Omega Progress

AI Online

We made huge progress today on NPC AI. NPCs were completely rewritten for Omega and we were initially a bit concerned that they would need to be cut or severely limited for delaying Omega, but things just kind of came together -- as they sometimes do. Actually, they're even better than they were before since they can now use auxiliary weapons, like our friendly neighborhood Overlord Guard is using on me here:



With this major hurdle out of the way, this weekend should be smooth sailing. Well, smooth-ish. At this point, we're not taking anything for granted. The to-do now quite small, but we don't want to get overconfident. Another full weekend of working is ahead for us!

More Character Previews!

Check out these new screens form the Dev server showcasing the new character customizer with the new Bounty Hunter styles in-game! We're still working on color separations, so look for more previews on our Twitter feeds as the weekend rolls on!



Hopefully you'll enjoy these new armors as much as I enjoyed making them. EpicDuel has come a long way since it's creation and we are confident Omega will be the best phase yet!



Keep following our Twitters and DN posts for further updates! Here's hoping we'll be completely feature-locked by Sunday!


Formatted. In future do not tag your own threads. ~Tanky

Wow it looks like NPC are getting the buff they need. I wonder if this will apply to boss characters as well?

@NW , i hope NPC r nerfed, coz enhancements gone = Weak players/defenses, and on that improved AI?? things don't make sense :SS they r actually strong, rather then making them weak ...

@soul, making NPC equipped an aux doesn't sound so OP for me. It only makes them have variety of attacks instead of simply hit, cheapshot, berserk).

^OPed, doesn't mean you can't win with them, once Omega, NPCs gives no wins, no tokens and no exp, only credits*. Y would anyone wants to NPC that gives only credits, and its harder then before??

I am just saying to nerf NPC, i don't say Aux will make them OPed ...

^Y nerfed NPC's when they doesn't count towards your battle records??

NPC's gives you credits and in unlimited way so i think making them Oped a little bit seems exciting. You get to try your build with them, without worrying of adding a loose to your battle record. It's also like battling a more experienced player and learning your mistakes so that you can have knowledge on how to counter them the next time you fought with them.

I actually thought the Omega Weapons weren't good looking. Now when it is equipped, they look awesome. I like the one the guy's got equipped right now.

I can't wait. EpicDuel is getting better. Its worth the wait!

Oh thank god!
The Omega weapons looked like they would be such an odd color in the pictures we were given
It's good to see a pic of them in game, to see that they have a reasonable color scheme which I can match
That's essentially all the struck me in this, since it was something I was slightly worried about xD

I think the weapons r too sort, look at the claws ... So small ... Even the sword is tiny .. The bigger, the better and cooler :D

That's my point, they don't count, they r difficult, then wats the point of fighting them?? if u want to test your build, fight with players, they don't count either ...

Would you fight Lowe whole day, just for few bunch of credits, no exp, no win, no tokens ...

you know not all players in game are very friendly enough to let them fight you without gaining anything.

and who said its just a few bunch of credits?? few or more, its still credits. Without few, you can't get more.

George Lowe isn't the only NPC in game u know that im sure. There's NW, Cindy, Charfade, BigTuna, Overlord Guard, Slayer, Mirv, Hank, Selena, Talia, Marauder Hulk, Marauder, Oz and alot of them (can't stop myself from typing. Lols). Smart of you to give Lowe as an example for your argument. :-)

I hope the NPC's will get a massive OPed. Sounds exciting.

 @soul You do know that ALL NPCs will no longer count to your battle record when Omega is released right?

So far, NPC's for me have 2 purpose:

1. unlimited Credit Farming (very nice if your're currently broken with credits like me)

2. Testing Builds (How nice it is to know the strengths and weaknesses of your build without comprising your battle record, plus the bonus credits)

i know the 3rd would be for mission drops, new skill cores etc. I haven't found any flaw(s) with this system.

Changes to NPCs

Today we wanted to go over some changes to how NPC fights will work in Omega. We want NPCs to fill the purposes of:
1) training or testing builds

2) gaining credits

3) furthering missions and the storyline


Well, if you want NPC's to be Nerf, might as well make one of the purpose of the new system useless. How can i train with someone who i can Pawn with 2-3 hits?? Its not training after all, its "TOYING".
