That code got me my level 10 fire on Mogra, thanks!
Oh nice, congrats!

I want to say the decision to not entertain selling the game is disappointment stacked on disappointment. Obviously, money plays a big role in this decision and there seems to be an active community that wants to keep the game alive. CodeName obviously believes there is not enough community support, but selling the game assets to interested parties/community would help CodeName recoup some of their investment in the game.
That being said, thanks for all the fun. If anyone wants to make a different idle game, please let me know, I'd certainly be interested in trying something else out.
Thank you for playing Crusaders.
The company's focus will be Idle Champions for now, but keep an eye on Codename's social accounts for updates.
Chat is known to flake out. Hope you come in sometimes after sunset and give chat a boot :).
Nick gets reports of chat getting stuck for the CNE launcher, so he'll be rebooting that one.
We'll take steps to have the Steam chat room get rebooted as well.
Sunsetting the game before it even gets out of beta? ;)
Thanks to you and the team for all the work over the years. I know there's a lot of frustration within the active community about how sudden it feels, but I'm also fairly sure that's far outside of your control.
Hehehe, we just haven't had a reason to make a new Steam build.
Thank you for being on the Crusaders journey with us over the years.
We've always said that live service would continue as long as it was supported. We're glad we're in a position where we can give the two months notice for the last content update instead of something more abrupt.
Thanks for the code and 2378 days of playtime I've went through. I was wondering what was the thought on skin amounts to be added since there was a potential list in mind from the survey? You mentioned winning skins and I wasn't exactly sure what tht meant.
Also, in rune grab bags it seems at least visually I've only seen up to 3 legendary (level5) when opening 5 bags at a time. is that just a glitch?
We're glad you've enjoyed Crusaders.
Kat went a bit overboard with the list of potential skins, but she wanted to see if there was any interest in giving those older Crusaders a skin over the newer ones.
So the top 3 skins that received the most votes from the community will be the ones we put into the skin shop with the March 17th update. The winners were pretty popular compared to the other choices.
Just a visual glitch. For some reason it doesn't display more than 1 of the level 5 rune, but you can double check in the play history entry for the runes added.
Hi Erika, Thanks for 2308 days of great game! Are you keep Events alive to finally complete them? I skipped big bunch of them so I need these objectives.
Hi PavelD100,
You're quite welcome. We're glad you've enjoyed Crusaders.
Events will turn on automatically with their existing content, so if you do have objectives to complete, you'll be able to tackle them when you see the events come back.
So long and thanks for the fish.
You're welcome. :)
Are runic grab bags guaranteed to give 1 level 5 rune, or is it only a chance? Used the code (big thank you btw), and got 3 level 5 runes from the 5 bags, the rest were level 4.
A bit bummed that the game will cease to receive updates, but the game had a pretty good run.
They are guaranteed to give the level 5 rune. It's just the results screen doesn't respect that for some reason. On the fix list.
You can check the entry in the play history to confirm all the level 5 runes were added.
It was definitely a hard decision, but it's been a great experience all around with Crusaders.
I would love to be able to replay objectives (campaign and event) for another chance at earning the related achievements. Allowing this shouldn't require new content.
Thanks for CotLI. I'll keep playing it as long as I can. But ICotFR doesn't really appeal to me.
While it would be cool, we don't plan on making objectives repeatable.
You're welcome for Crusaders.
We don't expect all players to move to Idle Champions, but we wanted to give those who choose to try it out again a little boost with the various codes on offer.
Hi Erika,
Sad news, but I think in hind sight the game was actively maintained for much langer than I would have expected.
Thanks to you and the team (new and old) for keeping it going as long as you have. For 'just a small simple game' this one has brought me hours, days, maybe even months of fun over the years.
2 final questions for you then. Can you share anything about what is next for you after the sunsetting? At this time, what do you consider to be the top 5 QoL enhancements that the community is looking for? I recognize that all of this is not likely to make it into the final update, just curious about your perspective on this topic.
All the best to you and team.
