Someone, a while back, suggested a slider for the missions crusader selection. I would like to second that suggestion. Please!

Noted.

In the meantime, you can always use the mousewheel to scroll the list, or just hold the Shift key while clicking the arrows to cycle Crusaders, to move all 8 Crusaders at once.

vous savez que tout le monde n'as pas atteins le lvl 6 ?

Yes, we're aware that not every player can tackle tier 6. If a player isn't ready for it in the event this cycle, then they can try when the event comes around again.

Hi there! Please could you add option to reset saved formations? I have huge mess there... And it will be nice to get such option :) Maybe if you 'save' empty formation the slot for saving should get free?

Hi pandino89,

You can overwrite saved formations if you want to clean them up.

I'll note down the vote to delete them entirely on the item on our suggestion list.

Hi Erika. Lately I've beem thinking about the lenght of dungeons and the amount of time it takes. Unless is more sprint there isn't much more space to reduce runs in time, so I think you can implement some way pf scaling. So the dps needed to achieve the new scaled area is the same as 3 times the current. More of less getting to area 5000 is the same to get now to 15000. That is considering the new meta that we can get up to area 20000. Sprint can also be scaled down if you want to, and that gives space to grow in dps but not too much in time so we can do the 15 weekly runs. It can be unlocked via 11th objectives as we dont have one in a lot. Note: the scale can be as you want. 3 is only one idea but in the log time I think is the appropiate

Hi genner13,

Scaling the dungeons was a theme of last week's Q&A too, to save players time. We'll consider it if/when we look at goals higher than area 14,000 for collections.

Cheers!

Before Christmas, I submitted a support ticket concerning steam achievements and you told me "We are planning on trying a mass fix for all players on Steam in the new year, to catch most players who've made the transfer and weren't credited the achievements properly."

When do you plan to do this?

Also, could you tell me the mathematical formula to determine how many challenge tokens a player gets?

We plan to take a look at the achievements once most players are moved, so late Jan, more likely early February at this point though.

We don't give out formulas for something like that but the players have a challenge token drop breakdown on the wiki I believe.

Hi, feeling like a total loser here but can someone tell me the DPS requirement to beat Recruiting Ursula the Busy Bee?

I have to really start grinding for idols as I cant beat even this but it would help my mental state if I would know how much DPS I am missing as e323 is not enough :(

Hi xavfin,

So beating area 600 on the tier 6 events is equivalent to being able to beat area 1800 on a normal free play.

So roughly e350 DPS to clear it.

I have a vague memory of someone saying that the scaling option would "stick" in-between game loads. Did I dream that? Currently, using the app from your website, scaling resets to 1.0 every time I restart the game.

Hi Dartarus,

We tried to have it save, but that actually prevented most players from loading the game. Adobe Air is fun. So you do have to change the scaling each time you load the game.

Erica, hello!

Happy Holidays!

I hope you had a good rest! There are two questions.

1) How soon can we expect new 5 tiers for standard campaigns and new rewards?

2) Can we expect that another sale of skins will appear, as was the case at the beginning of their introduction?

Thanks for the code!)

Hi dimitrius5naj,

We did have a good break, thank you for asking.

1) Season 3 and the event schedule are the current priorities. We'll be trying to do the Tier 4 11ths and Tier 5 objectives this year though.

2) Sale on skins? You mean like have the skin be the weekend buff sweetener?

hi not sure if this was asked earlier in the year but was bounty of idols a mistake? It seemed a huge, huge buff and makes previous work almost feel a bit cheapened.

Thanks for great game though.

Hi dux_v,

Bounty of Idols isn't a mistake. It was meant to make objectives and other things without bonus boss Idols feel more rewarding.

Dungeon objectives with the Idol bonus still provide more Idols though.

Hey Erika ! Is the team fine ?

Is there a way to make it that, when we open chests one by one, the animation is skipped? Something like an option to always show the window we have when opening them in bulk ?

EDIT : forgot to mention something else. In the rune interface, is it possible to add a feature to fuse all runes to a certain level ? Lets say I have 50 Lv1 air rune and 60 for fire rune. I select the targeted level I wish then press a button and all of them are fused.

Hi Dragon97420,

The team is doing as well as we can be. We're very happy to be in a place like BC, where we've only got mask mandates and haven't been fully locked down like other places. And life goes on.

Speeding up opening 1 chest isn't currently on our radar, but I'll note down it was requested.

We do want to add some ways to speed up rune crafting. I'll note down the suggestion to consider as an option.

Hi Erika, technical question here. It seems every week/few weeks the Steam in game chat goes down. This as you know will lead to memory leaks if you do not turn the chat off after sometime. Now without knowing the back-end server side you guys are using, why can't you just put a simple script in place to ping the chat ip every so often? If it doesn't return anything back, simply restart the chat process for a limited amount of tries (to not send the server into a never ending loop). Just my thoughts! :D

Hi LazerMePapi,

I'll bring up a script with the team. It would be nice to not have to worry about the chat. :)

It's pretty good if those are idle hours played. Thanks for sharing. :)

HI Erika, could we drop lower tier gems in higher slots and merge the right amount to upgrade the gems? It is a simple feature but a huge quality of live upgrade.

like a have a slot with a lvl 4 gem and i drop 4 lvl 2 onto it to upgrade it to lvl 5

Hi perfectVoidler,

We'd like to add some ways to speed up rune crafting. We'll keep the suggestion in mind as a possible option. :)

Hi Erika, I hope you are well.

While playing today, I was realizing how addicted I am to the game. The gameplay fits me perfectly, I still have a lot of fun with it, even after five years. So first, thank you and everyone at CNE for making such a great game.

Quick question, can we imagine more taskmasters in the (near) future? I feel like a pokémon trainer, collecting them all, but I keep finding uses for them, and there aren't many enough for all my plans ^^'

Lots of love.

Hi Sarali,

Doing well, thanks! Hope you are too. :)

I will pass that along to the team. That's awesome to hear.

Yup, we're planning some more taskmasters for soon. :)

Good day,

On the rune 5th slots, any idea how many will drop at the beginning of season 3? Thanks.

As many as we can do by the time we want to release season 3.

Hey Erika,

I just wanted to thank you again for your really quick help with the account linking. It was great to get back all my crusaders, gears, talents and stuff. :-) Thank you!

Hi CommanderLuca,

You're quite welcome. :D

Hi Erika, I have one last dungeon to get beyond area 13k. Will I get credit for the achievements if I finish it after the dungeons end?

Hi cschwa179,

If you're on a dungeon objective after the season ends, you'll still get all the credit for it being finished when you do finish it.

So since it's a dungeon objective, if you clear area 13,000 that achievement should increment properly.

Is there a reason why Dark Gryphon's Shadowball ability is disabled in game? I have used Dark Gryphon multiple times in the Princess' Pool Party event and it is always X'd out. So her attack doesn't get the added boost it needs to be effective.

You probably disabled it at some point in the past.

Just hold Ctrl or Shift and click the ability again to re-enable it, like the tool-tip mentions.

Does the dungeon season end 1 hour after the reset? I show an hour between reset and the end, so we could get another run started maybe? My dungeon buff also shows about an hour after the season ends, so will we lose the +idols if we run over? Why are all the timers different?

We can sync up the timers if you'd like. It's probably a result of Daylight Savings being in there.

The dungeons will end, along with the buffs, but like last season you can finish out a run after the season is over.

Hi KN0meo,

We do have a chat in the Codename and Steam version of the game.

You toggle it with the in-game Options menu, with the Toggle Chat option.
