ZypherIM posted:They've got the starter dungeons tweaked pretty nicely, and once your guys are level 2 you're pretty OP compared to what you're fighting. poo poo changes pretty quickly around after you hit the higher level dungeons, so don't worry about things being easy forever. At least the Crusader can still heal / stress heal others, even if he can't hit ranks 3 and 4. Leper is just kinda meh.

ZypherIM posted:Houndmaster is a great hero that I like, but he is pretty complicated and doesn't slot into a party easily if you don't know whats up. Marks, guarding, self heal, stress heal, stun, attacks, and a bunch of that being mutually exclusive slotwise or only situationally useful. There are options that are much more straight forward that would be better for people to take while still learning how to approach the game. Counterpoint: he is great for a new player because of those reasons. He can basically do everything except heal others. He can attack from any range, stun if hes in melee,has a self heal, party stress heal or put dots on the whole enemy line to pick off enemies that are weak. Houndmaster is great.

ZypherIM posted:When the player has honestly no grasp on what to use when then yes, it is a bad class for a new player. Even worse if they think they know what they're doing and they really don't yet. It is the plethora of options that are all good abilities that make him not a great character for a new person, versus someone like a crusader (whom I'm not a huge fan of which you can see from my other posts about him) or a hellion. You don't look at a hellion and try to figure out when you should have him in rank 3 for stress heal+attacks or rank 2 for stun+attacks, and you don't need to find a buddy that fits into the party that doesn't mind swapping. You don't have to worry about marking and when you should or shouldn't. You just apply the damage to the spot that is giving you trouble and move to the next turn. Too many good abilities with almost no way to go wrong(unless you shove him in rank 1 without a melee ability and are too stupid to figure out what's wrong, but then Darkest Dungeon might be beyond your grasp anyways). Truly the worst beginner class. I don't know how dumb you think people starting out are, but if they are confused by how the houndmaster works they should probably just get a refund. Houndmaster works in every rank. Put him in any rank and hit button. As you said, he can apply damage to the spot that is giving you trouble. He just works. Oh he's hurt? Use his self heal.

Ciaphas posted:Are Bounty Hunters or Arbalests even worth taking off the cart if I don't feel the need to mark/aren't facing a boss? Bounty Hunters do a lot of damage, especially once you get one of their unique trinkets that boost their melee damage by 25%. They can also disrupt / shuffle enemy ranks. They don't really need marks to be effective and they do really well against human type enemies. Arbalests are ok. Poor for general dungeon clears, great for bosses. They are slow as balls unless you blow two turns blind firing, but good luck hitting what you want.

Lyrax posted:I'm trying to think of a boss fight you might actually want to bring a Leper to. Maybe the Swine Prince since it's always front ranks and Flesh which can be easily Hew'd? I guess the Hag if you really wanna focus on getting people out of the pot. I thought the Siren because her ranks don't fill out too much but then I remembered when you get someone back they get dumped to rank 4 and at that point your leper may as well be perma-charmed for what good he does. He's also ok for the necromancer, to cleave down the adds + boss. But the crusader can also do this so... Maybe the brigand cannon boss? Idk.

TastyLemonDrops posted:Been using Jester, and he's not bad at all? He basically ensures that my team comes back with no stress. Granted, I just have Solo/Finale and the two buffs. There's nothing wrong with a character that is just straight up used for utility, especially one that mitigates stress completely. Or you could use a houndmaster / crusader who can also do the stress heal job but who are also not poo poo at everything else.

Night10194 posted:I've just picked this back up now that it's out and jesus gently caress can everything go wrong fast on a run. Everything was going just fine until my bounty hunter ate two crits in a row and I missed 3 attacks against those goddamn spiders, then made the mistake of thinking 'I'm almost to the last room, I can use my food to heal', which immediately led to hunger. fire them all unless they have good quirks TastyLemonDrops posted:But I'm using the Houndmaster and Crusader to kill people??? How am I supposed to heal stress if I'm hitting dudes in the face instead.

centaurtainment posted:Why do people on here hate the Jester so much? Battle Ballad is the best buff in the game (not even taking into account the fact that it stacks) and Inspiring Tune is the only worthwhile Fear heal. I got through every mid-level dungeon and boss pre-release with a Jester in my fourth rank Battle Ballad-ing and spot healing for Stress. After the Ballad stacks it's pretty much assured that all four of your adventurers will go first every round, which allows for teams with unusually slow characters who have massive buffs to damage from trinkets. You could spend a few turns buffing, then more turns stress healing. Or use an actual good character and kill things faster and in fewer turns.

Panfilo posted:Am I the only one that feels like Emboldening Vapors is pretty 'blah'? I can't think of another single target buff and for good reason; to be worth it the benefit of the buff needs to exceed the turn not spent blighting or stunning enemies. Here's how I would change it: I would bake it into battlefield medicine and lower / remove the heal. Increase the potency if you are curing blight or something.

Kawabata posted:I feel the stress damage needs to be toned down some, at least in certain cases. I'm grinding low level content for trinkets and my hero lvl 3 crusader's resolve is immediately tested because he saw a crit on a party member and a dumb mob yelled in his face a couple of times. You don't need to send them to get stress relief after every single run. Just let them chill in town while your B - D team goes out. I do agree that running out of shovels is silly because they get so stressed out from destroying the barrier.

Had a medium dungeon run with Reynaud and Dismas plus a PD and Vestal. Things were going great. I got slugger, low stress, wrecking everything. Then the loving collector shows up. He didn't kill any of my dudes and I got him, so I decided to go on. Last room fight everyone got overstressed and Dismas got killed. loving bullshit. I keep restarting when I get pissed at the game. Probably dumb, but I don't wanna lose Reynaud or Dismas. I am just abysmally bad at this game. source your steam review quotes please

Red Hook needs to patch in this message so it stays on the start up screen for like 10 seconds so maybe idiots will accidentally read it and understand:  I mean there are legit grips and annoyances with the game like it eating your items when you try random poo poo on curios, the UI could be better, etc. But most of the complaints here are hilarious

Megasabin posted:Maybe I just had a really luck early game, but I didn't have to do a single suicide run or grind at all. That seems like a good way to get a new player to get bored real fast, so I'm not sure what's wrong with the advice. I was mostly being a dick  But you should lock good positive traits early, as it gets more expensive to do later on. I'd still prioritize the stagecoach upgrades, roster size and getting more dudes per week, over things like the cheaper upgrade costs from the blacksmith and the guild. I would only upgrade the blacksmith and guild when I had 2+ people that could use upgrades for the next tier. Beyond that, stagecoach was priority #1. Tossing new people into the grinder is a good strat if you are really broke(somehow) and need cash. Or just toss them out and get a new level 0 if they have a shitload of stress so you don't waste money on stress relief or getting rid of all their annoying quirks. Totally disagree on the Leper though. I can't think of a single fight where I would take him over someone else. I have never said "man I wish I had the Leper for this bossfight / encounter"
