Dragonball Xenoverse - Discussion/Matchmaking Thread

Just did a few Parallel Quests with a friend, apparently drop rates for items/skills are higher when you play with other players.

I got a lot of skills I was trying for 2 days to get, and he got help with the few quests he couldn't solo xD
Win/win situation!

Looking for people to team up and play with! I have the Steam version.

Heard that you need to be online to play the singleplayer parts of the game? I know some people who can't even start the game and people who've had no issue with it.

I've read that you have to login to the server at least once before you can play in the Offline Mode. Which is kind of bull, but I haven't had any problems with Single Player or Multiplayer yet.

If you can't connect, it just puts you into singleplayer.

Oh god no this is so bad I don't even It is die.

The rpg system, the fighting style and the graphics (the graphics not being important at all, I just wanted to point that out. Lol).
The best DBZ games were Budokai 1&3 and Burst Limit. The style in those games are made better for competitive playing. They should have expanded on them in my opinion.

Oh God. You're one of those people? When will people realize the glory days of the Budokai games are LONG gone? If you have such a hard-on for the series, pick up the HD series and stop complaining. This game is insanely good, well, once you get past all of the horrible server issues. Playing with friends online is literally the best part of this game and it's a blast.

If anyone has the PS4 version, you can add my PSN: Kisstoefur

I mostly do PQs online with my brother.

Yay another PS4 on TBT PSN: GyaradosBlood

As for the game I never got into DBZ, (I probably will now after this game) but I've always had somewhat of an interest in Dragon Ball fighting games. Fun game so far, haven't really pick this game apart yet but I'm looking forward to it c:

Why can't they be one of those people? They have an opinion which differ to yours so you suddenly have the rights to shut them down? Let em moan about this game and ignore them!
----------------------------
While I personally prefer the Budokai series since the fighting was a-lot simpler and on a flat surface all the time, I'm glad to welcome Xenoverse into the DBZ series because it's bringing something new to the table and isn't just something half arsed like what they've done with some of the recent "yearly" releases.

Now here's the problem, "Tenkaichi series" & "Raging Blast / 2" are the DBZ games I couldn't stand at all, I really disliked the fighting system, Sure, it offered bigger landscapes and "long" battles but whenever I played online on it, all I ever got into were battles with players spamming projectiles, where's my fist to face combat? Sure projectiles aren't hard to avoid but it was really disappointing there were people playing like that.

Isn't Xenoverse Tenkaichi styled with the battle system? Hopefully it's more fixed so it's not just "I'LL STAND AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STAGE AND KEEP MISSING WITH MY BARRAGE OF KAMEHAMEHA'S"?

That's one thing that's stopping me from buying it mainly, other than the fact I wouldn't pay full price on it, I'd rather wait for it to go on Sale.

Yay another PS4 on TBT

I've had a PS4 since last year, but I don't have this game on it, just Steam xD

Love Xenoverse, the PS3 era of DBZ games were complete trash imo. Haven't enjoyed a DBZ game since the Budokai Tenkaichi series, and I can say that Xenoverse is the best DBZ game to date. Love the RPG aspect of the game as it makes each and every
custom character unique. However I can say that I don't like that we're limited to only 2 ultimates instead of 3, especially when the slot for an 3rd ultimate is listed during battle(for PS3/PS4 it would be the L2+R2+O slot), but oh well no biggie really.

I've seen people try to knock this game solely for it's 'lack luster' roster and said that BT3 is the best because of the large roster, but I'd liked to remind them that most of the BT3 roster were different variations of characters with 1 or 2 differences, C&P characters that had the same exact move sets as each other (Such as Great Apes & other Giants), and irrelevant characters like Kid Chi-Chi and Araela(w.e her name is). Which in my opinion made for very stale gameplay. In all honesty though, who really played as each and every character in BT3? I know I didn't, and I know if atleast half of the characters vanished from the roster that I wouldn't care about them missing. Yea, it would limit your options, but you probably wouldn't play as those characters anyway






Back to Xenoverse though, I'm actually stuck on the Bardock mission. I can't seem to keep him alive long enough to take out 15 of Freiza's Henchmen & a majority of Frieza's health. I've been using Giant Storm as my ultimate as it does damage to groups (as these henchmen like to gang up on you) but it only does a low amount of damage. I'm like a level 68 or so.

They've made it extremely difficult to spam in this game in my opinion, pretty much the only way to spam is to use the Super Saiyan or Super Saiyan 2 transformation (which bypass the Ki limitations) but even then, it's easy to avoid or block spammed moves. Not only that, a good bit of the moves take time to charge, so you'd beable move in for a attack before their attack would be charged. It's more Face to Face oriented now, with the occasional use of powers.













Those with the PS4 version, feel free to add me. StevenIsPLUR is my name on PSN

THANK GOD.

Seriously I couldn't put up with projectile spam, it wasn't super hard or anything but geez, killed the game off quite a tad.
Glad to hear it's more tame now, I'll definitely pick it up on Steam if it has a sale anytime soon!

This is the build I used to clear it, took 2 tries:

All Clear
Galick Gun
Maximum Charge
Fighting Pose F

Giant Storm
Final Flash
Super Explosive Wave

Z-Soul: I'm neither Kami nor Piccolo now...

Finally!

Attention Dragon Ball XENOVERSE players!
Toki Toki City has been overflowing with your custom characters during our first week of release and we’re very excited to share the Dragon Ball world with all of you! Some players have reported difficulties connecting to the Dragon Ball XENOVERSE servers to enjoy the online features of the game.
We worked tirelessly to address the server issues so that everyone can have a smooth experience both on and offline and we are on the way to fix it!
So a server update will be pushed today (March 4th 2015) to apply the changes:
- Japan - 20:30 PM to 00:30 AM JST
- Europe - 12:30 to 16:30 CET
- North America - 3:30 AM to 7:30 AM PST

We will continue to provide updates on the official Steam forums and the official Dragon Ball Games Facebook page to keep you updated.

If you are having issues connecting to the servers and wish to play completely offline, that is an option. Disabling your internet connection before starting the game will boot the game into Offline Mode. We understand that this is not an acceptable fix and will continue to provide updates on the Dragon Ball XENOVERSE server stability.

Thank you for your patience!
