How are you guys not burnt out from all the grinding?
It's just too time consuming. I expected it but my nostalgia made me give it a go. After 6 weeks I just don't feel like playing anymore. Manually clicking on all the duelists to auto-duel several times every day to slowly level up your character, farming the event duelist several times every day for the week of the event, getting the 100 PvP wins each season, waiting 8 hours for the card trader to update, grinding to get enough gold, UR/SR and attribute gems, barely getting any gems past the first weeks of playing, the card you want being in one of the last packs, waiting for an event to happen again... it's all so tiresome. The worst thing is that the game doesn't really let you take a break. After all what limited cards are you going to miss out on! When you have to adjust so much to the game you are not playing the game but the game is playing you.
Jackson Evans
He was supposed to be in the Tyrant mini-box but switched him for shallow grave
Asher Hernandez
Song is good but visuals are extremely lame
Jason Torres
I don't farm the gate anymore so I don't really end up grinding much anymore. Just clearing SDs twice a day, maybe do event stuff, then PvPing the rest of the time. Gate farming was killing me.
Nicholas Morgan
I mean, if you don't want Econ's or Champion Vigilance's, go ahead and keep being a whiner, you do you baboo.

>The worst thing is that the game doesn't really let you take a break. After all what limited cards are you going to miss out on! When you have to adjust so much to the game you are not playing the game but the game is playing you I feel you user. I hate how you need to be constantly playing the game so you won't lose an event exclusive cards, gems or characters. At first the game is fun but eventually it becomes a chore. If i wouldn't love Yugioh so much i would have dropped this game a long time ago. Now im trying to stop playing it everyday and just have it on my phone and play whenever i feel like it. I'll get my ass kicked online but its impossible to stay on top if you don't play the game religiously
Henry Hill
But I already have 3 econs.
Kevin Reed
>Get to Legend >It's filled with cheating gooks I wish Kim would take a shot at Seoul already so that whole fucking patch of cunting dirt can get glassed
Mason Bell
so can every duelist get balance as a drop from the duelests at the gate?
Juan Russell
no
Lincoln Richardson
Konami will fear the samurai
Nathan Perry
This will get a summon animation, right?
Parker Cooper
was watching some old season yugioh and what the fuck
Daniel Gomez
It's pretty fun to play. Want to improve it as soon as I get some other stuff like DiscRider or Bazoo or at least a 2nd insect imitation.
Joseph Reyes
is this a jojo reference?
Julian Moore
Why does ranked duels suck now?
I'm in gold 1 and every duel is against a former KoG
I can't even fuck around with meme decks anymore
Luke Kelly
Because the ladder JUST reset last night?
Lucas Smith
>74 packs in >got all UR, but Blue-Eyes Ultimate, Fusion Gate and fucking Sphire Kuriboh Fuck
Gabriel Sanchez
Pretty sure the changed the algorithm. It's not random anymore
Brayden Campbell
The fuck is that even suppose to mean?
Jackson Diaz
ooh looks cool and sounds fun
Lincoln Anderson
>3 wonder ballons
Fucking why m8
Jackson Sanders
that prismatic money wall tho
Juan Murphy
Post your deck that you'll be using to get KoG this season.
Nicholas Walker
>go into casual >GRANDPA'S CARDS XDDD GRANDPAS DECK HAS NO BAD CARDS XD
Nathaniel Hill
Cause I can tribute them for one another and the Gustav can use the spell in graveyard. As soon as I get a Bazoo the Souleater I'll change things up. Prolly make it 2 balloons, a sphere kuriboh for defenses, prolly change up without the wind fields or some other useful stuff.
Parker Johnson
This deck only works because of that skill that cucks phoenix and red eyes desu senpai Yes, but anything can destroy your ballons, you have no defense, it would be just better to just slap some staple cards like econ, kuriboh or srh
Samuel Ortiz
I kinda know this feel. I have 9 URs in Ult Rising with only 101 packs invested. Sweet fuckin deal, right? 9 URs for only half the box. But the single UR I'm missing is Kuriboh.
Carson Lee
Too bad all of the rest are useless junk.
Dominic Baker
I understand where you're coming from, but it's really not as bad as you're saying. It sounds like you're looking at DL as more of a single player game that should be beaten as fast as possible, when it's more like a MMO, it's going to be slow and steady & you never "beat the game"
>Manually clicking on all the duelists to auto-duel several times every day to slowly level up your character Why do you need to level up chars right away? Barring fish decks, toons, etc, you don't need the LV up cards. Just go at your own pace, there's no reason to rush to duel every SD every day. I have most of my chars at LV35+, and I just duel the SDs during events so I also get the event currency.
>Farming the event duelist several times every day for the week of the event The gate events are pretty fun, since you're nearly guaranteed to get the rewards. Roaming duelists can suck a dick though, and konami will probably change these for the better soon
>Getting the 100 PvP wins each season There's no getting around this one. If you don't enjoy PvP in duel links, yeah the 100 wins will seem horrible. But I dunno what to say, if you don't enjoy pvp, then there's really nothing to be said.
>Waiting 8 hours for the card trader to update Same with char lv ups, you really don't NEED any card trader cards, barring a few (cerb, hammer shark, riryoku, etc). It's frustrating to have to wait, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.
>Grinding to get enough gold, UR/SR and attribute gems Just by dueling SDs and doing events, you should be good on all 3. Again, it's not a single player game that should be beaten ASAP. You can't spend currency on cards you don't need.
>Barely getting any gems past the first weeks of playing This is the main issue of the game. But honestly, they have done a really good job of leveling the playing field recently. You can easily hit KoG just by using naturia, and that's a really easy deck to build.
