Another vote for the Old School change, noted. :)

Indeed. Apparently my brain is already thinking of food today.

Hi Erica!

If possible, I would like to change the first formation in the Dungeons (Old School). On the one where you could put Mindy Mim normally.

Thanks for the code!

Hi dimitrius5naj,

A vote for a Mindy-friendly formation for Old School, noted.

You're welcome for the code. :)

Howdy. Thank you as always for the chests. I would like "Fun & Games" formation changed. In addition, it would be nice for "carrot" rewards to be past level 25. Something meaningful if you want players to do points runs instead of idol runs. Have a good day.

Hi DragonFuhrer,

Better carrot rewards for going past level 25 has come up a bunch. It may be something I look into.

Have a good day. :)

Looking forward to the next (final?) batch of 5th runes!

Regarding dungeons to change: I'm not suggesting it change per se, but the one that causes me angst right now is Playing it Old School, as it doesn't have a good location for Mindy (no 2-target slots), which means that I don't activate the Formation Full Up talent. I can still get to 15k on that map, just seems odd/inconvenient to have a slot left open. Maybe it just bothers my OCD more than being a real problem... ;-)

You're welcome for the code.

Yes, final batch of runes aside from Garnet. Future Crusaders will debut with their 5th slot rune. :)

last ama you asked opinions about complete all missions. it's fine as long as buffs (dps and gold) are excluded since those are for challenges not for objectives, etc.

Yeah, when we do the complete all missions button it's going to have selections for what type of missions, for the players who do save missions.

Welcome Crusaders!

Before we begin today, I hope you are safe wherever you are, and that you are in a position to take care of yourselves during this weird time.

 

For those of you who are joining us for the first time, I'm Erika, the Live Services Manager for Crusaders of the Lost Idols, and I will do my best to answer your Crusaders questions. This Q&A is so you know where to find one of the team to chat Crusaders weekly.

I will be answering questions live for the first hour and then checking back throughout the week.

Thanks for garnet. Its nice to get some a new form a speed going. One thing though the description for the secondary/legendary effect on her rings is misleading and has caused confusion. It buffs targeted dps effects not self only. Since other than being adjacent instead of rear column it is functionally the same as holddoor's loyalty i would request the description on the gear be changed to match that ability.

Hi ryan,

You're welcome for Garnet.

The second legendary effect is supposed to be self DPS formation abilities. I'll add it to the bug list.

Hello Erika, thank you for the runic chests and bug fixes. New next batch of T8 talents will help players in Evil Scheme objective. Once the 3rd season ends, I will save up for idols for upcoming T8 talents and do remaining T5 objectives.

Sounds like a good plan.

Hail Crusaders!

 

Garnet stars in our latest colouring sheet: Galactic Enchantress, which you can find on our website!

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

If we get 50 coloured sheets shared at us on our Twitter with the hash tags #lostidolscolouring and #garnetgalaxy or shared here on reddit by Thursday, April 29th, 2021 at 4pm (16:00) Pacific Time (UTC-7), then we'll release a code for a 3 day long 25% Idol buff redeemable by all players....

Thank you for all the super detailed colouring sheets! They look awesome. :D

We didn't hit the goal for the Idol buff this week, but here's to soon!

Very cool!

why does Greyskull have an "increased max level" rune?

why does Garnet have a mission gold rune?

Hmm, looks like Greyskull got flagged as DPS instead of Tank. We'll get him sorted out.

For the same reason not every Crusader with a Gold tag has a Gold mission rune, variety.

I'm wondering why, when you choose a skin icon, it doesn't automatically change the tags as well. At least, that is what is happening for me. If it is a feature, not a bug, I'd like to see the two things, choosing the icon and the change in tags happen together.

Some players just want the look, not the effect, or vice versa, so for Crusaders that have effects that come with their skins, it needs to be toggled separately.

I'll add your vote to an "add both" button on our suggestion list to consider.

While thinking about the game, I realized that the only "currency" in the game we can't actively do anything towards getting any faster is runes(I don't consider GLs a currency, although you could make the argument). The next closest in terms of limiting factors, would be challenge coins, but at least in that regard we can decide if we want to spend time pushing deeper on the challenges or not. For runes, the only thing we can do is wait for time to pass(or spend money).

I think I recall you saying that the runic chest purchases were limited because the end game players have way too much excess currency and they'd be able to buy too many and make the gap even larger with newer players, but it seems like the same thing is going to occur with this method(or really any method). Is there any chance we could get some way to earn runic chests/runes that we could actually impact by doing something? I know I've asked in the past to get some nice rewards in the paid pass for level...

We're pretty happy with the amount of runes given out by the season pass currently, but I'll keep it in mind when finalizing the rewards for season 4.

Maybe we can do something like the 3rd Golden Epic in the challenge store, increasing the runic chest purchase amount through objective completions or a dungeon level reward.

Hi, Erika. Thanks for the chest code. A potpourri follows, brace yourself:

1) Even this late into the releases, I'm still having a hard time parsing the philosophy of the 5th runes. When they were held back, I thought that they were supposed to be pretty revolutionary, but the actual result hasn’t really been so. It's true that some of them have made some edge-of-meta crusaders more attractive for experimentation - Bruno, Mycall, Xygallix, Carmen and Petunia in the latest batch are all in consideration with help from their 5th runes, which is really nice and gives incentives to play around with more Crusaders and formation ideas. But these have been by and large the exception rather than the rule. While it would be impossible to bring every crusader up to an equal point, some of these runes seem like they aren't even in the ballpark. I'll point to Aphelion as a particularly egregious example, an already incredibly outclassed DPS crusader, and his 5th rune seems signif...

Hi DoctorNovakaine,

You're welcome for the code. :)

1) The 5th slot runes were held back so they could be customized to the Crusader, versus just another DPS All, something else based on the Crusader's tags, or buff what their weekend buff buffs.

As mentioned on stream a few weeks ago, the goal is to have a level 10 5th slot rune give around an e10 DPS increase, though there have been a few exceptions, like Bruno (but he's sharing a seat with Odile.) Then level 11 runes and higher could provide a bit bigger of a bonus for the amount of resources they take. It was also a case of tune it low, because nerfing something powerful doesn't go over well either.

Once all the 5th slot rune bonuses are out, we may revisit. I'm pretty proud of us for getting them out in the timeline I originally envisioned, while doing normal content and event updates.

2) I am considering using Garnet's rune to affect Reality Warp, if possible.

3) Idle Champio...

I am just wondering. Is there anyone on the radar right now that you want to try to bring into the dungeon meta or just reworking someone for general use/challenge? Or are you guys still busy enough with the runes?

Also are we getting a fresh breeze in the challenge restrictions and forms again soon? I would still suggest reworking Blast of the Past overall, it would be nice if we could also use T2 and T3 crusaders in it. Maybe even T4 depends how strong you want it to be. But its currently so much weaker than the rest in its current state

Adding the Alien/Evil/Undead/Non Binary/Flora/superhero tag to already existing challenges would also be nice. You could also make a specific challenge with all those oddball tags together? But it would be nice to see those tags at least somewhere.

Hi JustRikki,

Aside from tweaking Marzi, it's 5th slot runes, Gardeners and season 4 on the plate for now. The wish to rework some older Crusaders was just a wish for now.

The challenges update is still something I want to do this year.
