Greetings Dragon Ball Online Global Community,

Due to the significant number of reports and complaints that the DBO G Team receive every week, it has been decided that there will be new rule(s) set in place in regards to Dojo Wars.

The following rule(s) will be added to DBO G's Game Policy:

• No guild is allowed to abuse the dojo war system by creating fake (or alternate) guilds to challenge themselves under any circumstance. This means that no guild is allowed to disrupt the dojo application process by creating another guild (or having their friends challenge them).

Any guild caught breaking this rule, will risk having their guild and the alternate guild deleted, along with the guild leader behind these fraudulent (false) wars will be suspended.

It has been decided that all dojo wars must be fought in a fair manner and defended correctly each week.

Game Masters will be spectating all dojo wars from now on to ensure that a fair fight is in order.

Please note: A guild with 60 active members (for example) is allowed to split into 2 guilds and fight for two different dojos simultaneously. If your guild is strong enough to defend two dojos simultaneously, then that is fine.

If you believe an alternate guild is used to defend a dojo in an unfair manner, please feel free to submit a ticket along with screenshots. The ticket will be reviewed by DBO G Staff and if the guild that is caught abusing the dojo application system is found guilty, they will be punished accordingly.

Thank you for your attention.

Regards.

Greetings Dragon Ball Online Global Community,

The DBO G Team would like to bring the attention of the community of reporting other players, and this thread should help clarify with members of the community when action should be taken to prevent negative and toxic behavior.

If you feel that another player is impacting your experience while playing Dragon Ball Online Global, we strongly recommend you to block that player.

If that course of action does not work, and the player continues to persist to negatively effect your experience, only then is when you should report that player who is causing you grief.

The DBO G Team receives many reports on a daily basis of players harassing other players, but in order for the DBO G Team to take action, the following criteria must be met:

• A screenshot or video must be captured of the incident.
• The whole conversation must be shown to the DBO G Staff member (snippets of conversations that do not display the whole conversation will be ignored - The DBO G Team must know the full context behind the image in order to take action). Images must have a stretched out text box or there must be multiple images submitted for the report to be valid.
• Reports must contain conversations in which rude behavior, obscene/sexual remarks, racism, cursing or aggressive, harassing behavior including derogatory and/or hateful comments that are sexual, racist, religious or related to gender/creed are evident. If the report does not not contain conversations such as this violate DBO G's Game Policy, it will be declined.
• The image/video must not be altered or tampered with in any way, shape or form. You must submit the image/video containing all character names that are present. If the image or video blurs or cuts out players names to protect others, then it will be ignored.
• The DBO G Team do not consider mob stealing - in relation to farm areas as an act of harassment. Please remember Dragon Ball Online Global is an MMO and you are not the only player, and the environment is to be shared.

The incident will be forwarded to a GM (or a member of Staff who has the authority to take action) and the situation will be reviewed. If the player who is causing grief is found guilty, they will be muted or banned (depending if they are a constant re-offender).

The DBO G Team would like every player to have a positive, safe experience while playing Dragon Ball Online Global.

Regards,

Tempest

Hello,

It already violates DBO G's Game Policy if a player is using multiple accounts to farm for medosa points in ranked matches (if you suspect a player is farming medosa points with themselves, then please create a ticket and post evidence).

However, to prevent players from using multi clients in Budokai, Scramble, and Dojo cannot happen, as it will be too hard to monitor and track down which players exactly are multiclienting. If multiclienting is allowed for PVE, then it has to be enabled for PVP too. There is no inbetween.

Besides, if a player is multiclienting in Dojo, then that can be seen as a disadvantage since one player is inactive in the war, so how exactly is it an advantage over a guild with active 30/30 members?

In terms of budokai a player can only really dual client in prelims, and then past that they will fail. And in Scramble a player can use it for buffs.

This thread will be closed, thank you for submitting your suggestion.

