throw my drink at him over and over until he has a heart attack.

Compliment his sexy outfit

Skeletons don't drink

>throwing your drink from the front row

Dumb skeleton poster.

Is he supposed to look like a cataphract on foot or something?

Can't bone from he front row.

spook him

shit game made shittier by even more shitty decision making by the crap devs.

Bend over

>full game comes out
>don't feel like playing the game anymore
How much grind is there?

...

I grab that cunts meat and shuffle the fuck out of him back.

Try and poke him with my dagger or something.

This. If you take risks, rng fucks with you too many times. If you don't, the grind is too tedious.

The ps4 version is coming out today right?
Does it have any changes?

Whats the strongest party composition in darkest dungeon?

There is none, you pick and choose based on the level. And you train up lots and lots of heroes that you can cobble together any which ways.

Bounty Hunter, Bounty Hunter, Bounty Hunter, Bounty Hunter

Well yeah but obviously there are some compositions that have better synergy that worka well together. Cultist, arbilast, hound master and bounty hunter for example.

Depends on the dungeon

But you can't go wrong with 4 houndmasters

Plague doctor,Vestal,Houndmaster,Hellion.
g fucking g

I don't know about strongest but here are the meme-est

4 Jesters

4 Highwayman with duelist advance and point-blank shot

2nd row vestal with profane scroll

4 Antiquarians for massive loot (Alternatively 2 antiquarians + 2 graverobbers with toxin trickery)

I haven't played this RNG grindfest in a long time so don't know if they changed anything but I found Vestal, BH, BH, Helion to be easy mode. Stack +stun items on helion and her base stun % gets to absurd levels on the move that lets you keep the front 2 enemy spots permastunned while BH cleans up back. Vestal for sustain and extra stuns as needed.

I miss my meme movement formation with Jester, Highway Man and Grave Robber

best shambler-hunting party?

The skeleton behind me uses graveyard swing.

holy shit my fucking sides.

thank you.

Man-at-Arms, Bounty Hunter, Vestal, Crossbowman

Enjoy your billions of damage,

Depends on the map. In general these characters are all S Tier: Crusader, Houndmaster, Man-at-arms, Hellion.

What good is the Crusader?

On a scale of deus vult to deus vult, deus definitely vult.

...

Depends on the mission type, different boss fights can be made completely trivial with the right party comp.
With that in mind, iv found that the best all rounded party is
Arbalest/ocultist/houndmaster/bounty hunter

How do you mean? Dude is tanky as fuck, can re-shuffle himself out of shitty positions while dealing a fuck ton of damage, stuns,has general stress healing plus minor healing, some of the absolute best camping skills in the game.

Crusader is one of the best characters in the game.

Also his damage boost to undead makes him almost a mandatory pick anytime you go into the ruins, so you can oneshot wine-faggots.

Bretty good on ruins missions

so crusader can go in every party?

>No poison.
>Only one ocultist to deal with water stage.

Your team is shit. I understand you were going for something well rounded, but this comp literally covers all bases: Plague doctor, Vestal, Crusader, Hellion.

Take 2 crusaders with holy lance in positions 3-2, making sure the one in position 3 has the highest speed

Enjoy your gatling gun of skelly-killing

This
His campin skills together with the man at arms are some of the best in the game, just take him to the ruins and purify undead

Technically, yes. His biggest drawback is that he is slow as fuck, but that really doesnt matter with all of the raw damage AND utility he provides.

He is S tier along with MaA, Hellion, and Houndmaster.

>Hellion being good for anything.

>Good damage
>Can target all the enemy rows from position 1
>Godlike stun
>Good buff
>Good camping skills

you are good for nothing

Damn i miss the times when holy lance worked from pos 2.

>I'm a retard who thinks one of the best characters in the game is terrible.

Wow.

> depends on the mission type
Besides that comp isn't even remotely close to well-rounded, at least not with the trinkets i set them up

>good damage
Yea for 1 hit. Every character does her job better by now.

the deus vult never stops

Hellion is fucking amazing, you're an imbecile if you think otherwise

Name 1 other character that can target the 4th rank from position 1.

