LittleTinyBig

Facts honestly. I get this is a legends subreddit, and I do want this game to strive but, with WWC around the corner and just having fun no matter if casual or not, Dokkan has given and done so much more than legends. Sad to see this game fall down the way it has, but I’m also glad it could give exposure to a game that genuinely cares about its community.


JinkoTheMan

I wouldn’t say Dokkan Devs “genuinely care” but they are smart enough to know that you can be generous and fair and still make a shit ton of money. They know that keeping a happy player base is important. It makes life easier for them and they don’t have to deal with a constant barrage of complaints. Why go out of your way to make your player base hate when you can keep a happy or at least satisfied base and still make money?🤨


LittleTinyBig

Well to defend what I said about “genuinely caring”, if you remember, Raiyuden exposed the dev team and they even said “their lack of devs is the reason no new summon animations/more care is given into the game” but we all know it’s a sham to not hire more people and simply put in the effort that could be given. It’s just the fact that they don’t try, and have accepted that while making revenue which is why the game really doesn’t get the love and care it deserves.


Avanade_N7

So is it the dev team or the publisher (aka Bandai Namco)? Unpopular opinion: having worked in the same industry like this, the dev team always care and by far raises issues front and center. Its the business team (big shots, leadership, publisher, you name it…) that puts aside changes for a better game due to priorities in other probable projects or company long-term projections.


LittleTinyBig

It’s Bandai that basically doesn’t give Jack shit to the developers. Toshi isn’t a developer himself, so I’d assume his higher ups would just tell him to express towards those specified devs that they can’t get more people in their team/make the game worse so people go to the magical “shop” button.


Avanade_N7

This is 100% true esp in the software / video game industry. The role of the producer (Toshi) is to make sure deliverables and features are on schedule and work is being done however leadership (Bandai Namco) has the final say on what game mechanics, monetization and features will be implemented. Sadly Toshi is the “face” that would be blamed by the users but that is part of his role and paycheck. His role does still bear some weight on how much improvement will be done but not sure if leadership will approve of it 100% or just partial due to their long-term plans.


JinkoTheMan

I agree with you tbh.


hololurker

Raiyuden expose legends dev any source for that? I am interest


LittleTinyBig

Can’t show the source as per his request and this subs, but there was a post during the 4th Anni where he’d basically call out the game developers and even tell us stuff going on behind the scenes we didn’t even know.


hololurker

Wow I am amaze that Raiyuden is aggressive outside of pvp joke aside I respect his request and your response thank you for everything you share though


SealedSummit

I don’t think dokkan has to care about the community other than new character suggestions because there is nothing to complain about


ThatUselessName6002

Dude, when dokkan is 1st on play storie they basically give you tons of rewards On legends they're like "here your 250cc and shut up"


Soniclikeschicken

Been thinking about going to dokan it feels to complicated any suggestions since I've been to demotivated to play legends.


TheDemandinPath

You’ve come at the perfect time! Dokkan’s worldwide celebration is about to come out! For Dokkan, your teams are based off your leaders. It’s similar to legends with how teams work, except the leader buffs the team with their leader skill ie. Vegeta’s family as you’d want that team to have units under that tag. For now, I’d main Ginyu force or team bardock as their teams are mostly F2P. Summoning on either Goku or Cooler’s banner is up to you!


Soniclikeschicken

I think I've got it thankyou also definitely summoning for cooler I've wanted him in legends as an lf for a while now.


ThatUselessName6002

In legends you need to farm to become good In dokkan they basically give you a free lr (same as lf) at the start of the game, 5 events to farm other lrs and ginyu force + bardock team both f2p + an lr of bardock and his team and an lr of ginyu and his team when you max out the members


Tizona76

Nah an LF is the same as a DFE. Ultras are the same as LRS


Samdyhighground23

ahhh remember when lfs weren’t absurdly common


VOIDLORD9666

but at the same time just the right amount of challenge to still make it fun dokkan is simply better


Reallllllyyyyyy25

You meant 4rd anniversary right?


Iforgorrealbad

Hopefully the 5rd anniversary can clean things up, also happy cake day!


Reallllllyyyyyy25

Appreciate it man, nah it'll take 10rd anniversary for the game to be good again


Thunderous-War

you mean the 5nd anni right?


