Future of MKX on PC; MKXL Enhanced Online PC BETA

[MumbleCakes]

still no communication (or hints) regarding when the actual game comes out and when the beta will actually end?


EDIT: also could somebody link me a up to date tier list? kind of stopped following after the PC issue.

There was a post in community hub for MKX on Steam by WB Mike, the one giving official announcements about the beta. He said that the MKXL beta will be up for 4 days ONLY. Then they said that it will be extended 2 more days til Sep. 1st. So I'm assuming the beta will end then. As for when the actual full release will drop I have no idea.

Here's a tier list by Yomi REO that I think is accurate and virtually unbiased:

Ehh, I havent played since January and I suck now, forgot fundamentals. I got so used to Killer Instinct I sometimes try to block by going backwards.

I dont even know if I`ll regain my edge, or is it even worth it at this point.

Competitive wise, definitely not worth your time. But to finally get to see what we've all been missing for the fun of it, I think it's worth it. At least for me.

 

[Juxtapose]

I actually played like 2nd or 3rd person from TYM today beside those i always get... new players who pick characters for 2 minutes... and then mash uppercut or better - jump all day and then mash uppercut.

All you people, bashing on that amazing Mortal Kombat II tech...

 

[Juxtapose]

I'm super impatient with that sort of thing. I've always been curious what the heck is going on when it takes 30 to accept a fight.

If you stand on a character for 20 seconds, I'm out.
If you take all night to pick your COSTUME, I'm out.
If we played one match and it takes you 30seconds to agree to a rematch, I'm out.

It's fine I some has better things to do with their time, but don't pull me into it. We dont know each other. This isn't evo. This isn't for money or fame. Play or don't, just pick one.

And end of rant.

Interesting. For me, I don't take my time at the character select screen, but I _do_ wait to see if they'll go and pick a character first so I know the kind of match up I'm in for. This will then dictate which of my two characters and what variation I choose.

If after several seconds they're still sitting there, I simply pick my main.

After a match, I always wait as the post-match scores come up before agreeing to rematch or not, I never fast rush through those.

It's not uncommon for my opponent to be mashing their button, wanting to get to rematch or out ASAP. I always wonder what's going on in their head at the time, and why such impatience.

For me, I take those several seconds to _think_ about the match I just had, what I did right and wrong, and what I can try to tighten up or exploit on my opponent for a rematch. Those several seconds of thinking have won me sets.

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about having a character select standoff. I always pick who I want and have zero interest in caring about counter picking. I let the other guy worry about all that stuff.

I'm a lot more patient if we have some good matches going, but some people just make you wait as much as play and that get's old real fast.

On the other side I fought a guy last night who was spazing out everywhere. He played like he was keyed up and couldn't stick with a character for more than two matches and often switched after one. Felt super a.d.d. that eventually wore me out.

Ah, fair enough.

Oh man, finally! I can't stomach playing it on PS4 any longer. After 3 months I still can't get used to how "muddy" this game feels on consoles due to input lag.
I'm gonna miss finding a match in 15 seconds though.

I forgot how much better this looks on pc than xbone. It is so much more visually satisfying on pc, i hope they stick with it and revive XL on pc.

New DLC and update: https://steamdb.info/app/307780/

It's happening pretty soon. Bunch of DLC added to normal MK X branch, most likely KP2 characters. It looks like full version is a matter of days now.

Maybe Friday?

I'm hoping they announce details for it and an apology Jade/Noob pack for PAX.
Since it doesn't seem like they have any Injustice stuff to show.

Though Boon has been so quite lately IDK.

He could barely even mention MKXL PC.

Bro... keep dreaming (about Jade). From what i've seen on Boon Twitter he consider PC version "done".

As for PAX and IGAU2 - they just throw 1-2 new characters / trailers and they're good.

days away? i dont think so. the beta itself is already extended to thursday. and they still have to take the feedback and use it to make it better. MKXL on pc will get more than a quiet rebirth. There will be an official announcement regarding its re release. This was one of WBs biggest blunders last year and left a pretty bad taste in pc players mouths, they will make sure they announce this loud and clear that they fixed it so people are well aware that they did 'right' by them.

If you think that they actually take any feedback from the community then you clearly didn't pay attention. Nobody from QLOC (company that handles PC port) even bother to write anything on Steam. You get only WB guys who use 2 pre-written replies as copy / paste to anything people write there.

And this Beta serves only one purpose - to get PC player hype about the game again. It has no other point. GGPO in it was tested on consoles ages ago and its solid for quite some time, there is no technical reason to test it again on PC.

Also do you think they would gave us whole roster instead of like 4 characters (console beta started with 4) if all they wanted to do is test online? They wanted people to get hyped about the game AND "new" (KP2) characters. So when the update / XL is out on PC people would buy XL / KP2 pack (if you already have MK X).

And why soon? Coz when the beta will end, people obviously will stop playing it - if they take too long with the release many people will just forget about it (casuals) or get annoyed and that's not good for the business. And imo the game (XL on PC) is ready for quite some time now, they're waiting only for the release of final patch so it will be the same on all platforms.

Also so its absolutely clear they're doing MK XL on PC mostly coz they want to sell IGAU 2 port on PC at some point after console release next year (probably close to it end, just like they did with IGAU).

It's business, not rocket science.

Welcome to our world, at last. ^_^

The one time I connect to this good Smoke player, Steam decides to go offline in the middle of the session and tells me I have no connection. RIP

The same happened with me, too.

Finally. We shouldn't have been punished for playing on our preferred platform. The pit stage is beautiful. Running maxed settings at 3440x1440p 21:9, locked 60 fps. Stunning game.

Nailed it! I've been thinking the same tbh.

He is neither in charge or even remotely responsible for it. The last time he said anything it turned out to be wrong and he's still being crucified for it. I doubt he will ever speak on a pc port again.

Paulo happened... And people got better. xD SonicFox has a mean Shotgun Jacqui, he demolished Trepound at EVO with it.

It's awesome isn't it. One day NRS will have a real strong PC base. If any fighting game studio can do it it's NRS.

Only if they don't get associated with those publishers (Sony, Microsoft, WB, etc). When they get involved, you see the results (Sony and Microsoft).

It'It's only because of WB that you have a pc port at all. The same hand that giveth also taketh away.
