When 1 tapping bosses there’s something wrong 
Though pretty common in BL3
Completely agree. Which is why I don’t find his evidence compelling. He could beat a raid boss on the hardest difficulty in less than a week. Him struggling but still achieving doesn’t indicate balance is off to me, just that the hardest difficulty is hard.
if a streamer is having trouble, your average TTW player is going to struggle. IMHO, chaos levels (aka mayhem in B3 speak) is a lazy device.

Yeah they probably will. It is the highest difficulty after all. It’s also a 50 tiered difficulty spectrum. People can hang out at 35 if that’s where the comfort is. They can play balanced rather than intense.
Whether it lazy or not isn’t really the discussion here. It’s if it’s balanced. At best, I’d say it’s too early to know. What worked at 35 might need tweaking to work at 50, and most of us haven’t had the time for much of that yet.
Dryll is a pain. And a good example of the balancing being way off.
I too had a time taking him down on chaos level 30. Had to use the “glutteny” pistol to get him to even crack on his health bar.
I’m glad you brought him up in the conversation. A good point.

That was point on why i posted the video to begin with. If the youtuber is having trouble the average player will have a heck of a time also.
Chaos 50 shouldn’t have been implemented. 35 was more then enough. Most players are below that number or not even reaching 50 at all. Makes for more work on GB’s end if they do anything at all to remedy this situation. Which we probably won’t see a fix anytime soon by there standards.

I un-installed the game after the first “DLC” dropped… not sure if I will ever go back

This game is just super boring after a playthrough and a few chaos chamber runs, I even tried to repeat the DLCs but it just wasnt worth it. I put a TON of hours into BL3 and even with that I went back and started a fresh level 1 gamma burst Flak and its better than this mess. Playing through BL3 fresh without mayhem is much better bc all of the legendaries can do good work

This game just lack of endgame. After you hit C50, then what??? Gearbox could introduce crap tons of loots but to what end??? More Chaos??? Or maybe different kind of Chaos (DLCs)??? And what is the purpose of having another class for DLC4??? Build crafting is great but your wonderful build has no contents to play with. Yeah right, more Chaos.

Just get rid of Dyrll or give me one damage option every time I clear an encounter. Had to do endbosses many time with 2k crystals in hand because all I was getting was speed and ward delay >.>.
I completed my first playthrough of Wonderlands last night after buying it on Steam. I had fun with the main campaign and took my time being a completionist throughout all the maps but I’m not feeling any incentive whatsoever to grind the Chaos Chamber for extra levels, and knowing there’s no proper raid boss or anything else besides the philosophy of ‘let’s recreate one or two of the worst aspects of OP levels/Mayhem mode and make it five times more grindy because we’re out of original ideas and make a habit out of refusing to learn from past mistakes’ is why for now, I might just play one or two playthroughs as other characters or occasionally go back to BL2 & 3 instead.
The lack of a raid boss part really surprises me because that was a major complaint from players when BL3 came out, also suffering from lack of endgame content in its infancy. Well BL2 also had little in the way of endgame except once you beat the main story, the one and only sidequest for endgame content was Terramorphous which was enough to see us through until the first DLC, which gave us two more raid bosses. And yes, Hemovorous was teased before BL3 was released so the intention was there but with Wonderlands, it’s like GBX intentionally made no effort at all.

Do Bunnidhogg, Gloopathoth, Barkenstein and the Maker not count as raid bosses?

At launch the game was pretty awesome. Right now it is painfully lacking content. The mirrors are a sad shell of DLC compared to those in the past.

I’d count them, they’re huge fights unlike anything else in base game. Just no invincible in the name.
It’s a shame Wonderlands doesn’t have more endgame activities. It puts a spotlight on how less replayable the games have gotten with each entry.

Plus no katana??? one of the best swords ever crafted. How did they forget that??

Hopefully BL4/WL2 iterates on this and makes melee more exciting than just pressing single attacks. I can definitely see elemental Maliwan katanas in the future.
