First of all, I hope that this helps Cinderella in some way or another. She has been under alot of pressure from many players (including myself) and I hope this list (which I will update) can give her a good idea of what the players want :)

I started making this list in Beastmo's wonderful thread, and it has grown to 30 items! I thought it should have its own post. What would you like to see most? What do you agree and disagree with on this list? Any other suggestions? Discuss.


1) No enhancements (enhancements have no real point) or lower the price by a significant amount
2) 2v1 Boss Battles with a PERFECTED system that players like
3) Tournaments for rare prizes
4) New arcade prizes (weapons, enhance tickets etc.)
5) Advanced housing system, with a sensor on who can enter, and maybe even a "bouncer" for events and parties (are you on the list?)
6) More robots with specialized powers (other then the ones we already have)
7) Non-Varium weapons and armors to fill in the gaps
8) Less rare gear, and more permanent gear for lower levels
9) Battle Token enhance shops (customize your weapons using Battle Tokens, Add crit/block chance up to 5%, or upgrade old weapons)
10) Retrain revamp (allow players to subtract stats, or enter values to make up for small mistakes)
11) Chat limitations on begging for fame (This would decrease spam, but allow players to still award fame when they felt a player deserved it)
12) Go back to the previous World Domination system (the one where Varium could not determine who won the war for that day)
13) Get rid of the current 2v1 Juggernaut system or change it to be much more of a challenge.
14) Class balance and/or more skills (the more skills, the more variation, the more builds)
15) Get rid of or minimize the effect of agility (Raise the tiers up a few levels, so that the negative effect of agility does not start so early).
16) Class Changes should be less Varium after you have switched once (lower it to around 500) However limit the discounted class change to 1/per month)
17) Once a name is bought, you should be able to go back to it FREE of charge (or for a substantial reduction in Varium)
18) Quests should have a chance to drop Varium bought boosts at a very low percent (Battle boost, EXP boost, NPC reset)
19) Varium package prices should be lowered to reflect the other AE games pricing scales, or more varium added to each package
20) Faction Chat (Everyone in your faction, with the ability to chat LIVE in one chat)
21) Buddy Server Indication (If a friend is on a different server, don't show them offline, but rather list the server they are on like AQW and HS do it.)
22) Survival Mode (How long can you survive?) - Each time you battle a lower level or NPC. However your health and energy do not come back after each battle, making it increasingly harder.
23) Customizable Faction HQ (Add items, booster dispensers, and make everything look the way you want it too)
24) Faction Founder step down, and ability to add cofounder
25) Daily and Weekly win counters for faction
26) Fix bug that makes "failed battles" count against you daily win %
27) Add more physical staffs for mages (the only class with a restraint on their class specific weapon)
28) Make the reputation system worth something in some way or another (make it useful other then for looks and bragging rights)
29) Ability for quests to be redone and quest items to be deleted.
30) Finally better communication between the staff and the players for optimum player satisfaction.


UPDATE 1: Adjusted the fame suggestion (11) - Add a spam filter or something to limit begging
UPDATE 2: Adjusted the 2v1 suggestion (13) - Make it more challenging
UPDATE 3: Adjusted agility suggestion (15) - Raise the tier so negative impact does not start so early
UPDATE 4: Adjusted varium pricing suggestion (19) - Lower price, or ADD more varium (to each package)
UPDATE 5: Adjusted Class change suggestion (16) - One discounted class change per month. Otherwise price remains the same.
UPDATE 6: Adjusted "survival mode" (22) - You do not replenish HP or MP after your fights, making it increasingly harder.

those only 3 I disagree with because I already brought enhancement. Fame alot like including you use it and were all aim for 10k think about its impossible to get 10k without begging. I don't like how you can change your name then get free because you guys could just use it for achieve.

I can understand the first two. However the name change thing, you would get the achievement the first time you bought a name (you still have to buy the name). However once you purchase a name for 1100 varium, you can go back to it whenever you want free of charge. I think this makes sense? Maybe not.

I like all of those ideas except getting rid of enhancements and juggernaut.
Your best idea is losing/changing fame. A have said this many time, but will repeat myself. Harassing people to trade you fame is not how you should get famous, that's just being annoying. I understand that's very hard to get rid of no matter what you do, but if the "Fame for fame" continues, I honestly don't want the feature.

Although many of these are nice, various players have been told through certain conversations from the devs themselves that NO features implimented (i.e. Agility, Fame, etc.) will be removed. They are willing for improvements, but they will not get rid of such things.

