@soulprisnerx, It has been stated since the DNs came out that there would be a LQs restock on Friday.

quote:

LQS Restock

As stated in last week's DNs, we plan on restocking the Telsa and Lady Tesla Armors once again with the new release on Friday. This restock will be small, but we'll try to give everyone who missed out on it last week a chance to grab it! This is the last guaranteed restock. After this weekend, restocks, if they happen, will be very small and entirely random. We want to provide a fair chance to as many players as possible to grab the LQS items, but we also want to retain rarity and value of the item for those who were lucky enough to grab it immediately.

Why is everyone so cranky? Instead of beating down Cindy, the one person who actually talks to you and apologizes, why don't you thank her for time and just let it go. The update will take a bit longer, so what. Just go play and when it comes it comes. Seems like the same players who complain the update didn't happen today will be those players complaining when it does come out. Give it a rest will you.

@andy123: SO? So you have to wait another week? SO? Give it a break. Go play the game and stop complaining. That goes for all of you, play the game and stop whining. It's getting out of hand, it's not productive and it's more hurtful then helpful.

I'm sure you are correct, I do not have the same experiences as some of you. I seem to be able to build winning builds for every class despite all the troubles you all claim to have.

I do have to apologies though. I have just been told that it is unhealthy to stop a child from crying. Apparently you have to let a child cry to vent its frustrations or it will become antisocial or at least that is what I have just been told. I, thus, retract my previous statement and encourage you all to vent your frustrations as freely as you wish. My bad, sorry for the confusion.

Constructive!

It was a wacky day of updates. To be honest, it was a lot of fun. I am happy Charfade did have a restock.

The issues I have noticed with the gender armors are getting are not the appropriate ratio of what will sell and what will not in regard to community need.

As many suggested limited time would deal with this issue over quantity. Or maybe sell Armor token, and let the player redeem it for the appropriate gender armor.

I have already adjusted my build for the update, and it has been fair. Competed well in some areas, and more practice/adjustment in others. Never the less, it has been fun.

For The Record...

I Think Using "Twitter' As The Primary Means To Communicate Things Like Updates And Restocks Is Insane And Ridiculous.

The Source Of That Info... Should Be Design Notes/Home Page #1. "Official" Game Forum # 2.

Forcing Players To Check/Click/Refresh/Subscribe To Twitter In Order To Receive The Latest News Is Beyond Unprofessional For A Premium Money Charging Game.

Secondly, What I Find Amazing, Is The Lack Of Being Able To Simply Post A Time (For Example 6:00pm Eastern USA Time) And Have That Be Set...In Advance, So Players Know.

'Ready O' Clock' Is Not Actually A Time In Reality. It Reeks Of Poor Mangement And Exposes The Last Minute Nature Of The Staff's Work And Plans.

I, Personally Have All The Charfade Items/Lady Tesla's I Need, On Both My Main And My Alts, So This Behavior Did Not Effect Me...BUT...

The Above Really Needed To Be Mentioned...Again.

AQW ~ Announces A Set Time Of Every LQS They Release. As Well As How Many Will Be Available Of Each Item, Usually Days In Advance.

That's A Pro Run Game. It Can't Be That Hard For ED To Do The Same....Yet, Time And Time Again...Look At The Chaos And Surprises.

So, give it a break?? I have been giving it a ' break '... 3 Weeks now to be exact
For the amount of money I have ' pumped ' into this game, I have the right to complain and be unsatisfied about the lack
of balance in this game. You are a BH, Try being a BM or a CH for a change if you think you can make 95% winning builds for
those 2.

^Chill Andy 95% is unrealistic. If it was really 95% it has to be eventually nerfed. Since most other classes are not in one on one anymore, the tact mercs will also be unable to have 95%.

Honestly, this is the truth.

A real professional mmorpg tells their consumers when something is gonna be release at the estimated time/day and they usually use their "home page" as a to communicate thatand stay consistent, so that they can meet the needs of all their players.

Out of all the Atrx Entertainment games, Epicduel is like only game that doesn't follow this protocol.

Instead we have them randomly just posting on twitter," oh btw if your looking at this twitter post, charfade is restocking", which means unless you justed happened to be looking at Titans twitter page at that random time during the day, you would have lucked out on getting the goodies.

