Blizzard added a Cash Shop for real $$$ and Blizzdrones defended this.
If you are over level 100 in Overwatch, you have to buy your Loot Boxes for real money, if you don't want to farm the same boring maps with the same boring characters over and over again (Blizzard slowed down the exp per level, to push their Cash Shop).
Gearbox is based to not add a real $$$ Cash Shop.
I am hyped for the new story maps, fixes and heroes in Battleborn.

New battleplan.
The good: rematching added to cut down on wait times for matchmaking.
The bad: another week of no news about new content, no balance changes, no adjustments to lore challenges, basically nothing anyone has actually been asking about for the last two weeks.

>>144966868
In my opinion, it's been an absolute blast! I haven't been able to stop ever since I got it, partly because it has some pretty damn good replay value.
>>144881453
Well, see, that's sort of the reason I had followed Battleborn for ages: I hated MOBA's with a passion, until I looked at and heard of Battleborn, which got me curious.
>>144962739
you guys know its possible for a game to apply hitboxes in a manner besides "perfectly grafted to models", right?
>>144971697
Nah nah... I'm sure that at worst, it'll at least have a cult following, as some games and shows do. Like Firefly!
>>144972561
Are you saying that what we're seeing in the two webms is a good thing?
>>144972768
not directly a good thing, but important to game balance
if overwatch had CS style hitboxes, i imagine shotguns would all become useless and autoaim characters like summetra and winston would become broken
>>144949336
>my oc is used for an op
i'm honored
>>144949476
Sup~
>>144972561
Well... one's an issue of an oversized hitbox that makes TF2 huntman snipers look like pure skill all the time, and the other's an issue of extreme aim assist, which isn't normally an issue, except when it's done artificially in that it makes accuracy irrelevant.
>>144964568
>If you are over level 100 in Overwatch
You get reset to level 1, and get accelerated loot boxes for 20 levels or so. Which is more than I can say for Battleborn, since once you hit command rank 100 it stops. Once again, Gearbox fucked up.
>>144966868
It's okay for $30, but getting more and more dead. You still get 8 story missions and 26 characters to mess about with in them solo, even if you can't find a group. Competitive is a mess right now and most games are one sided. If you're good you will stomp the other team constantly.
>>144971697
We're down to about 500ish online in the lows, and sub-2000 players peak. How much further can it go?
>>144974031
Except that #1: Each character has character ranks, and along the way of completing those, you'll also obtain some loot boxes. #2: Loot is obtainable in PvE. Both (rarely) in box form and (more commonly) as items directly. Lastly, #3: Credits, which is the currency for buying loot boxes is obtainable with simple gameplay.

>Quick Kill Bonus
>Quick Kill Bonuses occur when you when an enemy dies before it reaches its Quick Kill Time Limit. The Quick Kill timer begins as soon as an enemy takes damage from any source, and stronger enemies have longer Quick Kill Time Limits.
YET ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THE GAME DOES FUCK ALL TO EXPLAIN. HOW MANY MORE OF THESE ARE THERE GEARBOX?
>>144974413
>Each character has character ranks, and along the way of completing those, you'll also obtain some loot boxes.
But only once, so fundamentally the issue remains unchanged.
>Loot is obtainable in PvE. Both (rarely) in box form and (more commonly) as items directly.
Let's grind more in a mode I don't care for in a game I paid $60 for so I can get items that will affect the mode I care about. Nice design, Gearbox.
>Lastly, #3: Credits, which is the currency for buying loot boxes is obtainable with simple gameplay.
Which I can't spend, since I'll need about 250k to unlock all 5 characters that they're going to introduce. Fantastic.
>>144974683
Huh... well that feature does come at a surprise.
Anyhow... Counterpoint #1: It's true. It's not by far a solution to the issue, but it is a point to be considered that may not be apparent to everyone to serve as an alleviate.
Counterpoint #2: Well... unfortunately a large portion of this is sourced from a matter of opinion. I myself don't mind PvE, so I partake in the occasional mission. If Gearbox threw in the rare random piece of gear from versus, that would definitely help solve the issue for people on your end.
Counterpoint #3: Can't argue there... one other reason I will admit to me doing more PvE is that I've been led to believe that I get more credits from it.

