TUR7L3 is full robot. :)

Thanks for the chests. I'm assuming that you don't want to open those till the event actually starts, right?

Though, out of curiosity, what would happen if you did open them before?

The gear exists already in the game on live, so you can open them any time.

It will be visible on TUR7L3 once you recruit him.

But the event will be out in a few minutes anyways as well.

Hi Erika

Thanks for the code.

A small re-request, can you please sort the missions out so that all missions that should be available to you show at once, rather than having to start one mission to get the next to show. This is even more obvious now with the second Ruby missions, which never shows until you start the first.

Many thanks

Hi billyjoe99,

You're welcome for the code.

Thank you for the note about the mission spawning. I'll add it to our notes about the issue and we'll see what happens. :)

What is love? Baby, don't hurt me.

Is there any chance we could get a "sandbox" mode in which we get to use every Crusader at once in a 30+ slot formation? I know it's a long shot, but I'd love to see something like that.

Hahaha, while it's a neat idea, the game is kinda stressed already with some of the 15 slot formations players come up with.

30 Crusaders active at once would be just a hardware test, in how long it would take for your computer to soft-lock the game.

Hi Erika...

would you consider to add main T6 plus 11th objective for all campaigns? I have completed T5 all campaigns including 11th objective. without dungeon seasons and special events, it would make me feel bored and taking break from playing that game beside Main Free Play after got double speed.

Hi Brianp45344,

Tier 6 objectives for the campaigns is something we'd like to add, but today's update is the Carnage Cup.

So you've got the event to work on for now and the season will be back soon. :)

I don't think this is currently an option (if I am mistaken, I would love some direction on how to change this option in game), so I would love for there to be a way to sort missions so that available missions could be placed at the top, rather than ready to complete missions.

I almost always have more than 4 complete missions sitting in my box ready to complete, so it sucks to have to scroll down multiple times to start new missions

Edit: forgot to say thanks for the code! and feel free to take your time starting season 6, a few weeks to catch up on other things is kind of nice.

The list of missions is designed to have the Completed ones first, so you can complete them and get the Crusaders back and get those categories/missions on their cooldowns. There is not currently an option to sort them differently.

Though that was from before players owned all the recipes and had enough Crusaders to keep recipe missions in reserve, or hold on to other missions for a better time to claim them. So we'll add the request to the suggestion list and see what happens.

You're welcome for the code. :)

Nice to see Tiernan's GE on sale, went and bought it.

Wow, the event is nice and early

Thank you for the support! Enjoy Tiernan's GE.

Well, it was ready and we had to push for the Steam sale, so bonus couple hours on the event. :D

Should be Mullog everywhere actually. We'll get the text fixed up for our next update.

BTW, I'm trying level 5 of The Writing Desk (Grimm's Idle Tales) again. I'll let you know if Mogra gets nerfed again at level 1101, and I'll pay close attention to which crusaders move at the transition from 1100 to 1101.

Thanks for the update. Good luck with the objective.

Not sure if this can be implemented or not but there's something like a guarantee rate for Costume for the original gang of crusaders for the golden chest?

Something like get one every 100 or 250 chests. Because I been opening a lot of chest and nothing yet, and not having where to buy them it's making me wonder how hard is going to be getting them.

There is not currently a pity timer on the base 20 Crusader skins, as they are cosmetic-only, and don't offer any tag changes. Plus, sprinting with Ana or Xochitl can result in a lot of Jeweled chests to open in search of them, or if you've got a ruby hoard, you can lighten it a little.

And if you haven't used it yet, you can buy the skin token, if there's a base 20 skin you really want, and buy that skin with the token.

But I'll note down the request for the pity timer and we'll see what happens.

I know this has been asked in the past regarding a "complete all" missions. I have a "moderate step" towards it. Instead of trying for a complete all for every mission, can you just make it for the missions who have a 100% success rate guaranteed? This might be easier for your algorithms. Thank you.

That's an interesting take on it. I'll update our Complete All request item and we'll see what happens. :)

Hi Erika, any plans on making an iOS version?

Hi IanHSC,

We already had a mobile version of the game, which we turned off as it wasn't popular enough to justify maintaining two separate code bases. We don't plan on bringing it back.

