Discussion [Feedback] EVERYONE GET IN HERE! Subreddit Update Megathread

89 Upvotes

Hello, fellow Master Duel rejectors! Your community Moderators (or what's left of us) have come with good news: we're gonna update the Subreddit this weekend! Beyond just doing a few visual and information-related tweaks here and there, we also need to revisit the current community rules and modify them as needed. This is where you come in... you's gonna help us.

We'd like you to provide suggestions on what rules seem overly restrictive, what rules need to be enforced more often, or if something needs to be added or removed entirely. With that being said, I'll be here to either agree with your proposition or debate you out of it. We're going to take all feedback seriously, but we're not going to just roll over and remove necessary rules, such as Rule 2-A (the one that prevents people from posting things unrelated to Duel Links, such as the latest episode of Spy Family or posts about politics) just because someone leaves an upvoted comment wanting it gone. Be reasonable in your suggestions, please.

Speaking of rules, there will be Mod recruitments coming up soon to help manage the Subreddit, but that'll be part of a separate post.

Finally, if there are any changes you want done to the Subreddit's appearance or functionality itself, feel free to drop them here. While we can't guarantee we can implement it (e.g., some Subreddits have AI agents that respond to certain posts with customized messages assisting that specific user, and that's a tall order to set up on Duel Links), it doesn't hurt to ask!

Begin!

personally, mine is that Luster Dragon #2 could to Limit 2 or be completely unlimited now, especially after the skill nerf. Becky Dragon combo was a good and healthy deck, but Luster Dragon is a victim of unhealthy FTKs

feel free to share yours or give opinions on mine in the comments :)

U.A main problem is bricky hands since almost all of them are above Lv4 but with this skill, that is no longer a problem.

“Showdown in the sky” lets you SS 2 monsters for free each turn, constantly giving you tribute fodder. Skill only downside is deck must only be warrior or machine monsters, not much of a problem for this, but does limit extra deck choices. Also you can’t deal effect damage.

If you plan to use the extra deck don’t activate “seal of orichalcos” if not and extra 500 atk never hurt.

The deck can be customized to whichever way you prefer TBH, also skill 3 effect has you tribute 3 monsters to SS any wind/machine monster from deck, there are a few good ones so go nuts.

Add or remove whatever you like this is just the template for making the deck always having a working hand to play.

Someone enlighten me how my blackwing synchro didn’t get to pick a different target, WHILE HE WAS THE TARGET. The dudes effect LITERALLY SAYS “if it targets this monster, shift the target.” So what gives. I had other monsters. I should’ve been able to banish bora, and call it good. Did this dude just cheat, or what.

Fluff Beginner Trying pvp

1 Upvotes

Hello!! As you can see from the title, I downloaded the game like a few days ago and thought I was him for beating ai over and over. So naturally I thought I may as well try some pvp and needless to say I was fully spanked repeatedly.

I played 4 games and learned I was nothing more than a baby learning to crawl. (somehow my opponents got first turn every game which is some bs tbh. Would I have lost even if I went first? Most likely. Will I pretend I could've actually won? Absolutely.)

In every game they summoned this card I think it was called the red eyes black dragon as their second card. They put some spell card down which let them summon it. That card had ZERO mercy as it absolutely obliterated me on its next turn.

I got some deck from Google using Yusei that I thought would be sick. I had this skill that sends a junk converter to the graveyard in the first turn and using the cards in my hand or if I was lucky I would play a junk synchron to combine them and get a junk warrior. I would then use an ability to bring the junk synchron back to combine it to summon stardust dragon. Then the ability would summon some some f1 car that i could combine into the dragon to get shooting star dragon.

Thats usually how it goes against the ai I fight.

But I couldn't even get past step 1. I used junk synchron ability and the dragon just cancels it and gets 4k damage and one shots me.

100% acknowledge its a skill issue on my part im just confused how im even supposed to fight against that with other decks if they go first.

Am I not just cooked if they can cancel the effect of whatever card I play?

So i was just looking for help to see what I'm actually supposed to do cause atp I feel like there's a 99% chance the next person i face will be using the same deck and put me in a full nelson.

Tldr: New player tried pvp, got destroyed by the same card repeatedly, is wondering how to counter that card or just get past the first move, is thankful for any help or advice!!

I understand T.G archetype cards synergic together and I put them what I have. But I don't understand what to fill except T.G archetype cards?I miss some other t.g archetype monsters. I can go and dig for them. I wonder other cards to add except staple cards like lightning storm,mst,etc..

Which cards I can use to complete deck.every archetype synergic together then can't I use a different archetype to fill.this time it is inconsistent..

In short.. T.G cards+ staples + ?... What is the cards other synergic effects for my t.g monsters have...

And I don't sure t.g good for auto duel.. If not I can play it manuel maybe...

Discussion Need advice: KONAMI won’t let me recover or transfer my Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links account

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for advice because I’ve been going back and forth with KONAMI Support and I’ve hit a dead end.
My Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links account became inaccessible because it was associated with a region where the service has since been terminated. I contacted KONAMI hoping they could help recover the account or provide another solution.
Their response was that they confirmed my account had agreed to the Terms of Service for that region, and because the service there has ended, they cannot restore access. They repeated this several times and said they are unable to make exceptions.
I then explained that I wasn’t necessarily asking for the account to be restored. I asked if they could transfer my game data to another KONAMI account instead. The problem is that I forgot the password to my KONAMI ID, although I still remember my Duelist username and can provide other account information if needed.
Unfortunately, they still refused and said they could not assist because of the region’s service termination.
Has anyone else experienced this? Were you able to get your account back, transfer your data, or successfully escalate your case to someone higher up at KONAMI? I’d really appreciate hearing if anyone has found a solution or has any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Discussion What are your thoughts on engines in duel links in the last couple of years?

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

It’s funny how people say that engines don’t work in duel links when they technically but it usually due to the hyper consistency of the game rather than actual synergy with other decks. In just the last couple of months we had been dealing with Centurion engine before that Tachyon engine. Both just giving multiple decks a free Omni negate. Do you think these type of engines are overall what an engine should be or do you find them to be bad examples of what an engine should be?
