Starting today, Sparking Zero will be updating their disconnection penalties for people who "rage quit" or disconnect excessively. Let me know your thoughts, opinions, and feedback about the online experience right now in the comments below!
I wish they would add more customization too. I had to hop back to XenoVerse 2 cause it has better customization lol. But glad they're focusing on rage quitters IG
The biggest thing that upsets me, I believe is the underlying reason people are so upset at the game is the lack of communication, we are 2 months since launch and we know nothing. We don't know if we are going to get major updates or just minor balance passes, we don't know if more maps are coming, if multiplayer improvements are coming. People are starting to talk about Sparking 2 now because they have no clue if this game is getting support outside of character DLC. If you want to keep a game alive in 2024 you need to be open and honest with your community which clearly they are not willing to do
Theres adjustments to the game mechanics coming in an update in december, they posted about it...and the first round of character DLC is coming Q1 2025, we know a good amount brotha
Tbh this reminds me so much of xenoverse 2. Absolute silence, every event/update is japanese only until its globally released; months if not, years without any new content. When you get new content it's often 4 new parallel quests, 2 free costumes, 2 costumes based on 2 characters added via the dlc which should of been in the game and that's it. Until recently they never really added any new story after the first few dlc's (last one I remember of the early ones was the universe 6 pre-tournament saga) and they started around the dabura introduction; which is good. But even now the games is weird. No Great Ape still, no 2nd form cell, the majin-only race skill "gogo gum" it still usable by all races for some reason, Lord Slug has no giant form, despite his model being used by said giant form, etc... and at the end of the day the content is all "heres a raid you already beat, you get a new super soul and heres some loading screens" over and over. Granted that's probably how Xenoverse works, but I remember mmorpgs that had more than that. Games that gave you silly items like a squeeky rubber chicken, a potion that made you big, a skin for a weapon or attack that added rainbows or something. Along with rewards that were more than just the same stuff over and over. Where's the new rideable vehicles in the store? Where the new main menus? New music you can change any part of the game with, new mentors, new events (like mob rabbit for easter), etc.. Maybe it's just me but the game doesn't feel like a good mmorpg; it reminds me of cheaper mmo's like digimon masters, flyff, mabinogi; which aren't terrible but it shows. Or maybe i'm overthinking this too much. Tbh I should be glad we got one; we could of had another dragonball online :/
Not only that but the netcode isnt as good as people think it is. It can be "okay" when perfect but its not. Id hazard a guess as to thats why most of you cant put up more than 1 or 2 super counters when I fight you online, because ive practiced them down to an art but online is pretty garbage. Local play is phenomenal in this game though.
They should've given us a Closed/Open Beta before the game released. Sadly I still think the game wasn't finished and was rushed just to promote Dragon Ball Daima. I like this game, but MAAAAN they are really fumbling the bag when it comes to online. 😔
Yeah it's likely they had to meet the deadline of releasing it right alongside Daima's launch. I legit thought the game was coming early 2025, would've let them cook more and work out these issues after giving a beta.
@@SLOplays Yeah, but that doesn't mean I "hate" this game by any means, as Spike Chunsoft did a Fantastic job with this game so far! But with enough Updates throughout next year I'm sure people will start appreciating the game more, even with the Steam Charts. Thank God it's not another Storm Connections.....
@@SLOplays For sure! Still can't believe Tenkaichi 4 is actually real!! It's good to see the Devs are actually communicating with us and fixing the annoying stuff in this game, and I'm sure the Customization system will be WAYYY better in future updates. I have HOPE!!
I said it in the survey. They NEED to add the ultimate battle feature and survival mode. With all the characters they have, I’m surprised this game doesn’t have this mode. ULTIMATE battle was the main replayable feature for single player mode.
This is why people turn to ranked online, this game LACKS HEAVILY, in single player content. And you have brain dead fans saying "just stop playing ranked"
Player match has a thing where if someone quits it will tell you “Opponent has forfeited the match” and you get your XP and money afterwards. They should put that in ranked and make it allow players to get their points
@ I respect your chose in character lol I was waiting for you to say UI goku, gogeta 4 Z broly because had you said those 4 I would have had a big joke for you.
I love the game i completed the game i got every achievement, I've played with friends i played ranked. And the only time I got upset was ranked. Playing with a friend was heart warming, playing the story made me cry from nostalgic memories. Ranked pissed me off so much I don't like toxic environments because honestly I play this game to remember when my life was simpler. I'm not playing to sweat my dragonballs off 😂. I know people who've got 100s of hours and haven't completed the game im at like less than 70 hours of game time and ive done it all every single thing
Gonna try to get there before the year ends! I really appreciate all the support this year from ya'll that regularly come to the content, so thank you!
For what I read, I read in rank battle mode. People who rage quit in mid game, the opponent that rage quit or disconnected from mid game, Will Lose A Rank..!!! After 3 in-game, disconnection, your gameplay will be reviewed & monitored, and if evidence shown you are disconnecting from a losing game after 3 disconnects, you will be suspended from rank mode. Which I believe this is a fair disciplinary action.! Why? Is it fair? Because we rank players work very hard to earn our stripes and those people who are just backing out of midgame fighting, get very annoying!! Especially just so they don't lose ranking. WELL Guess what? Now? You will automatically lose a ranking for rage quitting. On mid game fight, it's also on ranking mode and tournament modes.!!! But in all honesty, this should have happened from day one.
They also definitely need a concede option as well so if I get matched with a spammer I can easily concede and fight someone else instead of having to wait 5 minutes afk waiting for them to be at me
Just get better bro most spammers not really good it’s easier in solos, dp battle gets tricky but should add ki sickness back most people can’t box fr.
