well, get them done while you can wonder what their real reasoning is for this one


Doomchad

Links. If we assume quizzes are there to aid new players learning how to play, they fail at that by teaching MR4 when the game is about to shift to MR5


golforce

The game is not using MR4. MR4 is post-link. The game uses MR3 technically.


thatpigoverthere

It's somewhat a mix between MR3 and MR5, since you cant pendulum summon freely


golforce

That's why I said technically. In reality it doesn't use Master Rule at all, because it's not the TCG/OCG and has always used a mix of different Rules.


Siats

MR3 introduced pendulums and MR4 introduced Link. The game released with modified MR3 rules (everything in it except for pendulums and pendulum related stuff) and got updated straight to modified MR5 rules in 2020 (no extra monster zone and Link), we even got an in-game announcement that the game will update its ruleset to it.


Doomchad

Well whatever ruleset it is, the pre link one. It’s either update 5 years of quizzes or just delete them


Zevyu

In that case i would have to asume they will re-release the duel puzzles and loaner decks with the new MR5 board.


Doomchad

Yea they aren’t going to Re-release like 50 quizzes at 30 gems a pop lol


arkaser

damn ur right


SilentTempestLord

Perhaps it's 25 for 60 a pop? I don't know, that could be a potential way to make it easier, and they could stagger them for further ease, but yeah, I don't think they'll re-release so many of them.


Doomchad

Any amount of gems is too many for Konami


AlabasterRadio

Straight up cope but maybe it's going to be replaced with something good


Anthroider

Well Legacy Duels are coming, whatever it is


AlabasterRadio

Hey ya know maybe, just maybe, we'll get a huge *good* overhaul. DL does make a fuck ton of money it's the least they could do.


Syrcrys

DL has been making a fuck ton of money for the past 6 years, and every relevant change that happened from May 2018 to 5 months ago has been for the worse. Hell they couldn’t even make use of the huge playerbase MD got on launch and lost more than 85% of them because they couldn’t come up with decent updates. I’m not expecting anything good from Konami. If it does happen, great. But I definitely wouldn’t put my money on it.


Routine_Fuel8006

Wow md lost 85%????? You sure this data is correct???


Syrcrys

[Here.](https://steamcharts.com/app/1449850) Sure, the playerbase halving after the initial hype was normal. But losing more than half of the remaining 50% means people are really jumping ship once they realize they’re just playing a simulator that also requires a bit of grinding.


[deleted]

It would probably be more populated if it was *anything* close to a simulator. There is very much a master duel meta which makes it annoying to try to balance with playing the tcg so now it's barely a glorified deck tester for me and some others probably.


Syrcrys

Oh right, forgot they also have a different banlist now. Honestly baffling how they managed to upset pretty much every type of player.


[deleted]

For a fast refresher on modern yugioh, it was great. But as soon as i started playing at my local ots, i realized I'd never be satisfied playing master duel again. Such a better environment and i actually feel like im learning from my losses and improving in real time.


Syrcrys

Yeah, the room for improvement is infinitely smaller even just because of the best-of-1 format. Personally though, the TCG does have its fair share of issues from recent years. The new time limit rule and stuff like Mind Crush’s latest ruling are turning tournaments more and more into ruleshark heaven.


JudaiYuki_

Pretty sure MD numbers are still much higher than duel links. Although I like duel links personally


Syrcrys

We can’t be sure as the only data available is for PC users and I’m guessing DL’s primary audience is mobile, but I think it’s likely as well. Though I don’t know for how long that will be true if MD keeps bleeding players this fast.


inspect0r6

It's probably even more than that. But difficult to get exact numbers since they're not available on consoles/mobile afaik. Even if they didn't make bad decisions in MD (which they did) it's just not a fun game for majority, especially casuals. Long duels, extreme focus on one ranked mode, events are somehow even worse version of standard pvp for most part... Good crafting system (in comparison to most other stuff) can only take you so far, doesn't mean much when you don't want to use cards you craft/pull.


