Crusaders of the Lost Idols Dev Tracker

Hi, Erika. Thank you for the code.

I wasn't quite expecting it to happen when it did, but the longevity of the game was always kind of on the back of my mind. So I think I came to terms with it faster than some. It will be a somewhat sad departure, but I got years of entertainment out of it, so I'm at least leaving with a feeling of satisfaction when I finish.

I've had Idle Champions as a mainstay since just after its release, so I'll be continuing on over there. (Thanks for that code, too, it helped a good bit with my quest for full epics, haha.)

Good luck to your future endeavors.

Yeah well, thank for that e-mail code.... ohhh yeah it doesnt work, only 12 chars not 16 as required.

do you have any idea how long of a break we can expect between the current dungeon season and the next? there isn't exactly a rush this time; i'm just curious.

also, this is just a shot in the dark, but would you consider removing the "Cannot be buffed by Formation Abilities" restriction on Ana's and Xochitl's chest increases? Springy has completely overpowered them for gaining materials, and gaining warps for events is mostly a matter of time rather than balance now. this sort of buff would at least make the new mega chest achievements a little faster (and you'd still need a tier 5 or t6 crusader to make use of this buff in the first place)

the runes faq still mentions a plan for a bonus you get if a crusader has all 5 runes open. was this the Runic Hoards and Powers of Old Renewed talents, or was something else planned? if it was something else, and you don't have time to do it anymore, can you give details about what you had brainstormed for it so far?

Crusaders pretty much ruined idle games for me since nothing else will measure up, gonna miss it. Though I will keep playing it and now I have an actual end game in sight which is actually kinda nice lol. Thanks for the fun times.

Another quick question - will codes given in the weekly Champions of Psychology live stream continue to work in Crusaders and award a Runic Chest?

Thank you. COTLI was the first on-line idle game I played. It's been a journey watching it morph and grow over the 6 years I've played: remember when duplicate gear gave you EP?

One last QoL item suggestion: there are many times when the last digit is cut off from the top DPS # display. It could either be brought into the foreground or else be shrunk a tad to fit it all in, like the font size of CLK DMG.

I wish many blessings and peace to all.

Hi Erica, I recently paid for the season pass with the idea in mind that the game will continue on. I will probably stop being so invested on the game. Is there a way to return the items and get a refund?

Hi Erika

Thanks for a great game Very sorry to see it sunsetting. The game has kept me going since my partner passed away in October 2020.

I'm wondering if we will still be able to get the last Epic for the dungeon crusader Matt Spacewalker and Zephoralei and any others the community hasn't got

Good luck with for all who work on Crusaders of the lost idol with your next projects

Hi Erika,

I'd like to address the elephant in the room that is the Crusaders Chat. It has been something that we were told was going to go into effect when the launcher was updated, back when flash stopped working in browsers. That thing being the addition of permanent chat rooms.(just five or six would be ideal, which would be the three main ones that we always chat in and a couple additional ones for if a couple players want to have a more private conversation) Please tell me there is going to be an update to the launcher?

As it is we'd be down to just two chat rooms right now if/when chat goes down.

Also since support will no longer be active, could you look into a way to possibly reset chat on like a daily basis automatically(or like set up a reminder daily or twice a week). Since it is a very common bug for a player to be unable to see any posts until the chat is reset.

This is the one big obnoxious elephant in the room that while manageable wit...

Hi --

I hope I'm not too late. If these aren't answered elsewhere, I had two questions:

- Which of the survey options will be in the game?

- What options/items/features will be remaining in the game?

Thank you and everyone associated with CotLI for all the great years of play and excellent service!

I just don't know what to say. Been with Crusaders since Brogon/Leerion's introduction in T1 of Song of Thrones. Taken aback at content ending but I don't think I have and specific questions not already covered in your FAQ. I guss Ill just say I'm rather sad about this and leave it at that.

Originally posted by TheKnoticalMenace

No questions, but a huge THANK YOU for bringing this amazing game to life and the incredible adventure that I enjoyed for the last four years!

Thank you for the Runic Bags, the farewell gifts, the cute Taskmasters, and for that crazy weekend buff! I didn't want to give it up! What I wouldn't give for it to be a perma boost for good ol' Zuc.

Especially since we'll be Dungeoning into the Sunset forever until you guys shut down the servers!

I knew Crusaders would come to an end some day (it's kinda inevitable when the power creep begins), but for it to be this soon!! In light of the recent survey, it felt like you guys had perhaps another year's worth of content. Then came the release of Zuc's GE. I jokingly thought that would be the most requested GE come Christmas raffle. But then a couple of days later bye-bye Crusaders?!

The timing of all this makes me wonder how far back you guys planned to make this decision before dropping the bomb?

Nevertheless, thanks for such a fun idle game for all these years and for listening to our feedback!

CotLI 2, when? ( ^_^ )

Hi Erika,

Sad to see Cotli packing its bags, especially in these worrying times. Personally I think Cotli is/was the best game in your stable.

Small question: is there some time left for you to add 1 or 2 input lines in the chat app? It would reduce the amount of typo's.

Wishing you and the team all the best!

Hi Erika,

I hope you and all the team are safe and well.

Had to come back and just say thanks for all the memories and fun over the years. I never got over the flash death but Cotli was a cherished part of my day for so long.

I hope you guys keep going on Idle Champions and wish you every success for the future.

Finally, thanks to all the members of the community who's friendliness, humour, irreverent and sometimes downright crazy chat always brought a smile to my face.

Peace all

Pete

Thanks for the last 2415 days, it's been fun, I'm disappointed it's going (I expected BW2 to go first) but looking forward to the endless season. Grab bags in all three stores would be good to get rid of tokens and try to get crusaders up to level 15. How long do the codes for Idle Champions last because I may try it but not for quite a while.

Hi Erika, sorry to see this come to an end. I plan to play as long as it remains fun and hope to hit that e255 idol limit. (currently at e150-ish)

A couple of thoughts about the QoL and Sunset Season 7:

1. Since long term balance (for future patches) is no longer a concern, please balance S7 for completion style balance. For example, please make sure there are sufficient Runic rewards so active players can generate a level 15 rune on a regular basis.

2. Please extend idol rewards so they continue to grow to much higher levels, like 35k for points and coins, so longer overnight idol runs are possible. Basically just remove the idol hardcap. Maybe have all dungeon rewards scale up to level 50k for S7, why not at this point?

3. A Mission autocomplete toggle if it is 100% would be nice QoL.

4. Coin balance doesn't really matter, so maybe consider unlimited dungeon runs per week (get rid of the 15 "free" runs), and just ha...
