Dawn of Delta V
M4tr1x, the sentient AI interface that inhabits the Overlord Facility, is fully online and ready for battle! Complete her tasks to learn more of the storied past of Delta V, including Baelius' rise to power (missions written by Ranloth). Challenge her Legendary form for a new Legendary Boss achievement and a M4tr1x Token that can be used to access her shop with great new items crafted by Hatred Cuirass!
Be warned: she possesses the combined battle data of a billion battles so she won't be a pushover!
Visit the style shop to try on some new CC M4tr1x styles! The hair is so luxurious! What's a good conditioner for hair tentacles?
Rares Return
Independence Day rares have reappeared on the Overlord Guard in the Overlord Facility. The Independence Day Achievement is also available form the Achievement Shop!
Power Weekend!
Since this weekend is a holiday weekend for many of our players in the USA, it's time for another EpicDuel Power Weekend! Get double experience and credits all weekend long! This is a great way to build Legendary ranks quickly and dominate your foes. This will be especially useful if rain puts a damper on your BBQ and fireworks-related plans this weekend.
Bot Busting
Bots have been a problem for awhile in EpicDuel, and with this release, we are implementing a countermeasure to remove the incentive for botting. This countermeasure will also flag botters in our database so we will be able to track who is using bots and how often they do it. We want battles to be fun and fair for everyone, and botting disrupts that fun both for the botter and for anyone who encounters a bot. Hopefully, this feature will make EpicDuel dueling a more enjoyable experience for everyone!

Bido Has Arrived!
The adorable android Bido has finally arrived on Delta V! Well...technically. He's still hanging out in the Afterlife (accessible from Frysteland), but he's SUPER curious about all these humans running around and dueling each other. He knows the quickest way to a human's heart is food, but new weapons are also a big draw to the combative citizens of Delta V.
Visit Bido, floating casually on a piece of broken Void rock, and investigate his brilliant shop packed with amazing items!
Bido knows what humans like, and he knows they love the thrill of battle! Help Bido enjoy that same thrill by bopping him on his shiny round head with your new Heavy Katanas! Bido is withholding a couple weapons for himself. Through enough battle, you may be able to "persuade" him to drop them for your use.
Help Bido get in touch with his human side and learn about the world beyond the Void through a series of new missions with spectacular rewards! Plus, be sure to claim the Bido Breaker achievement for besting the runty robot in battle!
Home Sweet Bido
Bido is also bringing a hearty bounty of new home items for your enjoyment! Stock up on katana displays, dragons, and bobbleheads to really help tie that Frysteland Yurt of yours together.
Void Essentials
During the Frozen Fury event, we offered a mission chain that allowed players to use the gifting system to obtain ingredients for the very powerful Endless Armor. After gifting was removed from the game and reincarnated as the Code system, the only way to obtain Void Shards was by purchasing directly. Many players hoped for a way to obtain the ingredients without outright purchasing them. To accomodate this request, we will be introducing a new ingredient: Void Essence
Void Essence, made from coalesced Void particles, can be collected from the level 35 Void Creature, the Void King, and Bido. This will give those who missed the Gifting event a chance to collect one of the most awesome armors in game!
If you're very close to unlocking the armor the old way, Void Shards will now be available as Silver Tier items form the Frozen Fury Arcade machine!
This Friday, Revontheus will be offering a new, full color custom version of the Limousine. It was a heady task to break this complex vehicle down to perform the color separations while maintaining the effects of the gradients (Rev loooooooves him some gradients).
We would like to extend a special thanks to RomanianMaster for suggesting this. He will be receiving his own in-game as soon as the release goes live! I hope to see some trendy duelists cruising around Delta V in style!

VelocityAE - NEW MOBILE GAME!
Retro Arcade Game Made in a Day
If you thought Flappy Bird was hard, you gotta try this app. It is hard, retro, hard, simple and super hard. Lasting 10 seconds pretty much means you are a gaming god. Tell you what. Get over 1,000 points and the entire internet will bow down before you claiming you are the ultimate gaming god of the universe.
Hurl down a wormhole in an 8-bit spaceship… that has a proven track record of exploding… in this retro arcade runner (technically speaking, a space-time continuum flyer). Your only goal is to survive as long as possible. The longer you last, the faster you go, and the higher your score climbs.
Simple, right? HA!
Survive breakneck turns as you dash through geometric wormholes that will shatter your spaceship — and hopes of a high score.
Luckily for you, you have infinite lives (and, apparently, an amazing mechanic), so you can replay the game without hesitation or remorse for the rocket you just destroyed seven seconds earlier.
This ridiculously hard twitch game was created as an overnight project by Rolith and the CRIT Team at Artix Entertainment. May you enjoy countless hours of frustratingly, addictively-beautiful space-travel with VelocityAE!
Share Your High Scores!
If you think you can beat my high score, or Cysero's, or Rolith's - show us! VelocityAE is up on the iTunes App Store and Google Play store right now.
Please show Rolith and his hard work some love by giving VelocityAE 5-stars and help us spread the word, then tweet screenshots of your runs to Rolith, Artix, Korin, or Cysero!
Rolith's Surprise Mobile Game Release: The Story
So it should come to no surprise that Rolith decided to make a game in his spare time... because, funsies. So one night, Rolith started building something he was really passionate about (retro arcade runners), and 24 hours later… VelocityAE was born.
But before anyone could ask him why, Rolith quickly pulled aside Cysero and Korin, asking for their help to build some assets for his overnight game. Cysero whipped up the 8-bit artwork for the spaceships and Korin was on 3D mesh duty.
"Have you told Artix about your game, Rolith?" Cysero asked. "Um, No..." whispered Rolith, "Don't tell Artix about Velocity yet.
Finally Rolith approached Artix and said, "I know you got a ton of games coming out this summer, but what would you say if I had one ready to go…. right now?"
A skeptically-curious Artix was given Rolith's iPhone and he started playing. He died 3 seconds later. "Hard. Retro. ...and SUPER HARD!" exclaimed Artix as he spent the next 17 minutes replaying the game over and over again, trying to beat his high score. He didn't last longer than 10 seconds. "I love this! How long until we can release it for the players"
Rolith smirked. Artix went o_O, leaned in and asked, "Did you, uh… already submit it?" Rolith was taken aback. "Should I have waited?" "No, no…. this is great!" Artix reaffirmed. "At least you did not use your spare time to making another game about Ponies! Let it go live secretly, we can make fixes and then tell the whole world about this!"

