Battlerite

How are you enjoying the beta of Battlerite, the spiritual successor of Bloodline Champions, so far, Sup Forums?

Remember that you're actually not allowed to post any footage as you're under strict NDA. Also remember that they were actually retarded enough to run a beta from Wednesday to Saturday. I doubt Sup Forums even gets to play it because they're all at work.

I played it for a bit and while it was decent enough I just want my Seeker back and it's still not in there. Also the art style seems more comic-y which I don't like too much.

Lovin' the game so far. I just hope that people give it a chance.

Same guy here. I don't love the cartoon style graphics, but that doesn't bother me.I'm all about gameplay.

It's pretty great, gameplay looks polished as fuck

sadly its going to end up a dead game just like blc

Also memelords from Stunlock Studios gave me fedora icon for my profile

no chance as they wont even know it exists just like blc

Doubt it FUNCOM is not part of the game now like it was in BLC.

2gd can plug the game and play it on stream. That's a big publicity sunt imo.

I liked the idea of bloodline champions but thought it was unplayable, tell me if they changed any of the following.

matches went for a minute to a few minutes and had nearly zero consequence
combat was finicky and wildly arcadey
there was no progression at all, statistical or implicit.
no objectives or movement
it tried to hard to be competitive instead of 'fun'
There wasn't much investment into my character or team during a match

Shit, is this up already? Fuck I wish the beta was on weekend.

what's your favourite of the bloolines? mine is probably taya but that melee/heal guy looks sick as well.

oh man, this will read like a defense force post but i don't get your post.

>matches went for a minute to a few minutes and had nearly zero consequence

maybe in conquest? otherwise this rarely happened in BLC (although i quit pretty early tbf)

>combat was finicky and wildly arcadey

what do you mean by arcadey? combat in BLC was pretty good, precise controls, no RNG, etc.

>there was no progression at all, statistical or implicit.

BLC was developed as a competitive title, that's why this was the case and it made sense. you say you "liked" the idea of BLC but it seems like you disliked everything about it? in battlerite there's silly skins for the characters, weapons and avatars (think it was the same in BLC).

>no objectives or movement

there were objectives in conquest. what the fuck do you mean with movement?

>There wasn't much investment into my character or team during a match

correct, it wasn't a fucking MOBA. if you want a moba, go play a MOBA. having said that, there is now a battlerite you get to choose before each round that slightly changes one of your abilities. so, some "investment".

here

but to actually answer your post: my first impression is that it's a more polished version of BLC with a different artstyle and (probably) a more sustainable F2P model. so no, they didn't change too much from the formula that made BLC good.

the gameplay feels a bit faster to me but it's been so long since i last played BLC, i could be wrong.

is league of legends the only game you've ever played and league dev talks the only thing you've ever watched

I feel like they changed Randit too much, he does so little damage now even with proper toxins.

Where's my GLUTTON though?

maybe if 2gd had 10 thousands of viewers.

I don't remember the game modes, I just remember the matches being unsatisfying short.

arcadey not in the controls but in that it was a clusterfuck of characters in an inconsequential arena

movement as is the matches moves around the field. objectives change and strategies evolve.

I hate MOBAs, maybe that's why I didn't like BLC

the point of BLC was creating a team-based PVP game, so basically take every annoying thing away from MOBAs and make everything on a smaller scale. that meant that matches were short because it lacked the stupid "jungling" mechanic to grind up money first or some shit like in mobas. it was based in small arenas because it was about killing each other instead of moba-things. that simplicity is what made it so fun. just pvp action, no fucking NPCs anywhere.


>I hate MOBAs

really? should have a look at them again, seeing as every single thing you want seems to be part of every MOBA game.

I posted this in the other thread but fuck it
is this supposed to be a 1:1 port of bloodline champions or something?
How are they allowed to do this?

same company?

ayo one of you viral marketers wanna hit me up with a beta code

Check mmobomb.

it's made by the same people but it has no official relation to BLC i think (other than being mechanically the same basically). some of the bloodlines have very similar names/their old names in the descriptions as well. i doubt they haven't talked to their lawyers before doing this though.

>they're all at work

they won't
I have played fighing games for 15 years now.
People that you thought were your friends wont even look at it twice when something more casual like LoL and Dota where they can blame their team mates better exists.

It's sab but that's how the world works

damn, there are actually over 3000 keys just laying around on mmobomb. pretty funny how nobody even wants them.

Because no one knows this game exists.

that excuse was true for BLC back then but battlerite is on steam and it's their second try so i think they haven't done their job very well if people still don't know about the game.

