Yes and in the past everyone just waited for someone else to do the work and they'd just look it up online and go get it, they don't want people doing that. They do deserve the benefit of the doubt because in the past the ability to buy out the krypt was there day one and they could have done that this time and never made any changes to address the complaints people are making.
So instead they are selling time crystals because they know how hard it will be for people to get a specific skin. None of this was a mistake.
I'm wondering what they're doing with Sektor and Cyrax since there is a quote often mentioned they weren't going to have unplayable NPCs again.
Last time they came bundled as Tri-Borg. I wonder how The Terminator moves and character will be implemented into this game including weapons, wether it looks like Arnold or the Endo-Skeleton or an original character. It might seem fvcked up to push him as an alt-skin for either Cyrax or Sektor, or maybe meet halfway giving The Terminator some Abilities to choose from either one in addition to a few new unique abilities.
It doesn't seem that much of a stretch to give The Terminator many of Sektor's weapons though like rockets or a flamethrower, maybe not the teleport though.
It would be cool if they give the Terminator Erron Black's rifle stance, but with a shotgun.
My suggestion for the move cancels is to turn off negative edge or whatever it's called. I think it's on by default and I had issues doing that. Even looking at the controller icon it showed I was inputting things correctly but it wasn't coming out correctly. As soon as I turned that option off I was able to do it correctly consistently.I finally got to play this some more. Decided to try the Tutorials which does drop limited gear and Koins, but I have a hard time with getting past the Move Cancels part. I did learn a few things like how to escape juggles that I might revisit.
I got my freebie KOINS so I went into the KRYPT. I really wish this could be a more linear experience to get to content, I don't feel like doing what feels like RPG crap in a fighting game to unlock content. I really preferred simple stuff like completing Story mode to unlock Shinnok or this time Frost. I also think the Krypt constant calls to a server is ridiculous; I did have the Krypt crash on me once, but maybe everyone who got the Koins just added to much load to that part of the server. It did not crash the whole game, it just pushed me out of the Krypt.
I ran through the Novice Klassic Tower for basic play and to see some more endings.
Then I tried the Towers of Wasted Time. What a clusterfvck. I keep thinking I'll only go back in their after I accumulate 20 Skip Fights or possibly try sending an AI to fight it. It almost seems managable, except in addition to all the modifiers and sh't dumped on you, the CPU will then use their FATAL BLOW.
I think the FATAL BLOW is a cool idea, but I'm not sure making it a free 'Hail Mary' last minute super attack was a good idea. For one thing, it gets tedius sitting through it when the character still has no chance to win and I still have almost all of my health. I would've suggested a tweak where the character pays for the Fatal Blow with sacrificed health from the next round or possibly also requiring meter wich self replenishes anyway.
While I feel I can b;tch about how a lot of things are implementeed, with patience and playing, gear will be available in the store dealy or in the Krypt. The core of the game for me is casual play of the Klassic Tower which is really, really entertaining. I have zero regrets about buying this game, I love everytime I pull a Brutality.
I still have to set aside time for Story Mode, but looking forward to that and unlocking Frost.
Agreeing with yankeessuck on this one.
It's not a great look for them tbh. Considering that Boon is well aware of (even friendish? ) angry Joe and the hits EA have taken for their greedy ways, I'm very surprised by this loot box stylish krypt. I do like the guy and games, they're pretty much the only dev that tries to keep moving the fighting genre forward, so if they fix this I'll buy the game full priced.

I haven't spent much time in the game either, just working on the tutorials. Like all fighting games I'm too casual to play online so story and towers will be good enough for me in this game.
Probably, they were lucky with shadow of war that battlefront 2 took the massive hit with the loot box outcry, Sow was pretty bad, never finished it because of the huge grind.I wonder if this is a cost of working with WB?

I've heard Noob is the way to go for AI towers.
There is a kind of Krypt cheat to place the severed heads
I never saw the point in having an AI play the game for me. If the grind in a game is so bad I need an AI to do the unlocking for me... That's a problem...
I gave up on another set of towers because my AI was completely oblivious to the Modifier Projectiles in it.
However, a single tower appeared with Cassie Cage as a Boss tower. I was able to beat it and get several pieces of Cassie Gear and a Skin.
I'm working on a Tower set that should drop a bunch of Erron Black stuff if the whole thing is completed.
I might pay Koins to unlock a Tower set for Cetrion Gear. Eventually, I might do that for Kung Lao.
During all this, I picked up more Time Crystals and might have close to 300 which might get me something in the store. This also racks up Koins for the Krypt.
OMG my AI Raiden just slaughtered Cassie with his 2nd Fatality. Is just me, or does it seem like Cassie's face animation really emotes horror the most of any character when getting killed?
