hi,

with runes becoming an important part of formations, have you thought about adding a talent or 11th objective that increases the number you get from a rune chest? even 1 extra rune per chest would be a welcome increase.

Hi Halaberd85,

Runes are meant to be a slow-growing mechanic, so we're not currently planning on adding a talent like that, but I'll note down the request.

Will there be a gap again between the end of Dungeon season 3 and Dungeon season 4?

Yes, there will be a gap. We don't want to release season 4 while Gardeners is running.

Hey Erika,

Thanks to all of you for fixing the Nat/Nat bug.

Hi Cassius,

I'll pass it along to Wilson. Cheers!

What does “delayed for a bit” mean in practice? After the season ends?

I don't currently have an ETA. It depends on when we can squeeze it in between the next few updates and the bug fixes.

I'll have a chat with Wilson about it once we get Gardeners out the door.

Really really digging the last batch of runes. Anything you want to share about how S4 of dungeons are looking, or about what the next T6 crusader is going to do?

Really digging the new Legendary Hoards talent, but with it I realized that there is now a real need to get more legendary gear as quickly as possible. Any plans on giving us another way to maybe purchase free legendary crafting tokens with dungeon coins or something?

Glad the runes have been fun. :)

I've currently spec'ed in some extra rune rewards past level 25 for the dungeon rewards for season 4.

The Gardeners Tier 6, in addition to being Flora, is also a Speedster.

Free crafts will only ever be from disenchanting a legendary item. They won't be items we sell for tokens.

When we can combine multiple runes at same time? Atm combining 100 lvl 1 runes to lvl 2s takes next to eternity.

I had thought we'd be able to do it with the launch of season 4, but Garnet's Warp ability ate into our tech buffer. So it's currently scheduled in the update queue for after season 4.

Hi Erika,

Hope you are doing well.

I was curious if there will be other items that will be added to the dungeons shop. Currently, there is only the idol buff that has any value but it is super cheap and lasts an entire week. I am currently sitting on 15k dungeon tokens that are mostly just collecting dust. Would love some new skins or UI skins or just anything cosmetic.

Hi isawbones,

Doing OK, thank you for asking. I hope you and yours as doing well too.

That's quite the token stash, but aside from picking up missed season items, nothing else planned for Dungeon coins at this time.

Hi Erika,

Can you provide another way to earn dungeon currency when the dungeons are gone? Maybe though missions.

Can you offer a currency converter for dungeon coins, challenge coins, catalysts, rubies and materials?

Hi skg,

Dungeon coins are dungeon-only. Otherwise they would be misnamed.

We don't plan on having a currency converter either. I'll note down your votes for both requests though.

I hope you reconsider buffing 5ths from follwing crusaders:
-Adina could be useful when it buffs Hero League
-Langley deserves his propagation buffed. I have his 5th at level 5 and I will never bother upgrading that again..
-Mindy does deserve a better scaling. I have it at level 10 now but that so not worth it..

Mycall and Bruno are examples of excellent buffs and scaling.
I wish every crusader 5th buffed his best skills and with reasonable scaling.
Thx.

Thank you for the feedback on the 5th slot runes. We'll keep it in mind when we take our revisit pass.

With the new talent [Legendary Hoards], are there any plans to add some sort of catchup to crafting legendary pieces? The maximum decay of catalyst cost, along with the cost growth puts newer or newish players fairly far behind.

No, no plans to add a catch-up for making Legendary items.

It is based on total levels, not legendary items, so if you have the materials you can level up items higher while waiting to craft ones for catalysts.

There is also the loophole we've never closed, where if you buy the Golden Legendary version of an item from the Challenge Token store, you still get the free craft token, same as buying a Golden Legendary item for real money.

  1. At the moment it is possible to save 5 patterns. Is it possible to increase this amount, e.g. to 7?
  2. It would be nice if you could give your names to each saved formation
  3. Is it possible to add a button to the full screen, e.g. next to the auto progress button?

1 & 2) I'll add your votes to the items on the saved formation improvements suggestion and we'll see what happens.

3) The F key on your keyboard toggles full screen mode on, if you really want to play in full screen for some reason, with Esc returning the game to normal size. I don't see us adding a separate button to the play screen for toggling it, but I'll note down the request.

Hi Erika,

Can you rename dungeon currency to universal currency? :p

Haha, nice try. :)

Is there any chance that opening 100,000 silver chests could be made to be less clicky?

I don't care if it takes longer in time, but I don't want to have to click 1,000 times over 30 minutes.

I also don't care about knowing what items were disenchanted.

Not in our plans to open more than 100 chests at once currently, but I'll add your vote.

Of course, Erika's other reply to something like this indicates that there is another way:

  • Buy Golden Legendary items, for $$$ or for Challenge coins.

If you want these, be sure to buy Golden Legendary items and not Golden Epic items.

Buying Golden Epic items gets you Epic material, or at least it did the last time I did it.

A Golden Epic replaces an Epic piece of gear, so yes, it gives the materials for a duplicate Epic on purchase.

Hi Erika and all,

It seems to me that we need a bit more of a sandbox mode. We have a partial sandbox in the Talent screen, though we don't get to see a preview of the DPS that confirming changes would have. I don't want the active DPS to change, but a second calculation of the formations DPS to be displayed on the Talent screen would be nice.

Then we could do with a sandbox effect on the Rune screen. On the Crafting screen?

I am also inclined to think that more than a few players would enjoy being able to experiment with all aspects of the game with a mode where they could set values of aspects of the game to any value they want and spawn or destroy material, runes or geodes to see what effect things have in different amounts and deployments.

This would be something that the CNE validation team should already have and, were players given access to it, it would be kept separate from the real game progression that we know now.

Hi tl93,

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll add your vote to the item on our list and we'll see what happens.

Hello erika,

A few suggestions with the latest batch of 5th slot runes I've noticed I've been wanting a lot of the 5th slots unlocked for the challenges especially but given how we only get one a week would it be possible to maybe have another mission for a geode so we can move a tiny bit faster there. I'd ask the same for the rune solvent i love using it for challenges but i end up going through my rune solvents way too fast. Also when runes first came out i feel like some of us didn't expect the runes to be so rare would it be possible to maybe get a rune remover that would only maybe come once a year that could remove all slotted runes

Another suggestion is with the new talents released legendary levels have gone up on all crusaders the issue is now trying to recall what crusaders have extra levels such as a level 11 etc could we get an toggle to have the crusaders with the highest single legendary item levels listed first ?

Hi Travkeymaybe,

We're happy with the current cadence of the Arcane Geodes for now. While players may be playing catch-up right now, there will be a point where they're flush with Geodes.

That said, there will be Geodes available from both reward tracks in the dungeons again for season 4, as well as the solvents.

A remove all runes from everyone potion would have to be super carefully worded, but I'll add the suggestion to our list to consider.

We can look at adding more filters to the crafting screen for the Crusader list.

How about S4 dungeon that would have ultimate challenge for players with e5000 dps or more?

We might do that.
