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 
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 
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 
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
btw. @Jythri You troll 
(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.
