The Official Tournament

^ Advertisement ^

The tournament is almost here, only one day and people will be able to watch as others fight, or participate in the Official DB Zero S tournament to win the champion title!
Now, I have already made the matchups, what I am about to reveal to you guys, and we have the fix starting point too.
But first, let me tell some things what you need to keep in mind!

-If you registered to a division, but since then you exceeded the level limit, you are automatically disqualified! (This means if you were level 2000, registered in Beginner Division, but you are now level 2500 which is considered Intermediate Division, then you are out).
-If you are not online when you are called to the arena, or you make us wait more than 2 minutes, we will assume you gave up, and your opponent automatically wins.
-If you are not a participant, and you join the tournaments to “troll” or by accident, or perhaps you think its okay to break the rules and attack the participants, you are going to get a 6 hours temp ban.
-If you are a participant, you are already registered, with the race you signed up, do not change your race untill the end of the tournament! Doing this will result in a disqualification!
-Breaking Any rules will result jail or disqualification, depending on if you are a spectator or a participant!

Furthermore, Jin will stream the tournament, so if you are on the server, don’t try to be in his field of view, so those who are not on the server can see the tournament.
The Tournament will start at Saturday 9pm CEST.  Edit: Sunday changed to Saturday! I misstyped, sorry guys!
We will start with the Beginner Division, then continuing with Intermediate Division and we will end it with the Senior Division.
We will have maximum 60 matches, depending on how many people actually will be here in time for the matches.
Additionally, we will increase the server capacity to 200 so there won’t  be problems like in the last tournament that participants couldn’t join the server, because it was full.

Now on to the winning prizes.
Senior:
-1m$
-Champion rank
-Additional RPGweapon with 100k XP or 150k XP for one existing
-100m

Intermediate:
-500k$
-Champion rank
-Additional RPGweapon with 75k XP or 100k XP for one existing
-5m TP

Beginner:

Along the way

So there wasn’t an update here on the website for quite a long time. But that doesn’t mean that nothing happened. We are occupied with various things, especially with the new update with Ultra Instinct, though it still needs a few hot fixes for it.
So let’s recap what happened so far, then we will talk about what is currently happening and what we plan to do, and as in Jin’s video, we will talk about the tournament, which was absent for almost a whole year (8 months to be specific).

So what were we doing? Why didn’t we use the website?
Well we have many answers for that, school and work being one… okay I am not going to lie to you, we just forgot about the website and discord was faster to use for change logs and announcements. But we will try to use the website more frequently, mostly for bigger announcements, talking about the current projects, and of course for the tournaments!

So what happened so far?
Well let’s start with the beginning. Like the very beginning, you know it started with a big boom, okay not that far in the beginning.
Since the server got the new map, many things have changed. Last time I talked about it a lot of things weren’t done, because of school we had to rush opening up, and many things were left unfinished, which was a shame at that time.
But since then all of that was finished, and spawn is more lively than ever, as you can see on the background picture (if it isn’t too bright for you).
We had a few tournaments, what Jin himself streamed, and it was a really nice thing, but problems arised.
A lot of us had problems, and no motivation at the beginning of the year.
It took us a few months, but after getting everything in order we were back on track!

Super Saga was released by Poke, and it is better than it ever was!
Hero Saga Chapter 1 was released too, it is mainly focused on lore of the server, and helping new players get familiar with the server.
A few training areas got rewamped, mainly low level ones, since we didn’t have many of those, but now we have quite a lot!
A long awaited Kaioken Saga was released by our new admins Giga and Sauce! They did an excelent work, and players around End Saga level now can look forward to fight the server’s current strongest boss, Vegito Blue x100!
Our awesome new builder team rebuilt a lot of things for us, many examples are:
-Babidi’s Ship
-New Grand Kai (which itself is a new Saga entirely created by our new Head Builder CatGirlBeerus (who is known by a lot of name but it is too much to list))
-Vegeta’s gravity training ship at spawn!
-Yemma’s whole place
-King Kai’s planet
And many more awesome buildings!