Rise of the Underworld
This Friday, get ready for a heavy dose of EpicDuel lore! Guest Writers Silver Sky Magician, One Winged Angel, and Ranloth have crafted several harrowing mission chains focusing on some of EpicDuel's more obscure characters: Mort, Anya, and Zedmyr!
In addition to new missions offering killer rewards, you'll be able to unlock 4 new achievements for defeating Mort, Zedmyr, Anya, and Mirv. If you're really persistent, you'll be able to claim Zedmyr and Mort's rifles for your very own!
Now, I'd like to leave you with a lovely bit of prose created by Guest Writer Silver Sky Magician. Enjoy!
Zedmyr's Story
The world never changes.
It was all a lie. Delta V was never a paradise, not before the Banishment, not before the Uprising, not even before Baelius. Just ask a Marauder – it was always hell here. A little more contained, perhaps, a little more out-of-sight, but this fear, this despair, this cruelty – it was here from the very beginning.
Before Baelius, there were the natives. The ones I lived with were the Sae'ilians. Children of the sky, in their language, for their rich blue skin. Of course, back then the sky was actually blue...but I digress. The Sae'ilians were beautiful people, their voices music, their gaits a dance. Their paintings and sculptures so stirring and exquisite that thousands flocked to Delta V just to see them. Flowers even bloomed where they walked – no, really. They planted seeds everywhere. If you were an immigrant back then you'd have thought you'd died and went to heaven.
Then there was us. Those who weren't fit to enter heaven. The dirt under the carpet – the disabled, the discoloured, the disfigured. Abandoned from birth into the underbelly of society. Well, not entirely. They couldn't let us run amok, could they? Who knows what sorts of heinous crimes we could commit! Or worse, we might show our mugs in public. So we were forced to do the tasks too inelegant for normal people. Throwing out the trash. Maintaining the sewers. Cleaning up after the dogs. And in exchange we got the leftovers from their tables.
Some treated us as mysterious invisible forces who could compel them to move far away. Some – typically the children who hadn't learnt such sophistication – preferred abuse. Jeering at us, their voices music. Kicking our ribs, their gaits a dance. We couldn't strike back, of course. Everyone suddenly saw us then. Quite a few of us endured it with shame. When beauty is a virtue, ugliness becomes a vice. Who could protest against the actions of angels? The rest of us, though, were only too happy to follow the flip side of the Sae'ilians' logic. If we were born irredeemable criminals, why, should we not strive to achieve our manifest destiny?
I came onto their radar when I killed my parents and my lovely little sister one fine cloudless day. Or at least, I think I did. Couldn't really be sure who my folks were. Anyway, they hunted me down pretty quickly, but I escaped into the sewers. They didn't even try to follow me down. Too scared of the filth. So they sent the slaves after me, half of whom punched me in the arm with stupid grins. The rest pretended that they couldn't spot a hunchbacked shadow the size of three men. I went on the run after that, into the underworld where the real baddies thrived. Bashed my way up the ranks and made my name as a premium black market dealer. Added some melee weaponry and guns and sweet bazookas to my arsenal. But nothing could beat a brawl.
Then Baelius started tightening his fist around the planet. I was classified as a Marauder, to differentiate my kind from the hundreds of other categories of outlaws, like Rebel, or Bounty Hunter, or Artist. Bah, bureaucracy. Soon the Uprising was in full swing. Legionnaires torturing us, mowing us down. Exiles avoiding us like nuclear waste. Same old, same old, though it was a good deal more annoying this time. Never could sleep for long before a bullet buzzed past my ear. Soldiers smashed themselves into my fists like mosquitoes. All the fault of that Legion General, Kojimura or something. But that cursed lizard almost made up for all that with the greatest spectacle I've ever seen. Incinerated the Flatlands, ha ha ha, burnt up all the villages! Exposed it for what it really was – a hollow wasteland. I'd give him a friendly smack on the neck if Slayer hadn't already done it.
Most of the people escaped somehow. A flood of refugees, unused to anything but extravagance. The black market swelled and business boomed. Shoes that'll last more than a week? Ten thousand credits! A gun to protect your family? Fifteen thousand! Bullets sold separately, heh heh heh. Diapers? You're out of your mind, a hundred thousand if I ever come across one! Crime was no longer our exclusive domain – it surged out into the open like a plague. Neighbours tearing the clothes off each other's backs. Marauders competing through stabbing sprees. A Sae'ilian eating her pretty child, mouth stained an ugly purple.
I was an emperor and my kingdom was a junkyard.
Then he came, conviction in his stride and a man in an iron mask by his side. Walked straight up to me and offered to be partners in business. "I have secured a steady food supply to some refugees," he said. "But it will not last long. And food is not enough – we need medical supplies, radiation-protective gear, toiletries, shelters, security...we need your help. Your experience and influence in black market dealings. Your knowledge of the supply routes. Your combat skills for fending off Marauders. Together we can establish a safe haven, lead the way out of this hell. The Barrens will never again see its former glory while the war rages, but we can restore a spark of hope, a semblance of home. The Bazaar."
I don't remember having laughed so hard before. "Just what do I get out of this?"
"A new world." My smile faded and I fingered my gun.
"How do I know that I can trust you?"
His eyes flashed. "My family was killed by Marauders. And here I am, asking to work with you, and coming clean on top of that. That's the kind of trust I'm putting on the table. How much will you give?"
I gave him all of it there and then. It takes a madman to change a mad world.
Things improved beyond our wildest dreams. Within months the Bazaar was set up and the refugees had basic amenities. We even got electricity and water running – Ulysses, the masked man, could work magic with machines. The Marauders tried to wreak havoc, of course, but there was no one in the Barrens who could get past me. And that man, the new director of the Bazaar, made it all possible. People began calling him a god. He didn't like that at all, but the name stuck. Thousands flocked to him for a miracle.
The pressure got to him, and he started hiding away in Kojimura's fallen airship. Obsessed with bodyguards, even though he had me. Scrambled to accommodate the demands, the new refugees. He failed, of course, and commanded me to stand guard, keep them out of the Bazaar. Left on the edge of heaven by the man who saw I had a soul. I started killing more refugees than Marauders. Sometimes hundreds at once, when they tried a riot. But I stood firm and refused to stop believing. Not even when the saved stopped smiling. Not even when Ulysses left. Not until he told me to sell weapons to the Legion who expelled his family, so that they wouldn't interfere with the trade.
Business boomed. The refugees kept coming. Blood roiled like clouds in a thunderstorm.
The world never changes.