@@semajspivey1720 they should make the ult only available once per match problem solved because then you actually have to think before trying to go sparking
@@TmhRomeyGaming2570 agree to disagree it’s over used for wrong context.however don’t take away the fact some people complain about everything cause they are not good as another person, every body shouldn’t be equal at everything it’s gap for a reason put in the work. The game was founded on cheese you could play around majority of it.
They should not have held ANY tournament's knowing the state their game is in right now above all. Theres so many bad z ranks who are only there because they quit more than they brush their teeth and all while playing a 7,8 dp character in single battle. The commentators didnt know what they were talking about during the tournament and the players that didnt deserve to be up there made the gameplay just look mediocre. You want the best to show off your game not someone who knows how to press square with gogeta sprinkled with a few triangles and pull a 15k combo unfinished. You gotta choose if you want your game to be easy to mash or something that will bring in an audience along with constant money flow with the competitive scene. Dont let trash players represent your game
Think that’s what the competition is for.. so skilled players can actually show the potential of the game… most of the player base complains about things needing nerf because of cheese etc.. but i don’t think anything g needs to be nerfed because i find people that cheese to be easy.. the only thing they do is rage quit when they get beat lol
One of the things I wrote in the survey was the rage quit ranked situation. The funny thing is, the people I found to rage quit the fastest were the players that use the Gogeta's, and UI Goku. Its like, come on, using the most powerful characters but once they lose 2 or 3 bars of health they just have to quit because they are losing. Its like at least attempt to clutch up cause there's a chance you can come back and win the fight, especially with those characters. IDK maybe they just didn't have the high enough skill to come back and that's why they are relying on the top top tier characters. I think one of the best matches of 3 I had was when someone was using Android 16. I would say 16 isn't in the high strong tier or top op tier of character, this player was just good and was able to use 16 and the game mechanics accordingly. The end of each 3 rounds we both had a few less than half the last bar of health remaining. Wanted to rematch quick, fumbled up and didn't hit square to save the one match I lost which sucked. I don't care about the loss, care more about not having that match saved in the log with the two I won. All three were close.
To anyone saying that it should be a one time and you’re penalized I don’t think you’re thinking clearly. This would affect people who have their power randomly go out (probably worded that weirdly) or have bad Wi-Fi connection.
I feel like after a while only the Vegito and Z Broly players are gonna be happy with this. They could’ve just given the disconnected player the loss and given the player that stayed the win. Plenty of people just don’t wanna deal with Vegito’s Afterimage Strike or Broly’s spark into ki blast and unblockable. Then there’s Wheelo who apparently has some form of cheese from what I hear. I’m not the biggest fan of rage quitters (outside of the satisfaction of beating them while they’re cheesing) but this doesn’t feel like a very good way to fix the game’s ranked which already isn’t healthy at all
I literally just started the video but smth I think they should do is when you rage quit like 3 times in a row your rank goes down or they could do what they do in dbxv2 and stop you from being able to play online if you continually rage quit (at least that’s what I think the red name means)
Pretty sure red names are just a mark of shame. I don’t think they have an actual penalty with them but the playerbase knows people with red names are clowns.
Alot of people rage quit before their life hits zero I have been disconnected while doing a comeback combo off of fighting games Never have i been disconnected during their ultimate on a kill.. even when its been laggy all game, studdering It is fairly easy to detect when a match is left
This is a good start but I also hope they improve the games performance along with it. There's been a few of times where I'm throwing hands online, even winning, then the game crashes and when I boot it back up it wags its finger at me.
The cycle continues: - S0 has a rage quit problem -> game is bad - S0 fixes the rage quit problem -> game is bad Dragon Ball fans hate Dragon Ball like Nintendo hates their fans
A better solution is just when the person disconnects you fight a bot instead🤷♂️ makes it funny aswell because then we get people angry because they lost against a bot 😮💨
I think they should have their rank reset that's the only way to deter them so much so that they never come back to ranked until they grow up. Also, for people who get disconnected because of their internet, they shouldn't be in ranked in the first place so reset their rank too.
@@rayvonvelez3129 Yes I didn't add that because they already said it in the vid but it only makes sense, and after 2 resets they're perma banned from ranked. More money for the devs if they buy another copy and everybody's happy.
They’re comparing the playerbase from launch to the current playerbase. Losing 80% or so of your playerbase within a month is definitely not a good sign and I’m honestly not sure the majority of them left because of ranked players rage quitting.
@@Zeral__ On steam It's already a lot more than 80% unfortunately. From 120k peak to 7k players a day. I don't know about other platforms but I doubt it's any better. That's around 94%
@@Zeral__it just doesn't have staying power for content honestly, like I dig what's there but the amount is what's lacking. It's a really quick game to play through compared to other db games.
@@justanothercommentercarryo8367 yeah. My biggest complaint is how similar the characters feel to play. There’s not as much that separates the characters like in other games outside of just how much damage Gogeta does or how Broly has armor. You’re pressing the same buttons for the same combos with a super or ult that just plays itself out. With Xenoverse and Fighterz the supers, specials, and even a lot of the ultimates had some form of utility and felt different from each other and don’t even get me started on the normals. Neutral felt like a different game depending on who you played but with SZ, neutral feels the same for nearly every character. When I kept hearing fans chanting that this game was peak and that it was gonna be the game to put XV2 in the trashcan, I was expecting at least 100 characters that felt different but now only certain characters have certain advantages. It’s not even variety. It’s just flat out advantage.
