GAMEPLAY
Gameplay
As with other MMORPGs, players control a character avatar within a persistent game world, where they will be able to explore the landscape, search for the Dragon Balls, train to compete in the Tenkaichi Budokai, aspire to become like the warriors of legend, as well as interacting with NPCs and other players. As in most MMORPGs, players will be able to obtain money and experience which will allow them to level up and obtain new abilities. Players will also be able to participate in "Timemachine Quests", in which they will receive guidance from Time Patrol Trunks (タイ� ・パトロール・トランクス Taimu Patorōru Torankusu), in order to travel back in time and take part in notable aspects of the Dragon Ball history.[7] To date, three playable races have been announced: Humans, Namekians, and the new Majin race. There are currently two core classes, one pertaining to physical damage while the other either to spiritual damage or a supportive caste, for each race. And for each core class, there are two optional master classes that give players access to stronger skills and weapons; making a total of 6 core classes and 12 master classes. Like in the manga, these races are capable of obtaining and undergoing transformations that grant them drastic increases in power; however, these transformations are obtainable only through reaching the required level of skill and wishing for them after acquiring the Dragonballs. Players will be able to revisit detailed models of locations from the original Dragonball manga, including Korin Tower, Kame House, Fire Mountain, and West City. As in other MMORPGs, players will be able to interact with other NPCs; some characters being new and exclusive to the game, and others from the manga itself. Players will also have access to a range of weapons and items, some of which are exclusive to Dragon Ball Online. Scouters are a very common combat-related tool, which like in the Dragon Ball franchise, allows the user to read the power level of enemies. Furthermore, players can examine the power levels of other players and non-combatant NPCs.
