	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

	March 03, 2023 EpicDuel Anniversary Login for epic rewards as EpicDuel celebrates 14 years since its initial Alpha Launch! Epic Varium Bonus If you have an EpicDuel character that has been active since January 1, 2020, you will receive 1400 free Varium on that character! Not many online games can boast that achievement, and we wanted to commemorate that milestone with an unprecedented gift to help everyone power up! Our humble little Sci-fi PvP MMORPG never would have remained live and dueling this long without you and your support! Duel on! Spring Varium Sale Today, EpicDuel began its Spring sale, which is expected to run until Tuesday, April 4th. We are increasing the included Varium with the Darkeater Gear Package from 10,000 to 15,000 and increasing the Varium-only package value from 18,000 to 20,000! Those who purchased either of these packages 24 hours before the sale went live received the difference in Varium earlier today. Anniversary Gear Visit Nightwraith for new rare Anniversary weapons! Fourteen Year Alpha Sword P Fourteen Year Alpha Sword E Fourteen Year Alpha Annihilator P Fourteen Year Alpha Annihilator E Legacy Rewards Starting this week, we will be equipping new legacy rare gear to players from different development phases who meet certain criteria.

If the core has not been used in the battle yet, using the normal aux attack will properly put the core on a 3 turn cooldown, instead of 2. Dualism: If the core has not been used in the battle yet, using the normal gun attack will correctly put the core on a 2 turn cooldown, instead of 3. Azrael’s Chimera CC: Tail CC fixed.

	February 24, 2023 Flesh Demigod Returns The Flesh Demigod Gear has returned to Azrael! Jump to his haunting lair to browse his loot and complete your collection of Seasonal gear and potent cores! Fourteen Year Alpha A new achievement representing EpicDuel's 14th anniversary is available from the Ultra-Rare section of the Achievement shop. There is also a limited wall home item available to mount the achievement within your home(s). More anniversary gear will be available next week, including new gear celebrating EpicDuel's earlier development phases! Anniversary Bonus For next week's update, as a reward for loyal EpicDuel players, we will be rewarding all characters who have been active since 2020 1,400 Varium! This will be a great opportunity to revisit the game if you've been away for awhile or just want to try the game for the first time with a nice boost of currency! Balance Changes Chained Blood: 3 turns → 4 turns; buffs highest stat by 50%. Exsanguinating Shield: Reusable; 5 turn cooldown. Chronopact: Increases Strength by 100% → flat 100 Strength point increase; grants 100% initial Rage gain; 15% damage reduction. Fixes / Changes The following achievements have moved from the Ultra-Rare category into the Events category: Daily Gift Champion Legend Supreme Legend Additionally, war-themed General and Ultra-Rare achievements have been moved into the War category: World Domination Artillery Master Warlord (most daily war kills) Flag Captured Token Contributor Overlord Operative Order The Epic Supporter 2022 achievement has been removed from the 10,000 AP Varium packages. In-Progress So far over 150 screens have been adjusted for the upcoming resolution update! Progress is rapid, but there is still much to do. In addition to modernizing the aspect ratio and appearance of the game, this massive update will add much needed-breathing room for the many crowded and complex interfaces. The last time something like this was done, EpicDuel had only recently joined the AE family (2009-2010-ish) so it's a change that was long overdue! Tags: Nightwraith

	February 17, 2023 Azrael Ongoing Azrael's Scorn is here! So far 14 diligent duelists have achieved level 50 and beyond! If you're far from that benchmark, you have plenty of time to earn EXP and claim the numerous rewards! This update, we're focusing on balance changes, QoL, and rating point increases while we prepare for larger updates later. Balance Changes We've made the following balance changes to tweak the current duel dynamics, with Tech Mages and Mercenaries receiving substantial buffs to improve their performance. Mercenary Hybrid Armor: 10% highest stat buff → 20%. Double Strike: Increased base values by 8 per level. Blood Mage Fire Scythe: 110% damage → 105%. Terrify: 20% Defense / Resistance reduction → 15%. Plasma Cannon: 25% damage to energy → 20%. Bounty Hunter Cheapshot: Increased energy cost by 20; 20% heal reduction → 15%. Venom Strike: Increased energy cost by 20. Tech Mage Malfunction: Updated values to 10, 13, 16, 19, 21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28; lowered energy cost by 20. Concentration: Increased energy conversion by 5% per level. Achievement Boosts As a precursor to EpicDuel's 14th Anniversary, we're boosting the rating points of the following phase-based achievements! Alpha Tester: 7000 increased to 8000 Founder: 7500 increased to 8500 Beta Tester: 5500 increased to 6500 Elite: 7500 increased to 8500 Gamma Tester: 4500 increased to 5500 Delta Knight: 3500 increased to 4500 Omega Overlord: 2000 increased to 3000 Omega Endures: 1000 increased to 2000 Golden Omega Ticket: 2000 increased to 3000 *"Omega Founder" was listed as being changed but this achievement was a placeholder and never actually offered in-game. Inventory Cleanup The following gear is now able to be sold to free up inventory space. Please be careful to not accidentally sell any of these items as they are rare. Notable exceptions are the cores included in these packages and passes which are still unsellable as they do not take up inventory space. Techstalker promotional gear Sanguine Showcase Battlepass gear Frost Revenant Battlepass gear Power Weekend Since this is a relatively light update, we've activated Power Weekend until Monday evening! Bug Fix We fixed a bug that was causing Frost Slayer to display the graphics for one of the new Battlepass weapons. Ongoing Development Our main ongoing task is expanding, revamping, and optimization of all of EpicDuel's world screens and UI for a new resolution. We're making good progress, and we thank you for your patience as we complete and implement this task which should make EpicDuel more visually appealing and easier to port to other platforms in the future.