Iron swan alone makes hellion top tier

REMIND YOURSELF THAT you can swap combat and camping skills while on a dungeon as long as you aren't in the middle of combat or camping

I love how depressing these are, but Highwayman's is fucking horrifying.

Some like to think the woman and child he shot are the same pair in the crusader comic

Deepest lore

YOU CAN WHAT

...

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

What's next for Red Hook?

DLC has been confirmed by devs

YOU WHAT. There is no way. There is no way I went the entire game without knowing that.

Reinstalling

I hope DLC as a new campaign or something then, because I really don't feel like playing all that grinding all over again.

Well this should be interesting.

IMPOSSIBLE

I can literally play this game with one hand.

>However he still provided for them by stealing the spoils of war like the fucking kleptomaniac he is
>Family thrives with all dis loot

>Feels guilty over shooting a woman and his child
>Reynauld finds out about this, feels guilty as well
>Embark on one last crusade in the hamlet, without knowing his companion is the one that shot his family
>Dismas tags along reynauld to redeem himself for shooting this man's family

deepest lore

Blood in the mud.

Nah I don't think the crusader knows what the highwayman did. But one day he will.

>Reynauld abandons his family to go crusading
>Dismas accidentally murders them
>Both men are overcome with guilt and venture to the Darkest Dungeon
>They meet on the way and be come bros
>Neither has any idea about the truth

When the truth comes out they'll become gay lovers

I felt like a fucking retard when I discovered this after previously toughing out a dungeon with a Vestal with no heal skills because I forgot to switch them on

Sacrifice both of them to the heart of darkness

They die a noble death without ruining their friendship

both kids are completely different ages, I doubt that its his wife and child

>On the old road, we found redemption.

No he shot his own son, that women was bringing him to see his father.

any protips for newfag?

why would he be a highwayman if he is already rich? (seeing as his family can afford escorts and such)

Kill the little piggy first

MFW

Overconfidence is:
[ ] A slow killer
[ ] An insidious killer
[X] All of the above

also

Increase caravan size and network asap.

Research which skills you want beforehand before wasting money.

Armor > Weapons.

>Many fall in the face of chaos but not this one, not today
>mfw

The virtue lines are easily my favorites

Best voiced lines I agree. What each character says when you sacrifice them at the end is great though., wish it was voiced.

RIP Leperbro

do not upgrade the weapons and armor of everyone in your roster. Only upgrade those that you are going to use in the next dungeon run.
Use stunning skills. Stuns are your friend when you can't secure a kill and you need that asshat wine tossing skeleton to stop staining your clothes.

voiced line, yeah.

Personally my favorite lines are their affliction lines.

It reveals a lot about their characters and past. Crusader, for example, was molested by his priest and abused by his father.

Don't waste any resources on your guys before week 25, max and upgrade caravan and rooster size asap and consider recruits as a disposable income, if they become afflicted you give them the boot, start upgrading skills and armor past week 25 or else

I miss /dadg/ ;_;

Recommend mods for NG+

Single-player only game with no speedrunning, combos, or romance options. So people ran outta shit to talk about.

So what new dungeons and classes do you guys want?

:(

A Lovecraft reskin like the art that's floating around.

More waifus.
Seriously though, more skin options for existing classes. Something more than just pallet swapping.

Snowy mountain area.

What are some mandatory mods that make the game playable for someone who has completed it a few times already?

A swamp area would be cool.

Could have leeches that cause bleed and they self heal from it
Frogs that can swallow your team members and do affliction damage every turn.
mosquitoes that cause poison damage

Could have a boss made of mud that lowers the fuck out of all your characters speed.
And a dragonfly boss that functions like a glass cannon sort of boss.

A class I would love to see if a lovecraft shifter, similar to the abomination.

A necromancer would also be fucking awesome, could summon various monsters for various purposes, but could only have one out at a time.

There is not enough to talk about, unlike ksg

Weapon reskins

4 dogemen

...

A skeleton class

what


what


what

every class is a skeleton class,in a way

Every time I see this game all I read is "RNG fucks you over"

Is this FTL style "RNG fucks you over because you cant play for shit" or "You might as well go roll a die RNG because this is skill-less"

>Traveling through the Weald, minding your own business
>This shows up and slap's your gf's ass
What do?

