Randy V. Q&A about the future of Battleborn, upcoming patches, and player numbers

[sl0p0k]

Happened upon this and thought some folks would appreciate the information. Interview from May 10, 2016. Answers lots of questions and concerns people have been posting about on here.

Audio: https://www.twitch.tv/kalology/v/65581544?t=04h03m00s

And from reddit, a good summarization: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battleborn/comments/4ip8ep/qa_with_jythri_creative_director_on_a_twitch/

From Kalo, who is both friends with Randy V and the original interviewer, an even briefer summation:

Upcoming Patch Notes, per BB Sub Reddit

This patch is hopefully landing next week or the week after, mostly waiting on approval from Microsoft/Sony. GBX is also trying to make it so they can adjust bigger things in the game without having to go through the approval process with said companies, meaning they can do larger patches, quicker.

Heroes Miko: health regen nerf (likely to Biosynthesis.)

ISIC: survivability nerfs. (likely shield cooldown or reflect adjustment.)

Galilea: attack while sprinting removed, desecrate only applies CC on initial use.

Kleese: shock taser no longer able to target/reveal stealth. Bolt Savings augment unintendedly causing him to do too much damage.

Ambra: getting some changes? Nothing specific said. (nerf to alt melee, or a buff elsewhere?)

Other Collision problem patches for Overgrowth and Echelon.

Incursion: After destroying the first sentry, a Shepherd will only spawn for that team every few waves.

Overgrowth (Map): Stairs on either side of the map near center changed to other side of mounts, preventing heroes like Marquis from easily peeking out and hitting the sentry.

Character specific legendaries: no longer have random rolls, will always “max roll.”

I’ll most likely be doing more interviews with him in the future and typically come to my chat for questions, so feel free to stop by or send questions my way here or on Twitter. Also planning on doing Patch Note Reviews on stream which will be uploaded to YouTube, so stay tuned and stay beautiful, everyone! <3

This is so encouraging to read!

Incredibly glad that support for this game seems to be primed to go on for quite some time. Hopefully, since they’re listening to the community, they’re thinking of extending these plans even further to make room for more extra characters and/or DLC missions in the future.

I know plenty of people (including myself) who want to be playing this game for a long while.

Love this whole interview

[Greybeard]

I’ve been an, almost exclusively, FPS “campaign” (solo/co-op) player over the years. For those games I’ve followed closely, I’ve never seen the kind of feedback Mr V gives to the community, not even Borderlands. To those of you in the multiplayer world, is this common? In any case, it’s much appreciated.

I ready the summary and then watched the interview. In the summary there’s mention of Miko self-heal and ISICs survivability nerfs but I just can’t find them in the video. Could anyone tell me at what time in the video are they mentioned please?

[fivedepluto (HelloDolly)]

So encouraging!

The reddit is a good summary!

[AsherTalos]

Thank you for posting this, a lot of good info here. Really glad they are taking time to look at character balances.
