In the "Runes" tab it would be great if you could add a filter "Mission time decreasing 4th slot" like you have it already for "Mission rewards doubling 4th slot".

You're quite welcome. Definitely some entertaining times were had over the years.

I'll add that filter to our list of final updates, and we'll see if time allows for it.

Cheers!

Just an idea for the sunset update : put up Trinket Chests in dungeon & challenge shops and make them work like runic chests currently work (6 per week with these 2 shops)

Interesting idea. It's kind of cool that someone like the Trinket chests. :)

Erica, thank you so much for this game!
She whiled away the time with long and lonely evenings for the last 6 years (Oh, God, how long!), allowed me to rest my brain and reconciled with English (taught German at school, not of my choice). Hope everything goes great for you!
And a peaceful sky above your head!
PS. What about the skins sale?

Hi dimitrius5naj,

Thank you for being along on the Crusaders journey. It's cool we could help with the English.

We'll be adding 3 new skins to the skin store on March 17th.

Thank you for a wonderful game and it's a pity that this adventure ends. Unfortunately, Idle Champions does not appeal to me and I hope that we will be able to create a new project. The things I would like to see before the final update are:

  1. Runic Grab Bags - nice as if it appeared in all stores
  2. More Jeweled Chests so that you can complete the achievements related to Ultimate Jeweled Chests (e.g. by increasing talent Jeweler
  3. Make to Arcane Geodes useful after unlocking all 5 slots (
    For example, buying with them Runic Grab Bags)

You're welcome. Thank you for being along on the journey with us. Keep an eye on the Codename socials then, if you want to know when we have a new game.

1) With the amount of requests about them, I think they might make their way into some store.

2) What happened to everyone's ruby stashes? Saving those for the weekly runic chests? We'll keep the request for more Jeweled chests in mind.

3) We were going to repurpose them, but it's not a part of the final content update plans.

All the best to you on your next steps and something else.

No, the results weren't shared. If we meant to share them, then we would have had the "view results" option enabled on the google form.

Players will still be able to make purchases if they wish to. We're not turning off purchases with the end of content updates.

That's a lot of respec'ing. But it's on our quality of life list to try and get something related to respecs in the final content updates, if we can.

Hello there! I am here just to say goodbye and thank you for amazing 7+ years of gameplay. I started on ArmorGames, then moved to Steam and I'm running it like that since there. I was hoping to finally do donation for Desert Bus, because I did that 4 years ago only, and after that was always short on cash when the event move in... Damn, I will not have a chance this time unfortunately.

But hey! Maybe it will be possible to make one-week event with donations for Ukraine with Desert Bus team as rewards? I know it might sound bad, but will give the last chance for people to do so and also make a good cause. Please ask Desert Bus team about that and maybe it is possible?

Also: do you can tell us how long will the servers run? Will it be one month, half a year, end of 2022 or longer? Were you thinking about that?

Anyway. Cheers again for amazing game! The only one I was playing with such passion for years! <3 Cheers from Poland!!!

Hi pandino89,

Thank you for stopping by and for being with us for the Crusaders journey. :)

Codename has a donation drive for the International Rescue Committee's Ukraine efforts currently going, from purchases in Bush Whacker 2 and Idle Champions. It ends tomorrow, Friday March 4th, at Noon Pacific Time (UTC-8) in both those games.

The servers will run as long as it's possible to do so. The only change will be depending on how many players remain, we might not have ...

Hi, Erika. Thank you for the code.

I wasn't quite expecting it to happen when it did, but the longevity of the game was always kind of on the back of my mind. So I think I came to terms with it faster than some. It will be a somewhat sad departure, but I got years of entertainment out of it, so I'm at least leaving with a feeling of satisfaction when I finish.

I've had Idle Champions as a mainstay since just after its release, so I'll be continuing on over there. (Thanks for that code, too, it helped a good bit with my quest for full epics, haha.)

Good luck to your future endeavors.

Hi DoctorNovakaine,

You're welcome for the code.

Yeah, definitely a lot of memories and a lot of fun over the years to look back on.

Oh, that's cool you're enjoying Idle Champions as well. You're welcome for those goodies as well.

Cheers!

Yeah well, thank for that e-mail code.... ohhh yeah it doesnt work, only 12 chars not 16 as required.

