EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

September 02, 2025

A few days ago, we introduced a new battle end state: Battle Draw. This state applies if the battle ends before the first turn is completed -- most commonly when the opponent instantly disconnects, either unintentionally or intentionally. Currently, in a Battle Draw, the remaining player(s) earns no Credits, Experience, or drops and the battle record is unaffected. This was deemed too punative so we have revised Battle Draws to grant a win as well as reward a small set amount of Credits and Experience. Battle Draws will still reward no drops and wil not deduct limited cores or boosts.

In summary, Battle Draws:

• Grant a win
• 75 Credits
• 20 Experience
• Do not reward war or PvP drops
• Do not deduct a boost
• Do not deduct a core
• Do not factor Power Hour

We may adjust the rewards further if we see rapid disconnects continue to be abused. We are also investigating excluding Faction wins from Battle Draws, eliminating another incentive to boost wins.
