I'd like to ask if it would be possible for you to create Ana Guinness character pack? My guess is that many people just like me missed hermit party event, and she's so important at chests farming. I would really appreciate if I could get her earlier than in march :)

Cheers!

Hi Kurt_Lyndon,

Ana is on the short list of Crusaders we have in mind for making new DLC for. I don't have an ETA on when we would release her though.

Cheers!

Thanks for the welcome!

The dungeon coins will remain. It's just the dungeon points and season progress that get reset at the end of the season.

Oh, that's a pretty neat idea. I'll add it to our potential Season 2 changes list.

Friendly reminder that idol gains from dungeon need an adjustment.

Thank you for the feedback.

hi erika,

have you decided yet when the next talent update will be?

Hi Halaberd85,

I have a couple dates in mind, but I need to touch base with Kevin and see where things are before I'll feel comfortable teasing it.

Hi Erika, returning player after 3+ years of inactivity, decided to come back and have a look around. Is there a place I can find all the important changes I've missed out on? It feels like so much is different now.

On another note, where do you think the balance between interesting or challenging and frustrating lies? Have you ever made an objective and come back to it later and wonder why you did that?

Hi Not_Pro,

Welcome back to Crusaders!

You can read the blog to check out the highlights. Past 3 years would probably include some of the more interesting 11th objective rewards, Sprint mode, skins that change tags, and the Dungeons, of which season 1 ends soon, but season 2 is coming.

I think with Get Me Out of Here, we had an idea of what might work with the game, but it didn't really work in the end, which is why we made the change to it away from being a timed objective that we did last fall. Otherwise, it's just fun to see how players create formations and legendary set-ups to get around some of the weirder objectives we've done.

The formation grid is really hard and basically not worth playing the FP in this event. If I would suggest making it possible for players to change, remove or add a formation spot.
Otherwise you could change Mindy to mime 2 crusaders of your choice or release a 3-mime crusader :)

Thx

Hi Xerxish,

Thank you for the feedback on the event freeplay.

I'll add your vote to the item on the list about players changing their formations themselves, and we'll see what happens.

We won't be making changes to Mindy.

I use "Family Shared" on Steam, if i play crusaders on steam I will play 24/7 on this platform and my brother couldn't play anymore, the launcher in your web can play without steam?

Thanks!

Hi dDarKXL,

You're welcome for the code.

The CNE Games launcher would use your CNE Games log-in to sign into it, so it wouldn't interfere with Steam sharing.

Hey Erika, glad you enjoyed your vacation. While we're on break between seasons will the dungeon shop still be available for purchase of the idol buff?

Hi Sylexy,

Thanks. It was nice to sneak in some time away.

The Dungeon shop will still be available from its button on the other shop dialogs while the dungeons are on break, so you'll still be able to buy that buff.

Hi Erica!

Explain what the hell is going on with the game after the recent hotfix? For several hours it does not start, it crashes, it is worth leaving it for a couple of hours, and it just hangs! I am especially unpleasant for a banal reason - I just bought the idol bonus challenge last Thursday. And for the time that I missed because of these freezes - I could have gone through 2 or 3 free plays, and now I only finish the first one. It's a shame.

PS. Due to the fact that it is especially difficult to effectively gain EP on some tags, is it possible to add the "favoritization" function to some missions so that their rollback is lower (or not at all)?

PPS. In the new tasks of tier 5 and 6 for standard campaigns, I expect new modifiers to speed up the passage. Quest drop rate. Passive spawn speed. The speed of changing locations is even higher. Well, or just nice bonuses - 3 slot for gold items in the challenge shop, the ability to drop a certain amount of ru...

Hi dimitrius5naj,

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your game loading. Did you put in a ticket or send an email, with your formation and what area you're in when the game is trying to load?

Adding more EP missions is on my to-do list, but we won't be adding anything to take away the randomness of what mission will show up.

The game is already quick enough. I don't see us adding many more ways to clear areas quicker, aside from a bit more sprint on occasion. I'll keep the requests in mind though.