Power Weekend and Power Preview
It's time for another EpicDuel Power Weekend! Get double experience and credits all weekend long! This is a great way to build Legendary ranks quickly and dominate your foes. That buff will help prepare you all for another BIG update next week featuring backstory of some of Delta V's most mysterious figures: Mort, Zedmyr, and Anya!
Anya, Mort, and Zedmyr, OH MY!
Coming next week, a novella's worth of story is dropping in on EpicDuel as Ranloth, SSM, and OWA put their talents toward revealing the backstories of some of EpicDuel's most popular and mysterious NPCs! Why is Zedmyr so grumpy? Why does he look just like Mort? Are they related?
You'll also have an opportunity to test them in battle! Careful! Mort and Zed are tougher than they look!
Bido Preview
All those credits from Power Weekend will come in handy for Bido's upcoming showcase shop! You'll have a lot of loot to choose from including a host of primaries as well as sidearms and auxiliary weapons. This event will also reveal the origin of Bido and how he came to find himself adrift in the Afterlife.
BioBeasts Update
In a previous post we discussed enemy design in BioBeasts, but there's still much more ground to cover. At that point, our enemy behaviors were relatively simple; enemies would run towards you and attack. The difficulty variables were limited to the enemy health, speed, and spawn rates. Now enemies are finally getting interesting. Learn more about the strange and sinister foes you'll encounter in the latest BioBeasts Design Notes post!

Bido Showcase Preview
Hello, EpicDuelists! No release this Friday as we continue to stock up content and ramp up on BioBeasts. However, we do have a restock of all Limited Quantity Shops at 10 AM and 4 PM EST. If you don't know what time that is for your time zone, there are handy conversion guides available online. I will also likely Tweet before it is time. Getting the items before they're gone is hard for some, but such is the nature of the LQS. Good luck, and happy shopping!
Coming up in EpicDuel in the coming weeks is the next showcase shop featuring Bido (formerly Bidoof). This will feature, like Deuce's shop, a new NPC, new weapons, items, an achievement, and more! We've also got more missions from Ranloth, SSM, and OWA revealing the backstories of some of EpicDuel's most popular and mysterious NPCs! We've also got a Central Station war on the horizon which will be the final war in this cycle before we return, at long last, to the Dread Plains!
Join the BioBeasts Discussion!
Did you know the EpicDuel team is working on a new mobile game called BioBeasts?
You can learn more about it by check out the Official BioBeasts website or following the development process on Facebook and Twitter! The release date nears with every passing day, but it's not too late to join the conversation and contribute your thoughts to the development process! Who knows? We may use your beasts idea in game!

Epic Artist Showcase: Deuce
This Friday, we are excited to introduce our first in a series of artist showcase shops! This week, we'll be featuring Guest Artist: Deuce! This mysterious warrior, tired and weathered from years of torment and battle, recently arrived in a remote and forgotten portion of Delta V!
In the old, forgotten Minestation, Deuce wanders, looking for clues to his mysterious arrival and the cause of his lack of memories of his past.
Speak with him to assist him is a series of brutally challenging missions (created with the assistance of Guest Writer Ranloth) or partake in his shop of signature items. Deuce somehow found time in the Void to handcraft these items and they all reflect his unique style. At least, that's his story. He may have "borrowed" them from some fellow travellers in the Void.
If you're feeling tough, you can challenge Deuce to a 1-on-1 battle for new boss achievement!
He won't give up this achievement easily -- his mind may be clouded, but his skills in battle are razor-sharp! He may have a weakness, though.
Be sure to say, "Hi" to Deuce if you see his real persona in game.
Again, this is the first of several Guest Artist showcase shops this summer! Our Guest Artists and Guest Writers have contributed so much to EpicDuel since the programs inception. They make these releases with loads of quality content possible. It has been truly inspiring to watch their progress as artists and writers through the weeks, months, and (in some cases) years since they joined the team. We are truly thankful for all of their hard work and tireless dedication to building the world of Delta V!
Legendary Update Update
This Friday, we'll be tying up loose ends from the Legendary update with balance improvement, bug fixes, and a hearty update to the Legendary shops!

Live Now: EpicDuel Power Weekend! Get double experience and credits all weekend long! This is a great way to build Legendary ranks quickly and dominate your foes. That buff will help prepare you all for another BIG update next week featuring new items, NPCs, missions, balance changes, and bug fixes!
Legendary Update Update
Last week was a MAJOR update, but there are still items that didn't quite make it to the Legendary Shops. These items from Hatred Cuirass, Theon, and Assassin Order will be added next week!
We will also be addressing some lingering issues from the Legendary update, including bug fixes and further balance adjustments!
Deuce's Showcase
Next week we will also be introducing our first artist showcase featuring Guest Artist Deuce!
Look for his NPC in Delta V with a hearty stock of new Blade of Awe-themed items! He will also have some challenging missions to test your worth. Follow Deuce on Twitter for more previews of his spectacular showcase!
Triumph over Titan!
Last week we released the hardest boss in game: Legendary Titan. We honestly weren't sure if he was actually possible to defeat and the initial impression was that we possibly overshot his stats. As usual, you exceeded our expectations and brought the demi-god down! Congratulations to the following duelists who claimed the Legendary Titan achievement with their incredible combat prowess!
Who will be the next player to knock the god off the mountain? Will it be...YOU? *points*

This Friday, prepare for a Legendary update! New Legendary stats, new achievements, new Legendary gear, and a new Legendary boss are coming to EpicDuel!
Near Titan's lonely home in Frysteland, new shops have spawned that are only accessible by those deemed worthy. In these shops, Legendary players will be able to access up to three tiers of Legendary gear. The following is just a small sampling of the amazing content created by our talented Guest Artist team.
Don't worry, there's a "normal" variant of the war horse as well.
These shops will be expanded over time to continually offer the the most epic gear in Delta V. We'll try to keep the updates rares, but of a very high quality to prevent the shops from being diluted. There's also a chance items will be rotated out of the shops to make room for more items.
Legendary Achievement
Rank up with the new Legendary achievement!
Show off your status by evolving your achievement all the way up to the 12th tier! This tier is worth a nice tidy sum of Rating Points. Can you reach it?
Legendary Titan
Titan has been working out to a steady regimen of double bacon cheeseburgers and lifting mountains, and he's ready to crack some skulls.
Challenge Legendary Titan at your own risk. He was designed to be the most challenging fight in the game.
Triumphing over this impressive foe will reward you with a Legendary Titan Achievement!
Underdog Mode and Balance
As mentioned before, Underdog Mode is still in progress. We're vigorously testing and reworking the numbers to make sure it's strong enough to be noticeable, but not so strong that it negates the level advantage of the stronger opponent. More specific numbers will be avaible in the patch notes.

