking mace
MAA is broken

Leper is best
Try to prove me wrong
>Protip
You cant

Welp that was all, hope you enjoyed the comics and the fatassed devs start developing more shit.
Hopefully the Dota announcer will be finished this year and the DLC is about the Deep Gods

...

>Oh boy you dont know what the fuck you just got in

You didn't post the Abomination one

Also where's Vestal and Plague Doctor?

>You didn't post the Abomination one

he did

ANGER IS POWER, UNLEASH IT

See Also where's Hellion, HM, and BH?

But i did you fucking Heretic.

Havent been made yet
They just started shitting out comics again at a really fucking fast pace so they should be done in some days

Don't mind me, just being the best character in the game.

DLC soon fellow heroes

but you're not a hellion

wait what? what dlc?

>Everyone bitches when RNG fucks them over
>Say nothing when RNG makes you win a fight that was *almost* utterly lost
?

>Stupid fucking jester dodges and/or absorbs 4 killing blows in a row.

But that's not Man at arms.

This. I tried.
It's not especially hard, you can just have real shitty luck sometimes and that's that.

Anal Rodeoded fuccfaigs

i got 80 hours out of it, can't complain

from reddit

>Slowly..... Gently...... This is how a life is taken.

There it is.

wtf is this shit vestals are pure
PURE

Hellion is amazing

>Heavy damage to back row
>Stun attack on front two, with equips making stun chance ridiculously high
>Self heal/cure
>Pretty solid attack

Hellion should lead every party

Nah desktop. Worked fine then all the sudden nonstop crashing.

Forgot what happened to my Crusader but he was super stressed out and lost his shit screaming, "NO, THAT ONE BELONGS TO THE LIGHT!" when someone else in the party killed a mob. After seeing this comic, that moment is even more twisted for it.

Reynauld, named after an actual crusader who died during The Battle of Mount Cadmas
Dismas, named after the thief that got crucified with Christ and got his redemption. The Penitent Thief
Paracelsus, named after the nickname the actual Paracelsus, father of toxicology, picked for him.
Junia, as in Joanna D' Ark
Boudica, as in the barbarian queen of Britain
BH Tardif, as in one of the programmers of Red Hook, Pierre Tardif
Graverobber Audrey, as one of the programmer's wife
Occultist Alhazared, as the Mad Arab from Lovecraft's stories that wrote The Necronomicon
Jingles, as in, he's a fucking jester
King Leper Baldwin, as the Jerusalem leper king in the Crusades against Salahadin
Arbalest Missandei, as the black girl character in Game of Thrones
Man at Arms Barristan, as in another GoT character
Shag and fucking Scoob, this is easy
Abomination Bigby, as the Wolfman's main character

Pls gib champion level dungeon advice

The harder levels are fucking insane in terms of damage and hit percentage from the enemies

Is there a specific name for DD's artstyle? I kinda like it, as well as Witcher's 2 cutscenes which seem to be in the same style

Mignola-esque?

lmao why would you send a fucking leper to fight lol like he would swing his sword and his arm would fall off or go flying kek what the fuck

Chiaroscuro

>Abomination and Leper are both outcasts of society because of their respective conditions
>Leper won't work with him
>Crusader and Vestal won't work with a heretical being
>Absolution skill implies that the Abom is religious to an extent

Why is this allowed?

seems so
thanks user

Abom... Abom had a hard life.

Because Leper, Crusader and Vestal are religious zealots and the abomination is demon-infested

Though I don't know why they are totally ok with going with the barbaric hellion if zealotry is the case

Leper is a loved king, tho

You know, like Baldwin was

If you never read Mignola's Hellboy you should

It's legit good, any issue

No Cred Forums fag here, but I really was impressed when i was introduced to Hellboy little stories

Any DD fan should read them, they're kickass.

...

This game really needs a sequel, or at least a nice meaty expansion pack.

.Wait a second

apparently dlc is comming soon(ish)
Hopefully it adds more enemy varierty, specially with higher difficulties

Deepest lore

O shit

Holy shit that's actually so fucking badass. Questing and murdering evil isn't gunna do itself.

