Krypt in MK11 is Rigged Content Drip and is an Embarrassment for a MK Game

It literally gives you stuff that NRS and WB want to give you. I refreshed the Krypt for 3rd time few days ago and was opening every chest again yesterday. My first few chests had few concept arts, few gear pieces and one icon. Everything and i repeat everything else after that was consumables and augments. 95% of the chests on my 3rd refresh were consumables and augments, nothing else!

I am still missing a lot of concept arts, music, icons, profile icons, backgrounds, gear that is listed as "found in the Krypt"...

I was just running around like a fool, wasting my time on opening the whole thing for the 3rd time for the same, duplicate augments and useless consumables that i already have a ton of.

I am not sure is it the same thing with every refresh or do you only get few new items once NRS and WB DECIDES to give them to you but either way this is just embarrassing and i honestly can't believe that after one year and opening everything for the 3rd time i still have so many locked items. The way Krypt "works" in this game is such and joke for the gaming industry and MK franchise, but i am not even surprised anymore.

i think its time related and nothing to do with refreshes.

i had the exact same experience not too long ago. But in general its the diminishing return feature causing all this it is rigged like that no question.
WB wont do a thing to change it actually they kept nerfing the krypt as much possible every patch. to make it slower and harder to obtain stuff. Soul chest dont give gold koins anymore just augments,you barely or almost never get koins at all now from chests also. They want you to grind towers and pay for krystals thats about it.

I agree, WB's grasp on the game has to loosen a little, while from game to game it looks like it's getting tighter and tighter. I am afraid they are slowly hijacking the entire franchise to promote films and sell dlc characters, skins and such... Which is greedy, it's up to us the fans to NOT PARTICIPATE in purchasing Krystals, Maybe not buying thr entire Kombat Packs and just the characters we want to make a point, since at the end of the day they only increase their hold of the game because the money we put* into it allows them to.

I will not buy the entire KP even tho you get to play the characters a week early... I can "suffer" not playing the characters a week early. I always bought the KP ahead of time, in INJ2 and in MKX and MK11's KP1.
But I have learned my lesson!

I just want to say that I've refreshed the Krypt in full only once, and I have all the Music, and I recently got much of the concept art for Environments and Props and such. Still missing a fair amount for characters.

There is indeed diminishing returns, but I do think there's randomness to it as well.

The Krypt and Towers of Time still make me think that WB/NRS had something else in mind for them. Like, some mobile type of stupid shit. There's no reason anyone should not have 100% of everything in the game after a year of playing it if they were trying to do such.

RNG doesn't belong here.

Problem is, it's not even RNG. It's really not and it's been proven many times. It's when NRS and WB decide to give you something.

A lot of characters concept arts are other items are still locked no matter how many times you refresh the Krypt.
If it's not rigged can you tell me how can i unlock everything? Do i need to refresh it 89 times and play for 6 years?

Does no one have said missing concept art, etc? Like, no one. It hasn't ever been unlocked naturally (ie not using the unlocker on PC).

I know you're not being literal with the "89 times" and "play for 6 years" bit, but if RNG is involved, don't be surprised if it did.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for NRS/WB to make it this difficult to unlock this stuff, whether it's by their decision or shit RNG.

With all respect, I have three versions of the game, and there are indeed windows where stuff magically starts giving you real stuff every time you open things, and then quickly devolves into only augments in consumables.

I've used different the time rewind to refill stuff not just once, twice, trice, but probably a hundred times minimum to refill the krypt at various stages of openness. When the Krypt says "no I'm not giving you anymore" it's serious, and then you come in one day after weeks and suddenly everything is a brutality, or missing gear for 3 or 4 minutes before it goes back to giving you nothing but augments and consumables.

Microtransactions. They don't want to ruin their game by making them invasive but they still want their money from whales aka unhealthy and irresponsible consumers. If you unlock all of the gear in Krypt in a consistent way, then you won't spend money on widely overpriced time crystals.

It's hardly the worst case of such monetization practices but they sacrificed some quality of their game by building it with microtransactions in mind, again.

This isn't Halo 5 with questionable microtransactions but had no paid DLC and a dramatic amount of free updates. NRS is gonna sell more then the game's price of DLC.

They literally modeled customization for characters to be microtransaction based. You can see that. Time Crystals. They were meant to be currency you buy to unlock stuff faster. Turns out you would anger entire playerbase if you did that,but they just lowered frustration that shouldn't even exist by making them be earned at faster pace with just playing. I still have 70% of stuff to unlock in this game. Its insane. Luckily I main Raiden and unlocked most of stuff I want for him,including Kombat League skins which are FIRE. For other people,I really dont know what to say,I am disappointed as you are,at least the game is fun to play! :)

Imagine how amazing the Krypt would be if there was just one currency and everything was set. Literally the Krypt would be perfect i love how detailed it is and how there are fun little mini games BUT DEAR GOD WHY ARE THERE SOULS, HEARTS, AND COINS?!

I needed to play with my friend,I am triggering spells on keyboard while he controls the character just for us to be fucking 5k HP boss at launch,it was truly miserable. Right now tho,I literally dont have complaints.

i dont remember NRS promising shit, they said some stuff back in mkx adding story dlc and never did it but they havent promised it.

But anyway WB greed is a bit too strong , the mobile formula doesnt work well in a AAA game. MK9 had the best unlock system of all NRS games fuck the krypt and fuck the towers of time.

well the fans, mostly being the casuals, and even a good amount of people here gladly dropped that quick 100 on mk11 plus the season pass. season passes for fighting games are mostly a scam when they don't want to tell you what's in it. the cycle will continue.

I guess you're right, but then again if we make sure to encourage the non casuals to buy individual characters it will have an effect, it's true that we are accustomed to divide the players by hardcore and casuals but there are those in the middle, a lot of them are on twitter, forums etc.
So even as a social experiment it's worth trying!

On a side note, WB should make a WB fighting game with a few MK and INJ characters. and leave MK alone!

It was called Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. It didn't do too well, but well enough to convince Warner Brother Interactive Entertainment to hire many of the defunct Midway team employees and create NetherRealm Studios.
