Crusaders Community Q&A #213 with host Erika

Hi Erika, Thanks for the info on the CNE launcher. For dungeon rewards, how about a buff that extends Sprint? Idol buff early in the season because an idol buff for the interval is currently pointless. Buff that allows you to do dungeon runs in the interval (perhaps without the idol bonus) just to use the higher dps available. If I were CNE, I would make the pass valuable even if one wasn't sure of reaching L25. It's easy to not spend if it is unlikely to have a reward

Hi cschwa,

You're welcome for the launcher info.

Would a reward buff for Sprint be temporary or permanent?

The paid season pass did have an early Idol buff, in addition to the final Idol buff. The final Idol buff also made sense for the original plans of the seasons being back to back, before the break in seasons became necessary, but we did add in the option to claim the season rewards when a player liked, with adding the break.

Ideally, there won't be a break between seasons again, or at least it will be a short one if there is one, so the dungeons being turned off for the interim won't be so bad next time.

Hi Didz999,

The Tier 6 Crusader for Carnival of Sorrows is an Animal, and the skin will be for Sashimi.

Is it possible to add talents like "Blue Shift" to the list of general talents?

If not an exact copy, then something like "Red Shift", thanks to which more gold will pour from the monsters, as if they were several levels higher.

Interesting ideas.

I'll add them to the list of potential talents players have suggested.

Hi, Erica. Could you give more information about saving rubies? What it would be? What for to spend them? One more question. I have only one crusader missed, it's pretty useful for a lot of formations, Ichtaca. Is there any chance to get it from the shop for, may be, rubies? No missions for crusaders for about a month of my active playing.

Thx for the chest.

Hi Gerundji,

You'll want a stash of rubies on hand for the new system of power we're adding, to help get you started.

Ichtaca's recruit and gear missions will be added to the game, along with the rest of the Tier 5 event Crusaders who are missing theirs, with the launch of Carnival of Sorrows.

Kaines' Dinner of Doom is in November.

Ideally we'd like season 2 out before then.

SickoJay,

You can move your account to the Codename Games website at any time, in preparation of the client launch, since you'll need that set-up to log into the launcher once it's available.

It will definitely be out before December, so we can have a seamless transition, but as noted, our priority currently is season 2 and the Tier 6 events.

I meant low 1e15, or lower-case q, quadrillion Idols.

Hi, Erika. Some were wanting to make sure, capitalized Q means quintillion or e18, right?

Need more coffee. Also, player asked with a capital Q in their question.

I did mean low 1e15 or lower-case q Idols.

Salute, Erica!)

Linking the passage of a new TIR to DPS looks quite normal. The only problem is that if you don't devote all your free time to the game, then in the intervals between events there is almost no time left for standard campaigns (between earning idols on freeplay). There are probably people who cannot play at work, or they have families and other hobbies. I lead this to the fact that next year it is not necessary to tie the seventh TIR to 1e600 and higher.

And I also expect that this year at least part of what you wanted to do will be done - RoboSatan, increasing the number of EP in missions, decoupling legendary effects on objects from specific crusaders (except for those that were in the same TIR with them, such as Momma and Turkeys) and something new to replace the Gardeners of the Galaxy.

And as always - huge gratitude for the chests.

Hi dimitrius5naj,

We feel that most veterans who will be tackling the events will already have To Infinity and Beyond completed, and those players approaching events, if they are doing more than just the current Tier, can know what to expect and aim to complete that objective before another event or two comes around. Tier 6 of events isn't really meant for a brand-new player to reach.

I do still hope to increase the number of EP missions at some point.

I'll add the vote for the RoboSatan skin, and we'll see what happens.

The Legendary items that require additional Crusader might be reviewed as time allows.

We are not replacing the Gardeners of the Galaxy event. It will run as normal for Tier 6.

Cheers.

Hi, Erika.

How are things? I hope that everyone in the Office, and their Families are keeping safe, and healthy. I just hit 5 Trillion, this morning, I think it was. From my Morning Rest, off of yesterday's Second Run, I assume.

I know that I asked about this before, but it's in relation to "Hot Keys/Sticky Keys". I remember it stopped working, and I asked what happened, and you told me that it was an issue, with "Flash". But seeing as we'll be moving away, from "Flash", is there any chance that Kevin will give us back that "Feature"??? It was the Hot Keys not interfering with the Sticky ones, the x10, x25, and x100 Leveling.

Hi DJ Casper,

Things are relatively well in the office.

Congratulations on 5 trillion Idols.

We won't be moving away from Flash. The Codename Games launcher and the Steam version of Crusaders use Adobe Air, which allows computers to run Flash.

We don't currently have plans to look into the sticky keys issue.

