I wonder how this works...
I am sad that I was the only one actively trying to keep the last thread alive at the end there, this is currently my favourite general and I don't want to see it gone.
>>135427483
AND NOW THE TRUE TEST...
BUMP FAST
OR GET ARCHIVED
>>135427483
I'm sorry, I was too busyplaying vidya.
Maybe it's time to let go, dad general.
I figure I should ask before I go to sleep, just in case I find the thread is gone never to return when I wake up again:
What should I know for champion difficulty?
I've done around 13X weeks of Apprentice difficulty quests and have them down to a science, and I've done about half a dozen Veteran but I've yet to ever do a Champion. My heroes are getting leveled up though now so won't be too long before I begin, what should I know before I start if anything?
>>135428369
>Maybe it's time to let go, dad general.
Pls no.
>>135428674
Expect to get buttfucked in the pussy and plan accordingly. That's all I can say without spoiling it, anon.
Every single time. Every single time I leave the cutthroat alive, he double crits.

Enjoy fags, these took a lot longer than i care to admit.
so is there a consensus on antiquarian yet?
prot buff and jew skills are nice but other skills are kinda underwhelming since I don't really need any money
anyone using her in rank5 runs? I'd like to hear how she is in lvl6
My Musketeer is still giving out generic critical hit lines even though I fixed the problem. I thought I did this properly, but maybe not. Also her lines in other language still say "MUSTKETNAME", do I have to change those too? The file I was supposed to edit was in localization, right?
>>135431278
She is a nightmare to use in Champion runs. I spam her party wide dodge skill and give her a healing trinket. If you don't need the money, just level her up for the achievement and never touch her again.
>>135431148
And the follow up.
Couldn't decide which outfit to put on who.
Personally i enjoy HWM/Stocking
>>135431482
oh, I forgot about a detail when I was explaining.
After making those changes, you need to run the "localization.bat" file.
>>135432493
Didn't know about that step. Hopefully this will work now.
Is Darkest Desires not Compatible with the Musketeer?
Seems like when I install both, some class and skill names get converted into code.
>mfw HWM shits out a 36 damage crit on resolve lvl 2, with only one damage trinket
god damn wicked slice

>>135430951
Is time for Darkest Nedroid again?
>>135437741
but why him? He's pretty easy to disable if he ever gets charmed, just pull the Siren forward or push him back (I give him a Swift Cloak so his move resist is lowered)
>>135437982
>>135438850
am I the only one that always tries to make Dismas & Reynauld go into quests together?
>>135438972
I always put Reynauld in the first slot and Dismas in the second (or third if the mission requires it)
>>135438972
I still have my original Reynald, Dismas, PD and Vestal group.
>>135439349
me too- oh.
>>135438972
If two characters work well together during a quest they'll be forever paired in my head.If they're the opposite gender, I'll give them the same surname and feel horrible when one gets killed and the other survives.
>>135439423
You failed Paschal.
>>135439578
and Counteville got fired a couple weeks after the first mission
still, all is well
I've killed Shambler 3 times in Apprentice and he hasn't shown up again. Is there a limit to one difficulty?
>>135440009
I killed the fucker thrice in one apprentice dungeon, so no.

>bled out.Ancestor
How.
What happens if everyone dies in DD4?
>>135441012
anyway, this means that it can miss, the hit rate is 114%.
Not really reliably dodgeable though
>>135441012
>>135441168
That's Doomsday. Doomsay is the madman AoE shout thing.
>>135440862
You can't shovel food into your mouth to fix being stabbed in the stomach either.

even harder to dodge.
>>135441313
Of course you can. Just eat enough that the half-chewed food protrudes from the rend in your gut and forms a seal.

Is the game crashing all the fucking time for anybody else?
We lost a good man this week.
Truth be told, fuckers had his number the second he stepped off the coach. He's been living on borrowed time until now.
>>135443283
Nope.
>>135443283
I've crashed a few times on the Ruins loading screen.
>>135444439Looks like it wasn't a false alarm this time.
Did they add any point to the bar since release or is it still risky?
>>135447779
It's shit. Your hero can misplace a trinket or go missing for up to 3 weeks. Just ignore it unless you need to max it out for completion sake.
>>135443283
Crashes all the time when I have shadowplay on. Might wanna look into that.

