Darkest Dungeon

[AnOminous]

I've been playing Iratus: Lord of the Dead a bit. You might like it if you like DD 1. The combat mechanics are nearly identical, although the game progression is a lot different. Specifically, you only do one combat at a time, but it's considerably more deadly than DD (at least in my current limited experience). Even on easy, it's pretty unforgiving and while your guys can be replaced via a sort of crafting mechanic, if you die too much you more or less die of resource exhaustion and get left behind an eightball where really starting over is your only sensible option.

It's not as good, atmospheric or balanced as DD 1 got after a few years of tuning, but probably worth picking up if it goes on special. Now it's possible this is because of my lack of more experience, but it seems significantly more brutal than DD 1, which you really never actually lose outside of Stygian/Bloodmoon mode.

Didn't think i would have any reason to create a new account due to the Keffals kerfuffle of 2022, but once again i am reminded that trannies can and will ruin every community you enjoy.
Wayne June (VA for the narrator in both games) is getting heat from the official DD discord server and the subreddit after liking a post on twitter relating to being against LGBT faggotry and for posting the following video on his facebook.

Like clockwork the trannies and tranny-adjacent allies are having a full meltdown with reactions ranging from demanding Wayne be reeducated on the struggles of trans issues to outright wanting the devs to sever him from working with Red Hook Studios

There has been no response from the devs as of posting this, but It would be extremely retarded of Red Hook to completely sever all ties with Wayne June all because trannies are upset their hero has a dissenting opinion of their kind, Wayne has been working with the team ever since the kickstarter trailer for the first game back in 2014, His delivery of the dialogue was what put Darkest Dungeon on the map for several players including me. If they go though with this, it would only ignite a burning hatred of der trannoid i've had surfacing for a while thanks to current faggotry.

The Darkest Dungeon fanbase is one of the most unhinged fanbases I have visited. I remember back in 2018 when the biggest modding community, Moonlit Dungeon slowly morphed into a political shitfest after the main dev, Claire de Lune (an actual tranny), bitched about BLM and ACAB on the server. I left the moment that became apparent but on 2020 or so (at least what I have heard), many modders quit because of the massive toxicity and dogpilling certain modders got. From simple criticisms to full blown hate mobs, some of the modders I knew, Carnifex and Dem, left and never updating their mods as a result. The server has seem to become a massive sore thumb to many of the split DD-adjacent discord groups, with most saying "no bringing up of drama". However, this new news have lead the certain discords on fire and some have abstained from playing DD, so much as so to even suggest replacing Wayne's work.

If this results into: either Wayne resigning or him apologizing, then its a death to my hobby for good. I would have said if Red Hook would end up agreeing with Wayne and being based (like that one Factorio dev) but I doubt it after the Unity fiasco occurred.

EDIT: What the fuck, this is too fast. Already a mod exists to remove the Ancestor's face. Also, the details hint the user being a massive smartass.

"It's really a bummer, I looked up to him."

Do these faggots have to have some para social attachment to everything? I can understand liking the performance, but these things have nothing to do with the actors personal life which is often none of anyones business. Normal people don't have to inject their personality and ideals into everything they do. I looked to see if there were steam reviews mentioning "game bad transphobic voice actor", but I don't see a single one. Seems just contained to reddit and that one steam mod that has no attention, red hook would be really wise to just completely ignore this and let it blow over.

Beat me to it, I saw this on the Darkest Dungeon subreddit and was going to sound the alarm that the ancestor is based as hell, apparently.

Some redditors were feigning forgiveness, "give an older conservative nigga a break", but enby pooners were having none of that. Because how dare a voice actor that is likely a baby boomer say "I really don't understand your fashion trend" or quietly disagree about the importance of your non-binary identity?


Based. I have even more reason to love the ancestor now.

To kinda elaborate on this, not only was it just dogpiling but straight up hateboners that people got, one artist got the worst of it, by being accused of racism, scamming and other chuckle fuck stuff. I always remember when they got banned, suddenly Moonlit Dungeon became a circlejerk of airing ones dirty laundry. One of the dumbest fucking things of it was there was two "Heir" mods one was a tranny and the other was just oc character, the creator of the tranny mod apperently harassed the other heir mod, to the point they refused to continue doing anything for the game anymore. Then you get into some of the weirder stuff like how Muscarine and their falling out with Claire. How the Moonlit Dungeon mod died. The community harassing a underage artist, and the usual drama such video game community tend to do, tracing, scamming etc. I remember Carnifex well nice guy, left the community during COVID after his lung collapsed, and realizing making free content for such an ungrateful community made him realize he wasted his life and fucked off.
Edit: Also that modder who made that stupid ancestor statue mod is a tranny beaner and a traitor to their culture.

