well, I tried downloading skarlett from the marketplace and it worked. costed me 400 extra points though. I'm probably out of luck in getting those points refunded, but seriously... if you get teased with a dlc character and then experience an issue that causes it to be inaccessible, it should qualify me to be refunded those 400pts imo.

You shouldn't have bought her. MS does not do refunds. You will have to see if NRS can do a refund, but as far as I am aware, unless NRS sends you a check, you won't get a refund from them either. They aren't getting anymore of my money, that is for damn sure. If you spent 1200 for the pack and 400 more for skarlet, you will end up paying 1600 which makes the season pass pointless.
 
Talk about whiny motherfuckers. This could be something to do with the whole Season Pass thing. Just chill the fuck out and let them sort it out. I'm upset that it's screwed up too, but if it's a widespread problem, I'm sure they will find a solution.

Yeah guys, please try to be patient. I know this inconvenience comes at a very inconvenient and unfortunate time, but please hang tight. NRS is reading this and all of your replies/concerns. Hang tight.
Glad they're reading this, but what are they going to do about it? I'm not an impatient person, nor am I irrational with impossible expectations.... but I ended up downloading skarlett from the market place just so I wouldn't fall behind in learning her. Am I going to get some type of credit? I understand NRS advises to avoid downloading from the MP in order to avoid being charged twice... but when their own method of paid downloads isn't working, it's sort of like being expected to take self help advice from an unemployed sex offender suffering from bipolar disorder and depression.

That's great and all but when money is involved it's not considered whining. But hey, if you want to pay me $20 to stop "whining", I'll be happy to take it.
 
Agreed. I'll stop being a "whiny motherfucker" when I get my 20 dollars back or get what I paid for. I also called MS and they told me they were experiencing some Marketplace and DLC issues and should be fixed in the next few hours (hopefully).

I think I'm mainly pissed because here I am paying 20$ for something while a bunch of others out there are playing Skarlet for free right now for some reason while my price was jacked up to 1200 pts.


Just gave it an hour or so and it's still the same. I'll keep you guys updated.

For sure, Im mainly pissed that i dropped that 20 Bucks... And kids are being able to use her for free. I just wish NRS would announce that they ARE going to help us, so i know i didnt just throw 20$ away.

Agreed. An announcement and possibly even a timeframe would be awesome instead of leaving us in the dark.


Edit: Okay guys. I just went and downloaded the Compatibility Pack from the MS Marketplace and it's letting me play Skarlet for free now along with the classic costumes. Go give it a shot, it's the last we can get while waiting for our official thing.

In the event that NRS are reading this:

Give Reptile some other option besides the NJP for his big ticket combos, he's completely reliant on this strictly timed move, yet even the slightest amount of input delay essentially deems him unplayable in his advanced combo department. You could actually make further attempts to polish the netcode, but I see it more likely that you'll simply give him another option.

I'm aware this has nothing to do with the thread topic but I had to reply to this.
It's players like you that makes good/decent games shitty. Learn to play the game and stfu OMG INTERNETZZ

wow I think it's completely polite to hijack a thread from people who have legitimate financial concerns in order to grace us with your inane requests to buff an S teir character.

Maybe next time you can take it to the next level, and find an obituary to complain about the cost of grave stones on.

Mind explaining pianoing?

Edit: P.S. sorry for staying off topic, but reptile is my alt so and I am having trouble finding explanations/tutorials for some of the more advanced fighting game techniques. So I had to ask.

Guys, trust me. I play the shit out of the character, try the NJP online. It's ass. It's ass for all the characters, but it's especially ass for Reptile because he's reliant on it. This character is not playable online in my sincere opinion. This has nothing to do with tier lists or anything to that degree. Offline it works just fine, online it's shit. The only reason I mentioned giving him a different option for his NJP is because we all know that NRS will be happier to give him that then fix the fuckin' netcode; I've given up that hope, as should every last one of you.

And just to clarify, I do plink 1 and 2. I know how to do it, and it's bound to muscle memory offline, this does not transfer to online in the least. I'm not 'asking for more alternatives' I just want the strictly timed NJP to fuckin' work online. I don't enjoy playing basic Reptile online and having to resort to alternating between dash and slide because I cannot pull off his big ticket combos.

Online is shit, can we really debate this? But it pisses me off when all I can get out of it is the most basic of match up experience.

The big error in your judgement here, is assuming any of us care about online play. I play online for practice when I can't find real life opponents. And I still take online play with a grain of salt because I know that netcode severely effects the mechanics of the game. If they start basing patches on online play, then offline play will be broken quickly. And no one who is interested in fighting games, especially at the tournament level, cares about online play for anything more then practice.

So take online complaints elsewhere. MLG forums humor that stuff.

Edit: And sorry if that was rather harsh, but I am crabby due to throwing 15 dollars away today with nothing to show for it so far.

Reptile has more than enough to abuse from the netcode. Your fast moves, such as your jabs, slide, elbow dash, acid spit and fast forceball even give Smoke problems, and he's built against that. Please don't think the online is hurting you because it really isn't.

Sorry for the thread derailment I had to respond to this.

I don't blame you, in the least, I'd be pissed the fuck off too.

@subzerosmokerai: you are correct, in the assessment of his specials, however I'd actually like to do his combos.

if you go to the xbox dashboard now and download skarlet from there she will be the correct free price if you have downloaded the season pass. ppl are still working on the ingame one showing up the incorrect price.
Redownloading the newer compatibility pack that was posted recently should also resolve the classic/alts desync issues online if both players have the new data.
 
Thought I would point this out to all but this is not the first time a pass has come out. There seems to be online passes for every new game and now games are doing dlc passes. There's a thing called the Rockstar Pass that came shortly after LA Noire was released. It has 4 pieces of dlc at a discounted price. Not only that but there were problems with it the first couple days it came out. Whats going on with the kombat pass is the same thing that happened with rockstar pass. Just pointing that out that its been a problem before.

they're not talking about the kombat pass. they're talking about the season pass. and i need to know that i can download it without going through all the bullshit everyone else is going through. in any case does anyone know how long the season pass will be up for, because it said somewhere it's a limited time only deal.
