This is a more obscure problem but I'm not sure if they addressed it (probably not)

In Shao Kahn's character specific ToT he has a requirement for "x" amount of Krushing Blows, only problem is the only one the game counts are his d2 and Wrath Hammer ones. Nothing else counts. Don't suppose anyone knows if this was fixed?

I'll find out either way when I get home.
I was noticing that too. It doesn't seem to count his variation KBs. Makes this requirement infinitely more annoying since you have to spam d2's until the AI decides to stick a button out
 
I Am Reptile was a nightmare for me. But they just patched towers so maybe it's easier now.

I had to rely on the blizzard konsumable to wear down their health because combos were impossible due to Forceballs and poison clouds

I’ll try that
 
Besides all the other krap that still is a pain to get(souls, heads etc) something more pressing. Whats up with the frame data correction.
 
Does anyone know what this means??
  • Enabled Dev Slayer functionality
Pretty sure that's a mechanic where if you defeat one of the developers it gives you more rewards (sometimes exclusive rewards like Kombat Kard backgrounds). I think that's how it worked in past games.
 
Completing one Dragon Challenge during a Tower will now give you 1,000 Koins instead of just 100.
I wish it would give you soul fragments instead. Coins were already so easy to earn it’s ridiculous. I’ve already opened up every single regular Krypt chest I’ve come across. Soul fragments on the other hand... those are the biggest brick wall in the entire game :mad:

Just restocked a few chests in the Krypt and got like 400 soul fragments, amazing skins, 200-300K and even a Brutality, I think. So you might wanna consider going that route?
 
I can't. It's an objective to proceed further into the Gauntlet. I beat the tower itself, just not that objective.
What do you actually get from the gauntlet? I haven’t started yet because the rewards didn’t look very exciting for the first one, compared to how many matches it consists of.

Well that’s interesting... I thought the restocks were just for the consumables and forge items.
 
This patch should've been the birth-patch of the game.

I have 900k coins, is that worth returning to the Krypt?

I had been going in with only 150-200k before (in intervals of three).

I don't want to have to leave so early after going in.

The Krypt gives me a nice isolated feeling.

It's scary, but I feel safe there!!

That’s plenty for a good Krypt session.
 
Been to the Kytinn area yet? Because I definitely don't feel safe there. XD
peeks from beneath the sheets

Nope!

Only area 1, area 2 (with Kahn's hammer); the DEAD WOODS chest all unlocked except that Gold one in the right corner and the green-lit bodies.

I also went to the area after the room with Kahn's hammer. Smashed the walls behind the stadium.

And then I went to the area where Shang Tsung has Forged.

I've unlocked everything except those green-lit bodies and that gold chest shit that needs hearts or whatever.

I'm way behind you guys!!
 
Those spiders respawn so fast that right after having killed the last one, a new one respawned right around the corner BEHIND me and killed my ass, triggering both my crippling arachnophobia and my deep hatred for jump-scares! D:

At least the shadow guy only appears right when you put the blindfold on, so I ALWAYS swing the hammer right as I activate the blindfold. XD

Haha we're in the same boat lol.

I'm so glad I didn't get the shadow guy jumpscare out of nowhere. I was watching a Maximilian stream or something and saw it. I would've broken something if I just got that blindly. I was putting on the blindfold randomly looking at shit. I'm now just gonna wait for a guide to those chests and stuff that require putting on the blindfold to minimize possible heart attacks.
 
However, the blood guys and the monks behind bars never get me. At first I didn't know where the sudden sound came from, because I was running by or they just were out of my view, so I had no idea what happened when they suddenly yelled out. My friend was the one who pointed it out to me before I even noticed it. XD

He popped up the very first time I used the blindfold and it scared the shit out of me! But now I know to expect him whenever I put them on. Also, fortunately, he doesn't suddenly come running at you down the hallways when walking around with them on.

On another note, that same friend I mentioned also pointed out to me that using the blindfold spends soul fragments. I had no idea! So I had just run around with them on without noticing I suddenly lost souls because of it. XD
