The state of mind is, People pay to get a slight advantage...
now the non variums are actualy laughing at us because we spend money just too get beat up by them

The way it's now, it's even less strategy than in Delta at its worse because at that time you still had the stats to make different builds or counter builds


The fact is, that without a slight advantage or credit price jack up to at least like 50k for stuff, varium is useless and your game will lose money. I am not saying that a player should have more stats or a statistical advantage with stats... what im trying to say is the credit prices are too low if you wish vars to become a time saver. Another way to fix the vars problem is to release items that if bought by vars have not 2 not 4 not 3 + stats, but +1 stat or +2 def. The reason being the edge there is very low and it shuts up those who mock us with "you pay to lose because you are not good enough to earn it like me! I am the heart of this game" yes i have heard that comment exactly.... It makes me wish to quit Artix Entertainment. I have heard thousands of variations to this comment and the update has not been online for a week! Especially since many of those using these remarks are only winning because they are a lvl 30 with str abuse that goes first and just beats u to death in 2 turns. There is no strategy behind this update and unless something is done I predict the end of Epicduel due to loss of funds. Advertizing can only carry your team a certain distance and over time if it intrudes on the game too much, Players will complain and quit. Do not get this wrong I enjoy your games and I support most of what you are doing! I think it is great the players can whoop me, as long as they must use their brains and not just spam kill... My main issue is with the level of disrespect I, and so many others are recieving, from players who do not even know what focus means!! I have always been a supporter of Artix Entertainment, I have payed on Epicduel, Adverture Quest, Mechquest, and Dragon Fable(mostly with offers but occasionally with real currency.) I feel that if the balance issues are fixed and something is done to fix the disrespect shown to us by these childish members(who most might I add have not even played for more then 2 years unlike most of us lvl 35 vars.) then Omega will be something great. The simplest way to fix the balance between non-vars and vars is to put health and energy back to +2 for every point, Make credit items more expensive(the credit choices could be from 50k-75k) and add a mute button so those who do not wish to be mocked by disrepectful children can just mute them instead of going through a harrassment report which will rarely be responded to.(Another viable option would be to make Reports much more efficient, maybe have them reviewed by a mod/admin biweekly?)

Do not take this the wrong way, I have stated and I will state again: I enjoy this and many other games by Artix Entertainment very much. I will say that right now your whole team is probably under an immense amount of stress. I want to take a moment to thank you for the update and continuing to improve the game. I would also like to thank you for the great feedback system and for listening to what we have to say. I hope to see many of the suggestions by the different players in these forums take effect, as many of them sound like great ideas. I would also like to thank somebody who genrally does not get thanked in the forums: I would like to thank the mods as I know how stressfull a job that must be. I believe they play a key role in the game and without them the game would suffer.

If you made it through my post then thank you for reading the whole thing. IF I HAVE RESTATED ANYONE ELSES' SUGGESTION(S) PLEASE CREDIT THEM AS I MAY HAVE READ IT ON THE FORUM AND FORGOT IT WAS MENTIONED. Thank you.

"variums are of no use now"
Clearly only people that have tons of variums are saying this...have you not seen how much credit it takes to even get a few cores + enhance/retrain items, plus the continuous retraining build to find a good one. It adds up fast, variums are a 'shortcut' so your still getting your money's worth. I have spent over 78k credit already in omega.

Only 78k credits (Giggles) i have spent almost twice that doing complete retrains to find a suiteable non abusing build, and you cannot retrain items or your character with varium, if you could i would personally have a feild day

I have been playing for hours. And I have one question for the admins. Which is the difference now between a varium player and a non varium player. All players have same STRENGTH BUILDS and same STATS. YOU HAVE DESTROYED EPIC DUEL. WE CANT PLAY NOW!!!