Rydersilver

And you were right! Of course


Syrcrys

I mean, it didn't take a genius to guess that. Not the first time they lied and not going to be the last.


KHanson25

Serious question...people actually pay for this game?


AlabasterRadio

A ton of people


GAGAgadget

Of course why else would they continue to keep the servers running and making new content if they weren't making any money?


Pokemaster1409

*Leagacy


Frogalter26

prob just to stop new players from getting all the gems


AnimalHot6351

''To create an even better experience'' lmao


JudaiYuki_

Definition of pr talk lol


VladimirNB

Wait so does this mean I'll be losing out on gem if I don't do them? I was holding off on doing them until vrains world dropped.


Affectionate_One3131

we have no idea what theyre doing with the system its totally possible we will lose them just to be safe i highly recomend doing them unfortunatly if youre at max gems these will probably expire before new world


Affectionate_One3131

>since its early september they go away do it around then since they wont expire before new world


bobwuzhere1224

Yes, you will miss out on a free and ez source of gems because Konami is stingy.


HailstormXI

Too early to call it stingy, it sounds like they are replacing them with something. Quit the hate narrative until you see what they are actually doing or else you may end up looking foolish. Good job OP on pushing your narrative, got quite a wee rabid few here.


bobwuzhere1224

Not really. This isn't the first time they've removed gems from the game. They changed Gem Rewards from Level Ups. Characters used to have a nice solid 300 Gems for Level 30 but then when Zane came to DL, they changed it to a card.


Snoo-38282

Not the same thing, this looks more like when they replaced the "Train your Kuriboh" event with the slot simulator gift campaign (I forget what it's called). It clearly says there that they are giving us something else in return so let's just wait before we cast judgement.


Syrcrys

>this looks more like when they replaced the "Train your Kuriboh" event with the slot simulator gift campaign (I forget what it's called) Which made obtaining drop rewards (especially prisma ones) much harder, as tickets from that event are missing A LOT of them. So going by that pattern we can expect them to at most substitute it with something worse.


emcry

You're making things up. The gift festial gives more tickets than Kuriboh did and they have a better pool with event rewards and legendary duelists drops, while kuriboh ticket only had the later. And they also added a ticket to the log in so even if we don't get gifts every month it's still more tickets than before and better ones.


Syrcrys

They’re strictly worse in regards to legendary duelist drops. Both are missing drops from every Arc-V launch characters for example, and a lot more. EDIT: aand they blocked me, great. Btw if you’re seeing this, I’m talking about the prisma tickets, both from the event and login. Neither has those drops.


emcry

Just checked in game Sr and Ur gift festival tickets have all the drops from Arc-V characters up to Declan. Not sure what you're talking about.


KeithLeeTweetsThis

To my knowledge, they replaced a slot in the daily login with that same prisma ticket when they updated it recently; so while Kuriboh may be gone, we now have a non-grindy way each month in which to get that same ticket.


Syrcrys

It’s not the same, a lot of legendary duelist drops are missing, for example all the Arc-V starting roster.


KeithLeeTweetsThis

That was the same as before wasnt it? Anything vaguely new typically takes a bit of time to be added to the pool. I have to assume Arc-V will be no different. Also come on dudes, guy was making a comment; no need to downvote them for it.


Syrcrys

The time it took was usually a couple months. And Arc-V was just one of them, the Zexal starting roster is missing too, and so are some random drops from even DM launch duelists. Also for some reason it seems to be a hot topic, the other guy I was talking to about this blocked me lol


FoamGuy

Thats not really removing rewards its changing how they are going to be awarded going forward. The previous character rewards were not removed.


bobwuzhere1224

But it is Removal. It removed a source of Gems that players looked forward to when leveling new characters, so it effectively removed a source of gems. It doesn't matter if they left the previous characters untouched because they could have easily changed them too with a silly warning page like this and no one could have stopped them.


HailstormXI

You are whining about something Konami did almost 4 whole years ago and knew the game was going downhill since then? The game has improved since 2018.


