Hi! I've come back to the game after quite a long break, and am seeing quite a lot of new content. Can anyone give me a brief overview of dungeons/season as well as runes?

Thanks for the extra challenge tokens, I didn't even realise I was missing any and thanks for the code. I would like the challenges to be faster if possible :)

Have different currency challenges!

So the further you go, instead of just getting challenge tokens, you start getting rubies as well.

This will make it worth going further on a challenge when tokens only drop 1 per 30 something levels, maybe at that point, let it drop rubies too.

We should not be punished for going far in a challenge, it never made since why you get diminishing returns (fewer tokens) per levels the further out you go.

IT makes you want to bail from challenge early; like at 150 tokens early.

i don't know if this been asked before, but unlocking rune 5 on a crusader which didn't have all first 4 runes unlocked previously increase the cost of legendary catalyst for the next one, is that intended ?

Originally posted by Bocian00000

1.Can you add information about the number of skins you have? 2.A request to add sorting to missions by type and power of runes. For example, I would like to display crusaders with double bonus or mission duration. For EP missions, I'd like to see the crusaders with the highest rune bonus first. 3.Another suggestion is to add 1000 areas to the change of areas, e.g. using Ctrl + arrow. It would be helpful with Odile stacks 4.Maybe some kind of shop where you can exchange individual things, for example, I can buy rubies for catalysts. Could be included: Catalysts, Rubies, Challenge Tokens, Dungeon Coins.

Hi Erica,

are there any plans to make leveling the runes more easier? Maybe something like a hotkey to do it faster.

maybe a tool tip in game without going to the selection screen to know what you need for the challenge?

Hi Erika!

Thanks for the chest! Just a friendly reminder to find a way to make the challenges faster/more interesting. Not really looking for sprint here, but instead for a carrot to push as far as we can. Especially now that we can go even higher. Maybe getting more frequent tokens the higher you get? We can spend those on the third GE in the shop. ;)

Cheers and have a good week!

Hello!

Thank you for the chest :)

Just a random idea about challenges: could we have two to choose from? The moment they appear a player would be given an option of two different challenges and could compete in only one?

Have a nice evening!

For the love of god, change up some maps for challenges. I don't think anyone is having fun making formation with 8 crusaders, unless you actively want to diminish players' fun. Also few new challenges would be nice, like aliens or superheroes, also plants are missing. And something like new Evil scheme objective, only evils, demons and undead allowed.

Hello Erika,

Got a few things to comment on first off the new 11th's are a pretty good challenge for most of us the issue we seem to be having is the last one evil scheme is simply way too difficult for most of us to do even with a lot of idols rn I'm at e15 and have been playing for several years already and we have people with e19 idols who can barely get that objective done but extremely easily can do the others. Can we have something done to that objective to make it possible to do for the majority of us. I'd also like to ask we know the next rune slots will go in order by crusader id but are you able to tease how many will come out in this next batch? Also with regards to idols from the free plays now feel they were nerfed slightly too much. For me, at this point, I still cannot justify doing a Freeplay over a dungeon run as the coins and points from dungeons combined with how short the season makes it not worth it to run anything but the dungeons. As for the weekly challenges my only suggestion, there is maybe slightly change the distribution of the coins given towards the end of the run we get coins much more slowly and at the beginning, we get them much more quickly so maybe having it be more streamlined would be nice have a coin every few areas maybe even very slightly increase the number of coins we could earn per week rn I believe the max with the talent maxed is 282 granted this is before the new cap increase so we will have to see where that lands us. Also a way to get geodes faster would be great the one a week would take us quite a while especially with the challenges maybe have one geode mission for 3 geodes that's more rare or one for 5 or even one fo 2 would be wonderful

Originally posted by Nasitrapkrad

If you have this info: what is the most amount of idols someone has at this date? What's the world record? I'm very curious.

Originally posted by ryan92084

For the challenges besides new tag combination challenges ( more tiers, "out of this world" angel/demon/alien, something something flora?, etc) anything that makes them more about challenging our form building abilities rather than our patience would be welcome

Originally posted by AllShallBeWell

I enjoyed the first three new T11 objectives, but haven't bothered with the last two yet due to the irrelevancy of their rewards.

I'm kind of perplexed about them, so I have to ask: What is the intended purpose of putting a cap raise so deep in the reward system?

By the time a player is able to complete the objectives that raise the cap, (a) they've long since left FPs behind as a meaningful source of idols, and (b) the soft cap on bonus idols in FPs means that no matter how high you raise the cap, those aren't ever going to turn into a meaningful source of idols.

There's a narrow window in which someone will get a reasonable amount of value out of the 4th new objective (that just raises the cap), but the new talent just doesn't make a lot of sense.

Is there a plan to change Freeplays in a way that will make buying that talent make sense?

challenges: let us choose how to order the list of our top scores... i would like to sort it by date, so we can see what 3 challenges are in the pool for next challenge.

