seangchea -> Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 15:40:03)

What do u rate it out of 10?




Stabilis -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 15:57:47)

I give it the rating of: Rating.




rej -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 16:01:05)

2.5/10 (i'm only being harsh so that the dev's will strive to make the game more likable)




Darkwing -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 16:05:24)

4/10, lack of balance, lack of many features, bad community.




Stabilis -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 16:22:42)

O I thought you wanted me to rate the rating feature, but I suppose that would be overrated to even try rating the rating system.




Rayman -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 16:32:49)

8/10




Basicball -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 16:57:03)

8.5-9/ 10, depending on what the latest update was about, and when it was

right now 8.5




Reki -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 17:09:04)

Game(overall)- 4.7
*but it can be like a 7 easy sometimes imo*

Balance- 4
Content- 6
Updates- 5
Community- 3
Interest- 6
Variety- 4
Challenge- 5




rej -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 17:18:27)

Oh, just to clear this up, we are rating the game against other similar online games, right?




Wraith -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 17:53:55)

@rej: The game, a browser MMO can not be compared to multi-billion companies, such as the one that owns World of Warcraft. WoW apparently can even hire Chuck Norris to do commercials.

I would compare it to AQW.

Community: 10
Content: Ehh, artwork is so much better. But less of it. 8
Balance: *Checks AQW's fiasco with BloodRut Brawl and Vindicator of They* *Checks TLM* Meh. Slightly more balanced...6
Gameplay: 10. What idiotic game decided that you could only use 4 skills, and whichever person has a less laggier computer has a 100% win chance? And which game has a class with 3 skills with insane cool downs. Chances are, I won't be using Mass of Incandescent Gas twice in a fight.
Updates: Meh. 5. Both Games rip players off with AC/Varium items. At least items aren't purely looks. Also, every item in Itzachi's shop (except Necro and VoT) is a rip-off in AQW.
Challenging: Unless you fight a 100k HP boss, AQW is easy. ED is hard...




sotsemod -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 18:03:17)

compared to WoW and similar i would rate it 1 or 2.
and compared to other browser games, it is 8.
if tactical mercs get nerfed, it will be 10.




Ben1301 -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 18:13:53)

ED needs a bigger community, and personally I think higher level missions.
I'll give a 6.5




Renzan -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 18:18:11)

Right now, a 2. HUGE lack of balance, overpriced items, too many little kids online telling me to do things to my parents, etc.




FrostHS -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 18:31:38)

1/10 T-mercs need e nerf, BM Mage, and CH needs some kind of a buff. Merc needs a major buff. BH needs a small nerf. That's why 1/10
No nvm. not 1/10, 0.5/10




Matrix77 -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 18:32:03)

5/10

deduction of the remaining 5 points

- 1 for lack of balance, where's the tlm nerf as promised?? ==

- 2 for delays and when finally release, most of the time it's rather disappointing and many of the things they promised in the update is not present

- 1 for overpriced varium and credit items

- 1 for the enhancement system





Battle Elf -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 18:38:33)

9/10. Many people focus on the problems of Epicduel buts it a great game, 6 different classes, factions, maps, houses. Sure there are a few problems, but nobodys perfect :)




Angel Of Chaos10 -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 18:56:11)

0.0001/10




nico0las -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 18:57:41)

Community: 10. You guys are WAY too much fun.
Balance: 6. We have some issues here and there.
The Gap: 7. The gap is pretty bad, but people have proved they can surpass it.
Battle: 7. 2v2 is too slow, Juggernaut is unbalanced, 1v1 is fine.
Social aspect: 8. We have a small player base, but some really cool people. Plus ED is making an effort to
reach out to the other players, those that don't speak English.
Updates: 8. This game is a battle engine. There is no reason to have all these releases on a battle engine. I think they're fine.

Overall rating: 7.5. ED has serious issues. It has potential that is not being pushed upon. However, it does prove to be
an enjoyable pass-time and is definitely my favorite Browser based MMO.

Guys, if you're going to rate it, give a good explanation, don't just rant about an imbalance and leave it at that.




