Old Thread: Incoming Fish Waifu Edition

A new FPS-MOBA from Gearbox. It's Borderlands without the memes, and has MNC-style PvP game modes.

>Should I buy it?
It's fun. You can grab it for $34 on keysites. It's also on sale on Amazon for $40 bucks.

first

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Yep, any gear with a proc based on depleted shields is always active on Eldrid characters. The only exception is Kelvin, as he has shields but they're normally down, but he can get shields from various sources (Kleese, Reyna, his own permafrost ability) which would unproc the gear.

Only Kelvin.

This is the type of user that finds Battleborn appealing huh?

It was tested, unless they patched how Eldrid work they do not benefit from the "shield depleted" condition since they don't have a shield meter at all.

Those items work on Kelvin because he does have a shield, it just has a negative base regen.

>implying "first for x" isn't in every general thread

Don't you have VODs to drool over?

Go back to waifu posting.

What did he mean by this?

Fake tweets to stir up shit. So what he meant by that was "Please give me attention".

Is Thorns focused volley mutation worth it? What in general is the best thing to choose for that level?

WHY NOT JUST REMOVE THE STUN FROM GALILEA?

Like every melee has a niche but El Dragon.

...

>mfw battleborn will be deader than planetside 2 soon

So memes aside, how dead is this game

One of the devs definitely waifu'd Galilea. Her kit is fucking absurd. Stuns, pulls, sciences, damage amps, she's the only one who can attack while sprinting, she's the only one with the wound debuff, a aoe dmg/heal/damage reduction ult, a huge damage shield, her damage is good, etc.

She's basically better than anyone at almost every roll. I'm nervous that someone wont let their speshul edgy marine waifu be anything besides "really strong".

not to forget her completely unique cc effect of wound which NO ONE ELSE IN THE GAME HAS

Gali the best.

she is cute

El Dragon's niche is running around blocking all the shots of all your team mates, while simultaneously making it impossible to move where you want to because he's in the goddamn way.

i've said it once i'll say it again i would HATEFUCK THAT FUCKING PURPLE BITCH

>>planetside 2
You betta think about whatchu sayin
You betta think about the consequences of ya actions
I don't want to go through this again ;_;

I mastered Orendi, but while she's great at working the objective, she has a bit of a hard time dealing with Marquis and Miko's healing and will be useless without any support.

Do you think I should work on Ghalt next? He'll be able to always disrupt the enemy team, no matter what my team's composition is.

Do you like playing Ghalt? I hated it, personally.

I had a great time from the little exposure I had.

Once concern is that I don't know what gear to take for dual wielding - Should I take attack damage or skill damage? It's weird, it feels like dual wielding is completely separate from the normal shotgun, and doesn't scale well enough into late game to compete.

On Ghalt? I'd take CDR above anything else.

Was she always purple

Sup guys, how's it been?

Is this lewd

FURRIES GET OUT REEEEEEEEE

It's Evolve-tier dead

Hard to,e dealing with miko and marquis? Just kill them you can literally two shot them if you land a pillar.

maybe

it's very lewd

This is a lie

It will be after 4pm PDT.
Numbers already going down steadily last few days. Just going down more when OW releases.
RIP in peace.
I told you so /bbg/.

when the summersale arrives game will probably be 50% off, then we'll get some new players

RIP cute Alani.
;_;

check the steam statistics

more people play Borderlands than Battleborn

Yeah, she's pretty bae. I'll still play Battlegoyim here and there. I'm sure the consolecucks will probably live a little longer since you can't ever really tell what the normies and casuals are gonna do.
They are notorious for buying games that are flavor of the month tho. I'm sure they will make themselves heard on the reddits when this thread completely dies.
"IT"S NOT DED GAIS WE SWEAR"

>bae

kill yourself

>steam statistics
we all know that the console playerbase is much higher than the PC one

#TRIGGERED

>ded geam
That's not what I meant. RIP cute Alani, Gearbox's modellers ruined you when they turned you into a 3D model.

source: your ass

meanwhile a soundtrack sells more copies than BB

geez, my ass must make a good source then
and this is just USA, apparantly it was #1 seller in the UK

>7th May
It dropped rapidly past week 1. I enjoy the game, but it is what it is.

>7th May

>sales now equal current playerbase

10/10 shitpost

...

>apparantly it was #1 seller in the UK

Nope. Ratchet and Clank was #1 in the UK for a few weeks up until Uncharted 4 came out.

Uncharted 4 is still top now beating DOOM on 3 platforms. I highly doubt Battleborn has came close to outselling UC4 or even DOOM

Reporting in with more PoplarEngine.ini fiddling.