People saying “too late, the players are gone” makes no sense. That is deadass like giving a starving child some food and they say “too late, Im already starving.” Like don’t you think once they release more patches and content players will come back???
I believe for the disconnecting, the one who left should get the lose and penalties, like being suspended after a certain number of quits and I say this so people don't start wintrading like this. And then the one who stayed just get the win. Honestly I wouldn't really mind if people could quit as they please when they realize is not possible to win for them, it would help everyone, the one who stayed gets the points in rank and nobody waste time, but we need to think on this in a way that wintrading doesn't become a thing.
People commenting dead game or stuff in regards to the declining playerbase have zero insight, this literally happens to every game.. This game came out, everybody were playing and streaming left and right, one of the few games in the franchise that hit the mainstream, what we see now is basically everybody who weren't a fan hopping over to other stuff. The game has more players on steam than tekken 8, and about the same numbers as SF6... That is still impressive...
I'm running off fiber with a high end router, directly connected via ethernet cable, and I CONSTANTLY get communication errors on steam. I'm 95% sure shit's totally fucked on the pc side... but I'm really hoping that patch fixes the PC situation.
As a steam player, I have never had any connection issues. The only issue I have ever ran into is rarely when the opponent doesn't have recommended specs the match will lag and it's pretty irritating but not the end of the world, just finish the match and look for another room. Also as a DB game that is made to reflect literal power scaling unlike games like Injustice where they come up with some convoluted reason why Superman shouldn't just vaporize everyone he comes across I don't understand the hard boners for ranked battles. At least I don't understand people getting on and crying about how they can't beat UI Goku with Guldo. Personally I've dunked 90+ hrs in the game and I think it's great. It's also the only one of its kind in this generation. I mean I guess I could give my PS2 mouth to mouth and try out my old copy of BT3 but after playing SZ who in their right mind will say that game gives you the same level of DB gameplay?
Cuz I know no one knows about it it's the short Dash it's where you smash your Fists together and then start blocking various attacks most people only did this on the first day before they learned how to charge Dash
The short Dash is The Clash mechanic where you smash your fists together and then start blocking various attacks most people only did this on the first day until they learned how to charge Dash
I don’t understand how penalties were not a day one patch. If you have bad internet that kicks you out, you should get a hour long ban, giving you enough time to get a damn Ethernet cord. Those who quit should also receive the ban. I agree though, whoever didn’t quit or spark the disconnect should get the win
They should make a system where when u rage quit in 3 games within a week u get matched up only with other rage quiters see who can leave the game the quickest😂
3:46 this has actually been a huge issue for me. I'm in steam and I have yet to play a single match against anyone online, friends or otherwise and it's super annoying. I only ever boot up the game now when my friends are over and I can't even get the multiple map mod for local multiplayer to work.
That last sentence from them "Please help us create a fair playing environment"...I mean sure, but hey Bandai, YOU can also help create a fair playing environment, give the points to the person staying, take away point from the one disconnecting, adjust after image strike and insta spark, unblockables and long vanish wars. They are too innocent to think that just by asking nicely the cheesers and rage quitters will stop, those bums have no honor no morals, gotta rule them with an iron fist.
Ive never had any connection issues on pc, the only problem ive had where i would auto charge my ki without touching my controller until i restarted the game
It would be pretty cool if they brought back ki sickness then it would force players to strategize when to use their insta sparking in a do or die situation I miss that mechanic because there always was the risk of missing the ultimate which I thought was cool also I wish they would give you the rank from the battle if the person disconnects
Whoever said “shouldn’t be a rq penalty for gogeta and ui players” is the literal problem. They know they rage quit and ruin every match. Fusion players love crutching their favs and then rage quitting when they get stomped cause they don’t get plot armor in sparking zero. Fusion players rage quit and don’t rematch if they win. Yall need to learn humility and take that penalty
I dont feel like the game was rushed, i feel like they under looked some things because they thought nostalgia was gonna make us ignore it while they developed the fixes😂
personally i think this game is amazing, i love it, i think in terms of presentation and MOST things in the game they did perfect the game looks amazing and feels good to play. i just wish they actually did more QA on it before the release though because man i swear some stuff i just feel like wasnt fleshed out enough. for a fighting game the training mode is probably the worst one in the genre, they also did the split screen multiplayer dirty for some reason, and just other random stuff i dont think was very well thought out
Good, they are taking the first step to improving the game, but what about disconnecting mid battle? They need to address the random network errors in lobbys and ranked matches.
Well that's how most other games handle it. In Legends for example, if my internet craps out or I exit from the game for whatever reason like a phone call or crash, I get the loss, while my opponent gets the win. That's why this is kinda split among the community lol
@SamuraiCat999 Again, that's just how most games handle it. If you notice the first time that you got DC'd and it was an accident due to an outage, then wait for everything to be stable on your end before going back in. I do this anytime my internet craps out for whatever reason if there is an outage and wait until things are stabilized.
They need to also get feedback for WHY people quit matches, the only ones I quit are the slideshow matches, where they seem to move fine but im frozen. Always seems to also be the people with High connection have the laggiest matches. Do not know if its steam or bandai. Controller input delay, game menus not responding. BTW on Ethernet 800MB down. ryzen 7, 32gb ram, rx 6700xt. Stuck in low B rank bc every match is either a slideshow, or inputs arent working, yet when im playing offline i can super counter, vanish, etc NO PROBLEM......