Dungeons
>Burning Village (basically expanded Bandit raid)
>Abandoned Farmland
>Mountain

Classes
>Druid (shapeshifting)
>Spellsword (focus on buffing self/party with magical augments and melee attacks, similar to MaA buff more offensive oriented)

STRIKE THE POT

Does the jester impale himself when using finale? what the fuck

Mark and crit the shit out of the fat bitch behind it

>[strike the pot intensifies]
Fuck that fight,I just let my tank character jump in there and hope he sustain the death's door

found this floating around

How is the ps4 port? I'm thinking of buying it since I don't have a capable computer at the moment

The spear is in his left hand. Where did he get it though?

We already have the abomination for shapeshifting hero

You weren't a help at all.

>Merchant
Antiquarian

I think I might double dip since it's surprisingly cross buy and I think it'll play better to me as a mobile game.

He's limited to a single form and can't be used with multiple classes.

initially I thought he was bluffing and the spear went through his armpit, but it does seems to pierce him. Finale probably dealt huge self damage originally but they changed it and forgot the art.

"Merchant" is the Antiquarian
Lord tier design I believe is the Abomination.

If you know how DD works, i.e. classes, trinkets, and enemies, the RNG is easily manageable.

Is there any difference storywise on runs after you beat the game once?

Leperbro should be the canon sacrifice, he's got nothing else to live for. Assuming Reynauld and Dismas entering the Darkest Dungeon is also canon I'm not sure who the fourth should be.

That's old now and the Merchant is the Antiquarian now. the 'Lord Tier Design' was the Abomination.

this is correct.
That doesn't mean it's the only classes they will add;they've also add the arbalisto

Fuck I laughed so hard

Focus fire stress inducing enemies first

>you will never be gang raped by a roaming band of hellions looking for a place to drink and party before going off to a battle they might not return from the next day

why even live lads

I think you get one or two extra lines at the beginning and a slightly different tutorial, that's it if you go for NG+

The Hellion is ugly as fuck.

Weapons and armor should change graphics with upgrades, biggest nitpick I have with the game.

YOU are ugly as fuck you shambler-looking fagit

As a fan of the pc version was a bit disappointed.

On the pro side, it's all pretty current content. And there's vita ps4 cross save

On the downside, the controls are a bit tricky. It's clunky in that theres a lot of info in pc you get by mouse over, and controls not great for that

Also the font on vita is tiny as fuck

Redhook studio ask you what other class they should implement in the next patch, what it is ?

>unknowable, all-powerful cosmic horror that probably created all life appears
>punch it in the jaw, stun it
Why is he so based?

Even just taking ONE of her best skills would make her top tier. Iron Swan alone can eliminate stress damagers instantly, even if you ignore her fucking OP stun attack

*snort*

Whore

...

Footsoldier, spears faggots from the back row and can push enemies back.

they should add more "evil" classes to interact with the religious ones, or else drop the mechanic altogether

Develop.

What game?

highwayman is really based in early level dungeons where you don't need to worry about buffing your squish characters
>tactical nuke killstreak
how quickly the keks turn

Darkest dungeon

>More classes that won't party with each other

where's my assassin class?
where s is my ronin class?
where is my trap layer class?

>trap layer class
How does that even work when you're always on the move? The only time I could see it is during the bandit raid on the town, where you could place traps int he Hamlet before they arrive and weaken them during the actual fighting.

honestly I never had trouble with the pot

it's the cannon that fucked me

oops you missed the matchman twice in a row, RIP your entire fucking team

Speaking of which, they should have added sex as a way to relieve stress during camping.

Pikeman/Halberdier

or a 2-size hero Cavalier/Cuirassier

>Cannon malfunctions

...

I see, as long as it isn't too much of a bother I can get used to semi bad controls

...

Didn't Cred Forums get a special plague doctor in the game with nymphomania and deviant tastes?

me too mate.
doesn't help that it's the first /vg/ thread i got into

...

Yes, her name is Briar Patch.

Nice

>man slayer

More like "Mans Layer"

> missing the matchman twice in a row
You deserve it

>implying his shuffle didnt miss for the 10th time in a row

As someone else said, necromancer. But, I'd like to add on to it.
To use necromancer, you'd have to gimp yourself by always having a three man party, in order for the necromancer to summon an undead creature. Otherwise, he won't be able to summon, and you'd lose the abilities of whatever undead you could have used.

