The XP required to level has been reduced in the last update. A lot.

And now I'm that much closer to purchasing. So far all I've read and seen imply I would enjoy the game quite a bit if it weren't for the grind. I'm still a bit suspicious due to no loss condition, since I quite enjoy unmodded XCOM/FTL/Invisible Inc style campaigns where I can win or lose in a reasonable amount of time and then start over again.

It summons the whole group. So, yeah, kill the lighter every turn. Make sure you kill it before it gets a turn after the Cannon dies, too - it's got a nasty attack.

Shovels can be annoying, but on the plus side if you find you're not seeing many walls, there are often curios you can use them on to prevent them from hurting you. Graves in the Weald are a favorite - often jam-packed with loot.

are you fucking serious

How do people not know? 
You can use various items, like the medicinal herbs(or was it antivenom?) on piles of meat in the blight dungeon.  Holy water on unholy/corrupted looking things and bookcases.  Bandages on sharp-ish looking things.

I havn't loaded this game up in a long time...

I know all that, I just didn't know all of them because some aren't very intuitive. I had no idea shovels could be used the same way, or the bookcases, or bandages.

You had no idea? Thats like specifically in the tutorial!

Anyway, i LOVE the new quotes. I had a bounty hunter once say: "Its like that time in the weald.... except without all the spiders." I burst out laughing. Also

 Final boss fight: When that thing used Come onto my maker, i chose my Hellion to go because she was just like "Fine den, ive beated everything else up, lets got to hell. AAAAYIKRAAAAA!!!" Always remember.

I leveled two parties to max, and apparently after you finish the darkest dungeon first time, the party will not go there anymore. And there are 4 stages so now i need to level 2 more parties to max level. Unnecessary grind, that I will not do.

Wait so you do it once and your party is like "No anywhere but there! I won't go!"?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yea. They can do other dungeons but the other stages of the darkest one they will not, so you need to have 3 more high level parties to finish the dungeon.

^ Uh, this sounds...weird. What is the logic behind this?
The devs must be former Blizzard employees...they always liked to force the player to grind in WoW.

"Never Again". Storywise it's too terrifying to face more than once. Mechanically it might be there to stop you from just getting one super team and playing the entire game with it.

Not that I necessarily agree with it.

Seems in keeping with their "No you play the game our way" philosophy.

I really hope modding is possible for the game. There are so many design decisions, so many pointless hardcore restrictions, that actively diminish my enjoyment of the game.

[Cthulhu]

Just got the collector on a champion run. 

Fucking bullshit, dude.  Lost a level 6 occultist.

It was going so well up to that point too.  I've still only managed to win a single short champion run, really not sure how the hell I'm supposed to do these considering everything's stats are all up to fuck and they crit every turn for 30 damage.

So, everyone, whos your favorite class? Mines bounty hunters. Decent dodge, great accuracy, they can knockback, stun, and bleed, and they have a greater damage output then a leper usually.

The setting, overall theme, art and sounds, and the narrator are the highlights of DD for me.

That being said, it's a shame that the core of gameplay relies on you being able to withstand grind and punishment thrown at you in big fuck-you chunks. I enjoy a challenge, but I guess I've never realized that some PC games are a masochist's domain.

THAT being said, I've had my third team exterminated. I'm going back in. I'm gonna DO this motherfucker.

[LordPorkins]

DD is like the Drak side of the Force. Use your anger to obtain power!

A moder looked at it to see if they can change the limit, but it looks like it's hard coded in the game. This is the only real problem I have with the game, and most of the changes (corpses, stun and similar) made the game better.

[lordcooper]

I don't like how enemy attacks do damage to my guys.  Stress has got to go too.

1/10 for your shit post.
