What did he mean by this?

he is right though

Am I going to like this game if I like XCOM?

Well I thought this was a pretty good game, but after seeing this i may have to reconsider.

>my shitty edit that was made in 20 minutes is an OP
flattering

fuck you, I can't get that out of my head now

that pineapple is okay to put on pizza, though that doesn't mean that he's right

Wait there's gonna be a darkest dungeon dota announcer pack?

eh not often, they give more exp so they can be useful in hard mode, but you run into more shit than you can carry

pirate it and find out

yes, but it was delayed because of the DLC

eventually yes

2 Antiquarians + 2 Heroes with Riposte = ???

Well that's rad

>As for his Religion blocking teaming with the Abom, we actually are hoping to do a rework of that system generally and make it quirk-driven. That would fit the mechanics of the game better and allow for evolving heroes.
>We had to punt the Religious rework for the Crimson Court launch as we didn't have enough time. It's something we are still very keen on doing and possibly even sooner rather than later. Poor Abom...
>See also: improving the 'religious' designation to be more interesting, and potentially looking at hunger.

backing furry abom designer btfo soon

sounds good

Any further description of 'looking at hunger', or just casting an eye over it in general?

It was part of a response to a question asking what they think needs improvement, but that's all that was said on hunger.

WHERE ARE THE KEYS IN THE BARON MISSION?

Has anyone else experinced losing the CC trinkets despite Shrieker recovery quests popping up? They seem to have become another trinket on me and I'm mad

Reminder of that which is a slow and insidious killer.

inside small chests scattered across the map.

...

keep on going checking every room
enjoy stress penalty when walking back an entire corridor
:^)

>yfw you go on the second CC mission blind

Neat. I always thought the anti abomination thing or any anti-character idea could be interesting, but more as a quirk instead.
First one is bottom right. I don't remember the others. They're all in small chests.

>It took three invites to go through everything.
>Got the town event to where any level character would join in.
>Got my favorite comp for this of Leper, Flagellant, Highwayman, and Vestal of all level 6 except the Flagellant.

literally received +20 stress irl after reading this

literally gained +20 stress irl after reading this

>Plutomaniac (obsessed with wealth) characters won't team up with kleptos
>God fearing won't team up with sexual deviants
what else?

all he's saying is that pineapple has the ability to be placed on pizza, he isn't encouraging or discouraging it.

>Desperately trying to forget about his wife and child to blot out the pain of leaving them
R-Rey that ain't cool, man.

WEAKENED

Anti-pineapple peeps are btfo about that fact alone.
Additionally, I've found that much of the anti-pinapple nonsense comes from people who've never even tried it.

Fucking awesome, I'd always thought it'd work great as a Quirk. Especially if you throw it into a new pool of other things like

Cynophobia: This adventurer refuses to travel with Houndmasters.

Coulrophobia: This adventurer refuses to travel with Jesters.

Shit like that, and some sort of Trust system wherein people can bond and gain bonuses when paired with other friends and whatnot. Like passive stress reduction, but potential increased stress gain if their friend goes mad. I'd love a system like that.

pineapple pizza is pretty good

pretty weird that xcom is getting a bond system for darkest dungeon is

what did he mean by this?

>when the caretaker spends weeks in the penance hall

Has X-Com really been far as decided to use Bond System even go want to do Darkest Dungeon look more like?

How do you use arb?
She always seems like a waste of space when I use her

>can't fucking kill the Caretaker

Fuck you I'm a descendant of the Ancestor, let me be an asshole

Anyone know when CODEX will release another patch for the latest build?
How long after beating the first courtyard mission do my bois start contracting the curse?

They have to get attacked by CC mobs that have curse attacks. They won't just contract it on their own.

>Implying the Caretaker is real.

>tfw no darkest dungeon mod for XCOM 2

Yes.

The Caretaker is the only one crazy enough to run the Stagecoach through the Weald. Without him, you wouldn't be able to receive new heroes.

what if you're the caretaker

They start popping up in the regular dungeons, though, right?
Or are the ones who use curse abilities only found in the courtyard?

Do esquires and courtesans appear outside of the Court?

Do you like risk management simulators in general and dealing with in game and real life stress?

does not look like it from what i have seen so far

Has anyone fought the statue boss yet?

...

