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 262!

Community Activity!

One more day to submit your P...

It's not something we're currently planning on adding, but I'll add the suggestion to the list to consider.

Hmm, I swear the tooltips should be calling out when it's a legendary effect and not just a normal upgrade. I'll double-check with Wilson about that.

'Tis the season of Spooktober!

It's almost Halloween time again, so bring forth the pumpkin! We're looking forward to seeing your pumpkin creations/interpretations this year!

• Pumpkin shape

• Eye shapes

• Mouth shapes

...

Awesome! Thank you for all the submissions!

You can redeem VOID-SAYS-FABU-LOUS for a 7 day long 200% Spawn Speed buff. Code expires Friday, November 5th at Noon Pacific Time (UTC-7.)

Yeah, it has come up before. Thank you for the reminder.

We might be able to get the mission rune effect into the hover text. I'll check with Wilson.

Thank you for the feedback on getting the older items.

I'll discuss with the team if selling the older items for money would make sense.

Hmm, so I did the objective on both our live and dev servers and the being fed mechanic worked on both.

What Crusaders were you using initially on starting the objective?

Insulation is the Legendary Effect provided by Frosty's Legendary Scarf.

Commiseration is the Legendary Effect provided by Emo's Legendary Cape.

The challenge tokens from Cash in Hand are added to your token amount on hand, so you can spend them immediately.

You can see the tokens being added with the start objective entry in the play history (P key on your keyboard) when starting the challenge objective.

They do not get added to the number visible at the side of the screen on the challenge, as that is only for the tokens earned from completing areas on the challenge.

Hi TFahab,

1) Hopefully soon. We've had other things to tackle this week.

2) I'll add your vote to the item on the suggestion list, but it's not something we're planning on adding at this time.

A couple of players have mentioned issues with the rune screen being laggy, and we're still trying to reproduce it.

Are you idling on an area, or sprinting when you open the rune screen and notice the lag? Are you opening the screen right after loading into the game and having it lag? Or has the game been open for a while before you open the screen and you notice the lag?

Hi arcaine666,

It's something that has come up before and something we've discussed possibly adding. I'll add your vote to the item on the suggestion list and we'll see what happens.

Hi FrequentWay,

We are planning on adding some new DLC soon.

Hi Bocian00000,

We don't plan on allowing players to unmerge Runes. That's why there's the confirmation message when you're merging them, so you can be sure you want to do the merge.

Hi Hex,

There's always going to be some power gap, based on how players choose to play the game, but it is a single player game, so playing at your own pace is fine.

Thank you for the reminder.

I've made a note to get the recruit/gear missions in the game with the Emo's update.

Skins will be available through the season updates, and then with scheduled skin store updates.

Hi Sophie,

You're welcome for the chests.

If the Crusader getting killed is providing most of your DPS or the buffs to your formation, then yeah, your DPS would end up dropping when they die, and if they were like Mogra, who needs time to accumulate monster deaths again, then going back to an earlier area where you can kill things would get your power back up.

But without a screenshot of the formation in question, it would be hard to diagnose what buffs are missing when the Crusader dies.

If you are doing the event objectives and noticing it, the areas get difficult much more quickly, hence the requirements of Bullet Hell, Washed Up and Arthmagician maxed to start the objectives. That means the monsters do more damage sooner as well, compared to a free play objective, so you may need a tank Crusader in the front of the formation to absorb the damage so the other Crusader tricks can push you forwards or you don't lose the important Crusader right away...

That's a cute idea, but the weekend promo that would be in the game with version "308" already has all the art done and is in the game already.