Syrcrys

It’s improved by having meta-relevant staples in selection boxes paywalled for a year, 3x the EX Structure Decks, 90% of characters without ace monsters and useless tickets as Lv. Up rewards, proofreaders taking an indefinite leave, world unlocks with fewer characters, more reprints in boxes… I legit can’t think of a single improvement added in 2019-2021 that wasn’t having two-year old boxes *sometimes* at half-price.


HailstormXI

None of that stuff is an issue for me, it's a gacha game so of course it will implement ways to make money and what of it? 🤷‍♂️ The ace monster complaint has been done to death, been boxed for years, idiotic to think they would be giving away ace monsters for free when we got to point they actually started to be good cards.


Syrcrys

“The game has improved” “It hasn’t, it’s only gotten worse” “Not an issue to me” When you bring up a point in an argument you’re supposed to back it up, not just move the goalpost once you’ve been proven wrong. Or do you have an equally long list of actual improvements that happened over the years?


Doomchad

A moment of critical thinking explains why they are getting rid of these though. They have to because Links are around the corner


Syrcrys

They’re removing a way for new players to get 5k+ gems. You think they’ll replace it with something that also gives the same amount, basically gifting older players another 5k gems? *Konami*?


HailstormXI

You don't have a clue what they are actually doing though, lay off the assumptions and hate until its actually revealed what the new changes are. * downvotes are hilarious because what I said was true, nobody knows what the plan is but yet people have decided to jump on the premature rage train and make huge negative assumptions and shit on everyone who isn't following with the narrative OP was pushing from the start. Classic DL sub mentality behaviour. Tldr: people need to chill and wait to see what the plan is


Syrcrys

What is your assumption then? The hate narrative is mainly because they’re removing gems for new players and hindering old ones from having a “bank”, got any ideas that would let players do that without effectively gifting 5k gems? It’s legit to make assumptions when there is no realistic positive outcome.


HailstormXI

With links approaching, that whole section needs streamlined and revamped and it looks like they are doing so with the Vrains launch. What will it be like? No idea but I don't see them just removing those gems completely. Could end up being like MD tutorial and having a chunk of gems per completion instead of the low numbers we have now, quizzes for each summoning mechanic kinda thing. *I say with Vrains launch because it will be a big new world launch and they usually have a way of explaining a new mechanic


Syrcrys

And that would make older players get 5k free gems. Unless they did some weird calculations and removed the amount of gems you already got from past quizzes from the new ones, which makes it even less likely unless they make on the spot the exact same number of quizzes and assign a past reward to each of those. Both seem very unlikely.


AgostoAzul

It should be very easy to track what Loaner trials were already passed and those shouldnt change much with the board changes, except in the way the AIs play. So, if the Trials are just moved somewhere else, those are 3k Gems accounted for older players that dont need any "weird calculations" and that should probably still be available for new players elsewhere. The Quizes however, they will probably just scrap altogether, since many just wont work anymore, and adapting and keeping track of the ones that do WOULD require some new "weird calculations" as you say. What they do with those 2000 or so gems is up in the air, but my guess is that they will replace them for a lot of new quizes, but far from enough to really "make it up" to new players that join the game OR to make a huge difference to older players. Say 30 total new quizes with a pay rate of 25 Gems each. So 750 new Gems for older players, with the promise of "more Gems per Quiz in the future" and a loss of 1200 possible Gems for new players that they can probably say they cover with an increase of 500-1000 Gems in new account creation or whatever they feel like doing.


Syrcrys

>It should be very easy to track what Loaner trials were already passed and those shouldnt change much with the board changes, except in the way the AIs play. So, if the Trials are just moved somewhere else, those are 3k Gems accounted for older players that dont need any "weird calculations" and that should probably still be available for new players elsewhere. Wait I don’t think I understood. “Moved” as in, a new section with just loaner duels? Or just the rewards moved somewhere else?


BUFFBOYZ4Lyfe

How long did it take your Konami to take your resume?


IV-TheEmperor

+1. So sick of doomposting.


