No mention of the character balance changes or character tutorials for Switch... Hm. Good updates for both Switch and PC otherwise.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Hmm.. Seems like they’re still not completely getting what people are angry about with the Krypt. This release is likely to stoke some flames if people feel they’re not being completely understood.

 

[JBeezYBabY]

All i really want is Custom variations. I would have sooooo much more fun with these characters, but im going thru them like water because their tournament variations are ....meh....

 

[Dankratos]

Player 2 still can not use the game's unlockables in the local game, this is very sad

Whatare people angry about with the Krypt?

 

[JBeezYBabY]

Whatare people angry about with the Krypt?

I guess its because the Krypt is expensive in opening up chests? But if they adjust the amount of currency received from Tower Of Time (Which they are) then I don't see why ppl should still be mad at this.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Whatare people angry about with the Krypt?

Mostly the amounts of currency that it takes to purchase things relative to how long it takes to earn said currency by different means, and then the fact that they’re often spending the currency to get a random unlock — so mainly that they’re not quite sure what they’re getting when they do spend.

Since not everything is earned the same way (some of it is time-based, etc), this will only address part of the issue.

I hope they add custom variations too. But in the meantime, why not just make your custom variation and play online with that in the casual mode? It's not like the ranked/competitive mode is that meaningful anyways. Unless you're a tournament player, then I understand feeling the pressure to stick with a tournament variation.

Id rather not until i know its tournament legal. I dont wanna waste my time on something uncertain.

Time to move on.. That ship has sailed, at least for a while.

Nah. Its just stuck at purgatory. This is a subject i will NEVER drop about this game because I 100% believe in my heart that Customs will make the game soooooo much better. Otherwise, im afraid it wont last even 2 years to tbh.

MK11 NEEDS Custom Variations to be tournament/Ranked LEGAL! And If Uncle JBeezY has to say this every damn day, then thats what the fuck i will do.

They get it, they're still going to hold out on actually fixing the problem until the last second to get the max amount of soul krystals and cosmetics bought by customers frustrated with the grind.

Flames will get stoked regardless because of the underhanded marketing rollout of this game. They could have let everyone know in advance the inability to play kustom variations in a local versus mode, how the krypt actually was set up, the towers of time requirements and the always online element to the gear, but they did not do that.

It's a wonderful fighting game but they deserve all the flak they get as the game stands now.

IMO the Krypt isn't that bad. And unless you looked up online the things in the Krypt, you didn't know what was being unlocked there either. However, the variation icons are annoying to unlock because it feels pointless.

Ice Cube is LEGENDARY! Know what else make this a Legendary? Custom Variations

I’d bet that without the tease of Time Krystals people might look at this differently. But the disparity between Time Krystals/the store vs. having to open a chest that might contain something semi-useless is where a lot of the microtransaction complaints are coming from.

I personally don’t care about any of it since I just play the game. But I think it’s important to get the PR and system right since it affects how the millions of other casual fans see the game.

 

[KingKhrystopher]

They get it, they're still going to hold out on actually fixing the problem until the last second to get the max amount of soul krystals and cosmetics bought by customers frustrated with the grind.

You know the purchasing of cosmetics is extremely limited right? Like, you can only buy 3 skins per day. And it's completely random which ones you can buy. I severely doubt that they're making much money off of this, because you're not even biased to get skins for characters you actually like.

Flames will get stoked regardless because of the underhanded marketing rollout of this game. They could have let everyone know in advance the inability to play kustom variations in a local versus mode, how the krypt actually was set up, the towers of time requirements and the always online element to the gear, but they did not do that.

I mean, a lot of this is carried over from Injustice 2. None of this is really new besides the always online factor. And yes, they should've let people know beforehand, I agree.

It's a wonderful fighting game but they deserve all the flak they get as the game stands now.

I disagree. I think a lot of people are being very unfair when perhaps the only issue is Towers of Time and lack of custom variations in ranked.

Thank you, Uncle.

So we should be expecting the first patch to drop this weekend in PC, and the second one around monday/tuesday?

 

[Vslayer]

Good to know, I still think in the meantime the towers are still really fun, but I can't wait for that sorry gift to get me some more pink skins yo.

 

[xenogorgeous]

nice, very nice coming from WB. they are trying to repair things, so, it's welcome and thankfully in time

 

[stokedAF]

I was getting legitimately angry in the ToT against Erron Black with 2 life stealing assists and zero cooldown.

Then I realized that I just have to equip 3 of my own assists and spam them. I beat it in 2 tries but it’s just not fun at all. I wish I could earn stuff by playing the classic towers

 

[JBeezYBabY]

I really havent touched the real Towers besides the tutorial one. So Im holding out until the patch.
