I am super excited to hear that you decided to do another dungeon point buff towards the end of the season. I know it was originally going to just be an anniversary thing, but it is appreciated!

Ooh, runes!

Just to clarify, the giveaway is for this Q&A, right?

Anyways, I'd like to request that the flat e50 DPS reward be changed to more Dungeon Point missions. They're one of the categories that could do with some bonus missions, and it really does help lower-level players.

Did I see in a previous discussion that help was on the way for opening chests? I stopped opening them waiting for this, and they are piling up. Thx.

Hey Erica, thank you for the weekly updates.

Are you aware of the FP Bonus Idol scaling (or lack thereof) after area10,000? Now that we have double FP sprinting and the ability to get to 10,000 quickly, are there plans to improve the way bonus idols scale after this point to make these runs competitive with dungeon idol runs (at least to a point beyond about 1e19)?

Suggestion: Combine the Gold Mission and EP Mission 4th slot runes into one; because they are never active at the same time and they cause the crusaders that have the gold mission version to lagggg in the EP department with the mission's autosorting to try to send lowest EP on mission for EP; it kinda makes everyone lagggg a little.

hi,

can we please get sprint mode for challenges? with the new e3400 dps cap, challenges take so long they become boring.

even if sprint was 50% it's usual distance it would be a great help.

Originally posted by Ezequiel1522

I think someone mentioned that before but seeing how now exist a deeper DPS cap the challenges without sprint mode feel very boring and slow to do.

Can we at least have a talent that increase the chance to skip only in challenges?

Or have the sprint mode unlocked in challenges soon as a 11th objective or a additional talent?

HI Erika,

Thanks for all the new Tier 5 11's. I like the different additions (rewards)!

Hope you have fun plans for the break.

1. this morning only 1 ruby mission, an old one. So they butchered the CD's AGAIN... I've done the 11th maybe 3-4 days ago, can't even remember any more and every day getting 4 ruby missions except today. I am supposed to get 4 ruby missions per day but that's not happening, because of the CD's you've given to the ruby missions and especially to the new ruby missions that were added with the T5 11th. When I did the T5 11th that gives 1 more Ruby slot mission and 5 new Ruby missions, I had to wait more than 10 hours for the new ruby slot and misson to get unlocked/appear... This is NOT FUN...

2. We are supposed to get 4-6 Point missions per day, BUT many days we get only 2: 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. Many times we get 3 point missions per day instead of 4-6. There are 10 Point missions total, so where are they? All or most missions no matter old or new or future ones are bugged and/or made incorrect, so they either are on too long CD and/or bugged. Also most Point missions can't be made 100% or sped with 100%.

3. Only 4 EP missions active... 2 short, 2 long had 2 days ago after I had done the new t5 11th that unlocks new 5 EP slots = 13 EP slots. Where are all the EP missions? If you are adding 5 new EP slots but don't fill them in with EP missions, what's the point? Every day we are losing/missing TONS of EP's because many of the EP missions are on CD and/or bugged, and/or not in the game/none existent...

4. Can you make the power of 2 abilities scale per power of 2 as well instead of giving a base boost? There are some crusaders with it and the scaling isn't good, the bonus/es they provide are very neglidible.

5. Many of the new missions you added recently (Points, Geode, Rune chest) can't be made 100% and/or sped with 100%.6. All or most missions no matter old, new, future are bugged/have issues since years or since the beginning of the missions. Same category missions delay same category missions (for example EP missions delay EP missions: Short and Long, it doesn't matter). Different categories missions delay different categiries missions the Solvent mission was delayed from a short EP mission, etc... All or most missions STACK and get DRAGGED from other missions: they don't spawn/respawn when their CD is over, they wait for all the other same and/or different missions to come out of CD then only 1 spawn/respawn, so you send it and the next one appears under it, you send it, then next one appears, you send it, then next one and so on... which is EXTREMILY PISSING US OFF! We are unable to make ANY plans who to send, when, why, what will be the outcome, etc. which ISN"T FUN! Examples: JC, Rubies, EP's, Idols, Solvent, Points, etc.

6. All or most missions no matter old, new, future are bugged/have issues since years or since the beginning of the missions. Same category missions delay same category missions (for example EP missions delay EP missions: Short and Long, it doesn't matter). Different categories missions delay different categiries missions the Solvent mission was delayed from a short EP mission, etc... All or most missions STACK and get DRAGGED from other missions: they don't spawn/respawn when their CD is over, they wait for all the other same and/or different missions to come out of CD then only 1 spawn/respawn, so you send it and the next one appears under it, you send it, then next one appears, you send it, then next one and so on... which is EXTREMILY PISSING US OFF! We are unable to make ANY plans who to send, when, why, what will be the outcome, etc. which ISN"T FUN! Examples: JC, Rubies, EP's, Idols, Solvent, Points, etc.

