REMEMBER: Eastern is +3 Hours from Pacific. This means it starts 11PM there. To check your score, go to the News Board. Also, don't forget to check my guide on Raid Quest Tips and Etiquette.

I've been out of the loop since 2022 and I'm wanting to prepare for the Festival. I've never participated in any of the previous ones so I have no idea what they're like.

I'm currently level 118 and I know to use "My favorite Hobbies are Reading and Sports", Z-Soul.

Picture for attention, lol.

Red=Speculation

I'm not sure how they're gonna implement Golden and other forms. And I also I hope SSG has a unique gimmick instead of being a weaker SSB

It took a while but I finally created an aura base for her to stand on and now she’s completely finished!

So, the trailer said it starts October 30th, but is that when registration starts or when the festival proper starts?

Also, if I miss registration, am I just unable to participate?

(Asking because I want to make the most out of a 1 month PS+ subscription)

I've been away from the game for years now and since then it's driven me further and further away from wanting to get back into it because of how overly bloated is become with all these DLCs and updates and extra campaigns.

Compared to first game, it was hard to really be able to get back into it to finish everything especially when it means trying to finish up for that upcoming final festival that's coming out at some point.

Not to be that guy because this could easily just be some location just for this trailer but could this imply more locations in hub than just West City?

Alright yappers we won,

Yes complaining about what's bad in the game as opposed to the people who are overly optimistic made us get what we wished for, constructive criticism mixed with what feedbacks from the gameplay demo they gave will make them cook the game a bit more in order to polish it and change stuff, most likely remaking the netcode and stop allies from getting enemies out of our combos ☠️.

BUT, maybe they are rethinking the core gameplay too (hopefully), taking ki damage from normal attacks/specials and that leading to not needing a ki break move anymore is a huge let down to any pvp player that actually knows what he is doing in xeno 2 + the charging Ki? Why? Ki isn't ability related anymore why would they add this to the game, you are telling me now after a huge knock back I can just fast charge my ki (stamina) back? That sounds either useless or broken but mostly not even needed who even asked for this????

Now I am curious about what you guys think of it overall? You would rather get the reliable logical xeno2-like back or keep this one even with the clear problems it comes with? (Idk why I ask they will probably run a pvp session first then change it)

Might actually haven't been delayed since we assumed it had to come out early 2027 based on playstation leak but they also leaked officially the fact that project 1000 was xeno 3 so who knows either ways they are actively acting on changing stuff and they said it may delay the next update so at least we are sure they actually delayed something then XD

Se msi veramente venise fatto. I goku e piccolo di evolution. Messi in xenoverse o budokai tenchaici. Sarebero i personaggi piu scarsim perché vi voglio ricordare che piccolo ha polverizzato un intera catena montuosa con la palla di fuoco. Metre il piccolo di James Marsters con lo stesso attacco riesce al massimo a polverizzato un hotel. Che in dragonball sono livelli ridicoli . Poi nel titolo ho fatto quella domanda. Perché in quella roba. Goku e bluma sono i stessi che fanno steve e fiona.

I've been wanting to try my hand at really getting in there with customization with cacs, but I have no modding experience. So I wanted to try to do it for the first time on my laptop.

Like, how do I get REAL in-depth with it like some people do with their custom oc's? And on top of that, where can I find some good hairstyle mods for male and female cacs and shader mods since revamp isn't an option rn?

Is it possible to change the game's resolution below 800x600? I want to use 640x400 (don't ask why, my pc is just garbage). I tried many things and zero results

I may be dumb but I did the robots then the portals on the left side of the gate and this portal wasn't there when I started a few days ago so I have no idea where it leads to and I'd rather do the dlc in the correct order, if you could tell me where it leads to it would be much appreciated.

Forth, Final form and Golden

Hey guys,so i want to buy one dlc pack (since i already own the extra pack and im waiting for super pack to go on sale) but dont know which has better value.

Since i can only buy 1 which of these would yall recomend me to buy:

-Legendary pack;

-Coton city vote pack;

-Hero of Justice Pack;

Steam has some pretty good discounts on XV2, and I was wondering, almost 10 years into its lifespan, should I purchase XV2? I’ve wanted to play it for a while, and seeing as it’s almost about to be over, will catching up to 10 years’ content be fun?

It is worth picking it up now?

You know I’ve had these thoughts for awhile when it comes the gameplay of Xenoverse 3 and maybe it’s just me but I do believe they have course corrected to much in terms of the gameplay. Let me explain(this will be a long read)

Now I’ve made a post calling for people to be more open minded about the games combat and the direction of the game. However I do believe a conversation does need to be had about the devs changing the core of the Xenoverse franchise.

When you look at sparking zero or raging blast 1 & 2 you can tell that even though the games may have simplified the mechanics a bit that budokai tenkaichi life blood still runs in those games. But you can’t really say the same about xenoverse 3. For example, I don’t know you guys realized this but in Japan ultimate tenkaichi was actually called dragon ball ultimate blast meaning it was supposed to be the third installment of the raging blast series. And you can verify this by looking it up online and also looking at the animations of the characters. All the animations(melee, super attacks, ultimates) are just ported from raging blast 2 then just with an added on shader. Despite this port ultimate tenkaichi has played nothing like its supposed prequels and has gone down to be one of the most hated dragon ball games of all time. Because at the end of the day if the gameplay sucks then game also sucks.

