Played ~130 hours in the first month, exclusively Meltdown. I fucking hated all of the other game modes, but had a ton of fun in Meltdown.

Apparently at some point they removed queues for specific game modes and I've spent the night quitting out of games after waiting 15-30 minutes for a random game mode queue just for it to not be what I want to play.

Then I finally do get into a Meltdown match - thank fucking Christ there isn't a leaver penalty, at least so far - and the match is good. It comes down to the last few points, and we barely make the winning score. That's when I found out they added a sudden death to the end of every Meltdown match, pretty much invalidating the close fight we just had.

I will never fucking even try to defend this piece of god damn garbage ever again. I got my $60 worth and thought I'd never play it again, but the prospect of a player count bump brought me back to give it another go. But when I can't play the one game mode I actually enjoy, the game mode I spent $60 on knowing full well the game would die out within the month, there's no saving it.

I should have just fucking kept my memory of this game pure. What a god damn horrible night it's been.

Fuck Battleborn, fuck Gearbox, fuck Randy Pitchford, fuck Borderlands, fuck everyone involved in this fucking mistake of a video game. My only saving grace is that I bought this off of some french G2A knock-off so hopefully that kept some money away from them.

It should be noted that it has only gone f2p on PS4 so far. Probably just to get an idea of what to expect when they go f2p on PC and Xbone.

I do enjoy the gameplay. Even if PvP is largely unbalanced. The writing suffers from the current Gearbox trend of trying to be ironically obnoxious only to be actually obnoxious. Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

>>379467960
What about it? It's been like that in every game I play which shows NAT status. As shown in those two screenshots, I'm able to connect to matchmaking servers just fine. Closed NAT is when you start to have problems.

To be frank, I've tried everything to get an Open NAT status despite the fact that it's not necessary. Can't seem to figure out what the deal is, but it's not a problem in R6:S, nor was it an issue in Battleborn when I first played it on launch.

Anyway, I just shut the game off, no match found. Did pick up two other players but that's not gonna cut it.

This is in the context that they already own Overwatch.

If I buy a pc key from G2A, will that give me all the characters and all the story missions?

>>379468089
Did you actually bother to sample the hotdog anon? Food analogy.

Anybody who bothered to stick with the game and dug into all it could possibly provide, had the possibility of finding this. You can tell that this game was meant to be something bigger before 2k stepped in and stripped it down before Alpha/Beta, rushing it out the door when they bought it. There was a wide bevy of character interactions, subtle story tidbits, slight nuances in animation, well-thought-out combat, and excellent baseline gameplay (If you think it was a running simulator, you clearly need to learn how to play). Each combination of characters required different strategies to employ. The monsters had a lot of life, character and personality in them, and this especially showed with the goliath; his "wounded" animations were the most notable. All monsters had a multitude of skin states per skin; so they had to have damaged states too. Each of the monsters was also autistically detailed; with behemoth being the most core example with his shifting stone plates, and stretching/contracting sineaus holding them together.
TRS went through every possible way of basically giving the players the DLC without outright making it free- You were only purchasing the character DLC to select it in the lobby, there was several built-in workarounds.
Each of the characters also had multiple unique strings of commentary on each map, some being humorous, others being ominous, some seemingly to be a dig at 2k and others in the gaming industry at the moment too.

Yeah, but don't unless it's like five bucks or something. Unless this game actually picks up, you're looking at 30+ minute wait times for a queue that puts you into a random game mode.

If you could queue into the game modes you actually enjoy, I'd say five bucks for a week of moderately increased playerbase is fine if you're looking to play more characters. Just have to accept that this game isn't going to be coming back any time soon, if ever.

>you're looking at 30+ minute wait times for a queue that puts you into a random game mode.

fun fact, this is was ultimately killed the game. even when people bought it, there were 10+ different pve queues, 2-3 pvp queues and another 5 queues for operations.

didn't tell you how many people are queue, didn't tell you how many games are running, you only had shit console matchmaking and getting a lobby was a pain in the ass and impossible if you didn't use the discord etc.

oh, and did I mention battleborn doesn't support backfilling anywhere? someone dropped from your team? enjoy the loss. only 9 people queueing? enjoy your endless queue.

oh, and if you're >>379466154
no one knows why gearbox included sudden death, even the few leftover players during the last year. I assume it was their idea of a comeback mechanism, but like anything technical or match design they suck ass at it.

might wanna try face off and supercharged to scratch that itch, haven't tried them myself tho.

I picked the game up from a redbox for 5 bucks after playing the story intro thing on the f2p download. So I guess their trial worked....? Buying a rental copy doesn't exactly help Randy though which is alright in my book
Really only planning to play thru story with my buddy who moved away and was able to find the same deal in a redbox near him. Feels enough like BL2 that it should at least get me 5 dollars of enjoyment.

