The game has already taken way too many ques from a game that copied it. We don’t need BL to become a copy of a copy that copied it.
The fact that everything I farm now is probably going to be useless is definitely a factor in me putting the game down. I’ll probably come back when they’re near the release of their final planned DLC (because I bought the SD version thinking this game probably wouldn’t disappoint the hell out of me… cough).
Give the game some time to sort itself out. Go on a backpacking trip. See the sights. Do some soul searching. When the game is ready it’ll come back and hopefully be a much wiser and better game. Then again, it might just come back as a pompous douche with even more poop jokes, but, I mean, how much more like that could it possibly get?
Then make it require farming items to level them up, or switch parts by sacrificing guns, and have a high cost in eridium. It’ll maintain farming, take months just to finish a single loadout, make theory crafting weapons possible, and add another layer of dimension to character builds. And give more end game content.
I just want a way to actually have a chance to get the gun that I want. Yes, there is a chance, a one in a few billion chance to, if I don’t ever manage to pick up any single gun twice, which I already have.
I agree completely that borderlands needs to stay borderlands, but I’d like my gun to fit me, not to have to work around a gun, or have some false hope of finding that dream gun.
Hell, make the requirements as ridiculous as you want! People will still do it.
This isn’t so bad. The only way to have the players feel that they are making progress is to add new levels and new gear to look after. Gear and build obsolescence is the cost of getting to feel more powerful.
@Vladof-Guerilla I need to agree with @dannydoom333 BL is about farming gear. I have 1000+ (yep, one thousand) hours in BL 2, and 1/3 of the existing Legendary gears are still missing. In BL3 I have around 185 hours by now. I have almost 100 different types of Legendaries out of 180 that we know about. If you want a better weapon, go farm Eridium. With the quit-save method, I farmed 300 Eridium in 30 minutes. Crazy Earl has a vending machine, with all kind of anointed weapons, even character based anointed weapons, which basically upgrades your weapon. I read a post where you wanted the Grinder back from Pre-Sequel. No… please don’t… spending 4 million hours to find a recipe, with 99 million variations of guns to put in?.. no. Just no. The end game content could be more, yeah, but still you can hunt those Guardian Tokens. You still can make the challenges (not the Crew Challenges), still can go through the game in TVHM, etc.
I think I argued for a very updated version of the grinder, because i waisted too many good guns in that thing. And they could just make grinding a new weapon far easier than changing a part on it, that way if you do find that one gun you want, but wish it just had one part changed, you could. Would an extreme limit on parts be reasonable to you? I’ve suggested three in the past, but maybe just one? So it forces people to really think about it.
I think that event weapon should have a way to be level up at youre current level because they are time exclusive but other then that all other gear should just be refarmed.
