So, I managed to train a slave but I can't sell it, and it's pretty annoying. I intended to sell her in the Gamira residences as a witch doctor. So I raised her to C+ (I wanted B+, but after some time in C+ the game suddenly told me it was capped to C+ because she wasn't beautiful enough, pretty annoying that I learned it so late and forced me to reload an earlier save), with S+ in nursing, witchcraft and athletics, I can raise her style to A+ with clothes and the full beauty treatment (though it doesn't seem to matter above B+). Despite all this, nobody wants her. The people wanting a witch doctor tells me she doesn't have the requirement, when she's so skilled she could cure cancer. Even the medical center wanting D- slaves don't want her for some reason (they just tell me they don't like her though). I try to sell her elsewhere, but nobody wants her. I can only sell her at the auction for only 140$ (and I think that's the price I bought her for...) or to the dude buying untrained slave for 750$. But it doesn't cover my cost and it's especially annoying to be unable to sell her when it seems she's well above what's required by everyone.

Think witchdoctor is Alchemist and Nursing. I could be wrong, and you'd think its obviously witchcraft and nursing, but its been alchemy and nursing on the wiki for awhile.
What are S++ skills? I just became an S+ steward but had my livery on and it gave me an extra level so I'm now S++.
Can I teach S++ to my assistant and have an uber assistant beyond worldly limits?

Witch Doctor is Nursing + Alchemy + Wizardry, you can check on your assistant and bottom center will tell you if the slave qualifies for the specialization.
Also any slave even a F- can become a Witch Doctor but unless you accompany with the rest of the skills then the slave would be a F- specialized Witch Doctor
I don't have an assistant. Pretty annoying that it's the only way to know this... Do you have a link to the wiki, so I can avoid more surprise like this?

I believe that's just a livery bonus and you cannot pass it on, otherwise there'd be no limit for the pluses and by S++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ you'd be training the girls to max skill in one average session.
Thanks, but you sure this is up to date? The page was last updated in 2017. Also it mentions enchanting but it's not a thing in the game and it doesn't say alchemy is a requirement.

You dont need an assistant to see the "Specialization Requirements" ... click on your slaver picture -> then the second tab "Objectives" -> and then click on "Specialization Requirements" ... have fun
Thanks. Btw, while searching, I found some old comments saying that you can only ask once to sell a slave to a specific dude, and if the slave failed to meet the requirement he would refuse this slave forever afterward. This feature has been removed, right?You dont need an assistant to see the "Specialization Requirements" ... click on your slaver picture -> then the second tab "Objectives" -> and then click on "Specialization Requirements" ... have fun
Nope, happened to me recently they just respond with something along the lines of "NO MEANS NO!" and close the conversation window
Lmao, it seems annoying. Well, I'll quicksave before going to see anyone then. Thanks again.

There's a change you might be biased. You probably had a max stat slaver where you left previous versions. Or apply strategies from outdated guides which were all about exploiting the game mechanics to opimize the time you spend. Think of 2.2 as picking up Sekiro after beating up all 3 Dark Souls, you'll fail at first but then there's a steep progression.
The evidence of that is that we've kept the first "thresholds" of obedience roughly the same. It's even arguably easier than before to first get obeyed (minus the previously almost garanteed fitness lesson).
Maybe you still disagree, in that case I invite you to be precise and describe the difference between your playthrough and what you'd have expected instead of what's happening. (please also provide screenshots of your slave's aura screen+attributes before she disobeys something you think she shouldn't).
The thing is they might come from "Ireland"; a lot of us were educated with values of non-servitude. Of death before dishonor. And a lot of slaves in-game might not have seen the outside world enough to think she doesn't have a chance at surviving outside.
But that's not even the point. Human beings are not immediately rational. They were abducted by a non-vampire guy, they'll not immediately think: "oh okay that's better, I'll obey his orders". No, they'll probably find solutions, like cutting their hair to be unsellable and hope the slaver will live her be, etc. Unless you can make the slave aware that obeying = in her interest, which is exactly the point of the awareness stat in the aura.
I demonstrated you can get the slave to obey a command from day 1 with only two actions. I personally tried to ensure that the game's normal difficulty would not be made significantly easier nor harder than before, to keep the legacy intact. But sure we removed exploits and some OP mechanics, and a byproduct of logical changes is that some of the previous working strategies are not viable anymore and it's time to adapt to the new meta (which is in theory more balanced, more instinctive, leads to more possible strategies, and is more rewarding).
One advice I have is to get the slave out of depression into a calm or happy state. Then try to get to -5 obedience (seeable in the aura) leading to a lot of actions to be obeyed by then.
You can successfully punish slaves in the beginning without beating the shit out of them. You have your method of training and it involves getting your slaves beaten up, some players have other methods with different perks and drawbacks. You're free to keep doing it or try other approaches.
The idea of makeup covering the body bruises is interesting. We could make that happen, but in turn it would lower your reputation after a few days when the client discovered that you just hid the visual flaws of a good with a bit of paint and glue. In turn, it wouldn't be a viable strategy on the long term.
But if you give your slave the reward of resting, it helps with the recovery of her bruises (that's new in 2.2).
I totally agree that it's annoying ^^ But when debating about removing it... it seemed like betraying a legacy, so we didn't feel like it. But it can still be up to debate. In the original lore, the clients are super picky and annoying, that's told time and time again in-game. That's up to the slaver to be successful in this ultra competitive world.
We've still made it easier, for exemple, in all previous version, the charm check would make the slave be refused... Even if the client required a D+ slave, the slave needed to have B+ style and some exoticism and model-like physique, ugh'. We've made the charm check rank correspond to the general rank requirement.

Thanks for this. Everything is more or less working way better then when I was running it through wine. Strangely enough though, the sound is out which is weird because it worked fine within the menu for the Proof of Concept build you had available earlier. I will say that I am running it on Manjaro as opposed to Ubuntu so maybe I’m running into some kind of conflict there. Regardless I’ll happily take no sound with good performance over no sound with terrible performance any day of the week.
Wish you guys would add more endgame items, does anyone know if they're HF items or vanilla items? I remember the bull ring giving infinite energy I'm yet to get it but IIRC there were just 4 items.
I mean maybe a couple more ways to obtain unique items like an enchanted noble attire that gives those boosts but without penalties and stuff like that

There is a weapon and an armor you can earn end-game.Wish you guys would add more endgame items, does anyone know if they're HF items or vanilla items? I remember the bull ring giving infinite energy I'm yet to get it but IIRC there were just 4 items.

And we gave them pictures in 2.2
