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.

	May 13, 2022 Spider's Lab: Spring Edition Team EpicDuel has been hard at work creating content for the new Hunters' Festival Tournament, crafting custom prizes for the last of the Gifting winners, and developing brand new features and improvements to refresh EpicDuel just in time for Summer. Spider worked his magic on a raft of frequently-requested features to vastly improve the EpicDuel experience. Since some of these features are a bit complex, we're allowing a bit of additional time to make sure they're rock-solid. These features should arrive in an update early next week after necessary review and polish. New Features Coming Soon: New Battle option "Brace" to skip a turn for a small buff to block, deflection, and damage reduction. Save username and password on login. Track influence from battle during war cooldown with new achievement. Track daily missions completed with new achievement. View NPC stats in battle. Pause NPC battles. Increased level gap in Simulation mode to ease difficulty for struggling players. Missions can reward XP. Missions can support multiple reward types for the same mission. Bank view shows an item's equipped cores. Shop search can search a weapon's equipped core names. Stacking cores. New and improved animations. More!

At the conclusion of the tournament, please allow some time to update all the winning and participating accounts. It should go without saying but I'll reiterate that this tournament will be moderated and any players suspect of breaking the rules by botting or exploiting the 2v2 link feature to earn quick wins will be investigated and have their score reset to 0 if they are found to have violated the rules. Play safe, play fair, and duel on. Balance Changes Some of last weeks balance changed greatly overtuned Tech Mages. The following changes have been scaled back to their pre-update levels. Tech Mage NanoTech Shield: 10% damage reduction max Battery Backup: 5 turn cool down Plasma Bolt: 15% defenses ignored! Other Changes Over the next few weeks we'll be upgrading many of EpicDuel's oldest and most common animations to a new standard of dynamism and brutality. Some of these haven't been changed in over 10 years and Acatriel was up to the task of revamping then for a new generation of EpicDuelists.

	March 25, 2022 Legion Draconic Arsenal Boosted Rewards For the last several months, Power Hour has been more like a Power...Forever. This artificially inflated Credit rewards, which is great if you need Credits, but make the Power Hour system a bit redundant. As an adjustment, we will be increasing the baseline of rewards while returning Power Hour to what it once was. This should incentivize people to play during Power Hour and make the distinction meaningful again. New PVP Drops We've activated a new batch of PvP rewards to replace the Heartbreaker / Azrael themed weapons and items from prior months.

	March 11, 2022 Azrael Arrives The Angel of Death Azrael awaits those duelists brave enough to face him in 1v1 and 2v1 combat! If you can conquer Azrael and Nightmare Azrael you can claim 2 new achievements! Access his foreboding lair through the Afterlife or directly from the latest news screen. UI Update Spider helped us breathe new life into the Character select screen with a realtime view of your current characters that you can cycle through. This interface is expandable in the future to let us add more options to give a huge quality of life buff to EpicDuel's. Enter the Simulation One initiative I wanted to undertake seriously this year is to make EpicDuel a better place for new faces. We can add all the endgame bosses and gear we want, but if new players keep bouncing off in the early levels, the game will never grow beyond it's current base. It's no secret for longtime veterans of EpicDuel that Delta V can be a very unfriendly place for new citizens. New players often encounter similar problems: They start losing, but keep gaining XP and minimal credits. This forces players into a situation in which they're leveling up, but still can't afford to upgrade their gear. This puts players in a dour cycle where they keep losing without a clear path to a winning build. Sometimes, players may choose a class, play for a bit, realize they don't care for the playstyle of the class, and decide to quit or create a new character because the cost of changing class is too steep. To help ease this steep learning curve, we've included a new Simulation battle mode. In this mode, players can duel NPCs in a randomly selected 1v1, 2v2, or juggernaut mode. This mode offers fewer credits and XP than PvP modes, but it does offer a handful of new drop options: Coupons! Players will now be able to win Coupons for free class change, retrain, or gear upgrade/retrain. Simulation mode has the highest chance to drop these items, but they will be available in all modes at lower rates. Don't think NPCs will be pushovers, though. Spider was able to make the simulation a bit spicier by giving NPCs the ability to buff themselves with shields! Maybe we can make them even smarter in the future. But not too smart. We have enough science fiction to remind us what happens when you give an AI too much power. Balance Changes A balance change has been a long time coming. There are obviously more issues to address, but these were some of the most pressing. Cyber Hunter Neural Scythe: Instead of scaling damage per level, it now ignores defense based on skill level, similar to Fire Scythe Proton Cannon: improves with Technology instead of Support Adaptive Offense: Improves with Support instead of Dexterity Tactical Mercenary Reroute: Replaced with Battery Backup Cores Naval Bombardment (Bot): Removed use limit Minor Hammer Grenade P/E: Duration reduced to two turns Frostbite: Increased cost to 90 from 60 Frost Shards: Increased cost to 120 from 90 Titan's Shroud: 3 turn duration, 25% damage reduction/deflection. Sea King's Corruption: 100% damage. Heal reduction reduced to 35% from 45% for 3 rounds. 2v2 Achievement Since players can now partner up in 2v2, we've updated the end of day rewards to grant the top two 2v2 players the daily team achievement in the event of a tie.

