how does simple match matchmaking work? i rarely get anybody above my rank. highest was next rank with a minus, but that's rare. it will be hard finding people like that in the future.
I have a question about it: I just started to play ranked (I spend most of the time in lobbies with my friends) and I noticed - after I lost a couple of matches out of the few I fought - the game didn't take any of my points back... It's like +0 points when I lose and +n points if I win.
Is that how it works?
Ranked is completely broken. You lose points at higher levels, but no way near enough.
I see. I'm still miserably E, so I guess there's a long way for me to experience any kind of points' loss.

You start losing points at around D.

Yes they should, but they have a hard on for $$$.
My wallets glad theres no new bikini DLC.
Mine is kind of worried, since I see at least 2 costumes I like per pack.

The patch addresses this thankfully.
It's just costumes, so shouldn't deter anyone. Will buy them all because I'm a completionist.
I thought Soulcalibur V's prices were okish, it was usually only 2 costumes for 180 points give or take, but they were in mix-and-match pieces and anybody (almost) could wear them. You can edit their colours and patterns too.
TN is crazy with these prices though, you can't trap people in micro transactions if you don't make those transactions micro!

The good thing with SC5 is that it was more than costumes, it was items you could use in the editor to produce many new creations. It makes any simple pack more valuable than full on costumes.
Anyway, the biggest mistake TN made is not to offer compatibility packs (AFAIK) for those who don't buy new costumes. First it makes it less interesting for those who buy the packs, knowing that most people won't see their costumes, and second they lose an opportunity of advertising their packs online (I don't count how many time I got messages like "hey how did you get the fairy wings ?" in SCV).

DLC Pack 3 to be micro bikinis.

HUm i think they are confident they'll sell even at those prices
I didn't care, but now I wonder what's written in there - at least it's always the same characters repeated in different colors.
I like that they separated the "fetish" (catgirl and waitress stuff) outfits from the rest, I might get the third pack - is that demonic form for Hayabusa a reference to one of the recent NG games? I recall something in trailers about his hand being all red and cursed (which seems to be referenced in his defeat pose in DoA5), I guess that at some point in the game that spreads to the rest of his body?...
I prefer Christie's suit where you can have her wear a helmet - I think I'm starting to understand the Team Fortress 2 guys, I wouldn't mind being able to put Tina's cowboy hat on her every suit (I'd gladly trade that for a brunette option though).
An Ayane and Eliot version of Rose & Camellia.

just a stack of costumes. i can do without them, it's just additional eye candy. the game is complete, enjoy it.
LOL. You guys all just sound like you're mad it's not free. The costumes aren't overpriced and bundles aren't for massive savings. Letting you keep $5 when they want you to spend $15 would be stupid. That $13 price for the bundle is typical. That's a deal. Pricing the bundle at $10 would undercut their own sales.

I'll just try to unlock the ingame costumes for now...
Am I from crazy town or is this crazy?
Oh hell no, its not that bad, lol.
I spent $9.99 for just one of Sophie's School costume in Tales of Graces f. This is ok in comparison. At least I'm getting a stack of costumes. Normally I don't mind sticking it to the man and expressing discontent about many stupid stuff in this generation but this doesn't seem that bad.
Need a compat patch though.

Sega's two $15 packs in VF5FT are in a completely fucking different league than those other dudes
That's because you get like 1,000 items for like 8 characters each in those packs.
Also LMAO @ the price for those outfits. Ninja you serious?:

1000 items, lol, more like a 100 with a bunch of recolors.
Still offers more options than Lei-Fang's panties. Step it up, Team Ninja.

You're not paying for panties. . . yet. . .
You're crazy; this is reality. A lot of people ITT either never buy DLC or haven't been paying attention this generation. There's examples of over-pricing, but this is not one.

There's one, in DOA5 ? I didn't know that. Not that I would want to hide her face
but it never hurts to change her appearance from time to time.Doesn't matter if they're recolors. Quantity > Money in this case.
100 recolors for 8 characters that pans out to 1,000 items for 8 characters > 1 outfit for 4 characters that bundles into 3 outfits (for one character) and 1 oufit (for 6 others) for 6 characters.
I think this week's DLC costume will be standard setting.
3 sets with 4 costumes each with respective price, 4th pack containing pack1-3 for little discount.
I am almost certain this costume will be out 10/30.
This is the format they'll release them in, definitely. Where's that pic from, anyway? FSD?
from Dengeki, Japanese video game site.
first time I saw the pic, I thought it was some fan made fake picture.
Doesn't XBL update Tuesday night/wednesday mornings?

It's just a construction site helmet/hard hat, like Rig tells her to wear when they first meet in Story mode IIRC - doesn't hide her face, but looks funny on her without going into silly territory, just hold the left trigger button while selecting her white suit.
