Borderlands 2 didn’t “last” 7 years for the general public, FYI.

This would be a steady stream of content to keep the game feeling fresh longer then just ~2 years.

#12

Didn’t last 7 years? Interesting, when each day on steam was ~20k people playing Borderlands 2…

#13

Seasons similar to Diablo 3 would be awesome for this game. For people who don’t like the idea, you could you know NOT play the seasonal mode and enjoy the normal modes you are already playing.

#14

Those are decent numbers for sure, but a season or league would bump those up significantly, and as I stated before, bring more streamers.

Is there a problem with making BL competitive? I really don’t think so. Diablo isn’t necessarily a “competitive” game, and seasons worked great there.

Most games with leagues AREN’T MMO’s.

It just seems to me you’re scared of something you don’t understand…

#15

Plus it wouldn’t be competitive in the PvP sense, it could simply be competitive in the sense that people would be trying to complete certain objectives as quickly as possible.

Meaning everyone can still get the same rewards by completing specific objectives, but at the same time they could have leaderboards so everyone could see where they stand.

If you don’t want to compete you don’t have to. You can skip seasons completely or you can make a new character and play however you want.

it sounds good in theory ill give it that but i also see it being monetized $$ into the ground by this as well if it was implemented… don’t get me wrong i like the idea but i also see how it could ruin borderlands for the loyal fans that have loved it for what it is as well.

I am one of the few that have played the BL series since day 1 release of BL1 and I would love seasons.

They could make unique cosmetics and charge whatever they want to make money and I am fine with that.

Seasons could bring a change of some sort for those that love to start fresh and refresh the game.

Those that dont like the seasons could just play the normal game. D3 does seasons perfectly IMHO. You could give rewards for specific achievements but like in D3 those rewards can still drop in game.

Seasons do not take away from the game, they just add a uniqueness to it.

#18

i see your point .but it would never be implemented that smoothly taking gearbox out of the picture do u think that take2 would just leave it as cosmetic only? same people that let u spend real to gamble fake in gta? its a great concept an i like it but i think that tk2 would get greedy an it would get ruined in my opinion that is. but ive been wrong b4 who knows.

#19

The only thing we can go off of is BL history and so far they have never gone p2w.

I dont see an issue with them continuing this trend.

#20

p2w wasn’t big when bl1 an 2 launched like it is now. when 80% of modern games have loot boxes an other greedy tactics for getting our $ could u really trust it to be fair an balanced. + it wouldn’t be gearboxes choice really…like i said i really like the idea just not how it could be exploited.

#21

BL3 doesnt have any p2w items to buy and gearbox has already stated they never will so I have no reason to doubt them. Their history shows they wont p2w.

#22

in the end its not up to them tho if 2k wants it there gonna get it. i know that there havent been any p2w mechanics in any prior bl games but games dint pull in the amount of $ back then that they do now days im fine with dlc like in previous games but bl wouldnt be bl if they put p2w stuff in it…but i am all for ur idea if it could be implemented without being exploited for mass profit…just saying.

#23

God please no season, it is in almost every online game now, I can’t see it anymore ^^

#24

Publisher doesnt control what is in the game like cosmetics or p2w items, just selling rights to whoever they want to deal with.

Seasonal items would be controlled 100% by gearbox not 2K

#25

gearbox would be the one to place it in the game but most if not the main majority of the funding comes from 2k who has invested there $ (i use that term loosely) if the investor wants it there kinda obligated to do it to an extent…even more so if there are private investors involved…but between dlc an all the other stuff they doing if they did impliment any of this it would be after i think but who knows im just spit ballin with u.

#26

lol seasons

#27

Not even remotely similar to the seasons I am referring to =)

#28

lmao seasons none the less. even themed for holidays.

#29

Considering you’re asking for stuff like raid bosses, new mechanics, etc., I think it makes more sense to implement them as permanent DLC instead of temporary “seasons” where the stuff all disappears afterward.

The Mayhem Mode modifiers can probably be tweaked to generate daily/weekly challenges, like “Kill 500 enemies with melee; Enemies move 300% faster”, “Clear [Named Area] without killing any Tinks; Enemies now throw Tinks instead of grenades”, or whatever. The rewards could be Skins or a Purple Annointed item from your choice of manufacturer, guaranteed to benefit the Class you used, with a chance of being a Legendary.

I tried the D3 seasons, the challenges are uninteresting. D3 and BL3 are very different games though, so maybe BL3 can generate more interesting challenges than speedruns or more goddamn grinding.

#30

what about this?