Communication error is there because of the latest windows update, i used to get communication error all the time but when i reverted back to 23H2, everything got fixed. Consoles dont get communication error because they dont have microsoft windows
i stopped playing online matches cause of people just quitting and i'm glad they are doing that it helps people actually grow. If they want to rank as i hate when i was so close to winning and than they just left the game. But yah they should do what legends either gives us the win or a random AI plays it. Also they need to fix the broly's ki blast spamming. If people wanted other characters to be fixed like yajorobi
Yo SLO, out of topic question, I recently had got back into gaming in my 3DS, I wanted to know something, did you use a modded 3DS to make your recordings.
4:07 I play on PS5, and I still have issues with lots of crashes, and it doesnt make any sense to me because my ps5 is because its more or less brand new. I got it in february for Tekken, and other than that, and now Sparking Zero, I barely touch it, its in a well ventilated spot, and its completely clean. I’ve gotten a couple warnings about disconnecting, and because I know I can just win matches regardless, i’m totally fine with it counting as a loss, but i’d at least like them to address what the issue is so it doesnt keep happening. Tekken, Apex, and Smitr have never crashed for me, so its almost exclusively a SZ issue,
The only thing i dont like about the game is the lock on breaking that some moves do. In BT2 and probably 3 you could press a button and the character would search around or use a scouter to locate and lock onto the opponent. In this game you gotta point the camera at them and hope you point it at them good enough to lock on.
Not sure if Unreal 5 has made an impact on performance from devs. They may have worked on the game in Unreal 4 and then switched to 5. That's what happened to Multiverses. The Alpha was Unreal 4 and the game was great then they had to remake the game in Unreal 5 and there were a lot of issues.
The internet can have issues that are entirely out of our control which can cause a disconnect. So my suggestion is that a player gets x strikes within y timeframe and after that? They get penalized HARD.
Playstation 5 does have an issue. My & I friend would try to join lobby but whenever I invite him It would load & then then say "community error timeout" (With both of us having perfect connection) but when it's random people it fine idk why. PS5 does have some what of an online issue.
I just simply don't understand what's so hard by counting the match officially. Thanks Bandai for giving them a little time out while the whole game was still a waste of time. JUST COUNT THE GAME JESUS CHRIST lol
They need to take a page from DBL and give rewards for rank play and implement a “rank season”also people who disconnect continuously should be banned for 24hrs minimum.
Ok but like what if it's an actual disconnection issue that's not done on purpose? As a player who likes to play the online tournament modes, they often tend to disconnect me and I'm hoping those don't count towards the penalty💀
Imo, if someone disconnects from RANKED match there should be penalty no matter the reason. Only exception would be if the match itself dropped for both of the players for some reason. Other type of online play shouldn't be affected by this rule.
So from now on, when I get into a match on PC and get a “A communication error has occurred.” a few seconds later, kicking me out of the match, I'll get a penalty. Guess I'll never get to play online again because of this issue. Back to offline I guess.
The way they are treating this game right now makes me sad. These updates to fix the game should be 1st priority. No real update in 3 months right after release is a red flag.
Quitters are terrible, but i would appreciate a SURRENDER option. I mean a DP battle can go up to 10 min, if at some point one of the player wants to qui he should have the right to surrender. He loses points and the other one gain points. And everyone can go next happily
Please please push for all of these issues for bleach rebirth of souls before the game drops next year as well! We need a rage quit system day one INDEFINITELY NOW! Dont hold back everyone
I think if it was like. Those that didn't disconnect get xp and some extra points for making someone rage. And the quitter loses half their rank status. I say give it 3 disconnects before they lose their status. Just for those with unfortunate internet. Not everyone can use wire. When I was younger the router was in my parents room and I wasn't allowed to connect a wire from their room to mine. Smallish house but they were on one end of the house and I the other. So very bad connection but I wasn't allowed to have a wire. So others could be in similar situations. But again don't play rank at that point. I didn't play rank modes when I had bad connection
I still have issues on xbox, everytime I play with my friend we disconnect at least 2 times mid match. It works perfectly until it disconnects. So annoying.
I hope they fixed the steam servers. The first time I tried to join an online match. I got kicked before my match started then I decided to just make my own room and I was playing against somebody had my first win and then I was about to win my second match then all of a sudden the game booted me and said it lost connection. I don’t know if they left but I’m almost certain that the servers were having issues as well.
Everybody wants this, but they do not know the danger and frustration of you losing your hard earned points, because you got disconnected because of the server issues. For example, in Hearthstone Battlegrounds, if you leave or get disconnected, you lose the same amount of points as if you were the last place. This happens regulary when the servers are either down or have maintainence time. And thats fine, the servers are under maintainence so dont play while they are under it right? Well, sometimes the game just decides that you are doing too well or whatever the fuck, and it just disconnects you, doesnt let you connect again (most of the times at least before, you just reconnect to the game), takes 90-100 points and its not even your fault. I cannot explain my frustration with words, how many times I was about to hit 5k only to get cucked by the game or its servers or whatever the fuck. So be careful what you wish for.
they don't have to penalize anything gradually, all they have to do is decrease the rage quitter's rank points and give the points to the one who stays connected. I don't understand what's so hard, especially for a team of developers. and what about the communication error on steam, which is entirely bandai fault because they haven't solved this problem until now, which is just unacceptable, they should solve this problem because of this error i can only find an opponent once every 3 minutes . by the way, for those who are offered this communication error on steam, I had windows 11 and I had read on the forums that if you have a version of windows 11 it gives you these errors. I decided to reinstall windows 10 and now I don't get any errors anymore, the problem is that now the 3-minute penalty is still there even if I finish all the matches whether I win or lose.
Starting today, Sparking Zero will be updating their disconnection penalties for people who "rage quit" or disconnect excessively. Let me know your thoughts, opinions, and feedback about the online experience right now in the comments below!

