Hi Erika,

can the reward for the last mission of the events be changed back to a crusader skin? A level 7 rune is a nice thing, but new skins added so much new possibilites for challenges. Of course the creation of new skins is a time consuming process for Kat, but I hope there is some way to get at least a few more than the last months...

Hi Jothda,

That's not a change we would do mid-way through the event cycle, but we'll keep it in mind for tier 8 events.

Hi, Erica. Glad to see (read xD) you again. Hope, you and your team are full of ideas and you're motivated enough to bring us more pleasure and updates in our great game. The question is when do you plan to run a new Dungeon season?

And, answering your question about crusader without skin - Springy, the Patchwork Plush.

Hi Gerundij,

I'll pass it along to the team. :)

As short a break between seasons as we can is the idea.

Thanks for the Springy skin vote. :)

Thanks for the code and I hope you guys had a good break. I also hope that the streams can start up again, been looking forward to them but they keep getting cancelled.

Though I could ask a lot of stuff, I'll probably just stick with any changes planned for the next batch of dungeons? How long do you guys think the dungeon break will be this time? Also any eta for the chest opening thing you guys have been teasing for a while? Thanks for your time.

The break was good, thank you.

We did want to restart the stream this past Tuesday but Kat was unavailable. We should be able to do a stream on the 18th though.

We'll be changing the Playing Old School formation for season 6, and trying to make Sprint not the best way to earn points. Also, changing the dialog, so the bonus levels past level 25 don't make players stressed about so many levels of rewards to complete.

Trying to have the break as short as possible. I'll know more once Wilson starts on the changes to the dialog.

The chest opening thing is on the deck for this quarter after Carnage Cup and season 6.

Hi Erika,

I've been playing for almost a year, started back in April for the alien invasion. I'm starting to wonder what is the point to get huge dps numbers if the sprint meta is so efficient. FP is easilly capped and in dungeon, there is no big rewarding reason to push to your limit. Is there anything in your design philosophy that will address it or should I consider the game "won" at this point?

For a Crusader that doesn't have a skin yet, which skin would you like to see as a reward from season 6 of the Dungeons?

Zuczek!

Hi Nerdz,

We'll keep tweaking the dungeons to make having more power a good thing and we'll see what happens.

Zuczek skin vote noted!

I don't have a question, I just wanted to say thanks for adding clarification to the runes that affect the power given by legendary items (like Emo Werewolf's legendary cape)!

You're welcome! I'm glad it's helping. :)

Hey Erika,

Any tips/advice for beating Tropical Flower Walk?

Hi Cassius,

Just making the best possible formation with all the Flora Crusaders available to you.

If you're really struggling, then looking at changing around Runes and Legendary gear, and maybe a couple of idol farms to get some other Talents purchased.

There’s a bug atm where a dungeon starts at a random level, a few people and myself have been saying about it on the discord, starting a level 4 and it changes itself to level 1 or 2

Thank you for the report.

That should have been fixed last night. Have you reloaded the game and tried starting a dungeon objective recently?

Hi Erika, just a comment. The new crusader is really neat and I like the new signature mechanic to get mats directly, skipping the whole chest process.

 

There might be ways to use it to generate a bit more mats than you had initially anticipated, or maybe it is intended, hard to tell. Either way, I'd encourage you to really think about it before you adjust or"nerf" it, as it would inevitably be called. We've looked at the numbers, and while it definitely speeds up mat generation a lot, it really isn't broken in any sense.

 

Since Legendaries scale to level 20, the numbers look like if a player was able to 24/7 the game in sprint only with a "max mat generation" formation, they could generate enough mats for a single L20 in about 3 months (6 months if they only play a "more reasonable" 12 hours a day). Given the game has room for 350+ Legendary pieces of gear, and growing, getting one maxed out every 3 to 6 months is not actually a big deal....

Hi bippyarg,

I think we're OK with the numbers from Springy, as legendary items do cost a lot to get those last few levels, and the number of legendary items will keep growing as we continue to add Crusaders.

If players want to grind that hard for materials, that's up to them, and who knows, it may be the case where it ends up being the decision between materials and idols, we'll see how it shakes out.

Maybe someday. I'll add your vote to the item on the suggestion list and we'll see what happens.

Are there plans in the works to create a crusader who makes Christmas cookies? Or was that just a cruel interwebs prank rumour?

That must have been a cruel interwebs rumour, though that does sound like a more fun April Fool's joke than Squiggles everything....like having monsters or Crusaders randomly be cookies....hmm....

Thank you for the chests as always. Have a Merry Christmas! Hoping there are more options with rubies. Such things as idol buffs, golden epics, etc. Right now for moderate level to experienced level players, there isn't an option (other than weekly runic chests) for rubies. The ruby to jeweled chest ratio is not beneficial.

Enjoy your well deserved time off!

You're welcome for the chests. :)

We're hoping to have more regular skin store updates in 2022, and I'll add your vote to the more ruby items suggestion on our request list.

Merry Christmas! :)

Happy holidays. :)

We'll do our best to make it more idly, but players do like to be efficient, and efficiency does tend to involve slightly more active play.