We have had a discord rewamp, we got a totally new discord, made entirely by one of our late builder Vesuviate, if you want to join it search for an invite on the server, or just join it through the website.
We have been rewamping rules too, so it is more understandable for players, and for staff at the same time!
HTC is a critical point at the server, most of the players leave there, because they can’t take it anymore. Well 3 bossess were added there, so you can fight more in the HTC for more TP!

The very last thing we did, is kind of obvious if you look around on the site, and the server. We have decided on a name for the server! Being Official Jingames 1.7.10 was nice, but it wasn’t really a name, more like a title. So after a few weeks of speculating we came up with Dragon Block Zero S! Dragon Block since we are a DBC server. Zero is for since we are the very first server of Jin’s (and integer starts at 0) and for lore reasons, which will be revealed in Hero Saga chapter 2 or 3. And S as Simulation, since the map reset we really adapted into the Simulation theme, and the server’s main lore is connected to it.

Now onto the current projects!

Currently we have quite a few projects going on as it is on the server, all of them to ensure that the players will have fun while being there.

Let’s start with the project about reworking Beerus planet. It is kind of old, and kind of small, so Poke decided that he would like to give it a new, cooler, and bigger look, so it can satisfie those who love training there.
This is what Poke has to say about the new Beerus planet:
“Beerus Planet was the very first project I worked on that made it through the server, so it’s something I’ve really treasured for a while. But even then, I feel like I could do something better with it. So I’ve decided to remake Beerus Planet from the ground up to truly make Beerus Planet the way I envisioned it back when it first released! This remake will contain a lot more content, plus a pretty cool way to earn yourself the divinity status (the one currently in the old Beerus Planet is only temporary for now), some new quests, and of course, everything will be rebalanced and reworked to make Beerus Planet an rewarding and enjoyable experience! I’ll also try my best to reintroduce a feature long gone: Whis’ staff! Of course, this will require careful balancing to ensure things will work while being fun, so stay tuned for that! The builders team are doing an amazing job helping me out, too! So yeah, hopefully you all can stay tuned for Beerus’ Planet’s new release very soon!”

Other projects what are currently being planned/worked on are there too.

Hero Saga chapter 2 will be bigger and longer than chapter 1, and hopefully players will fall in love with some of it characters. It will reveal quite a bit of information about the servers lore, while the main hero, the player is doing their work to save the Simulation, and the rest of the world from a new Enemies, and recurring enemies as well. But they don’t have to do it alone, allies will be there to help him.

Remember old Fusion Saga? The one what our loved admins Dupling and Flarbo made? You know what  happened with it… it got overly simplyfied, so much that it is just an offense to them. So another of our project is Fusion Saga rewamp, so it will have proper lore to it, and it won’t be all over the map. You will arrive at a research lab, where they are fusing everything together, with the essence of the fusion dance. Is it safe? Most likely not, but they won’t have to fear, when ‘player’ goes there to learn fusion, they will help them clean up after their mess. But are they really happy with it? Find out when Fusion Saga Rewamped comes out!

KI userse are declining in number on the server. The only reasons is.. End Saga. It is the hardest project so far for us, to make End Saga suitable for KI users again, without them abusing safe spots for free TP. We are doing it slowly, but surely one day End Saga will have KI users in it again. If not by Safe Spots being killed, then by making the npcs % resistance to KI attacks.

Majin is something what almost everyone uses, because the 5% bonus it gives. It is really easy to get it, just talk to Babidi and done. But this is too easy. One of our projects involves making it, so that you have to fight for Majin every time you want to subject yourself to Babidi, so that Majin will have more worth, and possibly but not surely it will have the 10% bonus again.

Lastly, this came to me a few days ago. Some people told me that UG’s lore is jumbled. While he couldn’t connect the dots together, he had quite a few valid points too about it. So I will rewrite UnderGround, Angel Skies, and Queens lore in my free time, so that it won’t be that confusing, still I wouldn’t like to push the lore into players face, so they would have to search for the lore.

