Well that new lobby is a bit confusing...
L2 to see everyone who is in the lobby.
X to say you're ready. O to withdraw.
Square for menu. Game is really loud while in a party chat, so thankfully you can change ingame volume settings from the lobby.
Timers are REALLY short. So when you're on the line for a match, press X quickly or you'll get kicked.
Spectating also doesn't work automatically while you're waiting for matches, and you can't start spectating in the middle of a match (like in 5). Press R3 to do so. Badly made there.

Yea the lobbies are weird. Fingers crossed the next lobby update changes and improves some things.
Biggest thing I've noticed so far is the netcode being a lot more unstable than 5 in lobbies.
You get used to the other new commands otherwise, but:
- timer should be way longer
- the winner of the lobby should be in "ready" mode by default
edit: good games everyone! That was a fun first DOA6 lobby in the end.

I'd like to get in tonight, on PC. Won't be home til like 7:00 PDT Though.
Missed the top 8 due to timing, but interesting results:
Also, new interview from Dengeki with Shimbori. From what I got with google translate:
General stuff
- he's now focusing on his producer role rather than director since the game is out, easier to deal with all the feedback coming
- they acknowledge their mistakes with the costumes drop rates, thought it wouldn't be as repetitive during development (was done because they thought players would enjoy going from task to task), and are glad players are happy with the new drop rate.
- thinking about how to use the "owner points" (not sure if they're talking about costume pieces or coins) in the future, potentially with free costumes or at least a way to get paid costumes (paid costumes will still be the main thing like in DOA5 due to its success).
- "new season passes will add characters expected by Team NINJA fans". Don't want to confirm when SP2 will happen (my guess is just second half of the year).
F2P and lobbies
- F2P version was supposed to be released at launch. Development issues led to the delay. They wanted it out asap so casuals/beginners could play together from the start. They acknowledge the bad communication around it (would have been better if it was said on the official site rather than in an interview).
- Considering boosting the number of "owner points" earned depending on the number of characters you own.
- Over 500k downloads of the F2P version so far, similar growth to the free version released with DOA5U.
- They're really sorry about the lobby mode delay, and glad it's finally out. They had to add staff from other projects to help on it. Main issues were bugs, and certifications to be sure it released on all platforms at the same time.
- Unable to start spectating a match when it has already started (unlike DOA5) because they've noticed it was adding lag to players.
- Text chat will be a full text chat as usual, and not a symbol/quick message chat like in other fighting games out there.
Balance updates
- focus for now is about the sidestep complaints. Mostly appreciated by beginners and westerners, but many people complaining about it too.
- balancing characters is always hard, and hope people don't take it badly if something is nerfed, as it's taken in consideration with a large amount of players in mind.
- esports stuff mostly about the world tour rather than anything else
Final message
edit: the FSD forum's reactions to this interview are pretty shitty.

I'm not sure why you expected that when it's a japanese interview and where people can buy them individually lol. They don't expect western players to read this interview in the first place.
That seems to be one of the core assumptions for their PR for this game, if the differences between how the game was marketed in NA and in Asia is any indication. Seems to escape them that there are Western gamers and journalists that do in fact pay attention to what they're doing in Japan.
That's sadly the case for a lot of japanese companies, and KT is one of the biggest offenders :/
Its going to take an "A realm reborn" type overhaul to salvage this game. Slow content drip and patches won't cut it when MK11 is about the hit the ground running and steamroll DOA6's already putrid momentum.
this framing really has been weird. Outside of lobbies and the costume unlock system the launch package of the game was fine. Both of those are fixed now and the actual $60 package is pretty damn good.
Now we just need the fuckmothering DLC issue fixed.

Damn, you sound like DOA kicked your dog. It's not a bad game at all. It could use a bit more content to really flesh it out (more intros and outros please), but its a solid game. Not sure why it can't co-exist with MK11. I don't plan on buying MK11. And I'm sure most people that buy MK11 probably never considered buying DOA6. Same genre but very different audiences.
I've been really liking this game. Such a great distraction from Sekiro. Whenever I get burnt out on Sekiro I jump into some DOA6 matches online. I'm a filthy casual but I'm having a lot of fun. I bitch about wanting DLC - and I do want to purchase individual costumes, but I still haven't unlocked all the costumes I want for the characters I play. I've just been playing as one character online, unlocking all their costumes, then moving on to another one. Just finished up with Lei Fang last night. She was difficult to win with at first but the more I used her the more I liked her. I ended last night with a 6 win streak, my best yet. Now I need to start a new character, Kasumi, Hitomi, or Honoka is next.
You guys should know the usual suspects.
Lobby Footage from our weekend lobby.
We have lobbies every weekend so everyone pn PS4 can join in our lobbies.
For roll calls check here or the discord. It will primarily be in the discord way before the lobby is set up.

I can probably start hosting PC lobbies and putting them on my stream. I've streamed a good bit of ranked already.

Atleast PC don't have as bad of input delay/buffer. So that's something atleast.
Anyone know how the Nearby region setting works for lobbies? USEast and West considered nearby?
I'll try to join but I have family visiting from out of town. I might not make it.
I understand that some people don't have a choice when it comes to wireless, but it really makes the poor netcode stand out even more. I only accept 5 bar connections (which generally drop to 4 bars), and there's a significant difference between playing someone on wifi and someone on LAN.
Yeah I have an electrician coming out next weekend to do a bunch of work on my 100 year hold home and new cable outlet in my office is on the list. I'll hop on when I get wired.
The more I play this game, the more I think it has the worst netcode of the series. Maybe it's not entirely on the netcode, but the input buffer, input delay and netcode combine to make this such a bad experience if you're trying to be even the least bit competitive. It doesn't help that almost everyone I run into at S rank or higher is just spamming online tactics. Super frustrating.
Looks like they are detailing the April DLC this Sunday at 8pm CEST. Came from DOA official twitter. I'm excited to see what they are offering but I probably wont get it unless I can buy individual costumes.
Can you buy the outfits from the season pass as individual items on PS4? I am thinking of moving from Xbox to PS4 but I don't want to buy the whole season pass again. But if I could just get outfits for like 4 or 5 of my favorites, I think I want to double-dip and change platforms.
No. They deliberately only let Xbox and JP/HK PS4 users do so (and refuse to explain why).
Huh. That's weird. Thanks for letting me know. I might just change platforms anyway but they're leaving money on the table if they don't let us buy outfits a la carte.
Before the top 8 at the Mix Up. That's a cool thing to make people watch more esports.
Btw, it already leaked through store descriptions
pirate costumes for everyone
Aight, PC Lobby up, under my same name as here. Stream running but will actually start it once I get anyone in. Join up
Thanks for setting it up. Can't play now but checked quickly and I can see yours from USWest even though you are USEast and set Region to Same, nice!
