Who needs dodging anyway when you're sitting on 60Hp and get hit for 2-4 by any attack   Fun game so far. Can be infuriatingly random at times, though.

Jester absolutely owns when you upgrade his buff a couple of times. I killed the tier2 necromancer without going below 80% hp on any of my characters, and I don't think the skeletons got a single hit off. Crits everywhere.

This bug with the Sanitarium not removing the proper trait is annoying. I've spent three weeks now trying to get Lockjaw off my Crusader.

notwithoutmyanus posted:You have to click on the skill you want removed. It defaults to the top of the list, and is not random. You put guy in, you select skill you want removed, buy. So if you have 4 traits in the list that are negative and Lockjaw isn't the top one listed it's going to default to the top of the list one first. Of course, I know that you have to actually select the skill you want to remove, but sometimes it just removes the top skill no matter if you chose another one or not.

You know, I'm having a lot of fun with this game at the moment, but I'm a bit worried about the longevity of it. Every dungeon is very similar to any other, all the loot you find is fairly generic, and since you can just pick and choose abilities for all your guys, every game is going to end up being relatively same-y. I'm not really seeing any attachment to any of my characters either, since they are all basically the same. We'll see how it ends up being when the game is fully finished and released, but as it stands, I'm not really seeing a reason to play the game over again once you've finished it once.

Apple2o posted:drat I just got my A-team wrecked by the swine prince. I thought he would stop enraged smashing everyone if I just finished off the little one really quick. He delivered 3 deathblows in one turn. Well, if it helps, once you realize you should just let the little poo poo live until you've finished off the big guy himself, he's probably the easiest of them all. ZeusJupitar posted:Question for those who've got that far - are the bosses distinct or are they palette swaps/buffed versions of each other? I was a bit dubious when I saw 'Apprentice Necromancer - Necromancer - Master Necromancer'. I've done the tier 1 and tier 2 versions of the three bosses in the game at the moment, and I didn't notice any difference other than them having more HP and doing more damage. I'm not even sure if they had any new abilities. Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Feb 5, 2015 |

Haha, my highwayman went stoic(or something similar) at 100 stress instead of going insane, and spent the rest of the dungeon telling everyone in my party what a great bunch of folks they were, and that if the group made it out alive he'd split his earnings with them. He also got a pretty insane buff from it.

 If this thing stacks with itself you'll have someone with 97% deathblow resistance sitting around hitting for +30% damage and +10% crit. 107% if you give it to someone with unyielding. Seems pretty insane.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:I honestly don't,t think the game is that random. Nine times out of ten people complaining about random are making basic tactical errors like letting their torch drop etc. The tenth time they got surprised and critter and deathblow bled on the first round, but that's rare. This game IS random as hell. The entire gameplay is based around "Making the best of a bad situation" aka setting things straight when the RNG fucks you up big time. I'd honestly say the randomness is a bigger factor than it is in FTL, at least in the beginning. When you get going to level 3-4 (Can't speak for level 5 dungeons) it's easier to strategise, although you'll still get the "All enemies crit on AoE's during the first round, and now two party members are bleeding at death's door" every now and then.

Funnypost Collabo posted:I'm not a big fan of any part of the item/equipment system, either. Armor and Weapons are just generic +1s that you buy in town which diminishes the characters' ability to be unique and separate from one another. The positive effects are usually slightly better than the drawbacks, so if you find a relic with, say, +20 dodge, -10% damage, and another one with +12% damage, -5 dodge, you can get an overall positive out of it. A lot of them are not worth the hassle though. Also yeah, I feel like the generic equipment system really drags the game down a bit.

Funnypost Collabo posted:Just give me more ways that my characters can get hosed up and die. I was expecting to climb over a mountain of bodies and broken souls to get where I'm at, not have 8 dead level 0 adventurers in my graveyard. I'm doing level 3 dungeons at the moment, and my adventurers barely ever get knocked down to Death's door, and I haven't had anyone reach 100 stress in like 20 dungeons. The only character I've lost was to the first hag, and I haven' even gotten close to losing anyone else. The balance is definitely in a weird place right now, but fortunately that's something that can change until release.

There doesn't seem to be any point in levelling your heroes to level 5 or 6. You can buy the best equipment and skills at level 4, and when you're level 4 you can do level 5 dungeons without characters complaining(taking more stress damage).

Notorious QIG posted:Low light gives a penalty to hit chance but a bonus to crit chance, so it's kind of a wash. Honestly, the increased crit chance more than makes up for the penalty to hit chance since crits are ridiculously powerful in this game. The only real downside to running low light is the increased chance to be surprised.

Notorious QIG posted:I believe your stress resist drops pretty hard in low light too. I don't have a lot of low light experience but every time I've taken in a four-newbie team without torches they survive just fine but all come back afflicted. It's still not really an issue, I barely ever hit max stress even when doing Level 5 no light runs. Edit: Remember, crits lower your stress as well.

poptart_fairy posted:Does the torch burn down in real time, and if so is there a keyboard shortcut to top it off? It's such a small thing but stopping to open my inventory and double click a torch really stands out as clunky compared to the rest of the UI. Nope, it goes down for every "square" you move in the dungeon. That means there's 5 squares between every room(4 if you enter the door at the end of a passageway before it ticks down) where you lose torch light. It also seems that it ticks down 5 or more when walking through unexplored areas, while it only ticks down 1 when you backtrack through explored areas.

I just dislike that there's absolutely no personality to any of the characters. If they had some hidden parameters that determined what kind of dialogue they had, or if their chatter at least changed a bit based on their traits, I might actually give a poo poo about any of them. As it stands, one Highwayman is basically the exact same as any other.

I'm looking forward to see how this game develops. At the moment this game is rather shallow, something you'll most likely notice when you hit the level 3 dungeons. There's still half a year for them to add things onto it before the final release, though.

Coolguye posted:Roll a few dungeons without any extra torches and see how toothless it feels, by the way. I disagree. I actually find the dungeons easier in pitch black when your team can take a crit or two. The extra crits you do makes sure your stress level is at manageable levels, and at higher levels, your team can wipe enemy squads in 1-2 rounds. The only risk is getting surprised more often, and getting so much loot you have to toss stuff out. Edit: I probably wouldn't do pitch black for bosses, though. But that's an unnecessary risk anyway.

Honestly I don't think the problem is with the difficulty of the dungeons (Although they could certainly be harder if they actually want people to lose heroes there), but rather that they are very dull and predictable. The level 3 dungeons are extremely similar to the level 5 dungeons, the only difference is a difference in stats for the monsters, and there is only like 6-7 different monsters in each dungeon. Everything else is the same. Events, loot, interactibles, there's nothing new on higher levels, they even have the same modifiers. It makes repeating the dungeons over and over very boring and grindy. Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Feb 15, 2015 |

On the other hand, if you manage to stun or disable Wilbur somehow, the Swine prince/etc doesn't know what to do, and will just wail on one of your two frontliners for 4-5 damage.
