Upcoming Patch Notes, per BB Sub Reddit

Battleborn Battleborn General Discussion

Its not the DPS. DPS inst that important. Galileas shield soaks way to much damage. And both , Galileas and Rath stun is way to powerfull. Even if you nerf The damage output there will be just enough time to kill you twice. And since almost all matches contain both , Rath and Galilea, noone can stand this crowd control.

UH UH UH , did i mention the crazy combination of rath ulti and galileas area of effect ? Cought out of position should sound cought out of base.

Yeah , im a noob , l2p ,blablabla …

If you want to reduce the game to the most powerfull chars, okay . maybe there a 7 or 8 left in the future wich are competitive. Well done sir !

Ambra is probably getting a small buff to something. Also I think the reddit post may have gotten it mixed up on the patch date. There’s supposed to be a micropatch this week to address the character buffs/nerfs and small Coldsnap/Echelon optimizations (according to the interview video). The content patch coming later on will be to fix Incursion and make larger changes to the characters.

I will be fairly disappointed if Ambra gets a nerf to her alt melee. As I recall, the last round of patch notes mentioned that they wanted more emphasis on her melee chain in combat. Nerfing it now would be odd.

#29

This patch is nothing special. No fix to match making. Nerfs but no buffs. Half the characters suck so much your gimping your team if you pick them and maybe even giving a auto loss. Rather see buff then destroying a few of the only good characters to be.

#30

Lol. So much optimism. I’m glad they are taking steps to improve the game. To each their own

#31

Could you, please, enlighten me as to which characters cause an auto-loss? I’ve been playing using Random pick for so long that I’d like to know which ones to focus on more…

#32

I don’t agree with him, but I’d like to see some matches of someone steady doing well with Attikus. Just saying. lol

P.S. As in winning multiple times in a row with Attikus.

#34

Great, you made it personal. Now the mods are gonna be here.

#35

Noted…sorry I have trouble not telling the truth to people who behave like that.

#36

Very nice stream. He gave us alot of info.

#37

Actually just got out of a lobby with person that mained Attikus for 3-4 games, won every game and went 5-1 in the span of games

I am presuming the answer to this is yes, but any changes made based upon feedback from the PVP side of things will also impact PVE?

The list of fixes above seems to primarily focus upon PVP issues, can we expect this to be the trend moving forward that PVP will get the majority of the focus and PVE will become a poor cousin sat in the background begging for scraps?

I have played through the campaign now and it has plenty of issues of its own and lacks polish, and looks as though it could have done with a few more weeks in development. I am aware it’s not uncommon for software to be pushed with known issues due to release date commitments, but it is something I would have expected to see improved upon in the first patch after release, but alas that does not appear to be the case.

IF they nerf Ambra’s alt melee I will be convinced they hate her :frowning:

@Jythri

Is this really going to happen? I think this is the most important fix that needs to happen and would probably be the overall best solution to fixing the character.

#41

Yes, this is going to happen. Don’t have an ETA, but should be “very soon” now.

That’s a lie, Steamcharts shows that Battleborn looses players every day, from 12k on May 4. to 5k on May 18.

#43

Steam charts don’t count console or non-steam-account players.

#44

I think he was focusing on this part,

Which technically it’s true and outside of consoles, can you play BB on the PC without using Steam ?

I don’t think so.
Now its only 4.5k, its sad that the game is dying so fast but many people told them what things need to be fixed after the beta and how bad the marketing is and basally nothing changed.

#46

Its actually not even 2k right now…
Dont care what people say but going down to the 1k figure on less than 3 weeks… Its ok having a small community but there are limits, specially when even BL2 has atm 4x more players, tbh that speaks volumes for itself.
