How the fuck have I not been seeing Marquis chilling on top of the middle MINREC altars on Paradise before?
It was actually pretty entertaining because as soon as I noticed he was up there it was basically:
>Pounce up there
>he either gets knocked down and I drop down after him and body block him from retreating
>I managed to land behind him and he's now stunned and pinned up there as I slowly shove my fist up his ass and wave him about like a puppet
>go tear shit up with my freshly acquired 5 stacks
>rinse

>>144256563no

I've never seen that, but I'm more surprised I've never seen Benedict up there trying to play rocket sniper.

Give it time. Once the Overwatch hype cloud dissipates people will start moving to other, better games.
>>144256272
Attikus for best in screenshot. I love that fucking arm and he looks like what a frontline monster should look like.
On that note Thrall in general are badass.
Also, image here for those who want to post em.
>>144259207
Perhaps we should edit that form to just have Alani in the last image by default until some actual nerfs come out.
>>144259738
If you're still dying to Alani, you must be bad.

If you're dying to that, you're either pushing way too hard, or you're engaging with no fucking health.
>>144260415

see, I said 100-0'd for a reason, and I wasn't exaggerating.
and it happens all the time when i'm in the backline
>>144260415
>Pushing way too hard
Implying every Alani isn't already diving your team aggressively cause she's just going to heal anything you try to punish her with and run away.

WOOOOooooo Time for some funny numbers people

http://steamcharts.com/app/394230
>Current Number of Battleborn players on Steam , 1702 , sitting at #98 on Steam Top 100
2 million beta testers according to Gearbox across PS4,Xbone,PC
According to Steamspy
http://steamspy.com/app/394230
>127,000 Steam Owners, so only about 1 /100 people that own Battleborn on steam are playing it
side note, Overwatch had 10 million beta players and with release has 7 million players across PC, Xbone, PS4
time to look at 4 co-op shooters
http://steamcharts.com/cmp/394230,359550,218230,49520
>Rainbow Six Siege is Blue
>BattleBorn is Green
>Planetside 2 is Yellow
>Borderlands 2 is White
So Borderlands 2 and Rainbow Six Siege are similar while Planetside 2 and Battleborn run together
Well I guess some positive news is that Battleborn runs about 2X the active player base that Killing Floor 2 is running, so Gearbox has that going for them
>>144261110
So how many players does BattleBorn have across all consoles?
You know, that thing you're telling us about R-P-S Simulator 2016 and not BattleBorn.

But really, Alani's are great front line pushers, but if they chase you, punish the fuck out of them, act like you're retreating, them turn around and smash their fish tits in so hard they turn to fucking sushi.

about a month ago, so assume figures have increased maybe 20-30% because of sales?
>>144262421
so figure about 130-140k on PS4, about 90-100k on Xbox One, 40k general and about 130k on steam and you have rough estimate of 390k - 410k copies sold across all platforms
>>144262364
There's no way they're doing that much damn damage to you. Are you watching her skills?
>>144261083
Holy shit all the overshills.
>>144262715
Anthony Burch managed to trick that many people into giving him money.
>>144262715
so you can figure about 1 out of every 5 people that played the beta bought a copy, no idea of season pass sales would be
>>144262741
In the death recap thing where it tells you how much damage you took, it only shows alani shit meaning she solo 100-0'd me
>>144261083
The hate train will just dismiss it as more garbageborn, nitpicking every little detail.
However for those who aren't just riding the hate train I could see them not liking it because Gearbox's style just irks them.
I personally got hype as shit watching that opening and thought it was great. My only qualm was Deande doing the ninjarun.exe at the beginning. Thank god it only lasted for those few seconds.
>>144262421
out of 30k owners only 2-5% play on a daily basis a month in
holy shit LOL
>>144262897
I have no idea what to tell you man. I don't have problems with Alani.
>>144262938
But that's how she runs in game.
>>144260596
to be fair any hard cc would get your 0-100'd if the enemy has a clear los on you.
>>144262954
That fucking math. Is this b8, or just retardation?
>>144262954
The bad
>Another game I like is horribly undervaluing the importance of advertising and already trying to fill a niche that has been hard to fill in the past without being god awful.
The good
>Gearbox literally getting buttfucked within the first month might actually fix the majority of problems in short order as they use shotgun surgery to try to recover from the failure and attract more players.
They need to fix perf and polish the game or the downtrend will continue. The market doesn't think the game is worth what Gearbox is charging for the game.
>>144262826
Anthony Burch doesn't work at Gearbox anymore, hasn't for a few years
>>144263434
5% is about 1.5k are you ok?
>>144263769
Ah. So it is b8.

