Dread War Aftermath

The Dread War is nearly over. What better way to relax from ceaseless battle than some fun new missions courtesy of Hank?! New missions, new items, and a POWER WEEKEND await for this upcoming release!

Easter Best
Our volunteers are hard at work learning the intricacies of Flash and they're ready to reveal the fruits of their efforts.

This sweet new armor is available as male and female neutral armors at Talia in Fortune City. Visit the style change module to complete the look with matching styles for all classes and genders.

There aren't any Easter bonnets in EpicDuel, but we DO have killer egg armors, doom bunny swords, and cybernetic, grenade-launching rabbits! Visit Xraal or Cinderella in the Biological Preserve to dress your Easter best! Go pastel or go home!

Trash Talk
The resources consumed by the raging war in the Dread Plains forced Fortune City to suspend sanitation services. This has turned the Delta V capital into a literal dump!

Visit Hank in Fortune City to help him clean up and make Delta V shiny and new so he can finish tinkering on a top-secret project.

Hank has a reputation for being stingy, but he loves his planet and city more than he loves cash so he's bringing extraordinary rewards. You won't believe the prize for completing the final mission, a collaboration between Charfade, Hatred Cuirass, and Assassin Order! Or maybe you will. I guess that depends how easily you're surprised. Like, did you know someone is behind you right now watching you read? No? Well, of course it moved! Anyway...

Map It Up!
[image]http://www.epicduel.com/images/cms/new_map_coming_soon_dns.jpg[/image]
Charfade is currently in the process of giving Delta V a MEGA facelift. That old map is going away. Prepare for the shiny newness! We will be incorporating the new map shorty after the next war region goes live.

Hey, now you can tell which region is which! It's not green and blue blobs anymore! PROGRESS!

Power Weekend!
[image]http://www.epicduel.com/images/cms/power_weekend_full_dns.jpg[/image]
Grab your Boost and your best gear and get ready to duel! Earn levels and Legendary ranks faster than ever with another POWER WEEKEND! Double XP and double Credits! You're probably asking, "But Nightwraith! How do I qualify?" All you have to do is login after our release tomorrow and duel your heart out! Tell your friends and your enemies...because you friends can help you beat them and stuff.

Duel ON and Happy Passover and Easter to those who celebrate!

halty -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/17/2014 22:46:02)

I think the reward for the Last mission in the chain is MORE Credits :P




Mother1 -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/17/2014 23:21:36)

Finally some new missions. Hopefully they won't be too many PVP missions in them, but if they are oh well.




DeathGuard -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 0:13:57)

My username has appeared twice in a row on DNs lol
Anyway I made some new aux: Red Devastator
Here is the aux in a smaller size

Thoughts?

DNs mentioned some prize Charfade did, I wonder what that is :O




Pemberton -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 2:10:58)

Nice map and nice designs, but I have no more credits...there is a bug and I don't earn credits even if i fight many times.
Also the credit rewards is too low, i am 37 but i cannot buy new designs and cores. Please fix this and give me 50,000 credits as compensation.




kaiseryeux21 -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 2:17:02)

pretty solid update. certainly kids will love it:-)

My guess for the reward for last mission is a BIKE.




Thylek Shran -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 9:17:48)

The revamped map looks nice but is also a signal that there will be no new regions for a long time.




Predator9657 -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 10:05:14)

Awesome update. Can't wait for the new missions!

@ Shran; Don't be so pessimistic :D




Mother1 -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 11:13:05)

This leaves me to wonder is the world cup cheevo coming to be added into with this update? Cause I know that time is coming up again.




Seteriel -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 17:14:34)

Fluffy update, i like the new armors. Also the mission chain had the right mix of questing and fighting. Thanks for that ! [:)]

Have to confess though that balancing was on my wish list. Especially matchmaking - the differences between the ranks are too high (not to mention between ranks and lvl 38-39 players). Hopefully the chill out time between the two wars will live some fixing and/or rebalancing.