	February 11, 2023 Azrael's Scorn Battlepass Now LIVE! Azrael's Scorn Battlepass is LIVE! Login now to collect the latest collection of Azrael-themed weapons, armors, vehicles, morphs, bots, cores, and more crafted with care by Bido and Acatriel! This latest Battlepass is scheduled to last from today to March 19th! This new season introduces some changes to ease the rate of progression through the Battlepass' prize levels: 10 daily and weekly challenges, up from 7. Slightly increased BXP earned from many PvP challenges. To prevent PvP overload, slightly increased chance of NPC challenges. Good luck and happy dueling to reach level 60 of EpicDuel's latest Battlepass season! Golden Omega Ticket For consistency, we've awarded a Golden Omega Ticket achievement to all qualifying players. Since the original ticket was a sellable item, we can't track strictly by the item. We've had to broaden the criteria to include anyone who purchased a 10,000 AP package between 12/20/2012 and 2/5/2013. These criteria may include characters attached to accounts that made the purchase, but wouldn't normally qualify for the ticket since Varium purchases are character based. In this case, it was the only option to award the achievement based on the data available. Achievement Expansion To declutter the achievement interface a bit, we added a new category of Achievements: Events. This will include limited-time events such as Battlepasses, Tournaments, and Gifting. While you're browsing the new Achievement interface, you might want to note that the Big Game LVII achievement is available from the Seasonal section! In Progress Since the Battlepass is now live, we are moving full speed ahead on converting ED's interface and myriad backgrounds to the new expanded resolution! Going Soon! This Tuesday we will reset all seasonal rares to their normal restock times. Additionally, we will be removing the Bido, Dage, and Nulgath drops from the PvP and NPC drop pools. Tags: Nightwraith

