Vintner fix fucking when?

reposting

is the count the final boss of the Court?

I got him immediately after I finished the first mission there. Is that event "the veil lifted" the end of the vampire plague or the next phase of it?

also,

segregate your vampires and nonvampires, right?

Why can't I access the courtyard at all?

I've done so many quests and still nothing

WHY DO MANY COURTYARD ASSETS SHOW UP AS WHITE BOXES? WHY DOES IT HAPPEN TO OTHER ASSETS EVENTUALLY?
WHY ARE THERE NO MISSIONS IN THE WEALD?
WHY IS THERE NO THE BLOOD ANYWHERE?

He's the first boss.

>finally get houndmasters
>both have fear of beasts
Come on now.

What's the point of Flagellant's camping skill that gives him stress? Is there some mechanic that isn't explained?

neat

he's champion level though....

Anyone know if they hotfixed the blood bank yet?

So,

how DO you cure the crimson curse?

We wouldn't want you guys just blazing through all of our content in one hour and feel ripped off for buying the DLC. Enjoy the grind and pray to RNGesus, adventurers :)

His Rapturous affliction give him bonuses instead of negatives.

I
NEED
THE
BLOOD

>tfw I cannot play right now because my A Team is all wasting away and will die if I send another group out for the week

If you stack virtue you get a positive Rapturous effect

HOW DO I BEAT THE COUNTESS

Can you start Court with a campaign that is already started or you have to create one new?

>not sure if I should get the crimson court right now or if I should wait till the steam summer sale to get it for a lower price (probably)
What do, anons.

So what do you guys think about the reworked skills? What is your opinion of the Caltrops from the Bounty Hunter? Have you tried using the updated versions of Tracking Shot or Bulwark of Faith?

>wilbur killed one of my guys
>theres an achievement for it

>bonuses instead of negatives
Yeah, I sure love when one of my heroes attacks the rest. With heroes like these you don't even need enemies!

something released less than a month before isnt going to be on sale.

It's randomized whether you access it or not

So is Sanguine Vintners really bugged and doesn't produce any blood?

I figured I'd rather build it before going to the Court so I can easily sustain cursed heroes.

You can access it from a campaign in progress, but you only get the blueprints you need to build the new hamlet structures from bosses or much more rarely from town events, so if you start the DLC with a campaign that's already assaulting the DD then you won't get as much out of it.

Ah, good to know, thank you

you can continue a current one, the next random event will give you the first court mission

It is currently bugged, but the developers said they will fix it for the next hot fix patch.

Caltrops is really good, Tracking Shot is useful for boss fights, Bulwark still not worth bringing.

Can cursed heroes only drink blood while you're out on a mission? Or will the automatically take some of your supply while you're out

So what does Rapturous do? I can't find a place to explain it, and his buff only show at lower than 50% HP. Is there a place to see its effects in-game?

My Flagellant has no audio - Am I missing a line of text?

They will take 1 stack of blood from you if they are about to die while in the hamlet.

Caltrops is good, I've not used Tracking Shot yet, and while Bulwark still isn't good, it's no longer the objectively worst skill in the game.

It's veteran level.

The flagellant doesn't load in that. Go to dlc/680100_crimson_court and check the crimson_court.heroes.load_order

How the fuck do I use flagellant?

He's pretty fucking straightforward.

Do not question the way.

>tfw get stressed irl when i see vampire enemies appear in the other dungeon
LEAVE ME ALONE BEAST

>flay shit
>%50 healt
>heal
>keep flaying shit

Bleed your foes. Bleed yourself. Everything must bleed.
>user's resolve is tested!
>FEARFUL

Do one of the following:
* Pair him with a jester
* Stack virtue chance so he doesn't have a heart attack
* Don't use him in the ruins
* Put him in row 2 and nowhere else

>When she hits up with the nudes

>flay
Flog.

>The whole thing about the vampire curse is how easily it can infect you and how blood is so important
>Hurr durr Im a flagellant I'm gonna literally tear my fucking skin out in this vampire musquito infected swamp

Not very bright that guy huh.

Question.

Shithead bird stole 8 of my trinkets.
No quest appeared to retrieve them
Several weeks later, a quest, "Shriekers Prize" appeared to loot its lair.
I go there, barely survive, shitbird flies off.
I did not get back my stolen stuff.
What did I do wrong?

He literally marks,rends and attacks your party if he goes rapturous.

Hes nuts.

Everything looks in standing order.
Maybe modded skins could've keked my audio..?

Thanks anyway my man.

If you get virtue with him it's pretty awesome. He protects all your party members and marks himself.

>Game crashes every time at the second dungeon of the dlc

gg no re

Could try verifying the integrity of your files, my flagellant bank is 1,419KB if it perhaps fucked up somewhere.

Usually the interaction between heroes isn't that affected by custom mods, unless you screwed with the Crimson Court DLC files themselves I don't think anything should be goofing on you because of hero mods.

Fix your shit, Red Hook.

This blood shit is the absolute worst mechanic ive ever seen.
How to ruin an entire game with 1 dlc. Good job, Reddit Hook

>If you get virtue with him it's pretty awesome
Getting a virtue is always awesome regardless of the hero. Doesn't change the fact that it's not worth it to risk an affliction, no even if you stack virtue bonuses.

Flag affliction isn't bad though.

The same event where the shrieker steals your shit allows you to go fight it immediately after. If you didn't go immediately to retrieve your shit they're gone forever. On that note having the shrieker steal your shit sets up the hunt shrieker quest later on

Are there changes to any heroes or something? Whats caltrops? Did they replace BH's bleed hook?

how do i increase the roster?

i hate having all my roster +3 and one dude at level 1

Well shit.
There was no quest to retrieve it after it first came and stole from me.
Is this a bug?