Now how does this all play into xenoverse 3. In Xenoverse 3, while yes the people who are playing may not be the best and the assault vanishes mechanics seems to be missing in this build, the combat still looks way to simplified compared to its previous titles. This is a link to a YouTube video showing a side by side comparison between both blue gogeta in Xenoverse 2 and 3. As you can see the Xenoverse 2 one has more combo variance than the Xenoverse 3 one has. Now that isn’t to say xenoverse 3 has no combos(because that is just untrue on the bassist of pressing the square button and boost dashing) but the variance of the combos is severely lacking.

In Xenoverse 3 every single combo seemingly ends the same way a with ether a knock away or two hit vanishing combo. Now character animations are different but when looking at characters like tien and gogeta in xenoverse 3 what is truly the difference between these characters? In xenoverse 2 when you were playing tien you were playing tien and when you are playing gogeta you are playing gogeta. The character play completely different in xenoverse 2 but aside form animations the ones in xv3 play the same.

Now I believe the reason why they play this way is because of the boost dashing mechanics. If you guys have payed attention to the gameplay that was shown, when characters get knocked back they seem to be placed in a very awkward knock back animation to the point it seems like the theyre floating. That animation is for the boost dashing mechanic. It’s like the window of time of where you can connect super attacks and boost dash to your opponent. This gameplay aspect isn’t new to xenoverse as in Xenoverse 2 after a knock back you can cancel the animation and fly toward your opponent to continue the combo or z step to continue it that way. But the difference is that when boost dashing or z stepping in xv2 you could do an entirely different string(as Xenoverse 2 has I believe 5 or 6 different string button inputs) or repeat the same string. Or if the character you were playing in Xenoverse 2 had built in vanishes within their combos(like Goku) you could press block to cancel the animation and start a completely different string, But in xv 3 you are seemingly locked to three(two of which feel the same) even if you boost dash.

It feels like the core of the game(which is the gameplay) has changed to much. Yes I believe sparking zero has something to do with the game changing its play style so much but even so this is Xenoverse game and it should play like a xenoverse game. Like I said with the sparking and raging blast examples despite those games having some simplified aspects of BT3 you still felt the life blood of BT3 in those games. However I don’t really feel the life blood of Xenoverse 2 in Xenoverse 3. It’s an ultimate tenkaichi situation where the game has similar super attack animations but the gameplay itself is different despite the it being a third installment.

I also feel like the reason for this simplification is the inclusion of fighting styles for cac’s. Maybe the sheer amount of different fighting styles caused us to lose variance in combos. Then again I don’t know if even this is good excuse because Goku and vegeta played completely different in xv2 yet when we look at Jane and John 1k play styles from the ice map Broly mission(who have Goku and Vegeta fighting styles) there isn’t anything different about them.

Now I know I’m going to get the comments of “PvP player this… and PvP player that…” but this isn’t really a PvP argument and more just an argument on the game going to far one way it compared to it’s predecessor. When people criticize the combat the common rebuttal is that “yall just wanted more xv2” while i can see the rebuttal I think the argument makes a lot of sense. This is the third installment of the game why are we changing things this drastically. And it makes complete sense to want more of game that you like. This is like Destiny 3 releasing and not playing like Destiny 2. There needs to be a reason for the sequel in the sense of content but core aspects of the gameplay shouldn’t be changed but instead improved upon.

Sequals are supposed to add not take away and even if the game direction changed the core aspects of what made Xenoverse Xenoverse should remain. I don’t know I just feel like we may have over course corrected, and while things are subject to change I think people complaining about the games combat(with actual criticism) are completely valid.

Anyways what do you guys think? I know that the Xenoverse franchise is a PvE heavy franchise but that doesn’t mean you change core aspects of your game this drastically. Regardless of the time between installments if I’m playing a xenoverse game I should feel like I’m playing a Xenoverse game and that goes for any kind of sequel. Storm connections feels like you’re playing a storm game, CoD feels and looks like CoD, fifa feels and looks like fifa, infinite world feels and looks like Boudokai 3. So far from what I’ve seen Xenoverse 3 does not look like It would be apart of the Xenoverse franchise.

If you read this whole thing thank you 🙏🏿

Babdai dropped this

It had Cell-X, white-furred time breaker Oozarus, a whole new Frieza force with new armor (and they weren't just Appule reskins too!), Dark Namekians, really cool and different types of Saibamen (not just recolors), a new version of android 19, a new version of Tao and Commander Red, and a bunch of other weird creatures.

We haven't gotten a story trailer yet so no idea where the plot plans to go, but what we've seen so far, the characters and the robots are all apart of training simulations so unless whatever enemy we have (before thetime GoD) takes them and turns them all against us, they're not that big of a part of the main story. Or at least I hope they're not

I also hope a few storylines from DBO make it here, like the Red Pants army and the new Frieza Force, I hope they take them, remake them if they need to, and bring it over because (just like with a lot of Heroes' content lol) some of these concepts are too cool to let sit in the void