@The Bigger Scooper I'm guessing from what you are saying

one artist got the worst of it, by being accused of racism, scamming and other chuckle fuck stuff

The one I can clearly remember from this is Von Krolock (responsible for Beastmaster, Claimants, Darkwraith, Bloat and a few others), who from what I can remember, was a magnet of hate and drama by other modders, he rarely speaks due to these accusations. Seemed like a nice guy, the last thing I remember was that people were accusing him for scamming money from SwarmyMormonJesus. I talked to him, he seemed to have given up trying to reason with the current crop of DD modders, (if I had money, I'd commission him for several classes but alas).

One of the dumbest fucking things of it was there was two "Heir" mods one was a tranny and the other was just oc character, the creator of the tranny mod apparently harassed the other heir mod, to the point they refused to continue doing anything for the game anymore.

This is related to the "Eldritch" Heir by Haruspex Rights! and "Rightful" Heir by Snorlaxxo. By what you are saying, the Eldritch one (the one with the buggy survivalist camping skill UI) got harassed given that he does not do DD mods anymore, whereas Snorlaxxo is still doing modding. Correct me if I am wrong

I remember Carnifex well nice guy, left the community during COVID after his lung collapsed, and realizing making free content for such an ungrateful community made him realize he wasted his life and fucked off.

I always play with Herbs of the Wild, Darkest Souls, the Sunlight Warrior, Riftwatcher and Order of Sunlight mods to honor him. I did not know he had a collapsed lung. This is depressing.

Also that modder who made that stupid ancestor statue mod is a tranny beaner and a traitor to their culture.

Its a real shame. His Sniper mod is well made but the modders are pretty retarded. The one responsible for the 2B, Wizard and Vermintide Mod, ShallowIris, had constant fights after he (its a tranny) got doxxed by an equally retarded modder, going by the name of Kaze (yes, the Chinese have also infested the workshop, whoop-de-fucking-do), who does Patreon-restricted mods, but has shit art-design and balance. I love the mods, but my fucking goodness I hate the modders in question.

Smarmy probs got it worst, apparently one of artists them made a meme video leaking photos of a car accident the where in. Kaxen was the person who actually created the "Rightful" Heir and Snor simply did the coding, apparently they are self hating Pole. Von Krolock got it bad too, but he simply just decided to move on with their life as anybody should. Like Sasiji one of the best coders of the game was banned from MILD because he refused to let Claire stop him from helping people, which caused him to consider Sasiji a alt-righter.

>Smarmy
Fuck that has to be depressing. That was the accident people were claiming Von Krolock to have "scammed" him from.
>Kaxen
Most of his contributions seems to be on art and animation. For context: Snorlaxxo's real contributions are Blazing Lord, Dild, Iron Man, Curator, Rightful Heir (male version), Land Dweller and Vanilla version of Dredge and Judicator (Judicator sucks ass on vanilla though). Kaxen's only one I can consider his true mod is the female version of Heir, and the comic truly speaks for itself.
>Sasiji
Has a lot to say regarding some mods and especially Red Hook because he knows the ins and outs of the engine. Even has some spicy opinions against Black Reliquary and the "shortcuts" they have to code due to the original game engine's spaghetti code. He's usually the go-to-guy for knowing how to mod DD since he knows how the engine works.

Speaking of trannies, did you know that the Miscreant class was based on the guy who created the class to be a tranny?

Miscreant is a tranny? jesus. Yeah Smarmy last I talked to him went through a downward spiral. I presume Sasiji isn't a fan of Black Reliquary?

 

[WULULULULU]

For Miscreant, the author's idea was that originally she was an OC character, a guy that changed his sex into that of a woman, 19-20 years old. So in a sense, Miscreant is a girl but it was originally a guy, hence no dick, but the author is a tranny. As for Sasiji, he isn't a fan of most of the workshop and more often than not criticizes everything, old and new mods, not just exclusive to Black Reliquary, he even shits on DD2 and Red Hook in general.

Jesus Christ the DD modding clique is gay. I've dabbled with mods for years but had no idea everyone hates everyone and they're all trannies. My hopes for DD1 remade in DD2 are gone almost as quickly as they formed.