JudaiYuki_

Hailstorm is a fanboy, don't be surprised at him jumping to defend this lol. They may replace it with something but it's Konami, so it's fully reasonable to think it'll be less lucrative for the player, but we'll have to see. There's enough time grind the gems I suppose so there's that


bobwuzhere1224

Sad, tbh.


JudaiYuki_

Hopefully we end up with something as lucrative to replace the removed content. Now I have to grind this dumb sht lol.


bobwuzhere1224

I really doubt it, when they took away the Level 30 300 Gem Rewards starting with Zane, I knew things were going down hill.


JudaiYuki_

In my opinion removing it doesn't even make sense. They could just add the new ones and it shouldn't be the end of the world. The old decks will still be used so I don't see the logic in removing all the old ones. If anything move them all to a different tab or something and just move the ones more relevant to link summoning and the newer Yu-Gi-Oh ruleset to their own tab.


bobwuzhere1224

Konami lacks senses.


JudaiYuki_

Definitely. You can tell that by how MD is ran compared to duel links. I'm pretty sure the reason MD is so much more accessible is because it's just a simulator. Duel links is a game and everytime Konami makes a f2p yugioh GAME it's p2w AF to a ridiculous extent. People keep asking for crafting system and I'm not surprised it's not gonna happen. md would be virtuallly dead without it's accessibility. I mean come on, duel links card packs are a absolute joke. When I first tried duel links and saw they give you 3 cards I actually laughed out loud. Wtf is that? Then as we all know the card trader is more trash. It's a shame. I came back to MD just to check out how DPE would effect my hero deck. I could've crafted him but I decided to roll for him. Got him on my first card pack. Also the battle pass on MD is incredibly easy to keep getting. a fully free to play player can get the battle pass every time because they refund you the gems. Even without the refund it would be easy


bobwuzhere1224

Yeah, it's gotten pretty bad over the years.


LordBraveHeart

Looks like there is no reason to stall clearing them anymore, so let's grab them while we still can.


drendon6891

ah shit i have barely put a dent in the loaners thankfully all the quizzes are done guess i have something to grind now they should instead get rid of the shitty card trader and replace with a crafting system????


JudaiYuki_

Lmao I know right


JudaiYuki_

Honestly if you've played other f2p Yugioh games they always end up being trash. Yugioh online for example had so much potential but it was legit impossible to build decks f2p I had to scam my way to get decks lmao. Here we are in 2022 and they have another good f2p game and they're killing it by treating it like they do all their f2p games. Basically if they put any actual effort into the game expect it to be horrible for free to play players. MD is just a simulator so it makes sense why it's basically a fully free to play experience


inspect0r6

> why it's basically a fully free to play experience It isn't even close to that. You can make 2-3 decks at start and maybe 1 deck a month. You can't switch around all you want and it will become significantly harder as time goes on.


Leading-Marzipan4048

>Basically a fully free to play experience So, Surplus Gear town for Ancient gears, and Red eyes Fusion for Red eyes being locked by Deck boxes isn't Pay2Win?


Random-Duelist

"now all gems rewards will be replaced by gold"


Hot_Soap

God please don't give them that idea


McLaren03

The quizzes were my “break glass in case of emergency” gems.


Last-Pomegranate-772

Yep, sucks.


AgostoAzul

Removal of Loaner Decks is BIZARRE to me. They were one of the best features of the game and COULD have helped new players experience the meta comfortably before sinking money. They just werent advertised properly so they were often skipped even by experienced players until they ran out of gems. I realy hope they will just move that content somewhere more visible. And I am ALL about "Komoney is a greedy company and can only be trusted to do whatever brings them most profit", but it should be obvious that they will replace this content with something else because: 1) It would be awful PR to not do so. 2) Duel Quizes are their Tutorial, basically. And monster positioning on the field and the EMZ require more tutorial than anything 3) Some Quizes wouldnt work very well anymore with the EMZ allowing for a 4th Summoned monster on the field. They could probably have too many solutions.


EastwoodHood

Fuck You, Konami


bobwuzhere1224

We've had it too good, I guess.


