    There's no way it can be better than DBO

    For having played it (thanks Zolty), it feels like a mobile MMO, DBO wasn't that great either but this one is even worse

     

    If some poeple like it, then it's fine we need games for every taste, but this one is cleearly not for me but at least the game looks good

     

    So visually it's a step-up from DBO but gameplay-wise it's worse? I'm well aware that you have played it so I'll take your word for it until more stuff is revealed.

    It was somewhere around 2011 when I first found out about Dragon Ball Online— or maybe, that wouldn't be too correct, since I had first heard about it on an old website that goes as far back as the Korean release does. I'd call it DBOCOM's predecessor since it didn't nearly update to the 2011 days of the game at all. But yes, basically I had already discovered it a long time ago (and it was populated by PizzaPieDbo's videos), there was no way for anybody to play it, though. For those who don't know, back in the days, you needed a KSSN to register an account on their servers.

     

    It was only later after the Taiwan server came up that I finally downloaded it one summer morning and immediately tossed myself into the action. At first, I had created a Spiritualist— I had heard something about there being Turtle Hermits and whatnot, so I immediately connected the dots and realized I could have used the Kamehameha and other iconic DBZ techniques. So. I made one and went as far as level 3 before I was like: man, I want to punch things not throw blasts at them...

     

    And so, that was how I created a Martial Artist instead.

     

    I can relate so much to this! It's not related to my name, though. I was already going by Tofu online before this. I found out about DBO through... probably YouTube. I found DBOCOM and did my research on how to play the game. I found out about the KSSN thing and even tried getting some online to register myself, but they were all used already.

     

    RIP.

     

    Then, DBO TW came out, but I didn't find out until around the time when the LV UP 33 item was being distributed. I made a Martial Artist and used the item. I then started building towards the energy attacks, because they were cooler and I've always liked the energy aspect of Dragon Ball more. As I played more and more, I found out about the Spiritualist and the Turtle Hermits. I noticed I had made a huge mistake (especially since, at the time, energy Fighters weren't really viable or that good and I had no reset book to fix my skills).

     

    I then started again with a Spiritualist although LV UP 33 was no longer being gifted around. I leveled up all the way to pretty much the same as my Fighter or maybe a few levels further but then I think my PC broke down or something and couldn't continue playing. By the time I tried returning, the game was already dead.

    Later on you can add little content in form od dogis etc. And throw in some Events here and there, especially Holiday Events and the game is good to go.

     

    I think at first, that's the best option. Keep the game as it was and add new content in that way. However, I don't think it should be like this forever. I believe new content should be added later on. More TMQs, more UDs, maybe new level caps (or just gear scaling so that you have to beat previous content and get that gear so that you can participate in newer stuff), and stuff like that.

     

    While it's a delicate topic, I trust the team can come up with good, new, fanmade content that we can enjoy. Another possibility, a bit too ambitious but can't completely discard it, is that this project actually gets enough success to have Bandai decide to save the game and invest in it yet again.

     

    I can dream, Harold!

  4. The hairstyle is a known bug. It'll likely be fixed by release.

     

    About being stuck in the Kame House island... I know the tutorial is currently disabled since it's still not ready, so if you do the tutorial you get stuck there and I'm not sure how you can skip it. I do know @Niadid get this problem too, but I'm not sure how he got out.

     

    :hype:

  5. Alright, as promised, here's my story. A few people here know the story already, but not everyone does. Besides, the ones that do probably don't remember. It's not a big deal, but I like telling my stories with a lot of details.

     

    Back when I was young, I always struggled to pick an online name. I'd use alternate versions of my real name or translate it to other languages and go with that. I eventually came up with the name Ryoku, but it was generally taken so I had to do other versions (I even remember naming myself Ukoyr in Adventure Quest back in the day) but I never really liked any of those versions.

     

    When I was 12 or so, I traveled to Vancouver with my family. My uncle (and godfather) has lived there with his wife since I was 2 years old so we spent a couple of weeks at his place. During that time, we went camping with a bunch of my uncle's friends. Back then, there was A LOT of stuff I didn't like to eat. One morning, one of my uncle's friend asked if I wanted bacon on my egg wrap, as he was about to put cheese and turkey on it. Everyone ate their egg wrap with cheese and turkey. 

