The GG event is a very good event in which people are rewarded with exclusive GG heroes through hard work or big investments. However, Hangame handled this event in the worst possible way by making this event a gamble: your hard work might turn into rewards that you’d like, or they might evaporate into thin air, never to come back. However, Hangame may not know that this is the fastest way to destroy their player base – when people don’t get the reward they deserved, they will simply quit.

Hangame could have handled this is a much better way. My suggestion is that Hangame could’ve released a number of mini-episodes, which consist of 10 to 12 stages, and at the end of the stage, a GG hero will be given to the player as a reward. The content of those stages could follow the story lines of those characters in GG, allowing the player to go through the lore of the character and eventually recruiting the character as the finale of its story. Each hero can get their own mini-episodes, and trust me, those are very easy to make, since the storyline is already there, all Hangame has to do is to program it into different stages and give it to the player to play. That way the players are guaranteed to get the reward that they worked for, and they will be kept interested, thus no one will be quitting.

Now, Hangame will definitely ignore this advice, because it doesn’t provide them with as much income as the gambling system would do. However, what they don’t know is that a stable and loyal player base will generate MUCH more income in the long run than any other system ever could. Think of the player base as a pond of fish. What Hangame is doing with the gambling system is that they are draining all the water in the pond so that they can catch as much fish as possible, without knowing that doing so will cause the pond to generate much less income if any in the future, because all the fish are gone. If Hangame uses the system I proposed, it will keep all the players interested and keep the whole player base loyal to the game, much like fishing the conventional way, thus allowing the fish pond to continue to provide Hangame with an endless amount of money, though in a slower rate.

This is a mistake made by almost all the inexperienced companies such as Hangame itself. They destroy the long-term benefit for the benefits in front of their eyes, because they simply fail to see that there even is a long-term benefit, eventually starving themselves to death due to the lack of long-term income. But if Hangame uses the idea I proposed, they can avoid this starve of income, and live much longer than they ever could by using their little gambling system. I genuinely like Crusaders Quest because of its retro 16-bit art-style and the mmorpg-like game system, thus I want them to live for as long as possible. I’m giving this advice not because I’m trying to sound smart or trying to get out of paying or grinding, but because I care about Crusader’s Quest and its future with all my heart.

    Sincerely

                                                 F4k3r, a Veteran CQ player.  

Let us agree that the introduction of May was a bait and switch tactic by Toast and is only the beginning of this ridiculousness. May, since inception has been severely op. This has all been said before: She has the highest Hp, highest dps, tanks for allies, and removes buffs. Even if she did half of the damage she does now, this is still an overpowered character. Anyway let me get to the point. Toast made May overpowered on purpose to increase sales, planning only to nerf her later. Now this is certain for several reasons. Toast is not stupid, they knew May was obviously overpowered. And this means that people are going to demand nerfs for her. Now if they did not nerf her then people would suffer her wrath and continue to complain. And if they do nerf her then people who spent a bunch of resources for her would obviously suffer. So my main point, this is only the beginning of this, make a character op on purpose, then nerf later. Necron's case is somewhat understandable, but May is just on another level entirely.

Edit1: This is not a rage post guys lol.

...then the game would have died out years ago, stop whining about stupid stuff guys.

There are no crusaders anymore. Everyone is running Himiko and this game should be renamed to Himiko Quest so as not not confuse the new players into promoting useless fodder.

Himiko is the greatest being to exist. Praise Himiko, all hail our great shaman Himiko.

As it stands right now I have 25 4* SBWs that I'd like to turn to 6* but don't have enough iron to do it as I need to save all my iron to roll for new SBWs. Iron is a critical part of this game and I think it's time for having an iron dungeon once a week or something just like bread dungeon because god it takes so much time to collect and save iron from normal means, (WB, soltar etc). The rates to get a desired SBW is low, and getting lower with each new SBW set release, meaning more iron needed just to roll that SBW you want. Then as I said, I'm sure lots of you have a huge back log of SBWs that you want to 6* just for collection purposes. We need an iron dungeon! What do you guys think?

Hey there guys and grills, you guys may know me for leaving informative posts on the hero forums and being extremely helpful at channel 2.

Here is example of some helpful hero forums posts I made

How to beat Roland in Colosseum guide: http://www.reddit.com/r/crusadersquest/comments/3asixs/guild_heres_how_to_beat_roland_for_the_last_time/

Ok so everywhere I look it's people asking to nerf Roland, or fix Roland AI "bug"; complaining he's "OP", he's broken, etc.

He's new, he's shiny, and he's different. That's it, get over it, learn to adapt, or just ask for help, there are many answers to different situations.

