thank you for adding me to the game, i love you bro

In principle, a good class, with cool visuals.
Of the minuses, perhaps, is that it is designed for playing in complete darkness (although some people play in the dark and it’s fine for them), well, it’s not clear what the trinket for riposte is for, it’s useless because -66% damage + -33% for riposte makes the hero a complete mess.

funny old class, silly face in skin 1, ok skills

Man i love this mod, i would prefer this guy be a support but hey, its cool seeing a vampire frontline

Hello. I was able to translate the mod into Russian, but localization did not start. I'm sending you the translation, maybe you can add it to the mod itself. Sincerely your humble translator

Does it has district?

the sprites are really good by the way i'm sorry i didn't make that clear in my first comment, i was just trying to point out in which ways they don't match the game's artstyle

Because

Why is he so tall?!

"total dark" buff for every skill please ...otherwise it's too weak and can only be used for fun.

the problem with his artstyle is that all the characters in this game are the same height except him who is much taller, the lines used to draw him were too thin, and he's overly detailed. the colors are fine and the animations don't need to be changed, just the sprites themselves

'I count slowly, slowly, slowly getting faster, once I start my counting it is really hard to stop!'

-The Count

I tried the class and after many runs with the count i must say a couple of things...
He dosent feel like a frontliner; his ACC is low for such a title, not even mentioning poor DMG (Darkness bonus dosen't count, too situational and affects only 2/7 skills, one of them enabling stun at 0 torch...), he feels more of a support 'damage' dealer.
Artwork is great, I dunno why ppl whine about it in the comments below lmao, his responces are very nice to various situations and his camping skills are strong, disease resist maxed as well as deathblow resist being 69 (I see what you did there).
Overall alright but PLEASE attend to his DMG potential, he's too clunky and most of the time, even if used with synergy, feels like he's the worst.

Cheers!

So, i've played with this guy for a couple of runs. His abilities are alright, and they work as intended, besides when he sets his enemies on fire, i genuinely feel like there needs to be a DOT. Otherwise the monsters being ablaze feels Null. But i believe the biggest issue that i and more than likely many of us have. His art style, i appreciate what you've done with him and how you've attempted to implement this fairly good class. But he needs an overhaul on his art overall. I don't mean to sound like a prude or an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, i'm just giving criticism where it's due in all respectful regards.

Can you make him look younger? or provide a palette that does that?

I love Tanz Der Vampire and I love the Count. Thank you for this great class :)!

Wait, this guy can't be infected by the Crimson Curse? I'm sad now.

@Stomp_Donkey 'Care to elaborate on his kit? I am still very much open to ideas and critism.

great trinkets for him, bad kit, weird looking feet, art doesnt match. overall its a no for me

@aurawu448 The Count is already a vampire can't be infected with a different strain or the crimson curse.

Not sure if the count is supposed to be resistant to disease. Planning to turn the count into a darkspawn with the voivode and blackguard mod to create a no torch team, but voivode's goblet acts as a disease check.

Yes schattenstachel has a tooltip error! Good mod i like it! @Lycan Bill

@NikiGotUrSpine is your copy of DD fully updated, and are you running with all DLCs installed? that usually helps problems like these

There is a blue text error on the steal stealth effect of schattenstachel.

Is there any way I can fix this?

Oh this is sick, I don't know how I didn't find this earlier

@Dr. Henrich Von Freudstein Greetings, sorry to disturb you again. I have translated this mod into Chinese, the following link is the xml file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aPBBXICQfljTxMN7QkjYuChwxe-Fm_C_/view?usp=sharing

Sorry there is one more last thing: The riposte skill has .ignore_protection true. It is a completely armor-piercing skill, but players cannot get to know this. It is highly recommended to write a tooltip for this too.

And one more thing... please forgive my rudeness if I have misunderstood something. The permanent riposte trinket has already -33% riposte damage, so why does the riposte skill definition in the info file has a -30% dmg too?

Anyway thank you for making this great mod, the Count is one of my favourite heroes.

Report a bug (or probably a bug) in the trinket "count_portrait".

There are four damage debuffs defined (count_portrait_dmgh_debuff, count_portrait_dmgl_debuff, count_portrait_dmgh, count_portrait_dmgl) but I found that there are only three used in the trinket. That count_portrait_dmgh_debuff is missing.