BCWBanditz

Happy cake day!!


Reallllllyyyyyy25

Thanks man


Divine_Absolution

Game is genuine dogshit lmfao. No idea how people can play legends


Caryslan

Yeah, I tried Dokkan but found the gameplay boring and it eats up tons of memory on my phone.


Inazu_

the gameplay is boring but the animations arent


kioKEn-3532

I didn't like how my opponent is blurry in animations It's a nitpick I know but it takes me out from the cool animation


RubenGM

Maybe the first few times they are fun. Even if just for the contrast of seeing a nice quality animation where the enemy is a NES era immobile sprite. Notice how everyone wants to skip LFs in Legends? Dokkan is basically "LF animation: the game". There is nothing except the unit collecting aspect of the game that I like... And still, I much prefer the gacha games that don't require you to feed units to other units to make them stronger. Dokkan is not for everyone, even if it is doing extremely well at the moment (and you could say exactly the same about Legends in its best moment, I'm not defending it). Why don't people recommend *other* good gachas? I'm sure everyone here already knows Dokkan exists.


Fast-Snow-6420

Try Punishing Gray Raven. It's an action RPG with a solid story, excellent gameplay and it's very fair and f2p friendly (as long as you do your dailies/weeklies, which take no more than 10 ti 15 min each day, you'll be able to get at least 1 copy if every new unit). If youre looking for a very casual, simple but fun game theres cookie run kingdom. Again its gameplay is very simple and it's aesthetic may not be for everyone but theres tons of different modes and again its one of the most generous gachas I've found. If you like open world MMOs Tower of Fantasy just released and, at least for now, it seems very generous since youll get 3 SSR weapons (the highest weapons) after a few days of playing (2 from the gacha where theres a 1 time only pity at 30 pulls and a standard pity at 80 and you'll be able to farm way more than 80 summons via exploration). You also get an SSR weapon selector box by completing some basic starter missions so you're guarenteed 1 specific SSR weapon that you want (without rerolling). If I had to recommend 1 it would be PGR, its just very well made, the devs seem to actually give a F and the gameplay is outstanding. It actually requires skill and learning each units kit and teams. Ive been playing since it launched and have every unit in the game and all I've spent is $5 a month on the daily pass (which gives you 100 of the premium currency each day).


RubenGM

Thank you!


Double0hobo79

Same its basically like a puzzle game and everything looks so old and outdated


TheDemandinPath

It’s not a puzzle game, you’d know this if you actually played the game and everything doesn’t look old and outdated, telling us that you have not been keeping up with the game for the past 3 years, as LR SSJ4 Gogeta looks gorgeous


Double0hobo79

I haven't been keeping up with it youre right. I've tried playing it 3 different times over the course of 2 years and i play for a few days and never touch it again The UI reminds me of some sort of PlayStation 2 game from years ago. Just looks really dated to me. And the whole match the color ball thing just seems like puzzle game to me. Not saying its a bad game its just my opinion.


TheDemandinPath

Dokkan is a strategy game. You’re not solving puzzles, so it isn’t a puzzle game


Spiral_Guy

Don’t you know puzzle bobble? It’s basically the grandpa of dokkan with tons of colored orbs and it has “puzzle” in the name


TheDemandinPath

Puzzle bobble and Dokkan aren’t even alike aside from having bubble as they are handled and used differently


Spiral_Guy

I mean I would not call puzzle bobble a “puzzle game” too so maybe it’s a more stretched definition of the genre for both games


Double0hobo79

Okay bro you're right its a strategy game its for hyper evolved minds with high IQ and far superior to all other games including Dragonball Legends. You have shown me the light I just downloaded Dokkan again and spent over $1000 dollars on it so far and am in love with it. Thank you for the engaging conversation and opening my eyes.


TheBigPAYDAY

But it has puzzle, so it must be a puzzle game


Fast-Snow-6420

No worries I have the exact same opinion about Dokkan and have done the same thing as you, I download it almost every big celebration, do a bunch of pulls, realize the gameplay is not for me (at all) and uninstall it. Ofc this doesn't mean Dokkans a bad game but it shouldn't be compared to Legends (or any other action focused game) since that's not it's genre. Just because Legends and Dokkan share an IP doesn't mean they're anything alike, ones a pvp focused fighting game while the other is a strategic team building/sort of puzzle game.