Hi Erika. Again, thanks for the Q&A and streams. It's cool to have this dev to audience interaction for comments, questions, and concerns. For real this time. . .

Just some QoL stuff would be super cool, like some speed for challenges (Maybe half Sprint) Improvements to bulk chest opening, mission screen improvements like having all selections available so we can make more well-informed decisions there.

Also the saved forms could display what they are before selecting them. That'd be super nice.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi navilapiano,

You're welcome. Part of Codename's flow is chatting with the community, so we're glad you're enjoying it.

Yup, those items would be super cool. The chest opening one is coming soon! I'll add your votes to the other items.

Cheers!

Would it be possible to tweak Biff the magic rabbit a bit? I love him and his thrown carrot, but he doesn't seem to have much synergy with most of the other crusaders.

What kind of synergy are you looking for? Some other tags, or just some extra abilities other than his carrot?

Hi Erika, great job with the game, it's wasted many hours for me as I'm stuck at home :) Quick question is there a way to add where an info on where the skin comes from in the shop. I just don't want to waste currency on a skin that would be available in an upcoming event for example. Thanks!

Hi Sirson,

We're glad you're enjoying Crusaders. I'll pass it along to the team.

We already generate the tooltip, so it might not be too hard to add where the skin comes from to it. I'll check with Wilson.

Most of the skins come from the event the Crusader was released with, aside from the few that were added as part of skin store updates or weekend promos.

Some players actually like buying the skin in advance of the event starting, as it marks the objective that awards it as completed if you hadn't done it already, and some of those objectives can be tricky depending on your power level.

Hello Erika and everyone,
Thank you for the Code.

I would consider myself as a new player, i'm currently at Worlds Wake Tier4 quest line with 2,5e6 idols. Is there any place where i can learn more about this game. A subreddit with a good table of contents or some kind of forum attached to a wiki? I dont know enough to progress any further and i hope a source of knowledge will help me.

Thank you in advance

Hi MacGuilo,

You're welcome for the code. :)

There's the unofficial discord and there's a fansite that had a good chunk of older formation suggestions posted for the older objectives.

Or you can post on any of the forums/reddit with screenshots as ask for advice as well.

Originally posted by icebergak1949

Wow. I don't know enough about coding, or the game, really, to be able to answer that. I only look at the total synergy added when trying to make formations. So, IDK. Whatever is easiest for your coders, perhaps?

All right, we'll keep the request in mind and see what happens.

Minor QoL suggestion(s):

Make chat (names of people that are currently in the chat room) to be sorted by alphabetical order.

And/Or

Make people that you have muted or reported to have some kind of identification (like color or symbol)

Sometimes I learn through chat that I've muted someone, but I dont know or remember who I muted. I can ask what is the name of the person... but it does take a minute to find the name because of random order in the who is online and in chat section.

Thank you for the requests about chat. I'll note down the votes on on our suggestion list and we'll see what happens.

Is there no golden epic or skin on sale with the event chest for Carnage Cup this time around?

There is a Golden Epic, we just missed setting the date to 10am up from 12pm with the early event start.

If you bought chests before the Golden was available, you can put in a ticket and I can credit the Golden.

Hi Erika,

Thanks for the chests. One thing I find hard to do during challenges or objectives if go through all my crusaders and see who are available for that mission. On top of this, I also have to take into consideration their skins with possible tag change.

Is there anything in the pipeline to streamline that process?

Thanks!

Hi Nerdz,

You're welcome for the chests.

It's come up before, though not recently, for some way to help you know who can be used on an objective, so I'll add your vote to the item on our suggestion list, and make a note about the skin effect as well. I wonder if it would be worth repurposing the ancient gold star effect we used to have for new gear....hmm...

Interesting. The same nerfing happens between level 1200 and level 1201. Wow... It's tough losing your momentum like that.

Thank you for the screenshots.

So if a Crusader is removed from a formation, they are supposed to lose their stacks, but in a case where they're staying in the exact same spot while an escort moves, they probably should keep their stacks. I'll see if Wilson can figure out what needs to be adjusted.

Why has TUR7L3 the healing tag or why does Yaretzi not have it?

Just to make TUR7L3 more interesting, but I may consider going back and adding the Healer tag to the other self-healing Crusaders. We'll see what happens.
