You don’t, and aren’t able to speak for me or others on this or any forum.

I didn’t sign up for anything, I paid money for a fun looter shooter and got that.

There’s issues with this game, which is what we’re discussing here with OP saying they’ve had enough for now. Let’s not put words or opinions in other people’s mouths.

You want control over drops man, you don’t get control. Thats the game

We certainly don’t have an abundance of control right now, but Gearbox has already taken steps to improve that.

I can only guess if they’ll take further steps, but I definitely don’t want them to just leave loot as it is because it’s just the nature of the game.

They can always improve and reconfigure things to make the game more enjoyable.

There is definitely some loot issue that need to work out. That all I’ll say about that. Sometimes I want to do some “lab testing” and trying things out against the dummy to see how my build stands

The loot pools don’t work that way. Take any named boss. It will have it’s boss-tier loot table, which include some number of rolls for drops from the world loot pool and - independently - a roll to see if you get a drop from the designated drop loot pool. Designated drops and world drops are separate entries within the table; getting a world drop legendary does not change your chance of getting a designated drop item, and vice versa.

It’s a game it doesn’t have to be “harsh” it could be fun and rewarding instead. In my opinion it should lean more that way.

Look at ION Cannons. It’s a 100% drop chance. Every time you kill the boss it drops an ION Cannon. Every. Single. Time. It’s rewarding and fun to farm because you always get sniff of the carrot.

Yet I still spent (literal) 40 hours of gametime farming it, going for a specific anoint for a build I wanted to make for M4 (130% clone swap), I needed a set (normal,shock,corrosive) for the build I had in mind to work. I finally got that set, after 40 hours of solid farming this boss (again literal game time). They still weren’t “god rolls” that meaning, not the best damage rolls, not the ideal mag sizes for regen rates (both of which wildly vary). So I still have many more hours I could put in to perfect that one single build based around 1 single action skill on 1 single character. Well I also made a Moze ION build so you get the point.

Even with 100% drop rate on the dedicated drop , which felt fun and rewarding and encouraging to keep farming, still takes many many many game hours to get what you are after.

Now compare that to a rare spawn, that has like a 40% chance for the boss to even spawn, and then you got a 3% chance for the item to even drop, before all the variables. And you have a very unfun non-rewarding, tedious grind. This is why people complain.

Compare to an even worse situation. Where you have something like the Trial of Cunning or Trial of Instinct for a class mod that has 10,000 variations and you need a certain passive or skill combo and it’s a very hard trial in the first place then this COM has a 3% drop chance an you have conditions where people want to quit playing the game.

I’m not even going into the Raid loot which is abysmal.

Eh what can be said, one player pumps 100 hours into farming and never gets the item, another player gets it first go… And sells it to Marcus because they don’t know any better

sits back knowing the chance is there for a first run first served but all these guys never got lucky

Lol, I found a normal 22k digi clone swap Ion with a 7 round magazine as my first drop, while playing Moze.

Too bad I cannot send it to you… Is the constructor boss the one with the dedicated drop chance? that is where I found it from.

Actually I have no idea if those stats are good on it or not.

The damage roll is good if it’s a x2, the magazine roll is one of the lowest possible. I think the lowest is 6 and the highest 20 or 22.

#113

You can get a dual shot one of those?! holy s*** Just that base one I found allowed me to get second winds and I am not even built properly for gun use.

#114

Yeah the highest roll is 22-23k x 2 . And x2 for the ION cannon doesn’t lower base damage like most other guns. It’s just objectively stronger.

It comes from that white tower constructor boss right?

I did not realize that is a guaranteed drop. I just found it and am like “What is this? a new DLC gun?” I then test it and was like :heart_eyes:

Maybe unless you are doing dedicated items and need a certain annointment then its impossible. Thats what I need and cant get and the dedicated loot was supposed to make the grind better not worse. Here is the latest example and I do believe, based on my few friends who used to play BL3 that its a core reason they stopped playing. I want to get some Malawan items plain and anointed but its near impossible currently.

Results 200 kills = 4 anointed dedicated items. Not a specific anointment.

Pretending if it true and coming out on February from a video I seen I’m going still play this game only because I’m roughing it out the best I can with the bad loot system. Regardless I won’t buy any of it. The game gotten too much shame from me and pre-ordering makes me not wanna purchase any game even if it look good ever again till months after.

For now I’m going wait and hope game get fix up with glaring issues

Seems a little premature, no battle pass exists until Gearbox says there is one.