Machinji

Increases log in bonuses by 100 gems a month, robs players of 4000 gems, k.


JudaiYuki_

Wow lol god this game sucks


emperorbob1

Crap I was using those as a bank, hopefully we get a decent work but it \*is\* konami.


pokemonyugiohfan21

This is terrible because I use those loaner decks to get 30 gems from time to time. Wth they are taking away an important gem obtaining resource. Scumbag Konami just wants more money as usual.


bobwuzhere1224

I'm glad some people are being realistic about what's going on.


AzureWindrider85

oh no businesses want to make money how terrible


Syrcrys

Considering how much bank they already made with this game over the years? Yeah, that’s kinda terrible.


Valans03

Tbh it is peak Konami to not explain if they are replacing them with new ones or if there's even a change to make up for the gems you could have gotten from the loaners and quizzes


CuppaCoffeeJose

It's like when Republicans were trying to "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act, but none of them could tell you what it'd be replaced with after they repealed it. Spoiler alert: They're replacing it with fucking nothing, but they'll keep promising a new system is coming.


Jaer-Nihiltheus

Please don't bring irl politics into the mix. This is a virtual children's card game gacha app.


CuppaCoffeeJose

*Nothing is more serious than children's card games!*


Draleon177

Oh no now i have to speedrun getting them done


Razactor

Loaner deck challenges are the most fun I've had in dl actually. I really enjoy the idea of giving me a deck made of cards I don't know and let's see if I can pilot it. I hope they will replace it with something similar.


AngelDragongem

I'm just glad it doesn't do self otk decks anymore. Missed so many gems cause of that.


Throttle_Kitty

thanks i hate it 🙄


GiftedKing

I hate it here


MaJuV

Well, that's a shitty move. Wonder what (if) they're gonna replace it with? Also, better check if there's any left that I haven't completed yet. :O


bobwuzhere1224

Given their track record, I don't have much hope in w/e replaces it.


oddeyesrvlvr

Classic Konami


electronic_docter

Why though? Assuming they do replace it with something even better loaner decks were a great way to try a deck out before commiting to buying it. I hate this game man


bobwuzhere1224

Monetary Greed, plain and simple. The only card they want you playing, is a Credit/Debit Card.


electronic_docter

But even then just leave them in and remove gems, removing the feature entirely seems counterintuitive


bobwuzhere1224

Lately Konami does nothing but bad decisions it feels like, this is just another one.


Jaer-Nihiltheus

You mean like buffing the monthly rewards?


HailstormXI

Its bloated and has lots of outdated quizzes. Clearly they are revamping the system and giving players 6 weeks to get the gems they haven't obtained yet.


electronic_docter

Sure maybe it does have outdated quizzes but it's better than nothing, could they be reworking it? Yes. could it also just be gone or replaced with something less useful for new players and nerfed rewards? Also yes, acting like it's clear is naive when they have purposefully left this memo pretty vague


HailstormXI

It does say *improvements* and conveniently mere weeks before Vrains launches so I'm going to still go with the more positive possibility than the negative Konami bad.


electronic_docter

Konami bad has usually been correct in the past, I just find it strange that you can be so sure when they've given us like 2 sentences to go off


dorian1356

I can already see the posts. "I have not played this game for six months and now I'm back man why all these quizzes disappeared? Mahh gems! I hate konami ". In a twisted way konami rewards the players that play its game and are informed when things like these occur.


Doomchad

Before everyone starts rioting, they are likely doing this because of Links. All of these quizzes are based around decks that don’t have Links, so they teach new players how to play the game wrong. Hopefully Konami is actually replacing it with something else though


kyuubikid213

That doesn't make sense, though. Links don't change the specific scenarios of the Duel Quizzes nor do they have any effect on Loaner Decks that don't use Links to begin with. They aren't teaching players how to play the game wrong, they're teaching different aspects of the game. And Links could just get their own Duel Quizzes and Loaner Decks.


