I think, that will be good practiceAlso, is nameshaming a thing on TYM? Because if not, we can all start by naming these people. Then get as many as we can to report them on WB"s site.
It's not as bad as it sounds. In 600+ games I maybe matched against 1 cheater who was lag switching and possibly another one who intentionally desynced the game but I still got the win.Seems the PC version has even more elements of why this game is not fun online, all this stuff I'm reading about this version good lord as if the console versions weren't bad enough.
That's actually a good ratio lol. On the console versions ha you'll get several every day no joke, I don't know which console has the most(I imagine PS4 due to the more players) but I have the Xbox and switch versions and I can't tell you how many times I get someone struggling or when they counter pick me it gets laggy suddenly except when they attack me of course.It's not as bad as it sounds.

I honestly think the situation has improved if we think about how it was in the first two months of the game, when there were other possible ways to cheat. various glitch or exploit.Seems the PC version has even more elements of why this game is not fun online, all this stuff I'm reading about this version good lord as if the console versions weren't bad enough.
Yeah I hear ya man. It's what my dad used to do whenever he played hearts on msn lol. People would cheat when they're losing or get shitty cards so there was a block list, but he also made his own block list and had about 50+ people on it, got to the point where it just turned him off so he stopped playing the online one, now he sticks to the single player one on his kindle vs the CPU lol. Can't say I blame him, it's amazing how gaming has become so evolved since the 70's and 80's yet it's human nature to cheat no matter what the game is could be sports or a mere video game or card game and that's really unfortunate.I honestly think the situation has improved if we think about how it was in the first two months of the game, when there were other possible ways to cheat. various glitch or exploit.
However, I continue to find some especially in the kombat league, and the system they use lately is to use software to knock down the fps.
Last night I found another nickname was THING, I don't remember if it was wifi or cable.
However the first match we played he won, in the second I won and before the third in the character selection he waited almost the whole countdown (probably because he was opening the right program). As soon as the round started, the ping went up to more than 600ms and the game got out of sync.
Unfortunately I don't think we can do anything to stop these people, just report their nicknames and avoid them online if possible.
Oh I 100% agree, especially in MK 11's case lol. I enjoy playing online, competing while having fun but this is the first MK game ever in history of MK games I've played(and I've played them all) where online genuinely stresses me out and pisses me off to no end. It feels like one of those games where, no matter how much you improve you'll still lose to dumb shit. To me that's not the player, but the game usually it's the other way around most of the time but I think this game with all the flaws, bs and gimmicks to deal with is the one exception. You have sound advice, tbh the only reason I still play online competitively at this point is so I don't become rusty because Fujin is coming and I've been waiting over 10 years for him.@MKF30 Outside of Private Sets, I've spent more time playing the AI in Mortal Kombat XL, Killer Instinct, and Mortal Kombat 11.
While I do play Public Multiplayer sometimes, I find it's more frustrating than it's worth, to be honest.
More like developer awful supportPc master race huh lol.
Haha true but I get his point, some PC people love to take the elitist mentality of "PC master race" but obviously have their own problems.More like developer awful support
oh yes ok those skins thought you were talking about certain promotional ones. I remembered they did the batman tas looking ones differently. Haha@MKF30 Actually no. The Gold Scorpion skin was from the Collector's Edition of the game, retail only. It was released for all at some point on Xbox One, not sure about PlayStation 4. It was never released on PC, but is in the game.
The Blue Steel Sub-Zero and Crimson Ermac skins were premium skins you could buy to support e-sports.
The online only skins are: Hotshot Johnny Cage, Revenant Liu Kang, Revenant Kitana, and Revenant Kung Lao. As far as I know, they can only be earned online by getting a 10 game win streak in Survivor King of the Hill, getting 25 Ranked wins, getting 25 King of the Hill wins, and giving 2500 Respect Points in King of the Hill respectively. If there's an offline way to unlock them, I'd love to know.
I have them all on PC, but on Xbox One, I don't have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox LIVE Gold, so I can't get them.
Aside from these four skins, I think skins were done wonderfully in the game.
PC have some pluses:Seems the PC version has even more elements of why this game is not fun online, all this stuff I'm reading about this version good lord as if the console versions weren't bad enough.
Unfortunately the situation is the same on all platforms,Stop playing fighting games on PC.
On the xbox you can with your own music, but I never use it lol.PC have some pluses:
- you can play with your own music
- every time, when you wait search of ranked game, you can alt+tab and serf internet
- Unlocker
Oh ok I see, I forget the one you're talking about because I could swear his revenant was his default unless I'm thinking of a different one. lol. I agree with you on the graphical options but the negatives for PC -easier ways to cheat, mod(I dealt with this already on original xbox was not fun til they fixed this with the 360 onward) The free multiplayer sounds cool but for me depends on the game, I'm a bit selective so this doesn't effect me much. Graphical option is definitely a plus for PC with upgrading, my two friends who love PC do this all the time. I asked them about the pluses and negatives, since this thread they more or less said the same thing though they also said it's easier for people to cheat sadly. So there's always tradeoffs it seems but I'd like to think most people are honest.@MKF30 Hi Dark Emperor skin could be unlocked Offline, but his Revenant one was online only. And no, Reptile had a Klassic skin, but no "action figure" skin.
In terms of platforms in general, all games have issues of some sort that are platform specific. Some are more serious than others. In terms of pluses, I'd say the major pluses for the PC versions vs. the console counterparts would be: cheaper cost, free Multiplayer, better graphic options. Nothing wrong with playing the game on any platform though.
