Let's be honest, the reason this update happened was because Dimps watched the shadow dragon raids and noticed how badly they got cooked, so this update is their "little bit extra"
@@dragnbreath1 I was looking back and forth to make sure the “COM” was on Vegeta’s name tag. I was like are you sure this isn’t a player? And to make matters worse, if you play well enough, he’ll ki stun you occasionally. I hope they make all the CPU like that cause it was pretty fun to fight against. Even if he nearly perfect blocked every hit I did.
As a PvE focused player, I had a lot of fun in cross versus. It is not your typical PvP mode, but it is a PvP mode where you compete about who can PvE better. Edit: Watching so many raids of the three idiots I forgot about Deiota and Rhymeza. And probably Doto's CaC with Yamcha hair. It all started with Cell Max.
Something I think they should do is obviously make beating the boss the only end goal. You still need to collect enough points to unlock the Boss area, but once the boss area is unlocked everything in the mission area is now repurposed. Destroying certain crystals will strengthen the enemy boss to make it more challenging for your opponents or apply debuffs to your boss to make your team’s life easier. Maybe there could be certain crystals to buff invaders. The whole point of Cross Versus is so everyone of all skill levels can equally contribute because not everyone is as good at fighting as everyone else. And this idea will keep the Mission Area relevant during the boss fight and allow those lesser skilled players to still contribute in a big way
I think one of the interesting details of this mode is that when the boss shows, you can actually see if they're fighting the boss or not by the little health bar under the team points, good detail imo.
Yeah this mode needs to make fighting the boss a priority. Maybe an increased point count or something... because we already know that when these Festival Events go down, everyone and their mother is becoming Chris Redfield.
A good way to get people to not just farm rocks is to also make boss fights something you need to do rather than just farming rocks Like the boss fights being optional is such a weird choice if you don't need to fight them
This new game mode has tons of potential. The main issue is exactly what you guys already said, people will stay in the main area farming crystals and bots. They should make it so you only collect points until the boss appears, then the points stop and the only way to win is by defeating the bosses.
Damn its weird seeing Seereax with the ponytail + no beard and Rhyme using frieza race 😂 (i was so used to seeing them using their CAC from the Levi mods 😂)
Looks like a cool mode and looking forward to trying it out. I think they need to figure out a way to revive Expert Missions as well. I know there are some similarities to raids, but they should revive them with new unique skills you can get.
I think they made you be able to collect points and win by crystals was their way of making sure people that are bad at the game can still contribute and win but I think they need to find another way And/or they should add a system to where if your the only team in your own boss area you should passively gain 5-10 points every second and the passive gain would go away if neither team or both teams are in their boss area
This game mode is actually pretty dope. Pretty different concept and a refresher to play instead of just PvPs, PQs, Online PQs, Events, Raid, and all. They should add different types of modes like this. That would be always a refresher and makes this game much better. I'm glad because the devs actually put in work into this big update that is actually hype. Can't wait to see how this game will evolve more in the future. 💯
@MechaShredZilla Either way I think I'll still enjoy it even after a while. Lol But yeah the update is pretty decent, definitely more than we normally get for the past few updates.
So i think what i learned is collecting the items on the floor and when you finished with everything hit the crystals to gain more points. As new enemies comes the more points you have. I also noticed at times they let you use your ultimate attack on them. I think also having your CAC to the new max level does help to to do this faster.
i think the point cap should be increased to like 20,000 or so, and they should make it so crystal and saibamen points cap out at 10,000. so once you hit the 10,000 mark you either have to kill players for points or kill your boss to win
If it was up to me, I'd make it so that fighting the boss would give like, twice as many points as anything else. Also, let's all take a shot for Rhyme not knowing how to lock on- Edit: Okay, I commented when I hadn't played it yet. Had no WiFi. It's a super addicting mode and I love it.
I like this game mode so far, AI likes jumping you a little too hard sometimes imo but otherwise good. Bomber DX is definitely the meta for those crystals tho.
Once you hit level 2 or 3 Bomber DX ends up being like 1 bar and a nut tap away from breaking, that thing is cracked Super ki explosion also probably goes crazy against those saibamen/cell jrs
at this point, its kinda weird seeing actually balanced xenoverse enemies and not the modded mobs that either take half health with one lucky punch or insta-kill with a surprise explosive wave ultimate
I hope this new raid system is cracked soon so it can be modded into Three idiots style raids with these mechanics, not the collecting points to win part, but the Leveling up and randomly gaining Skills to fight busted bosses later on.
