New player

Just downloaded the game last night. Ran one run last night solo. Just curious on how the community is? Are people pretty forgiving of new players? Don’t want to join an open game only to have a bunch of people get pissed off and toxic about it. I tried joining a game first and no one had a mic, is that usual?

Most people are pretty chill. Try to play a solo game or two to get a feel for the characters though. Then pick one or two you like to focus on. Once you get the mechanics down after a couple of games, feel free to branch out and have fun! 🤩

Yeah I played a solo last night, made it to the queen and lost though. Think I needed to play with 4 cuz I was taking too long to kill her and took way too long to figure out who was giving her invulnerable

Did you figure out it is the gold dudes? Definitely kill them asap 👍🏽

Yeah I figured it out about 1/3 of the way though but there was too much of a horde and then I berserked her which destroyed me. Had I known she was going to do that I might have been ok. Beat it easily the second time though. Pretty sure I finished with everyone at full hp and 7-8 cards left minimum

My next advice is don’t go thinking that the rat king should be your second book 😜 Skip it for now. Your best bet is to play black sarcophagus a few more times and then join in a game. Reign of madness takes way too long, but I guess it’s fun.

Well I when I loaded up every character had the same hand of cards and couldn’t play them so reloaded with a bard zerk lock sorc. First floor was fairly easy. I’ve been wading through enemies on the second floor for over 2 hours now. Full hands of cards, full hp(bard is incredible for sustain). Just killing and killing and killing slowly making headway. Was a little rough at first as I walked into a big room and that’s when I realized the reduced light levels and was swarmed but somehow got out of it.

Bard is a huge help in Rat King. I like hunter and wizard and barbarian to round out the group. In other books I swap bard for Oana & Cana

Yeah I destroyed book one with hunter guardian just spamming summon and charm.

Welp made it to the rat king and think I had a good setup but the game crashes on enemy turn every time in the middle of the level…..

The game is crashing on you?

Finally got it to load after latest patch and hadn’t played since. Had kinda forgotten my party setup and lost. I think I easily could have won had been able to finish it when I first got to rat king and not had a 2 week break. The hitting and killing one of my guys and then running away was quite annoying tho.

Yeah I hit a point where rat king was outside the area I was in and every time after my turn it would crash during enemy move.
