EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

February 22, 2013

NEW CHANGES/FEATURES:

• The Golden Yeti Tournament is now live!
• New Limited Quantity swords available on the Alydroid in Frysteland
  
  • Azrael's Reaper (Physical)
  • Azrael's Spirit (Energy)
  • Both include the Mark of Azrael core (+5% Crit Chance)
• A huge number of names on old characters have been opened for use, if there's a name you've wanted, check and see if it's now available!
• Rusted Assault Bot
  • Now the Assault Bot P (energy version now Assault Bot E)
  • Equipped to Overlord Guard
  • Damage is now equivalent to Assault Bot E
• Players can now earn up to 7 Blue Stars
• Dropped initial language file load by ~25%

BALANCE CHANGES:

• Each point of damage now requires 4.5 point of Strength, up from 4
• Defense and Resistance now scale at the same rate (previously you would get more Resistance per Technology than Defense per Dexterity)
• Smoke Screen requirement changed from 14-41 to 15-33
• Stun Grenade energy cost lowered by 3
• Hybrid Armor now requires Support instead of Dexterity
• First Strike overhaul:
  • Old formula overly confusing and scaled poorly
  • New formula = From a base of 50%, gain +1.5% chance to go first for each point of Support you have over your opponent, and +5% for each level under your opponent.
  • Example: Level 21 with 28 Supp VS Level 20 with 30 Supp. Level 20 player gains 5% for being one level lower, and 3% for having 2 more Support, for a 58% chance to go first.

BUGS FIXED:

• Infernal Android special cooldown was incorrectly set to 3 turns (should have been 4)
• Assimilation could grant more energy than intended if the target was nearly out of energy
• Reistance buffs were not stacking correctly (Ex: Blood Shield and Energy Shield)
• Sellback values were always rounding down, instead of to the nearest integer
• Concussion Shot and Pyro Fly could disable a skill the target did not own
• Armor stats were not properly being used in certain battle calculations
• Attacks with multiple hits could show the wrong damage if the attack did the minimum possible damage
• Certain gear was not showing up properly on Character Pages
