Hey Erika,

It feels especially penalizing after having an event achievement that required use of runes. The most recent event really highlighted how counterintuitive the current solvent system is to your vision of the game being able to constantly try new configurations and builds. Realistically, no one is really using Mr. Boggins, and with the very real scarcity of runes, it just feels really bad to have to use a solvent to access the rune, put it on a crusader for an achievement with zero chance of long term use, and then another solvent to free up the rune again for effective use.

The event achievements can be completed at any time, unless it's one of the odd ones that require being on the event objectives themselves.

Plus, there's the talents that want runes equipped on all Crusaders now.

It's possible to add as a Tier 5 reward a "unlock Sprint Mode" in challenge? Sometimes you want to do the challenges fast to return to your Normal to-do objectives before a Event hit again.

We won't be adding Sprint mode right-out to challenges, but I do have an update planned that includes a way to get challenges to be a little faster.

Hi Erika, thank you so much for the code!

quick question; I'm coming up on my one-year anniversary with the game, and that means I'm playing clean-up with high tier crusaders from my first few events... I know you've been focusing on Dungeons, but do you have any sense of when the carnival is coming back to town? :-D

Hi Embarrassed-Doubt-61,

You're welcome for the code.

That's awesome that your 1-year anniversary is coming up. Thank you for playing Crusaders. :D

The Carnival of Sorrows returns around October 14th, 2021.

It feels kind of penalizing. Another idea would be to make rune solvents only remove 1 rune and give x5 of the current amount. That way, if you only put 1 rune, you can get it out cheaper overall.

Players aren't supposed to remove runes though, which is why the solvents are so rare. But we'll keep the idea in mind.

Please add my vote for 11am Pacific Time on Tuesdays.

Hi Jothda,

You're welcome.

Will do! Earlier is definitely looking like the winner. :)

Any future plans for geodes? Right now and for the near future, we will be using them to unlock headrunes, but will there be any use for them after we have all the headrunes unlocked or will they be more like the free craft tokens, just sitting there for a new sader to arrive?

Oh, though I voted on stream, I say 11am would be best time for the people overseas.

Yup, we do have plans for the geodes, since players only do need so many of them. So you'll want to keep collecting them.

Twitch doesn't let us see who voted for what, just which option won, so no worries about the extra vote. :D

I can go with 3PM on Tuesdays, that's midnight in France. Or 11AM on Tuesday (or Thursday?). But keep it going, don't cancel it and don't put it on Wednesday when it can get cancelled often.

Thx for the chests.

You're welcome for the chest.

Thanks for the stream time votes. Going back to Thursday morning would also be a time that canceled for Idle Champions streams, so we'll likely stick with Tuesdays.

Cheers!

Please go back to the 11am slot, as that works really nicely for the UK (dinner time).

Hi Stormcrow-69,

You're welcome for the code.

Back to 11am vote, thank you for that. :)

Is there something you could implement for more rune solvents? Maybe buy them with dungeon coins, it would make those more useful.

Hi Darkliandra,

Yeah, that seemed to be the consensus on stream last night, that we've got a large European group of viewers.

We're not planning on giving out more rune solvent than we currently do, but it a request that comes up from time to time, so I'll add your vote to that item. :)

Would it be possible to have a way to filter the skins list, similar to the gear list? I don't think I'll ever need to change the base 20 skins off, so it would be nice to be able to filter the list so I can scroll through and see just the skins that change tags and make changes easier than the full list.

Yeah, there's a lot of skins now. Filters for what to show on that screen is on the QoL list to add at some point.

Cheers. :)

Can there be an option to either filter out certain mission types (for example, gold)?

As well, is there a way to have crusaders with buffs to enchant points (from runes) featured first for enchant point missions?

You're welcome for the code. :D

Ideally, I'd like separate tabs for the various mission types but it's been a nice-to-have update we keep pushing off for other tech, like bug fixes and new content. One day hopefully.

Filters to sort the Crusaders in the list to send on missions is also something we'd like to add when we can. Thank you for the reminder. :)
