I have been enjoying the open beta this weekend, but there was one feature that I have not seen that I’m surprised is not available. This would be the ability to change my character selection. I’m a fan of Team Fortress 2, and this game’s similarity to the team based shooter is what made me interested Battleborn. Often when I play TF2 the class I choose is dependant on what the team needs. If we lack a Medic I will play medic, we need defense I play Engie, and if those bases are covered I’ll go play something fun like Scout or Spy. In that game I’m able to see what my teammates are playing and select a Class to best complement the team.
So far in Battleborn it has been hard to do this. At the beginning of the round I cannot see what my teammates have selected until they have locked in their character choice. It would be great to be able to see what my teammates were picking for the match or be able to swap character to fill any holes in our team. I am not talking about being able to change the character in the course of the match, but at least during the character selection phased before the match has even started.
I know when I picked my character, then the skin, then the taunt…
If I changed my mind (or I saw my team mates all pick the blue skin, and I was brown), I’d click back (‘o’ on ps4 controller), and I could reselect my taunt and skin if needed…
However, I never clicked back so far to see if I could reselect my character altogether too…
All this just had to be done before the countdown for the match/campaign began.
But I certainly see your point, and agree with an easy change mechanism before match/campaign start.
+1, good thread. If it’s not auto-lockers (I’m looking at you most Oscar Mike players) there are the people that are afk until there are 10sec left or the game randoms them a character…sigh…
I understand they took a lot of insight from MOBAs where once you “Lock In” you are stuck.
