Is it possible to extend events with a few extra days? With challenges, dungeons and campaigns I can't finish them in time.

Crusaders is actually an anomaly when it comes to events. Most of the games I've been playing recently have events run from 3 to 7 days.

We aren't planning on changing the length of events at this point, and if we did change the length, we'd have to adjust the currency earned passively per day down to match the new length.

That said, the Christmas event will continue the tradition of having a couple extra days to complete it.

Sorry, no partial stacks for Matt's Cryo Freeze.

Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for the chests!

Kaala Rigel is my new favorite fluffy crusader. I love the shades of blue and purple, especially the deep blue bamboo legendary. I love the moon and stars floating behind her and getting to sleep on a fluffy pillow atop a fluffy cloud (It's my childhood dream! lol). But color me surprised to see an angel tag on her instead of an animal tag!

We're actually Canadian, but a Happy Thanksgiving to all our American players. :D

You're welcome for the chests.

I'll pass the Kaala art feedback to Kat. Given Kaala is a blue red panda floating on a cloud, and seat 36 needed an Angel tag, that's the tag that Kaala got.

Hey, are you going to remove the "beta" warning on the launch page of the game ? It's been there for years.

Maybe one day, maybe not. Depends on if we ever do another Steam build.

The game is a live service game though, so even with the removal of the Beta tag, there will still be updates, number changes and bugs (and bug fixes), until we put the game in maintenance mode.

Erica, hello!
I remember you promised three things:
1) that non-binary will also be counted among the tags that do not enhance synergy.
2) that non-binary will somehow interact with Victor's vampirism (possibly with the help of the fifth rune).
3) that you will arrange a sale of new skins, where "possibly" there will be an evil robo-Santa. That was a long time ago.
Is there any progress, or, as the Russian proverb says, "they wait for the promised three years"?
Thanks for the code!

Hi dimitrius5naj,

You're welcome for the code.

I'll add your votes to the items on the suggestion list and we'll see what happens.

We're trying to get ahead on art for the Christmas break, so any skin store updates will be happening in 2022.

Greetings Erika.

Was wondering, how many requests in the ticket system do you get on avg a week?

And as a followup, and I know you have said no, because it would generate more tickets.

But could we get the option to turn off all the number spam, nobody can read what it says anyway, and perhaps even the coins dropping

I would gladly pay 5k, 10k, 25k or 100k rubies for it, that way you could also make sure that only people who understand what they buy/use and can in effect slam them if they afterwards put in a ticket

Hi Bazzturd,

Most of the tickets are just bugs. Only a handful of them tend to be game requests in a given week.

Thank you for another request for turning off the gold numbers. I'll add your vote to the item on the list.

Cheers!

Hey Erika!

Thanks for the chests as always!

I gotta say, Kaala looks so adorable :3 But I have one request: Could Kaala's headrune be changed into upgrading something else in her kit please? (Or boost something on top of buffing "Alluriade Sleepover") It is sadly utter garbage right now, as it just increases critchance, which is honestly a laughable headrune bonus at this stage of the game.

Hi Daurakin,

You're welcome for the chests.

The Passive Criticals talent converts Critical Click chance to a DPS bonus, and Kaala's rune is in line with the power of other head runes, so we're not planning on changing it at the moment.

There's no set date for the Tier 5 11ths, but I would like to get them out before the holiday break.

Hey! Some questions about QoL stuff. Will there be some increase in the amount of chests one can open in one go, or just an 'open all'? Similarly for missions, will it ever be possible to just finish all missions with the click of one button?

For repetitive tasks such as opening 100K chests, I am tempted to use an autoclicker. What is your opinion on this kind of automation?

Also, thanks for the game and all that stuff. I'm quite happy with the recent changes in dungeon rewards, making progress does feel quite rewarding this season.

Hi Verslizzle,

No, there will never be an open all chests button. Opening in batches of 100, 400 or 500 at a time is the way to open the chests. That said, coming in the new year, we'll have a way to help players with their chest piles that will hopefully be kinder to the servers.

The complete all missions request comes up fairly frequently, but we likely wouldn't do a complete all all missions option, more just a complete all of one type option.

It's a single player game, so we're not against the use of an auto-clicker, but if it causes harm to the servers, we may ban your account. And any issues that arise from using 3rd party software to play or edit the game may not be corrected.

I'm glad you're enjoying the changes to the season rewards.

Cheers!

Hi, Erika. Thanks for the chest code.

I want to express my appreciation for the changes to the point yields for deeper runs in dungeons. I've been able to shift my pattern of running to go back to longer runs without feeling punished for it, and it's helped make things feel much more relaxed and enjoyable.

Hi DoctorNovakaine,

You're welcome for the chests.

I'm glad to hear the dungeon changes have made it more relaxing.

Cheers!

Just unlocked the panda, I am a little confused by the description of the bamboo collection and zoo break. They say the buffs "stack" but is this additive or multiplicative? Also a minor annoyance, but the bamboo collection seems to count by projectiles thrown. Would be really nice if it also showed how many stacks it is granting (if it is multiplicative).

The buffs stack additively, otherwise we would have called out multiplicatively.

We can either display the count to the next stack, or the total stacks. If players prefer the total stacks, we can swap to showing that.

7 years, and still having fun! very fun stuff!! thanks for keeping crusaders alive, even during covid-19!

I think we're feeling a little currency bloated at the moment, but we'll keep other gems in mind if we ever do have a good use for more.

Thank you for playing Crusaders for that long. I'll pass it along to the team as well. :)
