ED isn't dying because of bio beasts

quote:

So then the staff brought in legendary ranks another form of power creep that didn't really match enhancements , The ones that had already gone were never coming back, The ones that stayed were happy with the removal to some extent of power creep , Ranks upset the people we still had playing , In the hopeless cause of getting old people back.

The game was always going to be a tiny game with p2w....it didn't have a future , Omega was a opportunity , There were a lot of balance problems but even still . They had started to head the right direction . Then they added ranks , Game over.

quote:

Im in no way bashing the devs BUT how could you put all your focus on a mobile game that isn't unique while leaving a dying game with alot of potential left to completely die off?

quote:

Now there in a really difficult position , They remove ranks or the pvp advantage , They lose a good chunk of the few people still playing, They don't and the game will fizzle out.

Q: Why BioBeasts?
A: For our first mobile project, we felt it was crucial to use a character people could recognize from EpicDuel while retaining the same spirit of battle and progression. At first, we thought of having a human player fighting hordes of enemies, but that has been done to death. Then we thought, “Why not turn the idea around? Instead, let the player be the beast!” Since EpicDuel already has a robust collection of creatures and mutants ripe for exploration, this was an easy decision.

Q: Why Mobile?
A: The past few years have seen a steady decline in browser games of all sizes. Adobe’s decision to pull support from Flash forced Artix Entertainment to pivot towards mobile gaming for future products. Console games, with high barriers of entry, would not be a viable alternative. This transition has been very difficult as training all artists and programmers in a completely new development environment is time consuming. However, such training is essential for the sustainability of the company. Our games will only get better and bolder with time.

Q: Why are you developing this and not EpicDuel 2 or EpicDuel Mobile?
A: Since the EpicDuel team is still very new to Unity, we decided to develop a small-scope mobile project to learn the basics of the platform. So far, we like what we see. Unity is far more powerful than Flash ever was and we’re learning more every day.

A project of the scale of EpicDuel 2 would be a monumental task. By focusing on a smaller project, we can avoid scope-creep and work through the entire process from conceptualization to a public launch quickly, building our team’s confidence toward larger projects.

Now this doesn't have to be. All the devs have to do is completely rework each class to be unique while at the same time being able to compete with each other. I guarantee that this would breathe life back into the game. At this point, what else is there to lose?

quote:

Making a class unique isn't just about giving it a specific type of identity in terms of what it's good and isn't good at and stuff. The first problem with trying to make classes "unique" through that method is without careful consideration it actually just limits builds and creates "optimized" builds for each class that best fits their role. This is one factor to worry about out of several of them. For example, another thing to consider when making new skills and reworking classes is whether or not the class/skill is actually satisfying to use. Does it have the appropriate amount of interactivity and will it feel impactful when the player uses it? Basically, what I'm saying is that even if you think it's already hard to do, it's probably at least 5x harder than what you think it is. Player psychology and tons of other factors go into reworking stuff entirely like that.
