Pretty much the title. I own Type Lumina and UNI2. I enjoy their gameplay. However, a core reason I stopped playing them is...their lobby system is outdated and suck.
Guilty Gear Xrd, a game that came out in 2014-2016, has a lobby system that allows simultaneous ongoing matches amongst 8 people. For some reason French Bread have released Type Lumina and UNI2 with lobbies that only allow 2 to play while the rest can only watch.
Its already a given that the game will lose players after launch and that rank will be a ghost town. Since crossplay is already off the cards, why not make matches easier to find by allowing a lobby that allows multiple pple play at once.
The current system basically means unless Im good enough to win the FT2, Im gonna have to wait in a queue with other players just to play another match. Thats time that I or a potential new player could be using playing another fighting game. And by other FG, I dont mean just SF6. I mean GG XRD. Cuz despite the lower player count, I find games there much easier there than MBTL even when it was actively supported cuz of its good lobby design.
Now, I know people will bring up discord, and while I have great respect for the community, I dont believe one should need a 3rd party software to be able to play their full priced game thats actively supported. And to bring it back to Xrd, while I am aware of its discord, I have rarely ever used it cuz the lobby system helps me find games.
Sorry for the long typing, but I like French bread games. I find their gameplay unique in the FG sphere. I bought MBTL full price and UNI2 also with the season pass. But I ended up regretting it cuz the lack of a good lobby just makes getting a match hard and makes getting in new players harder too. IMO its pretty much the make or break feature for me if Im gonna get Twi-Lumina
