Demiurge4 posted:I'm watching Brotatoe (what the hell?) playing right now and his stress level has gone up progressively since he wiped a party on the hag. He had so much gold too but failed like 6 retreat attempts. Poor guy kept hitting the pot. To be fair I only beat the hag because my highwayman got a 36 crit on the first shot. I've switched to a low view stream, he's doing pretty well, he's beaten all but the final incarnations of the bosses. I just needed a quieter stream that didn't over-hype/super-welcome new subs for a while Can't wait to get this game though, holy poo poo

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah seriously. I love how small the health values are, so the game is constantly tense. A single critical hit from the enemy or a couple misses in the row by the party can mean a sudden huge shift in morale. Its extremely tense. And once they go insane and fail resolve, the run is pretty much cut short. Soooo much stress damage from the talking, not to mention the bad combat (debuff/passing/selfhurting etc). Can't wait to get my hands on it

Kinda sad the weapon/armor system works like that, and not randomized loot like in other roguelikes. But I guess balancing becomes a problem then

Lotish posted:What is the button for retreating a fight or leaving the dungeon? Because the first time I hosed up badly enough for the tutorial to try and tell me, I was too stressed to read it and just closed the screen to focus on the fight. I lost everyone. There is a flag symbol on your minimap to retreat during combat (has to be your turn, have to have control) Edit: can't retreat during tutorial, and to abandon quest when out of combat is top left

Normal Adult Human posted:What party composition has low damage and low cc? Just like, 4 vestals? jester in the back, just singing/buffing. vestal for healing. plague doctor for backup healing, curing bleeding/blight and shuffling positions. then take a pure buff melee like leper/crusader with just self buffs/heals/knockbacks. You doing a challenge run?

Apparently shift+click on a hero in roster removes him without a confirmation? Jan beat all the bosses in EA, so now all that's left is grinding all classes to 6

So apparently after lv3/4 you have over 100% natural Death Blow resistance. Tested this with Jan in the stream and his Vestal with 107% resistance stayed at death's door forever. Dev tweeted that it could be a bug and they are looking into it. Is anyone else actively playing this and has reached over 100% resistance? You gain +10% per level I think and you start at 67% iirc I don't own the game, so I can't test it myself

Megasabin posted:How feature complete/how much replayability does this game have in its current state? Just reading the stories its incredibly tempting to pick it up on Tuesday, but I usually exhaust a game in 1 period of playing it, and rarely ever go back, so I may want to hold off until there is more content. 2 dungeons are still locked, 4 classes are not yet in EA (Houndmaster, Man-at-Arms, Merchant, Arbalest) with more being teased at. Those 4 will make it into EA at some point or another. EA is supposed to run for 6 months. That's just from what I could tell from their twitter replies

Zaphod42 posted:I don't think so. They need to add a little more information IMO, like you don't know (as far as I know) when hunger is suddenly going to kick in and require food. It'd be nice to have a building bar. Hunger is supposed to be a random event, not some hidden bar that decreases. Although it's set to not go off for some time after entering a dungeon or camping. The Initiative UI is something I can't understand not being ingame. It's really just a quality of life thing. Especially if you're bad at remembering who already went, who was stunned this turn or is going to recover from it the next turn instead, etc

maniacripper posted:So there's no way to play this until the 3rd right? No vpn hacks, or ordering directly from a place because 30 minutes ago I never knew this game existed and now I really wanna play. It's only available for backers and content creators atm. Early Access for everyone else isn't that far off though. I really wish I backed this game  I always decide not to back games. Hindsight...

Evil Mastermind posted:Can people give me some advice on how to mitigate stress damage? I've got people going bugfuck insane all the time, and I can't figure out how to mitigate the damage. -stress damage traits/buffs/equipment, crits, kill them before they kill you (ikr...), if unable try stunning instead, get good at DOD It gets easier once you get higher ranks from what I can tell. I should really stop watching streams of this, I'm going to spoil the game for me odiv posted:You could hang out in streams where they're doing key giveaways! Been watching streams all day, but I prefer to do the quiet/actual gameplay ones and not the super hype ones that advertise key giveaways in title

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Before I go and lose a party facing the swine prince, what tactics do you need for him? I don't want major spoilers, just don't want to repeat the situation with the hag where I went into it blind with a party full of short range melee damage. If you have stun resist, use it. Swine Royalty love their butler Wilburt.

The Cheshire Cat posted:One thing I haven't seen people mention: Buffs/Debuffs will stack with themselves. So if you use something that grants +20% protection twice, you'll have 40% protection rather than just refreshing the duration (I'm not sure if each stack is on a separate timer or if it gets globally refreshed with each application though). This property is one thing that makes the Jester's buffs/debuffs really effective, because they apply to everyone at once. If it's anything like bleeding they are all on their own timer, as you can see bleed damage per turn go up if you stack it and then down once you stop

Random rear end in a top hat posted:Hey, whoever said to burn books? Thanks, I just got an event from that which gave my Leper 100 loving stress. Immediately after camping, where I used half of my actions to get his stress down to 0. But why else would the option be there! There must be something good involved. Think Giant Alien Spiders in FTL! What could possibly go wrong?

MotU posted:I'm about 9 weeks into my new game and have not had anyone hit 100 Stress yet. They are either getting extremely unlucky, playing for the first time, or just plain bad. My guess is they don't invest enough into stress relief because they keep pushing their "main party" to the limits. The game gives you enough lv1 missions for a reason

Razakai posted:I usually never buy early access, but this is tempting. How buggy/unpolished does the game feel currently? It looks great but I'm expecting there to be some major fuckups considering it's early access. I've been watching streams playing it for days now. Seems pretty polished with just a few bugs. They are still tweaking gameplay things based on feedback. They still have 2 dungeons locked (1 of them being the namesake, i.e. the Darkest Dungeon), and 4 missing classes that will gradually be introduced during the 6 month Early Access time. They also mentioned a NG+ mechanic, that is also not implemented yet. If it will make it during EA or not idk This is 100% an EA purchase for me, and I'm usually cautious

RightClickSaveAs posted:I don't know if this is true, but it seems like the Crusader class has a better chance of not cracking under stress. I've been really managing my stress so far so I haven't hit the limit too often, but twice now when I've gotten a Crusader to that point, he's rallied up and gotten a great buff out of it. I wonder if that will be his class passive, would make sense in a way

Excelsiortothemax posted:Torches on scrolls written in an insane language gives you a buff. Bandages on boards with knives in them will protect you. Putting holy water on holy shrines will heal your stress for ~30 instead of giving positive traits or whatever they usually do Houndmaster and Arbalest are not released yet, but are the most finished of the 4 that are coming during EA I'm taking a bit of a break now. My run went smoothly without a hitch up to my first boss who just fell over basically. After that I'm not sure if I'm just being bad or what, but I just can't get a 2nd group going to cover any lv3 quests that are happening. I keep losing people

Even if they want to keep initiative secret, sometimes I just want to know which enemy already went, especially if it's like 4 dogs that charge and shuffle around, so I know who to focus on if I want to prevent more rabies chances
