true. loud complaining (without insults!) is, sadly, necessary. look at battlefront 2.

Hmm too little too late. It has already been declared a cynical dead end failure
Seriously though that's good. I hope it's addressed in a meaningful and long term manner
Question as a MK newcomer:
Since they are showing the Shao Khan statue in the KK right now, why did his body and skin look human in all games before MK11 and now it looks more like a lizard's or toad's skin with warts, scales, spikes and stuff?

NRS listens to their community. They had already buffed the dashes after the stress test. Glad they are addressing the Towers and Krypt, and it sounds soon, since they don't need to patch stuff to change values around.
The damage is done as far as reviews and day one sales go.
I'm more surprised that folks are surprised that they're gonna look at it though. It's 2019, stuff like this gets addressed (sup DOA6)
It's either just simply a redesign because they thought he'd look cooler this way or it's something that will be explained in the story mode of MK11.
They don't explain it in the story, already beat it. ;)
Okay, that would make sense.
Considering the game's not even officially launched, it "technically" hasn't officially happened yet.
... Semantics aside, I'm glad they're addressing it head-on.
Yeah it's just some new cool design they went with. I kinda like it.
They've always been sort of ambiguous about his race. Back in the day there were rumors about him being part dragon or even earlier that he was Tarkatan. He definitely isn't just regular human but I think it's mostly just a design choice if it isn't explained in the story.
He was originally intended to be Tarkatan (all Outworlders were originally going to be Tarkatan),but that was dropped. I've never heard anything about him being part dragon before.
Since it's not explained in the story I'm going to headcanon away his redesign by saying this Shao Khan is from a timeline where he absorbed the soul of Onaga and in turn unexpectedly gained some dragon like features.
Can someone make a twitch clip of the part where they talked about responding to tower/krypt feedback? I want to update the "WB Strikes Again" thread
It's clipped in the news thread about it that just got made
Finished the story.
- Outworld plot stuff is the best part
- Scorpion/sub zero stuff was good
- The cage storyline would be good/ok if sonyas voice actor wasnt total shite
- Jax family stuff ok
- Anything to do with the main plot is shit
I think pretty much all designs are amazing in this game. What a big shift from older MKs... That's the reason why I was for the first time interested in a MK. MK11 is absolutely beautiful, and being a character artist myself I do really appreciate that.
Glad they are adressing towers and krypt so swiftly! Hyped again! Gonna take a look at Noob, Kano and Erron Black first I think. People who played a few online matches, what are the characters you fought most often yet?

Thanks. No idea when my copy is arriving and sounds like it should be fun and at least spoiler free way to look at the game more.
Nope...
They were use in MK3... and they were required for Animalities. So... hmmm......
I'm happy they're listening, and I don't mind grinding for stuff as an incentive to keep playing for years - it just needs to be well-paced and balanced so it's rewarding the player rather punishing them or becoming a chore/turn-off. It's a delicate balance for a GaaS to achieve.
I thought the ending was hype as fuck.
For me it was definitely the best and most memorable of the three story modes.

They have improved so much since MK9. And it's one of my favourite fighters, having a great time with it online.

Wow I dont remember that at all. UMK3 was the last MK game I played.
If you played the mega drive/genesis version then that would explain it. Mercies (and by extension animalities) weren't in that version.
This wait is testing my might, do I buy now or wait for sale. Kind of want the premium for the case and magnet, plus kombat pack. And that sweet sweet GCU discount.
Maybe they didn't account for the skill gap between their testers and day 1 reviewers.
I feel like more fighting games need "closed betas" with random people. Sure there are going to be amazing players playing the game, but there is also going to be a bunch of people like myself who are slightly above garbage tier. I know I'm not the only person who knows multiple people who play mk and all of them are pretty meh. Not saying balance around them, but at least take their experience into account.
I had the Genesis version and animalities were totally in there. The AI kept doing it as finishers.
It's available as a quick end finisher via cheats (and as such the AI can do them to you) but you can't do them yourself via normal means.
Yeah, Mercies were most definitely in there. I lost in a Genesis MK3 tournament due to one.
Edit: Apparently, they were pulled from UMK3.
Absolutely. It's also hard to know if the challenge level is "it hurts so good" or "please stop." The pain point might be different for a fighting game than it is for something like a Souls game.
I mean if they want to keep it super hard then make different Consumables that really level the playing field. That way if player x is super good and can do it without them great but if player y is mediocre like me and needs them ok that's OK too. Choices are good
