Hi Erika!

Griz deserves a cool skin, allowing him to be human+robot at least.

And about dungeons season 3 - we will need a lot more sprint levels (at least additional 2000 areas) if new requirements will be 14k+ area (otherwise 1 trip takes like a day for people who don't keep PC turned on 24/7), and if the idols % and/or xp cap would get increased more then it will be near impossible to get level 25.

Of course those sprint talents could be added to existing level 6-7 tier so that not only super high levels could buy them in tier 8.

Just saying this early on so you will have time for analysis.

Hi Challenger885,

Human-robot Griz skin noted.

We'll keep the more sprint or rebalance progress idea in mind, if we ever do approach area 20,000 for dungeons.

Cheers!

Hi Erika, happy new year.

I'd vote Griz personally. How about a token for a free GE from dungeons, now that would be something :) even if it was a rotating selection like the voucher chests from dungeon shop..

I'm curious if you think there is any chance cotli would ever be available through one of the flash emulators, like the one AG is working on.

Thanks!

Hi sqrzwol,

Griz skin, noted! He was the runner up for skin choices last year actually.

A GE or two from the dungeon rewards is something we can explore.

I would say it's highly unlikely, seeing as Adobe who had all the details and code for Flash, didn't make a substitute in all these years, but we'll keep an eye on things.

Hi Erica, I would like a skin for Griz. And thank you very much for the Dungeon Points buff. I hope we will see this nice buff again sometime ;-).

Hi Jothda,

Griz skin, noted.

You're welcome for the buff. It exists now, so it could show up again in future seasons. :)

Hey Erika,

Q1) Are you happy with Bounty Of Idols in it's current state? It's quite potent (in a great way) with just one level, never mind 200...

Q2) With Kong version being fully KO'd, can we get a 1.15 or 1.20 Screen Scale on the Steam/Downloader versions? Not vital, but 1.25 is slightly too big vertically.

Q4U -1) Can we get a "Grufflock" skin for Groklok that turns him into a bearded Viking wearing a bear as a coat & hood? (-Orc, + Human and Animal)

Q4U-2) EDIT: Ah, dungeon stuff. No idea here, TBH.

Hi Cassius335,

Q1) It's meant to help out with Idol collection where there isn't bonus boss idols or the dungeons idol bonus, so yeah, it's a bit potent. It does cost e31 Idols to max, though, so the potency is intended.

Q2) I'll note that down on our potential launcher improvements list.

  • Grufflock skin, adorbs.

  • Since players feel the rewards from the season levels still aren't the best they could be, just looking for some ideas of what would be appreciated.

Hey Erica,

the first time I comment and I want to thank you all for your work. :)

I didn't have a chance yet to link my account so any kind of help there will be highly appreciated.

Hi CommanderLuca,

That's awesome, I'll pass it along to the team.

If you put in a ticket with your account name and where you were playing the before the death of Flash, we can get you sorted.

Morrigan for me please.

For season 3 I'd say more skins like Agent 79 and Epic Recipes.

Morrigan skin, got it.

Oooh, yeah, Agent 79's skin is awesome. Keeping the Epic Recipes around, cool cool.

Welcome back, I hope you had a great holiday!

I just wanted to find out if dungeon vouchers will carry over after the season ends or if they need to be spent before the season ends.

Oh, and thank you for the dungeon points buff over the holidays and for the extra week in dungeons!

Yup, the holiday was a good time. Hope you had an enjoyable time as well.

Dungeon vouchers won't expire, so you can hold on to the until you see a chest you like.

You're welcome! And now that we have the points buff in the game, it may make a return in future seasons. :)

SCARIER OGRE KINGS is today's chest code anagram. So scary skin for Grok or Narg then?

For the obvious question, any particular plan or goal for how long the break is between seasons this time around, or is it limited/based on development time of the 5th rune feature, and hence, not sure how many weeks it will be? Thanks!

