/dadg/ - Darkest Dungeon General

>Char.Crimson
You guys have to watch Chris's twitter more, that's where all the real teasers are.

What the hell DOES that last file say? It looks like "Char.Crimson.Croc.psd"

What if there's a new swamp area? Would make since with the mosquito emblem on the teaser art.

Because i'm a casual, i wanted to install the level restrict removal thing, but it seems it's outdated.

How do i do that manually? I tried editing quest.restrict.json and roster.variables.json to be similiar to the modded restriction file, but my level 6 heroes refuse to enter lower level dungeons than champion

For future reference you should play on Radiant mode. The level restrictions on that are so lax they're basically non-existent. If you want it in your current game then I believe the soft-launched DD workshop has a mod for that.

Would also explain the filename and the seemingly barren and murky area featured in the Fanatic's reveal art.

i have the gog version, does the key work for steam?

He does like to tease the most out of the staff.

bought the game on steam, how do i enter the workshop? i joined the group, but do i have to be invited in to the workshop beta or something?

please don't make it die again

it was so lonely without you guys

We can always move to /indie/ and start /dadg/ back up when Crimson Court comes out.

>wants to mod the game
>to poor to own it on steam own it in steam

I finished all the roster goals (raise every type of hero to level 6) and it gave me the Caretaker goals achievement even though I still have a bunch of quest goals unfinished. Is it supposed to be like this?

anyone?

I've seen a couple other people report the same thing, so I guess so.

Post yfw now ever enemy that leaves behind a corpse also has a deaths door state

>he listens to the OST
What are you user, gay!?
Post your best dungeon-delving songs and albums.

What happens if you stun it?

Not that user, but I'm assuming they're referring to its timer. The Shrieker normally leaves after 4 whole rounds of combat, but if you stun it then the timer shifts and it stays longer, which you don't want if you're just going after the nest because he'll just keep waling on your guys.

People say that if you stun the shrieker, it won't run away and you'll have to beat it normally (it still counts as a victory if it flees) but I don't know if that's actually true or not.

Interesting, thanks.

>ACC instead of DMG and Crits
???

I mean I guess she's shit if you hate nonstop critting and dodging and outspeeding everything, but you're still doing apprentice so I'm not surprised

>crit with GR
>it still deals singledigit dmg
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh, and you can't read it seems

>single digit dmg
uh, I'll actually need a screenshot for that because I've never had that happen even in apprentice

It was a joke my man, I didn't expect you to actually give a fuck, are you autistic? Serious question, are you on the spectrum?

jesus christ, please go back to /v/ and stop shitting up the thread

>the shriekers Shrieking Flight kills one of your heroes

>call autist autist
>autist calls you /v/

It's always worth doing Shrieker missions. Your job is simple: 1. Break the nest for the free loot 2. Survive 4 rounds.

It's free money, shrieker trinkets, grace/eye quirks and a chance to recover lost trinkets; done in under 3 minutes. So long as you have teams that can hit hard and survive, it's basically a DD version of Pass Go.

Please go and stay go.

Ok, sorry if I've offended or angered any of you in any way.

There can be no hope in this hell, no hope at all.

Hello famulan, is this monster enough of an asshole for you guys? This is the variant for dungeons lvl 3-4.

display: .size 1

enemy_type: .id "beast"

stats: .hp 17 .def (dodge) 23.75% .prot 0 .spd 9 .stun_resist 30% .poison_resist 80% .bleed_resist 40% .debuff_resist 30% .move_resist 30%

skill: .id "bloodlust" .type "melee" .atk 88.75% .dmg 2-4 .crit 21% .effect "Rapture 3" "Life Drain 2" .launch 4321 .target 1234 .move 0 3

Rapture is a 110% Bleed of 5 duration1 and Life Drain 2 is a heal of 7 if the target is bleeding (previous to the attack OR if rapture succeeds).

Should I lock in beast hater?

Have you tried there ?

Looks great, it gives a new element of an enemy party designed specifically for harassment which makes them a new kind of persistent combo when you encounter them. If you're adding variants, make sure they come with a good gimmick compared to their original.

Don't add Rabies through, it would make them redundant and annoying since they would just be a stronger hound.

i might make more if i have any more awful ideas and can get my hands on some of the memeier and longer templates

This. Also be careful with the healing they get on damage. It's a nice change of pace and I think there could stand to be more enemies with abilities like that, but it's a tricky balance.

Depends. If you're planning on using him more in the Weald/Warrens/DD then yes. If you use him all over the place then eh.

I would, especially if you plan on sending him to DD2 or DD3.

Dont worry, they can't give you rabies, the faith healer you see in the back on the other hand is adept at applyng minor annoying quirks like dacnomania, deviant tastes, necromania, dark temptation etc.

yhea, as it stands right now they are a "one shot or don't even bother" type of enemy.

>indiegame.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=darkest_dungeon

Thanks, mate, but mfw there's more caretaker smut than Nomad merchant smut tho...