Just because it's on steam doesn't mean it's being advertised. The only reason you'd even know about this game is if you followed BLC closely enough to know it existed.

It's okay. I liked BLC a lot more. This is way slower. And the dialog makes me cringe

Have the devs said whether or not all of the classes from BLC are going to be ported?

I want my main man Herald of Insight in this.

You are the exact new audience there catering to. Exactly why the game will fail because the old school like me will just keep playing blc because we can't stand the changes they made for people like you. But they did make all those changes.

You have Wednesday through Sunday. Yu can play on the weekend.

It isn't.

A lot of abilities are changed or removed and the game is a lot slower and has new mechanics.

I could go into detail but basically, it only looks similar on the surface. If you play both, it is very evident that they are vastly different games.

This is where I get.

All my friends try to make me play over watch or wow. The only friends who don't have complete shit taste are this one girl, but she's still a casual normiebad (zelda, halo, gta5, final fantasy) but at least she's not playing a moba or only stardew/only terraria.

And my friend's I met online and pvpd with on wow like 8 years ago. Those are the only ones I got to try blc.

Play the goat dude, oulum or whatever his name is., he's pretty much herald. Time mage and all.

The chronoflux mechanic was broken and replaced with the equivalent of Mr game and watch'sh barrel you can catch a projectile in, then shoot it back with.

Literally nobody has even heard of it

Fuck off marketers.

Sage and report

>same characters
>same skills
>same gametypes
>same graphics (or even worse)
Can somebody explain why they made a new game out of it? Just to reset all the progression and jew shekels on the same BLC content again?

>will just keep playing blc

isn't blc dead/they fucked the whole gameplay up with updates?

>play fire midget
>exactly the same as playing him in BLC except oh there's ex abilities now
could you be more full of shit

the original bloodline champions deserved more credit than it got, even doe it was pretty spammy and memey but I havent heard of the new one untill now, how do you get into the beta?

>And my friend's I met online and pvpd with on wow like 8 years ago. Those are the only ones I got to try blc.

all the ones i pvped with are playing wow again and don't care for other games.

fuck off normie

you could register for it (and probably still can) to receive a key. but you can also just go to mmobomb and grab one of their keys, you have to create an account on the site though.

So far I don't know if I prefer this or BLC. It's different, not much but still a lot.

Things like "battlerites", that talent system and all those "modern" stuff like chests, leveling heroes on your account and whatever. I'm not sure if I like it or not.

do you even looked into BLC and this? I doubt it because you wouldn't say stupid things like that

>calling people normies for not playing fucking mobas

it's not a moba. not everything where you see people fighting from an isometric view is a fucking moba.

the only thing that i can come up with that feels close to it is old WoW arena pvp (don't know if this still exists).

there's no future with this game, just like blc. don't bother wasting your time

>why live, you'll die one day anyway

So this is kind of like a much faster paced unending teamfight from Dota?

just looking at alch makes me want to alt+f4
looks cartoony and shitty like LoL

yeah, or if you played wow arenas 2v2 , 3v3 etc kind of like that.

also, does this new blc have that death guy with the grip pull?

true, everyone copies lol dogshit design cuz lol made money so they want a piece now.

I played BLC and this game looks completely the same from gameplay trailer.

Explain what is different.

not much desu. same dedgame

you get to choose battlerites at the start of each round. they slightly change one of your abilities. and the changes are always good for either offense, defense, surivial, etc. it adds just a little bit individualization.

and also the f2p models seems more sustainable

Explain to me what this game is.
Sounds too much like Battleborn

wow arenas (2on2, 3on3) without RNG and with an isometic view. that's as short as possible.

this and the Energy pickup system is also changed
they went back to the single digit hp/dmg system(I admit that not much)
no Medallions and Gems obviously
no F1/F2 rez and heal
the abilities are changed too, one slot got turned into 25% energy ability
things feel more streamlined, not sure if that's the right word for it. simpler maybe

Also the "battlerite" system can let you make some nice combos if you choose them properly, although I'm not really sure if the game needed such thing.

You should really try it or at least look it up before you say stuff like that.

I'm loving the game again so far. Had like 1000+ hours in the first game. I wish there was someone i just love playing. I can't find a nig that i just clicked with like pomp in blc.

I was so good at pomp in blc. I just can't get the hang of her in this game and it hurts so much. Aside from the dumb rat i like everything about her looks and her abilities but otherside on right click is throwing me off.

Also i miss dryad. I hope they port over everyone from blc eventually.