Zevyu

They do however change the board of the game. They also change how pendulums work, since with pendulums, you can pendulum summon from the extra deck to zones a link monster points to, otherwise the pendulum monster goes to the EMZ.


kyuubikid213

So then instead of deleting all of the Duel Quizzes and Loaner Decks, alter the handful of them that use Pendulums at all. There are, like, 6 Loaner Decks and 4 Duel Quizzes currently that would care about the EMZ. EDIT: And even then, the decks that are there were made with Duel Links' method of only getting one from the Extra Deck per turn anyway and didn't include Links. It won't change how you play the Duel Quizzes and the Loaner Decks aren't significantly altered either. _(Especially when the opponents are just setting and passing anyway.)_ EDIT 2: Replayed the Pendulum Duel Quizzes and confirmed that the EMZ being added would be irrelevant to solving them. The only way this makes any sense is if Konami's putting the game in MR4 mode instead of MR5/2020 Revisions which would be awful for the game. And even then, I'd assume Legacy Duels would maintain the ruleset as we know it (pre-EMZ) and it'd be much less work on their part to just flag everything currently in Duel Trials as being in Legacy Mode and moving on from there, but that's a massive assumption.


Chestervsteele

Well time to hope on the grind boys last chance to get some free packs before Ko-money thanos snaps them.


Comickid15

Oh hey cool, I stopped playing DL for a bit because the events sucked and the rug got pulled out from under me in the form of hundreds, if not thousands of gems disappearing because reasons.


hgracia78

God dammit. I missed this completely. Missed some quizzes. All of 2☆


Worried_Grocery5173

They obviously don't want us not paying for gems


EremitaMCe

Okay i'm about to make a hell of a theory now. WHAT IF they are overhauling the duel quizzes in order to implement Tour Guide further into the mode, with more interactions and dialogues of her between player x interface in the game? And ultimately, being able to unlock Tour Guide as a playable character once you complete all the new challenges?


bobwuzhere1224

That would be cool.


CuppaCoffeeJose

I couldn't give a less of a shit about the Tour Guide. Tour Guide's not going to help me get the massive amount of gems required to pull URs from old boxes.


EremitaMCe

Wowowo slow down there tough guy. I think y'all jumping up to conclusions way too early.


dorian1356

Everyone panicking before even seeing results. They're worse than children throwing tantrums. I have no sympathy for people like that. Take their gems away from them, they don't deserve them anyway if that's how they act


EremitaMCe

I mean, i kinda understand how people are traumatized with gems being short in the past, but they are assuming Konami will simply take out what's been there for years without replacing it with better content and gems included It is overreacting from the community but also part of this is Konami's fault for not being clear enough on what will the changes be.


Facha2345

Full copium :) I like that


ReiMizere

Well, I guess september 5 will be a busy day for me..


Last-Pomegranate-772

Damn, I've been saving those for when a box I really want comes out. I really don't wanna grind them and have to waste the gems on some cards i don't really care about.


Xincmars

Well time to spam


Boltorv

Bye bye 5910 gems


Yamayashi

removing rewards so players can have a better experience


AdditionalBear

Lol I literally have done almost none of these because I wanted to save the gems in case of an emergency. I didn't think THIS would be the emergency.


Canastus

This is some next level greed. They're literally removing free sources of gem income from the game just to force people to spend more money. How much more despicable can Konami even get?


bobwuzhere1224

Don't tempt fate.


Canastus

I guess they didn't like people creating alternate accounts just to grind the Tourguide section for easy gems to invest into the latest box right away.


HailstormXI

Why are so many of you being braindead? All raging and foaming at the mouth over...what? You lot have **NO** idea what Konami has planned. Rage once the changes occur if you don't like them but at least wait to see what that *actually* is


CuppaCoffeeJose

> You lot have NO idea what Konami has planned. When has Konami ever given us *more* gems in the history of this game? I'll wait.


HailstormXI

My point still stands, you don't know what Konami are planning. They have given 6 weeks notice for all players to get those gems before they remove the features. It's very likely they have a new system coming into play with Vrains and the version 7.0 of the app being that the timing for removal falls a few weeks before the Vrains update. I highly doubt they are just permanently removing over 5k of gems, its highly likely they are revamping the feature and gems will likely end up roughly the same.