Then they have the nerve to tell us they told us in advance.....gtfo!!!!

Like seriously, im trying and see if can just contact Artixt Games and complain because...

1)They need staff to help bout the current coders at Epicduel and its just way too laggy

2)The Balance system fails in Epicduel because there really isnt no combat triangle which "most" games have in place to counter imbalance

3)This games updates needs to be waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy more organized...

@Above, and who he quoted: The updates can't be more organised because the thing is, it is impossible to know exactly when a release will be released, unless it's all ready to be released when the time is set. It's not true that EpicDuel is the only game, because I know for a fact that 'When it's ready O' Clock' is a term used by Cysero almost every time he is asked when an AQW release will be.
The truth is, when the release is ready, it needs to go through testing, it's impossible to predict what bugs will show up, or how long it will take to squish them. So an exact time is pretty much impossible to give.
The LQS armors release time, and restock times have actually been said before it happened the last few times, so you can't complain at that. Sometimes it is not said here, but that's because it's a lot easier to announce on Twitter.
Now you may say Twitter is a completely unprofessional way of communication, but it is actually the best way of communication. The fact is, a lot more people actually check staff twitters, than they do here - Twitter is a quick, easy way to communicate with players. Who says you need to sit refreshing? Because Twitter for one, tells you when a new tweet is up, without you refreshing - and two it's not hard to sign up for a twitter account, it's not a must have, it's an OPTIONAL way to have constant updates on what is happening. There was quite a clever topic on here that had all the staff tweets as they came posted in by members, so non-twitters could just check here.
One final thing is, you have to check here, and the Design Notes in the same manner any way. The same thing could be said about these, do you have to sit refreshing the DN's or the forums for new posts? No - Same with Twitter, and as I said, Twitter even tells you for you when a new tweet is up, unlike the forum and DN's, so in that sense, Twitter is much more convenient...

Ok, here is an idea that I will post in suggestions but also here since it should contribute to this discussion.

What if instead of releasing an update as soon as it is finished the Devs let everyone know a time they will actually put in the update (through twitter, facebook, DNs, wherever). So lets say Titan is done coding the last LQ item on friday and instead of releasing it right then he gets his public speakers to announce a date on saturday or sunday so people have a definate time and the release can happen at that time.

This would mean updates not coming in as often or as fast, but at least there would be no complaining about it being unexpected.

What You Said Is ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. Seriously. Are You Kidding Me?

And I Quote:

>>> "I know for a fact that 'When it's ready O' Clock' is a term used by Cysero almost every time he is asked when an AQW release will be."<<<

EVERY AQW Limited Quantity Shop Release Is Announced Days Before The Release And Is Given An EXACT Time Of Launch.

In Addition, Pictures Of All Items, Their Cost And The Number Available Are Listed....DAYS Before The LQS Release.

Would You Like Me To Provide You Links To Their (AQW) Design Notes Proving That?

Stop Making Excuses.

The thing is with that - though it is a very good idea - Saturday and Sunday are the only two days all of us as staff, of course Titan, NightWraith and Charfade in particular. After releases the devs always have to stick around for an hour or so after, to make sure no bugs have got through etc.
If yesterdays release was released today, Titan's whole weekend would have been taken up with fixing stuff...
Plus people get very annoyed when the releases don't come ASAP, and that's why they are released ASAP - we did try announcing a time a while back, but it just had people complaining releases were taking too long...

@Buffy: I wasn't talking about LQS's in that part, in all honesty, our LQS system does need work - that's a fact. I also know AQW do there's by announcing everything a few days before. I was talking about in general, AQW does release when ready, not by a set time - I know this because I have played AQW since it was first released.

restock times, only one time was announced that was the 8pm time last Friday but it happened at 7:57pm not 8pm.
The earlier times of 2pm and 1pm was never announced. They got players use to 6pm and 7pm updates then a so called update that was not an update happened at 5pm.

With servers you can set the time of release even write in the program so don't play us like fouls and tell us the exact time is impossible to give because it can be set at 6pm or 7pm every Friday that way they have the whole week and all of Friday for coding and testing.

We kept asking all week what time will the armors be release but no response.