Darkoake445 -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 19:05:02)

Community: 3, We have some very nice and entertaining people in the community but the mass of idiots surpass them in number.
Balance: 7, Everything is actually pretty balanced but we just need a few tweaks here and there.
Pricing: 6 , It's not too bad if all you want to do is stay somewhat competitive but enhancements double the price of weapons nowadays and that's ridiculous.
Content: 5 , The releases are generally good and make most of the player base happy but that's only if they come out.
Gameplay: 9 , 1v1 will always be fun and 2v2 keeps everything original but Juggernaut is kind of unbalanced right now.

Overall Rating: 6, Since it's still in its testing phases, technically, it's a good game but the pricing and the content need a little work because honestly if a game is good who cares about the community?

I believe that game is called AQW xD, They have a rather bad community.




IsaiahtheMage -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 20:20:57)

5/10 because the lack of balance between so many things,overpowered luck, and bad community. Something really needs to be done about all of this. Before its too late...




WhiteTiger -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 20:53:15)

I meant to do a review of EpicDuel one day when balance was better, but I guess a short review now won't hurt.

Comparing EpicDuel to another flash based browser MMO that started Alpha testing a year after ED, here is my review:

Balance: 6/10 - There's still tons of work needed to be done in ED with balance, but it's not horribly unbalanced that the game is unplayable.
Content: 7/10 - ED has some good content in-game right now, but things can be improved/expanded. We have 3 battle modes (Solo, Team, Juggernaut), an arcade mode for prizes, houses and house items, factions, and a satisfactory amount of areas, maps, and missions.
Community: 5/10 - I must say, I've seen better, but I've also seen worse. I know ED has a ton of problems, but having countless threads/posts pop up for the sole reason to complain isn't helpful to anyone and only makes the community seem worse that it actually is.
Pricing: 4/10 - Varium is the one thing that EpicDuel revolves around. You pretty much need varium to really enjoy most of the game, which is pretty much winning battles. Although the developers are working on fixing the gap, we won't get far without disrupting the amount of varium purchased since varium prices are quite high for a complete set of fully enhanced varium equipment.
Player and Staff Relations: 5/10 - I won't go too in depth about this one, but the team working on the game, along with the amount of staff actively responding to players are too small.
Updates: 5/10 - Even with EpicDuel's small team, I've noticed that the content in updates have been dropping. In my opinion, we haven't had a good update (content wise) in quite some time, but that doesn't mean there's isn't one every once in awhile.

Overall Rating: 5.3/10

I'll have a side by side comparison of EpicDuel and the other game (who shall remain unnamed here) as one of my subpages on the EpicDuel Wiki soon, and the link will be added to this post when I'm done.
Here is the game comparison review, as stated above: http://epicduelwiki.com/index.php/User:White_Tiger/Review




Xendran -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 21:11:57)

Balance: 1/10 - The balance is absolutely obscene, and is entirely pay2win
Content: 5/10 - Some good content but the majority of it is unecessary and the time could have been used for something more productive
Community: 3/10 - No offense, but this community has degenerated substantially since the merger with AE
Variety: 2/10 - There simply is none. Battles are all the same. Different strategies are essentially obsolete. Two points are awarded because of 2v1 bosses, but these also use the same 'strategy'.
Artwork: 9/10 - Nightwraiths artwork is where this game really shines (this rating takes concept art into consideration)
Player Staff Relations: 2/10 - This is one of AEs weak points. Better than nexon, worse than most others.
Updates: 6/10 For such a small team, they do an above average job.
Server Upkeep: 8.5/10 - This games server upkeep is significantly better than some other companies.
Server Performance: 4/10 - Constant lag, massive amount of dropped packets
Storyline: 0/10 - Not implemented in game in any way shape or form

Overall Rating: 4.05/10 - Below Average Overall, this game is a bit of a mess, however good server upkeep and incredible art manage to prevent the score from going down further. (If these two categories were removed, you'd be looking at an overall score of 2.6)





Buffy A. Summers -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 22:01:03)

You Know... Recently Buffy Has Been Playing Some World of Warcraft.

Buffy Has Also Been Playing Some XBOX 360 Games, Such As Batman Arkham City (Catwoman!) And Is About To Start On Elder Scrolls: Skyrim And The New Zelda Game For Wii.