I beg you, return home, claim your birthright and deliver our family from the ravenous clutching shadows of the Deepest Lore

fuck

Where's the one about our home being both opulent and imperial?

HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE

WHAT

Maybe that's why Dismas came along with Reynauld to the hamlet

...

>yfw ambushed by piranha 4 squad on a champion dungeon

Really makes you think.

REYNALD YOU CUNT DON'T YOU DARE

>tfw getting all the ancestor relics and never needing to do a long champion dungeon again

I haven't played in a while, is houndmaster party still in-fucking-vincible?

Maybe they just look alike

Crusader's family is certainly not rich enough to afford a carriage + bodyguards. Also the boy on the left is way younger than the one on the right

Wait why did he die? A heart attack only kills you if you are at death's door, otherwise it just downs your hp to 0

>Resolve test on the leper
>Implying not afflicted

Oh hey so I decided to boot up the game again

Oh boy

Shoot the front most enemy in the face when you encounter them

if I remember correctly when the game first came out things worked differently.

I think the people fail so much at this game is they neglect scouting.

Scouting is fucking OP. There's nothing like navigating a winding maze of a long room battle mission avoiding every single hallway battle caus you can see it coming.

As well as popping into a hallway to nab a curio at the very first tile before going back through the door.

>yfw

>so take solace in a manner befitting your lineage
An unimaginable cosmic power just told me to go kill myself.

>tfw only after 100 hours i learned you can change skills while in a dungeon

wait what? bullshit

Do you start from scratch for each run in this game, or are there persistent elements?

>tfw in the end you only delayed the inevitable and the cosmic horror will just awake later and there will be probably no one to stand against it this time

NOT IF HE COMES TO COLLECT
WITH SICK CRITS
ON
EVERY
TURN

I am actually fucking mad

>he lost to the collector

Fucking scrub.

Dont you fuck with me like this man

Your Hamlet (where you heal, upgrade, recruit, etc) keeps all of its upgrades no matter what, and if you manage to keep your characters alive, they keep weapons, armor, trinkets, skills, etc

you can retreat after the main guy is dead if you need to

these games just force me to take breaks with this kind of shit.different game but I was playing Mordheim city of the damned and I missed 5 times in a row and proceeded to loose my strongest captain. the thing with that game is instead of loosing your unit all together you get the suspense of waiting for the after mission results to find out if the game took mercy on you (which it didn't)

I like collector fights because if you leave the MaA and the vestal alive you can permanently stall the fight until all your heroes are at full HP and 0 stress

Unless I didn't bring someone who can target the back row, fuck the collector then

Go try it yourselves lads, you can swap both camping and combat skills to your liking while questing (Unless you are mid-combat, of course)

Mmm, nah. I'm not see-

FFFFFFFFFFFFUCK

this is incredibly stupid

>Jingles, as in, he's a fucking jester

youtube.com/watch?v=k3J8FYKZ52w

It's a concept called humor user

Don't mind me, just forcing you to sacrifice 4 lvl 0 heroes because your A-team was under stress treatment and I decided to pop up at the least opportune moment... again

thank god the last patch made him stay dead forever

>Junia, as in Joanna D' Ark
Nope

I assumed that they chose what sounded like a Roman name because of her role as a "Vestal", but having googled it just now this seems even more likely: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junia

Otherwise on-point

Why is the crusader trying to redeem himself for? He did nothing wrong. Sure he left his family but it was a sacrifice for a higher cause

>tfw took his bitch ass down without a single loss or stress test
Always have your B and C teams at the ready.

I played this in early access, then again when it finally came out and hated it.

They really fucked up by adding so much RNG.

>Failed Retreat

And every fight until then was fucking a breeze

Man at arms spamming guard totally invalidates this guy.

More DD lewds please

>Occultist leaves his loving Tentacle-wife to go adventuring

Sounds right

Why are people so obsessed with ruining this game by filling the threads with juvenile sexual shit that isn't even good

Protip: The swine king relies on Wilbur to tell him where the enemies are, as he is blind. Kill wilbur first to leave the swine king helpless

Because the chicks are surprisingly waifu-worthy.

First day on the internet?

Thank you.

...

