I am deeply concerned about the lack of good cosmetics in this game

I think this game has a lot of potential and money to be made from cosmetics if done right they must look good, beautiful stuff like league of legends and heroes of newerth and I personally would spend a lot of money.

We’ve all been wanting more cosmietic stuff since S1. I think it all comes down to the fact that this is more of a budget title than the likes of those higher profile MOBAs, as well as less of a F2P game than people think.

@KingHadu

In Heroes of Newerth when I spend big money on “gold collection” alts there is no question of its quality, spell effects change, colors change, the alts are elegant looking. Male characters have alts that are completely female. Orchid and Maya should have had those mmo female body armors man I would pay a ton of money for that as unrealistic as they may seem, heh its a video game and those stuff sell big.

I agree. It would be cool to essentially be able to remake the character however you want…I mean more so that you can do now. An example of something that is coming that gets me excited is Mira… Unlike many on this site, the idea of a vampire character really does nothing for me. That being said, the fact that Mira has a ‘Jack of Blades’ costume makes me really excited, as I’ll be able to role play as a Fable character, and that to me is amazing.

Stuff like that I think would go very far in this game. Honestly, if mods were able to come to PC/Xbox, and be usable online, that would be freaking game changing in my eyes.

@KingHadu

BUT what are you going to do with this $40 USD in KI Gold? how do we know there will even be a season 4? how do we know they would even make new cosmetics for older characters? this 18k gold could end up being paperweight if they don’t continue with this game.

The upcoming Shadow Lords mode is hinted to have a lot of craft-able items, and potential costume stuff in it that you can earn, or use KI Gold to buy / unlock…

Shadow Lords Mode

Hi everyone, We’ve been chomping at the bit to share more about the great stuff coming in Season 3 of Killer Instinct, and Shadow Lords is a big part of that. Here’s a taste! As you know, we’re always looking for ways to disrupt the norm in terms of what players expect from a fighting game, and for solo play, Shadow Lords is no exception. It’s an infinitely replayable solo player mode that pits you and a team of fighters that you’ve assembled against Gargos’ invasion of Earth. We realized tha…

So far that is the only palpable use of KI Gold I can think of that will be in the game. Everything else as of now I feel is a waste.

@KingHadu

And since I hate the entire retro costumes no idea why people like this why does saberwulf look like a rat?

Everybody hates Sabrewulf Retro…at least those who are nostalgic for the OG game. People have been asking for reworks on most of the S1 retros since the beginning, but with DH leaving, and the way S2 came into fruition, I think those concerns / complaints (as far as the Devs go) were just put on the back burner.

@KingHadu

going retro is actually a downgrade (for me) even though there is nostalgia in it. The KI2 versions would have looked a lot better option for retro costumes imo. But yeah as you can see the supreme edition does not seem to interest me much

I hear you, but at the end of the day the Supreme Edition is the best deal if you want the game. Sure there are some perceived missed opportunities, but the game is amazing, and the sum total of what his here is great.
