Yes, I understand that Carmen and Petunia's level up button does not affect Xygallix.

I know I can automatically click on Xygallix's Level up button and that its dps. I can use a taskmaster for this.

What I was wanting to know is a way to automatically click on the Hourly Rate button which increases global dps. I cannot use a taskmaster for this; I have to click it manually.

Thanks,

Sophie

Assigning a taskmaster to any Crusader will purchase any upgrade that is available to purchase, if you have enough gold on hand.

Assigning the taskmaster to Xygallix will buy levels of Hourly Rate (an upgrade) and will buy levels on Xygallix, whichever is cheaper at the time it clicks the button.

You don't need a taskmaster assigned just to Hourly Rate.

Hello Erika.

I have a question about Flash Sales:

When i get a Flash Sale and it for X amount of time, i think the reset timer starts when the Flash Sale time ends wether it's bought or not.

But what i wanted to know is if the 4 to 7 day timer is checked once a day or constantly.

As an example: if my flash sale ends at 9PM local time, then i need to wait atleast 4 days after that for a Flash Sale. But does it only check every day @ 9PM, or can it happen at any time after the 4 days are over? Making it usefull to reload every so often to see if you get another Flash Sale.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sjinkogaming,

Yes, the timer until the next sale starts at the time the old sale expired, purchased or not.

The game only triggers a normal flash sale on loading the game, if you're reloading the game after the randomly chosen period in the 4 to 7 day range has passed when its doing the check on load.

Hi Erika, I know that adjusting the game is good and needed. This mid season nerf was much more damaging to those in the middle than to those at the top. Friends who had two to three times the number of idols I had now have 20 to 30 times as many. They also have the amazing idol buff that I had no way to get. Frankly in a depressing world of fires, disease and despots, this has become another depressing place

Hi cschwa,

Thank you for the feedback on the idol changes in the dungeons.

However, there's always going to be a spread between players with idols, since some players just play differently from than others.

Might be too late for season 1, but now that I finally hit level 25...I find that there's no purpose to extra dungeon points. Maybe they could convert to coins?

We're entertaining plans of doing something with dungeon points once a player has completed a season to add to a future season.

Hi again,

From what I see, that works on Carmen & Petunia's "Power of Two", but does not work on Xygallix's "Hourly Rate", it only increases the regular dps.

Thanks,

Sophie

You have to put the taskmaster on Xygallix's level up button, not Carmen and Petunia's level up button.

And Hourly Rate is only designed to buff Global DPS.

Do you have any plans to add Ana to the Steam DLC list of crusaders that can be purchased?

Thank you for the Code!

Hi DwarfinKing,

She's on the short-list of Crusaders to add as DLC in the next little while, but I don't have an ETA for her yet.

You're welcome for the code. :)

That's great, I can go opened them now :P

What about my other question? I edited it in so you probably didn't see it :)

We won't be changing the amount of tokens needed to start the event objectives with Tier 6 events.

Friendly reminder that idol gains from dungeon need an adjustment. Ideally in conjunction with a boost to normal idol gains, for instance from a new talent tied to unlocked dungeon levels.

Thanks for the reminder cotlathi.

Any chance we will ever get to have Milgrid in that little drill of hers from her recruit objective? Like as a skin or something?

Hi Environmental_Nerve2,

We weren't planning on giving out her on her drill as a skin, but I'll note down it's been requested. I think it would involve shrinking the sprite, since it does take up multiple slots in its current form.

I also hope you and your loved ones are safe.

Thanks for the chests.

My question: Is it possible to have a little circle to place a Taskmaster to click on Xygallix's and automatically upgrade "Hourly Rate"?

Thanks,

Sophie

Hi Sophie,

They're doing well, thank you for asking. I hope you're all safe too.

If you place a taskmaster on Xygallix, they will keep upgrading Hourly Rate as you have the gold, since taskmasters buy upgrades while on the level up buttons.

Cheers!

Hey Erika -

Thank you for the chests. Looking forward to season two and tier 6 events. While I was lucky enough to finish the dungeons, several people I know are close but not quite there yet. I was asked to pass along the following question from a person who has to work: Since the dungeons are going to be turned off, any way you can extend season 1 through the weekend? (I figured No, but told them I would ask!) From me: Do we get anything fun this weekend? ;)

Hi AMQ_

You're welcome for the chests. :)

Congratulations on finishing the season!

