MadLog #16

2015-11-4From Weibo weibo.com

MadLog 16: Rocket Ridge or Silent Hill? --I've just escaped from the wolves and I'm about to be plunged into a horror story, is this my destiny? On Pandora, there is a wasteland called Rocket Ridge, and the eerie atmosphere is by no means lower than Silent Hill on Earth! Being in Rocket Ridge, the air around you seems to be scared stiff. Suddenly, countless masked maniacs came running out of the huts, and it was only then that I realized I was in danger.

疯狂日志16：火箭岭还是寂静岭？——前脚刚逃离狼口，后脚又要陷入恐怖故事了，难道这就是我的命？在潘多拉上有一处叫火箭岭的荒地，阴森的氛围绝不比地球上的寂静岭low！处身于火箭岭，周围的空气似乎都被吓僵了。忽然，从各个小屋子里奔出来无数面具疯子，此时我才知道自己已经陷入危险。 ​​​

borderlands online interview (google translated, sorry)

Face to face with the producer - answers to players' core questions

Published on: 2015.08.19

Dear Treasure Hunter,

After the first test of Borderlands Online was launched, it has received enthusiastic attention from players and the media. We would like to thank the players who participated in the test for providing us with valuable feedback and suggestions during the test. During the official YY event, nearly 100 players entered the official YY channel and interacted deeply with the 2K game producer. Now we will publish the valuable feedback from some players in the YY event and the producer's answers to everyone. We hope that in the subsequent testing process, players can give us more feedback.

【About large maps and vehicles】

Q: Will there be a large outdoor map in the future ?

A: We will consider making such a large wild map to give players a stronger desire to explore and motivation to grind. Next, we will try our best to bring the scenes and elements of "Borderlands 2 " into our Online version and gradually replace it.

Q: Will there be vehicles and pets?

Answer: Vehicles are planned to be released, but they are not yet in the current version. The current version is still mainly based on infantry combat, and pets are not considered at this time.

【About weapons】

Q: Will there be more weapons with different attributes?

A: As for exclusive weapons, Borderlands OL will not limit weapons to only one weapon. Our design principle is that all weapons are common to all professions, but each profession will have special skills to strengthen a certain type of weapon, which should be an exclusive weapon in a sense.

Q: Currently, the sniper rifle is slow to open the scope and is easily interrupted.

A: We will adjust the sniper rifle's aiming speed to a more reasonable value, so that players will not feel a pause when aiming. In current PVP, sniper rifles are not so useful because of the slow aiming speed.

Q: Will there be more types of guns in the future?

A: Definitely. Players who have played "Borderlands" must know that most of the current firearms are inherited from "Borderlands 1 ". Next, we will bring the more advanced and cooler weapons from "Borderlands 2 " into our Online version.

Q: Will weapons with red attributes be released?

A: This is also in the next development plan.

Q: What is the drop rate of rare weapons?

Answer: The drop rate of rare weapons will be limited, and the better the weapon, the lower the drop rate will be.

Q: Can I modify the appearance of a gun based on the original one?

A: We will consider adding a function to change the appearance of guns after the character's profession reaches the maximum level, to encourage everyone to collect their favorite guns.

Q: Will there be more types of gun attributes?

Answer: We are currently still developing the guns with reference to the properties of the original work. The main elements are still fire, electricity and poison, and more will be added later.

Q: Can I use points to allocate equipment?

Answer: We will consider everyone's suggestions on roll equipment in the next version, and will also consider profession-exclusive equipment.

【About matching】

Question: Can the forced matching of map reading be canceled?

A: During testing, we saw many players saying that they wanted to play solo, and this option will definitely be added to the next version.

Q: I want to enter the map faster, and it would be best if I could wait freely when entering.

Answer: We will consider having a team waiting mode in the future to allow players to enter the game at the same time.

【About career】

Q: Will more character professions be developed? If so, will they be freely selectable?

