Is there a deadline for claiming season 1 rewards? Ideally I'd like to wait for the start of season 2 to claim the buffs.

I don't believe there's a deadline, but if there is it would be when season 2 starts.

Do you have a rough idea how much JC and Rubies we have to keep or is a more we have better it is?

The more you have the better.

So does that mean if i load the game after the 4 days are over, it can come an hour later or 2 hours later, or only every 24 hours on reloading? It makes a big difference if it can spawn once a day after reloading, or basicly any hour between the 4 and 7 days.

The game will choose a number, so say 5 days.

The flash sale will only show up if you reload the game, and the 5 days, or longer, have passed.

So if you reload the game at say 4 days 23 hours, and then don't reload it for another 24 hours, then yeah, you're potentially affecting future flash sale timers, since there won't be an end time on the sale until you load the game and start the timer.

Poor choice of words.

Once a player has reached level 25, and is collecting extra points, we're looking at something to do with those excess points, as an addition in a future season, not necessarily season 2. We'll see what happens.

Will the crypt return to get the achievement done or will it stick there never to be completed?

If you didn't achieve it, we'll be hiding it from your list of achievements.

Hello,

Yes, I understand that Carmen and Petunia's level up button does not affect Xygallix.

I know I can automatically click on Xygallix's Level up button and that its dps. I can use a taskmaster for this.

What I was wanting to know is a way to automatically click on the Hourly Rate button which increases global dps. I cannot use a taskmaster for this; I have to click it manually.

Thanks,

Sophie

Assigning a taskmaster to any Crusader will purchase any upgrade that is available to purchase, if you have enough gold on hand.

Assigning the taskmaster to Xygallix will buy levels of Hourly Rate (an upgrade) and will buy levels on Xygallix, whichever is cheaper at the time it clicks the button.

You don't need a taskmaster assigned just to Hourly Rate.

Hello Erika.

I have a question about Flash Sales:

When i get a Flash Sale and it for X amount of time, i think the reset timer starts when the Flash Sale time ends wether it's bought or not.

But what i wanted to know is if the 4 to 7 day timer is checked once a day or constantly.

As an example: if my flash sale ends at 9PM local time, then i need to wait atleast 4 days after that for a Flash Sale. But does it only check every day @ 9PM, or can it happen at any time after the 4 days are over? Making it usefull to reload every so often to see if you get another Flash Sale.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sjinkogaming,

Yes, the timer until the next sale starts at the time the old sale expired, purchased or not.

The game only triggers a normal flash sale on loading the game, if you're reloading the game after the randomly chosen period in the 4 to 7 day range has passed when its doing the check on load.

Hi Erika, I know that adjusting the game is good and needed. This mid season nerf was much more damaging to those in the middle than to those at the top. Friends who had two to three times the number of idols I had now have 20 to 30 times as many. They also have the amazing idol buff that I had no way to get. Frankly in a depressing world of fires, disease and despots, this has become another depressing place

Hi cschwa,

Thank you for the feedback on the idol changes in the dungeons.

However, there's always going to be a spread between players with idols, since some players just play differently from than others.

Might be too late for season 1, but now that I finally hit level 25...I find that there's no purpose to extra dungeon points. Maybe they could convert to coins?

We're entertaining plans of doing something with dungeon points once a player has completed a season to add to a future season.

Hi again,

From what I see, that works on Carmen & Petunia's "Power of Two", but does not work on Xygallix's "Hourly Rate", it only increases the regular dps.

Thanks,

Sophie

You have to put the taskmaster on Xygallix's level up button, not Carmen and Petunia's level up button.

And Hourly Rate is only designed to buff Global DPS.

Hi Erika,

Do you have any plans to add Ana to the Steam DLC list of crusaders that can be purchased?

Thank you for the Code!

Hi DwarfinKing,

She's on the short-list of Crusaders to add as DLC in the next little while, but I don't have an ETA for her yet.

You're welcome for the code. :)

That's great, I can go opened them now :P

What about my other question? I edited it in so you probably didn't see it :)

We won't be changing the amount of tokens needed to start the event objectives with Tier 6 events.

Friendly reminder that idol gains from dungeon need an adjustment. Ideally in conjunction with a boost to normal idol gains, for instance from a new talent tied to unlocked dungeon levels.

Thanks for the reminder cotlathi.

Any chance we will ever get to have Milgrid in that little drill of hers from her recruit objective? Like as a skin or something?

Hi Environmental_Nerve2,

We weren't planning on giving out her on her drill as a skin, but I'll note down it's been requested. I think it would involve shrinking the sprite, since it does take up multiple slots in its current form.

I also hope you and your loved ones are safe.

Thanks for the chests.

My question: Is it possible to have a little circle to place a Taskmaster to click on Xygallix's and automatically upgrade "Hourly Rate"?

Thanks,

Sophie

Hi Sophie,

They're doing well, thank you for asking. I hope you're all safe too.

If you place a taskmaster on Xygallix, they will keep upgrading Hourly Rate as you have the gold, since taskmasters buy upgrades while on the level up buttons.

Cheers!