Player match has a thing where if someone quits it will tell you “Opponent has forfeited the match” and you get your XP and money afterwards. They should put that in ranked and make it allow players to get their points
I’ve never seen that, and I only play casual.
@ I don’t get it all the time but I’ve seen it like a handful of times
I heard it exists but it's so rare that I've never seen it and I only play player matches these days
They also need to add you getting the points for the match when they leave. I’ve
missed on around 17 games of it because of people leaving matches
Who do you main bro ?
@@Mysterious.phanto mid z goku, goku black, teen gohan are the main people I use in solo

I love sparking zero
Me too bro though it's good or bad i always love db games afterall we got it after so many years i have no issue i can play it all day
Great game fr, but I hope they can improve the issues.
Me too I love sparking just fix the recovery and the rage quiting problem and we good
@@lilsupaSSR yup
I love the game i completed the game i got every achievement, I've played with friends i played ranked. And the only time I got upset was ranked. Playing with a friend was heart warming, playing the story made me cry from nostalgic memories. Ranked pissed me off so much I don't like toxic environments because honestly I play this game to remember when my life was simpler. I'm not playing to sweat my dragonballs off 😂. I know people who've got 100s of hours and haven't completed the game im at like less than 70 hours of game time and ive done it all every single thing
Bro you cried from a fighting game....
You're nearly at 400K dude!
Gonna try to get there before the year ends! I really appreciate all the support this year from ya'll that regularly come to the content, so thank you!
If I just get their points, they can rq if they want..
For what I read, I read in rank battle mode. People who rage quit in mid game, the opponent that rage quit or disconnected from mid game, Will Lose A Rank..!!! After 3 in-game, disconnection, your gameplay will be reviewed & monitored, and if evidence shown you are disconnecting from a losing game after 3 disconnects, you will be suspended from rank mode.
Which I believe this is a fair disciplinary action.! Why? Is it fair? Because we rank players work very hard to earn our stripes and those people who are just backing out of midgame fighting, get very annoying!! Especially just so they don't lose ranking. WELL Guess what? Now? You will automatically lose a ranking for rage quitting. On mid game fight, it's also on ranking mode and tournament modes.!!!
But in all honesty, this should have happened from day one.
Xenoverse needs some of this or something like this for more notorious folks.
They also definitely need a concede option as well so if I get matched with a spammer I can easily concede and fight someone else instead of having to wait 5 minutes afk waiting for them to be at me
Just get better bro most spammers not really good it’s easier in solos, dp battle gets tricky but should add ki sickness back most people can’t box fr.

Good but I’d imagine based on connection issues it’ll be difficult or impossible to determine.
This is awesome 🎉
Ppl who shit on them trying to fix the game are just annoying. Like damn they don’t know what they want at point
They should not have held ANY tournament's knowing the state their game is in right now above all. Theres so many bad z ranks who are only there because they quit more than they brush their teeth and all while playing a 7,8 dp character in single battle. The commentators didnt know what they were talking about during the tournament and the players that didnt deserve to be up there made the gameplay just look mediocre. You want the best to show off your game not someone who knows how to press square with gogeta sprinkled with a few triangles and pull a 15k combo unfinished. You gotta choose if you want your game to be easy to mash or something that will bring in an audience along with constant money flow with the competitive scene. Dont let trash players represent your game
Think that’s what the competition is for.. so skilled players can actually show the potential of the game… most of the player base complains about things needing nerf because of cheese etc.. but i don’t think anything g needs to be nerfed because i find people that cheese to be easy.. the only thing they do is rage quit when they get beat lol
One of the things I wrote in the survey was the rage quit ranked situation. The funny thing is, the people I found to rage quit the fastest were the players that use the Gogeta's, and UI Goku. Its like, come on, using the most powerful characters but once they lose 2 or 3 bars of health they just have to quit because they are losing. Its like at least attempt to clutch up cause there's a chance you can come back and win the fight, especially with those characters. IDK maybe they just didn't have the high enough skill to come back and that's why they are relying on the top top tier characters.
I think one of the best matches of 3 I had was when someone was using Android 16. I would say 16 isn't in the high strong tier or top op tier of character, this player was just good and was able to use 16 and the game mechanics accordingly. The end of each 3 rounds we both had a few less than half the last bar of health remaining. Wanted to rematch quick, fumbled up and didn't hit square to save the one match I lost which sucked. I don't care about the loss, care more about not having that match saved in the log with the two I won. All three were close.
FINALLY!! thank god now people can take there ass whooping 😂

To anyone saying that it should be a one time and you’re penalized I don’t think you’re thinking clearly. This would affect people who have their power randomly go out (probably worded that weirdly) or have bad Wi-Fi connection.
Fantastic news, so glad to hear this.
I feel like after a while only the Vegito and Z Broly players are gonna be happy with this. They could’ve just given the disconnected player the loss and given the player that stayed the win. Plenty of people just don’t wanna deal with Vegito’s Afterimage Strike or Broly’s spark into ki blast and unblockable. Then there’s Wheelo who apparently has some form of cheese from what I hear. I’m not the biggest fan of rage quitters (outside of the satisfaction of beating them while they’re cheesing) but this doesn’t feel like a very good way to fix the game’s ranked which already isn’t healthy at all
I literally just started the video but smth I think they should do is when you rage quit like 3 times in a row your rank goes down or they could do what they do in dbxv2 and stop you from being able to play online if you continually rage quit (at least that’s what I think the red name means)
Pretty sure red names are just a mark of shame. I don’t think they have an actual penalty with them but the playerbase knows people with red names are clowns.
