Why is this game so additive?

why is this game so additive?

I played the game just about a month ago, did my first run on Stygian and barely finished with 6 deaths (including the two on the final boss). No desire to return to the RNG-fest that was surviving in Champion-level dungeons, I felt like the best way of dealing with them was just loading your team with two stunners and hoping to God that you don't miss your first few attacks.

>Additive

Here, you dropped this: c

playing with porn mods i see. a real man of culture

How quickly

I just recently failed my Stygian run after several hours of grinding. I kept dying to the first Darkest Dungeon despite my best efforts. I had no problem with champion level dungeons though.

It hurts pretty bad honestly.

What classes are useless?

Leper

Is that even a thing?

The least useful ones atm are Jester and Leper imo, but even they can work in the right party comps. It really is all about composition-- a jester still works well as a stress healer esp in a shuffle party. A leper can still do the one shot cheese strat with plague doctors.

t. pussy beta cuck who doesn't critting for 85 damage

>misses

Shieldbearer in anything that is not a short mission
Leper

I thought the abomination was the worst

Did they add anything for killing the final boss before he kills anyone?

Abomination is really bad if you don't have anything to handle the stress or in a shuffle team, otherwise it's really good

...

Actually has some of the highest stats in the game.

Its downside is due to being an outsider, it cannot be paired with any religious characters severely limiting its composition options and its supporting healer role to basically only Occultist.

CAW

Dude would definitely benefit from one of the tanky characters, though MaA certainly isn't bad.

Like nigga how do you miss like nigga equip a focus ring

God no, Abomination is pretty good. Stuns, can poison the middle two at once, can self stress and HP heal in a single skill, and can transform when shit goes bad. The abomination also has accuracy unlike the Leper.

Champion enemies have a ton of avoid. There is almost no reason to not equip moon/sun rings on your guys for both damage and accuracy. That is just to get characters to competent levels of hit rate, now you have to even add MORE accuracy if it is a Leper. There can't be tolerance for misses.

...

SALE WHEN

Black Fri- I guess the winter sale when it comes.

It's too simple to be addictive. Gets repetitive.

With a stress healer and his stress reduction relic, he is a burden in beast form (but can still stun/poison decently)

DLC FUCKING WHEN

champion dungeons are really easy desu. they're only a problem on bloodmoon difficulty but on that level you'll be stunlocking most enemies to deal with them safely.

>It's too simple to be addictive

They aren't too bad with torches, but torchless it can smack you up hard at any moment.

Same poster. People say that the first DD is the easiest, but honestly, the monsters in all DD missions have such high crit rates that they can all be pretty damn difficult. My first DD was also the hardest because I got crit on literally 10 times throughout the entire run.

The RNG in the game isn't so bad, but they really crank it up towards the end and it really feels like you're rolling the die even if you're playing 90+% optimally. i.e. using a Plague Doctor on DD3 to stun the White Cell Stalk, missing it once, and getting teleported out with a 4% teleport

>torchless champion runs

oh shit nigger what are you doing

if you need loot just go with an antiquarian

>He doesn't do torchless runs

why would you unironically got to champion dungeons torchless

>champion levels are really easy unless you play on a difficulty that's not piss-easy because there's a death counter / time limit

I'm and I think the strats to get by in Champion dungeons is just too binary. It's either bring stunners (2 or more) or get fucked by their crit rates.

Thoughts?

Did they change GREENZEROBLEED or are these anons just dumb?

The tide isn't turning at all.

not with fucking champions i don't

which game is this?

Confidence Simulator 2015

Is Plagie doctor best girl?

INSIDIOUS

Over 200 hours, and I can't stop playing.
Send help.

because you know these characters can become flawed, just like ourselves, you probably see yourself in ones with traits and quirks you can associate with.

nigga that's retarded

I WANT THIS NOW, HURRY UP RED HOOK YOU FRAUDS

A nameless abomination, a testament to my failures - it must be destroyed!

Is the Leper really as bad as everyone says?
He's actually gotten better recently through indirect changes and it's as if he fulfills some kind of niche now when used right.
>Hew allows for dismantling of mosquitos, stealthed hookers and quadruple fish deathsquads better than everyone but Abomination
>Intimidate and stun resist renders the Swinetaur, Chevalier and pincer crabs useless and vulnerable simultaneously
>Purge is still fucking useless

they're pretty straightforward even in stygian. you can get by with the standard strat but you're encouraged to go for stuns/debuffs since monsters are more susceptible to them. you can get by with a PD most of the time, as long as you have a dedicated healer with you. Barring some really nasty crit strings which you can rarely, if ever, do anything about that 1 turn KO one of your dudes. You can abandon them at least, unlike the DD missions which fuck you if you decide to exercise discretion for some retarded reason

Best girl is a tie between Helion and Grave Robber. Helion has the advantage of being really useful. Grave Robber has the advantage of being really cute.

Wilbur should be a qt loli or shota.

