Hello Erika.

  • My suggestion: I think Other T8 talents will come soon as Season 4 arrives. The new talent that would affect runes/legendary item level for Crusaders I suggest.
  • Aside from only just increasing damage cap, I think the other 4T 11th objective after Deadly Tales would also increase Crusader levels.

Affect Runes or Legendary items how?

HI Erika,

Thanks for the chests. Well done on the S3 rewards. I like them quite a bit. I'm about to hit my 1 year anniversary with the game and should reach lvl 25 this season, but I'm still getting utility out of the early tier rewards.

Any hints on the new Tier 4 11th objective rewards?

Hi ROHK777,

You're welcome for the chests. :)

Very cool that everyone is enjoying the season 3 rewards. #nopressure for season 4, hehe.

Congratulations on the 1 year anniversary!

So, teasing the tier 4 11th rewards...hmmm, well, I feel comfortable teasing it might be cap related.

  • I know about going to the first and last areas by shift-clicking (or auto-progress for last, yes). I meant more like somewhere in the middle (like area 5000, when your current max is 10000), which can take forever to get to by scrolling. As a current example, for those that don't do 0-dps formations to farm with Odile, it would help out immensly to find a specific area quickly (which you can calculate somewhat easily where to go)

  • Awesome.

  • Yes, I know about the mousewheel to scroll (and hold shift to scroll a whole "page" at a time - but it's a bit jarring to use), but when you have plenty of favourites, that scrolling is quite timeconsuming (and is getting literally painful due to how much I have to use it) for when you wanna go to non-favourites (like for goldmissions, in which you put normal and/or low-prio Crusaders to get those missions counted for the Mission Impossible achievement).

Also about the scrollbar:...

  • Thanks for clarifying about the area selection, and what it's needed for.

  • I did mean you can't click on the bar of the scrollbar itself, just have to use the arrows/slider, but if that's cool, then might be worth adding.

The updates say that Nate's Candy Conundrum will launch March 25th, 2021. Does that mean the event Superhero Spring will be later than last year.

Yup. The spring events shift around due to when Easter happens.

So Superhero Spring will be after Candy Conundrum this year.

You'll be happy to know that after having this installed, yet gathering dust for several years in my library, I've started playing this the other day. Currently 108 hours in, and having great fun!

I'm too much of a newbie to really have much in terms of suggestions, but I love the game and am glad to see it's still getting regular support.

Oh that's very cool! Welcome to the game. :)

So Kongregate is turning off purchasing for all flash games on March 1st. I still have a bunch of kreds saved up and no other games I'd want to spend them all. Any chance of some kind of somethign being released before then to spend it all on? Just buying chests seems like a bit of a waste and I already got the dungeon pass and most of the taskmasters. Maybe an in game currency to bank it for later?

We won't be releasing anything new for purchase before March 1st.

I wonder - if, after noon pacific time - i open the dungeon shop first, will i be able to use those epic recipe tokens to speedily get the newly released epic recipes AND so avoid having the epic recipe missions spawn? i.e. do the missions spawn when i open the mission screen or were they already decided at noon - so that i might then get the epic recipe missions after spending the tokens on them - and so have to run a rewardless mission just to get it out of the way?

The recipe will be available in the Dungeon Depot, and if you have recipe mission slots available, you may luck out with an Epic recipe mission spawn. You could just let it expire rather than running it, if you know you won't get a reward from it.

1 run nets player only 4-5 times coins compared to points or idols dungeon making it worthless.

Partially because I don't want players to have a large hoard of dungeon coins or be able to instantly buy missed rewards from past seasons.

If we change the pricing on the extra dungeon runs though, I can see myself being open to revisiting the dungeon coin drops or buff.

Got a few QoL-suggestions:

  • The ability to search for and go to specific areas (of course, only ones we have completed). Can be useful for particular farming methods and achievements, without mind-numbing amounts of scrolling needed.

