has there ever been a fanmade crusader in the game before? if not, would the developers ever consider a sort of, competition for fanmade crusaders for certain events? like, people enter ideas on reddit, then the most voted for idea is the next created crusader?

Serpent King Draco and Montana James were pitched by a fan, and included in the game with some tweaks.

We ran the community contest to name Penny and Beary.

We haven't had a formal contest to submit Crusader ideas, though it does come up on occasion.

Hi there! I am just wondering if "The Crypt" dungeons will ever happen again? I was too weak to get the achievement of reaching level 25, I think I'm gonna do it in Clocktower (I'm at 23 atm), but I wanted to get the Crypt achievement too...

The complete the Crypt achievement should be hidden if you didn't complete it during season 1. It's just fallen down the to-do list a bit.

Season 5 will see the Crypt return, but it will have a new complete the season achievement with it.

Any plans for additional uses for Taskmasters? Cuz I have 13 of them... Some ideas:
1. Have a click area for just straight up farming idols at a slow rate.
2. Complete missions. This would let us cut down on the wait time for new missions to popup as well as make it easier to complete a large number of missions without having to click through them all.
3. Another slot in the autoadvance area, if all 6 are filled enables offline progress.
4. Put one on the event ticket slot to speed up how many of them you get.
5. Crusader specific ones like putting it on the portrait rather than the level up button to increase power of an ability.
6. Put it on the chest slot to open 1 silver chest per X minutes. Some of us have built up a lot of them and even clicking to open 100 at a time would take a while. I know why you won't add an open 1000 button but doing something like this should have little server load (hopefully) and allow us to more easily open chests...

We may do more with taskmasters, but it's not currently on the radar.

1) We'll keep that in mind.

2) Not a use we're planning for taskmasters.

3) We won't be adding offline progress to the game.

4) Interesting idea.

5) That one seems a bit out there, but we'll note it down.

6) We don't plan on allowing taskmasters to open chests.

Morrigan skin, noted!

Hi Erika,

Two of the things that this game is missing are offline progression and automation.

Now I never understood why offline progression even if its 1 area per minute never worked, or at least doesn't work now.

Now about automation I do understand that it will be very "OP" and your sales might go down cause a lot more people will be getting enough bounties so they have no reason to buy chests using money. Now, I don't know if that is the reason for why you didn't do some kind of automation or not.

Whether it is the reason for why there is no automation, there are a few things you can do to combat that and its: 1) make the Automator reset only once a day or once a week 2) add automation chests which will contain upgrades to the Automator 3) There will be a free to play and a paid option to those chests, just like in your other game 4) You can always add additional benefits beyond the just Automator speed and quality mechanics like legendary leve...

Hi SnowLoverTV,

We only had a very limited offline progress for mobile devices, since they can't be on as long as computers, but players were using that to cheese objectives they didn't want to do.

The game is too old at this point to consider adding offline progress, and with only one developer on it, that would be the only update players would receive after months of not much content. Idle Champions' offline progress took multiple developers multiple months to get set up, and it still doesn't work great.

Idle Champions automation system also took multiple months and developers to set up, which again, with one developer, Crusaders doesn't have time to implement at this point in its life cycle.

I'll note down the ideas were requested though, as a matter of record.

Griz deserves a cool skin, allowing him to be human+robot at least.

And about dungeons season 3 - we will need a lot more sprint levels (at least additional 2000 areas) if new requirements will be 14k+ area (otherwise 1 trip takes like a day for people who don't keep PC turned on 24/7), and if the idols % and/or xp cap would get increased more then it will be near impossible to get level 25.

Of course those sprint talents could be added to existing level 6-7 tier so that not only super high levels could buy them in tier 8.

Just saying this early on so you will have time for analysis.

Hi Challenger885,

Human-robot Griz skin noted.

We'll keep the more sprint or rebalance progress idea in mind, if we ever do approach area 20,000 for dungeons.

Cheers!

Hi Erika, happy new year.

I'd vote Griz personally. How about a token for a free GE from dungeons, now that would be something :) even if it was a rotating selection like the voucher chests from dungeon shop..

I'm curious if you think there is any chance cotli would ever be available through one of the flash emulators, like the one AG is working on.

Thanks!

Hi sqrzwol,

Griz skin, noted! He was the runner up for skin choices last year actually.

A GE or two from the dungeon rewards is something we can explore.

I would say it's highly unlikely, seeing as Adobe who had all the details and code for Flash, didn't make a substitute in all these years, but we'll keep an eye on things.

Hi Jothda,

You're welcome for the buff. It exists now, so it could show up again in future seasons. :)

Hey Erika,

Q1) Are you happy with Bounty Of Idols in it's current state? It's quite potent (in a great way) with just one level, never mind 200...

Q2) With Kong version being fully KO'd, can we get a 1.15 or 1.20 Screen Scale on the Steam/Downloader versions? Not vital, but 1.25 is slightly too big vertically.

Q4U -1) Can we get a "Grufflock" skin for Groklok that turns him into a bearded Viking wearing a bear as a coat & hood? (-Orc, + Human and Animal)

Q4U-2) EDIT: Ah, dungeon stuff. No idea here, TBH.

Hi Cassius335,

Q1) It's meant to help out with Idol collection where there isn't bonus boss idols or the dungeons idol bonus, so yeah, it's a bit potent. It does cost e31 Idols to max, though, so the potency is intended.

Q2) I'll note that down on our potential launcher improvements list.

  • Grufflock skin, adorbs.

  • Since players feel the rewards from the season levels still aren't the best they could be, just looking for some ideas of what would be appreciated.

I didn't have a chance yet to link my account so any kind of help there will be highly appreciated.

Hi CommanderLuca,

That's awesome, I'll pass it along to the team.

If you put in a ticket with your account name and where you were playing the before the death of Flash, we can get you sorted.

For season 3 I'd say more skins like Agent 79 and Epic Recipes.

Oooh, yeah, Agent 79's skin is awesome. Keeping the Epic Recipes around, cool cool.

Welcome back, I hope you had a great holiday!

I just wanted to find out if dungeon vouchers will carry over after the season ends or if they need to be spent before the season ends.

Oh, and thank you for the dungeon points buff over the holidays and for the extra week in dungeons!

Yup, the holiday was a good time. Hope you had an enjoyable time as well.

Dungeon vouchers won't expire, so you can hold on to the until you see a chest you like.

You're welcome! And now that we have the points buff in the game, it may make a return in future seasons. :)

EDIT: Also more long term question: Do you think in season 4, (or possibly season 5, the ~1 year anniversary of dungeons) you could bring back difficulty scaling for dungeons, as a speed feature?

E.g. once a player has unlocked level 20000 in a dungeon, "difficulty 1" appears as an option that changes the scaling such that it now takes the same dps as lvl20000 to beat lvl 10000. And the rewards for 10000 now also reflect what they would be if you hit 20000. So it speeds it up. You could of course scale it any way you want, and introduce multiple difficulty levels (e.g. once you reach level 20000 on diff1, you unlock diff2, so in the...

Oh cool that there's an anagram. Grok or Narg vote noted.

A few days at least for a break, given that we've extended the season a week. Not as long as last time though.

That could be a good use of the difficulty scaling, if we're aiming to keep the dungeon runs to a certain time length. We'll keep it in mind.

Cheers!