Caltrops are actually really solid.
-debuff + bleed damage,it stacks too.

No user, once the shrieker steals your shit, the weald will have a special dungeon with a unique icon that will only be available for the week.

upgrade the stagecoach retard

I'm telling you, there was only a regular veteran quest in the weald. I thought it was strange then, but an user in the previous thread said that it would come back later for me to fight.

It hapenned to some guy on the steam forum too, weird shit

Are all the skin mods broken now with the dlc out? Or are gameplay affecting mods only affected?

If you didn't get the quest then my condolences for your lost trinkets.

FUCK
2 of those were CC trinkets from the killer croc.
Can't be helped I guess

Full support flagellant is a fun meme.

can you prease explain his role

Finally god musketeer working as an arbalest, but I have two problems. First, its that this damn names you see in the picture that has paranthesis; i don't know how to fix this..please help.

Second, its the sound. Obviously, I didn't want to use the original sound of the arbalest since its an arrow shot, I can probably fix it using say the highwayman gun shots and a bit of the arbalest...hell I might even reused the musketeer sounds.

I'm tired, but do help me with the first problem. Thirdly, I need to know if arbalest unique items do work..which it should but I need to make sure.

Heals, destresses, clears marks/bleed/blight, tanks.

Recommended party for DD1? I have never found the courage to embark just yet

KUROKODAIRU!!!


how long is the dlc, lads?

A party that can deal damage at any rank - because of shuffles

Classes that can handle being shuffled every turn.

All-rounder berserker barring pure damage, most of his hits come from DoT. Overall, he's broken OP because he has a decent tool for every scenario. Best of all is that he only gets better the more he gets hurt; the real catch with that is losing him on death's door but he also gets bonuses from that too.

What do you guys use the Plague Doctor as? I can never get this hero to be that worth taking over someone who does more damage in 3rd row

BRING TORCHES INTO THE COURT MISSIONS

they have a fog obstacle thats basically a wall, and if you don't have a torch it seems to teleport you into the dungeon like the DD big DD enemy

>start round with dub stun/poison grenades
>heal/buff party when down to two frontline enemies
>if paired with leper, throw out a disorienting nade to clear corpses, shuffle and stun
>have the rest of the team finish off enemies or leave them to blight and concentrate on the others

Backrow stuns, massive DoTs particularly in ruins and cove, and bleed/blight cure on demand. The damage buff is also useful in a pinch

How do I get the fucking Baron invitation?
How do I get more fucking blueprints?
How do I cure the fucking crimson curse?
What the fuck was up with that alligator?

Turn 1: Double stun in the back.
Turn 2: Double plague in the back.
Turn 3: Double stun in the back.

So on and so forth.

rng
bosses and rng
you don't
nothing

Don't know if related but one time i my ancestral trinket (lantern) just disappeared, no shitbird or anything it just vanished

Setting up a kill team for a specific boss and having them strategically annihilate it is the best feeling

70% of the time you use her to stun rows 3 and 4 for 2 turns.

20% of the time you blight rows 3 and 4.

10% of the time you cure bleeds/blights.

You also cure diseases while camping.

>How do I get the fucking Baron invitation?
find court enemies carrying one, some claim keeping light bellow 70 helps

>How do I get more fucking blueprints?
kill bosses or pray for the event

>How do I cure the fucking crimson curse?
unknown

>What the fuck was up with that alligator?
he reminded you

>How do I get the fucking Baron invitation?
Court enemies spawn all over the island. Find them and kill them.
>How do I get more fucking blueprints?
Bosses and super rare event.
>How do I cure the fucking crimson curse?
HAHAHAHA
>What the fuck was up with that alligator?
Vampire experimentation. Also surprise mini-boss. I hope you brought bleed, shufflers and ranged fighters.

That's what you do in every fight though.

today I will remind them

It's Rng that depends on your infestation level. The people have crimson curse, the higher the chance for invitation.
I heard through boss battles or events, but I could be wrong
No one knows yet. I can only guess it involves more crimson court missions.
Mini boss they tossed in that will fuck you up.

SOOTHE

Do old skins still work with crimson court/updated dd?

So they buffed the bleed hook and changed its name? Alright, cool. Is that the only change? I thought someone mentioned something with the leper or the occ

>Vampire experimentation
>Fuck. The peasants are burning our hives. What the fuck do we do now?
>How about we make hives defend themselves?
>Oh I know, let's bring Irwin's old crocodile friends here.

Leper can mark and debuff prot/dmg from rank 1 to any enemy rank

Occultist can use his heal from any position now, Leper can mark enemies AND himself via intimidate for enemies, and withstand for himself. Highwayman's tracking shot can only be used once per battle, but lasts the whole battle, and the same is said about the crusaders Bulwark of Faith.

wew lads, the Baron mission was intense, basically Darkest Dungeon level, but for veteran heroes.
The Baron himself has 237 HP and highish (60-85%) resistances in everything.
His gimmick is that he hides himself and 3 other random(might have a pattern, but in my one try it looked like random enemies from the level) enemies inside of eggs, which break after taking one hit. As long as one of those eggs is alive you can't use healing skills, even those which only have that as one part like Flagboys Exsanguinate etc.
He respawned these eggs and hid himself again at 66% and 33%.
I managed to win with PD/HWM/F/H, but it was pretty close with PD hitting Death's door and HWM getting afflicted.
