Erika/AlynianaWe are delighted to declare the Crusaders of the Lost Idols Summer Games open! However, as usual with huge international events, nefarious ne’er-do-wells plot to disrupt the pageantry and sportsmanship. Despite his name, Dr. Evil escaped the surveillance programs put in place by the organizers. Now he has made off with the Summer Games Flashlight, the Duracell-powered symbol of sport (and convenient portable lighting when it gets dark). Recruit Veronica, the Android Archer and Bubba, the Swimming Orc. Veronica swaps with Jim and Bubba swaps with Artaxes. You can read more on the blog! Reminder: Chests for Participation Ribbons are only available in the store until the event ends. The timer counting down until the event ends is visible on the event information pop-up and the objective screen. The event runs until Monday August 22nd at Noon PDT! |

ErichHey Erika. The event is great, and I love Bubba. But I have an honest request: you see on the Tech Support subforum that there has been a problem with the game loading (I'm experiencing this too). Due to the fact that this bug happened during an event, can we get an extension on the event to keep it fair for folks that aren't able to play?
Thank you kindly for considering, ~E |

Erika/Alyniana@ Erich: I will pass it along to the designers, but since it only affected people who had the broken build, who were unlucky enough to try the 1st or 5th objective with the broken builds, and there is still lots of time to complete the event, as well as the fact that event objectives can be completed if you are on one when the event ends, it's doubtful.

Missy LenoirI don't think it was just one build or objective. I've been limping through multiple objectives using different builds having to refresh constantly because I'm being kicked off the server (not my internet). I have to attempt multiple times to log back each time. I'm not the only one in chat seeing this. I'm normally far further in an event by now.

ErichLast Edited August 11th 2016 at 10:41 AM Thank you Erika. There's one more thing I want to bring up. I believe it's a bug. Veronica seems to be a little off. Here's my video about that:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKswfQbhuhE The dps bonus drops every area when I have Veronica in my formation. You can see that in the video. When it gets "boosted" it's only when I reload my formation. If I'm wrong, forgive me. But I believe this is a bug that needs to be taken care of |

perform a flash cache clear as in the following process (a simple flash cache clear might not be good enough). http://forum.codenameentertainment.com/?thread_id=12010 and perhaps reboot your wifi router and cable/internet modem as your network connection might be iffy if those dns processes are stuck. |

ErichNo need to be explicit, Raymond Jerome. No bug is personal.

Erika/Alyniana@ Raymond: Your advice was irrelevant. There actually was a glitch that had locked players out of game if they were trying to start the 5th objective. Being polite about things as well, would be good. There's no need for name calling.
@ Erich: Your video is private. I can't see the bug. |

RaymondLast Edited August 11th 2016 at 2:28 PM not all issues are cause of your two glitches. some people's issues are exactly solvable using the info i provided.

ErichLast Edited August 11th 2016 at 2:10 PM Son of a... OK, sorry. I want to make that video public, but YouTube is sh't. So I don't know how to do that. I'm so sorry. I just don't know how to do this. I hate technology so much. I think I did it

Erika/Alyniana@ Erich: It worked, thanks. Looks like you managed to save a glitched formation, where Veronica's Precise Aim is applying more than it should be. When you change areas, something is recalculating your DPS back to the correct values, but when you loaded your saved formation, you manage to recall the bug.
The incorrect stacking is on the fix list. |

AzamagonThanks for the new event!
The new Crusaders are insanely powerful, especially Bubba (shame that he obsoletes Lion/Drizzle to some extent). However, Bubba's goldbonus has a weird dis-synergy with his own abilities: If you do NOT learn Synchronized Swimming, the goldbonus from Splish Splash gets higher (as per the description). While that is fine (I guess?), I am now heavily requesting the ability to turn off learnt abilities (toggling them on/off by shift+clicking them perhaps?). Otherwise, the "skill all abilities" button is (almost) a wasted talent for me. Now, everytime I wanna use that button, I have to swap him out for Lion/Driz, so I don't learn Synchronized Swimming. This QoL issue is quite annoying. By having the ability to toggle off/on any skill, this QoL would be fixed. Not to mention, this feature would also help other Crusaders with a similar issue of sometimes having skills you might not want to have active at certain times, such as: * Frosty's Chilling Power * Thalia's Lightning Rod * Jason's Subtle Deflection * Broot's aggro-ability * Bubba's Synchronized Swimming, as already mentioned. It would also be a fun and useful tool to use in general, allowing one to calculate DPS etc, by turning off abilities you don't wanna benefit from at the moment etc. If anyone think the aggroabilities (Thalia, Jason, Broot etc) would be abuseable, just make it so that when you turn them off, only NEW enemies will abide to the changed aggromechanics, but current enemies will not change. |
