Hi, Erika. Thanks for the chests.

I have a request, it's certainly not something I could call high priority but it's something I've been meaning to ask after for a while. After you upgrade a piece of equipment to Epic rarity, you lose the ability to look at the crafts for that item. Which also means you lose the ability to look at the flavor text for them. Is there any way that a way to view those pieces could be implemented, like maybe a hover over the recipe dot or something? Again, small thing, but I enjoy looking at some of the descriptions, especially of the common and uncommon which often tend to be sillier.

Hi DoctorNovakaine,

You're welcome for the chests.

Yeah, it comes up every so often. It would be really cool I think to be able to see the old gear cards and the flavour text. It just hasn't been a high priority and we haven't agreed on how best to display it.

A long time ago, I was attracted to your game by two codes on the DLC, distributed on one of the sites. Are you planning to resume this promotion, or give out a few more codes (in limited quantities, of course)?

We aren't planning on doing DLC giveaways like in the past, but I suppose we could do raffles for DLC or something else on the stream or our social media accounts.

Hi Erika,

As always, thank you for your work in building a strong community around this game. It's always good to see a company that listens to and engages with their customers/fans.

I am a player who has played the game off and on about 3 years now. Over time I have missed quite a few of the events and as a result it can be quite difficult to unlock some of the new crusaders due to the event token costs. For example, I'm currently working my way through Tiers 1-6 of Carnival of Sorrows

My question is: How do you guys feel about players not having enough event tokens to complete all of the objectives in a single year? Would you consider adding an option for players to buy additional event tokens?

Thank you!

Hi Axed_,

Cheers! I'll pass along the praise to the team.

We only really expect a player to be able to do two or three tiers of an event, with the repeating of events, though some players are pretty gungho and power through all the tiers of an event.

We haven't discussed selling event tokens outright, but I'll bring it up with the team.

You do get event currency from using the Time Warps however, and the event Jeweled chests have guaranteed Time Warps as the 5th card, though that can be replaced with a Legendary Catalyst on occasion. Normal Jeweled chests are a bit more of a gamble on getting the Time Warps, but they are a way to build up a stash as well.

Hello Erika

When do You plan to start the 2nd season of dungeons?
Could this be before the recipes for Mogra are available?

Greetings
Maciek

Hi Maciek,

As soon as we feel ready for the second season and the new system's release, we'll release it.

Cheers!

Erica, hello!

First about bugs. There is a problem with the Princess upgrades. She does not visually display bonuses from Hildr. Or don't work. Unclear.

Second. Are you familiar with the term "pity timer" associated with games? This is when the player does not roll, or tries to use the maximum involved bonus or resource. Sometimes this is harmful, because there is an opportunity to get a larger bonus, but the player feels sorry for the previous one (for which a lot of time or resources of the previous quality may have been spent). This situation occurs with green Speed ​​and Gold cards. They accumulate a huge amount (due to the huge number of silver chests), but it is very difficult to spend them. And if they were spent, then with the "unburned" bonus, it's a pity to close the campaign. I would like to ask you for some kind of solution to this issue. I only see two. Make a talent or something similar that will reduce the running time of these cards, instead of incre...

Hi dimitrius5naj,

1) Hildr works on Princess. My Princess has 30% DPS all for Ignite, Char, Conflagrate, and Incinerate. When I put my Hildr next to her, that becomes 75% DPS, so Mead Powered is buffing those upgrades.

2) The buff card buffs are meant to clear with resetting the world, so players have a reason to use their supply of cards, but I'll note down the request.

3) Depending on what the Legendary effect is doing, it will have a different leveling scheme.

4) I'll add your votes to both those requests and we'll see what happens.

5) You're welcome for the code.

Hi Erika, long time since I posted here last time. I return with a question that I asked many times before hoping for a better and concrete answer giving the timing. With the death of flash what happen with linux players, even a official linux to Steam, right now is in a way that is risky for us, even Steam tells us that, so it wouldn't be a way to diffirenciate if is a Steam problem in our way or is on CNE. Sorry for the repeat.

