Aphrodite's Woe

It's that time of year again. A time for love. A time for romance. A time for battle! Join us for today's release as we unveil the most diabolical Heartbreaker weapon yet! Visit the Alydroid in Alydriah's Spire in Fortune City to collect the mightiest Valentine's swords yet conceived: Aphrodite's Woe! Marvel at Revontheus' intricate attention to detail as you smite your foes with the Mark of Azrael core!

When we go live, we'll also be restocking any LQS items that are empty so be ready to jump on that opportunity!

But...as they say in the game show biz...that's not all!


No Place Like Home
We've attacked the Home Inventory Manager and blown it to bits! From the ashes, we've reassembled a better, stronger, faster interface for more easily browsing Home Items for sale as well as Items in your own inventory. You will also be able to filter Home Items by category. We are able to expand this system in the future to more granularity in categories for faster searching.
[img]http://www.epicduel.com/images/cms/new_home_interface_dns.jpg[/img]
You may also notice that you can now see your current balance of Credits and Varium! It's useful to know how much money you have when you're shopping, no?

We've done away will the separate "Selling" mode in the Home Inventory Manager. Now, you will be able to sell items from your own inventory quickly and know the sellback price at-a-glance!

In addition to sprucing up the interface, Titan has made some excellent performance improvements to the Home Item inventory, allowing items to load faster and permitting you to cycle through the list unimpeded.


Heartbreak Stylin'
While Titan tackles the Home Inventory Manager, Rabblefroth is attacking the style changer. We've removed the clutter and brightened the background to give your character some room to breathe!
[img]http://www.epicduel.com/images/cms/new_style_change_dns.jpg[/img]
Also, to eliminate confusion, we're removing the nominal 100 Credit fee for style change. Now, once you own a style, you'll never need to pay for it again, even if you change your colors!

Speaking of styles...how about 24 dapper, new Heartbreaker styles courtesy of Charfade?

vordalthe2nd -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 15:43:04)

ehh, the only thing on my mind right now is what the mark of azreal core is. I'm really not sure why there is no focus on balancing certain classes. i know its valentines day and all but there could have been some balance done on the side.



Mother1 -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 15:50:00)

@ vordalthe2nd

Mark of Azreal increase your chance to crit with strikes by 5%.

As for balance updates, you have to remember there are only 2 people doing balance, and 2 doing art. The staff is small, and to be honest I rather a content update myself rather than a bunch of band aid balance updates that do nothing more than change the flavor of the week builds.



Ranloth -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 15:50:01)

People seem to love fast balance changes, and then blame Devs for not putting effort into "fixing balance" because they go for poor band-aid fixes. People need to make their mind up. If you want major change to fix it once and for all, give it at least few weeks or so - weekly balance changes are small adjustments at most.

Also, you're mistaken that they work on one project at the time. Past 2 weeks have been improvements only, no new content. Y'know, they aren't given one project and stick to it until it's done. Priority list is also there for them, so ___ has to be done withing next x weeks, whilst ____ is low priority and has to be done within x months.

It can be seen as stalling to "keep players interested in ED because they can't do anything right", but minor features take less time to revamp and can be worked on alongside other major projects - so we won't end up waiting for the big one, and be left completely empty handed.



One Winged Angel1357 -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 16:03:32)

I was amazed to find that EpicDuel was updating just when I needed to log back in to finish my Mission Chain video. Well I guess it is time to give this update a quick review as well



vordalthe2nd -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 16:07:53)

@Mother1

I completely forgot that mark of azreal was that core.... kinda sad on my part. Anyways, what do u consider to be content because this is not really content, rather interface improvements.



Ranloth -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 16:18:26)

Content is new skills/cores, missions, for some it's coreless weapons and house items, and that's about it. Balance changes can fall under it, 50/50 on this, purely because it's a change (new) but still the same skill (old).

Scyze -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 17:22:03)

Thought they had long-term plans.

TMs are just a pain once again. Heal looping and they block a lot.



AQisFuN -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 19:13:45)

This is an utter disappointment. Why are the new weapons Varium only? Disappointment. [>:]



Mother1 -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 19:22:23)

@ Aqisfun

I think they are going in the direction of making certain art Varium only. It isn't like you can't get another item with the core it has for credits anyways, and since stat wise all items are the same I don't see why not.



AQisFuN -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 19:31:44)

The only reason I don't like this is because I saved up a heap of credits to buy two fully upgraded weapons. Anyways, got my Azrael's Borg! :D



Onlythestrong -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 19:36:01)

These past updates are so disappointed no ballace but have the time to add new sfuff and only for varuim.there is so much other things to do such as buff shadow arts or new core I can think of billions of other thing the update will bring but this really disapionted



Mother1 -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 19:45:40)

@ onlythestrong

and if they keep on doing balance updates without adding content the people who are looking for content will be disappointed as well. They have to do a mix of both, and with balance updates it is better to wait sometime and get a decent balance update than to do one every week and they are complete trash.

Most of these balance updates sadly only changed the flavor of the week builds which isn't balance but the same cycle that has destroyed many effective builds and is dragging the game into deeper ruin.

@ Aqisfun

I didn't like January 31 update myself because that one broke 2 promises the staff made to the players which was not to bring back old rares (AKA Azreal borg) and in the process devalued not one but 3 old rare items by changing their rarity from rare to limited rare.



Ranloth -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 19:48:52)

Maybe Devs have other ongoing projects, such as the War...? It seems like that is eating most of their time nowadays (major project), so they do minor projects to keep us busy until then - instead of leaving us empty handed. Did you forget how players complained for months about the Dread War? They are giving it a major revamp, to make it more fun and rewarding - and perhaps give it a decent story, at last.

Time is finite, not everything can be done. Coding new core shouldn't be difficult, but balance it poorly and people will complain how Devs are crap at testing and balancing. It's not coding which is an issue, but often balancing. Minor balance changes can be done on weekly basis, yeah, but perhaps they don't see them as necessary - players may be right, but Devs can't/don't see it, or simply disagree with us.

Until the War has been revamped, like players have wanted for months now, you should expect minor releases such as one last and this week. Perhaps minor balance changes, but something very small - instead of over/underpowering one class and making everyone flock to it.



Pemberton -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 20:52:46)

Nice art update. As for the game itself, not so much.

Oh? That is a disappointment. Which other 2 bots were those? Pyro Fly and...?



Mother1 -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/14/2014 21:39:15)

@ Aqisfun

Pyro fly and bio borg. When Azreal borg came back they change the rarity of not only it, but also the bio borg and pyro fly.



edwardvulture -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/15/2014 1:49:55)

That's nothing compared to selling frostbane because it was labeled seasonal rare.



Scyze -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/15/2014 6:47:24)

Is there lag in EpicDuel right now?



comicalbike -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/15/2014 7:37:23)

yes big time not worth playing most of the time hope it gets better



neo_manni -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/15/2014 9:45:09)

......went to where the valentines day stuff is I didn't see the new core there. is it coming out sometime this weekend? or did it get released somewhere else in the game?



Ranloth -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/15/2014 9:55:59)

Mark of Azrael is an old core, from last year. It's on the new Swords, just like it is on Azrael's Scythes.



Mother1 -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/15/2014 13:04:54)

@ trans

Actually mark of azreal isn't from last year. That core I think is actually 3-4 years old since the core first came out on the now rare azreal bane sword.



Drianx -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/15/2014 15:02:40)

Swords are ugly. Hairstyles are one meh (top hat), one ugly (duck).



CN2025 -> RE: =ED= February 14th, 2014 - Aphrodite's Woe (2/15/2014 20:19:10)

they are suppose to be silly
