I got a 25th anniversary box earlier this month and after opening it, I noticed the quarter century secret rare has a 25 in the description box. Neat.

Ok, I take back what I said days ago.

While I don’t like the surrendering, the maratonic effect chains in Master Duel makes it understandable why would someone would surrender if they know they can’t win…if only because having many cards to resolve makes the experience a time bomb if nothing else and when you can’t win it means you’d rather play another duel instead, win or loss whatever comes next.

Duel Link’s Zombie Necromancy structure deck reminds me of why I love zombie monsters so much.

@CloudMistDragon
OK. The way you phase it was odd, but I think I get you. They share the characters and focused mechanic of the season.

@Meanlucario
They don’t follow the stories of the anime shows, but they still have elements from the generations that they’re part of, thus they show people what those generations are like.

@CloudMistDragon
Do you mean part of their own continuity?

@Meanlucario
They indeed are. However, the stories in the manga are still part of the later generations.

@CloudMistDragon
Pretty sure the manga and anime are two very different stories after DM.

@Meanlucario
Being someone who didn’t stay into the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime after the second generation, I only know what I do about the later generations from reading manga books and playing the video games. XP

It’s weird thinking about how someone who only watched the dub of 5Ds learning about the Z-One arc through Duel Links.

FFS!!

All I know is that I need to get more people into Duel Links for those free gems.

@Meanlucario
I understand.
Though the ranks often reset in each season.

But again that kind of depends on the ranking perspective, so again ragequitting feels more subjective ultimately at least to me, which is better than flat out being an unhelpful action.

@Twi Clown
You forget that you need a consistent win-streak to rank up as well, making losing look even worst.

@Meanlucario
Seems weird, I dunno. You’d need to have an exceptionally huge loose streak for that.
Then again I don’t know how competitive players work around that.

So I’ll take is a competitive issue rather than casual play.

@Twi Clown
Could also be that they don’t want to rank out and see a DC as the better alternative.

@Meanlucario
You get rewards regardless if you win or lose which you can use to upgrade your decks and you literally wouldn’t die in the process.
I have a hard time sympathizing with that logic since ragequitting deprives you of any reward whatsoever.

@Twi Clown
I’m guessing that people just want the victory rewards and nothing else.

Why on earth Master Duel and Duel Link players have a tendency to ragequit so often?

Duel Links is doing a friend-invite event at the moment. Mine is 001fmvzxd7hy if anyone is interested in giving me free gems.

Speaking of…this mf and shiranui are wrecking havoc in the KC cup.
I’m glad I never invested in either. Peeps are wasting their money XP Just like I did with Invoker back in the day and then the ban list came and killed it.

@Meanlucario
Forbidden Memories and Duelists of the Roses are definitely not just simulators of the card game, but there were also old games that were mostly just simulators of the old format, like The Eternal Duelist Soul. Heck, I actually played the Power of Chaos trilogy on the computer as a kid back when the games were new, even once saw a video showing footage of Kaiba the Revenge as an example of how the old school format was much slower.

@Meanlucario
Talking about the past formats/set of card pools.
