I love this game already but

Battleborn Open Beta Open Beta General Discussion/Feedback

… Obviously somethings need to be worked out…

I know the devs are busy but need feedback so I will make this short.

Awesome things:

  • Interesting Characters
  • Story
  • Voice Acting
  • Art style
  • Not having to pickup and manage ammo
  • Matchmaking
  • There really is a badass for every type of gamer!

Things that suck:

  • Not being able to mute annoying players on the mic.

  • Standing pads that require all players present, but 1 or more players being afk… or just stupid.

  • Benedict’s ROCKET LAUNCHER feels SUPREMELY under powered in PVE (The only mode I play). In most cases it took multiple direct shots to kill the small little throw-away melee bots. Against bosses like Geoff, the giant rock monster or Isic, a few times I just gave up shooting and just sat in the corner and watched because my hand was getting tired from shooting and barely doing any damage. I was flying into battle with a rocket launcher but I didn’t feel powerful AT ALL.

  • Montana… Don’t know if this was done as a joke or not but… he is also supremely under powered in PVE. Having Montana as a support character is absolute ridiculousness… He should definitely be the tank/attack type… yet I was dying with him faster than I did with any other character, especially because he’s huge so its hard to see and he’s slow.

Bugs

While I was playing The Algorithm on I believe April 9th or 10th, we killed The big rock dude or… Galactic Emperor (if that’s really his name) and all of his minions but the ice wall never fell. The drill kept spinning and making noise but there was nothing we could do but run around. During that same match I got stuck in the stairs and couldn’t move or jump out, we all had to quit the game.

Thanks for all the hardwork! I’ve already pre-ordered for ps4 and can’t wait to play the finished version!

benedicts rockets also do splash damage so there’s that bonous.

but for story it does seemed bugged for some bosses and the ice golems i get constant immune when hitting bosses and golems were there is a small spot to hit them.

i noticed that if you shot them enough, the armor breaks and they become very vulnerable. it even gets you some shards and xp.

#5

that doesn’t work for the conservator. it was so much “immune” “immune” or nothing popped up when my rockets landed and even hitting it with a boomsday did not trigger any health loose.

#6

Actually, you can. Just go to the scoreboard, select the person username, and you’ll get the option to mute Him/Her

#7

I feel you. Borderlands 1, Brick’s Rocket launcher tree, and those launchers were hard to use in that game.

Benedict could be suffering from Borderlands Rocket launcher math. Shoot the bad guys directly = weak damage.

Shoot at their feet = dead. I never got around to using the guy, but maybe this would help? Hope it does until they fix his direct hits.

Gluck!

Hey @buggdx1.

Thanks for the feedback, the devs tend to appreciate in depth analysis.

I noticed you’d also placed a “bug” here. I would suggest for the sake of making certain the Devs see it, you should start a thread in the Bug Reporting section, which you may find here;

You can mute players on mic, I just don’t know how right off hand…I know I did it a few times.

Benedict is usually my go to character for story mode, I always top damage and kills with him. I’m not sure why you would feel he was underpowered in PvE. He’s stong in both modes.

Montana is powerful in pve, but you take way more damage as him than anyone else due to his size. He is a tank/attacker, but bots are meant to kind of miss shots here and there because of their bad spread, and that doesn’t happen to montana because he’s a wall of flesh. I wouldn’t recommend playing montana in PvE unless you have a miko healing you.

Can’t say anything against your issue with the standing pads, been there done that. But I’m a patient fellow, so it’s usually fine.

Montana is reliant on a support/healer IMO

Benedicts rockets do good damage in PVP if they are nerfed in PVE, guess that needs to be fixed.

Standing on pads, I like this, it forces teamwork. You don’t see that very often in current games. Guessing no one was using a mic in this team oriented game…or your right, they are just ignorant/stupid lol
