Thank you for your answer. Alas, the pictures on the blog don't feature a lot of angles, and we are left to guess many parts of their design. Eg, for Oona, we can't see the cushion she's sitting on, the back of her wheelchair, or her pants. Any chance we can have more illustrations?

Btw, I forgot to say how thrilled I am that this crusader is disabled! As a disabled person myself (though not in a wheelchair, but still), I find that representation pretty awesome ^{^}

Thanks for checking. I added a "suggestion" as an edit to my post, but it may not have been there when you went to reply. Didn't want you to miss that as I think it'd be helpful as the migration away from Flash gets closer.

Greetings.

In regards to dungeons.

I believe it was mentioned that it was primary for people in endgame, what is endgame for you e14, e16 or more?

And how many do you expect to reach level 25 dungeon in the alloted time?

How many have reached it by now, and how is the spread down the dungeon levels in regards to number of players?

Will we perhaps see another nerf to the dungeon in season 1, since you already nerfed it once?

We saw with the dungoen release here, and have seen it before, that CNE seem to put in things that give the players alot and then nerf it for the worse from a player perspective, is that deliberate?

Why not do it the other way around, release it on the harder side, and then nerf it easier, will make it better for the players I think, and you would not aggrevate the players that much.

Also, why release/nerf things before a weekend/prolonged weekend or holliday, that way you cant react to things if pr...

Hi Erika,

Thanks for the chests. I'm a moderately new player (started during Hermit event). Could you please consider significantly lowering the cool-downs for crusaders and epic recipe missions? At the current rate of mission cooldowns, it will take me over 3 years to collect all new and missing epic recipes without blowing challenge coins on them. I have a decent enough roster that I have plenty of bench crusaders sitting around doing nothing, and I'd love this small catch-up mechanism that should only impact new and mid-tier players.

The starter packs were a great idea, and I've taken advantage of them, but help chasing down Mindy's hat and Imani's belt would be great.

Hi Erika,
you want to keep the percentage gain of total idols on dungeon bonus for next season?
Cause Players idol counts will spread way more then, making it harder to implement reasonable new talents for most players
Wouldn't it be better to have a more linear idol gain for Dungeon Idol Bonus? like:
A percentage of best Bonus Idol drop on FP \ Challenge Tokens earned* from last week?
Additionally you could boost that percentage by a small amount for every 1k/5k dungeon areas reached.
So there would be more variation on objectives to get best idol gain.

-Or you just raise the FP cap by e600+ DPS on next Talents update ..Do ya?!

The Phoenix objective From the Ashes seems way way WAY harder than it should be - like I've taken suggestions from so many people and have failed it -- for a tier 3 objective, it's impressive how awfully hard it is. It's harder than many tier 4 objectives that I have done and in events tier 5 objectives.

At this point I've done nearly every single other tier 4 objective. The furthest I've gotten in From The Ashes is 1324 which just seems laughably poor. I've even done it with Morrigan and I still seem to hit a wall. I'm not sure I even have a point other than... sigh. Sorry. It has been a struggle. 2.23e8 idols, for what it's worth.

Thank you for the chests!

It's probably been suggested before for ideas for Tier 6 talents, but I was thinking maybe a talent that gives a chance to complete a mission instantly?

One month left for Dungeons. Where did the time go...?

Perhaps this has also been asked before but for the next season of Dungeons will we be getting new maps and formations? And will we get to keep our level? (Because I am nowhere near hitting level 25 and I won't be able to given the time limit.)

Hi Erika, thanks for the chests!

Wanted to ask if it was possible to change recruit missions so that they don’t offer crusaders from the next event? I just spent days waiting for my mission to expire because it was for an event crusader right before the event started :( maybe if you get the crusader while you have their recruit mission available the mission automatically switches straight away to a different crusader?

Hope you’re safe.

Hi there! Any chance we could get some pictures of the crusaders from different angles somewhere on the website? Like a gallery or something? I'm trying to get the right colours for the different colourings, but the research is quite tough since the pictures or the characters on the game are pretty small, and they generally don't show much :'(

Hi, Erika. I had a talent idea. Feel free to call it crazy if it is:

-Support Crusaders in the same bench seat as active crusaders contribute X% of their DPS-boosting formation abilities to the formation.

This would only affect abilities that specifically boost DPS (so not Gold Find or other abilities), would not be mimicked or propagated, and positional or tag-based abilities would use the layout of the current formation to determine their effect. It would also exclude equipment. Abilities that stack multiplicatively would have the % applied to the stack value, not the total. I imagine X would end up being no greater than 10% at max level.

I specify Support Crusaders because I think stacking the abilities of DPS Crusaders would get over-the-top. (Jiao and Morrigan would, uh, be a bit nuts as a combo, even at 10% effectiveness.)

It occurs to me that this might not even be mechanically feasible, but I thought it was an interesting idea.

Hey Erika, hope you guys are staying safe!

Had a question regarding the Steam version of the game. In Kongregate, you have the ability to reload just the game portion of the screen without losing chat or the rest of your window (right click on the brown bar at the bottom and reload frame). Is there some way to do the same type of thing in the Steam version? If not, is that something that could happen in the future?

Also, a suggestion. Not everyone reads these Reddit posts nor do they watch the streams (shocking, I know :) ). As the death day for Flash gets closer, you might consider having a periodic pop-up in the game reminding people that the Flash version is going away and a link to give them instructions on how to link to Steam (or your standalone program). Preferably, if such pop-up could suppressed for Steam users, it'd probably be best.

RE: Changes in how the game saves.

If i need to close my browser or reload for any reason, are there any actions that force a save - or event in-game that i can wait for and be sure it's saved. I tried a couple things, but ended up losing progress and changes in formation i'd made with a reload so was just wondering.

Hey Kevin

Couple of questions regarding click damage. With the fifth task master now taking up more screen space and the columns of buffs also eating space, actually using the sniper talent buff is getting very difficult.

Any chance this could be changed to either apply automatically, apply with x number of TMs on the field or just allow it to register through the buffs and TMs?

One emergent feature of the game is that over time, the best crusader to use for deep runs may change occasionally when a new crusader comes in who is clearly better (usually the ones in the highest slots/newest). This leads to somewhat repetitive gameplay. There is now a mechanism which encourages doing different free plays at least, which is something. Perhaps we need mechanisms to encourage multiple lead crusaders too.

One idea towards that goal is a concept of crusader fatigue. Say if a crusader has been highest DPS in a formation for long enough (time or number of levels cleared perhaps) then they become fatigued and need to be rested for the next 24/48 hours. Leave them their formation abilities but disable their DPS only, optionally, or just don't let them be used at all.

Another idea along those lines is to have the weekend events do more than trivially buff 5 crusaders (even when I started, those buffs were never good enough to merit changing for...

Hi Kevin,
I would like to bring up the issue of the cluttered mission crusader tray. It would be so nice if there was a little tray of tags under the crusaders that we could click to sort our way to a particular crusader. The favorites system doesn't work through refreshing and doesn't always apply for each particular mission. If I could say, click a combination of tags and have only saders shown that fit those tags, it would be much easier to get to the one I want to send. After collecting so many saders, it becomes a grueling process to get over the underdeveloped saders to get to the ones that you want to make stronger, like the ones that are full E or L or a dps slotter. Please prioritize some type of fix to ease the mission interface.

Thanks,

Ginnae