I think I asked this already, but: Vehicle Mode skin for the Desert Bus, please.

I believe you have already asked for it as well. I'll add another vote to the item. :)

Hey Erika,

At the moment it seems that there is no option to link accounts out of Miniclip. Will this function be added until the end of the year or will we have to create a ticket for it?

Hi Jothda,

Please put in a ticket for this.

Hey Erika,

Thank you for the code!

What other characters are on the short list to be added as DLC?

For the next Tier 6 events after Carnival of Sorrows will it follow the same format that you will have needed to complete the Tier 3 objective on Ghostbeard's Greed? Or will the next ones require others of the 11th Tier 3 objectives to be completed?

Hi DwarfinKing,

You're welcome for the code.

Ana, Tiernan and Oona would be on my shortlist for future DLC additions.

Depending on how Tier 6 Carnival of Sorrows goes, all Tier 6 events will require having at least completed To Infinity and Beyond in order to complete most of the objectives.

My idea for the dungeon pass(and also eventually could be used for other things) would be something similar to an idol buff, but for materials. So while the material buff is active, all chests opened give 2x more mats(or some other amount, I'm not sure). With idols not really providing much of a DPS increase anymore, materials are generally the easier way to raise DPs, and since people are spending more time doing deep runs in the dungeon, they are getting far fewer materials than before.

If it isn't too hard to code, and you don't want to provide an "unfair" advantage to the people that have been hoarding chests for months/years, you could make it so that the material buff only applies to the chests that drop while it's active, instead of chests opened while it's active, maybe call them silver+ chests and JC+ chests or something.

A buff for more materials, cool cool.

Given the amounts of chests some players have hoarded, it would likely not apply to chest openings, but we can play around with where it would make sense.

Hi Erika, thanks for the chest. You must get tired of saying "you're welcome" so don't worry about that!

For the dungeon rewards, I'd like to see:

  • For the maximum level: permanent buffs (e.g. +10% speed permanently, +5% rubies permanently, -1% idol cost for talents, etc., like T11 objectives give)
  • A token that can be redeemed for a skin or event crusader or simply sold for a large amount of rubies (depending on what the player already has)
  • A special taskmaster that can only press the 'buy all upgrades' and 'buy all levels' buttons

By the way, I swear I remember seeing a 'draw your own monster' feature… did I just hallucinate that? What happened to it?

Hi Ignis_Umbrae,

  • I like the idea of a permanent buff for for spawn speed, and the rubies one could be fun. The cost reduction for Talents might be a bit tricky, unless it auto-respeced your Talents to 0 when you claimed it, so you could rebuy everything at the reduced cost.

  • The skin token idea is cool, and would probably be easy given we have the base 20 Crusader skin token already (but then I'm not a developer, so maybe not.) The event Crusader token one would be harder, since it wouldn't be valued the same by all players, and would require a store where you can actually buy event Crusaders...worth noting down though.

  • We won't be making taskmasters that click those buttons.

The create your own monster feature was the April Fools 2020 update.

Hi! Thanks for the codes! I think about the game all the time and have some questions!

  1. When will it be possible to delete saved formations?
  2. Will the mission menu be updated to make it clearer and to be able to accept all completed missions at once?
  3. When new talents!!! :D
  4. Will it be possible to get the previous Desert Bus Crusaders?
  5. Sprint extension to 5000 arena? :o

Damn, the rest just fell out of my head, well, I'll probably remember in a week

Hi rafcio39,

You're welcome for the codes.

1) It's not something we're planning on adding, but I'll note down it was requested.

2) It's on the radar but I don't have an ETA.

3) We're focused on Season 2 and Tier 6 Carnival of Sorrows, so no ETA for new Talents, but definitely on my radar.

Edit

4) If we continue the trend we've done in the years past, then yes, they will likely be available with the new Crusader as well.

5) I'm thinking more Sprint will be a Talent at the moment, but that could be subject to change.

Anything you can tell us about

  1. When will there be new talents?
  2. What will they be generally related to DPS, Idol gain, Missions?
  3. Will the new talents cost start at Trillion or Q?
  4. Will the mysterious new feature, related to chests, come with its own related mission(s)?

Hi Legitimate-Guitar786,

1) New talents will be coming out, but the main focus right now is Dungeons season 2, so no ETA on the Talents.

2) Talents would be related to DPS, most likely, and some extra sprint potentially.

3) Probably in the low Q due to the current Idol numbers on hand for players.

4) We may add related missions for it.

Hi billyjoe99,

The saving Jeweled chests is optional, depending on how many you're able to earn. So if you don't feel you earn them quickly enough, you might want to save some. The rubies is the more important one, which is why it's highlighted.

You're welcome for the code.
