Thank you. If it is indeed a 50% drop for normal fights then the pitchforks are still very much justified.
What kind of fight?

Was the 1000 the first fight and 500 the repeat?
There's so many variables here that I don't trust anything until someone shows the definitive answer.
What needs to happen is a fresh save offline without the patch play fights, then a fresh save online with the patch play those exact same fights and compare.
Anything else is up for debate.

I said the exact same thing 3 hours ago, nobody reported in. Seems like an easy test.
This sounds like we're back on track. Thank you for testing it for us.
I'm not getting this til tomorrow so I'm definitely staying offline if I can just play for a few hours rather than months and unlock everything. Aint nobody got time for dat.

Ok good, we know the truth.
I am getting 10 koins per 4 hit combo. That means post patch it should be 2.

Nothing is settled until someone has a brand new save tested on pre-patch and a brand new save tested on post-patch.

Once again, I'm going off memory. So I'll do it again to double check in a few hours when I'm off work. I wish someone else can confirm too though.
Just the first fight in story mode.
See my above response. I could've misread it (maybe not). I won't be able to double check for another few hours.

Wait what? Your getting 10 coins from a 4 hit combo?
TheSlySoul

Yep. Playing it with no patch installed.
This thread is about this alleged drop rate, so...
But yeah, the Goro thing sucked. Dunno why the Easy Fatality stuff is such an issue though.
Didn't see that initially. After reading it and noticing it's only a one sentence mention I'm not exactly convinced he knows anything more than we do. So far everything still seems to cite the reddit post.
I'm not even saying it's necessarily wrong or inaccurate, to be clear, but until we know for sure people are jumping the gun.
Ok, try this:
Play the very first fight of story mode.
Delete your save, install the patch.
Play the very first fight of story mode.
What are the payouts?
Keep in mind that MK9 had decreasing payouts for paying the same story fight twice, so it's not enough to just compare the first fight pre and post patch.

I don't remember getting anything like this post patch. Is this one of the day one patch's things?

If I don't want the patch to be installed, do I have to keep my PS4 offline?
There is a way o turn off automatic updates, isnt there?

2500 down to 200 is a rather large difference, ugh.
*edit* it must also have something else taking effect to drop that much, surely.

Oh someone already came up with that zinger? Darn it, just when I thought I came up with something clever. *pouts*

From what I've seen of Giant Bomb's quick look, the game looks really good but there are so many things that are turning me away.

I shot one at boon when most of this stuff came to light.
I said something. Like "I can't believe this is what boon wanted for mortal kombat x" and I was shortly blocked probably 15 mins later.
So..?

Did you actually specify what you were talking about?

Surely, you didn't just say that. It's the equivalent of saying "Ugh, this series has gone downhill, thanks Boon", and expecting a cordial response.
They unlock alt costumes, music for the sound test, concept art for characters and arenas, each characters second fatality (except Goro since he's DLC and comes with both from the start), and each characters second, third, fourth, and fifth brutality (except Goro).

Artwork, soundtracks , costumes. Ect. Nothing real important.
added my 2 cents in bold.
Wow @ all the cashgrab stuff that is happening with this game. I was already not okay with the whole "pre-order to play Goro/ *buy Goro!* in the char selection screen" thing but the simple fatalities and now this takes it to a whole new level.
I was actually contemplating buying this game; not anymore.

I will post my koin results pre-patch.
Very Easy Klassic Tower is 1500 roughly.

"I can't believe @noobde wanted #MKX to be a 3 hour game full of distasteful microtransactions and this day one need patch. I just can't."
I'm unblocked now, so maybe he's lurking gaf? Who knows. Also I know I may have came out a bit harsh. If he is lurking gaf, I apologize. I love the MK franchise. I just don't believe this is up to par to the MK name.
Remember to start from a fresh save.
It may be that the payouts decrease on repeat play.

Seems that MK is becoming equally a platform to buy DLC and shortcuts as it is a game
Thanks guys. Not a big deal then. I plan to play long term, so eventually the coins will be in excess.

It is a shame it is full of cash grabs.
The game is a blast to play.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
So you can play without the patch, as long as it's offline? It won't lock you out and say "this game needs to be updated" or whatever?
TheSlySoul

Luckily yes. Just connect online and start it up ASAP. The game lets you play while downloading.
Patches can only be patched when you quit the game.

The micro-transactions aren't a big deal, but I already spoke my piece in the other thread. Along with the "3 hour game" remark, I doubt he appreciated you reducing the game down to that.
If this ruckus about the patch turns out to be misinformation, then it's also something that I would be upset at people condemning me.
I mean, you're implicating that it's a cashgrab in front of the creator's face. It's a low accusation, and blocking people that are just out there to spew comments like this isn't out of order. Besides, he un-blocked you. That speaks to his character, and you can't deny he loves this franchise and his fans.

Exactly. This won't change the fight mechanics, it won't change the competitive viability for the game. It won't change characters movesets. you know the purely essential things that you expect out of a "fighting game"
The microtransactions suck, yes indeed. Yes it will take me longer to gather koins to buy stuff in the krypt.
But if having to play the game having hundreds of matches in versus, doing the towers / arcade ladders, and single player matches, as well as story. I am fine with this.
It's not like I'm going to drop this game once I'm finished with story mode and seeing each fatality once.
No I plan to play this for months far beyond the games release. This means I'll probably have so many koins after I play the hell out of this game, that I won't even need them.

Here is what I think now. The game has more modifiers than it shows. You can tell that because I just did a 4 hit combo and got 15 koins! and then in another battle against someone else got 4.
So the patch comes out and it does change some modifiers, for reasons I can't tell. And that resulted in very odd koin payouts for anyone accustomed to the original payouts? Strangely I first heard about this right before a streamer got kicked of Twitch when he was bitching.
But oddly even in my current patched game I am getting weirdness from time to time.
Or the entire thing is a bug.
