I think by faster, Void meant when it's about skills.
Yes, that, and I emphasize general gameplay. We in EpicDuel play each turn by selecting 1 action at a time, there are numerous results from these actions such as "stunning" (ex Maul), "splashing" (ex Multi-Shot), "buffing" (ex Technician), and multiple others. One thing that I find in my own experience, is too much emphasis on black and white... yes or no. What I mean by this is that EpicDuel, as much of a fun beat-em-up combat game that it is, has a combat structure that really enforces 1 thing or it's opposite: life or death. I understand nothing wrong there, that is essentially the standard in EpicDuel. One con of how EpicDuel works is that our skills and stats, have no true third-or-more-party battle concept or goal. What I mean to say by this, is that in one way or another, for example, our combat skills like Field Medic or Fireball only aim to further control each other's life or death and not too much more. Our current skills meet the variety in selection I like for basic skills. Yes, I even find the ultimate skills to be basic skills sometimes. The 3 skills aim to damage an opponent and often heal oneself. The nice thing about Surgical Strike apart from the other 2 is something different and fresh (to me)... rage deduction. No other skill reduces rage, and that makes the game that much more interesting to me.
What I like to see... what I like or would like to experience in EpicDuel, is the implementation of new skills with entirely new or even attempted tries at new, unique effects in combat. For example, cloaking oneself and preventing opponents from selecting you as a target until the effect wears off or if attacking. Something different like that, aside from heal or damage, shield or empower. That is what I like to see in strategical games... especially with other players, friends and family... the chance to play with others in a match that offers vast opportunities in terms of different actions and different results from those actions... the excitement of living in the moment and not just the thrill of destruction, you know? Sorry if I went Tom Cruise on you for a second.