Nathan Ross
Cucks control decks as well since they depend on you to attack their monster. Only loses hard to fish fags.
Hudson Gonzalez
>Just go at your own pace, there's no reason to rush to duel every SD every day. No matter how you put it, it's still shit. Sometimes there is a good lvl reward or trader card and naturally you want it to play in a deck because that's what yugioh is for. But suppose you don't hurry, that's still hundreds of clicking chore on sds for one char and you are just spreading out the chore over many days or on a different day, etc. so that you eventually get it but that isn't any better it's still way too long for a shit chore.
Anthony Gray
you dont know real pain.
im down to like 80 something packs in crimson kingdom and i only have TWO URs
Bentley Evans
>only 1 spell power grasp in minibox when effect literally expects you to have more than one of it >have to reset many times while also getting crimson and maybe exemplar from dod (2 counters instead of 1), all to make meme citadel+megaton cannon or endymion deck >activating cannon is 20 click >probably not even better than toons
Austin Martin
>another FUCKING day the card trader doesnt have the card I want
KONAMI YOU WILL LEARN TO FEAR THE MONSTER YOU CREATED
David Ross
>Jewnami releases Silent magician "coincidentally" with manlet yugi's release >Komoney lets everyone and their mom get access to red eyes insight and spirit because they realized their missing out on profits from retards buying Crimson Kingdom 3 times Anyone else aware of their jew tactics?
Evan Harris
>"coincidentally" It's quite obvious they put in Silent Magician intentionally. I'm not talking about them doing it sneakly or underhandedly, I mean they did it under no pretensions of it being a coincidence or surprise.
Nathan Thompson
>not making yugi a gate duelist >not making silent magician and its support cards as lvl 40 drops
>tfw got what I wanted >tfw all it did was make me wish I had a frognarch deck
Ian Wood
When did you start playing the game?
Lincoln Bennett
Damn Yugioh music used to be so good but now they are pretty lame. What happened? The latest Yugioh Anime had only one good OP and it isn't even that good
>He still hasn't learned to trick the desire sensor.
Landon Miller
Just tried this. It's fun but fuck selecting every counter separately
Landon Hall
>Drop from Gold 4 to Gold 1 playing meme decks >I can earn the rewards for the gold ranks that I was dropping through Working as intended
Mason Richardson
>tfw you actually depend on luck of the draw to win because your deck is a shitty "maybe this will work" meme deck >tfw your main hero is joey >tfw you edge out wins against korean players
this must be the true duel links experience
Sebastian Harris
And think of this, since GX will be a separate world, it will more than likely have its own events. There's a good chance you will have to grind DM and GX events at the same time once GX starts
Zachary Long
Rate meme Just got League with R ticket
Grayson Williams
wow every deck kaiba players use are cancerous
Angel Perez
In some way Duel links it's a little harsh on new players, they may give cheaps meta decks, but when it comes to event exclusives or farming LDs, they are WAY behind. And now adding new series and more cards to get
Isaac Williams
What has everyone gotten from the lottery so far? Just 1 barrel and 1 horn so far from at least! 2.5k+coins... Feel robbed
Jose Powell
Seriously Konami needs to do something about that. I'm still waiting for the Pegasus event to come back
Robert Green
Every single card except for Barrel Dragon which i don't acre because i don't have Pegasus
Christopher Jenkins
Same, I want another toon magician girl for an even more maximum win rate
Gavin Robinson
1 lajinn 1 union attack 4 kuriboh memed a detonate deck for a little so I regret nothing. kinda wish I could make a kuribohfear deck with 3 kuriboh 3 sphere kuriboh 1 relinkuriboh 3 multiple 3 detonate 2 dark necrofear for the memes.
Luke Hernandez
Lucky bastard, I only want them for the sake of collecting event cards. Barrel is OK but hard to pull off since it needs 2 tributes and others only need 1 in a deck that's already pretty scares
Jeremiah Gonzalez
Imagine if we got 2/3 Toon Magician Girl and Toon Rollback.
Ian Garcia
toon barrel dragon doesn't need toon world and can pop backrow so you really don't need pegasus
Cameron Hill
2 Union, 1 Barrel
Jayden Stewart
You guys ever just quit out of a duel because the guy takes too long to play?
Bentley Parker
Why even run it in a non toon deck? Would've been awesome if it came out pre Doxbro nerf
Alexander Barnes
No because that's how some people play to win
Cameron Wood
So you can have 6 barrel dragons in your mausoleum deck obviously. Do you even think before you post?
Isaiah Bell
They'll probably be dumb enough to forget and not take it out... And break the game
Kayden Morgan
if it's kog definitely
Ryan Johnson
Can't wait to kick nostalgiafag asses with best protagonist
Henry Edwards
when will we get to ride bikes and race peole while we duel? imagine obstacles and turns, having to pay attention to turn a bend or dodge an obstacle to not crash all while trying to read cards' text and strategizing.
Parker Russell
>threw together random mako deck >straight to plat 1 from gold 1 with 1 loss wew gold really is the new silver
Isaiah Adams
I think I'm gonna try and make an Orca Fortress deck later on. I tried before we got Legendary Ocean to middling results.
Anthony Bennett
Post dick
Levi Barnes
3D monster holograms when? none of those annoying movements / animations in Player View when?
Jordan Sanchez
Do you think they'll add this to the trader like they did with delta to get more people to buy echoes?
Leo Allen
>liking gx kys
Thomas Kelly
>Not liking GX
Jacob Jones
>quick effect spell negation >floats into 3500 beater Too OP for duel links
James Cooper
I can understand disliking Season 2-3, but 1 is a wonderful mess of corniness and stupid shenanigans.