The new version skins/runes info box that pops up when you hover over a crusader is often sticking open. It makes it hard to click anything underneath it when you are merely sliding your mouse over to click on something near it? It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen a lot. But changing from the crusader screen to another like, statistics screen doesn't make it go away. It really gets in the way. Can this be corrected? Just sliding past a crusader shouldn't make this stay up infinitely. It never used to happen before the skins/rune info was added. Thank YOU! Thank you! Happy Tuesday btw!

" I am planning on making some updates to the weekly challenges in an upcoming update. What is something you'd like to see changed or added?"

----

How We Began: Original 20 only, Worlds Wake map, Taskmasters & Runes disabled. Certain Talents like Phase Skip & Bossing Around probably also worth disabling.

Identity Crisis: Hidden Temple map (replacing Blast From The Past, which is a tad outdated). Healing disabled. Crusaders gain 20% DPS for each tag they share with each adjacent Crusader (additive), but lose 20% Max Health for each non-original Tag they possess (multiplicative, cannot reduce below 1HP regardless)

---

The above might be a bit nasty for Weeklys, but hopefully you still find something useful in there...

Originally posted by Daurakin

Hi Erika!

Hmm... for challenges, there's always the currently missing tags for starters. Some examples of how to make those could be:

• Flower (Super)Power - Only Flora and Superhero Crusaders can be used - Gardeners of the Galaxy campaign

• Double or Nothing - Only dualgendered, dualraced, non-gendered or Non-Binary crusaders allowed (as well as the specific "hybrids" like Arachnobuddy, Emo and Willy) - Merci's Mix-up campaign.

• Dark Era / Dark Rule - Only Evil, Demons and Royal crusaders allowed - A Song of Thrones campaign (basicly the counterpart to The Grail of Power).

• Peril of the Planets (joke on War of the Worlds) - Only Alien crusaders and more modern and/or non-dualraced Human Crusaders can be used. "Modern" status can be signified by things such as wearing glasses, goggles, guns/hitech weapons, ties and/or modern attire (and maybe some other handpicked ones) - Alien Invasion campaign.

• Most humans would likely count as modern in some ways, but here are some examples of who I'd say WOULDN'T come along: Siri, Khouri, Reginald, Sasha, Odile, Chiyome, Greyskull, Wendy, Shadow Queen, The Princess, The Buch Whacker, Thalia, Ilsa, Merci and Jason (unless he wears the Special Ops skin) - Imani, Euodia and Shenna also won't come along due to being dualraced.

• Afterlife Tea (joke on Afternoon Tea) - Only Angels, Demons and Undead crusaders allowed - Sasha's Schoolhouse Scourge campaign

• Plain and Simple - Only non-Magical, non-Supernatural, non-Royal and non-Superheroes crusaders allowed - Kaine's Dinner of Doom campaign

This specifically covers the missing tags; Flora, Superhero, Alien, Non-binary, Evil and Undead (with Plain and Simple being just for funsies).

Hi Erika, thanks for the code!

I apologize if this was already asked before, but could it be possible in the bottom bar of the missions menu (where we see all the crusaders and pick them for each mission) to have a new type of priority/order added?

Basically, as it stands now the order is given as it follows:

• Favorite (optional)
  
• Most tags owned by crusader that are needed for that mission
  
• EP

What I would like to see added, while keeping the following priorities order:

• Favorite (optional)
  
• Most tags owned by crusader that are needed for that mission
  
• Rune power that activates for that mission (so for example shorter mission duration would always be taken into count as priority, while EP boost would only be considered for missions that give EP as reward)
• EP

I just thought it would help since I try to send crusaders with rune powers on mission often but sometimes I need to scroll a lot to find them, and using the favorites system might not always be ideal. Thanks in advance for your reply!

Hi Erika, thanks for the runic chest.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature of the "The Machine Stops" t4 objective, but in the description it says that debris hits two random crusaders for 95% health, however in practice sometimes the debris hits the same sader and instantly kills them. Please fix this issue

Originally posted by bgh251f2

We need some special challenges like you need to have the same amount of male and females (non binary and a gender are free), same amount of evil and good(the others are free), full diversity ( every crusader in the formation needs to have one tag the others don't have), humans and their pets(only humans and animals are available), aliens and their tools (only aliens and robots can be used), nature (no robot, no human, no alien, no elf, no dwarf, no leprechaun, no orc, no demon and no angel / take alway all sentient beings), costume party(only crusaders using a skin can be used).

Would love to see sprint in the challenges. Also maybe more tiers to Blast from the Past. Thanks for the rune chest.

Originally posted by Dragon97240

Hello Erika.

5th runes released by batches... will they be released by tier each time (so we will have to wait until the end of the dungeon for an upgrade for tier 5) ? As we got the first batch being the original crusaders, I only extrapolate that info.

BUT ! What about those crusaders from the charity event ? Each of them have a tier or will they all be released in the same batch ?

Originally posted by Travkeymaybe

Hi, again Erika,

Another tiny suggestion can we have a 3rd rune chest to purchase for rubies it's odd we only have 2 there and 3 in all other locations

Originally posted by VerbingWeirdsLang

Thank you for the chest!