  • The ability to change the skins of Crusaders in the Missions screen. Particularly useful since Missions are so tag dependant. To note: I love the ability to swap skins quickly from the bench, with them added to the Missions screen too it'd feel "complete" to me :)

  • Again for the Missions screen: A scrollbar for the Crusaders, so we can more quickly move to specific Crusaders (like, between Favourites (Star), Normals and Low-prio (X)). Would also be neat if the scroll bar was colour coded depending on what Crusaders are in that section; Meaning, the leftmost side of the scroll bar containing favourite Crusaders have the scrollbar gold-coloured, the "middle" section of normal ones is brown...

Hi Daurakin,

  • What specific area are you thinking of? You can hold Shift while pressing the Left Arrow key on the keyboard and jump right back to area 1. And then auto-progress will take you back to your highest area if you toggle it back on.

  • I'm not sure if the mission screen would support that, but I'll note it down as a potential improvement.

  • You can use the mousewheel to scroll the list of Crusaders, but the scrollbar does seem to be a popular request. However, if we did add a scrollbar, it would be like all our other scrollbars, and not support clicking on it. You'd still have to drag the slider in the scrollbar to scroll.

  • Vote for the tag click or text search field, noted!

Know you may not want to give out exact numbers, but i'm curious as to the effect the end of flash had on the player-base. I guess Steam players weren't effected? But i was on Kong until the stand-alone client was released and know there were a lot of people there that had to switch or quit.

We did lose some players, but we didn't lose so much that we are going to stop maintaining the game. We've got enough players to keep updating for now.

And there's still players putting in requests to transfer if they did miss the transfer window.

Brilliant! I'm glad you're liking the rewards this time around. :)

Can we please get different rewards for the dungeon vouchers cause simply put the random weekend chests we get are mostly useless for those of us who have all the epics already. I would love it if we could get a few runic chests with them or maybe even a random golden epic or something of more value even trading them for dungeon coins would be better imo. I really like the dungeon rewards for the pass this time around. The only recommendation I would have is given we are getting deeper into the seasons given there are 3 now perhaps giving more dungeon coins in the next one would be beneficial as it's very difficult to amass a large quantity of them when it's much better to spend our time doing the dungeon or points runs

I don't plan on having the Dungeon Vouchers used for something other than chests, but I'll note down the request.

You are meant to choose between coins, points and Idols, depending on what you want out of the Dungeon, but I'll note down the request for a change to the coin drop rate for future seasons.

hello erika :)

my question today:

is there a reason why cne dont want us to get idols when going for points/coins in dungeon runs?

when going for idols i get idols, points and coins.

when going for points/coins i dont get idols.

i dont understand why... i would really like to get some idols when going for points or coins.

the buffed runs for points/coins award 125% bonus.

lets say im going for idols. area 15k. i get 3% idols.

if 3% was buffed (with 125% bonus similar to points/coins), the "normal" (unbuffed) idol reward would be ~ 1,3%.

i would really like to get some idols when doing point runs. why cant we get some unbuffed idols and you keep the buffed idol runs as they are? :)

thanks for your work. i really like the dungeon rewards this time. thinking about getting the pass, not sure yet. i dont have the time for 2 dungeon deep runs a day. i think i can make it to level 25 this time with max area 12...

Hi Made_In_The_80s,

You do get Idols, just not a large amount, when going for the points run.

I do want it to be a choice players have to make, if they want the rewards or the Idols, but players surprise me. Like the tactic that showed up last season was sprinting to area 5000 for points on the point bonus objectives, and then buying some extra runs for Idols gains that week.

That said, we are going to be looking at more ways to earn points with future seasons, and I'll note down your request about the Idols.

I'm glad you're enjoying the dungeon rewards this time around. :)

I'm aiming for release of the next batch with Hermit's Premature Party launch.

Will there be an announcement when additional 5th rune slots are opened or do we need to check periodically for them?

They'll be noted in the change log of course, and depending on what the update they come out with is, they may be noted in the accompanying blog.
