Anyway, is there any word on what the Slayer Armor will have in terms of defense and resistance?

Looking forward to this update, new items, gonna be EPIC!

You and Fay beat me to it, i just saw them on twitter.

Yeah i wonder what we will be fighting with slayer, i think it can't be the dragon from what ive seen its head is just as big as the planet.
Maybe we will be fighting parts of him just like (can't remember which AE game it was), so we start at the feet and work our way up ;P

@below
Well that would make the crossover complete doesn't it.

Yes. I hope for there to be some non rare varium and non varium equipment soon. Seriously? EVERY ITEM FOR 34 AND 35 ARE RARE for varium!


And poor non vars! They have to deal with extremely low level armors while us vars can have +5+5 armors?! Yes there is Hazard Husk...but...THATS RARE!




:/



Grrr

^Why would I pay money for varium if it didn't give an advantage.

I feel like your comment was extremely unthoughtful...

An advantage yes! But seriously, why make them have to use level 30 armors while we get level 35 armors?

That,sir, is not called an advantage. It is called Over Poweredness.


Next time...please READ what I stated before trying to sound intelligent. Thank you :)


Oh, and to show?


The best armors for a non var?

level 30, give +7 in defense or resistance.



Best armors for var?

level 35, gives +9, OR +5+5 in EITHER defense/resistance.



Yet, this is "FAIR" to you?



I'm a full fledged varium player, and I can see how unfair it is.


And...um...I also stated how VARIUMS havent had any equipment for a while that is non rare.

Raynie, I think I can answer your question. The thing that you need to acknowledge is that EpicDuel is a game, but it is ALSO a business. And like any other business, it needs to make money to survive. If you stop thinking of EpicDuel as a free game with purchasable add-ons, and start thinking of EpicDuel as a purchasable game with a very liberal trial period, then things start to make more sense. The reason that there aren't any real good non-varium armors is that they want to encourage players to stop using the free trial and start paying to support the game. The same with a lot of the other high level stuff.
Up to level 25 most players, new or experienced, don't spend varium on equipment. New players are still unsure if they like the game yet, and experienced players know they will just discard the equipment for better stuff soon. But then they start encountering the high level full varium players and need to decide - do I buy varium (i.e. pay for the full version of the game) or do I continue on playing the free (i.e. lite) version?
EpicDuel has one of the most liberal free trials I have seen. No level cap(like WoW). No time limits (like ShockWave). No restricted areas (like AQ). You can do everything you want to in EpicDuel for as long as you like without paying a penny. Except purchase top-level equipment.

You ask "Is it fair?" The answer is No, it is not fair(from a game perspective). But if you remember that this is a business as well as a game, you will realize that the answer has to be No. Each type of player is getting what it pays for.

@Vulkan, It's not free, going to the event costs money, probably, depending on where you live, more money than actually buying a 10k pack.

Cheapest is $30 on Monday so it depends when is the ED Con held (or rather AE), if one day or more than one. It's not free really. And if you have to travel, it's even more.

@rayniedays56
If it helps, I've suggested to have the old lvl 31 Dragon Buster sold for credits, and a nerfed version of the Slayer Armor as a drop from the Slayer.

I love how people seem to speak out before reading every page... I have already explained about how to go to the con you have to spend money on gas ( if you live in america ) which with gas prices can easily surpass 50$ just to get there... and for people coming from other countries? well think about it two way airline ticket? yeah totally worth spending that for some free pixels right?
seriously lay off its only a perk to going to dragon con. people who are going to dragon con are going for the simple fact its a convention not to get a free armor in epic duel -.-

Yeah, entrance fee, plus cost of gas, plus cost of hotel, plus snacks (gotta have mah snax) would put the cost of that free armor at around 500$.

I think I'll just buy it in game.

My point exactly. Sure it's free because you don't pay anything in-game but people don't think about actual costs of getting there, it's real life after all! It's a nice reward for attending since you got unique item. All AE games had it, or at least I recall so, that if you attend then you get exclusive items that can be only gotten through the Con. That is for "free". ;)

@Rayman, Agreed but I believe they did state this time that they were trying for a 6pm release. Although this is completely subject to change.
