NPCs were completely rewritten for Omega and we were initially a bit concerned that they would need to be cut or severely limited for delaying Omega, but things just kind of came together -- as they sometimes do. Actually, they're even better than they were before since they can now use auxiliary weapons, like our friendly neighborhood Overlord Guard is using on me here: [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/npc_zooka_dns.jpg[/image] With this major hurdle out of the way, this weekend should be smooth sailing. Well, smooth-ish. At this point, we're not taking anything for granted. The to-do now quite small, but we don't want to get overconfident. Another full weekend of working is ahead for us! More Character Previews! Check out these new screens form the Dev server showcasing the new character customizer with the new Bounty Hunter styles in-game! We're still working on color separations, so look for more previews on our Twitter feeds as the weekend rolls on! [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/new_customizer_dns.jpg[/image] Hopefully you'll enjoy these new armors as much as I enjoyed making them. EpicDuel has come a long way since it's creation and we are confident Omega will be the best phase yet! [image]http://cms.battleon.com/ed/images/female_bounty_dns.jpg[/image] Keep following our Twitters and DN posts for further updates! Here's hoping we'll be completely feature-locked by Sunday! Formatted. In future do not tag your own threads. ~Tanky

Nice! First Post :D

kaiseryeux21 -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/25/2013 23:13:45)
the new interface looks awesome.

DanniiBoiixD -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/25/2013 23:18:36)
Glad to see OG happy. :`]

kaiseryeux21 -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/25/2013 23:21:57)
^yeah, might be a very decent fight with him.

Mother1 -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/25/2013 23:37:21)
Wow it looks like NPC are getting the buff they need. I wonder if this will apply to boss characters as well?

TRizZzCENTRINO -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/25/2013 23:54:55)
character customization looks so much better

kaiseryeux21 -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 0:09:39)
@soul, making NPC equipped an aux doesn't sound so OP for me. It only makes them have variety of attacks instead of simply hit, cheapshot, berserk).

SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 0:12:59)
^OPed, doesn't mean you can't win with them, once Omega, NPCs gives no wins, no tokens and no exp, only credits*. Y would anyone wants to NPC that gives only credits, and its harder then before?? I am just saying to nerf NPC, i don't say Aux will make them OPed ...

kaiseryeux21 -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 0:18:49)
^Y nerfed NPC's when they doesn't count towards your battle records?? NPC's gives you credits and in unlimited way so i think making them Oped a little bit seems exciting. You get to try your build with them, without worrying of adding a loose to your battle record. It's also like battling a more experienced player and learning your mistakes so that you can have knowledge on how to counter them the next time you fought with them.

Scyze -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 0:35:58)
I actually thought the Omega Weapons weren't good looking. Now when it is equipped, they look awesome. I like the one the guy's got equipped right now. I can't wait. EpicDuel is getting better. Its worth the wait!

Blaze The Aion Ender -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 0:37:24)
Oh thank god! The Omega weapons looked like they would be such an odd color in the pictures we were given It's good to see a pic of them in game, to see that they have a reasonable color scheme which I can match That's essentially all the struck me in this, since it was something I was slightly worried about xD

SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 0:47:28)
I think the weapons r too sort, look at the claws ... So small ... Even the sword is tiny .. The bigger, the better and cooler :D quote: ^Y nerfed NPC's when they doesn't count towards your battle records?? That's my point, they don't count, they r difficult, then wats the point of fighting them?? if u want to test your build, fight with players, they don't count either ... Would you fight Lowe whole day, just for few bunch of credits, no exp, no win, no tokens ...

Dimentic -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 0:48:29)
Now I want to know what will those new pesky NPCs give as a reward... :3

kaiseryeux21 -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 1:04:58)
quote: That's my point, they don't count, they r difficult, then wats the point of fighting them?? if u want to test your build, fight with players, they don't count either ... you know not all players in game are very friendly enough to let them fight you without gaining anything. quote: Would you fight Lowe whole day, just for few bunch of credits, no exp, no win, no tokens ... and who said its just a few bunch of credits?? few or more, its still credits. Without few, you can't get more. George Lowe isn't the only NPC in game u know that im sure. There's NW, Cindy, Charfade, BigTuna, Overlord Guard, Slayer, Mirv, Hank, Selena, Talia, Marauder Hulk, Marauder, Oz and alot of them (can't stop myself from typing. Lols). Smart of you to give Lowe as an example for your argument. :-)

SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 1:08:56)
The reason i was Lowe was coz fight against him does not count ... 4get it, u wont understand .. Many ppl r used to learn only from their own(hard) Exp :)

kaiseryeux21 -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 1:15:02)
yes, i will never understand coz there's nothing to be understood. I hope the NPC's will get a massive OPed. Sounds exciting.

ND Mallet -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 1:15:54)
@soul You do know that ALL NPCs will no longer count to your battle record when Omega is released right?

kaiseryeux21 -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 1:22:00)
So far, NPC's for me have 2 purpose: 1. unlimited Credit Farming (very nice if your're currently broken with credits like me) 2. Testing Builds (How nice it is to know the strengths and weaknesses of your build without comprising your battle record, plus the bonus credits) i know the 3rd would be for mission drops, new skill cores etc. I haven't found any flaw(s) with this system.

f4tal1tY -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 1:23:40)
:O I loveeeee the new interface for character customisation :') Also, I love the new artwork for the basic classes Nightwraith! xD

SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 1:28:14)
quote: @soul You do know that ALL NPCs will no longer count to your battle record when Omega is released right? LOL, y do you think i was asking for a NERF?? its coz they don't count and they got tough ??

kaiseryeux21 -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 1:40:58)
From Titan quote: Changes to NPCs Today we wanted to go over some changes to how NPC fights will work in Omega. We want NPCs to fill the purposes of: 1) training or testing builds 2) gaining credits 3) furthering missions and the storyline Well, if you want NPC's to be Nerf, might as well make one of the purpose of the new system useless. How can i train with someone who i can Pawn with 2-3 hits?? Its not training after all, its "TOYING".

SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Omega Progress - January 25, 2013 (1/26/2013 2:14:57)
Overall , end of NPCing for me..
