EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

Behind the scenes information about EpicDuel's development and releases, a real-time PVP MMO that you can play online in your web browser.

	March 31, 2023 Botanical Knight Battlepass Preview The Botanical Knight Battlepass is on schedule to be released next week with new cores, styles, weapons, armors, and more! The expected release date is Friday April 7 as soon as it's ready. The release has been postponed until next week to allow enough time for thorough development and testing. PvP Queue Time To encourage faster matchmaking, the queue times for PvP matches have been reduced, especially in 2v2. This means that if a human match is not found, an AI opponent will be chosen faster. While priority is given to human matches, getting into battles to get rewards feels better than waiting at a loading screen. The level range of AI matches has also been increased from 36 to 38. Drop Rate Update Since the 2023 Dage drops are dropping less frequently than intended, we've updated the the drop weights to give preference to the new items while increasing the overall drop rate. In anticipation of April Fool's Day, we've added the following items back into the drop pools: Weapon Drops Fw0rsht B4n3 FluF B4n3 Inf3rn0l Sl4y4h Impurrnal Slayer Dorge's Decimalat0r Borge's D3c1m4T0R 4zr33l Bj0rn Azreal Bean Home Items ChickenCalf Right ChickenCalf Left Armored ChickenCalf Right Armored ChickenCalf Left Chibi Ox Right Chibi Ox Left DF ChickenCow Right DF ChickenCow Left ChickenCow Right ChickenCow Left ChickenCow 2 Right ChickenCow 2 Left RoosterBull Right RoosterBull Left Spirit RoosterBull Right Spirit RoosterBull Left Sriracha RoosterBull Right Sriracha RoosterBull Left Tags: Nightwraith

	March 10, 2023 EpicDuel Anniversary Beta Gamma Rewards EpicDuel is continuing it's anniversary celebration with new rewards for Beta and Gamma supporters!* *Rewards only available for those who meet criteria specified below. Beta Rewards With this update, our Beta Supporters who owned the original Beta Brutalizer set will receive new and improved 2023 Beta Weapons! Beta Cleaver 2023 P Beta Cleaver 2023 E Beta Brutalizer 2023 P Beta Brutalizer 2023 E As with the Alpha weapons last week, these new weapons will be added to inventories as additional items and will not overwrite the existing legacy gear. Gamma Rewards Gamma supporters who already own the Gamma Bot will receive the new Electro Gamma Bot, which is a damage-swapped counterpart to the coveted Gamma Bot! Returning Drops Because we didn't formally announce the Evolved Frostbane PvP weapon drops a few weeks ago, we're re-adding them to drop pool to allow those still wrapping up the related missions a chance to complete them. These drops will leave after a week to become seasonal drops. Additionally, to celebrate Dage the Evil's birthday, we're restoring Dage's Legion item drops. These returning drops will be reinforced soon with new items next week! When the other PvP drops were removed, the intention was to revert the drop rates back to the pre-holiday rates. With this update the overall drop rate has been reduced, but still remains higher than it was before the holiday change. Next Week: Dage's Birthday Items Prepare for new weapons, home items, and maybe even a mission or two as we bring Dage the Evil's devious designs to EpicDuel! Tags: Nightwraith