>>135454117
Ancestor, it's time to let go of /dadg/.
>>135454538
Different guy
No.
I'm surprised that style is so popular.
I would have thought you were all obsessed with DPS.
http://strawpoll.me/7088698
>>135455873
Style is vague. It can mean style as in display value (show-off, gimmick, immersion, roleplay, etc.) or it can mean style as in technique (riposte style, virtue cheese style, self-heal style, holy trinity style, etc.)
>>135456310
>virtue cheese style
Please, that's not an actual thing.
>>135456829
This very week someone in this very general said that if you run a Jester you have no excuse not to make all 4 heroes virtuous every dungeon.
There are people who swear by it.
>>135456949
My favorite part about Darkest Dungeon is that everything feels pretty viable. Like, I've heard people say it's impossible to run without a vestal or occultist, and also that hellion or houndmaster or bounty hunter is so OP, that using an arbalest or abomination is essentially cheating because they're so good (this one was on the DD forums no less). There are people who live by the new riposte compositions with M@A or HWM, there are people who would never build a party without a PD (for insane utility) or GR (for free disease clears and great damage). Yesterday, I saw a guy say that he thought Jester was the best hero in the game - and I can't ever get Jester to work for me other than stress clearing. And there is more than one person in this thread who loves their Leper or Crusader. We're only now finding out just how good Antiquarian is for combat not to mention the insane cash she brings in on even lit-up runs.
So yeah, everyone has different opinions about what's the best composition because everything is balanced out pretty well. Some people think certain classes are terrible and others think they're great because the game is designed so well.
>>135457118
>We're only now finding out just how good Antiquarian is for combat
Don't try and meme on me.
>>135457412
>80% prot and 10 dodge - plus combos with riposte
But even that aside, she's like my personal Wilbur. I kill an incredible amount of enemies with her two damage skills because my unlucky rolls very often result in enemies surviving with 2hp.
If she could only use her attacks from front ranks or was more restricted in which ranks she could hit, it would be awful, but as it is, she's a great finisher.
two lepers, jester, and occultist is the meme team
>>135457118
Except there's a such thing as having the best possible team comp.
This one for instance has never has never had a single affliction, never had a single death, and has always been able to leave champion dungeons in any area at near full health and near 0 stress, more often than not max health 0 stress.
They bring in unreal amounts of money, and are perfectly capable of doing long champion dark runs with not a single penny spent on provisions.
so what should I expect in Champion missions?
>entire team becomes fearful
>except the useless fuck, who becomes courageous
Painful irony.
>>135458070
>after 2 rooms
Jesus what god of luck did you piss off?
>>135458182
4x bugs in the first hallway, they were faster than all but the houndmaster and harry didn't quite off any of them. Four hits, two crits, ~30 stress to everybody.
When I got to the room, two bone royalty and one of each cultist.
>>135458043
Expect to get fucked. Imagine it like having all of your enemies getting their base stats doubled.
Also if you ever take a trip to the Weald expect rabies. A LOT OF FUCKING RABIES.
I'm not even joking about this. Every time I take a party to the weald they all come back with Rabies.Eventually champion dungeons become trivially easy due to your knowledge of the game. Enjoy their difficulty while you can.
>>135458441
It's better to kill one maggot (especially one with an action left) than to damage them all halfway unless you feel very confident another character can finish them before can act.
By killing a maggot you deny a possible stun AND damage.
>>135458464
So they'll be difficult forever because I'm incompetent. Got it.
>>135457909
More than 45,000 per run?
>>135458653
I wasn't expecting minimum damage on every single one of them, is the thing. I left literally every bug with a single hitpoint after bleed. If the RNG had been just a little bit less of a bitch, I would have killed one or two at the least.
>>135457909
To be honest,that team comp also looks a bit boring.
>>135457909
What did you build this part for? Bleeds?
>that feel when raking in mad dosh
>>135458868
The most fun team comps are always Leper team comps.
I remember when I thought 60 was a lot of damage. If only I knew the depths of power that the Leper wielded. Back when I first started champion runs though I was ecstatic about it.
>>135459094
I am 100% sure crest drops got buffed in the AQ patch
They're dropping like crazy
>>135459078
Healing
Stress Heals
Dodge
Damage
>>135459257
Vestal does nothing but heal? Jester does nothing but play? Dogman does nothing but dodgetank?
>>135459116
Stacking buffs on a leper is better than sex.
>>135459325
I mean they do other things, but that's what their main purposes are. Often times your heroes will be at 0 stress so Jester is there to spam bleeds or buffs. Vestal usually just spams heals but occasionally spams +torchlight or judgement when there's no need to heal. Houndmaster is almost never not spamming dodge. That said he does a lot of damage so he can finish off enemies or use his mark for prot reduction.
Hellion occasionally spams adrenaline rush to stall for time so the jester and vestal can get extra turns in to heal.
>>135459376
>only +57%
Imagine for a second your Leper had rabies, and had Ancestor's Pen + Dismas head with a Jester to boost accuracy, crit, & speed.
Add to that you're on a long champion Warrens run & drank plenty of moonshine.
Pretty soon you're critting ever other turn for 100 damage after using his own +damage buff.
216 hours in and i finally got one of those
looks like a damn good item
>>135461419
28 hours in, I have one of those and an aria box too.
I also have two heads.
>>135461419
Wait until you see Ancestor's Candle
>>135462171
I-I see...
>>135462310
Oh yeah, that's a good one, too bad I don't have it on this file. Doing NG+ 31 weeks in
>>135462571

