Mortal Kombat 11 released last week. While the gameplay was praised, many fans were complaining about the Krpyt and Tower of Time system. Many players commented about the low reward numbers in-game currency – Koins, Soul Fragments, Hearts. With a low amount, players had to grind accessively to unlock skins, augments, and other goodies. People on Reddit and other gaming forums accused Netherrealms (Mortal Kombat Developer Studio) of forcing players to buy in-game currency with real money.
Netherrealms has released a new patch that addresses the players complaints for PlayStation 4 and will be on all other systems soon. Players will earn 3x more Koin, Soul Fragments, and Hearts for games. Tower of Time has also been adjusted in difficulty, payout, and Konsumables. Players stated the difficulty was too difficult and nearly impossible without using Konsumables. Hopefully with these changes, players can unlock more content on their own accord as Mortal Kombat 11 has a lot of extra credit in the Krypts. Below are more specific changes regarding the Tower of Time. Balance notes are also on the subreddit.
