Now that we're a few weeks into this dungeon season, have you looked at the data to see what percentage of players are completing it? Have you heard much feedback so far with how easy/difficult it is? Are you happy with how this season is going so far? Do you think you'll stick to this level of effort for future seasons? Lastly, why do the season pass rewards stop at 25, why not have them go all the way to 40(if you toss a real nice shiny pot of chests or runes there I'm sure a lot of people will then start needing to decide between running points or idols)?

We're keeping an eye on the Dungeon season.

Most of the Dungeon feedback has been about how good the rewards are this time around, but not the difficulty really.

Future seasons will be mixed up actually, and we'll see how those changes go.

The season is only to level 25. The levels afterwards are just bonus levels for the keeners. It's similar to what some other games with seasons do. But I'll keep the request in mind.

Hi Erica,

Quick question you have probably been asked before but will there ever be a way to custom sort or filter crusaders by tags in the Runes or Equipment menus?

Thanks,

Hi Kerwin,

We aren't planning on any custom sort filters at this time, but it has not come up before that I can recall at this time that players want the Crusaders sorted by Tag on the Rune and Crafting screens. I'll add that to our suggestion list to consider.

Cheers!

- I don't understand, can you explain please?

Thanks. :)

Every week with the Community Colouring Activity, we look to hit our goal of 50 coloured sheets submitted.

The last colouring activity, Glum Ghost Gwendolyn pushed us to the 50 sheet goal, and so we released a code that provides a DPS buff.

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.

I love the 7 differences idea. The 7th difference stumped some of the office folks.

Hi Erika! Thanks for the free chests !

I noticed a bug in the game. I unlocked Cindy's 5th slot rune since it gave a boost to Storm Rider. I had placed Lvl 6 Air Rune which increased the effect by 1500%. However, after I reset world, the rune effect seems to disappear. In my next free play run, I could not see this increased bonus from the rune applicable. So I upgraded the rune to Tier 7 and the bonus was now effective. Please check this bug and act on the same at the earliest.

Hi ProShashank,

You're welcome for the chests.

Yeah, seems like Cindy + Storm Rider Rune is acting how legendary items first acted when buffing Storm Rider back in the olden days, with the buff not sticking around properly after closing the game. It's currently on our fix list to get sorted out this week.

As I didn't generate a link code from Kongregate, am I completely unable to play at the moment?

i.e., I can't transfer my progress to Steam? Even through support e-mails or whatever?

You can open a ticket from the game on Steam, or email in, with your Kongregate account name.

Edit: Argentina has currency on Steam

It's possible that in-game transactions are still not converted after the Steam change in 20219, but the DLC do get converted.

We'll be making it so the front line isn't all kids with our next update.

One of the play servers was having some trouble, but we believe we've fixed it.

Are you still getting the message constantly?

Then is there a way be able to pay on our currency?

We only use Steam's conversion from USD to local currencies, if it's a currency they convert to.

If you live in a region they don't support a conversion for, then no, we don't use local currency.

Good day.

- Would you guys consider adding an option for merge runes so we can click and just go click on the runes we want to merge instead of taking them to the place to merge them?

- Any options in the future so we can just pay "The Waterways Pass" directly from steam so we can pay on our designated coin region?

Hi Kite-sama,

  • We are going to look at making merging runes quicker. I'll note down your idea as one to consider.

  • We don't currently plan on making a DLC item for the season pass, since we'd need to create it and retire it every season, as DLC can only be purchased once. We'll stick with in-game using Steam conversion for now.

Hello Erika,

  • 1. Any idea that players with 1e17-1e21 idols would wait for the 5th rune slot for next batch of Crusaders, to try Evil Scheme objective out to make it easier? (Some players with 1e16 idols and no 5th rune idols tried their attempt to finish Evil Scheme but it did not make it but they need to grind more idols) Seems like I am saving geodes for important, popular crusaders like Arenvarr, Gwen and to lesser extent, demon/evil crusaders...

There's a couple Evil Crusaders in the 3rd rune batch, so that might help.

We may revisit the difficulty of Evil Scheme when we release the Tier 5 11th objectives.

Hi Erika,

Thanks for the code and glad to hear that you're doing well.

Also glad to hear that another batch of 5th slot runes will drop soon. Can you share how many we can expect?

I expect Karen and Exterminator will be in the batch. Mindy should have a good chance to be too.

thanks, tl93

Hi tl93,

Like, the 2nd batch, this 3rd batch includes 30 Crusaders, since I want them all out before the season ends.

So yes, this is the batch with Karen and Mindy.

Cheers, Erika

why have Mindy scale with gear specifically, but not runes then? from how formation abilities are being described there's no distinction between the two and how they interact with the game.

Hmm, true, Mimic does just say it copies the BASE formation ability from adjacent Crusaders. So technically it shouldn't be mimicing the gear bonuses either. I don't think we'll be making that change at this time, after so long.

At this time, Mindy doesn't need more power, so she won't be updated to mimic rune bonuses.

Hi Erika, thanks once again for the code!

I recently did T4 of The Lost World objective in Idols Through Time and for some reason it was really buggy, because the asteroids were visually staying on the crusaders even after changing area (the crusaders' DPS came back though, so it was only a visual bug), but what really made it an issue was that monsters would stop spawning if I opened any in-game menu (like missions) or put the client in the background to check my browser. It might be related to the asteroids since they had some heavy animation, can't say for sure though.

On a different note, I know this was asked by others already but it would be really appreciated if a "Refresh" button could be added to the game in a future update, so that we wouldn't have to close the client and open it again (one step instead of the current two).

Thank you in advance for your reply!

Hi pibedtorres,

You're welcome for the code.

Yeah, there was a bug with the falling items that snuck out in .285.1 last week, but got resolved yesterday morning.

A refresh button isn't something that the game would support, which is why you have to close and reopen the game.

Cheers!

Still enjoying this Dungeon Season, I think you've finally hit the sweet spot thanks. My query is on a certain mission. The cooldown for "geo caching" seems disproportionately long, although you get twice as many idols for it than "A hidden stash", the cooldown is about 36 hours so often there is no benefit to it, in fact I can get more idols from constant "hidden stash" missions. Any chance you can reduce the cooldown for "geo caching" please.

Glad you're enjoying the season. :)

The varying mission cooldowns are to give variety among the missions that you do receive, but I'll make a note to look at it.