He was obviously a really shitty crusader, considering he was traveling with a highwayman and also starts with the kleptomania quirk

He probably probably gave less and less of a shit about his duties, gave then up for awhile, and then finally decided to turn things around by traveling to the darkest estate to redeem himself

>A moment of valor...shines brightest against the backdrop of despair

Goddammit, Cred Forums, I already have 161 hours in this game. Stop making me want to play it again.

Anyone tried the pitch-black dungeon mod? Supposedly adds variety and challenge to the game but I want to know if the challenge added is fair or even more bullshit-y than vanilla

Can't fucking wait.

Shit son.

This isn't my first rodeo you fucker

Damn

You do play with corpses/heart attacks on, right?

Say that to our faces, bitch.
It can get repetitive, though. Wayne June's voice helps a ton

Aren't you funny.

He lucked out and got Dismas back.

>that one kind fucking dying on the sofa
holy fuck thats the best vidya catalog cover ever

I had a vestal become a nymphomaniac and I sent her to the brothel every time
Then she died to the Vvulf

Survivor's guilt

>mfw never finish the game because its give you more stress than FUN

noice

Damn, Arbalest had a hard life

How does it feel losing this game to PS4theAlphas?

The narrator was fantastic, and so was the general premise of the game, but the absurd amounts of RNG killed it. If you can beat the game with no problems you might as well go to a casino.

the only thing I'm anticipating is PS4fags tears and frustrations

I thought it was because of the retarded amount of grinding. The final dungeon only letting a hero run it once and never again was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Literally grind more: the mechanic.

We've played Bloodborne and all the Souls games, it'll be fine.
I'm curious if there's legit skill involve and PCucks are too stupid to notice so they just say it's RNG.

youtube.com/watch?v=2EP3Lp2izPs

>Wherefore, heroism?

>We've played Bloodborne and all the Souls games, it'll be fine.
>He thinks those games are even moderately hard
>He thinks that Bloodsouls is even comparable to the sheer amount of tears and frustration that DD creates

Naw man this game will straight fuck you sometimes and there'll be nothing you can do

Real talk, is wayne june the finest VA to come out in a while?

I'm not memeing here, i sincerely think he brings the mood to the game, maybe even more so than the artstyle (which i also find great)

In case you're not baiting, there's a very real RNG going on. You can mitigate it to a certain extent is all.

any chance we can not bring this garbage into the thread?
please stop giving it attention. we are actually talking about video games for once on this god forsaken board.

Nah, the game itself doesn't require you to have lightning-fast reflex or other technical skill. Aside from the bullshit RNG, it's all in the preparation and appropriate decision making. After all, it's still a turn-based game

You would be correct, user

Wayne June by himself made the game a solid 7/10 game

I mean PCucks couldn't beat the tutorial boss of Dark Souls 1 for like hours, spewing artificial difficulty. It's hard to take anything PC says seriously, hell they say Overwatch takes skill.

you are not ready

youtube.com/watch?v=0GW-Y445jUc

I also couldn't get into the game, but you're just a massive casual.

Crusader and Arbalest are sufficient healers together if you play aggressive, especially if you trinket them right/pair them heroes that can self heal like the Houndmaster

Its a new Cred Forums meme
To understand what it comes from, google search 'European people art' on images, or regular search 'American inventors'

why the fuck did you start a boss fight with your whole squad at death's door

yeah I have to agree that there were a lot of questionable design choices and it was only enjoyable because of absolutely superb art direction, sound direction and narration. All the sound effects for the attacks are perfect and make you feel every hit.

I really liked the Death's door mechanic but I wonder again if it had more to do with the great sound direction, that bell sfx that plays whenever you get hit was perfect.

One of the leper's lines when he goes on deaths door is "every road ends". That always pops into my head when I'm driving on the highway and see a sign that says lane ends.

so nice to see a DD thread in Cred Forums.

Oh shit

What character is the biggest bro and why is it the Leper?

...

Crowpen

It's a shitty forced meme from Cred Forums, ignore it

I don't understand

...

...

...