Hi kittymug,
We're glad you've enjoyed the Crusaders journey. I'll pass it along to the team.
Kat and Wilson will be moving to fill in the artist and developer positions we have available on Idle Champions, though Wilson will check on the emails into crusaders@codename when he can. I'll be moving on to something else.
The requests with the highest percentage of votes from the survey are the current top priorities, along with some tweaks to the infinite rewards to make season 7 point collecting appealing.
Cheers!
Still super bummed to hear about the sunset :( Playing since T1 of Princess' Pool Party! It's been fun watching the art and game evolve before you.
I was curious, the Skin survey seemed to have a skin planed for every (Not Xochi??? Where's the love for my girl) unit; would it be possible to see the roughs for some ideas? They sounded genuinely cool just as character designs.
Sad to hear the Yogcast/Desert bus crew wont be available, they have some spicy tag combinations. Will you be pushing the recipes for those units just so people can complete them if they have them?
Thanks for everything to the whole team! Best of luck in all your future works.
Totally, the art and game evolution have been so neat to see, back from when there were only a handful of objectives and not even Talents, to all the systems we have today.
I think Xochi wasn't on the list because Kat felt her tags were OK, and it was more about adding tag combos we didn't have, or giving someone like Matt with limited tags a few more uses. There's no initial sketches of any of those ideas though. It was to give us direction on what skins to tackle first.
We won't be turning on the recipes for the Desert Bus Crusaders, as the gear was part of the donation.
Thank you for being on our Crusaders journey. :D
Excellent FAQ on the sunsetting, thank you for posting that! And thank you for all your work over the years on this terrific game!
You're welcome for the FAQ. I'll be posting it as a blog as well, once we see what other questions pop up from this Q&A.
Thank you for playing Crusaders. :)
Will the events re-run just without any additional tiers?
With the removal of some achievements mean that we should be able to complete all the achievements - i.e will it be the currently impossible achievements being the ones removed)
Yes, the events will re-run without additional tiers. If you've already completed everything, then it would just be the free plays if you wanted to.
The hiding of the achievements means that players who don't have them won't be able to complete them.
Loved the game. Thanks for being here for us. I also found this. An idol. You can have this one.
We're glad to hear it. It's been a pleasure to be a part of this community.
D'aww, thanks for the Idol. :)
Very very sad to see you go! I feel lost, kind of like when Lost ended, I remember walking through the streets, looking at other people and knowing that they don't understand me or what I feel. The Internet knows, the community knows, you know.
Happy to have shared with you all this slice of life.
Yeah, it will be weird to not be working on Crusaders after so long of having it be a part of my daily life, but there will be the memories.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. :)
I think Cotli and Idle Champions are the best idle games out there. Thank you very much for that.
That's so cool. I'll pass it along to the team. Cheers!
thanks for the memories
Definitely a lot of memories. :)
Hi Erika,
Firstly thanks for 2200 days of mostly fun.
One thing I've asked for before, which should be quick and easy, is could we have the points total shown in full and not in scientific notation on reset.
Also is it still possible to get the have Sinjin kill Sjelda achivement anywhere, I think it was available but can't remember where.
Finally good luck to you and the rest of the team, wherever you next end up.
Hi billyjoe99,
You're welcome for the fun. I'll pass it along to the team.
I'll check with Wilson. I know we do force some numbers to ignore sci not, so in theory it should be doable.
You can get the Solo Kill Sjelda achievement on the Making Waves dungeon, if you want to try.
Cheers!
Hey Erika, what does occur when you run out of flash sales items such as golden items. Do we then get runic grab bags ?
Hi FrequentWay,
Currently the flash sales would stop showing up if you own all the Golden Epics and the taskmasters.
We can discuss adding a runic grab bag option as part of the final content updates..
Welcome everyone,
Before we begin: I hope you're all staying safe and being kind.
As you can tell by the title of this post, this will be the final reddit Q&A for Crusaders of the Lost Idols, in the wake of our announcement of the sunsetting of the game.
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.
I will be doing my best to get to all the questions today, and within the next couple of days.
