An Update to Battleborn is Rolling Out Thursday, October 19th, 2017

I’m still downloading, can somebody show me what the 2 colorswaps look like for Kelvin? Thaaaaaaaaanks.

@Moostacho tested Toby’s arc mines with a high skill damage build, and only got 75 damage a tick, down from 100-120+ … I’m taking it surprisingly well!

There was an autocorrect typo in there I missed as well, I meant to say “desiccated”

I figured, haha.

It won’t affect the stun-mine Toby mains that much, because we use the mines for the CC instead of the lane clear. At lvl. 7, heartpiecer becomes the strongest lane-clear in the game, if you can line up the shots in lane. two shots, and all minions are gone. Slow-mines will get hurt by this for sure though…

I figured “dedicated corpse” was just a new term to refer to the BB playerbase

…it was, but desiccated shows how the life has sucked out of the franchise.

Was this meant for me?


In other news…

  • RIP Heliophage title
  • RIP lvl 10 Railgun (lost ~21% damage)
  • RIP lvl 10 Kreshek (lost ~22% damage)
  • Skill scaling sucks across the board for the most part
  • Etc…

I’m more upset about the arc mine nerf. Triple Charge was never the superior choice, even if the knockback had it’s uses.

Are these in regular loot packs or Magnus ones?

As near as anyone can tell, Magnus packs.

Though I won’t complain if proven wrong.

tbh, most franchises don’t really pick up steam until the sequels. Look at Witcher 3. I’m still surprised we got a Witcher 2 after the forgettable snoozefest that was the first one. Even Borderlands didn’t really pick up its steam until the second game.

I REALLY want a Battleborn 2. BADLY. But this time hopefully they try to actually MARKET the game. The main problem Battleborn had is nobody knew what the hell it was unless you actually happened to play the open beta.

I booted it up…and deleted it after I looked at the skins and lack of changes

update-
the americans are always on.

i concur

You may not know this, but this is quite literally triple my normal Internet speed (bought a higher tier package to see what that’s like). I’ll be out of town this weekend, but look forward to trying this out again when I get back.