I don't doubt it, it's just really hard to find art for him, and i'm a rank and a half away from Master of Caldarius.
>>144979301
Well... now that you point out that complicated character design might be an issue for artists... I can actually see that issue for quite a lot of the characters.Though when you think about it, his front is mostly polygons and shapes...The backside however has those jets, and those frankly are difficult to even visualize even as you're looking at them!
So if there was a thing in Battleborn that you'd definitely would like to see improved, what would it be?
>Hard mode: Nothing about Toby.
For me personally, it would probably revolve around the campaign level known as 'The Experiment', particularly because of how most advanced missions seem to go on it.
I'd love it if the primary object to defend regained 'some' portion of health between phases. You know, during those parts you're sent off to do something else, because DAMN...after 4+ waves of advanced level minions and a tank, which frankly has usually been the thing to end most mission attempts...from NUMEROUS DIRECTIONS... the thing's already about to break.
It also doesn't help that most of the enemies get 2-4 different things to swing and shoot at anyhow, so the team usually gets stretched thinly.

>>144989657
Campaign is a tad short, but well done imo. I quit League permanently after 5 years, and I don't even feel 1/100th of the rage I used to when I play BB. Character design is grand, dialogue is top-tier, and new content pretty regularly.
>>144989657
Campaign is pretty good, but short and some would say it's a little repetitive. I think how there's sometimes different dialogue when you play, and even if you play with different characters, is a nice touch

>>145015532
Kinda surprising they arent laying out even the current plan for the dlc
>>145016269
2k marketing has their fingers around Gearbox's collective throat.
They were super chatty about what they had in the pipe and when to expect it before launch. 2 week in, all of a sudden the chatter turns into a bunch of wishy washy "hmm, well, we've got stuff we're working on that we can't wait to share with you but we can't tell you about it yet ;)", and the other week one of the developers finally spills the beans on twitter that the whole tier 2 skins affair is being held up on account of 2k marketing. Which implies it's not the only thing being held up because of them, they probably jumped in thinking they were doing damage control by holding back any promises of any future content while they assess what they can cut back on to reduce their losses.
I have a sickening feeling that "tier 3" skins are dead in the womb.
Why is 'Max health + while shields are depleted' a thing you can get?
Why?
>>145013621
The giant swarm of dudes on the core that always manages to happen when you only have two dudes, even if you both get up to the roof when the warp anchors land there and stop the mobs from breaking through the windows.
I think it might be a skill issue, though, because the first time I played it with two people I did a shitty job holding my side, and the second time that random Deande couldn't keep her side held during the last wave even though I was doing just fine.
>>145021179
Eldrid have no shield at base values. Their shield is always depleted, unless they're getting overshielded, or went and used gear that grants a max shield buff.
>>145022470
Neither of the landing pad waves are anything to be concerned about. At worst, a player may need to go down and clear the spawns of nothing but Evolved Thralls, but it's not hard to do that quickly and return to position.
Build Thumper Turrets and Flash Traps inside and they will take care of themselves.
But the anchors that land on top and break open windows are a problem. While it's mostly more evolved Thralls, the shield Thralls are tough and do a LOT of damage to the core, and there will usually be 2-3 that spawn unless you can kill the anchors before they drop them (though this isn't optimal because if you kill anchors prematurely, you're hurting your score). So those definitely should be the focus.
Also if you're doing this with a low number of players, just make sure nobody's playing anyone super squishy. Marquis, Orendi, and Mellka do not take well to having the spawns from the anchors jumping on them at once.
>>145022724
That only works on Kelvin, because he's the only one with a base shield value to have "depleted".
And then it's self-defeating because as soon as he uses a skill (he has one with a 5 second cooldown too), his shields aren't depleted anymore.
Would it be a good or viable idea to get character guides and out them in the OP?
>>145023451
If you're willing to put in the effort, I doubt there'd be a problem.
There's already some well written stuff on the Gearbox forums for several characters.
>>145021179
Get an Elduar (those guys have shield recharge rates and shield gained per second but no max shield capacity). Shield also help prevent you from getting head shot.
Get an item that gives a pisspoor amount of shielding like the Pacifier legendary or just a cheap ass max shield item like a common one with a con in an irrelevant stat for your BB). When that shielding gets destroyed you get the health instantly.
Also it's good in fights against shield strippers since if they strip your shield super fast you have the back up health to make up for it.
>>145023683
Do you gain health to fill the new max?
>>145022724
Their value is at zero.
If max shield value>0 and current shield value=0=depleted . If max shield value = 0 then you can't have a depleted shield because you have nothing to be depleted of.
Rogues feel like the most well rounded team
>Reyna - support
>Orendi - offense
>Toby - defense/tank
>Whiskey - long range
>Shayne/Aurox - close quarters
>>145026631
Toby can't even begin to be classified as a tank.
Defender =/= tank.
And when I think about it, it is pretty weird that they're completely lacking that role. But then, UPR also lacks a supporter.
>>145026631
Toby has no defensive measures to boost his own defensive stats though asides form 2 helixes and one is pretty hard to choose since the other 2 are very good also.
>there are more people playing a Wii U than this game
Seriously. What led Gearbox to believe that they could just make a game, NOT advertise the hell out of it, and expect it to sell right next to its superior twin brother?
>>145026631
>Toby
>Defense/tank
Sadly no. His shield is pathetic and his hitbox is absurd so his health just melts really fast. Even if he was a tank his hitbox would still be absurd. Toby's more like Marquis with an absurd range of harass and some area control if you try to jump on him, but he's so easy to kill if you jump on him without his stun available.
>>145026631
And Whiskey is a versatile attacker, its unfair to call him exclusively long rang since it depends on the match, map and what you want to do with him. Without his scope you're probably not gonna be able to hit anything at great ranges.
>>145026631
Whiskey isn't a long range character.
He's a dedicated gunner, but he's midrange.
Scope extends that a little bit, and if you're good with it, he's fantastic and no-one will see you. But you'll never be able to duel someone who's really long range.
You'll be fantastic at harassing them though, especially if you have a shield pen gear. Marquis and Toby should disengage once their shield drops, sneaking some hp damage in there is great, and should be a nasty surprise.
>>145020454
Tier3 skins are still coming I'd expect since they're full on microtransactions with real world money. No way 2k is gonna give up that potential revenue stream that will continue to make them money when they eventually decide to transition to f2p for the final nail in the coffin of Battleborn's unfortunate story.