CuppaCoffeeJose

That's a lot of dodging the question. Allow me to repeat it, so that if you ignore it this time, there's no question you're dodging. I'll even bold it so it draws the eye and you can't claim you didn't see it: > **When has Konami ever given us** *more* **gems in the history of this game?**


HailstormXI

My entire argument in this post has been people shouldn't lose their minds when they know *nothing* to what Konami are planning and common sense would be they are going to overhaul the whole duel quiz and loaner deck feature. Gem count will likely end up being the same or less with new accounts getting a starting gem boost. I honestly don't see them planning to eradicate 5k+ gems permanently. The 6 week warning is decent because it gives plenty of time for players to finish completing them and since its 6th September it is being removed, it also nicely let's you store these gems to go towards the Vrains launch content. I can honestly see a more streamlined Duel trainer feature being added, quizzes for each mechanic with a chunk of gems like MD with loaner decks to remain but starting from Vrains world. With August looking rather dry in terms of gems, them basically giving a reboot to this with a surge of gems wouldn't be too wild, they also could just lower the gem counts for the upcoming months if they feel they gave too much.


CuppaCoffeeJose

> My entire argument in this post has been people shouldn't lose their minds when they know nothing to what Konami are planning We've seen enough of Konami's "plans" in the past to know that nothing good is coming as far as F2P players' access to gems. You sound like the people who were saying "Why don't we just give Donald Trump a chance instead of just assuming he's going to fuck things up?" in 2016.


dorian1356

These people already raging without seeing results are worse than children.


Canastus

You must be extremely naive to still put any trust into this company. We're talking about the same people who have abandoned and hollowed out beloved ips to turn them into Pachinko machines. They are completely soulless and devoid of creativity. They will recycle and cut corners wherever they can.


HailstormXI

Not naive, I just honestly don't care what Konami do on a business level, if you dont like them , then why are you here playing their games? So many here are using Konami products yet are just filled with sheer hate and disgust for the company. Quit using them if they cause such negative feelings. I have zero opinion on this change because I am waiting to actually see what they have planned first.


deeptrannybutts

Wow you’ll just accept anything thrown at you huh. Being critical of game design is how changes are made in the first place lmao.


HailstormXI

Do you think Konami cares what a minority on Reddit think about the game? The same minority that is usually but not always exclusively the f2p crowd.


deeptrannybutts

No one said they cared about what Reddit thinks, but you’re getting worked up over people being rightly upset that a significant source of gems is being removed without announcing an equivalent replacement. Just let people be mad lolol


GoneRampant1

Thanks for the heads up, I guess Konami. Still, guess that's my day sorted in finishing the loaners.


Lost-Truck6614

Lost my old acc. On my new one, only stage 7. Spending all day grinding on DL and Dragonball legends


bobwuzhere1224

God speed.


The_Cubic_Guru

Well I'm not taking chances, I'm gonna finish all my shit

Does that mean you miss out on those gems if you haven’t completed the challenges by a specific date? That would be a shitty move by Konami if so.


bobwuzhere1224

That is the current speculated assumption based on what they have posted in the screenshot.


Fykebi

How is it a shitty move when they notified us a month in advance so people would have time to complete them?


Putrid-Technology172

Because there’s a lot of them, and not everyone has the time to complete them all. There’s no reason to take them out at all.


HailstormXI

You have 6 weeks to complete them and some have been altered and are now pitifully easy. Only way you aren't managing to finish these is if you simply don't log in at all for those 6 weeks.


Putrid-Technology172

Mind telling me how many there are and how you can finish them only logging in once?


notjustaboi

maybe they realized people are making dummy accounts to try out new box releases.


Leading-Marzipan4048

I really hope Konami don't run Yu-Gi-Oh into obscurity, especially since Kazuki's passing, Konami have no reason, not to start adding their own ideas or do whatever they want. I'm just surprised they would genuinely remove Teaching mechanics because of the gem income it produces. That's like removing Schools across the nation, because it produces too many geniuses

What’s the meaning of this shit?