Ignore this poster, go ahead and give it a google. I was pretty amused. I wonder why it's so strange like that?

leprosy does not actually cause your limbs to fall off, it does however cause you to lose the ability to feel pain which means you could get wounds or infections without knowing they're there allowing them to advance unchecked, this was historically the real problem with leprosy because most lepers were left to take care of themselves and couldn't manage.

Blood in the mud.

because abomination isn't praying to god

Dazed. Reeling. About to break...

>Siren for the first time

The game's atmosphere, narration and tone are amazing, but holy fuck, so much of it depends on luck. I want to finish The Darkest Dungeon, but whenever I think about how many expeditions I'd have to go on, the amount of money I'd have to spend and the time I'd have to sink in just to get ready for it, I just think to myself 'Nah, fuck that.'

Occs the best

with enough experience you can blaze through the game pretty fast.

I think the world record is beating the game in 30 weeks. I beat it in 72 weeks the first time, 80 the second.

Just picked up this game. Does anyone have some general tips for a new player?

If you search 'American inventors' the first results will be incredibly less signficant black inventors who are placed higher compared than their white inventors
Likewise, if you image search European people art you will find European style art of black people
This is all apart of Google messing with their algorithms to help fight racism, with Google explictly mentioning on creating an algorithm censoring racial slurs

So Cred Forums is replacing 'nigger' with 'google' as a racial slur so that if enough people do it Google's algorithm will detect it and censor themselves on accident

Vestal and Occultists combos will help you out a lot to keep your health up while you learn classes.

the game is not this frustrating

Reminds me of the time when the internet fucked with MS or IBM Super AI so much that it became a jew hating nazi in a matter of hours.

Take more food than you'll think you'll need.

>child in the carriage is obviously very small
>the crusaders son is much bigger

Don't mean to ruin your fun guys, but c'mon.

Only one;
REMIND YOURSELF/spoiler]

After my first venture, I got the Jester and the treasure hunter lady. Is this terrible?

Don't walk around without any light. I know the idea of getting ++++ loot seems tempting, but if you wander around in pitch blackness, you might get ambushed by a boss.

I personally don't like the Jester but he's got buffs, the Grave Robber is pretty gud though if you use her dagger throwing and plague dart

How often should I use a torch? Do I always try to stay at max light?

You mean how Cred Forums found Microsoft's self-learning AI and got it to unironically deny the Holocaust, 9/11, tweet racial slurs in an admittedly funny way, and become a white nationalist?
That shit was fantastic

They're still upset about her being deleted though

never underestimate the power of target marks, both on your party and the enemies.

when hunting in the Ruins, bring a crusader
when hunting in the Warrens, bring a houndmaster
when hunting in the Wealds, bring an arbalest or MAA to reduce damage on marked party members
when hunting in the Cove, be on the lookout for 4 fishmen enemy parties, they can ruin your party positioning real quick, kill the backrows first

Stay above 75 until you feel comfortable with going on treasure hunts on lower light levels. Having no torch will summon the hardest boss in the game randomly though.

Dont be afraid to fail.
It will not get better if you carry on.
"Heroes" are expendable, trinkets are not.
Do not underestimate stress.
Crowd control is required.
Ask yourself if you really crave the void.
Kill the little pig first.
Dont read books.
Do not get attached to anyone.
Learn to identify synergies.
Remind yourself, that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

bring along a healer

if you have to abandon then do it, level 0 heroes are the only free and unlimited resource in the game so if your rookies got fucked just fire them and take on some fresh meat. This isn't like XCOM where if you waste time the enemies become stronger than you and you're fucked.

>kill the pig first

Oh wait I meant the antique lady, not grave robber.

...

Oh well she's good for getting cash if you have a healer or someone that can cover her ass.

Her only good skill is Protect Me. Only take her if you feel like being greedy and rolling around in fat stacks of loot.

They mentioned a true Roguelike mode in a stream, like you'd start a dungeon and keep going until a party wipe. DESU I like this game more than DaS3

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

that was cold.

Absolutely comfy

Finale is pretty sick though.

THE FLOW OF TIME IS CONVOLUTED

I can never find a comfortable position for him and don't like him getting up to the front row. Highway man with Duelist Advance and Point Blank Shot is some hot shit though.

