It is actually 50 of them, not 30. I guess I am an idiot. I dont see that anywhere. I see # I have unlocked but not how many I have performed.

Regardless, 50 with each character is kinda insane and I missed out on the glitch....

There's no way to see how many you've performed (edit: for each character, to specify. you can see total fatality count on your kombat kard). :( Like Hilbert said above, it's 25 now and brutalities -apparently- count. By that metric, if you're fighting against the whole roster pretty evenly, heads should start popping around the 625 fatality/brutality mark. It's also possible to grind but an absolute chore, I had to do so with Shao Kahn since he doesn't show up for me in regular tower fights. Good luck!

Stayed up till 6am ready for the DLC drop and nope, nothing. Better to announce it randomly next week, not when you have 80k eyes on your stream.

Well this way they get attention in the gaming news cycle twice in a week, instead of just once.

No Shang trailer was super disappointing. I'm glad I didn't stay up to watch the top 8.

Speaking of Shang, a majority of the characters seem to wield some nature of weapon. What do we think he'll have?

I think he'll mainly be a sorcerer, but I could see him summoning his sword from Deadly Alliance and Armageddon for a few attacks.

His revolver, obviously.

Just to be clear, it's 50 (well, 25) on each character, not with. So you have to fatality (or brutality) Noob 25 times to get his head, and not do 25 fatalities with Noob.

Just realized the thread was moved to Hangouts. No wonder I couldn't find it on the main page.

Combo Breaker and KitanaPrime's performance inspired me to try and get better with Jade. It's been rough but I think I'm getting the hang of her.

Deleted member 19533 · May 27, 2019

Not a single costume I don't have has come up in the store for about a week. Feels good, man.

Pretty done with the krypt and grind, but I'll still go for the weekly Race against time. You can get in the top for the week in an afternoon.

I will say that some costumes are oddly missing from the shrine. I think the Vaults may have their own list of exclusive items, but I'm not sure. I will say when you start running out of costumes to unlock the shrine gets even worse as you start getting more augments than costumes. NRS really needs to fix this sort of thing. It's long and bad enough as is, but for it to give you an augment when costumes are available is incredibly lame.

She's a very cool character, Jaded Alyx has beat me up with her many times at this point.

I couldn't care any less about Raiden so I'm not bothering with this week's race but I still check the towers to see if there's a new one up and I haven't seen a tower I haven't completed in over a week. Its insane to me that this is a thing.

Yeah, I've been having that as well. I was just going for the towers with a koin reward, but I don't need them anymore. There's one tower with a hidden key in brutal difficulty I still need, and that's really it. Only the 3 day and 12-hour towers have anything to offer. Also, any tower with Stolen Riches as the reward. Using Skarlet in Endless with a certain augment and Stolen Riches nets you about 55-60k a match and you can just let the AI run it. Get over a million in just one run.

Now I get to actually play though, and that feels good.

Oh nice. I haven't used any stolen riches since the first week or two since I basically can't do anything on my PC while its going on because the game auto-pauses when tabbed out. I also don't really need koins at this point, once I got maskless Kitana I was pretty much done with the krypt.

I'm gonna have to try this. I've been doing Stolen Riches on Endless but that alone only nets about 6k a match.

Wasn't trying to get into top 5 this week, but I'm here anyway. Can't wait for this stupid shrine to give me the masks already so I can be done with grinding forever lol.

I started learning Jacqui properly last night. God. Damn. Everything about her is sublime. She just flows. I've barely scratched the surface with her, but I'm already in love.

MrH · May 27, 2019

Swapped from Noob to Baraka awhile back and really enjoy him, his crushing blows are so much easier to pull off without having to go out of your way.

She is awesome. I'll never be good at using her string cancels but she's super fun to play. You couldn't pay me to feign interest in Jacqui in MKX... and in 11 she's one of my favorite characters.

I'm pretty sure brutalities don't do it. I've never gotten a head for doing a brutality, only fatalities.

so Sub-Zero question?
Dead Of Winter ? or Thin Ice?

MrH · May 27, 2019

I'm fairly casual when it comes to fighting games but am I right in thinking the ranked system really sucks in MK11? I feel like there's nothing to work towards, I'd love leagues so I could work from bronze to silver to gold etc. Plus it seems off when it puts me against someone with 600 matches when I have 10.

Xeteh · May 27, 2019

gutter_trash said:

Both are pretty solid. Dead of Winter gives you the meterburn ice ball which just wins the zoning game. Thin Ice still has the slide though, so that gives you the 50/50 games. Play the one you enjoy most.