Thankyou, for a thread with constructive criticism rather then flaming :).

Heres my thoughts about these ideas

quote:

1) No enhancements I enjoy enhancements, Having more stats does give an advantage
2) 2v1 Boss Battles Yes, This will be a great feature once released
3) Tournaments for rare prizes Yes, This feature is actually one I've been looking forward to for so long completely support
4) New arcade prizes Would be nice to see afew more Items, So I support.
5) Advanced housing system I don't mind the housing system at the moment.
6) More robots with specialized powers We already have those :S?
7) Non-Varium weapons and armors to fill in the gaps Support, But I know it will come soon enough they already do have access to some great weapons. And with Independence day coming up soon, some of the best non-varium weapons will be back
8) Less rare gear Don't support this one because I like collecting rares
9) Battle Token enhance shops (customize your weapons using Battle Tokens, Add crit/block chance up to 5%, or upgrade old weapons) This would be a nice feature, Support.
10) Retrain revamp (allow players to subtract stats, or enter values to make up for small mistakes) Mutual feeling, I never retrain.
11) Get rid of fame (horrible system that has increased spamming by 200%) I think a Fame 4 Fame censor would be more appropriate then removing the whole system.

Finish rest soon

Because of popular outcry, I have changed

quote:

11) Get rid of fame (horrible system that has increased spamming by 200%)


To something more allowing so that the feature may stay, but with certain chat limitations as TankMage Suggested.

1) No enhancements: Yes i think they should go, i think they are still a big part that ruined this game.
2) 2v1 Boss Battles with a PERFECTED system: yes 2v1 boss, thats what everyone really asked for anyway, "perfected" ha right....
3) Tournaments for rare prizes: no, could easily turn into a repeat of juggernaut
4) New arcade prizes: new would be fun, but i think the drop rate on the "common" and "very common" should be increased a bit
5) Advanced housing system, with a sensor on who can enter, and maybe even a "bouncer" for events and parties: maybe but that sounds like a varium hole so i'd probably not do it
6) More robots with specialized powers: new robots would be fun
7) Non-Varium weapons and armors to fill in the gaps: yea there need to be halfway decent lvl 32-33 non var weps, i mean the lvl 33 non varium mercs are still running around with mjolnir, decent meaning more stats for the non vars
8) Less rare gear, and more permanent gear for lower levels: i dont understand this one, i like rare so i say no...
9) Battle Token enhance shops (customize your weapons using Battle Tokens, Add crit/block chance up to 5%, or upgrade old weapons): maybe, like maybe even adding +1 or so to the base damage
10) Retrain revamp (allow players to subtract stats, or enter values to make up for small mistakes): yea i dont like the retraining method right now, and maybe make a little sidebar you can place weps you want to equip so you can see how the stats lay out and make sure you meet your requirements.
11) Chat limitations on begging for fame (This would decrease spam, but allow players to still award fame when they felt a player deserved it): i dont really understand the point of introducing fame, but i think if someone asks for it multiple times we can be aloud to report for spam
12) Go back to the previous World Domination system (the one where Varium could not determine who won the war for that day): i dont really care about factions so i dont have a comment on this one lol
13) Get rid of the current 2v1 Juggernaut system which prides itself on beating the crap out of lower levels: dump this one, and make a fair one
14) Class balance and/or more skills (the more skills, the more variation, the more builds): i see class to class pretty well balanced its enhances that mess everything up
15) Get rid of agility (Putting a restraint on health is crazy. Many people enjoy putting there stats in HP and I do not see why this is a problem...They must sacrifice other stats to do so.): yea agility is horrible why they even introduced it still leaves me confused
16) Class Changes should be less Varium after you have switched once (lower it to around 500): no, its fine, any less and ppl would abuse it more then they already do, plus those who have used it will feel greatly cheated
17) Once a name is bought, you should be able to go back to it FREE of charge (or for a substantial reduction in Varium): yes, i think you should be able to chose between any of the names you have purchased for free
18) Quests should have a chance to drop Varium bought boosts at a very low percent (Battle boost, EXP boost, NPC reset): eh maybe, missions are kinda pointless right now, they need to drop stuff that is exclusive that quest only so if you sell it, theres no getting it again
19) Varium package prices should be lowered to reflect the other AE games pricing scales: no, to late now, horrible idea
20) Faction Chat (Everyone in your faction, with the ability to chat LIVE in one chat): that would be neat, one you can chat from while in battle and such, but then lag might be a factor, with it being a real-time chat and all
21) Buddy Server Indication (If a friend is on a different server, don't show them offline, but rather list the server they are on like AQW and HS do it.): yes, ive wanted that since i started playing
22) Survival Mode (How long can you survive?):eh, it would have to beating up low lvls to make it even have worth, i say no, it will turn into a juggernaut outcome again
23) Customizable Faction HQ (Add items, booster dispensers, and make everything look the way you want it too): yea that would be kinda neat
24) Faction Founder step down, and ability to add cofounder: yes, or if the founder is inactive to 14 days then the highest ranked in the faction takes command until the founder returns, would keep factions alive
25) Daily and Weekly win counters for faction: again im not a huge faction fan, so i have no comment
26) Fix bug that makes "failed battles" count against you daily win %: well yea a bug fix shouldnt even have to be requested
27) Add more physical staffs for mages (the only class with a restraint on their class specific weapon): yea a few more would be neat
28) Make the reputation system worth something in some way or another (make it useful other then for looks and bragging rights): i say scrap it all together :/ lol
29) Ability for quests to be redone and quest items to be deleted: no, ppl could get easy tokens and creds then, but i think they should make some daily missions
30) Finally better communication between the staff and the players for optimum player satisfaction: yea i remember when i could see ED staff all over the game, now, you hardly hear from them, i miss the video DN's D:

