Greetings, EpicDuelists! It’s that time of year again where many of the Artix Entertainment staff, admins, mods and our most adventurous players head off to Atlanta Georgia for Dragon*Con this weekend. Which means EpicDuel will be releasing a mini-mid-week release today!
For those visiting Dragon*Con this year, the Artix Entertainment panel is this Saturday Aug 31st @2:30pm in the Hilton Atlanta hotel room Grand Salon E. We are also on the Dragon*Con app, under Events -> MMORPG. EpicDuel’s very own “RabbleFroth” will be attending this year’s panel and hovering over the AE fan table. Be sure to say hi!
AE Panel at DragonCon
Title: Making Video Games with Artix Entertainment
When: Saturday, Aug 31st @ 2:30pm until 3:30pm

First time DragonCon attendee? Lucky for you, Cysero has posted a DragonCon survival guide on the AQW design notes!

Mini Mid Week Release!
Without time this week to work on a huge fun filled release, the EpicDuel team decided it was best to go on a mission bug hunt and make further improvements to the New Mission system. Titan is also making more changes to the player’s user experience by polishing up the new mission interface. You’ll notice minor changes in how you interact with NPC’s this week, this will hopefully streamline and reduce the number of clicks you need to do in order to access mission content. These are small changes, but we really hope they improve your game play experience!

NPC Notifiers

Naomi has a question for you! New to EpicDuel this week is the New Mission NPC Notify System. Now if a NPC has something for you to do, like a mission you’ve been putting off, that npc will let you know with a notify indicator above their head. The same indicator icon will be carried throughout the flow of finding and accepting any new missions. All the maps with NPC’s had to be updated to support this change. Which you can imagine, took up most of the development time.
No new missions this week. More time is needed to fully develop and test any new missions. We also need more time to implement and fully test the Daily Mission features. Which are in the coming soon bucket! The EpicDuel team returns from their mini hiatus on Sept 3rd. So there is no release scheduled for this Friday. Will be back to full EpicDuel power next week!

Patch Notes - 1.5.29
NEW CHANGES/FEATURES:
  • Further improvements to the New Mission System interface
  • Add Mission notify system
    • Updated every screen to support new NPC missions notify system – Which now supports indicators above NPC heads.
    • NPC mission button flow polish, limiting the amount of clicks to access and accept missions.
Item Resale Correction

  • Ice Gems (Flawed = 50, Regular = 200, Perfect = 400)
  • Infernal Gems (Flawed = 50, Regular = 200, Perfect = 400)
Mission Bug Fixes
  • Naomi’s mission ‘Purify’, small spelling error fixed
  • Fighting For Fabulous - NPC IDs were wrong. Database fix
  • Coffee, Tea, or Battle - description says 5 wins, but the mission is asking for 10 wins. Should be 10. Adjusted text to be consistent
  • Not a Good Reason - Reduced purchase to 1 Trident Blaster instead of 4. Your reward will net 1000 credits instead of a steep loss
  • The Annoyance of Humanity - Incorrect NPC IDs. Fixed
  • The Golden Gun Gals mission is resulting in a credit loss. The 4 Imperial Blasters required cost 3,000 credits, but the final reward can only be sold for 625 credits
  • The mission “Restock” to only require 2 Imperial Blasters and to reward the player with a 1000 credit profit if they sell the gun
  • You Know My Choice - Yeti Hulks will now also drop Coffee
  • Business Partners - was reported on forums that it wasn’t tracking wins. No issue found

Ahh, finally I can complete this mission.

And Charfade posted the DNs, that's new.

Awesome guys. Have a great time at Dragoncon! I was hoping for the first daily mission but since you guys will only be here for half the week its acceptable. The notifications system is something nobody here would have thought of but it adds to the mission experience immensely I think.

Have a good week at Dragoncon, get some sleep too!




Jekyll -> RE: =ED= August 27th, 2013 - Mini Mission Update (8/28/2013 6:27:51)

Thank you so much for fixing the bugs before heading off! Now, we can keep ourselves busy without a release this week :)

Its still bugged to me. Has the patch been released yet ?




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= August 27th, 2013 - Mini Mission Update (8/28/2013 11:31:56)

Nope, it's not live yet.




Lycus -> RE: =ED= August 27th, 2013 - Mini Mission Update (8/29/2013 3:00:17)

If you still have any of the above bugs, please do refresh your cache, then close and open your browser - this should hopefully sort out any issues! If the bug/s still persist, then a post in the bug section will allow us to investigate it in more detail, thank you!

Not a Good Reason - Reduced purchase to 1 Trident Blaster instead of 4. Your reward will net 1000 credits instead of a steep loss


The mission "Not a Good Reason" is still giving a negative reward.
You have to buy 1 Trident Blaster for 2,500 credits.
The reward Boar 79 only sells for 1,750 credits.

Credit loss = 750 credits


The mission chain "Running Errands" should get revamped because it does not make much
sense to do missions 2-5 because three of them give negative rewards for 50 credits totally.




Betabot. -> RE: =ED= August 27th, 2013 - Mini Mission Update (8/30/2013 8:32:46)

Boar 79 sells for 1,250 credits. So loss would be 1,000 credits.
Also I believe they were stating that the mission chain gives 1,000 credits instead of the steep loss.
