The ‘dev tracker’ button up on the menu there is probably what you’re looking for.
They’re probably pretty busy at the moment, but they do come by here a lot, Randy Varnell in particular, who has posted here frequently about how important balance is to Gearbox, long term. And of course their community tan are passing things on from here to the devs, too.
@tilyas89: Randy has been very active, and has been pretty up-front about a number of issues. They may not be in here posting all the time but, when they do, there’s always good information. I’d second @Psychichazard’s suggest to use the Dev Tracker for a quick way to access their posts. I you scroll down, you’ll see quite a few relevant posts regarding BB.
Not to mention Randy also likes hitting up the streams as well. But don’t forget pax just ended they might be hung over.
PAX just ended plus it is Launch week of the game. Everyone is putting in overtime most likely. Plus who cares about Beta stats when the actual game releases in 3 days? I just want to play the game right now.
Thanks for the responses guys but developer tracking only gives me snap shots. A dedicated blog post about planned balance changes for release would be appreciated along with statistics. Its no secret that people think characters like attikus could use a buff while Galilea is still, despite the nerfs, pretty freaking strong
You are asking the Devs for information at the completely wrong time. The game launches in 3 days, they are preparing for that aspect. Give them a week and half before you start asking for balance changes and blog posts, etc.
The last patch notes were linked from the in game menu so wait till launch and maybe it will be linked there. However I don’t feel that it’s their job to spell that stuff out for us. I appreciate when they do but in no way feel that I deserve explanation. I heard the balance guy talking on a stream last night and while people pointing out balance changes does give them a direction to look, in the end they decided purely based upon data. If they decide to share this data then cool but in the end it’s not up to us. I’m confident they will post any future balance changes post launch.
A dedicated blog post at this moment would be pointless cause they are still doing small changes most likely and are probably pretty busy with all the pre-launch prep/changes. Now you might see a list of what they changed right after they launch the game. but wanting anything prior to that is unrealistic in my opinion as focusing on making the launch go smooth is far more important.
Now you want statistics. that’s laughable to be honest. any statistics they have from the beta are only partials at best due to the low amount of time the beta was up for and really it only needs to be seen by the developers themselves so they can make what adjustments they can. Don’t expect proper statistics for a few weeks after launch.
And also an important note for you. Go check out the battleborn characters specific pages on the battleborn website and you can actually see some changes have already occured. for instance with Marquis’s helix augmentations. he has one that gives +2 to his clip. in the beta it was a mutation you had to unlock through levels and was on a lower tier of his mutation list. now you have to choose between it or +18% damage on bindlebane and it’s higher up on the list. but this could even change again prior to the launch. so it’s pointless to see it in an update since it’s not officially launched yet.
My main point. Have patience and you’ll see it. Just let them focus on the launch first cause that is far more important.
I would think for those who have early access are more focused on playing right now. Anyone who had something to say for the beta has already said it. The forums will have more traffic once the game comes out. I would also believe if Gearbox had an app, it would help. I know I have issues trying to sign on to the forum on my phone. So having an app would really help out.
Other than show up in your living room and answering questions personally, I’m not sure what else I could do.
(That’s not going to happen, by the way.) 
We’re here as often as we can be. I also post on Reddit, Steam forums, some YouTube comments. Twitter (@Jythri), Facebook, and our Early Access Discord, and as mentioned I frequent several Twitch stream channels, talking in chat there, and often answering more questions than I should.
If anything, we may be posting a tad less here because we are literally EVERYWHERE ELSE trying to answer questions and get people plugged into the community.
Also, while we’re planning to do AMAs, I do that pretty much every night on some Twitch stream or the other. If you have a question, post a topic here, shout out to @jythri if I don’t answer it in a couple of days. I’ll show up and typically give you an answer.
But I have beer! And cake!
Joking aside, had you guys given any more thought to posting a launch-day update specifically to describe balance changes from the open beta? I’d asked about this before, but I don’t think any decision had been made at the time.
(And yes, if you show up in my living room I will offer you beer and cake!)
Like I said in my opening post, I’m asking specifically for infographics or statistics relating to the current state of balance. Even a post detailing in one single place all the changes planned or things you noticed during the beta. I never denied that you were active in other respects.
I don’t think I’m asking for anything unreasonable here. The dev’s of Evolve for example regularly posted a very detailed breakdown of winrate, damage, pick rate etc.
Gearbox are under no obligation to share any plans with us.
They share what they want to share. And that’s okay.
Since we are asking for random information to be shared in completely inappropriate times, I would also like to know Randy’s favorite type of pizza.
Holy moly, you deleted my post saying “relax, it’s just a suggestion”. I’d like other mods to review why it was deleted because it smacks of someone going “delete happy” since I did NOT break any rules.
Honestly the sheer passive aggressiveness of some responders on this thread is crazy. I calmly put forth a suggestion and named other games that have or are performing the simple action of puttingout stats following a beta and this is the response I get?
Please read the forum rules. They explain how to deal with concerns about moderation.
Thanks.
You’re the one who deleted it. Give me the name of another mod who I can report your inappropriate deleting of my posts.
I’ve just checked your profile. You don’t have any deleted posts.
I’d like you to also read the rules about not discussing other forum users. Please go and read them, now.
Then it magically vanished. Strange. Anyways, I fail to see how this is an “inappropriate” request. That’s honestly laughable as if asking for some stats is a mountainous task. I’m through with this thread seeing as how for some reason people are being outright defensive. God forbid we know how characters performed during a beta.
I’ll just close this then, okay?
Did you read the rules yet?
/sighs.
They never read the rules. Never.