his math is fine just replace 30 with 30000 pretty sure he was rusing
>>144266259
I'm well aware what the actual math is, I was just bad mathing it out because I had no idea what the hell the b8 guy was thinking
This poor, poor game. It never had a chance.
Attikus is just a monster once he gets going. I am completely turned around on him now. Even getting the hang of his pounce.
>>144262954
>>144266259
the 30k are PC-nonSteam sales (think Amazon or Game Stop)
Steam has 130k accounts with copies and only 2k of that number play the game at peak hours so a little over 1% are playing the game on steam, and that is assuming none of the 30k copies sold stand alone were merged into peoples steam accounts to begin with, all in all you could assume that there are about 150k people that have purchased Battleborn for PC overall optimistically but that makes the overall current player base look some much worse according to
http://steamcharts.com/app/394230
Is Battleborn dead? No
Is Battleborn dieing? No
Is Battleborn growing? No
If Dirty Bomb found an audience so will Battleborn but do not expect to be the next E-Sport or something
>>144267201
Still has a chance. Also this isn't /v/ or /owg/.
>>144267397
>Do not expect it to be the next E-Sport
This is the only thing I 100% hold against overwatch, otherwise I'm fine with it as a game and think comparisons are pointless. And it is the fact that there were "esports" within 1-2 weeks that were cringey as fuck. I absofuckinglutely hate how many games need to be the next big esport and I sincerely hope that this game has both casual and competitive fun without selling itself out to that bullshit. Like fucking hate gearbox and whoever the fuck used to work for them all you want, the esports train is fucking cancer right now.

Sorry guys, I shoulda just bought Battleborn.
Hope you're still here in a month when I get my neetbux.
>>144267893
If you've gotta wait to buy it hold on to that money even longer. Bare minimum make Gearbox sweat it out so they actually fix the problems with the game then spend your money on it.
This was probably the absolute worst time for the game to come out.
Someone help

Rath, you're looking awfully unsustained. You feeling alright?
Who's FANOFTHEEMPIRE in Whiskey's Some Find Me Repulsive unlock?
Does he actually have a hot date with Deande?
>>144259043
In Reyna's info screen it says you can charge ally overshields with Plasma Pulse. When my friend used it on me I didn't notice any change. It went away at about the same time it usually would. Also the number of health on the overshield didn't increase. What is it supposed to do?
>>144275337
It charges the targets shield not their over shield.
>>144275843
So I didn't notice a difference because I was playing Alani.
Performance fixes when?
Haven't won a single meltdown match since I started playing. I feel like every round is a stomp against our team as the enemy just casually walks into us without ever being punished. They're 100 points ahead barely 4 minutes in. What am I doing wrong?
>>144279389
Kill the Shepherd bot.
KILL THE SHEPHERD BOT.
Also make elite minions. Try to pop them out at the same time your waves are approaching so they can get the overshield off your own Shepherd.
>>144277015
yup unless you increased shield capacity.
>>144267635
esports are cancer
Any game with esports is so toxic, that you need to play the meta and if you don't use an aim bot you can't compete against the autists
>>144280346
Not having all-chat is another plus since it tends to devolve into shit talking in the long run.
>>144279389
Start playing Oscar Mike, get his DoT level 2 helix augment and start eradicating creepwaves. He is a great character to learn the game on
>>144280346
Games were toxic before esports were a thing and people always bitched about meta shit since ever and honestly I agree with them in many cases because it's called the meta for a reason.
>>144281434
Let's say theoretically I'm playing the shit out of the rogue faction and were I to pick exclusively from those characters I'd be better off as:
(also ironically just won my first meltdown on Shayne and Aurox. Slow start but after a couple levels I can kill most overextended enemies, get fed and then just dive the backline)

yfw you didn't fall for the Battlekek meme
>>144283434
Early on you have to zone the enemy so you and you partner(s) can have an earlier shot of damaging the wave. Attempting an early kill to kill their clear speeds helps
When your wave is down you can either attack the other lane, hunt shards on your or their side, call another ally in the other lane or the guy that lurks the mid area to come attack, build/kill buildables or go aggressive such as starting a fight near mid turrets and buying it up for extrafirepower. All this is based off your numbers and how fast you or they cleared.
You can do different numbers in each lane based on team comp.
>>144285938
Shut up. You're literally acting like a caveman. You only like Overwatch for its blatant waifu pandering.

