"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[Gyt Kaliba]

...Okay...anyone got any suggestions for how to get Bardock to freakin' stay alive long enough for me to even get to where Freeza comes out?

[Zelvin]

Yeah I've done the "Explosion of Namek" dozens of times over and spent hours grinding it to try and get the dragonballs. The Patrolman only shows in 1-of-5 fights, and didn't drop a single dragonball for me at all yesterday. Neither did any patrolman in PQ#2 nor even "Power X10" where you face Oozaru Vegeta. Even when all conditions are met and a patrolman does show up, still none of them will drop a single dragonball. I spent 5hrs last night just trying to get one Final Dragonball for my first set, and no luck whatsoever.

I think other people are just super-lucky to get so many in a single hours playthrough. That or they're hax! HAX!! *Sigh*

Anyway, since I'm on PS3 I can't take pics with the console. So I have to use my phone.

I doubt the "Frost Demon" thing is in the original Japanese version. It's probably just another nod to the fanbase, same as Taka's "Ghost Nappa" voice.

Anyway, I'm having significant trouble progressing through the story as a Freeza Clansmen. Really feeling the sting of not having the ability to Super Saiyan spam in certain dire situations, like me versus more than one character. The Mini-Buu thing is a particular pain in the arse that I can't seem to pass. Do I actually have to fight the Buus while waiting for Trunks to talk to them, or can I just run away like a coward? xD

Anyway, the Dragon Ball hunting stuff was being done to kill two birds with one stone: search for the orbs and level up my character. The ginyu method has been a real wonder though. Already at 6 orbs just since i bitched earlier. Though "Jonny" the Majin doesn't want to give up the seventh...

Have to wait for trunks to talk to them

I already said I know you have to wait for Trunks, but can I just run away and wait for him to talk to them or is it triggered by fighting them and lowering their health?

I think you have to fight them

PC: I can't even get into the single lobby this morning... Just keeps throwing me back to the title screen!

I had that problem, too. So I just went into Windows Firewall and blocked outbound connections in Xenoverse and now I'm good to go for the time being.

Are the majority of PC players using a controller like a 360 one or just keyboard?

I have a hard time imagining myself playing a DBZ fighting game on keyboard but then again I've never played a fighting game using a keyboard.

Using a Logitech F-710 wireless controller. Basically just a 360 controller variant. I use it for all my PC games except for things like FPSs where I find mouse + keyboard more appropriate.

Fighting games on a mouse and keyboard would be atrocious.

Anyone else find the fact that these random no name Majins/Nameks, even HUMANS, are stronger than most of the Zsenshi by virtue of the fact they actually can fight suped up versions of incredibly strong z era dudes?

I like the random Namek I made, but I don't believe he could be stronger than Piccolo.

[Super SaiyaJon]

It's a miracle I haven't popped a blood vessel in rage! I'm about to go Super Saiyan I'm so angry.

But seriously, I can't for the life of me get a Z rank on PQ12. I'm doing all of the extra clear requirements, doing all the special things (defeat 5 enemies with supers, ultimate attack finish, combo of 20+) and I'm not even close (My best score is 300 lower than Z rank requirement)! What have I done wrong?

[ZazamPow]

Is it possible to co-op with another player offline? As in a second controller in the same physical room? I know how to verse, but can you coop missions or parallel quests together?

[Tsufuru]

...Okay...anyone got any suggestions for how to get Bardock to freakin' stay alive long enough for me to even get to where Freeza comes out?

is it possible to use the objects that heal your team in that match?

Controller is preferable but I have friends who are using keyboard and mouse with no issues at all.

Their default controls are fairly intuitive and unlike many Japanese PC ports, the controls are rebindable so it's easy to find something that works for you.

I haven't tried, but I don't think so. I know I had a team-healing item in another mission before, and while it healed the people I brought with me, it didn't heal the mandatory guy (in that case Freeza) that I had with me at all.

This! I had lots of trouble at first on the mission where you're in Ginyu's body and Gohan and Krillin have to survive while you defeat 20 enemies. But after hours of attempting to get the Materials to create the All-Energy whatever (the item that should heal yourself in addition to all teammates) and it doesn't even do what it claims! Pretty useless if you ask me.

EDIT: I would suggest simply leveling up a ton. The stronger you get, the more efficient you can be at killing the guys you need to. Quicker victory means less time for Bardock to take damage. It's a pain in the butt, though, since it can take a long time per level-up, and to only get 3 more attribute points per.

I think the only buus you have to kill are the 3 regular ones at the start, when I did it, I only managed to kill 2 of the small buus and once Trunks started talking to Buu I flew around the map until he finished and the mission was cleared.

[BobZ]

Hey, does anyone know if you still get a free Xenoverse theme when you buy the Season Pass from PSN?

I'm mainly interested in the PS3 version and I'm in EU.

There was a post on the Dragon Ball Z Video Games Facebook page about it, but it has since been removed for some reason...

I've had my eye on that particular controller (as a possible companion to my 360 one or to replace it if need be), and I'm curious. Do most PC/Steam games just register and use it as easily as a 360 controller, or do you have to do anything special with it?

They recognize it just like a 360 controller as, like a 360 controller, it's X-input, which is the PC controller standard now adays. Just plug in the bluetooth dongle, let the drivers install, and you're good. No need to set anything up. Just rock and roll. HIGHLY recommended. Plus I've had it for a year and had to charge my rechargeable AAs all of twice.