Now to the mainest main pont. The Tournament!
This tournament is to decide the champions of the server. Because of the power differences, we have decided to split the 2 division into 3 division, so that more players will be ecnouraged to try to sign up for the tournament.

To sign up to the tournament, please join us on discord, there search for the Tournament Category and the sign up channel where you will get further instructions about how to sign up properly.
Lying about your DBC level or leveling up just before the tournament starts will result in an immidiate disqualification.
That’s all we wanted to share. Zero S staff team out~

Server is back up!

Yep you heard it, we are back  up. We are up sonner than expected and it has some concequences like:
-Super Saga is not done yet
-Shop is not done yet
-Some Buildings you may see, are not done yet

But besides that are everything else is up and go! Vouchers are working fine too, but they won’t be there forever, a few days and we plan to take them off, so be sure to do them if you can!

Another news, I plan to do a new tournament, one for juniors and one for seniors to choose the new junior and senior champion of the server! I plan to make it in a few days, I don’t know exact time yet, so be sure to check the website and discord for more news about this, but I can tell you something, that I intend to invite someone special to this 😉

That’s all! Don’t forget to talk to the Instructor at spawn so he can tell you more info! Matu out~

Map reset

Yes you heard me, a map reset is going to happen because the server suddenly has no storage for some reason, and because of that a lot of damage was caused, so even if we get bigger storage we would need to make a map reset, the damages were that severe.

We will try to let people in the server to save their buildings and their stuff before its too late.

For saving a building I suggest using a schematica mod
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SASJVr4ZFi8 a video about it (it works like this for 1.7.10 as I know)
and the link for it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/238040548374609921/351749784316674048/LunatriusCore-1.7.10-1.1.2.21-universal.jar
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/238040548374609921/351749794261106699/Schematica-1.7.10-1.7.6.131-universal.jar you need both of it to work.

We are currently doing everything to save yours and the servers important things, please be patient for updates!

About the Namek and Human transformation nerf

One of the nerf masters have done it. Hello there younglings, I am Matu, one of the nerf masters. Today I bring you these nerfs to your sight:

  • Human buffed form multipier changed from 4.45x to 2.5x and it’s ki regen to -45 from -50
  • Human Full Power form multipier changed from 2.65x to 3.4x and it’s ki regen to -50 from -55
  • Namek Giant form multipier changed from 4.75x to 2.8x and it’s ki regen to -20 from -30
  • Namek Full Power form multipier changed from 2.8x to 3.35x and it’s ki regen to -55 from 0

Now you might be wondering why would I be so evil and do this to you guys. Well the answer is simple. I do it because I can
So it is because they were too op, also you got buff and giant form before full power so we had to swap it. Now I tell you why they were too op.
You see, they always got a 10-50% percent boost in their transformation, depending on your racial skill level. so with the old multipiers for example the human buff multipier was 7.15x, because those % multiply the multipiers itself, so it was like 4.45*1.5=7.15. So basically almost God Form tier. No wonder all of you went human to train…. well the problem is solved already, so we you don’t have to worry about it. See ya next time.

Rebirth plugin

Due to a minor bug what players couldn’t understand not to do it, and that they haven’t read after the plugin itself, which lead to more bugs than intented, we temporaly remove the rebirth plugin from the server. If you seek to rebirth, then searach for an admin.

Maintenance End, Server reopens!

Oh yeah one last thing, if I see on the server Pandemonium or something similar as a faction, I will disband it immidiately.

Maintenance

Today at GMT+1 8pm or 9pm, we would like to start the maintenance on the server. This means we would like to take action of the plans what we have thought out, like putting a world border up, giving back factions, and deletting the innactive player’s player and cnpc data. So if you can’t join the server, and it says it’s white listed, then we have already started it. Hopefully the maintenance won’t take long, and will give great results when finished.

