EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

December 19, 2025

We're less than 2 weeks into Gifting 2025 and we already have some incredibly strong performances on the leaderboard. Repeat Gifting top-finisher CactusChan is going strong with over 4.6 million gifts given with many other repeat top-finishers crushing the multi-million mark. With so much time left in this year's Gifting, the top 15 positions are still far from set in stone.

The recently-implemented Faction Gifting leaderboard has been interesting to watch as well, showing The Balance Brigade with a commanding 5.5+ million gift score. Dreaming Awake is close behind in 2nd place with Souls Requiem and Royal Legacy duking it out for 3rd. Overall, this was a fascinating addition to this year's Gifting event as it shows the potential power of Gifting as a team effort.

With more major Gifting events planned in the coming days and weeks of Gifting, it's exciting to speculate what the final totals will be for this legendary event!

Bug Fixes

During Gifting, with so many more eyes on the game, we tend to uncover many uncommon bugs created by edge cases that are hard to discover the rest of the year.

• When a body part fails to load due to a network slowdown or a missing asset, the armor falls back the basic style. This allows the player to continue playing and dueling even with unloaded armor parts.
• Hide text field in style change interface when an armor with a custom head is equipped.
• When selling a stackable mission item (i.e. Omega Wolf Shards) or core that becomes stored in multiple stacks, all identical stacks will sell and be removed from the Inventory. Previously, one stack would remain after the sale even though all items were sold for the correct Credit amount in the transaction, resulting in an Admin Kick if the player tried to sell the remaining stack.
• You can now complete missions with a split stack of mission items. For example, if the mission requires 10 Omega Wolf Shards and you have a stack of 5 and another stack of 5, the mission will accept both stacks for mission completion.
• It was possible to accidentally sell your equipped item in a bulk sale if the equipped item matched items in your inventory. This was rare because equipped items tend to have unique configurations, but it will no longer be possible.
• If you retrain with an invalid skill configuration and get kicked, your skill tree will be reset to its class default. This should resolve an issue affecting players with old characters who have obsolete skill configurations.
• Snuggle Panda achievement should now correctly award with Panda Hoodie purchase from Heromart.
