Thank you for the suggestion. I'll add it to the list to consider and we'll see what happens.

The EP mission runes increase the EP for every Crusader sent on the mission, not just the Crusader they're equipped on.

Hey Erica, thank you for the weekly updates.

Are you aware of the FP Bonus Idol scaling (or lack thereof) after area10,000? Now that we have double FP sprinting and the ability to get to 10,000 quickly, are there plans to improve the way bonus idols scale after this point to make these runs competitive with dungeon idol runs (at least to a point beyond about 1e19)?

Hi TrezRenla,

You're welcome for the updates.

A player did mention that the bonus boss idol drops remain the same number from area 10,000 to their new area cap, and it's on the list to investigate why that is. They are supposed to keep increasing at the new scaling we introduced earlier this year.

It's not currently in the plans, but we may make the free play competitive with dungeon runs in future. We'll see what happens.

Did I see in a previous discussion that help was on the way for opening chests? I stopped opening them waiting for this, and they are piling up. Thx.

Yup, help is on the way next year. Just gave an early heads up, in case players want to stockpile their chests for the update, instead of worrying about opening them regularly.

Ooh, runes!

Just to clarify, the giveaway is for this Q&A, right?

Anyways, I'd like to request that the flat e50 DPS reward be changed to more Dungeon Point missions. They're one of the categories that could do with some bonus missions, and it really does help lower-level players.

The giveaway for the runes will be for comments in next week's reddit Q&A, so the one on the 16th.

Thank you for the suggestion on a possible change to the reward that replaces the e50 DPS reward. I'll make a note.

I am super excited to hear that you decided to do another dungeon point buff towards the end of the season. I know it was originally going to just be an anniversary thing, but it is appreciated!

You're welcome. :)

It makes a nice holiday present.

Not sure if I should ask this now or leave for next week’s QA…

The last two epic recipes I’ve gotten (Pinterest and the Challenge Shop) have been for slots where I already had the epic gear; that hadn’t happened to me before, so I’d assumed there was duplicate protection built into the recipe system. Has that protection changed, or was this a glitch?

To be clear, it’s totally your/the team’s prerogative if you’ve changed the assignment system; I just don’t know if it happened in error or not, since it’s different from how things have gone in the past. Thanks!

Well, recipes aren't gear. They are just a method for getting gear if you have the crafting materials to hand.

There is weighting to try and give you a recipe for a piece of gear you don't already own as a priority over the ones that you do own.

But you do have to get a recipe for every piece of gear in the game, so once you start getting closer to owning all the recipes, you're more likely to see the recipes for items you've already earned from opening chests or completing the gear upgrade missions.

Child's Play is the correct charity. Desert Bus just ask donators to go through their website, so that they can work their dev magic for all the giveaways and tax receipts for the donations.

If you forward the receipt to crusaders@codenameentertainment.com, we can get you a code for your donation level.

Hello Erika,

This dungeon season has been a bit of a roller coaster. Nice to see that the basic structure of the season has finally stabilized in recent weeks.

With everything said and done it is a shame that the roller coaster of changes and rework has enabled some players to massively increase their rune counts beyond what was designed to be possible by now since the release of runes. I recognize that this is a single player game with no leader boards and so on, but it still sucks that this happened and certain players gained an unfair advantage over others in the same position. There will always be exploits and exploiters, but this one in particular could have easily been prevented.

With that in mind I would like to explicitly request for something to be added to 'the list'. It comes up frequently, but I suppose there is no tracking of it since it is not some form of a feature/change request. If I am assuming incorrectly, then please add my vote to the ex...

Hi Kittymug,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'll bring it up with the higher ups and we'll see what happens.

When the balloon for missions ready to complete shows up, the missions do not complete in the order that they show in the stack. This is sometimes important if I wish a crusader to stay on a mission, for whatever reason. What is the rationale behind how they present to be finished? Why don't they just finish in the order they are shown? (I hope I am making sense here.)

I do understand what you're saying about the Complete Now button versus the mission list itself. It's probably just using different methods of how it sorts the missions. I'll add it to our list of QoL items to tackle when we have a moment.

it very much feels like you're trying to make a "reward" out of content that would normally be made available to everyone and it's really disappointing.

Thank you for the feedback.

Hey Erika.

Is there going to be chest drop for Matt Spacewalker gear like they did for Torakichi last season?

Hi FrequentWay,

Matt Spacewalker does have chests available for purchase in the Dungeon Depot, and there are some on the reward track for season 5, and once you've unlocked him, you can also get his recipes from dungeon crusader recipe items.

Though if he and Tora are both missing recipes, those recipe items will randomly award a recipe for either Tora or Matt, until you own all the applicable recipes.

Did you contribute to Desert Bus between Nov 5th and Nov 19th, while the donations for the Crusaders were live on the Crusaders page itself?

They would have emailed the code for the donation level to the email address associated with your paypal account.

Hi,

Thanks for the codes.

I know we have just got the 11th objectives but could we have another way to boost our idols, either with a mission that increases idol drop rate for a set time or the ability to run more than one idol mission at once? Or a permanent idol buff like we got a permanent gold and dps from completing the 11th objectives?

I know this might have to wait for tier 6 but I just thought I would ask.

Hi OwnedByACrazyCat,

The dungeons are a pretty good source of idols, but we'll probably do some other buffs to idols either through future talents or objective rewards.

Cheers!
