	August 28, 2024 Epic Justice This post is a blunt reminder of the new consequences of cheating, plus an important message about the 2023 Gifting perks and account security. Updated Consequences of Cheating Awhile ago, EpicDuel implemented a policy of resetting wins as a punishment for repeat offenders who attempt to cheat to boost their wins. Apparently, that policy was not nearly severe enough because we still saw repeat offenders who continue to cheat even after a reset. To escalate the penalty for multiple infractions of cheating, effective immediately, in addition to having wins reset in the battle mode in which the cheating occurred, there will be 3 additional punishments. The first change is that the wins from the battle mode that was reset will be subtracted from the main win tracking achievement. For example, if the character has 1000 Juggernaut wins reset, 1000 points would be deducted for their achievement. Second, the achievements that track 1v1, 2v2, and Juggernaut wins for each class will be deleted based on which battle mode was reset. For example, if Juggernaut wins were reset for a character, their Juggernaut class achievements would be removed. Third, since Influence is a character stat earned from wins, the character's personal Influence would be reduced based on the proportion of the wins that were reduced. This may seem severe, but that is precisely the intention! Hopefully these additional consequences will give pause to anyone considering cheating in the future. Again, these new punishments are in effect immediately. Gifting Perk Cutoff One of the perks of this past year's Gifting event was awarding prizes to a select group of friends. Generously, or perhaps foolishly, I did not establish a limit on either the number of friends or how long this offer would remain open. I have noticed an uptick in reports about people attempting to scam Gifters by abusing this offer so I feel it is now necessary for a hard deadline. Friday, September 20th will be the final day for awarding Gifting prizes to friends for this past Gifting season. If you don't read or care about Design Notes posts, but still ask about sharing items after the cutoff, your request will be politely denied. Scam Alert As the holidays approach, this is also a good space to remind you all about account safety and protecting yourself from scams. If you don't remember when you last changed your password, now is a great time to do so. Also, make sure you are the sole owner of your account. A common way to lose control of your account is account sharing. Not only is it against the Terms of Service, but it also puts your account at great risk of being stolen and eventually disabled. If you use a public or shared computer to play EpicDuel, always fully close the launcher or browser window the game is being played on, and avoid using the "save login info" feature. Protecting your account can be as simple as following a few rules: DO NOT share your password. DO NOT share your account. DO NOT try to sell accounts or items outside the game. The classic advice still applies: If someone offers you something that seems too good to be true, it probably is! Tags: Nightwraith

	August 23, 2024 Righteous Gemstones Part 2 Extra Achievement Update This latest update features new tiers for some existing achievements, plus a new evolving achievement to complement the new gem achievements added last week. Those who already meet or exceed the new tiers will be updated manually. To update your Archivist achievement, you will simply need to have your gear re-appraised by an NPC that offers this service such as Charfade. Daily Solo Champion: Expanded to Tier 10 Daily Team Champion: Expanded to Tier 10 Juggernaut: Expanded to Tier 10 Daily Prize Champion: Expanded to Tier 10 World Domination: Expanded to Tier 11 Rising Star: Expanded to Tier 10 Archivist: Expanded to Tier 21 Black Diamond: Evolves up to Tier 20. New Legendary Rank Leaderboard By popular request, we have added a new Leaderboard to track All-Time Legendary Ranks. Character Page Changes The Character Pages have been updated to correct an error that was causing some items to not load correctly on the character. This bug mainly affected players with extremely large inventories. This is because the query that loads the items on the character was written back when the inventory cap was much, much smaller than it is today. To help clean up the Character Page and accommodate the added items, Home Items and Missions Completed have been removed from the page. Balance Changes Force Field: Replaced with Energy Shield Critical Heal (Armor): Activates at any HP --> Activates below 25% HP Frost Revenant Retribution P/E: 100% damage --> 85% damage Acorn Annihilator: 35% --> 40% robot damage as MP poison; multi-use --> single-use Jaguar Warrior Arcade Preview Acatriel is cooking up some awesome new art for an upcoming Jaguar Warrior Arcade game that will be available within the next few weeks! Tags: Nightwraith