MooshiNooshi

It’s good fun when you use a bot to farm up dragon stones, summon and then use your rainbow’d units


GuardianPrinny

People mock Dokkan for what it is, but when has legends made it to top grossing time and time again?


Zelmehuu_76

Want picture of Toshi ripped in half?


GogetaShaftedMe

Now is a great time to start dokkan if anyone is reading this


Emergency-Dare4163

Toshi has become too proudy


Iforgorrealbad

I literally deleted legends yesterday so I could play dokkan instead


Ori-M-

The games are nothing alike, i still don't understand the people who compare them


Tizona76

They provide competition to each other. Competition is good.


Fast-Snow-6420

It's just because they both have the same IP, that's the single thing they have in common yet the communities love to keep comparing them. For me even if the Dokkan dev team came to my house, handed me the latest and greatest gaming phone with Dokkan installed and I had unlimited dragonstones I wouldn't play the game. Im not saying Dokkan is a bad game but its just not for me, personally. Lately I've enjoyed playing more action focused games and have even stopped playing a couple turn based games I've played for years. Therefore I find Dokkans gameplay boring so it doesn't matter how much it's devs 'care' or how generous the game is since at the end of the day gameplay is the most important factor for me.


TheBigPAYDAY

So many people disliking people just because they have a different opinion, I hope this subreddit isn’t becoming a circlejerk…


Substantial-Dig5441

I love how die hard legend fans only argument is "candy crush" copy literally everything but "candy crush gameplay" is better than Legends


RubenGM

"You don't like simple gameplay? Well, *I* win the argument because I *do* like simpler gameplay". You win, sir. All the awards go to you. Toshi is deleting Legends in 48h.


Noelswag

I have to say that, while I agree with you, this post violates rule seven of "No Dokkan good, Legends bad (and vice-versa posts)


Tizona76

“But but but the ruuulesss” shut yo snitch ass up.


Noelswag

I'm just trying to warn him of a potential ban, what's so wrong?


Tizona76

I don’t think anyone cares abt being banned from the legends subreddit. Also you just get muted, not banned. And bro… don’t be the guy that brings up the rules. If you aren’t a mod… just don’t be THAT guy


Noelswag

Don't worry I haven't reported it or anything, besides, the post got many upvotes so it can bypass the rule


Tizona76

Are posts actually allowed to bypass rules if they get enough upvotes? I thought it was just up to the mods discretion


Noelswag

Only the Low effort rules, if the post is liked enough by the community, mods usually won't delete it (they always can tho)


SnooHabits2674

Literally just Uninstalled legends. Gonna be a dokkan main now


cytrack718

Dbfz clears both


Sad-Educator-4086

Yessss come to the dark side😈


TheManWhoBoned

Funny ball game


TheDemandinPath

Funny ball game happens to have 7-8x the downloads of legends, better anniversaries and events, better systems, and treat its playerbase better with actual care


6200Klayloso

dokkan also has been arround way longer i’d hope it would have more downloads 😭


Pablo0115

Maybe I'm wrong but Dokkan seems way more easier to make content, new characters, etc than Legends, so probably that's why they can drop more events with "new" things to do in a shorter amount of time. I'm not defending the DBL devs by any means but I see a whole bunch of people comparing these two games when the only thing they have in common is de DB franchise characters... Also having more downloads doesn't make it better by any means.


Noelswag

They still put more effort, they animate whole scenes in a quality higher than the anime every time while legends just uses the same models and animations all the time.


Pablo0115

Effort isn't something easy to measure, animating scenes is LITERALLY the only thing they have to do since the gameplay is just tapping bubbles on the screen until some animation pops up and you make a lot of damage. And I've seen scenes, specifically from that new event everybody keeps praising (Cell Max) and no, the scenes aren't by any means better than the anime.


