Imagine Destiny, but give it a story that's kinda fun and cheesy, and you get hundreds of DBZ moves, clothes, and equippable passives that reflect the traits of a character in the show. You get to customize your own character with them.
Also combat that's flashier than Destiny
and arguably more fun too
Ooo thanks! I'll have to hunt for this one.

You mean join a team and play the story mode co-op? Ive been wanting to do that. I found the team registration building and it offers to create a team, but how do I join an existing one for story mode?
They seem to have fixed the issue
Join a team doing the highest level mission you are comfortable with.
That's sounds amazing and terrifying at the same time. I hope the drops are better than Destiny!
The drops are better! The grind is more bearable as well lol
Where do you get the secret shards? Completing patrol quests?
Also I hope Majuub is in the season pass. He was badass.
they're scattered across different pqs. I forget the exact ones but they show up in the rewards.
Well... On the upside you can keep playing the missions all you want. There is no stupid weekly lockouts. And you can make all the characters you want (up to 9? one for each male/female). And you can grind up alts uber fast.
Much better designed than Destiny through and through. This coming from a veteran Destiny player that has characters at max level.
Need to play with new DBXV patch more. I'd say Destiny was more polished (less buggy) pre-patch for sure
One thing I was lacking in terms of ultimates was a Strike Ultimate to reliably combo into. The Justice Combination from Videl&Gohan actually works for this, because the first kick, which has slight guardbreaking properties, is really quick, and the Ultimate cutscene only triggers after the enemy is stunned. Also, it deals roughly 20% more damage than Victory Rush ultimate, which has kinda lost its meaning now that I have Freedom Kick super to catch up and harass faraway enemies.
If you get hit with anything but a throw, Pressure Sign teleports you to smugly kick your target in the back with arms crossed.
It's really good utility. I've been using Pressure Sign for a short while, and being able to counter both ranged and melee attacks means that you never get rudely interrupted by another faraway enemy's ki blasts while you're triggering the melee counter, and vice versa. Basically, 1 Ki bar = few seconds of near-invincibility if not already juggled.

When you send someone flying with an attack how do you chase them down?
What are the time shards for?

X button on PS4. If you have at least 1 bar stamina youll teleport behind them.
Edit: 2 bars, my bad. Thanks Muzic!
Needs and eats 2 bars for that actually
Oh.. I was referring to Online Parallel Quests. It's tricky. PQ 53 only requires the team to gather dragonballs. However, most teams farm the main boss. So a lower level player could be a detriment there
But don't worry bout leveling up fast on your first character (unless you get stuck somewhere in the story). Taking 2 hours to hit L15 sounds bad to someone that has all the PQs unlocked (like me). But on your first run it can't be helped unless you get powerleveled
I'd be happy to help you level up if you're on PS4. I'm sandboxgod.
You want to be around L40+ at conclusion of story on average. The stronger you are- the stronger your NPC allies

They unlock the postgame story missions, which in turn unlocks the last set of Parellel Quests.

that feeling when you finally beat the rng to get the ultimate finish but then the loot rng fucks you over and you get jack shit. :I

Combat is ok, not very polished, but some of the core mechanics work well.
Apples and oranges, but Destiny is a much better shooter than this is a fighter. And I gave up on that game and it's bullshit. This game has the chance to birth a very neat DBZ video game franchise.

Finished all PQs today (went through them in one sitting) and unlocked all character variants and SSJ4 Goku.
It's pretty easy at level 80 with 2 good bots helping you (had Gohan due to mentorship and SSJ4 Vegeta because that guy is fast).
It's funny how in every quest with a lot of saiyans Vegeta was ALWAYS the hardest one. Not Vegito, not Gotenks, not SSJ God Goku or Gohan variants... it was always Vegeta being the one up close and personal 24/7 with 2 bars of health.

I got some things to do tonight, but I am willing to help new players level up.
PSN Name: UltimaManticore
We can do the Broly DB Mission (PQ 53).

That's funny, for me he's always the easiest to take down. It feels like he has a lot less health than the others. Three Ki blast ultimates and he's done.

I found Vegeta easy during my quests. Goku gives me the hardest time.
TimFL

He does have a lot of health but you can take him down easily. The annoying thing is that he always combos me to oblivion and I have to use an escape move to get out of it. No other opponent does that, it's only Vegeta.
He is no match for my lvl 80 Saiyan though so I usually let him combo me for a few seconds until he is done and my Ki is full.
Vegeta's usually the easiest one in my quests too. Adult Gohan is the one who gives me the most trouble, he either has a boatload of health or buffed defenses. Vegeta will go down in like 3 ultimates to me but Gohan will easily take double that

None of them are difficult on their own, it's only mostly when they group up and manage to chain their Ultimates perfectly.

Aw damn, I played Destiny a ton and now I'm interested in this game. I might pick it up this weekend.

Sweet, thanks! I'll be poking around tonight (EST), Im randomrage on PS4.
I know it's silly to say this as this is an rpg type of game and you get stronger as progress. But yesterday i was doing some of the first PQs again with my lv 50 earthling.
I destroyed yamcha, tenchinhan and kuririn so easily. It felt so DBZ.
Goku is a coward. I hate him and Gohan. Both are cheap ultimate spam cowards.

Super Kamehameha for DAYS. Screw Goku and Gohan when they're in the same area lol
Goku and Gohan both do this to me. They run away when I focus them but attack me in the back when I go for anyone else.
To say nothing of the absolutely ridiculous kamehameha spam they both do, locking and comboing you in their web of torment.

Are the clothing drops weighed to the stuff you don't have yet? Because they totally should be and most likely aren't.

They aren't. Got like 3 #18 pants before I got the whole set

so whats the most effective way to farm dragon balls? i got like 20+ hours into the game and I've yet to get all dragon balls even once
PQ 12. Some missions have a chance of having a time patroller that you can challenge to a fight. Defeat them and they have a chance of dropping one under the name "Key Item." PQ 12 has a patroller in the starting area. If he's not there, retry. If you don't get a key item, retry.

PQ2 is pretty good. Destroy Krillin, Yamcha and Tien, look at Kami's palace to see if there's a Patroller there, if yes beat his ass, if not retry. If you beat him/her you'll get a Material item and another item, if the other item is a Material item retry, if it's a Key item finish the mission.
Yeah this game is great fun. Only problem is the random loot drop chances which is a bit silly and totally unnecessary for such a fun game. But who knows maybe I wouldn't play this game as much if RNG wasn't there.
But like I said at least there's no weekly lockouts. So you can farm content all you want either online or offline. Random matchmaking for -all- the Online PQs means you can get together with other randoms and farm. Combat is super fun.
The story blows away Destiny's horrible attempt at one. Even when there's a set time for doing the Destiny raids you still have to often wait for folks to show up, etc. This game you just casually hop in and play.
PvE wise- in comparison to Destiny, DBXV (xenoverse) is missing the content that Destiny raids adds. Destiny raids were done quite well but unfortunately are locked behind a weekly lockout