A: We are currently planning to release a new character class every once in a while, and it will definitely be open to players to choose freely. At the beginning, we will release 4 classic classes that are similar to the previous game, and then we will definitely release a fifth or even a sixth class like the original game. Currently, the most popular one is the Mechanic in the original game, and we also hope to add these characters.

Q: Currently, there are relatively few people playing the Dragon class in the game. Will you consider improving it?

Answer: In this test, there are indeed relatively few people who choose Weilong in the career statistics. We will definitely consider improving it in subsequent versions.

Q: Will there be more professional skills or more professional skills being enhanced in the future?

Answer: Subsequent versions will be enhanced or adjusted according to the situation.

【About transactions and stores】

Q: Will the store have a random refresh mechanism like the original game?

A: Yes, but we still encourage players to go to dungeons to obtain weapons, which is also the fun of our game.

Q: Will there be an auction system?

Answer: We will consider developing a trading system. At present, we are more inclined to the auction house approach, so that we can better control the competitive system in the game.

【About PVE gameplay】

 Question: The monster spawning pattern in the current version of the PVE mode is too weird. After clearing one wave of monsters, another wave of monsters will spawn on the map. Will it be adjusted?

A: We will consider making adjustments in this regard. We will try to make the monsters appear in front of the characters, and will also increase the speed at which monsters appear.

Q: Will there be some new gameplay modes? Will there be grenade modules?

A: We will definitely add more gameplay and modes as the version progresses. The grenade module will be a key module in the next version and will definitely be added to the game.

【About PVP gameplay】

 Q: Will there be an arena with regular competitions, giving specific rewards to the top few places?

Answer: We now have the PVP arena mode, and we will organize some competitions regularly in the future. Players with high rankings will definitely receive special rewards.

Q: Elemental damage is too high in PVP

A: This depends on the elemental gun you have. Fire elemental damage is higher to the body, but this only happens after the shield is broken. Electric elemental damage is higher to the shield.

Question: Is RPG important or PVP ? I feel PVP is more important now. Old players of Borderlands 3 like RPG more.

Answer: The direction of our current game is still RPG- based, continuing the features of the original game . PVP is intended to allow players to prove themselves on the basis of growth, achieve better rankings, and hone their skills.

Q: Will the "Little Noisy Bomb Paradise" mode be retained in the next test?

Answer: This mode will definitely be retained and will continue to be optimized to make everyone like it more.

【About fatigue value】

Q: Will the fatigue value increase or become infinite in the future?

Answer: The fatigue value is also our attempt to allow players to take some time off after playing shooting games for a long time. We will increase it appropriately based on the needs of players.

[Other Optimizations]

Q: Can the backpack be optimized to separate equipment and materials?

A: This will definitely happen. It is in the next development plan. We will separate them into pages to make it easier for players to organize and view them.

In addition, a series of issues such as long loading time, game bugs , basic functions, UI and image quality will be optimized in the coming time. We also thank the players for participating in the test, and welcome them to continue to provide valuable suggestions through various channels.

 Sincerely from the Borderlands OL Operation Team & Pandora Planet Management Committee

What’s about Maya in the cookbook?

Not near the book at the moment, but here is an old pic I took. Apologies for the glare

Given the number of times Sirens have saved Pandora and the at large, it feels only right to create tribute dishes that capture their spirit as impeccably as possible. Originally conceived as a filling morning meal by the legendary Vault Hunter and protector of the planet Athenas, Maya, this take on a breakfast classic aims to keep the flavour phase-locked in your tastebuds all day long! It'll leave your tongue feeling a little funny, but it's a whole lot more pleasant an experience than being on the business end of Siren powers, as Maya's long list of vanquished enemies could attest.

Not so fun fact: you can't get these anymore :( (also her hair is broken ONLY with the fiona skin, her hair should be brown, not the default grey. Its normal in the promos)

Unless you save your edit file, or know someone that has a modded save with all cosmetics. Good luck!

Should I make a post on all the tales stuff refrenced in the games?
