It counts. :D
Hey Erika!
Sorry for the late questions.
1) The change to deep point runs and the new rune placements are both much better! I like them :)
2) Just curious if something has happened with your servers (at least for those in Northern Europe)? I'm getting a lot of "searching for loot" issues, whilie the "level all Crusaders" button and completing missions now take AGES to finish. I dunno if those are things related to servers in the first place but... what's going on? It's a tad bit frustrating to be honest.
3) Forgot to mention earlier: Matt the Astronaut is great! :)
4) Sorry for nagging on this particular thing from time to time but... any plans on making a Robot Crusader soon (and fewer Animals, there's honestly too many of those by now)? Last one we got was Ysjorgnak (and then arguably the skin for Langley). I know Kat hates making them but still... maybe make an android one so she doesn't have to care about drawing actual robots :D
Hi Daurakin,
No worries. Thank you for stopping by. :)
1) Glad it's helping.
2) When we tried putting out the update yesterday, that made the servers rather hot so we pulled back the update and Wilson is reinvestigating the waiting for server pop-up for missions issues. The Buy Max buttons have to check all the Crusaders on the bench, so they're always going to be a bit slow, but I'll flag it for a pass at some point.
3) Oh nice. Yeah, Matt seems to be going over well with the community.
4) Nothing planned currently for a Robot add, but I'll keep the request in mind.
Cheers!
Hi,
Thanks for all y'all do!!
I've been having problems with runes for a few months now. every time I go into the rune menu it lags very bad or freezes up completely forcing me to cntrl+alt+del to kill the app. both my bf and I play on identical laptops though he plays on steam and I play thru your app. he has no issues with the runes page.

Hi Laurie,
The lag on the rune screen has been coming up, but we haven't had a chance to look into it yet. Wilson has been tackling the slow mission calls when not working on updates at the moment.
Is it any time you open the rune screen while the game is open? Or is it more laggy to open the rune screen right on loading the game, or after you've been playing the game a while?
Thanks for the code! I hope you are all having a good holiday season.
You're welcome for the chest code. :)
Most of the folks in the office did have a good Halloween, though some felt they didn't get enough spooky time.
Damn tech troubles.
And yes, I meant a superhero skin for Casey. I didn't know she already had one. (Like I said, I don't have her).
A superhero skin would be neat. I'll pass it along to Kat for her list of skin choices.
Casey has a Swamp Thing inspired Flora skin. :)
If you already have some of the Desert Bus Crusaders and donate again, do you get any materials or anything for those that you already had? It's fine if the answer is no, just curious (I'm donating either way as it's a great cause, and it's time to show them some love again).
You get the crafting materials for the gear being replaced if you're upgrading or being a duplicate if you're buying Epic again for the Crusaders you already own.
Just a thank you for listening to the players and adjusting deep points runs and rune rewards. Keep up the good work.
You're welcome. :)
Read moreThe scaling you've made this season isn't sufficient for rewards (points, coins) and the reward track to 100). The dungeons are made for me, I am an endgame player and I, and many others spend MUCH more resources and get MUCH less rewards as points, coins and the reward track with the disgusting scaling you've made for this season. The meta for this season thanks to the disgusting scaling wastes much more resources than earning. A run costs 50 coins, we get much less coins as a reward per run together with the points. Which means that we can't play the game as the scaling requires us and we can't play the game as we would like to, efficiently... So, there is no way that we can reach level 100 on the reward track, nor to buy the items from the dungeon shop, because we don't get rewarded for playing, we get PUNISHED A LOT! With even more items added to the dungeon shop the problems will be only increasing with the present scaling, etc.
You also said that you will bring the re...
Thank you for the feedback on the season so far.
We changed the point scaling so that there is some more benefit to going deeper.
The rune rewards have been moved down from level 70 and above, and we added 2 extra rune rewards to the reward track, with version .309.
There are also the dungeon points missions in the mission system to help with earning points this season.
We don't currently plan on making any further changes for season 5.
There will be the 100% dungeon points buff making a return for over the holidays.
Ooh, code!
Is there any chance you can get a player's resolution settings to save? I play at 0.85 res, and every time I relaunch the game, it resets to the default 1. I play on Steam, if that matters.