Roll back

Untill the KI freeze bug is fixed the server is using JRMCore 1.2.37 and Dragon Block C 1.4.32
so don’t forget to roll back your versions untill the next update comes with a possible fix for this.

Oh yeah the client is still the same JBRA Client 1.6.20 so don’t worry about it.

EDIT: Jin have fixed the issue with the KI blasts freezing the server, so get the recent updates from now on!

Plans for the week

So this update was fairly a nerf update from Jin himself, which we can’t do anything about it but accept it.
But don’t take this update on the wrong side, as Jin himself said in his post, it was necessary to prepare for what is coming, and oh boy a lot of things are coming.
First let’s check what changed in the mod itself:

  • The annoying lag when the sites are down should be fixed now
  • Stat increase rate got decreased (people mostly handle this negatively)
  • The annoying OP Jump nerf finally happened
  • SK is more viable now if you combine kaioken and endurance (50% at max lvl’s that it doesn’t take HP upon transforming)

These changes are well ballanced, but people don’t always look at the bigger purpose behind these kinds of things, so let’s see what Jin plans to implement, by doing this decrease:

  • KI system upgrade for KI attacks
  • SSJ4 is in the doors!
  • Higher max attributes! This means more stats than 30.000 will be accesable
  • Majin seal!
  • Mystic form!
  • And SSG transformation, so you don’t need ritual

(You can read the rest at http://main.jingames.net/ at the 17w17 update post)
Now let’s be real, to balance out things, these decreases were necessary so the mod itself won’t need more RAM to be playable, and also opens the opportunity to get more what you have lost, it’s like they say “Something for something else”.

Now look at the things from the server’s perspective. Everyone lost some of their strength and their HP, and the players are sad but mostly angry over the update. Believe me, you shouldn’t be, since more awesome things are going to happen from now on. On the other hand, we may reduce some of the bosses’ regeneration in order to compromise with the loss of the damage.
Now there are other major things I want to tell you, so listen carefully, because you might not wanna miss out of this.

First of all, the upper staff team concluded, that the server reads too much unnecessary player and custom npcs data, which causes most of the lag spikes, when searching through them.
Now in order to try to fix this we decided to delete some of these datas. Now don’t freak out, we don’t mean we will completely wipe out your stats or anything, so just calm down. We mean, that there are a lot of innactive players and their data there just takes up the space, and makes the server freak out. So we decided to delete those people datas who are innactive for more than 3-4 months now. It might be unfair for most of them, but it’s not like we will delete them without saving them first. With this done, the server maybe will have less lag spikes, and it’s good for cleaning up the storage capacity too.  We are still on the deciding matter whether should it be 3 or 4 months, but I can assure you that at the date of 2017/May/7 we will do this clean up for the sake of your enjoyment.

Other thing I want to introduce you is that factions are coming back! Yep you read that right, but unlike before, some things might change including them, so the personal claims won’t be targetted. With the spar plugin, it can be a nice set of battles for example, but I am not saying much about this matter, since it hasn’t been discussed that much yet.

The last thing on the list what we want to do sooner the better, is getting a world border plugin. With a world border plugin, we can limit the world, so that we lessen the likes of corrupt chunks, as well as limiting the world’s storage size itself, thus not overworking the server PC. We can have a lot of possibilities with a world border plugin, like making another world, where let’s say it’s 1000*1000 block meter the whole thing, and we could host events there, like Pygmy hunt for example.

Also a side note, if you live in the nether, move out, because we are planning to delete it, and making a new one, since the present one is kinda over used, and to be honest for mana crafting I believe we should make some Ghast hunting spots for players, so it’s not that hard to get ghast tears.

I believe that’s  all for now, we will try to work hard to make the changes happen as smoothly as possible so it won’t cause problems for you guys. If you have any question, just write a comment! See you in the next post!

(Oh yeah, as a Change Log thing: passive defense from 40% was put to maximum 50%)
