i’m ps4, so it sucks.

I guess I have to (a) go to the scraptrap heap to quickly level up, (b) get a new opq system, (c) then run the true trials events that are now out for a week to get new monarchs and backburners so I can then get other gear.

But you can’t really do things like the maliwan takedown or raid boss (at max level) until you’ve spent a ton of time finding the right gear.

What really kills me is that after thousands of hours into this game, I finally found the elusive one shotter shield and now two weeks later it’s underleveled.

Holy Batman … permanent Events is great , i really really don’t understand why we have to buff anoints who give 300% damage for Slam why just not buff slam damage tree directly , Urad is now worse than N2M , 150/90% Melee Amara is dead , ASA 100% … 50% life Steal , yeah this anoints is broken now … Amara and Zen can already 1 hit everything to get full life , Anoints should be rework or completly remove , this patch is so bad i’m sorry but no no

EDIT: Can we talk about IB ? It’s already OP , Moze is OP now she have more crit damage than Fl4K

It’s frustrating to the degree that I can confidently say I will not be playing BL3 over the weekend and am considering not buying Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands until some time in 2024 when the last level cap has dropped. With 50, 53, 57, Mayhem 2.0, 60, 65 and now 72, they are asking us to farm the same gear 7 times over. Whoever thought that was a good idea is only half as sane as Krieg.

Also now looking back at it, kinda wished y’all increased the level CAP before the Cartel. Wanted to jump in the Cartel but gonna have to do some things to optimize my gears . At least the seasonal events are permanent now but still

Wasn’t the final level CAP for BL2 72?

80 with the Lilith DLC. Why?

Nope 80…

Oh… I’m so sorry…

Same. If Gearbox can keep increasing their level caps when they said they wouldn’t , everyone can lie.
My girlfriend bought me a PSN card and told me she loved me, she seems sus to my eyes rn

They said they wouldn’t for the foreseeable future. Not that it makes it better.

Yeah, seems better to wait and in @GBX case a few years apparently. While I commend the fixes they have done, especially in regards to split screen, these are things that people have asked about since the game released. As I have said before I have taken BL3 as a big learning lesson when it comes to day one purchases and pre-ordering, especially when it comes from @GBX.

Def true for all nowadays. I bought this via Steam so didn’t have to endure the horrors day one players experienced so the damage was slightly better for me

Not good changes IMO. Not particularly excited about the new level cap either, personally… But permanent seasonal events is a great addition and I’m very happy for it.

Excluding the level cap I think these are great changes overall. This would have been a top 3 patch for me without the 72 level cap.

All of my character builds I’ve worked on in the last year or so are completely useless now. :upside_down_face: absolute BS if you ask me.

Seems I’m in the minority of players here that don’t mind the level cap raise. I switched from ps4 to series x though so I lost all of my progress once already and didn’t have much to lose this cap raise.

I’ve always been more excited with using what I find as I level than making OP one shot late game builds so there could be a difference in playstyle preferences too.

There is plenty of questionable changes, like no change to n2m bonus, Siren rad is still a joke, more Railgun dmg etc. It will be good with more changes in the future.
