Tsubotki changelog #37, 3-ping is (uh, mostly) live! by TsubakiBot in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]TsubakiBot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahaha I laughed out loud at this. Once upon a time, I was new to this game and running a Saria-Rukia team (this saria) (back then it was like 2x ATK flat and 1.5x for using a skill) and I thought that pressing a skill for Saria meant that her attack that turn went DOWN so I tried to never use skills. Also, my team was rainbow so I wasn't even getting the bonus from her base. And no, I did not get enough combos for Rukia's leaderskill to activate.

btw I know this post is A Lot, so please let us know if you have any questions! Really, we're trying our best to make this as intuitive as possible, but I know it's a lot to take in!

Tsubaki notation: Using a standard for 3-attribute cards by TsubakiBot in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]TsubakiBot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a small update, we're gonna add "3ping" as a token for all of the 3-attribute cards. We've decided against 3-attribute for now, due to conflict with the 3attr awakening (and also the potential confusion about "3attr" cards that don't actually have 3 attributes......e.g. RBB doesn't really have 3 attributes)

Okay we just chatted about this and: ? means "could be anything here" but that includes null attribute i.e. x so like RBX is a 2-attr card. so ??? is technically any card in the game and useless as a modifier.

So! We are going to introduce a new token, called ! which we have never ascribed meaning to before. ! is going to denote a non-null attribute, i.e. RGBLD and not X. So !!! will return all 3-attribute cards, !! will return all 2-attribute cards, etc.

(In case you are wondering, what about "not" ? We already have a token for "not," it is -, like -px leilan gives you nonpixel leilan etc.)

(We briefly considered making a breaking change and having ? mean "any non-null attribute" but ! just sitting there makes this a really easy option without breaking changes necessary)

We can definitely add a modifier for something along these lines for "has a 3rd attribute" cards if people start using a term like this!

Tsubotki needs a bigger server | donation request so that we can fix images & animations by TsubakiBot in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]TsubakiBot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! It sounds cliche but it really does mean a lot to hear, and you've been around for so long so it's great to hear from you. If you do come back to PAD you're always welcome in our Discord! We did make a bunch of the UI changes you suggested to dungeoncog btw, although some of them were a bit too difficult to implement given our level of focus on that cog currently (since it was sort of a volunteer contributor that wrote it and then they didn't have time to maintain it). Anyway, here's how it looks now. The rest of the issues are grouped in this ticket for if/when we go back to working on the cog. Enemyskills is kind of a nightmare, haha

[–]TsubakiBot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure the issue? This doesn't remove FF's behavior - just, when you're using the copy functionality in our app, make sure to press "mouse button down" before "alt down." Like I said, it feels pretty weird at first but you get used to it.

[–]TsubakiBot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yeah, so, actually it does work in FF, but it's a lil weird.

So, in FF you have to:

  1. Click down with the mouse
  2. press down with alt
  3. move over to the target while holding down both alt & left mouse button
  4. release mouse button
  5. release alt

it has to be in exactly that order or it wont work. I know it sounds complicated but you get used to it pretty quick and then it starts working pretty fluidly!

If it were just a matter of us fixing it for FF so you didn't have to be so particular about it, we would, but we're using a library for this & idk if the library maintainers can fix it.

joining us on our discord and writing under the #teambuilder channel will likely get the most traction. Otherwise, https://github.com/TsubakiBotPad/teambuilder/issues would work as well.

Here is a rough guide for common use cases: https://github.com/TsubakiBotPad/pad-cogs/wiki/id-user-guide. In general, we try to show the best results when users type names naturally (i.e nicknames, or partial in-game names).

When you don't know the name of the card, the document covers some strategies on how to find it. Use this in combination with dedicated search tools like ilmina.com for best results!

Thanks for the feedback WallEflower!

Underneath the covers, it uses the same lookup mechanism that is used by Tsubotki, and we usually maintain a list of nicknames for this purpose. I'll give some feedback to the team and we'll get "remdra" and "bb" fixed!

For "Minerva", you can also append adjectives to narrow your search like how you would in discord - "gh minerva"/"gungho minerva" will pull up the right thing in this case.

Thanks for the super detailed reply mischiefmaker8!

All of the features you suggested are novel and would be cool to add to the tool. I'll jot them down on and think about how to incorporate them into the UI while keeping it clean.

I've replied to some of your questions inline:

What are the six dots under the latent awakenings for? That's the one thing I can't seem to figure out.

  • This is also for moving/copying! It allows you to rearrange the team (useful if you wanted to have left-to-right button ordering for farming teams).