What's some more classes we need?

start him on the front row. Let him Finale as his first move. The rest of the fight is him buffing up and stressing down.

Finale does so much fucking damage that just one use of that skill will pretty much guarantee a kill if you target something squishy.

Then improve your chances with buffs or trinkets. Personally I've made a pact to never get a leper or occultist because they are the most RNG based classes.

When you understand a bit about how the algorithm works, it's clear that this is just another bit of Google code being fucky.

When Google hears 'American inventors', it currently automatically assumes 'AFRICAN American inventors', because a comparatively larger amount of searches centered on people, inventors especially, include 'African American' than just 'American'. Same thing with 'European people art' and 'European BLACK people art'.

It's probably the skittles' fault, though.

the "never again" system is just the culmination of all the mechanics designed to keep you outside of your comfort zone. It's the end of the resolve level restrictions.

They predicted people would just get 4 extremely powerful heroes with perfect locked quirks and just blow through the final dungeons. In order to force you to use unoptimized and unfamiliar setups, they added the never again system.

They died in the 2nd dungeon for me.

Oh no, I get that

I still want to do it though because Google is becoming increasingly cancer

No hound master comic?

Alright you filth, post your favorite class, your favorite palette with said class and favorite skill set up.

It isn't. However, 'black people art' is much more popular than 'people' or 'European people'. It's just shitty coding.

I hope you realize that, if you're an actual activist and not just shitposting for kicks, this is probably the worst way to go about it. Forcing a meme centered exclusively around racism (and will be used exclusively by 4channers and wannabe 4channers) to "protest" a media conglomerate's questionable business decisions gets a message across so poorly that it may end up harming the cases of the people actually fighting against it. After all, who would listen to someone who clearly agrees with those sperglords giggling about the fresh new memeslang they're spouting?
I'll stop, now. I don't want to start a flame war.

They died with the Wretched Hag for me. I hadn't realized that the retreat function was OP yet, and wiped hardcore.

...

>the retreat function was OP
In what way?

>Slowly, gently, this is how a life is taken

50% of the enjoyment in this game can be attributed to the narration.

laughed at that more than i should have

Slightly cleaned.

For one, it let you utterly ruin any sense of tension or resource management the game had. The stress hit for running from a fight and abandoning a quest is fairly manageable, and once you realize that you can just repeatedly farm an easy dungeon with a shit team and not even have the dungeon bar fill up means that grinding becomes an option.

At that point, the game becomes a slightly more annoying TBTRPG

So the lore is that the thing beneath the manor was/is a seeded colossal life form, like a fungal creature that is laced into planet, which acts as its egg, and the Moor seems to be a birthing point for it. Throughout history the populations that have settled there have been subjugated by its will; its presence beneath the soil taints the Weald, the primitive Pelagic life representing its oldest servants, and the manor and the Ancestor its most recent. And every single death on the planet feeds the creature below, as bodies are buried and blood seeps into the soil, humanity is a byproduct or fertilizer born from the creature, part of its life cycle, shapeless shoggoths that unconsciously deny their true nature, to the point where they feel and appear human. Right?

I thought that Reynauld was supposed to die in tutorial! Those bandits just crit rushed him down before I could do anything... And I thought DaS tutorial was hardcore

I gave up ever trying to win after I found out how tough Champion dungeons are. I had four dudes fully upgraded with very rare trinkets and still got assraped no lube.

I've never even seen the inside of the Darkest Dungeon since I can't get a team that's strong enough to clear the 3rd boss fights.

How does those classes break the game?

Yeah

Which makes fucking the stupidly named hard mode ng+ incredibly stupid to even include. Since it goes against that a tad and nothing fucking changes when beaten. Fucking retarded i swear though it was a long as time ago when i beat it.

So has hardmode/ng+ gotten any significant changes or even at least a super slightly changed ending to it? Cause im still super pissed about wasting my time on that dumb shit for fucking nothing.

There is another version of the same picture which makes the eyes no longer visible, but I think the hair is still there. Google it if you want it.

I'm looking forward to the vestal comic.

Did you guys like Antiquarian? I thought she was pretty cool, works good with highwayman.

Try stunning the giganiggas. Occultist and I think some other classes can also debuff their damage.