>>135462659
>"I fought the Shambler and all I got was this map" t-shirt now available (the map is good don't get me wrong)
Besides the 91 weeks there's also a 13 deaths limit

>91 weeks and 13 deaths
I can barely survive vanilla champion difficulty with obscene amounts of grinded money and trinkets. God speed you madman.

>WANT to fight the shambler

>>135463493
>Decide to level up shitty low resolve heroes
>Quest almost done, heroes in bad shape
>Altar
well... that was easy
>>135457909
I use a similar team in the Warrens, except I have the Occultist instead of Vestal since he has some nicer attacks and can place Marks for the Houndmaster.
My best team, however, is Plague Doctor-Occultist-Abomination-Hellion. They're Cove-only, but they always have next to no negative quirks, and always leave the dungeon with near-perfect health and stress. By far my favorite team.
>>135463493
>Houndmaster goes paranoid
>>135466079
what is that heart trinket?
>>135463493
I've been there, went a dozen weeks without seeing one. Best I can suggest is manipulating your guys to go virtuous using +virtue trinkets at the start of long apprentice runs with a couple of -food items thrown in for good measure and an "if it bleeds" Hellion, then doing everything in the dark but keep a torch or two safe.
Max chance of finding Shamblers and you're sure to be ready for the fucker when he does show up.

>>135471492

>>135472065
nice idea anon, but i meant stat/ability changes not visual changes
>>135471492
Let her fly the Millennium Falcon by herself.
>>135472875
ok?
Is it viable to go through DD without some sort of stress relief (outside of camping)?
I just finished the first level and I think if it wasn't for my jester the whole party would've died from heart attacks.
The fuck? I thought secret rooms were guaranteed to spawn on long missions? I got a full dungeon scout from a pack and it didn't show up.
>>135474868
maps don't reveal secret rooms
>>135474868
I've noticed that not all full map scouts from packs reveal secret rooms.
You can scout the same corridor later on and find a secret room that wasn't detected earlier.
>>135475006
I'd fuck it.

Eh, could be better.
How possible is it to add more barks to each character? I think it'd be nice to have some more fleshed out chats.
>>135475816
you can add as many lines as you want to the game, but I'm not sure how the underlying code would handle it.
I haven't patched the game yet, because I've downloaded it from piratebay
If I do find a way to patch it, will my save be wiped?
>>135476053
most likely not
>>135476053
Saves aren't wiped from updates since they're somewhere in your appdata.

What's your Youtube channel so I can watch your nasally but well-informed playthrough?
>>135479475
If I were to do it I'd do it screenshot based(with complementary webms) on a certain forum. I can't fill the amount of dead air that exists in this game, and I like roleplaying the characters. I did it for UFO Defense, TFTD and Apocalypse, it was quite fun.