@off topic lol how funny it is that the mods make every topic but when it comes to topic like this one they don't i wanted them to make of this.

On topic> I got some suggestion

One: when we buy a 50$ pack the promo should come with enhance slots

Second: Make a in game feature that let you rate every update so it gives them a idea of how they are doing

Third: Remove fame for fame, Rarity Score and War Kills

Four: Make Gamma bot cool down one turn longer

Five: a way to rear range Achievement or remove them

Six: Promo weapons should only stay one week and there should'nt restock weapons at all

Seven: add more stuff in arcade price

Eight: Make a leader board about op wining streak

nine: Update monthly

Ten: Mission items Should have a separate bag

Eleven:

There is more to come

I think they probably have this list somewhere, its probably just buried under the "how to make a profit while losing your entire player base" manual.

we don't have a "how to ruin the game and lose all your players" manual. I was actually discussing some suggestions with some of the other staff for a couple hours today.

I'm always afraid to give too much feedback because I don't know what I can promise.

I'm very glad to hear that Cindy =)

If you'd like ill be very honest with you and straight up. I really enjoy this game, and I have talked with some fellow players who have convinced me of a few things. The first realization I have had is that for the past 10 months, no matter how you look at it, EpicDuel has been consumed by Varium based releases. This is a fact. However as much as I want to blame you for it, and blame Titan, Nightwraith, and Charfade, I have come to the conclusion that none of you, none of the developers, not one of you thought it would turn out this way or meant for this to happen. I do not take back anything that I have said, because I am being honest, this is how ALL of YOU appear. However I believe that your intentions are good. Not many people realize how hard it is to code a game, how hard it is to draw huge amounts of art for every release, and how hard is to satisfy the players while still meeting financial deadlines and expectations. For the last year I have witnessed EpicDuel fall into a hole as Varium release after Varium release have consumed the majority of players. Many of us have gotten tired of it, I have gotten tired of it, and I have tried to express myself as clearly as possible. Lately their have been a few mistakes made around 2v1, and I feel things have been blown out of proportion.

Cinderella I feel a lot of what EpicDuel is to become is in your hands. I have given EpicDuel so many chances, so many tries to get things right, and I think I am willing to give it a few more. I am willing to give it a few more chances knowing THAT you will do everything in your power to get the voices of the EpicDuel community heard. I am willing to support this game as long as you try and Titan and NW try to make this game something better then it has ever been. This means balancing profit with player. It may mean the ED staff has to take some risks and chances, and it may mean that the players must trust you. However if we can balance Varium, with feature related releases which benefit everyone, EpicDuel will be back on a course of success.

@cindy

In that case I have your back. You just have to be able to accept some of the mistakes you have made, and admit them to the community so we know that you are aware of your mistakes, and are looking forward. Thats all we ask. Public recognition of mistakes and communication.


@Zach

Read my last post. We have found some common ground :)

well since aqw has membership
how about we add the 5k for $5 deal over here?
this way its 15k varium for $55?
also includes promo in this or the $50 deal
either that or double the ammount of varium we get per package.