Try looking up the artists in this image, it's from the DD website as what art styles they drew from to make the game.

hate the whole "grind to not die (as much) to RNG" thing but the dialogue and narration is top fucking notch.

PAID FOR IN BLOOD

N-N-No you can't? Can you?

You only need to sacrifice 1

>mfw Dismas got a virtue when fighting Heart of Darkness

i really enjoyed the game but I felt like there was very little feeling of progression

once you complete the first tier of missions, the second and third tier offer very little extra in terms of content

there's typically a new enemy type or two, but bosses are basically the same thing outside of higher stats and maybe a new attack. you don't really end up seeing any new content until you hit the Darkest Dungeon

that and end-game can feel very grindy, especially if you lose some high level dudes. luckily they have fixed that quite a bit with the recent updates

Fucking hate the rng on mordhiem sometimes.

Now thats a weak origin.

It is but it was hinted at ingame

Don't wiki bosses. Trial and error is more satisfying.

For later level cove hunting, bring a plague doctor.

Great game completely ruined by the shitty final dungeon mechanics.

Definitely use the wiki for bosses and curios. Some "surprises" will hit you straight out of left field, and can sap your motivation to continue.

>Kill the little pig first.

literally more evil than Azathoth

Can you play this with a gamepad?

bad advice, go in unspoiled, plan for the unexpected, think and be attentive to tells of a bosses name and the area they're in. Don't be afraid to retreat, you'll at least gain intel on resistances, attack patterns etc.

The grind isn't nearly as bad as people say, if you use your head.

I'm so sorry

Anyone got any tips for the second darkest dungeon?

I'm training up some MAAs because I figure a MAA will be prime for defending the one schmuck who can't wear a torch.

Yes I know about the super attack. I went through every other regular bosses' shit unspoiled but the DD is such a load of bull I feel no regrets.

Leper doesn't do anything to help anyone but himself.

That's his whole schtick, being for the most part totally self reliant. All you might want is a jester or a Maa to buff his acc but the guy can heal himself, protect himself, de-stress himself, and deal loads of damage.

Well that's the casual way around. Pleb

>EXTENT OF MY FAILINGS
>(estimation)

I read it as ''they're poor, daddy was a vet, stole to feed his kid, got caught'' though the angry mob certainly implies racists shit too

I think it is cool.

Hiding in the trees.

This game needs a mordheim spinoff.

Haven't successive patches kinda soften the brutal RNG and grind a bit?

I'm glad I'm not the only person that thinks DD is basically sidescrolling Mordheim.

Or is Mordheim a Third Person DD?

Yes.

Thought they've also mucked with some of the cheaper strategies that made the game pretty ez.

Full teams of breakthrough hellions/holy lance pallies aren't effective anymore, and dark runs aren't quite as viable now that jesters can't heal stress from the whole party at once.

Mordheim is TT, not vidya.

>when your healer gets INTO THE POT

No I mean the Mordheim game, there's actually is one. Came out like last year

How Can Mordheim Be Real If Warhammer Fantasy Isn't Real?

What a gigantic retard.

Sounds good to me. Healing against the hag is a waste. Regardless of the dungeon level it's better to just burst her down with high backrow damage/bleed stacking.

Kek I did the same thing except instead of laying those tasty statuses on him my crossbow nigger just one shot 'em and permanently triggered the swine king.

>TFW you post about it in the general and everyone calls you a dumb fag.
>TFW they aren't wrong

It's not very good though.

>Each character is implied to be a unique individual
>You can recruit multiple characters of a given type
Triggered.
I'd love to do a run where I only recruit one of each class and if they die they die. It sounds really fun but you're probably going to outlevel the low level dungeons before you clear them and that's that.

The men were probably armed as well, so he took them out before risking a stand off by being nice about it.

Which class has the worst moveset diversity and why is it plague doctor?

Seriously you're ALWAYS gonna get both forms of plague bomb (front row and double back row ones) and you're ALWAYS gonna get double back row stun. She literally has one free moveslot for either vapours or medicine.

