Duel Portal - Duel with your created cards [SUPPORT THREAD] [ONLINE]

[Darj]

I see. Just tried to login again and it worked, and I can edit my own cards as usual. Everything looks fine now.

 

EDIT:

On another note, I am interested in the tournament as well.

 

2nd EDIT:

Now I appear as "portalguest###" instead "Voltex" while I'm logged in, it looks like I cannot duel, and I still can't delete cards, getting the "sorry, this feature is not supported for CCGs" message.

[seattleite]

Let me look at it when I get off work. I'll get all the necessary fixes done before the tournament.

[AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW]

So, I decided to work a little on the Staples Set, mostly because I really don't feel like searching through the gigantic list of irrelevant real cards (which I feel is the sole reason for such a Set in the first place). I added a few cards like Lavalval Chain, Forbidden Lance, and TKRO (which I could've sworn was already there? I dunno; I had three TKROs when I checked just now), while at the same time removing cards that are banned (Heavy Storm and Judgment) and cards that aren't really staples anymore (TGU, Gorz, Mirror Force, and even Dark Hole).

 

I'd hardly call myself finished, though. While Pot of Duality is virtually a staple in Decks that can afford to spend a turn on them instead of Special Summoning, I don't feel as if there are enough of those Decks prevalent in the actual game as of right now to actually let it stay on the list. But on the other hand, there's quite a few. And then there is the issue of there being monster cards in the staples list. Most staples tend to be Spells and Traps exclusively, with the exception of a few things like TKRO (at times) and the random Gorz/Scarecrow. I mean, sure, we can have TKRO in there, but what about Lavalval Chain? The fourth Rank is by far the most popular, and Chain is downright absurd sometimes, both of these combining to make it feel like it probably should be there. Except, you know, outside of Decks that can even make them, there is just no point in running it or Dweller or Exciton (which probably miiight get on there if Chain/Dweller stays and I decide to expand the list by a lot) if you can't make it. It kinda feels like Zenmaines back when it was in the list. If I'm running, say, Satellars, just why?

 

I'm willing to discuss with anyone about what cards should count as staples, and thus be in there. While I want this list to be small enough for me to go through and pick out cards like Solemn Warning, I don't want to have to scroll past all of the Crystal Beast support in existence or Double Summon while doing so. But at the same time, it should probably be more than one page long. Should I decide on adding kinda-generic-but-not-really semi-staple cards like Noden+IF? How relevant do the cards need to be to get on/stay on the list? What have I missed? How big is just right?

[rydersilver]

Tourney sounds like fun :) Are you gonna regulate the decks?

 

 

 

Can you post/PM me a URL which is blank?

 

 

 

CCGs (Created Card Games) are for communities who regulate cards / have a specific goal in mind.

 

If you want to switch back to Default, you can at the home screen when you see your profile (yes, you can delete cards in default)

 

If you're interested in CCGs, I've updated the OP with links n stuff.

 

 

This ones blank

createcard.php

Idk thats just the link. if you search on duel portal "ancient fairy dragon" you'll see it.  theres  a lot others like that. Does it only have cards that people upload?

also a card i made, vault of souls the eldunari, is a trap card but its a field spell on ycm.. and when i upload another it doesn't change anything and i can't delete it. editing it doesn't change it either.

my name is rydersilver on DP

Hey guys sorry to bother you, but I keep getting this error when I try to login!

 

 

Does anyone know how to fix it?

I also cant finish loading cards and images, its taking forever, and when I do finish I cant find any set or cards in the editor!

[ToaCody]

Just an FYI for all the new members, DP is a fairly temperamental site that you have to learn how to work with. The best way to do this is to experiment and figure out what works and what doesn't.

 

I'd be interested in a tournament for showing off my set (see sig or look up RRS on DP) but as has been an issue for a while now, I'd need pointers on building passable decks based largely around them.

[rydersilver]

how do you set cards during a duel lol

Also how do you search your deck?

what about taking control of monsters?

[AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW]

Right-click the card, and a bunch of options should come up. Two of them should Set the card (one in the monster zone, the other in the S/T zone).

Also how do you search your deck?

Right-click the Deck. An option should come up.

what about taking control of monsters?

Your opponent has to right-click one of his/her monsters and choose "Change Control" (or something like that).

Well, I have been using the KONAMI set for official cards. I suggest that instead of having a "staples" and a "KONAMI" set, simply merge staples and any other sets with official cards with KONAMI. This is because the staples cardpool shifts with each format, and thus it is pointless to make a list of the current staples when it could become irrelevant in the next months; so why bother? Just put them in the set of official cards and search there for whatever card you need, instead of jumping through multiple sets.

 

That reminds me, I noticed that there is a huge list of different Sets. Why not instead of making, let say, a different set for each archetype you make, just put all your cards into the same set named after your username? That will keep things more clean. For instance, all of my custom cards are in the "VOLTEX" set.

[rydersilver]

Thannkkk you

[seattleite]

Ugh, my bad guys. I thought you were all joining CCGs left and right, but it was a bug. The error should be fixed now.

