The Tournament Continues

We are already on the cusp of the second week of the Golden Yeti Tournament and the competition is extremely fierce! There is still one more week to go so don't give up yet! Any breaks the leaders take is a chance for latecomers to swoop in a snatch one of the top 100 spots!

Do you see your name up there? Congratulations! But be afraid! Those top positions may be difficult to secure as the tournament continues!


New Cores!

Need some diversity in your build? Gear up with 3 new cores this Friday!

[img]http://www.epicduel.com/images/cms/nanosteel_armor_dns.png[/img]

Nanosteel Armor: Critical hits getting you down? This passive armor core effectively reduces the damage reduction of all critical hits inflicted on your character!

[img]http://www.epicduel.com/images/cms/dead_battery_dns.png[/img]

Dead Battery: Applies a curse to an enemy that causes that target's remaining energy to go to you if the enemy is defeated while the curse is active. This means that if you apply the curse to an enemy, and they still have 20 energy after dying, that energy is added to your own pool!* This works even if your ally is the one to defeat the target.

*We are still balancing this skill so the numbers are not finalized!

Plasma Meteor: Meteor shower just got an energy damage based equivalent!


Sneaky, Sneaky Azrael

[img]http://www.epicduel.com/images/cms/azraelscythes_dns.png[/img]

For those that missed it last week, we introduced two new Azrael Scythes last week on the Alydroid. These were limited quantity, so of course they sold out very quickly. This Friday, we will restock twice (depending on demand). Once at 10 AM EST, and again at 5 PM EST. We will also restock the Dage rares at these times. We will only restock if the quantities are depleted.


EpicDuel Turns Four!

[img]http://www.epicduel.com/images/cms/alpha_shot_dns.jpg[/img]

It’s hard to believe that four years ago EpicDuel had just launched it’s first public Alpha. It’s even harder to comprehend how the game has changed since this momentous event. In that time, we’ve joined with Artix Entertainment, gone through four development phases, released thousands of weapons, developed countless features, and hosted over 100 million battles. Now we are in the midst of the most exciting evolution in EpicDuel’s history: Omega!


Mod Application Deadline

The application deadline is almost upon us, but it's not too late to submit! Please send your COMPLETE application before 12 P.M. E.S.T. this Friday (March 1st) to: EDCallForMods@artix.com

Lycus and Cinderella are still hard at work narrowing down the list of qualified applicants, but unfortunately, due to the volume of mail, we will not be able to respond to all of you to explain why you were not selected.


Balance and Bugs

To round out the release, we're making some adjustments to balance, targeting the rise in power of Support builds and some more tweaks to help classes that are underperforming. We have some larger changes in mind to help with balance, but we don't want to do anything too drastic while the Tournament is still live.

There will also be a number of crucial bug fixes. For a complete, detailed list of the fixes and changes, check Rabble's patch notes shortly after the release goes live!


Coming Soon!

Can you please put images like this one: http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=21127953 ?
Oh I think you need the "Tagged by Smg" lol




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 15:56:05)

Nanosteel Armor + Generator = Brb, preparing a tank build. Like.. this passive works on each Crit anyway instead of say Block and Deflection core so it may be a good trade-off. I could put it on my PP & have Fury since it's handy but Generator's heal can also be interesting if I bump up defence + new Core. Damn. <.<




IsaiahtheMage -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:00:06)

Well, Nanosteel Armor + Generator + Tank Build seems like it's gonna be the new build. We'll be forced to rely on rage now in order to damage those Tanks. Since crits probably wont do much anymore.




....SKY.... -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:03:39)

no more support builds - they nerfed critical, nerfed strength mercs, nerfed support mercs, nerfed berserk, nerfed hybird armor, nerfed double strike. Great, Mercs have officially been nerfed to the ground :). Time to abuse Tank Mage build LOL that steals energy.




Mother1 -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:03:51)

Oh great now we have a counter for crits. Tanks builds will become OP with this but on a bright note thank you for the coming nerf to support it wasn't any fun being kicked around by support merc's and other support builds.




Vagaran -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:05:02)

Great, just what I need. First support builds and now tanks :) Now I'll definitely have a tough time staying on the G.Y.T LB :D




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:08:20)

Crits ignore 50% of the defence, you think that core will nullify that much? So Block gets 4% and Deflection get 6% from respectable cores and you think Crit core will nullify it THAT much? Since it's passive effect, it may be even around 10-15% (if not less) which still ignores over 30-40% of the defences.

Yeah, way to go thinking core = crits useless. Because it's reasonable to take away 50% outta it. Yep.




Hard boy -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:17:21)

YAY mercs are officially useless now....




G4m3r -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:18:04)

Nanosteel armor---------- Good for tank builds

Dead Battery-------------- This skill core is very interesting but the numbers are still being balanced

Plasma Meteor------------ Just a energy-version of Meteor Shower


Restock seems pretty useful.


Balance improvements, hope they will balance the classes because some classes are a little bit underpowered and not useless in this moment.


Coming Soon!

That image is very curious, it looks like a Dage´s design but I´m not sure.

Will that image says that will be a new armor or itens? Or even an new event?

Cannot wait for the next details [;)]




Vagaran -> RE: =ED= February 28, 2013 - The Tournament Continues (2/28/2013 16:18:40)

The downfall of Merc has begun and in the chaos it caused a new OP class raises! Prepare for the Era of the Tank Builds! :D (Now to get some Varium so I cna change class....)




....SKY.... -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:20:38)

I hope mercs dont go extinct after this update. lol. Dage weapon restock is not useless, I need those guns, didnt get them last time.

As all people know, the best class in tanking is Tactical Mercenary so just change to it prepare to take less damage and see lots of blocks and deflections with a focus build (optional) and good sirurgical strike. But I still can´t believe how a class without any debuff be OP even with this news.




zion -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:22:32)

Really won't know if its better than deflect or block chance until the % is finalized... Dead battery sound interesting - but an exclusively 2v2 core? There's no way you can give up your turn in juggernaut for a core like that... can you?




G4m3r -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:23:54)

Sorry, I thought "useless" means "useful" lol xD.

Vagaran -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:31:03)

My name is 24th up there last I checked [&:]

I just realized I had enough credit for 2 class changes...lol.

I wonder how long 2v2 will be with Tank Builds...

And I spot my Faction Leader [:D]




Mother1 -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:33:13)

The Incredible Hulk -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:47:59)

Off subject: I am from Europe. I'm from London. No offense but did you just call me american ;O.

Do you know where the Olympics took place; if you are from europe?




G4m3r -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:50:06)

2012 Olympics were in London but the first one were in Athens in Greece.




Calogero -> RE: =ED= The Tournament Continues - February 28, 2013 (2/28/2013 16:52:50)

Still no Core inventory... Le Why is that :(.

I hope the balance update this time is somewhat better then the last one...

European aswell




Drianx -> RE: =ED= February 28, 2013 - The Tournament Continues (2/28/2013 17:30:49)