     

    I told him to stop because I didn't like cheese, turkey or bacon. I barely even started liking eggs a few months before that trip so the idea of an egg wrap already disgusted me enough. Dude was like "are you for real? You don't like cheese or turkey?" I really didn't. I still don't like turkey! Turns out the egg wrap was really good. He did put cheese on it, even though he promised he didn't, and I didn't notice.

     

    Later that day, they were making sandwiches and my mom went "do you have liverwurst? My son likes liverwurst on his sandwich."

     

    I didn't.

     

    I only tolerated it and my mother insisted I had to eat something other than peanut butter and jelly on my sandwiches. However, the same guy that made the egg wraps started laughing. "You don't like cheese or turkey, but you like liverwurst? You eat weird stuff! I'm gonna call you Tofu!"

     

    I've never had tofu, hence, I don't like tofu. Don't call me Tofu. Fudge you (keeping it rated E).

     

    Not long before we left the camp weekend, everyone went to this river for a swim. I didn't want to go in because the water was way too cold. I'm used to tropical beaches, not Canadian rivers! They all kept telling me to join. They even started cheering my new nickname to get in. Eventually, I jumped in and the same guy that called me Tofu said: "You have now been promoted from Tofu to The Mighty Tofu!"

     

    Suddenly, the nickname Tofu didn't feel that bad. I figured out they weren't calling me Tofu to make fun of me. It was actually a way to show affection. They kept calling me Tofu the rest of the vacation, and my uncle's friend invited me and my sister to spend a day with him and his wife. We went betting on some horse races and then he treated us for dinner and he bought some tofu for us to try. I didn't like it, but he did say it was poorly cooked.

     

    Once I was back home, I went back to my normal life. No one called me Tofu. The whole thing was over until one day I had to come up with a new IGN for... I think it was Mu Online. I spent a while trying to come up with a name until I remembered the nickname. I named myself Tofu and I've always used that name since. When taken, I've used alternatives like The Tofu, Tofoo, The Mighty Tofu... I even went with "if it's taken, I'll just add an X!" Tofux and The Tofux were pretty common names I used at first.

     

    Anywho, that's the story. Lots of unnecessary details, but that's what makes a story fun!

  6. When I open the launcher, I get this message:

    image.png.612925f6b22187df49e48d9ee48b8dcd.png

     

    I know my drivers are up to date since there haven't been any updates since like 2013. I don't have a dblog.txt file to attach.

     

    I already talked with Dumke about it and seems like we just gotta wait for some sort of patch but I figured I'd post it here anyway. It's pretty weird since I was able to run DBONU just fine a few months ago before the merge.

     

    I'm running Intel HD Graphics 3000. The integrated Intel graphics.

    I really honestly hate my old name, as it's just a fusion between Latias, one of my personal favorite Pokemon and Kirby. I've sorta regretted having since back in DBOR, due to it's unoriginal basis. Since then though, I've slowly morphed it into my own thing, simply going by "Lati" and forging a more unique identity. But I can't say the old name isn't nostalgic after having it for a good 4 years or so.

     

    I can totally relate to that. I've used the name Tofu for so long that I can't just change to something else now. I've wanted to use the name Ryoku for a while because... Dunno. Came up with it many, many years ago before knowing it actually had a meaning in any language (means "strength" in Japanese) and I often name characters like that when Tofu isn't available. It's cooler and a bit more original than this but oh well.

     

    I still owe the story for my username but I'll wait till tomorrow since it's kinda late.

    I used this name for Garfield Online and Adventure quest back in 2003, fat fingered the K key and the rest is history.

    Garfield Online was (or still is) a thing? You meant to name yourself Dume or Luke[Dume]?

    Yo, Tom! Remember my Recommended Anime thread back in DBOR? I'm tempted to port it over and maybe merge it with this one or something. Problem is that I wouldn't have the patience nor the time to update it constantly like I used to back then.

  10. So I made this thread back in DBOR and feel like I should do it here too. As the title says, it's a thread where everyone shares the story behind their usernames. Why, when and how did you pick or create that name? Just like last time, I'll wait till I hear a few stories before posting my own. Once I do, I'll also edit the first post to add it here.

     

    And I know asking this won't stop people from doing it but don't go "I named myself Gohku because I like Goku and the name was taken." That's boring! Come up with some cool stuff!

    Looking at you, @Bardock.

    Really good picture, but it's just that. Also, scrolling bars in signatures trigger the OCD inside me.

     

    Mine is my old DBOR signature. Pretty outdated but I don't feel like making a new one right now.
