March Marches Away
March Marches Away

Hi there EpicDuelists! It’s your friendly neighborhood Cinderella, here to let you know about what we’ve got on the agenda for this week.



Bunnies and April Fools

All the classic April Fools / Bunny-themed weapons and armors will be returning this update. Will Nightwraith’s BioDerp weapons (seen here: http://twitpic.com/8sj6wq ) be placed in-game? I don’t know! Will there be a new bunny-type auxiliary weapon or sidearm? Maybe! Maybe we can bug Nightwraith to "Make it so!"

These items and more will be available at Naomi in Central Station or Titan in the Bazaar!


Item Stat Rebalance

If you saw our livestream on Sunday, you know that RabbleFroth is rebalancing the stat modifiers and damage of the items in the game based on price, level, and damage. Since he didn’t put details in his document to which I have access *shakes fist at the sky* I don’t yet have the details for you. Unless he posted it in the forum and I missed it. The basic idea is that a standardized formula will be applied to all weapons to determine their power to eliminate the problem of having a clear "best" item at any given level. This forumula will give items a steadier power curve for each level.



MEESHUNS!

The Bionic Battalion Saga will be continuing this week. Brachylagus and Capensis are not the only rabbits preparing themselves for battle: Myxoma will have her day as well. It’s come to her attention that little clueless Lepus is still in the Biological Preserve, and Myxoma needs your help in preparing a rescue mission for Lepus.

We may also be adding some new perma-missions, but I haven’t written any yet you’ll have to search for them! Like a treasure hunt!



Where’s Nightwraith?

You may notice that our resident murderer-for-hire with a heart of gold is missing from his normal hangout. You’ll be able to find him this week in HeroSmash, where he’s been transported due to a personal teleporter accident (that's what happens when you text and warp!). Be sure to check out his special HeroSmash gear, designed by Randor the Red, and his reaction to the world of HeroSmash.






Nightwraith will be selling his awesome armor on Friday and will remain in for one week. Rumor has it that he may return for one day in November, but you never know. Those teleportation devices are notoriously finicky. Timey-whimey and all that.

Stay tuned to the HeroSmash Design Notes for more information!



Gently Down the Livestream

Thank you to all of our wonderful players who participated in the first EpicDuel Artists livestream where all the EpicDuel development staff were in attendance! It was really great to be able to answer some of your questions, and you gave us a lot of ideas! Hopefully, our listeners got a better insight into the development process, as well! The whole thing is still available to view on the EpicDuel Artists channel on Livestream so check it out!

In related news, give us your requests for songs we’ll be forced to sing well in advance. I think I still owe you guys, like, 5 songs.



I Can Has Mod?

The call for Moderators is still ongoing- we’ve already made a list of some of the people we want to schedule an interview with, and we’ll be adding to that list as fast as I’m able to type it. Remember, patience is a vitrue we value when considering potential moderators, so sending e-mails asking if we've read your resume yet will affect our judgement of your application.

I don't recall Bunny Weapons, unless it's referring to the aux's and gun's mentioned there already.

Great release,

As a side note I apreciate the devs going out of their way to answer questions and ideas via the live stream.

Great work guys, I can tell already it's leading to a happier player community.
Please keep it up :)


Also new bunny gear would be awsome.

I for one think they should make side arms rather then auxes this year.
Or perhaps both.

@DEEGEETALL X: Bunneh Chaompah xd

Anyways...not another promotion?

Apparently, AE values rich babies over the old, quitting players. WHat point is there to making a game if you aim it only for the rich? I can't keep up with this.

And if I don't pay, I get shafted by rich kids who DO pay.

I swear if someone gave me a gun I would shoot most of teh ED population :/ such bratty imbeciles




I had better get this Bunny aux...if I don't, I'm screwed for a year. I also need that Bunny Borg armor 8D

New promo sidearms would be cool. It has only been primaries for so long now, its time for different type of promo. Missions should be great to :)

^^ The 2 Promos that gave Sidearm so far is The Beta weapons Pack and Stun Gun Pack.
And there's enough Primary Promos so far.....

We have been doing soooo many Primaries in the recent promotions, I also agree that this next promotion could use both Sidearms and Auxiliaries. As long as they are balanced!

^^ Way better if it gives Tokens or Some free low Varium stuff.

That would decrease the value by 90% of what a normal promotion is worth.

The only thing to replace equipment would have to be bonus credits or varium, and sell the limited items in game.

Special effect for bunny promo idea:


Calm Charm: (10% chance to work)
The cute in the bunny lowers the opponenents strength by 25% for 3 turns.

Visual effect: Floating love hearts. or Rabbits running around in circles above the oppoenents head.

Giving people tokens:

Buy achievements for rating, or waste it all on faction components.

Giving people lowbie gear:

Good for players of it's level, but worthless in PvP for level capped players.

You would not be able to sell these for very many credits/varium to buy better equipment. If you could, lowbies would be able to instantly purchase overpowered gear as soon as the lowbie promotion item(s) is no longer useless (but if it was useful, it would be overpowered for players of the similar level range). Either way, tokens are not worth much in PvP, and neither is overpowered or obsolete lowbie gear.

Alot of seasonal rares are now weak,

The latest and second latest non varium gear (exile soldeir and leader)

Actuly sell better non varium alternates....

It's a real shame the dont buff seasonals anymore,

It would be cool of they at least leveled them up.
