Play-Testing & Goals for Shadow Era.

[Master_Savage]

I remember you, whoisSAVAGE. You disappeared for quite a while. Glad you returned. Not read your post yet, but the reception from others shows me it's worth my time!

Thanks, Yeah I stopped playing for ah while, got really busy with life things, Just moved into my own place a few weeks ago, Work, Yugioh etc... But I'm back now & plan to be here for ah while so thanks for the welcome back. ☺

Good article but unfortunately not many players have time for this kind of playtesting

*goes to read Preybird's article that he hasn't read yet*.

I Completely understand & I think I actually covered that in the Article, I can Def make ah Time Management Article & further cover play-testing in it. With yugioh it's ah little different because the Prizes in competition (Plus Sponsorships and what-not) can actually be worth the time you put into the game. I like Shadow Era so I'm Mos Def Rooting for the game to keep growing & maybe offer more high level tournaments with better prizes.

I think you suggested making a plan on your sets and reps, against which decks and do them not in one go but in parts if I got it right. Will look again.

edit: Yeah, found it

The problem is that testing takes time: if you have three hours to test a deck, at 15 minutes a game, you'll probably get through 10-16 games total. I don't know how much time you have, but I get paid to do this stuff and I don't have 3 hours every day for playtesting. Even if I did, finding someone to do that testing with would be tough. That's why it makes sense to break your testing sessions into sets played against different decks.

Exactly! Get a Pen & Pad, & plan your testing out, even if you can only play 5-10 games ah Day. The Experience you will gain is worth it.

Well I was reading this today, so I'm bumping this because its still relevant, even more so now because of the expansion and all the new decks being created.

Good article, it can be applied anytime (if you can find a partner)

What is netdecking?

[Mew Two]

Netdecking is taking a deck directly from someone else (generally off of the forums), card for card

Wow, nice article man (like I'm the first one to say it...) was a nice read. I think that this was very interesting but an not sure if many people will ever put this into action just because it takes so much time and, like you said, you can't earn money off it. Still, an article that everyone should read.

Thank you for sharing such invaluable knowledge!

Question: is there a systematic way to take notes? Or should I just write down whatever comes mind?