Legendary Preview
Good afternoon, duelists! How goes the war? We're currently engaged in a 2 week build for an epic Legendary revamp scheduled for May 8th. You may have seen some of the projected features described in the April 15th Design Notes.
Our artists are hard at work developing some of the coolest items ever to hit Delta V -- items worthy of the Legendary designation. These items will only be available exclusively to Legendary players.
The Legendary Shops will be broken into 3 separate tiers to cover a range of Legendary Ranks. Each tier will have it's own unique set of items on offer. Being Legendary should feel awesome and we want those who are dedicated enough to achieve that status to really be able to show that status off in as many ways as possible.
The Legendary Shop merchants can be found inside Titan's Peak. This is destined to be a hangout for the best and baddest in all of EpicDuel.
I haven't even covered the new achievements and Legendary stats in this release, but I've got to leave something to talk about next week. We'll also have more specifics concerning the new Legendary stats and more preview images of Legendary content.
"Underdog Mode"
We've all been the underdog in a duel at one point or another. Even the level 40s with dozens of Legendary points started once as lowly level 1s. This can be very frustrating, especially as power levels increase near the cap. An underdog mode is being developed to address this issue by giving the lower level player a boost to help them remain competitive against a much more highly ranked opponent. This will not grant an easy win for a low level player, but merely offer a boost to give the player a fighting chance.
As this feature is still in development, we don't yet have exact figures to offer. We will likely have more details in next week's Design Notes.
Incoming Restock!
We covered this before, but it's so important, it's worth mentioning again. Coming up May 1st is a MASSIVE restock that should slake the appetite of the most warlike Epic-Duelists. That date will herald the return of the incredible Lionhart weapons, Dread weapons, and Legion/Exile Battlegear!
You may think you'll have plenty of time to get them, but it's easy to save it for later, but forget and miss out. Be sure to pick up these amazing items before they're gone for another year!

PvP MMO Event: The Wasteland War
The Lawman is one of the most powerful individuals on Delta V. Through his domination of the black market weapons trade, he has amassed armies of ruthless soldiers and collected an arsenal of the finest munitions the planet has to offer. This cache resides just beyond his personal suite in the Minetower.
Recently, hostile forces have gathered around the tower to deploy a strategy that could succeed where head-on tactics failed: launch stealthy Drones to loot the cache bullet-by-bullet. Forces defending the cache will attempt to disable the launchers to defend the hoard.
Join the Exiles or Legion forces to attempt to claim the cache for your own alignment. The fate of your alignment's war machine hangs in the balance!
Collect war drops through PvP battles or purchase them from the Wasteland Ammo Depot near the Minetower. This is your chance to elevate your regional Wasteland Influence achievement through participation in the war. Use Drone Cells to power Drone Launchers scattered throughout the Wasteland to loot the Ammo Cache, or, if you're defending the cache, Sabotage the Launchers!
The prize at stake in this epic war is a mutating armor unlike any in Delta V: The Wasteland Runner Armor.
Log in. Join up. Duel On!

A Legendary Spring!
With all of the recent attention on our new project BioBeasts, we wanted to reassure players that all of the EpicDuel dev team, including Titan, Nightwraith, Charfade, and Rabblefroth will continue to actively work on EpicDuel. Here is our roadmap for EpicDuel's direction over the next few months:
Legendary Improvements
Based on your suggestions, we've decided to fix a few commonly reported problems with the Legendary system. The Legendary system doesn't offer any exclusive rewards, there aren't enough ways to invest your Legendary points, and matches against a high ranking Legendary player can be heavily one-sided. We're going to fix these problems with the following improvements:
Introduce NEW Tiered Legendary shops
Players will gain access to exclusive gear only available to Legendary players. The shops will be gated by your Legendary rank. There will be 3 tiers of Legendary shops unlocked at Legendary Ranks 1, 10, and 25. Reach the rank and you can shop at the shops, it's pretty easy.
New item rarity category "Legendary" items
Currently, EpicDuel offers Normal Items, Seasonal-Rares, Limited-Rares, Rares, Ultra-Rares. The Legendary shops will sell exclusively Legendary items. When calculating inventory rarity scores, the new Legendary items will be worth as much as a typical Rare item.
Evolving Legend Achievement
Players will be rewarded even more for achieving greater Legendary ranks. Reach Legendary status and you'll unlock this new achievement. Each time you achieve a new Legendary rank your achievement will increase in rating point value.
NEW matching changes Juggernaut and Legendary battles
Implementing an underdog mode to improve the quality of matchmaking and duels. More details on this to be announced.
NEW legend hangout area near Titan's Peak in Frysteland
This will be the location of the new tiered Legendary shops.
NEW categories to invest your Legendary Points:
Wasteland War
The Wasteland War is set to launch Friday April 24. This will include a number of fixes to improve the War automation, allowing us to more easily setup war prizes and hide the cooldown until closer to the next war's actual launch. This should help us avoid confusion as to the date of a war's launch and prevent the issue of having to move a war date around to accommodate other releases or allow for more development time.
In the Wasteland, Legion and Exile players will vie for control of the Lawman's not-so-secret weapons cache. Players on the offense will use transport drones to bypass The Lawman's security measures and loot the cache. Defenders will thwart the drones by sabotaging them at their launch sites scattered throughout the Wasteland.
The best, victorious contenders in this war will receive an impressive mutating armor from Guest Artist Seth Juron!
Because BioBeasts was inspired by the EpicDuel universe, we fully intend to cross-promote both games. Expect upcoming EpicDuel mission and storyline tie-ins that promote BioBeasts. Likewise, BioBeasts will reference and drive interest back to EpicDuel. So while we understand player frustration with the idea that our limited time will be split across 2 projects, our hope is that BioBeasts will increase interest in EpicDuel while simultaneously paving the road for larger scope future projects.
Returning Rares
How time flies when you're dueling your butt off! April is here and May is around the corner and that means some amazing seasonal rares are ready to populate the shops around Delta V! Most recently, merchants in the Biological Preserve has received stocks of Earth Day Seasonal Rares.
Coming up May 1st is a MASSIVE restock that should slake the appetite of the most warlike Epic-Duelists. That date will herald the return of the incredible Lionhart weapons, Dread weapons, and Legion/Exile Battlegear!
BioBeasts Promo Pack in EpicDuel
We saw quite a few people in the comments section of BioBeasts' FAQ asking about a possible EpicDuel Promotional Pack celebrating the launch of our mobile game. We love this idea so we're running with it. You can expect a BioBeasts-themed EpicDuel Promo Pack to premiere around the launch of BioBeasts.
Guest Artist Showcases
Our Guest Artist Team has been crucial to building the best releases possible for EpicDuel so we'd like to show our appreciation for all their hard work...by making them work even harder! Mwahahaha *cough* I kid! I kid! This Spring and Summer, we'd like to highlight our Guest Artists by giving them their very own showcase shops packed with iconic items that represent each artist's individual style and personality! You may even be able to duel their NPC avatars in game for a real challenge!
The following are tentative dates for the upcoming showcase shops:
Dragon's Reckoning 2
You thought it was time to count Dravax the Harbinger out for good? That his precious "master" was off eating planets in some far-flung corner of EpicDuel's Universe? You would be wrong! Ranloth is crafting a continuation of the Dragonoid Saga to place players in an epic confrontation against a revived Dragonoid menace! Even though this event is planned for late Summer, we're already stockpiling content to make this event one of the most epic yet!