	January 20, 2023 Balance and Battleplan Balance and bug fixes are on the menu for today's update, but a much more savory, sumptuous feast awaits in the new year! Check out the brief list of upcoming features EpicDuel is preparing in the game dev kitchen for a festive and flavorful 2023! Balance We've been hitting balance hard these last few months, and the results have generally been positive in terms of build diversity and class performance. It can be frustrating to experience so many changes so quickly, but we thank you for your patience as we finally break through some of the stagnant balance trends of 2022. Tactical Mercenary Barbed Grenade: Lowered Strength requirement by 8. Toxic Grenade: Improves every 2 Support → 1.5; requires 16 Strength, +3 per level (43 max). Force Field: Added Support scaling; improves 1 point every 10 Support. Blood Mage Blood Shield: Add supp scaling; improves 1 point every 8 supp. Cyber Hunter Plasma Grenade: 25% lifesteal → 20%. Bounty Hunter Cheapshot - 25% heal reduction → 20%; new NPC version without a passive swapped on all NPCs with Cheap Shot. Multi-Shot: Improves every 0.32 Dexterity → 0.3; base values 205, +25 per level (430 max); 3 turn cooldown → 2; gain 15% damage to energy (only applies to 1 target). Reflex Boost: Improves every 2.5 Support → 3.5 Dexterity; converts 15% damage received to energy. Stun Grenade: Improves with Dexterity → Support; increased energy cost by 60 (255 max); requires 24 Dexterity +2 per level (42 max). Static Grenade: Improves every 0.6 Support → 0.8; buffed base values by 10. Bug Fixes and Changes Darkeater Promotional Package: The cores Darkeater's Overcharge and Darkeater's Defiance were flipped in their database definitions which was causing Overcharge to switch to Defiance when replaced on an armor. It was also causing Overcharge to freeze battle when it was attempted to be used. Armor cores should be correct on future purchases, and existing armors after the change should have the appropriate working core. Battlebot Battlebot E - Correctly does energy damage. Battlebot Barrage P/E: 1 use limit. Double Strike: Added Deflection reduction effect to debuff; different version created for NPCs without a debuff. Necrotek Executioner P/E, Necrotek Scythe P/E: Can be sold.Repaired missing assets from skill icons. 2023 Battleplan The following are a few major updates planned for the near and mid-term of 2023. This list is not all-inclusive, but meant to highlight topics that have not been mentioned before. As game development is unpredictable, these items are subject to change as priorities shift over time. Azrael's Scorn Battlepass With the current Battlepass set to end at the end of the day January 31, we're already looking forward to the next collection: Azrael's Scorn. This Battlepass will be loaded with new weapons and rewards with (hopefully) easier methods for earning EXP. Expect this new Battlepass to launch in February. Optimization This area is probably the least exciting for players, but it's desperately needed. The Flash files the game relies on to function have become bloated and unwieldy after years of accumulated technical debt. The main focus in the near-term will be ongoing improvements to the character timeline, which was creating all sorts of errors and crashes around when the first Battlepass launched. We were able to cut many animations to recover functionality, but there's still work to be done. Fortunately, this in an ongoing process that can be tackled gradually without diverting too much attention from regular release content. Optimization is also essential to allow us to deliver the next feature on this list. EpicDuel Widescreen A massive undertaking, we are in the process of expanding existing maps and interfaces to accommodate a larger game resolution (1280 x 720). In addition to adding more screen real-estate for crowded UI, this change will make the game easier to port to other platforms. It's nowhere near 4K, but the updated aspect ratio will be essential for modernizing EpicDuel. I think 4K Flash assets might be a fire hazard for mortal CPUs anyway. Limited Shop A proposal from Spider, we're developing a new shop in EpicDuel to allow players to acquire promotional gear piecemeal from an in-game shop. This is similar to the Night Market feature in popular online games like Valorant. Every day, a new list of seasonal and promotional gear would appear in the shop, allowing anyone to have a chance to acquire out-of-season gear or shop-exclusive promotional items. Of course, the best value would be to purchase the complete package from the Varium shop, but this option would be beneficial to someone who only wishes to own a single piece of a set like an armor or core, rather than the entire set. This would only impact promotional items released after this feature appears in-game. Chronos' Cataclysm and The Challenger Numerous new bosses and storylines are in development to provide a feast for those who have been craving more PvE content. EpicDuel's Anniversary In a few months EpicDuel will celebrate 14 years of operation! Hopefully, we'll have some epic surprises for those who have been loyal duelists after all this time!

	December 24, 2022 Frost Revenant Showcase Live! Frost Revenant Showcase is Live! After some delays, bug fixing, QoL additions, and final rounds of polish, the Frost Revenant Showcase is finally LIVE! Login today and collect the latest and greatest designs from Acatriel and Bido! There were still more features planned to improve the Battlepass experience, but those sadly had to be cut for this update to launch before the New Year. We hope you enjoy it! New PvP Drops In addition to new Battlepass rewards, we've added new Evolved Frostbane PvP drops courtesy of Deuce! Evolved Frostbane Blades P Evolved Frostbane Blades E Evolved Frostbane Axe P Evolved Frostbane Axe E Evolved Frostbane Staff P Evolved Frostbane Staff E Evolved Frostbane Blaster P Evolved Frostbane Blaster E Evolved Frostbane Bow P Evolved Frostbane Bow E We've also re-added cores to the drop tables. Some limited charge cores that dropped during the update that introduced them were erroneously set to be unlimited. These will be manually set to 30 charges after this update. The core drops should now function normally with one known display bug that they still show "Unlimited" despite being the x30 variants in your inventory. Equipping the cores resolve this issue. New Missions After you've battled enough to collect several of the new PvP drops, you can visit Deuce in the abandoned train station in the Mines to take on his new mission "Frosty Evolution", offering significant rewards culminating in new rare rewards! Holiday Wishes 2022 presented many challenges and triumphs, but we're still here dueling on! Though the lack of Gifting has made this a more low-key month, it's been invaluable for stress reduction and creative recuperation. We have no shortage of interesting ideas and projects to build upon our progress from 2022 to carry EpicDuel into the future. On behalf of the EpicDuel team, we wish you a happy and safe holiday season, and a prosperous 2023! Thank you, and duel on! Tags: Nightwraith

	November 14, 2022 Battlepass Patch Today we made a small update to EpicDuel's Battlepass to fix some issues with certain NPC and boss challenges not counting towards completion of the challenges. This error was due partially to some NPCs that weren't designated as bosses not being counted towards the challenge. Though this error was difficult to isolate, it was fortunately easy to fix, and all NPC challenges should register as intended. As compensation for those who who were unable to complete the bugged challenges, we awarded 10,500 Battlepass XP to all players with more than 0 progress this season. Hopefully that's the last of the issues for now, and you can continue to enjoy the current season uninterrupted! Tags: Nightwraith