EDIT: Also more long term question: Do you think in season 4, (or possibly season 5, the ~1 year anniversary of dungeons) you could bring back difficulty scaling for dungeons, as a speed feature?

E.g. once a player has unlocked level 20000 in a dungeon, "difficulty 1" appears as an option that changes the scaling such that it now takes the same dps as lvl20000 to beat lvl 10000. And the rewards for 10000 now also reflect what they would be if you hit 20000. So it speeds it up. You could of course scale it any way you want, and introduce multiple difficulty levels (e.g. once you reach level 20000 on diff1, you unlock diff2, so in the...

Oh cool that there's an anagram. Grok or Narg vote noted.

A few days at least for a break, given that we've extended the season a week. Not as long as last time though.

That could be a good use of the difficulty scaling, if we're aiming to keep the dungeon runs to a certain time length. We'll keep it in mind.

Cheers!

my request is more along the lines of can you enable access to options before completing the tutorial, so accounts can be linked more quickly?

No, the Linked Accounts option is locked until the tutorial is completed to prevent weird things from happening in the linking process.

Odile has become one of my favorite Crusaders for the Snowflake Hippos alone. Although they're a bit hard to see lobbed over a white background. ^^"

Please tell Kat this player loves the design for the Snowflake Hippos. I can already imagine the skin for Odile: civilian mode, before she goes full Winx magical girl.

Would love to see more characters from Odile's world and maybe some more of her backstory!

My vote's on Griz. Maybe some kind of steampunk hybrid?

Happy New Year!

Yeah, snow is kinda hard to see on white backgrounds, but I really do love how Kat managed to accomplish the Snowflake Hippo.

Jay did awesome writing the backstory, it might be cool to explore it more in the game.

Griz Steampunk skin, noted!

How about more chatrooms? I would prefer to use chatrooms special for language like chat room english 1, chatrom french 1, chatrom us 1, chatroom german 1 etc.

Easier for many users.

Second: it would be nice to mark friends to find them in the different chatrooms.

1) I'll add it to our list to consider for when we're adding more chat options.

2) We don't really plan on adding more friend functionality to the website at this time, but I'll note down the request.

Welcome back and thx as always for the chest. Hope your holiday break was just what you needed to recharge. One item I want to bring to your attention. When you made the change to "Fixed Odile's Scepter applying global effect to all Crusaders, instead of just herself." Not sure if it was intentional or un-intentional, but you nerfed her DPS power. since the change, I can do 400-700 levels "less" depending on the dungeon run. Please check into it please b/c it was really dis-heartening. Thank you.

You're welcome for the chest.

My break was pretty good, thank you for asking.

Odile's main power comes from her killing bosses with her projectile, it wasn't meant to come from her scepter. She's still uber powerful though.

Really happy the Q&A are back: a few things on my list

  1. I may just be missing something, but what did you mean by "2 prizes would you like to see awarded levels from season 3"? can you reword it a bit because I am missing what you mean.
  2. Could you describe the team's considerations for how you are deciding which slots new crusaders go into? I have been feeling like certain slots are extremely popular, while others are less so.

I don't have a strong preference, but I think i would lean towards are skin for Griz or nargulg

1) Ah, rushing. So there's the 25 main levels and the 15 bonus levels that give prizes. Just checking in what players might like to see them award for season 3.

2) Tier 1 and 2 event Crusaders were distributed among the original 20 bench seats. Tier 3 Crusaders saw them all lumped in seats 25 to 28, which honestly makes restricting objectives to just Tier 3 Crusaders a bit awkward, but was the plan for that event season.

Tier 4 events debuted some new bench seats, along with distributing Crusaders more evenly along the bench.

Tier 5 focused on getting Crusaders to 5 Crusaders per bench seat, plus adding a couple more new seats.

Tier 6 will continue filling out bench seats to roughly 5 Crusaders per seat. Mogra will be getting a bench seat friend soon, I just didn't want to do it back to back.

Griz and Nargulg skins, noted.