Junior Design Notes
This Friday, since there is no planned release, we will be activating a Power Weekend! Double XP and Credits all weekend! If that's not enough to get you excited, we are also planning a restock of all Limited Quantity items Friday at 10 AM EST!
Why no release? Partially, it's to prepare for the upcoming Wasteland War, develop new missions, and the topic below.
Super Seekrit Announcment
As often happens when we announce something extremely vague in this space, rampant speculation abounds! The best rumor I saw was that Rabble announced his wedding. This was surprising to him! He didn't even know he was getting married! It's a good thing the rumor mill on the forum let him know so he can order a cake!
In all seriousness, though, the actual announcement is coming next week. PREPARE! It has nothing to do with a wedding.

Rabbits Return!
The rabbits have indeed returned! Well, I suppose they never actually left. Still! They need your help with a very special mission: To repair their rocket, shut down the force field around Delta V, and make their final escape! Prepare yourself for this incredible new missions created by One Winged Angel and Ranloth, with content created by Bidoof, Vorzathiel, SarpDV, and Vultex!
CAUTION! The "Hardcore" mission chain "Bundorable Chores" is very difficult. Some missions require many, many wins or item drops to complete so only undertake them if you have plenty of time. Fortunately, they aren't leaving so you can take your time if you're not in a hurry to complete every mission as soon as possible.
These new items are available from Brachylagus in the Archives. However, some items are only available through completing some very difficult missions in the "Bundorable Chores" mission chain!
Rabbit Ride
What this new bike lacks in fluff, it makes up for in ferocity! Tear up the Biological Preserve with this awesome new Skeletal Bunny Bike available at Brachylagus!
Easter Stylings
Look your Easter best with these hip new styles that all the kids are talking about. I assume they're talking about them. I'm with it, yo! *cracks hip*
Home Decor
Do you like eggs? Bidoof and SarpDV have created a host of egg-based items to beautify your homes for the season. The Bunny Egg Bank is available exclusively from completing the "Nuclear Omelette" mission.
War Pushback
To prevent the next war (The Wasteland) from overlapping with the Rabbits Return event, we have postponed the war event until April. This will allow everyone plenty of time to complete the missions without sensory overload.
Rabbits Return Part 2
Stay tuned for next week's continuation of the Rabbits Return event! What surprises and treasures await those clever and brave enough to serve the Lagomorphs?!

Rabbits Return Next Week!
The snow is melting, the trees are blooming, the grass is green...but on Delta V all of those could mean very bad things are coming! In this case, there are no mutant spores to speak of or subterranean cyber-bugs, but adventure is still very, very near, arriving just in time for Easter!
This latest event Rabbits Return, the brainchild of Ranloth and One Winged Angel, will focus on the trials of the interstellar lagomorphs (sentient aliens that really, REALLY look like rabbits from Earth) that have been trapped on Delta V for years.
Aid Myxoma, Brachylagus, Mr. Cottontail, Lepus, and Capensis as they attempt another escape. Will they uncover the secrets of the deadly field preventing disgruntled colonists from fleeing Delta V. Will they resign themselves to their fate and become a part of their adopted homeworld? Will Electrohazard finally have that jumbo order of rabbit stew he's always dreamed about?
Find out next week during part 1 of this epic new saga!
Ye Olde Hardecore!
Ranloth has something very nasty in mind for this event. Because some players find our standard missions far too easy, he's planned several hardcore missions geared toward the most dedicated players. Phenomenal rewards await those brave enough to undertake these hardest of the hardcore missions! Be warned, undertaking these missions will require some time
In the Meantime...
There's no new release today, but there's still plenty to see and do on Delta V. For those not paying attention, the Biological Preserve shops are fully stocked with NEW seasonal goodies!
Grab the awesome Botanical Weapons from Xraal in the Biological preserve! Warning: NOT safe for allergy sufferers (jk it's all digital. BREATHE all you want!)
Hop next door (pun intended) to check out the returning Bunny gear! The Ballistic Bunny Bot is one of my all-time favorites!
More lagomorphic and lethal weapons are coming your way next week, along with new missions and achievements! Stay tuned to the Twittervers for more WIPs and the latest information on the Rabbits Return event as it unfolds!
Think of the Future...
We've got a BIG announcement soon. I know it's really, really mean to make a post like this without immediate follow-up information, but we can't formally make this announcement until we're absolutely, 100% ready.