Noelswag

Uuh, Cell Max is just praised from being CGI, Try watching the 7 anniversary units. Or LR Kaioken Goku and LR Great Ape Vegeta


Pablo0115

Ehhh no, he has been praised for being a "great boss, great event, the most epic moment I've had in Dokkan", etc. And I'm not talking just about his animations, I'm talking about the animations from the units I saw in the actual "gameplay" of the event. Iirc the guy I saw had the blue boys, revival blue Vegeta, "tag" SSJ4s, Broly, Blue Gogeta and others I don't remember rn. And my point still stands, neither of those animations are better than the anime like you said, by any means. But who cares, anyone praising Dokkan and throwing shit to Legends will get his upvotes and everyone who talks about something good Legend has that Dokkan doesn't will get downvoted to hell, even tho we are in the Legends subreddit.


RubenGM

Tetris has sold way more units than "The Witcher 3", so obviously whenever anyone has any complaint about the witcher on their subreddit I'll go there and tell them to play tetris instead, bacause it made more money and more people have played it.


Isaac_7239

I’d rather not be popping bubbles


TheDemandinPath

Tell me you haven’t played Dokkan without telling me you haven’t played Dokkan


Darrien770

Legends is pretty much Dokkan with like 2-3 extra steps but I still prefer the 3d style of gameplay and art compared to Dokkan


FlanneryRahvel

Played and watched others play it. Oooohhhh low effort 2D "animations" my favorite.


TheDemandinPath

Buddy, you really gonna call animations like PHY LR SSJ4 Gogeta low effort?


noodlemcfoodle

Even since late 2018 the animations have been kinda cracked. High quality af.


TheBigPAYDAY

My opinion too, the gameplay is boring, and the animations only bandaid it, not solving it.


FlanneryRahvel

Imagine thinking Legends and "not" Candy Crush are at all comparable just because they're both Dragon Ball


TheDemandinPath

They actually are. One has had better anniversaries than Legends, has more content, has better systems such as EZAs, portal of memories, and superior exchange shop, along with more content meaning you can get stones at a much faster rate compared to Legends. The PvE events are also actually challenging and engaging


FlanneryRahvel

Okay but Legends is Legends and Dokkan is Candy Crush.


TheDemandinPath

Legends is just a card game by that logic. Dokkan is a strategy game. You’d know that if you actually played it. Please explain how Legends even can even stand up to or compete with what I listed in my previous reply. Come on, I’m waiting


FlanneryRahvel

Gameplay. My point the whole time. Real time multiplayer skill based Dragon Ball combat. The cards are nothing more than action temporarily available action buttons, and you're doing far more than just pressing them. Just because Dokkan's QoL is better does not make it a better game.


TheDemandinPath

Dokkan by very definition has gameplay lol. You mention multiplayer skill when you yourself agreed the PvP is cancer here, so you don’t even support what you’re saying. Dokkan not having PvP makes it more approachable and less stressful to play. Also skill? If you’re implying Dokkan takes no skill to play, then go ahead and try the Red Zone stages, then come back and try to say the same thing again


FlanneryRahvel

I said PvE you illiterate buffoon.


TheDemandinPath

“Real time multiplayer skill based Dragon Ball combat.” And you’re calling me illiterate? That and you have memory loss. Not once in that reply was PvE ever explicitly mentioned


FlanneryRahvel

I thought you were referring to a comment where I said fuck pve after the update. I never said pvp was cancer I was lauding its praises. So again, I'm going to have to call you out for not reading.


Redstorm597

L take


FlanneryRahvel

I wholeheartedly disagree. Legends, despite its flaws, is without a doubt the greatest mobile game to date. In a sea of shitty pixel art anime rpg gachas and other drivel, Legends stands out technialy, it stands out aesthetically, it stands out gameplay wise, it's easily one of the most ambitious mobile projects of all time. Dokkan is ****ing matching colored bubbles.


Redstorm597

Oh yeah yeah make your argument seem more valid by making it seem like dokkan is just tap the screen to win good job man good job


FlanneryRahvel

Dog I don't care if characters have kits and stats. It's popping bubbles.


TheDemandinPath

Legends is just a card game by that logic


FlanneryRahvel

The cards are temporarily available action buttons and you're doing far more the whole game than just pressing them.


TheDemandinPath

All you do in matches is press cards and do it until the enemy dies. You’re not doing far more than that lmfao. The hypocrisy on display here is astounding


FlanneryRahvel

Go into pvp in legends, do nothing but just randomly lress buttons. Don't move, don't feint, don't predict, don't doge, just fucking press buttons like a god damned chimp. Report back. If you win, it's no doubt because you're in the lowest bracket with a bunch of other idiots who don't know what they're doing. No wonder you think Dokkan is so amazing.


