They are fools if they think most casual players are going to continuously pay to skip fights like them above, maybe I would do it once or twice if I knew what reward I was getting at the end but past that nah, I'll just go play something else.

Absolutely. Like if it's for my main character MAYBE I will...but thats a HUGE maybe. I may just say F'it
Lmao, that's just absolutely insanely bullshit, what were they thinking
The ONLY thing I can think, and it may not be, but MAYBE there is an item that people haven't found yet that makes you immune to capture state? I don't know. I feel like these towers are going to be impossible if there isn't consumables that negate these things.
Jesus H... Are NRS kidding with that bullshit? It's like their play testers didn't actually test it or give any feedback about balance and actual achievability.
You can't pick konsumables in the 3v1 Tag battle, which that Sub Zero battle is.
Yeah I could see that happening, like in Smash Ultimate with World of Light, where some challenges are damn hard or near impossible without some spirits.
EDIT : Well... looking at the post above mine, nevermind LOL
Do the Warner Brother shareholders and financial people who push for all this grind and monetiziation even play their own games or video games in general? They're meant to be fun. Stuff like this ain't fun!
Uuuuh, I played with rando's.
Pretty sure we all just got lucky, I played Liu-kang.
I was 3rd, and just spammed a few moves.
Don't have any tips really.
It is not about fun. The game, in this state, is the host for a time-siphoning system.
So maybe for these tag boss fights there isn't, but possible for some of the other really really hard ones? I don't know. I'm just really hoping they didn't mess up this badly.
Of course not. WB Games is not something you can invest in, you invest in Time Warner or at this point it may just be AT&T, and those who invest are just looking at the market, it's all business where WB's game division is a small piece of the pie.
Well mabye I'm old but if I'm not having fun with a game, I stop playing it. I don't care about how many hours I've already sunked into a game, if it's no longer enjoyable I will take a break.
Yeah same, all of these news are bumming me out, because legit 2 days ago before learning about all of this, I was pretty hyped and was gonna buy my first MK in ages
You're being too generous, the creatives were over ruled by the micro transaction people. Organizationally, that unit probably holds more sway on the fine running of systems to general MTX and appease shareholders.
Which fight? (there have been a few linked throughout the thread)
The sub Zero one.
That one that demanded multiple players online.
The guy who posted that video said you couldn't use consumables in the three man fights.
sephi22
Did we find out you can use consumables for that fight?

That paints a completely different picture ...
Hmm interesting. I had the same thought that there was a consumable that you needed to use but the OP of the vid said it wasn't possible. Maybe he just missed it. i tagged him in my last response.
"Welcome to the front door you dips. Now make sure your wallet is ready to pay for every ride in the theme park...unless you plan on waiting on line for hours on end until you're rewarded."
I'm not navie. I know they want to make juicy profit but why get invovled in the viedo game industry if you don't care about making good games? If you just want to rip people off and gorge on whale consumers then open a god damn casino.
I was wrong about the Sub Zero tag fight. Quoting from the other thread
I wonder if those whales will be worth it for one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world.

Well that's the straw that broke the camel's back for me as far as a purchase goes.
I will not be buying Mortal Kombat 11.

Don't suppose there's been an official response yet that gives hope things will be patched to be more balanced/fun?
I was pretty tempted to order this game from Best Buy: I still have an active GCU as well as $10 rewards, so that's $20 off.
Is the Shao Khan DLC included in all launch day copies, or is that a pre-order code that they e-mail you?

Looks like a preorder DLC. No code included in my copy to get him. Been waiting for email from BB.
Some buyers have a code in box. Must be regional. Also, wine if Kahn would be in the premium edition box.
The code included was the Kombat Pack thing. I wonder if that's it but all I got was a Johnny skin. I assume the online store needs to be up to get it. Mine was a Premium Edition as well.
They just confirmed on the Kombat Kast that they are hotfixing the game as now as they speak to change the balance in favor for people who struggle with towers and better the rewards.
Such good news that they are acting so quickly. I was watching the kast and the fact it was a written prepared statement gives me such hope
Yup, told you guys they would fix this. They also mentioned it won't be a patch. They can change the numbers on their side but they'll announce when it's out. It'll be out "ASAP"
Yep
Yep
How can you say this when no one has even played it yet? It behooves us to be patient.
They are pretty good with feedback. They are listening to the community.
I would say yes. While towers were indeed a little hard it was also overblown imo. You still had without them more content than any MK ever.
Even without playing them i unlocked like 50+ skins yesterday.
I didn't but I it's like in the first 3ish minutes so once they put it up it will be easy to find
I've been playing it for 3 days along with other people who got it early. The Towers are grindy now but not super awful. If the fix is good, then it's even better.

It's on their NRS twitch channel.
They said they can change all this stuff without patching the game and that they will fix it ASAP.
