well, this DPS stuff seems to mostly happen after levelling up Jason, so it doesn't really make sense to me, but as long as I eventually beat level 300 I'll still keep playing....
Jason has an ability that increases his DPS when other Crusaders in his column is under attack. If monsters are reaching the column and attacking while you're playing, the DPS while the game is open would be different from first loading it up with monsters not at your formation yet. Good luck on the journey to 300. :)
Did you have any buffs from missions awarded that would run out while the game was closed? Are you using any Crusaders with active abilities, like Robo-Turkey's zap, that hasn't recast yet when you first log back in? Did you last log in while the weekend event was running and buffing your DPS Crusader, and now that you've logged in since it ended, your DPS dropped back down?
I've been trying to collect all the parts of the witch costume from buying those expensive halloween bags, but the last 3 bags all contained the pants, and since all the halloween items will be gone from the shop soon, I'm stuck here being a six-legged bare-footed topless witch, which isn't what I wanted to be...
the pumpkin cats whole turn-me-into-a-defenseless-duck-and-surround-me-with-10-hyperactive-zombie-bloops technique is making the difficulty level of 30+ seem like it's at least 15 levels too low
I agree with the whole adding animals thing, but you should fight different animals at different levels, like an enraged platypus at level 1, and maybe giraffes and elephants at level 60...