Regards,

Tempest

Quote from EchoSon

You guys have shown you're willing to stray from retail whenever you want, which a fixed rate and needing RP to counter(which completely justified an 80% counterrate) is nothing like retail, mind you. But when it's suits you, you pull the "it's like retail" card to justify a nerf directed at a class that absolutely didn't need nerfing? And where'd you get the "defense rate barely had an impact on counterrate" idea from? I said it was an initially low chance to counter WITHOUT defense rate.

You act like Defense rate was such a useful stat in retail, which top tier player built gear with and around Defense rate again? Oh yeah that’s right, none. Because stacking Defense rate wasn’t considered to be useful.

It’s always been a stat that has had minor impact, and yes even if you stack defence rate it still wouldn’t turn you into a countering machine even back in retail.

And yes, we will refer back to retail when we want to because if something was more balanced or more efficient/effective in retail then we will refer to it. This was one of those cases.

Quote from EchoSon

The statistics in DBOG don't show SM being OP with this at all.

The only route that could've lead up to this path is a certain dev member getting a vendetta against some Swordsman who beat him with this. There are so many serious balance issues in DBOG, yet THIS is what struck you as a problem. That's what we call bias.

Stop with the assumptions. It was changed because countering occurred more frequently than retail, and for no other reason.

Quote from EchoSon

1: Nerfing a class that's never won a single Budokai before? And you realize guard-spamming is incredibly punishable? Why are we focusing on non-offenders in the balance? Actually make an attempt to be objective!

2: Let's nerf EVERYONE's counter rate for this??? This team sure loves tampering with stats affecting everyone rather than addressing the actual issue at hand. When will you guys learn?

3: Counter rate is meant to be based on DEFENSE RATE. So are chances of resisting knockdowns and HTBs. WHY are we still using randomly decided fixed rates and leaving defense rate to remain a mostly pointless stat?

4: Slightly less on-topic, but counter didn't need RP to work in retail. It was just a low chance that increased with defense rate.

Who's making these balance choices, and why are they so biased? You can argue all you want this isn't a big change to hide it's a mistake, but you NEED to get your priorities straight.

The counter rate was changed because it was too high compared to retail. A successful counter to land would occur less frequently and not come 80% of the time.

It’s only considered a “nerf” in DBO G due to the change but some of the DBO G Staff including myself felt it was occurring too frequently to the point where it felt like it was more than retail (you said it yourself, counters only have a low chance that increases with the more defence rate you have...but even then it still wasn’t by much).

Quote from KazunaK

You're missing the point again. No, there's no argument against buff synergy. It's the fact that this specific buff synergy, KARMA + POKO (which is already arguably the most OP combination in the game since they make speed parties) becomes even MORE ridiculously wanted. There's barely any reason to take anything else with this. As people say, turtles? PFFFF, who needs those, am I right?

Optimal party, I can see it now; Karma, Poko, Dende, Ulti and an SK. Classes that are all godly at PVP as well - and human classes get the absolute shaft as a result of this mindset.

Also, it's funny because it's not just a "little" more viable, they can replace turtles pretty much altogether now because of how crazy the boost is - and there's no reason to take a turtle now in parties since, hey, they cover both massive group damage AND buffs at the same time... turtle only does one, maybe a little better, but with no ability to buff.

:thinking:

......

Players take ultimates for dungeons because of the buffs they give. Not because of movement speed aligning with spin. Even before that update ultimate's would still be a core class in the eyes of the community due to the update requiring to take an ultimate into dungeons so you have their buffs.

Attack speed only is supreme because it's the most time efficient method, but every class is still capable of doing PVE.

Blame the community, not the game.

Quote from EchoSon

For some reason people took this as me complaining the Majin Spins got buffed. To all of you who did......

YOU COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT.

I didn't think a buff was necessary, but I'm indifferent to that. What I'm AGAINST is movement speed being the trigger. You're encouraging attack speed parties even more because of this, the Poko+Karma combination. THAT's the issue. Why do people love twisting a discussion into something it's not?

