Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links

Yeah, the selection process in duel for many things just seems to take an extra step then is needed, with each step not being as responsive as I'd like it. It's like they spent the whole time polishing everything about this game except the game flow. I want to like it, but eh.

[Botosi]

I honestly don't mind how the game is laid out, just wish you could turn off effects such as skills and spell/monster effects. After seeing it for the 3rd time you don't have to show it to me again.

Also the a.i. for auto duel pisses me off. Multiple times I've watched it lose when I could've won if playing. It also makes you lose out on glossy points etc etc

Sounds like something a Game critic would turn in when he couldn't do a real review but wanted a paycheck anyway.

Har har aside. What do you mean by not as responsive? And what ways would you improve the flow? They have a suggestion box and it's still in its early years. I'd send them a message.

The only problems I have with it while dueling are card placements of things when in the duel view where it shows monsters. They've placed the little battle tab within the same fat fingers reach of the activate spell option for the right laid spell.

I also hate how there's no "go back" or "oops" option for when you activate a spell or something by mistake. Not talking traps and shit but say a spell like cost down, which requires you to discard a hand. Can't tell you how many times I've used that without realizing the only card in my hand is the only i want to summon.

PS typing in a phone is cancer. Please forgive typos.

Everything you mentioned is a valid critique, but more specifically in my example I'm talking about how tributing two cards requires you to have selected one card, choose it, select second card, choose it. This is silly, just select both cards, then choose. This extra "step" seems unnecessary to me, and you highlighted other issues I have with the game.

Like, I literally like everything about this version of the card game except how the game plays. It's such a weird feeling since its usually the exact opposite.

[Souj]

The two tribute thing is especially odd considering there is a card where it let's you chose both cards at the same time. I can't remember which atm.

Also, I really don't like not having a main phase 2.

[Salodin]

It's a small quip, but then there's plenty of animations that you just can't skip.

No Main Phase 2 is kinda trash. Laying a trap card after an attack is even in the anime.

Also I know there's a card, Ray of Hope? Brings two light cards from graveyard to the deck let's you select both cards from the same pop up like you mentioned.

So the two sacrifice thing is indeed clunky and odd.

[Salodin]

The problem is there's a lot of double checking that you're making the move you want to do. That's nice in theory, as any one who's played other digital board/card games can attest, but it slows down the game so much that I'd rather not have it.

[Karbuncle]

I like it, I fuck up a lot, but problem is once you fuck up, you've fucked up. I can lay an equip spell that requires a discard that looks very similar to like 3 others that don't, and the second I hit "Play", dumpster time on a card I might not want to get rid of.

So... either allow a back button, at the very least in NPC duels only, or have the option to remove pointless are you sure menu's since they don't ... work...

[Karbuncle]

Spoiler: show

Best 10 pack I've bought to date. Damn. Maybe not in terms of best cards but absolutely in terms of number of valuables.

Also got the really nice water dude recently, already have Angler and Mako unlocked so may work on that OP deck lol

[BerenTebogo]

I've found AAU is clunky to use. Sometimes it's a lifesaver, sometimes it is useless.

for UR spell/trap cards I think magic trap mirror (or w/e it is called) is the best fuck you so far.

[Karbuncle]

Mirror Force? Yah that one is straight horse shit.

[Salodin]

God forbid I'm not near WiFi when I try to give this game another go. Every single time I've tried to play, I've had to do some kind of update I won't want to waste data on T_T

[Souj]

I like the magic card Half-Shut a lot. It wasn't a card when I was playing irl. It's not as good as Rush Recklessly or Shrink, but it's still pretty nice, especially when I don't have Reinforcements and Metalmorph yet. I also ended up spending most my money to craft a Riryoku.

[Souj]

Unlocked Odion at the gate. To make him playable you just need to beat him and use traps 10 times in a single duel.


Oh wtf. They started the Toon World event this morning. I played a few duels in it and I just logged in again half hour later and they've apparently gotten rid of it and "suspended" it.

[Karbuncle]

It's becoming very Pokémon GO like. A lot of people can't even log in to play the event (myself included) due to server congestion. Some are getting lucky and getting in. But to be safe they're suspending it pending congestion. Idk what they're hoping for. Either they'll buy better servers or the issue will keep happening until people rage quit.

They're handling it 9000% better than GO ever did though. compensation for down time, extending the event, making Pegasus cheaper to unlock (35000 instead of original 250000).

I haven't even gotten an opening chat with Pegasus yet

[Souj]

35000? Man, I think I had 33000 before I quit. Or maybe it was 3,000 lol. I wasn't paying too much attention. I beat Pegasus at lv10, then 20, then 30. So however many points that was lol. Unlocked his lv40, but I had run out of stars.

[Karbuncle]

As far as I know your points is a multiplier if your duel score based on the difficulty of Pegasus (10 20 30 etc). There's a list on Reddit. But a real good lvl 40 duel should get you like 35000

[Souj]

Odion's unlock card is the Apothis trap monster card btw. His last two unlockable cards are Serket and that Continuous spell card it needs.

[Karbuncle]

Mythical Beast Cerberus available in my shop today. Idk if it's universal. But I was happy to see it.
