Tokens In Playtesting
TappedOut forum
Posted on March 18, 2015, 1:28 p.m. by SpikedEggnog
I have a black deck that used Zombie tokens in testing and when I first started testing it the tokens were in a pull down menu on the bottom left (where they are supposed to be). BUT the other day I opened the playtester and the Token menu is gone - so now I cant add tokens to the battlefield anymore? Can I get some help with this issue, because I know people usually say it auto detects what cards produce tokens in your deck - and it DID do that but it suddenly doesn't work anymore (and I still have the token cards in my deck).

Oh sorry, I thought you tried to link the deck. It's here, so hope the link will help somebody!

That's because you most likely have removed the card that had tokens coded into it. Don't expect anything to be fixed with this. Yeago is the only one with the access to the databases and I'm unsure if he wants to spend the lengthy amounts of time required to get the tokens fixed.

what do you mean removed the card? In my previous comment I said that the token generator is nec Stockpile, and that I havent removed it so I dont know what you mean removed it when I never changed my deck.

It's not true that Necromancer's Stockpile can generate tokens. the card you had in your deck that could do this was Empty the Pits and you have removed that one. Obviously not all cards that can produce token have a token generator linked to them. This has been a common problem so long I has been on this site.

Even if a card says it can create tokens doesn't mean that it can generate the tokens in the playtester. This has nothing to do with the card and all to do with database management. Since no one else has access to the database, the finer points and details of quality don't really get checked.

The playtester does the same thing when I play Goblin Rabblemaster -- it never gives me the option of creating Goblin tokens.

Once again, because it is not coded into our database.
And we've been trying to get yeago to implement a sideboard for the playtester. It might be a while for that.

Any chance the playtester could be modified to have a "create token" option around at all times? Where the user could modify the name and text of the token themselves? It seems to me that would be easier to just do that once and get it out of the way instead of constantly updating a database.

We have also been asking yeago to do that, but it appears, like all other tokens, that it still has to be implemented into the cards through the database, which means a lot of hard work.

Its still considered a free service, even if you decide to donate to keep it running.

Yeah maybe it's "free" but Donations keep it afloat. So I guess if I didn't donate anything I can't complain - but since I did....

Upgrading only grants you a fancy username and some minor additional functions.

Glad I read this thread before creating a new one about how Master of Waves has tokens, but the pictures aren't working.

Pictures are another issue entirely, but still originate from the database >.>