>>379471453

>>379471889
Ah. TB is indeed retarded.

>when gearbox fumbled that bulletstorm deal
?

>>379471732
this

Why doesn't Battleborn at least permit back fill.

Also why is a PvE story mode starting without a full team? If I want to play story mode without a full stack I wouldn't be in a queue for a public group. Also they should enable back fill for story mode and give you the option to be also in a back fill queue in PvE.

The normal story mode went mostly like this (with a random 5 stack team). After the beginning or in the middle of the story someone left. Now you are only 4. In worst cases you fought the boss alone. Battlborn's PvE is so fun with a full 5 stack, but with every person left and no refill the PvE loses its fun.

>>379471732
I get that too many queues is a bad thing with this player count, but I legitimately feel bad for bailing on 80% of the queues that fill tonight. I have zero interest in playing anything other than Meltdown.

That said, I am getting a few matches in, and I plan to make the most of it for the week or so that the game maintains this "higher" player count.

there's also the fact that matchmaking locks you into a region based on the steam download settings, and that took a while until people figured it out and bypassed them by manually changing their settings

>>379471627
>If you could queue into the game modes you actually enjoy, I'd say five bucks for a week of moderately increased playerbase is fine if you're looking to play more characters. Just have to accept that this game isn't going to be coming back any time soon, if ever.

mostly played via the discord, so queues and other shit don't bother me that much (and play more pve anyway).

there actually was a special incursion queue on consoled for a time, put queues have been consolidated due to the lack of players. there isn't really anything against it putting them back in (for example there's the suggestion floating around that a solo/duo queue without items might work better than a newbie queue, but that's gearbox)

>>379471771
if you enjoyed the pve you might wanna look into the season pass, you could get it for like 12€ at some point. they toned down the gearbox humor and offer enough reputability (plus a bit more challenging than even advanced story mode).

>>379467953
Why would I waste my time on a shit game?

>See some gentlemen Sniper
>Without shooting me he does a shit ton of damage
>Shoot him a little
>He hides for a second and now has full HP

Who the fuck thought having constant menu noises going on in the background that can't be muted without muting all other sound effects was a good idea in a game in which you spend an hour waiting for a match?

It's nice they let me go into an options menu to escape it but still, holy fucking shit.

>>379472203
I'll have to see if I can find somewhere selling PS4 codes for it then, before Randy destroys any hope of getting it

>>379472164
iirc it starts locally but looks further over time. still adds queue time. but yeah, that's another point of gearbox idiocy

>>379472059
>Also why is a PvE story mode starting without a full team?

because gearbox in their infinite wisdom has fixed spawns per map in bb, they don't adapt to the lower/higher playercount. why shit like that even made it through pre-production I have no idea (it's not even difficult to implement).

also pure matchmaking sucks, game gained quite a bit when using discord and you could find people etc how you wanted for what you wanted.

>>379472525
that's actually extra dumb considering Borderlands had support for scaling spawns/health/whatever based on player count live in real time

I squeezed 2 pvp games myself yesterday evening, strangely it only took a minute to find both of them. (And all of them consisted of veterans obviously.) I heard the download region matters, I switched mine to London some time ago. Might be just smoke in mirrors though.

you know... With all the naming conventions in the game, specially because i think the Free 2 Play version is called Badass edition.
...
Why instead of claiming "oh, its free trial, or try it out"
why just say its "Free 2 Kick ass"
If somebody come to you and say "its battleborn becoming F2P?" you say "Its becoming Free 2 Kick ass.

Trying to say it like you are a cool guy, you are joking, everybody will get better the point, and you will not have to say "F2P" out of your mouth.

>>379473056
If I played every game I got matched into, I really would be okay with queue times considering the game I'm playing.

Hopefully something comes of the region deal. At this point I don't care if I have to deal with a higher ping, I just want to play Meltdown again. Surely nine out of the 800 people playing recently would be okay with doing that.

>>379473245

badass edition is the name for the winter update in january. you re 6 months too late.

it's semantics anyway, no idea why people get their panties in a bunch about it. it would only work on stupid normies anyway.

>>379473456
you could try the discord, think a few more people joined already and might be glad to play something else than incursion all the time. worst case they might start it as newbie training or sth.

Meltdown only guy here, I'm succumbing to crippling sadness and playing Face Off. I have no idea what to do in this game mode and I can only hope that I don't hate it as much as Incursion.

Why just dont call it "Fee 2 Kickass Edition"

Its get to the point, and Randy could probably sleep easier at night.

because any rational being would check what limitations are in place, whether it's called f2p or "free trial". only people you get with f2p are people that fall for the label, invest hours and then get mad online WAAH IT'S P2W/TOO EXPENSIVE/WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO PAY FOR X?!

both are equally shit anyway, "multiplayer edition" or "competitive package" etc would've been better.