Oh and I guess Mcree sucks or whatever balance seems pretty boring to talk about.

You can't always tighten the faucet the way you want to. Sometimes you just have to let the leak solve itself. Just don't forget to lightly sear the mold afterwards.
>>144286436
Sounds about right it just tends to get chaotic quickly. Also the earlier post about killing the shepherd bot first will probably help me a lot. I did notice spawning larger bots actually creates a fair bit of pressure that, if not dealt with, also creates the biggest leads, which is a good way to deal with teams that tend to swarm to one side abruptly without keeping track of the other side.

I just retried benedict after learning you are supposed to hold down secondary fire in the air. It was less intuitive than most flying characters in shooters but fuck if you dont feel like a majestic bird of prey when you do it. I think im a benedict fan now.
>>144289842
its a shit flying mechanic. makes you feel slow and sluggish until you pick the faster flying helix, which is inferior to having a triple jump anyways
look at something like the NS2 lerk alien for flying done right in an FPS. press space to gain air/flap wings, hold space to glide, gliding upwards loses speed, gliding downwards gains speed.in fact holy shit the NS2 aliens are literally the benchmark for fun mobility in FPS. walljumping default class, flying first evolution, phasing/dashing second evolution, buttfuckhuge charging rhino final evolution

Be straight with me here. Is this game fine to play single player only? Like, I realize it won't be the full experience but I'm not really a multiplayer kind of guy and I found solo BL1 and 2 really comfy for some reason.
>>144295438
It's all right, a bit lonely though, and there are only 8 mission + prologue so if you only want to play it once you're looking at 10 hours.
The enjoyment of the game for me is completing the challenges and unlocking new mutations/skins/gear... Things that are a bit lost if you don't play the PvP I'd say
>>144295438
there are like 7 or so missions
they get old even if you play them with friends

>>144303941
It's terrible for battleborn on /v/, you can't make a thread without it being infested with blizzardshills and shitposters. And the worse thing is that the mods there keep on pruning battleborn threads a short time after they're created without reachimg the bump limit or even surviving a day.
Shit, in fact I saw a battleborn thread there with only 2 replies, it didn't violate any rules and it was already pruned, they're just as bad as the /co/ ones
>>144303941
well australia is full of nothing but shitposters, so it makes sense
it's in their blood
>>144304859
It's like Blizzard pays the mods to delete Battleborn threads as soon as they can.
4chan should just say if they don't want Battleborn on their board, so I can discuss Battleborn on another board with no retards.
The shit posts against Battleborn is more retarded than I have ever seen it against any game on /v/ and on /vg/. It is very likely, that Blizzard itself promotes it, if not does it itself.
The thing is, that Battleborn is a 9/10 (10/10 if you like the humor) game, where you can play
-online/offline
-PvP/PvE
-with 26+4 heroes
-on 3 different Pvp modes
-and 8+(5?) story maps.
To shit post such a good game with "Stillborn" and "it's dead" (even if you can play everything offline) is a sign, that someone is paid or shouldn't be on 4chan (under 18) to begin with.
>>144306119

it's decent but don't call it what it isn't
>>144306119

>9/10
hold up
>-online/offline
nope only online, even when alone
>-on 3 different Pvp modes
of which only one is populated and enjoyable
>-and 8+(5?) story maps.
all of which are copypasted "hold this point for 3 waves then fight a boss or on another point" with literal reskin bosses
while battleborn may be a 6/10 game, it doesn't deserve to die the sort of shill-orchestrated death it's dying right now.
Reminder that if you don't have Battleborn idling on your computer to improve player numbers even if you aren't playing it you are the cancer killing gearbox.