Heartbreaker Saga 2 Part 2
Return to the Afterlife to complete the second part of the second Heartbreaker saga! The Necronauts Paz and Clemek are more unhinged than ever as their time away from the world of the living has drained their humanity and sanity! Challenge them to a battle of wits and brawn from beyond the grave in this exciting conclusion to this saga!
This epic update comes with THREE achievements. One for completing the chain, one for beating the boss, and one for completing the super-secret BONUS mission! Well, it's not so secret. It's actually in your mission...nevermind.
Moar Missions
This release will also feature brand new missions created by Ranloth! We intended to release them as dailies, but it looks like one of the chains BloodHawk Training slipped into the regular mission category. This will be corrected in the next release, allowing you to complete it again and again!
Necrotic Armaments
The Necronauts have been in the Afterlife long enough to develop some interesting hobbies -- weaponcraft, to be specific. Visit Clemek to browse his inventory of Void creations, including the Necronaut Armor!
Just don't fog up the dome with too much necroplasm. You'll feel all...funky.
Access the style-change interface to try some Necronaut and Endless styles!
Finally satisfy that need to be a disfigured skull-head man (or woman). What's the hose attached to? Only Paz knows for sure.
War Update
You may have noticed this most recent war is lasting an awfully long time. We've noted this. With the War 2.0 system, we built a feature to balance the duration of the war based on the previous war's duration. The last war occured during the holiday season, a time when our activity spikes unusually high. This made the war end very, very quickly, causing the system to say, "HEY! These players need a REAL challenge!" Thus, the next war was adjusted based on those extreme numbers.
Now, we are in a state in which the total points needed to win the war are much too high. The war would go on for months at this rate. Thus, to shorten the duration, we will be reducing the total points needed to win.
No personal scores will be reduced. No one side will receive an artificial advantage.
The positive effects are that participating players will receive their prizes sooner. We will also be able to reach the next war region early Spring rather than early Summer!
We will be performing a substantial and much needed balance update next week. We planned on balance improvements this week, but ultimately, we decided we would need more time to test the proposed changes. We will keep you updated on the proposed changes as they are closer to being locked in.

Heartbreaker Saga 2 Part 1
The events of Frozen Fury ripped a hole in space and time, allowing travel into a realm beyond life and death. Journey into the Afterlife to learn more about the mysterious and powerful Necronauts Paz and Clemek. What is their purpose? How are they able to travel between worlds? Are they human or something beyond comprehension?
You will begin your journey into the great hereafter at a familiar face: Negawraith.
He will guide you to investigate some mysterious disturbances around the nearby Guard Outpost ruins. Longtime players will recall in the original Heartbreaker Saga, Administrator 12 was planning a coup to dethrone Alydriah and restore sanity to the Legion. Unfortunately, Administrator 11, Alydriah's brother and weapon of mass destruction, killed Administrator 12 in his office. His smoldering shoes and golden gun remain as a reminder from Alydriah to show what happens to those who would betray her.
The guards have been hearing noises...voices...that they can't explain. This line of inquiry will lead you to Frysteland to a portal leading to the Afterlife: a realm between life and death and home to billions of souls.
Aldhagrimm's sacrifice may have prevented The Endless from going rogue and destroying the world, but it also opened a tear to the Afterlife. Inside, you'll find some familiar faces...
...and some not so familiar faces.
Complete this first part of the event to earn a new Void Explorer achievement.
Gear UP!
A certain familiar NPC in the Afterlife will have a massive inventory of new Heartbreaker/Void gear! Stock on these seasonal rares as they will only be available for a limited time! Check out this comprehensive list of the new items available!
Endless Armor
For those who have access to the coveted The Endless shop, the color custom version of The Endless Armor has arrived!
This version have no cores preinstalled so you can completely customize it to your liking.
You can even make it completely pink...if that's your thing. I'm not here to judge.
Lucky Friday the 13th!
Collect the Friday the 13th achievement available in the achievement shop for a limited time!

Heartbreaker Saga 2 Pregame
The coveted Heartbreaker/Azrael items have returned once again! Visit the Alydroid in Fortune City to explore its shop of sensational seasonal rares, available NOW!
These are some of my favorite items in all of EpicDuel so I'm always excited to see them return. They also happen to possess some of the most powerful cores to entice those who value power over aesthetics.
Remember, these are seasonal rares with some being limited quantity. They will leave so be sure to stock up while you can! However, these aren't the only seasonal content coming to EpicDuel. In fact, we're in the process of planning the next major event...
Heartbreaker Saga 2: Electric Boogaloo
Prepare for this new epic event launching Friday, February 13!
This event will take place in the mysterious realm between life and death known as the Void. Many of Delta V's cititzens were banished here by Baelius in a desperate attempt to crush the uprising decades ago.
This realm is vast so although it is home to countless beings, they are very distant from each other making this a very lonely, but awe-inspiring, place.
Some happen into the Void through technology, some through death, but escaping is a complicated matter. Those who were born into the Void view the incursion of humans as a nuisance at best and a plague at worst. Humans are unique in their curiously and desire to understand and manipulate the Void to their will. Void Creatures want seek to maintain balance in this realm lest it become infected by outsiders. Some are friendlier than others, but their loyalties are always to the Void above all else.
Join us for this exciting event as we reveal the mysterious of the Void and it's inhabitants...some of whom may be familiar to you.
"The Big Game" Returns!
Are you ready...FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!
For those of you international players, we're refering to American Football or Hand Soccer as it's otherwise known. This Sunday the SeaMonsters will do battle with the Patreons...as far as I recall. I'm bad at sports talk. Anyway, I'm sure the commercials will be expensive!
Celebrate this event with the "Big Game" achievement available NOW in the achievement shop.
The War Wages On!
There is another battle raging this weekend: the battle for The Barrens Outpost!
After a strong start, the Legion forces gave way to the persistent Exiles. There's still plenty of time for that to change as every war tends to surprise with its final outcome.
It's still too early to call and there's a lot more dueling to do so don't give up! For Order! For Freedom! Duel On!

January 16, 2015
After a long holiday truce between Legion and Exile forces, war resumes on Delta V. The war for the fate of the Barrens Outpost begins today! The Legion will battle to defend the powerful Barrens Turret Array while the Exile will attempt to undermine their control through hacking terminals.
Hacking terminals are already scattered throughout the Barrens Outpost. Set your starting location for quick access to these crucial war points.
The prize at stake is the Barrens Turret Array. Access the Control Panel, control the Barrens. Those who faught against Dravax and the Dragonoid remember the potency of these mighty guns. If they can wound an interdimensional dragon they'll have no problem turning an armada into scrap.
Win PvP battles to earn war drops and boost the score of your alignment! The Legion took the last region; can they continue their winning streak or will the Exiles emerge triumphant?
Remember that this is also an opportunity to earn Barrens Outpost influence to build up your regional achievement! Let's see some red stars!
New Year's Loot
Guest artist Bidoof has crafted a timely set of New Year's gear available at Torgan in Frysteland!

