So... you're mad at MK fans defending a (good) MK game on an MK forum? :lol: :roll:
NRS get your act together

Let me just say this... all games have bugs. Some are more prominent, noticeable, damaging; some are not. From Halo, to COD, Red Dead Redemption to Mass Effect. games have bugs thats just the story. You guys should be thankful that in this day in age, we are allowed to have bugs patched without buying a whole new game altogether. Back in the day, we were less fortunate.
We should be even MORE thankful that MK has a development team that only wants to deliver the best product. They are constantly listening to consumer feedback, attending tournaments, doing whatever they can to make the game better. If it wasn't for them listening to YOU, we wouldn't have Retro-Cyborgs, Rain or anything else by fan demand. I play a lot of video games and i can tell you for sure that Netherrealm Studios care about their product. You see what hardcore MVC3 fans have to put up with, don't you???
another note (and this is just a thought): Maybe the bomb trap is supposed to be there, we aren't completely sure. In the trailer for the Retro Cyborgs, they taunted us by showing the bomb trap after it was patched. Maybe it wasn't a taunt, maybe it was a tease saying that the bomb trap could be used with MK3 Cyrax...once again it's just a thought
My point is, be thankful that you have MK9 to whine about...be thankful that they didn't give up after MKvsDCU

This. People just want stuff to be done overnight. Whining about the DLC/netcode ad infinitum when NRS has repeatedly stated they are working to fix the bugs and issues isn't going to help anything. And even a patch isn't always going to solve things. It could be months before a game's netcode/servers are "fixed". That's the chance you take when you play games online. Sometimes it's not even the netcode or the servers. It could be someone with a bad connection that can make an online session lag, or you might just be using a wireless connection, which has obviously not as reliable as a wired connection. I know people are upset (I don't enjoy the situation, either) and they have a right to be especially since NRS took a chance by not releasing a public beta and simply bragging on and on about the netcode, but all this whining and "biting the hand that feeds you" crap that's going on really needs to stop. Other people are tired of constantly hearing you complain. Be patient, the problem will be resolved sooner or later and we can all play MK9 online happily.

What kind of MK fan are you? If you don't like MK then you kan leave and not play it again, simple as that.

I dont care about online, offline works great so I never complaint about online issues, also DLC is great I really dont care about Skarlet's alt or her spot in the Nekropolis, I can see her in the nekropolis anyway.
Im not a fanboy, Im just a person that tries to enjoy the good things instead of complaint about the bad things.
If online gets fixed im gonna play it more, but at the moment im more than pleased with offline.

NRS seems clueless at times. Why would you release a compatibility pack (that's free) on the PS store? Why not make it a patch instead? Patching it forces players to download it so those who do buy DLC can use it. Oh BTW, this isn't their first game this generation, they should understand how patching works for each platform.

Agreed. I guess Cameron Stroub doesn't really know what loyalty really is. I think it's a better show of loyalty when you show your support for a game series when it's down, not when it's up, and it certainly isn't being a "blind fanboy". I did that with the PS2 era of MK, and it's paid off gloriously with MK9. Sure, it has its issues, but NRS really made a comeback with this entry, and I'm sure NRS. If I had just jumped ship with Armageddon, then I'd be missing out on what a great game MK9 is. I'm really happy with my decision and NRS moving forward with MK.
That goes with the netcode, too. For an issue as prominent as this, it'll take a lot more than just a couple of half-assed patches ala Black Ops to resolve the issue. People say that NRS is professional, that they should know how to deal with the online scene despite them being relatively new to it, and that they should have the issues resolved before the game's release, but things definitely aren't that simple. It might take a while for them to narrow down the problem, but as long as they stay dedicated to the game and put an earnest effort into resolving the problem, then I won't have any complaints and keep supporting their DLC and MK9 in general.

i hate to say it, but this game is going back for credit. it has so many problems online and new problems with patches. this reminds me of bfbc2 and all of its online issues and constant patch f-ups. only difference is, that game was worth waiting for a fix. this game i could care less. its all about the nostalgia. on a serious note, i could care less about fighting games. mk is an exception. its just a damn shame mk got thrust back into primetime with such a deflating result for online. i hate to say it people, but all this dlc is worthless if the online is basically quadrapalegic. i cant believe i spent a good 4 months hyping myself up for the ultimate return of mk. and what do we get? another top advertised game that gets worse online support than XBLA games.