Grave digger, sickly knight, crow doctor, and sister of battle

Can do every dungeon on 0 torch light

Stun it

...

PLAGUE WAIFU COMIC WHEN

He better have Corpse Explosion.

Right after Bounty Hunter, Houndmaster, Jester, and Vestal.

Abomination.

>No love for Leper

what happened to the GOAT class?

Jester Vestal Houndmaster Hellion

They can take on any dungeon with 0 provisions and come out of it at full hp 0 stress.

What good necromancer doesn't have Corpse Explosion? It'd be like a blacksmith not using a hammer.

I still like my hew happy Leper

I can't name a single necro with CE besides the Diablo 2 one.

I used to put Lepers in 1 and 2 and just hew everything to death

I don't care if the child looks too young in the Highwayman comic, I believe in this tragedy

>no healer
Why him?

Doesn't the pot have like a million res to stun? Even more so on tear 2-3 dung

He welcomes death, like an old friend.

I repeat, what GOOD necromancer doesn't have Corpse Explosion.
Without it, it's not a true necromancer.

Considering the whole game is built on people suffering, I would like to believe this tragedy, too. I also hope they both told the other, and still retained their broship.

assassin and trap dude exist as mods

Who is the artist for this game? Fucking god-tier work.

but religious characters don't work with FOUL BEASTS

I just want a rework of the hunger mechanic. It's bad.

Fuck off tragedy fish

Bitch thats a norse helmet

I'd really like to get this achievement but I suck shit at the game. I wanna do my boys right.

Them going out in a blaze of glory is like the best ending.

holy shit

Is there no general on vg for Darkest Dungeon anymore? When did it die?

True ending

1°job
Highwayman

Duelist or pirate or Granadier

1° Crusader

2° job: Inquisidor , Templar , etc.

infinite job and skills..

So advanced classes?

Guys my gf just texted me that she is finally on her period. Not DD related but I'm happy as fuck my life didn't go to the shitter.

You know there's a different spin you can take on the comic.

Instead of abandoning his family, maybe he was actually told to do an expedition to the village to eliminate heretics.
Then seeing that it's his family he turned the party around.

Let a man dream ok?

Keep drinking

how bad is the grind in this game? I dont really have much patience for such things

pretty bad

This was fun while it lasted.

She was hotter before she was exiled to the Weald

...

pity, the artstyle seems nice

...

thing that was really disappointing was A and B team bullshit, wish you could just go with one team the whole way

i 100% the hamlet around 120-130weeks (all bosses dead, darkest dungeon cleared for a good 10 weeks).
and for the playtrough i aborted a dozen missions and had a single wipe.
tldr: the grind is real but not overwhelming.

Hey! Hey! Spoilers, mate.

>i 100% the hamlet around 120-130weeks
how much is that in real time

1 week = 1 dungeon excursion. So it depends on how long you take.

I should finish that Vestal (Male) skin one of these days

Super gay.

You have a never ending roster of low level characters to experiment upon. Go for it, faggot.

There used to be a pretty useful pastebin which rated each class and their abilities and provided tips and advice, but it died with /dadg/.
Anyone have it saved?

I recognise that bulge!

I love this.

>tfw no skeleton gf

Fucking highwayman heads and their guaranteed crits.

Well I feel like an idiot now.

At first I hated this guy but later in the game you're happy to see him because it's EZ money.

It's funny but I can actually envision that happening with Hellion. Bitch would probably get all horned up for the alpha male of the group.

No you can't. You're wrong. Why would you choose to be so wrong?

I still have the scars from the last time I beat the game.

But that was before the new class and the town events. And I've got an itch to try a new run with the new content.

Help.

Given the fact that he looks like a cataphract and is probably of persian or arabic descent, he has probably seen some shit, since an arab wrote the necronomicon in Lovecraft's lore. God knows what kind of abominations dwell in those barren lands.

>never again mechanic
Artificially adding grind for no fucking reason, who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

Nigger what? He's wearing a vendel helmet and leather armour. He's a viking or Saxon.