	August 16, 2024 Righteous Gemstones New Evolving Gemstone Achievements To help players invest their excess Credits accumulated over the years, we've introduced 6 new evolving achievements, each upgradeable to level 20. This amounts to thousands of Rating Points. A fair trade for a few million Credits! Raw Ruby Raw Topaz Raw Sapphire Raw Emerald Raw Amethyst Raw Diamond We may need some extra rating star levels after these are maxed out! NPC-Only Cores With this update we are introducing new NPC-only cores. These cores, while mostly identical to the correspondingly-named cores already in-game, can only be used in NPC-only battle modes. These modes include 1v1 NPC, 1v1 Boss, 2v1 Boss, and Simulation. Unlike their PvP counterparts, these cores are multi-use with 4-turn cooldowns: Exsanguinating Shield (NPC): Available at Azrael Flagellation (NPC): : Available at The Challenger Chained Blood (NPC) Available at The Challenger Feast of Flesh (NPC): Available at Alydroid Titan's Shroud (NPC): Available at Titan Hardened Armor (NPC): Available at Deuce Infernal Surge (NPC): Available at Kraggor Draconic Frost King's Will (NPC): Available at Titan If you struggled against EpicDuel's toughest bosses in the past, these new cores might be just what you need to take them down! Note: These cores will still be disabled in PvP battle modes even if your opponent is an NPC! For example, if you are matched with an NPC in 1v1 automatch mode, the cores will still be disabled. New Bido Core This update also introduces a new core available at Bido! Bido's Bitters: Weak poison (5 HP per turn) that prevents stronger poisoning for 4 turns. This core could be useful for countering heavy poison builds. Note: This core will not block poison attacks from NPCs. Tags: Nightwraith

	August 09, 2024 Bido's Birthday Showcase 2024 Bido's Birthday Gear We've finally adding a long-awaited update to EpicDuel artist Bido's Birthday shop! We know we're later than usual, but better late than never! Pay Bido a visit in his Afterlife perch to browse his latest limited-quantity rares. Bido's Venom Greatsword P Bido's Venom Greatsword E Bido's Venom Blade P Bido's Venom Blade E Bido's Venom Scythe P Bido's Venom Scythe E Bido's Venom Glaives P Bido's Venom Glaives E Bido's Venom Axe P Bido's Venom Axe E Bido's Venom Staff P Bido's Venom Staff E Bido's Venom Dagger P Bido's Venom Dagger E We've also re-added the Bido weapons to the PvP drop pool that are necessary for completing his collection missions. New Achievements This update is also bringing several new NFTeaser Achievements. Remember NFTs? Such a time capsule of 2020-2021, which, to my mind, feels like it was simultaneously 5 months ago and 50 years ago. Anyway, these new themed achievements should provide a quick boost of the big Credit spenders out there. This isn't the last batch of Credit sink achievements so don't spend them all in one place! Titan's NFTeaser Rabblefroth's NFTeaser Charfade's NFTeaser Big Tuna's NFTeaser Cinderella's NFTeaser Acatriel's NFTeaser YOLOScythe's NFTeaser Baelius' NFTeaser Tags: Nightwraith

	August 01, 2024 August Coming Attractions There's no update this week, but we do have a quick rundown of what is currently being worked on this month! Kaiju Slayer Battlepass Preview The Nanotech Nightmare Showcase is barely a week old, but the next Battlepass is already underway. This new showcase developed by Acatriel is inspired by a particularly famous radioactive movie monster. This Battlepass is expected to go live by the end of September or early October, and we plan to add in-game text with an exact release date when the update is locked-in so nobody forgets to claim their prizes. Bido's Birthday Shop AQW and EpicDuel artist Bido is currently working on a new birthday set to bolster his current shop. It's been lonely on his perch in the Afterlife and he'd love some more people to stop by to help him celebrate! New Evolving Achievements In addition to the next Battlepass, we're also working on an assortment of new evolving achievements to allow those with massive Credit surpluses to boost their ratings while adding to their extensive achievement collections. PvE-Only Skills One challenge with balancing skill cores is that a skill that's extremely effective against bosses might also be incredibly overpowered against human opponents. We're currently working on a way for skills to be flagged for PvE-only, meaning they would only be active against bosses and 1v1 NPC challenge battles. The PvE skills would still be disabled in regular PvP modes like 1v1/2v2 automatch and Juggernaut, even if the matched opponent(s) happens to be an NPC. This could theoretically be reversed to make certain skills PvP-only, but that's an addition to consider later when the PvE cores are finally integrated. Tags: Nightwraith