Alot of people rage quit before their life hits zero
I have been disconnected while doing a comeback combo off of fighting games
Never have i been disconnected during their ultimate on a kill.. even when its been laggy all game, studdering
It is fairly easy to detect when a match is left
This is a good start but I also hope they improve the games performance along with it. There's been a few of times where I'm throwing hands online, even winning, then the game crashes and when I boot it back up it wags its finger at me.
What if the game freezes and you're forced to quit it? It has happened to me twice on PC with online.
Rage Quiters are wild 😂
They will always be in any gaming community 💀
@@SLOplays they need maximum punishment
It’s ashame they haven’t added anything substantial to the game there’s still no reason to get back in rn
The cycle continues:
- S0 has a rage quit problem -> game is bad
- S0 fixes the rage quit problem -> game is bad
Dragon Ball fans hate Dragon Ball like Nintendo hates their fans
A better solution is just when the person disconnects you fight a bot instead🤷♂️ makes it funny aswell because then we get people angry because they lost against a bot 😮💨
not a bad idea tbh
Xenoverse does this to an extent
For the past like week or 2 I’ve had good connection to normal battles but still trouble with ranked
I think they should have their rank reset that's the only way to deter them so much so that they never come back to ranked until they grow up. Also, for people who get disconnected because of their internet, they shouldn't be in ranked in the first place so reset their rank too.
Thank god devs don't listen to everyone in the community.
I agree with everything here. But they should also give the player that didn't leave the match their points.
@@rayvonvelez3129 Yes I didn't add that because they already said it in the vid but it only makes sense, and after 2 resets they're perma banned from ranked. More money for the devs if they buy another copy and everybody's happy.
Love this game, but sometimes I get whooped so hard I know it's over and I just want to move on. Let me forfeit.
And Finally same people Got the punish
I acknowledge that there are a few issues, but honestly, this game is so good! I've been enjoying playing a DBZ game after 17 years.

Let’s go
Not sure how people say dead game, the game just started to really pick up for me with all the mods lol
They’re comparing the playerbase from launch to the current playerbase. Losing 80% or so of your playerbase within a month is definitely not a good sign and I’m honestly not sure the majority of them left because of ranked players rage quitting.
@@Zeral__ On steam It's already a lot more than 80% unfortunately. From 120k peak to 7k players a day. I don't know about other platforms but I doubt it's any better. That's around 94%
@@Zeral__it just doesn't have staying power for content honestly, like I dig what's there but the amount is what's lacking. It's a really quick game to play through compared to other db games.
@@justanothercommentercarryo8367 yeah. My biggest complaint is how similar the characters feel to play. There’s not as much that separates the characters like in other games outside of just how much damage Gogeta does or how Broly has armor. You’re pressing the same buttons for the same combos with a super or ult that just plays itself out. With Xenoverse and Fighterz the supers, specials, and even a lot of the ultimates had some form of utility and felt different from each other and don’t even get me started on the normals. Neutral felt like a different game depending on who you played but with SZ, neutral feels the same for nearly every character. When I kept hearing fans chanting that this game was peak and that it was gonna be the game to put XV2 in the trashcan, I was expecting at least 100 characters that felt different but now only certain characters have certain advantages. It’s not even variety. It’s just flat out advantage.
Steam numbers. X
Need a 2v2 co-op mode!!!
People saying “too late, the players are gone” makes no sense. That is deadass like giving a starving child some food and they say “too late, Im already starving.” Like don’t you think once they release more patches and content players will come back???
I believe for the disconnecting, the one who left should get the lose and penalties, like being suspended after a certain number of quits and I say this so people don't start wintrading like this. And then the one who stayed just get the win. Honestly I wouldn't really mind if people could quit as they please when they realize is not possible to win for them, it would help everyone, the one who stayed gets the points in rank and nobody waste time, but we need to think on this in a way that wintrading doesn't become a thing.
2:28 as a french person it made me rlly laugh to see that reply
😂😭💀
D1 haters
People commenting dead game or stuff in regards to the declining playerbase have zero insight, this literally happens to every game.. This game came out, everybody were playing and streaming left and right, one of the few games in the franchise that hit the mainstream, what we see now is basically everybody who weren't a fan hopping over to other stuff.
The game has more players on steam than tekken 8, and about the same numbers as SF6... That is still impressive...
I'm running off fiber with a high end router, directly connected via ethernet cable, and I CONSTANTLY get communication errors on steam. I'm 95% sure shit's totally fucked on the pc side... but I'm really hoping that patch fixes the PC situation.
As a steam player, I have never had any connection issues. The only issue I have ever ran into is rarely when the opponent doesn't have recommended specs the match will lag and it's pretty irritating but not the end of the world, just finish the match and look for another room. Also as a DB game that is made to reflect literal power scaling unlike games like Injustice where they come up with some convoluted reason why Superman shouldn't just vaporize everyone he comes across I don't understand the hard boners for ranked battles. At least I don't understand people getting on and crying about how they can't beat UI Goku with Guldo. Personally I've dunked 90+ hrs in the game and I think it's great. It's also the only one of its kind in this generation. I mean I guess I could give my PS2 mouth to mouth and try out my old copy of BT3 but after playing SZ who in their right mind will say that game gives you the same level of DB gameplay?
I’m FINALLY FIRST!!
Thanks for the upload legend 😂🔥👑
Sadly, you aren’t first
Typing a sentence takes enough time for others to actually comment first
@ I am truly awakened by this bs, 😌 I commend you
u aint first lil bro
I have wired 2GB connection on PS5 and rarely have disconnects. RQ is outrageously bad especially in A+ Ranks.
