Wow, it looks like BLC. The battlerite system seems... gimmicky? Hard to tell without more info. Looks like they're persistent buffs from round to round, looked like they were random at first. Sorta reminds me of HotS in that respect. Seeing the actual gameplay tho... drat, I'm actually jonesing to play it now. lmao at the stutter/lag in a promo video tho. e: Seems to be two heroes they haven't show cased before, too busy to watch through and see if they get played.

The resurgence of fps games starting with battleborn feels like everyone capitalizing on the fps market in light of OW's success the same way every developer had to make a moba clone after League of Legends.

This stream of Battlerite is extremely encouraging. Everything I've heard about the game on paper and the logo release and the character design and the almost generic cartoony look really made me uneasy about the game. But actually seeing it in action is completely different. Stunlock really learned their lessons (visually) from Bloodline Champions. The game is remarkably clear and it's very easy to tell what the hell's going on even coming into the game completely fresh. Even with having no clue what the abilities are and how good they are and stuff, I can immediately tell when someone's doing a big powerful ultimate or EX ability, I can tell when someone's just taking pot shots, I can tell when someone's running away vs. when they're using an ability to escape. The cartoony style -- which I wasn't a fan of at first because I really loved Bloodline Champion's look and direction it was amazingly original and very creative -- is growing on me. Characters remain distinctive, while reading much more cleanly when you zoom out and are actively playing the game. One thing in particular I love is the slowdown on kills. It looks cool, and it also tells everyone in the match that Someone Died, which is a seriously huge thing in a 2v2 or 3v3 environment. It gives the team that's now a man down some time to gather themselves and re-evaluate how to get out of the nasty situation that they're in... and it also gives the aggressors time to line up abilities and finish off whoever's left. After being on the fence about this game for a few months now I'm actually looking forward to beta access // release.

Arena fps games are cool. Games dont have to be popular to be good, for example this game is probably going to be good but dead

Alpha participants are not allowed to discuss features or details of the game, but speaking as one I will say I am stoked for my next opportunity to play, and my hype for the beta phase has only increased. Edit: Also, I took some horrible screengrabs from the promo stream and put the unannounced champs up in the op. Should I put the rest of the official champion descriptions up or leave em as-is?

Looks like it wasn't Funcom who killed BLC after all - Stunlock doesn't know what the gently caress they're doing. A 'pure skill competitive e-sport' where you have to grind/buy individual characters and more come out all the time. Great.

I have to agree here, their monetization scheme of buying individual heroes really kills the player growth needed for a F2P game to succeed. They are not Riot, they are not Blizzard, they are just a small company with a game with near zero hype.

Anyone gotten a spare key yet? A friend got a key from a giveaway, who apparently got a key from someone that got two (one for a friend) I'd love to play with him if someone has a dupe.

For the beta, they've loosened the NDA so that you can discuss what happens in the game, but still can't stream/record. So there's no reason we can't share our ids here, and find a discord to play in.

So it turns out the servers are up right now, though apparently they're the old test servers so if you can get on you may not have the ~true 9/2-9/4 beta experience~ Edit - And they're down now that they caught on. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Sep 2, 2016 |

It seems that 2v2 is the more focused mode, but 3v3 is just as good of a mode. In private matches you can play 1v1 too apparently.

Got in 50 or so matches today and I have to say it plays pretty well. The big concern is the hero balance for the stuff coming out after the Early Access stuff and making sure it's not a "pay to win with the new hero" and making sure there's actually people playing regularly. I really like this more than BLC overall which is a good sign.

Played a couple of games and this is real fun. I'm just having a weird time with the interrupt button, how often do you guys use it and what do you bind it to? And do people tend to turn move to interrupt on?

And do people tend to turn move to interrupt on? Mostly faking casts for baiting spell block and trance abilities, iirc there's a small gcd after now instead of being free like in BLC. Move to interrupt or interrupt bind is personal preference, whatever feels better for you. Edit: in BLC it also let you stop some friendly defensive abilities prematurely, like Gluttons Earth Shield that pinned you in place.

Battlerite twitter is giving steam codes for the beta. I'm terribly slow with that kinda stuff but I managed to snag one because they accidentally put some codes with a missing character on it, so I tried it with a random character and it ended up being accepted.

Maybe I'm just worst than I realize I don't think you have to use it, it's just what I used in BLC. I think you do want to use the interrupt button if you don't use move to interrupt, and you are trying to play optimally.
