Solo can be incredibly hard if not impossible to do it alone. The optimum team size is 3 IMO for difficulty and actual score maximum.
Great! I love tempest maps! SUPERB battleplan I love you gearbox! Also, thanks for the much needed Ernest fix! Good job!
There’s 5 new platinum taunts. Wonder if we’ll get another batch of skins soon.

Lackluster update… huzzah.
Hoping for some good, big stuff tomorrow–suspense pisses people off and the playerbase is already too small. Might just be the straw that breaks my camel’s back too.
For which characters?
(I wonder why they don’t announce taunt/skin releases)
Reyna, Boldur, Toby, ISIC, Kelvin
They really should put these in the Battleplan. I would’ve missed them if a friend of mine didn’t mention them. Reyna’s taunt is gold.

Ok so before the Valresi appeared, was this already a really really tiny galaxy? Thousands of years for an advanced space traveling civilization and the only planets they colonized were gasp the only ones that still exist? Beginning to think the entire universe was 7 planets and the Valresi took a couple.
EDIT: HOLY ■■■■ NEW BOLDUR TAUNT? <3
EDIT: aaaand it sucks. typical.
Still nothing about the command menu issue, huh? Oi…

what is the next spotlight someone that did all lore?
I’m with you on that one…
That would be stupid to do. That would be like saying we should make all ultimate skills destroyable. You can cancle someone’s ultimate if you hit them at the right moment. So I would say keep a close eye on when they are about to use it. And stop them. Being able to destroy someone’s ultimate skill makes not so ultimate anymore does it?

The developers have said that the fix is in the next patch. Unfortunately that patch has missed the monthly window that the developers have been aiming for. From the number of things I have heard that are going to be in it I’m not surprised. Between the amount of content and the complexity of it it’s no surprise to me that it’s taken a while to make and may be taking a while to certify. There may have been some issues during testing/certifying that need to be fixed before the patch can be released to the public. It’s coming, but it’s just taking a bit longer than many of us (including the developers) would like.

That’s where they settled. No mention of them going to other planets as those are gone so there’s no point.
@Ganjamira Tempest " WAS the original homeworld of the Jennerit. Once they started branching out into an Empire, the planet Jennar was selected as the “throneworld”. After Rendain took over and veiled Jennar with Empress Lenore on it, he then moved the throneworld back to Tempest and the empire became none as the Jennerit Imperium. Tempest is tidly locked so it is always facing the same way towards Solus, this is something the Jennerit Elite did similar to having aircon in your house as I believe they harness a lot of power from the Sun. Only a small part of the planet’s surface is actually habitable which is where all the lesser Thralls (beasts that were modified with technology to be sentient but to obey, a slave race) and all the Elite live up on structures that float high above the planet’s surface. These are collectively called Echelon. Does that give you enough info?

Thank you alot! 
though most lore I already knew, its great to have such a summary of important points.
So the Jennerit race evolved within the Solus system, branched out over millennia and it became main world again after Rendains betrayal - that makes sense!
I was under the impression the Jennerit evolved in another system and came later to Solus, thats why I was so confused

Another Battleplan…
A bit too early to cast my complete judgment -given what was announced in there. But for the stuff we do know, some are good, some don’t add or detract, but at least nothing detrimental.
The Good:
-
PAX West. Big announcements are supposedly held on that day and I doubt GBX wants to disappoint. Since I won’t be watching the livestream, because I have work and live somewhere in the depths of Canada (or was it China?) somebody will have to watch it for me before summarizing everything in a concise manner. And I pray to God, GBX, if your DLC is like TPS’ Holodome… God, what a terrifying prospect…
-
Hardcore Spotlight for Saboteur and Heliophage: Alright, now I can finally find some victims to get HC wins on those two places. Sab is always fun, since I get to watch people die, and Heliophage can be such an entertaining crapshow once the 23 minute timer pops up.
The Meh, Didn’t Add or Detract:
Ernest’s egg wasn’t functioning as intended? Really? Didn’t notice. Can’t say this affected me when I didn’t experience it for myself.
The Detrimental:
What, no event of any kind? No discounts? No extra loot? Really? Nothing? Hopefully there is something planned for next week.
The bit about the Jennerit evolution is something I’m not sure about yet. This Battleplan is the first instance that I’ve seen of the main race on Tempest being referred to as “Tempestian”. I’m still compiling lore information for a project but my impression is that the Thrall and the Jennerit Elite may or may not be of the same race or could be like an evolutionary divergence where the smarter race used the other as slaves. Heck given the technology of the Jennerit, Thralls could be bio-engineered beasts cloned in a lab and then modified with a device that makes them smarter but easy to control. Is the race of the Jennerit “pure bloods” actually Tempestian or does that designation only count if you were born on Tempest? I believe Deande was born on Jennar making her Jennarian?. But what is their actual race called? That’s something I’d like to know…

Here’s a brief history of Tempest/the Jennerit. After the disappearance of the Aztanti from the Solus system the species that would become the Jennerit Highborn (then known as Tempestians) arose on the planet, likely descended from the Aztanti. After a long time they eventually became space faring and began colonizing galaxies including the one containing the planet Jennar. After another, relatively shorter, period a civil war broke out between the “Tempestian Republic” and pro-empire force led by either Lenore herself or a ancestor if I recall correctly (check Attikus’ “Rise of The Thrall” lore challenge it’ll tell you). The imperials won and subsequently moved to throneworld to Jennar. That’s where it stayed until roughly 10-15 years ago in-game (again Attikus lore, it provides a great timeline), when, following a successful repulsion of the Varelsi from the system where Jennar is located, Rendain betrayed the factions and the empress and aligned the Jennerit Militarywith the Varelsi. After deafeating the empress and doing away with her, Rendain promptly moved the Thronewold back to Tempest (note; it’s also his home planet).
Most of this information comes from the aforementioned Attikus lore challenge and this article detailing the planet Tempest https://battleborn.com/en/news/view/en-tempest-throneworld-of-the-jennerit-imperium/

Kaleidodemon, could you summarize what you’ve heard is going to be in the patch? I’ve had trouble piecing it together from them for anything that’s not way down the line. It’d be nice to see the jist
