I actually wouldn't mind you getting rid of all the shenanigans builds (like Rex/pre-mime). I dunno, maybe some folks like it, I just find it tedious.

Huh, interesting. Thanks for sharing. :)

Any chance the time for a mission could be updated to reflect the mission time reduction as they're added into the lineup before sending crusaders out? Sometimes I'm trying to squeeze in one more mission before shutting down overnight and I don't know without a lot of manual calculations if they'll come back in time. Most of the time I'm wrong and I could've used other crusaders to bump up the gains and opened them in the morning instead.

That would be pretty handy. I'll make a note to chat with Kevin about if that's a possibility or not.

I wasn't aware that there was an issue with the crooked crow so I won't say much, but this year has seen a lot of post release adjustments that are becoming a bit worrying to me.

I always look forward to new content releases, so I am very excited about tomorrow and hope that the rest of the year treats you all well.

Hope you're enjoying the event and the new Talents.

Happy holidays. :)

Hey Erika, outside of all this other drama, please remember that the community is looking for more ways to get rubies (while I personally am after more catalysts as well.) I for one can be bribed with these options to forget about feathered fiends. Though I'm kind of a traitor in the Discord chat for these kinds of thoughts.

At least in part to get the additional skins from the store, which more will be added soon I hope?

Also also, getting that much dungeon progress in the current setup seems kind of ... yikes compared to other requirements for taskmasters and skins. Can that be looked at in the future? The carrot at the end of the stick needs to be reachable, right?

Edit! Oh, and one more thing! This choice golden epic is an amazing offer and hopefully it'll be repeated more!

Hi Doctor_Arkeville,

Yeah, the rubies thing is coming up a lot, as not everyone has a large stash to sustain them. It's something I hope to look at in 2021.

Kat's been getting back into her groove after the whole 'rona shake up, so once January is behind us, we'll be able to estimate when we can bring back additional skin store updates.

Which dungeon progress point in particular? Level 25 for the season achievement, or the bonus levels for extra materials, if you're a keener at points collection?

We've done Golden Epic giveaways in the past, and we can maybe see about doing it more next year.

Hi Erika,

Since it's Tuesday I'm wondering if there are any new challenges in the works?

Hi erg0_nomic,

Not currently, but I do hope to circle back to the challenge system at some point in 2021.

Hi Erika,

First of all, thanks for the chest!

Second of all, I'm very happy that you buffed Momma's Monster, however he is still very underwhelming compared to other DPS options, especially Jiaolong. Are you planning on buffing him more?

Hi LilBabyKitty,

You're welcome for the chest.

We weren't planning on any more immediate buffs to Momma's Monster but we're open to improvements down the line.

I only have a question about how you are approaching the creation of crusaders. I see that practically none of them, bugs aside, even have the possibility of displacing one of the current ones from the meta. The clearest is Momma's monster. A DPS that is 1e100 worst than Jiaolong at best.

It is not that each crusader unseats another, that is not the idea. However, more and more I have the feeling that the new crusaders exist only to make the collection beautiful.

Are you planning the crusaders to really offer alternatives and allow different builds or do you only create aesthetic elements but without an interesting mechanic?

Another question. Could we have a button to open chest 1000 by 1000? Open 23000 needs a lot of time now.

We try to design Crusaders that offer a new twist on what aspects of the game they can affect, and then see what happens.

No, we don't planning on adding a button to open more than 100 chests at once. While it's much improved to open 100 now than before with the old screen, opening more than 100 at a time could potentially cause issues.

The thing about crow was that the belt affected every stack separately; which made them very powerful with a high enough level Imani belt. Without the interaction; they are decently powerful for new players; but not in the top tier with Bruno, etc. like they were. Before the change they were the best DPS crusader since Hildr; after the change, no one since Hildr has made the endgame formations for the top players. They went from around +e300 DPS (amazing) to around +e50 DPS (weaker than Twins and Mogra, who don't make formation either).

If you aren't willing to restore the interaction due to lag or whatever, how about giving them some more mission tags so they are at least good on that side and usable in more weekly challenges for endgame players? Say Supernatural or Magical and Male or something?

Crooked Crow is meant to be genderless, as its an entity, but we can think about adding some additional tags.

One word in English

Due to privacy policies from various sources, we don't plan on storing player birthday information among our game data, so no birthday chests, sorry.

Happy belated birthday though. :)

Could we please have filters or sort options to the mission hero selection?

Merry Christmas

Hi ABetterToday,

Revamping the mission screen is something I would love to tackle sooner than later.

Did you have filters in mind?

Merry Christmas. :)

Yay a runic chest thanks. I was wondering is the legendary for Mindy going to be edited so it isn't reliant on Pete, since legendaries like emo were edited before to not be a boost based on a single crusader being present?

You're welcome. :)

We've been updating old Crusaders as we have time when the events come around, but it might be worth just knocking that out in a stand-alone update. We'll see what happens.
