Hey Everyone,
We're back with our third patch of the month! Crazy, I know. We wanted to get as much as possible out this month to try to help with that medical fundraiser, so we've created a bunch of new Winter items, and new Adventure Passes, along with new Winter Event rewards! See below for more details.
Winter Event
The Winter Event is here! The snowy maps have returned, adorned with gifts and decorations, and Santa's sleigh will drop snow everywhere. Enjoy the Christmas music, and defeat the Sintas to get their Snowman Piggy Banks to trade to Tinder in Korin Village across from the Auction House for lots of fun Christmas rewards!
GP Shop Updates
Many new Winter items have been added to the GP shop, as well as two new Winter Adventure Passes: the normal version, and the Advanced version. The normal version is also available from the Tinder merchant, and contains most of the classic Winter themed items. The Advanced version contains beefier rewards and most of our new Winter items. Also, be aware that many of the items added last patch for the fundraiser like the Silver Box capsule, and potentially the Wagu/Event Coin/Consumable capsules will likely be removed from the shop and respective machines at the end of January. If you want to keep those in the shop, or take advantage of their limited status, it is best to stock up now.
New GP Items
- Black, Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Frieza, Cell, and Buu Beanies, Ski Masks, and Jackets have been added to the GP Shop, and Tinder merchant.
- Each respective set of 3 has a capsule you can get at a discount, and there is a master capsule that contains all of them for an even bigger discount!
- Reindeer Krillin, Santa Tien, and Santa Trunks sets have been added to the GP shop, and Tinder merchant.
- Winter Adventure Pass and Winter Advanced Adventure Pass have been added to the GP shop. The Winter Adventure Pass is also available from the merchant Tinder.

2.0 Update
The testers have been hard at work with 2.0 and have discovered quite a few small bugs, and half a dozen larger ones. I am working my way through them as fast as I can, but it is taking a little time, with all the Christmas and fundraiser stuff going on. We are almost certainly not finishing 2.0 by the end of the year, but we are pretty close. Hopefully I can get all these knocked out ASAP and get the client in your hands, but I don't have an exact date on how long it will take. Weeks, most likely, but we'll see. It is highly unlikely we'll have Dojo War on release, but we'll do a poll for that when the time comes. Once I get the client a little more stable I may do a Q&A stream with it, and answer some of your questions live. Be on the lookout for a roadmap on what we'll be working on after 2.0 is out and stable, as well.
- Fixed a bug allowing players to keep a Budokai title equipped for longer than one tournament cycle.
- Fixed a bug causing Budokai tournaments to wipe titles from the current cycle's champions.
- Fixed a bug causing Raditz Armor to crash the game.
- Fixed a bug preventing Raditz Armor from working for all races/genders.
Final Words
That's the Christmas patch, and likely the last major 1.0 only patch we'll ever release! It feels like it's been forever, but Winter 2018 seems to be right around the corner now. What we have managed to do so far, all the changes we have made, have almost all been with serverside code. Once we have unlocked the potential of client side patches, expect the nature of our patches to change a bit. Expect things on the quality of the new launcher, for example. There will be significant gameplay changes, starting slowly and snowballing over time. I will do everything I can to keep to the spirit of the original game, while improving some of the rougher spots, and adding new features. Before we do that, however, we have to fix all of the existing systems and content, and get to a stable, localized game that everyone can enjoy, free of crashes and quality of life issues. I'm excited to be able to work on things other than just server code, and implement some more interesting designs for you guys. I'm extremely happy and thankful you've all stuck with us this long for this part of the ride, and I hope you'll enjoy all the great things we have coming next. If we've been able to accomplish all this with only serverside code, what do you think we'll be able to do once we can patch the client as well?
As always, thank you for playing and supporting us! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas everyone! We'll see you in game!
