MAJOR BUMP to this thread. The matchmaking is atrocious and a major step backwards from the matchmaking in Borderlands 2, which gave you significantly more control when managing your multiplayer experience.
Gearbox sorely need to bring back the Matchmaking Brower menu that allows you to decide which game you want to jump into. Or at the very least they need to make it so that jumping into someone else’s game doesn’t compromise your own game in any way.
When you return to your own game after multiplayer, you should always go back to the point in the story that you were at originally. And then as you proceed and pick up missions that you might have completed in multiplayer, you should be given the option to skip those missions … or to simply play them again.
Nobody should be missing story content, and playing with others shouldn’t feel like a massive, terrible gamble in a multiplayer focused game. I’d like to see this problem corrected as soon as possible. To me this is the game’s greatest, fundamental flaw, and – as enjoyable as Borderlands 3 absolutely is – I’ve actually found myself drifting back to Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel for their superior matchmaking alone.
This also happened to me and it makes me want to just go ahead and delete my level 24 siren just to restart all over again I missed so much of the story makes me sick to my stomach
I just submitted a ticket, got me as well. Oddly enough, I was also on ‘Beneath the Meridian’ and got skipped to ‘Hammerlocked’. What is weird, is that I was actually back on ‘Atlas, at last’ when I skipped ahead just to greet and check on my buddy (who was on ‘Hammerlocked’) and it gave me no problems when I refused the prompted. Quit the game, resumed several times - no skips.
But I complete ‘Atlas, At Last’ and decide to take a nightly break before doing ‘Beneath the Meridian’ - and now I get skipped to ‘Hammerlocked’. Given this seems to be the quest that is getting skipped for several of the posters here I wonder if it isn’t a bug with that specific quest?
So there’s no fix for this issue yet? Is there at least a way to reset TVHM playthrough? I’m willing to replay through the story up to the point where the skip occured.
Yep, same issue here. Joining others via Campaign in Matchmaking ends up with me completely skipping 1-2 missions ahead at least, and even if I exit right away, I’m still stuck at that point in the story and cannot go back to play the missions that I missed. Skipping me ahead is just destroying the story for me =(
There should definitely be an option to prevent you from skipping missions you haven’t fully played, and make sure that it goes by objectives too (so that when you join someone else that is on the same mission, they are not almost completely done with the objectives at the very end so you are still essentially skipping the entire mission and story to go with it).
I also highly suggest that when you join a campaign with someone, that you spawn somewhere relatively close to them, instead of on the very beginning of the map. About 50% of the time it seems like I have to spend about 1-2 minutes sprinting to the other players location, meanwhile all baddies in every section are spawning and trying to kill me while I’m running to catch up.
I dont care anymore …(except… please let us spawn beside our random online teammates and not 10 miles awqay from them so we have to run 5 minutes to reach them !!! )
After playing nearly the whole story
I am glad I can skip some of this boring story with much too easy enemies untill reching Mayhem
…and finally the other side of the story
reaching Mayhem and maybe get other trouble with needing too many different builds to match with Mayhem de buffs and not enough inventory space
Bump. Same thing happened to me. Kept getting killed by beastie in FIRST vault, so quit to do the seasonal. When I came back I teamed up just to try to get into the seasonal event, and it started me 3 or 4 quests ahead of where I had been. Help please??
FYI I am getting the exact same issue. Was in the middle of “Beneath the Meridian” when I went to do the seasonal event. Now I can’t get back to where I was and I got skipped ahad to Hammerlocked when I jumped into co-op to try to get help with the seasonal…