I think they should repurpose the short Dash Clash mechanic to occur after so many vanishes and in the damn stupid Vantage Wars
Cuz I know no one knows about it it's the short Dash it's where you smash your Fists together and then start blocking various attacks most people only did this on the first day before they learned how to charge Dash
The short Dash is The Clash mechanic where you smash your fists together and then start blocking various attacks most people only did this on the first day until they learned how to charge Dash
I don’t understand how penalties were not a day one patch. If you have bad internet that kicks you out, you should get a hour long ban, giving you enough time to get a damn Ethernet cord. Those who quit should also receive the ban. I agree though, whoever didn’t quit or spark the disconnect should get the win
They gotta fix the serves on the steam decks man
FINALLY
They should make a system where when u rage quit in 3 games within a week u get matched up only with other rage quiters see who can leave the game the quickest😂
Like gta

We need new costumes and stages lmao

@@Jaron008 😂
3:46 this has actually been a huge issue for me. I'm in steam and I have yet to play a single match against anyone online, friends or otherwise and it's super annoying. I only ever boot up the game now when my friends are over and I can't even get the multiple map mod for local multiplayer to work.
That last sentence from them "Please help us create a fair playing environment"...I mean sure, but hey Bandai, YOU can also help create a fair playing environment, give the points to the person staying, take away point from the one disconnecting, adjust after image strike and insta spark, unblockables and long vanish wars.
They are too innocent to think that just by asking nicely the cheesers and rage quitters will stop, those bums have no honor no morals, gotta rule them with an iron fist.
Ive never had any connection issues on pc, the only problem ive had where i would auto charge my ki without touching my controller until i restarted the game
The only time I disconnect is if it’s a mirror match . I disconnect before the match actually starts
They just have to designate the one who is still connected as a winner, that way it won’t be a waste of time nor a frustration when someone rage quit
It would be pretty cool if they brought back ki sickness then it would force players to strategize when to use their insta sparking in a do or die situation I miss that mechanic because there always was the risk of missing the ultimate which I thought was cool also I wish they would give you the rank from the battle if the person disconnects
Slo are you going to showcase the Ultra Ego Mod?
I'm waiting for it to get more polished.
Yes the "communication error" is still there it's terrible I can not run a single dp match all the way through without it popping up
Whoever said “shouldn’t be a rq penalty for gogeta and ui players” is the literal problem. They know they rage quit and ruin every match. Fusion players love crutching their favs and then rage quitting when they get stomped cause they don’t get plot armor in sparking zero. Fusion players rage quit and don’t rematch if they win. Yall need to learn humility and take that penalty
hope we will get new cosmetics with this update too
I dont feel like the game was rushed, i feel like they under looked some things because they thought nostalgia was gonna make us ignore it while they developed the fixes😂
personally i think this game is amazing, i love it, i think in terms of presentation and MOST things in the game they did perfect the game looks amazing and feels good to play. i just wish they actually did more QA on it before the release though because man i swear some stuff i just feel like wasnt fleshed out enough. for a fighting game the training mode is probably the worst one in the genre, they also did the split screen multiplayer dirty for some reason, and just other random stuff i dont think was very well thought out
Good, they are taking the first step to improving the game, but what about disconnecting mid battle? They need to address the random network errors in lobbys and ranked matches.
Why should there be a penalty for people to get disconnected from the internet or the power go out?
Well that's how most other games handle it. In Legends for example, if my internet craps out or I exit from the game for whatever reason like a phone call or crash, I get the loss, while my opponent gets the win. That's why this is kinda split among the community lol
I understand if your internet is crapy or you disconnect it yourself, but what I don't understand is what is not under your control.
@SamuraiCat999 Again, that's just how most games handle it. If you notice the first time that you got DC'd and it was an accident due to an outage, then wait for everything to be stable on your end before going back in. I do this anytime my internet craps out for whatever reason if there is an outage and wait until things are stabilized.
They need to also get feedback for WHY people quit matches, the only ones I quit are the slideshow matches, where they seem to move fine but im frozen. Always seems to also be the people with High connection have the laggiest matches. Do not know if its steam or bandai. Controller input delay, game menus not responding. BTW on Ethernet 800MB down. ryzen 7, 32gb ram, rx 6700xt. Stuck in low B rank bc every match is either a slideshow, or inputs arent working, yet when im playing offline i can super counter, vanish, etc NO PROBLEM......
How can they, tell if it is an internet connection, from you rage quitting.
Communication error is there because of the latest windows update, i used to get communication error all the time but when i reverted back to 23H2, everything got fixed. Consoles dont get communication error because they dont have microsoft windows
Nice
i stopped playing online matches cause of people just quitting and i'm glad they are doing that it helps people actually grow. If they want to rank as i hate when i was so close to winning and than they just left the game. But yah they should do what legends either gives us the win or a random AI plays it. Also they need to fix the broly's ki blast spamming. If people wanted other characters to be fixed like yajorobi
Yo SLO, out of topic question, I recently had got back into gaming in my 3DS, I wanted to know something, did you use a modded 3DS to make your recordings.