Maybe the dlc will make the endgame not garbage.

>dlc adds spies and ninjas

FTL there's some basic strategies to keep you going on minimal equipment, and the RNG helps as much as hinders.

DD (in my experience) doesn't have as many beneficial events. I've lost ten times as many guys to afflictions as I have empowered them with resolve.

Source please.

What is the antiqurian or whatever for? What is the point of this class? I assume spamming that trinket find camp ability? Or does it have a hidden purpose?

...

Extra cash.

dosh

greenbacks

So I played the game maybe around december-january 2015, so before houndmaster and everything.

I found it was fun at first but then got tedious.

Is the balance still hilariously fucked?
Are dungeons still basically procedurally generated board games but incredibly boring as nothing really happens if you bring some shovels and food for the bullshit, as well as a few items if you wanna open any of the stuff.

What about the quirks? They were awful back then
They were all randomly assigned so you could have a shit run and everyone would get good things or an amazing run and now everyone has autism and leprosy. The quirk overriding after you reach the max was awful, as was the way they worked. Shit like the '-10% accuracy and dmg' or the 'automatically loots things' made characters complete garbage unless you got rid of it while everything else was either ridiculously broken like the dmg boosters or just didn't do anything at all.

That and the fact that your adventurers levelled faster than you could complete things so you'd have to grind up more and more adventurers to do the lower level content to unlock all the higher level content, which was not fun.

It just lost its charm after a bit, did they ever fix any of that?

>Behold the heart of the world, progenitor of life, your father and mother, alpha and omega, your creator and your destroyer
SUCK MY DIIIIIICCCK

Darkest Dungeon has awesome art

How the fuck am I drinking if I'm a skeleton?

Leper doesn't fuck around.

He used to, back in early versions when his accuracy was piss poor.

fleshy friendlies helping your skeleton out

Is there a mod or dlc that fixes the "nothing you did ever actually mattered because everything is too far beyond fucked before you even started to try, better luck next time" thing? I really like the artstyle and I can put up with the grind but cheapening all the shit that I pushed through just to get that thrown on top really killed it for me

I send him on a fetch quest that never ends so he hopefully doesnt kill me.

What kind of skins would Cred Forums like to see?

Would Darkest Dungeon make a good tv-show?

A good shindol doujin

No shit, it's for splashing at people.

Give it to me straight, Cred Forums. Is this game worth buying?

I don't know much and it looks kind of interesting.

>Cred Forums forcing their tastes into every board

Belive me, probably 97€ of Cred Forums would probably hate a Shondol doujin

are you guys memeing me? I killed wilbur and fat piggy went fucking bonkers and smashed my party

yfw upon seeing the final boss's type as "cosmic"

You got baited. Never ever kill Wilbur first.

I did that the first time and got incredibly lucky to survive the encounter.

How quickly the tide turns.

...

HOW QUICKLY THE TIDE TURNS

Every antiquarian increases your gold per stack by 500. She also has some nice defensive skills (Team-wide +dodge, Force guard, and take cover)

Also she has camping skill that produces a random trinket

what an awful team composition

seems like you got overconfident

While she is in the party high stacking and high value items will drop. Regular gold will also stack higher.

Downside is that packs laden with loot are often short on supplies.

The Fartmancer, a wizard who uses farts is has an anus for a face

haha

More enemy variety in higher difficulty dungeons or make the current enemies use new skills in champion and expert dungeons.

Also a new class

>In life, I knew him well; for ne'er was a wall bare of that facetious grin. Wherever that boil of a man went, eminated the foul stench of entitled officary.

>In despair the people turned to its governance; the blind casting its ire unto the blind. His words fell silent as defenestration took its toll; I found no quarrel in this.

>Emerging from the wastes of the elective swine; born anew to lament in his woeful dirge. In this, I find that the message remains the same; utter, and complete shyte.

This has been standard since the arbalest was added I think. But before then, you were truly locked on what you had. That shit fucking sucked.

Is possible to kill the Heart before he kills any of your dudes.

I've never done it and it needs a specialised build and party, but if you manage it then you basically win scott free (as long as your surviving party is willing to train others in the future).

It is worth buying unless you HATE either RNG or even a little bit of grinding.
