Greetings one and all.

Wrt formation change, I would like to see the second one altered because it is the one that I am unable to break the 5k areas on. I am getting 5,600+ areas on all the others.

What are your thoughts on a talent that would, on the first completion of a boss area give a small chance of converting a silver chest to a rune chest?

I see it as a ten level talent starting at a 0.005% chance going up in increments of the same.

Finally, Thanks for a great game. Long may it continue.

Hi draco9881,

A vote for Free for All eh? Interesting, it's pretty Mindy and Tiernan friendly. I'll note it down though.

Given Ana can basically guarantee a chest drop on a boss area, a Talent like that feels like a lot of runic chests from sprint runs. But I'll note down the request for a way to get more runic chests.

Glad you're enjoying Crusaders. :)

So I have been super thankful to the great minds on the crusaders discord/reddit because they enabled me to make it to 15k in each dungeon formation. However, I keep finding myself feeling that, rather than enjoyable, dungeons feel like a chore to me. I don't have enough time in a day (my computer is off at night) to complete 15 runs of the dungeon each week and it leaves me with a strong FOMO feeling. I haven't had time to do any of the new objectives like cursed child, because I don't want to miss out on dungeon levels.

Has the team considered any changes that would allow the devoted players to get the same or higher level of rewards from doing tons of dungeon runs, while allowing players like myself to not feel like we are missing out?

I'm glad to hear that the community formations helped out. There are definitely some great minds playing Crusaders.

We've discussed some ideas for other ways to get points for the season, but nothing in great detail. I'll note down the request though.

Hi,

May you add a request to have a button that will allow deleting saved formation

Hi Vitalii,

That's an interesting way to add a Delete button for the formations. I'll add it to the item on our suggestion list to consider.

Alright, one of the complaints I have is about dungeons.

One of the things we need to do is shorten the point spread between goals. It's coming up on 16 days and since dungeon season began. Other than doing event missions and weekly challenges. I have spent all the time there. I am currently at rank 19 and closing up on 20.

This is a bit too much in the hope of being able to complete the entire thing with bonuses in the next 16 days.

I like the idea but the points need to be lowered and allow the end layers more attractive to players to participate in the next season of dungeons.

One suggestion is to elevate or declinate the point totals based on the following criteria.

1) Idols and 2) Legendary Ranks. This would adjust the difficulty and the amounts that are going to be needed to deeply go into the rewards for the next season of dungeons.

What area are you reaching on the Dungeon objectives?

Are you taking the ones with the bonus point buff at all? Have you done any sprint runs (where you just sprint to your max sprint area, or a bit higher, and then reset) for points?

I vote for Fun and Games to be changed next dungeon.

Thanks for all y'all do!

Hi LC125,

Thanks for vote and stopping by the Q&A. :D

Fun and Games is definitely the formation that causes the most trouble. Beyond that, it might be worth taking a look-see at Achieve Flight.

Fun and Games vote noted.

Achieve Flight, eh? I'll note that to consider as well.

Definitely Fun and Games for a refresh. It is a consistent under performer both due to the shape and being the only 13 slot dungeon.

I see some don't like Old school for the no Mindy slot but even if you opt for leaving an empty slot and forgoing the Formation Full Up bonus it is still a better form than Fun and Games.

Fun and Games getting an update, will do!

This is kind of a silly response, if I'm being honest. No one's been demanding a refund for spent rubies if a change goes through, I've never even seen it suggested. It doesn't have to be a retroactive change to be a change.

No one may be mentioning it now, but 7 months of buying Rune chests for rubies at 300 vs 200 is a lot of chests missed out on, so someone would inevitably bring it up.

Erika, here goes.

  • Can't wait for next batch of T8 talents.
  • Question: Would it be fun if the dungeon formation should let me see 16 crusaders in formation?

Glad you're looking forward to Tier 8 talents.

We don't plan on having a 16 slot formation at this time.

Hi Erika,

Thanks for the chests. My personal vote goes to Fun and Games, there's just not enough space, plus there's only one spot in the back column which makes Marzi very sad. Speaking of Marzi, would you ever consider an overall power neutral / minor buff that makes them slightly less reliant on the back column slots? Something like a base value for Tempering Master + bonus % per slot in the back column, so they doesn't get so shut out. Alternatively, being a good candy dragon and all, Tempering Master could instead work with the number of unique tags in the back column, which is something that's more within the player's control than "number of back row slots". Thanks for your time.