EPIC MMO EVENT: Gift Codes 2015
It's a new year and we're already rushing out the gate with new features! The first is a new, reimagined gifting system! Rather than rehash the existing gift system, we've combined the excitement of giving gifts with the awesome power of PRIZE CODES!
With this new feature, accessible from the Varium shop, you will be able to create your very own prize code!
Choose your code, choose your prize time, choose your quantity, and share the code in game and on social networks! All your generated codes, including the number of redemptions remaining will be stored within this interface for quick reference.
NOTE: I should hope it goes without saying, but using inappropriate language in your codes will result in moderator action.
Pit your generosity against your fellow Duelists with competative daily and all-time leaderboards. These boards will track the number of code redemptions so you'll need to be craft to organize your buddies, fans, and followers to claim as many codes as possible. You'll also be rewarded with daily and all-time achievements!
Fame 2015
For the longest time, the Fame system in EpicDuel was completely external from the game client. This made the system vulnerable to exploits and very difficult to manage. Now, we've finally incorporated fame into the game client which will allow you to fame your friends and foes in and out of battle!
Click your friend, and click the arrow! Easy!
After you receive fame, you will receive a toast informing you that you were famed by another player. Be sure to fame them back and say, "Thanks!" Please don't beg for fame, though, as you can be reported for griefing/spamming. Please fame responsibly.
With this long-awaited revamp, we hope that this feature can become a more fair and engaging part of EpicDuel.
New Daily Missions
Guest Writer Trans has crafted several new daily mission chains! Sharpen your blades and load your bazookas as you come to the aid of the denizens of Delta V for great rewards! Be sure to check the Daily Missions tab to see the currently available mission.
New Year, New Loot
Visit The Endless' shop in Frysteland (assuming you've already unlocked it) to pick up some new seasonal, limited rares designed by Reki, T0mcat, and Revontheus!
If you've already got swords aplenty, then decorate your home with new interactive bobble heads based on your favorite EpicDuel NPCs!
Here's to a grand new year of sharing and dueling in EpicDuel!

Epic New Year: Duel On to 2015!
Where did the time go? It seems like 2014 just started but now be must bid adieu to another passing year. We don't want the celebration and fanfare of Frozen Fury to end just yet so we are celebrating 2015 by starting with a 4-day Power Weekend (starts midnight EST). Get Double XP and Credits from Thursday to Sunday night.
Ring in the New Year with some epic duels in EpicDuel...as long as you're not too sore from unwrapping all those gifts sitting in your mailbox!
Your gifts won't get better if you wait to open them. In fact, they'll expire 60 days after you receive them. There's not reason to hoard them so why wait? There's not even any gift wrapping to dispose or impossible-to-open plastic cases to rip through!
27 Day of Gifting Ends
All good things must end. The 27 Days of Giving is reaching it's frenzied conclusion as I type this. You have been more generous than we ever expected. The excitement around this feature was so great that we established a trending topic on Twitter! One midnight strikes and the event ends, the grandest prizes will finally unwrap.
*Leaderboard standings as of 1:10PM EST
The top 10 gifters will receive the Gold Polar Bear mutation. The top gifter will receive Titan's Ultra Rare Alpha Gear. We are not re-releasing Alpha or creating a new version of it. Titan is literally removing the items from himself to bestow on the most generous player in EpicDuel as only a bacon-craving demigod can.
Note to winners: All the awards will be given manually so it may take some time to get everything sorted. Please allow us some time add the awards to your character!
We are sad to see the gifting end, and the popularity of this feature is not lost on us. We hope to find a way to introduce a permanent, streamlined version of this feature in 2015.
New Year's Loot
On Friday, we will be introducing new weapons, armors, styles, and home items to ring in the New Year! How does a mutating, color custom version of The Endless Armor sound? Sound tasty? You bet!
Thank you for letting us create this game for you for another year. This game would not be possible without our dedicated support team, including guest artists, writers, moderators, testers, and AKs. EpicDuel would absolutely not exist without our players, dueling tirelessly and exceeding our expectations. Thank you all! We hope this upcoming year is even more epic than the last!
Here's to a bold new year of EpicDuel! Duel On to 2015!

