Hi Erika,
 
Despite the outcry it has sometimes created, I’ve never been that upset about nerfing crusaders, especially when they were OP.
However, I’m sad to say I’ve lost nearly all motivation to play the game with the regression to linear scaling in the dungeons. It is a regression as I think it breaks the fundamental incentive to play the game (at least once you have done the objectives). I could develop a long argument about this but will spare everyone the wall of text here. In short, if there is no incentive for doing deep runs, why bother to keep upgrading your crusaders, seeking new gears, runes, etc….and the points/coins that allow you
to access them. 
The worst is that I don’t see how it makes sense for anyone, yourselves included. I’ve heard that it is to re-balance the game in favor of new/mid-range players, but it does not achieve that at all. It’s quite possible to have exponential scaling where newbies and mid-range players earn as much as b...

Thanks for the code!

Others have covered the idea of balancing things out points-wise for longer runs to take the emphasis off of massive amounts of sprinting to maximize your points over the season.

All I want to add to that is I appreciate your willingness to listen and consider making some changes based on feedback. You could just say, "Well, that's what you're stuck with. We will look at changes in the next season." Thanks for being more open to potential changes/tweaks (and noting too that this is not the first time you've taken a "second look" at something based on feedback)!

Just thought I would give some slight feedback on the new season of dungeons:

On the positive side, I am extremely happy that traveling the same distance on a higher difficulty is always better than a lower one. It felt really weird to me to do sprint runs to area 5kish on lvl 1, and then do idol runs to 12500 on lvl 3. Now I know that once I have unlocked a difficulty, I don't have to lower it when I sprint to use up my runs for the week during sprints. I'm also super thankful for the spreadsheet showing what area gives X rewards. No guessing/estimations needed.

On the negative side, the restructuring of point values feels very demotivating: point values have been absolutely gutted. I recognize that adding missions for points acts as a counter balance for lower point rewards, but I already felt de-incentivized to do long point runs when an idol run maxes out hours earlier, but now that rewards increase linearly, I never see myself going past 10k to unlock the next ...

As for the update, can't you guys just consider not removing anything, but tweaking the scaling pre lvl 40? Like, that's what most people want to aim for anyway. And if they wanna get past that THEN they gotta put some real work/effort.

I honestly believe that having more than 40 lvls is really good, since it encourages people to do things better, but most people should be able to attain lvl 40 within 4 months at the very least.

One week has passed and I’m tired Erika. I’m exhausted resetting every 100 minutes or so because I want my yield to be as high as possible but that really kills the idle part of this game. Hope the studio will reconsider reward scaling so I can invest a little more in RL.

Was it really necessary to add like a zillion dungeon achievements and couldn't those have been added same time as dungeons started?

When will we be able to play / unlock Mitsuko the Six-Tailed, Regent Sawtooth and Shir Brio of Cadenza?

Thanks for the code, by and large happy with the new season, I don't mind that I will not get to the end of the reward list, it's good to have rewards beyond where most, if not all, people can get and much better than last season where many of us were finished with some time to spare.

The only real gripe is that the rewards in a run scale in a linear fashion, which means the best policy is sprint, reset, sprint ... I would much prefer the rewards to scale so that those that wanted to go long got rewarded for it. It wouldn't necessarily even lead to an increase in rewards as it is still slower to go past the sprint cut off.

Thank you for the code.

I have to say that with the start of this new season, I’m getting extremely frustrated with the game. Here are some of the main reasons why.

First, I feel scammed by the new pass. The nerf on the awards made me hesitate in buying the pass, but my experience on the previous one made me decide to take the plunge. I was very angry to discover after the fact that you dramatically nerfed my earnings for each run. I’m going farther than before to only earn somewhere from 30 to 60% of the points. Going farther also means that I probably won’t have time to do my fifteen runs.

Which gets me to my second reason.With the average of around 16 hours a day, seven days a week allowed by working from home (which will finish soon), I could barely do the challenges and my fifteen runs last season. And there’s the new timed event objectives to do too. It’s absurd and it’s getting worse this season.

Thirdly, doing dungeons for points completely s...

I keep having the unfortunate issue of sending out crusaders on long missions, having my game crash for some reason, needing those crusaders to re-setup my formation, and being unable to do so because they are on long missions. I don't ask questions much so forgive me if this has been talked about before, but are there any plans to recall crusaders if needed or making their mission actions independent of the formation? Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey and Happy Thursday!

Two questions for today.

First, at the current rate of acquisition(and I say this as someone who buys every season pass for context) and assuming the stars align and we get extraordinary chest luck, we’re looking at getting our first level 15 rune in about 3 years from now. Is this intended?

Second, is this dungeon season a subtle warning? A “be carful what you wish for” type scenario. It feels we’re being punished on one hand and taunted on the other by the higher end rewards that are only really obtainable if you put the kind of time and effort of a full-time job would require. Historically I have bought the dungeon passes for some extra perks, and to support CNE, this season it basically became a pay to win feeling of HAVING to buy it due to the dungeon point buff.

Cheers,

A disappointed player

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the new achieves also feel this way. People asked for more, and instead of ones tha...

Good morning! I'm curious if you saw this post about the current scaling in dungeons and what your thoughts are on it?

Servers and Game overall seem to be getting slower and having more load time :/

Also, I am just as unsatisfied with the dungeon changes as the other people here.

Is going to exist a certain requirement for participate in tier 7 events or we can participate freely in them?

Hey Erika.

I want to point your mistake. In Dungeon Reward Breakdown base reward for idols should be everywhere 0.

so merging 2 L10s to L11 is cheaper than merging bunch of runes to get L11.

not that smart system since like I said L15 might cost 100 cats.
