"Dragon Ball Online" Discussion Thread

[Super Saiyajin Luffy]

Man! I cannot wait to try this game! It better come out in the US!! Thanks to all the contributors here for sharing all the juicy screenshots and official artworks. Keep 'em coming!! I do, however, have a couple of questions, if those of you who have played DBO would oblige me:

1.) There sure is a lot of variety in the Namekian race; I see all these pictures of purple-skinned ones, ones with fins on their head, ones with horns instead of antennae, and the more common "new era" pale-faced Nameks. But, what I'm curious about is whether or not it is possible to create a Namek character that looks like a "classic" Namek. Can you do that?

2.) All the pictures of the Majin race seem to be exclusively of "Fat Buu" male characters and "Kid Buu" female characters. Is it possible to make a Majin that looks more like "Super Buu" and/or to make "Fat Buu" females and "Kid Buu" males?

3.) I've seen the pictures and videos that show that the Fighter Class Humans can wish on the Dragon Balls to become Super Saiya-jin. Can the Spiritualist and Engineer classes do this too, or is it exclusive to the Fighter Class? Are there other things to wish for besides becoming a Super Saiya-jin? Also, if a Namekian or a Majin collected the Dragon Balls, what could they wish for?

3b.) On the subject of Dragon Balls, how rare are they? Is there just one set in the whole world? How do you find them (Dragon Radar, quest reward, dumb luck, etc...)? If there is just one set, how do you deal with getting them all if multiple people have the different balls?

4.) Why is Karin blue in all the screenshots I've seen? Is it really him or could it be some similar-looking descendant? Also, if Karin still exists, does that mean there are Senzu?

My apologies for all the questions, but the concept of this game has just really made me so darn curious! Thanks in advance for any information you all can provide!

1. It's not possible. Probably it was to prevent from all Namek/Namekians too similar and giving them more personality. In-universe, I guess it would be called genetic evolution or something.
2. Nope.
3. Every (playable) human can become SSJ. The mechanic class isn't released yet. Other wishes are gears, money or transformation for their own races.
3b. There are multiple sets in the game, also explained in-universe. You can find them through quests, monster drops and probably tournament awards.
4. The cat is blue in the manga, cause the game uses manga references. Senzus are still existing, although I think, that they are rare or rather expensive for low-levels.

This is coming from me, an ex-MMORPG (MapleStory) player.

No. Males are always fat, and females are always short & skinny. They change only when they transform into "Pure Majins", and they look almost exactly like Pure Boo (he keeps the colour of your Majin only), both males & females.

3.) I've seen the pictures and videos that show that the Fighter Class Humans can wish on the Dragon Balls to become Super Saiya-jin. Can the Spiritualist and Engineer classes do this too, or is it exclusive to the Fighter Class? Are there other things to wish for besides becoming a Super Saiya-jin?

All Human characters can become Super Saiyans. Other things you can wish are the Dragon Buffs, armor, weapons, and other stuff like that.

3b.) On the subject of Dragon Balls, how rare are they? Is there just one set in the whole world? How do you find them (Dragon Radar, quest reward, dumb luck, etc...)? If there is just one set, how do you deal with getting them all if multiple people have the different balls?

You can hunt them on specific days, for 2 or 3 hours. You need a special chip for the scouter to search them. The Dragon Ball hunting is mostly based on luck. You search the map, and if you are lucky, a mob will have a DB mark on the map. You kill it, and again if you are lucky, it will drop a DB. You have more chances if the mob is at least 5 levels above you, or if it's ranked as Super, Ultra, and other ranks like this.

4.) Why is Karin blue in all the screenshots I've seen? Is it really him or could it be some similar-looking descendant? Also, if Karin still exists, does that mean there are Senzu?

Karin is Blue on the manga. The developers of DBO have the rights to use only stuff from the manga, which is why it follows the manga only, and uses it's colours.

Thank you so much, Super Saiyajin Luffy and DBZGTKOSDH!!

I am a bit disheartened to hear that you can't make a classic Namek, but I suppose there's no point in wallowing in sadness over it. I'll still make a Namekian character regardless.

It's also kind of strange that all male Majin have to be fat. I guess it has to do with all Majin being decended from Buu and Buubii, but still. Again, no sense in fussing about it.