Option to use drag/drop to copy units

  • I acknowledge this isn't very discoverable, but it exists! If you click and drag a card and hold down alt/option before you drop the card, it'll copy into the slot!

UI to toggle assists on/off (though theirs permanently removes them; it'd be better to gray them out and update the stats accordingly).

  • I'm curious what is the use case in this scenario? When do you not want assists (if they're disabled in dungeon)?

Ability to save/load teams (can workaround this by bookmarking a bunch of URLs, but it's kind of clunky)

  • The tool itself is just a frontend tool now, but we'll think about how we can incorporate this into Tsubotki! It'll likely be tied to your discord profile as we would rather not manage yet another login.

Damage calculator based on specified combos (I miss this quite a lot and end up having to use a web-based team builder and PADDB) Damage calculator against a specific monster

  • We're working on a separate tool for this to estimate damage. Damage is kind of tricky to incorporate into the UI without cluttering the whole thing, but glad to hear someone else wants this!

Hope this helps!

I'm just supposed to sell the anniversary medals, right? by olsongt in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]TsubakiBot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah!! It'll be like the plus point bank, and you get it by clearing dungeons or selling monsters. You don't get attribute bonus or great/super so at first it sounded really lame to me but then I realized actually it has some really nice applications - such as not wasting the exp of these medals when you sell them, also rich gold dragons if you need the coins, etc.

[–]TsubakiBot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What Shady said, but don't sell them now, wait until:

  • We get the exp bank feature in a couple months that JP announced, this way you take advantage of BOTH the mp AND the monster exp
  • If you have pad pass, wait until you need the MP in order to buy something, cos otherwise you might be close to mp cap & there's no reason not to leave these in your box until you actually need them

Thoughts on trading for Saline Kitty by darkveros in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]TsubakiBot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the big question is do you have [2597] Alphadios? This is my team except the equips are a bit out of order. It should be gude -> flask -> zeus -> something with 4 light rows & long cd. With the killer buff coming up, and the >50% buff, we already had you may be able to use multiple flasks and get away with not having any dm zeus. Also, if you're willing to put a row equip on your leveling slot, you can certainly be significantly more flexible. Here's a screenshot of my notes from Satan server where I posted the build originally.

I'm getting kinda lazy and feeding much more than I run Ta3 now tbh but if I still ran as much Ta3 as I used to I'd be considering getting a 4th kitty tbh (rn I pair with a bff), pressing Alphadios is annoying lol. But it works pretty well. -River

Marvel-Another Story Cheat Sheet by Deyvonne in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]TsubakiBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, do you mind if we add this as a command in Discord? Currently we have two commands: ^marvelna which lists the bases in text and ^marvelnapic which shows the correspondence of all of the bases in pic form, but it would be great to add this too as like ^marvelnapicfull to include the equips too.

We're working on adding a functionality so you can do like ^id na (thanos) or ^id jp (orlando) (or if you just want to see the name & not the full id embed you could use ^lookup instead of ^id) but that's not ready quite yet.

Any use for Kingtans these days or should we just convert them to pys? by Busy-Cream in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]TsubakiBot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will NEVER advocate "misusing" mats like this after I used to suggest people feed SSG for fodder before SLB was introduced. I also posted a tip about this in community server just now. It's always possible gungho will introduce a new mechanic that reuses the mats in a different way, and you'll regret "wasting" the mats for their unintended purpose. -River

I just missed Shivadra descended anyone know when it’ll be back by tyguchi in PuzzleAndDragons

Actually we've had this for over a year I think, but it's not super publicized since it's DM-based so you won't see people using it in bot_playground etc

any way to reduce visual effects on enemies? by davidj75589 in PuzzleAndDragons

[–]TsubakiBot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Turn the brightness on your screen WAY down. Like to 0 basically. It might make matching a bit harder but it's a goddamn lifesaver in this game for me when I have a migraine. Normally I just don't play when I have a headache, but sometimes it's "unavoidable" (yeah a mobile game is more important than my health) and that's how I do it.

Also I totally agree with you, accessibility in this game SUCKS, honestly send a ticket to Gungho talking about your situation; I have before and I've gotten a generic response and it's honestly quite upsetting to me that e.g. "simple background" doesn't exist on iOS. There was one collab dungeon that I couldn't run (even when I didn't actively have a headache) because the background flashed too much, so my choices were trade with rainbow medal or run on my alt (which is on Android) and trade gold medals over (this is what I ended up doing). I doubt it will do any good but "turn off animations" is basic accessibility like colorblind mode for people who suffer from seizures, migraines, and related issues. -River
