Given how Pressure Sign can handle both melee and ki, thereby preventing fake outs and only taking one skill slot, I reckon that's a pretty fair tradeoff.
As it is, one of the biggest weaknesses with my Change the Future/God Breaker build is that I can't find any combination of two other supers that doesn't leave me lacking in some area. Right now I'm running Big Bang Attack and Gravity Impact, which are great for mixing up with my melee combos, but I would have loved to include something like Galick Gun or Blaster Shell so that I could have a general purpose long range attack as well.

This is wrong, at least the PQ RNG for Ultimate Finishes has been increased as well.
Plus, now you respawn closer to the PQ desk, so it's a really good patch
That's something that puzzled me, anyway. If you win a PQ, you got spawned at those time machines way in the back. If you quit a PQ, you got spawned right at the desk.This is wrong, at least the PQ RNG for Ultimate Finishes has been increased as well.

I do hope it's easier to find the rarer trainers now. I want to find Beerus. Should probably also do Vegeta soon.
Just waiting for the patch to hit Steam.

There is no mention of PQ RNG changes in the update history. Where'd you see that?

Awesome!
Where are you guys guys getting the Halo item from? Majin Revival PQ?
It can also be done by doing them online. You have access to all online, and beating them unlocks them offline. That's the only way I was able to beat pq 47.

Thanks! I didn't know where I got the halo from, actually, but I just searched and apparently it's from PQ 34. Seems like there are wings, too. May have to try for those.

As I only plan to play this once and don't plan on doing any online battles, this all sounds good to me. Thanks for the info.

I think they are weekly gifts from the server. Dunno if they are always the same ball though.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Ah thats cool, I have 2 now. Only lvl 19 too.
I suspect you get a different one each week. I didn't play for a few weeks and logged in to a 3* and 6*. Maybe to guarantee people can unlock something after 7 weeks.

With the patch on PC coming out on Tuesday, I kind of don't want to play any more until then. Why grind away while the RNG is horrible?!
Diablo 3 season 3 starts tomorrow... and then GTA V comes out that Tuesday as well! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Oh Steam gets it on Tues? I wonder if we'll get early access to the DLC again (or was that for season pass holders? I just know that I had it available before it "released").

You can find the Steam forum official dev post here:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/323470/discussions/0/618458030674889948/
XenoVerse got me interested in GT but I had heard bad things about it which, in my opinion, turned out to be true. I just finished watching the whole thing, and I thought season 1 was mostly horrible while season 2 was a lot better but wasn't all that great until the end. My biggest problems with the whole series were that they basically gimp the powers of every character (eg. not fighting as super saiyan most of the time), it had a lot of inconsistencies (eg. out of power, now suddenly chipper; Goku, the most powerful and reasonably tactical fighter in the entire universe, fights like an idiot and makes a ton of mistakes), and they overuse the kamehameha like crazy. The fights were also always so lopsided such that there was never really much tension or back-and-forth flow to the battles: it was always 'this person has the most power and will win, oh wait now the other has more power and will win, no wait....' This is in contrast to many of the major fights in DBZ (Goku vs. Vegeta/Frieza/Cell/Buu) where they were usually almost evenly matched and it was skill or morale that changed the tide of battle. And these major fights were built up by showcasing the fighters in lopsided but stylish battles (eg. Ginyu force built up by beating Vegeta and co but then effortlessly pummeled by Goku who then seems evenly matched against Frieza).
In terms of why I think season 1 specifically was terrible, I think it was because they limited themselves to only 3 main characters (Goku, Pan, and Trunks) and didn't really develop them much at all (Pan being the only one and not even that well. Goku was a nonchalant fool the entire time, and Trunks was mostly useless). Season 2 was mostly salvaged by bringing back the Goku-Vegeta rivalry/friendship and polar attitudes. Overall, a weak series that tried to amaze with scale (galaxy hunting and bringing back most of the old villains) but forgot what made DBZ so strong (character development mixed with stylish fights).
Edit: And I'm done with Pressure Sign. It's way too unreliable/requires too much timing and, if you miss, you're stuck in an awkward pose where you're completely vulnerable. There's basically no reason to take it over Change the Future since you're probably not going to waste it on mere melee attacks which are basically the only thing you would have an opportunity to use it against since melee supers generally come out too quick to counter anyway.
Pretty late reply, but I think I'd recomment Tyrant Lancer as general-purpose long range attack. Low start-up, decent damage and blasts the enemy away quite far.