Besides, the rule_type of count_portrait_dmgh_debuff is "riposte" while that of count_portrait_dmgl_debuff is "always".

If the true meaning of this permanent riposte trinket is only -66% "Min" damage, but not -66% "Min & Max" damage, then it is suggested to use a tooltip for it too, since RedHook do NOT separate the description of min and max dmg buff. They will be written into one, thus cause players can never get to know the buff only affects the Min DMG but not the Max DMG.

Can you make more dnd curse of Strahd

My Anticipation only Rises now.

Looking forward to what's to come.

Also really like the Hunters idea. I think i know what you're trying to do with them, and it's a great idea.

@GrimRose0: expect more to come.

Would be cool if he had a blood sucker Variant skin.
Trying to complete the asthetic, but I'm missing 1 more to finish a good team.

Really like the eternal, and find her quite useful, but this guy? I'm not sure where he belongs. He doesn't exactly do great damage, and doesn't have much utility other than the "protect the master!" skill. I DO like that ability alot though, can't really justify bringing him over other base vanilla classes. Doesn't benefit from crits whatsoever? The dot ability is underwhelming, don't know why I would choose that over a standard ability that does upfront damage.

The Count has been updated.

im going to run this with my voivode

"The Count and The Warlord"

My bad, I meant his lvl 5 guild skills.

This is probably my fav class mod of yours. I love the romanticized vampire aesthetic, I've been waiting for someone to take on a concept like this for hella long.
I've noticed a few bugs since I started using it:

1. I'm able to buy both his lvl 4 armor & weapon while he is at 4 resolve. His lvl 4 guild skills are also much cheaper than everyone else's. Idk if this is intentional or not, but I noticed this today.
2. His 'Schattenstachel' is def bugged, since the 'steal stealth' does not seem to work, nor stay on him for more than a second.
3. His 'very rare' trinket 'A Poem of Love.' can only be sold for 1,500 gold, unlike other very rare trinkets. Idk if this is intentional, either.

On a personal note, I still think the Count is a little too weak. He doesn't have a reliable attack that lets him deal full damage, & I feel like the damage on his 'bite' (probably his best skill) is underwhelming in terms of damage/health healing. Other than that, love using him! Such a classy guy.

No crit effects?

Report a bug on buff file override.

In the file count_trinket.buffs.json, there is a buff named "STRESSDMG-15", which is +15% stress received percent. But in Redhook's official buff file "base.buffs.json", there is another "STRESSDMG-15", and it is -15% stress received percent. This conflict will cause vanilla heroes that using this buff to be override by your Count.

I have noticed you had wrote "COUNTSTRESSDMG-10" for the Count. So I recommend just change the other two buffs named "STRESSDMG-15" and "STRESSDMG-35" into IDs of "COUNTSTRESSDMG-15" and "COUNTSTRESSDMG-35" (and those in the trinket entry files have to be changed too). Although there is no "STRESSDMG-35" in vanilla files thus no conflict, it is better to change it too, in order to avoid potential risk with other new mods.

Lastly, thank you for making this mod, it is a great work.

I like the mod class. Although, my gripe is with Adelszorn. The fire animation looks unnatural to me. I'd like it a lot better if it looks just like the torch fire animation and if it had a cackling fire sound effect.

Count has been updated
Fixed chinese local
Fixed stealth scaling

Thanks for letting me know I'll add that to the comming update.

Report a bug on localization:
Text within the schinese xml is not that of the Count, but of the Eternal.

@TheRealMe

No.1 Legit that video was fun to watch.

No. 2 Looks like the stealth is lasting longer then it should, it should only last for 3 rds so looks like something on my side.

I love your mods by the way. Hoping that you will keep up the great work!

I can tell. He seems to be made for 0 Torchlight. But still, I thought he wasn't intended to be strong enough to solo entire dungeons by himself. So, I just thought I'd let you know.

https://youtu.be/RuiFEjTbKTU

@TheRealMe that is actually the idea for the character, he is more or less mean to used higher diffculties, and he only ever really becomes powerful until its pitchblack, but which skill is over powered? I'd like to improve him in anyway.

Just saying, but I can reliably solo Bloodmoon Champion Long Dungeons at Pitchblack Torchlight with this mod character. One of his skills is just hilariously overpowered.