I might as well lock it in. I'm fucking done stalling this since I'm about to kill my last boss before DD. 126 weeks in and I'm just collecting stronger heroes. I have almost everything I need and 500k sitting at the bank with nothing but quirk purchases to eat it up. I'm so burnt out on this game. By the time I complete this run, I won't have motivation to start anew before CC hits.

Not sure why kek'd

Nigga there's Nier Automata right now followed by Dark Souls 3 DLC next week.

This is basically the lull before the DLC is out.

>Nier Automata
Tempted to buy it and know nothing of it. Is it good as advertised and what am I in for? I can't wait for the DS3 long awaited patch on Friday since it could potentially change everything.

Shouldn't it be beast/eldritch since they've got those eyes n' shit on them?

>the faith healer you see in the back on the other hand is adept at applyng minor annoying quirks like dacnomania, deviant tastes, necromania, dark temptation etc.

You're a piece of shit and I hate you forever.

That might actually be nice if you're trying to cycle through negative quirks for something.

>DS3 long awaited patch
Nani the fuck are you on about, friend? Some major tweaks to gameplay, not just preparation for the DLC? Tell me more.

steamcommunity.com/games/374320/announcements/detail/261612552478282575

It's the 'fix everything' the patch. It's as significant as the Poise patch we got a few months ago which drastically change how some things work and the meta was largely adjusted.

This gen is dead af if we're talking about another game entirely. I will start making new threads when CC hits.

Seconded on the beast/eldritch change. It always bugged me in the base game that the Tentacle Devourers weren't considered that as well.

Probably better to do that then.

How do I know when I'm ready for the Darkest Dungeon?

I have a lot of level 6 heroes but my trinkets don't feel like they're that great compared to what I see others have. I don't wanna rush in and just get crushed.

If you're not on Stygian, it's better to prepare exhaustively. This means collecting trinkets you're 100% confident in, and even grooming heroes with advantageous / optimal quirks.

I'm on default. I guess I'll finish some champion level bosses and collect their trophies and lock in some positive quirks before I go up for it.

Don't forget the homoerotic fanfictions. Bourassa is the main artist of the game in case you didn't know.

K, it has been done.

Now I'm working on a very low hp high protect hight dodge% ghost unit whose attack is a 0 dmg 5 stress that stacks dodge chance and sets up a riposte that triggers only if you miss while attacking him.

Sounds interesting. How will you convey that their riposte only procs on a miss though?

Well the ghost could just have 1hp, can't riposte if it's dead.

convey? you just code it.

>.on_hit false
>.on_miss true

that would be the way to do it if the engine didn't had you covered.

????

Obviously you just code it, but that doesn't mean it's clear people using your mod. It works differently than typical Riposte and should be conveyed as such, because that information will directly affect how your players approach the situation.

yhea, but hitting a 3hp dude for 1 tree times is a much more quantifiable kind of success rather than having a 1hp dude with 80% dodge that makes your encounter feel like a rng fiesta.

In any case, the name of the skill can be enough to imply the dealio.

I'm not sure you understand what I'm saying. Riposte typically works whether the person with the effect gets hit or not. A riposte that only activates when it misses is a different effect, and needs to be conveyed to the player as such or else they will only understand through trial. Trail learning is good for certain things, but I don't think it's good for establishing a nearly mechanically similar effect with a slight difference.
I do agree though that a higher prot encounter with low HP is a better measure than something with insanely high dodge. It's part of the reason why people might find the Horrid Shrieker more difficult to damage than the Swine God, despite the latter's comparatively massive lastability.

yhea I understood my friendo, like I said, the name of the skills displayed when the enemy sets the riposte is more that enough.

as an on the nose example you you just call it "every time you miss..." and no matter how much of a troglodyte the guy behind the keyboard is he's bound to find out.

>decide to try out a 2nd rank vestal and make use of her +unholy attack from that row
>first fight
>never even seen a doot skelly before

t-thanks

Five minutes into dungeon diving and chill and this guy gives your Vestal the finger. What do?

What's the ideal party composition for DD3? Occultists or Abominations sound like a terrible idea, given the stupidly long nature of the whole thing; so what should I pick instead?

Stuff that can stun and damage the backrow quickly.

doggo man and arby are always good, fill the rest with 0 lepers and you have a winning team.

Why would you run a position 2 vestal without profane scroll?

Plague Doctor and Hellion fuck white cell stalks up.

I don't know what it is and don't have it

+15% DMG
+30% Debuff Skill Chance
+10% PROT if in position 2
+33% Healing Skills if in position 2
+15% Stress

It makes position 2 Vestal good.

Brawlers don't have /the/ finger, though.

Do this next time. It makes a significant difference.

You know, i think that darkest dungeon monsters could make interesting minibosses for level 5 dungeons. Could even make a new mission out of it, hunting down two or three ascended cultists in a medium sized dungeon.

I think you would have to introduce those missions only after the first DD has been attempted / completed, otherwise the experience might be spoiled.

RELEASE THE RADIANT UPDATE FOR CONSOLE ALREADY, YOU FUCKS.

It would be nice if the darkest dungeon generated normal level 6 quests after you beat the game.

Probably on their log of things to do right before CC releases. I'd bet start of next month.