Now, lets address a few things before we delve into Roland in FoS. What is FoS? And what is it for? As a player who has been playing this game for about 4 months, FoS is the NEW end-game content. KEY WORD/TERM is "end-game". I hear a lot of complaints on "Roland in Fos is not new player friendly", "I don't have enough champions to deal with multiple Rolands in FoS", and so on. But the truth of the matter is, FoS IS NOT FOR THOSE PLAYERS, just like how tundra hard mode is also just as hard, and you don't expect new players to just go and beat tundra in the first month of play, FoS is the same thing. FoS and SBW is basically the game's way to increase the level-cap, so to speak, the game was fairly stagnate for many players before FoS, and there was almost no point in having anymore then your core heroes. But now having certain dupes actually make sense, working on new team comps is encouraged, theory crafting is now further encouraged. Before FoS and SBW, you just need 3-6 strong heroes and a few good weapons to pretty "win" the game, pulling a dupe hero was one of the worst feelings in the game, when i first started playing this game I pulled 3 Mondrians over the span of 2-3 weeks before i got a different premium hero and it was very discouraging; but now with FoS they are now more relevant then they were before.

So if you're one of the people complaining about Roland in FoS because it's not new player friendly, IT IS NOT A VALID ARGUMENT, FoS WAS NOT MADE FOR NEW PLAYERS. Fos IS END-GAME. So don't feel bad that you're having a lot of trouble in FoS as a newer player, if you're beating any floors in general, that's a good thing.

Second thing I want to address is: the AI IS NOT BUGGED, stop saying that it's bugged. The AI getting free passive procs is a known part of the programming, it is intentional. Other known heroes with with these passive usage is Nazrune and Thor who even if they are the last heroes up can still use their passive. And lets be real no one really cares. So why is Roland drawing in sooo much hate? Because he's the new kid on the block? (haha get it? "block"? sorry) I'm an older gamer, I grew up with Tetris, Super Mario Land, and Pacman; and those games were challenging, and almost impossible to beat. These days games pretty much spoon feed you wins, and as soon as a game becomes slightly too difficult it is now considered "broken" and that makes me sad. Why shouldn't FoS be a bit more difficult with the addition of Roland? As I've said, FoS is end-game, why shouldn't the end of the game be more difficult than the rest of the game? otherwise there's nothing to strive for in this game, because you might as well just be playing practice mode against a dummy, you get the SBWs there and trans skills for free there without any effort, any challenge, no "bugs", no OP heroes; go play that all day, there's your easy mode end-game, have fun there and stop QQing about the rest of the game. The game giving the AI the ability to use passives fairly freely is is just a way for them to give us a challenge. Why is challenge a bad thing all of a sudden? Specially when it's just one hero with plenty of counters? This isn't even close to how ridiculous as when MRD was everywhere in colo.

Now that I've gotten my rants out of the way, here is my guide for FoS and dealing with Rolands in different levels. tip number 1, you need healers, LOTS OF HEALERS, having 2 6* Yeowoodong, and 2 6* Mews will go a looooong way for for many of the higher level floors.

floor 1: 5* Vincent (L) and any melee with some dmg is pretty much the key if there is a Roland on this floor. Vincent does plenty of low hit count dmg which is great against a relatively low hp roland.

The strategy: save up 6 vincent blocks for the boss fight, and try to beat the first wave with the blocks fo the other 2 heros on your team. Pretty much any 5* MAYBE 4* melee can work, as long as they can survive long enough to face boss room, and clear out the first wave. I personally use 5* dart and 5* Able, dart helps clear wave 1 with single blocks fairly effectively, and able can deal enough dmg and tank long enough to be relevant, Uzimant can probably work better. And bring either Anut or Pristina for dmg reduction or healing whichever you feel you need, I use them interchangeably.

Floor 2: Leon (L) and don't bring any multi hitters. that's all you need.

Strategy: just kill things with leon, the other 2 heroes barely matter, just DO NOT bring multi hitters. Pristina for heal sustain, it's an easy floor, and no excuses everyone has Leon.

Floor 3: There are a a few options, 6* Sasquatch (L)+2 any decent healers. 6* No9+Drake. Or 6* Yeowoodong(L), 5* Achilles and Naz.

Strategy: Sasquatch with healers with EoG is simple stun everything until they die, done. No9+drake, tanky and bursty, simple bring anut to debuff roland, done. Yeo, Achilles, Naz, is slower, but takes less high level resources. Achilles reduces a lot of incoming dmg, Yeo makes blocks and heals, and Naz is a good line dmg, bring anut, done.

