Good morning! I have two questions today:

1. Who is your favorite T6 crusader to date?
2. What's the biggest "surprisingly popular" crusader for you and the team?

Hi Erika,

Thanks for the code, just one quick request, you can get three rune chests from both sets of coins but only two from rubies, could that be moved up to three as well.

Hi Erika. Hope you all are well.

Is there a timelapse about season 4, and how are the scratch of ideas going?

Maybe is too soon, but better early than later. For Emo's New Moon Tier 7 I hope you can consider a crusader based in the tale of La Llorona, a latinamerican tale about a woman that mourns the loss of her children and crys a lot, hence the name La Llorona (The Crying Woman)

Is Special Webbing behaving like it's supposed to or is the web targeting issue something that needs to be debugged?

is there valid reason to deny search for simon achievements from new players? no need for it to have any ties what happened with yogscast. remove saders and all references about it if it's problematic.

Hi there.

One question: Would it be possible to add a mode which speeds up the animations when returning completed missions? At the beginning the animations were nice, but after a few thousand missions they only delay...
Something like opening 10 boxes at once would be great, with only a short table of the outcome of the missions.

All the best for you,
tarque

Hi Erika,

I noticed that Song of Thrones is not listed on the event calendar, but was early Summer before. Do you have it slotted after Alien Invasion? Like July/August?

Hi, if you save-over an existing formation you've already saved before previously, could a visual indicator be added which shows what you've done? Could be as simple as having the box flash a different color for a few seconds.

Are meta transforming saders a feature or a bug? Do the devs try to shift the game intentionally or does it come as a surprise?

I had 30k warp stacks which were depleted running from area 5000 to about 5700.
I estimate it saved me 10 min, 15 at most.
Looks meaningless in a +11h dungeon run unless you want us to keep stacking and save everything for a challenge run?
I wish you'd release more crusaders like Odile and Hildr.
Big impact = more fun.
Thx.

Hi Erika!

Was garnet intended to be about e150-e200 worse than Imani in terms of being a buffer, and are you happy with the current amount of speed she has to compensate for this?

Am very happy to see you guys took your time with making sure the event got out right instead of rushing it!

Hi Erika

I am just wondering. Is there anyone on the radar right now that you want to try to bring into the dungeon meta or just reworking someone for general use/challenge? Or are you guys still busy enough with the runes?

Also are we getting a fresh breeze in the challenge restrictions and forms again soon? I would still suggest reworking Blast of the Past overall, it would be nice if we could also use T2 and T3 crusaders in it. Maybe even T4 depends how strong you want it to be. But its currently so much weaker than the rest in its current state

Adding the Alien/Evil/Undead/Non Binary/Flora/superhero tag to already existing challenges would also be nice. You could also make a specific challenge with all those oddball tags together? But it would be nice to see those tags at least somewhere.

Hi, Erika. Thanks for the chest code. A potpourri follows, brace yourself:

1) Even this late into the releases, I'm still having a hard time parsing the philosophy of the 5th runes. When they were held back, I thought that they were supposed to be pretty revolutionary, but the actual result hasn’t really been so. It's true that some of them have made some edge-of-meta crusaders more attractive for experimentation - Bruno, Mycall, Xygallix, Carmen and Petunia in the latest batch are all in consideration with help from their 5th runes, which is really nice and gives incentives to play around with more Crusaders and formation ideas. But these have been by and large the exception rather than the rule. While it would be impossible to bring every crusader up to an equal point, some of these runes seem like they aren't even in the ballpark. I'll point to Aphelion as a particularly egregious example, an already incredibly outclassed DPS crusader, and his 5th rune seems significantly weaker than those of already superior DPSers. There's plenty of other crusaders that could be pointed to in kind on this, where you'd have to do something pretty monumental to even make them worth paying attention to and the fifths don't really even try, so it doesn't seem like that's the focus, but then I'm not really getting what the focus is, that the require such an extra amount of time to implement. I just think it would help if we understood the thought process that goes into the 5th runes, what the ideal accomplishment with them would be, what you want to avoid happening, etc. Understanding this might help us understand better what we're seeing and what we can/should expect.

2) Garnet has drawn obvious parallels to Briv from Idle Champions, at least from those familiar with both games. It's nice having an additional speed option, and it feels like the Crusader was made with an emphasis on that speed in mind. Would you consider/are you considering using their 5th rune to enhance this? Just from my brief calculations, a 5% reduction in stack degradation per level (linear and multiplicative with the base) would provide a relative benefit to the speed that would be rather in line with the sort of boosts you'd get with 5th runes in other factors. That's of course only one option of many but it was a quick one to test.

3) In a similar vein, another idea I think would be worth considering borrowing from IC would be the game speed boost. The consumable items and one champion ability increases the actual speed of the game, independent of other factors which make completing waves faster. Would you consider implementing a buff or FA that would have this sort of effect? I suppose the first question to ask would be, would the game architecture support such a function? Because if it doesn't, that can be our answer right there.

4) A minor thing, but I've noticed that if you reset the world multiple times without restarting the game, the "Instant" graphic on instant cooldowns starts to appear in multiples. I have it sometimes showing up 4-5 times in a single cooldown. Any chance that could just be looked at and cleaned up? I can't imagine it helps with memory if something like that is being persisted.

While thinking about the game, I realized that the only "currency" in the game we can't actively do anything towards getting any faster is runes(I don't consider GLs a currency, although you could make the argument). The next closest in terms of limiting factors, would be challenge coins, but at least in that regard we can decide if we want to spend time pushing deeper on the challenges or not. For runes, the only thing we can do is wait for time to pass(or spend money).

I think I recall you saying that the runic chest purchases were limited because the end game players have way too much excess currency and they'd be able to buy too many and make the gap even larger with newer players, but it seems like the same thing is going to occur with this method(or really any method). Is there any chance we could get some way to earn runic chests/runes that we could actually impact by doing something? I know I've asked in the past to get some nice rewards in the paid pass for levels past 25, I think putting a bunch of medium to high level runes there would give end gamers something to really push towards and have to sacrifice idols for(so they could run more point runs). And it might even get more people to purchase the pass as the amount of runes they stood to gain would be too juicy to pass up.

I'm looking forward to seeing this last batch of runes and what is in store for S4 of the dungeons(anything you want to mention about it yet?).

I'm wondering why, when you choose a skin icon, it doesn't automatically change the tags as well. At least, that is what is happening for me. If it is a feature, not a bug, I'd like to see the two things, choosing the icon and the change in tags happen together.

why does Greyskull have an "increased max level" rune?

why does Garnet have a mission gold rune?

I have been playing a little over 3 years, very active. Seasons one and two were a struggle for me, but this season I might complete level 25. The rewards are awesome!

Originally posted by These_Panda_878

Hello Erika, thank you for the runic chests and bug fixes. New next batch of T8 talents will help players in Evil Scheme objective. Once the 3rd season ends, I will save up for idols for upcoming T8 talents and do remaining T5 objectives.

Hi Erika

Thanks for garnet. Its nice to get some a new form a speed going. One thing though the description for the secondary/legendary effect on her rings is misleading and has caused confusion. It buffs targeted dps effects not self only. Since other than being adjacent instead of rear column it is functionally the same as holddoor's loyalty i would request the description on the gear be changed to match that ability.