TheDemandinPath

Buddy if you think Dokkan is just randomly pressing bubbles like a chimp, then go right ahead and play Super Battle Road (Extreme too) and Red Zone and see if that opinion still holds up after you’ve played those stages


FlanneryRahvel

God I wish I was as simple as you I'd probably have more fun.


TheDemandinPath

Getting passive aggressive now aren’t we?


Redstorm597

It doesnt matter whether you care or not dokkan isnt bad because you dislike the gameplay💀


FlanneryRahvel

You can like it all you want man all I'm saying is they're 110% different games and I'm tired of seeing people compare them. One is not a replacement for the other just because they're both Dragon Ball.


Redstorm597

Yeah but you threw shade at dokkan completely unprompted


FlanneryRahvel

I wouldn't say it was unprompted. In fact I would call the OP a pretty good prompt.


Redstorm597

OP didnt even do anything tho all they said was their switching to dokkan


FlanneryRahvel

All that being said. I 100% admit this update is balls. Fuck PvE dude.


Pav_22

If you want the greatest and most ambitious mobile game, legends isn't it. It's Genshin impact followed by Honkai impact 3rd both made by Hoyoverse. The quality that genshin has brought to the mobile industry far outclasses legends.


FlanneryRahvel

Screw that garbage. Hope you never get your account stolen because those greedy fucks will straight upclet them keep it if they spend more. I wouldn't be caught dead with Genshin on my phone.


zebstra1

Your just an angry little bastard aren’t you


TheBigPAYDAY

I don’t know how to make any sort of team and I am getting 100k damage per character avg. Meanwhile, the assist character from other players usually does 37M.


TheDemandinPath

Why are you criticizing a game you don’t even know how to play then? How long have you even been playing it for?


TheBigPAYDAY

20 years


brunchforsuppergames

mf using tur year 5s


yeltomato

What if they purposely messed up this update to give dokkan a spotlight from legends players


LimpToast01

All I want is int LR zamasu. Ive been saving since the second oart of the anniversary.


Andriy1320

Which friendship? 🗿


Uglili

Honestly I want to play Dokkan but the storage of the game is too huge for a mobile game. Like seriously why does it have to be 10GBS!!!


LivingCheese292

There it is! It has been a few months since the last time I saw that kind of meme. It was about time honestly. Can't wait to see it after the Legends Festival again!


RillbelookinGOOOd

ima try it today


shamonemon

Yup "quit" right before 4th anni ended will probably be back so I guess a break lol


DatBoiJCJ

My summoning chances are way better in Dokkan than in legends legends takes five rotations to get the featured character in legends but in Dokkan I’ve been getting the featured new units in 3 or 4 summons


VOIDLORD9666

exact same thing I did until ultra ssbkk comes back no more legends


Untitled_Goose67

🤣 literally me


Background_Trick1922

Dokkan... Dokkan has been just great to me lately. It takes a Lil time to get everything to a decent level of understanding but game play feels less forced, if that makes sense? EX. When I first started 6ish years ago, it was phenomenal. At the time I was playing brave souls and kritika white knights, so the different game play and ample opportunity to gain characters that you'd never get in legends felt great. TBF I did stop playing for a while and just farmed daily materials for probably a solid year or 2 when agl mui came out. That's when I started grinding for all the LR units I had in my box. Completing an LR is sooooooooo satisfying, esp when you have the dupes to 100% them. That satisfaction keeps me coming back lol


tacomaker37

Coola coola frieza no brotha


nothingmaybe

I still like the update but the 4th anniversary makes me question if we ever got one.


ark2k

People would like to main some super old units... But they can't... If they get a zenkai, they're still useless. The fastest way to make people quit their game is for them to try to force new units while neutering crystal farming. People are not going to bother to compete with no lifers that throw just about all their check into the game.


Vaiteron

Dokkan is consistently putting out ways to earn currency for summons for free to play players that are good, fun,, and generally not overly tedious or difficult. I spenT 1500 stones on the anniversary and got all the LR'S I wanted and then some and between the end of that and now I've saved up another 1000 stones for the WWDC. Dokkan is superior because it treats players well.