Its barely a ranked mode. Feels like the only thing that makes it "ranked" is it restricts you to the two tournament variations and you have to play a FT3. There's zero matchmaking, it just matches you against the first person waiting.

Kombat League should theoretically solve that problem, but yes--MK11's ranked is kinda wack.

Kombat League, we THINK will be a real ranked mode. It's in 2 weeks if it doesn't get shadow delayed again.

MrH · May 27, 2019

Fingers crossed for Kombat League then. Another niggle I have is first to 3, it just feels a bit long, I much prefer the best of 3.

Xeteh · May 27, 2019

lol man. My daily challenge is "win 1 ranked match" so I played a ranked set. Won 3-1... and the challenge still says 0/1.

I think NRS is going to have to figure out what they want competitive to look like. As it stands, default variations are not tournament variations. Ranked limits you, but a lot of people play competitively with default loadouts without realizing they aren't actually playing tournament legal versions of their characters. On top of that, Ranked is FT3, but many tournaments, Combo Breaker included, have been FT2.

Hoping that along with the Kombat Pack info we get some additional quality of life changes to the game (from Kombat League to addressing the above to better ways to zero in on the gear you want, to better rewards for playing online).

Is NRS usually good at post-launch care? I tend to flop out before now but I'm really enjoying MK11, hell it's the first time I've bought a season pass. And yeah it's totally bizarre and confusing having the default loadouts not be the tournament legal ones, it feels like something that should have been fixed weeks ago.

Watching Foxy Grampa almost beat SonicFox with Kung Lao makes me want to play him. Always thought he looked cool.

I did get heads from brutalities, but I agree that it's not something 100% confirmed yet, so it's better to focus on fatalities until you get them all.

Yeah, I get that. It took me forever to get Skarlet's. I was going for Skarlet's Man Trap Skin this whole time, and it was LITERALLY the last costume for her I could unlock (barring "???" and ToT costumes that haven't come up yet). It was her 50th costume unlock, and most people get it pretty early on as it's a Mortal Drop. RNG just hates me in this game.

Anyway, the Augment is called "Revel in Carnage." It's the fire icon augment under her blood viles. You get the regular match bonus, then if she performs a Fatality you get 5-9k for Revel in Carnage, and with the Stolen Riches it multiplies by 10 up to 50-90k. However, the game has a hard cap on bonuses at 50k, so it gets banged down to 50k. Ultimately ending in the 50-60k range.

BlueBomberX - you got Man Trap! Was it in the shrine, or a chest? I'm after that one, and Edinian Blue.

Xeteh, I wanted to like Jacqui in X. She had some sweet tools, but she just didn't click with me. But this Jacqui is like butter. Also, I saw her ending. I thought Jax had the best one, but fucking tears at Jacqui's. "It's what a Briggs does."

I loved the idea of Sonya's Yog-Sothoth Warriors ending, but of course it's butchered by Rhonda. With a real VA, it would be up there with the Briggs' endings.

I got Man Trap in a Kronika vault. It's definitely not in the shrine. I've pretty much exhausted it at this point... I get like 5-6 augments before I get a skin now (Was like this before I got Man Trap). So, there may be a few more costumes in there, but I feel it's safe to say Man Trap wasn't one of them. Also, Kitana's Edenian Blue is not in the shrine either. There's 1-2 costumes per character marked as "Krypt" that you can't seem to get in the Shrine or even in regular chests. Edenian Blue still eludes me; I think it may also be in a vault. However, if you've opened Kitana's Heart Chest you'll have Marigold. If you select Marigold with the Start button on the select screen it becomes Edenian Blue. I have her two other human skins in blue though.

That's super useful info - thank you! I'll stop dumping koins into the shrine, and just work on hunting for vaults, and re-popping chests and soul spires. The Marigold trick is cool, but I need the real thing! Fortunately the costume you get from story mode is a decent runner up. I'm not so wild about the other one.

Believe me, it's a huge deal. You never know when you might need to Skarlet all over the place, and if you do, now you're prepared.

The Riot Inside · May 28, 2019

Skarlet seems pretty cool. People seem to expect her to zone and not get up in their face.

I got a question though. The move on her second variation where she pulls the opponent towards her. What does the amped version do? Does it let her recover faster to attack first?

Edit: Also there are like 10 characters I want to learn and I can't make up my mind. Usually I only ever find one or two but I get the feeling I'm going to end up learning most of kast by the time I'm done.

Ah ok. So other than that the move is just a reset then to prevent wake up? Because I was having a tough time putting out an attack first.

Xeteh · May 28, 2019

You have advantage, it just isn't much. Most Skarlet players tend to use the other variation for the parry and teleport.