7. I have a few R10, 2 R11 and 1 R12 speed runes, but they are very ineficient/Problematic because many of the missions are made with bad/wrong CD, plus the many missions issues (all or most categories). At the moment many of us can have up to 4 point missions per day out of 10 total, but we don't get 4 per day because of their not balanced CD plus the many mission issues (all or most categories). So, we get many times only 2 point missions per day.. In the future these problems will get much bigger (they already are and will be increasing...) because we will have more runes, so we will have R15's, which means we can have 6 point missions per day ON THEORY because on practice their CD isn't balanced at present and to work with the speed runes plus the many mission issues (all or most categories). These problems are for all or most mission categories: JC, Idols, EP's, Rubies, Points, etc.

8. Some rewards from the new T5 11ths aren't good/proper. Locking missions slots, missions and talents behind 11ths ain't a good game mechanic and ain't FUN. I pushed myself to do at least the first 3 T5 11ths because of the EP slots and the Ruby slot and ruby missions, but I and MANY others didn't want to do it because we got much more important stuff to do in game than doing 11ths to unlock missions WHICH don't even work... The last 11th reward is also more missions: a Geode and x2 Rune chests mission, which many of us won't have because you chose to LOCK them behind an 11th instead of adding a BASIC feature as it should normally be added with the other missions and not LOCKED behind an 11th... Also, adding 11ths during Dungeons seasons ISN'T FUN...

9. The new T5 11th that awards e50 DPS isn't adding DPS to all the DPS we have, which means it is USELESS. It is like the 1% DPS that we get from the achievements USELESS...! For a T5 11th we aren't supposed nor expecting such a USELESS reward... Since we REALLY NEED a REAL speed option/s for the Challenges you could have added/you could add Sprint and/or Scaling and/or other form/s of Speed to all the challenges. With the Old cap of e2300 (like 12000 areas) even with full speed which isn't available on all the challenges, takes too long to complete the challenges! A day or so wasted! And now we have even much higher cap e3400 (17700+ areas) wasting a few days to complete the challenges every single challenge! As it is at present this is totally not a good game mechanic and totally NO FUN...

But there should be other alternatives to them in challenges. I was thinking in the skip a phase talent. Have it boosted ONLY in challenges but outside there that increased change wouldn't work.

Hi Erika,

Faster challenges, please, especially now with e3400. Don't just put sprint in, because people will go to 8500 and then bail. Make it that we have fun pushing deeper. How? I'll let you handle that, you're the pro.

Thanks!

Are going to be added new skins for the old style crusaders at least just for make them look well in the modern style? Some crusaders like early Tier 1 still don't have an alternative or reworked art.

Also the original cast of crusaders can have their skins in the skin shop?

Thanks for your attention.

Hi Erika, thank you for the code!

Will the area achievements for the different tier dungeon objectives be "decoupled" from season 5? It would be very annoying to play all this T2 and T3 objectives up to area 20000 just for the achievement within the next weeks... especially when such a nice dungeon point buff is in place ;-).

That may be so, but BCadren is still correct in his observation that EP Rune enabled Crusaders will always outpace non-EP rune in the long run, since EP-runed crusaders always have EP runes, by definition, where this is not the case, obviously for non-EP-rune crusaders. Because of this, as the missions screen is programmed, it will always put EP-rune crusaders off screen, prioritizing the "low EP" crusaders that meet the tag criteria for the EP missions.

 

In the long run you are always "fighting" the mission screen, as the EP-runed crusaders that you want to use are some indeterminate amount of clicking off to the right, as the game keeps pushing the lower-EP non-EP-rune crusaders.

 

This should be familiar to anyone who plays regularly. The mission screen could really use a well thought out redesign. This is obviously not a new issue and has been on the list for years now. BCadren's suggestion to make Gold and EP runes combined would at least mitigate some of the current limitations of the mission screen sorting being counter to how a player would actually want to sort. Or you could fix the sorting to prioritize EP-runed crusaders with the highest 4th-Rune level that meet the tag requirements for EP missions rather than "lowest EP" which is almost always the wrong choice for EP throughput.

For the new chest opening mechanic that will debut next year and you are telling us that if we want to horde chests for it to do so, will it work on any type of chest or only silver chests? I would prefer if it worked for any chests and not just one type.
