	March 27, 2020 Dage 2020 Finale Dage's inventory has been updated for the last time this season and we saved the best for last. Grab the limited Living Sin or Undead Sin with all their variants while they last! Also, we're pleased to reward our EpicDuel YouTubers with new rare achievements! Youtube Achievements We have achievements to reward artsts and Wiki contributors, but nothing for the hard-working EpicDuel videographers. To remedy that, we've added several new achievements to reward players who have created EpicDuel video content for YouTube. General Artix Entertainment video content is appreciated, but these achievements will only apply to EpicDuel videos. Epic Videographer (publish at least one EpicDuel video with over 200 views) This achievement can evolve with multiple videos over the 200 view count. Epic Viral Videographer (publish one EpicDuel video with over 10,000 views) Please note that because we don't have a way to link YouTube accounts to EpicDuel accounts, these achievements will be manually awarded. We love to see new EpicDuel videos, but older videos will still count for the achievements. Also, videos deemed offensive or inappropriate will not count towards the achievements. Cheat engine and scam videos obviously won't count and will be reported. If you have some old videos you're particularly proud of or intend to create some new content, share them in the #EpicDuelYoutube tag on Twitter! New Weapons! Dage's inventory has been updated with some gloriously grotesque new weapons, including the Living Sin, along with CC variants! The new Dage will count towards the Dage Collector 2020 achievement if you don't already have it!

	February 22, 2020 Coming Soon: EpicDuel Tournaments! Today's update with introduce some awesome new legendary items and legendary variants, but the real meat is the announcement of the first exciting new feature of 2020: Tournaments! Tournaments? Tournaments! Titan and I have teamed up once again to develop a new feature for EpicDuel: Tournaments! Tournaments, as a feature, aren't completely new to EpicDuel. Some of you who have been with EpicDuel since...around 2012-2013 may remember the Golden Yeti Tournament, in which players who preordered the Omega Packages got a ticket to participate in a tournament. Over a period of 2 weeks, ticket owners accumulated points for 1v1, 2v2, and Juggernaut victories, and the competitors with the most points would earn achievements and prizes based on placement. In this case, the top 100 players would earn an achievement to indicate their placement and the coveted Golden Yeti bot, one of the rarest items in game. This system was cool and exciting, but unfortunately, it wasn't built in a way that would allow expansion or re purposing for future events and was removed entirely from the engine some time after the event concluded. The new tournament system is being built fresh, with some inspiration from the original event. With the new system, tournaments can be scheduled in advance with a set time. Each placement tier (Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze) can receive different prizes. Tournament tickets can be included with promotional packages acquired in-game or both. When the time period to enlist in the tournament draws closer, it will be announced to offer a chance to participate to as many people as possible. The feature is still under construction, but it's coming together very quickly. Hopefully, we'll see some old characters from the old phases dusted off to attempt to climb to the top of the boards once again! New Legendary Items Some beautiful new Legendary weapons have been added to the shops on Titan's Peak in Frysteland! They'll definitely make amazing additions to any collection! Legendary Arsenal Fleshreaver P Fleshreaver E Exquisite Legendary Arsenal Angelic Radiance P Angelic Radiance E Angelic Oblivion P Angelic Oblivion E Epic Legendary Arsenal Dage's Capeless Paragon Dage's Capeless Paragon CC Dage's Capeless Gld Paragon Dage's Capeless Plat Paragon Platinum Angelic Radiance P Platinum Angelic Radiance E Platinum Angelic Oblivion P Platinum Angelic Oblivion E Diamond Dage's Desolation P Diamond Dage's Desolation E War Balance The total war score is still overcompensating and setting a longer war duration that would be exciting. This total score was dropped on both sides by 600,000 to put the war in a more reasonable range. Slightly increase War Drop base rate to 39% from 35%. Slightly reduced Juggernaut War Drop multiplier to incentivize other battle types. Tags: Titan