>>379473771
there was a famous bug (knowing gearbox probably still in there) that if someone drops before character selection the rest get dropped afterwards when the game tries to open a server instance.

and that's in addition to wonky servers (they started to have issues every once in a while even with <100 players), doubt it got much better with 10 times more players.

It could be that I just understand Meltdown more, but the game mode as a whole feels much more open. I feel like there are several equally viable yet unique things I could be doing to help at most given moments in a match.

it's the most ASSFAGGOTS mode, which is also the reason it's the most unpopular (tho that might be tied with capture). incursion is simple enough that even overwatch-rejects can play it, so it gets voted for most often.

dunno how active the draft queue is, but I think those tend to play more meltdown because it's more moba. be prepared to get stomped by premades tho.

Battleborn doesn't even have actual graphics. Why does /v/ obsess over it instead of Paragon?

>>379474752
theoretically you have the same chance to end up with newbies like the other team.

however, since this is gearbox, chances are good you'll get matched against premades because they can't even get solo-queue right. (it fills ONE team, then the other.so if everybody queues at the same time they'll most likely end up in the same team).

I'd rather get stomped in Meltdown than suffer through Incursion. I've definitely fallen from grace since I last played, but I'm starting to get the hang of it again.

I get what you mean regarding Incursion flanks, but my concern is the focus of the action is in the middle. I wish there were more side objectives like the Thrall camps and that, well, the map wasn't essentially a single long line.

It's just not for me.

Anywho, I'll see what Draft is all about tomorrow. I'm about done for the night.

>>379475528
I've actually played this game. The developers can't figure out what the fuck they want to do with the game, so it changes rather drastically every six months or so.

The playerbase fucked the game over when they decided it wasn't like League of Legends enough (not being facetious - Orb Prime didn't give buff immediately so it wasn't like the Baron so it was bad. The game let you frequently gank and teamfight VERY early on, so MOBA faggots got mad and complained until the developers did their best to facilitate a strict laning phase, which resulted in turrets going down to a single wave of minions at one point)

The game was a ton of fun back on the old map and was unique enough in gameplay. Last I played, it felt like a very shitty third person League of Legends, and I had enough of Smite a long time ago.

>>379476145
long ago, when the game came out, you where able to choose which mode you wanted to play, and vote for the map.
the community got really small, so that wasnt possible to use anymroe.

>>379476391
I know. I played the game for a month when it first came out, stopped playing when the matches started taking 10 minutes to find ten people, and stopped following development when they announced queue merges.

I was hoping that mode queues would come back when the game went free to play.

If the six matches of Meltdown I got tonight is going to be the last of Battleborn I'll get to play, well, that's six more rounds than I thought I'd get out of it.

>>379476351
Sounds annoying. That's why I've come to love HotS - it's teamfights and ganking from the get-go with a much larger focus on objectives. I genuinely do not see how the idea of a "laning phase" in this genre is of any interest to anyone. I don't want to sit around last hitting, I want to FIGHT.

>Playing Battleborn ironically

What the fuck is wrong with you cunts?

>>379476145
> I wish there were more side objectives like the Thrall camps and that, well, the map wasn't essentially a single long line.

meltdown is just 2 lines tho, and never see anyone doing the mercenaries or collecting shards for the ultra minion. but fair enough

> was hoping that mode queues would come back when the game went free to play.

gearbox probably wants to wait till after the weekend for changes (usually happen on thursday). least they were clever enough to make that shit server side, so you don't need a client patch for more/new queues and it can be done pretty quickly.

>>379476575

MOBAs are primarily about positioning, and figuring out where you are most needed. The laning phase adds a sort of Game & Watch fundamental tension by having to divide resources between fights, thus allowing for dynamic face-offs to develop, and organically escalate towards all-out climactic teamfights.

Whereas HotS is just all teamfights, all the time, and the announcer literally calling out forced fucking teamfights at the gimmick spot on the map. It's fun, but it's also comparatively shallow and retarded, for Blizzkids with minimum attention spans.

There are unironically people here playing Battleflop now that it's free

>>379476575
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Frankly, I burned myself out with four or so years of League, so I'm not sure if I'll wind up playing a top-down MOBA again, but unless something else comes around, HotS is definitely the one I'm going to.

I'm done actively ignoring the fun part of the genre for the sake of familiarity. Fuck the guys at Paragon for bailing on their early concepts just because it wasn't like the other games. If they would have just stuck to their guns and finish up their game, I'm sure they'd have a decent following, and a game that differentiated itself well enough.

>>379476736
130 hour Meltdown only guy here. I have fun playing it, simple as that. It's the exact same reason you play the games you enjoy.

