Using AI in injustice was pretty much a win fight pass. Not always of course, but if you had a max level batman (which is easy to get) with good gear (which you get for beating the story) and invest your points wisely (look it up on the internet) your AI becomes pretty much impossible to beat no matter the stage hazards. I'm pretty sure multiverse docks points for using an AI but it's not enough to matter.

Wow you're not wrong. I just set my Noob AI to be 30 on combos, 10 rushdown, 10 zoning, 10 runaway and it bodied Geras again.

Wipe this thread guys. This changes everything. Towers of Time might as well be called Towers of AI.

EDIT: My AI just unlocked brutal difficulty for that fight. But you can't use AI on Brutal

So after playing the game since midnight and taking time to reflect, I’m sad to say that my worst fears came true.

From a gameplay standpoint MK 11 is fine. I liked the jungle heavy gameplay of MK9 and X better but it’s still fun. That being said, I’m a single player gamer, and I feel defeated.

The KRYPT and Towers of Time and ... well the entire customization of the game is clearly designed around micro transactions. I don’t care how many switches they flip, these features were CLEARLY centered around money and not entertainment. I beat story mode and did some tutorials to try and earn some gold to try out in the krypt. I ended up with around 250k which gave me about 10 minutes of chest opening time in the Krypt, most of which was getting consumables and crafting items.

They couldn’t just have you play the game, earn Koins and unlock stuff, they had to throw in all that mobile game bullshit.

My heart is broken. I have been loyal to this franchise since MK 1 in the arcades. To me MK isn’t just about the fighting, it’s about the lore and the story. After dropping $100 on this game and seeing the shit show that is the krypt and towers, I’m done. I stopped buying the Smackdown / WWE game because of this shit, stopped buying Battlefield because of this shit, and stopped buying COD because of this shit,

I just hope that the money WB makes off of people dumb enough to buy time crystals can make up for the loyal fans they lost with their EA / ACTIVISION levels of fuckery.

I’ll still enjoy watching story mode and ladder endings on YouTube for MK12, but there is no sense in buying a game when they suck the fun out of the single player experience.

*Side note, I know TYM is more of a competitive board and most people on here don’t care about single player, but this is the most happening place to talk MK. I just hope NRS / WB knows that they delivered a krushing blow to my heart. Literally ruined MK for me.

I was laughing so hard. Beat Story mode, got 100k for it. As soon as I got into the Krypt, it gave me another 100k. That was gone in about 15 minutes.

The amount of money you get for beating the 5 hour story mode is the same amount of money you get for just starting the Krypt mode.

I feel for you. I primarily play online but I do enjoy single player modes in fighting games. I've only been a serious player since 09 and SF4. But I've been playing single player modes against the CPU since I was a child at age 9.

After reading your post I'm changing the title of this thread. Let this be a general place for discussion for people interested in these single player modes. Let this be for other users to come and vent and discuss the changes Nrs does make. Since this thread has served it's original purpose

Yeah, so not much changed since the hotfix. Most of the modifiers, while no longer instakills, are still a nuisance to work around with. Especially when there are several active ones. They no longer seem unblockable anymore, though. Can anyone confirm?

Also, I witnessed zero changes to the krypt. Spend about 400k joins 800 souls and a meager 350 hearts.

I dont think anything changed in the towers. The unblockable modifiers were still unblockable last I checked. If you wanna test play any tower with missiles in it. So far every missile has been unblockable

Reddit is fuming after Max's video. Such a pity to see such an amazing game getting bogged down with this bullshit.

Like I said yesterday, it's the difficulty that needs to be addressed, first and foremost.

So this is new. Based on all the towers I've played thus far, you cant see the CPU assist cooldowns unless they are using a 3 slot assist where a character from the roster appears on screen to do the move.

But also, the CPU till now follows the same slot restrictions that you did. For example if they had Jacqui assist, since its 3 slots they wouldn't have anything else with her.

But in this video, we see the CPU using what seems to be 5 or 6 slot worth of assists - Jacqui, Takeda and Kung Jin. At the same time, the player can see the cooldowns on these assists. If you've seen my Baraka video, you might've noticed that the king Jin and Takeda cooldowns weren't visible in that one.

I like the latter change. Must've been done recently.

sigh Im hearing mostly BAD things about the single player experience besides the story. Apparently Maximillion had mostly negative things about the grind of the random Krypt loot that he rather stick with Loot boxes. I know hes like one of the King of casuals but with somebody of major influence in the FGC, this is veeeery bad :(

Good for him. The Towers shouldn't only be intended for tournament level players only.

Apparently just saw this post on Reddit and i think these tips might help with the grind. If somebody else can confirm this, that be Rightoeus :)

I have this game since thursday and about 30 hours into it, let me give you guys some hints on how to improve your experience if you already have the game now already:



- Play the character tutorial with your favourite characters, they teach you almost nothing but completing them nets you a skin for the fighter, often a cool one

- Crypt may be not completely random, I have the theory that the heart chests are set for everyone, see this post https://www.reddit.com/r/MortalKombat/comments/bewh77/_/eliww9i
- If you're stuck in a tower and want that loot, click "AI fighter" when choosing your character, the AI will control your dude now making it a manager game. AI fighter is really strong, I recommend putting more points into combos and reversal (when creating loadout under AI behaviour)

- You can kinda afk farm that game this way, just need to click "Kontinue" after every fight

- AI battle can sometimes also reward you skins, drops are random

- You can get character specific gear by doing the character only tower, which you can unlock with 25,000 per fighter. Tower rewards will mostly be 2 skins, and gear pieces, completing it completely give you intro or victory scenes. They are hard though, I havent completed one entirely yet, even my AI fighter cant win.

You can switch tower groups to a different character, progress in between towers is saved (completed towers, not stages)

- In the crypt, almost all chests over 10,000 contain a skin. if you just want brutalities or fatalities, I recommend going mostly for the chests in the 6,000-8,000 category, I think I got most out of those.

- You can change inverted camera for the crypt in options only in main menu.

I thought the changes were already up so I blew all my koins lol. Ah well...

Ih I also checked how much it costs to reset the boxes. 1000 koins for 1 box. This is too much

I think it was someone here that mentioned it but I’m real curious how these chests work.

Could we, in theory, just stay in the first area, never progress but keep resetting the chests and get everything?

I don't think so. The 250 heart chests with Shao's head on them give 6 character rewards including brutals and skins. I think those are static rewards you get only from them, but the character per chest might be random.
