Patch Notes - 1.6.68
Features/Changes
  • NEW Limited Time Holiday Varium Package
    • 12,000 Varium + 3,000 Bonus Varium
    • “Epic Supporter” Achievement
    • Note: All players that have purchased $50 promo packages since Cyber Monday will automatically receive a bonus 3000 Varium per package they’ve purchased. Thanks for your support!
  • New Evolving Achievement: Candy Canes!
  • NPC Fill System
    • In order to ensure that players can always find matches, especially while leveling to 40, NPCs will now be automatically added to battles at intervals if a player cannot be found.
    • The system will pick a level-appropriate NPC to add to the match if a player was not found in a certain amount of time. In the case of 2v2 and Juggernaut, 1 NPC will be added at a time until the match is full.
    • NPCs level 37+ will not be added to battles, so players near/at max level should see less NPCs than lower level players
    • NPC AI has been improved to make better strategic decisions than before. Notably they can now heal allies and will generally try to attack the more appropriate target in 2v2s.
    • A number of NPCs had their level updated to make sure enough NPCs exist at every level.
  • Limited Rare automatic shipments
    • Non-Seasonal Limited Rares will now automatically be restocked every few weeks if depleted. Check NPCs with limited quantity items such as Charfade or Dage to see when the next restock will happen.

Game sucks. Buff BH. Buff BM. Make STR viable again. Nerf Merc Static + blood commander at least at high levels.

Make class specific weapons good.

Your puny fireball buffs won't do anything as long as strength is awful, the damage stays low, and class specific weapons are weak.




SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/13/2016 0:33:53)

I got the 3k bonus varium, but where's the achievement? I did not get the achievement!




WhiteTiger -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/13/2016 0:43:09)

^They did only say "All players that have purchased $50 promo packages since Cyber Monday will automatically receive a bonus 3000 Varium per package they’ve purchased.", nothing about retroactively giving the achievement as well.




SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/13/2016 1:23:04)

That makes no sense. If they're giving the extra varium then what's the problem with achievement? Even after buying dozens of packs they're still forcing us into buying another pack...pufff wow.




Xendran -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/13/2016 2:05:02)

To be honest, I'd have to agree with their call. While its best for the players for them to have also given the achievement, getting the varium strikes the right balance between player goodwill and business strategy.

The achievement is meant to be exclusive, for supporting during a specific period of time.
They felt that because of a lack of announcement beforehand, combined with the nice timeframe provided by gifting, that compensating players with the Varium was the right call.
It's a way to make players not feel scammed for buying Varium the day before, but still offering an exclusive reward that doesn't impact PVP for those who really want it.




SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/13/2016 2:11:57)

^Ya "nice call" if you don't care about the achievement or the game itself. Cheap shot.. pufff [:'(]




WhiteTiger -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/13/2016 3:16:53)

If you care that much about the achievement, then you should purchase the 15k varium pack to get it. Xendran did a great job of explaining why the decision the devs made makes sense. It's important not to confuse goodwill with entitlement, since that results in a flawed sense of thinking that every change must be applied retroactively.




Stonehawk -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/13/2016 18:26:44)

You should be happy for those 3k varium. The varium/credits I wasted on ranks when it was more expensive is gone, only the new players will unlock it for a lower price. Older players will be mad. I still think ranks shouldn't work this way, but affecting non-PvP stuff.

Also, as I mentioned, strength was first nerfed due to ranks making strike damage too high without needing to invest in strength. Now that ranks are "fixed" (not exactly), it's about time to fix strength again.




shadow.bane -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/14/2016 2:38:25)

@Stonehawk y can't say you wasted credits/varium on ranks when they were expensive and gone! Cause you took advantage of them while you had them and used them.




SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/14/2016 2:47:08)

You weren't the only one who unlocked legendary skills. We all spent 100's of k.




dfo99 -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/17/2016 23:32:11)

how much time is needed to the system add the first, second and third npc?




SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/18/2016 0:15:24)

1st one is added between 10-15 sec. Second one 25-30 sec.




Stonehawk -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/18/2016 7:36:39)

@shadow.bane
We were obliged to unlock them slots otherwise we are beaten by lower level with a FREE UNDERDOG BUFF. you think it's fair? Higher level has to use the money they hardly can afford with battles while lower level get a free buff?

@Soul Prisoner
I know I'm not the only one, I'm just showing how unfair it has been for lvl 40 and lower levels make our hard work be nerfed every time as if they should be stronger than us.




SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/18/2016 7:40:29)

ik, it's just that we're used to it by this point.




dfo99 -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/18/2016 18:57:24)

it seems the time for jugg matches, for 2v2 i wait several mins and there was no npc




Mother1 -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/18/2016 19:03:54)

@ Dfo99

They didn't add any level 40 NPC's for 2 vs 2 and seeing as there must be at most be a 4 level gap in 2 vs 2 it would be impossible for you get any NPC duels without at least one other level 40 on the other team.





SouL Prisoner -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/22/2016 9:58:12)

Just a small clarification. Epic Supporter achievement is only for 15k pack or any pack?




.Lord Ginger. -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/22/2016 10:00:16)

15k




Digital X -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/22/2016 10:30:44)

Can't find this candy cane achievement.. what section is it in?

So I'm just going to leave this link here and highly suggest people give it a read.

Xendran -> RE: =ED= Patch Notes - 1.6.68 - December 12th, 2016 - Discussion (12/22/2016 17:58:41)

If they take the lessons learned from BioBeasts and apply them to their next game, I'd say it has a pretty good shot at being a success.
