EP 7.0.x Smackdown [2019-09-22]
Posted: 20 Dec 2018, 00:54
Smackdown patch is a separate branch of EP, introducing experimental changes not vetted by the regular EP balance team. The main purpose of the Smackdown patch is utilizing it for special Smackdown events hosted by @Interjection & @Mitoe or Escape.
Smackdown branch of EP can be accessed from the ESOC Patch Launcher by navigating to Tools -> Switch to EP Smackdown. This will also create a desktop shortcut after first usage, for easier access next time. Once you're on the Smackdown branch, simply launch ESOC Patch as normal, which will now have the experimental changes applied.
See the following threads for general information about Smackdown patch/events:
