Planning on featuring this game in a year-by-year list of best games released over 40 years.

When was it originally available to play in some form for the public - 2015?

Oh that's neat.

The last week of July 2015 was when we launched the game.

If you mean the bonus Sprint earned from completing For Whom The Bell Tolls, that doesn't apply to Dungeons.

You can check the tooltip for the Tier 4 Sprint Talent to see what your max areas for sprinting are.

I do need some epic recipes for non-dungeon crusaders. Tur7tle to be specific. Will his recipe show up in the Dungeon shop? I don't see how to get it. Instructions please?

Yes, his recipes will show up there.

As noted in my opening text, recipes for the Carnage Cup Crusaders will be available again after Noon Pacific Time on Tuesday, February 22nd.

Erika forgot and this about the low/very low idols from different Idol talents and level ups and objectives. Since the game doesn't account them or so, many of us stopped to level all and upgrade all, etc because all these Idols are not awarded at reset and the level all and upgrade all takes too long to calculate which is another issue that needs looking at. So, my point is can you make a talent or something that can transform all these idols from different talents and objectives that are not calculated from the game and not given to us anyway so they actually give us something meaningful when we reset? So, there to be a reason/s to level all and upgrade all...

The various Talents and objective rewards do serve their purpose in helping players get to the dungeons.

I'll add it to the suggestion list to make Crusader levels mean something more when you're in dungeons, and we'll see what happens.

Forgot and this: What's happened to the very old idea to remove/detach
all the abilities from the siders? and just give the saders that currently cast them an FA or upgrade that buffs the ability instead. that way, you can cast the ability no matter
who is in your formation, and if you want to improve the ability, you
have to use certain saders a bit like how storm rider is buffed by
several saders

Detaching the abilities was one of the more pie in the sky ideas I had and it probably would have worked if I'd had the time to tackle it back when I initially wanted to years ago, but I'm not sure if we'll actually get around to it at this point.

It touches so many systems, and would require changes to so many things, not just the Crusaders who have the abilities, but talent balance and Crusaders who care about the abilities for their upgrades.

Hey Erika! Random question. Are we getting more talents in the next few months?

Yup, we're planning on a talent update within the next few months. Tier 9 talents here we come!

In the dungeon shop, I have 9 epic recipe tokens. There is an epic recipe available but only for dungeon coins. What are the epic recipe tokens for? I need some recipes for my dungeon crusaders.

Instead of running the missions for the Epic recipes for event Crusaders, you can buy them from the Dungeons for the Epic recipe tokens.

As the Dungeon Crusaders are in a separate recipe pool, those ones are only available from the Dungeon Coin purchase options.

Can you make it so all abilities are castable during area transition? Currently only Magnify and Storm Rider are, and they were a more recent change (maybe when Mycall was released, don't remember exactly when). Every other ability gets greyed out and is uncastable during transitions. If you can't or don't want to make all the abilities castable, could you at least make Savage Strikes castable, because that would really help Zeph's stacking FA.

Thank you for the feedback on active abilities and taskmasters. I'll add your vote to the item on our list and we'll see what happens.

Erika, forgot to say and the TM's click very slow, 1 second delay till they click on an ability
and also many of the abilities can't be clicked during Sprint and
Transition areas and at the same time we have now many siders that
require abilities to be clicked MANY times so the siders can't work... . Zefoei the new dungeon dragon for example...

You can stack Zeph to max if you want, but they're also pretty powerful just from having two max level increase runes, and making a formation to boost their slot 2 rune. Then Me, Myself and I is just extra.

The taskmasters click on an active ability as soon as it's available, though it is kind of impressive that players can build speed formations where there's not even enough time for the taskmaster to click before it's transitioning again. We may look at what we can do there at some point, so we'll see what happens.

Hey Erika,

No real requests. Just curious what your favorite mechanic from a crusader is!

Thanks

P.S. Farmer Brown crusader when!?

Hi arramdaywalker,

Boy, favourite mechanic. That's a bit tough. I guess I'm still pleasantly surprised that Garnet's Warp could be implemented, and it's pretty handy. Alacrity is a fun Crusader as a whole too.

Hmm Farmer Brown? Soon (tm).

Must say that I am very pleased with the changes to dungeons this season. I feel like the point and coin bump feel really good, and the rewards going above 40 but only listing until 40 feels much better than listing 100 levels and knowing that I have no chance of reaching them.

Only two things of feedback I thought I would bring up:

  1. rather than getting an epic item, I would prefer getting an epic recipe and craft it myself for the 100 materials etc, because otherwise we have to buy recipes for 1500 to fill in the missing gaps and can get useless recipes for reward items, so it ends up being a dead reward 90% of the time (plus I still have recipe gaps for previous crusaders so getting the desired recipe is even harder)
  2. Zephoriel continues a trend that some new crusaders have introduced: being forced to use a lower seated crusader to stack an ability. Are there any plans to release a character that unlocks multiple timed abilities? We now have crusaders...

I'm glad you're liking the drops and the hidden rewards. I'll pass that along to the team. :)

1) We can look at making it an Epic recipe instead for seasons going forward.

2) We hadn't considered making a multiple ability Crusader, but making it easier to charge two Crusaders by only needing one Crusader is a fair ask. I'll add it to the list of potential new Crusaders to consider. :)

Cheers!
