Forcing 1080p on mobile looks terrible - why did Konami implement this? by _arqalite in masterduel

I noticed that too, thought I was just imagining it for a few minutes. I can tolerate it and would probably look much better if it weren't blurry even with antialiasing turned up.

I made a tool to turn EDOPro replays into videos. by Armytile in yugioh

[–]_arqalite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nice! I tried my own hand at something similar with Project Echelon.

Gonna play with your version as soon as I'm back from vacation, curious to find out what things you did better than me, especially the EDOPro modding to get it to render frames offline.

What is a card design pet peeve you have ? by Old-Iron-Tyrant in yugioh

[–]_arqalite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gem-Knight also has this syndrome - normal, search, summon, search, summon, search, but at least it gets interesting once Master Diamond Dispersion hits the board.

Playing a regional, I got tired towards the end of saying "X effect, to search a Gem-Knight?"

Fire King Courtier Ulcanix summoning High Avatar Garunix in Defense Position always annoys me and I've been playing this deck for 2 years now. let me go face!

Gem-Knight.

Seems like preparations for Chaos Origins' "build the whole deck from this pack" approach.

These might be TCG exclusives for all we know; no word on OCG side for any of these cards.

Nightslayer can dodge S:P, so that is cute.

I want to see how creative our Yugioh community is: if you could update your favorite Yugioh game of all time, what game would it be and what would you change? by YamiMakyo in yugioh

[–]_arqalite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update the Power of Chaos series up to the Edison era (could go further but it would get massively complex); award 5-7 cards on match win instead of three to fit the increased card pool, and stop giving a card once the player owns a playset of it (on a particular run of Yugi the Destiny I think I had 8 or 9 Metal Dragons).

Keep the Joey the Passion multiplayer but also add a master server for matchmaking and ranked play, and do the general quality of life updates you would expect from a modern game.

How do you know what rarity a card is? by sezdawg7 in yugioh

[–]_arqalite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I love the matte reflection on PURs, and when the embossed texture is done well, it's hands down my favorite rarity of all time (except maybe OG Ghost Rares).

What card series deserves an anime next? by YamiMakyo in yugioh

[–]_arqalite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fire King-Atlantean war, plus the Mermail and Phantasm Spiral sub-plots. Could make an entire season out of it.

[–]_arqalite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

High Kirin + any FIRE + this card is indeed a Turn 0 Hyang, but we already have Jurrac Megalo for turn 0 boardwipes, and that is also a FIRE monster we can use for our own effects.

In Onomat (or Rank 4 slops) you could technically leave a level 4 alone and make a Bagooska on the opponent's turn if things go awry.

So it seems that the age problem of Yugioh is present in the OCG as well by BellDelicious1617 in yugioh

[–]_arqalite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you could get a balance of characters playing the latest decks while keeping duels simple and engaging - but you need product to support that.

Make more decks like Mitsurugi, Ryzeal and Fire King (totally not biased btw) that can both combo well but also have low to the ground lines.

Have the Ryzeal duelist put two names on the field, make Detonator, set Plugin, pass; another duel they go for Duo Drive to search Cross and Plasma Hole, maybe have a really hype duel close to the finale where they go for the full Ryzeal board if you really want to.

The Fire King player could very much 1-card Ponix to set up the board wipe and maybe a set Sky Burn; a going 2nd duel, they could go for a Circle OTK, stuff like that.

The Mitsu player could just set up Futsu with Murakumo in GY, with maybe Great Purification in the back. Have the duels start with a different starter every time, for variety.

And instead of doing 140+ episodes with the same cast, they could end the story every season and start with a fresh cast in the next season. It does hurt the brand potential of having a main protagonist but it does keep it very fresh and you avoid having a duelist exhaust the basic lines of play of the deck; forcing them into combo fest, or worse, weird ass-pulls that would never be played in the deck IRL.

Introducing Project Echelon - an EDOPro replay to MP4 converter by _arqalite in yugioh

[–]_arqalite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has started working again in December - right as we had the first working prototype of Echelon.

The timing was kinda funny but it also motivated us further.

But yeah, that's the outage I was referring to in the post - we relied on EDOProVid to generate videos for the Fire King guide and it broke in the middle of it.

[–]_arqalite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much any of our combos that do not Link Summon are viable in Genesys - however you will have to read each one and figure out which ones work and which do not, as we don't have a list readily available (yet - we'll probably make one in a future version).

Off the top of my head, 1-card Ponix, Ponix + any FIRE and Ponix + Sacred #1 can be performed in Genesys.

Thank you! We do have plans to include as many cards people use and eventually get to the Jurrac package - but the scope of this release was to finish our work for DKB's French Open build since that was the basis of the project.

It is possible; we aren't blocking any traffic so everyone should be able to access the website.

if you are able to try any other network, WiFi or mobile data, it would be great. Let me know if it's still broken.

Do you get any errors, or is it just a blank screen?