Hey I'm sorry the game you picked didn't work out for you. It's ok though I'm not here to judge so you don't have to sweat it :^).

Oh man I hope those aren't actually the new TF2 models they're pretty metallic for canola oil. Maybe EA will get their shit together and start using proper CNC machinery when trying to fish for salmon.
What are helix options you have trouble choosing between? I can't decide on Caldarius' double jump augments. Should I go for extra height or horizontal boost?
>>144312964
I say boost if you want more skirmishing and chasing
>>144312964
Toby's jump booster augments.
On paper 30% damage reduction when you run out of them sounds really fuckin good and the damage reduction will be very obvious and keep your ass alive in close combat situations you would otherwise lose, but being able to vertically jump is a great deal of utility for a character that likes high ground for sniping from and being able to jump a 4th time can make the difference between an ugly confrontation and getting away.

iunno, ask your mom
Why is there so much animosity towards this game?
The game looks decent.
Did the devs Jew the playerbase or something?
"Battleborn is ugly" heard this so many fucking times. It's not supposed to be real, or realistic, or the slightest bit feasible. It's a fucking cool game with quality visuals and the humour is actually pretty funny, trying to kill Geoff in that first mission had me in stitches. All in all fuck you and go fuck your overwatch
>do solo advanced hardcore

/v/ is addicted to failure and relishes every opportunity to wallow in the mud and refuse dripping from the latest "blunder".
The rest is spill off from that board.
Outside of 4chan, the game is a victim of it's own shoddy marketing campaign, and the fact that the servers for PvP weren't online until launch day - which never, ever mixes well with game review processes these days.
Little do we know there are people who have lives outside of 4chan playing this game. Maybe because they don't know any better, but it still counts.
The new Mirror's Edge will be big enough a flop for the shitposters to leave us alone, right?
>>144317474
I dunno. At least that game is making an effort to make itself known.
>>144317663
I've never understood video game companies that don't make an effort to advertise a game to some degree, especially if you're releasing against competition. It's not exactly an area you cut costs on in the modern gaming world without losing far more money than you would've spent.

>>144314839
I love the enemy interactions. The only one on par with Isaac and Geoff is between Rendain and Antem on the mission "The Experiment." The idea that Rendain does not conform to the supervillain cliche of killing his suboordinates when they fail, but his suboordinates believe he does regardless of what he says is pretty great.
Which characters are really good at Capture?
>>144320094
Not entirely sure what that means, but we live in an age where Kojima spends over 80 million on an unfinished product.
>>144327342
Oscar Mike, Ghalt, Kelvin, Thorn
>>144327342
If you're at lower levels of skill play pretty much any melee can shine in capture vs ranged simply because the nature of the mode means you're getting jumped on constantly and there are no real safe areas for ranged unless you have am immense amount of mobility like Benedict.
>>144315632
>and the fact that the servers for PvP weren't online until launch day
What are you talking about? You could play in competitive in all the betas.
>>144329964
Those were betas, "professional reviewers can't review the mp of a game based off a beta version.
ATTENTION ALL UNITS,FEMINISM IS AWESOME XD
>>144312964
The height only works if you're standing still I've noticed
>Healers are absolutely necessary for success
Whoever thought this was a good design choice can go choke on a million dicks. Healing should have an impact, but it shouldn't be the deciding factor of a game.
>>144331024
Reminder that Ambra and Alani are also "healers"

>>144320928
I actually was able to get into some quick games last night. Guess the player base is growing?
Hopefully.
>>144292379
But the game didn't sell well anon, i thought thats why you fuckers were here shitpposting
They need to make more money, so they need to fix it
>>144290772
Why do people play this game for PvE? I will never understand.
>>144333470
>they need to fix it
battleborn is a lost cause, just like evolve. they won't waste any more resources on this
>>144285874
TO say that BB wasnt hurt by OW is dumb
>>144333470
>Why do people play this game for PvE? I will never understand.
Because the matchmaking for PvP blows, you can only really queue for one map in one mode nowadays, and players surrender at the drop of a hat.
>>144333238
Yes it is growing so fast i am worried about the server stability.
>>144333637
THe game just came out, though the future may look bleek, its definitly not a 'lost cause'. Also, Evolve, even with its <200 average player count, is still being supported and had DLC coming out for it until late last year.
When 2K promises support their devs get it.
Also, GBX has until the release of BL3 to get their shit together with BB. If BL3 gets it right, BB2 will be on the table and then a success story not unlike Borderland's could be upon us.