Thylek Shran -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 17:46:51)

^
I hope so too as the Dread War 2.0 chain events keep the devs very busy.
The new armors look really great.




edwardvulture -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 18:08:50)

I really do not want to fight another war with this balance but ofc I'll fight till I get over the war prize threshold just a bit or to a rank. I finishes w/ about 3000 inf. On my tm.




overdead -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 21:19:04)

Awesome release. Was hoping for another package though.




RageSoul -> RE: April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/18/2014 23:11:58)

2x Credits on the whole weekend ? BRB , gotta 4-Turn Bio Hazards till i drop!


But seriously , a good release though :)


About balance , any news about Rage revamps or changing Stat Progressions on the 4 stats ( STR , DEX , TECH and SUPP ) and stuff?




Mother1 -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 2:48:38)

Th war is over. Exile won and as for the prizes if you are non varium you can't claim the prizes since they cost varium.




GearzHeadz -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 2:53:55)

Yeah... No cutscene or anything. I was hoping we would get one... Especially to find out about that project "Resurrection" having to do with the infernal mines and the androids... Oh well, just another plot hole or missing story bit I guess?




Elloisoul -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 3:03:11)

GEE i saved up 60k from fighting in this war and fought hard just to find out that if your a Legion i have to buy the chest for varrium , gee thanks ED your really a *Genius*




GearzHeadz -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 3:06:58)

It's all about the money.

Noticed the gear rewards look just like versions of the sword from the dread plains and the fortune city gear looks like versions of its sword. So all regions gear will probably have art similar to the regions sword.




overdead -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 5:16:33)

Which is the most sensible thing to get? I'm eyeing on the arcade tokens.




RageSoul -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 5:23:18)

Rewards are Varium-priced ... not surprised there . I already knew it's Frysteland War all over again minus the NPCs .




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 7:10:41)

So, there's an issue with Legion rewards costing Varium? Y'know... you should've won instead, and had a chance to claim them for free instead. Exiles can do it, and after claiming one of the rewards, their weapons also cost Varium.

Devs DID say they will be available for purchase, but more expensive (than free). It's a standard price for mutating weapons anyway. I think players would complain even more if there was no Varium option for the Legion players, because they just fought for absolutely nothing (but Influence). Besides, they are coreless weapons. You're paying for unique art, nothing else.

Can't please everyone. Either complain that you must pay Varium because you've lost, or be happy there's anything for the losing side. As I've said already - more complaints would appear if Legion got absolutely nothing. But of course, it's all about the money for the Devs.
In fact, making the game more F2P was also more about the money + losing players. I'm sure loss of players + less money being spent on Varium = them wanting more money. And I won't mention how often Varium weapons were released in the past, and there were only complaints from F2P players instead. Now, it's the second weapon set being purely Varium, after the BloodHawk promo during Winter.




RageSoul -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 7:15:48)

@Trans
No i'm not complaining , i'm just disappointed that instead of making the efforts of either side more worthwhile , the losing side got their time unsatisfactory

But either way , i don't really care about the wars .




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 7:20:43)

Post wasn't aimed at anyone. Just in general. And I'm sure there will be more people disliking this, as they log in today.

And no rewards would just make it worse. That's the whole PvP Wars concept to blame, because you can only really award one side fairly, whilst other may have some strings attached - i.e. Varium cost.
I dislike Wars too, especially when I'm forced into PvP and not have any other alternative to support them, fairly and without spending lots of Varium. For that reason, I barely play on alts and I'm semi-retired.




RageSoul -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 7:24:04)

@Trans
Well i wished in the next one , they make it similar to Infernal Infiltration kind ; P2W requires more effort and it involves NPCs ( but lower Influence gain ) .




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= April 17th, 2014 - Dread War Aftermath (4/19/2014 7:29:20)

I suggested that too, and would love if they put it in-game. NPCs is what got me to L40, and with broken PvP, I just can't stand Wars. And I refuse to change classes just to be able to play.

With 100 NPCs cap, they can make level-appropriate NPCs, and lower the chance to drop Bombs - compared to 1v1. This way, we could get some rewards from battles, 100 wins a day only, and some Bombs to help. If that won't happen, I'll just fight for that 150 Influence and get my easy rewards, for all I care.
