Can we replay earlier seasons? I missed the first 4 and didn't get really far last season.

While we're planning on just running the same 4 season UI flavours, we don't plan on rerunning a season.

The major items from the older seasons are available in the dungeon depot for dungeon coins.

When is the next dungeon season scheduled to start? Also how long is a dungeon season?

Hopefully soon, like within the next month. I'll have a better grasp on the date next week as we get some of the tech sorted out.

The season length has ended up varying across all 5 seasons so far, but ideally it would be 12 weeks long, with the week break between them.

Hi, Erika. How's the team doing?

I got a question, do you know if the Tiernan dlc on steam will be going on sale at some point?

Hi belkak210,

The team is doing well, thank you. We hope you're well too.

I'm planning on including the Tiernan DLC in the next Steam sale, so it will have a bit of a discount.

For people that are lower power it's really hard now to get all the previous dungeon rewards, now that a few have accumulated. Maybe they could be bundled and/or heavily discounted?

We discounted the Little Reaper taskmaster at the start of season 5, as it had been a year since it was released.

We're planning on discounting the season 2 skins with the start of season 6.

And I may revisit the coin drops for season 6 a little bit as well.

Hi AppyLeagueFan,

You're welcome. Luckily it was something easy for Wilson to find and fix quickly.

Have a good weekend! :)

I started playing this game around the release in 2015, and then paused until I resumed playing November last year. I unlocked the dungeons a week ago, a little bit too late to get Matt.

You needed to get 54.000 points to unlock Matt. Now I'm not entirely sure about the exact reward schedule but I believe it was around 300 points for reaching area 3000.

Dungeon coins however would be around 15 for reaching area 3000.

That means that unlocking Matt by points would mean 54000/300 = 180 runs to area 3000. And unlocking Matt by coins equates to 10000/15 = 667 runs to area 3000. (Bonuses disregarded because the bonus percentage for coins and points is the same)

Ergo, it is almost 4x as expensive to unlock Matt through points. Same probably goes for Tora. This penalizes newcomers to the game and less active players. And for me personally, this feels very discouraging to even continue playing because the gap would only become bigger and bigger. Are there any plans on balancing these costs and making the game more fair to slower players?

The seasons are definitely a trick to balance, but the point requirements for the rewards were based on the length of the season and factored in the dungeon points missions for season 5.

We wanted the rewards to be something players who participated in a season can be proud of earning, and didn't want them to be too easily acquired by players who come in and purchase them after the fact in a later season. Or something players just skip the season for and wait to purchase afterwards.

But for season 6, like the past seasons, there will be some tweaking to the points and coins drops.

Any chance Adina's Lasso GE will ever be available again? It's the only one I don't have :(

Adina's Lasso is included in both the Flash Sale system and the Challenger's Warehouse inventory.

But you mention it's the last GE you're missing? There's probably a bug then, with the game trying to decide which store to offer it in, if you haven't seen it in either location so far.

Thanks for the Runic Chest!

I like having Dungeon Point Missions (although I'm hoping to see better odds 😉). The insane EP requirements for some missions was good motivation for giving our benched Crusaders something to do! lol

Will that requirement keep increasing? If so, which Crusaders do you suggest we beef up before next season?

I'm also glad for the break so I can get cracking on those T5 objectives.

You're welcome for the Runic chest.

I mean, those EP requirements seemed tame, compared to what the increase EP from missions runes can do.

It will just be the same dungeon point missions for next season, so if you've got your crews set up for EP already, you'll be all set.

Good luck with the Tier 5s!

hi, HNY

Is it possible to have upgrade crus levels buttons on/off thingy ? At least for events. Im talking about beat 5k with event crus only. One missclick or routine one and you are toasted. A tick or sth to activate/deactivate or sth.

Second thing is a need to work on rotation of bonuses on dungeons objectives. It was shuffling mostly with the few same ones. Not cool. Maybe sth like it is with chalenges ?

The same with rune R7 reward at event objective maybe ?

We don't plan on adding a toggle to the level up or upgrade button, but I'll note down that it was requested.

Pseudo-random instead of wholly random has been suggested before for the dungeon objectives, and I'll add your vote to the item on the list.

We discussed making a list of runes, so that there was a more even distribution, but in the end settled for truly random, since that was less finicky and didn't punish a player for missing the event with the objective that gave a fire rune and having to wait a year for that event to come back.

Thanks for the info! I get no flash sales anymore and it doesn't show up in the challenger warehouse, so I think I'm bugged :)

Should I put in a ticket?

It wouldn't be related to anything on your account, more the code in those systems that choose the GE, so I've just flagged it with Wilson to look into when he has a moment.

Hey there! Thanks for the chest.

I'd just like to mention once again the crazy long delays when sending or finishing the dozens and dozens of missions i do every day. What once was an occasional occurrence - a 'waiting for server' notice - now occurs absolutely every time, and the wait keeps getting longer.

And it's not memory leak stuff. I reload the game quite often, and doing so right before handling missions makes no difference. It also makes no difference if crusaders are advancing normally, via warp, via sprint, or just chilling on a single level while i do missions. (Though, if they are advancing, there may be an additional, 'searching for loot').

Totaled up, i end up spending several minutes a day just staring at that 'waiting for server' notice and am a bit tired of it.

Would be lovely to see it go away. ( ^_^ )

Thanks.

Hi Azar-yah,

You're welcome for the chest.

I understand the mission screen lag is frustrating and it would be nice if it went away. We haven't forgotten about it, and we'll hopefully have time to look at it soon.

Hi Erika, thanks for the chest!

Do you expect the QOL fix to silver chest opening will go live next week?

Hi ROKH777,

You're welcome for the chest.

The QOL for silver chests won't be part of next week's update. That's just the Carnage Cup update.

Was Mogra's "Ring Leader" formation ability changed? I'm working on Tier 5 Grimm's Idle Tales, The Writing Desk. I have to get to level 1250, but whenever I advance to level 1101 or above, Mogra's "Ring Leader" formation ability resets and its DPS bonus drops to zero. It works normally for level 1100 and below, but not for level 1101 and above.

I guess I'll work on Free Play levels. I can't beat this Tier 5 level, and the remaining Tier 5 levels require me to beat this one. And the Dungeons are gone again, so I can't work on them...

Is Mogra moving around the formation on that area transition? Or is he staying in the same formation slot?

With the rune reward i meant that i wouldnt like to see 2 same runes in a row, or not to see one rune in few months. Not that every event has its own rune. Random but with a pity timer like in leg chests giving epic gear.

Or maybe just an option not to give two last runes ? Just one of the 3 left. etc

Thank you for clarifying the rune reward point. I'll make a note on our suggestion list.

Hi Erika,

Just putting this one back on the list, or adding an extra vote for it, the ability to clear a formation slot, not overwrite them, wipe them back to a grey indicator. Having 5 slots is great but not being able to wipe out ones that were used for testing and/or are no longer relevant, and have that be obvious in a glance is a niggling annoyance.

Cheers

AC

Hi AC,

Thank you for bringing up deleting saved formations again. I'll add another vote to the item on the list and we'll see what happens.

Cheers!
