Also it's $20  For those of you who had the Kickstarter access, how worth it is it if I'm a big fan of roguelikes and XCOM?

Firstborn posted:The battle system is more like Legends of Grimrock or even a JRPG. It's turn-based, and positioning matters for what abilities you can use, but it's not a SRPG. Yeah I've been watching streams so I get at least the basics of the combat. Permadeath squad-based combat is such my poo poo though that I think it's gonna be tough to not buy this.

Cracked and bought it. This game is loving awesome. Unfortunately I lost both characters in the tutorial to a number of nasty crits and then the game decided that what I really needed was four plague doctors, but after a few dungeons my roster seems to be balancing out. Just got my first jester which I think will help keep my stress down.

victrix posted:Walk into final room in dungeon 75% healed, full light. Get surprised, eat double crits, Vestal bleeds, Death's Door, dead from bleed. My closest thing to a wipe so far was a first-round surprise crit with a bleed proc on my vestal, who didn't make it to round 2. Everybody else got to Death's Door before I managed to run, and all three ended up gaining afflictions. When Darkest Dungeon decides it's time to die, you will die.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Actually yeah sometimes the game just fucks you straight up. It's like X-Com in that respect. Like XCOM, Darkest Dungeon's randomness sometimes decides to gently caress you. Also like XCOM, the game gives you the tools you need to help prevent disaster and lets you bounce back when disaster does strike.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:New trollpinion: leper is the worst class. Leper pairs best with classes that have backwards mobility actions. That way if your Leper gets knocked back, you can easily send him to the front without having to spend any of his own actions.

Baronjutter posted:Stuns almost always fail in my experience so I'm hesitant to use them. And healing might heal 1-3 hp but every turn the enemy is doing like 8-20 damage to me so it's a losing battle. Right now I don't have anyone in my roster than can stun, I guess I need to throw them away. When you fail a dungeon you get absolutely no experience right? That seems like a slightly odd system, no way to improve your characters enough to get past anything. It's worth noting that for a beginning Vestal, the group heal is way better than the single target heal. The single target heal you'll be lucky to heal 5 damage off a single person, but the group heal you will fairly consistently heal 2 to each person, or 8 total damage. Those extra 3 points add up fast.

Tollymain posted:wait, occultist's bleed resist is what counts for his heal? No, he gets -16% to bleed procs with that trinket, so you'd be less likely to bleed your guys when you heal.

Zaphod42 posted:Actually, it wouldn't even be that hard to modify the game's art. Its all just sitting there in folders. Poking around in the files makes it look like it would probably be fairly easy to mod in custom classes, dungeons, and loot, although I'm not sure exactly where abilities are actually defined. Art modding is definitely very easy though, provided you have the tools and talent to do so. e: and yes this means I expect a Goonest Dungeon mod within six months of the actual release.

Haroshia posted:I was watching TotalBiscut do his first blind playthrough on stream, and due to RNG fuckery he lost his first two characters in the tutorial. This isn't hard to do, you only get two people with no heals so one lucky crit can easily drop you down into death's door.

ErIog posted:They get them whether you click the masks or not. I wish that stuff just auto-displayed since it feels like half the YouTubers I'm watching take a while to figure out you can even click on them. I like clicking the masks. It feels like identifying an item in Diablo only instead of asking "is this roll good or bad" you ask "is this a benefit or a sign of Terrible Madness".

enraged_camel posted:Also, I think fighting with anything less than a fully-lit torch makes it harder to hit enemies. Low light gives a penalty to hit chance but a bonus to crit chance, so it's kind of a wash.

Broken Cog posted: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. 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.

Fhqwhgads posted:So a level 0 no light suicide squad is actually a viable way to grind money/upgrade items? Or are your no-light runs done with specifically built characters? Yeah, suicide squads are completely viable. It doesn't cost anything to hire rookies or to fire them, so as long as at least one escapes alive it's pure profit.

Internet Kraken posted:That's nice but its still gonna annoy the crap out of me that it will fail to remove a status when you really need it to. At least the Plague Doc isn't stricly awful now. A level 0 Plague Doctor of mine had 100% status fix and 1 HP heal though  Even 1 HP makes the skill a lot better anyway since now you can pull someone from Death's Door.

Dang, that's quite the update to be free. Looking forward to it, I loved the combat of DD2 and only fell off the game because I don't think the roguelike structure really comes together.