>>145028347
Hell his offense isn't that special either. Infact he's pretty gimped.
If I find a piece of equipment with a triggered cooldown reduction, that's immediately better than a static reduction, right?
Say I've got a watch with -6.5% cooldown reduction.
I've also got amediocrepiece of gear with the Smart prefix, so it has -3.9% cooldown for 5 seconds on a crit.
Assuming I can land a crit every 5-7 seconds, the second one is better, right?
>>145028662

>implying the wii u is a bad console
Literally the only one worth buying this gen given personal computing power in (((current year))). It's comical how bad /v/irgin taste is when the wii u is the most ridiculed console on the board.
Just did the Saboteur mission solo Veteran mode with Toby.Got a gold rating
How the hell did that even happen. I remember my first few runs with a full team being miserable on normal mode and I wondered how anyone could solo this shit, especially since its also the worst optimized map.
>>145037175
If you've played Toby in PvE you know that its basically impossible for anyone else to out DPS you unless they intentionally stand in front of you. It's absurd how much damage he can put out with his shield and his charged railgun shots. But that's the only situation he's spectacular in and his shield dies absurdly fast. If they have to nerf his railgun to buff his shield, ultimate and general defenses I'd gladly take it.
>>145037461
Given your character, yes and no. Look at the lengths of your cooldowns and how often you crit enemies. Are you landing crits constantly? Are you just zoning and not really headshotting often? Basically playstyle/do you suck check for which is better. It's usually the crit one.
>>145038620
They shouldnt need to nerf anything of Toby's to fix his shit. He's not some god in specific situations given one of his three skills is completely terrible, and one is spotty at best. He won't be Alani tier if his ult is reworked. Nerfing his railgun in favor of fixing his ult or shield won't bring him up to par at all.
>>145037175
Dude's got a fucking crazy crit multiplier and pretty big damage to begin with.
Even mid-game he crits for like 600-700 damage.
If he can get a good angle and no one is counter sniping him, he can shut down half the enemy team just through sheer damage forcing them to run away.
He needs help, but a damage buff definitely is unnecessary. His biggest problem is that he can't do shit if the other team has a sniper to counter him, it's too easy to spot that giant glowing shield and go "oh, Toby set up again. Better get rid of that".
>overwatch fag gets near instantly deleted
are mods gods or are they playing battleborn
but on the real, PVE content in this game is welcome but I don't know how I'd feel about strong focus on it
something like raids I'm not sure I'm on board for, they'd have to be good and not the cut and paste shit like half the campaign missions already
the fucking devs already feel like they werent working on borderlands which only had "ok" fights, idk if they can handle making relevant and fun pve content as a focus
>>145039513
I feel like PvE is going to be the focus of DLC and PvP will just be added to the base game, but then again 2KShillswill probably make it all DLC.
As for PvE raids would be nice but I'm actually hoping to see more faction-based environments. There were no Rogue or LLC territories featured in the base game, and we know respectively their territories in the Solus System are the Detritus ring and the Arcfleet. I'd love to see some PvE maps based on those themes, and we might even get more pvp map themes on that note too.
They've also still got to cover the aftermath of the fall of Rendain. The Varelsi are obviously still a threat but having Rendain in power seemed like their best chance at finishing the job. There's also the question of whether or not we push into Varelsi territory and try to recover our lost stars using the data recovered during The Experiment mission, which would be another cool locale to see.
However, I expect the PvE stuff to be relatively spaced out in its release. I have no doubt their priority is making PvP viable for the long haul and it will likely be the focus of most updates.
>>145039197
I think that's more of a only snipers counter snipers problem. Bad map design leads to entrenched snipers sniping in complete safety across the map.
What if the Jennerit DLC character was Rendain?It's not, but entertain the thought.
>>145041408
Metal Stakes would be overpowered as shit.
>homing, pin, silence
Yea fuck that.
>>145041408
I actually kind of wanted it to be. There were a couple of parts during the final fight at the Heliophage where I wanted to believe Rendain was having second thoughts about his alliance.We supposedly killed him by opening a Varelsi portal on top of him during the Heliophage's destruction,but that's more likely to result in his return as the primary antagonist once more than an ally at this point.
>>145041721
Isic didn't retain his original mech suit or even a semblance of similar abilities. Rendain would at minimum be toned down if not have a completely different ability set. After all,his arm was destroyed in the final battle.
And caldariustook down a high-tier warship on his own in his mission.I imagine that thematically he'd just 1-shot sentries on incursion if they kept him that way
>>145042451
Is this proper spoiler general or btbg

