Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview

The War for the Biological Preserve is well underway and it's still too close to call. The Exiles have a slight lead, having already taken out a Legion Purifier. Remember, with scores as close as they are now, every player can make a difference! Everyone receives war drops just for participating in PvP battles so be sure to use them well!

Artix Anniversary Event Wrapup!
Monday, November 17th we will be removing the Coffee Crusader mission chain PERMANENTLY. This means that the Omni Knight Blade and Titan's Mug will be rare, much like the anniversary weapons and achievements that came before. If you still haven't completed the Coffee Crusader mission chain, there's still time! Those who already have Titan's Mug can take their time redeeming the Mug for the rare achievement in Caffeine Crash mission chain.

New Home for the Holidays!
Nestled in the Frysteland Wilderness, these Frysteland Yurts will be available on Monday through a small update.

This modest home will be the basis for an upcoming contest. More details about that will be unveiled at a later time.

Frozen Fury
The cold winds of Frysteland are chilling all of Delta V, and that can only mean one thing...an EPIC Winter Event! We're already hard at work to make this upcoming event one to remember!

For years, Frysteland has been the focus of Legion and Exile conflict, with the region's control in flux over the years. Alydriah has never forgiven Legion Commander Edgar Boothe for his lack of devotion to her ideals of discipline (i.e. refusing to order public executions for littering). Boothe may feel a soft spot for his native Krampus people, but he believes firmly that the benefits of Legion order and technological progress can enhance their lives immeasurably. Alydriah won't let this perceived mercy go unpunished, but the ever-watchful Endless has stayed her cybernetic hand...until now.

Insane treasures await you in the coming months as EpicDuel prepares for its biggest event in ages! Prepare for Frozen Fury!

Yaay, more weapons and not a word about balance -.-




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/14/2014 15:26:10)

Only because it's not been mentioned, it doesn't mean balance isn't worked on. There are different teams focusing on different aspects of the game - testing, balance, writing, and art. Promising any sort of updates in the past (and then delays), didn't go down well with the players - one of the reasons DNs are now released on Thursdays/Fridays, when we know for sure what will be released.




Exodasbr -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/14/2014 16:58:25)

Is that the future promo? , It seems decent from the shape, but I miss swords, we've had too many scythes recently in my opinion.




Mother1 -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/14/2014 17:32:37)

I just finished getting the titan's mug cheevo for all my accounts and thanks to all the PVP missions I was able to get them 3 of them to the second tier and 1 to the third. Though I have a feeling legion might win this war.

Exile made the grave mistake of going after the Standard instead of the finisher and with no war rallies happening due to how close it is?

i get 28k of influence in a recent war and 1k during this and it does not affect in anyway the war bar. weird, isn't it?




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/14/2014 17:39:13)

Influence Bar is refreshed periodically, not in real-time.




dfo99 -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/14/2014 18:07:18)

yes, i know. but it don't answer nothing.




WhiteTiger -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/14/2014 22:02:42)

@dfo99 What Trans is saying is that the influence you are contributing to the war is being added to the war bar score, but due to the fact that the war bar is refreshed periodically, you may not see your influence being added to the war bar.

Rayman -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/18/2014 17:50:13)

If That quote had Big Balance Changes Coming I Would of started Criying.
And for The Cores In the works I hope that these new cores are not only the new Promo Cores.




doomkiller98 -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/18/2014 19:12:19)

Fact of the matter is they need to release cores And fix balance.
NOT promo cores!!!
And NOT tiny balance updates that don't do crap. (the tiny balance releases that they release just to make it look like their at least doing something)

Oh boy wheres Xendran at.

Would love to see what these new cores are......here's probably one of them! Seems like its got something to do with the Yeti Hulk, perhaps?
Always excited for new chain missions, I just hope we're rewarded handsomely just like we've been in the recent past. But what has really caught my eyes is this -> 27 days of prizes. I wonder whether it has something to do with the daily quests or maybe prize codes instead?

@ Doomkiller98

Huge balance changes can be just as bad if the flaws within the update aren't taken care off. Look at the passive to active change for example. That wasn't small no way no how. However, due to the previous change of adding costs to cores, along with most of the active passives now costing energy it has put extreme strain on energy to the point where many of the builds before are hardly usable due to this.

Personally I would rather small ones that have all the bugs worked out than big ones that have flaws that wreak balance even more.




Ranloth -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/19/2014 7:47:15)

There are cores planned on top of the promo ones, so it won't be just the promos getting cores. Besides, after a year, anyone can get these cores too, so it's only temporary lack of cores - if we look at the promos only, not in-game ones. We're all aware there's a lack of in-game cores, but it was said many times that they aren't easy to create, hence why promos are getting them the most. In a few weeks, you'll see more Blood Hawk items being used since they are going to return and have a Credit option. General variety should increase, for those who don't buy promos.
Likewise with big balance changes. Major ones like removal of passives, or adding costs to cores, won't be happening anytime soon. Doing major changes, without fixing smaller ones first, only creates more issues. Right now, balance between classes isn't all that bad; TLMs could use some spicing up, CHs seem to be doing well after the latest SC buff, etc. Objectively speaking, that is.

Also, a small pool for you guys: http://strawpoll.me/3017098
We're planning ahead with the releases, and want to expand on a few more NPCs sometime after Christmas (since the Winter Event takes priority). Daily Missions will also be looked at, in terms of more chains and buffing up their rewards - especially since mission rewards have been increased, compared to around a year ago.




SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/22/2014 2:40:49)

Those are some cool frosty weapons there. And on a side note. WT an ArchKnight!!! Neat bro! :)




doomkiller98 -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/24/2014 10:53:06)


@mother

Since my last post got deleted i'll put it this way, Where in my post did I say "HUGE balance updates"?

Passive to active was not a good example of a bigger balance change cuz it wasn't even a good idea.




TankMage -> RE: =ED= November 13th, 2014 - Frozen Fury MMO Event Preview (11/24/2014 12:30:21)

Quick reminder this is not the balance forum and as these design notes don't mention changes there's no need to turn this into a balance discussion thread.