3 Goldens in the Challenge store could be a neat unlock.

You're welcome for the chests.

Hi Erika, I have a QoL suggestion: make it so that we can buy multiple event chests from our event currency. Right now it takes up to a few minutes to buy a couple of chests.

Thanks in advance!

Hi AerichV,

Thank you for the suggestion. I suppose players are having large amounts of event currency these days.

I've added it to our list to consider, and we'll see what happens.

Hello Erika.

I wondered if the Sniper Talent affected Taskmasters? (Clicking directly on a monster)

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

Hi Sjinkogaming,

The Sniper Talent only applies to the clicks you make, not the taskmasters.

Cheers!

Erikaaaaa! Please don’t ever leave again! We had “Waiting for Server” errors because of the flash sale! We missed out on days of idol gains because of it! Ok that’s all thanks for the code bye

You're welcome for the code.

Sorry to hear there was a bumpy ride last weekend. We'll know better for the next time we run a flash sale frenzy.

On behalf of my two kids, will there ever be plush made of any of the crusaders? Thanks in advance (they love plush.)

You're welcome for the code. :)

While we're glad that players would like physical merchandise, we're a digital goods company, so physical merch isn't in our wheelhouse.

Hi Erika Thanks for the codes

Has any decision been made on what will happen to the last run when dungeons ends yet now that there isn't a follow on dungeon.

What will now happen to the timed buffs that would have been useful if another dungeon was following straight afterwards but now isn't

How did things go so badly wrong with the new crusader last week?

Hope you enjoyed your holiday.

Hi billyjoe99,

You're welcome for the codes.

We'll be finalizing what happens to the dungeon run if you're on it when the season ends in our catch up meeting today.

Timed buffs will still count down as normal. We don't have any buffs that affect the dungeon coins or points, so it's not an issue.

While we do try to test most interactions, there can be bumps with a new Crusader launch and all the players trying them out. Kevin got the more OP things with Hildr corrected quickly.

Hi Erika!

with the release of Hildr, will the scaling on bruno be addressed? currently with how he's starting to become better from other crusader interactions it's perhaps time to set a sort of limit or cap on him, as he's currently able to literal game breaking amount of gold if left in formation.

also do you guys need some help with some pre release testing of crusaders? the Hildr release was just about hours away from breaking the game with how volatile the interactions were in the first 12 hours after the release.

Hi XZlayeD,

We do mean to cap Bruno at a fair amount of ability casts.

Hi, Erika. How are you doing? Hope you had a good time.

This is quite minor but would it be possible to change the "boss idols" in the event faq to "Bonus idols" for consistency? Someone was having some confusion about it.

https://imgur.com/a/zrRKIkg <- What I'm referring to

Edit: Also good luck parsing through all the tickets :P

Hi belkak210,

Doing well, thanks. The vacation was pretty good.

Bonus would be confusing there, because it already mentions the event bonus itself. We can look into workshopping that though.

Tickets aren't too bad. Kevin was doing some of them while I was out. :D

Can you confirm or deny that the final reward for the T6 objective will be …another skin?

Hi Environmental_Nerve2,

Thanks, it was was pretty awesome.

The fifth tier 6 objective will continue to award a Crusader skin for one of the event Crusaders.

Hey Erika

  1. Any chance we could get a keyboard shortcut for resetting the world? Would especially help on objectives like “the reset the world is on ‘X crusader’ ”

  2. Just curios why do the bonus boss drop idols have a clock in the design? It’s not like they are time based.

  3. Any chance to get a filter on missions like only show EP missions [so if there weren’t any EP missions it be blank]; or show only rare to epic missions. Or just something to not see gold missions anymore! Even if they are the only type of mission available! PLEASE!

Hi SnooDoughnuts6987,

1) I'll add your vote to that item on the list and we'll see what happens.

2) It was the artist's interpretation of the fact that the idols can only drop or not the first time you kill the boss on a boss area.

3) I'll add that to our list to consider and we'll see what happens.
