hey Erika
- so did Jay ever do that magical girl sader backstory?
- at least one English word , am i in the raffle now?
Hi N00byDoobyDoo,
1) Yup, Jay has done the backstory for Odile, and it will be in the Christmas blog tomorrow.
2) Yes, you're entered. :)
Good morning!
Before we begin today, I hope you are safe wherever you are, and that you are in a position to take care of yourselves during this time of change.
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 Community Manager for Codename Entertainment, 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 through...
Read more External link →Would it be possible to have alternative options than the chests with the Dungeon tickets? Points or something would be nice to have as an option to trade them in for...
And the same with the epic recipes, it's kind of something that's disappointing for most people that are that far in since they've likely gotten all of them already unless they can fill slots where there aren't recipes available for talent buffs...the only ones I don't have all recipes for are the ones that they aren't released for (Last event crusader/New Event Crusader and the Desert Bus ones...).
We gave out Dungeon Vouchers for unique chests from the season rewards this time, since players commented that normal Jeweled chests weren't special enough. We don't plan on using the vouchers for other things at this time, but we'll note down the request.
The Desert Bus Crusaders don't get recipes, but yeah, the players who might be hitting the reward for the Epic recipes, if they are long term veterans, may not need all 10 recipes at once. We'll be looking at retooling that for season 3.
Hi Erika and Kat :)
Where can we find that player-made color sheet that was shown in the last stream?
So they've got it hosted in the description of their speed draw video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJDEkF2b4gY
And we're going to post is as the colouring sheet challenge over the break as well.
Duck Crusaders!
There's a flurry of snow coming your way with our latest colouring sheet, Snowball Fight!, now available from our website.
If we get 50 coloured sheets shared at us on our Twitter or here on reddit with the hash tags #lostidolscolouring and #snowballfight by Tuesday, December 15th, 2020 at 4pm (16:00) Pacific Time (UTC-8), then we'll release a code for a 7 day long 200% Spawn Speed buff redeemable by all players. We'll be combining the sheets collected last coup...

Unfortunately, we didn't meet the goal this week, but we'll keep aiming for the 50 or more coloured pages with our next colouring sheet!
Is it possible in the runes button to have a "hover" balloon over each crusader saying what other crusaders share their seat? It would make it easier for me to decide what runes to fill on which crusader.
Yeah, we can look into adding that to the rune dialog. :)
Yeah right, on mission screen
Thanks for clarifying. So the advantage would be that you could spread the EP totals among the bench seats better?
Erica, hello!
Once again (this time because of a frozen computer) 10k pieces of pie burned out. Because the computer wouldn't start. And I couldn't buy myself a chest for the Monster. Due to the fact that he entered the game 20 minutes later than necessary. Don't you think this is unfair? Huge request - think of a talent (for example) who could hold the accumulated currency of the event for at least an hour after its end? At least - because it's a pity for the spent warps. As a maximum - generally spent time. I think there will be many people who wanted to buy something, or launch something, but a small event outside of his control made its own adjustments.
Well, as always - thanks for the code.
Hi dimitrius5naj,
Sorry to hear you had trouble loading the game right at the event ending. However, we don't plan on extending event currency to be spendable after the event has ended.
I'll make a note to look into if there's anything on our end we can do about the loading time for getting into the game though.
Hey, have you looked at the flash emulater Ruffle as a way going forward for running Crusaders in Web Assembly? https://ruffle.rs/
Hi Tyson,
We are aware of Ruffle, but in its current state of development, Ruffle will not support Crusaders, with its ActionScript 3 API basicially non-existent.
its pretty awesome but as Rattlecat the artist stated its "obnoxiously detailed" so will be fun to color...
Haha, I'd like to see how detailed that will be then.
just a guess, are talents coming the same day as event?
I believe as I said on stream last week, hopefully this week, but it might slide into next week. We'll see.
Hi Erika,
currently only the seat number and the EP of the selected crusader is shown when hovering over the saders image. Would be nice to have additionally displayed the EPs of the whole seat, since EP is shared to 100%+
For example:
Tiernan: 2200EP
Seat (23): 22000EP
Swaps with Mycall, ....
Hi umdos,
I'm guessing this is in regards to on the mission screen?
Hi Erika!
Thanks for the chests as always. Following up on the new player experience questions from before, I remember something that was a huge turnoff for me was how long crusaders were injured for when I sent them on missions and failed them, especially if I sent my main DPS off on a recruit mission and was stuck resetting suboptimal free plays for even longer than I expected. Would there possibly be consideration of a low-tier talent that speeds up injury recovery time for crusaders, and/or possibly a higher tier talent that lowers the odds of a crusader getting injured on a Dangerous mission? Even at ~2m idols and having a decent (~30%) amount of crusaders I would consider a talent like that far more useful than The More The Merrier. Thoughts?
Hi Not_Pro,
You're welcome for the chests.
We weren't planning on having Talents that do anything for the injury timer, but I'll add it to our request list and we'll see what happens.
I think the injury mechanic was just to encourage you to find other formations in the meantime while the Crusader was injured.
Hey Erika!
Thursday night is the Game Awards. Will you be watching/'have it on as background while doing something else' & is there any game reveal/announcement you're hoping for?
Hi Cassius,
Given I have no idea what Game Awards you're referring to, no I won't be watching it. I honestly don't care about if a game has won an award or not. It just has to interest me if I'm gonna think about buying it and maybe or maybe not playing it.
I'm using the new launcher. Any chance that it'll remember the settings I pick (ie, screen size) from when I restart my computer?. Every other app does.
Unfortunately, we've tried doing that twice now, and something about Adobe Air makes the game not load properly for the majority of players if we tell the game to try loading at the previously selected scaling. So it isn't something we can add.
Hi Erika,
I'd like to ask if you gonna host again flash sale frenzy anytime soon?
Cheers!
Hi Kurt,
It won't be running this month, but we will be running it again in the future.
I use RoboRabit everyday now. It's just mildly annoying that something keeps switching back to the Wacking Bush. Other seat dont have that issue, is this something that can be changed?
Also, and I don't know if it is interesting enough, but maybe you could make a sader who increases DPS according to X amount of HP in the formation.
Thx.
Hi Xerxish,
It's a quirk of the game, almost all objectives specifically assign the Bush Whacker himself in the formation, which is why you always have to change back to RoboRabbit, if you don't have a saved formation you can load on area 1. The ones where he doesn't start in formation is because we've hardcoded the game change.
It's been on the request list to look into changing it to use the previously selected seat 1 Crusader if available for the objective, and I'll add your vote to that.
Thanks for the code.
No real questions this time, looking forward to more talents
Not sure if there is a typo but you have a statement about transitioning accounts:
" Note: The launcher will work with Linux and Wine. Otherwise, you can try using the Steam version if you're a Linux user. "
The way this is written makes me think a "Not" is missing in the first sentence since it is followed by an alternate option for linux users. If I am reading into it too much, my bad.
You're welcome for the code.
No typos, though one could argue for being repetitive, since the Wine and Steam options both apply for Linux players and I do repeat Linux in there.
That's what I get for just appending information instead of reworking my opening post.
Hi Erika,
how much will the Gloria and Agent skins cost in the dungeon shop after Clocktower is over? Need to know how many dungeon coins to save!
Thank you...
Hi bobbanks77,
They'll be pricey, but I don't have hard numbers yet, sorry. Been focusing on the Talents so far.
Cheers.
