    Hey.
    That's it, every time I open the game the Ping rises up like crazy and I can check it out by using TeamSpeak3. Why?
    I can't join any match neither play with friends, I only can create (slowly) a match against bots...

    That server browser really likes to spam requests over the network. There's not much you can do if you're on that page because it can really slow down your internet while you're looking at the server list. Other pages run a lot smoother though.

    No, there's really no solution to this as far as I know. We'll just need to wait for the devs to clean up their network code because the page you're showing that lists all the game lobbies can really cripple your internet while you're looking at it. Other parts of the menu aren't so bad.

    Yes, known bugs are that the uber launcher mkII will consume every available GPU resource, and that the game list search will consume all the internet it can.

    Best to avoid "idling" on those, the game list will drain internet if left on, and the uber launcher mkII you install PTE from will drive hard on your GPU.

    this is a case of the game still being in development. Eventually that would be improved as optimizations are ongoing on a continuous basis.;)
    Why are you talking about the old launcher?:confused:

    Pedantic time:D If you do a literal translation of the manga it is over 8000 instead of 9000. According to English language director of Dragon Ball Kai on the episode's commentary track.;)

    It isn't discreet anymore that it was originally over 8000 cannonically speaking. Then again, people have better things to do than wrap their minds around DBZ, Zelda, or other game/cartoon canon.

    I just wanted to be pedantic... Ok... Just wanted to be pedantic... Is that a crime?.. (as he's crying:():p

    p.s. Awesome video. You could say it's 9000 and 10.;)

    let me just say this the first time heard that line. It broke my suspension of disbelief thrown me out of the narrative and into reality. This is something you never want to do as a storyteller.

    Edit: also when they changed the voice cast from Ocean group to Funimation part of the way through DBZ. Threw me for a loop.

    Rules of forums never ever ever mention it's over 9000. Unless you want to derail the thread either by accident or not.:p