	July 26, 2024 Nanotech Nightmare Battlepass Now Live The Nanotech Nightmare Showcase Battlepass is NOW LIVE! Login now to earn the latest collection of nanotech and casual weapons, armors, vehicles, morphs, bots, and more crafted with care by Acatriel and Mihuri! Good luck and happy dueling to reach level 60 of EpicDuel's latest Battlepass season! So you all know what you're getting into with the new bots available in this season, the skill descriptions are listed below: Nanotech Destruktor P Nanotech Destruktor Assault P Chaingun attack, ignoring 15% defenses. Nanotech Destruktor Onslaught P At critical HP, reduce Def/Res 50% for 1 round; steal 25% Rage. Nanotech Destruktor E Nanotech Destruktor Assault E Energy chaingun attack, ignoring 15% defenses. Nanotech Destruktor Onslaught E At critical HP, reduce Def/Res 50% for 1 round; steal 25% Rage. Character Animation Optimization The optimization of the character animation timeline is still underway so there may still be some jank in certain animations. This means that certain armors in certain poses may not look right. In some cases, it might be better to change the armor rather than the animation, but this will be handled in time. Many animations have been consolidated, cleaned up, and shortened (especially the hit/block animations) to improve the flow of battle. Despite all the work already done, with over 8000 total frames, there's still plenty of room for improvements in the future. Tags: Nightwraith

	July 18, 2024 EpicDuel Progress Report Progress Report The upcoming Battlepass, Nanotech Nightmare, is still in progress.This update features some new armors which will require a few changes to the character animation timeline. These changes are minor, but there are 8,000+ frames in the timeline, so the update is taking more time than expected. Everything else is going smoothly so the update is expected to go live next week! We didn't want you to go too long without any updates so we're implementing a few small changes while you wait! Balance Changes Reactive Armor: 50% —> 25% melee reflection at max; new values: 10%, 12%, 14%, 16%, 18%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25% Force Field: +25 energy cost to all levels Tactical Reload: No longer puts the associated weapon on cooldown War Commander (Gun): +4 Dexterity instead of Strength War Commander (Aux): +4 Support instead of Strength Achievement Updates Olympic Games 4 is now available form the Seasonal section of the achievement shop. Rising Star achievement, awarded for earning the most fame in a day, is now tiered with 5 tiers. Those who qualify for the higher tiers will automatically receive the corresponding achievement.

This new chain will allow players to turn in new Starlight Shards, earned from PvP wins, to claim the new rares: Dawn of Destiny and Starlight of Destiny. New Achievement The Independence Day 6 Achievement has been added to the seasonal section of the achievement shop. Juggernaut Battle Cap To combat the exploitation by botters, as of this update we've implemented a cap on Juggernaut wins. After 300 Juggernaut wins, Juggernaut battles will stop offering credits, experience, war drops, and PvP drops. This was done to remove the incentive to use bots accumulate way more wins than any human could possibly achieve. Tags: Nightwraith