Being mainly a PvE player in X2, I like how you're given different options on how to play this. Its designed for players on both sides of the spectrum and I haven't had this much fun since Crystal Raids was first introduced. The boss fights are the best parts to me too minus having to fight a player (I don't enjoy the PvP experience much unless its with friends) but I also have no issue with collecting points and fighting AI that gradually get tougher. By the way Rhyme, the small crystals that give you 10 points are also 10 in quantity too. They're usually set up in a pattern that's easy to follow so if manage to collect all 10 by yourself, you'll net 300 points and if an ally manages to take even one of them, it'll be reduced to 150 points.
I think this honestly has legs, first is the obvious if get rid of the giant forms, second up the points needed to 15000/18000 so that if someone does want to win on points it’s a legitimate grind instead of the easier option, then 3 variation, keep little but noticeable changes for character customisation and enemies
Ayo? Game mode is MADE for yall and I'm here all DAY for it! Never thought I'd be comparing dragonball and destiny but damn the concept really do be the same lol
Changes I would make to cross versus: -Force players to boss arena -Boss needs to be killed twice for a win -Cannot bring supers instead start with game developer preset super attack skills sets -Skill supers now drop -Client or team side skill drops on all maps color coded to Ultimate/Super attack slots -More time -30 Seconds before first boss spawns to give skill salvage time -All players do not get points from PvP until the current area boss has respawned. -Crystals give 120 points -Lower the max level to 3 but start ki bar out full and at 5 ki -Have levels unlock better Supers/Ultimate Drops -Put Crystals in Boss arena and only have the boss attacking team be able to target them Also force new dialogue options to: "I got this" "I need help" "I need help in another area" "I need an Ultimate" "Guard the boss" "Attack the boss" "Attack the players" "Trade opponents"
I played for like 4 hrs on this mode straight and I have to say it's incredible. Never has the Boss AI been this good he can stamina break and combo to ult it's great.
Alright, alright, alright, let's see who we're fighting today! Saibamen! Don't get grabbed! What's wrong, Time Patroller? You thought that just because you were in a different setting that there wouldn't be motes to grab? Well you're dead wrong. Instant Transmission firing!
I hope the AI eventually gets an intelligence boost over all. we've seen that they can do it officially here. and we've seen that modders can outright make the AI use their Awoken Skills as well. so here's hoping since Xenoverse 3 is ***definitely*** not happening they can at least keep making more substantial changes like this update gave us so we can make this game as great as it can be. cause Xenoverse 2 has still ever lived up to even HALF of it's potential, and yes I *am* taking the fact that it's made from an engine from 2008 into account when I say that.
You and Deion probably know this by now but if you go to your play data you can change the pose you can do in this mode. Love the content throughout the years BTW, much love to all the homies! 🙏
In Destiny the final boss spawns after you reach the score limit and you win by killing the final boss. If this gamemode did that then it would be so much better.
I think they gotta raise the point count to dang near 20k in order to actually incentivize fighting the boss over farming points. Which would also probably require more time. Also Rhyme actually saw all the comments about it bein like Gambit.
I think after the boss spawns in points should reduce by half. But would also be problem is the boss is giant because fighting giant boss would get tiring and repetitive.
Destiny did it right with their gambit game mode. Build up to a final boss and try to truck it down before the enemy team and you can go to their side to slow them down. They should do something more along those lines with this game mode
One way they could fix the point issue is making crystal destruction fill up a bar, which when filled opens the boss room. Then, which teams kills their boss first, wins.
For anyone who is playing this mode, If you want to change your Intro emote & win emote go to play data -> cross versus and select your emotes for the intro/win.
i definitely think its a good game mode it needs some work on it. I agree with seereax's thoughts to not have the points be the win but if its not a win with points make it some type of boost of some kind. Also another note the applejack guy kinda looking like seereax's cac made me laugh a little.
