Hi ropus1,

A bit of future planning from past us that ended up tripping us up, but will be fixed with the Nate Before Christmas event push this week.

For the new chest opening mechanic that will debut next year and you are telling us that if we want to horde chests for it to do so, will it work on any type of chest or only silver chests? I would prefer if it worked for any chests and not just one type.

Just Silver chests at the moment, since those stack up quicker, but if it works out, we may expand it to normal Jeweled chests as well.

Maybe 2022 will be the year of the mission revamp update. We'll see.

Thanks for the vote!

Hi All,

So it looks like the newsletter code was giving out the wrong chest this weekend, the Tier 7 Christmas Jeweled chest, instead of the Magical Girl Weekend Jeweled chest.

So here's a code for the Magical Girl chest: MAGI-CGIR-LWEE-KEND

Since anyone can use it, it expires on Dec. 31st, 2021 at 11:30pm Pacific Time (UTC-8.)

Cheers!

That may be so, but BCadren is still correct in his observation that EP Rune enabled Crusaders will always outpace non-EP rune in the long run, since EP-runed crusaders always have EP runes, by definition, where this is not the case, obviously for non-EP-rune crusaders. Because of this, as the missions screen is programmed, it will always put EP-rune crusaders off screen, prioritizing the "low EP" crusaders that meet the tag criteria for the EP missions.

 

In the long run you are always "fighting" the mission screen, as the EP-runed crusaders that you want to use are some indeterminate amount of clicking off to the right, as the game keeps pushing the lower-EP non-EP-rune crusaders.

 

This should be familiar to anyone who plays regularly. The mission screen could really use a well thought out redesign. This is obviously not a new issue and has been on the list for years now. BCadren's suggestion to make Gold and EP runes combined would at least...

Fair point. Thank you for the extra thoughts on the request. I'll add it to the item on our suggestion list.

Hi Erika, thank you for the code!

Will the area achievements for the different tier dungeon objectives be "decoupled" from season 5? It would be very annoying to play all this T2 and T3 objectives up to area 20000 just for the achievement within the next weeks... especially when such a nice dungeon point buff is in place ;-).

Hi Jothda,

You're welcome for the code.

Yes, the achievements will be decoupled from season 5 (I'm not naming 100+ achievements every season >.>), but it might not happen before season 5 is over. We'll see what Wilson's time shakes out as in the next little while.

Are going to be added new skins for the old style crusaders at least just for make them look well in the modern style? Some crusaders like early Tier 1 still don't have an alternative or reworked art.

Also the original cast of crusaders can have their skins in the skin shop?

Thanks for your attention.

The Tier 1 event Crusaders may eventually get skins. We do hope to do at least 1 skin for every Crusader, if possible.

The base 20 Crusaders aka Original Crusaders have their skin drop from the normal Jeweled chests. We don't plan on putting them in the skin store.

Cheers. :)

Hi Erika,

Faster challenges, please, especially now with e3400. Don't just put sprint in, because people will go to 8500 and then bail. Make it that we have fun pushing deeper. How? I'll let you handle that, you're the pro.

Thanks!

Hi rjakubec,

Faster challenges, noted!

Cheers. :)

But there should be other alternatives to them in challenges. I was thinking in the skip a phase talent. Have it boosted ONLY in challenges but outside there that increased change wouldn't work.

Something like Phase Skip was one of the options we were considering when discussing how to speed up challenges.

  1. this morning only 1 ruby mission, an old one. So they butchered the CD's AGAIN... I've done the 11th maybe 3-4 days ago, can't even remember any more and every day getting 4 ruby missions except today. I am supposed to get 4 ruby missions per day but that's not happening, because of the CD's you've given to the ruby missions and especially to the new ruby missions that were added with the T5 11th. When I did the T5 11th that gives 1 more Ruby slot mission and 5 new Ruby missions, I had to wait more than 10 hours for the new ruby slot and misson to get unlocked/appear... This is NOT FUN...

  2. We are supposed to get 4-6 Point missions per day, BUT many days we get only 2: 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. Many times we get 3 point missions per day instead of 4-6. There are 10 Point missions total, so where are they? All or most missions no matter old or new or future ones are bugged and/or made incorrect, so they either are on too long CD and/or bugged.

Thank you for taking the time to write out your thoughts on the mission system.

I've added it to our suggestion list for what to improve with the mission system when we have a chance to look into updating it.

HI Erika,

Thanks for all the new Tier 5 11's. I like the different additions (rewards)!

Hope you have fun plans for the break.

Hi LC125,

You're welcome for the Tier 5 11ths! Glad you're enjoying them. :)

Definitely going to try and not think about work for the break if possible, heh. Hope you have good holidays as well. :)

I think someone mentioned that before but seeing how now exist a deeper DPS cap the challenges without sprint mode feel very boring and slow to do.

Can we at least have a talent that increase the chance to skip only in challenges?

Or have the sprint mode unlocked in challenges soon as a 11th objective or a additional talent?

Thank you for the vote on the speed of challenges.

We're not going to add sprint flat out, but we do have plans for speeding up them.

hi,

can we please get sprint mode for challenges? with the new e3400 dps cap, challenges take so long they become boring.

even if sprint was 50% it's usual distance it would be a great help.

Hi Halaberd85,

Thank you for the vote on the speed of challenges.

We're not going to add sprint flat out, but we do have plans for speeding up them.

You're welcome for the code.

Thanks! I'll pass it along to the team, and happy holidays to you and yours as well. :)

Suggestion: Combine the Gold Mission and EP Mission 4th slot runes into one; because they are never active at the same time and they cause the crusaders that have the gold mission version to lagggg in the EP department with the mission's autosorting to try to send lowest EP on mission for EP; it kinda makes everyone lagggg a little.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll add it to the list to consider and we'll see what happens.

The EP mission runes increase the EP for every Crusader sent on the mission, not just the Crusader they're equipped on.

Hey Erica, thank you for the weekly updates.

Are you aware of the FP Bonus Idol scaling (or lack thereof) after area10,000? Now that we have double FP sprinting and the ability to get to 10,000 quickly, are there plans to improve the way bonus idols scale after this point to make these runs competitive with dungeon idol runs (at least to a point beyond about 1e19)?

Hi TrezRenla,

You're welcome for the updates.

A player did mention that the bonus boss idol drops remain the same number from area 10,000 to their new area cap, and it's on the list to investigate why that is. They are supposed to keep increasing at the new scaling we introduced earlier this year.

It's not currently in the plans, but we may make the free play competitive with dungeon runs in future. We'll see what happens.

Did I see in a previous discussion that help was on the way for opening chests? I stopped opening them waiting for this, and they are piling up. Thx.

Yup, help is on the way next year. Just gave an early heads up, in case players want to stockpile their chests for the update, instead of worrying about opening them regularly.

Ooh, runes!

Just to clarify, the giveaway is for this Q&A, right?

Anyways, I'd like to request that the flat e50 DPS reward be changed to more Dungeon Point missions. They're one of the categories that could do with some bonus missions, and it really does help lower-level players.

The giveaway for the runes will be for comments in next week's reddit Q&A, so the one on the 16th.

Thank you for the suggestion on a possible change to the reward that replaces the e50 DPS reward. I'll make a note.

I am super excited to hear that you decided to do another dungeon point buff towards the end of the season. I know it was originally going to just be an anniversary thing, but it is appreciated!

You're welcome. :)

It makes a nice holiday present.