>SkeletalMeshLODBias=0
This reduces the number of polys on the models. Set it to 1 or 2 for a greater reduction, 0 is full resolution.
>ParticleLODBias=0
Same thing but for particles, but even setting it to 1 causes effects to become invisible, so I don't recommend messing with it.
>MaxPointSpotShadowResolution=512
>MaxDirectionalShadowResolution=2048
Reducing these numbers may give you a performance boost with dynamic shadows on.
>bAllowFracturedDamage=False
I haven't noticed any differences with this turned on or off.

I have master of Ghalt, he's amazing if you can land hooks and pretty mediocre if you can't.

Dual wielding is bad and rarely has a good use. It doesn't take any helix choices into effect so while it says "Doubles your damage output", it's at best a 50% increase, if you're landing all your shots. Past level 7-8 (where you get doubleshot) it's a distinct decrease. Couple that with a length "cast time", and the fact that it silences you, and it's just not really worth using unless you're level 10 and need the escape power of 25% movement speed or CC immunity.

He's a very good ganker but you should pretty much ignore his ult. For gear, I take his lore item, a legendary that increases skill damage and causes skill damage to give them a 6% damage amp, and then a reload mod. His power spikes really hard at lvl 7-8 so make sure you're clearing minions and dont chase too hard, you're playing the long game.

I want to eat sushi she caught with her teeth off Alani's naked body.

All the 3D models of the female characters are vastly inferior to their 2D versions so far, see: Deande and Mellka. At least Alani is Phoebe tier cartoonish CGI hot.

So what do you guys think we'll get in terms of personality? The "raised a healer but forced to be a warrior" backstory, vaguely Asian features and smirk of her 3D model make me think she'll be a kung fu femme fatale of calm righteous vengeance.

Mellka's art is pretty close to her in-game. I think she looks the best out of all the Battleborn females, honestly. Deande was going to look weird either way.

Knowing Gearbox, she's going to have an oedipus complex or something like that.

Guess I'll post whatever concepts I can find of the ladies.

...

fucking ESL. plz...

Galilea>everyone else

...

...

...

I've hear that there should be problems with the optimization. Have this been fixed?

They're still working on it. Last patch improved some pve maps.

Anyone still getting random crashes now and then? 980 ti here. Got them during open beta as well. Happens most often on Heliophage.

Very nice. Currently mastering ISIC.

Anyone willing to do a premade team? I would join you.

Also, is there anyone using Kepler and having performance issues?

>tripfagging
pls leave

No.

Christ this thread is dead as balls.
47 MINUTES till the last response?
Dude, you gotta step it up. Or just the general die. Your choices.

onlywat.ch/
Official countdown for death, don't worry about it.

I give it until late September when everyone just moves on to hyping up BF1.
Enjoy your TF2 lite.

Alani trailer when

They are going to release one before she actually drops tomorrow right?

you're not getting into any premades then

>Alani only speaks in Engrish
>running gag of all the other characters except Orendi wondering what the hell she's saying

>those shoulders
>that jawline

she's a dude.

guys there's a hidden message in that alani reveal image

It's a shame they fucked up Alani's face so bad. I hope her voice over isn't super annoying too.

They all kinda are. C'est la Gearbox.

I play battleborn on console and get games easily. I look forward to playing battleborn for quite some time to come.

I played evolve. BB aint evolve dead.

Am I only only one not having any issues with her model? I mean pheobe is still best. But alani looks pretty cute.

Her head is about 1.5 times longer vertically than it should be. Is this autism? Maybe it's autism. I can't help noticing strange proportions.

She's a fucking fish alien, of course she is gonna have weird proportions you autist.

>It's fucking Gearbox, of course she is gonna have weird proportions you autist.
There, I fixed it for you.

based overshill retard

This pic should not do things on my dick.
But it do.

I think the alani pic and this one you posted can't be compared. Like there is no semblance of anatomy in this.

the artistic proportions are garbage whether she's an alien or not

Shouldn't you be fapping to some Shillwatch SFM porn?

good one

>TFW I genuinely like over watch and bb
> that feel when the communities hate each other.
It sucks.

No, battleborne hates overwatch because it's a superior game and cucked them hard.
But soon there will be no one playing this game anyways.

if you have gear with +healing received do you get more health if you heal yourself? like ambras sunspot

Superior why? Overwatch dose nothing i like about battle born better. Mostly because is does not have those gameplay elements at all.

the only reason I hate overwatch is because of its fanbase consisting of 12yo twitch memelords

>yfw overwatch flops and everybody from there moves over to battleborn

I don't want any of them to fail though.

I had a better chance at winning the fucking powerball than this happening.

I love both games but that will never happen.
Blizzard has hordes of blizzdrones who will eat literally anything they shit out.

I don't hate Overwatch. I hate the overwatch fanbase for coming into battleborn threads and being asshats.

Is overwatch full of Gearbox fanboys shitposting? Its actually kinda frustrating.

Oh well.
