tiankaiwen -> Balance issues between Non-varium and varium (10/30/2011 1:27:36)
I am a level 33 free to play tech-mage and in the past before varium weapons became so...out of hand...I could easily manage to beat people whether they had a lot of varium or not. Now, however, I can barely even win one game out of ten in 1 v 1 because 90% of the people I face have varium and that adds at least 15-25 extra points and that is only for people who don't overload themselves on extremely cheap varium weapons. Considering how one level only gives you 4 skill points, these varium items give players around 4-7 level advantage of free players. I do understand that a game has to make money, but considering how a person has to have varium in order to win over 50% of their games is just out of hand. I am no where near a bad player and I can beat virtually any players that are free to play. Epic Duel should assign battles, not by levels, but by skill points. I personally enjoy 1 v 1 the most because you have to rely on yourself in order to win but since this past year, there just has been an overflow of varium players and it makes us free players just pissed off at how we are essentially fighting people that are around 6 levels higher than us. If you believe I am whining because I am not good at Epic Duel; I am willing to battle you if you only have no varium items, or one varium weapon, no varium armor though. My in game name is Dystrophe, and I've been playing since beta and I am a level 33 Warlord.

Dystrophe???!!! Dejavu, it seems you found your way to here. Well actually if you bought the items from TLAPD event you could stand a chance but right now it's really hard and you need alot of strategy.

The only type of battle in which strategy actually works for a free to play, which I noticed, is only on 2 v 2. One cannot simply overcome a difference of 15-25 status points with strategy alone. I don't mind having a challenging varium once in a while, in fact, I welcome it. However, there is a serious problem when a decent free to play player is not even able to win half of his/her 1 v 1 games.

i can symphatize with u tiankaiwen, we do have the same experience from the past. i do even have some screenshots beating full varium players. but that was before. when the level cap is just level 32 and before the idea of weapon enhancement took place. i dont think we have a problem with the weapons bcoz there are lots of credit only weps which also have good stats. our main concern here is the weapon enhancement. f2ps like us can't even enhance our armour with 6 enhancement slots bcoz it will cost us 50,000 credits. thats a huge amount of credits. but anyway, i still manage to have a decent record through the help of NPC's. i dont deny battling lots of npc's bcoz they are part of the game. reality bites bro., we have to accept that f2p like us can't easily beat varium players nowadays. but thats not the point, variums dont give u the guarantee that u can win every battle, it only gives u advantage over your opponent. and by the way bro., im not really that proud but i am a commander non var techmage. kindly refer to my char. page. http://epicduel.artix.com/charpage.asp?id=loyti just enjoy and the game and everything will be fine.

Hope this isnt a complain thread but anyway, im a 33 tactical merc, free to play too. mhm, yeap, varium should not give u a 100% over others, but rather, an advantage. But i hope that u all realise that alot has been done over this matter such as the introduction of the TLAPD weapons as well as the armor drop from snork. I feel that the next big step is the adjustment in the enhancement prices, as well as the release of new robots, partly f2p ones. After which, the gap should be at a good position. Nevertheless, actions have already been taken, a step by step adjustment is also better so yeap, hope in future everything will be fine. [:)] Also a thanks to the devs for the great f2p releases recently.

I dont see why its worth complaing about this... It's clear that the devs realise this and their constant new non varium gear with great power is just some great examples of them resolving this issue and I bet my varium on that it will continue. Also the credit class change is another thing.

Locking this up. Please keep balance discussions in the Balance Discussions thread.