I know but it's fun enough for me

...

i got this acheevo through save scumming

I once won a shambler battle with only hellion on death's door left. She resisted death blows for 10 minutes. I was fucking shitting myself when she just kept resisting them repeatedly.

>boss run
>taking healers with you

I'm thinking about a Abomination/Abomination/Jester/Occultist party, Occultist heals and pulls the back row, Jester detresses and finale, and Abominations tank and fucking go to town.

>Dismas spends half the fight at Death's Door
>Maxes out stress and becomes Powerful
>Bleeds to death after the fight

Holy fuck I hate googles like you who abuse the spoiler text this much. Fucking googles.

I don't understand how people don't get that the RNG can work for you.

That's what I love about tis game.

man, i really want to get into this game, i love everything about it, the artstyle, the setting, all that shit. But i hate RNG with a bruning passion. I fucking despise having my time and effort wasted because of a yahtzee mechanic. I don't even care if "oh well sometimes its in your favour", i'd rather it be nothing at all. How am I supposed to plan anything or play safe when my fate is dependent on pure luck.

It doesn't help that I suck at thess types of games, I don't need game itself trying to fuck me over too. XCOM was bad enough, but at least you can increase your odds with weapon add ons and well positioned guys, and then retreat certain individuals that have taken more of a beating.
Are there not plans to remove or at least tone down the dice rolls? I seriously don't understand how anyone can ever find RNG fun.

The RNG hits hard at the start when your guys and resources are limited. Then it eases right off until right near the end of your regular runs when you get to the long champion missions (which are a major step up).

It then goes up again when you do the darkest dungeon missions.

But that whole massive mid part of the game? A cakewalk honestly.

Is the leveling still weirdly paced?

the final tier of dungeons turn in to too much of a grind and the difficulty jumps up a lot so I lose guys every run

>implying i'm going to grind another 3 dudes to leve l5/6 again

> 'Steady, girl. If we're called, we answer.'

This one hurt the most, always I feel like dogshit when a houndmaster dies

I find it funny this game came out before broquest did

I always let them die in the tutorial because it makes more sense thematically

why?

>before
I think you mean "at all, unlike"

just like me, i guess the game design is a bit convoluted

I got 35 hours into it during the greeblight stage, the game was just fucking fine without these 2 mechanics. Having others consequences aside from having to complete stop your dungeon run would be welcome too.

Dont act like these devs were any different. If their kekstarter wasnt funded, this mediocre came wouldnt exist

Can someone post the houndmaster comic ? Or the plague doctor one

saved pic

don't exist yet

Ah, sad

Was there a broquest kickstarter that didn't get funded?

I think because DD and Broquest have sort of the same idea of a bunch of generic shlubs, falling into various archetypes, going on an adventure. They aren't "the chosen ones" like in jRPGs.

>not using corpses to your benefit

When your team starts winning, that shit is so satisfying

>THERE FORMATION IS BROKEN! MAINTAIN THE ADVANTAGE!

6/10 (Sounds pretty casual)

Plague doctor,Occultist,Bounty hunter,Hellion

Never said i didnt, its just amechanic i dont like

That's an interesting party setup. What skills do you use with hellion and bounty hunter?

I only started the game
Your comp look good, but the heal is pretty RNG-based

Waited till ps4 release. Now I can play it

I actually like the RNG, There is nothing more satisfying than healing a character from 0 to full with one skill. But to be honest I have actually killed 2 of my character with occultist. That's Why I pair him up with plague doctor who can get rid of those bleeds.

man at arms makes the fight a walk in the park

...

thats the best thing that can happen, you never hit the pot, just go straight for the hag

most people keep complaining about the game's RNG when it is mostly the players fault for making bad decisions

Not him but the BH's knife throw does bonus vs marked.

Just slap on a cleansing crystal and presto. No bleeds.

>BACK INTO THE PIT

Question: do you get more story on a second playthrough besides the different tutorial?

RNG is a slow and insidious killer

i heard hellion apparently licks wounds
i've never seen dialogue relating to this is this true
i think i have a new fetish

>man, those marks are fucking my shit up
>next time, I'll go for the little one first
>mfw

>he doesnt suck the blood from his hands when he gets cut
Are you even a man?

