New Central Station preview, balance changes, inventory overhaul, and more!
Hey there, EpicDuelists. We've got a lot of major changes coming to Delta V this week, but most of them are not quite as flashy as last week. When we go crazy with too many content releases in a row, we tend to let the bugs pile up and move forward, so this week was necessary for some much needed cleanup and improvements.

Balance Changes

Last week saw a MAJOR overhaul to EpicDuel balance, and that was bound to cause some upheaval. After reviewing the heated forum discussions, we've made the following balance modifications.

  • Since defensive skills were not depowered by the last release, Field Medic, Hybrid Armor, Energy Shield, and Defense Matrix received 1 point reductions
  • Agility reduces Defense / Resistance by 1 extra points for extreme Health builds
  • Diminishing returns on Strength, Dexterity, Technology, and Support begins 5 points later (after 55 stat points)
  • Introduced a second tier of diminishing returns on stats (after 85 stat points)
  • Boss NPCs nerfed slightly


Epic Power Hour: TAKE TWO!

Starting at 10:00PM ET and 10:00AM ET (for real this time!), players will receive DOUBLE XP from all victories for an hour! This also means that players using XP Boost will receive QUADRUPLE XP! This puts level 33 easily within reach.



Inventory Backend!

Wow! That sound...boring. The best part is, if it worked, you won't even notice it. However, Titan has spend most of this week restructuring the item tables to allow for better long-term performance much greater flexibility for adding things like defense/resistance armors, new bots, items with buffs, and, most importantly, quest items! If all goes according to plan, this feature should pay off immensly in the upcoming releases!

Bug Fixes

Here is a list of the major bugs fixed for this release:

  • Power Hour bug fixed!
  • George Lowe repowered!
  • Banana Suit load error while enhancing
  • Weapon encumberance display error

New Mods

We would like to welcome two new members to the EpicDuel in-game moderator team: Dorumon and IcyGlacier. If you see them, be sure to say "hi"...or they'll ban you!*

*not really**
**maybe 0_o

*Preview* Train Hub 2.0 *Preview*



In preparation for the new update to EpicDuel's revamped engine, next week we are giving a few old screens a much needed facelift. One of the oldest areas on Delta V is the Central Station (known to our experienced players as Oz World 7). Since this is the first place new players see, we determined it would be beneficial to revamp all 9 screens to reach the standard set by the latest worlds.

Also, we will be adding teleporter pads across Delta V to expedite travel, meaning remote regions like the mines below the Minetower and Talia's Science Facility will be a click away!



The next few updates should have the biggest and baddest (in a good way) releases EpicDuel has seen yet!


Tagged and formatted! ~Ashari

Glad to see they used my idea to make the diminishing returns 5 points later.

Ok honestly nerf hybrid armor? That is Mercs only defensive skill we cant buff or nerf our own defences or nerf our enemies. So you nerf our only defense and passive? So honestly what can -1 point do to the other defenesive skills? This majorly effect Mercs just sad. Wait and buff agility ok ED you have showed you personaly hate Mages you know agility effects them the most. So now you PERMANETLY DESTROY HEAL LOOPING! You nerf field medic and nerf their High HP and still no changes to them WOW ED all mages just quit they dont care about you.

@Wario How is that to great if thats your ONLY defense huh? BS doesnt really count because you sacrfice HP but Hybrid is our only defense to get defense and resistence with sacrficing HP and you think its to much when BH and TM can increases their own defenses and nerf their enemies when Mercs cant do that? -1 def can be a BIG CHANGE I have won many battles by 1 hp and so have my eneimes -1 defense wouldve made me or them K.O so yeah its be a big change. Also yes it counts for Enhancements and weapon stats and mods so yeah you wil get nerfed even if any of your stats plus weapons go over 55 and 85.

I agree Hybrid has been in need of a nerf for a long time a hefty +13 forever, was a tad ridiculous!

Inconceivable!


@Digital X: The encumbrance was previously shown for the level of the person viewing the stats, not the level of actual person. Now it's working properly.

It looks like Strength builds are getting a hard hit with the second tier of diminishing returns.


Also congrats Icy and Dorumon! Well deserved you two! ^.^
