Welcome Crusaders!
Before we begin: I hope you're all staying safe and being kind.
For those of you who are joining us for the first time, I'm Erika, the Live Services Manager for Crusaders of the Lost Idols, and I will do my best to answer your Crusaders questions. This Q&A is so you know where to find one of the team to chat Crusaders weekly.
I will be answering questions live for the first hour and then checking back throughout the week.
The previous Q&A: Number 257!
Howdy Crusaders!
The latest Schoolhouse Scourge Crusader, Shir Brio of Cadenza, stars in our Recital Preparations colouring sheet, now available on our website
Or, if you're feeling creative, you can submit your Crusaders fanart!
If we get 50 coloured sheets shared at us on our Twitter with the hash tags #lostidolscolouring and #shirpractice or shared here on reddit by Friday, September 24th, 2021 at 12pm Pacific Time (UTC-7), then we'll release a code for a 7 day long 40...

Rune merging: I would rather merge all runes or merge multiple runes if there were possible.
Highlight highest dpser in a formation
I assume this is hard but an easier way to see all the effects on one crusaders - i know there is the floating circles but the compelxity of the game now makes it hard to work out what is going on sometimes.
Thanks.
Rune merging: I don't see us adding a merge all-all runes button, since there's no unmerging runes. That feels like a not great button.
You can merge runes quickly on a Crusader's rune slot that has a rune equipped.
Or are these requests coming from an inventory management space?
Yeah, dealing with the buff bubbles to see things isn't great, and it's something I want changed. So it may actually happen.
Wow, fast turn-around then. Guess i better get busy with stuff i want to accomplish off-season!
PS: Looking forward to new colouring sheet too. Been bored enough to go back and do some more of the BW2 ones that are posted - even though i don't play that game.
Yeah, partly why we extended season 4, so the gap between would be smaller.
Not really, but being able to ctr+t or something to add them quickly instead of drag and drop would be nice. Like Idle Champions (pardon my language) has ctr+f to add familiars quickly. Can't you pop on over there and steal a few lines of code? ;)
Hahaha, the games are in different languages, so it wouldn't be that easy.
But having the K hotkey work like that would be fun. I'll add the vote to the item on the suggestion list.
how about 3 streams (with same 1 code posted to each (don't want CNE to go bankrupt due too many freebies))? 1 for north and south americans and thereabouts and 1 for europeans and africans etc and 1 for asians, australians, etc?if you want stream to be available for all at reasonable time (8-9pm) then 3 streams. each with own host ofc.
I will pass it along to the marketing team and we'll see what happens.
Idle Champions just added a cool organizer for familiars, complete with filters.
Why can't we have nice things here too? Don't you love us?
Idle Champions is able to support a larger dev team than Crusaders. Plus, they have like over 40 familiars and multiple parties, so sorting the familiar list is kinda important.
We just have our one developer, so we do what we can.
Does the Crusaders taskmaster roster require filters?
Hi Erika,
thank you for the chests! On the rune crafting screen there is the filter existing "Mission rewards doubling 4th slot". Can we please have a "Mission duration reduction 4th slot", too?
Hi Jothda,
You're welcome for the chests.
I had a whole list of filters I wanted added with that update, but Wilson wants to do a proper nested filter list so it looks better. I'll flag mission duration as something that players want when we get to that.
Ow. thats bad.
Exist the posibility of the game to calculate in the future some progress advance being offline like Idle Champions? Example move from area 10 to 20 while you are away
We are not planning on adding offline area progression to Crusaders. It's not something we have the resources to do.
Wait what, really? No more skins? While runes are nice, I'm seriously gonna miss skins as rewards, as they sometimes really help out in challenges and such :(
No more skins from event objectives.
There will still be skins from other sources, like the Dungeons, and occasional updates to the Skin Store.
Special Operations... :D
Like the one starting today... :D
Ah, events.
No, they won't share the same currency.
The challenge token store and the dungeon depot offer chests to get event Crusader gear outside of their events, along with the mission system.
Hi Erika,
Thanks for the code. This is really a set of questions about COTLI:
- How is the health of the game? Is CodeName happy with the financials and user numbers?
- What is the long term plan for the game? What do thinks look like in 2, 3 or 5 years?
Just curious what the long term outlook is for the game and what the plans are.
Thanks
Hi atxstranger,
You're welcome for the code.
1) Game is doing fine for the moment.
2) So far, the plan is to keep updating the game until it is no longer financially viable to do so, and at that point spend some tech time to put it in maintenance mode and keep the servers running from there, for whoever is left playing it.
Hello Erika!
First of all, thank you for the gift!
Secondly: Is it possible in the future (near or a little far) that the currency for the SOs. to be the same and to be able to buy chests (at the same price as the ongoing SO's chests or at a higher price) for the all SOs???
Hi TheReal_JoKeRu,
You're welcome for the chests.
The SOs?
Hello Retourning player here afther almost 2 years. wow been a while. I leave the game since the mobile version go shut down and I havent been able to retour to the game since then (yes i know that Idle Champions have a mobile version and i really wish this could have a similar version one day, but thats another story)
Lot of things have changed since then (i dont know what on earth is a rune in this game yet). My question is if exist the posibility of seeing the game back in a browser version compatible with unity or something else?
or the yocasta event is still be running?
and related to my retourn... Yocasta event or Crusaders of the charity events can be earned now by pursaches in steam?
Hi Ezequiel1522,
Welcome back to the game.
We don't have plans to re-release the mobile version, and also you can't re-add an app to the app stores once you've removed it from sale.
The game is desktop-only now. There's no plans to make it available in browsers again.
The Yogscast event won't be returning, but I hope to deal with the achievements at some point.
The Yogscast Crusaders are available to earn through the Mission System with the Recruit Missions.
The Desert Bus Crusaders are only available through donations on the Desert Bus website when the donation window is open in November. We're hoping to work with them again this year and we'll keep everyone updated about that.
you mentioned for the year 7 events you would be giving away a random level 7 rune instead of a skin. The random rune is something that you decide on or we will be opening a chest or "unconfirmed Level 7 rune"?
So far, the idea is it will just be a random level 7 rune awarded on completing the objective.
So the objective reward will display a mystery rune icon, and then on completing the objective, you'll see what rune you've gotten.