Regarding the Challenges, if there aren't any plans for sprinting, perhaps you could implement other ways to speed things up?

For example, special Speed buffs or buffs that increase the drop rate that activate after you reach a certain area.

Also, I really liked the Dungeon Points buff from last time. I wasn't able to complete the dungeon but it brought me a few levels closer than I ever could with the Dungeon Bonus alone.

Some idea for challenges: make challenges real challenges. Make them unpredictable. For instance: instead of having for every challenge a fixed list of available crusaders: let the game pick random some crusaders to use for the challenge of that week. Limit the list of available crusaders (for instance: number of available spots in that challenge + 4) and make that list different for all players (if it's random then it will be different)

Originally posted by DoctorNovakaine

Hi, Erika. Thanks for the chest code.

Since you're asking for feedback on challenges, here are a couple that I've brought up previously:

-Uncapping challenges. There's still a natural limitation on challenges since they end in two days, so give us the opportunity to go for whatever we can get. In most cases we're not reaching cap anyway, but it could happen in the future.

-Rework Blast From The Past. Right now it's the only challenge that's perpetually stagnant - we're never getting more T1 crusaders so there's basically nothing to do with it except set and go. Runes may let us go a bit farther but that applies to every challenge, so we're still looking at a challenge that will inevitably be left in the dust. Allowing more crusaders over time as we get new tiers (Maybe allow event crusaders up to current tier -3?) would be a rework that would keep the basic premise but still allow progression over time; otherwise the premise itself may need to be revised.

And a couple new ones:

-New challenges? Maybe one or two. We've got some tags which aren't really used in any of them - nonbinary/no gender tag, plant, undead, superhero.

-Adjusting some formations? I'm pretty sure we have two challenges using the Premature Party formation. Top Line has only eight formation slots and doesn't match any actual formation we use unlike the others.

Oh my. And I thought I'm pretty high up there with my e24 idols.

Another question, If I might ask: at about how many idols possessed by an average player do you balance the talents costs? The costs go up so high it would take years of grinding to max them all. That doesn't sound fun at all. It's easy to feel burnt out.

Originally posted by Lintman2

thanks for the code. They seem to be few and far between. But great when you get them.

Originally posted by AMQ_

For the challenge - you had tier 1 event this week... maybe you have tier 2, tier 3, and tier 4 next.

Originally posted by SotFX

Would be nice to have a more accurate listing of catalysts...when you use them for making higher level runes, it doesn't track them properly. Listing that there are several there but requiring a reset of the game to properly track how many you have.

Hello Erika, I would like to have suggestions for challenges.

• Pure Evil: Good Crusaders can't be used but Evil Crusaders can only be used. This is reference to Pure Evil Villains in Villains Wiki (They have no remorse/regret/care) because they are irredeemable characters and referred to as Complete Monsters.
• Pure Good: Evil Crusaders can't be used but Good Crusaders can only be used. This is reference to Pure Good Heroes in Heroes Wiki (They have no sadism/grudge) because they are incorruptible characters and referred to as Pure of Heart/Incorruptible Pure Pureness.
• Anti Hero: Only Good and Evil Crusaders can only be used.

I would like to see the new antiheroic crusader (or the Crusader in grey zone), both good and evil tag, because they are in grey zone.

Also, I am hoping to see the new 10th non-event campaign, and to the nth non-event campaigns that I would like to see in the future!

It is on the arrow, and only on the arrow, and yet I can't click it. I did this all the time before the change with zero problem. All I am doing is moving the curser with my mouse over to the arrow and now I can't click on it. This is something that happens a lot since I'm trying out formations, checking on which character has what tags and unlimited other reasons I need to look at crusaders not on the screen. It should be the same non issue it was before. Now it is very frustrating.
I mentioned that when I changed screens to try to get out of it, it doesn't work. The box stays up no matter where I go. I do not use hot keys and have no idea what a rosette tab is.

Back to our favorite subjects aka dungeon rewards and challenge sprint:

Dungeon coins:

Atm if does coins run needs to do 30 runs (3 weeks) to get to buy Gloria's skin and 40 (4 weeks) to buy Taskmaster and Rune chests cost weekly 135 coins and 25 to idols buff and we need time to do points runs and also idols runs.

Even if ignores skins and TM still needs 640 coins per month and if dungeon seasons takes 2-3 months break (which isn't told to players as usual) then that'll cost a lot and some players need to skip rune chests and buy idols buff due that.

EDIT 1: If you are so worried about players sprinting and buying extra runs then make extra runs cost 500 dungeon coins or even 1k. That'd stop those who make sprints to get all rewards in a week.

EDIT 2: Based on above idea of dungeons is messed up since to get rewards needs to do points runs and idols runs to buy new talents and coin runs to buy various things (outside runes and idols buff quite meaningless) and 2.5-3 months doesn't have enough time to do all of those (especially when you keep adding more things to be bought (useless and mostly useless)).

Challenge sprint:

It doesn't make challenge any less challenging if we can sprint few thousand areas, just less boring (especially during dungeons).
