Hi, Erika.

How are you, and the Family?

I did the last two Objectives; "Mutiny", and "Deadly Tales", within the last week, which has increased my Idol Gain, by a good bit. I went from a 2 Trillion Reset, just after doing "Mutiny", I think, two days ago, again, I think, to a 7.9 Trillion one, on my last Reset.

We also just changed our Internet Provider, so the Chat is messing about, a bit, and the T. V. hasn't been working. It's I. P. T. V., so they may be blocking access to it. I'll have to ask them.

Thanks. for the Code.

Hi DJCasper,

We're doing well, thanks.

Oh nice, congrats on finishing those off!

You mean the game chat doesn't like the new internet provider? When you say it's acting up, what is it doing?

You're welcome for the chest.

Hi Erika !
Once again, thanks for the chest :)

My request :
When I launch the game, it automatically starts with a x1 resolution, and I always have to change its resolution to x0.85 (so I can see the whole thing on my very small screen ^^). Is it possible to "save" this feature with the rest of the game options?

May the rest of your week be nice, and thanks for the launcher too, works perfectly !

Hi kibrule,

You're welcome for the chest.

I know there were some issues with saving the resolution scale choice when we first launched it on Steam. We backburnered it until we had more time. I'll see if that's something we can tackle soon.

Have a great week!

I'm just hoping it doesn't get any harder at this point to recruit the Tier 6 saders...I'm young yet XD

You're welcome for the chest.

The Thanksgiving objectives shouldn't be as hard as the Halloween ones.

Stopped playing Ready Player Two since you added dungeons. :D

Oh neat, that book did come out. Part of me is curious to check it out.

Well yes, Dungeons give a bit more Idols than RP2 depending on where you are in the game.

Hi Erika, will the Gloria and Agent skins be available to buy if we don't get them during the Dungeons? If so, in which shop, skin or dungeon?

Thank you for the great new content!

Hi bobbanks77,

The Gloria and Agent 79 costumes will be available in the Dungeon Token store after Season 2 is over.

We're glad you're enjoying the latest content!

With Legendary Catalysts ever increasing in use, can we get more ways to acquire them?

Can we get a way to filter Crusaders to send on missions? Specifically to check for the ones with reduced time from runes?

Edit Basically what I am thinking on the Catalysts is a new bundle with like a golden epic, a skin, and Catalysts. Like advanced packs for Crusaders to supplement the beginner packs. "You have the Crusader, now take them to the next level with this whale bait bundle!"

More ways than the missions, opening normal Jeweled chests, and Dungeon Rewards? We can keep the request in mind.

Yeah, the mission screen has come up a lot lately. It's on the radar for an update sooner than later.

That's an interesting idea for a bundle. I'll note it down on our suggestion list to consider, and we'll see what happens.

Hey Erika! Thanks for the chest and thank Kevin for the downloadable launcher. Small QOL thing for the new launcher. Right now you have chat rooms 0 and 1. With a lot of us coming from different areas of the web, is there a way to do something like Room Facebook, Room Armor, Room Kong - so we can find the people we have been chatting with easily and quickly? If not, I get it, but wanted to throw it out there. Thanks again!

Hi AMQ_

You're welcome for the chests. I'll pass the thanks along.

Hmm, I do know that Nick managed to relabel the chat rooms in the Bush Whacker 2 launcher. I'll make a note for Kevin to have a chat with him about that and see what we can do, though players might not have kept the same names when making their CNE accounts.

Hey Erika

  1. So from the stream I was able to deduce the new T6 tags will be event, male, orc and DPS, are there more you can reveal? Or are you going minimal like the crow? [personally, I wouldn’t mind of half of it healed, and the other found gold, like a sort of healer gold]
  2. Any other talents you can tease? Like something rune related?

Hi N00byDoobyDoo,

1) So the Momma's Monster tags are Male, Male, Orc, Orc, Event, DPS and Good.