>>379476749
All the games I played, seemed like everyone was on top of a mix of buildings, shards, and wave management. In fact, the players felt more consistent in capability than they did back in the day.

Fingers crossed on the change timing. I'll go in full force for a round two of this game.

>>379476812
Exactly what it says on the website. It's free to play. Rotating free characters, unlockable through earned in-game currency. Only thing you don't get pretty much is the PvE content, which IMO is complete dog shit anyway.

>>379476812
multiplayer is free, pve mode in the base game (5 bucks), operations (more pve and cosmetics) in the season pass

>>379466770
Borderlands 1 had Claptrap as the only really out of place character, and he worked decently well in that regard until they decided to turn him into a smartass (they put together a video of him accepting his nomination for Character of the year for whatever that years' game awards were, which are a whole different issue, but apparently the popularity of that influenced them to make a whole game themed around smartassery)

Basically I blame Borderlands' failings on Claptrap

This game needs more quality asses.

>>379476837
No, it's a game for people who don't want to spend literally (no, literally) 8,000 hours getting started learning how to play a video game.

Paragon is badly presented and awkward at first, but it nonetheless does without all the autistic and impenetrable mechanics you'd find in Dota.

For that matter, LoL isn't very hard to learn either.

>>379477442
I guess not. I played the Attikus operation when it came out and didn't bother with the rest after finding out they were just more PvE ordeals where I wait for people to stop fucking talking so I can kill the boss and hope I get an orange drop that doesn't have suboptimal stat rolls. With a hard limit of three players instead of the established five because I have no clue. Yes, I used to have five people to play this game with.

It just ain't for me, man. I don't care for the characters themselves, and I got my fill of PvE after a few runs of Advanced Heliophage. Complete dog shit may be an exaggeration, but I wish so strongly that it was 100% purely optional, no ties to mastery or gear.

Bundylands 3 when?

>>379477676
OPs are pretty optional, gear from there is mainly for OPs to make 100 point runs easier (for the pack + skins), and story/lore if you care about it.

heliophage is meh, later OPs got better with challenges etc. no idea why it's only max 3 ppl (gearbox capped story mode at 3 for a time as well).

found them more fun than story mode, but I agree nothing beats 5mans on advanced

So how harsh is the grind to unlock characters? How much do they cost and how much do you tend to make per match? Are there daily bonuses or anything like that?

iirc there's a bonus for the first win. in another thread someone mentioned 35k with 1,5-2k per match (haven't tried it myself so couldn't say).

you get those credits back when you upgrade to the full version which unlocks most of them.

>>379478042

The problem you're going to run into is the tradeoff between gear crates/bank pages/loadout slots and buying new characters.

If it ever gets to be overwhelming, the game's like five bucks on G2A. But you probably shouldn't pay for this game, and you can manage with the limitations.

The game is actually pretty enjoyable, just exceedingly mediocre. The worst part (BY FAR) is the dialog/voice acting, and they're atrocious.

It's a solid 6-7/10

I appreciate the co-op/campaign and some of the characters are actually really interesting in a gameplay sense and have cool, concepts, like Amara.

there's also the questline, and most gear can easily be deconstructed anyway. by the time you grinded a hero to 12 to unlock all helixes you should be close to a new one anyway (and I think they are all unlocked in the dojo so you can try them beforehand and maybe even refund the purchase in the store).

full game also gives you story mode, that alone might be worth it for some.

>>379476351

I downloaded it because I'd been playing the UT4 alpha for a while and expected it to be some sort of third-person shooter with RPG / MOBA elements. Sort of like the ancient Monday Night Combat, but lo and behold it's just some shitty SMITE clone that forces you to do all the typical MOBA shit for most of the game.

I really hope that in the near future there's a backlash against all the heavily team-based multiplayer games that have been so popular for years. It's been said that games like LoL are so popular partly because each individual can shrug off losses by just blaming team-mates instead of looking at how they did themselves, but all this really means is that you're very limited in how much of a contribution you can actually make during a game.

Same goes for Overwatch, holy shit is that game not fun when playing it alone. There's just far too much focus on having to be part of an effective team. I hope the new Quake brings in a new wave of games where you aren't shackled to 2-4 other people in order to do anything.

>tfw started downloading battleborn 2 days ago

>>379485532
You will be in quake too.

Battleborn is nice because it actually tries to be a first person shooter and moba. All the other games do not. Overwatch, Paladins, etc. Smite and Paragon are actual mobas.

The key to making a good moba is to have the heroes/skills be unique enough that you don't need to have 50 maps. In a moba, the heroes are the maps and the map is the weapons. Unfortunately, most game designers are scared and end up copying MMO/LoL mechanics and just have you stack raw stats which is boring.
