Why did they ruin the game with bullshit RNG?

Why is overconfidence a slow and insidious killer?

Why do you answer to question with a question? Are you a Jew?
>>
>>321986671
The game was intended to be so hardcoar XDXD bullshit and not fun from the start, it's finally how it was supposed to be.
>>

What happened recently?

Am i?

It's even more bullshit hard and evwn mote no fun allowed.

Just as the devs wanted
>>
"let's just add more stress attacks but no way around them" is basically what they're doing with this game

are you?

What is the objectively best team line-up? I just run leper, man-at-arms, houndmaster and vestal. I just think they look cool so I pick them, and I get decent success.
>>
>>321987884
>the tutroial is known to wipe starting parties numerous times
Well that's bullshit, the tutorial is the start where you have the crusader and highwayman, and what he's saying doesn't make sense, if players figure out how to completely ignore a system consistently, then yeah, you're going to buff that system to be more effective, or nerf taht system if it gets in the way of newer, more interesting designs.
>>
>>321987884
Sounds like someone needs to git gud
>>
>>321987982
Switch leper to hellion. You actually need more people who can attack the 4th position(most bosses).

It's more about the devs reading the feedback and "fixing" the workarounds of their bullshit.
>>
>>321988315
That can happen? Never seen it before.
What language are you playing?
And honestly that curio's rare enough so it's not going to wipe you multiple times.
>>
>>321988326
Ehh, i can see where they're coming from, if you've made an obstacle you want people to struggle and overcome it, rather than just avoid it using different stratagies
>>
>>321986671
What did they do? I only played the pirated beta for a week on launch.
>>
I have like 50 weeks in this game and so far I lost only one character only becouse I was a greedy motherfucker. You need to git gud.
>>
>>321987982
I cheesed my way through the game with 3 helions 1 healer. 24 hours later they nerfed the combo.
>>
>>321988315
how the fuck are you supposed to win THAT.
>>
>All these people playing early access
What?
Why not play it when its finished

I just use cheat engine to tweak the difficulty to a more reasonable fucking level.

Devs punish people for making strategies. That, and the RNG has taken over the game. Might as well play Hearthstone at this point.
>>
>>321986671
Glad I never spent money on this turd, sounds like devs are too wrapped up in fucking the players for the sake of fucking the players instead of making the game fun to play. Well that and artificially lengthening the game I guess while hiding behind "get gud" status.

I'll pass.

>>321986671

RNG is skill.
Just ask any CS player.

this thing only spawns with no light present, and is pretty op, but you only have yourself to blame for running out of torches
>>
This looks like a game I'd enjoy judging by the lets plays but the devs seem to be literal cancer so fuck them.
>>
>>321988550
>That can happen? Never seen it before.
it's an easter egg for intentionally dicking around until your torch goes out
>>
It's like a less fun version of Long War. At least in LW you get more tools to deal with the increasing difficulty.

2 crusaders, a plague knight, and a vestal made it to level 6 without casualties on my very first time playing a few days ago.

Are people just bad at this game?
>>
>>321988315
>>321988070
The only way shambler spawns is low light

The only way to get low light in the tutorial is to fucking walk around for ages

>>321990785

When is the game coming out?
>>
It's a pretty easy game, I get what all the whining is about

If you build parties properly to handle all the threats of the game (damage, stress, stun, bleed, blight, crits, shuffle) then you only run into issues in the rarest of circumstances

>>321989912
Yeah because high end trinkets totally don't exist

And that's ignoring the obvious mention of gear and skill upgrades

Kek.

I wont touch the game until release. I played the game right after it come out on early access and leveled up all character to 6 then It got deleted by a new patch.
>>
>>321986671
But the RNG isn't even a problem.

The only problem is how simplified the quirks and afflictions are.
You have two sets of 7 Quirks that repeatedly cycle with each run with no particular rhyme or reason.
They only give buffs or debuffs.
Diseases are the only thing that's not quite as binary as that.

They don't impact party interaction in the slightest either.

It's decent for the style of the game but it's far removed from the initial pitch.
>>
>>321993137
What was the initial pitch and mechanics?
>>
>>321993660
As far as I remember the initial kickstarter emphasized party interaction more.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1460250988/darkest-dungeon-by-red-hook-studios/description

The Quirks are onesided buffs and debuffs as opposed to something which could hypothetically be exploited.
Party members don't have unique interactions with other specific party members, so far the only interaction is that religious party members won't party with an abomination.
Quirks happen randomly with few exceptions (Iron maiden etc).

It all just compounds to the adventurers being very generic and swappable, class aside.
One Leper is as good as the next.
It works for the current incarnation where you do toss expendables into the meatgrinder but it's quite mediocre.
>>
>>321994656
what if every class had like two or three variations of each skill which are randomly rolled and decided when you hire them