Nice, thanks. No capsules in endless battle is a good move.
I'm actually a fan of GT, but this is a pretty reasonable criticism. I will say the fight choreography wasn't up to Z's par, but I enjoyed everything else (the "fun" of DB in the first half and the "seriousness/high stakes" of Z in the second).

What pissed me off the most about DBGT is how SSJ4 I thought was the best concept given how imitating and dark it look in comparison to the overly alien-faced SSJ3, yet Goku was no better than Adult Gohan in that stage.
Hell, even SSJ4 Vegeta could barely land a punch.
Don't even get me started on SSJ4 Gogeta, that why I wish Xenoverse had the Janeba plot in it cause SSJ Gogeta was my favorite: a few lines, then got shit done. No talking and joking filler BS.
Does this mean I can reinstall and actually get abilities and clothes from the events within 5 attempts? Or do I have to still sit down 10 hours a day praying?

So I got the HellZone grenade to drop. Weak though.
How does that work, anyway? Been hit by it a few times and I'm not sure if it can be dodged easily. Or blocked. Wouldn't really be Hellzone Grenade if you could block it.
You can block it. In fact, I think if you block during the moment the user throws the first blast, you also block the invisible paralysis and can then just fly out of the attack
That's kind of disappointing. Especially considering Special Beam Cannon is unblockable, I thought that might be a Piccolo thing. Actually, can you get Z-assists off Ultimates that belong to a master, but isn't the one you got in the training? In this case Piccolo and Hellzone Grenade.

My favourite DBZ game is tenkaichi 3 and I played it for a long time, getting good enough to only bother playing vs hardest level computers. Does this game have a battle system of comparable depth and is the online populated? If so how's the netcode? My only interest is fighting online and playing the odd vs CPU match as Broly or something.

Yeah, it is disappointing. Looks cool; just weak.
From all the post-BT games it playes the most like BT3 and therefore is the best DBZ game since BT3.
Sadly the VS modes aren't nearly as good as in BT3 (that godlike mode where you can create a team from BT3 didn't make it), but online is ok.
Buy it, but be prepared for having to invest at least 20-25h before you get to unlock Broly, you need to complete the story first and then get a set of key items which are locked behind side quests, some of which are pretty tough if you're underleveled.
Putting together a melee focused Majin female character.
Currently in mind for stats I have,
Strike Supers - 100
Max Stamina - 60
Max Ki - 40
Max Health - 20
Basic Attacks - 20
Of course that's pre-patch, post patch I'll probably put another 5 into Ki, Health and Basic Attacks.
I was going to give her Kaoiken (either x3 or x20) but I'm leaning against it now. Defence boost will work best at high stamina, so the last thing I probably want to be doing is draining it away and then have rather slow stamina recovery.

I would recommend not putting any points into Max Ki since you can't really spam melee supers that well anyway and put those 40 points into Basic Attacks. You'll be surprised by how much damage you inflict with basic combos, especially if you PvP. I've done some PvP now on my 100 Basic Attacks, 65 Strike Super melee female human and people really aren't expecting the majority of my damage to come from just basic attacks. I'm just always in their face hammering away which prevents them from powering up for spam or getting any ranged attacks off. Even in coop play, I often end up doing the most damage because the spammers need to pause to power up and the moves themselves have large windup times whereas I'm just always dishing out huge damage from just free melee combos. As is, my 4xLight 2xHeavy combo does quite a bit more damage than most of my strike supers with these stats so the burst is lower but overall dps is quite high.

I've finally got the Super electric Strike, Super Vanishing ball and the Heat Dome attack. Today was a good day for farming. Also finished Cells mentoring.
Cheers for the advice!
Anybody got any idea what time the patch may be hitting today?
EDIT - Patch is live. Downloaded literally right after I posted.

