The time finally comes, I download the game... and I find myself staring at the Red Hook studios logo, as the narration continues without the animation that's supposed to be there. I tried disinstalling it and reinstalling it again, but now there's not even that, I'm just staring at a black screen. I can click on what I assume is a menu if I interrupt it, but since I can't see jack poo poo, it doesn't really help. What am I missing here?

RightClickSaveAs posted:Did you try hitting a key on the keyboard? It sounds like you may have other problems if the animation isn't there, but there's at least once before the menu screen where it won't do anything until you hit a key, mouse clicks don't seem to register. I did, and I think it interrupted the cutscene, because the narration stopped and music started playing. But since the screen doesn't change I still can't play.

It seems like I spoke too soon: after the tutorial mission, the screen went black again. I moved the mouse at random and clicked, and I think I triggered something, because I heard that typewriter-like sound that is heard when something gets written in videogames. I closed the game and now I'm back to square one, with the cutscene narration but without the cutscene. paradoxGentleman fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Jan 31, 2015 |

I am sorry for bringing this up again, but I'd really like to start playing and joining the discussion. I keep opening the game only to be greeted by a black screen; I hear the narration of the initial cutscene and if I push buttons on my keyboard I can interrupt it, but since I can't see the game I can't play. I get the impression that the game is running in the background and I just can't see it. Putting it in window mode helped exactly once, and only up to my first visit in the hamlet, the graphics drivers on my card (which is a Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000, even though I have NVIDIA Control Panel installed for some reason) are up to date and I don't know where else to look.

The Cheshire Cat posted:Positional control is really helpful in the game too. Enemies don't have a basic "move" ability, so generally if you pull a ranged guy into the front ranks, he'll be stuck there using his much lower damage melee attack. Or even better, a few tough melee enemies don't even have a ranged attack at ALL (like the big skeletons with the shield), so if you bump them to the back ranks they just sit there passing their turn until you kill enough guys in front of them to bring them up again. This is correct. The Apprentice Necromancer did a number on me for this very reason: I should have brought some Occultists to pull him from his skeleton horde. A Leper, an Highwaymen and two vestals are not the proper party to tackle him, I'll tel you that much. I lost my Leper in that battle, which is a shame because Lepers are pretty awesome. They have lots of self buffs, and I get the impression that given a turn of two of preparation he could become just this side of unstoppable. I am worried that the number of low level mission grows smaller and smaller, and I fear that at one point of another I am going to have to send some greenhorns against menaces they cannot handle. paradoxGentleman fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Feb 1, 2015 |

First of all, I went to the Warren and it's pretty disturbing. Those poor Porcine Wretches, I almost feel sorry for them. In my latest Warren run I managed to get almost no stress. I had a Crusader, Tomb Robber, Jester and I think an Highwayman; I am still not sure how I did it.

I guess if you throw enough money at a game to get to design a class you might as well go bonkers with it. For some reason the name Collectror summons into my mind the image of a criminal mastermind.

I actually lost a Crusader to an heart attack. He was being abusive and I think we were fighting the Hag, and I watched his stress bar fill again and before dying he said something like "I SHOULD HAVE YOU ALL OF EXECUTED! I SHOULD-" and then he died. Frankly he was being so much of a dick to the poor Grave Robber that I did not feel all that bad.

I get what you're saying that he's clearly built more for a backrow role, but still, he has a perfectly serviceable stun attack that can hit anywhere and it seems such a waste to never use it.

I always use camping as an healing and stress relief opportunity first and for buffing second. Having an opportunity to fix up the party if things go bad is too big a boon to pass up.

MinibarMatchman posted:didn't realize the Cove is a special case, that's rough but I get it. The DD debuff is still really goddamn rough. All traps have different effect, but the one in the Cove is by far the nastiest, especially since the enemies there generally stronger. This is a balancing problem on their part, not a planned thing, right? It's not like the Cove gives particularly hefty rewards.

I am garbage at understanding numbers in this game, and this made me worry:Gabriel Pope posted:(3rd if you're not counting the Leper, which in practical terms you shouldn't.) See, I love the Leper, mostly from a flavor standpoint but also because I like slow characters that hit like trucks, which he sort of exemplifies in a turn-based game. If I play the game with an eye for tactics but don't bother too much with class "tiers" if such a term can be applied to the game, am I going to never make it? I haven't played in a while and this worries me. i just love all of these classes so much you guys not one of them is truly generic

The thing about the Darkest Dungeon is, whatever was in there scared the Ancestor into suicide. The Ancestor, just as a reminder, is the guy who invited scholars of eternal life into his house only to murder them in cold blood, performed dread rites to bind demons to pig flesh and then threw the discharge into an empty room somewhere to germinate into the Inchoate Flesh and its counterparts. I am expecting great things from this ones, is what I am saying.

To bring this back for a second: these religious folks have no problem running elbows with murderers for hire, profaner of tombs and a freakin' occultist, but stick them next to someone who most certainly did not ask to be turned into a goat demon and is trying his level best not to murder everyone and suddenly they turn their noses up. Tu quoque, Leper? You that should know more than anyone else what it means to be shunned?

This guy is such a control freak that he drops out of mission when someone gets afflicted, not because he doesn't want to get the whole team stressed out until it collapses upon itself, but because it "will lose control of them and by extension tactics". I get that it messes with your tactics but can't you seriously work around this? ...I do agree that the fact that Hellions have still such a great advantage over other melee classes is kind of bullshit. paradoxGentleman fucked around with this message at 12:25 on Jan 4, 2016 |

Now if If It Bleeds carried a debuff or had reduced damage (maybe even both) and the debuffs were serious enough to hinder her, it would be different. But as it is right now she's way OP.
