This is in addition to Raditz' update-peak for the upcoming stuff like the extention of CC floor 120 which you can read about here: http://dbocom.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29019

Approximately 1 month ago I wrote a long list of my ideas and suggestions for NTL to chew on. It seemed to have borne fruit, not only with Raditz' CC floor extention, but also with an idea of my own -seems like they are actually listening.

Briefly translated and summed up:
(Credits goes to SuperAxe2X for the actual accruate translation)

Long have our Mini pets blindly and mindlessly followed us around on various journeys, but no more!
In the update coming soon on KR will star a whole new pet system, which allows your companion to actually gain levels, new abilities and evolve into the next stage.

The full details haven't been revealed yet, but my suggestion for NTL was to have the oppotunity for our pets to cross-player battle the opposing players pet in a Turn-based fashion. (Yes, Pokemon did inspire my idea, and yes, I did suggest it rather quickly after World of Warcraft had a similar system added to their Pet system)
To sum up, it seems very likely that they are listening to the communities ideas, and in this case mine, leading to an in-game pokemon styled pet battle adventure :-)

Thats pretty cool, I always thought that maybe the pets would evolve because some of them have no faces or arms. Like the plants or robot pets.

That's great to hear..now I just wish TW would catch up. So to speak.

Cool. I have to say DBO is getting better and better. Till now it was only a simple & ordinary mmorpg with DBZ looks. Can't wait to level my pet i hope it will help me get rich *_*

Beautiful, good to know NTL is wasting their time trying to make this game more like Pokemon instead of like DBZ.

Yep, you said it.


This would be crap. Pet battle system? There should be adding in flight combat, dodging attacks etc. A pet battle system would just be a waste of time and if they keep on going down the road they are going down i'm going to play a better MMO like PSO2 next year.

PSO2 isn't that much better. lol It's great in the beginning, but once you get around level 30, it becomes extremely grindy.

yay fighting pets just what a db game needs, they need to realise that the average age of players is around 19years old i would say , no1 wants these childish updates, my god this is why the game wont be around in 4 years

Your talking to me, the guy who played the original PSO offline for over 400 hours lmao. Grinding was all I did but I'm use to it when it comes to PSO. DBO should learn incorporate other aspects from mmos, but putting in a pet battling system I don't think will work well and is the wrong thing they should implement. A game like DBO should have a better combat system.

Sad to hear so many people hating my idea.. What I can say, if it isn't a won goal for actual new upcoming stuff, then take it as a goal for the communications between the DBO developers and the actual communitiy. What can I say, atleast I give them ideas to work with unless you guys :-)