1: There's no PvP/PvE distinction with classes. Most top PvP classes....Ultimates, Karmas, SKs, are ALL the characters you'd want to take to CC150 as well. Dende, the ultimate PvE class? Great at PvP, ESPECIALLY Party PvP. So that's a garbage argument.

2: Martial Artists are the first class presented to you. Most people being Saiyan fans are going to pick it just because they love DBZ or wanna be like Goku/Vegeta. How are they SUPPOSED to feel about being locked to lvl70 PvP, which they would've been just as good at if they just picked an SK or Karma?

You mean it helps them deal up to 102% more damage if they've got a Poko, Karma, Movement Speed potion, and Speed Dogi? Did you mean to mention that a single lvl45 Majin could annihilate all of UD3's first floor enemies in a single spin with a Karma+Poko before this update? Riiight, my bad. Sorry to imply it wasn't a tiny lil' tweak~

...lol, it's not even the buff itself I'm trying to argue with, I'm mostly cool with that. But it's funny how desperately you're trying to underplay this. Can we double a Fighter's needle damage next if they stack movement speed? Just a small minor tweak, right~? (...that's a sarcastic joke, dimwits.)

Technicalities. Whether you attack twice as hard or twice as often, the result's the same, you do 2x damage.

Also, this has EVERYTHING to do with balance. Encouraging only the Dende+Poko+Karma+Buffer party is terrible for PvE balance. We should encourage ALL CLASSES to be viable in party combinations, not just 1 specific combination of subclasses. The way DBOG is going, we're gonna see NOTHING but that one party combination, plus either a Turtle or an SK, depending on how OP the Poko is. This is a humongous issue affecting everyone who's not part of these 6 sub-classes....classes who are ALL great at PvP too, Pokos excluded. No matter how you twist things, that will remain an issue forever until something is done.

So what you are effectively against is buff synergy? Welcome to Dragon Ball Online, or MMO's in general, where Buffs can increase the effective power of a class that is not in their skill set.

Buff synergy for example:

•   +   Are both two buffs that work exceptionally well for Fighters who choose to run a dex/crit based gear.

• + Both stack well for shadow knights who run LP%/properties gear.

• + Both are buffs that work in synergy for plasmas who run energy crit based gear.

And now your concern is:

• + That are buffs that will work in well with mighty majins (more specifically, ultimate majins ) that run movement speed gear?

You do realize that you are one of the only members who is going frantic over movement speed gear making spin a little more viable and giving the skill/class more mobility.

Not to mention:

Quote from Cashalot

spin does alot damage, but..

1#Its a damage over time

2#the skill cannot crit, and it can miss (buffers generally have pretty much the worst hitrate)

3#after a spin (all spins) there is a 5~10 seconds exhaust time.

4#Spin AoE is small, mobs can run away(people too)

5#Did i mention yet the big cooldown?

Display More

Aligning movement speed to effect spin is a small minor tweak/adjustment, and is not considered a huge issue. It hasn't drastically impacted PVP or PVE, the update just helps mighty majins deal a little extra damage for those who choose to wear movement speed gear.

It's not a big deal and it's not exactly game changing.

Besides, reading through the thread, you can see that small tweak to spins is positively well received by the community.

Quote from Vadim

Of course with the current imo bad changes they are necessary, but again why the restrictions?

Why are people forced to take a buffer into their party, thats upright dumb

Hello,

The buffing mechanic was altered and adjusted for the following reasons:

• It did not make much sense for a party to take a whole part of the ultimate/chef skill set (the core buffs which is arguably the most important part of the skill set) without these classes being present inside the actual dungeon.
• Many players who mained buffing classes complained that they were useless due to everyone leveling up their own personal private buffer
• This was to help encourage a more different variety of classes within parties to be formed instead of the generic shadow knight, poko, dende, karma + extra standard party.