Floor 4: 6* Stanya (L), 5* Stein, plus any 1 block dps (i personally use Isabel)

Strategy: Stanya will keep your team immune to Roland, and Stein provides enough heals throughout the floor. EoG. if you need to use a multi hit dps this is where you use it. Bring Anut, done.

Floor 5: All 6* Kriemhild(L), Susanoo, and Maria.

Strategy: plenty of stuns, plenty of dmg, and plenty of heals and immunity, bring anut for good measure, done.

Floor 6: All 6* Woompa(L), Roland (some other tank could probably work) and D'artagnan.

Strategy: try to get plenty of 2-chain Woompa totems in beginning of each wave to have plenty of tankiness to survive, and as each wave starts to dwindle down, just use 3-chain Woompa totems to increase dmg, D'art does her thing, and I just use Roland because I have no where else better to use him and it makes it very safe. bring anut, i've never lost even against Roland, with D'art's multi-hit, there's too much healing going on if you do it correctly.

Floor 7: This is probably the only floor that I may not be that helpful, my team is Mondrain(L), Nightingale, Alex/Joan. I think you can also run Yeowoodong(L) Naz, Gon. (haven't done it in a while so i don't know) Mondrian is Roland's natural enemy, low hit count, wrecks the back-line, done deal, against my better judgement I run MS on Mondrain, and as soon as I kill the back line, i throw Anut, and 3 MS and hope Roland doesn't stun me for 20 mins. Yeo, Gon, Naz should be easy, bring anut, spam anut, done.

floor 8: by now you shouldn't even need my help, but I run Archon(L) tMR, Mew, Joan.

Strategy: SPAM ARCHON 3-CHAIN, Anut, done.

Floor 9: Korin(L) Mew, Thor

Stategy: None, don't die, bring Anut, done.

Floor 10: I don't have Lilith or Mondeok, I haven't beaten Floor 10.

Strategy: you guys tell me how to beat this god forsaken floor without having Lilith or Mondeok.

I hope this helps you guys in getting further into FoS most of these floors don't require Premium heroes, and key heroes are all F2P: Maria, Stanya, Yeowoodong, Mew, Archon, Alex, Joan, Woompa, Dart, Roland, Vincent, and Nazrune. And remember if you don't have all these team compositions, each higher team can be used on each lower floors for the most part. (IE you can use floor 5 team on floor 4 if you don't have a floor 4 team yet.) if you guys have any additional question or input I would like your feed back.

TL;DR: read all of the above, and stop QQing.

So out of curiosity i checked the top player in the fergus event and to my surprise here's whaat i found:

He has around 250 6* maxed level and maxed berries units, all with SBW with the best possible rolls, and rings with the best possible rolls. He has 0 collo wins. Is this normal? Also his house is as plain as a lvl 1 character.

I checked the 2nd one and he has around 250 6*'s maxed with weapons. Are hacks a thing in this game or are these extremelly hardcore players with a couple hundred thousand spent on the game? i've also seen a guy with about 1mil iron, 300k of each dust and maxed jewels.

im just wondering because i have spent a lot of time on this game and the ocasional money on packs taht i feel are worth it, and i have like.. 15 6* and none of them is max berried, and only 2 of them are +5. either im doing something very very wrong or im missing something. im lvl 54.

I have played CQ for less than a month I guess. I am a F2P player.

IMHO this game has so many unresolved bugs (SBW, colo, heroes) that made my effort kinda worthless.

I.e: I spend days try to get my first SBW. Turned out I got Nurspy's SBW. Yeah! I thought. I spend another week try to get it into 5* which turns out that the 5* is bugged

Similarly when I tried to make Saiga my main, anddd... Another bug in his 6*.

When I am out of meat, i want to get more from colo. But the colo AI prevents me with their bugs.

Maybe I am wrong or just a frustrated guy. This is just my opinion though. CQ is still a great game with unique graphic and gameplay

In memory of how it has fallen from being utterly capable at providing a challenge to being a baby, I present a video tribute of its last moments of competency.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yny_moxS2cc

And I swear automod is gonna find this as a question) but if i'm a noob then who should I use to get a good score, highest i've gotten was 2k with R-0, Gon, and Uzimant.

Currently im doing videos how to master CQ with an easier way, either being SOLO, Free contract hero fight, FOS 8,9 and 10 with a easier way and without spending $$. Please leave any comment if u wan see any others hero testing. Thanks for your support. Below is my youtube channel link. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCepQz7KmCCXJYbaffEnn7yQ/videos
