Happy holidays. :)

We'll do our best to make it more idly, but players do like to be efficient, and efficiency does tend to involve slightly more active play.

Hi Erica,

Would it be possible to have an option to turn of the damage numbers?

Also, the animation to move to the next screen happens so fast sometimes it’s difficult to save the formation.

Thanks for the gifts, and hope you and the rest of CNE have a well deserved break.

Hi dshepsman,

Turning off DPS numbers isn't something we're planning on adding, but I'll note the vote on the item on our request list.

We recommend idling on an area if you want to save a formation while you're sprinting or warping.

You're welcome for the gifts!

Cheers. :)

Reminding you to give us new propagator, we would really appreciate 3rd prop. Hope I win this raffle, so far this new T7 objectives for random rune is very bad in my case (water, water, earth and today again water)

We may add a new propagator who doesn't occupy the two seats that currently have some. We'll see.

But you're ready for the Water rune meta. :)

Just returned to CotLI after 2 years, and I'm surprised by all the new content. Glad the game is still being updated. Just a question, and sorry if this was asked many times, how many people actually work on the game? Also, are there any plans for new things beside dungeons, events and challenges, or do you think more would be too messy?

Welcome back to Crusaders! :D

We are the merry 3 who work on Crusaders, with a smidge of time from our marketing team for tweets and newsletters.

So there's:

  • me, design/tickets/reddit host/stream host

  • Kat, Lead Artist and my fellow partner in crime for the stream, creating our colouring sheet challenges

  • Wilson, our intrepid developer, bringing my crazy plans to life and bug fixing as needed.

It would be cool to add more permanent campaigns, and possibly other new features, so we'll see what we can get done before players stop supporting the game enough to keep it updated regularly.

Hi Erika,

I would like to thank Kat, Nick (Wilson) and yourself for making crusaders enjoyable (sometimes frustrating) in 2021.

And wish the whole of CNE A Merry Christmas.

Hi GeorgeSmith50,

You're quite welcome. Thank you for playing Crusaders.

Here's to a new year with 2022!

Can we get an analytic mode? I'd like to see something that gives details on what effects affect what crusaders.

For example: clicking on Matt Spacewalker:

Effect: Ring Leader. From Mogra, the Ring Leader. 1e13 per monster killed in the last 10 seconds, max 30 stacks. Propagated through Mindy (miming Center of the Universe, from Karen the Cat Teenager) (miming Flip the Switch, from Langley, the Conductor), Langley the Conductor's Flip the Switch, Tiernan's Druidic Patterns.

I would like to bring something like we used to have for the mobile version, or something similar to Idle Champions for the breakdown of effects, though it would be more of a nice to have rather than useful content, so it's hard to prioritize. But I'll note the request.

Hi Erika,

I thought the problems with "waiting for server" when completing missions was solved a couple of weeks ago, but now it's worse than before. Same goes for "buy all levels". This morning I bought all levels, went to dress one of my kids and when I returned it was still "computing levels". Can this get a second looking at?

And of course happy holidays to all of you!

Hi AerichV,

Someone else mentioned the missions still being slow-ish. Is it when you're completing the first set of missions for the day, at any time, or only after you've completed a lot of missions and have lots of cooldown timers going?

We haven't looked at the speed of the buy max buttons in a while, but we can take a look at it in the new year.

Happy holidays! :)

Hello hello BreeUnderhill,

Thank you for stopping by. I'll let the team know. :)

Shout out to Kat for her skillful art.

Thank you, Erika, and all of CNE, for the work you do to keep this game going.

To all: May your days be filled with kindness and compassion.

Hi zodi,

Votes for mission improvements noted.

Kat will be pleased to hear that. :)

Shout out to the players for continuing to support the production of the game. :D

Hello
1 - What is the meaning of life ?
2 - Could you sing a song with Kat on next livestream, please ?

Hello,

1) 42

2) If you want singing you need to bug the marketing team. I've heard some rumors.... but Kat and I will not be singing on stream.

Just adding a note for that QoL to access the skin menu from the mission screen, to keep it on the radar, with all the new missions available now it's something that would be really helpful.

Also have a great festive season for the whole team, we'll be here when you get back.

A vote for the skins access on the mission screen, noted!

Happy holidays. :)

Hey Erika,

As always this was quite the turbulent year for the development of the game, the 5th rune implementations, the dungeon reward structures and crusader balancing was as always a direct conflict between the player base and the team that is still working on the game. Overall members of the community understand that there would be always a conflict of interest between what we perceive the direction of the game should be and what the developers see, but on some aspects it would be nice if there could be a common point of interest so we can reduce the overall stress around the game.

Hi emilking91,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We'll see how 2022 goes.