I always though that Isic was played in his playable character form becauseit was Kleese's idea to put him in a suitand make him fight for them.
>>145043645
>MFW I actually deleted the original post because I felt like it was wrong to leave some spoilers plaintext.
>>145045525
That's correct. I was just saying that character abilities within the context of some story missions don't necessarily match up with how they are as a playable character.

I understand that, and the final part of the mission was still on the rough side because of how easy it is for that defense objective to get smashed, but I was more confused about getting the gold so easily where as every other veteran mission has been silver or I had to run several times (Renegade and Experiment) to get silver.

that webm is just a classic case of latency though. the replay is from the server's perspective, which is [latency] milliseconds behind the client

What's your favorite piece of gear /btbg/?
Legendary or otherwise.
They really need to cut down on Whiskey foxtrots ult animation startup and/ or ending animation.
>>145099802
That Attack damage one that gives like 9% and and gives more the more melee attacks you hit..Comes with some attack speed too.
>>145099802
Kleese's is awesome.
>>145101689
You can cancel it with sticky launcher or scrap cannon.
>>145102132
El Dragon's is pretty great once you realize that the health penalty is like 40 health only if you miss for a 25% skill damage boost as well as 1.05 second shield recharge delay.
>>145102956
Really?
I thought the ult was like a reload of sorts so animations interrupted it or you had to let it play through.
>>145103147
Nope, cue up either of those skills when the animation starts and you'll go straight into the aim for them, if you cancel out of the skill then the animation doesn't restart, you just go back to normal firing.
>>145099802
Toby's because its a piece of gear that really should've been a helix option instead, and to top it all off its locked behind one of the worst lore requirements ever.

If you haven't already gotten it just visit google play store (or your equivalent mobile gaming app) and it should offer the update to you from its store page.
>>145116025
What have you guys done to me, I played benedit once and he was pretty cool but I just couldn't stand his phrases and general voice. And now every day I visit this thread even as I lose hope for Battleborn I gain attraction to Benedict.

