Takedown Thoughts?

I love the boss designs and mechanics, and the map is awesome looking and polished.

I’m OK with the crystal charging element, it can get extremely hectic solo (harder than the bosses IMO) but it’s doable and I like the mechanics behind it.

Those drop rates though… I agree they need to be increased for all the time and effort put in to make it to the end (or even to the mid-boss.)

Also not a fan of the moving platform jumping, especially the ones near the end. True they’re not overly complicated jumps, but it’s still such a nail biter to come so far and face the possibility of throwing away so much work and effort on a flubbed jump.

M10 Guardian Take down is simply not worth playing in its current state. Even with top tier gear 1hr - 130hr if your perfectly equipped. Even finding a way to skip segments to get to the final boss to only be disappointed by a pathetic loot pool. And yes, skipping to the final boss is possible. It’s all over YouTube.

Another screw up on top of huge list of mistakes is really gonna make the player base go to Zero

So far… It’s crap. I have been trying to play the new take down but every friking flower/rock seems to get me stuck yet once again. Just came back to try it out but think I’ll wait until after Pitchford gets canned and a real manager steps in to enforce QA in the game.

Moxsy ran #racetowotan challenge this past week, and many people completed it in under 2 hours of actual playtime. Starting with 0 loot in your inventory, and then killing M10 wotan. This game takes knowledge to beat, and some skill.

if the game itself expect u to have god tier item to beat the takedown then its not ok , theres absolutely no way for a legitimate solo player obtain them. unless the player grind 12hours a day lol.

oh , its m10 takedown it suppose to be hard blah blah , think about it do u really need that much preparation for op10 digi peak ?

i guess it leave 2 choice for gbx , either make “god roll” more accessible or just nerf the entire thing

Haven’t played this game in 3 weeks, about to fire it up and see how bad everything is. :joy:

Not everyone can do what you and Moxsy do in the game… Not everyone has the luck in the RNG world (he just happened to get an annointed stage coach in his first vending machine)…

Gear a game towards top elite players and thTs all you will have left. Games need to be challenging with rewards meeting that challenge at the end. Considering the majority of problems with loot drops, gear balance and fan complaints in general… I don’t think the rewards match the challenge

Sure, moxsy got a good stagecoach in his first vending machine. His RNG was nice for his specific run. I completed M10 true takedown wotan with M0 backburners in under 2 hours of playtime. All im saying is for M10 to require ‘optimal gear’ as a complaint? You don’t need literal perfect rolls to complete this takedown. You need to think outside the box.

Do you see doom players complaining that nightmare mode is too hard? If you admit you can’t do what the top players can do, turn down the difficulty, or maybe spend longer farming. Or just trade already.

Gamma red fang strats are A+ for keeping guardians off the crystals. So is Zane’s clone, and actually so is auto bear. Rocketeer anyone?

M10 should be hard not frustrating because it’s not a polished add on. Also seep runs for the GUARDIAN TAKEDOWN just posted today. Simply to save the wasted time and disappointment of previously committed time dedicated to prep for what we all knew would be botched from the beginning. Knowledge and skill become useless if your playing a poorly pushed add-on to play something that needs correction on launch.

Correction *speed runs

Edit: nvm ppl.not even joking.

Heres how to beat it.

Spam ase anoints weapon, shield grenade. Gg

honestly it only because recursion is extremely broken with amara

*every vault hunter

Ugh speed run

Would be easier if I didn’t have to slam so much for ammo regen.

But with all the skips Amara should be fine speed running

Just messed with it, turned it off right at the beginning enemies. No way in hell I’m about to go through all my ammo killing regular mobs with my top gear. No thanks, not even interested in this anymore since I know that, as usual, completing this takedown isn’t even worth it.

Comparing doom to Borderlands is laughable and if you don’t know why then you need to “think outside the box”.

Thanks for the grand advice… Turn the difficulty down where the loot chances are even more trash… Oh or just farm longer… That’s all casual players with lives need to do… Farm longer… just quit their jobs, leave their families so they can farm longer in order to get gear to play a game they are supposed to be able to play just to enjoy the experience… That I need god tier loot for…

You might be good at Borderlands but you are awful at seeing things from another perspective…

I’m not comparing borderlands to doom. I am comparing mayhem 10 to nightmare mode. I understand your frustration but can you admit you are turning the difficulty all the way up? Also there’s no reason to actually farm past M8. M8 guarantees anointments just like M10 and dedicated drops actually don’t change no matter what mayhem level you play. And what about just trading?

Also how was your first Maliwan Takedown experience? I am guessing it was about 10x harder than you can currently do it. Personally it took me 3 full days of non stop playing to complete, with a 23 minute wotan kill. Those achievements are also on my youtube channel, and yes those were HUGE achievements in my eyes. Now I can kill wotan in 30 seconds and do the entire Maliwan Takedown in 5 minutes if I’m trying hard enough. This raid will become easier with time even if they didn’t lower the scaling, which they said they are already going to.

Heres my guide how to beat it.

Farm aggonizer 9k. Get a backburner.

He drops.only cosmetics. But sometimes a backburner or damned or emp5.

K now u have back burner. Get a ase version.

Get a ase shield.

Get a ase grenade

Get a catpurse lunchpod or catpurse rocketshoe.

Use ase. Shoot mobs. Mobs die.

U fall of edge u die

U repeat.

U die to crystal bullshiit

U eventually figure it out one day.

U blow up everything. U beat takedown

You look at vanquisher drop from boss.

You uninstall game for space for sekiro shadows die twice till next dlc.

Congratulations.
