Every time I decide to visit Twitter to check on the things people are wanting. I can't help but get frustrated with the position this community resides in. I don't believe everyone thinks the same way, in fact I think the majority of people on this forum understand and respect DOA for what it is. We all love costumes, and is it wrong to request them? Absolutely not. I just feel that's all Team Ninja thinks we want.
It's because when people like us on the forum try to think outside the box and request something like Game balancing or tweaks to the gameplay that can give this game a better god damn view to non players, it gets overshadowed by the insane amount of requests for shit like costumes.
I have a feeling we will get another classic stage returning. However I feel sorry for the passionate people of this community wanting to change DOA for the better. The general population request and get greedy, once they get what they want, they are back on twitter asking for the next thing on their list of "1000 things Team Ninja need to do for me"
Like I said, I believe this game was heading in a good direction in ALPHA. Things was looking good, but I believe the general population fucked us over on a good game in the making, and scared TN back to their old routes, they wanted a less sexualised game, but fans wasn't having that, either way is fine to me but, to me that makes me believe they was heading in a new direction, sadly we didn't really get to see it. That said I'm still hype for 5U I want to play with the 5 new characters. Hoping for another classic stage to return, hoping the gameplay is more organized, have my doubts but whatever. All in all I feel sorry for the people who seriously play DOA, the things that really matter always get backtracked.
I swear sometimes I wish I was part of Team Ninja. So I could fucking please everyone with their costume requests, and also focus on the aspects of the game. (Gameplay, Balancing, Changing it for the better and adding innovative things to make people want to be excited to play. I also wouldn't let another DOA5 stage disaster happen again.
It's like wet effects was a good idea but not fully structured, when peoples hair gets wet it should change its form or style, Jann lees hair should go down. There should be a stage where you fight with a waterfall that you can pass through fully soaking the character. Clothes should be alive and not static.
I dunno say Bayman's white shirt if he gets roughed up enough like get blasted off a tier stage knocked into walls, knocked through glass, crap like that, his buttons should come undone and his shirt should be open and pretty much falling off. With the girls there clothes should become loser as if they are falling off. I mean shit that would please you costume fans, seeing your character in your fav suit and you get to mess it up. Obviously have an option to turn on and off for it.
Overall, There's so many things TN can do well but they just don't wth are they afraid of.
