Creator Requirements
Normal Users cannot post in Eclipse Releases. This is the Only way to get a Dedicated Post for your Patch. If these Conditions are Met, Upon Review you can be Promoted to Trial Creator. All Posts in Eclipse Releases must Meet these Requirements. If a Patch does not Meet the Requirements it will be Removed.
If a Trial Creator goes too far out of Line when Releasing one of these Patches in Eclipse Releases, they will be Immediately Demoted while Creators Operate on a 3 strike system.
Guidelines
No Low Effort or Low Quality Patches
This is Outlined as:
- Characters With Currently Considered as Excessive Stats in Comparison to Other Modern Cards
- Characters Who's Usability in Play is Non-Functional or Bug Riddled
- Characters Who are Barely Rekitted or Mostly Stolen From Another Character or Existing Character
Ensure the Card is Balanced and Unique
This is Outlined as:
- Characters With More Mechanics Than Simple Stat Buffs
- Characters With Realistic Stats Compared to Other Cards of the Current Time
Balanced in Patching Means Balanced to the Same Type of Card.
A Free to Play Card is Only as Strong as Other Free to Play Cards, The Same is for Dokkan Festivals and Carnivals.
Not Every Card Must be Balanced to the Strongest in the Game. Consider the Context of the Card.
Do not Balance Custom Cards around Custom Events. Balance them to Vanilla. This Ensures that Custom Events are Challenged by Vanilla Level Cards, Not Attempting to One Up Vanilla for a Custom Event. We do not Want Unneeded Powercreep.
Grant the Patch Higher Quality Input
This is Outlined as:
- Unique Approaches to Existing Mechanics
- Custom LUA or Animations
- Card Artworks With Time Behind the Creation
- Custom Events with Unique Approaches and not Copy Pastes of Vanilla Events
Important Requirements
EZA Patches
EZA Patches Are No Longer Enough to Reach Creator Status. You Must Create a Fully Custom Card.
Database Knowledge
Knowledge and Ability to Modify the Database is More Valuable Than Patch Releases. Users Who Frequently Bug Fix Other Patches With Complex Problems Are Capable Enough for the Creator Role Beyond Patch Creation.
Recreations
Recreations Are the Exception of "Copied Content" It Takes Skill to Create a Recreation. However Recreation is Not an Excuse. It Requires Approval to do.
