How to Farm Dragon Balls and Proficiency in Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO
With this Dragon Ball farming method, Sparking! ZERO players will be summoning Shenron and Porunga in no time while also increasing their proficiency.
Reddit user TheShadyXL recently shared a post highlighting Bandai Namco's impressive customer service for the launch of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. This gamer pre-ordered the Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero Collector's Edition, but there was an issue with the delivery. They were informed by the delivery company that there was an issue at the warehouse, but that their package was still on its way. According to the Reddit user, Bandai Namco quickly emailed them with a digital code for PS5 while they awaited their package. This gamer stated that they weren't expecting to get a digital code, even less for it to be sent so quickly, and the post expresses appreciation for the publisher.
This Gamer Was Surprised by Bandai Namco's Response
This Reddit post includes the Bandai Namco email but omits important information like the player's name and the PS5 digital code. Based on the email, Bandai Namco put in its best efforts to get the package to the player on "D-Day," a clever nickname for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's launch. The publisher admits that the delivery was beyond its control, but that it wanted to ensure the gamer could play the game on its release date. The email concludes with "We hope you will enjoy the game," a message that holds even more value with Bandai Namco including the digital code.
While late deliveries aren't new for gamers, it's uncommon for publishers to ensure they can still play the game on launch day. As TheShadyXL wasn't expecting a free Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero digital code, this may solidify their continued support of Bandai Namco. With Bandai Namco committed to updating Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, this gamer should be able to experience each content drop.
