Separate chat tab for Tag/Singles/Ranked Duels

We currently have a chat tab and a card info tab. We’ve had this for a couple of months now.

That’s not what I meant. I was saying having an card info tab and chat tab separate from each other. Where you can freely move them elsewhere and separate them

YGO Omega has a Manual Mode. You can already communicate with your opponent in the exact same way about any card effects the same way you could in DN or DB. This is nothing new. You can copy paste effects even by right clicking on the display pic. You have a card log even.

You’re able to right click and copy paste only with Rush Duel and Standard currently but what I’m talking is about having an button when you’re not using the Card artwork to copy paste which is the Text box.

In YGOPro, while you are chatting, you aren’t reading a card effect - you are chatting. Once a chat message is sent, you can never retrieve the chat history again. That’s how it works in YGOPro. That means there is no record of any conversations. Everything is lost. A chat tab allows one to go back and read chat history. This is especially important for a manual duel because a record of the chat is needed for a Judge to look and judge the game state. This hence, was a flaw in YGOPro that there was no chat tab. In official konami games like Yugioh Online - they had a separate chat tab.

In addition, at any point during the duel if you are chatting and want to read a card effect, one simply needs to tab on the card and hold it. You have many options to read a card. If you are in the middle of reading a card and don’t want the display pic to update on hover or when an opponent summons/activates a new card, simply use the card lock icon that’s on the field (this was added in the latest update). Furthermore, you can hold CTRL while reading and the display pic will never update.

You can also right-click on a card effect or simply read the card log to go back and click on a card name to see what card was revealed or used in a prior turn or move. This is the same even in Dueling Book where we use logs a lot for manual duels.

In Edopro their is an chat history. The thing is what I want is to be simultaneously communicate with my partner while also be able to type beforehand and read the card effect before he does something wrong. I think this could be furthermore aliviate the need to switch from different Tabs to another if we had both of them opened at the same time in different windows. See how Health bars are done? They are separate from the card Tab. An way to Seperate them but also an way to put them back in the Tab. It is much like chrome when you open an window and then you move that window to an different tab it combines them.

Tag Duels are not something new. We’ve had them in ygopro for the last 8 years. You should know how to synchronize with a tag partner even before a duel starts. The rules of tag didn’t change. The core is the same. If you chose to play with a random tag partner that you have no idea of what deck they are using - then that’s what you signed up for. That means you have to learn how to synchronize on the fly. This has nothing to do with the simulator. This can happen in ygopro or in real life.

I think you’re really misunderstanding what I’ve wanted to actually point out and failed to understand what what was my point was. This isn’t just for Tags as I’ve said above it is also for single duels and tag tournaments. If our partners play randoms decks you want to emphasize on the communication with your partner. In DevPro we used to have an Whisper system where we could communicate with each player within the game. I think if the person isn’t in the discord and is playing the game how else do you expect people to communicate with each other? Also will you look to find on how to type characters that you can’t type on discord. I think something that would redirect to that person discord DMS would be indeed an good way to communicate in private between teammates.

If you’re having to look at every card and read it and then switch back to the chat, then the issue is about not having knowledge on the cards themselves. If a beginner Yugioh player were to play ygopro right now, they would state exactly the same thing. They would say, “I don’t have enough time to read the cards because I’m unfamiliar with them.” Online automatic simulators do have a time for turn for a reason. That timer is dynamic and is based on actions. As long as there is an action, the time will not decrease. This is more than forgiving. In real life, there is a time per round of 40 mins which leads to slow play abuse and winning by EOMP (End of Match Procedures).

Again one can’t possibly learn someone’s decks in Tags. Furthermore, communicating about Strategy during a duel is crucial. Theirs a reason in every Team games communication is essential to win a game in a competitive environment.
