Hi Everyone!



We've updated the mission system to help you grab Tier 2 Crusaders that you're missing, and their gear!



From the Changelog:



- Added 40 new missions to recruit and gear Tier 2 Event Crusaders.

- You must have both Tier 1 Event Crusaders from a given event in order to get the recruit missions for that event's Tier 2 Crusaders.

- These missions have higher EP requirements than the tier 1 recruit missions.

- These missions are in the same mission pool as the tier 1 missions, so depending on the Crusaders you already have, you may get tier 1 Crusaders some weeks and tier 2 Crusaders other weeks.





Enjoy!

Wow, that's awesome! That even includes the missions for Baenarall and Sisaron. That is more than 200 missions, now. Not a tiny piece of the game anymore, is it? :)



For those who wonder, you'll need 400 EP for the gear upgrade missions and 300 for the Crusader Recruiting missions to succeed with 100%. Gear and tag-checks are as before - legendaries count as epic gear. You have 15 tags and five crusader spots to fill them. And while none of the asked combinations seem to be impossible in theory you should get your more rare tags, up to speed, soon. And better all crusaders who have these tags.

nice addition, thanks.

but highlights the need that you really HAVE to have some way for us to sort our crusaders by EP and to see EP for all them in the missions list not just for missions where EP is needed (so that we can plan for other missions...).

Erika -

Soooo, it's very nice to have T2 recruit / gear missions, and I don't want to sound like a whiny schoolchild (therefore I'm now guaranteed to sound like said schoolchild), but... is there any chance we could have separate mission pools?



I ask because we already had a fairly large T1 pool, which has now gotten significantly larger. In keeping with my other big complaint (T2 crusaders sharing JCs with T1 and a frustratingly poor weighting of empty T2 slots to full, perhaps even e/e/e, T1 slots), it would be really nice for everyone, especially us long term players who have financially supported the game since the beginning, to have a better chance at gearing both T1 & T2 by separating them for missions and chests / GEs.



I hope it doesn't sound like I'm asking for the world on a platter; my suggestion doesn't seem that unreasonable to me (of course).



Thanks

@ihatethisfing:



I know. I'll have to be more carefull with sarcasm, I guess.



As it is right now - loot drops from chests and recipes available for me - I'll have to run 11 of the gear missions, and more than half are two or even three missions for the same crusader.



But it is great to have them included. Now, I can work a bit of strategy in and maybe save some epic crafting material by crafting only the rare piece of gear and run the gear mission a couple of weeks or months later. In case I don't use the crusader for my formation or any other missions I don't need to waste that much material on stuff I can get for free.

Nice to get T2 Crusader missions. Arachnobuddy, here I come!



Now, if we could maybe get missions that added EP to formation Crusaders...

@ kjbds: Thank you for the feedback. The Tier 1 pool is actually small, given that we moved on to releasing Tier 2 Crusaders.



The only choke point would be for newer players, who haven't had the best luck during the events, or who have unlocked both Tier 1 Crusaders from missions and then unlock a Tier 2 Crusader from a mission, and if they are not yet geared, will have all 3 or 4 Crusaders in their gear pool.



Missions are always meant to be complementary to actually playing the event for chests and unlocking gear.



With the crafting missions, once you've gotten the recipes for commons and uncommons, the gear missions will supplement getting the rare/epic gear recipes.





@ Cassius335: You can make an alternate formation to run, if you really want your most used Crusaders to get EP from the missions.
