Hey everyone!

RabbleFroth here, newest member of the EpicDuel team. I've been around for a few months now, but didn't feel comfortable posting since I've been properly familiarizing myself with the game. Also I'm a bit shy, haha.

I figured now was a good time to introduce myself since I'll be out of town for about a week and half and won't be able to do my normal development work. There's supposedly internet where I'm going, but no guarantees, so if I don't respond for a while, that's why.

About Me
1. I'm a programmer. I approach most problems as a programmer, very analytically and systematically. Sometimes a good approach, sometimes not.
2. I love playing/developing games. Explains why I'm here, right?
3. I love to read. Currently reading Xenocide (Ender's Game 3), The Wheel of Time series, a book by the Dalai Lama, a Warhammer 40k book, and the Dune series.
4. I've spent around 8 years practicing Tae Kwon Do. To answer the most common questions I get when I say this: yes that's kind of like Karate, yes I have a black belt, and no I can't beat you or any of your friends up (EVERYONE asks that last one).
5. I play a mage in every game that has it as an option. Not 100% why. Probably the pretty colors.

What I've Worked On So Far For EpicDuel
1. Server performance improvements
2. The retrain overhaul (no more retrains one level at a time, yay!)
3. The translation system which makes it possible for the game to be displayed in other languages.
4. Matchmaking improvements; speed improvements earlier, and last patch had some fairness changes that were overshadowed by the Frysteland event (not a bad thing).
5. The Frysteland event itself. Was a LOT of hard work to get this out, but was very fun to work on. We're paying attention to what you guys like and don't like about the event so we can make any future events like it more fun.

My Forum Presence
I'd prefer to be somewhat active on the forums, but I'd like to be clear about what I can talk about.

I'll try to explain our development decisions where I feel it's necessary and where I can contribute to healthy discussion (meaning open trolling will mostly be ignored). Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to comment on balance discussions because I still don't feel that comfortable with the subject (right now others on the team handle that). Any questions about myself or work I've personally done is fair game.

Conclusion
Whew. As usual a little long-winded, but in short: Hello all, hope you get to see a bit more of me than you have since I started.

Howdy Hudelf.

Strangely we have much in common weird internet physics i guess.


Well im going to jump past all the lame small talk and say Welcome to the world of AEF where any personal attack is not personal and genius ideas are stumbled upon by chance.

welcome onboard in the forums Hudelf! :D

These forums are experiencing a lot of miscommunication with the Developing team despite the hard work that Cinderella has done for us. She tried her best to explain to us what is going on, but its great to heard from one of the programmer of the game itself and see why things are going this or that way(if possible to be told to us). I'm sure everyone will appreciate your presence on the forums as it will resolve a lot of problems as I can tell imo :P

Hello Hudelf!

Will you be actively on the forums? Didn't read your answer :P

Are you Legion or Exile?

How did you find ED?

P.S. I'm a fellow mage lover like yourself

I use Hudelf, but I don't really want to log in on that character since he's still a level 3 noob or something. Need to hack him into awesomeness at some point...

Highfive!

Officially I'm not either, but I'll just say that I almost always root for the underdog.

No, I went off to university shortly after getting my 1st degree, and didn't have a lot of time to keep practicing.


Hurray for fellow Mage lovers.

I plan on learning coding(Action Script 3) eventually and wondered if you had any tips(in general coding or about Action Script if you use it for ED).

Also, how hard would you say the coding for the average new release usually is? How hard for new features?

One more thing. Love the Wheel of Time series as well. Can't wait til they release the last in the series.

Sup Hudelf. Welcome to the forums mate.

Kudos to the thread title, another one of your sentences that have made me fall out of my chair and damage me because of the hilariousness. Curses D:

Hello! Nice to meet you! Its kinda weird when a mod has a level 3 character! Well at least to me anyways. But we all started out like that one day!

If you haven't done any programming before, pick a language that doesn't sound too difficult (AS3, python, C#) and find some beginner tutorials to get the basics down. Then just do it. Programming is like math, you have to practice to get better.

quote:

Coding for features can vary pretty wildly. For example, coding the most recent matchmaking changes took me alone a solid work day (~8-9 hours), whereas the latest event took me and Titan nearly a full two weeks to get done, plus all the art stuff that needed doing which took much longer (and seriously, thank Nightwraith and Charfade for that stuff; they worked crazy hard to get it all done in time).

It's very very good. Just bought book 6 which hopefully I'll have some time to read on vacation, so I still have a lot of catching up to do.

Crap, already have a reputation to maintain.

Hello! Nice to meet you! Its kinda strange having mod having a character that is a level 3 newb to me! Lol.

Hiya! And that's exactly why I don't want to log in on him yet haha. I have higher level characters, but that's my official character complete with GOOOLDEN NAAAME *cue angelic chorus*.

Despite my philosophy classes making me question this, I believe that I am, yes!

Agreed!
As my idol now, make me proud of you, join the rebels and leads us to victory!

By the way, in the next updates will you have your own npc? Also we will be able to challenge you? Mind letting me make the sketch of your npc for you?

Inconceivable!


Welcome to the forums Hudelf! Yay! You're not a ghost anymore! (or can ghosts use forums now?... they seem to be able to program just fine... :P)

One question from me... Mac or PC?


Edit: Oh, and just made this thread just a bit more official with a good ol' fashion tag!
