For example - you get a certain achievement playing as Mileena under that Black Dragon Faction and you unlock Black Dragon Mileena.

I think it's actually an obvious choice to fit in with MKX and it could easily ramp up the alt numbers. It definitely seems like something NRS would do.

How would you feel about this?

If they did faction alts of all factions for all characters, I would shit my pants.

THIS IS THE BEST IDEA I HAVE HEARD FOR MKX.

I'm being serious, I feel bad for not thinking about this before, it'll be freaking amazing but they won't do it :'(.

It would be a lot of Alts, but they already have the basics for designs from past characters and I just think it would be pretty awesome and add a lot of incentive to join certain factions.

That would be really, really awesome.

Brotherhood of Shadow Sonya?
Lin Kuei Kotal Kahn?
Kitana Black Dragon?
Scorpion White Lotus????

So many possibilities there!

Somebody should tweet Ed Boon.

Even if they haven't already thought of this, it would be a cool idea as prizes for the Live Towers.

I could see this happening, but I think IF it did happen you would only get ones that make sense, like a Brotherhood Leader Quan Chi skin or a Grandmaster Sub-Zero skin, and stuff like that.

For example if you join the Lin Kuei and get to a certain level or however that works, you can unlock a special skin for Sub-Zero that you can only unlock by doing certain things while under the Lin Kuei.

I like the idea of the "What If" costumes though, imagine a Brotherhood Of Shadow Raiden or a Lin Kuei Scorpion skin lol

It sounds amazing in theory, but on a practical/logistic scale it simply won't happen (maybe for a select few, and even then only for their corresponding faction).
That'd be 5 alts. per character.

Full outfit, or just a visual cue, like variations? Glowing logo?

I would love to see the intro dialogue between White Lotus Quan Chi and White Lotus Shinnok.


Shinnok: ''I feel very conflicted''

Quan Chi: ''Please end my life''

Shinnok: ''Only if you end mine first.....''


FIGHT!

Brotherhood of Shadow Mileena would be a weird cross between a gothic dominatrix and Maleficent.

I'm okay with this.

Well, we technically got Brotherhood of Shadows alts for all the heroes starting the game as revenants, so there is that... but I can't picture Jax or Sonya having a Black Dragon outfit to mention just an example. 5 faction alts for 24+ characterd when 99% wouldn't make much sense is taking a lot of resources that could be used to improve the quality of more useful aspects IMHO.

We already got multiple unlockable faction kills to show how much support you're giving to your faction the higher the unlock level for your faction kill is.

The only way I see this being feasible is if there were 5 general faction outfits, and your character gets to 'wear' one if they reach high enough in the faction. Maybe a little custom fitting to the size of the character but still the same faction skin for everyone in it. I think this would still be cool because getting the outfit as kinda like a 'welcome to the faction!'

This.

It's a fun idea on paper but not one that's realistic.

That would be awesome! Maybe small changes for each character?

For example: Mileena would get skulls on her sais in Brotherhood of Shadow?

Faction Alt's for ALL characters? F'N Amazing Idea

Black Dragon Sonya
Lin Kuei Scorpion/Shirai Ryu Sub Zero
Special Forces Kano
Brotherhood of Shadow Raiden

Just more awesomeness if it was to be true!!!
UMK3 Mileena was revived by Shinnok as a spy, after Kitana killed her in MKII.

Blue Noob vs Black Sub-Zero. lol

This. Also to mention, all that hard work progress gone each time switching Factions, not that I would care, because the Faction concept sounds ridiculous to me, but I'm sure a lot of people would.

Yes yes yes. I really like OP's idea even if it's an alt only for characters that definitely shouldn't belong in that factor. Special Forced Kano, Red Dragon Sonya, and Lin Kuei Scorpion wow