We will not be extending season 1 to compensate for the gap between seasons, sorry.

Just the weekend buff this weekend. We're heads down on season 2 and Carnival of Sorrows, to try to minimize the gap between seasons.

  1. Any general information you can share about the T6? Like humanoid or more to the animal side? Male/female none or the ultra-rare non binary tag?

  2. Im still kind of confused, should we be using rubies to buy jeweled chests, to hoard more JC’s. Or should we be hording jeweled chests AND rubies separately?

Hi SnooDoughnuts6987,

1) Can tease the Carnival Crusader will have an Animal tag.

2) Hoarding rubies and normal Jeweled chests separately.

Hi Erika,

If dungeon runs are totally off between dungeons, what will veterans be able to do? free play is pretty useless beyond a certain point. I guess there's always sprint..

You mentioned new 11ths are soon last Q&A, how soon is soon? :)

Hi sqrzwol,

Veterans can free play, do challenges, do events, etc.

All resources are on season 2 and the system tied to it along with Carnival of Sorrows, so Tier 11ths would be after that at the earliest.

I also wonder if 'Outstanding rewards' (from today's announcement) means chests? Will unused chests disappear from inventory?

That note about outstanding rewards is related to the Season pass items, both free and paid.

Players didn't want the Idol bonus for level 25 from the paid pass to be claimed automatically with the season ending, so now players can choose when they want to claim all the season rewards they have left unclaimed at season's end.

Hello Erika hope you are having a great day.

Just a single question. We need to save RUBIES not JCs, right?

cause I've heard some rumors or something that we need to save JCs.

Just wanna make sure. Thank you!

Hi SarphaHarr,

Doing well, thanks. I hope you're having a good day too.

Rubies for sure, normal Jeweled chests as an extra, but not imperative to save, because you guys have Ana and the Jeweler talent to drop more Jeweled chests.

Hi Erica!

In the meantime, we are waiting for the enemies to become more difficult somewhere in the old campaigns, the tasks are more difficult, and the fuzzies from Aldebaran are real fuzzies from Aldebaran, can I ask - is there a chance that this year there will be a 12 campaign and a new non-event crusader?

Thanks for the code!)

PS. Have you ever thought about translating into other languages?

Hi dimitrius5naj,

It would be campaign 10, if we did a new permanent campaign.

That is not in the cards right now, with the pandemic putting a dent in our productivity this year.

You're welcome for the code.

We will not be translating the game into other languages. We tried for the mobile version, but there's just too much text in the game, along with our frequent updates. As well, different languages take up different amounts of space in text fields, so we'd have to make sure all dialogs could support all the lengths of text for the translations, which just isn't something we can do at this point in the life cycle of the game.

The season will end as scheduled, sorry.

Hello, Erika hope you're having a good day.

On the stream you said that we should save up JC and rubies, is there a rough time table for this new feature?

Are we talking 1 or 2 months? or nothing till next year?

Would like to know to tell whether I should open my JC or not since if the feature is several months away there is no need to hoard atm

Edit: Also will the amount of tokens needed for the objectives the next event be lowered? Specially the lower tiers? Cause you already need to spend warps to complete T5 and with a new tier it'll be too much.

Hi belkak210,

It's been OK aside from the wildfire smoke blanketing the island lately.

The new feature is tied to the Season 2 debut, so you have until then.

Since players do have Ana, hoarding normal Jeweled chests isn't as important as saving rubies, but the chests will have a part to play.

Hello Erika

thanks for the code

i have a suggestion for the play history

filters

i dont know if it has been suggested before

i just searched the play history for the data of my last reset, more than 6k areas ago... it was pretty frustrating...

the time in play history is totaly different from my time zone.

and all the silver chest and BI entries... most of the data in the play history is pretty useless. who is interested in silver chests? 1k silver chests entries for a single run seems to be unnecessary.

and the limited entries per site... i found what i searched on page ~20

it would be great if it were possible to filter the data in play history. resets, redeemed codes, missions, opened chests, maybe jeweled chests.

or just an option to hide all the silver chest and bonus idol entries? it would be so much easier to find the information that you are looking for.

im not a tech guru, i dont know i...

Hi Made_In_The_80s,

You're welcome for the code.

The play history has always been in server time, to make support easier. We weren't planning on having it localize for players.

Filtering the play history has definitely come up before, and it's probably worth looking into it at some point. We've just had other priorities, like game systems and events.
