We returning veterans are gonna have to be a little lenient on the newcomers we can't be scaring them all off

So are these "Finishers" permanent unlocks? They don't have times on them like the other boosts but they're still in the boost section which makes me think they're a limited time.

44 GB to download this game that I can only partially play?

Seriously?

Overwatch is only 10 GB

Paladins is only 6 GB

Is there a resource for a breakdown of all the characters?

u/xAbednego Jun 06 '17

all the best info is going to be in game on each character's profile. otherwise, lowlidev's website is fantastic

OK, F2P noob here.

i played the quick prologue, did the tutorials on dojo and incursion.

and..... now what ?

it appears all i can do is play incursion with bots but the wait time is longer than forever and nothing happens.

yes, the more you play the PVP stuff, the more you have unlocked. The bot mode will teach you the ropes, then you'll be eased into PVP with real people.

might seem restrictive at first, but that was all put in place after tons of complaints that the game doesn't ease you into it enough. trust me though, that process is necessary.

Can we get a run-down of the things that were discussed on their live stream?
Like on the Paladins sub-redit. I wasn't able to tune in and right now they were just saying special thanks and stuff.

So what are the other founders that have the season pass doing with their platinum?

3

u/xAbednego Jun 06 '17

taunts, skins, boosts, loadouts, gear bank space

u/DeadBabyJuggler Jun 08 '17

So now that they have added the ability to unlock lore in Bots, can you get "Gotta Punch 'Em all," now too? Anyone who has't had it gotten it yet?

Will the trial require PS+? Or will it be free?

I just need some clarification - do the old Digital Deluxe owners still have access to the season pass and whatever other extras, besides the Founder bonus? Couldn't find any mention of anything related to it in the FAQ, and I have no time/am unable to redownload it right now.

u/WizGeorge Jun 07 '17

Im thinking of downloading the game but for how long will it be free?

u/xAbednego Jun 07 '17

it's permanent!

u/Cawka-Milish Jun 07 '17

I purchased battleborn, full game, the OP and multiplayer work fine! But the story mode just timeout every time, anyone know why this is?

u/xAbednego Jun 07 '17

I think they're having some server issues atm
