You could start with 8 available formation slots.
That definitely would be a challenge for generating power. :)

Any progress on removing the 'waiting for server' lag with sending and ending every mission? Know you tried once, but did you give it up as impossible, or is there yet hope?
Still hope. We'll have a revisited fix going out with the event today.
Read moreErica, hello!
The new season pleases with new and interesting tasks, if not for one "but" - the same binding to the crusaders of the previous levels. Will this continue in the future?
There is a noticeable tendency to tie players to the judicious use of abilities. Will Savage Strikes have the same binding?
What are the plans for the new 11 campaign rewards?
After the introduction of Morrigan, she became the ultimate crusader, where the debuffs from the escort critically reduce the formation speed / DPS. But, unfortunately, it cannot be applied everywhere. Is it possible to introduce as a reward for campaign 11, or as a separate talent, such an ability for Alchemy as reducing the effectiveness of the debuff from escort? If it is introduced as a talent, then it can be broken down into several levels, up to a 95% reduction.
And finally - in formations where the crusaders are constantly changing places with each other due to roaming escorts - is it possible to ...
Hi dimitrius5naj,
I'm glad you're enjoying the new season.
There will probably be a talent or a Crusader who wants activation of Savage Strikes at some point. Nothing currently planned.
It has been suggested that there be higher Tier Crusaders who cast the active abilities, so that may happen, and cause some formation shifts.
The Tier 5 11th rewards will include some cap increases and some other mild bonuses.
We don't plan on having Morrigan's power as a talent because that would kind of defeat the purpose of having debuffs on objectives. Morrigan is just a fun one-off.
I think it's only the objectives with major bench changes that would wipe all the Crusaders from the formation when the areas change. I believe most of them just shuffle your Crusaders around otherwise, swapping Crusader and escort. As objectives tend to be a one-time thing, and we're trending to making the areas between changes longer, I don't see us making further ch...
Read moreHi Erica, I've been a player for a while, but don't comment much.
I have a question that's been bugging me for a while:
When will the Beta disclaimer go away? This game sure seems pretty stable and tested.
Hi ChemicalArtim,
Thank you for playing Crusaders and coming out to the Q&A.
If we ever have to do another launcher build for Steam, the disclaimer would probably go away, as the CNE launcher version doesn't have it on the start screen.
Even with the disclaimer removed, Crusaders is a live-service game, so there would still be changes to numbers, updates, bugs and fixes up until the game goes into maintenance mode.
Arcane Geodes are really rare. Is ther a shop where we can buy them?
They're meant to be rare, so they just drop from missions and from the dungeon rewards, and as bonuses in the various real money packs.
But we'll keep the request in mind to have them available for in-game currency in a shop.
Hi Erika, thanks for all your hard work! A question regarding the Dr. Theo Taskmaster pack -- after November 30, will this no longer be available?
Hi Round_Association_70,
You're welcome! I'll pass it along to the team. :D
The Dr. Theo taskmaster pack will still be available after November 30th.
That cut off is just when we'll total up all of Codename's proceeds from the pack sales and make our donation to the Extra Life campaign as part of our fundraising drive.
Is there a new campaign in development?
I would like to add campaign 10 at some point, but I haven't started any planning on what it would look like yet.
Hi Erika.
Thanks for the code
In the QOL area, something could be done in the mission screen to ease the selection or filtering of crusaders. The bottom scroll bar is a bit annoying when scrolling through 150+ saders! I have no specific proposal at the moment
And in the same area, do you think it could be possible to have a way to change the crusader skin from that same screen? Every now and then, I want to select a given crusader for a given tag, but got myself in the problem that I have to quit the screen, change the skin of the sader, to eventually come back in the mission window and start the selection from scratch again.
Hi levesqmi,
You're welcome for the code. :)
Making the mission screen easier to navigate is something that comes up from time to time. I do like the idea of clicking on a required tag for the mission to sort the list with those tagged Crusaders first.
And changing skins on the mission screen has been coming up recently as well.
We'll keep the ask in mind and see if we can schedule time to make some improvements.
Cheers!
Suggestion: I've heard why we haven't gotten many bots in awhile is that your artist doesn't like drawing them. How about non-traditional bots, would that be more interesting to draw? IE a wooden bot like Animatronio from Futurama or Wooden Bender from Obsoletely Fabulous (also Futurama) or an organic-computer-based alien robot? IDK. (Just having the Domo Arigato challenge rubbed in the lack of recent robots a bit, so I thought I'd suggest something). Ancient (stone or wooden) or alien (organic) robots are less done and could be more interesting . . . IDK that's all I have to say right now.
Hi Bcadren,
That's certainly a way to tackle the robots issue. We did give Langley their robot skin recently, and it's now available from the Skin Store if players missed getting it during the event.
Like most of the rarer tags, with there only being the 17 events and now the dungeon Crusaders, it can take a while to build up the ranks of the various tags.
Hey. What do you guys think of making an NFT game with the same mechanics as Cotli? Like you could buy random NFTs and they'd fight for you etc...
That's certainly an idea, but we'll just be keeping Crusaders as it is currently.
Hi Erika,
Thanks for the code :)
Any updates on the new chest opening system?
Thanks, Nerdz
Hi Nerdz,
The new chest opening system is not coming this year, but it's still on the schedule.
If you want to hoard chests until it debuts, then you've got some time to stock up.
Cheers!
Thanks for the code and all of your hard work as always <3
You're welcome. I'll pass it along to the team.
Thank you for playing Crusaders. <3
Erika,
are there any plans, or thought about giving us Missions, for the Dungeon Coins?
Hi DJ-Casper,
No plans for another source of Dungeon Coins at this time, but it is a request that has come up on occasion, and we'll keep it in mind.
Cheers!
Welcome Crusaders!
Before we begin: I hope you're all staying safe and being kind.
For those of you who are joining us for the first time, I'm Erika, the Live Services Manager for Crusaders of the Lost Idols, and I will do my best to answer your Crusaders questions. This Q&A is so you know where to find one of the team to chat Crusaders weekly.
I will be answering questions live for the first hour and then checking back throughout the week.

Read more External link →Question Erika for the 2 new achievements added. Is the achievement DPS boost truly 1% since the previous 3 Tier 5 bosses or spawns were 75% DPS boost achievements?
Should be the 75%. We'll get those new achievements updated.
Can we get a faq on how to get donations going for obtaining desert bus based characters?
So, donations are now live on the Desert Bus Crusaders webpage.
From now until they stop their livestream (ending date varies based on money raised), you can donate from any of the 4 donation buttons near the bottom of the Crusaders page, and then once you've donated, you should receive an email to the email address associated with the donation which will contain a code to redeem in the game for the Crusaders.
Hi Erika,
The lag is any time. I have tried different times of day and early mornings seem to be when it works better. I leave the game running almost always. I have tried restarting the game and then going to runes, but that doesn't help.
My missions are fine lol!
Thanks!
Thanks for the details. I've noted them on our item for taking a pass at the rune screen.
Those are some awesome parties! Thank you everyone for all the submissions!
Congratulations!
You can now redeem PUMP-KINP-ARTY-2021 for a 3 day long 25% Idol buff redeemable by all players. The code expires on Friday December 3rd, 2021 at Noon Pacific Time (UTC-8.)
Stay tuned for a new colouring sheet next week!
