100% agree. There are so many good examples of things to implement in a modern day looter, and it feels like they are stuck in 2009. The fact that you can’t even re-roll Anointments is mind boggling to me. Re-rolling items is Looter 101 stuff.
Jan’19-Mar’20 were best 3 months of BL3 (parts of April prior to M2.0)and the only time I got/put in decent endgame time. Even Moze/Fl4k mains were happy with balance, a lot of weapons/shields/builds worked in neat and weird ways, not specific weapons needed at all. Double projectile was a thing, but it made Zane sweat even with his barrier. It just needed a tweak to be a little harder(like M5?), not completely revamped into trash we didn’t ask for.
Man, remembering the potential bl3 had is sad, I remember how everybody wanted lucian’s call, and how it was actually hard (and rewarding) to get some specific guns, I was so happy when I got my first Lyuda, how the predatory lending was a cool concept and useful gun. Steam players will never know how near replacing bl2 this game was.
Doubt it- their focus is on Godfall right now. If it does well I honestly don’t see them hurrying to make the next BL, especially if their new game mode for their next DLC is some way to make it a live service model like GTA Online…
But how else are they expected to keep us going? Design raids with mechanics? Improve on the proving grounds? Incentivize existing content like the Guardian takedown by adding a reward that allows us access to the Eridian space magic to reroll one aspect of a weapon? Nah that is too much effort and doesn’t make money. Better to go hey hey you want item x (let’s say a Monarch) and only care about the element (fire) well go kill Kilavolt 1000 times. Oh only got 9 drops and none of them were fire well try again tomorrow. I keep waiting for that last bit to be replaced with but for only $4.99…
Oh hey am I the only one that’s pissed off that there’s still a giant blank unused spot on pandora? I thought maybe the nursery rhyme crap would be part of it, but no of course not. Give us more money for stuff nobody wants instead. I knew it would be crap like this when they made more dlc for part 2 as 3 was coming out. They spent countless hours on the commander lilith stuff and didn’t finish the base game on 3! I pre-ordered every borderlands but I think I’m done with gearbox now. Pre-sequel with it’s only for australia humor and now the way they halfassed 3, I’m done giving them money.