So I guess it didn't come early on Steam, after all. Wonder why the first one did?
Looking forward to trying the new stuff tonight.
Looking forward to trying the new stuff tonight.
Yeah that sounds like really sound advice. Will have to try going that route if I ever get around to making a Male Majin
Decided to make a Male Saiyan that will focus on strikes. Got him to bout L70 so far. Just been using him in PQs. The melee ultimate strikes have grown on me such as Blue Hurricane, Unrelenting Barrage, and Victory Rush.
I just got done with the story side. It's about the same as last time, basically just 'fight these guys from GT' with a bit of dialogue. No real interestinglyng timeline changes like in the main game. There's a little thing At the end with ssj4 vegeta, but that's it.
The pqsd look mostly the same style.
Most of the clothes are buyable in the store, except for gogetas, annoyingly. I thoguth they learned there lesson last time
I think unrelenting barrage is supposed to be one od the worst moves in the game.
Since it seems to be the done thing, I'm gonna throw in my wishlist for Xenoverse 2,
I'm sure there's more I've thought of in the past and forgotten about, and more I'll think of in future....but that's my wish list as it stands.
Oh, and Super Kamehameha Z-Assist in space looks freaking awesome,
- More races for player characters - Maybe Kai could be a selectable race this time around. Tuffle could be another one as well. Given their advanced technology it'd be pretty easy to explain them as having had a hidden colony somewhere that hid away from the Saiyans so well that they didn't know the race had been all but wiped out.
Maybe even a Beerus race, since it seems the God of Destruction is essentially chosen from a pre-existing race. At least that was the impression I got from the movie. - Transformations for other races - So for Majin races you could have something like 'Super' and 'Kid' transformations. For Frieza race you've already got their various transformations in there. Humans and Namek's you could just make something up, it wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility given the nature of the game's plot, basically Super Humans and Super Nameks.
I'd also really like to see Saiyan Player characters being able to turn into a Great Ape.
Ontop of that I'd also like to see Saiyan player characters given the ability to achieve SSJ3, SSJ4 and SSJ God maybe. - More involvement of the Player Character - One thing I didn't like was how the player character was silent and just sort of happened along, then vanished with nobody really batting an eye. This time I'd maybe like the player character to be voiced and have more actual interaction with the DBZ characters, along with the characters remembering the player character.
- More created scenarios - So more original stuff along the 'what if' lines of the plot scenarios. So stuff like SSJ3 Vegeta, SSJ Pan, Fusions that never happened, etc
- Player fusions - The ability for two player characters to fuse together, with the resulting fusion perhaps being available either in one of your character slots, or added to your character roster for Parallel Quests (and you have maybe 5 or 6 such slots to fill with fusion characters)
- Bruce Faulconer soundtrack - His stuff was way better than the original music. There. I said it.
His backing music was way more suited to the action and drama scenes especially. So I'd love the option to switch in a 'dub soundtrack' as well as 'dub voices'. - Beam clashes - Honestly, I've no idea why this wasn't in the first game to begin with. It was a huge part of the show after all.
I'm sure there's more I've thought of in the past and forgotten about, and more I'll think of in future....but that's my wish list as it stands.

Sounds good to me! Just played the first two time patrols and enjoyed them. As a GT fan, I liked to see the little robot Giru get some screen time.
I'd honestly be cool with getting even more DLC of this nature...rumor is that pack #3 is about the new movie, right?
This. Please, this.
Nah, there's much worse if we're talking bout strike/melee moves. Such as Justice combination which I cant get to work
Just started Mortal Kombat X. right off da bat- in training mode I am wishing you can actually get an idea of damage dealt in Xenoverse like this

Been busy playing Bloodborne and now Mortal Kombat X is out. But still found some free time to hit up xenoverse:
Finally got all the Majin Buu clothes. Dat RNG!
Finally found Beerus hiding out in my city and got trained
Nice! Classic Majin look. How long did it take you to get do you think?
Surprised by a healthy challenge in the third new time patrol (
Baby, Super 17, and Omega
Didn't even realize the new dlc was out. I might swoop it up. The new fighters just don't seem too appealing.
How many PQs in dlc pack 2?
Oh yeah the majin buu outfit. Oh man who knows? I think I usualy hit up Majin Revival PQ at least 5-6 times almost daily (well every 2-3 days). I still dont have the Angel Halo
