Crusaders Community Q&A #222 with host Erika

Hi Erika!

Thanks for the chests as always. Following up on the new player experience questions from before, I remember something that was a huge turnoff for me was how long crusaders were injured for when I sent them on missions and failed them, especially if I sent my main DPS off on a recruit mission and was stuck resetting suboptimal free plays for even longer than I expected. Would there possibly be consideration of a low-tier talent that speeds up injury recovery time for crusaders, and/or possibly a higher tier talent that lowers the odds of a crusader getting injured on a Dangerous mission? Even at ~2m idols and having a decent (~30%) amount of crusaders I would consider a talent like that far more useful than The More The Merrier. Thoughts?

Hi Not_Pro,

You're welcome for the chests.

We weren't planning on having Talents that do anything for the injury timer, but I'll add it to our request list and we'll see what happens.

I think the injury mechanic was just to encourage you to find other formations in the meantime while the Crusader was injured.

Thursday night is the Game Awards. Will you be watching/'have it on as background while doing something else' & is there any game reveal/announcement you're hoping for?

Hi Cassius,

Given I have no idea what Game Awards you're referring to, no I won't be watching it. I honestly don't care about if a game has won an award or not. It just has to interest me if I'm gonna think about buying it and maybe or maybe not playing it.

Unfortunately, we've tried doing that twice now, and something about Adobe Air makes the game not load properly for the majority of players if we tell the game to try loading at the previously selected scaling. So it isn't something we can add.

Hi Kurt,

I use RoboRabit everyday now. It's just mildly annoying that something keeps switching back to the Wacking Bush. Other seat dont have that issue, is this something that can be changed?
Also, and I don't know if it is interesting enough, but maybe you could make a sader who increases DPS according to X amount of HP in the formation.
Thx.

Hi Xerxish,

It's a quirk of the game, almost all objectives specifically assign the Bush Whacker himself in the formation, which is why you always have to change back to RoboRabbit, if you don't have a saved formation you can load on area 1. The ones where he doesn't start in formation is because we've hardcoded the game change.

It's been on the request list to look into changing it to use the previously selected seat 1 Crusader if available for the objective, and I'll add your vote to that.

No real questions this time, looking forward to more talents

Not sure if there is a typo but you have a statement about transitioning accounts:

" Note: The launcher will work with Linux and Wine. Otherwise, you can try using the Steam version if you're a Linux user. "

The way this is written makes me think a "Not" is missing in the first sentence since it is followed by an alternate option for linux users. If I am reading into it too much, my bad.

You're welcome for the code.

No typos, though one could argue for being repetitive, since the Wine and Steam options both apply for Linux players and I do repeat Linux in there.

That's what I get for just appending information instead of reworking my opening post.

how much will the Gloria and Agent skins cost in the dungeon shop after Clocktower is over? Need to know how many dungeon coins to save!

Thank you...

Hi bobbanks77,

They'll be pricey, but I don't have hard numbers yet, sorry. Been focusing on the Talents so far.

Cheers.

Hope you and your family are doing well.

I had an idea for a talent. Essentially it is a talent that gives starting gold on certain types of runs (Free Play, Dungeons, maybe Challenges?). This would be similar to Cash in Hand. I was thinking rank 1 could give 1e10 gold and scale up an extra e5 per rank up to e100? The main idea is to make the beginning of new FP/Dungeon runs a bit less annoying as you'd be able to unlock the crusaders and get some upgrades unlocked right away.

Hi Axed_,

We're doing well, thank you. :) I hope you and yours are doing well too.

It's a talent idea that comes up on occasion. Given all the early tiers of the Talent tree are full now, I'm not sure it really makes sense to add in the Tier 7/8 range, but we'll keep the request in mind.

It also stops being useful once you've got enough Idols to be buying the Tier 7 talents, since the gold find from the Idols can get your formation set up before area 5.

Actually on the to-do for the Talent update, if we get to it. :)

As cubert notes, you can hold Ctrl + Shift while clicking the arrow to move from one end of the list to the other immediately.

The final Kat sheet of the year will be Snowball Fight.

Looking forward to seeing the Discord sheet. :)

Hey Erika, thanks for the code! Hope all of you are well at CNE.