>no friendship/rivalry mechanics
Wasted potential
>>135479895
just something as simple as less stress damage when in a party with a "friend" and more crit chance when in a party with a "rival" coupled with some lines would be pretty cool.
Nothing is voiced, so you can easily make shit like "Try to beat that, %RIVALNAME%!"
>>135471492
maybe replace the mark synergy with repeated skill use synergy, like abom with Rake.
Just something off the top of my head.

It could even take a page from Swine King/Wilbur. A close friend lands on death's door? Their buddy activates a free random ability, targeting either their wounded friend or the enemy that attacked them.
That, and if all or the majority of your party has good relations, they occasionally get collective bonuses to things like move resist, virtue chance, or scouting because they work well together.
Opposite goes if their relationships are somehow negative. It wouldn't be as stringent as the Abom and Vest/Crusader, or as hindering as affliction, but enough to show they just don't make a good team (despite being complimentary classes).
>>135471492
Some kind of old black powder grenade, perhaps ?
>>135485742
Modify the BH's grenade?
Have the Black Powder Bomb randomly hit two locations with a chance to debuff (speed, accu, ...?)
>>135443283
Try running steam as admin
>>135485742
>>135486426
You know, along the lines of grenades I wish there was some optional consumable you could buy at the start which wouldn't use an item slot but would be wasted if you didn't use it before the end of the quest, that would hit 1+ enemies for guaranteed damage - no roll for hit or dodge but it's a weak hit.
X-com has grenades for when you absolutely have to kill an ayy lmao and can't risk missing it and even rookies can use them just fine, it's kind of annoying that DD doesn't have access to some form of guaranteed damage for emergency situations or if your last guy can't normally attack from position 1 and all that's left is a 1hp Wilbur or something.
>>135486426
Pretty much. The PG and the BH both have debuff grenades, perhaps have this one do some kind of damage ? A bleed, maybe, they were filled with nails and pieces of metal, after all.
>>135486941
Maybe Auntie could have really high base accuracy or something?
>>135487151
I mean, some sort of weak sure hit attack that's accessible to everyone, just to prevent absolute bullshit where the last living hero can't attack or an entire party is wiped because of one bad roll vs a 2hp enemy.
I'd want it to be:
>100% chance to hit regardless of accuracy modifiers or dodge bonuses
>Available to all heroes, resolve levels and positions
>Limited use
>Hits 1 or more opponents (not randomly)
>Weak hit (maybe 5 damage?)
>Not random damage (if it can do 5 damage, then it always does 5 damage)
>Not free to use
Basically, a guaranteed way for any hero to do X damage for sure, but a low enough amount that you wouldn't spam it and something you would hesitate to use due to the costs of it or something else.

i want to go to champion medium dungeon in the ruins to kill the necromancer there's awesome item for my vestal as reward. how should i prepare. i got my A team which is BH,vestal,MAA,HWM. are they ok for this ?
>>135488592
2 crusaders, 1 heal, 1 support/DPS
>>135488592
If the item is Sacred Scroll, don't use it. Use the Tome of Holy Healing or Junia's Head instead. They don't have the huge speed and stun chance penalty.
>>135488802
crusaders are useless.
>>135488918
i use no trinket pnealty mod.
>>135488960
>crusaders are useless.
Not against undead.
>>135488960
Well what's the point of even choosing a good trinket if you mod out the downsides? You might as well mod yourself a trinket that gives you 5000% damage and stress resist.
>>135488960
>i use no trinket pnealty mod.
You gotta be kidding me, why do you even need advice to beat bosses?
>>135488960
Why are you even playing the game if you're just going to mod it to make it easier?
>>135488960
You are useless.
>>135488960
>crusaders are useless
Horseshit. They chew up undead like nobody's business, they have a stun and a solid AoE, and they can heal, destress, and increase light with a single skill.
>>135488960
>no trinket pnealty mod
But why?
Any 4chan hackerman here who knows how to extract the audio from the .bank files?