i have a Cell Max CAC and I realized with the build I have it's perfect for Cross Versus. There's multiple enemies, and you respawn, so combine that with the Namekian buffs + stamina based build, you get an absolute monster of a CAC
This is exactly like Superhuman Battlefield. Almost a complete replica. That’s so awesome!! I do think that you shouldn’t win by grinding. You should be able to grind all of the points, win conditions should be either beating your boss or defeating the opposing team. That would be perfect! Btw everyone should read superhuman battlefield to see what il talking about. It’s a great Manhwa
Maybe they should do something like the crystals heal the boss as the fight goes on, giving incentive to destroy the crystals. That way you can't win just by destroying the crystals but you're still incentived to do so
It's better than any of the other modes they have ever introduced. BUT, at the same time... this mode is also a catch all. So it can't please everyone. Once they fine tune it, it'll lose its appeal to everyone. For example, if they make it so you have to defeat the boss: then you're forcing PvP. And people won't play this mode for PvP. Some people like this mode because you can avoid other players altogether. At the same time: if you lean any further into the competition/point grinding aspect of it, you'll lose the players who want to PvP. I like the mode how it is and it's a great idea. But it's also on a knife's edge. Any way they tweak the mode, could ruin it for a decent size chunk of the players. Maybe they go and tweak it after the player base drops back to normal. That way, they tweak it for the long term players of the game.
i feel like what they need to do is make it more like gambit honestly. In d2 the way it works is you have to fill the bar up all the way (100 points. killing enemies drops motes, more motes for higher tiered combatants you then bank those motes and drop blockers on the enemy teams bank in there map/world) once your team has 100 points you summon the boss and from there you win or lose in a race to kill the boss.
I like the idea of points because if you are losing on points you can fuck up the boss and the big boss isn't that big of a deal as long as you use the right unts
honestly when i saw the rules, i thought this shit was almost gonna be like a parallel quest where you go through several areas fighting enemies and getting points until you get to the final area with the boss, i do like what we have though
i think you should have to get to 12k in order to even spawn the boss. just like gambit in destiny and invading should be timed till the boss spawns. well maybe not timed but definitely limited
So i feel like if they cap the points that can be made, and make it to where someone HAS to beat their boss to finish, that'd be perfect. But i can see that taking a long time, so maybe they just make it to where the points don't end the game, but after the time limit runs out, if both bosses are still up, then the team with the most points win. That makes it to where one person should be fighting the boss, one person gate keeps, and the other person can do rocks, help with boss or help with gate keeping.
to add onto this, 2 people fight boss one person gate keeps on both teams. you stalemate each other, now you have to think, one person backs out and grinds out points while the others fight boss. but you're put into a pickle there, that makes it more likely someone will kill the boss while you're farming points, cuz it's effectively 3v2. Or maybe you're still being stalemated so someone needs to do rocks on both teams. A constantly rotation of trying to find the most effective way to win.
If you made this mode where the points allow your team to fight the boss sounds alot more fun to me then the points matter but its just a race to see who can beat the boss first
You can change your stance in the loading and the win screen lose in your character info screen the same as changing your nickname you get a bunch for free
The way it works for teams is I the first player and 3rd player and 5th player will be on one team and 2nd 4th and 6th player are on the other team that's how u cheese the team set up
I just want them to go wild. I feel like they play it way to damn safe on these updates. They should give us more what-if characters, like what they had in the Raging Blast games. Hell, even pull from DBH. Ssj4 Gohan, adult Gotenks, Golden Cooler, etc. They need to do more out of the box updates.
Bomb ki blast the crystals Use your scouter to search for the orange materials Also the ai jumps one person a lot so every now and then check on your teammates if you haven't been fighting any ai or your points arent going up like it used to
The mode is fun, I really wish they would make it so the Boss is mandatory for a Win. It makes half the mode pointless as interfering with the enemy team's bossfight is definitely one of the most hectic and EXCITING parts that I rarely get to do because... well no one fights the boss. Crystal/Racing are the best source of points and there's no incentive to move on to other activities if you can just win purely off PvE with one person aggro-ing and stalling the ai. Giants are ezpz to take out if you bring moves like Spirit Bomb and Bending Kamehameha which can drain their stamina and do good burst damage respectively. Its fun to see them used again, imo. Vegeta (not-Ape'd) on the other hand has rocked my shit more than any other boss, I don't know what it is but he flips a switch and goes HAM. All in all Cross Versus has singlehandedly revived interest in XV2 for my friends and I and we're having a great time!
This mode and the new pre-mission lobby system feels like a perfect representation of Dimps' super weird method of supporting this game. The features they add aren't necessarily bad. They can actually be pretty fun. But compared to all the features people REALLY want and that they definitely know about, it just kinda makes you scratch your head and ask "Okay, great. But...Why?" lmao
To be honest freezer race ultra instinct is clean AF I am not gonna lie yes the pose and everything just the way the key looks 10 out of 10 the university very good job with ultra instinct and beast
Well this is a neat idea I will give them. The idea that experience isn't how you win but experience + strategy. A good step in the right direction I think. I might actually have to not delete Xenoverse 2 and try it out.
