Sooooooo will the new PPP T6 be another game changer? Like Bruno and Jiao were?

Hi Environmental_Nerve2,

We'll see when we get there. :)

Hey Erika

When the new “features to get more rubies” come next year, will we be able to earn 600 a week?

Hi N00byDoobyDoo,

Depends on if you only do one objective for rubies a week, or if you complete them all and then save the rubies to spend on Rune chests weekly.

Is there a reason you seem to be avoiding dungeon related questions?

Which dungeon question did I miss answering? If it's from an old Q&A, I don't always check back over the weekend.

Good morning!

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 time of change.

 

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 Community Manager for Codename Entertainment, 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 through...

If you reload the game, the Scientific Tinkering ability shouldn't be causing issues anymore.

If it is, please put in a ticket through the game.

conclusion: no dungeon taskmasters bought since coins go to dungeon runs and rune chests and idols buff and might run out of coins eventually.

The cost of the Taskmaster is reflective for players putting in the work to earn it, since we don't want players to just be able to skip the season and buy the rewards immediately once they're available in the store.

The launcher will only run on MacBooks or Windows computers. Tablets/iPads/Chromebooks don't support Adobe Air, so it won't work on those.

Some players have mentioned for Idle Champions that they've had luck with Steam Link, checking in remotely on their game from their mobile device. You could try that with Crusaders on Steam, and your device, see if that works.

Hail Crusaders!

Mogra will entertain you now. Check out his colouring sheet, available from our website.

 

If we get 50 coloured sheets shared at us on our Twitter or here on reddit with the hash tags #lostidolscolouring and #mograstooth by Tuesday, November 24th at 4pm (16:00) Pacific Time (UTC-8), then we'll release a code for a 7 day long 400% DPS buff redeemable by all players. We'll be combining these entries with the last few sheets entries to get to the goal. Just 17 more s...

Thank you to everyone for the submissions!

Unfortunately, we didn't meet the goal this week, but we'll keep aiming for the 50 or more coloured pages with our next colouring sheet!

No more Crusading on an empty stomach! Kaines' Dinner of Doom is back again, and you should plan on getting stuffed. Among the delightful spread, you'll find 5 new objectives, a shocking new DPS Crusader and a devilish new look for last year's star!

This event runs until Tuesday, December 1st, 2020 at Noon Pacific Time (UTC-8), when the last of the leftovers run out.

Edit And the slightly delayed event blog!

First wanted to say that I think the changes made for this dungeon season have been great. Points and coin bonuses feel really impactful. I do however, want to make a couple constructive criticisms: It feels that deep runs are the intention of the dungeons, since dps caps are lifted, but the current design (15 runs/week) makes doing multiple deep runs impossible. I believe that cutting the number of available runs per week, and multiplying the rate at which coins and points are obtained would be much more conducive to a reasonable player's schedule.

I'm not sure how this could be addressed, but the other issue I have been feeling from dungeons is that it is so time consuming that it creates a dilemma for me, or anyone that doesn't have an extremely high idol count. End game players can do idol bonus dungeon runs in place of free plays, but right now I earn 10x more idols from a free play than doing an idol bonus dungeon run. I am stuck having to choose each week if I comple...

I'm glad you're enjoying the changes for the points and coins awards.

Deep runs are the goal, but the current points needed for the rewards is lending themselves to sprint runs for points combined with deep runs for Idols.

Future seasons may bring more changes with them, but the big rewards will always be available in the Token store after the season ends, if you don't earn enough points to get them during the season.

How goes the attempt to de-throne jiao? Anything else you want to leak about the new T6? Looking forward to our new orc meta :D

You're welcome. :)

The attempt goes. We'll see what happens when he launches on Thursday. Nothing more to tease about him other than his tags though.

Hi CNE,

can you please un-nerf Bruno? Or raise the max stack to 10000 so those of us who do not use the pre-mime trickery have a legit way to area 14k in dungeons?

Hi LordSerion,

We don't plan on reversing the cap on Bruno's ability.

Erika,

Thanks for the Runic chest code!

Regarding Kongregate, I have some Kreds with them that I need to spend before they shut down CotLI on their servers. Have you gotten any specific date from them on when they intend to do that?

Hi Croq360,

You're welcome for the code.

As per "download the launcher" note above the game, browsers will start killing Flash in December 2020.

Hopefully that's the end of December, but you might want to spend them before December starts to be safe.

Hey, Erika!
Is there info about arrival time of new Crusader Pack dlc?

Patiently waiting for Tiernan pack while checking steam dlc page everyday :(

Hi RealGrAnDx,

No date for a Crusader DLC pack, just our Extra Life taskmaster pack debuting tomorrow.

Tiernan is definitely next though for an addition of a DLC.

Dungeon Store items will only cost Dungeon Coins, aside from the random chests available for the Dungeon Voucher reward items.

It would be great if we could mark our favorite dungeon map and bonus. Perhaps increase the chance of this with a talent like jeweler?

Also, if you ever do a skin for RoboRabbit, I would love to see him have the non-binary tag.

Thx

So somehow tag the map and bonus somewhere, and increase the chance that that map randomly gets the bonus? Interesting, but the intent of the bonuses is to keep players moving among the various objectives and not just favouring the large ones.

Given RoboRabbit's current popularity, he's definitely a front-runner for the Easter skin next year. We'll keep the tag change in mind.

Cheers!

There are so many crusaders now that getting to the end of the line for missions is a clicktasrophe. I click forever to get to the old go to's when I need to change and let them go on missions. Could that row be coded as a band with the left arrow looping to the end of the line please? This would make things much easier. Thanks.

You can hold the Shift and Ctrl keys on the keyboard while clicking the arrow, and it moves to the end of the list. Holding Shift while clicking the arrow moves 8 Crusaders at once.

I'll add your vote to the list for improving the scrolling of list of Crusaders on the mission screen as well.

Hi - Could we get Rune Solvent modified to break the runes down also?

Using the Solvent is already a pretty big thing, but maybe we don't want the level of Rune we currently have. Maybe we have a lvl8 and want two 7's or four 6's, etc. Solvent could either crack the Rune a single level or maybe take it back down to a handful of lvl1 runes.

I don't necessarily think it is mandatory to refund the Catalysts, either. Losing out on the Catalysts would also increase the "seriousness" of using the Solvent to balance out the utility of getting back a more flexible product (many lvl1 runes)

Hi Porphyre1,

The intention of Runes is that the don't get unmerged, so that's not a feature we're currently planning on adding for solvent to do.

Many thanks as usual for the chest code

Would it be possible within the mission screen to identify crusaders who have a rune for increased EP when selecting a crusader for non EP missions such as gold etc as i want to keep the crusaders with EP runes purely for EP missions

Thanks

Hi Panthos56,

You're welcome for the chest.

Yeah, it would be handy to have equipped runes listed in the hover text for a Crusader on the mission screen. I'll see if we can sneak that in for the next update or so.
