Really digging the new Legendary Hoards talent, but with it I realized that there is now a real need to get more legendary gear as quickly as possible. Any plans on giving us another way to maybe purchase free legendary crafting tokens with dungeon coins or something?

Glad the runes have been fun. :)

I've currently spec'ed in some extra rune rewards past level 25 for the dungeon rewards for season 4.

The Gardeners Tier 6, in addition to being Flora, is also a Speedster.

Free crafts will only ever be from disenchanting a legendary item. They won't be items we sell for tokens.

What does “delayed for a bit” mean in practice? After the season ends?

I don't currently have an ETA. It depends on when we can squeeze it in between the next few updates and the bug fixes.

I'll have a chat with Wilson about it once we get Gardeners out the door.

Hey Erika,

Thanks to all of you for fixing the Nat/Nat bug.

Hi Cassius,

I'll pass it along to Wilson. Cheers!

Will there be a gap again between the end of Dungeon season 3 and Dungeon season 4?

Yes, there will be a gap. We don't want to release season 4 while Gardeners is running.

hi,

with runes becoming an important part of formations, have you thought about adding a talent or 11th objective that increases the number you get from a rune chest? even 1 extra rune per chest would be a welcome increase.

Hi Halaberd85,

Runes are meant to be a slow-growing mechanic, so we're not currently planning on adding a talent like that, but I'll note down the request.

Hello Erika, I was wondering about the new tier 8 talent Legendary Hoards if it increases DPS for every 5 legendary items level in the formation or for every crusaders owned.

Every 5 levels of legendary items across all your Crusaders.

A small suggestion due to today's new talent drop: When something that keys off a general total is added, please also add that total to the statistics page.

That's a fair request. I'll make a note on our QoL list.

I have had a chance to read your posts on runes.

We've had players with runes over level 10, which led to the e10 DPS increase (mostly) at level 10, push to get the 5th slot runes out there. It's also easier to buff things than nerf things, so I am open to revisiting the rune powers, in smaller batches at a time, now that they're out.

The Dungeons are meant to be the main source of runes, with the weekly sources there for extra and then spending if a player is so inclined. So I am looking at similar, if not more, rune drops for the season 4 rewards.

I guess since we overrode all the quests to be collect/kill 25 versus what is actually required for the campaigns we borrowed the backgrounds from, I can make a note about seeing if we can make it 2/3 kill 1/3 drop or something like that, and we'll see what happens.

Dark Dwellers was just changed for season 3, so I'm not going to change it again so soon. Fun and Games is definitely winning the informal po...

Oh, and that I need to do the rune scaling blog sooner than later.

Hi Erika!

Looking forward to seeing the last runes, Garnet included!

When will you guys be able to lift the veil a bit more on season 4? You spoke about different scalings on stream last week and it sounded really promising!

Hi XZlayeD,

I am looking forward to Garnet's rune when it drops as well.

Scaling, more runes, and the fun new prize are about all the teases for now, aside from Fun and Games getting changed up. :)

Have you had a chance yet to read either of my 2 posts about runes? Any thoughts you care to share if you have?

Regarding changing any formations, the only thing I'd like is if some of them(looking at you old school) could maybe get a few more areas that require 25 kills instead of picking up 25 items as the quest drops take much longer(can add upwards of 30 minutes to a run to 15k compared to the higher kill zone forms). In terms of the weakest forms, I think fun and games and dark dwellers are probably still on the lower end in terms of power. It's tough to say what will/won't be strong as I'm not sure what DPS requirements we'll be needing for next season.

Anything you are willing to share about the changes for S4? Are we going to be seeing some scaling to make it so that we require a lot more DPS to hit the same target area?

EDIT: Playing it Old School is one of the strongest forms we have, please don't change it's layout at all. Even if you don'...

hi again,

have you had a chance to read gragatrim's posts about runes?

also, can we get a thoogoose skin for thoonoose?

thanks for the chests.

Hi Halaberd,

Yes, I have had a chance to read the threads.

I'll note down the request for Thoogoose skin and we'll see what happens.

You're welcome for the chests.

Not with runes, but with the gold missions, since those missions aren't worth much for a lot of us, it was mentioned to change those to reward runes instead, but you said runes aren't planned to have any changes for now, so instead of gold missions rewarding gold, a talent or challenge can convert that reward in a buff, like speed, warp, more drops of idols, things like that.

Thanks for clarifying. :)
