Hi all :) Its the first time I write here myself. Before I only read whats new and what people think about this game. But this update made me say some. I started playing Epic Duel some time ago and brought a lot of people here cause the game had a good balance and latest since the new classes came it was worth spending some cash on it and leaving all the other good projects. Just to say it, no I am not always tac merc ;) I changed classes a lot and my favourite class was tech mage. No matter what class I played there was always a good chance to beat any other class, even those so called over powered mercs. No here came the update: I logged in tried a few fights as merc,but it was no fun at all, as there is no balance anymore, so I tried a few other builds,but same thing. Than I switched to bounty, same there, the fun is just out as the balance totaly broke, so I switched back to merc, still no change. What makes me think the balance broke you ask? 1. before we had those updates I played 2 vs 2 a lot. Usually there are quiet unfair teams as one side usually has a lower level,but there was still a chance as a good heal could help the weaker team survive and the fights were always fun. Now when you have a lower level its a loose by at least 80% as the lower level has no chance to do a proper heal, you also can`t do anything as your heal is also nerfed. 2. Since one of the last updates the damage from lower levels is nerfed, means if you have a low level on your team, you don`t just have a dissadvantage in healing,but also in damage. So its not a a game of skill anymore, its just luck to be on the side with the higher levels. Maybe thats good for some causal gamers who are fine with a 50% win ratio and they might not even see a real differents, but if you try to get a good game record its no fun at all anymore. No tactic,just luck. I know it was a bit luck before too but now you can say which team wins when the game starts. I don`t like to be the one flaming here, I think its just sad that this game tuned ( in my eyes) the wrong way, breaking down any balance this game had. I talked to a lot of friends already and I know that many good and well known players are thinking about leaving this game already, so do I. Maybe the idea to get any class closer to each other was fine and some things you guys did was quiet ok, but the healing thing is defenetly something thats gave the players here a slap in the face. Yours Nessa Telperi Since this is about the update, merged into the Design Notes thread. There are plenty of topics already where you can discuss this update. ~Ashari
