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 241!

Thank you! That was a fun one. :)
You should be able to load the game again.
Oof I didn't finish my Rosebed; did like the center and forgot . . . can I still?
Yup, it can be submitted in any week. :)
To make sure it gets shown on stream, and counted towards the goal, we recommend posting it in the newest colouring thread.

Hey Kat (or Erika can forward this to her), could you explain to me what was changed between Taskmasters sheet and for example last? MSPaint worked just fine in Taskmasters but now it feels like coloring with spraycan.
Kat mentioned she started saving the JPG as a smaller file, so the website can load quicker.
by capacitor , I mean to hold
hisher stacks for longer, hence each rune can lessen current 2.5% diminishing rate of remaining warp stacks.i.e level 1 2.45 , lvl 2 , 2.39 .. just as examples, toying with the idea. you're the experts :) & I was only kidding with the runes, I do have some lvl 7s and 8's already, it shrinks the remaining pool of runes by a good amount.
Thanks for clarifying.
I think I would do either costs less to warp or warp more areas, but not both, but we'll see. :)
Hi Erika,
Are there plans for more Human support / DPS crusaders in the works? Currently, Imani / Twins / Odile / Langley seem almost mandatory to do The Machine Stops, which is a huge roadblock for someone who just missed on Odile the last time around.
Hi Not_Pro,
No planned humans in the next few events, sorry.
All of those Crusaders do have recruit missions available in the mission system, and if a player doesn't want to try using runes on Casey or Dr. Evil or the original Human crusaders, there's always the Crusader store if they're feeling generous and want to support the game.
Otherwise, there is the time to wait to get the Crusaders they're missing and finish the objective. The Tier 5 11ths aren't dropping in the near future.
Erica, hello!
What is the likelihood that talent performance rewards will appear in the campaign rewards of higher tiers?
Well, is there a doubling of the Sprint's effectiveness? And let there be also an increase in the efficiency of the Jeweler, for example. Or Cash In Hand? Or Scrap Hoarder. Or Head Start.
It would also be interesting (in my opinion) to be able to get the regular and jewelry chests of this event as a reward for killing bosses for the first time in free games with a certain degree of probability.
And finally - it would be just great if another free taskmaster appeared.
PS. Thanks for the code!
Hi dimitrius5naj,
I'm not currently planning on rewards that increase talents from the next round of 11th objectives, but it could happen.
Jeweler and Cash In Hand are already strong enough, so I don't see those getting improvements. Maybe Scrap Hoarder. I'll add it to the list to consider.
Event Crusaders are already fairly easy to gear up, especially if you already own all the recipes for all the other Crusaders. If not, there's hoards of time warps and you just need to reset the event free play after a save call to farm up those chests.
I'll make a note to have another taskmaster in season 5, if not sooner.
Cheers!
Are you ready to tease anything about the next dungeon season?
Any new or reworked formations? Any details about how the scaling will work? Any more about the 'neat experiment' you referred to last time about the points/coins/idol rewards?
Fun and Games is getting the rework, as voted by the players.
The experiment will be seeing if players want to take the points bonus or the idols bonus, based on the new amounts of the points awarded for the area milestones.
Few Missions questions:
- Any plans to make the gold or materials missions more useful for endgamers? Neither has anything on cracking a couple hundred silvers right now. Not sure a gold mission even could unless it gave more than just gold . . . (maybe change the gold rune effect or something).
- When will we be able to do more EP missions at once or Idols missions more frequently etc. ? Still in a state of all missions out and less than a third of available crusaders for missions on mission. All they are really good for is stacks of Mission Adrenaline DPS tbh.
- How about sorting the crusaders in the mission panel? IE: 2x chance rune first or speedup rune first; instead of the current just plain (Most to Least Tags matched, Least to Most EP (for EP missions, opposite for all others)) we have now.
1) The more missions done, the more powerful some Crusaders will get. Still on the radar.
2) We're happy with the rate of Idol missions and don't plan on changing their frequency. One day there will be more missions for all Crusaders, one day.
3) Adding a dialog box for filtering Crusaders to send on missions is something I do want at some point. So many things, only so much time.
Related to dungeon scaling in season 4, I think I remember you saying that completing a certain area in a given scaling will unlock the next tier for that map. I'd like to suggest (assuming that it's not already planned to be this way) that for those that have passed 15K on the current maps, get "tier 2" unlocked automatically (even if they did it before season 4 started). Otherwise, there's going to be a big grind as you have to run all 10 maps again to unlock the next scaling/tier.
And related to scaling/points/rewards, is that still planned to end at area 15k or go higher? If it's going to go higher, is there anything planned that'll help you complete more areas in a shorter time? It's already pretty difficult to get in all the runs in a week, going to even higher areas is going to make that even more difficult/impossible to do.
It's only 10 dungeon runs to unlock Tier 2 on all dungeons, but I'll keep the request in mind.
New season, new end cap for the drops. There won't be any extra speed methods debuting with the launch of season 4, but some might arrive while the season is running.
Hello team CNE, thank you for the chests during this weird time :-)
tip for Garnet's fifth would be to strengthen his 'capacitor' and simultaneously increase the warp areas, ever so slightly at each rune level. speaking of runes, I merged them all, now where did they all go ?
Hi ubi_contributor,
You're welcome for the chests. :)
Strengthen her capacitor?
I would like the rune to help players clear more areas in some way.
If you merged all your runes into the highest rune possible that you could currently make, then they're part of that rune. The list of Crusaders shows if they have runes equipped in their rune slots as well, if you did equip runes on any Crusaders.
Hi Erika, would you be willing to share some preliminary info about dungeon scaling? Specifically, what would the difference in dps requirements be to beat level 15,000 between a tier N difficulty and a tier N+1?
e.g. Assuming Tier 1 is the existing dungeons, which needs ~e2990 dps to beat level 15k.
Hi bippyarg,
Tier 1 would be the existing dungeons, as that's base difficulty level for the game.
I'm still playing around with how much "hard" and "harder" will mean, since while grag and some others can hit e9000 plus DPS, those are still exceptions rather than the rule. So a balance between encouraging power and formation growth to complete it and squashing all progress to an impossible halt if you go for the hardest difficulty.
Read moreOn the topic of chest opening, which just like many other topics, start out as not an issue and then grows and grows until the player-base outcry becomes unacceptable and it is addressed:
This has obviously been brought up by many players on the past year, wanting to open more chests with a single click, as the number of silver chests generated by active players is.. quite large.
Now as you have mentioned, we understand there is a very real technical limitation stopping you from simply upping the numbers and adding a X1000 open button. The way chest contents are generated requires a server-side operation and communication to the client. So x1000 (or more) is a no-go.
However, a perhaps better approach would be to introduce an available intermediate step via a new currency, call it a "Silver-cart". You can put all of your silver chests into the silver-cart and you get 1 silver cart for every 1000 silver chests you put in. Now the silver cart has a special...
Gee this suggestion sounds familiar. I'll add your vote to the item on the LIST.