Frozen Fury MMO Mega Event
The Biological Preserve Has Fallen!
The Legion forces managed to claim another victory, this time in the Biological Preserve! Can the Legion keep this winning streak going into the next region (yet to be determined).
The Corrupted Tree is cleansed and the Legion have already staked a claim. What will they be able to accomplish with the Corruption Spores in their possession?
Be sure to claim your War Prize: The Armor Hazard Husk! The claim button won't available as long as it normally is due to the upcoming Winter event!
It doesn't make my butt look big does it? It's the chitinous shell, isn't it?
Power Weekend
Since the war is over (for now), and there's no scheduled release this week, we're rewarding everyone with a well-deserved weekend of double experience and credits!
You'd better stock up, because you'll need all you can get for the upcoming Frozen Fury event, with the kind challenges and rewards scarcely scene in a browser MMO!
Frozen Fury
Welcome to Frysteland yet again...or should I say *yeti* agai...I'll show myself out...
Just kidding! It'll take more than a lame pun to get rid of me!
Back on point, Alydriah is up to something in the frozen northlands of Delta V again, but this time it involves invoking the otherworldly power of the Krampus avatar of the Void, The Endless. Edgar Boothe wants to believe there is still good in Alydriah's metallic heart, but he won't hesitate to oppose her if she threatens the life of his beloved people. In his mind, the Legion can bring advanced technology and improve the quality of life of the Krampus, but Alydriah's mind is set on conquest and revenge!
Starting December 5th, we will launch the first part of a 3-part saga as Legion and Exile forces question their allegiances and old grudges resurface. Will Edgar betray Alydriah? Will Alydriah gain control of the Krampus and exert her will over all of Delta V? Prepare yourself for Frozen Fury!
Weapons of War
We're super-excited to offer this preview of the Frozen Fury promotional packages (yes, packages)! This first image is a preview of the mutating weapons, scythes, sidearms, bazookas, and bots that will be available to purchase very soon!
These treasures from the frozen northlands were designed by the super talented guest-artist SarpDV!
Speaking of guest-artists...we've recently welcomed a new addition to the team: SlayerTheKraken!
Be sure to give all of our artists and writers a follow on Twitter --They'll be sharing updates throughout development as Frozen Fury progresses!
Scores of Cores
It has been said that we don't release cores often enough; we'll usually offer a couple in with a new promotional package, but not as many as we'd like to. With this release, we're pushing the limits of our creativity and EpicDuel's game engine to realize the potential of Omega by offering a smorgasbord of cores!
You might say it's a CORE-gasbord.
Or not.
Stay tuned to these designed notes and our Twitter pages for updates on core progress and functionality. I'd love to share the specific details of the cores, but those may change in testing. At the moment we have:
Endless Avatar: Become the Endless to smite your foes with a blow from your mighty scythe!
Icy Overkill: Charge sidearm with so much energy it deals extreme damage but explodes in the process.
Yeti Blood: When in critical condition, become a fierce Yeti Hulk to bash your foe and steal HP.
Hair Trigger: Auxiliary core that allows you to spend Rage for more damage.
Absorption: Gain energy from bot damage.
Whiteout: Bury your opponent in snow and ice their skills! We hope you have a good memory.
Spirit Thorns: Surround yourself with ethereal spikes that damage attacker's energy pool.
Ice Shield: Shield cast by bot that guarantees blocks and deflections for a limited time.
Again, these cores are still being tested and functionality could change any time between now and their official release.
27 Days of Presents!
Starting December 5th, in addition to launching the Frozen Fury story, we'll be offering a compelling reason to login every day:
See the prize claim button in action!
Every day, we'll offer a new prize! Just click the button to claim it! Simple! The prizes will change every day; they could be home items, credits, Arcade tokens, weapons, or ??? The prize tracking is unique to each player so you won't be penalized for missing a day, but why would you want to! Plus, you'll receive an evolving achievement for claiming prizes; the more prizes you claim, the better it gets!
New missions, NPCs, arcades, weapons, bots, prizes, cores...what more could you ask for? WHAT?! You still want MORE?! OK, THEN!
How About More Prizes?!
Dust off those trees, snowmen, and pink flamingos, and get ready for a new EpicDuel home decoration contest! It's been awhile since we hosted a contest, and we're excited to be hosting another, especially during this massive Winter event! Excitement!
We're still ironing out the details so stay tuned for more details on the contest next week! Remember that the new Frysteland Yurt is already in game so you can start planning your entries over the weekend!

Psychologist admits health insurance fraud
A psychologist with an office in Matawan can expect probation for bilking a health insuror, providing that he repays more than $15,000 he admitted skimming through false claims.
Edward M. Merski, 62, of Old Bridge, pleaded guilty to a third-degree count of insurance fraud in Monmouth County Superior Court in Freehold, according to information from the office of acting County Prosecutor Chris Grammiccioni.
Merski confessed to sending about 120 false claims to Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield between January 2009 and June 2013, involving visits that never took place on behalf of two patients.
At Merski's scheduled July 10 sentencing, prosecutor are expected to drop a witness-tampering charge. Merski offered to pay the patients if they'd drop a civil lawsuit, investigators said.

Details about Antique / Edwardian 5 Piece Cruet Set by Walker and Hall Glass and Silver PlateSee original listing
Item condition:
--not specified
15 Jul, 2012 15:12:14 BST
Winning bid:
[ 20 bids ]
Item location:
Scarborough, uk, United Kingdom
1/1Feedback on our suggestions
|Silver Plate
|5 Piece Cruet Set
|Walker & Hall
This is an Antique 5 Piece Silver Plated Cruet Set by Walker and Hall of Sheffield.
It is not possible to accurately date this piece, but we believe it to Edwardian - George V ( 1901 - 1940)
On the base of the cruet are the following marks -
A flag with the letters 'W&H' inside - the trade mark for Walker and Hall of Sheffield
Beneath the flag is a shield containing the figure 'Pi' in gothic style above the numbers 51027
On the opposite side of the base are the words ' Warranted hard and silver soldered' above the number '3', above an inverted object that appears to be a horseshoe.
There is very limited research on the meanings of marks on silver plate, and we cannot interpret these marks
The five pieces in the set are -
The stand - this bears marks of wear consistent with its age and use. There are no dents in the piece, but in places its plate is wearing thin and there is some pitting in the surface, mainly beneath where the condiment items stand. The stand is a good weight at 624gms
There are four glass condiment receptacles -
Two are for vinegar or oil, each has a glass stopper. They are in good condition although the stoppers each has some chipping on the inside of the stopper.
The other two have plated silver tops, one is for mustard, the other has a shaker top for either salt/pepper.
The glass containers are in pairs of design, and although it may be that one or both is not original to this stand, they all fit perfectly.
The overall height of the cruet stand is 20.5 cms. by 15.5 * 15.5 cms base
This will make an ideal decorative piece and it is fully functional.
If you have any questions about this set please contact us and we will reply promptly.
Because of its overall weight, we will use the carrier myHermes door to door service.

In my business one thing that sets me aside from many in my passionate profession, is that $10 from each service will be donated to a charitable organization such as Yellow Brick House (a shelter for abused women and children) and Humanity First (providing relief and support to communities both local and global). .
I have a huge passion for make-up and have been in the industry for 6 years. Im looking expanding my portfolio a little more. I also Aim to work with agencies and focus on more media and editorial print work.
Make-up is an art and if you have the talent, use it to the best of your ability because you never know where it can take you.

Excesses and Vacuums
Apr 21, 2015
The accusation of supposed acts of corruption has turned into a national sport. No day goes by without the social networks posting photographs of a public official boarding a governmental helicopter or a politician's wife entering a store in Los Angeles. The phenomenon cuts across the entire political spectrum, but the look is fixedly trained on the federal government. The faults of the Left appear lesser in the logic of the prototypical accuser. Is this an excess or merely a patriotic, therefore democratic, act?

Good year for Michigan apples
LANSING, MI (AP)-- A new report says Michigan's apple crop should be among its best ever.
The U.S. Apple Association Outlook Conference in Chicago on Friday forecasts that Michigan will have a 2014 harvest of about 29 million bushels. That's close to the 30 million bushel record set in 2013.
Michigan Apple Committee Executive Director Diane Smith says it's great to have strong back-to-back harvests after a number of ups-and-downs over the years.
Smith tells the Detroit Free Press it also looks the quality of this year's Michigan apple crop will be very good as well.
Michigan is among the nation's leading apple growers, but Washington dominates. Michigan and New York are vying for the second spot, and their combined harvest is likely to be about half Washington's alone.
