So annoyed with the growing number of talent tiers...

Random thought that I had earlier that could be mentioned here... What if there was a fourth category for talents (or a whole second page for talents with its own trio of categories)? I had the thought when I looked at the discussion topic that people linked to in here about analyzing Momma's Monster, specifically my thought was to kind of imagine some sort of synergy category where you could add in new bonuses for specific types of characters to supplement them beyond what certain characters and certain pieces of legendary gear (and the tier 3 talent called synergy, as well) have been able to do. Granted, a design challenge for you in this would be making the bonuses just generic and multi-purpose enough to give reason for wanting to level everything instead of just picking your favored team and sticking to it religiously. It's either that or you make free talent resets replenishable in-game somehow instead of eve...

Hi Erika,

Is there anything you can tease about the Talents update? Will we see anything change for the lower tier talents, or is it just an update for higher-end talents? Also, any thoughts on an earlier talent that helps improve gold find, or would that be too much of a noob trap / waste of a talent slot?

Hello Erica. Thanks for the chests.

There seem to be some error with Dr. Evil's Humane testing ability. It increases DPS by 600% with 3 infected Human Crusaders by reduces the effect by 100% per infected Animal Crusader. So when I infect 7 Animal crusaders, the effect turns negative 100% and disables all my DPS. Is it intended to work this way or is it some bug/wrong coding ??

By the way, I am using Evanascent with Euodia in the same column to infect 3 Humans & 6 Animals and passing the effect with Langley.

ok im sorry I obviously wasn't being clear, IL rephrase, will we ever get renewable rubie sources, that will allow us to get at least 300 rubies a week?

Is there a level limit on runes? I don't want to obsessively keep runes, but I don't want to waste solvent taking off level fives if level twenty is a thing. Its weird but it would help me choose a stopping point if I knew there was a limit

"Mystic Paint Thinner" mission still not yet fixed, it was show nothing in "Complete now" and it also need to reload game again to see it in Runes' windows

Wasn't there a plan to rerun objectives for maybe less rubies or did it get dropped or changed?

I added some feedback in another thread (piggybacking on the hard work Grag did) on the context for how DPS crusaders are used, that I hope might be useful to you.

Can you share what the formations look like that you used to test and compare MM, perhaps in the stream?

Hey Erika, how are you and the team doing?

Last week the new T6 was released and he was very underwhelming, I don't think he even breaks the top 5 for dps in the game.

Grag made a post with our testing and I'm interested to hear whether the new sader will recieve a buff or whether he was bugged or something? Cause right now he is totally useless.

Hi there.

Momma's Monster is horribly underperforming for a t6 dps. A more in-depth analysis has been made by a number of people in another thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lostidols/comments/jyknvg/mommas_monster_feedback/

Is there a plan to readjust his values, or even tweak his mechanics to make him up to par?

Thanks for the chests as always.

I wrote up some feedback on Momma's Monster here

https://www.reddit.com/r/lostidols/comments/jyknvg/mommas_monster_feedback/

Have you gotten any other feedback about them, if so, anything to share? Now that they've been out for a few days I would love to hear your thoughts on if they accomplished what you wanted from them.

Edit: One of the more in depth comments on that thread that should also be checked is by the user u/AllShallBeWell

It would be better if you added them as a weekly reward in all fp objectives. Weekly meaning you get a ruby reward only once from each fp obj after reset, where a 7day timer resets at a specific time (ie at 1pm PST every Monday) allowing rubies to be claimed again. With 9 fp objectives a fair value of 30 rubies per obj would give everyone 270 extra rubies each week. Your still short 30 rubies but hey, its a rune chest so working to get at least 1 is all but mandatory. :D

ps Thanks for the chest.

Howdy - I know we've made a number of suggestions and requests for search/filter updates on the Mission screen. Runes came along and added a bunch of new requests. Is there a timeline for a revamp of the Mission screen?

Also, regarding Momma's Monster, if y'all do decide to revamp him, would it be possible to get a heads up? Like "We've decided to revamp MM and will be releasing it around XX/XX/XX"

Thanks.

Hi Erika,

Just a question on talent update: I'm guessing it's going to be a lateral update, rather than a whole new tier?

Thanks.

Hi, Erika. Thanks for the chests!

I know I'm looking a bit forward but I'm curious about the Christmas event's crusader. Any hints about them that you'd be willing to divulge?

I think it'd be cool down the line to see one based on one of the more sinister bits of Christmas folklore (e.g. Krampus) or some other bizarre traditions (e.g. Mari Lwyd).

EDIT: Oh, another question/suggestion, a little more meaty. This has to do with the Blast To The Past challenge. It currently only allows T1 crusaders. While not an inherently bad idea for a challenge, it has the distinction of being the only challenge where progression is nigh impossible if you've unlocked everyone. We're never getting another T1 crusader, and unless Runes turn out to be absolutely ridiculous, it's going to lag further and further behind the other challenges. Have you considered the possibility of adding tiers to this? Say, keeping it 3 or 4 tiers behind the current one, but slowly allowing...

I want to draw attention to the fact that Scientific Tinkering is just a flat 125% dps boost. It is currently not dependent on rune level or anything, so it is right now almost 10 time weaker than the 1000% dps ability. Being the last ability, I expected that you may have wanted this to be the strongest ability, but it is in fact the weakest ability by a huge margin. Changing this to also work with max level rune and increasing the base to 150% bonus would still be weaker than jiao, but at least it would get it into a top 5 DPS as right now it is not even in the top 5.
