Thank you for the chest code.

Looking forward to the next (final?) batch of 5th runes!

Regarding dungeons to change: I'm not suggesting it change per se, but the one that causes me angst right now is Playing it Old School, as it doesn't have a good location for Mindy (no 2-target slots), which means that I don't activate the Formation Full Up talent. I can still get to 15k on that map, just seems odd/inconvenient to have a slot left open. Maybe it just bothers my OCD more than being a real problem... ;-)

Howdy. Thank you as always for the chests. I would like "Fun & Games" formation changed. In addition, it would be nice for "carrot" rewards to be past level 25. Something meaningful if you want players to do points runs instead of idol runs. Have a good day.

Hi Erica!

If possible, I would like to change the first formation in the Dungeons (Old School). On the one where you could put Mindy Mim normally.

Thanks for the code!

Hi Erika, thanks for code.

This is something that have been mentioned before, but i wonder if a new approach or way to see it works too.

- The idea was to change missions of gold with runes, but you mentioned runes aren't planned to have any changes.

The new idea would be if based on a talent or challenge we could change that gold for a buff instead, it be something more meaningful for a lot of old players and new players can have that choice in a future.

Which dungeon formation(s) should we change for season 4?
- In my opinion, the first one, cause it's the only one that there's no place adjacent to only 2 other places providing mindy to mimic only 2 crusaders.

Also, would it be possible to to add a hotkey to save formations? cause sometimes when we're using saders increasing the rate of drop quest items plus some speed bonus, there's no time to save formations because it switches screens so fast.

There is no question, Fun and Games. I would like the twist for season 4, that F&G goes from worst to best formation with 15 slots, no one would expect that. I would also like to suggest for s4 my suggestion before season 3 (which you said you like the idea), to give small % of chance for 3 highlighted random dungeons to have double proc to have either idols and points, idols and coins or points and coins, and low % of 1 dungeon having all 3 bonuses (something like 1-2%). Also it would be nice to have counter of Garnet's warps for that run (like warped areas counter this run). And last question for you, we have not had 3 skins in skin shop for a while now, any idea when will that happen (or at all)? I have some neat ideas that would give good tags where those tags are needed, or very good thematic ideas. OFC, I don't work for free, but my price is very flexible, low-low price of 10 runic chests would be good start ;)

Very interested in new T6 and T8 talents, mentioned in #leaks channel hoping they will ease the Evil Scheme completion. Any approximate schedule on them?

hi,

with rubies being a limited resource, can you please lower the ruby cost of runic chests?

the ruby shop has runic chests for 300, jeweled chests for 100.

the challenge shop has runic chests for 40, jeweled chests for 20 (3 for 60).

the ruby shop having them at 200 would bring the pricing in line with the challenge shop and make them more affordable to newer players.

Hi Erika

Fun and Games is with ease the worst form we currently have in the meta. So I will vote for that one. I do personally have a hate for Sunday Stroll as well but Fun and Games is currently a lot worse.

Old School is actually in the top 5 best forms right now I believe so please don't listen to the people who want to change it for just a normal Mindy slot .. We put Mindy in a 4 spot for Odlie meta anyway. Premime for the win.

Please change "Fun and Games" and "Dark Dwellers".

No questions today, just wanted to apologize for not sending colouring sheets for a few weeks. I'll try to get my kids to do some this week, though!

Keep up the great work!

Hi Erika,

Thanks for the chests. My personal vote goes to Fun and Games, there's just not enough space, plus there's only one spot in the back column which makes Marzi very sad. Speaking of Marzi, would you ever consider an overall power neutral / minor buff that makes them slightly less reliant on the back column slots? Something like a base value for Tempering Master + bonus % per slot in the back column, so they doesn't get so shut out. Alternatively, being a good candy dragon and all, Tempering Master could instead work with the number of unique tags in the back column, which is something that's more within the player's control than "number of back row slots". Thanks for your time.

• Can't wait for next batch of T8 talents.
• Question: Would it be fun if the dungeon formation should let me see 16 crusaders in formation?

Originally posted by DoctorNovakaine

This is kind of a silly response, if I'm being honest. No one's been demanding a refund for spent rubies if a change goes through, I've never even seen it suggested. It doesn't have to be a retroactive change to be a change.

Originally posted by ryan92084

Definitely Fun and Games for a refresh. It is a consistent under performer both due to the shape and being the only 13 slot dungeon.

I see some don't like Old school for the no Mindy slot but even if you opt for leaving an empty slot and forgoing the Formation Full Up bonus it is still a better form than Fun and Games.

Originally posted by DoctorNovakaine

Fun and Games is definitely the formation that causes the most trouble. Beyond that, it might be worth taking a look-see at Achieve Flight.