>got to the 2nd DD run
>Got rng crit to death multiple times, tried farming cheese setups, gave up after making a 3rd or 4th party of all 6ers
I cleared more or less everything else, but fuck I just kept getting massively unlucky with stress and crits. One of the very few games I've given up halfway through.
I want to go back someday, but also do not for the better of me.

it can't be my bad decision, because in some scenarios it seems just like a case of rocks fall everyone dies
if i choose to attack, then miss because "uh reasons", that's not my fault, that's RNG.
likewise, if i get "surprised", and then all the mobs crit my healer straight into death's door, as far as i'm aware, that isn't my fault. I have essentially been given a disadvantage for absolutely no reason. It's not fun, it's irritating, and just makes me want to quit the game because all my progress was just ruined by an arbitrary bit of code shitting out a number that was bad.

It truly baffles me that someone sat back and decided that a fun game mechanic would be for the game to, at random intervals, pull down its pants and gently squeeze a warm shit into my mouth

the manly thing to do is resisting the urge to suck your wound and let the blood coagulate so it'll heal fast
cleaning it out once is still okay

REMIND YOURSELF

DOTA 2 ANNOUNCER WHEN
Haven't played it in 2 years.
But still want the announcer for some reason.

Usually turn based RPGs and strategy games have hit and miss percentages, even if they arent visible on the screen. So I guess all of those games are shit.

It takes all the bad parts of rogue-like games but none of the good parts. There is little to no progression in the game and all the dungeons are pretty much the same. Player skill is highly diminished because of the extreme RNG on every single aspect. Once you have ran through it a few times you have seen it all.

I really wanted to like this game but the problem is that it's just not that fun.

Sometimes you lose even if you make the right choice.
If you can't handle it, don't play games like this.

...

For the love of god focus the stress-dealers first (usually they are in the 3rd-4th rank)

>Playing like shit
>most of my party gets stressed from wine tossing skellies and badmouthing whores
>One hits the treshhold, it all goes tumbling do-
>COURAGEOUS
>Proceeds to unstress the baby team for rest of the dungeon

Frankly, I found the RNG in the game to some of the most ass-clenching shit I've ever experienced.

However, I do think that the bullshit RNG and the mid-game grind, while irritating in their own right, had its own effect on the narrative of the game, mainly it reinforcing the fact that efforts and good deeds can be dashed against the stones, and that even when you think you're above it, you are quickly reminded of your overconfidence

TIME IS ALL AN ILLUSION. LALALALALALA

...

Spear-wielding class that attacks the 1st-2nd enemy rows if in the 3rd-4th row and attacks the 3rd-4th one if in the 1st-2nd himself

Class that deals stress to himself (probably companions too) but has abilities that deal more damage when stressed (+x% damage if Stress above 50/75 or whatever)

The gameplay mimics the atmosphere perfectly, and that is why this game is popular. Four very human heroes enter a dungeon in search of wealth, fame and redemption and are met face to face with foes ranging from bandits to eldritch horrors. As you would expect, the farther they go, the harder it gets. The physical and mental stress can easily become overwhelming and often claim lives. Sometimes even in real life blows that should have killed didn't and shit can just hit the fan. But then sometimes that sense of hopelessness turns mortal men on the brink of insanity and death to a literal hero capable of leading your party to victory.

does anyone know where to get the music for "combat in the ruins" as the separate tracks dependent on light level, as opposed to the mixed track you see on youtube?: youtube.com/watch?v=UzozKEl_r7s

someone's already done this for the exploration music, so a playlist of the combat music would be amazing: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlU06qs-wQwZT5aIDWD4jwDnaEgplYVSR

ETRIAN CLASSES MOD WHERE

Use stuns. Stuns are your friend.
Also upgrade your equipment, for fucks sake. Armor upgrades increase dodge chance, thus saving you from healing/unstressing so often.

Pretty much all you NEED to get for the second darkest dungeon is a MaA to protect the trinket-less fuck.

Also head for the double-templar fight first, it is the easiest if you manage to swap the templar's positions (Back one to the front and vice versa) as they will be unable to use their strongest attacks.

You can apply this same strat in the others but the minions have attacks that move them back/forward

>"never again" system
