Battleborn at PAX Prime 2015

I saw that, think me and you in chat started to have a nerdy moment together as we both noticed it.

While I actually think this is not a skin, but merely a way of differing the players, (Say there are 2 Marquis in your game, you would have 1 of them be white. That also alludes that every character will have 2 colours on launch.) it does mean that alternate skins are an option. Not announced yet, nor do I think we will have many of them on launch. But still, awesome.

Well they did draw inspiration from fighting games. It’s pretty common that there are multiple colors to choose from in those games. So a few basic colors would make sense, but what if we both wanted that one level 10 unique skin ? What if all 10 players have the same skin AAAGHHH.

But isn’t it that teammates will have their name above their character so you can recognize them as so.

I can just feel the Sexual Tension in that picture. Is it just me?

Well, you could have player names, but it would be easier to use different colours. Ease of use.

Just wanted to thank everyone for making the chat in the Gbx twitch channel last night so cool. This is still a marvelous community. It’s bound to grow as BB releases, I’m confident we can keep the happy/friendly/funny/helpful spirit going.

Well, most of the ‘Plebs’ were in the PAX channel :wink: But yeah, it’s a nice, cosy small community right now. I am sure it will grow up into something a lot bigger soon, but if we keep it feeling like it does now :heart:

Battleborn based on a true love story

For everyone who missed the Panel !

@Jythri Was just live on the front page of Twitch interviewing for PAX. It was awesome, and there was some amazing little tid-bits dropped here and there! Gonna try remember as many as I can here.

Battleborn was ‘Built with competitive in mind’, not focused on it but it was very much kept in mind from the start. I love this idea, it’s smart but not as gung-ho as people who make games FOR esports.

Tournament play was talked about! (I literally had my eyes glued to the screen for this, I NEED TO BE THERE.) GBX wants to support tournament play if the playerbase wants it. (Trust me, I want it.)

The gear system was talked about. It will be procedural generated gear for the most part, there are some things that will be dropped specifically for Story mode. They will be Story Mode only items, as they are more about making the game fun but would make an imbalance in competitive. Things such as ‘Smart Bombs’ were mentioned.

Customisation! There will be skins, in a recolour kind of way. But not just this, you can also customise what Taunt your character has it seems! I cannot wait for Benedict to make a ‘Baawwk BAWWWKK CHICKEN!’ noise while flapping his wings. Please.

When I get the time, I’m gonna go through that and take a note of everything that was mentioned.

Okay… so turns out I actually did catch and remember everything. I thought I was late to seeing it, I was wrong :smiley:

It would be cool if there were heads to go with the skins, like Borderlands. I want a Benedict chicken head! Maybe it’s something they can add in after release if it’s only skins for now.

More Randy Varnell with Rooster Teeth at Youtube Gaming

He says “i’ll keep it short, because i know we are running out of time”
Then he starts talking loot / gear / helix / meta rank, not a great topic for short conversations :wink:

btw. @Jythri You troll :stuck_out_tongue: (so you are looking forward to Mario Maker than?)

Thanks for posting

Where is Pax usually located? Because I’m seeing all this cool ■■■■ on my Twitter and I’m like, “I wish I could’ve gone.” The people getting access to all of those games. Ugh, jealous.

There are multiple PAX conventions these days, but PAX Prime (the one going on now) takes place in Seattle.

-looks all the way over to the West- Yeah… I need to move.

Ya know… all this talk about Gear makes me SUPER HYPED because it means Even moar strategy into building your character. At the same time, it scares me because it means I actually have to start thinking, even more, about what I’m writing about. LOL

Made a backup of the twitch interview.
Also didn’t find it user friendly to go looking/scrolling through the stream for the requested info.