He ramps up with his mutations. Killer regen, Triple napalm is pretty good. Shield Pen, if you're into that sorta thing.
>>145133586
Did you do the levels on Advanced? That gets you Ghalt and Deande.
>>145135024
nope not one mission done in advanced. It's very weird
>>145133238
check your helix menu, fella
>>145131330
Didn't mean to quote.
>>145133238
Only 113, 131 if you use your chargeand you should, it's only a second or two.
Your helixes make them burlier. But it's still not a whole lot.
Reflecting fire doesn't mean they don't take damage.
>>145131448
He will feel really slow, especially if you've been playing Mike.
Mike comes online at level 2-3; Whiskey at 5ish, but gets a lot better.
There is a serious bug with Miko's healing beam. It seems to make whiny assholes out of people randomly when you switch to healing someone else.
>>145131448
Whiskey rewards you for positioning and aiming his abilities general attacks well.
I mean it applies to all characters, but whiskey lacks any meaningful escape ability or "fuck off" button, or at least what he has is not flashy enough to scare people off. But if you can land your damage consistently your enemies will learn the hard way how quickly they'll "Explode into red mist or something."
>>145136776
I've not had that bug but it sound easy to fix by walking over to the regen deployable and pinging it like a madman.
Telling non-eldrid's to "fuck off if your shield goes down" can work too.
>>145133238
They block 113 each with an additonal 113 with a helix.
Mainly the purpose of them is to let him pretty much be a walking "Good luck, I'm behind 7 proxies" alongside his Aegis Shield and good max shield capacity inanttely and with gear and/orhelix boosting it as well as having a very good lore legendary.
Lie with said lore legendary and a 0 cost shield delay reduction gear and his left helix he can reduce his shield recharge delay to ~2 seconds.
>>145135171
Whiskey has a skill that is completely useless unless you take a helix that is pretty much mandatory. OM's frag grenade is mandatory but at least it's godlike.
Every other helix that deals with said Shrapnel offers little benefit and/or is super inferior to the other option.
OM just occupies his own niche much better then Whiskey does his.
>>145141989
Shrapnel has nearly three useful builds, what option do you think is mandatory?
Whiskey needs a few of his helix choices moved to lower levels.
He needs Flakback as a choice on a tier separate from Napalm.
And he needs Stick n' Sap to be buffed, so that it becomes a stronger alternate pick from Triple Threat.
The way I see it, ideally you could build Whiskey basically the same way he is now, except he can also fit the mobility of Flakback in without sacrificing Napalm, so he has a tool that OM doesn't have as a hybrid pusher.
OR
He can be built solely as an assassin, slow + an improved Stick n' Sap could make him dangerous if his helix has been shifted around to give him Stick n' Sap earlier in his tree.
>>145054183
since someone tried spoonfeeding you I'll give you this
that Cald pic is based off the "tiny ayy lmao in robot suit" trope
>>145144350
why would you build around Shrapnel?
>>145140415
aegis blocks fuck all damage, same with wards
there's a reason nobody plays isic anymore
>>145131976
/trash/
>>145149823
and his huge crit spot, its like an overwatch sniping simulator for every marquis spammer.
>>145149823
He's balanced anon.
This game doesn't deserve a separate general.
>>145153601
crippled, more like
literally no reason to use him
So did the hot fix change matchmaking to global? The two games yesterday that I played had half the players with yellow/red pings.
I feel like its just easier to solo advanced story with marquis than try to find a group. Its' unbelievably easier and faster.
>>145156347
He's a less squishy version of toby with a marginally lower base damage output and a much better ult.
>>145157534
less awful version of utter garbage
ISIC doesn't see any pvp play anymore because he's too squishy for his big size and slow movement speed and gets utterly destroyed by melee characters
it doesn't help that RW now breaks when anyone as much as farts in its general direction
>much better ult
ISIC's ult shines in pve, in pvp anyone with half a brain will cc you out if it immediately
ghalt, toby, deande, isic and kelvin have the worst ults in the game

>>145147118
You wouldn't, you just choose from the three shrapnel-only helix choices.
Scrap Bank and knockback make it a great enforced repositioning tool
Shield Scrapper and marking targets makes it a great opener, and the reveal shits on Mike's, S&A's, and Deande's escapes. Though I've never had to fight a Deande. Ever.
>>145168364

That's the conversation I was having earlier.

You
>little twat that always has to shitpost whenever someone is having an actual discussion about the game
I hope it's dead because everyone's playing the game, at least.
>>145158250
Kelvin's is hindered by the casting delay and the ass backwards way it behaves during placement.
"Here lemme just pop up 12 feet closer to you because I didn't want to clip through that wall that I barely was touching when you cast it"
I will never understand how we keep nearly falling off the board, while /mmg/ doesn't.
>>145168221
Whiskey really has too many skills related to characters with shields.
"You can drain shields with grenades! You can do extra damage to shields with scrap bank! You can ignore shields entirely with your ultimate, because clearly we didn't give you enough tools to deal with shields!"
"What do I do about characters that don't have shields to begin with? All my skills are half-useless."
"Uhhhh..."
>>145173172
It only takes an hour to fall to page ten, and odds are most players aren't paying a super huge fuckton of attention to /vg/.
>>145178060
It's not *bad* that he has a lot of options to deal with shields.
You can choose which of them you want, then melt people's faces with burst-fire crits.
>>145178593
Still?

How? If you're at the very beginning the sentry isn't in danger until someone activates it and if your team is busy gathering all the possible loot then it sounds like you need to chill and loot stuff with them before activating it.
If the Sentry was activated, you passed through the door and your team has wandered off then well shit happens. Idk how anything that isn't a premade could fail to see the missions gonna fail unless you got stuck with 4 players around command rank 5.
