Talk:Darkest Dungeon Wiki

This wiki is really sparse. I wish we had more info about actual game mechanics formulas. Eg, what is the formula for damage hit chance, how exactly does armor affect damage taken, what are the actual effects of the different named afflictions / (and w/e the opposite of an affliction is called). What is the scouting formula, how is the 'suprise' check calculated, etc etc etc.

Do we really need a Shambler image on a main page? Granted, he looks cool and all, but he was always ment to be a surprise boss, having him here fills like a big spoiler. JustShadowll (talk) 12:09, 19 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hm. This wiki doesn't really have any spoiler policy due to how next to everything would classify as spoiler. The image of the shambler isn't really a spoiler though, as if you have never met it so far you won't be any wiser after looking at its picture either.
 * Plus the dude is pretty photogenic so it would be a shame to not have him as examplary monster, don't you agree? :P

 * He does have a point though: we could put anything but the Shambler and fit the same purpose without potentially ruining a part of the game to anyone. We could put something like the Hag there, or even a transformed Abomination. --itaShadd (talk) 15:33, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I think today's release will have plenty of photogenic eldritch cuties. While by itself image doesn't spoil anything, it can change one's reaction to the first encounter with him from "WTF is this, I had no idea it even existed!" to "meh, seen this guy already". While I'm obviously exaggerating, better be safe that sorry.

 * Alright, we'll pick one after today. Dooomspeaker (talk) 19:14, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I put a nice gargoyle there, after cleaning up the image from the fx and mirroring it. Let me know if you don't like it. --itaShadd (talk) 20:32, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Continuing yesterday's discussion, I think our wiki needs a spoiler tag or at least some kind of warning. The Darkest Dungeon is too awesome to explore for the first time to accidentally spoil it. JustShadowll (talk) 12:22, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