Battlerite is as if Street fighter, WoW arena, warcraft 3 custom map "warlocks", Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, and Brawl had a baby

daily reminder that seeker, harbinger and glutton are coming back

I had the same issue and quickly realized I was overthinking her

you're just supposed to heal your allies and evade 90% of the time and dps when they're not taking damage, she's super dumbed down and it sucks

do you have any confirmation for seeker coming back? i'm really struggling without him.

Waited so long for proper BLC. Too bad that crumbling island arena better in everything

>Beta is out
Thanks OP. Would have probably completely missed this otherwise.

>Also i miss dryad
My man. Dryad was the shit.

No user, the point of BLC was creating a skill based standalone wow arena game

>glutton
fuck that
>seeker
fuck THAT too

seriously, I still have PTSD about some hardcore players with them

She seems so strong in 3s but trash in 2s. I wreck house consistantly with her in 3s but struggle hard in 2s. I'm probably still just awful.

Having the heal and damage both on soulbolt is also killin me because it can only heal her if she hits an ally (or on other abilities through battlerites) so she doesn't get a more reliable self heal for those sick clutch 2v1s.

I'll play her some more when i get home.

It always felt like glutton is easy to learn but hard to master. I was good with every healer but if a solid ass glutton was good with his ex earth storm and my favorite ability Meat Bolt then i just got my anus breached and prostate reached.

yep
I can't wait for reaver and blood priest tho

The only reliable heal is to heal your teammates, so you really can't be very aggressive with her anymore

You need to be annoying enough to get people to attack you and then play evasive and heal your teammates so your teammate gets free attacks in

You can't be versatile and switch between offense and defense like old Pomp, if you try to focus on offense more than poking with wolf then it just lets people gang up on you and nobody will be able to peel

That might be why I'm suckin ass. I played old pomp aggressive as fuck to the point where I'm dealing more damage than my rape train glutton and thorns buddy while still keeping everyone alive.

I'll give that a shot tonight when im home.

game is really fun but i'm butthurt that rating is universal and there's no unranked queue. so if you every play solo or play a BL that's not your main, your MMR will drop like a rock

he was shown in the trailer but isn't in game yet

There are orbs in the middle of the arena that are important to control, also hp/meter powerups off to the side that are also important to control.

they even call characters by names now, Lucie, Iva and shit
disgusting

mfw they send me 2 keys after i buy one

what? you can get them for free everywhere, why would you buy one

3 euros for something that you couldnt get anymore, during the first weekend they were completely ran out everywhere

there were literally 10k keys given out first come first serve on a website that lasted nearly 2 days last test lol

>see this post
>start to read it
>get an email
>its a fucking key to this game
>gf just found my porn folder
>its not good

what does it all mean?!

it was reported on reddit that the french site giving them out literally ran out during the first day m8
and i dont give a shit about paying 3 euros about something i actually want to play

lots of people didnt get in LOL

Basically the melee of ASSFAGGOTS.

I hope it will be the next big esports title.

they gave a key to most everyone who signed up via email and then there was a 10k key giveaway that was up for ~35 hours before it ran out of keys

if you were actually interested in this game you would have gotten a key without paying for it

nah, people begged for keys on leddit and twitter

I really like the game, but I feel like BLC fags are ruining the game by demanding the game to be as much as possible like BLC.

okay how do you unmount? serious question
using skills / left click doesn't count

yeah believe it or not
i dont follow vidya news sites or games like this that i know are in alpha and dont have beta
i literally started looking the moment i heard of the beta, and they already ran out and i signed up during the small rise of blc in steam when the fucking game was announced on 3 emails and got jack shit

the game was announced nearly a year ago and blc peak players was like 5k people you don't actually care about this game

yeah nah
the first there was anything about it anywhere it in steam after blc came to steam
and i dont even know why youre sperging out about something like this
i like the game, end of story

fuck off you funcom apologist shill

i don't even what you're arguing over tbf

Post gameplay videos.

u wot?
i never said anything about funcom and i havent shilled anything either
youre actaully autistic

Could you be any more obvious shill?

youtube.com/watch?v=f5Q041c0Sis

It means you're normie

fucking samefag marketer stop pretending

>quote same post twice
>samefag

Yeah, well. I guess.

Imagine being this desperate to shill your game that you make almost a hundred posts in your own thread.

fuck, I'm retarded. Meant these
And if even a retard spots shilling, it's VERY bad shilling

It's pretty fun, there hasn't been anything quite like BLC since it died thanks to retarded publisher decisions so it's pretty refreshing to play it again without P2W bullshit.