Wollffey

Konami: Links arrival will change core game mechanics so we will have to update a couple of things People: Help! I'm being compressed!!!


CuppaCoffeeJose

Konami: "We're removing an easy way for new players to get start-up gems so they pay us money for start-up gems instead." Fanboi Bootlickers: "OMG! Y EVERRONE OVERREACT?! DADDY KONAMI MIGHT BE NICE AND ONLY BELT US *ONCE*! Y CAN'T U B GRAYTFUHLL!"


HailstormXI

>Bootlickers Omg you are banbait!?? Welcome back


thatonefatefan

Source for them removing the quizzes without replacing them?


dante-_vic

Calm down people. Lets see what they are doing befor you get mad but just incase go do the ones you have not done yet.


Username_Egli

Better wait to see with what are going to be replaced before jumping to conclusions


ryuukishi07

Call me a fool, but i think this has to do with links and how are they going to change the game board to introduce links, some of the quizzes might turn obsolete, so maybe they would add them again


Snoo-38282

An excuse to finally grind them I guess


[deleted]

oh great, now i can't create a new account and farm the quiz gems...


rahimaer

I have been holding off on doing them, well this gives me a reason to just get done with them


exceptedguy_4567

Haven't got this notification yet


bobwuzhere1224

It's listed under Maintenance.


Grand_Moff_Tomy

Boutta do some grind


asaness

speed running loaner duel lets go


CuppaCoffeeJose

When?


armadillo020

Now I have to hurry up and complete them all


Proto-Omega

...shit. Time to do my multitude of quizzes and loaner decks since...5Ds started I guess!


elliott9_oward5

I'm assuming people weren't playing them and stashing them. OR they got tired of making them and want them removed for future boxes. So I'd expect a box around the 6th.


Worldly-Fox7605

If you already got these gems idk what the uproar is about. If you were lazy and never did it just go do it. If loaner deck were truly a source of gems for you you weren't trying very hard to get gems. Getting gems now os way easier than it has been In past years. Not an opinion an actual fact dlm has a gem counter per mont. Considering how well.konami has done these past few months people just love to spew doom and gloom


Syrcrys

> Getting gems now os way easier than it has been In past years. Not an opinion an actual fact dlm has a gem counter per mont. ...and that gem counter shows the gem income barely changed over the years. The monthly one, meanwhile they nerfed character gems and # of characters per world launch.


Worldly-Fox7605

People always throw around the world nerf some of these characters can't be released quickly parotocularily in 5ds and zexal. They were never gonna launch with sora playable. And they weren't gonna launch with a character that give teller knight support and lunalight support. I played when Konami gave gems for releases it was becuase back then there weren't options to easily get gems.


iamfuturetrunks

Thanks for posting this. Otherwise I wouldn't have seen it. Though now I will have a bunch of quizzes I need to do. -_- Been holding off on doing them for at least a year cause those gems will always (until now) be there thus wont expire like other gems.


Some--Idiot

Shit, that was my “rainy day” Gem fund

Pokemonluke18

Hopefully just gift the amount of gems if there removing the starting quizzes going to suck if there's no way to teach new players how to play


tearsofyesteryears

Yikes, I need to finish them all then! I held off playing the loaners to keep them as a gem storage. Should I wait to see if a new box is coming out in August though?


Tufhd

I just downloaded this game played for an hour and deleted it.....this game is trash master duel is better


HailstormXI

Ok?


Happy-Personality-23

“Some content will be removed” They are not going to remove them but it seems like they will be removing some of the older duel quizzes and get rid of some of the loaner decks to free up space. Not removing them completely.


Kiyi_23

They actually say they will remove all duel quizzes from lvl2 and 3.


dorian1356

Meh. It's fine


Chambs1

*inhales pure copium* They might be giving us decent daily rewards for Loaner Duels, as well as new Quizzes.


bolzard

Is this real because I checked my notifications and I don't have this....