	February 25, 2022 Azrael Preview Fixes First Spider was back at work in the Exile lab helping us fix some longstanding, super-annoying bugs. Color Blast's effect Egg Rain now applies on all actions that involve a Melee Strike. This was how the skill was originally designed to function but lacked the development time to fully realize. This change should give the skill a huge upgrade. Fixed multi-attacks not respecting damage reduction rules. Fixed ally linking trying to join juggernaut rooms. PvP Drop Upgrade Home item drops are now available for all battle modes! New Achievement The Thirteen Year Alpha achievement is now available at the achievement shop! Grab the badge to celebrate 13 years of EpicDuel! Coming Soon Boss Battles: Hot off his amazing Flesh Demigod collection, Acatriel has been hard at work on Azrael and Acatriel Bosses for your dueling pleasure! Spring Sale: Starting midday on Monday February 28th, we will be adding 6,000 bonus Varium to the 10,000 AP Varium-only pack, providing you with a total of 18,000 Varium. Those who purchase the package earlier in the day will receive the same deal. The Flesh Demigod item package will not receive the bonus. Balance Revamp: It's been awhile since we updated the skill / core balance. Look for some community-suggested changes in next week's update! New Player Quality of Life: One area that will be very important to focus on is the experience for new players. EpicDuel can be a very intimidating game for new and returning duelists and we're brainstorming some potential solutions to help ease players into the hostile, complex world of Delta V. Many of these features, such as robust NPC AI and improved character select UI will benefit players old and new. This is an ongoing project spread out over the next few weeks and probably one of the most important areas of focus if EpicDuel is going to have an amazing 2022 and onward. Tags: Nightwraith

	February 21, 2022 EpicDuel 1855 Hotfix EpicDuel has been updated with a hotfix addressing some bugs and implementing new security measures. Fixes and Changes Juggernaut exploit patch.

Exsanguinating Spears: 100% damage. Gain 30% lifesteal against target for 2 turns. Poison Barbs: Damage based on Auxiliar damage instead of Primary. Minor Chairman’s Fury: Steals 35% Rage 50% like the regular version.

	February 18, 2022 Flesh Demigod Arrives Flesh Demigod Gear Today's update introduces a new promotional pack with an unprecedented amount of gear. Acatriel worked hard to help pack so much content into one promo, and we hope you'll treasure this arsenal for the countless duels ahead. Auxiliary: Flesh Demigod Flamethrower P (Suggested by Machaon) Flesh Demigod Flamethrower E (Suggested by Machaon) Flesh Demigod Cannon P Flesh Demigod Cannon E Sidearms: Flesh Demigod Blaster P Flesh Demigod Blaster E Mutating: Flesh Demigod Destroyer P Flesh Demigod Destroyer E Swords: Flesh Demigod Reaper P Flesh Demigod Reaper E Flesh Demigod Excalibur P (Suggested by Machaon) Flesh Demigod Excalibur E (Suggested by Machaon) Flesh Demigod Bane P Flesh Demigod Bane E Flesh Demigod Broken Bane P Flesh Demigod Broken Bane E Armors: Flesh Demigod Armor Flesh Demigod Armor CC Flesh Demigod Prototype Flesh Demigod Prototype CC Flesh Demigod Obliterator Flesh Demigod Obliterator CC Flesh Demigod Eradicator (Click heart to animate) Flesh Demigod Eradicator CC (Click heart to animate) Bots: Flesh Demigod Avatar P: Special: Physical beam equal to the percent of Rage you currently have. 30% lifesteal.

Convergent Exsanguination: Lower target's Rage gain by 85% for 5 turns. Purchasing the package also comes with the rare Flesh Demigod's Brand Achievement! Storefront Oversight The 5,000 Varium bonus on the Titan Dread package was supposed to leave the storefront earlier in February and be set to the usually 10,000 Varium total, but the old graphic displaying 15,000 Varium was still up for quite some time. To remedy this discrepancy we will be awarding the additional 5,000 Varium to anyone who purchased Varium during this time between the update the change went live on February 4th and today's update.
