EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

May 24, 2013

NEW CHANGES/FEATURES:

• New Exile / Legion packages added to the store
• Added a mail search field (searches the sender, subject, and message)
• Character stats page now shows Faction alignment
• Faction Founders now have access to a "Send all" mail button for their faction.

BALANCE CHANGES:

• Mercenary
• This change is a first step in providing Mercenaries with more of the tools they need.
  
  • Atom Smasher replaced with Static Smash
  • Static Smash - Absorbs energy from the enemy as a percentage of damage done. Costs 0 Energy.
    
    
• Static Charge
• As an Energy-generation tool, Static Charge has fallen behind other similar skills.
  
  • Increased energy gain by 7% at all levels
    
    
• Plasma Bolt
• Both the stat scaling and the early-level damage on Plasma Bolt were a bit too high, this should bring it more in line with other tier 1 spells.
  
  • Base damage decreased by 1 at all levels
  • Stat scaling decreased from 3 to 3.5
    
    
• Critical Strikes
• This change is intended to further mitigate the impact that critical strikes can have in certain situations.
  
  • Minimum damage increase changed from 4-9 to 3-6 (depending on level)
    
    
• Blood Mage
• This change is simply to put the Blood Mage multi-target skill in the same place as the other classes.
  
  • Position of Overload and Plasma Rain swapped in skill tree

BUGS FIXED:

• Fixed an issue preventing Davarril from being challenged.
• Fixed missing formatting in Varium shop descriptions
• Error messages added when clicking "Send Mail" with no buddy selected
• Failed mail recipients are now automatically removed from the send list
