se_guevara99 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I was considering playing this game since I have had the disc for some time but never really got round to playing it, so I was just wondering if it was still obtainable or if servers had been shut down?

HuntingFever Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 The servers are closing on Jan 25th, 2021 so the Platinum is still obtainable but the 100% isn't, because the Season Pass has been delisted and there's nowhere near enough time to grind out the Platinum currency needed to buy the in-game Season Pass bundle. If you haven't already started this game, then don't bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se_guevara99 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Okay, thanks bro. So say I tried going just for the platinum, do you reckon I could do it before the servers shut or is it a grind? I haven't even touched the game yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't that good a game and the trophies are so grindy. Virtually every trophy is a grind. I'm slogging through it because I had already started it and didn't want to be permanently locked out of a plat but i don't particularly enjoy it!!! However, if you really want to play it I've personally had no trouble with the servers and as far as i know, all non-dlc trophies are obtainable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battleborn is a lot of fun when you get into it but the trophies are very grindy. If the 100% was still possible, you would be able to get all of the DLC trophies in a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you guys, to be honest I am more focused on other games and given the server shutdown deadline in January, it may be tough since I can't play it 4 hours everyday... The 5 people for 1 trophy would probably be hard to do aswell it's a pity but I may just have to let it slide Looking at the trophy guide, is the Civil Ice trophy also multiplayer or can it just be done with 2 controllers?

Civil Ice can be done with one controller. 2 make ' Miko are All My Friends' easier. Micro Macro Mist Me will be a pain in the arse without boosting though!!!

se_guevara99 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Hmm, the more I look at it, the more I think I will go for the online trophies and then come back to the game at a later stage to do the rest 18 hours ago, JoesusHCrust said: Civil Ice can be done with one controller. 2 make ' Miko are All My Friends' easier.

Once the servers get switched off, the game will become the digital equivalent of a worthless brick on your Hard Drive. Edited November 14, 2020 by HuntingFever Update.

The game is really bland. The trophy list is grindy as hell. This is one game well worth leaving be if you haven't started it yet. The game is a huge time commitment and you will never be able to 100% it. There are loads of better options if you're thinking to sink a hundred odd hours into a game!!!

Each to their own but personally, I love this game to death and have approx 500hrs logged in it - though I can see how it's not for everyone . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking I could do the online trophies before the servers shutdown and then carry on doing the other trophies since they didn't need online but since you say the game is always required to be online and connected to servers, I guess I'll have to skip this one That is kind of crazy though how them closing the servers kills the game entirely as there is no offline mode Edited November 15, 2020 by se_guevara99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POEman553 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I wouldn't do it. The servers for this game are notorious for not saving stats. I haven't checked recently if that's still an issue though. I managed to get the 100% and the Platinum but like what was said earlier -- everything in this game is an incredible grind. It looks like Gearbox didn't learn their lesson and Godfall is more of the same just done by a different developer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
