Retrosaur -> Change has Begun! (6/3/2011 18:56:39)

It has begun.

Change is arriving, and in the great hands of Nightwraith and Titan, who have done such a fantastic job with the most recent update.

First off, kudos to the amazing art. I went through all of them several times just to see the quality, and it looks amazing.

Second, for nonvarium players, their status has greatly improved. It is great to see that through all our bickerings, it turns out, Nightwraith and Titan were listening the entire time. Always taking into consideration all of our ideas and hopes. For example, nonvarium’s finally have a gun that does 33 damage. 33. And huge stat bonuses too. Unbelievable, this is fantastic. Physical staffs for the nonvariums. AND FINALLY great bounty claws. And lvl 33 weapons.

When ED goes into Delta, I cannot wait to see more changes like this.

Edit:
It was that I used to really side with the nonvariums. Because we all thought you devs were mocking us, acting like dictators. But in reality, actions speak louder than words. SUPER AWESOME :D
Now I'm happy I can finally recommend this game to others again. Solique once complained about "balance". Though the gap may still be in place, it has shrunk, allowing nonvars TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD HAHAHA to be able to have at least some sort of equality in EpicDuel.


Thank you Nightwraith and Titan, you’ve done such an amazing job. (it’s really hard for anyone to hate on this update, but, as everyone knows, haters gonna hate)



Digital X -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 18:57:38)

Great update guys, i am really impressed. 3 new weapons i shall be getting! And i'm mostly impressed with the Kraken Reaper.. that is one awesome looking weapon, who designed that one?



Calogero -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 18:59:00)

first I went ' yeey ' for the physical staffs
then I went crap due to the crap stats ( 28 total )
my serpent warder that has -1 damage has 33 stats total + 2% connection...

Looks like I'll be sticking to my Azrael's bane



Fay Beeee -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 18:59:11)

I think it would be nice to add the artists names so we ALL know who drew them.

Great job. :)



Elf Priest JZaanu -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:00:39)

I agree with Fay Beee, artist recognition should shown. All the items are fabulous.



Fay Beeee -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:02:59)

Polandor -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:03:12)

As usual the new Varium weapon are weak, because they are not promo, or seasonal rare, and not worth buying.

Out of 16 items, only he non varium gun is a must buy.

all other are weaker in stats than the old one.



Charfade -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:04:32)

Some artists didn't give us their in game name... so we used their forums names... however a artists credits list can be found in the what's new news page when you load the game up. :)

Dont forget to always check the whats new! Hidden missions sometimes get stuck in from time to time! That's the best place to see current info on a ED release. :)



veneeria -> RE: Change has Begun! (6/3/2011 19:05:43)

keeping in track of a game is hard... in all games balance is not a word that one can say easily. [>:] fought some non-variums today.. it was awesome.



Cinderella -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:06:14)

@zman- eventually

Also, with the stats, we wanted them to be less powerful than the rare weapons because they're not rare.



Celestine -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:07:39)

Nice update! Very cool-looking weapons and props to those who drew them!

I won't be buying any, as they aren't comparable to some level 32 weapons, I already own.
But I'm glad Non-Variums benefited from the update. Good step in attempting to balance the game-play between F2P and P2P.

Can't wait to see what Delta has stored for us!

-Celestine Out! :)



Elf Priest JZaanu -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:09:05)

In regard to stats and power, you are quite correct Polandor, but in regard to equality of varium and non varium the gap has decreased. I am hoping for more releases like this where stat power is not of importance, but skill and joy of owning something one treasures.

If rares are in the same range of stat modifiers, then this game will level out.

People who buy for varium power will find nothing in this release, but individuals who enjoy supporting and getting some remarkably creative items, there is so many to choose from.




Digital X -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:11:57)

Is the new gun 1 shot or 2?



Nightwraith -> RE: Change has Begun! (6/3/2011 19:13:23)

Wow! Thanks so much for the kind words, but equal thanks also goes to the players who contributed to this one! I wish we could do releases like these more often since they really let me push myself!

Now we just have to live up to the hype of Delta! :)



Elf Priest JZaanu -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:13:48)

For Cinderella:

Then why should players buy these weapons? The developers and yourself should thinking of not making rares more powerful, but balancing. Rare are Rares. People will get them just for that tag alone.



My Name is Jake -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:16:25)

Hopefully they start releasing more physical staffs. These ones had to higher strength requirements and had strength stat bonuses. :|



Fay Beeee -> RE: Change has Begun! (6/3/2011 19:21:25)

I wish I had been one of the contributors. But my weapon drawing is too much for even Nightwraith to correct. So I wont bother. :)

Great update.
And btw
Graz Veneeria:)
I saw some of yours there.



altimatum -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:23:31)

yeah i think ill wait for some other items.... although physical staves? that may be a hint as to what's coming as a blood mage [8D]



Cinderella -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:29:32)

@Jzaanu- I based the stats on some of the seasonal rares. They're not bad weapons, although maybe not as powerful as some of the rare weapons. I think if we went back and reduced the stats on some of the rare weapons, people would complain even more.



8x -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:34:23)

Why does Imperial warstaff has +18 stats and all other non-varium primary weapons have +16 stats? [>:]
Mercs get only 1 non-varium maul and other classes get 2? (Mercs didn't get non-var maul in saint patricks update and they get one less class weapon now?) [X(]
Why did stun guns get buffed by 1 enhancement? Did you buff them because people didn't buy enough 10k packages? -.-



BloodRainbow -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:42:52)

WOOHOO



edwardvulture -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:42:55)

@digital I meant 2



Retrosaur -> RE: Change has Begun! (6/3/2011 19:46:53)

@Nightwraith
You deserve it :3

Also, I'm curious. Did you do the weapons over a month period or something? Or did you do them all in this week. Because if it is the latter, I'd say nobody beats you at drawing art except for Chuck Norris.



BinV2 -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:54:50)

I was hoping for an aux but there isn't any :(



Hun Kingq -> RE: =ED= June 1 Design Notes: Player Suggestion Shop (6/3/2011 19:57:26)

I just love how everyone is assuming what stats will drive each new class complaining the class change will be varium, which from now till delta you can do surverys and free offers and get well over 20000 points. If you don't want to spend varium on class change then create a new class from scratch and stop complaining about what will happen until it does happen.

Two things that need to be address which I am sure will be is the overpowered gamma bot, support and tech giving weapons and skills too much power when the power suppose to be reduced after a certain total stat point.

To the players that designed the weapons impressive, congrats. Myself I was tempted to by the staff with 16 dex but since they are not rare so I save my varium for class change when Delta arrives.

They say Delta will begin early summer and according to alot of calendars throughout the world we are in the summer months now so so they actually mean mid summer?
