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

	August 12, 2022 Hellfire Havoc Begins! The Hellfire Havoc Tournament is about to begin! At 6:00 PM (EST) the tournament will activate and the duels will begin! This tournament will run until Monday August 15 at 12:00 PM (EST). Winning achievement and prizes will be awarded shortly after the tournament concludes. Good luck to all participants, and duel on! Changes / Fixes Acatriel and Azrael Boss fight music can now be muted using the in-game Settings. Acatriel's boss music added to the Level 40 version of the NPC. Music disabled in Azrael's layer as it was conflicting with the boss music track. New Achievement: Nightmare Acatriel Master awarded to those who defeated Nightmare Acatriel before yesterday's nerf.

	August 11, 2022 Pre Tournament Update The Hellfire Havoc Tournament has nearly begun but we still have at least one more update before the battles begin! New Styles! In preparation for the newest tournament, we're adding 18 new Darkeater and Hellfire Havoc-themed credit and Varium styles to choose from in the style change shop. Tournament Points Changes: After some more thought we determined that the Juggernaut point value needed to be adjusted again to be more in balance vs. the 1v1 and 2v2 point values. Juggernaut: 3 points instead of 5. Core Changes: Additional changes have been made to certain cores that were allowing nearly infinite heal loops to artificially extend duels. Tranquility: Reduced max heal from 650 to 525, 4 turn cooldown, 100 Energy cost. Sea King's Spirit: 4 turn cooldown. Bug Fixes: Nightmare Acatriel: Taunt skills cannot be used when out of energy or disabled the by the Pyro Fly special. Tags: Nightwraith

Hellfire Havoc Begins! A new tournament is nearly upon us! Visit the Slayer in the Barrens to purchase a Hellfire Havoc Ticket to guarantee participation in Delta V's latest test of might and endurance! For this latest tournament we're trying something a bit different. The cost of entry will be the lowest yet, but the prize pool will also be smaller. The tournament will also have a shorter duration, lasting from Friday August 12 at 6:00 PM (EST) to Monday August 15 at noon (EST). As usual, at the tournament's conclusion, the server will restart briefly to award some prizes manually. As of Monday August 8, the scoring per victory will be as follows: 1v1: 10 points 2v2: 20 points Juggernaut: 5 points For a complete list of prizes, read on: ALL participants will receive the following items at the end of the tournament: Hellfire Havoc Scimitar P Hellfire Havoc Scimitar E Hellfire Havoc Lance P Hellfire Havoc Lance E BRONZE Those who finish the tournament with the Bronze tier achievement will receive: Hellfire Havoc Armor Hellfire Havoc Armor CC Hellfire Havoc Sword P Hellfire Havoc Sword E Bronze tier finalists will also receive the participation rewards. SILVER Those who finish the tournament with the Silver tier achievement will receive: Hellfire Havoc Heater P Hellfire Havoc Heater E Hellfire Havoc Harbinger P Hellfire Havoc Harbinger E Silver tier finalists will also receive the rewards from lower tiers.

Upcoming Tournaments Shortly after Hellfire Havoc concludes, we will be launching a new tournament, Shoggoth's Showdown, featuring new achievements and prizes with a similar duration. We'll follow that up with Typhoon Terror to conclude this tournament trilogy. This is a bit of an experiment to see if shorter more frequent tournaments can be more successful than longer tournaments spaced months apart. We hope you enjoy them! In the meantime, gear up and duel on! Tags: Nightwraith

New Tournament: Later next month we will be hosting a new tournament: Hellfire Havoc. This tournament will feature fiery infernal gear the likes you have not seen before. To allow more people to participate in and have a chance to win the top prizes, we're considering splitting the tournament into 2: a 1v1 tournament and a 2v2/Juggernaut tournament. Rather than a week, these would run over a weekend to help maximize participation and prevent battle fatigue. See Ya Seasonals: Earlier this month we brough back all the seasonal items. Soon, they will be leaving again until they are re-added in later this year. Tags: Nightwraith

What would you like to order from the new chef NPC? Acatriel's Realm Very soon you will also meet the powerful addition to EpicDuel's art team in his very own realm! Will you be able to defeat him in combat in a friendly or not-so-friendly duel? Tags: Nightwraith

	May 27, 2022 The Hunters' Festival Ends Today we end the latest EpicDuel Tournament, The Hunters' Festival, and honor the champions with a great bounty of prizes, including rare armors, weapons, and cores! Congratulations to all 241 players who participated and enjoy your hard-fought loot! Special thanks go out to Acatriel and Bido who helped craft such an enormous pool of amazing prizes! Attached to these new prizes are new cores. Because we didn't want to offer overpowered cores that people who did not participate in the tournament would never be able to earn, some of these cores are only aesthetically different from existing cores. Apocryphal Demigod's Wrath: At low HP, morph into a beast and deal 110% damage with 50% lifesteal. Apocryphal Demigod's Roar: Unleash a terrifying roar dealing 85% damage, lowering Rage by 50%. Apocryphal Champion's Wrath: At low health, mutate into a beast and deal 110% damage with 50% lifesteal. Apocryphal Champion's Roar: Unleash a terrifying roar dealing 85% damage, lowering Rage by 50%. Hunters' Retribution: Apply a curse, use auxiliary to detonate, adding 10% damage per turn the target was hit. Hunters' Eradication: Remove target's armor (1 turn), sidearm (2 turns), and auxiliary (3 turns). Hunters' Evocation: Summon void tentacles to snare prey, immobilizing them. Hunters' Judgement: Final judgement, dealing primary damage plus 12% of target's max Health (Max 500). Apocryphal Demigod Rift: Open a bloody rift, dealing Sidearm dmg plus 10% of target's max Health (Max 400). Apocryphal Champion Rift Open a bloody rift, dealing Sidearm dmg plus 10% of target's max Health (Max 400). This tournament was also a significant learning experience. There are aspects of tournaments that will likely change in the future. For one, a more focused tournament, limited to a single battle mode over a shorter duration would be easier to moderate and result in less player fatigue. Another feature we have been considering to increase the excitement of tournaments in the future is a Spectator mode. Still in the planning phases, allowing players to watch any active battle would provide lots of entertainment for players who don't have time to grind winds for most of the day but still wish to cheer on their friends! There is still a wealth of possibilities on the horizon to make tournaments an amazingly rewarding experience for all! New Hairstyles: In addition to a wealth of new combat items, this update introduces 8 new Hunter-inspired styles available now from the style-change shop! Tags: Nightwraith