Hmm...
Getting upper level character directly at the stage coach really helps for the difficulty. Them having upgraded stuff and skills is so comforting, Only one hero died in the 10 last weeks and I'm getting more and more level 3 heroes. I will soon try level 3 dungeons to see how they behave
Got the game yesterday, fun so far, but I've only been grinding short missions so far and can already approach a boss. Is this normal? I have only one lvl3 Crusader.
>>135494046
Trinkets?
>>135491930
cause its a retarded shit that makes the game unnecessary hard.
>>135494764
Fuck pleb

>>135494764
The game is easy enough as it is without all of the risk factors removed.
>>135494764
That's the least plausible excuse I can think of, trinkets have negative quirks to keep them from being too ridiculously overpowered, you might as well just get a mod that lets you win the game right now because that's utterly pathetic reasoning.
>>135494764
>playing in baby mode
People too weak to resist to the power of mods should not play this kind of game. Skyrim is much more suited to you, anon.
>>135495056
Dismas is already dead. I'm sorry Reynault
Can someone tell me how to install the musketeer class please ? Can I just drop the folder into the hero folder or is it more subtle ?
Should I ignore Veteran dungeons / bosses until I have LVL3 heroes with similarly upgraded Armor / Weapons?
Would it be highly disadvantageous to go against e.g. the Necromancer with mostly LVL2 ones?
>>135497334
You can beat it just fine with level 2, if you have full confidence that you know what you're doing and have a solid strategy to back it up.
>>135497334
Level 3 heroes can't take on apprentice bosses
I would strongly urge you to take only level 3+ into Veteran dungeons unless you know what you're doing, because they do step up in difficulty considerably.
>>135497538
>Level 3 heroes can't take on apprentice bosses
Not seeing where he asked that.
>>135497519
>>135497538
This is my first playthrough, so aside from my Apprentice level experiences I can only rely on the DD's gamepedia page to built strategies. Even worse, I haven't been in any Veteran dungeons yet. So I guess I should try to focus on those first and stick to careful level-ups for a while. Thanks for the help!
>that little wet noise when your PD blight grenade misses its target
>>135496998
no its actually very nice with the mod. Without it almost all the trinkets are trash. Its still hard with the mod.
ye I play skyrim for time to time. Good game.

Seriously, what the flying fuck?!
Just went against the Swine Prince and he annihalated my whole team with four attacks. Wtf am I supposed to do? I can't bring lvl3 chars, so I went up against him with 1-2s. On my way towards him I killed pretty much everything in breeze, no stress or big damage.
>>135504014
I'm betting $5 right now that you attacked Wilbur before the Swine Prince was dead, because that auto triggers a big retaliatory strike against you.
>>135504201
You won 5$, but that was the second or third attack before he killed my Arbelist and put everyone else on death's door.
Also I had an Occultist as healer with me, bc I thought Jaffar and the archers bandaids would be enough.
>>135504632
Step 1: Don't kill Wilbur
There's no step 2.
>>135504632
Attack Wilbur first or kill him for a bad time.
>>135504632
lel swine prince is a joke m8, shouldve spam weakening on him with your jaffar
>>135504770
Step 1: activate Riposte
Step 2: kill Wilbur

Buckshot lowers dodge or protection instead of shuffle.
Bandage heals over time, like a reverse-DoT.
Call the shot still marks, but lowers the enemies speed.
You could also try making her sort of like a reverse Grave Robber where Aimed Shot is powerful, but moves her back two spaces, Sidefire is her "toss knife" that lowers enemy dodge, and some other skill moves her forward while increasing her protection.
>>135504014
>tfw bring an arbalest to swine king but forget to equip her mark ability before ending the boss room
Aimed shot does bonus damage to enemies that haven't acted yet instead of marked enemies.

What does the shambler give if you kill him after getting all 5 of his trinkets?