	June 28, 2024 Classy Achievements New Class Win Tracker Achievements New achievements have been added to track wins for each class in each PvP battle mode (1v1, 2v2, and Juggernaut). These achievements are not retroactive so everyone will start at 0 for all Classes and battle modes. They will start tracking as soon as you win any PvP battle mode with any class. Balance Changes Skills: Multi-shot: +1 damage per 0.3 --> 0.34 dex; 85% --> 90% damage against multiple targets Reflex Boost: Scales with dex --> supp Massacre: Removed 50% lifesteal; 30% --> 15% defense ignore Maul: 75 --> 100 base energy cost; 20% --> 15% stun chance Artillery Strike: Requires dex --> tech Barbed Grenade: Add 15% stun chance Assimilation: +15 to all base values; +1 energy per 1.25 --> 1 str Cores: Necrosis: 100% --> 85% damage Botanical Wrath: 85 --> 100 energy cost Salvage: 0 --> 90 energy cost Thorn Assault, Meteor Shower, Plasma Meteor, Shattering Star, Jack-O-Fire: 90 --> 100 energy cost Icy Overkill (Aux): 1-turn warmup Revitalization: 1000 --> 1300 heal; 0 --> 100 energy cost Medusa's Gaze: 70% --> 85% damage Piston Punch: 85% --> 100% damage Captain's Charge: Update description to include lifesteal effect Ninja Reflexes: 20% --> 13% additional block chance Deflection Shield, Ballistic Shield: 20% --> 13% additional deflection chance Robots: Gamma Bot and Variants: 111% --> 109% damage Shadowlord's Severance P/E: 40% --> 35% defense ignore Infernal Overload P/E: 100% --> 95% initial damage; 135% --> 130% max damage Dino Fire P/E and Variants: Removed warmup Necrotek Assault P/E: 15% --> 20% defense ignore Yeti Claw (includes Baby/Omega Yeti Variants): 100% --> 105% damage Other: Brace: Remove additional block/deflection chance BuyBack Boost New items will be added for people who have the following promotional items: Infernal Interdictor E Bionic Battlegear E Owners of these items will receive the corresponding P (physical damage) variants. If you already sold your original promotional weapon, you can find the new items in the BuyBack shop. Botters' Bane Every only game suffers from bots, hackers, cheaters, and jerks of all degrees, but that doesn't mean we can just rest on our hands while exploits are used. Most players play the game legitimately, but some are clearly using sophisticated bots to take advantage of blind spots in our bot flagging system, particularly in Juggernaut mode. I've never understood why someone would put so much effort into not playing a game, but clearly, as revealed by the popularity of generative AI, there's a market for pathetic people who want to reap rewards in exchange for minimal effort. With this update, we've modified the bot flag parameters to throttle rewards for those who accumulate more wins than would be possible for a human player. Some players are hardcore and can play for hours, but no human can play 24/7 without rest. The ultimate reward for botters is an empty game with all human players driven out with numbers going up perpetually to the acclaim of nobody. Maybe that's what they want? Maybe I'm too old-fashioned, but that doesn't seem fun to me. Tags: Nightwraith

User your excess Credits to boost your rating score and show off your stylish new swords! For new-ish players: These shops are only accessible if you have achieved level 40+.

I didn't want to hold onto the content for any longer so I decided it was better to update with the new items than nothing at all for another week! Balance changes are still being considered and will be pushed to live as soon as they are ready. Tags: Nightwraith

	June 14, 2024 Optimization Odyssey Optimization Odyssey This week was a challenging one as a great deal of time was spent on optimizing the file that contains all the skill icons in the game. Every icon is stored in one FLA (the raw file format used by Flash) and compiled at runtime. The problem was that the file had become to large and would take 15 minutes or more to publish if it did at all. This can happen when FLAs become too large. This can sometimes be addressed by splitting the one massive file into several, but in this case, the only way forward was to make the file smaller by merging duplicate assets and removing unused ones. The end result was a file ten megabytes leaner (20% reduction) that could reliable publish! There was still more optimization work to be done, but it is good enough for the time being. This will not be the last time optimization work will be needed as EpicDuel is ancient by game standards -- that long lifespan means plenty of time for redundant assets to accumulate that bloat files and hinder development. The rest of the time this week was spent making dozens of new weapons for release in the Legendary shops. I ended up making progress, but not nearly enough weapons for a substantial update so I'll continue work into next week to make sure all weapons are thoroughly polished and tested. Since there will be no update this week, I've included some previews of content to expect for next week and the weeks to come. Golden Regal Armory For those who have been itching for something use their accumulated Credits on, we'll soon be introducing new weapons with to the Legendary Shops. To make sure the update is substantial, we're also planning to include several balance changes with the next update! New Battlepass Already? The Eldritch Battlepass just launched last week, but Lodrian has been one and a half steps ahead of our schedule by delivering the next Battlepass: Nanotech Nightmare! Here's a small preview of the new gear that will be available with the next showcase! If you just started leveling Eldritch Onslaught, don't worry! This will not release for a few weeks so you'll have plenty of time to complete the current Battlepass. Tags: Nightwraith