I love the art, I love the concept, I love the narration, but I just can't get into it. Every six months I decide to buckle down and restart (because I forgot everything since the last time I tried) and get through each area about 4-7 times and then just lose all motivation.

that'd be substraction

>posted the version without eyes
You're alright user

Can you make a relatively decent party out of GraveRobber, Highwayman and Leper? These are the only heroes I don't have at resolve level 6. Which hero should I add to the last slot? Where would this party be effective? Which trinkets? Or do I need to make 2 parties to get those to level 6?

I'm at the last Darkest Dungeon "Hell is in the Heart". What happens when I kill the last boss? Does immediately start NG+ or can I still play on in this playthrough?

...

...

He's alright, just suffers from a few problems.
>Getting shuffled back he has no skills, has to waste turns to position himself
>He doesn't attack the backrow, which typically holds the enemies you want to die first
>Accuracy is occasionally a problem

NG+ got separated and it's its own difficulty called Stygian (or Bloodmoon if you have CC). You get to continue doing your runthrough.

Grave Robber and Highway Man are good for dance parties, where every hero can adapt to many positions. Leper is strictly only useful in the front ranks, so I'd say it's not a good combination.

Would Someting like OCC/GR/HWM/LEP atleast work somehow? I just want them to get to level 6

New classes fucking ehen? I want my Witch Hunter, Grey Wizard and Paladin.

GR and HWM don't need to dance to be effective. The Leper can function fine in rank 2 allowing the HWM to move back and forth while the GR stays in rank 3 shitting crits with Thrown Dagger.

>Witch Hunter
GR and HWM
>Paladin
Crusader

isnt Vestal pretty much the paladin?

I killed Wilbur first

Cost me two level 3s

Vestal = Cleric, Crusader = Paladin

>GR and HWM don't need to dance to be effective.
Yeah, they can do other stuff.

Vestal is a warrior priest, very big difference.

makes sense.

so yeah Paladins, Clerics, Witchhunters AND Wizards are all covered, what else is there left ?

>tfw no cute and manic pd gf
it's just not fair bros

>want to see some cool art of it
>dont want to use google because it will show the youtube videos

>pic related

Did they ever change any of the Crimson Court shit?

Was finally at the Darkest Dungeon but all my characters having the Crimson Curse now is just fucking annoying, and honestly killed my interest with the game.

>le ebin pixel art xD
But why? The actual art is miles better.

>urge to play rising over the last few weeks
>finally cave in, decide I'll play again tomorrow
>tomorrow arrives
>new DLC announced
>don't want to play until dlc releases

There's some good stuff on Pixiv.

>not showing us what you went on the internet and found today
You absolute pillock.

I want a pure shapeshifter, none of that half-and-half Abomination shit.

>Everyone sitting at a distance from her

God she's perfect

how do i make arbalest useful? every time i want to raise her resolve level she dies because literally everything moves before she does

>additive

Does this aventail look like shit? Asking for a friend

Arbalest is pretty tanky. More like what can your other characters do so she doesn't die before she moves.

Yes it looks really out of place, get petter chainmail texture my dude.

Yeah, it does. Looks like static on a screen.

>not considering occultist top tier besides 0 healing memes
Also bleed stops after lvl 2

Shit, I didn't even notice that. I thought it was just a visual framing device to make the reader know who to look at, but it's in both panels 1 and 3 and she's highlighted against the background anyway.

Do even the other med students think she's weird? Do they just not want to sit next to the always-asking-questions know it all? Does she just have really bad body odor?

Fun side things:
>the guy slouched against the wall next to the stairs in panel 1 is missing in panel 3
>PD writes and grabs with her left hand, but saws with her right and raises her right to ask questions- ambidextrous?

I've been messing around with various new class concept idea and this was one of them, kind of fits your description since its a straight out magic monster rather than a human which can transform.

>Do even the other med students think she's weird
look in panel 5 and you'll know why

>Do even the other med students think she's weird?
Probably. Her crimson court trinket mentions "fools" plural, at the university. I get the feeling the devs. I get the feeling the comic is trying to model her after Herbert West, what with her dissecting her professor.

GR is a great dodge tank.

Did a slight edit for you senpai, darkest dungeon uses really fat shapes for everything and dark colors so I suggest abstaining from white dots.

>other students aren't sure if she nicked the rag from someone (not realizing she took it from the professor) and stay away because she's nuts, or if it's her own handkerchief and she's got the plague herself and stay away because she's stick
Nice.

That's a neat reference I hadn't realized due to not being nearly as well-versed in Lovecraft stuff as the writers probably are. 'course, fools could also just mean the administrative staff who kicked her out double-quick after finding her dissecting/mutilating her professor's still-warm corpse.

> Stack eldritch bonuses
> still does about as much damage as any 3rd string damage dealer with no bonuses.
> constantly fucking witch torchlight.
Dumpster Tier.

Not him but is there no way to make actual chainmail in DD? That looks like scale and I don't think scalemail coilfs were a thing.

>First time Vvulf

Fuck I got reminded but luck was on my side. Hellion was the MVP in that fight

Kill the abomination don't fuck it
