We try to tell them it's okay to be salty, but being a douche isn't welcome.  Doesn't get through to some people.  It's not ALL bad, but the absence of Dueling Network has brought in more players with tissue-paper for skin than I personally would like.

 

EDIT:  OH, and uh - wouldn't be this bad if we had some form of moderation.

To anyone having problems uploading cards:

Someone approached me with the same problem. He said the problem was gone when he switched from IE to Firefox. Don't know why, but it's worth a try.

 

 

Any chance Duel Portal could get moderators of some kind to deal with unreasonable / toxic players?  Some people are just not listening to card making balance standards, arguing against legit plays without an inkling of reason other than saltiness, or are editing public cards to make them in to useless custom archetypes.  We have no way to prevent/stop this, right now, and can only try to fix it once the damage is already done.

 

Yeah. I've made a thread here: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/357982-public-cards-moderation/

I just tried to change the email for my Duel Portal account and a window appears stating that "There was an error updating your profile".

 

EDIT:

I checked out of curiosity, and the same message appears when trying to change the "Allow Messaging" setting.

 

Quoting this to remind of this issue. Just tried to change the email again and its' still not working.

Yeah, just about everyone on Kupoin's list is someone who genuinely needs to meet a moderator who can do something.

 

Though, in my personal experience: felgrand (now magnetboy, to my knowledge) along with Surveillance are both decent people. A bit prickish, but decent nonetheless.

 

JAIME seems like he might be younger, or have some kind of mental regression issue (NOT SAYING THIS AS AN INSULT. THIS IS A GENUINE CONCERN OF MINE.) that makes him overly attached to older cards, throwing outright temper tantrums when people use Extra Deck cards he's not a fan of (i.e. Xyz Summoning, one I constantly use when I duel, and not just against him.) and swearing to high hell and back if he doesn't like someone. However, like Kupoin stated, he IS coming around, and if you joke around with him a little bit (not at his expense) you can usually get a good two or three duels out of him to relieve your own stress, assuming he isn't having an off day. Arguably the closest of the three I've mentioned so far to need to meet a ban hammer.

 

5fdPunch hasn't been an issue for me, but Kupoin's right: he doesn't accept-- or in my case, even acknowledge-- when others tell him about the OPness of some of his cards. (Mostly due to lack of PSCT knowledge, in that not a single card of his, regardless of power, ever has HOPT, and most rarely have OPT.)

 

Otherwise, yes: Kupoin most definitely hit ALL the right nails on the head here: we SERIOUSLY need card moderators.

 

If I were to suggest any, I'd suggest nuclearwhale on the site, and Hintin. Maybe Surveillance, but he's a bit prickish sometimes, so I'm not sure.

 

Oh, and maybe Kupoin. Don't know the guy well enough to say "yeah, he'd make a good mod", but he seems pretty level-headed and decently reasonable.

Christ Kupoin, I havent seen bants like this in a while, calling everyone out kek.

But in all seriousness, someone need to be managing these cards, i don't know how you guys would manage this, but something needs to be done. It could even be a vote system where players vote on cards/archetypes and the creator is notified whether a majority thought it was broken or not.

And seriously, the state this game is in is a complete travesty. I understand the the audience for custom made Yugioh dueling is very small, but i'd rather have no medium to play this than a glitchy, damn-near unplayable, almost rage inducing release such as the one currently in place.

Look at the linked thread to see what members think the card pool should look like for the future. Right now, the idea is that a group of about 3-5 trusted members looks at the cards and determines if they're overpowering or not. Question is if the members in charge of grading will have a diverse range of opinions of what they believe is an acceptable gamestate, and obviously compromise on it if they need to. 

 

Going with some of the suggestions, should probably be fine, but again, the measure isn't set in stone yet (although people are fond of the idea). Again, look at the thread sea linked to.

I know I'm late on the topic of card management. Do most people who play in non-CCG make their cards on ycm? If so, it would be nice if they posted cards on the forum. I've been on here since DP was a desktop program and I'm slow to change. I like to post cards but I know topics now get many views and almost no critiques or comments unless its done in game. We are a community afterall. We should make a community effort toward balancing. I've met a few toxic players but never thought twice about their names

That's the reason why Advanced and Casual exist; latter is for more general stuff, whereas Advanced is for the competitive game (or at least better design than you would in Casual). Casual is partly for newer members and those who aren't as skilled in competition or have been out for a while. That, and review threads if you want to ask people to review your works. 

 

As for the blacklist, you can just change the Snoop Dogg / Kappa icons to other things.

The one time I reviewed a thread, someone got annoyed, snippy, and pointed out my error in PSCT correction in a not-so-constructive or friendly manner.  Turned me off to the idea of reviewing cards.  Casual doesn't get very many reviews, which is a shame.  More people are focused on stuff built for the competitive meta than anything that's designed purely for the sake of design.

For some reason, i cannot upload cards from YCM to Duelporta... i used to do it, but i'm using a different computer, and when i copy the url and paste it, it says "Cards need to have a URL!" for EVERY card i try to paste there, can you help me? :)

 

 

Try replacing the "https" with "http" at the beginning.

After nearly a year and some change of inactivity, I'm curious; how is DP faring? Judging by the odd fanfare that rolls through, it seems to still be kicking, so I logged on to see that I've been set as "balanced" for the few cards I uploaded? Is that a community feature? Also, has there been any recommendations for clearing up the gazillion set lists that tear your eyes out when you search through the different cards? I'm interested in maybe dipping my toes again (although the no-chrome thing with Silverlight is a thorn, as always).

1. It's still running, but basically the new change came around because some users were making extremely broken stuff and we've had no way of controlling it. 

 

That, and DN users coming over and behaving the same way as they did over there. 

 

2. I haven't checked it recently because Linux Firefox doesn't want to load DP, and the IEOnChrome app is somewhat glitchy, but you can probably use the balanced tag or something. 

 

I think it is a community feature (the balanced tag), but yeah. (Not seeing it on stuff I submitted, but either they're buried deep somewhere or they got glanced over. I don't submit too much though)

 

----

If you want to use DP on Chrome, get that app listed above.

I saw a lot of users make custom tokens for their decks, and banishing them at the start of the duel so they can use them properly. Wouldn't it be possible to place them in the extra deck, or have the token button generate an Extra Deck-esque screen where you can pick the token you want? That'd be convenient, yet not very important. Just a random idea.

DP doesn't work on chrome.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ie-tab/hehijbfgiekmjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd?hl=en-US

 

Download this extension, then click the little "e" symbol on the top right of chrome after entering the website for DP. Chrome does not have Silverlight built in, and this extension will re-display the page under Internet Explorer instead, which does have Silverlight extension built-in. Hope this helps.

Good idea, and it's easy to do. I'll put it in the next version.