>>135517376
Since I hear constant whining about the fungus-bros:
>pull 3rd position artillery
>kill 1st position artillery before it gets to retreat (stun or damage it before pull)
>stun 2nd position groper
>3rd position does harmless swipe and ends up at 2nd position
>repeat 3 and 4 until your whole party is 100% stress and damage free
All three types of movement skills are really good, use them more frequently.
How do i use the Jester?
He seems pretty inferior to the other heros
>>135520763
Jester's one of my core staples who gets a spot on 80% of my teams, he's great.
Both his scythe bleed attacks, lute and his party buff. Stick him in position 3, stress heal your guys as needed(getting an afflicted hero to 0 stress cures the affliction), party buff as needed and use the scythe attack that hits both pos 2 and 3 when not dealing with stress or his single target if there is no pos 3, one is a corpse, or if a specific enemy just HAS to die.
>>135520763
>Leave him in the back and spam stress heals like you would use a vestal for normal heals
>Build into a shuffle party (helps a GR reposition faster after lunge, etc.)
>Use strictly for bleeds
>Accuracy cheese
>>135520763
Good bleed damage, amazing stress relief (even better with a Bright Tambourine) and a damn good debuff skill. I'd say it depends on your party but soloing continuously and using finale whenever I want to back it up to heal some stress works really well, especially if you get shuffled. With a debuff amulet you're almost guaranteed to lower enemy accuracy significantly.
Plus finale is damn cool
>>135521928
>>135521682
I remember when everyone was new and considered Jester shit tier.
Then they actually made it to late game.
I can't stop usingkickstarter trinkets and heros.Somebody help me. I don't want to be scum anymore.
>>135525401
Jester still isn't great mostly because he isn't foolproof (pun not intended) but he is inarguably the best stress remover.
That being said, DD rewards good party composition building so Jester has no trouble being a worthwhile hero if you build your party conscious of his role.
>>135525690
It doesn't even help you that much. Just use real trinkets. You'll end up having to deal with a real downside or get like 5% less stun chance, but that's it.

>>135525779
The problem is that I can't stop spending the first half hour of every playthrough sitting there in the hamlet and combing through the backer hero/trinket lists for an ideal team.
Then they do so well that they level past my ability to support going on missions, and I end up with one or two apprentice bosses queued up with nobody available to send.
Then I fuck up and try sending my A-team out on veteran missions with level 1/2 weapons and skills and eventually they get killed, or I need to take half of them off for destressing and my whole carefully planned setup falls apart and since I've been rushing for blacksmith and guild improvements to keep the ball rolling the coach is still completely unupgraded and I'm stuck trying to patch the holes in my carefully made lineups by drawing from two shitty randoms a week while my A-team needs two weeks to recover from stress because the church and tavern have maybe one upgrade each and half my roster always seem to end up with either god fearing or love interest.
I feel like I'm off to a good start here.
>>135525690
I used to use them all the time, but my normal trinket quality has improved so much now that I never even bother using any other than a rare Starbreaker or Crest of the 1100.
>>135527031
Well lucky you. I got 400 gold and a bust.
>>135526702
Trash your save and start again, don't give in to temptation and get any backer heroes or trinkets. Your problem is that you're riding on the backer heroes expecting you to get carried but they don't make that much of a difference compared to composition or RNG.
Don't rush blacksmith and guild, upgrade coach FIRST and get 5 heroes a week before anything else. Stop focusing on trying to make your first few heroes work for every mission, if a hero shows up with at bad quirks, send them on one mission and fire them after. You don't have to spend 1500 destressing a hero that isn't going to pull their weight, but that doesn't mean you can't use them for one mission.
>>135527269Can I still use Dominic Sullivan for a while just so I don't have to deal with mr. light fingers here?
>>135527748
No, if you make exceptions you'll just keep making exceptions one after another
>>135521562

I'm leveling all my heroes to 5 so I can start doing Champion stuff.
Next mission will have2 vestals.
>>135536170
Rank 2 vestal can be alright if you have the profane scroll.
>>135535481
are those toasters hanging off the crab?
>occultist crit heals for 2
>bleed 2 for 3 turns
>>135536170
You kinda fucked up.Might as well leave the Vestals on lower level for now, then just bring one to a Champion dungeon.
>>135536568
How much stress will they get not being level 5?
>>135536317
I have that item I think. I'll see how it works.
>>135537452
Just be sure to also give the rank 2 vestal a +acc trinket because of her low base acc.
>>135535487
>use a campfire
>get ambushed by stress enemies
funny joke red hook. you might as well reduce the campfire points to 8 and make an ambush preventing skill mandatory.