And Of Course, Buffy Has Always Been A Big Fan of AQW (Adventure Quest Worlds) And HeroSmash Is Fun Too "On The Side".

Buffy Mentions This Because, In Order To Truly Rate EpicDuel, You Need Some Variety To Compare It Too.

Rating ED Should Really Be About Two Things, FUN & Long Term Playablility And Getting Your Money's Worth.

Compared To Other Games, Console... Online And Even Other Artix Games...

Buffy Gives EpicDuel A Very Generous And Sentimental...

OVERALL PLAY: ~ 6 /10 ~

Buffy Is Feeling Kind Because It's X-Mas Time And Should Point Out...

This Game Is VERY Expensive To Pay For, Especially Long Term, If You Want To Get Alot Of The New Items Often And Stay Competetive.

Unlike Other Games, Where Many Of The Upgrades Are Cosmetic (For Show), In EpicDuel, 8-16 Extra Stat Points, For Example, Can Really Be The Sole Difference That Decides A Battle.

So If Players Want To Win ALOT, They Must Constantly Buy New Weapons And Enhance Them, At Least Partially, If Not Fully... In Order To Succeed And Maximize Their Playing Experience.

The Biggest Problem Is, EpicDuel, Despite It's Very Premium Prices, Does Not Allow You To Get That Value Back. Selling Accounts Is Against The Rules.

So If You No Longer Want to Play Or Cannot Afford To, The Money You Invested Is Gone. Unlike A Console Game Which You Can Resell When Completed For A Lesser Price Or Trade In For Another Game.

The Lack Of An In Game Auction House Is A Shame, At Least Being Able To Get Some In Game Currency Back, Would Be Excellent, So You May Sell An Older Enhanced Weapon You No Longer Use Or Want...

To The Player Pool (Community) And Get An Opportunity To Recieve Credits And Varium Back For It, Which You Could Use For Purchase Of Newer Items And Costly Enhancements.

The "Shop" Price Return Is Weak, Especially On Older "Rares". The Varium Buy Back In Game Is A Bit Too Low.

So With That Said... Bang For Your Buck...

COST VALUE: ~ 1/10 ~

Finally, For Fun, As An Added Extra, I Will Include The Staff's Handling Of It's Players And The Community In General.

The Frequent Delays And Sometimes Limited Lack Of Information Prior To A Release Has Always Been A Concern.

In A Perfect World, 'Most' Releases Would Be On Time, Bugs Worked Out Prior To The Release, Not Last Minute. And The Credit/Varium Price Of New Items Would Be Known 2-3 Days Prior In The Design Notes...

So That Players/Customers Can PLAN Both Their In Game Currency (Credits) And Real Life Money (Varium) Better.

The Staff Also Has Made Many Promises Regarding Balance Issues And Desperatley Needed "Faction Improvements" And The Community Still Waits. Many Great Suggestions Going Unheard And Undone...

Years Later... With That Said... Some Staff Do What They Can To Communicate With Us And Are Very Helpful (Ashari!).

But The Developers, Titan And Nightwraith, Are Usually Silent And Distant Both In Game And Forums. And For The Record, Some Staff Have Given Both Myself And Others "Attitude" In This Very Forum, Often.

Which Is Really Not The Way A Business Or Company Should Treat It's Best Customers And Hardcore Players Who Help Keep Both Their In Game Community/Battle System Going And Their Pockets Fat As Well.

STAFF/PLAYER CONNECTION: ~ 3/10 ~

Buffy Could Say Much More. Like The EpicDuel Player Community Itself, The "Battle Engine", Etc... But EpicDuel Is A Business That Makes Alot Of Money Off It's Players...

So The Most Important Aspects Are Above.

Buffy Has Spoken.




PD -> RE: Epic duel rating (12/3/2011 22:08:33)

@Buffy:

/me Smashes head into his keyboard until he dies from the momentum of 300 G's of Kinetic energy.

Could you stop with the caps please? It's hard to read. And please, don't make a space in between each line - half your post space is nothing. e.e

Anyways, I'll give Epicduel a 2.4/10 .
