Where's the fun?

I played for a few hours on XBOne in co-op with a friend on an XBOneX with only one crash near the beginning of the session and no noticeable audio issues, though my friend alleged he was having some strange graphic glitches from time to time. Perhaps it’s a problem with one or more particular Mayhem modifiers?

I agree. I thought one of the premises of Mayhem 2.0 is that the modifiers are supposed to make it challenging and enjoyable. People are just rerolling their mods and trying to find the best ones that suite their VH and playstyle.

At the end of the day, they don’t offer any distinct challenge. Some players had found them easy, some annoying, some nonsense. There’s few who find it “fun” but some of these players are only talking about M4 to M6.

I’d been cruising M10 easily. My mule has already reached the 300 bank slots and will need an upgrade again.

If there’s anything I find enjoyable in previous M1.0 is I can do random Proving Grounds and flex with other random players. But nowadays that’s even impossible in Xbox because they are instead flexing against me their modded weapons. F*** modded weapons.

IMO throwing more anointed enemies at us with invulnerability phases is not fun.

nobody is forcing you to play M10 :wink:

tune it down to M6 and you’ll have a chance to drop the new weapons and less modifiers

i wasn’t a fan of them either, but you just have to find a combo that works for you.

also you don’t realy have to “regrind” everything… just increase mayhem 1 at a time and you’ll get the items anyway.

playing M4 was getting pretty stale for me… and the new mayhem mode is actualy kinda fun :smiley: (elemental imunity for example, it finaly forces me to use other weapons for a change)

In mayhem 10:
Melee damage: not scale
Chest loot: not scale
Action skill: not scale
Iron Bear damage: not scale
Fl4k pets: not scale
Vending machine items and guns: not scale
Story mission reward items and guns: not scale

I have only one question: Are you okay Gearbox?

There is no point to play M6 at least for me because I already find M10 to be easy enough and if you find the old M4 to be stale, I would say M10 is almost there in my opinion.

The update is awful.

It isn’t so much hard as just holding the trigger for longer and longer periods of time. The modifiers aren’t fun to play this just stupid by breaking basic game mechanisms. I don’t understand how they got here. I mean wasn’t the worst part of the old M1-3 the random stupid that you had to deal with? So they decided to double down on that and amp the bullet sponge of M4 up to 11?

One other comment, M6 is more annoying than M8 because you have to deal with more to these dumb modifiers. I don’t think the divisions of medium, hard or very hard reflec5 anything to do with the actual balance. Example M6 roll of Speed Demon, Floor is Lava, Mob Mentality, Drone Ranger is terrible going into the Joey Ultraviolet fight because the arena is small and there are a ton of obstacles so movement doesn’t help while at M8 is have Galaxy Brain and Buddy System which is a much easier fight.

I’ve played this game for more than 1500 hours. So i know what i’m saying.

This update, has been THE WORST UPDATE BY FAR. This update seems to have been done for streamers and youtubers. providing a big amount of content as well as new builds and new staff to do, but not for the rest. The idea of REFARMING GEAR every month is just unacceptable. It’s absolutely IMPOSIBLE to get the gear you want or need. It’s a matter of hours, but in the end, depends on luck. I’ve farmed the warden more than 30 hours and got no boom sickle, just to give you an example with rounds of less than a 1-2 minutes. So imagen the amount of rounds.

Now, what is not working? Apart from the fact that i understand that chests should not scale to MH10, the loot is dramatically wrong. i’ve killed Gigamind like 20 times, at least half of them he had an inmune buff to an elemental damage. specially broken is when they get inmunity to fire playing with moze. Are you kidding us Gearbox??

We got new anoints, but the older ones still exist, so it’s more difficult to get the good one. In 20 rounds in gigamind, I only got a low damage hellshock with the new 200% on active skill.

95% of all weapons are just useless right now for bosses, and at least 50% useless for mobing aswell. (MH10). Farming lower levels is just not worth. Why would you lose time farming lvl 8 gear? to then farm it again on lvl 10?? i even saw yesterday a Graveguard with inmunity to fire. save quit inmediatly. Is this “fun”??

if you are a main Amara well…you can do heavy amount of damage with some weapons. But with Fl4k (with low life sustain) or moze it takes hours to kill badass enemies, even if you have good gear.

The biggest issue for me, by far, is the loot. 3-10 legendaries anointed should be granted on every boss kill MH10. it’s not fair to farm a boss and get no legendary or anointed. Believe me, IT’S NOT FUN TO REFARM. If you get no good loot, your game will die fast. Solve this issue, and do it fast.

I dont know how everyone is handling M10 but it is impossible for me at the moment. i’am running Fl4k (I swith betwwen fade away and rack attack) and it takes me so long to get enemy down. I could easily cruise through M4 but this is completely different. What’s the point of being invisible if the laser keep following you, once i get to ffyl I have almost zero chances of surviving. I started the game this morning with 23 millions and I now have 6. I dont see myself farming mayhem 7 or 8 just so i can beat M10. I like to get the best weapon available but I am really losing iterest in all that. Notworth te time nor the effort at the moment

your weapons suck :wink:

try to get your hands on a O.P.Q system :wink: it will make your life a whole lot easier haha

I usually use a corrosive lob 100dmg ASE, krakatoa 100dmg ase, hellshock CH, and a fire or corrosive scourge 125% splash dmg. Maybe now it sucks, you tell me. I heard the OPQ is good but if I GET it while running M7 would it be useful for M10?

Why are you re-rolling modifiers then?

more viable then your old M4 weapons :wink:

each mayhem level should scale your weapon damage (highest when dropped in M10)

i suggest playing with the lootsplosion modifier :wink: increases your chance on dropping legendaries

just throw away your old weapons and start fresh :wink: you might find some new toys you overlooked before (or you could love the new weapons) the CoV AR is great too!

oh, and play on pandora/mansion as much as you can (increased drops on pandora and chance for new weapons in mansion -> i realy hope they will make it into the normal lootpool)

The way it’s working now, it would seem if you get it while playing M7, it can drop as M6 or M7. If you’re playing M10, it can drop as M6, M7, M8, M9 or M10. There is no indication on the card as to which version you get. You can try and guess based on the damage value.

Presumably it’s easier to obtain while playing M6 or M7. I’d say grab it there first and then see if it helps in higher levels if you want to grind for a higher level one.

Truthfully with +100% Cryo my old M4 are still out performing a lot of the non-anointed drops in M8 with Zane.

The problem is the foes are so dense that I chew ammo like it is going out of style. They should have upped the SDU for everything to handle the uneven scaling between health and damage.

Gearbox, this is MH10 loot from Graveward. Do you think this is what the community should expect ?¿?? Three rounds, 1 legendary not annointed. If you don’t solve this UNFAIR SITUATION in one week, i will say bye bye to this game.

why are you farming graveward?

getting the feeling you’re looking for a reason to not like the new patch :sweat_smile:

I have a feeling that event is what’s causing the crappy drops. (Outside the weekly areas)

I’m having a blast. The fun is in the game… I read above that some person was trying to run Giga while having an immunity modifier active - thats plain stupid, which I learnt today trying to attempt Ward with a Krakatoa while Charred modifier was active

Look at this roll, if this combination can’t be handled by grinders… I dunno what to say really… I have an idea but it violates community rules.
