Hi Erika, would you be willing to share some preliminary info about dungeon scaling? Specifically, what would the difference in dps requirements be to beat level 15,000 between a tier N difficulty and a tier N+1?

e.g. Assuming Tier 1 is the existing dungeons, which needs ~e2990 dps to beat level 15k.

Hi bippyarg,

Tier 1 would be the existing dungeons, as that's base difficulty level for the game.

I'm still playing around with how much "hard" and "harder" will mean, since while grag and some others can hit e9000 plus DPS, those are still exceptions rather than the rule. So a balance between encouraging power and formation growth to complete it and squashing all progress to an impossible halt if you go for the hardest difficulty.

On the topic of chest opening, which just like many other topics, start out as not an issue and then grows and grows until the player-base outcry becomes unacceptable and it is addressed:

This has obviously been brought up by many players on the past year, wanting to open more chests with a single click, as the number of silver chests generated by active players is.. quite large.

Now as you have mentioned, we understand there is a very real technical limitation stopping you from simply upping the numbers and adding a X1000 open button. The way chest contents are generated requires a server-side operation and communication to the client. So x1000 (or more) is a no-go.

However, a perhaps better approach would be to introduce an available intermediate step via a new currency, call it a "Silver-cart". You can put all of your silver chests into the silver-cart and you get 1 silver cart for every 1000 silver chests you put in. Now the silver cart has a special...

Gee this suggestion sounds familiar. I'll add your vote to the item on the LIST.

Yes, after season 4 starts.

about dungeons and incasing reward cap area:

power isn't issue, it's speed to reach reward cap in reasonable time
(sub 12 hrs w/o need to have all good gls). this season required mostly 2
idols runs per day to 15k to reach lvl 25 on rewards and that's not
easy when needs to do challenges (mostly no speed and no sprinting so no
wonder that many reset challenges after 100 tokens and go back to
dungeons or if no dungeons then fps) and event objectives (which tend to
be slow cause for some reason we can't use speedparty (drop rate) on
those). so at worst total of 2 days spent on non-dungeons.

Season 3 required 312,500 points to complete level 25, which meant an average of 1740 points if you used all 15 free runs in a week for all 12 weeks.

Without taking the dungeon points bonus objective, that meant hitting area 11,500 on each run in a week.

Taking the dungeon points bonus objective just meant sprinting and then running to area 6500 15 times.

And those numbers went down if you supported the game by purchasing the mysterious benefactors pass.

How players decide between idols and points is up to them and their math, but over a third of the players who participated in season 3 managed to get to level 25 rewards and beyond and still participate in events.

What are the steams (and times) we can watch to get some free codes. I found out about this game through Idle Champions and there are many many streams which give codes ... but I haven't found many for this game.

By the way - I am really enjoying this game!

That's cool that you've come from Idle Champions and are loving Crusaders too!

Idle Champions has so many partner streams thanks in part to the D&D theme.

For Crusaders, we only have a few sources of codes:

  • this weekly reddit Q&A on Tuesdays;

  • piggy-backing on Champions of Psychology for as long as it has episodes, which airs Tuesdays at 11am Pacific time, on the CNE Twitch;

  • the Crusaders Thursday streams at 10am Pacific time on the CNE Twitch;

  • the weekly newsletter chest on Fridays, if you're signed up; and

  • the colouring sheet codes for the ...

We don't plan on increasing the amount of event currency for events.

There is the Head Start talent, that helps you out with 2,500 event currency right at the beginning of the event (if you own the talent prior to the event starting) so you don't have to wait for time to pass to start event objectives.

Time Warps also give event currency when used while an event is live. So if you use a Delorean you get 30 minutes of event currency, which is 60 currency.

We're glad you're enjoying the game! :D

Hi Erika,

Do we have an ETA for the "Unusual Friends" fix? :)

Thanks!

Hi Darkliandra,

I've had Wilson working on season 4 tech, just so we can get the dungeons out in a timely manner, but hopefully he'll be able to look at why Unusual Friends isn't saving properly soon.

Cheers!

The rough ETA is after season 4 and Hidden Temple at this point, just so Wilson has time to do it properly.

Thanks for the chest. I am personally enjoying the break in between dungeons seasons. Gives the rest of us middle players time to play catch up.

You're welcome for the chests.

Glad you're enjoying the season break. :D

I like the idea of runic chests, so I spent less time with the details in order to finish 5 in a week.

btw. I couldn't join last week's stream, but watched it afterwards. I didn't see my imani sheet that I posted under How to Make a Rainbow :(

Sorry about that. We'll make a note to show your Imani sheet on stream this week.

Nice job using the squiggles palette!

Happy Friday!

There's no new colouring sheet this week, but you can colour in an old sheet from the ones available on our website!

 

Or, if you're feeling creative, you can submit your Crusaders fanart!

 

Bonus for this week: For every 5 sheets coloured predominantly with the colours from Squiggles, 1 Runic chest will be added to a bonus code, separate from the buff code. So if we get 10 sheets coloured in Squiggles colours by the deadline, I'll release a code that gives out 2 Runic chests. If we hit 15 sheets, 3 Runic chests, etc. etc.

 

If we get 50 coloured sheets shared at us on ...

Leveling up Vira's legendary to keep Alchemy active longer could help.

It's not a feature currently, but it is something I do wish to add eventually.