	May 24, 2024 War Drop Update and New Battlepass Preview This update covers some miscellaneous categories, mainly focusing on war drop balance with some additional information on the next Battlepass! War Drops Rebalancing Last week we introduced some substantial changes to war drop rates, including increased drop rates for super war drops. One major downside of this change is it tilted the incentive to bot heavily, especially in Juggernaut mode. To address this, the following changes have been made and will be in effect for the next War. All modes now have a flat 60% base chance to receive a war drop without a War Commander core. If you receive a war drop, there is a 20% chance that drop will be a super drop for all modes. War Commander no longer drops super items for any mode. Drop rates are always difficulty to evaluate as sometimes an item drop might "feel" like it's dropping more or less than it should based on a limited data set. Generally, we'd prefer to be more generous than stingy so we're open to reevaluating the percentages when the next War is underway. Cyber Wolf Collection Complete With this update the final Cyber Wolf Collection items have been distributed. I'm sorry this obligation took so long to fulfill, but I wanted to make sure all the items were as high quality as we could make them. Over 175,000 score Cyber Dragon Morph Cyber Dragon Morph CC Over 250,000 score Nightbot 3000 Morph Nightbot 3000 Morph This collection was a collaboration between myself, Tomcat, Acatriel, and Charfade, with a bit of inspiration from Dage thrown in for good measure. I hope you all enjoy the rewards as much as we did crafting them! Balance Changes This small round of balance changes mainly address the new promo cores, but fortunately, they're mostly buffs! Infernal Prism: Description corrected to 3 turns instead of 2. Infernal Blessing: 100 --> 125 HP per tick (including initial use) Infernal Offering: 120 --> 150 energy per tick Infernal Curse: 25% --> 15% effectiveness; reduces defense/resistance as well as base weapon damages Terrify: Removed defense reduction effect. Plasma Cannon: -40 base damage at all levels. Bug Fixes "You already own this item." message now works as intended. Eldritch Onslaught Battlepass The final item on this post is a preview for the upcoming Eldritch Onslaught Battlepass! This will replace the current Azrael-themed Battlepass soon so your time to collect the last few levels of rewards is running out! Tags: Nightwraith

We'll be offering a 10,000 AP and a 4,000 AP version of the package. The 10,000 AP version will include 15,000 Varium and addition spare cores. The 4,000 AP package will be gear-only and not offer Varium or spare cores. It will still include cores pre-equipped to the items. Both packages will award the Infernal Guardian Crest Achievement, but only the 10,000 AP package will reward the Epic Supporter Achievement. Please review the package descriptions carefully in the in-game Varium shop to avoid accidentally purchasing the wrong package. New Infernal Guardian Styles Styles 763-772 have been added to the Style Change shop! Nightmare Azrael's Guardian Slayer Achievement This achievement will be awarded to those who were able to defeat Nightmare Azrael's Guardian in the time since the boss was first introduced! Congratulations on finding a successful strategy for taking down this fearsome foe! This achievement will be awarded manually so please allow some time before you see the achievement appear on your account if you qualify for it. Quality of Life Changes War bar interface now enabled in homes. Super war drop chance increased. War drop capacity increased to 20 from 10. Juggernaut and Sim buttons swapped places. New items available at Vendbots: Anti-1v1 Badge Anti-2v2 Badge Anti-Juggernaut Badge Anti-Sim Badge These items will allow you to disable the buttons for the corresponding battle modes. This solution has an advantage over a Settings toggle because, unlike Settings, your preference will not reset when you clear your cache. To re-enable the battle mode, simply sell the badge. NOTE: It's still possible to enter a Juggernaut match while queuing for 2v2 if you're of a certain level range even if you have the Anti-Juggernaut Badge. The merchant shop interface will now warn you with red text that you already own an item you have highlighted. If the item is not restricted, you will still be able to purchase duplicates.
