Welcome Crusaders!

Before we begin: I hope you're all staying safe and being kind.

 

For those of you who are joining us for the first time, I'm Erika, the Live Services Manager for Crusaders of the Lost Idols, and I will do my best to answer your Crusaders questions. This Q&A is so you know where to find one of the team to chat Crusaders weekly.

I will be answering questions live for the first hour and then checking back throughout the week.

Not to be one of those eager beavers, but what can we expect for this game's 6th anniversary?

Also, this game along with Idle Champions are one of the reasons why simply keep on playing and finding new tips from the community. Thank you for creating such a wonderful game that keeps on growing. 💜

💜 Thank you. I'll pass it along to the rest of the team as well. :)

Well, the basics of the anniversary is the 7 days of codes for fun stuff, with the Idol bonus starting when you redeem all 7 of them.

Then Wilson be joining the stream on the 29th, to finally see what questions players want to ask him.

Counting ahead, July 27th will be the 250th reddit Q&A, so I'll be running a raffle for the players who comment during the first 24 hours of it.

Otherwise, I'm hoping on the quick rune merging tech, and then whatever other little bits of QoL we can squeeze in around that.

Hi Erika,

when we will get Tier 5's 11th Objectives?

Hi Brianp45344,

I've got it penciled in for when all the campaigns have their Tier 5 objectives, so that's coming up soon. That update will likely be this year.

One that would get people excited would be to double Qadir's open rate.

Thank you for the suggestion. :)

Yeah, I feel comfortable enough that we'll hit the event release dates, so they're all in the post.

You're welcome for the code. :)

Hey Erica, as a suggestion on QOL improvements, can we also get crafting to add a choice of crusaders not in our formation.

Hi FrequentWay,

That's probably a filter option we can add. I'll toss it on the QoL list to look into.

Cheers!

Any chance of adding the amount of idols currently for reset the world to the info panel for the current run (where you can see how many dungeon points/tokens during dungeon runs) rather than needing to get to the 20th slot to see just in the tooltip for the reset ability

That's an interesting request. It's similar to the request for a detached reset the world button. I wonder which one is easier to implement. I'll add it to our list to consider.

Thank you for the chest and congrats on 6 years!

Suggestion for the Runes menu: Sort Crusaders by 5th runes either by 5 separate elemental tabs or one list going down in a certain order (similar to Bench Seat sorting).
Ex: All Crusaders with 5th Fire Runes, Water, Air, Earth, Soul

I just thought it'd be nice to locate our highest level runes faster when we want to move to another Crusader or when crafting more powerful runes. I'm also hoping for a way to merge multiple runes at once as many other players have requested.

Yeah, hard to believe it's year 6 done and dusted already. Thank you to all the players for keeping it alive. :)

Oh neat, that is a good idea for a possible filter. I'll add it to the QoL list to look into.

Quicker rune merging tech is underway, so fingers crossed. :)

Kudos to the team for almost six years of creating! Are there any new talents coming up or is that after dungeon season 5 is out?

Cheers, I'll pass it along.

I do want to do more talents before the end of the year, so we'll see when they end up going out.

Hey Erika,

Can someone please double-check on Garnet's Jewelers Finest? Not convinced it's currently working. If it is, can someone please change the ability's tooltip so that it shows which Formation Abilities Jewelers Finest is currently affecting?

Hi Cassius335,

It is working. You need the buff bubbles enabled to see it. Affected Crusaders get the Jeweler's Finest buff bubble and then the DPS bonus on applicable abilities is increased in the relevant buff bubbles as well.

I'll add the request for seeing "from Jeweler's Finest" to the tooltips to the suggestion list to consider and we'll see what happens.

How about exchange rune feature ? U can trade same lv rune to another element with a cost. Material, catalyst or something else.

Exchanging runes isn't something we're currently planning, but I'll add your vote to the item on our suggestion list to consider. :)

A thought I just had for the "Blast from the Past" challenge:

Have it based on a randomly selected event crusader that's at least 50 crusaders or so back, you get that crusader and the next 34 event crusaders to have been released. That gets you about the same number as you currently do but your selection is going to be different each time.

(Yes, I fully expect chat/Reddit/Discord moans of "we missed {powerful crusader} by ONE!")

That's an interesting way to mix up the challenge, or for a potential restriction for a future objective. We'll keep it in mind. :)

when you come out with future crusaders, can you please start mixing up the 5th rune slot with runes other than fire. It seems the fire rune is very popular 5th spot for the powerful characters and simply, there's just not enough fire to go around. thx a bunch.

The runes get randomly assigned with each new Crusader. It's just happened that some of the 5th slot runes have been Fire on the popular Crusaders so far.

Thank you. The Buff Bubbles are... not the best.

Yeah, they are something I would love to replace, but they technically still work.

This just gave me an idea that I don't think I've seen suggested before. Instead of trying to fit the reset button onto the main screen, which I believe was deemed problematic in the past (for space reasons), how about adding it to the info panel mentioned here?

It would fit nicely next to the Rewards box, under the See All Objectives button. It would be out of the way, reducing the chance of accidentally clicking it. But it would still be way more convenient than it is now. What do you think of that idea?

Oh, that would be a neat way to deal with it. We'll keep it in mind.