A couple of suggestions.

  1. For the missions screen, a suggestion for the eventual reworking of that. If you're setting up an EP mission, if you have a bunch of them with the same number of tags to contribute, being able to have the ones with EP buffing runes show up first in the list. That may not be something for everyone, but maybe a way to turn on/off prioritizing of rune mission buffs. Just a thought...

  2. Any chance we might get the ability to "de-merge" a rune? Like turn a lvl 2 into two lvl 1 runes?

Hi Croq360,

Yeah, we're doing well over here. :)

I think we do need to figure out how to fit some extra filter choices somewhere on the screen, because there's the ascending/descending EP, and now rune effects, and I know not all players use the game's suggestion for filling the mission spots, so maybe a toggle for turning that off as well. Adding the request to the rework list. :)

We don't plan on allowing runes to be unmerged.

Hi Erika, any chance we could be able to see EP on the Rune screen? I keep having to go back to the crusader list to see which crusaders I want to buff with "share more EP with bench". I would also really appreciate the option to list crusaders by slot on the Rune screen, for the same reason. 43G1S to Tiernan is quite a long scroll.

Thank you!

Hi cubert73,

Hmm, that is a good idea. Looks like there is room on the Rune screen to have it surfaced somewhere. I'll talk to Kevin about it.

Bench Seat could make a good filter. I'll poke him about that too.

hello erika,

as always thanks for the code.

i have read that the fifth rune slots will be released step by step.

any info on who will get fifth rune slots first? original 20? T1?

any chance for an early jiao rune slot?

will the newest crusaders be the last to get their slots?

and i have read that the fifth rune slots will buff crusaders' formation abilities.

i guess with more than 150 crusaders and a max rune level of 15 nobody can really balance things out.

especially for crusaders like mindy.

she only has one formation ability to buff and it already is very powerful as it is now.

but will there be rune slots that are super powerful compared to others to make so far unused crusaders more useful than now?

something that will change things a lot?

or are you trying to balance the buff from the fifth rune slot so that the buff will be ~ the same benefit for every crusader?

im really...

Hi Made_In_The_80s,

You're welcome for the code.

The plan for the 5th slot runes is in batches by Crusader ID still.

The 5th slot runes will buff one of the 6 upgrades on a Crusader, as appropriate. Unlike the current runes, which have the same scaling for every Crusader, the 5th slot runes will have to have a personal scaling for leveling up as well, so depending on which upgrade we've chosen it doesn't get crazy big.

Is there an indication when a mission returns double rewards? I haven't a lot of %age chance of it out there yet, but I'm not sure if I've not yet been lucky, or have had a hit and not noticed.

Also, which missions can be doubled and which not? I'm guessing the EP missons not as that has a separate rune boost (or can both hit?)

Yeah, if it doubles you'll see the text "Double Success" instead of the normal "Success" text when you complete it.

All missions can be doubled, even the EP missions with a extra EP Rune Crusader on them, if you send a Crusader with a double success rune on it and get lucky with the chance to double applying.

Any chance for a slider to move through crusaders in the missions screen rather than clicking the arrow?

Hi SanjeepTheJeep,

I'll add your vote to our potential improvements list for the mission screen.

You can use the mousewheel to scroll the list, or hold the Shift Key while clicking the arrow to move 8 Crusaders at once.

Can we ask why the Kat hates Christmas, or is that none of our business?

Hi Legitimate-Guitar,

You can try asking Kat why on stream, but no guarantees she'll share.

Since it’s the last stream ever this week will you be showing the new T6 and Skin respectively?

Hi Environmental_Nerve2,

It's only the last stream of 2020. We'll be back in 2021.

We will be teasing the Christmas Crusader, as the stream is a week out from the event.

We might tease more about the skin other the tidbit that we shared that Xander is getting the skin.

  1. So will we have new objectives by this time next year?

  2. Could we ever see an upgraded version of Idols Over Time? Like “Even More Idols Over Time”

Hi N00byDoobyDoo,

1) I think we can add more permanent objectives over the course of 2021.

2) We aren't currently planning on doing something like Idols Over Time, but there's always a possibility. I'll add it to our list of requested Talents.
