Hey Erika,
Agent 79's Briefcase GE doesn't appear to exist. Can this please be rectified at soonest convenience (as getting Ricochet Training up as high as possible post-nerf is very desirable)
Hi Cassius,
We can consider giving her the Golden Briefcase sooner than later, depending on how the promo planning shakes out.
Hey Erika
Can you guys please think about changing the with Soldierette legendary that is currently on Arachnobuddy? I think it was one of the goals this year to delink a lot of pair legendaries, but some of them have been skipped already for some reason?
Please reconsider doing such small changes for the future again.
Hi JustRikki,
We revisit the older Crusaders when the event comes around if there's time. I don't think we'll be able to get to it with the event this year.
Are you ready to leak what the big ability of the next T6 crusader is(I hope it's progressing nicely)? How are the S4 plans coming along, anything you want to share about it?
Looking forward to the next batch of runes dropping!
EDIT: I forgot to ask originally, but is Pascal's tag sharing still on the roadmap to take a look at why they aren't spreading?
It's progressing, but I haven't been able to test it yet, so not really comfortable with teasing it.
Season 4 plans are looking good so far.
Yeah, Pascal's tags are still on the to-do.
any chances that search for simon event makes return so new players can get that event's achievements which require event completed?
no need to be 2 weeks long, 1 week is enough to get saders and spending achievements.
The event won't return, but thank you for the reminder about the achievements.
Hey Erika!
Just wanted to discuss the "gold reward runes". I honestly think there is not a single player who find these useful. I made a suggestion thread (which seemed to have been received well by the community), proposing to instead make those runes reward you with a little bit of crafting materials, while still relating them to running gold reward missions.
What do you think of this suggestion?
Hi Daurakin,
We did see the thread, but we're not planning on any changes to the runes at this time. We'll keep it in mind though.
Hi Erika, Is there ever gonna be a new event, like. an entire new event?
If not, then any new campaign?
Also, chatroom2 asks if there will be an automatic rune merging system.
Hi Armyegg11,
We don't plan on adding a whole new event at this point, since the event schedule is pretty packed already, so we'd need to drop one, and then there's the question of if it would start at Tier 1 only or debut with all 6 or 7 tiers at once, which just gets a bit complicated.
I do still hope to have campaign 10, to round out the campaign list, at some point.
No automatic rune merging, but we are discussing ways to make it a little quicker.
Welcome Crusaders!
Before we begin today, I hope you are safe wherever you are, and that you are in a position to take care of yourselves during this weird time.
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: ...

Is there a "complete all" option introduced that I am not aware of? Or I misunderstand the answer?
If you're using the Complete dialog that pops up when you visit the mission screen, I call that a complete all dialog sometimes, since it's giving you the option to complete all the missions easier than clicking on them individually from the mission list on the side of the screen.
So if you're using that dialog and clicking super quickly through it, sometimes previous missions animations/results can overlay the current mission you're completing.
Read moreYes, I would like to gain experience faster. In addition to being one of the DPS multipliers, some Legendary improvements are tied to it. For example - Detective, Nate and Littlefoot. Not that they are very often taken, but in situations where there are no alternatives for them (campaigns with a choice of tags and challenges), and the total DPS from this is significantly reduced - I would like at least a minimal decrease in this effect.
No, this is the chance of triggering probabilistic abilities (Fire Rain at Phoenix, Skeletons at SkeleTom, Storm recharge at Mushroom, etc., etc.). Gourmet is, unfortunately, the only amplifier of its kind, and there are a lot of restrictions (by tags, slots and other factors) where it may not pass. So if there is a talent that somehow increases the chance of such effects being triggered, it will be just great.
Well, yes, it is good for points. And for those who scored on them because of their minimal influence on the total DPS - th...
Thank you for clarifying. :)
With 30 minutes for an experience point, you do get 16 every time you use a Quantum Leap Time Warp, or 1 for every Delorean Time Warp used, but you did explain the use-case for a shorter timer, so I'll make a note.
Tier 4 event Crusaders start with 300 EP when you unlock them, Tier 5 event Crusaders start with 450 EP when you unlock them and Tier 6 event Crusaders start with 600 EP when you unlock them.
Not that I expect brand new players to be tackling all 6 tiers of an event. I expect them to tackle 2 or 3 tiers, depending on their idols, gear, objective unlocks and Crusaders, and grab the rest of the event in future years. So 750 EP is fine for a Tier 6 event objective.
