Reveal Event worst case scenarios?

Gamer68

Fujin!
Since some people may misunderstand this post doesn't include real information. It is a place to discuss and make jokes about a potential worst case scenario when it comes to the reveal event. Don't take it seriously, thanks.

"Gear stats and moves are back, but this time you can't turn them off because we are making them competitive. However, you will still need to find gear moves in loot boxes -- this time they are called "Kombat Boxes!". You will only be able to get these special boxes by hitting milestones in Ranked play or by gambling Koins in the Krypt, but don't worry, you can also buy them with real world currency to speed things up a little. For those of you who are wondering: unfortunately we weren't able to develop a way to practice against gear pieces you don't own, so you must own the gear you want to practice with, assign it to a loadout, then choose that loadout when going into practice. We know this is an inconvenience, but we believe it's only a small one when you consider the fact that you can buy Kombat Boxes for only $0.99 apiece! Just note that all contents are random and you aren't guaranteed a gear move in your boxes**

Moving on, aside from the default loadout that every character has from the start, there are no Variations you can pick from right from the get go. You must make them! And we encourage you to do so since the base loadout/Variation is actually kinda bare bones and under-powered, so it's worth playing Ranked games, gambling, or spending real money to earn these Kombat Boxes to really level up your characters -- they can end up being three, maybe even five times as powerful when you do that. It really feels like you are raising your own little Shao Kahn (and to my opponents: you better not hurt him!)... Oh by the way, don't forget to pre-order the game so you can get Shao Kahn and play him day one. While you are at it, go ahead and get the Premium Edition. It includes the Kombat Pack, which will give you access to 6 characters (plus one week early access), 7 gear sets (1 for each DLC character plus Shao Kahn), and 7 skins: MK4, Deadly Alliance, Deception, MK9, MKX, Injustice, and Infrared outfits for Scorpion!

Mortal Kombat 11 also includes:


  • 26 playable characters (base game). Enjoy the same fan-favorite roster from Mortal Kombat X, but this time with updated visuals and new customization options. Also includes 2 new playable characters. Additional characters such as Shao Kahn sold separately.
  • Story mode. The duration of the story has been reduced so we can make it more content rich: including new and improved quick time events, playing the story will really make you FEEL like Batma- I mean Scorpion.
  • Towers! Arcade, Test Your Might, and other Klassic towers have been replaced with more modern and streamlined Towers. All featuring random Custom Kombat Modifiers, play through these constantly updated towers to unlock Kombat Kard customization pieces.
  • Online features the same (and oh we mean the same) modes you've played including our standard Ranked Mode!
  • Unreal Engine 4's power is unleashed by all of our Unreal Engine 3 assets that we ported over in this new engine. The same characters, stages, and moves you know and love are intact but with shiny new lighting and UE4 standard input delay! "

I didn't notice the disclaimer at the top. Thank God this is just for fun. I hope lootboxes don't make their way into the game. lol

I think I got them all right here:

Whats the point of this thread? Seems like a neg bomb

Fujin!
Fucking lootboxes have made their way into our game? While I'm fairly sure it's not P2W, I still don't care much for lootboxes.
This isn't real information, read the thing at the top of the OP.

I'm bored and thus this thread exists.

Being serious, though: it's just a lighthearted way to discuss the things we DON'T want to see in the reveal. Everyone is hyping over what the game could be which is fine, and I think the game will end up being fine as well, but I don't see anything wrong with preparing for the worst (in again, a lighthearted way).

I edited it shortly after I posted and scrolled up. =P

I noticed, but I posted that comment before you edited.

To be fair I had a notice at the top but it was small and vague, I didn't update it until after I already posted OP so it's possible you could have missed it there.

The entire thing is basically a posting and editing confusion, but no worries!

I'm a bad bitch, you can't kill me
"To get anything in the game (example: skins / gear ) you HAVE to play online." *shivers* I still get irked knowing I can't get the revenant skins for Liu Kang and Kung Lao or the Hotshot skin for Johnny cause they make you play ranked and KOTH.

Keep it earnable offline as well NRS!

Plus on block.
* to compensate for the extensive new variation system and alternate character versions, the starting roster is 12 characters

* only one or two of the newcomers from X are playable, none of that plot development meant anything. We plan to continue the trend of not improving characters we really didn’t capitalize on.

*we completely reinvented every returning character yet again, wasting precious time and resources making new movesets for old fighters instead making new ones.

*heres our zoning character for this game, they have an extremely fast machine gun attack that has multi-hit, a long hitbox, good active frames, and next to no recovery. Last three games had one so we gotta bring it back, I hope you like slowly crouching toward opponents.



"We were unable to properly balance Shao Kahn to make him playable online, thus he's only able to be used offline. He's not allowed for tournament play due to this as well. Thanks for your money! Cheers!"
Wow I actually got pissed reading that, good job.

1. The venue would close before the reveal due of its owner. You guys would need to find elsewhere to do the view.

2. NRS would limit it to only offline participants. This would be truly Injustice. :DOGE
