Crusaders of the Lost Idols Dev Tracker

Originally posted by StrangeYeah

I wonder how many people who have never asked a question or made a comment will do so now.

Recently there was a comment about the cool name of Tiernan's skin, and I just wanted to make the observation that a lot of the writing in CotLI is of a very high standard. I particularly like the descriptions of the gear. Favourites include: the Glimmering Golden Extinguisher of Infinite Foam; the Pristine Scrying Orb of the Lost Dragon Kingdoms and the Ornamental Golden Anchor of the HMS Victory. There are a great many others, too. It's one of the more subtle pleasures of the game.

Could there be a crusader who has a Mist-Obscured Crystal of Densely Entangled Circuitry which can then be upgraded to a Warp Speed Omnimeter of Sentient Wobbling? Just a thought ...

Thanks also, Erika and all at Codename, for a great game. In the eighteen months I've been playing CotLI, it has changed and grown many times, and always for the better. It's the most "meta" game I've ever pla...

Erica, hello!
I congratulate you on your 6th anniversary and 250th "conversation"! I am glad that I was able to make a positive contribution to the development of the game, and I will try to make further rationalization proposals! I hope for the further development of the game, the tenth campaign, making the game easier for those who cannot spend more than 3-4 hours in a row behind it (especially in terms of launching and ending missions) and that it will be just as interesting, beautiful and giving new and interesting goals!
And thanks for the chest!
PS. Can you get the exact number (open chests, items and other things, the number of which is measured in six-digit numbers) as soon as possible?)

Thanks for the code, and here's hoping for the raffle o/

I've come back after a long long time within the past 2ish months, and naturally, I'm missing a ton of crusaders. Would there be any consideration to tweaking recruitment mission cooldowns? Like based on how many crusaders you're missing, it'll decrease. Or perhaps if you're missing t1 crusaders, the cooldown will be shorter than if you're missing t4.

Has there also been any looking into autoprogression in stages while offline? It's a very individual problem, but the computer I run on is pretty old and cannot handle running CotLI and another online game at the same time, so my progress in other games has stagnated hard while I hyperfixate on this one.

Hi everybody at CNE! I'm a long-time player who tends to come back every now and again. Six years, huh? I knew it'd been a while but I wasn't sure exactly how many. Guys, get this, when I started, THERE WEREN'T EVEN _IDOLS_ YET! Crusaders of the Lost Idols had truly lost them. XD Then things like skills, enchantment points, crafting, rubies, the dungeons and of course events were put in over time. I was BARELY able to participate enough in the very first event (the Carnival one) to get the two (Tier 1) Crusaders, but I did it...

If I were to ask for anything in this game, the main thing is OFFLINE PROGRESS--I kinda hate that the game has to be running for my characters to, y'know, _move_. Also, it's an idle game, running in the background is kinda what it's supposed to do. But other than that, it seems to be pretty good so far! Otherwise, I wouldn't've stuck around for six years. :)

Hi Erika, Congrats on the 6th birthday! I haven't interacted with the community much and I didn't always play COTLI very actively, but I've been playing it on and off for a long time.

It's been really great to see the QoL improvements over the years as well as all the new features - some of the early mechanics were definitely a bit rough.

I don't have much to add, any suggestions that come to mind have probably already been mentioned quite a lot in here. So here's to hoping you guys manage to keep developing this game for a long time !

For missions, the mechanism to pick the Crusaders most suitable is great for the EP missions in that it weights the options to best match & lowest EP.

For the gold missions, the Crusaders that I typically want is the reverse of the low EP ones - low EP is generally are that way because they are used in formations, either as DPS or speed formations.

What would be nice is a button to swap the low/high EP portion of the selection while keeping the best attribute match portion - basically current state for EP missions, then the ability to swap the selector to still get 100% but prefer the highest EP Crusaders.

I know a few others have said this, but I really do appreciate how Qadir and Zuczek were adjusted based on the feedback.

I did have an idea that might be easy to implement. The gold missions are considered as mostly useful just for getting Mission Impossible credit. What if the additional gold from missions rune was modified to add Enchantment Points to the reward. It could scale up a bit and make gold missions and the runes to boost them potentially desired instead of maligned.

Hello everyone! Have been playing this game since the first year it came out. Can't believe we are at 6 years! Congratulations! Hoping I have a decent shot at that raffle, could really use a certain GL.

Congratulations on making it 6 years and thanks for going through 250 of these Q&As!

Currently I'd say my most pressing request would be more speed for the dreadfully slow challenges.

Questions about Rubies:

Doing a week's worth of missions and daily quests yields less than 300 rubies - not enough to buy even 1 runic chest let alone both. Any chance of increasing ruby rewards?

Will more items be added to the Ruby section of the store? Right now only gold chests and runic chests are left for me - nothing to look forward to like in other sections.

Erika, Thanks for the chests! I have been playing since launch and just wanted to express how much I enjoy the game. Please pass to the team to keep up the good work!

Kinda hard to believe that it's been six years.

Just think back to how the Game was, when it was released. So many changes have happened, and you also have to wonder what changes are going to happen, or could happen. 'Tis an exciting thought, so it is.

Also makes you think about yourself, six years ago, and how many things have changed, for you, since then.

As far as I know, I have all of the Goldens, so unless it's one that you'll be releasing, you can leave me out of that draw.

I'm eager to see what updates we'll be getting.

Hi Erika,
Are there plans for adding sprint or something similar to challenges? Challenges that don't have many speed characters available take a lot of time compared to other objectives.
btw congrats on the game anniversary!