Interesting to know that all human characters can wish to become Super Saiya-jin. That's pretty cool. I am very curious what the transformations for the other races are that Super Saiyajin Luffy mentioned. Would the "Pure Buu" form that DBZGTKOSDH mentioned is the Majin transformation? What is the transformation for Namekians?

I find it surprising that there are multiple sets of Dragon Balls. I suppose that would be the only way to make it fair for all the players, but is there any danger of them becoming too easy to collect?

Shockingly, I never realized that Karin was blue in the manga. Regardless, that certainly answers that questions. Also, it's pretty cool to hear that the Senzu still exist.

In closing, thanks again for all the answers, you two! My apologies that they have created even more questions from me, but I hope you won't mind sharing your wisdome again. You are both very kind!

Majins have the Pure Buu transformation(Kid Boo). Namekians have the giant transformation like Piccolo did during the 23rd TB.
Part of the games back story is that Yajirobe began farming senzu and the many sets of Dragon Balls that exist are limited in power. I suggest reading Herms' DBO timeline thread.

Ooh! Namekians get giant form? Sweet! Thanks so much for the information, Makaioshin! Much appreciated!

[Jackal puFF]

Wasn't there more drawings like these?




I know there are some other cool outfits like Toninjinka's gang.

I do remember seeing more of these pictures! Anyone have some?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I thought this would be funny to some of you... (don't mind the missing hands on some of them, they don't show up using mods when someone is wearing gloves)

[TRL]

This really has become a online dress up part. I don't understand the obsession to look like existing characters.
I'm actually more interested in these new unique armors that sometimes look very good. Also for instance those 2 new namek head caps.

The oozaru cap's ears are wrong and the head of an oozaru wouldn't be that small.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

You modded the game, right?

[Makaioshin]

Wow, cool. I would like one of those turbans to go with my King Piccolo dogi but I don't that they have been released yet.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

There are some modding-tricks here, if anyone is interested.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I didn't mod anything, someone else did. These outfits were added to the game with the last update patch in preparation for the future (just like the Cell textures), but they haven't actually been released as far as I know. Modding the game is the only way to see what they look like now instead of waiting.

For some people, the different outfits are just more fun to wear than a lot of the normal clothing options. All I've wanted in the game was to pretend like my character was trained by the Turtle School, which would mean an orange dogi similar to Goku or Kuririn. But, as far as I'm aware you can't obtain clothing parts similar to their outfits, even without the symbols, unless you actually get their full outfit. In other cases, like the Freeza costumes, it's the closest you can get to being able to play as a member of his race.

BTW, you do realize nobody killed an Oozaru and made it's head into a hat, right? Its the same as the Mickey Mouse hats from Disney World... lol And it's ears are right, its just a weird angle.

[Saimaroimaru]

I like that Snail hat. Others, eh.

[Saiga]

So is Freeza going to be added to the game in the near future then?

[DBZGTKOSDH]

So is Freeza going to be added to the game in the near future then?

He is already added a lot time ago. The next TMQ will most likely feature Goku Vs Freeza.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

So, has anyone here managed to collect the Dragon Balls? Not the 1st tier you get in early quests, the 2nd tier, the the ones you have search to get, transformations, Dragon Buffs, etc. Or even the 3rd tier from the Scramble.

[MCDaveG]

I pick them on radar always, but never got single one. Except for one occasion, when I got the black ball outside of the tournament, that turns into dragon ball when the hunt beggins????
I throw it away, as I didn't know what that was, but still, I think it was bullshit that I read somewhere on DBO forum. I don't believe this game to be that complex to implement the ''Dragon Balls are turning to stone for one year'' into the game.

As I dunno about anyone on that community or english speaking community speaking/reading Chinese, you can make up false information about almost anything in the game.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

I got 3 in a single day, and then I run out of luck. It's been 2-3 months since then, though I didn't do a serious DB hunting until today. Found zero...

[dbboxkaifan]

Has Majin Ozotto appeared in Dragon Ball Online or Dragon Ball Heroes?

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Has Majin Ozotto appeared in Dragon Ball Online or Dragon Ball Heroes?

No. Only in DBZ: V.R.V.S., and I doubt we will see him again.
