 | June 05, 2025 A Favorable Update
EpicDuel is LIVE with an early release of performance improvements, new features, and serious bug fixes!
Favorite Items
Tag your favorite items as Favorites from your inventory interface. Favorite items take top priority in item sorting, except in the Merchant interface (selling) in which they're last. You cannot sell Favorite items. Favoriting is distinct from Locking in that a Favorite item can be locked. Favoriting and unFavoriting has no impact on the Locked status. This means you can also Favorite unsellable items! We are currently planning more robust sorting and filtering options (i.e. Rarity, Date, etc...) for future updates!
Performance Improvements
Everyone hates waiting around while the computer is "thinking" so I took some time to investigate some EpicDuel features with excessive load times to see if there was any room for improvements. Sure enough, there was!
- Reduced load times and improved responsiveness on Achievements interface.
- It's like the difference between HDDs and SSDs.
- Reduced load times and improved responsiveness on Missions interface.
- Because of the new caching changes, sometimes mission data may not be up to date, especially if you're online during the daily reset. The Refresh Mission Data button acts as a failsafe.
War Shop
The War Shop is still under construction as we're working on populating the shop and refining the War Token currency. For now, all current war prizes have been tagged as War Rares to differentiate them in your inventory.
Bug Fixes/Changes
- Trying to remove locked Basic items results in a kick
- Public chat and PMs not working from a Faction HQ
- Skull Cracker and Skull Smasher deal 125% damage instead of 120%
- Chairman's Fury can give the user Rage beyond the 100% limit. This was always possible but unnoticed prior to the Chairman's Fury change. Rage is now globally capped at a player's max threshold.
- Double Strike, Teckstalker Special, Tremor Blast, Telekinesis, and Saevussax Evisceration apply a block/deflection buff on the user instead of only a block/deflection debuff on the target. They now apply only defensively on the target, i.e. ONLY the target's ability to block and deflect incoming attacks are affected, not outgoing attacks.
- Pumpkin Lord's name is misspelled in the room where the NPC is located
TO DO:
- Cores with multiple item disables like Sea King's Curse cannot be used when Armor Annihilator (Blood Hawk) is active
Main TO DO:
- War Shop with War Token functionality.
- Arcade Token multi-spin (use 10 Arcade Tokens at once).
- Home Item overhaul:
- stackable home items
- bulk selling home items
- other UI improvements
- Gifter Prizes
- We're down to the last few prizes, but unfortunately, that's the most frustrating part for those who just happen to be at the end of the list. It stinks waiting for 6+ months for something, but unfortunately, we can only work on so many items at once, and no matter how long or short the list is, there is always someone in the unfortunate position of being last. However, the only way to the end is through, and we remain fully committed to completing these prizes to the very best of our abilities. Thank you for your continued patience and know that we will get to your prizes as soon as we can!
