Hello everyone, to start things off I'd like to say that I went back a few pages and did not find any posts for this game.

If you like games like Team Fortress 2, and recently Overwatch, then this game is for you. Personally I think its the best of this type around.

THIS IS NOT A MOBA!!!

With the thread I also come bearing gifts (keys) as I have also been invited to Beta's from SA so I feel its my duty to give back to this awesome community.

Let's get started.



The Makers of Smite come back with a fun, refreshing, First Person Shooter

As they say, third time’s the charm (I didn't like overwatch, and battleborn), because Paladins has that ‘it’ factor for me,
You don’t die in an instant like other games in the genre. It has a more “halo-like” health system
so that even though you are getting hit, you have more than just a few seconds to turn the battle in your favor.
Especially using the Card system.

The card aspect of the game is really well done. You can make decks centered around one skill,
or mix and match to get more health, further rolls, or heal yourself on the killing blow.
You have four slots for your custom decks as well.

There are currently three game modes. Capture and Payload which has you fighting for a control spot, after it has been taken over, a machine spawns that you must stay near,
to bring it into the enemy's fortress. Kind of like Team Fortress 2. A new mode called Survivor is just as it sounds, one death and you’re out.



There are currently 14 characters, with a new one added about once a month. Patches come usually once a week and sometimes they blind side you with it's contents.

They took out a game mode for a patch for instance.

The Card System

The Card system is what makes this great game stand out from the pack. You buy cards for you favorite hero common, rare, legendary, etc.
You then choose your cards on what you want to do.Do you like playing as Cassie, well she has a move that fires laser arrows, you can put
a card that makes it shoot 3 arrows in a wide range. There is a skill that grants you extra damage if you hit an enemy coming off from a roll.
You can add a card that takes off 3 seconds if the arrow hits.

Like I said once I have a few beta keys to give out, post your email here, once you hit level 4 in game you receive even more invites!
So let's get this invite train going!

(I Hope I made this thread right, please let me know if anything is wrong.)

I've only played a few rounds so far but I'm digging this, and am okay with more games following the Battleborn / Overwatch style of first person shooter.

When I reach level 4 I'll send out some beta keys to whoever else wants in.

edit: I found it was taking longer and longer each time I tried to get into a match so I'm gonna take a break for now.

They are all "free" in a sense that you have to earn credits by playing, or you signup for founder's club for 19.99 and you get every character now and forever. Kind of like how they did it with smite.

It's not but I don't see why they wouldn't bring it to the ps4 at some point. They did the same with smite.

Kinda seems like Fernando is by far the best in the game? He makes so much space and just, like, gettin in there and nutting up wins objectives. I dunno I think the other tanky characters need something extra to be anywhere near as useful as Fernando.

He shits out health just by standing by the payload.

I can't believe this game isn't like getting sued by blizzard, there is so much copied from overwatch it's insane.
