Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
No. Not even close. They were supposed to go through the events of the entire manga and they left off on a giant cliffhanger before finishing the Freeza battle.
Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
I would love to see Miira and Towa appear in Heroes. I really don't want all this material to just disappear. I would like it to be expanded upon.TheDevilsCorpse wrote:If it actually fails without an ending, rushed or not, maybe they'll re-purpose it towards a future spin-off manga or new animated material, series or movie. Perhaps combine DBO and Heroes into a new property, one where they can utilize the avatars and potential what-ifs by distorting the timeline.
I can dream...
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
So since HG-Project speaks Korean, and the Korean version will die next month, is it possible to extract the text from the Korean version so that the story parts could be translated?

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
Everything is mostly under control now.
Apparently there is also some text in the game's .gfx files. They contain the text that appears in the opening to the TMQs and sets the stage for the player. They can be extracted from the "flash.pak" file with the DBO Unpacker. .gfx files can be converted to .swf files by opening them in a hex editor, changing the first 3 bytes from "GFX" to "FWS", and then changing the file extension to "swf". They can then be viewed in a flash player.
Sadly, I can't seem to get the DBO Unpacker to do anything with the Korean game. If someone can manage to work that out, then just PM me the files to hold on to till she's ready for them (she'll lose them on her messy desktop =P).

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
You could ask help from DBOcom for this, I guess?
Also, 2 questions:
1) Where can the story of the Ultimate Dungeons be found?
2) I was checking the DBO page on the wikia (my eyes bleed from the inaccurate information), and it said that Kaio taught to the Earthings & the Namekians the Kaio-ken, while the Majins mimiced it. Is this legit?

I just hope the ending of this game pops up somewhere because that would really bite. We would never know what happens to the dragonball online world.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
Also, is there any video of TMQ7 with all the cutscenes?

Not that I'm aware. There were a couple with partial scenes from not everyone canceling the cutscenes right away, but nothing that revealed the whole story. I had to research the videos and consult with people playing it to get the detailed summary of TMQ7 I have.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Also, is there any video of TMQ7 with all the cutscenes?

Thanks, I'll take the Kaio-ken information from the wikia as bullshit for now.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
This really blows. But there is a good side to that. Few days before closing Korean Version is supposed to make cash shop items free. Therefore way more players will be easily able to solo TMQ7 with epic equipment during the last days, certaintly somebody will record the TMQ before it goes down.TheDevilsCorpse wrote: Not that I'm aware.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
It'd be great if someone would record that last one with all the cutscenes intact before they shut down. Ultimate Dungeons in full would be nice too.

This video has most of the TMQ7 cut scenes(except for the very last one) without the gameplay.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
Eh, whaddya know. Correlates with everything I was told too, so that's a plus. Don't need to rewrite anything on the TMQ7 entry.
BTW, here is the final cutscene; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLR8eaNG8-0

So stuff happens pretty much the same except there's a bunch of assholes trying to fuck things up in the background? At least that's what I've been gathering.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
For the TMQs, pretty much. There is usually very little interaction between the players or the Time Breakers, unless the character is done with their role in the story (reviving Kyui, taking Nail's blood, etc.). Most of the time, the Time Breakers are setting up plots to interrupt the known plot, and we intervene before they take action.

Re: Dragon Ball Online Discussion
I meant full as in someone doing it for the purpose of recording the content inside the dungeon, not just to beat it. There are a lot of videos out there were the camera never shows off the enemies properly, especially since there aren't cutscenes like in the TMQs. For example, I don't think we've ever gotten a proper look at Naraku and his guards.
