Darkest dungeon

A bit surprised no mentioning of it in here.

I am playing it for a good few days. It is like 2d x-com with its own cool mechanics.

As any rogue like games it already made me rage a few times, but like all good rogue games it makes me come back like a little b****.

At one point I went to try kill boss with my A list group. I learned the hard way boss mechanic... Killed my jester that I had fully upgraded for that fight and barely ran away with the rest of the group with destroyed stress levels.
Since then I killed that boss with other group. From then I decided still not check on bosses tactics online. Its hard, but a lot more fun.

Today I did my first level 3 mission. Got a good few level 3 heroes at this point. I will need to train some heroes to level 2 and tackle a few more bosses.

So? Anyone else got any nerd rage stories?

I killed the Baron. Handy how it cures everyone and resets the infestations.

I guess I was having the opposite problem to a newbie doing CC, I was doing it when I had ~20 Lvl 6 Heroes, so I had a limited pool of relevant heroes for Veteran runs (bare in mind I'm playing on PS4 so cannot mod roster size - I have the game and all the DLC on PC too, but my main/best save file is on PS4).

When the CC launched it was PAINFUL to get Blood and Invitations.
It's patched now, hell I don't even thing the "Gather the Blood" mission even existed at launch, it was added due to community complaints.
So the Vintner was kind of necessary if you had the relevant resources to build it.
I must have about 2/3rds of the districts built now

I'm not sure if the Fanatic or Baron are worst. They seem far more difficult than any vanilla bosses. Partially due to the 3x actions per round. The Fanatic is like an overpowered Hag.

I'm a purist too, having my main save file on PS4 has had to ensure that :P

Also started a new campaign with all the bells and whistles plus Marvin Seo's 4 class mods. From the outset the game feels "harder" Feels like enemies are resisting, dodging and being missed alot more, and stress accumulation seems to have increased. I already had a new recruit die of a heart attack in the Warrens without said hero having any negative stress quirks. Deathblow resist % also feel lower, but i could be wrong. I know they did some work under the hood in regards to accuracy, unsure if that work extends to stress build up and resists.

CC does objectively make the game harder though. Even if you just look at the Blood Craving/Wasting debuffs (versus Passive Bloodlust). It only starts to become more neutral if you build some of the Districts. You don't open CC with anything that makes your guys or hamlet better.

I'm not saying the CC content itself or enemies are harder, but it does definitely add a Meta layer of difficulty while you are in the thick of the Infestation.
And I'm speaking from experience here, I've finished all 4 DDs and am now struggling along at high Infestation and due to kill the Baron. My Rank 3-4 guys are all cursed and it's just annoying.

Started a new campaign last night with the new DLC. God help me.

New DLC Coming Early/Spring 2018 (apparently)

http://www.darkestdungeon.com/darkest-dungeon-presents-the-color-of-madness-dlc/

Some hateful shard of alien origin has streaked through the night sky, crashing into the old Miller’s farm on the outskirts of the Hamlet! Those unfortunate enough to witness the Comet’s arrival have been blinded by what they can only describe as a shifting, ephemeral hue of damnably abrasive intensity. There has been no word from the farm in a fortnight, save for the unearthly groaning that echoes from the ruin of the mill…

A New Quest Type: Get lost in time and space as you confront unending waves of enemies, new and old, pushing ever closer to the crash site of the Comet. Survive as long as you can stomach, and compare your highest kill count with friends and rivals alike!
A New Enemy Faction: The husks of the Miller and his farmhands roam the area around the windmill, spreading the all-consuming influence of the Comet’s light.
Powerful New Trinkets: Visit the Nomad Wagon and spend Comet Shards to purchase trinkets with new and powerful functionality.

The team at Red Hook is thrilled to continue to support Darkest Dungeon with this latest DLC. We’re committed to providing our new and veteran players alike with the very best in all-consuming misery and morbidity. The Color of Madness DLC is planned for a spring release, and pricing information will follow in the new year.

You shouldn't be playing Abom as a tank, he's better in Slot 2 as a "support/dps".
Double Blight and Stun, self heal and doesn't cause teammates stress!

I cleared "most" of the content on my very first run. So i kinda sorta cleared it purist first time.......r-right?

Come on now.
Stop playing the game the way you enjoy, and start playing the game the way that is least shameful

I wouldn't be in favour of removing the Abomination restriction personally, as I'm a bit of a purist tbh.
It would be removing a game design choice the devs made and essentially making the game "easier", like removing Corpses etc

Have heard of Lamia and Thrall on PC, but not the Falconeer. Will look into the Falconeer and Increased background art

I'd be inclined to recommend trying to finish the game once without any additional classes (and stagecoach mods) because well..... purist

Well when it first came out i got to the Darkest Dungeon and had almost a full roster of level 5 heroes. I lost 2 squads to the dungeon and then i just kinda drifted away from the game. Having started it again i started fresh but decided to mod this time as i cleared "most" of the content on my very first run. So i kinda sorta cleared it purist first time.......r-right?

