I keep wanting to play this, getting past the first expedition or two, then quitting when things go wrong instead of rolling with the punches. Why am I so terrible about video games.

Thanks for the advice, I'll give the game another try later. It's just getting past the OCD perfectionist in me who quails at the thought of losing even the most useless, fear-crippled idiot that's hard, is all. v v

What makes a good hero to keep then, and therefore keep safe and sane, as opposed to the ones I let die horribly/chuck away when they've gone barmy?

I want to play this game longer but I can't really get past the idea that most of your dudes are mooks not worth saving or keeping, for some drat fool reason  (ed: guess I had/have the same problem with XCom, now that I think about it. Haven't beaten that either. Just kinda sucks to lose a dude you've spent any amount of time developing, I guess)

Is it generally worth bailing as soon as I finish a quest or should I try to clear every dungeon I enter? Also, if I don't click the quirk thingies after my jerks come back alive, do they not receive any new quirks? Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Dec 28, 2015 |

-25% stress resist? Like, negative stress resistance? Is that really what it says in game? I mean I understand what you mean from context, but jeeze that's really unclear. Are other modifiers like that?

Since we're sort of talking about it here, is there a go-to guide I can read while I'm at work on what classes are good when? Top example being Jester--I have no real idea what they're used for besides shuffling the hell out of your own party order

Why do people specifically recommend the Cloister and Bar for upgrades, rather than the other two for each location? How high do you want people to get before you bother unlocking skills or upgrading skills and weapons on them? Does the game have a clock, like XCom's constantly-upgrading adversaries, or if you get right hosed can you always keep on trucking?

When I hover over a monster in combat there's an exclamation mark next to their moves. What does that mean, that they're currently usable?

My game is not being nice to me with respect to healers. I'm on week seven and have seen zero occultists and two vestals, one of which is currently missing after getting blind drunk and the other is at 90 stress and recuperating at the bar (guess my next dive's a suicide dive). I expect her to get lost, too, given my luck. Is which dungeon I go into mostly down to what town upgrade items I need in the beginning, or is there an increasing difficulty from dungeon to dungeon irrespective of the quest ranks? I've got the Bar and Cloister up to two slots, and the stage coach and barracks upgraded twice (4 each week, 15 max). What should I work on next? I've been unlocking skills I want at the Guild even on level 0 dorks, but when should I consider said dorks worthy of further upgrades/the blacksmith or survivalist?

Do damage buffs or maluses affect how much damage, say, a plague doctor's blights do over time?

Iron Chitlin posted:No, those only affect the initial damage of the attack, the DOT is entirely controlled by the skill level. Cool, so I can slap -DMG trinkets on e.g. plague doctors in more or less total safety. At least, when I remember to actually EQUIP trinkets; I always remember to unequip everyone after every sojourn but forget to re-equip alarmingly often Kind of want to stop playing until the game releases officially in a couple of weeks, though, lest I burn myself out on the game. Do we know yet if anything's going to be added/changed for the release?

I have yet to try an Abomination after my startling lack of success with any team that isn't Vestal / Plague Doctor / Highwayman or Hellion / Crusader (or Man at Arms, I used him instead for the Pig boss to guard Squeal targets, worked fantastically). Never even tried a Jester, Graverobber just plays like a somewhat worse Plague Doctor to me, and I just plain couldn't make Hound Master, Arbalest or Bounty Hunter work (or Leper if RNG is unkind) Still thinking about if I want to keep playing this now or wait for release, do we know if we'll be able to keep our saves or if we'll have/want to start over?

Sweet. While I'm in here, how much do you all prioritize SPD, especially when it comes to -SPD on trinkets? What about dodge? (That one at least is more obvious; -dodge on a Crusader or MaA is bad news bears, less so for others, but I don't really get SPD's value.)

Toxxupation posted:Grave Robbers aren't really anything like Plague Doctors, btw Abom sounds fancy, I believe I shall give one or two a go if I decide to play some more I only made the GR/PD quip because the only move I could reliably use when I had mine was the plague darts to stack blight on stuff with PROT, which worked, but ehn It's probably mostly my fault, I'm not a fan of taking skills that force you to move, never quite know when to use them (this is probably part of why I haven't tried Jester, too) (edit) I think I've got a handle on this one but I'll ask anyway: when do you use stuns, instead of trying to go for a kill sooner (e.g. a PD using stun gas instead of poo gas)?

Yeah I've loving loved plague doctors since I started playing again. Mine sit in rank 3, with both blight skills, the blight cure, and the damage buff for the front liners on long fights, and she is just a murderer a science murderer

Toxxupation posted:speaking of this game needs a way to set and name teams, for loving reals Yeah there's a few QoL things I'd love to see in the final game A way to not jump back and forth between the Embark screen and the rest of town would be nice, I do that a lot while I'm working out who to take next and what improvements I should make to them / who to commit, hire, fire, etc (the shortcuts on the left are a good start, add Embark to that and remove the fade-out/in and we're fuckin set) As you say, naming and saving teams would be baller Being able to hover over enemy moves in their list to see what they do (perhaps after you've seen them a couple times) would be nice Being able to more clearly see the targeting of friendly buffs/heals, i.e. which ones are aoe and which aren't (MaA buffs for example, I had no idea they were aoe) Probably more I can't think of at the moment--really just small things that add up, but them not being there doesn't detract hugely from how good this game is Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jan 4, 2016 |

I'm short on dosh, yeah, mainly from a bad habit of unlocking every skill on every new recruit I take off the stagecoach That and having a huge trinkets cabinet is making me OCD out so I figure might as well get rid of the crap

I'm still pretty unsure about e.g. when to stun with my plague doctor or plague bomb the back line, or YAWHP vs just cutting a dude down as a hellion, or Guarding/Riposting as a MaA vs just smashing a nerd, or--you get the idea, when to do buff/debuffy stuff vs just straight attacking. If anyone has any guidance on that front it'd be rad Also what sort of team can take an Abomination, I tried Jester / Occultist / Abom / Abom and it sort of worked?? I guess?? But it felt a bit edge-of-my-teeth the whole time, and I don't like having to have the Jester just so I have a stress healer. Maybe something like Arbalest / Occultist / Abom / MaA? Finally, 0 light runs: when to do them and how to play them differently?

I've still never done a Long mission. What's enough stuff to bring? I'm thinking 16 torches, 24 food, 4 shovels and 3 of everything else offhand, just based on how much I've needed for Medium missions.