4:07 I play on PS5, and I still have issues with lots of crashes, and it doesnt make any sense to me because my ps5 is because its more or less brand new. I got it in february for Tekken, and other than that, and now Sparking Zero, I barely touch it, its in a well ventilated spot, and its completely clean. I’ve gotten a couple warnings about disconnecting, and because I know I can just win matches regardless, i’m totally fine with it counting as a loss, but i’d at least like them to address what the issue is so it doesnt keep happening. Tekken, Apex, and Smitr have never crashed for me, so its almost exclusively a SZ issue,
The only thing i dont like about the game is the lock on breaking that some moves do. In BT2 and probably 3 you could press a button and the character would search around or use a scouter to locate and lock onto the opponent. In this game you gotta point the camera at them and hope you point it at them good enough to lock on.
Not sure if Unreal 5 has made an impact on performance from devs. They may have worked on the game in Unreal 4 and then switched to 5. That's what happened to Multiverses. The Alpha was Unreal 4 and the game was great then they had to remake the game in Unreal 5 and there were a lot of issues.
Nothing on my save data that keeps getting deleted though? Who cares then? Idc about someone rage quitting
4:50 haven’t had any issues at all. What are people saying the problems are?
Just depends tbh, I hear most people having issues on Steam while console isn't as bad or has no issues for the most part.
The internet can have issues that are entirely out of our control which can cause a disconnect. So my suggestion is that a player gets x strikes within y timeframe and after that? They get penalized HARD.
Playstation 5 does have an issue. My & I friend would try to join lobby but whenever I invite him It would load & then then say "community error timeout" (With both of us having perfect connection) but when it's random people it fine idk why. PS5 does have some what of an online issue.
I just simply don't understand what's so hard by counting the match officially.
Thanks Bandai for giving them a little time out while the whole game was still a waste of time.
JUST COUNT THE GAME JESUS CHRIST lol
They need to take a page from DBL and give rewards for rank play and implement a “rank season”also people who disconnect continuously should be banned for 24hrs minimum.
Ginyu force:
Ou goal is to make as many Gogeta spammers rage quit
Either they quit, or they adapt
Ok but like what if it's an actual disconnection issue that's not done on purpose? As a player who likes to play the online tournament modes, they often tend to disconnect me and I'm hoping those don't count towards the penalty💀
Imo, if someone disconnects from RANKED match there should be penalty no matter the reason. Only exception would be if the match itself dropped for both of the players for some reason. Other type of online play shouldn't be affected by this rule.
Bad internet connection shouldn't count, like what if it's storming or raining
So from now on, when I get into a match on PC and get a “A communication error has occurred.” a few seconds later, kicking me out of the match, I'll get a penalty.
Guess I'll never get to play online again because of this issue. Back to offline I guess.
good finally i can go back in ranked now
The way they are treating this game right now makes me sad. These updates to fix the game should be 1st priority. No real update in 3 months right after release is a red flag.
Im not playing ranked until this is fixed. If they disconnect/ quit; we should get the points- AND that player should get a rank penalty.
They need to do it like the latest Naruto game, if you leave a certain amount of matches you can’t play ranked anymore
Quitters are terrible, but i would appreciate a SURRENDER option. I mean a DP battle can go up to 10 min, if at some point one of the player wants to qui he should have the right to surrender. He loses points and the other one gain points. And everyone can go next happily
Yeah bro a forfeit option would be nice
Bro it took 6 years how have they been rushed they had loads of times
By players yet there's little feedback
Please please push for all of these issues for bleach rebirth of souls before the game drops next year as well!
We need a rage quit system day one INDEFINITELY NOW!
Dont hold back everyone
I think if it was like. Those that didn't disconnect get xp and some extra points for making someone rage. And the quitter loses half their rank status. I say give it 3 disconnects before they lose their status. Just for those with unfortunate internet. Not everyone can use wire. When I was younger the router was in my parents room and I wasn't allowed to connect a wire from their room to mine. Smallish house but they were on one end of the house and I the other. So very bad connection but I wasn't allowed to have a wire. So others could be in similar situations. But again don't play rank at that point. I didn't play rank modes when I had bad connection
I still have issues on xbox, everytime I play with my friend we disconnect at least 2 times mid match. It works perfectly until it disconnects. So annoying.
I hope they fixed the steam servers. The first time I tried to join an online match. I got kicked before my match started then I decided to just make my own room and I was playing against somebody had my first win and then I was about to win my second match then all of a sudden the game booted me and said it lost connection. I don’t know if they left but I’m almost certain that the servers were having issues as well.
Everybody wants this, but they do not know the danger and frustration of you losing your hard earned points, because you got disconnected because of the server issues.
For example, in Hearthstone Battlegrounds, if you leave or get disconnected, you lose the same amount of points as if you were the last place. This happens regulary when the servers are either down or have maintainence time. And thats fine, the servers are under maintainence so dont play while they are under it right? Well, sometimes the game just decides that you are doing too well or whatever the fuck, and it just disconnects you, doesnt let you connect again (most of the times at least before, you just reconnect to the game), takes 90-100 points and its not even your fault. I cannot explain my frustration with words, how many times I was about to hit 5k only to get cucked by the game or its servers or whatever the fuck.
So be careful what you wish for.
Slo can you Pls Play Dragonball Nexus itsss sooo good
they don't have to penalize anything gradually, all they have to do is decrease the rage quitter's rank points and give the points to the one who stays connected. I don't understand what's so hard, especially for a team of developers.
and what about the communication error on steam, which is entirely bandai fault because they haven't solved this problem until now, which is just unacceptable, they should solve this problem because of this error i can only find an opponent once every 3 minutes .
by the way, for those who are offered this communication error on steam, I had windows 11 and I had read on the forums that if you have a version of windows 11 it gives you these errors. I decided to reinstall windows 10 and now I don't get any errors anymore, the problem is that now the 3-minute penalty is still there even if I finish all the matches whether I win or lose.
