Man wheres the co-op content

[DivineSolarity]

Like you can't even 1v1 friends anymore and get xp for your characters like you could in the last game.

Personally I loved doing co-op towers as I don't care to climb ranked much. Elder once suffices for me.

Would love to have them back and actual xp for casual content.

The MK11 coop towers were designed for 5 mins of fun. Every coop tower got abandoned 2 days after release.

Co-op?... HA! The game actually has co-op tag functionality in its code:

...Yet, NRS instead barfed up those god-awful Kameos instead of game functionality 95% of the player base would have preferred. Heck, player-2 cannot even use most of the unlocked content in local PvP play (as was the case in Injustice 2) -- what makes anyone think that they'd provided a flashed-out co-op experience in a game as half-baked and halfway a "games as a service" MMO, as MK1 is? 🥴

I am not sure coop tagging with 2 base characters would be better than kameos. The thing that saved kameos is the idea of picking rare chars like Motaro, Shujinko.

Designed for 5 mins of fun. For you perhaps. I play for hours. Not everyone only gets 5 minutes of fun out of content like that.

Personally I enjoy tag in combat. Kameo's are fine. You just don't like tag combat.

I hear you. In MKX I spent most of my time in the simple vs mode. Hours upon hours spent in there because I just like to 1v1 but now MK12 punishes you for that with no experience, koins, nothing.

Invasions is your best friend if you want to earn char XP and koins/credits fast. Thats how it was in season 1 and is the same now in season 2.

That's the problem. Its not fun. I don't enjoy matches filled with stipulations, I just want to 1v1. The game punishes you for not playing it and that's backwards game design.

This is the issue. Some of us just want to play friends and level up.

I get your point but sadly thats how the system is. Its either towers, invasions or online (casual / ranked) only.

The way I see it, NRS might think that giving XP from private matches might be considered boosting.

Boosting logic is irrelevant and illogical. Boosting xp on a character doesn't assist you in any way in online play.

Fair enough and you may have a point but what I stated is most likely how NRS thinks... doesnt sound logical but seeing the things going on, nothing seems logical for the most part.

That's also their way of forcing people to play Invasions : take all the temporary rewards there. They've designed this mode, it's mostly unpopular, but they're not backing off from it, they keep spending resources and time every month to develop it (updating the maps, etc), so they WANT people to spend most of their time on it. Hence the amount of grinding needed to unlock stuff.
