They're not going to fix anything, look at Injustice 2. It's not broken, it's meant to be like that.
I have a ton of MKX skins that I unlocked offline, without grinding, by the way.

I have a ton of MKX skins that I unlocked offline, without grinding, by the way.
The rotating store should offer a discount but they should still let us buy whatever we want at a higher price.
They said Monday but I have no idea on the time it starts. I guess same as always?
You also get a lot of skins in MK11 without grinding. There are just a lot more in MK11 so getting 12 / 60 seems like it's not much. (And it makes it more random while MKX just had one to unlock per character)
Casual people tend to care about : Visuals, Story mode, roster, gameplay feel. Yes unlockables are always a nice motivation to keep playing.
And a good tower design can create an addictive loop. They fucked them up. Still, not many fighting games had more than MK11 has to offer.
Especially not "back then". I really hope they fix the towers unlike Injustice 2. But I also can't see how those towers decide the lifeline of the game.
As for not having a friend nearby 24/7, hopefully you understand why in 2019, good netcode makes this a trivial issue !
I think being electrocuted and stunned when you are near an enemy (which puts you in a juggle state and disrupts your throws and jumps) has to be my "favorite" modifier so far. Tied with freezing while close to an enemy.
Of course the AI is constantly rushing you down. Damn.

I cannot BELIEVE that they won't even let us buy a skin individually. What an absolute joke this game has turned out to be so far.
But instead of fighting your friends online you can fight the cheating AI all because some people stole free loot on Injustice 2.

Shouldn't an OT be made at this point?
A lot of people have the game in their hands already. Best Buy is launching it at 9PM apparently.
I have questions, how fun is Jax to play? I've given serious consideration to maining Jax. I love rushdown and aggression and the heated arms sound like a perfect gimmick for how I like to play

We're just waiting for egg to post it.
Also, Jax is a lot of fun.
What blows my mind is they have an entire store full of stuff you can't buy unless it's in the featured store how is that gonna make more money than letting the whales buy the entire store?
You can still buy ungodly amounts of the premium currency.
Can you? Right now there is no way to buy time crystals directly.
Thanks. :)
Yeah a totally unplayable, incorrigible failure for sure. You're right to be upset with the progression as is, but posts like this suggest a greater concern over more superficial systems and spending opportunities than the core of the game itself, which is by all accounts excellent. Sure seems like GaaS has poisoned not only design philosophies but also people's brains in how they interact with and receive games
Like people proudly declaring abandonment of APEX because there's an inadequate treadmill and therefore no Incentive and Reward for Investment. And FWIW I agree with Slaythe and I'm a single player only person. I am not happy with the reported tedium and do hope it gets changed, but I look forward to playing and learning the uh, fighting aspect of the game, and enjoying the characters regardless

I'm sure they have a big enough team to handle the micro transactions stuff and the core game stuff, but oh boy if there's is one thing they need to prioritize right now is how they will handle the custom variations in tournament play. That's concern number one over any other bullshit.

I can buy it sit on it forget about it and when the two items I do want show up in a year or two I'll be so excited I'll buy 700 dollars worth of premium currency!
They're going to stick to the plan:
When even Boon acknowledged the fact many people got the game early:
SF5 at launch was a good core fighting game and not much else.
And I dinged it for that in my review at the time and it struggled because of that. Rightly so. More than just the core game matters, especially for a healthy overall community.

I'm also primarily a SP person (at least with MK games).
The discussion around the problems of this game is a bit irritating to me, as the MTX and the grindiness is definetly not optimal, but I find it actually less intrusive as for example IJ2.
BUT a lot of fights in the towers of time (aka the main SP content and way to grind resources) are simply unfair. Unfair in a way that has nothing to do with your ability as a player. Just plain unfair. You said that you want to enjoy the fighting aspect of the game, which is exactly where I'm at. The problem is that a lot of the fights in the ToT make it impossible to enjoy the core fighting. It's frustrating because the core fighting is so incredibly good. I want to enjoy the game and be challenged, but not like it is now. The good thing is that all of the problems with the towers could be easily fixed.
I am afraid that everyone jumps only on the MTX-bandwagon and the difficulty problem gets swept aside.
If they multiplied the amount of ressources you receive and reduced the randomness of the unlocks, the ToT would still not be fun a lot if the time.

Real talk? They're only patching it because the reviews didn't let it slip.
If it was only buyers complaining nothing would happen.

So all the different microtransaction currencies are out and everything is reasonable now?
The reviews are not changing though so not sure what the point is. They already tanked the game so changing it now isn't gonna do them any good.
Moreover the fact that they can change it without patching the game means they always intended to change the game on the fly based off their data and feedback so that they can react.
I mean no. People getting vocally upset about this bullshit and not letting it slip is what causing positive change.
There was nothing wrong with it besides difficulty and the krypt issues.
The alternative is having to pay for every skin like MKX, in this yeah you have to spend some time to unlock costumes.
For free. The problem was that it was too hard and too slow.
Which is part of constructive feedback. People were screaming about the death of Mortal Kombat as a franchise like patches don't exist.
There's a bunch of reviews in progress. Enough to swing the metacritic score up to 85-86 for sure
Because people felt like it was getting overrun by casino psychology. Which happened to Battlefront 2. Which happened to Shadow of War. Which has been, and still is, an ongoing issue with the industry. Technical feasibility doesn't engender hope.
Companies don't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Especially considering this is them having dug deeper into these systems coming out of Injustice 2.