i wrote a very angry letter to pitchford and he told me that he hopes my whole family dies of cancer
>>144333752
If you'd play enough PVP you'd know this isn't true
>>144333470
I play PvE for lore challenges and play PvP for the challenges that require me to do so, it where I'm having the most fun
>>144333959
>THe game just came out
yes, and it sold like shit. most game sales happen during the first week and during discounts. battleborn has already been discounted 65% (sixty five percent) after only being out for 3 weeks and yet the userbase keeps declining. you are delusional, the game is beyond saving.
> BB2 will be on the table
top fucking rofl
sorry you backed the wrong horse
>>144334105
I play PVP most of the time, m8. Most games are one-sided and it feels like calls for surrender occur half the time when this happens. This is called an anecdote, and I'm sure you'll pull one out that says PVP is perfect in Battleborn, every game is close and hard fought, and you're having a great time matchmaking instantly on Capture.

I can't play more than 1 game a day now. I am sick of seeing Alani, Thorn, Galileia, Oscar Mike, Miko (sometimes Marquis or Rath).

cdkeys.com has the game for under 20 euro but the reported AMD issues give me pause. Is there some kind of demo to test performance?
>>144345903
no demo unfortunately. they need to release a timed pvp one
what are the issues with AMD?
>>144346221
Bad performance (people with AMD 390s reporting inability to maintain 60fps with high graphics for example).
>>144345903
Don't bother it will be f2p soon with optional season pass as hidden micro transaction for the last 5 Battleborn.
>>144345903
AMD graphics cards are getting the worst response. If the rest of your computer is top tier you might be alright but if not you can disable most things in the config file and get good FPS. (although don't touch bloom that'll fuck your shit up)

It sold about as well as borderlands 1. Which to be fair, also was not as good as borderlands 2.
I like battleborn though, and I really don't understand why you are so heavily invested in the failure of a game you do not like.
I like playing battleborn. I like its artstyle. I even hope it gets a sequel. And also based on passed releases for Gearbox, it actually looks pretty optimistic.
How do you feel though? frankly your desire to post negatively is really whats interesting here.
>>144304976
they literally flood /int/ with threads with a picture of pepe and "Easter" late night and I mean flood it hardcore.
Thanks for this i was sick of digging.

Hey its ok man. Sorry your game didn't work out for you but we don't judge here no matter how much you judge us. Just enjoy whatever you play k :^).
>>144357016
I hate the people who take it out of context and claim Battleborn just panders to SJWs. He's literally advocating the equality to shoot women in the face as much as he shoots men in the face.
>>144353627
Everyone says Whiskey's an older, experimental clone and that Mike is a newer, stabler kind.
But when Whiskey sees Mike in PvP, he can say 'A Mike unit? They still make those?'
Is Whiskey just really old?
My OCD also tells me that WF shouldn't come before OM.
>>144334387
I didn't 'back a horse'. I play OW and BB together. They're different enough games to play at the same time. This is why you Overshits are the worst. It's all a horse race to you.
>>144331024
Welcome to team based dilemma 101, either healing/healers are shit or if they are decent they are insta top tier because out of combat healing put allies back on the frontline much faster..
>>144361421
I'd wager that Titanfall is closer to Overwatch than Battleborn, or even TF2 is.
holy shit this thread has been up for 24 hours and has 250 replies? why do you even play this game anymore?

BE ADVISED,IV'E GOT YOU IN MY SIGHTS!
genuine, real, honest question
Is the game nothing but a holder for buyer's remorse or is it actually fun?
I have overwatch and its good fun, but I see no reason to limit myself to only one game of an entire genre
I liked tf2
I liked gigantic

>>144365662
It's decent if you can look past all the rough edges and comparative deadness. 6/10 ish. The quirky Gearbox humour is there and will make or break the game for you.
I told all my friends that BB was the better game when they were discussing overwatch and now I cant ever find matches and I think its going to get worse :(
Fuck this Im switching to overwatch, it was fun while it lasted
>>144366349
What age of gearbox type humor are we talking about here