Hi genner13,

We won't be making a separate Linux version of Crusaders.

The CNE Games version will be a launcher for Windows or Mac.

The Steam one is Windows or Mac as well, with the Steam Play option for Linux players.

Is it possible to display the current number of stacks on the last formation ability of the Unicorn? I beg you!)

I'll check with Kevin. :)

Hi Erika, I'm wondering if we can get the current stack count displayed on Bruno's MG in addition to the bonus. Since it is capped now, it would be nice to see at a glance how far it has to go to the cap. Not a huge deal, but more of a QoL thing. Thanks for the chests also!

Hi kaosduke,

That's a fair request. I'll check with Kevin on if we can get that added to the Marvelous Gold tooltip.

You're welcome for the chests. :)

Hi Erika,

I was wondering about the giant gap in difficulty between the event objectives. The final T2 objective for Sasha's Schoolhouse was trivial for me at about 30k idols, whereas I had 50,000+ idols for Carnival's T2 5th and had to slog for about half an hour to get my first DPS crusader, and burnt a couple hundred silver chests to barely reach area 550 for the event. Will there be future rebalancing of event objectives to all be at about the same level for each tier across different events? I was very shocked by how difficult it was to get going given the relative ease of the Schoolhouse objectives.

Hi Not_Pro,

We aren't planning on revisiting the difficulty of old objectives at this time.

We do want there to be some challenging objectives in the game, and The Price of Admission was one of those.

Hello Erika!

This is an incredibly minor point, but it drives me nuts: The game tries to sort cursaders as they are best matched for missions, in the order of fewest to most enchantment points. For the "Training Montage" missions it ALWAYS puts Paul the Pilgrim first because he's a Tank, Support and Gold crusader. The problem is he's an Elf, and not a Human or Animal. The mission requires 3 crusaders and none of them can be an elf. Can you and an additional heuristic to sorting crusaders for missions to rule out ones that don't meet all of the qualifications?

Hi Ultravod,

You could send Paul, Shenna or Euodia, and then any other Animal Crusader on the mission for 100%. That would be why the game puts him there.

I'll add your vote to tweaking the mission list sorting on our suggestion list though.

Is it just me or is tier six (this new event) substantially harder than tier five was last year? Like... I swear I more or less coasted idle in the last year, objective after objective and every single tier 6 objective has been.... let's call it a struggle bus. like a choose the wrong crusader and fail the objective kind of struggle bus. Thanks in advance. :)

Hi gordond,

The Tier 6 events are harder than the Tier 5 events with the difficulty compression.

That's why they have the requirements of completing To Infinity and Beyond and Bullet Hell noted, since you'll need to be able to craft a formation with over 1e400 DPS to complete all 5 Tier 6 objectives.

Thanks for the chests as always, how's the S2 of the dungeons coming along? Anything you can share? Any thoughts on an ETA?

You're welcome for the chests.

Progress is going, though I'm still torn about the pass rewards. The new system is looking cool.

No ETA to share yet, sorry.

Hey Erika

Any way to trick Kat into liking Rick and Morty, so she comes up with a crusader based on Rick for the Emo event, that has the ability to open sprint portals from 5 up to 50 boss areas? Example if you were on area 4010 it could have a 10% chance to “portal” you to 4060 after defeating the boss.[let’s assume those bosses weren’t going to drop bonus idols any way]

Hi N00byDoobyDoo,

Kat has plans for a really cool horror-themed Crusader for Emo's event, which means no Rick.

I'll add the "sprint portal" idea to the list of potential Crusader abilities on our suggestion list to consider.

You're welcome for the chests.

The fog these past few days has been rather impressive, that's for sure. Wasn't too bad this morning in town, but the mountains had their foggy halos.