At what point is it easier to head back and fight the croc? I got destroyed by it with a level 0/1 group when the DLC dropped... is there a comp that can fight it pretty well?

someone beated the countess?.
I belive that is so unproductive to have trinkets that work on the crimson court if this shit later heal itself. better become like another regular dungeon with the objective of triggering the vampirism heal

mark team

Is it me or Baron itself wasn't that hard? I had maxed party with almost best trinkets, it wasn't a completely brainless thing but I expected something brutal. Whole mannor itself was a bigger pain in the ass, and I am a bit disappointed by general HP of enemies, I wanna see their transformation and use of new skills, but even with thirst heal I still one shot them afterwards. Are next bosses much harder and dungeon enemies overall on champion CC?

Also I defeated Fanatic on lvl 3 mission, it was infinitely easier than on lvl5, altho it's kind of luck depending on you having dot or not. He dropped some useless piece of shit being "fasting' something that gives you +33 hp on crimson curse wasting and +4 speed, disappointed.

Yeah, as the infection in the other areas grows. That's also how you get the invitations to go kill the Baron.

allegedly you can go back in to randomly generated dungeons once you beat her

idk how you clear the curse outside of the veil event though

>it was infinitely easier than on lvl5
didn't one guy mention the pyre does 48dmg instead of 2 on champion? was he wrong or did you do something special?

baron himself seems easy enough, getting to him in fighting shape seems to be the real test

is the third mission epic as well?

Courtesans and Esquires definitely need a buff. Also, I think Courtesans are supposed to be stronger in their human form. Manservants don't have any unique skills once they transform.

Most annoying new enemy?

What's everyone go to team for the Crimson Court Missions for right now? Leper, Flagellant, Highwayman, and Vestal has been working pretty well so far.

BZZZZZZZZ

I've been mixing it up a fair bit, but Reynauld and a good healer have been keeping the entire team in good health and spirits.
I wouldn't be bringing Reynauld along if not for the fact that it's my first time playing (bought it on sale with the DLC) and I got him infected before I knew what to do about it.

...

It's better to kill the lighter than it is to stun him right?

How's this team look for the 8 Pounder?

Yes. The Brigan pounder is a total joke boss.

How much did the backer donate to the kickstarter to get to design a character partially?

Any charitable backer anons around that would be willing to upload the musketeer set trinket images (assuming they exist)?

file path would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\DarkestDungeon\dlc\580100_crimson_court\features\crimson_court\panels\icons_equip\trinket

Based on nomenclature, assets should be named smoething along the lines of:
inv_trinket+cc_set_musk_silver_musket_ball.png
inv_trinket+cc_set_musk_second_place_trophy.png

How the fuck did some college aged autistic furry get enough money to throw 5,000 dollars at an indie game?

Do we actually know the pipeline for how backers receive Musketeer updates? Is it a hidden DLC on Steam or what?

>college aged
you would be surprised

most of the ones i have seen are furry but there are a few like the shovel knight guy that are just the regular variety autist

Can I get some mod recommendations?

can you Finale spam with herbs to remove the -dmg debuff?

Wanna win the game? Get the Offering.
Wanna be a casual? Pick anything that isn't cosmetic.

yes

...

Game is so hard, I'm not even able to play it.
My version crashes repeatedly when I'm trying to embark on the next mission. Never happened before DLC. Do you have any solution for this?

have you tried to verify files? if that fails try to reinstall and or restart afterwards

is that shit actually coming out

don't toy with me nigga

>reinstall
How about saves? Should I keep them, or start from the beginning?

would be odd if saves were the issue

you could try making a new save file beforehand to confirm or use a save from someone else to be sure

does DD on steam have cloud saves? if not backup your saves before reinstalling

Yeah it uses the cloud. Thanks for reply.

...

When people die, are their trinkets just lost forever?

>First ruins mission.
>Keep the light level lower to try and get some good starting funds.
>Reynauld steals the loot from every non-room curio.
Nearly 4k down the drain just like that.

WHERES THE RED KEY AT

>finally get 80 busts
>immediately build the Sanguine Vinters from the free blueprint given to you
No regrets, I hated having to hope to find bloodsuckers to get blood drops, even after the chance for it to drop has increased.

On that note, how do I find more blueprints again? Which bosses drop them?

Explain to a newfag why the Plague Doctor is the best waifu.

>Not bringing Jester or PD with AOE DoTs againest a boss with 4 targets and 1 life bar

Gonna start the Baron's dungeon soon. What party comp would you guys recommend and any particular strategy to beat him?

...

Am I a filthy casual for removing the Abomination party restrictions?

you wont clear it in 1 go

kill the eggs one at a time, he hatches the eggs after a few turns if you do not find him, but if you do he will not hatch them

he

the healing dot flagellant has remains even when you cant cast heals

no, it looks like devs will let us remove it eventually

What makes you think they'll ever do that? They haven't already after all this time and added a new class that also doesn't want to party with him either.