 

 

also a card i made, vault of souls the eldunari, is a trap card but its a field spell on ycm.. and when i upload another it doesn't change anything and i can't delete it. editing it doesn't change it either.

Ancient Fairy Dragon has the right image. Everytime you look at an image you load it from the server, and occasionally it jams up. I think that's what happened.

 

So wait, Vault of Souls is supposed to be a Trap card or Spell card?

When you try to login, does it take a really long time and then finally, after like 10 seconds, give you that error?

 

Sounds like your internet is just really slow, sorry, not much we can do.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I'm still getting the validation error; could you look into that when you have time?

 

Still have the original code, but can't use it and server gives an error message when I try to send a new code. (Email works properly)

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

You can probably just change the duplicates to some other card; that's what I did (considering DP lagged a bit)

 

Guess I should note this now.

 

 

Nai's going to be busy for the next couple weeks, so I'll be hosting the tournament in their place.

So whatever was mentioned earlier (deck formats and other stuff), PM them to me instead of Nai [you can do it for both, but note that Nai will be inactive].

 

Of course, I should get a new DP account in the meantime while seattelite looks at the validation issue for my regular nick.

[seattleite]

Is there a way to delete my non-public cards?  Because right now I've got two copies of the same card (three if you include the public version) and another card that I was trying to make public but now can't.

 

Version 5.053x fixes the bug that stopped you from deleting cards. If yours still shows 5.052, you need to clear the browser cache.

AFAIK I couldn't find anything wrong with your account (heck, I even logged in as you). Maybe same issue as above - do you have 5.053x?

 

Sorry, but I'm having a problem.

Earlier, I managed to duel once without any kind of problems, but then something weird happened: it didn't let me see other hosted duels (I could host, but the guy I was playing with told me he didn't see me in the host list, though he did see me online). When I tried refreshing the page to log back in, it told me that my password was wrong. Yet, it still let me access the subsections, and when I got back to the login page, it marked me as logged in with my account.

 

Only, I don't have my decks, can't search cards or host duels (the buttons for hosting and joining are grey). Basically, I'm logged in but can't do anything. Any idea about what happened?

 

I'm not sure what happened with the host list thing, but I fixed a bug in 5.0531 - thanks for bringing that to my attention.

 

I PM'd you about the other stuff.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I have version 5.0531 on mine.

But I logged in earlier and everything seems okay for now.

 

It'll be important that I have it working, if I'm hosting this upcoming tournament in Nai's place.

This appeared sometimes.... WHENEVER ANYTHING HAPPENED!

[WolvenDoom]

is there a way to play this without silverlight?

 

cus i cant install anything on current laptop ;~;

[Spinny]

Is there gonna be some sorta DP banlist? Because there isnt gonna be BA or Shadds on there (hopefully) and no Qlips either, so having a banlist thats on a different level of current power-creep doesnt make sense :S

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Unfortunately, you do need to install it.

Yeah, it would be nice if it didn't require it (or its Linux equivalent in my case)

There should be one; and I believe BAs aren't on it.

 

But that's why you need to PM either Nai or myself your Decks, so we can check for that.

Got about 3 more cards to go so ill do that soonish ^^

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Nai and I are working on the tournament thread right now; essentially getting a format ready and other stuff.

 

Out of fairness, we'll need to get a judge to look over the cards.

Will need to be someone who's already passed the judging exam; what was the point of you getting certified if it won't do anything?

[Darj]

I don't think setting a DP banlist from the beginning will work well. I mean, I doubt we all here are familiar with all the cards we have submitted to DP so far, and figuring out which are problematic or not would be too much of a hassle. Sometimes reading the cards is not enough: you have to see them in play to detect unfair interactions.

I suggest to just submit decks and go through the tournament as normal, and depending on the results then work on a DP banlist hitting the cards that deserve it.

[Self-Destruct Button]

Just out of curiosity, Pendulums are not playable on DuelPortal currently, no? Also, will the Tournament that has been talked about so much here be hosted in an extra topic, and you have to sign up for it there, or will it all go down via PM or somewhere else?

That's true Voltex.

Much like how a lot of stuff we talk badly about TCG came out (like the aforementioned), they had to be playtested first to see how destructive they could really be. 

 

 

Out of fairness, I haven't looked at everything people have submitted yet; considering my account has been on the fritz for a while, so couldn't access DP as often. (Also can attribute YGOPro coding to that)

 

 

Anyway, as for the DP tournament, it'll be a separate thread. 

Note that Pendulums don't exist, so if you guys have any, they can't be used.

 

seattelite will probably look into adding them when he has time. 

[Self-Destruct Button]

Alright then, thanks for the quick response. Was just thinking about creating a Pendulum Fusion Archetype, but i'll delay that until they're playable here. 

 

Also, on the Banlist Issue: Wouldn't it be possible to have any competitor of the tournament (which shouldnt be TOO many) playtest against one of the "deck evaluators" so they can well... "evaluate" it and see if any card is broken or not? Community Created ones can be edited, obviously, instead of being straight banned. 

 

And a last question I have: Will the tournamend be with public cards only, or can you also use ones that you didn't make public yet?
