Yah, the bandit gunners and skeleton archers have single target weak attacks that only hit front ranks if theyre up front. The cultist fighters also have a much weaker attack if theyre in the back ranks, but it also moves them up at the same time.

camping immediately seems like a waste to me. why not go an encounter or two first THEN camp and regain all the stress/hp/light you lost in the first few fights you may have lost it in?

Chair In A Basket posted:The argument would be that the buffs you receive from camping will help prevent or at reduce the damage/stress that you would accrue otherwise. Seems to matter way more on red difficulty dungeons than easy or mediums. but you can go one or two fights THEN camp and fully recover all the stress and hitpoints you may have lost in those fights with a feast camp AND buff yourself. I think camping right away in the first room is a waste, especially if you get ambushed.

MinibarMatchman posted:goddamn that Death's Door debuff is loving awful. I haven't played in a while so imagine how pissed I was when I realized traps now debuff you severely for like 20 loving turns. I tried to do just a simple level 1 venture into the Cove and all these things hosed me right off the bat. the threshold for how frustrating and annoying poo poo is in this game has really increased since its inception, it's disappointing. Cove traps debuffed you for 20 turns before this patch. Some one earlier said medicinal herbs will cure all debuffs now though, so bring more I guess? I haven't played the new patch yet so I don't know for sure.

Mzbundifund posted:I'm a little frustrated that the game seems to be getting harder and harder, like the devs are balancing their patches around the players who have been playing non-stop since the release of the beta. Everything's getting more expensive and punishing and while I know there's no actual lose condition for the hamlet, losing high-level heroes just means now you gotta spend many many missions grinding more guys up to fill their space. I got the game in October and thought it was too easy and I wasn't even playing optimally like camping ASAP or only using the best party comps or whatever. Basically as soon as I learned that you can use items on the curios, every run at any level was a cake walk 90% of the time and when it wasn't it involved a Shambler or some bad luck in the cove. I play a lot of roguelikes and similar games though so RNG mitigation was something I came in knowing about.

Well if you've done all the dungeons and bosses then you've beat the game for now. And using a suicide squad is the same gameplay as running a dungeon with a level 5 or 6 crew. Like, I really don't see much difference between what people are claiming is grinding in Darkest Dungeon and what is just playing the game. It's like calling an FTL run that results in death a grind.

they should make it so before you even get into the dungeon you get a camping screen outside the entrance then get rid of the ability to remove the "until camp" debuffs with herbs.

Gabriel Pope posted:Are there any "until camp" debuffs other than the madman's stress debuff? I don't know actually, I haven't played the new update yet but there used to be one that reduced damage or accuracy or something until camp and some one earlier mentioned more "until camp" debuffs. GloomMouse posted:I already do this same, it always seemed like a waste to do it right away since it comes with a significant hp/stress heal so I'd do at least one fight / hallway before a camp but apparently some people have problems getting through that without a 20% damage/stress resist buff or whatever and take more damage/stress than the camp heals.

Gabriel Pope posted:I used to do a few fights to get that free healing... I could see a few fights not being worth it but I've never had a problem with one fight/hall before a camp. Good point about using less food though I never thought about that, I'm usually pretty much done a dungeon before I run out but that's definitely a big hit if you do have a couple more rooms to clear.

paradoxGentleman posted:I am garbage at understanding numbers in this game, and this made me worry: i've done pretty much everything you can in game using all kinds of different party compositions and have never had a big problem. The most trouble I've had is trying to use anything other than Vestel or Occultist as a healer but I still managed. The only time you might need to worry about an "optimal" party is the Level 3 bosses.

MinibarMatchman posted:I think the only thing that really needs tweaking is the starvation/hunger mechanic. Once happened after 2 tough encounters in the first 3 rooms, so I ate like 5 things of food. Directly after that I get the goddamn Starvation prompt which wastes half my remaining stock. Possibly even worse was late into a particular run, I healed my ailing team with as much food as they could literally eat. Again, almost ten steps after that, I get the loving Starvation window which fucks me over because I didn't have enough food. It doesn't happen THAT often but sometimes the logic of how and when it occurs is extremely retarded. Yes, i hate that too. Eating food should either delay the starvation event or they should remove non-starvation/camping healing from food all together and switch it over to herbs and bandages.

lol if you want to take over leveled characters into low level dungeons. just cheat in some free xp or something if you want to play Extra Easy mode instead of modding in a pointless and mind numbing grind. the entire idea of wanting to run through dungeons with no challenge at all boggles my mind, why are you even playing this game at that point?

Level 0 no torch runs aren't that bad if you have some good trinkets. End up firing most of them when they get back to the hamlet but they all usually make it back alive and every now and then you get a guy or two who makes it back only half insane who you can upgrade and send out again.

I just did the first Darkest Dungeon mission and got the 3 Talisman of The Flame trinkets. From the description their use seems really specific, is there one mission I want to make sure I bring them on or should I bring them on all future Darkest Dungeon missions? Can I get more if I wipe and lose them?

Cool, thanks for the info. It is kind of dumb, when I saw them it was super obvious I would need them but I wasn't sure if they were something I should save until the end and I didn't want to risk losing them before knowing when they would be needed.
