over 3 years ago - /u/CNE_Erika - Direct link

Welcome Crusaders!

Before we begin: I hope you're all staying safe and being kind.

For those of you who are joining us for the first time, I'm Erika, the Live Services Manager for Crusaders of the Lost Idols, and I will do my best to answer your Crusaders questions. This Q&A is so you know where to find one of the team to chat Crusaders weekly.

I will be answering questions live for the first hour and then checking back throughout the week.

The previous Q&A: Number 243!

Community Activity!

Torakichi's Hoard is filled with some interesting items this week, especially in the 7 differences sheet! Thank you for all the submissions so far!

Updates:

We're working on Alien Invasion this week.
Garnet's 5th slot rune will be delayed for a bit, because we want it to affect her Warp ability and Wilson wants to take his time making sure that works properly.
The Tier 6 version of The Hidden Temple is currently running and will end next Tuesday, June 22, at Noon Pacific Time.
With just a two day break between them, the Tier 6 version of Alien Invasion Day will launch around Thursday, June 24th, 2021, but may slip to the Friday.
The recipes for the Hidden Temple Crusaders will be available after Noon Pacific Time (UTC-7) on Tuesday, July 6th, 2021.
The Tier 6 version of A Song of Thrones will launch around Thursday, July 15th, 2021.
In case you missed it, we're doing Q&A streams for Crusaders on the CNE Games twitch channel now! The streams are at Thursdays at 10AM Pacific Time (UTC-7.) VODs are available on Twitch and we also post the stream to our Codename youtube playlist eventually.

Good morning! Now that the dungeon season has been running for a bit, have the changes y'all made had the results you hoped for?

Good morning,

Aside from the initial confusion, it's been quiet, so we'll take it as it's working.

Hey there, is there ever going to be a more late game/bigger overall reset system? Along the lines of transcension in Clicker Heroes for example

Hi birdbirdbird,

We don't currently plan on doing a transcendence system ala Clicker Heroes or Realm Grinder at this time, but we try to never say never, so we'll see!

Hi jordan45126,

Nope, no ETA that we can share publicly at this time.

Anything you can report on the progress on Garnet's 5th rune? Really looking forward to this getting released!

Nothing to share at this time about Garnet's 5th slot rune.

x5-x10 legendary leveling when?

and Soon(TM) isn't answer.

Thank you for the votes on both of those items.

Soon is the answer. We don't like giving out dates because there is the possibility of slipping.

Hello, Erika. Hope you're having a good day.

Considering that the revamped rewards for the Dungeons made me a happy Crusader who is looking forward to reap the rewards at a faster rate.

Also, nice choice on the Crusader for this year's Hidden Temple :)

Hi TheKnoticalMenance,

The day is going well so far, thank you for asking. Hope you have a good one too.

Glad you're enjoying the new season and the Hidden Temple Crusader. I'll pass it along to the team!

Hello Erika,

Will there potentially be any other uses for the dungeon vouchers. Currently I have no use for them since I don't need any of the gear the chests provide.

Hi Travkeymaybe,

No, we're not planning on any other uses for Dungeon Vouchers for the foreseeable future.

The chests are still sources of crafting materials, trinkets and time warps though.

we're at a point where two crusaders has been released since garnet has been released, can we at least get a MONTH which we can look forward to at this point?

Sorry, I don't want it to fall victim to yet more date slippage, so I don't feel comfortable giving any teases on the date.

Hi,

Jialong has been ruling the game for a long while now. Any idea if he'll be dethroned?

Hi Darkliandra,

One day he might be. We'll keep trying as we continue to release the new DPS Crusaders.

Is there a reason for all that blank space in dungeon pass rewards lvl 30 onward? its painfull to look at

No, we don't plan on making the Dungeon Crusader's recipes available for the Epic Recipe Tokens at this time. I'll note down the idea was requested though.

Thanks for the chests and pass my thanks on to the team for another great dungeons season, the pass is great and it's well worth going for points on level 3. The only question I had was about Garnet's 5th Rune but I see that's been asked and answered so I will just be patient and wait, I'm sure it'll be worth it when it comes :) Have a great week!!

You're welcome for the chests and season! I'll pass it along to the team.

I hope the players like the rune, though there is probably some false hype from all the waiting.

Have a great week yourself. :)

Erica, hey!

I am very glad that the game continues to develop. What used to be something new is now trite. And that's great. But it's a shame that much of the old is becoming useless. For example, many Tier 1 support crusaders have BushWhacker-enhancing abilities. Nowadays, the combination of the original crusaders and crusaders of the first tier range, where the Bushes Breaker would find its application, is practically not found. As well as the opportunity to combine Montana and the Princess. Will you ever have some free time to clean up the tier 1 crusader abilities?

And as always, thanks for the chest.

PS. As for the birthday of the game, are you also bound by a nondisclosure signature?

Hi dimitrius5naj,

The game will continue to receive updates as long as it makes sense to do so, so we're happy that players are still supporting Crusaders.

The earlier Crusaders still have their niche uses, but we aren't planning on rebalancing the old Crusaders at this point in time.

You're welcome for the chests.

What teases did you want about the anniversary celebration week?

At the moment, this does not mean forever. And it pleases.

I would like to know what will happen in the final of the event. Skin? Taskmaster? Legendary item? Something new?

Redeeming all 7 anniversary codes will trigger an idol buff, like in the past.

And I'm currently planning to have one of the codes award a taskmaster.
