For people that are lower power it's really hard now to get all the previous dungeon rewards, now that a few have accumulated. Maybe they could be bundled and/or heavily discounted?
We discounted the Little Reaper taskmaster at the start of season 5, as it had been a year since it was released.
We're planning on discounting the season 2 skins with the start of season 6.
And I may revisit the coin drops for season 6 a little bit as well.
Hi, Erika. How's the team doing?
I got a question, do you know if the Tiernan dlc on steam will be going on sale at some point?
Hi belkak210,
The team is doing well, thank you. We hope you're well too.
I'm planning on including the Tiernan DLC in the next Steam sale, so it will have a bit of a discount.
When is the next dungeon season scheduled to start? Also how long is a dungeon season?
Hopefully soon, like within the next month. I'll have a better grasp on the date next week as we get some of the tech sorted out.
The season length has ended up varying across all 5 seasons so far, but ideally it would be 12 weeks long, with the week break between them.
Can we replay earlier seasons? I missed the first 4 and didn't get really far last season.
While we're planning on just running the same 4 season UI flavours, we don't plan on rerunning a season.
The major items from the older seasons are available in the dungeon depot for dungeon coins.
Hail and well met!
Before we begin: I hope you're all staying safe and being kind.
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 I will do my best to answer your Crusaders questions. This Q&A is so you know where to find one of the team to chat Crusaders weekly.
I will be answering questions live for the first hour and then checking back throughout the week.
The previous Q&A: Number 270!
Should just be a visual glitch with the tooltip. The projectile should still damage monsters correctly.
We'll have the tooltip fixed in our next update to the game.
Vote for Zuc, Garnet, or Matt please! I liked the balance we got for better rewards the deeper you go in the dungeons - I hope continue to see that for points and coins next season. Great for when I work all day!
Thank you for the skin votes!
New season, new drop tables, but hopefully not as bumpy as the start to last season. :)
Welcome back from the holidays. Hopefully you been well rested.
Hey Erika, as a possible QOL improvement would be a collect all missions rewards. I understand that each mission has its own rewards and items but at this stage can we get a summary screen showing all the rewards so that we can save 15 min of clicking thru a mission rewards when we have 16 missions running.
Hi FrequentWay,
Tackling the mission screen is something it would be nice to do this year, so we'll see what happens. I'll add your vote for the quicker completion to the item on our list.
HNY to the team and hope the break was restful.
Re the Skin, I'm on board with an earlier suggestion, something for Mycall, that little mushroom has been stuck in the dark for a while, so something bright and sparkly.
The break was good, thank you.
Mycall vote, noted!
Hi Erika!
Sorry for being late (as usual).
Hmm, I think a Robot Zuczek could look seriously cool (and would be mighty useful) so that's probably my number 1 vote. Alternatively: Leprechaun Garnet, going with some kind of prospector, jeweler or appraiser aesthetic could work, or a Dwarf Hildr with some viking-like aesthetics?
Hi Daurakin,
Robot Zuczek does sound like a pretty cool look. Thank you for all the skin ideas. :D
Happy New Year, and thanks for the chest code.
My wish for a skin would be a Quetzalcoatl skin for Draco is I've floated before, but I don't imagine that would be a popular choice.
Second choice reserved for an oft-used Crusader...maybe Thalia? Technically Thalia has a skin but it's an update of his base graphic, not a unique skin.
I had a third thought briefly, but it left, so I'll leave it at that.
Happy New Year!
You're welcome for the chest code. :)
Draco or Thalia, noted. Thank you!
Hi there!
I'm quite happy with the level I will end up with at the end of dungeon season 5. I'm glad the higher levels give only materials and runic chests, because it's a lot less stressful than the earlier seasons. So thank you for that!
I didn't even notice that Mycall has no skin. So I'll vote for him (Zuczek and Garnet are still rather new), let's see what kind of fun skin you'll come up with.
I'm looking forward for the mission screen overhaul, I haven't been doing gold or ep missions in a while. Please don't forget to make going deep on the challenges a bit faster. Also, any new talents on the horizon?
Cheers and HNY to everyone reading!
Hi rjakubec,
Glad you're happy with the season rewards. :)
Mycall skin, noted.
Not thinking about new talents at the moment, but there might be some this year.
Cheers!
My vote for the skin is mycall. The little shroom has been a consistent workhorse even after being overshadowed by tiernan. Tiernan who stole their main ability, had a stronger accessory kit, stronger rune, and managed to get their skin first despite being released second. Yeah i think the little shroom deserves some new duds.
I'm curious as to the goal of the "DPS Buff" rewarded from doing "The One" objective. Since it doesn't actually increase your dps by e50, even a single level 1 sader makes the amount negligible at the point you acquire the reward, and objectives are difficult enough e50 would get you relatively few areas if you did run with 0 dps the use case seems limited at best
Mycall skin, noted!
We just hadn't given out anything that did flat DPS in all the years the game has been running, and it was an option we came up with when discussing potential new rewards.
Read moreSome requests:
1.) Not every Crusader that's worth using uses fire runes. The three most important runes in most people's forms are Marzimallow, Zuczek, and Garnet, all three of which are fire. Bruno is important as well (earth) but that's still only two types of runes really being used. Now with the release of Ligeia, there's yet another crusader that wants more fire.
2.) On a related note: Ligeia is next to useless for me. In runs where I need a lot of DPS, Matt gives me an increase of nearly e4000, and I would need nearly 100K stacks with R11 in order to equal that, by which time you'd probably implement a cap on the number of stacks on her. If I could use Matt alongside Ligeia, then she might be usable, but as things currently stand, it's just not worth it.
3.) For Season 6 (and possibly Season 5 if you can), I'd like the points buff from the season pass to work retroactively. I'm currently at level 35 in the dungeons, and the 25% points buff would get m...
1) Rune distribution is random when we make a new Crusader. It's just how things shake out.
2) Thank you for the feedback.
3) Interesting idea. I'll add it to our list to consider.
4) We show the recipe in the Dungeon Depot because the currency that purchases it is limited, and with not a lot of opportunities to earn more. We don't plan on changing how the one in the Challenge Token store works, since you will need to own all the recipes at some point, but I'll note down the request was made.
Reminds me of the newspaper misprint years ago that advertised "sleighing with Satan" instead of with Santa. If this one wins, could you make a reference to that?
Maybe. The tech to rename some of the flavour when equipping a skin does exist.
Matt, Springy, or Zukzek, in that order.
Matt, with something that gives him something, anything, other than DPS, male, human, good. His attributes are so basic.
I could see Springy patched together as a robot or a zombie, or with flower quilt fabric to make him flora...
Zuczek, I don't even care. I use her so much, I just want an alternative look that swaps out attributes.
And I'm just gonna add this here, even though it's not really the answer to this question... I really, really, really want a feminine, "pretty" unicorn. Even though it would be a second skin for Bruno... or maybe, could you put the thought of "riffing on The Last Unicorn" somewhere among the storyline ideas? I'd take a second unicorn... and now that I'm thinking about that, a good skin / idea for it might be a seahorse unicorn...
(Total Last Unicorn fangirl here)
Oh man, a zombie version of Springy would look pretty cool.
Thanks for the skin votes!
We'll keep a pretty unicorn skin in mind, as either a Bruno skin, or changing up someone else's tags.
Hi and welcome back!
A skin for Dr. Almquist is my vote.
:)
Hi!
Oooh, Dr. Almquist request, a neat one!