Hi Not_Pro,

You're welcome for the chests. :)

Fun and Games is getting a lot of the votes, so we'll be changing it.

Marzi isn't meant to replace Sashimi in everything, more just to be an option, but I'll note down the suggestion.

No questions today, just wanted to apologize for not sending colouring sheets for a few weeks. I'll try to get my kids to do some this week, though!

Keep up the great work!

Hi rjakubec,

No need to apologize. The colouring sheets are there to have fun with, and the buffs are just small bribes.

Cheers!

Hi Erika, thanks for the code!

Please change "Fun and Games" and "Dark Dwellers".

Hi Jothda,

You're welcome for the code.

Fun and Games vote, noted. Dark Dwellers was already changed for the start of this season, so I'll let it go a season or so more before revisiting it.

Fun and Games is with ease the worst form we currently have in the meta. So I will vote for that one. I do personally have a hate for Sunday Stroll as well but Fun and Games is currently a lot worse.

Old School is actually in the top 5 best forms right now I believe so please don't listen to the people who want to change it for just a normal Mindy slot .. We put Mindy in a 4 spot for Odlie meta anyway. Premime for the win.

Hi JustRikki,

Fun and Games and Sunday Stroll, got it.

I also don't mind Old School, and it was only changed in season 2, so I think I'll keep it in its current form at least another season.

hi,

with rubies being a limited resource, can you please lower the ruby cost of runic chests?

the ruby shop has runic chests for 300, jeweled chests for 100.

the challenge shop has runic chests for 40, jeweled chests for 20 (3 for 60).

the ruby shop having them at 200 would bring the pricing in line with the challenge shop and make them more affordable to newer players.

Hi Halaberd,

We don't keep track of what currencies you used to purchase Runic chests, so we can't change the cost of the ruby chests, as there's no way to refund rubies already spent on chests.

Very interested in new T6 and T8 talents, mentioned in #leaks channel hoping they will ease the Evil Scheme completion. Any approximate schedule on them?

We don't discuss any leaked information.

There is no question, Fun and Games. I would like the twist for season 4, that F&G goes from worst to best formation with 15 slots, no one would expect that. I would also like to suggest for s4 my suggestion before season 3 (which you said you like the idea), to give small % of chance for 3 highlighted random dungeons to have double proc to have either idols and points, idols and coins or points and coins, and low % of 1 dungeon having all 3 bonuses (something like 1-2%). Also it would be nice to have counter of Garnet's warps for that run (like warped areas counter this run). And last question for you, we have not had 3 skins in skin shop for a while now, any idea when will that happen (or at all)? I have some neat ideas that would give good tags where those tags are needed, or very good thematic ideas. OFC, I don't work for free, but my price is very flexible, low-low price of 10 runic chests would be good start ;)

Fun and Games nominated for a change, got it.

I do still like the idea of the extra buffs, and it's on my list of potential updates for future seasons, but I don't see it being added with season 4.

I'll add the Garnet area counter to the suggestion list to see if it's possible.

With Dungeons having skins as rewards now, I don't currently see the skin store updates coming back, but we never know.

Which dungeon formation(s) should we change for season 4?
- In my opinion, the first one, cause it's the only one that there's no place adjacent to only 2 other places providing mindy to mimic only 2 crusaders.

Also, would it be possible to to add a hotkey to save formations? cause sometimes when we're using saders increasing the rate of drop quest items plus some speed bonus, there's no time to save formations because it switches screens so fast.

Another request to change Old School, noted.

Hmm, I'm not sure if a hot key for saving formations would be possible, but I'll add it to our suggestion list to consider and we'll see what happens.

Hi Erika, thanks for code.

This is something that have been mentioned before, but i wonder if a new approach or way to see it works too.

- The idea was to change missions of gold with runes, but you mentioned runes aren't planned to have any changes.

The new idea would be if based on a talent or challenge we could change that gold for a buff instead, it be something more meaningful for a lot of old players and new players can have that choice in a future.

Hi Kite-sama,

You're welcome for the code.

So a Talent that changes the rune power for Crusaders with that rune into something else?
