@@DigitalWorldOrder well it felt very anti consumer with the early versions and then it took them forever to make it just have some basic features that the most basic pedometer digivices had from the start. I know bandai learned from this device at least with seeing how the tamagotchi smart went so maybe one day a genuine attempt at a explainable digimon can be done without it being super anti consumer and basic
I’m sure once September the 30th and cyanic releases the source code and other stuff many people will be working on different thing, gameplay mods, apps and more 😃
I stopped using mine because it was getting in the way so much while I was at work. Now that I’m working from home I was looking forward to playing with my Digimon again. I not only found out labs was gone, so all of the ones I already raised were also gone, but also that arena was shutting down its online function. Why can’t they just keep something around for the people that actually play with these? In the US we already have such a hard time finding Digimon things.
Tell me about it. Here in UK digimon in shops is very rare the only thing that is easy available to get is the TCG and that like that with all TCG 😭. Yeah most people including me don’t understand why they got rid of the VB labs as that was a 1000 times better than arena app. It was so difficult to find a battle in arena and the only time it got excited was the events Bandai did in app. But they did leave the app for storage but that also has issues, other complain about losing their digimon to the shadow realms. Let’s hope that a fan makes a better app once the hacker for the vb releases more information about the vital bracelet.
Unfortunately I think Bandai has fully abandoned this device and recycling sprites but I’m hoping (if people stop gatekeeping info) that a fan made app will be released and it will be like this with more features
Sad, I just got mine not too long ago. Guess that’s why it was on sale. Without the app the watch kind is meh. Wish they just made pendulum world wide release
Yeah the app did add playability to the device. Let’s hope we can get some fan app 🤞. Pendulum world wide releases would of been good and easy to buy rather then import
They have WiFi coms now but I’m finding it hard to get one but acom has a listing on Etsy that always ready available here is the link www.etsy.com/uk/listing/980519203/
The death of the VB started when I could no longer read the text on my phone on Vital Arena app. I knew eventually that it would shut down since the DiMs were expensive to ship and the device was not marketed to the masses very well, if at all.
It was inevitable but doesn’t mean the device is dead. Once cyanic releases the source code for the vb series after 30th September we should see a lot of possibilities like fan made apps and softwares, gampley changes and so forth. Can’t wait to see what is possible once the source code in released
The update is not available after the 30th of September so that probably why you can enter app. If your on android you can easily find the updated app online but iOS I’m not sure how to side load or if you can side load.
Does anyone know if their will be a way to back up your digimon without the Bandi ID backup? Like if you were to get a new phone is their no way to transfer your digimon to the new phone now?
What I did was keep both apps active and move over with the vital bracelet be 2 new app on new phone can send 3 at a time iirc. it was a long process but that’s the only way since the online features will be gone.
That would be a great thing but knowing Bandai they most probably won’t 😭 BUT I’m sure someone from the fan base will make some sort of game now that the vital bracelet is technically discontinued.
The encounter battles mod is for the vital bracelet BE and it is applied via sd card as the dim card slot reads sd cards. After it’s applied you can hold C to battle without nfc touch. If you have an older series of the vb then will have to wait for cyanic to release an upgrade memory update. You can find a upgrade memory on veak.design it’s a add on for the vital pet mod
@@DigitalWorldOrder I actually just checked they're out of stock everywhere. The only place I can find that might be able to get more is Amazon for $179
Bamco be like: "Let's replace the old app with this pretty crappy one... Let's also shut it down shortly after" 😢😂😅 Why does Bamco hate everything so much.
Ikr? It’s silly they got rid of labs and isn’t lets us keep that in offline format. Here’s to hoping the modding community create something even better maybe app or pc software. Cyanic is close to releasing the keys to the kingdom.
@@Miksy51 oh they know how to sell things just don’t put much money into digimon for advertising and marketing that’s the main issue. They are really tight with money for digimon vpets and now seems like they do the same with games. Tcg is the only one they throw money at 😂
Cyanic will be releasing everything he didn’t wanna release before (due to legal issues) so that will open the door and soon we will see vb mons on w0rld or a standalone w0rld for vb. after the 30th September the key of the vb kingdom will be shared. ✊
While I don’t think was too much of a mistake (the real mistake was getting rid of vb labs app) it definitely should have been vs card compatible and really annoyed me it wasn’t. If only they could have update the original VB to VBBE software that would have been better then the BE release imo.
Sorry, in my case I bought the vb a long time ago, I'm just returning due to time issues, 6 months ago, I'm from Latin America so I don't understand the video much, ah, lack of my knowledge of English, in short, the app is going to close but it goes away Ah, keep using or I'm honestly lost.
The app for storage of digimon is staying as long as you update when new update comes in August but the online features like battles, events and Bandai ID backup will be gone on 30th September. After this you can only store digimon and get items from app. Hope you can understand this if not let me know what your language is and I will use google to explain for your better understanding.
@@DigitalWorldOrder Don't worry, I was able to completely understand everything, I use the translator, thank you for answering me, I had my doubts because Digimon is a series that I have loved a lot since I was little and I finally bought a product and this happens but well, I'll see when Bandai comes out, anyway Thank you very much for the information.
Tbh im amazed that the VB lasted so long like the concept just lackes so much from the original Digivices
I liked the vb series but I agree with the lack of features made each dim kinda repetitive. Hopefully now we can get some gameplay mods.

Now we have to figure out how to use the virtual wear app without the official vital bracer or vb arena
I’m sure once September the 30th and cyanic releases the source code and other stuff many people will be working on different thing, gameplay mods, apps and more 😃
Now I'll start modding my many many VBs.
I definitely recommend you do! It keeps the device alive. Still use my vb till this day!

Tbh they just need to make a app for iOS and android make a peripheral for the dims and it would be 1000x better

Least you can still use the app for storage.

Hell yeah!!!!! I’m still using the vb in many formats (mods)! Still one of my favourite devices
But I can’t even enter the app

@@DigitalWorldOrder That kind of sucks but at least you can do it
I hope we get a global digimon game that uses the vital series
That would be a great thing but knowing Bandai they most probably won’t 😭 BUT I’m sure someone from the fan base will make some sort of game now that the vital bracelet is technically discontinued.
What's the encounter mod again? Does it come in a dim card or?
