Dear CNE, looking forward to your downloadable launcher, It should fit into a windowed section on my new 35" Ultrawide.

Sounds like a fun new monitor to enjoy. :)

Hi Erika,

I'd be interested in a setting option that allowed us to use the saved formations for our legendary equipment levels too (or a separate set of presets). Any thoughts?

Hi PushPresto,

It's something that's come up over the years. I'll add your vote to it on our suggestion list.

so to be clear, we can open Jeweled Chests, just dont use the cats for crafting or buying skins, until the new feature? also will 100 catalysts be enough to get us started on what ever it is we are now saving them for?

Yes, you could open Jeweled chests.

I would love for the crusaders team to take a look at the talent for increasing the odds of getting short duration missions. I have not been leveling this talent because I actually like getting the longer missions, because they reward more EP per mission and I don't really want to micromanage doing the 10 minute missions all day.

If I have misunderstood how the talent works, then I would suggest changing the text on the talent so that it makes its effect more clear(because it currently reads like a negative effect to me).

Hi JuJuBee2006,

The Impatience Talent does make it so that the EP and Gold missions that are 3 hours in original duration or less do show up more often.

Most players like it since it can give them a better EP/hour rate, or at least makes it easier to cycle through the Crusaders who need EP.

We do also have a bunch of Rare and Epic missions that give up to 8 EP to each Crusader that are 3 hours or less, so that Talent increases the chance that you can get one of those missions to show up.

Erica, you are one of the best CMs you can meet (compared to some Russian MMOs)!

So just one question - will we continue to meet crusaders who gradually build up their strength, going through campaigns (like the Evil Dentist)?

Mercy for the chests!)

Hi dimitrius5naj,

Cheers!

I think it would be fun to put out more Crusaders like Almquist, though there aren't any in the next few upcoming events.

Hi Erika,

Thanks as always for the code! I'm really excited for Carnival of Sorrows and the new Tier 6 crusaders. Tier 5 had some amazing crusaders, looking forward to playing around with the Tier 6 gang.

Hi Croq360,

You're welcome for the code. We're excited to let the Tier 6 gang have some fun!

I was wondering would we see in futur a crusader with a new ability (like stormrider or firestorm) ? I was thinking maybe one that upgrade the chance of quest item

We aren't currently planning on adding another Crusader with an active ability, but it has come up in the past. I'll add another vote for the possibility.

Hey Erika, thanks for the code. I'll have to check out the book, I loved the Eragon series and was not aware Christopher Paolini had written sci-fi. I have one question this week. When Dungeons re-open are they going to be the same general format? 15 runs a week, resetting Thursdays? or is that changing too? It was nice to be able to have the challenge at the end of the dungeon week so we could decide if we wanted to spend a lot of time on the challenge or not depending on how many dungeon runs we had left.

Hi Sylexy,

Yeah, the book only dropped on the 15th of September, but a couple of the BookTubers I watch had interviews with him and reviewed prerelease copies, which is how it hit my radar.

I'm really curious what the next book in the Fractalverse will cover, since I had some unanswered questions.

There will be some tweaks to the Dungeons. I was thinking of moving the dungeon reset day away from Thursdays, and try out a Tuesday or Wednesday reset day. And lowering the runs per week, so it's not as crazy to try and get them all done.

Hey Erika,

I've been playing LostIdols through Firefox and with the newest update, i can no longer access the game. The game loads, but the opening screen is so zoomed in that I can't see/reach the 'start' button so I'm just stuck at the landing page. I'd like to transfer my account to steam, but since I can't access my old game, I cannot even reach the 'link account' option to copy it. Is there a fix for this?

Hi IBCitizen,

Is this Firefox on a Mac or a PC?

We did note that Crusaders will load properly in Chrome on a MacBook, confirmed this morning.

Otherwise, you can put in a ticket and I can get you a link code.

Thanks for the codes.

Without giving away what they are for please can you let us have a reasonable figure for the number of rubies and JCs we should keep back.

Hi billyjoe99,

You're welcome for the code.

The Jeweled chests are for Legendary catalysts, so if you've got a stash of those, you're good there.

A few thousand or so rubies on hand would be a good number.

Quick trivia: Ready Player Two (the book) is coming out in November. Will you change the campaign's name to Ready Player Three? ;)

Also, thank you for the break between the dungeons. The last few weeks were quite hectic to get Li'l Reaper and all the 10k achievements, but I managed to do it just in time. I literally got the Sunday Stroll 10k on my last run, after the Crypt was finished! The sprint runs since then are quite stressless and even relaxing so again, much obliged for that. Even if my idols grow only thanks to missions, I don't mind it at all.

That said, when is the Clocktower getting here already? ;)

Hi rjakubec,

Good question. I'll run it by the team.

I'm glad you're enjoying the break period. :)

The Clocktower, aka Season 2, will arrive precisely when it means to.

Hey Erika, first thanks for the weekend buff, really got me further in game, wish it lasted longer!

  1. If someone had 50.000 rubies would you say they are under prepared, or over prepared for the new upcoming new feature?
  2. And if someone had 500.000 Jeweled Chests, would you say they are under or over prepared for the new feature?
  3. Would it be bad to assume to season 2 of dungeons will be sometime after Carnival of Sorrows ends, but before Emos New Moon Begins? Asking for a friend

Hi N00byDoobyDoo,

That's awesome, glad you like the weekend buff.

1 & 2) Very overprepared. :)

3) I can't give an ETA on the update, sorry.

The Desert Bus Crusaders don't come with EP.

Good morning!

Before we begin today, I hope you are safe wherever you are, and that you are in a position to take care of yourselves during this time of change.

 

I read To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Paolini this weekend. It was an interesting foray into sci-fi. Inspired me to pick up with the Murderbot series and get back to the books the Expanse was based on.

 

For those of you who are joining us for the first time, I'm Erika, the Live Services Manager for Crusaders of the Lost Idols and Community Manager for Codename Entertainment, and I will ...

1. For obvious reasons, I'm sure you don't want to make any promises about when the next Dungeon season is going to start.

Is it possible for you to give us an "it's going to be at least this long" kind of idea? e.g., is this a "Yeah, there's zero chance that this is going to be released in the next (week/two weeks), and who knows how much longer it'll take than that" type of thing?

2. Dungeon pass: I'd suggest the best direction for this would be as a way for casual players or people who started late to catch up in a Dungeon season.

So, for example:

  • A pool of extra Dungeon runs (say, 60), which don't refresh but get dipped into if you run out of weekly runs. That's not going to matter for most players, since most players are going to have a tough time doing all 15, but it's a way for spenders who start mid-season to try to catch up.

  • Consumable which lets you reroll which objectives get which bonuses

  • ...

Hi AllShallBeWell,

1) Well, the event launch is next week, so I feel confident in saying that season two won't be dropping next week.

2) We'll keep the idea of ways for players to catch up on season progress.

3) It is on the to-do list to look at the bonus rotation over the Dungeons. We'll keep the request in mind.

No new sheet this week, but I've started an activity to collect new submissions of older sheets.

Hail Crusaders!

Due to a number of factors this week, there isn't a new colouring sheet to feature.

However, we are still having the activity available, to get you towards the next buff! You can choose any of the old colouring sheets, and submit a new coloured-in version of it, to try and hit the goal! Or get closer to it for next week!

 

If we get 50 coloured sheets shared at us on our Twitter or ...
