New Objectives for Descent into Darkness 


We heard you like a challenge. We heard you like a challenge so much that we're giving you not one, not two, but three new Descent into Darkness objectives.

Lone Descent

These are no ordinary challenges either. First up is an objective where you have to clear 200 areas with one Crusader. That's right, only one lonely Crusader can be used to clear all 200 areas to win the objective.



Get Me Out of Here!

In the event that even that grueling challenge is too easy for you, how about we throw in a timed challenge where you have 80 minutes to complete 150 areas. Do you have the best diamond formation to make it through in time? *maniacal laugh* Don't worry, if you have warp cards, you can use them to bust through a tough mob of enemies.



Double Trouble

What's that? You think that's too easy! Then your third objective is to complete 250 areas in a diamond formation with double the number of monsters and bosses per area! Have fun delving to these frenetic depths!



Now begone and don't come back until you've finished them all.

Doggie Days are Here Again! 
Posted in Bush Whacker 2.

So Long Summertime...

The residents of the Commons want to close out summer with a blast! That big old event field wasn't being used for anything anyways. Help them build a temporary pool to chill out beside. Once you've completed all three building quests, the residents will come in and there will be 3 turn-in stations where you can bring Towels, Sunscreen and Life Rings to get event tokens for buying this year's custom items!

Plus, foster an adorable puppy for Nate. It seems he's ordered too many dogs (again!!) and needs your help to look after them temporarily. Once you equip your dog, he has some daily quests for you to do to keep the ball of energy occupied. Love the look of the dog? Permanently adopt it when it goes on sale!

  • Dog Days Sale - Buy all the custom items and pool items from 2013.
  • Dog Days Outlet - Buy all the custom items for 2014.

Explorers' League Desert Adventure! 
Posted in Shards of Titan.


Hi Shards Fans! It's event time!

A league of Explorers have set up their base camp in the event zone and invited you to come along while they investigate a Desert shard that has drifted nearby.

Venture through the various regions collecting items for all the Explorers' quests to turn in for Explorer League Credits to buy a selection of quest or reward items from the Quartermaster.

When you finish a quest, you can warp back to the camp to turn it in to the relevant character by clicking on the quest in the tracker on the left of the screen.

Talk to the expedition leader to send supplies you've gathered through the gate and reset the repeatable quests to complete them again. This ability is available every 4 hours if you've turned in a quest that completes from breakable drops.

Each region resets every 8 hours, or you can buy a Monster Lure or use Shardium to reset a region if you're looking to continue collecting everything right away.

If you happen to close the game while you're in the event, you'll return to the event region where you last were.

And keep your eyes open for possible secrets the shards could hold.

Plus, we've added a map to make traveling to the various regions easier!

To help you get started with your explorations, we have two packs up for sale! On sale until Thursday August 27th at Noon PDT!

The Desert Explorer League Robot Pack contains an awesome Robot Outfit (Head, Body, Wings and Weapon, awarded to all your account Characters) along with 50 Explorer League Credits to help start buying items from the vendors, 10 Monster Lures to Reset the area and 2000 Shardium! All for only $20!

The Desert Explorer League Prep Pack contains 10 Monster Lures, 10 Small Single Player Rage Bombs (power up before you fight!), 50 Explorer League Credits, 5 Slotting Rods, a large Class Attack Potion, a large Speed Potion and 500 Shardium, all for only $10!

Talk about it on the forums!

The event runs until Friday September 4th at Noon PDT.

More, Bigger, Better. 

We're always listening. Not in a sinister government type of way but listening to all your comments, requests in the forums, chat and emails. Today we unveil the number one requested feature by you the community: Formation Saves.

That's right, now you can design and save up to three different formations. It's as simple as setting up your Crusaders for the task at hand whether it's gold farming, beating a boss or a clicker formation. Once you're happy with your set-up, hit the Save button just below the Crusaders and allocate the formation to a number.

Gold Formation



Better still it's easy to activate the saved formations. Either use your mouse on the all-new buttons just below your formation or use Q, W and E keys to cycle between them. No delays, no worrying about moving the Crusaders, just instant unbridled satisfaction.

Boss Formation



Even better, the saves are specific to each campaign. That means you have three different formation saves per campaign for added convenience.

The other change we've made is adding a new full-screen option that can be accessed by using the Options drop-down or simply hitting the F key. Now you can enjoy Crusaders in all it's glory from screen edge to screen edge. Enjoy!
