Dead or Alive Online Patch

[Jin Masters]

Team Ninja mentioned on their Twitter last week that they were working on a patch to update Dead or Alive 5's online functions to fix some of the issues that had been reported from consumers.

Today, they noted that the patch is currently undergoing the certification progress by Microsoft and Sony and once completed it would be released.

In the past we've seen certification process take quite a bit of time as the companies do a ton of extensive testing, but it seems Team Ninja is looking to have it out in the near future

It'd be interesting if they snuck in a few nerfs

 

[Prince Adon]

If they going to do that just buff some characters instead.

 

[kupo]

I wonder if by online functions they are referring to additional online features or the netcode as well. I hope it's the latter...

 

[Omegan Eckhart]

It's just the netcoding, there is no way they got a balance patch done already.

 

[TheTHCGamer]

Im pretty sure there referring to the online glitches when it comes to matcmaking for example the lobbies and i hope they mean netcode however i wouldnt be surprised if it was just a patch to fix glitches.

 

[DR2K]

It's just the netcoding, there is no way they got a balance patch done already.

They changed all the pluses in the frame data to minuses = TN balance.

He doesn't need any nerfs...

It's just the netcoding, there is no way they got a balance patch done already.

Tell that to DoA4.

NO ONE NEEDS NERFS. JUST BUFF THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT.

 

[MasterHavik]

Zack could use the stuff he is entitled to. The stuff he had that were new things for in the other builds.

 

[TheTHCGamer]

I really hope this patch improves how the game plays online not just fixes some of the glitches.

 

[MasterHavik]

Yeah a workable netcode will finally make me start doing more with the game.

 

[Prince Adon]

Havik, we should play some. We can do a before and after(patch) to compare the a**kicking I give you. LOL

 

[MasterHavik]

lol sure. i got only lab tomorrow.

 

[IceMage95]

I hope that the netcode is improved and the various online glitches are fixed. I've had it with people bitching that my internet is crap and calling me cheap because of it. And that sidestep glitch really pisses me off.

Once Jann Lee use his annoying hes pretty much unstoppable & you can't counter hold after that so that makes you want to smash your controller against the wall.

Edit No character needs to be nerf, DOA5 had enough of that shit already.

 

[Omegan Eckhart]

Remove infinite's, sort out Ayane's 66KK4 and remove the OH properties from Jann Lee's Dragon Gunner. He isn't a grappler he shouldn't have this. It would still be good without it's OH properties it just wouldn't be brain dead to use.

 

[EMPEROR_COW]

I think its way too soon and bugs are still being discovered .. but thats just me ... as for the characters, I think its way to early to think of any balances ... id rather wait like 6 months or something ...

however the infinite needs to go, yes...

Ayane's 66KK4 is bad with the netcode but it's honestly not that terrible. Even still I wouldn't mind it not jailing, but I like the moves advantage and such nonetheless, and hell I don't even play Ayane.

The nice thing is it's Mid High though so once they take away the jailing it'll be easy to punish.

 

[Omegan Eckhart]

Don't need 6 months to see some of the issues with balance. I don't think they should do a complete overhaul but some things could be tweaked. Jann Lee's dragon gunner is just too good, I am completely in favour of him getting rewarded for a good read but it doesn't require a good read to land.

Make it so he has to bait you into blocking so he can use it, rather than thinking "well they aren't air born so I will just throw it out". I just hate seeing brain dead game play being rewarded so heavily.
