There's also no indicator that there is a mandatory boss creature in that first Courtyard quest, either. And oh, since the monsters in the Courtyard are the primary sources of the Crimson Curse, every single one of those failures applied more and more strategic pressure. Second, the last of the three insect sources is placed behind a fairly difficult boss monster-I tried and failed to defeat it multiple times, in the same increasingly boring dungeon, every time. First of all, it takes place in a fairly long, pre-set dungeon. Bizarrely, however, the first Courtyard quest is neither random nor easy. The quest itself seems simple-find and destroy three sources of the insects, which makes it look like one of the random and usually easy quests that players will have seen across the rest of the game. A few weeks into a new campaign, players will get a notification saying that strange bugs are bothering the town, that their stress-relieving skills are slightly less effective, and they'll get a quest to go the Courtyard to fix it. The last of the three insect sources is placed behind a fairly difficult boss monster.īut the bigger issue is how the new content for The Crimson Court is introduced, which is antithetical to what Darkest Dungeon does, and also bad for players who want to see the new stuff. They just have to fight and hope and occasionally decide which of their favorite characters gets to live or die-unless the drop rate is increased to the point where it doesn't matter, in which case, it doesn't matter.
First, if blood is necessary for survival, and blood is a totally random drop, there's no way for players to plan around it.
While that aspect of the game can certainly stand improvement, even if it gets better there are still major issues with the decision, even beyond the conceptual change I described above. There's been a notable backlash to The Crimson Court due to the especially stingy drop rates on blood-in two days, not one but two patches increased those rates.