As the email mentions, it's goodies to get started in Idle Champions, if you want to try it out, which is why it's 12 characters.

do you have any idea how long of a break we can expect between the current dungeon season and the next? there isn't exactly a rush this time; i'm just curious.

also, this is just a shot in the dark, but would you consider removing the "Cannot be buffed by Formation Abilities" restriction on Ana's and Xochitl's chest increases? Springy has completely overpowered them for gaining materials, and gaining warps for events is mostly a matter of time rather than balance now. this sort of buff would at least make the new mega chest achievements a little faster (and you'd still need a tier 5 or t6 crusader to make use of this buff in the first place)

the runes faq still mentions a plan for a bonus you get if a crusader has all 5 runes open. was this the Runic Hoards and Powers of Old Renewed talents, or was something else planned? if it was something else, and you don't have time to do it anymore, can you give details about what you had brainstormed for it so far?

So, we do have the dates in the opening post of the Q&A, as well as the sunsetting blog.

Season 6 ends on Apr 28th, and season 7 should launch May 4th, 2022.

Most of the final game changes we want to make would be quality of life related over Crusader tweaks, so I don't think that would be something that would happen.

Nice catch on the Rune FAQ. I'll need to tweak that question. I kind of teased my idea on a couple of streams, which would involve unlocking a bonus power that would get stronger depending on the total levels of the runes equipped on the Crusader, along with paying Arcane Geodes to level up said power a bit as well. Definitely an ambitious idea though.

No, the list won't be released to the public.

I'm glad you've been enjoying Crusaders so much and thank you for being on the journey with us. Though an end goal is definitely something nice to have. :)

Good question. I checked with the team and the codes working in Crusaders for Champions of Psychology will stop along with the content updates stopping.

Thank you. COTLI was the first on-line idle game I played. It's been a journey watching it morph and grow over the 6 years I've played: remember when duplicate gear gave you EP?

One last QoL item suggestion: there are many times when the last digit is cut off from the top DPS # display. It could either be brought into the foreground or else be shrunk a tad to fit it all in, like the font size of CLK DMG.

I wish many blessings and peace to all.

Yeah, back when Enchantment Points made a little sense as a name.

Such large DPS. I'll add it to the list, since I do agree it's a bit annoying when it gets stuck and cuts off that last digit, and hopefully we can get to it.

Thank you for being a part of the Crusaders adventure. :)

well thanks for all the help i have received ,and all your hard work. a quick Q idol champions is of similar content to lost idols and i am curious to your opinion in new players joining it .....spending a few bucks on the game and then that also becomes sunset,? see you on the next journey :}

You're quite welcome.

Idle Champions isn't going anywhere. It's currently doing very well and has some exciting new features already in production for this year. But if the impermanence of digital things gives you pause, don't feel obligated to spend on it. Do what feels best to you.

Hi Erica, I recently paid for the season pass with the idea in mind that the game will continue on. I will probably stop being so invested on the game. Is there a way to return the items and get a refund?

Hi RabbiZucker,

Thank you for the purchase. As purchases contain consumable items, they are non-refundable. And you will still be able to finish out season 6, and continue to play the game even after the last content update. The servers will remain up as long as we're able to keep them up.

Thanks for a great game Very sorry to see it sunsetting. The game has kept me going since my partner passed away in October 2020.

I'm wondering if we will still be able to get the last Epic for the dungeon crusader Matt Spacewalker and Zephoralei and any others the community hasn't got

Good luck with for all who work on Crusaders of the lost idol with your next projects

Hi JulizaLight,

While the content may be ending, the servers will be up as long as we can keep them up.

So there's only 8 more Golden Epics being added to the game, with 2 of them coming tomorrow with Hermit's event and the weekend buff. Any other Golden Epics won't be added.

Thank you for the well wishes.

I'd like to address the elephant in the room that is the Crusaders Chat. It has been something that we were told was going to go into effect when the launcher was updated, back when flash stopped working in browsers. That thing being the addition of permanent chat rooms.(just five or six would be ideal, which would be the three main ones that we always chat in and a couple additional ones for if a couple players want to have a more private conversation) Please tell me there is going to be an update to the launcher?

As it is we'd be down to just two chat rooms right now if/when chat goes down.

Also since support will no longer be active, could you look into a way to possibly reset chat on like a daily basis automatically(or like set up a reminder daily or twice a week). Since it is a very common bug for a player to be unable to see any posts until the chat is reset.

This is the one big obnoxious elephant in the room that while manageable wit...

Hi KameRose,

I don't think we'll have time for chat improvements over the more requested quality of life features unfortunately.

Since the CNE launcher chat is on the CNE chat server, it will get restarted when Nick restarts it at the request of Bush Whacker 2 players.
