again, they aren't free. the number of wins dont stack up in my win counter by itself.

quote:

well what did u expect? im pretty sure lvl 30 PLAYERS were just as "free wins" as the lvl 30 npcs which we could challenge.

quote:

Yes but it is quite a bit easier to kill an Npc than to defeat a level 35 opponent with a good build.

quote:

Yes, but the majority of the time you do not fight level 30 players. You usually fight level 35's.

quote:

that doesn't mean its free though.

quote:

ok, and the majority of the NPCs were around lvl 30.
now having the OPTION to fight a lvl 30 or lvl 35 npc, which one are u going to pick?

quote:

no wonder that people say ED isn't going far.

quote:

Honestly? Do you win more fighting freely against level 35's in 1v1 or beating the biscuits out of a computer? Compared to that it essentially is a free win, which is why it was removed.

quote:

The level 30 NPC obviously, that's not a valid reason why it should count as a win though.

quote:

That's purely opinionated

quote:

yes you win more fighting actual players than NPCs, because NPCs were limited to 15 NPC battles per hours. 1 vs 1 wins were not.

quote:

i see ur still ignorant to call it "free win"

quote:

(bad updates, bad balance, etc)

quote:

I call it this because it was whole lot easier to win against an Npc than a regular player, which I'm sure everyone can agree with. Do you really think it's harder to beat an npc than a player?

quote:

Again, opinionated. I don't think the updates are bad, I thoroughly enjoy them. And for the balance part, compare it to previous times in ED. There were times where it was a lot worse.

quote:

you just pulled the opinion card on me, then proceed to put ur own opinion.

quote:

you also forget NPCs were the BEST alternative for non variums back then.
now non variums are forced to go against the variums without escape

quote:

I wasn't forcing my opinion to represent the whole of the epicduel community. You spoke as if you were representing everyone, I was simply denying the fact that it was true. (If you say you weren't just scroll back up and read what you said yourself.)

quote:

having said that, its no wonder that people say ED isn't going far.

quote:

I was simply denying the fact that it was true.

quote:

I was a non varium til level 30 and I did fine without Npcs. For your second assumption it seems you forgot varium gives no advantage anymore except azrael which is the only game breaking varium advantage as of currently.

quote:

saying that ED is more enjoyable/better now to u, is not a fact, its an opinion.

quote:

and varium still gives advantage. the best cores now come in the promos, so in a way, the game is still pay to win.

quote:

NPC difficulty before was more suited for non vars than it was for full var lvl 35s going against level 30s.
and u opting not to do npc is only further proof that it was optional and wasn't needed.

quote:

From my experience here with their balance changes I have never seen the staff reverse a change they made fully.

quote:

It wasn't suited for anyone, it was just a way to get easier wins than normal 1v1. To add on, I chose not to Npc because I felt like I was cheating. It was too easy.

quote:

a non var (who probably wasn't fully enhanced) vs a lvl 35 NPC isn't something i would have called "easy" match ups.
thats why i said it was best suited for them since it wasn't as easy as everyone claimed.

quote:

Why do you keep assuming every Npc we face will be level 35? When I first tried not and found out how cheap it was is when I was battling the level 26 biohazard. And I forgot but npcs do give exp til level 10 which is enough of an assist for people who do in fact want to battle npcs except for credit farming at higher levels.
