PvP in trainer = no need to play the real game
and more important:
I'm interested to know how exactly you would be able to do this. Current PvP Duel is done by searching 2 player's names...so what name would the Trainer receive when it's just a simulator?
Did you read the part about it being PvP Duel and not PvP 1 or 2? That's rather important dontchaknow.
Yes, that's why it requires you to specifically type in the name of a player to connect to a game rather than just sit and wait for it to connect, hence my original question.
The same way it works right now, just like we ask pplz IGN's in chat just say: "hombre! Como va a llamarte?" "What name are you gonna use?" In-game duel doesn't search, so why should trainer duel?
You ever notice how you get about thirty messages below the "Back to Menu" button as the game searches for the person's IGN you just typed in to establish a connection with? Do you think it just magically connects without needing to search for the opponent?
And that still doesn't answer my question: How would you remedy the solution of requiring a name to connect to in order to begin a game when the trainer has no name to give out?
I don't think we're on the same page, I could have worded my previous post better, however. I think what I meant to say is that the PvP duel doesn't randomly search for an opponent, so neither should the trainer. As for the problem with names, think of Top 50. When a player enters their high-score the highscores list is updated with the name, highscore, and deck. The way the search will work is that a temporary domain (or account if you prefer) is given a nickname (user input) and the deck that the nickname is assigned to is stored to that nickname. At which point the deck is stored to that nickname at the same time. (i might have lost you here but try and keep up) Then PvP goes as normal.
Yes we were clearly not on the same page but there is nothing about what you have said that I have not understood. I have said nothing about
randomly searching for an opponent because it would not function the same as PvP Duel (which is set against 1 specific opponent, again NOT random) - Which I have said from the very beginning and yet you have still not understood me. You have also made no inclination to add that second part of your explanation to the OP so there was absolutely no way for me to assume that that was what you had intended to do all along. However you do answer my question which I appreciate but you could have taken several different better approaches to enlighten me as to your intentions to avoid this "confusion" (which I still do not understand why it exists in the first place). If there is
still any reason you do not understand me and what I was concerned with from the beginning, then allow me to explain in the simplest way that I possibly can.
How PvP
Duel currently works:
Typing in the name:
Searching for the opponent:
Facing the opponent:
What I was stuck on
before you took the time to explain
exactly what you had in mind:
Beginning the game:
Question: How would you connect to someone in the trainer then? D:
The above is what I was asking about from the beginning. Thank you for explaining what you had in mind, however I have no desire to continue a discussion on this topic any longer (thus making this my last response on this thread). Good luck to you.
Also: If you have any desire to avoid a flame war in the future I highly advise that you refrain yourself from making statements like the one in the red. People's confusion in situations like this tends to make it more likely for anger to ensue.
