Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
So the villain groups are 4:
- Paella Gang
- Red Pants Army
- Demon Clan Namekians
- Time Breakers

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
I want to say no, I think Freeza's group is their own distinct organization. While playing the game, it seems to me that the Time Breakers can contain enemies from any of the other factions (though Freeza's group is most prevalent), but not all factions are actually part of the Time Breakers. Of course I can't confirm that without knowing one of the languages...DBZGTKOSDH wrote:So the villain groups are 4:

I think it was said that Miira took them over? And besides, the Time Breakers are wearing the same (good old) armors.TheDevilsCorpse wrote:I want to say no, I think Freeza's group is their own distinct organization.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
Yeah but from what I recall, the timeline says they also took over the Red Pants Army. I think I agree with TheDevilsCorpse, it's not that they merged, it's more like they sometimes work together with the Time Breakers.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
Though the timeline says he has a gang, Paella doesn't really seem to have his own sort of army. He lost control of his own palace(or Pilaf's) and asks the player for his/her help. Don't really see anything else related to Paella aside from maybe a few droids inside the palace that have gone out of control. Aside from the ones you mentioned and just random animals there are various Saibaicreatues. Not really sure who is supposed to be responsible for their creation.soulnova wrote:As far as I know there are like 5 groups of enemies.

Something about this evil organization growing its army in the main timeline, Red Pants Army, etc. I think in the current patch the story is the rise of this Demonic Namekian clan raising a tower similar to that of Karin's.
In the beginning of the game the Red Pants Army didn't seem to be involved with the Freeza Remnants/Time Breakers in anyway but as the game progresses we seem them fight together more and more. It seems probable to me that they tried to work together with Freeza's Remnants but after Cyborg Red and the clone of Gero are killed they just merged with the Time Breakers. If I had to guess the same thing will happen to the Evil Namekians since their leader Naraka dies.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
I know I can't be the only one that still plays. Monks, Saibaitrees, jungle women, Toriyama flies, pirates, zombies, zombie pirates, etc. The zombie pirates and Pirate King Bacterian wear Bobbidi's M on clothing and it shows up on a few objects. Some really nice designs this time. What do you guys think about the latest map?

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
Wouldn't really know, I haven't been there yet. I play a Fighter on Taiwan with a fairly terrible build and even worse armor. I'm not interested in PvP, so I don't have many friends to help me survive my normal questing, so I haven't even reached lv. 60 yet (almost lv.59), let alone lv. 70 on Papaya Island.
I do know Papaya Island is supposed to get the Akkuman baddies, and we're also getting the 4-legged Cell mobs too:

I'm still 41 LVL, since I wasn't playing too much lately. I'm going to start playing now again.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
God, I want to play badly, but I really need to wait for the English version or otherwise I'm going to "waste" so much time on that character for nothing. I got to lvl 27.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
No, not really. I'm sure there is some sort of minor story in the "present" for why the Bacterian lookalike is running a prison looking dungeon, but it's not really important compared to villains threatening to unravel time by altering the past. There is supposed to be a new TMQ, number 8, but it's not available yet. Should be sometime soon though, as the developers have been releasing some hints in terms of artwork...Chuquita wrote:Has there been any new plot in addition to the new map?

I'm looking forward to the next TMQ. Even though I don't play DBO, I've really been enjoying its plot.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
Sure thing, HECTOR4.
Human Towa!? This is most likely not her but still pretty cool.
Statue of Pirate King Bacterian-lookalike or him maybe possibly
Zombie with an Afro
Electric Afro Zombie
Spikey Haired Zombie
Small Zombie
Bongo vs. White Haired Zombie
Vs. Dreadlock Zombie
Giant Saibaitrees
Smaller Saibaitree
Abbot
Monk
Tenkaichi Budokai Grounds
Another angle of the TB
Another angle
Master Mutaito Statue
Back of the Statue
He looks important but probably isn't!
Mutaito Shrine or something! Too bad I'm in the way.
Gibberish or Moon Speak
Inside the Mutaito place
Further in
Some contraption with the M
Zombie Penguin
Jason Zombie Bearman
Various Pirates
Zombie Giraffe Pirate Man
Zombie Bull Pirate Man
Zombie Boar Pirate Man
Jungle Women
Some Type of Park
The Park
Cute
Octopi
The Blue Fly
The Red Fly
Mammoth
The Pilot
Another Monk
I used to feel the same way too soulnova. But it is fun seeing all the character models and stuff but not understanding the meat of the story. I wasn't around during the period where people relied on fansubs and fan summaries to get the story of Dragon Ball but I imagine they felt the same way.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
Seeing how this one will probably wrap up the Namek plot, I'm curious to see what they do to celebrate Goku's Super Saiyan transformation. Will Towa finally make an actual move towards her goal instead of playing around? Will Miira finally reappear on the battlefield? Will Bardock be there to witness the reality of his visions?Chuquita wrote:I'm looking forward to the next TMQ. Even though I don't play DBO, I've really been enjoying its plot.
I'm getting impatient.
Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
The New Tenkaichi Budokai Arena looks pretty damn good.
And where is that Mutaito Statue located? Somewhere relevant? And also a shrine? Finally the grand master gets some recognition.
The game as some amazing models man. And the way you said it TheDevilsCorpse now I'm curious too.
