New member, hi! So, I know that a lot of people have been komplaining ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) about the KRYPT being way too unforgiving, and I have to say, it's very, very true. I was up to 1.5M koins and I went into the KRYPT, and literally opened maybe 30 - 40 chests, and it cost a total of 650K koins to open up them all. It dropped me to around 780K, which just hurts to see as I thought I could open well over 50 chests without spending over 400K. And on top of all that, I also had 930 hearts, and spent 750 of them for 3 chests, and had 4K souls and spent all 4K of them (2K for the bridge that leads to absolute garbage, and 2K on normal stuff). What I'm trying to get at is, the KRYPT is very overpriced. It took me over 12 hours of grinding the Towers of Time to get the koins, and it was basically for nothing. I played the entire campaign, then instantly jumped into the Towers of Time from 8 PM to 8 AM, and I could have LITERALLY spent all the koins in under an hour that took me half a day to get... That's really, REALLY, bad balancing. And from all the time I spent grinding on this game, I didn't get a single piece of gear for a character I wanted which really annoys me. I maybe received 30 character skins in total which is WAY too low of a number considering that every character in the game has 60 skins, and there's 25 characters, so that's a whopping 1.5K skins that I only got 1.3% percent of. All the rest, around 50%+ were just konsumables, concept art, augments, etc. And to think, I spent 1M koins in total that I could've saved up until they fixed the KRYPT... It makes me wanna cry.

Ok quick maths. 25 x 15 = 1500 skins. You got 30 skins which is 2% for 3 days of grinding. Multiply that by 50 which is 150 days = 5 months.

So for a game which is supposed to have a very long life(according to devs) this is actually great. The only problem is you don't get gear for the character you want. So it could take you around 6 months of grinding to get that only skin you really really want.

Which is one of only two gripes I have with this game. The rest of the game is perfect to me and I love it... but this is a real pain in the ass though!

I think the trouble with the skins is also that you unlock a skin, but just have one color variation of it. So you'll be getting the same skin from different chest, just with a different color. They could have better let you unlock a skin and in some cheaper chests, different color schemes.
The skins aren't bad, it's the way they are handled and what is considered a "new skin".

The hearts and souls are indeed not balanced right. And I saw the bit with repairing the bridge with souls, only to end up with one chest which you have to pay for aswell. That was stupid. I thought once you would fix the bridge, you would be able to get into a new mountain area which would also have a lot of chest. I expected more from the top pit area in the Krypt.

I agree. That's one of the most annoying things. Say you get the skin you want after taking however long to grind for the koins, and you're all happy, then you find out it's the literal worst color variation of said skin. I'm not saying I want EVERY skin, brutality, fatality, etc to be unlocked day 1, but like, c'mon. 15K for a concept art that 75% of the community aren't going to look in-depth at... I understand it's bad luck to get those items in the chests, but Jesus. It seems like every 1/3 chests you find are above 6K, and they give hot garbage. Spend 8+ hours for 1M koins, and can spend them in 1 hour, and get nothing you like. It's a little unfair.

I played MK11 a week now and maybe spend 2 million gold coins in the krypt and I don't where to go with my gold coins. Right now I have to kill Cetrion 50 times for the amulet and forge Shinnoks amulet to go further in the krypt.... Oh... and I try to obtain every head for the krypt to unlock the throneroom. That's it.

If you try towers of time pick up Noob, switch to K.I. and watch and lay back. You earn so many coins and stuff for nothing :/ The krypt really don't take months... The only grind I see are the heads (50 brutalities/fatalies against each kharacter in the game) and the hearts you gained. Ok, and the skins takes also some time, but that's it.

Too be honest I don’t mind a grind to get everything but rather than unlocking skins/gear randomly you unlock skin/gear tokens to unlock who you want.

I could care less about the icons though
