The newest event has been in full swing on Duel Links. The event in question is a 'Duel Carnival' in honor of Espa Roba. I have played through 2 rounds of it and have just started on the third. What do I think? Is this a good idea or not? Let's have a look at the pros and cons of this event to find out.
Pro: You can unlock Espa Roba.
Finally, Espa is unlockable and he brings his Jinzo with him. I look forward to creating a Psychic deck for this character. This is a good start for the Duel Carnival.
Con: Duels sometimes end with duelists drawing more cards then getting a 'disconnect' message.
I won't rag on this too much since the day after I noticed this, Duel Links had fixed it. I haven't seen this glitch since and I am glad they fixed it so quickly. Well done, Duel Links, but it was still annoying.
Pro: The points are easy to acquire.
I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I amassed the points to not only unlock Espa but also to acquire the newest cards. Usually, it takes much longer to get the right of amount of points. I hope all future events are like this.
Con: The card reward selection is not the best.
Okay, I admit that most of the cumulative reward cards were pretty good: either new or extra copies of good cards. However, I do not understand the addition of Pulse Mines. I already had a play set of these since they were rewards in the previous Espa Roba event. The Treasure Box reward cards are the same as the cumulative reward cards plus a few others. I do not understand why Cyber Esper was part of this set. I guess the point is being able to 'see' what your opponent draws is like Espa Roba's trick of knowing what cards his opponent used but I feel like that card would have been more suitable in the Zane event. Anyway, it could definitely be worse - the cards could all be weak normal types that most people don't even use - oh wait... that's what four of the cards in the Silver reward box list are! I understand that 2 of them are fusion materials for the also available Metal Dragon, but the others make no sense. The worse part is I have at least 10 copies of each (some of which I have 20 copies) since the better rewards are of the higher rarity. Next time, Duel Links, at least choose cards we want to use for the Normal Rank rewards.
Pro: This counts toward your Ranked Duels cumulative rewards.
I do like this idea very much. I was able to earn several tickets for cards during this event. I hope this is carried over for future events.
Con: Espa Roba shows up in duel world - after 1 pm on Jun 30, 2018.
This event is all about PVP dueling. It makes very little sense to suddenly also throw Espa Roba into the duel world. It's not too bad it does seem extraneous.
Well, how does it stand up? Overall, not bad. Again, my only real issue was actually resolved within a day so Duel Links did a great job. Still, there is room for improvement. It does give me hope for future events though. I highly recommend that you participate in this event if you play Duel Links. Anyway, leave me a comment telling me what you thought of this event. Which teams did you pick for the 3 rounds (thus far)? I chose Spellcaster, Beast-Warrior, and Dinosaur.
I hope you enjoyed this post and will continue to enjoy future posts. Have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!!
