"Town is Abuzz"?

[Rizilliant]

Ive had the Town Crier saying this for several weeks, which reduces stress reduction in town.. Something about opening a tomb that released bugs.. But I had only down one area at that point, and have now finished the 1st boss in it.. How the F*& do I make it stop? My entire roster is slowly maxing out, and its been like this since Day 1! Its the ONLY tihng hes saying!

Doing that will however make a lot of... Other things more interesting. ^^

Only do this if you have level twos with level two gear and equipment.

Also put more people in stress relieving buildings

I just started trying it.. First fight, my entire party has blood curse... Wonderful..

Thanx guys!

Yeah, the Crimson Curse can be a real kick in the nads early on. Later on, with the right Trinkets and a reliable supply of The Blood, it can actually be somewhat advantageous! But yeah, the Crimson Court definitely makes the early game harder.

You might want to consider some mods, actually. There's one for reducing the Curse's infection-odds, both from enemy hits and from sharing buildings, and another that reduces the negative impact of the Curse to make it marginally more beneficial.

You'll get an easy mission that allows you to pick up large quantities of The Blood per run (12-16) so it's unlikely to be a problem as long as you take some of the infected with you to prevent too many new infections.

Also your whole crew shouldn't be maxing out on stress if you're putting them in de-stress buildings regularly. Don't forget to upgrade the buildings when you can to increase the slots and use stress healers when needed.

I have been getting blood drops pretty regularly from the beginning.. I think it was week 8-10 when I finally tried the first Crimson mission, that gives some invitation as a reward.

I am upgrading the buildings (havent played in some months, so it takes som getting used too) but man! The stress I was recieving was outrageous! In a single fight, I was getting hit with 10-20 stress on multiple characters at once! I try to prioritize those back rows, I know they put out alot of stress, but I never did play long enought o learn the best group makeups, or which areas have which status effetcs.. Hell, I still dont even know which curios to use which items on (I like to find out myself, as opposed to reading guidesa or watching videos.. Thats much of the enjoyment for me personally).

I had to goto work when you guys initially answered this, So IU havent finished the mission yet.. Hopefully, thatll fix this "Town abuzz" thing.. Time to go and vote now though..

This is one of those reasons I personally prefer to activate the Crimson Court quests around week twenty five or even later. I like getting town events here and I don't want to feel pressured to start the Courtyard until I feel like it. Especially because of the way it affects all the other regions.

[Rizilliant]

But thats just it.. This began after my first mission.. I didnt know what caused it. I didnt even try any dlc stuff, until someone here told me thats how I get rid of it.

I just bought all the DLC, so I wasnt sure if it was one of the other ones, or if it happened after entering the Ruins, or what. Maybe it was in vanilla, and I just never experienced it? I didnt know, but I wanted it gone, lol

Could you just upload a screenshot of the mission selection screen real quick, with the crimson court mission selected?

[Rizilliant]

Im actually in the first crimson court mission now.. The one that gives an invitation as a reward

The very first? The rather short one? Because if that's the case, that's the problem.

To quote the wiki:
"The Town is Abuzz!

Only triggers if the quest "Burn the Hives" is not completed after it becomes available. This event will keep repeating unless a priority event occurs (such as Blood Scourge) or "Burn the Hives" is completed."

[Rizilliant]

Thank you.. Thats what SNaroplord indicated as well, so I went for it.. But had to leave for work right after I began the mission..

I appreciate the responses

To be fair there is a warning when you activate the crimson court now but you might have activated it before the warning was added

[Rizilliant]

Yes it did warn.. I just deleted and started a new campaign.. It seems like just having it installed, event happens regardless.. I got the same one again, in week 5 this time.. So it looks like I just need to turn ity off entirely.. Kinda sucks.

On a side note, I took a crack at the newer dlc.. It seems to have thrown everything I liked about DD out the window.. Just one long horde mode fight.