Hi!

I vote for Fun and Games to be changed next dungeon.

Thanks for all y'all do!

Alright, one of the complaints I have is about dungeons.

One of the things we need to do is shorten the point spread between goals. It's coming up on 16 days and since dungeon season began. Other than doing event missions and weekly challenges. I have spent all the time there. I am currently at rank 19 and closing up on 20.

This is a bit too much in the hope of being able to complete the entire thing with bonuses in the next 16 days.

I like the idea but the points need to be lowered and allow the end layers more attractive to players to participate in the next season of dungeons.

One suggestion is to elevate or declinate the point totals based on the following criteria.

1) Idols and 2) Legendary Ranks. This would adjust the difficulty and the amounts that are going to be needed to deeply go into the rewards for the next season of dungeons.

May you add a request to have a button that will allow deleting saved formation

So I have been super thankful to the great minds on the crusaders discord/reddit because they enabled me to make it to 15k in each dungeon formation. However, I keep finding myself feeling that, rather than enjoyable, dungeons feel like a chore to me. I don't have enough time in a day (my computer is off at night) to complete 15 runs of the dungeon each week and it leaves me with a strong FOMO feeling. I haven't had time to do any of the new objectives like cursed child, because I don't want to miss out on dungeon levels.

Has the team considered any changes that would allow the devoted players to get the same or higher level of rewards from doing tons of dungeon runs, while allowing players like myself to not feel like we are missing out?

Greetings one and all.

Wrt formation change, I would like to see the second one altered because it is the one that I am unable to break the 5k areas on. I am getting 5,600+ areas on all the others.

What are your thoughts on a talent that would, on the first completion of a boss area give a small chance of converting a silver chest to a rune chest?

I see it as a ten level talent starting at a 0.005% chance going up in increments of the same.

Finally, Thanks for a great game. Long may it continue.

Not with runes, but with the gold missions, since those missions aren't worth much for a lot of us, it was mentioned to change those to reward runes instead, but you said runes aren't planned to have any changes for now, so instead of gold missions rewarding gold, a talent or challenge can convert that reward in a buff, like speed, warp, more drops of idols, things like that.

hi again,

have you had a chance to read gragatrim's posts about runes?

also, can we get a thoogoose skin for thoonoose?

thanks for the chests.

Originally posted by gragatrim

Have you had a chance yet to read either of my 2 posts about runes? Any thoughts you care to share if you have?

Regarding changing any formations, the only thing I'd like is if some of them(looking at you old school) could maybe get a few more areas that require 25 kills instead of picking up 25 items as the quest drops take much longer(can add upwards of 30 minutes to a run to 15k compared to the higher kill zone forms). In terms of the weakest forms, I think fun and games and dark dwellers are probably still on the lower end in terms of power. It's tough to say what will/won't be strong as I'm not sure what DPS requirements we'll be needing for next season.

Anything you are willing to share about the changes for S4? Are we going to be seeing some scaling to make it so that we require a lot more DPS to hit the same target area?

EDIT: Playing it Old School is one of the strongest forms we have, please don't change it's layout at all. Even if you don't want to pre-mime and leave a spot empty in it, it's very strong, and we even have builds that use RR and 3+ mimes that are stable and very very strong.

Hi Erika!

Looking forward to seeing the last runes, Garnet included!

When will you guys be able to lift the veil a bit more on season 4? You spoke about different scalings on stream last week and it sounded really promising!

Originally posted by CNE_Erika

I have had a chance to read your posts on runes.

We've had players with runes over level 10, which led to the e10 DPS increase (mostly) at level 10, push to get the 5th slot runes out there. It's also easier to buff things than nerf things, so I am open to revisiting the rune powers, in smaller batches at a time, now that they're out.

The Dungeons are meant to be the main source of runes, with the weekly sources there for extra and then spending if a player is so inclined. So I am looking at similar, if not more, rune drops for the season 4 rewards.

I guess since we overrode all the quests to be collect/kill 25 versus what is actually required for the campaigns we borrowed the backgrounds from, I can make a note about seeing if we can make it 2/3 kill 1/3 drop or something like that, and we'll see what happens.

Dark Dwellers was just changed for season 3, so I'm not going to change it again so soon. Fun and Games is definitely winning the informal poll for a change.

I am playing around with scaling options for season 4.

I don't plan on changing Old School at this time, no worries there.

A small suggestion due to today's new talent drop: When something that keys off a general total is added, please also add that total to the statistics page.

Originally posted by jordan45126

Hello Erika, I was wondering about the new tier 8 talent Legendary Hoards if it increases DPS for every 5 legendary items level in the formation or for every crusaders owned.