Oh god, most of the deranged motherfuckers are on that mod. The project called Project: Iron Crown.

I've dabbled into DD modding for a very long while. Way fucking back when Colors of Madness was released. I was naive when I joined Moonlit Dungeon but in some sense I saw a veil that would soon be the knowledge I know of right now. I still miss Carni and Dem. They had balance issues sure but they had ambition and were simple folk who loved the game. Wish I could get enough money to commission Von Krolock, assuming he still does DD modding anyway.

And you know the worst part? Darkest Dungeon isn't even the worst when it comes to modding communities.

Wayne June also does audiobooks for some of the lovecraft novels. You should check them out; you can see where the inspiration for the Ancestor came from.

Well thats more of DD2 in DD1. What do you mean the most derranged people?

 

[Jaimas]

Okay, noob questions:

1. What do I do when I run out of money, and quests are too steep for fresh recruits to get more?

The most important advice for cash in DD1 is to know where you can save money.

Most of the time when you run out of money in DD, it's going to be either you recovering from some bullshit or going all-in on upgrading. There's fucking weird rich-get-richer scenario going on with the way buildings work where the more upgraded they are, generally the less of a problem they are. The first and most obvious way to get money is to not overspend in the first place, so taking the barebones minimum for a run can often be helpful. I tend to stick to a very straightforward minimum that many players consider too generous (8 torches/food and 2 shovels for small maps, 12 and 3 for medium, 16 and 4 for large), but there's a reason for it.

The problem is that having more supplies than you need may cost you some gold, but not having those same supplies can fuck up an entire run. Ask anyone who's run into more barricades than they have Shovels for, and they'll tell you how one single lacked shovel can fuck up a run that otherwise went flawlessly up to that point. You always want to carry one key so that if you find a treasure room you are walking away with at least 10000 gold.

Something that can help a lot is knowing the maps. Warrens are fucking profuse with food if you bring herbs so carrying less than a full allotment of food is often a good idea. Bringing Herbs on runs to the Cove can flat-out let you skip stays in the Sanitarium, because coral lets you shed negative quirks.

The most important early cash generator is simply having an Antiquarian. She sucks in combat but have her open cabinets and do your treasure searching and she'll find goodies that only exist to be sold and because she also increases how much gold you carry, she can pay for herself if properly supported. Just bear in mind she has some utility but she sucks at dealing damage. She'll keep a teammate off Death's Door, she'll help wear down enemies, you'll fucking wish her buffs were anywhere near as good as their versions in Butcher's Circus, but she can still be quite handy even if she rarely does anything spectacular beyond help you earn money.

Once you're completely bingo on Cash, that's when shit gets sour. Selling Trinkets is the obvious work-around, since that can finance runs, but when this isn't an option your options are limited. If you're early on, saying "fuck it" and restarting is an option, but assuming you want to salvage this, the best you can do a minimal-supply run to a small map and hope for the best. Just be advised it will be difficult due to the fading light levels unless you have a party that can actually build light (Arbalest/Vestal/Crusader for instance) and that failed hunger checks or roadblocks without shovels will fuck you in the ass.

Also never do this in Cove. You have been warned.

 

[WULULULULU]

Well thats more of DD2 in DD1. What do you mean the most deranged people?

I'm talking about where the trannies that pollute the Steam Workshop

Also never do this in Cove. You have been warned.

Sounds like the general strategy for Stygian/Bloodmoon runs. In fact, you should never go to Cove on the highest difficulty. The fucking fish will fillet your heroes faster than a Vestal singing a psalm to save a teammate. Modded runs are no better. I believe in terms of modded enemies, Cove and Warrens are the ones with the highest variety and the highest chance of getting your heroes dead.

Oh and it needs to be said but expect crashes during the Sunken Crew boss fight. It is the most notorious boss for being extremely buggy and extremely exploitable on vanilla.

Dude, if you look at the Nexus mod page for DD1, it's 90% hentai/porn mods. It's so depressing 'cause I was excited for some genuine QoL mods, maybe the intergration of relationship systems, new dialogue, enemies.

It doesn't surprise me that the fanbase is full of degenerates. They probably literally play the game to get off. Autists can't help but form an unholy attachment to 2D characters.

Almost every modding scene is like this, especially if it is centralized on a Discord.

Usually they insist on integrating Touhou, Pokemon, Digimon, anything other than what would actually fit the game they're supposedly fans of.