Erika,
Would it be hard to have boosts that would affect a mission? Like spend this boost to add 5 or 10% to a mission success after putting in your saders. Maybe offer them in the challenge shop and use challenge coins to buy boosts or sell them in packages say 50 boosts for $3.99.
Hi VioletHem,
Hmm, not sure how hard it would be, and at the moment, I can't recall if it's been requested or not previously.
It's definitely an idea though. I'll make a note.
If the mission isn't 100% because of missing the gear check, you can try and get gear for the Crusaders sent on the mission, and you can still increase the chance of it succeeding, since it checks at completion.
Just wanted to thank for fixing steam achievements, now I'm 98/99 and gonna "climb Everest" ;) Have a nice day
You're welcome! I'll pass it along to Kevin. :D
Thank you for all the contributions so far! We'll keep collecting them until we can feature a new sheet for you all!
Erica, hello!
Thank you so much for introducing the option I proposed - the third Gold Epic - as a reward for completing campaigns. It is very nice. I would be very happy if the acceleration of experience gain and the multiplicative bonus to the chance of triggering probabilistic abilities are also sooner or later implemented in the game!
But it's damn unpleasant that you again tie the passage of campaigns to Enchantment Points. This is stupid! They are not needed anywhere else! The increase in DPS from them is tiny, even if special crusaders with a bonus are taken (Mushroom, Mummy and Halloween demon). Yes, this is part of the game and is useful for squeezing the most out of your DPS! But why bind crusaders with certain Enchantment Points above a certain level? IT'S PASSING!
Thanks for the code!)
Hi dimitrius5naj,
You're welcome: player ideas do make it into the game.
Experience points are already gained in 30 minutes with the max level of the Fast Learners talent. Did you need it quicker, or are you referring to something else?
Is this
the multiplicative bonus to the chance of triggering probabilistic abilities
your request for a different style of the average drop multiplier stat being mentioned again? Or relating to something else?
You're right: aside from missions, Enchantment Points aren't used very much, so gating objectives on them is a use for them. With EP runes equipped on Crusaders sent on EP missions, it can be quick to get Crusaders up to speed as well.
Cheers!
Hi Erika,
Does CNE know how many people own certain sader and if said sader is in an active formation? Could you make a system where the more people have a certain sader in an active formation, the less bonus benefit it applies? If you're using a less popular sader, then the greater bonus effect it would give. If the goal is to try and make more saders useful (and have people buy packs for those saders), then you could try and develop a variety of metas with few saders in common. Perhaps certain saders have a penalty if they're grouped with certain other saders (so the opposite effect of Nate and Natalie). If you posted the population of a certain meta, then people could focus on builds that say focused on leprechauns or animals or robots, since there's more bonus benefit going from a less popular meta at the current time.
Hi VioletHem,
We know what Crusaders players have unlocked. We don't currently track how often they're used in formation, but we could.
It would have to be made pretty clear why an OP Crusader is losing power if we did something like that, but it might be worth investigating to give some lesser-used Crusaders a spotlight. I'll add your idea to our suggestion list to consider.
Thanks for the chest and I hope you all have a great Easter :)
You're welcome. Have a good Easter weekend yourself. :)
Thank you for the code.
About season 4, if the change is an addition to what we already have, then it could be good.
If the change is a replacement, then I am skeptical.
To me, if we keep the current (3) bonuses and add however many bonuses, then the new bonuses could be tailored to the restrictions and hopefully are at least marginally better than the original (3) bonuses. Regardless, a player would be able to chose which bonus on each run.
Any tailoring though, will be difficult given the different formations available. Perhaps the bonuses could be spread over a subset of the 10 formations and that subset could be doubled or tripled, 4 or 5 forms doubled or 3 forms tripled, and however many bonus options (6? from 3 old and 3 new) are spread among the form instances.
You're welcome for the code.
So you're suggesting more than 3 bonuses to choose from for a future season?
The restriction to a subset of Crusaders would be more to allow players to come up with new formations, but players have voiced their opinion on that pretty strongly, so it won't be happening with season 4.
Ugh, I have such superhero burnout, specifically Marvel shit burnout. I know it's too late at this point, but like... Maybe move on to other things to parody.
We won't be r-themeing the existing events, but the Gardeners event lends more to Flora Crusader additions these days over superhero parodies.