I've never had any of these problems, ever. Maybe it's just a PSN thing, but the longest I've never had to wait for a match was 6min at 3:30 in the morning. And it only happened once. My biggest issue online is KOTH. That's unplayable for me, and the lag is just god awful, but that's why I never play KOTH. Ranked matches are garbage for me because I'm always trying something new, so I stick with Player Matches, and although I have a very competitive spirit, I know the frame rate drops and lag are such that I'd never have fun competing online for real stats. It would drive me insane. XD
That's some nice ass hat logic you got going on there. You're mad at the game, so rather than taking the time to analyze the situation and try to look at it from another perspective, you'd much rather just say to hell with everyone who screws anything up because 'they are professionals and they should no better'. Dude, reality check, that's life. Things get messed up, and people try to fix them. If you really think this game is total and complete garbage, trade it in, sell it, burn it, wipe your ass with it, who cares. But, the fact that you probably still own it, play it, and the fact your even posting on the forum tells me you're like everyone else, and despite the fact your mad, you know all the current problems will be fixed and youll end up loving this game all over again.

Lol at you thinking a car is a necessity, oh how technology has changed peoples perception of life
I do think NRS should be slapped though, they are hired to do a job and right now they cant f****** do it.

Ignorant-ass comments like this make it frustrating to have intelligent debate with people. So you don't need a car in this day and age? How else are you supposed to commute to your job and it sure as hell ain't walking or using a bike, unless your job is literally about 3 minutes away. How do I go to a grocery store without a car, especially if I cart of stuff I need to put in my trunk? Or if my child/someone close to me is injured or harmed in any way and the hospital is a 15 minute drive away, how I am supposed to get there and my get my child some help?Lol at you thinking a car is a necessity, oh how technology has changed peoples perception of life

Transportation is a necessity, especially for situations like above. A car may not be necessary if society was shaped in a different way, but it isn't.
And do people honestly think NRS is just sitting on their asses waiting for a miracle to happen or their paycheck to come? No, they are working their ass off to ensure a better online experience for us and to make DLC for us. They are doing their job, and they are damn good at it, too.

I dont think NRS are sitting on there asses, but they are a buisness, the goal of a buisness to make money. Online play, unless a user buys the game second hand will not have to pay anything.
I do think they are working on some kind of a patch, but i think there main priority will be marketing and producing the dlc for the next 2 months. I dont think online will be totally sorted anytime soon

The team that makes patches and troubleshoot the game's issues is seperate from the team that makes DLC for this game; remember, they have a bigger studio and team of developers now, so they can hype up the game's release and work to fix the bugs and issues of the game simultaneously.

I dont know about you guys but I thought MK vs DC had awesome online play with no lag or freezing at all. No reason not to think they cant do it with this game, so STFU and be patient and NRS will fix it.

Ignorant? lol I was just saying it's not something that you can't live without. Sure you might want it to help you with things like you mentioned but you DON'T NEED a car to survive, not like you need food or water.
I've no doubt NRS are working to sort the problems out but, what good is it if everything they fix leads to something else breaking? What is so complicated about doing a job, that they probably have qualifications in, and getting it right?

Your concept of necessity is very basic compared to mine, as there is more to life than just surviving.
Not every game or job is the same. Coding for a game is complex, especially when it involves networking like the netcode, for example. NRS has said before that the netcode would be excellent, and that it was a 2-year project. Obviously, internal beta testing had to be great for them to brag about it like they did. This isn't the only game that has suffers, will suffer and is currently suffering connection issues and lag while playing online. They did say that they included a lot of different algorithms in the netcode, so maybe a few of those patterns are what are ultimately causing the problems. Or maybe it's something else. I don't really know much about coding for a game, so I'm just using common sense and applying my knowledge of similar fields to this particular field. Anyways, patches aren't always made in a week or 2 as some people think; it can be several months before a game's netcode is "fixed". We just have to wait and hope MK9 is an exception to that.
Here is my 2 cents. At first my opinion was really towards the they are professionals and they should have gotten things like netcode and obvious bugs out after the first patch. There is really no reason for them to have just released a patch and still be having so many issues.
Now my take is this: The video game industry and their customers are obviously a pretty forgiving and laid back bunch. I work in the beer/brewing industry and we are all a bunch of laid back people, so I can understand this. With that in mind I see where both sides are coming from. I also think being that we are all on a MK forum talking about MK that we want NRS and MK9 to succeed. With that being said I think a lot of the frustration not only comes from personal experience playing the game, but also from wanting MK9 to be successful and this current patch really did not help the game out that much. I personally would rather play a VS match with a little lag then spend my time having the screen tell me the game session is no longer available.
The Relax NRS is fixing this it is not that bad side feels that way because everything is going to be alright and we do not want to get down on a game we want to be successful.
The It should have already been fixed by NRS how could they release a patch and still have this many problems side feel that way because they are frustrated by the situation both personally, and because they want the game to be successful.
The difference to me boils down to faith in NRS to get it right and get it right in a time frame that keeps MK9 relevant (a few months from now if they fix everything many people will no longer even care, though they are most likely not represented on this forum). When it comes to arguing matters of faith I have found in my personal experience that it really is not worth the time or effort.
