[QUOTE=Stroheim;52333419]Granted with both Paladins and Overwatch getting a double xp weekend this week it could dampen the numbers but who knows[/QUOTE] It's almost hilarious how Overwatch still manages to find new ways to pull the rug out from under Battleborn. If it wasn't so tragic.

[B][I]Under 1,000.[/I][/B] I really do want to think Overwatch's double xp weekend is cutting into Battleborn's numbers. Just watching one game completely devour another is like watching a huge disaster unfold; and it wouldn't be nearly as satisiftying if it weren't for Gearbox's/Randy's history.

I mean just look at the charts. The fact that it's still around 700+ with both Paladins and OW running a double XP weekend is both sad and impressive.

I'm a bit confused. Does "free trial" mean free trial or F2P? On one hand everyone seems to say it's much like F2P multiplayer + pay for single player, on the other hand it would be incredibly stupid to call F2P game - even one that is limited to MP - a "free trial" that everyone understands initially as a free weekend. Anyway, I would be sad about this game being completely destroyed by Overwatch if it wasn't for [URL="https://twitter.com/battleborn/status/706956858460741632"]this.[/URL] Talk shit, get hit.
Two updates if anyone really cares about this thing: [img]https://i.imgur.com/KYn4cBt.png[/img] 1. Ever since last week, the player numbers have been going down dramatically. As of right now, the peak # of players in 24 hours been [b][u]481[/u][/b], with the weekend is bringing in around [b][u]750ish[/u][/b] players 2. There's a bunch of stuff incoming tommorrow. There's a new gamemode coming out called Supercharge, there's some new heroes being swapped in and also [B]5v5 will become 1 queue. Battleborn will become a 3v3 and 5v5 game now.[/B] Now it's not even a FPS moba-like anymore I guess?