Also, Thanksgiving is coming! Now I can finally get SuperCasey... (Can that be a skin?)
Also, thanks for not changing how lower-level players get points.
You're welcome for the code.
We've tried to get the resolution to save, but that prevented the game from loading for most players. I'll add your vote to the item on the suggestion list.
SuperCasey as in a superhero skin for Casey? She already has a skin, so it may be a while before she gets another one.
How much do you have to donate to get the Desert Bus crusaders?
I believe we're sticking with same donation levels as in previous years, but we'll be able to confirm that tomorrow when the donations go live.
$10 for the Crusaders and their Common gear
$15 for the Crusaders and their Uncommon gear
$25 for the Crusaders and their Rare gear
$50 for the Crusaders and their Epic gear
Desert Bus Crusaders don't have recipes in the recipe system. If you donate for the Epic level of gear, the Crusaders do have legendary items.
Hi Erika, Hope you're all well. Thanks for the chests, I love the combination of change in rewards and dungeon points, much more doable now thanks.
Hi Global-Quantity3849,
You're welcome for the chests. I hope you and yours are well, too.
I'm glad to hear that the season changes are helping you out. :)
will we have Talents T9 soon this year???
We just did a talent update in September, so we're not planning for any more talents to be added in 2021.
The next round of talents will be sometime next year.
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.
The previous Q&A: Number 263!
Have you thought about adding new challenges?
It doesn't seem like aliens are featured in any challenges.
You could do 'Aliens and Angels' descending from the heavens.
Aliens starring in a challenge is a request that has come up before. I was planning on not adding new challenges until I had the challenge update more designed, but it might be worth breaking that out.
You need to have purchased the skin before the event starts to get the objective marked as completed.
The same as you need the Crusaders recruited before the event starts, if you want the recruit objectives marked as completed.
Buying it now will not mark it as completed.
but you've been saying for weeks that you were going to move them.
Not everyone follows the streams or reddits, so they might not have known the move was coming.
But now they're moved.
Hey Erika and Kat,
would it be possible to list the saders shown in this sheet? There's a bit of a game of 'name that sader' going on at the moment with the characters which while fun it might be good to know who Kat intended them to be rather than say "that's not Jack, it's Carmen in a Jack pumpkin head mask" for example. Anyway it's a great sheet, and will keep me busy for a while.
Sure, from Kat:
Bush Whacker as Artaxes, Pilot Pam as Brogon, Drizzle as Wendy, The Washed Up Hermit as Jack O'Lantern, Danni the Daring Damsel as Gloria, Princess as RoboRabbit, Karl the Kicker as Pete the Carny, Groklok as Greyskull the Pirate. Further in the background there is nobody in particular in the costume, but the costumes are: Mindy, a tiny bit of Sally the Succubus next to Drizzle, Princess' and Carmen & Petunia's hats, Tiernan, and Sasha. Farthest back kitty ears and crown could be Karen and Reginald.
Happy Halloweekend! :)
That sounds like a great name for a code - HPPY-HALL-OWEE-KEND!
I'm a bit late but I really like Shir Brio's design! Of course, I hope this means more animated instruments for a full quartet/orchestra/band. And maybe they can have buffs that harmonize with each other? ;)
HPPY-HALL-OWEE-KEND
Soooo, go go code! Awards 50 Dungeon coins. Expires Friday, November 5th at Noon Pacific Time.
I will pass the Shir Brio comment along to Kat. :)
No plans for an army of instruments currently, but if it becomes a popular refrain, it might happen.
Are the $4.99 and $9.99 the discounted prices or the standard prices? They don't show a discount if they are and should for those that don't read this post.
"Inspired by Halloween, we're also releasing some spooky taskmaster DLC: a creepy doll, and a fun jack-o-lantern. The launch discount to celebrate their release will last for a week."
Edit! Also the chests are giving the wrong ones. "Uniform Jeweled Chest"
The launch discount is 10%, and should be showing if you reload the game.
The Tier 7 event chests were fixed last night, but if anyone did end up with Uniform chests, they can put in a ticket and we'll get that swapped to the correct chest.

oops posted in the wrong thread, moving to the correct one sigh...
No worries. :)
