Progress Report
It's been a minute since last checking on the progress of our mid-term goals so let's dive in!
Finder Overhaul:
With this week's minor changes to the Item Finder, we've opened up the possibility of evolving it into a better central hub for information on all of EpicDuel's available items. It's no surprise to veteran EpicDuelists that the Item Finder is plagued by bad data: items that should be hidden, placeholders items, and miscategorized items. It's long overdue for a proper audit.
Also, you'd be surprised how many people login to EpicDuel and have no idea what to buy or where to find it. The Wiki is helpful, but it takes time to keep the thousands of item entries up to date. Why not have that information available in-game immediately? This would be particularly useful when searching for cores and robots, which can have a major impact on combat performance.
Battle Mode War Separation:
This is admittedly taking longer than anticipated. It involves not only splitting the drop type into 3 types for super and basic war drops and also splitting up the tracking and leaderboard functionality. Any one of these tasks would be challenging, but doable, but altogether they combine to form a major task with numerous dependencies. Timing is also important, as we don't want to introduce this change into a war that is already in-progress. TLDR: we're working on it, but it's more difficult than anticipated.
Gifting:
Gifting items are still in progress. Every week we make at least some progress, but it often seems like the longer we work on the rewards, the further we get from finishing them. Just know if you haven't received your item yet: we haven't forgotten you, and we appreciate your patience.
One in a Million Restored
I didn't want to announce anything until I was sure it was working, but the One-in-a-Million achievement is re-enabled, and the first new recipient is Sr.Renato, earned in a Juggernaut match vs. 2 Ebil Hazards! This achievement will continue to be awarded for every millionth battle. It's not retroactive since we didn't have the tracking necessary to determine the battle numbers until recently.
Power Weekend
Since this is a long weekend for many, we're activating Power Weekend until the end of Monday May 25th! Tags: Nightwraith |
