EpicDuel Delta Evolution 1.4.2a - Friday, February 10
- Drip Drip Drop!
- Starting on Friday, EpicDuel will feature PvP drops. Essentially, every PvP battle in EpicDuel will work like an arcade battle, and every time you defeat one of your friends (or a complete stranger), you’ll have a chance at adding something nice to your inventory. It could be a weapon, it could be a gem, it could be a useless tin can... it is a mystery! Who knows what your opponents could be hiding?
- I would like to take this opportunity to address some questions I've been seeing about the new PvP drop system.
For this first iteration of the system, we will be releasing primarily low level weapons. Why add weak, lowbie items? EpicDuel is attracting more players than ever, but EpicDuel is a very, very complex game. Many players may duel for hours and not even realize that they can equip items like guns and bazookas, or that their default weapon can be sold for a new, shiny implement of doom. This drop system will make those first confusing few battles more exciting to new players and make it easier for players who are on a losing streak to reverse their fortunes.
Don't fret if you don't have any use for these weapons. You will still be able to sell them back for credits, and Titan has created a system that will be robust enough to offer hundreds of potential drop items for players of all levels to enjoy.
- Inventory Clearance
- We’re not implementing stackable items yet, unfortunately, but Mission Items like the Skull Card, or special items you get for missions will no longer count toward your inventory space. This should benefit players, especially low-level non-varium players who have had to find ways to clear out enough space for mission items. With gem drops, one could stockpile a little treasure with this update...
- The Realtor
- We’ll be making improvements to the Housing system in EpicDuel, starting with the presence of a Realtor. Due to the increase in the housing market since the Exiles started returning to Delta V, there is an increasing demand for Realtors, who are able to lead customers through the benefits and risks of purchasing real property. One man, known simply as Mr. Alexander (or “Raymus” as it says on his deskplate) has stepped up to the challenge. Visit his office to learn more!
- Because the PvP drops have eaten up so much of our time, we didn't have enough left over to implement our housing changes. This means that Mr. Alexander will be sidelined until next week.
- Heartbreaker Continued
- We’re not continuing the Heartbreaker Saga this week, but be prepared for new faces (maybe someone who the exiles can use to their advantage?) and more chances to use that infinite mission item inventory space!
- Hidden Arcade
- One of the advantages of having a feature-rich, complex game like EpicDuel that we have THOUSANDS of lines of code that we can potentially improve upon or recycle. Sometimes this is easy, sometimes this is impossible and requires the old code to be thrown away and rewritten. In this case, we were able to use much of the old arcade code to help us build the PvP drop system. It doesn't work exactly like the arcade, but there are many similarities.
You may notice that the arcade pods scattered across Delta V were deactivated or removed from many screens. This was done because had to remove the old arcade code to make way for the new PvP drop system. The advantage is now there is no limit to the prizes we can offer, and all the chances to win will be completely FREE!
This also means that the prizes of the Hoverbike and Assault bot will be reassigned to the PvP drop system in the next update.
