You answered nothing from my question. Reason why it wasn't good either? I'm looking at your Business skills right now, so if you don't have any then I'd drop it here because you cannot state reasons as of why merge wasn't good either.

Weekly releases are a good thing, seen AQW or any other AE game? Surely small team makes it difficult but do-able. It's to entertain players and attract more to play the game - pleasing the customer encourages them to come back again and eventually invest. Business Studies. ;)
Server crashes are normal, it happens in AQW too and isn't always Dev's fault. Can happen randomly even I suppose.
Balance? Balance Team was made during late Gamma IIRC, that's early 2011 right? While ED was out for past 4 years instead. And bugs happen with every release almost, that's in all AE games as it's hard to spot every single one.

ashari, I've stuck around too.

Hopefully next they will start showing Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta appreciation. An upgrade to the Beta set, and a new gun/zooka for the other three sets might be nice. :)

Also, please try and get this topic back on topic (Sorry if this sounds mini-modding, but I felt I must post this part), the devs have support everyone in some way, whether you want to disagree or not. In December, the Devs gave everybody, varium and non-varium alike, 10 free inventory spaces. Not only that, but the game also has 2 hours of daily double EXP and double credits, whether the time schedule for that is tough to you or not, it benefits everyone and is due able by most players.

Finally, I'd like to note that the Founder Bike should just be available as stated in the design notes, to just founders. Founders are just like the upholders in AQW, the founders in this case are benefited for supporting the game at such an early phase, when no one really know which direction the game was going. I'd like to include that there are only so many founders left, and the bike has no beneficial impact on PvP. If you are going to try and say that it's unfair that founders get it for free, please read the second paragraph over again.

I hope this helps you understand the points easily,
Practel

im just mad that during "player appreciation week" ONLY founders get something awesome for free. Why not make another bike for EVERYONE else. I know bikes dont affect gameplay but still founders were appreciated TWO TIMES in a row. Just make us another bike please? not that much to ask....

But buffing the beta weapons might lower the "morale" of the gamma and delta players, and buffing the Delta weapons will lower the "morale" for players of the next phase. Seriously it's a game if you are so hurt when one player gets something and you don't then good luck outside of the game when a class mate gets a "A-" when you get a "B+" or when your coworkers gets a raise or promotion and you don't. Nothing in life is ever fair.

Luckily I've never gotten anything less than an A, so I doubt I will ever need to relate to that poorly constructed comparison.

Why is it that you are so opposed to non founders getting perks too? Are you so selfish as to think founders are the only game supporters that deserve any sort of love?

quote:

I've been seeing a lot of posts that are very hostile to founders and non-founders alike. Let me remind everyone that you shouldn't bash any group of players. I'll be removing quite a few posts that are on the verge of flaming founders.

I don't want to see any more of this behavior from here on out. I understand that some of you might feel like your missing out, but that does not justify attacking Founders and you will be receiving a warning if I see these types of posts again.

Founders and Elites are receiving the Founder Bike as gift for sticking around with EpicDuel for 3 years with the upcoming anniversary of EpicDuel's creation. The bike isn't something that will give anyone an advantage in battle like the Founder Armor did, instead it's just a cool item to show off you were here from the start. Most players don't wear Founder Armor anymore since it's outclassed by many other armors, but a bike can be shown off without hurting you in battle (or helping you either).

I'm sorry if you can't get this bike, but there will always be other awesome items and features released for all the Varium players in the future. The Founder Bike is just a show of appreciation for our most veteran players that have stuck around through all the highs and lows of EpicDuel. It may not be the gift everyone wanted, but it's a gift nonetheless, and the one that the staff felt was most appropriate.
