New Year New Update!
Happy New Year, EpicDuelists! Here's to a new year with new beginnings, new challenges, and new triumphs! I'd like to congratulate our Epic gifters this year who blew away our expectations for generosity, especially ..Cosmic Emperor.. who received my very own Founder Armor! Wear it with pride!

Thanks again to everyone who participated in this event, even if you only gave one gift or just did something nice for a fellow player.

Update Time!
For the first update of 2017, which should arrive tomorrow, we'll be making a few changes. First, and most noticeable, we'll be reverting the 15,000 Varium package back to 12,000. As soon as we update, you'll not be able to earn the Ultra-Rare Epic Supporter Achievement again, so if you've been on the fence, now's the time to act!

We'll also finally be removing the BioBeasts packages from the shop. The promotional items, including their cores, will also be removed from their in-game shops on Galatea and the Monkakazi until September 18, 2017, when they will be available for Credits as well as Varium.

War Online
When we update, we will also reactivate the War, which should resume at Central Station. There will be a brief delay before the War region officially activates on Monday to make sure everyone is aware and prepared for it. Wars have been updated to have a shorter cooldown between, unlike the variable cooldown times of before which could stretch for months.

Balance Changes
We'll also be addressing some balance issues with this update, including First Strike, Underdog, and Legendary Ranks!

EpicDuel Team 2017
What's on the agenda for 2017? We've been meeting with Artix and other team leads to determine the best direction to proceed for our personal growth and the good of the entire company. We'll post a Design Note concerning the outcome of those meetings tomorrow after the update.

I wonder what changes they have in store for underdog and ranks? Hopefully they will fix some of the issues that were being had with these but surprisingly nothing was mentioned about Juggernaut's issues. Hopefully they will fix this issue soon.

Just add a "re-captcha" like the old times and end this "bot" drama already.

Anyway.. Legendary NPC nerf?

@Soul IIRC there is already a captcha system in place when a botter is detected.

Obviously not because people are botting the jugger boards. Almost anyone who gets 300 2 days in a row is botting or seriously doesn't have a life.

@Elf

Forget detecting. Just let everyone fill it out who is playing for more than 1 hour.(Legit players wouldn't mind filling out once in an hour. I don't mind) And use those google re-captchas. Tick *i'm not a bot* and then select pics according to the request. Ex: Select all "food" pics etc..

And probably add all kinds of captchas. Making it even more hard for the botters.

I didn't mind doing a captcha at all. Takes all of 5 seconds.

What was the reason it got removed again?

Edit: Update in progress :o

They said they will write it after the update. So we gotta wait.

While I can be happy for the 'slight' increase of difficulty in jug sadly said change fails to do it's original purpose which is to deter or stop botters from botting this mode. At best it will slow them down but the mode will still be farmable for them.

Apparently, bots were able to bypass them easily, so they were only an inconvenience for players.

Ah gotcha.

Those "pick the <insert object here> "captcha might be better, but still easily circumvented.
