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 time of change.

Another question: Do you have any plans for adding talents etc. to the game to make more missions available, recruit missions more often, be able to skip missions, etc? I'd love to be able to skip the useless recruit missions (I just got Petra recruit) and gear upgrade (ALL the useless saders I have). Thanks!

More missions from a source has come up. It's not currently on our radar, but I'll add your vote to the item on the suggestion screen, as well as to the one for rerolling the missions.

Can you add in the runes the ability to choose your favorite crusaders as it is in the missions ?

That's a cool idea for the rune screen.

I'll add it to the suggestion list to consider.

Hi Erika,

One of the rune slots allows extra things to happen while your crusaders are on mission. Is there going to be a way to quickly find these crusaders while on the mission list? The icon is handy as is the mouse-over, but I still have to scroll back and forth to find them!

Hi TheRealMcradden,

Yeah, a better way to find Crusaders with Runes is something we want to look at adding to the mission screen. :)

It's on the to-do list for after we get season 3 out the door.

My vote's on Alacrity. It'd be interesting to see the different appearances depending on the formation.

For crusader tags, I'd like to see more versatility for both formations and missions.

  • (Human) Tank and Healer
  • Royal, Magical, DPS
  • Perhaps more DPS/Support
  • More double tags like the Twins or the Orcses
  • More hybrids (human/animal, robot/floral, alien/bot)

I've sort of had an idea floating around for a human/tank/healer. The Shieldmaiden whose barriers bolster the defense of her fellow crusaders as well as herself based on what element she's using. She saps energy from monsters and heals herself and her fellow crusaders (the effect increases when the formation is under attack). In addition her barriers rotate between boosting DPS/gold find/increasing the effect of certain Crusader's abilities.

Thank you for the chest!

Alacrity skin vote, noted.

Thank you for sharing the tag combos you'd like to see.

Oh, that's a cool idea for a Crusader. We'll keep it in mind.

You're welcome!

Based on the other comments, Alacrity seems to be the winner, but I'll still put in my vote for Katie with a Demon Flora tag.

We haven't had a clicker in a while, and we only have one female clicker, but I'll let you figure out how to make her meta. :)

Cheers!

You're welcome for the chest.

Alacrity might get vetoed by Kat, depending on how she feels about her time before the event. Katie skin will possibly win then. Demon/flora is a combo we haven't done yet for sure.

Another female clicker, interesting. We'll keep it in mind.

Cheers!

I still use Alacrity a fair bit, so I'll vote them on the skin. I haven't the foggiest what I'd want to see as a variant, though.

Don't really know about the guidebook question.

Merci's Mix-Up crusader thoughts...I'm just gonna braindump here. Robot learning to love! I'm thinking straight support for this one. As for FAs, I'd like to see one that increases global DPS by like .1% multiplicatively for every buff used, with no reset.

Alacrity skin, noted! True, what do you make the demon with 3 looks? Heh.

Support robot with a heart, cool cool.

Every buff card used? Or every buff activation, like from missions too?

How's the S3 of dungeons coming along? Any chance you have a rough idea of when it'll be dropping?

Alacrity skin, noted.

Season 3 is coming along OK. Not dropping this week, but it's our top priority to get out as soon as possible.

Leaning towards Katie. Though poor old Rocky, it might be nice to see him get a really cool skin - as compensation for all jokes about his uselessness.

Well, Katie and Rocky can both have votes, and we'll see what happens.

I decided to make a new crusader concept based on the "What tags or upgrades would you like to see for the upcoming Merci Mix up crusader." its a completed concept with a name, upgrades, formation abilities, gear, legendary effeccts, the mission tags, the story of the crusader, and if you guys at Codename want to use any of my ideas, your very welcome to!

Very thorough design. We'll keep it in mind.

Hey Erika!

VOTE: I'm torn on the vote. Katie, Frankie and Alacrity all sound good to me.

MERCI CRUSADER: A tag-combination I'd love to see some is some kind of demon clicker-tank. A chubby, four-armed devil, maybe having skills related to taskmasters and eating the monsters in a gluttonous fashion?

Just have a question about Dungeon Season 3:

Is it gonna be a bit less... intense this time around? Season 1 was already harsh, and season 2 was even moreso. While I did get a few idol runs in the very end, the point-farming prior to that was not particularly fun, to be honest.

My suggestion for dungeons: How about cutting points needed down by about half - BUT - also reduce the amount of runs you can do per week by about half? That way, the time required is significantly lessened, but it also makes idol-runs less cheap, since you'd need to use a lot of dungeon coins to farm idols a lot - which might be harder to come by with fewer free runs.

...

Hi Darukin,

Votes for all 3 then. :)

Oooh, a squat demon, that could be fun. Thanks for the suggestion!

We're taking into account the completion stats for Season 1 and Season 2 in planning the final points requirements for the levels for the rewards, and how long the resets take. It might end up a little less intense than season 2.

Hello Erika.

I wanted to ask if it's known around what time the Nate's Candy Conundrum will be this year? Seeing as it sometimes in March and sometimes in April.

And my vote is for Alacrity.

Hi Sjinkogaming,

The event start dates are definitely one of the easier things to plan.

Nate's Candy Conundrum is tied to Easter, which is why it moves around.

Looking at the calendar, Easter is the weekend of April 2nd, so I've started the Nate's Candy Conundrum event on March 25th.

Alacrity skin, noted!

Hey Erika,

I know Kat doesn't like gender swaps, but an Incubus skin for Sally would be in-character for a seductive demon (and hey, if Alacrity gets to switch between three options, a male skin for Sally can't be unfair, right?). Might mean gender-swapping certain of her effects, though (Seduction, Jealousy, her Whip)

As for the new mystery Crusaders upgrades, we're overdue a new clicker, but an upgrade that boosts familiars click damage (perhaps by +100% per familiar in play, multiplicative? ) might suffice.

Hi Cassius,

Skin for Sally, noted.

A new clicker Crusader eh? Sure, we can try again.

So you want taskmasters to be able to compete with, or overtake, projectiles in a sense? Because taskmasters already click 6 times per second with your click damage amount, and they do crit as well.
