I have to grumble a little and I'm sorry in advance for that. I understand the desire for more challenging objectives for the hardcore players, and I realize there is some difficulty in balancing difficulty. The frustration for me was hitting a wall about 20 levels short of getting Mogra, despite spending a crap ton on talents.

I have been playing since the very first event (filthy casual player) and for me the draw has always been getting new characters to play with. It was my assumption that the new skin was the "special" prize, hence it is at the end. So I cannot immediately understand why the recruitment mission had to be nightmare level hard. I don't care about not finishing the event, but by making the recruitment so hard you have taken away the reason I get excited for events, and by extension the main reason I even play the game. Please consider scaling back the difficulty a little just for recruitment missions, if your team hears this.

Hi PunkyKiss,

That's totally understandable.

The idea behind Tier 6 events being harder is that, if you're making it to Tier 6 events, then you've probably got in the billions of idols, legendary items and formation building skills to tackle it, especially if you've been able to clear the Infinity and Beyond objectives and Bullet Hell.

Or you can figure out tricks to clear it, like using Oona and Thoonoose to push the last few areas, like some players did, if you had them.

Is that with or without Christian holidays? Because in the Netherlands, we get three secular holidays, including New Years Day.

The 10 includes Good Friday, Christmas Day and New Years.

Out of sheer curiosity, how many official holidays does Canada have?!

We've only got the 10 stat holidays for BC province at this time.

Hello! I'm still new at this game and I don't know if this is where to post this. In the Carnival of Sorrows event I'm unable to start the Tier 6 objectives. I've met all the requirements but I can't start the mission to recruit the Ring Leader. Help!

Hello!

If you've completed all the Tier 5 objectives for Carnival of Sorrows and completed To Infinity and Beyond on Ghostbeard's Greed, then the other piece of the puzzle as to why you couldn't start the Recruit Mogra objective would be not enough event currency on hand at the time you tried to start it.

Hey Erika,

I was thinking e12 from everything combined. Else it would get rather nuts, I fear. Various idol bonuses would indeed apply, as normally from idols gained from purchasing levels. This new bonus would apply on all objectives (ruby objectives, dungeons, FPs, challenges, etc). However, the new bonus could only be increased by buying more talent levels and gathering enough Dungeon Points to unlock more Dungeon levels.

You like it if players try to get as far as possible on a run, right? Imho, this game has a solid core mechanic if you want to reward that. Levels purchased, areas unlocked, time spent… But it’s been lying in the dust, while bonus idols and percentage-of-current-idols have taken the spotlight. Let’s dust it off, because it’s perfect if going deep is what you want to reward.

For funsies, I did a FP today. It netted me 9,253,634,727,028 idols. If we subtract 9,253,612,143,007 from Bonus Idols, we are left with 22,584,021 idols (22,671,092 ...

That does clarify things, thank you for that. :)

what was supposed to be a short break has started to become a very real reason not to continue playing, as there's not been more than a few hours of content worth playing for what is soon 3 weeks, and with no apparent end in sight I am really having a hard time finding a reason to open the game as it is. There's a difference between having not having new content to increase the incentive to play, but removing the dungeons, and then not having anything in its stead for what appears to be more than a month is straight up devastating.

That is a fair point.

We really do want the new game system and season 2 of the dungeons to debut together, which is why they've been our main focus.

I'll discuss with the team what the options are.

Hello Erika,

Thank you for the response. I understand that Time Warps from Jeweled Chests are a good way to earn more Event Tokens though I suspect that many newer players don't realize this. Perhaps there is a way to communicate to players that this is the intended way to earn more event tokens?

Thanks!

It's called out in the "How do I get more Event Tokens?" section of the event FAQ already actually, but we can look into adding it more places.

Hi Erika,

I hope you are doing well in these wild times.

I know you can't give a date on Season 2 but I am curious, do you think this will happen in 2020, or is next year a more likely outcome?

I ask mostly because I am kind of out of content. I have epic/legendaries for all crusaders and FP gives such an insignificant amount of idols that I just do sprint runs for resources. I've done all the ruby challenges so I'll I can do is FP and events when they come around (unfortunately I finish them in like 2 days).

Hi isawbones,

We're doing well. I hope you are too.

Oh, it should definitely happen in 2020.

We are aware that some veterans are without content while the Dungeons are turned off, which is why season 2 and the new system are our main focus at the moment.

And the last thing for today. I hope! :-)

Is there a chance that shooting crusaders will have a tag added to indicate this?

It's been requested that they have a tag, but it's not in our current plans.

Hello

It would be great for gold missions to show high ep crusaders first. I'd like to save my low ep crusaders for ep missions and I'd like them not to show up first on gold missions. Perhaps there's an easy fix?

Cheers

Hi Xerxish,

Changing the sort of the Crusaders by ascending or descending EP is something that is on our request list and I'll add your vote to the item.

hi,

is there any chance that Carmen & Petunia's dwarf skin can be altered so that when it's equipped the "Work the Crowd" FA is based on Dwarves instead of Humans? in it's current state the skin effects actually make them worse as the ability doesn't change with them.

Hi Halaberd85,

Once we start giving out skins that change effects, we may revisit their skin and update that ability.

1) But I don't see this bonus when hovering over the Princess upgrade icons.

2) Thank you. It's just that I myself came across the fact that I used several extra cards in vain. I think it's not reasonable to contact support because of such a trifle, but it's still a pity to reboot the world when it has active buffs.

3) Well, if we compare the bonuses of legendary items from Oona and Hildr ...

4) This is probably a very long list ... And if not a secret - how big?

1) So you want it to tell you "buffed by Mead Powered"?

4) It's a big list.
