Bio Gear Green
New Gear!

We need to lighten up the mood a little bit around here- after the tragic loss of Administrator 12 at the radioactive hands of Alydriah's lackey, I think we all need a little rest.

This week is going to be focused on the new gear as well as give us a chance to prepare for the next big story arc. In the weeks to come, expect more missions, features and unique NPCs as we explore Delta V's greenest zone.

Bionic Brigade!

With the Azrael pack going rare, we are introducing a new Spring Promotional Pack! This awesome assortment includes the Bionic Battlegear drawn by Nightwraith during his Livestream and the new bot: The BioBorg.

Bio Borg in action!

The Bionic Battlegear features a potent new skill: Thorn Assault. Each normal strike will offer the chance to unleash a flury of metal barbs against your foes!

The bot's special skill is a unique new buff called Thorns.

This potent buff reflects a large portion of damage dealt by a melee attack back at the attacker. This will make high damage dealers think twice before trying to deliver that knockout punch!

Along with being available for free with the largest Varium package as soon as our release goes live Friday, these promotional items will also be available in-game from your favorite squid-headed archival alien, Xraal in the BioDome!


Lucky You!

The Celtic Weapons with the special ability Lucky Strike, which increases your chance to connect a strike by 7% will be returning this week. They are replacing the Heartbreaker weapons, so if you want to grab one of the Heartbreaker weapons now is your last chance to do so this year.

The Biological Preserve is not only home to plants and Hazards, but also cute little fuzzy lagomorphs- the Bunnies! However, some of the bunnies have chewed through their protective caging and have escaped to other areas of Delta V. Are they just adorable or have some master plan?

Adorable. Going with adorable. =:3

Just to add. This is NOT a discussion on balance. If you have balance discussions just dying to come out and be acknowledged, take it to the appropriate place. Stop attacking, stop being snide, stop being rude and disrespectful. Talk about the DNS. Full stop.

Rayman -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 16:03:52)

Uhmm well Since they Finished the Bot Animation does that means they already made the bot special ?




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 16:05:25)

Animation may be done, but special doesn't have to stay the same if art seems right for the skill. It's great as it keeps us in suspence and I'd love to see one of player's ideas being used as it'd kinda count as player suggestion! xD [:D]




Basicball -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 16:07:14)

@Rayman: it means they already made the animation for the special, but it doesn't necessarilly mean they have decided the special's effect already




Lord Nub -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 16:16:02)

Okay so I'm wondering if the Celtic weapons special works as SA does. SA increase the max percentage of blocking from 40% to 50% so do the Celtic weapons work the same way?

If minimum percentage to block is 4% then can the Celtic weapons reduce that to 0%?




Lord Areswe -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 16:36:38)

am I allowed to repost my idea for the bio-borg since the other thread got locked?




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 16:38:37)

@Lord Areswe
You can, anytime! I'd like to also see it as I didn't get a chance to read it. :P




Mr. Black OP -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 17:00:15)

Is there a new arc? Because when I see "Saga" after "Bionic Battalion" it just feels like there are going to be missions.
Anyone?




Lord Areswe -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 17:58:35)

I think that the bio-borg should in some way heal the player maybe converting 30% of debuffes into hp/ep. dex and tech respectively
(so you have a debuff of -30 dex and - 40 tech.you use the bio-borg and it removes 9 points of the dex debuff and 12 points of the tech debuff while at the same time restoring 9 hp and 12 ep)
either that or a "rust" ability which reduces opponents weapon damage according to your focus level i.e. 1 focus = -1 to the opponents primary and sidearm
Hope I helped ;)
thanks for the answer Trans always nice to hear a positive answer.




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 18:04:53)

Must say, the first one seems quite interesting - not too strong, could be used at different situations just to get a heal or simply to get small heal and a debuff. :P
The rust is also quite nice, works just like Intimidate actually so it could be a bit stronger as Intimidate can do like -25 Str at low Support which is -5 damage at Lvl 1, and we're talking Focus 5. xD Unless it could not be debuffed then perhaps +1-2 more damage taken away and it'd be also great - more complex effects the more fun in using them! ;)




DeathGuard -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 18:40:27)

What happened? Seems I have miss some action these past 2 days, well I'm not interested on balance changes right now, I'm doing better anyways, there will be new lvl 34 varium weapons apart from the promo and old weapons?




IsaiahtheMage -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 19:03:08)

The new BioBorg bot should reduce the opponents defenses by 20% for 3 turns.




Sparticus -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 19:04:43)

Bio Borg might "HP drain over time" like poison does, it increases with Tech and focus just like the other Bots. It should also have a PHY regular attack. That would be interesting at least.

It might also STR bind, similar to intimidate. Vines entwine you making it harder for you to attack with any STR.




Fay Beeee -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 19:10:56)

Go here guys.

Sageofpeace -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 19:38:26)

finally we have a chance to make our idea shine i wish they did more things like this^




rej -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 20:47:40)

New weapons.... Yay.....[8|]




Illuminator -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 20:49:02)

@Lord Nub: No they cannot. A player's block chance cannot go below 4%. The wiki mentions that here: http://epicduelwiki.com/index.php/Weapon_Specials#Lucky_Strike




midnight assassin -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 20:58:58)

So have they chosen the bot special?




Stabilis -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 21:21:59)

The bot should remove Primary weapon accuracy to combat Strength players.




Mr. Black OP -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 21:26:38)

^
Or increase your primary accuracy to combat high dexterity players *looks at CH*, this would also help with certain strength builds, mainly strength bounty hunters because of their SA.




rej -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 21:33:16)

I just hope they don't make another massive error with the bot special. Example: "This bot's devastating hit temporarily destroys all of your opponents passive armor! (Things affected by this: Agility, armors, and passive abilities like Mineral Armor.)
Just by reading that, you can imagine the insanity, not to mention the further weakening of Mercenary.
Luckily, there's no way anyone could possible be foolish enough to make a Bot like that.




Chosen 0ne -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 21:58:04)

what happened to these?

Edited post to prevent page stretching. ~Ashari




Mr. Black OP -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 22:14:37)

^
Is that the right link?
It takes me to a blank page that says "MissingKeyMissing Key-Pair-Id query parameter."

Is there a new arc? Because when I see "Saga" after "Bionic Battalion" it just feels like there are going to be missions.




Rayman -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 22:33:08)

He means These right?

Zman: For me it clearly says that theres gonna be Missions

AQWPlayer -> RE: =ED= March 7th Design Notes - Bio Gear Green (3/8/2012 23:41:36)

Moar promos+OP variums ftw? There shoulda been balance changes instead of a new saga cuz the bio stuff can wait. (unlike valentines and christmas stuff)
