| May 18, 2023 May the Fourth Forever
Performance improvements, bug fixes, and enough star sabers to stop an imperial army arrive with this latest update! May the Fourth ForeverWell, maybe not forever. We do have many more rare social media prize code drops to last throughout the month of May! Can you collect them all?
Animation OptimizationOptimization is rarely exciting but often a net positive and sometime necessary for sustained development. With so many custom skills and variants for different weapon types, our character timeline ballooned to nearly 10,000 frames. Over time, we've been able to trim this down to about 7,000 frames with this latest update. The biggest change was consolidating the alternative animations for the class-specific weapons when using sidearms and auxiliaries. Now, the weapons will quickly fade out and back in at the end of the animation. This streamlines the animations while drawing focus to the weapons being used. After all, what's the point of upgrading a fancy new sidearm if it's going to be hidden behind your other weapons? Optimization is an ongoing process, but this update was a major push forward in our battle against performance issues and file size!
Bug Fixes / ChangesThere has been a persistent bug impacting AOE cores such as Ultra Obliteration that would cause the client to freeze if used against 2 targets without enough energy. We tried for awhile to resolve this issue, but to keep this issue from remaining in game and freezing battles, a stopgap solution was introduced in the most recent update: All AOE skills have the same energy require when used against 2 targets as 1 target. This will affect cores and regular class skills. In a way, it makes sense to unify the cost for 1 and 2 targets since players do not have a choice weather to target 1 or 2 players with an AOE, it's an automatic increase is energy cost. This may perhaps make AOE skills more viable in 2v2 and Juggernaut battles. Tags: Nightwraith |
| May 06, 2023 Ultra Corsair Now Live
EpicDuel is live with its latest limited-time promotion: Ultra Corsair Gear!
Ultra Corsair PackageThis new 4,000 Artix Point package includes over 20 items! A great value on par with some of the 10,000 AP packages of the past. This limited-time promo includes the following items:
Cores (pre-equipped to the sidearms and auxiliary items in the package)
This package also comes with an exclusive achievement, the Ultra Corsair Crest! *Please note that this package does not include additional Varium.
Ultimate Stat Boost PackThough there are many passive cores available in EpicDuel, it can be difficult to know what to buy and where to buy it when crafting a build. Since stat-boosting cores are great for providing noticeable improvements in damage output, defense, healing, and more, we assembled many of the most common permanent stat cores into one convenient package. This new 10,000 Artix Point package contains over 40 passive stat-boosting cores to cover all the main gear categories. To provide added value, the package also includes 10,000 Varium to give players everything they need to create a highly competitive build.