2) No Rune related Talents in this batch, but we might do some in the future.

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...

Suggestion for 5th Runes: Have them give an always-on bonus of some sort (thematically appropriate for that crusader), whether or not the crusader is in the formation.

This avoids you wasting your time coming up with bonuses for 100+ crusaders that, realistically speaking, are hardly ever going to be used, and forces more player choices as to deep vs. shallow rune investment.

We'll keep the idea in mind and see what happens.

From your ideal design perspective, how long do you think Dungeon runs should be?

I'm perplexed at the Dungeon reward structure which practically demands that you use shenanigans that let you use a speed formation all the way to the end in order to complete the necessary number of runs/week, given your stated dislike for exactly that kind of playstyle.

Is your ideal player doing 6 ~24-hour-long runs each week in Dungeons? If so, do you think the rewards that player would receive for dedicating all that time to those runs is your benchmark for what players should consider a reasonable reward?

The ideal Dungeon run is just as far as player can push with their DPS.

This season, it's a choice between Idols and points, and we'll see how that plays out.

Thanks for the runic chests, going to post my question(s) again from last week, hope you had some time to think about them

What direction would you like to see the dungeon meta move towards over the next few events? The current meta relies around pre-miming and stacking abilities for a brief spike in DPS that is then captured by kris and stored by RR. It seems you aren't a huge fan of that kind of play style(please correct me if I'm mistaken). Would you like to see people using just normal static DPS formations to push deep in dungeons? Would you not mind the meta as much if you knew everyone that played tha game used it? Do you think it gives an unfair advantage, and by extension, much harder time for you, trying to plan the dungeon levels knowing that some players are getting e500+ more DPS than others with the exact same crusaders because they are using all of the things discovered by the discord community? When you are designing new crusaders, what play style do you ha...

You're welcome for the chests. :)

Dungeon meta: It's probably going to be something that takes a few seasons to evolve.

The Kris/Roborabbit interaction is fine. I would like to see Mindy only mimic Crusaders she's adjacent to, and stop the copies of the timed abilities when the Crusaders are moved away from her.

The uncapped nature of the Dungeons is making me appreciate having players run to the cap previously, but we'll adapt as we get more seasons under our belt.

The new Crusaders aren't really designed for a play style, more just for trying to innovate on the mechanics or introduce new mechanics and possibly come with a bit of power creep.

Hey, I happened to try this earlier! Downloading and extracting the .zip version, then running

wine "Crusaders of the Lost Idols.exe"

in its directory seemed to work just fine. It seemed plenty stable, but admittedly I only let it run for half an hour or so.

Tried to run it.

Windows Defender SmartScreen said "no".

If you say show more, it should give you the "Run Anyway" button.

I'm excited for the stand-alone client! I've really been wanting to leave the game running in the background on another machine, but since I play through Steam that locks me out from playing anything else on my main computer. :P

I know we've discussed it before, but I would really appreciate if one of the updates post-new client was SOME sort of search or sorting method for missions. The last T6 objective from Emo is the perfect example - it took me about 15 minutes to find all my projectile crusaders and star them, so I can get them over 1,000 EP to help with that objective. Even just a name search would have saved me over 10 minutes.

Well, launcher day is here!

Yeah, the mission screen revamp is high on the list of improvements we want to dig into. I'll keep the search box feature in mind.

Hi Erika, hope you, your loved ones, and the team are doing well. I was curious if there were any plans to add any type of talent that increases something based on number of skins owned like the taskmaster talent?

Thanks for the rune chest!

Hi Bizzy68,

We're doing well, thank you for asking! I hope you and yours are thriving too.

There wasn't any plans, but hearing the suggestion I'm open to maybe doing something to reward skin collecting.

You're welcome for the chest. :)

I think we have some double reward problems here.

- Rune Chest: It was only one.

- Idol: Applies when get refresh.

So you completed those missions with the Double Success, but didn't get the rewards properly?

Could you put in a support ticket please?
