Captain-Sora wrote:I find the one called "Attack of the Saiyans" the fastest. Even though it actually opens with a battle against Raditz, you can easily defeat him in an instant. It's especially easy if you have that Broly Z-Soul that gives you max ki at the start, so you can just ultimate blast him to death in one go.

The Time Patroller would appear on the hill in the starting area after he's down, and you can just reset if you don't get the ball. Once you do, it's very quick to complete the mission after that, as you only have Nappa and Vegeta to take care of. What's even better is that you can ensure that the mission isn't made longer by any possible Ultimate Finishes since you can actively avoid doing the requirements(which are beating the saibamen before taking on the Saiyans).

It's a much quicker grind than going through all the Ginyu nonsense in PQ12 each time you get a drop.
Oops, forgot about that one :? . I'll do Attack of the Saiyans for the next set and update those rankings.

Golden Freeza will be a playable character in Xenoverse as part of the 3rd DLC pack :

There'll be other characters but they haven't been announced.

Hopefully Vegeta in ssj4/ssjg will be part of this pack.

Just came across something really weird. I did PQ 18 Return of the Ginyu Force to grind for Dragon Balls, and when Ginyu showed up... Freeza (1st Form)'s quotes started playing instead. Bizarre.

Then, after getting that Dragon Ball, I realized the Fierce Fight! Ginyu Force PQ would be almost the same thing except with weaker enemies, and decided to grind that (I was right - so that'd make it a better spot than PQ18). This time when Ginyu showed up, the same thing happened.

What the heck?

They really need to fix the RNG, there's RNG then there's Xenoverse's shit.

Right now, you have to defeat a boss that might not spawn for a drop that may not spawn. Separately, this isn't a problem, but when there is a 10% chance that your boss will spawn and then a 10% chance that the loot from that boss will spawn, there is a 1% chance of getting that loot on any given mission.

They should guarantee that the boss spawns as long as you meet the prerequisites and then guarantee that you will get at least one equip/skill per mission when applicable. Meaning, as long as you complete the mission, you get something and not finish four missions in a row empty-handed.

Similarly, there needs to be a bias toward things you don't already have in such a way that you're more likely to get loot that you don't already have.

I know. The RNG in Xenoverse is fucking atrocious. :thumbdown:

But in other news:

Along with that:

Neat. Thought they would have saved him for the next game. Glad that scouter is in too.
I'm guessing Demigra(maybe he'll also be a mentor?) will be one of the unannounced characters. I don't really know who else they could include.

Ssj4 Vegeta ? I know they said he's a pre-order/day 1 only but they said that about Bardock and Vegetto for BOZ then released both later due to fan demand.

While I agree that the RNG should be improved, I think that only the guaranteed appearance of the Ulti. Finish conditions should apply. Keeping the special prizes up to chance should only have its chance rate improved, otherwise there wouldn't be much point in replaying the PQ. Not only that, but always getting the equip basically makes doing specific PQs easy zeni grinding places. That's just my opinion though.

Personally I do hope that they add SS4 Vegeta as DLC for people who couldn't get the Day One edition (especially after the snafus that went on there), but I'm hoping they include him as his own separate thing rather than as a part of one of these DLC packs...since I already have him, and all, you know. :P

Man, even though it was highly suspected, a part of me just can't believe we're actually getting Golden Freeza so soon! I wonder if some of the new story missions will deal with the movie's plot as well...

The other DLC packs have story content so this one will probably be the same.

The pack looks to be focused on the movie so it wouldn't surprise me.

Hopefully we get a new battlefield as well.

Well, we do know Goku's outfit is gonna be a thing for custom characters at least, as a bonus for people going to see the movie in Japan...I could see both him and Vegeta receiving their movie versions as additional 'outfits' for themselves (and maybe even Gohan's tracksuit). Maybe even us getting them for our customs, since we do know we're getting said tracksuit there at least.

Sweet. Now I don't have to mod the game. Wanna see the new Goku, Vegeta outfits if they make it, don't see why they wouldn't. And I guess Gohan's too... that bum lol.

So cool! Golden Freeza, Jaco and Gohans new costume.

I would love Goku/Vegetas new costumes as well if at all possible...
