Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Ahoy there, you Bilge rats, man Jacks and Stowaways! It be your Master-at-arms, Cinderella. Hold fast and read well this here flag hoist, to avoid bein’ sent to Davy Jones’ Locker.

Yarr, it be Talk Like a Pirate Day, and for the first time, we’re celebrating here on Delta V. You Lubbers can talk to the bonny wench Big Tuna in the West Naval Yard for some nice booty! Let your colors fly with the Talk Like a Pirate Day achievement, send your enemies across the bar with new Pirate-themed weapons, and look the part with new nautical styles!

And of course, you’ll need to talk like a pirate on September 19th, or you might have to meet with the Captain’s Daughter!

(For future reference, the Captain’s Daughter is another name for a Cat of Nine Tails, an instrument of punishment.)

Pirate Booty *Update*!

In order to make enough epic weapons for everyone, Varium and non-Varium alike, we're taking a bit more time to finalize and test the TLaPD weapons. Look for them to drop at BigTuna's shop in the West Naval Yard around the actual Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19).


It's been a shark kinda week.


Be stylin' with classic and futuristic pirate styles!

Pirate Cheevo!

Stop by a VendBot anywhere on Delta V to pick up the TLaPD achievement for 1500 Battle Tokens!


"Yarrr...I'm unattrictive."


Farewell to Dragon Weapons

Nightwraith was nice enough to extend the length of time the Dragon weapons were in the shop. However, it’s time to send them down to Davy Jones’ Locker until next year!

Everyone who should have received the Dragon Master achievement but was not awarded it should have already received it by now. Email Nightwraith@Battleon.com if you're still having an issue!

Making the Lag Beast Walk the Plank!

Titan and his new assistant have been working feverishly all week to determine the source of the recent lag woes in EpicDuel, which have caused skipped turns and other bizarre and annoying bugs. Are two heads really better than one? We'll find out soon enough! Literally ever action in the game have been examined to address the problem, which means drastic changes abound through the engine. If you notice any new bugs crop up, please report them in the forums!

They Might be Giant...

...Water bugs! Known among scientists as Belostomatidae, Giant Water Bugs are the largest insects in the order Hemiptera (also known as True Bugs), between 2cm and 12cm or more in length. These giant predators prey upon crustaceans, fish, and amphibians, and have been known to feed on baby turtles and water snakes. They pierce their prey and inject the victim with digestive fluids. They have been known to bite humans, and their bite is considered the most painful.

One interesting aspect of Belostomatidae is that they are one of the few insects to demonstrate parental care. After mating, the female lays her eggs on the male’s back, and it is he who cares for the eggs until they hatch.

So this is announced today, but it won't be ready until Sept 19? Or will a kick/reboot be happening soon?

Just asking for clarification.

Good work team on adding to the game!

Really can't wait for this update, it is just what I was looking for! A new achievement should be nice to add to my seasonal collection & Some Pirate-themed weapons should be absolutely amazing, maybe some dual wield hooks for the Bounty hunters !

 I still want perma-rare conent for levels 20-29.

In fact the next 4 should be dedicated for filling in that gap until the variety and choices are as far out as the rainbow stretches

Yeah... I'm a hippie. Git wid it.

@PD: new players get to 27+ and because they are new, they had bought items regularly, retrained multiple times, some even enhance items [I did at about level 10]
and are completely broke, then they are expected to level from 27-33 with garbage items. on the way they will eventually upgrade their items 1 by 1, but for hundreds
of battles they are gonna completely suck. I abandoned my first 3 characters at 23-27 because I had made so many mistakes levelling and I started again, 2nd time
round I was far more frugal with my spending so that I could afford the higher level items when I really needed them and because we can use items 5 levels early
that means you get top items from 29 onwards. having more items from 25-29 just encourages players to spend their much needed credits instead of saving them.

I have no problem with additional items being added that cover gaps but adding more items just for the sake of it doesn't make much sense to me. the only reason I
can see for doing it is if the player can afford varium packages and doesnt mind wasting a lot of it on items to help them level.

 ^^ That could just be solved with lower credit prices for all stuff. (Seriously, everything's too expensive)

And personally I don't see the reasoning in only accommodating the releases to an exclusive amount of people (Near to cap or at cap people) either; All it does is exclude everyone else from enjoying stuff when the other games accommodate releases for everyone... or at least a broader range of people.

@PD: totally agree about the prices. was even worse before power hour and the encumbrance thing.

thing is, they were releasing lower level items when the cap was lower, long before I started playing. I can't think of any games that release lower level items 2-3 years later when
their is already plenty of items to go around. now that your not limited to using items that are your level or lower, I think the need for lower level items is even more diminished.

I understand where your coming from but the game is about levelling. In world of warcraft you can turn off experience gains, so using lower level characters with the best items
available at that level is very popular [twinks] but we don't have that feature. I actually think it would be a pretty cool feature to have, and if we did then I'd be all for adding more
items from 1-29. It would also solve the problem of having low credits at higher levels as you could stop levelling and just grind out wins until you were ready to move on.

I like that idea so much I am gonna go put it in the suggestion section.

 I hope that the weapons will be good - but that there won't be any that I particularly want to get, since I'm too busy to farm for credits :P
