Sadly Crossplay will never happen it would have to come from NRS not to mention crossplay between PC and PS4 would make X1 players really unhappy. So nope, not gonna happen, not for MK XL at least and its not very likely for IGAU 2.

Huh so that's why my ex runes into run up pressure weren't working. Is there something with his bat? I feel like I can't summon it as they're walking to me in trance anymore and still combo. Guess I could get on the real game and test it out. But the bat takes so long to summon. Haven't played in months though.

The regular trance is shorter now, mostly to nerf the bat but it also affected Sorcerer setups and Warlock timing of the JIPs. EX Trance still doesn the trick IIRC.

EDIT: Just saw it's mentioned in the other post, trance down to +46 from +80, 34 frames cut.

Played a lot tonight, sadly im rusty as hell, it will take some time to get back into it. On the bright side online is finally playable.

Just played it for the very first time since MK4 (PC). I'm so rusty as hell. Will need a lot of time to get used with the keyb again. I found the right PC Video settings to make them 60FPS to play the online smoothly. As Grandmaster I see the same issues like the consoles. I know off by heart the combos, but NOT the keyb, so I'll need some time to find the suitable inputs to feel like MK4.

The keyb inputs are so messy, except of the WASD. Will need time to input them the proper way like the hitboxes.

I play with my ps3 controller in the computer. If you have a controller you can play without keyboard (Xbox controllers plug without aditional software, right now I'm making my PC think the ps3 controller is an xbox one and it works perfectly).
 
I didn't notice it before but Slacked just pointed it to me, this is seen at the end of the opening credits in the current beta (after the WB, NRS and HVS logos):



It's official boys.

QLOC is here to purge us of the HVS crap.
What are they? They seem to be from Poland and CDPR is from Poland and they are the best studio out right now so I'm happy.

Poopbutt.
I faced a really good Kenshi online just now. The connection was fairly good but the game doesn't let you add friends or anything yet. His name was Mr_H~~~~ or some shit. If you see this hit me up man! We'll play more soon.

I have PlayStation consoles. I no longer am associated with XBOX consoles. Will try it out with the PS3. Back in MK4 I used to be good with the keyb there, because I have played Fujin all the time. If I get used with the keyb again, I'll definitely get stronger.

Guys, try to get most of the settings OFF and LOW, and then downgrade the resolution till you get the 60FPS, which is the best FPS data for the online.

Download is being temperamental. Not happening tonight for me I don't think.

I'll just stay up super late and get coffee in the morning. Just got SFV and KOF14, so, incoming gaming gluttony weekend.
 
Guys in he beta my controller setting go back to default with stupid release check on. I've gone into options and even tried saving all 4 custom settings to the way I like it (r1 for block) but when I go back into the match it reverts to default.

Anyone have the same problem??
 
eh, just heard about this, but i honestly can't muster up any enthusiasm at this point. for me it feels a bit too little too late and with the way the whole thing was handled i've just got a bad taste in my mouth. especially since boon's even phrasing it as if we should be thankful.

i dunno, guys, maybe i'll change my mind, but for now it doesn't really change much for me or my buddies. it's definitely still my last ever nrs purchase (since they're most likely releasing it so they can milk the same dazzled playerbase with injustice 2.)

sorry for the negativity, it just kinda bothers me that i can't even enjoy these news so i had to vent.

Fixed.

So far it feels great. I got to get destroyed by Scar, so that was pretty cool. It sucks being so far behind the meta, absolutely no clue what to do against Leatherface.

Finally up and running, but only found one match so far and they only stuck around for 2 matches.

Feels pretty solid so far. Some minor stuttering here or there, but I think if I had enough SSD room for the game that would help, but I don't.

The games I've had were decent even on my terrible laptop. Stayed stable with some small spikes. Combos weren't too bad to execute if I was on training stage.