Abomination restriction removal was simply because i found it hard to get him into group and always ended up bring another tank instead. And since the Lamia isn't restricted i thought **** it...

Been getting back into this game after quitting on it back near launch (as i never fully cleared the game) Not sure if the PS4 has mods but there are a few mods i fully recommend.

Marvin Seo has 3 class mods that fit really well into the Darkest Dungeon universe. Falconeer, Lamia and Thrall. They are well balanced and beautifully "animated" All mods come with sub mods that give trinkets and a quest to get them immediately from the stagecoach. I have tried other class mods but they either don't look right or are horribly overpowered.

Another mod is one that increases background art variation, so it looks like you are travelling down different corridors each time. And the last one is a mod that removes the group restrictions on the Abomination.

You can also go into the config files and increase the capacity of your roster to accommodate the 3 new heroes

Generic Dreadhead

You should be able to simply add the character to your existing play through, same as with Crimson Court. So yes.

Well, i know what I'm doing tonight (getting paranoid and stressed out in the Dungeon).

I can't seem to find anywhere on the subreddit, forums or steam if this is savegame compatible (ie we don't need to start a new one). I presume the enemies and new hero will just pop up in the Dungeon and Staging Coach respectively.

New Hero (Shieldbreaker) is gonna be live on PC in 6 hours.
It will be $3.99 so probably €3.99 (bit much for the content, but I do like supporting the developers of this game)
Personally gonna wait till the PS4 release myself as my "main" playthrough is on one of my PS4 save files

http://store.steampowered.com/app/702540/Darkest_Dungeon_The_Shieldbreaker/

New hero class: the Shieldbreaker
Dynamic, tactical skill set for the Shieldbreaker featuring all new combat mechanics including: Armor Piercing, Guard Break, and Stealth
Shieldbreaker class-specific trinkets, including a set.
3 New Monsters - frightful illusions from the Shieldbreaker's origin, now slithering forward to infest the Estate
New Consumable Item - Aegis Scale, providing a last bastion of protection for when a hero truly needs it.

Pokemon was my great idea, trade after every gym, Civ would work well too. Xcom could be done also.

Generic Dreadhead

Civilisation would be a good bet for something less sweaty maybe

That's a cool idea GD, gonna steal it for boards, Darkest Dungeon might be a bit too hardcore though.

Generic Dreadhead

I'm going to be participating in an interesting community (i guess) event.
It's called "Reddit vs Darkest Dungeon".
Not sure if there's been similar on Boards, perhaps there has, it's a great idea though.

But essentially, you get a load of players and you share the save file between you, in turns.
It's something thats been done before for games on Reddit apparently.
So we all do 5 weeks/dungeons in DD and then you upload the save to the cloud, and pass it on to someone else and do a write up/cliff notes of your run for the next player/rest of the players.

The key difference is I am planning on Streaming my run on Twitch (but it'll be from PC, as opposed to PS4 where i normally stream DD).
I'll pop an ole message/post up at the time, but it'll likely be 9pm BST Wednesday at this stage.
Could be a fun one as basically the game is being shared by ~20 of us so it could go brilliantly or horribly wrong.

The new mechanics are pretty.... tough

The Trinket rebalancing has been met with some salt to say the least

Pretty tough? That's an understatement of the week seeing how bloody rare blood is...

I'm a little ashamed to admit I always pussy out of Shambler fights. I've only attempted it a handful of times in 255 hours of Darkest Dungeon. I think it traumatised me early in my DD lifetime and as such I've been scared.

My first Shambler kill was today, with a party of two level 0s and two level 1s. Occultist - Houndmaster - Grave Robber - Bounty Hunter.

A trifling victory ... but a victory nonetheless.

Need to get back to playing this (possibly from scratch though; can't even remember where I'm at in my original playthrough, but don't think I was in a super spot)

If you intend on getting the DLC, it might be better to do a fresh playthrough, perhaps in Radiant (see: Sped up) mode

I have a playthough on about week 75 on PC and week 105 on PS4. Both on "Darkest" and Default

I am legit going to finish my PS4 playthrough asap before any of these balancing changes come into affect on Console

Thankfully I only have 2 DD runs (Belly of the Beast & Hell is the Heart) and 3x Lvl5 Bosses left (Hag, Flesh, Pounder) and I am 100% done!