Many players felt other classes were abusing the duration of the ultimate and chef classes, which was why some members of the community demanded for this mechanic to be changed.

This is the part where it’s time for this thread to close because members are starting to flame/insult each other.

The members who were flaming have been warned. Please remember forum rules and don’t let guild drama/rivalries interfere with threads.

It’s nice to see players achievements but when toxicity starts to spill in these threads it’s a signal that they shouldn’t be open anymore.

Hi,

Back in retail DBO it was easier to have +15 low level items, it was not uncommon. There were many players who were successful in upgrading low level gear due to the time token shop, so it’s not really a problem.

It was already experiemented with the time token system for players to only gain tokens while remaining active and not AFK. This did not work and proved to be an insufficient fix due to the following reasons:

• Players still found alternative methods to farm tokens to bypass this new system. This increased the amount of botters, and players using macros/keyboard bindings on the server.
• The token system is meant to be DBO G’s reward system. The reason why players can obtain crystals and other items through the token shop is because the team made the decision of not implementing the web depot feature so the time token system is meant to compensate for that.
• There were a number of complaints that we recieved as to why this system was unfair and how players were not recieving tokens.

It was due to these reasons why it was scrapped altogether, and the new time token system was implemented (which currently depends on the players level which equals to how many tokens they receive).

Players now do not receive as many tokens on low level characters.

Tempest

Bringing back the broken card to how it was like in retail, I feel neutral about this idea.

On one side, pre open beta was a mess. Players were running around with +15 gear and high upgrades like it was nothing. If the broken card was around it would have most likely prevented players from achieving this, and would have been for the better.

We do not want another pre open beta server to come about, that is by far the worst possible scenario.

However, with that being said, in Dragon Ball TW, HK and KR, players (especially free to play players) were afraid and didn't bother upgrading. It was way too risky, and was in all honesty more of a gamble then trying to pull rank 1 out of the wagu machine, which was why the system was originally changed to begin with.

Although with the new time token system, it is easier for players to be able to upgrade and obtain stones now, so it does balance out. In DBO G it is easier to obtain crystals overall.

Quote from Kish

Level 45 cap had nothing to offer....Most of the community was complaining about Shadow Knights needing to be nerfed because they are probably the only class whose strongest skill is maxed out by the time they are 45. I just hope your decision to not announce a date of future level caps isn't so you guys can keep us at lvl 55 for 3 months to prevent deadlines for the programmers. No disrespect intended just saying.

Not quite sure how or why you think the level cap duration is to prevent “deadlines for programmers” because the team was actually close to increasing the cap last week, and making level 55 available one week earlier than scheduled.

In the end we decided to hold back on that decision for the following reasons:

• The nature of the community and their complaints about every little decision the team makes. It was predicted that if the level cap was increased earlier than the 1 month deadline some players would have probably complained.
• We wanted to stick by our word of 1 month even though there were some players who were complaining about the 45 cap.
• Some players gave up and didn’t bother treating the cap seriously due to the knowledge of the cap only lasting one month.

This time it was decided to hold back on releasing a timeframe/duration just in case we want to release 60 cap earlier than scheduled, hence why it’s to be announced.

Quote from adrian on fire

how long is 55 cap

The duration of the cap will be announced at a later date.

The team is not disclosing the exact duration of how long the level cap will last because last time we felt this did prevent some players from being able to enjoy the level 45 cap to its full extent that it had to offer.

Hi,

Thousands of players have been able to complete these dungeons in both retail and DBO G. If it was broken those players would not be able to complete these dungeons at all.

The only problem here is some players try to take on more mobs then they can handle without paying respect to the mob's that agro. These dungeon instances have always been like this, ever since retail.

If you are having difficulty, then party with other players to run through the dungeon with you.

This thread will now be closed.

Hi,

This thread will be closed due to players just constantly accusing others of actions, without proof to support these claims. If you believe a player is cheating in Dragon Ball Scramble then please submit a ticket along with evidence.
