Yeah, it's quite infuriating. I'm personally not too worried in the long run, I'm sure that between people complaining about it, and their general analytics, they're aware that maybe it's a bit steep, and I'm sure we'll get future patches where it'll be balanced out in the player's favor a bit.

Same with some of the more advanced fighting maneuvers. Personally, I think that whole "Perfect Block" technique is way too difficult to pull off, the timing for it has to be way too perfect, and on the off chance that you do manage it, there's usually not enough time to react with a follow up the way they intended it to. So stuff like that is probably also what's adding to the difficulty of the towers, is that the execution for these advanced moves is a bit too difficult, especially in harder battles where you're just worrying about keeping your guard up and not letting the enemy AI perform those crazy combos on you.

Like I said, I'm sure they'll take notice and patch it.

Have you considered using an AI build to get through the really shitty parts of the towers? I have a Kung Lao build that will go 30+ deep in endless tower (had to turn it off so I don't know how far he'd go) that still has trouble with some of the Towers of Time. That tells me just how hard these towers really are. If you haven't used AI yet, go set one up in the Kustomization area. I also like watching it fight because is shows me the possible combo strings and is frankly probably the best version of my customized characters. To use AI, you pick your character on the select screen and hit the button it shows to turn on AI.

Ok I really think they reverted some changes they made the other day through servers. Or something....

And last guy on the tower is now 2 difficulties higher, at least that's how it feels. Nowhere near medium difficulty and then you add D'Vorah showing up every 3 seconds. Literally, the cooldown is 3 seconds. This one and the other one I explained in op is the only 2 I played today and they are soooooo much harder then any of the previous ones AND IT'S THE SAME DIFFICULTY. Doesn't make any sense.

Yesterday and the day before there were some towers with Hard difficulty (boss fight) and I beat them with ease. Now, medium feels like very very hard against the last guy. Never happened before.

There we go. Boss D'Vorah, more health, hard difficulty, beat her in 3 tries. Felt easier than last guy in previous tower on medium.

Well, in the latest "emergency" Kast, they said they already did some adjustments that they were able to do on their server side. So some things should already have changed in the Towers of Time. Other things they can only adjust through a patch, which they said they would try to roll out by the end of the week or early next week.
I think I'm going to do arcade ladders for the moment and looking around the krypt. Maybe some online and/or AI battles (apparantly some skins are only available through that mode).

The ToT are the perfect bullshit. I gave up on the game after I tried to play the Scorpion tower. I faced Liu Kang but not only he reads all inputs has a lot of life, he has poision hands and 2 modifiers, poison and Bo Rai Cho's farts. Both come extremely fast and not even with Scorpion AI I can't win. The game was made for frustration and I don't like that (even with a patch or not). First impressions count. I have the Kombat Pack preordered but I don't even care more for the game. I don't want to spend eternities in ToT to unlock things and sometimes the points I got weren't sufficient to get all rewards. So, although an amazing Krypt, this game suffers for the bullshit that the ToT is.

They do seem to rely a lot on the Time of Towers, which I don't like. I just rather do Story, Arcade Ladder and Versus with friends and that's about it. Test Your Luck in the others games was a fun sidestep, but for brief periods. So ToT is something I would do from time to time and briefly, but certainly don't need it as the main focus of the game (or unlocking stuff for that matter).

Took me 4hrs to beat scorpion. Ridiculous.
