Not to be a jerk, but it's could have, not could of.

Whoops. Thank you for pointing out my mistake.

Why Jacqui though? I guess they needed to find a way to get more people to use her lol

Anyway this is awesome, its great to see them making an effort to improve online play.

I think it might honestly be because they needed a character in the beta that could zone, and Full Auto has endlessly been complained about for its zoning in lag. Seems reasonable to me that they'd want a character that could represent that.

It's 2016, it's time to have a console.

It's the exact opposite. The PS4 and Xbox One were released at LAUNCH as inferior consoles and are continuing to struggle running modern games such as The Witcher, Just Cause 3, and Fallout 4.

But that's not what this thread is about. I'm happy the netcode is getting improvements!

NO PC AGAIN

WE ARE FUCKING DOOMED

FUCKING RIP GGS

if it is official... is pretty much their way of inviting us, to join SFV's 4th BETA..... GGs.... lol

So will KP2 roll out after the Beta is concluded?

The beta and MKX will be seperate games. The beta will almost asuredly not see the same kind of dlc / patch / balance love that the "main" game receieves, as that is not the point of the beta.

I really sincerely hope that that is just for the beta and that this netkode update will be implemented on PC when it's out of beta. However, NRS technically isn't the developer of the PC version so whether that happens is up to chance.

Regardless, happy for my console bros and hopefully this'll make ESL much more interesting.

I'm actually scared because people will finally see how bad High-Tech is

No you fool, this is what we want!

We want a spot light on Jacqui so people who wouldn't normally care can pick her up and bitch at NRS so she gets put higher up on the KP2 buff list.

HMMM!!!!!

 

[trufenix]

being hype? you came in to this thread on a high horse expecting us to kiss ass, you were looking for a fight.

i've been playing games with good netcode for years. this isn't new technology for me. while it's great nrs community is in the 21st century now, my fanboyism for nrs doesn't cancel out the years of frustration with their previous games.

again it's good news but i'm not gonna pretend like 7 years didn't happen. go ahead and let me know when nrs invents a time machine, new injustice and mk9 netcode then maybe you'll have a leg to stand on about nrs being good listeners.

so you're saying NRS does listen to their fans? Hurray! I won the fight!

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

Now that I think about it those are some of the characters that are seen as godlike by scrubs so yeah... Their goal is to make scrubs happy.

 

[HanSolo]

Meh, that's a lot of sub/scorpion matches..

 

[ErMac333]

Nice news! For the first time I'm actually hyped about playing online in this game. Will be nice taking part in this continuous improvement.

Where did that tid-bit of info come from?

 

[TakeAChance]

I honestly can't believe it. Wow.

 

[Skedar70]

I really hope this works so that I can finally play online.

 

[B. Shazzy]

so you're saying NRS does listen to their fans? Hurray! I won the fight!

sure, but nrs seemed to "listen" in the same way that a deaf guy would "listen" if i told him to blink. in other words out of necessity, to their exhausted fans, and just the natural upgrades in hardware games recieve as they need to survive in modern gaming

this is good, just take your baggage somehwhere else with that inciting first post.

 

[Onilordasmodeus]

People concerned about the Beta not being on PC need to remember that NRS from the start has only ever worked on the PS4 and X1 versions of the game.

 

[Pterodactyl]

Where did that tid-bit of info come from?

It seems pretty obvious.

Betas are never within the actual games, if you've ever signed up for any betas for things like Black Ops 3, SFV, Battlefront, etc. you'll see that they are separate apps with the games in very simplified forms.

I don't typically play in betas, so I'm wholly ignorant on how they are normally run.

So much mkx news in such a short period... overwhelmed with joy... I don't know if my heart can take it... send help...

For real this cannot come soon enough.
