I've seen quite a few posts on the forums lately, talking about how the gameplay and experience of this game is, well.. Not as good as it used to be. People can come up with good suggestions on how to improve the gameplay and enjoyment of this game, but some are truly very time consuming demanding for such a small team to make.
I think Epicduel needs a brand new look, something to interest people into playing it, and making it more fun aswell. More players would only do good, the team would be able to make more frequent and larger updates, and it would make those level differences and skill in duels dissapear.
What could possibly make the game more popular and enjoyable then?
Sure, the devs doesn't get alot of income from such a small amount of players, which in turn means that they can't hire more people to make larger and more time consuming updates faster.
I'd love to see more cores, weapons, just gear in general added into the game. Mostly gear which actually has something to it, maybe a nice little core or feature that makes it unique in some way or another. Adding equipment for looks isn't really helping too much, more cores, skills, and higher level caps would truly be appreciated. 
However, as someone said before, goals are very important in games, those goals should preferably be hard and/or in large amounts.
I think that this game has great potential to grow, but it hasn't meet the right audience yet..
Considering how Artix Entertainment's playerbase mostly consists of younger people, those who want an easy and quick game to get into.
Epicduel isn't easy to understand for younger people, as it requires math and more tactical thinking than any other game.
Therefore, many might not like the complicated concept of the game, neither it's low amount of players 
So starting out as a noob in this game might not have the same ''Attraction'' which AQW has for people.
A good way could to improve Epicduel would hire a few more artists, or ask around amongst forums looking for new recruits. 
-New animations would make the gameplay feel more fluid, and maybe adding or upgrading the factions, for players to able to organise events and fight rivals.
-Perhaps adding a 3vs3/2vs3/1vs3 mode could be a good start? Or improving the social aspect of the game, adding a better chat system.
People want to have fun, and playing with friends is way more fun than playing alone. So maybe making your own teams could be a possibility? Teaming up with your partner against other teams, to see which one has the best teamwork and technique. I know that balancing this could be hard, but with more players ingame, it would balance itself out, playing it as a gamemode on it's own.
There are so many ways on how to improve this game, but with Epicduel's staff not being very large compared to others, those ideas can't be implemented yet, atleast not very fast.
I think to start of with giving the game a more fluid gameplay, with brand new animations and perhaps a new, and interesting and more social game modes, could really interest alot more players into joining the game. Players can't come from nowhere, but making an and exciting commercial to show itself off, would be really cool, and with the skill I've seen from these artists, it could potentially be a really big hit.
