@ astridthecrafty: If you're on objective on a campaign you've already played, there's only a chance for bosses to drop chests the first time you kill them that play-through. There's only a guaranteed chest drop if you have a chest icon on the mini-map in the top right corner.

@ Loot: If you wish to discuss your purchases with us, you can put in a support ticket by following the instructions in this thread, according to where you play.

Pam wasn't "nerfed." She was released with her Epics to match the rest of the loot improvements, which we knew were coming. She's still powerful, set-up properly in formation, since she is on the 2nd spot in the Crusader line-up, which is very cheap for Crusader levels and the next step of x25 boosts.

Thanks for the reply CNE guys :)

It was Teschio's XP idea that was the truly great one:
Instead of across the board DPS boosts every 5 hours, since most players only have 1 (or sometimes 2) main DPS'ers in the party, XP that boosted the individual crusaders key abilities would be amazing.

...I can see that to be a potential coding nightmare, but you guys are smart :)

^^^ Yesss :)

As stated before in this thread, players will find a large bordered box with a large exclamation point (that draws your eyes right to it) before you play the game & every time you refresh...

"This game is currently in beta, so formulas, abilities, and features may change dramatically from day to day. Please don't hate us."

Codename is LITERALLY telling all players to be aware (or even "beware") that the game is not finalized in any sense. Why would they make that statement?
I would guess they put it there because there is an option in this FREE game to spend actual money, and they don't want players that choose to spend actual money getting upset as they make changes to the game (hence the "please don't hate us").

Nobody that plays CotLI has any right to get upset at any changes that are made in the game. Period.

@Loot - If you have freely chosen to spend money playing a game that is free to play, I'm positive that Codename Entertainment appreciates your support.

~They might even listen to you if you changed your overall attitude~

That "Cash-grab" comment you made was actually rude. If I worked for Codename and moderated this forum, I would probably stop paying attention to anything you had to say here.
Any problems or complaints that you have about this game can be completely summed up and put to bed with one simple statement:

"This game is currently in beta, so formulas, abilities, and features may change dramatically from day to day. Please don't hate us."

Do you get it yet man? Here, I'll give you another statement that might make you undertand things better:

"This game is currently in beta, so formulas, abilities, and features may change dramatically from day to day. Please don't hate us."

@ Missy: Thank you for the feedback. If we don't do it Golden Epic style or through another pass at loot and classic Crusader skills, then we'll probably do something for them with new Crusaders or other features.

@Loot

1. Oh beta does mean something, it means you run the risk of getting upset if you spend a lot of money and things don't go the way you want them to. Sound familiar? I really hope a light bulb just went off in your head, I'm making sense here.

2. They are going to run the game the way they want to run the game, and you don't know their vision for the future of the game. Most importantly, you do not need to worry about the integrity of the company, as it is not your company.

3. Fair enough, you weren't asking me, but this is an open forum. If you are discontent to the point where you start using innacurate analogies and even take it to the level of calling the dev's "cash grabbers" you have issues.
I was just trying to get you to understand the world doesn't revolve around a FREE game, and it definitely doesn't revolve around you my friend.
You aren't the only one experiencing the changes in the update, and you aren't the only one that spent lots of money on the game. You are, in fact, the only one whining and crying over a SINGLE EVENT CRUSADER. (calm chuckle)
You will more than likely be content with the future updates, just be patient.
You may have some good ideas for the game, express them here!
You may have some complaints as well, and you are free to express them also, but I would suggest a more constructive approach, your current attitude is childish.

Spoiler alert: I'm adding a fourth statement...
4. Too much negativity with you, I like optimism, so respond with another negative post if you desire. I for one will not will not engage in conversation with you any longer, it's like talking to a brick wall.
Try to go have some fun, be happy! Life is short! Oh, and grow up!

...or maybe just put Pam on the battlefield all by herself right in the middle and punch your monitor as hard as you can. That should fix your issue.

~over & out

I'm going to go ahead and say that the term "beta" does, in fact, mean nothing in this context.

"Beta" is a development term. Before a game is released, it's used to say that a game is nearly in its final form, but there's still testing to be done.

Once a game is available to the public and the developers are getting money for it (from sales, advertising, or micro-payments), then the game is released. Putting the word "beta" on it doesn't mean anything.

I'm not saying that this is a bad game. I like the game very much. I'm also not saying that they shouldn't change it. Many, many games have continued being updated for years after release. I'm not even agreeing with Loot about the changes. I'm just saying that they word "beta" doesn't give any more or less leeway. The game is available to the public and people have handed over money. That's not beta, that's released.
