Based on an accidental leak from Microsoft, this game is rumored to support cross-platform co-op as an online mulitplayer feature.

Might not include console cross-platform support considering Sony's current stance towards it.

This is nothing to do with Boarderland.

But I loved Everquest. I was addicted to it and a year ago or so I go back into it because they launched the progression servers that started you from day one. And it was amazing. And there were no huge paywalls. Ya you can buy xp pots and little shit like that, but ultimately there were no major paywalls. It was fantastic.

Games these days have lost track of that. These companies are wanting to make billions off of us. It's no longer creating the best game, its creating the game that extracts the money from our pockets.

I cant stand it. And i'm not sure i'll play Boarderlands 3 despite 2 being one of my favorite games of all time.

In case any interested parties haven't heard, it releases September 13th. Also, for those on PC, I hate to break some possibly deal-breaking news, but it will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for 6 months until April 2020. Do with that information as you will.

No sense getting upset until we actually know what their marketplace looks like.

Microtransactions aren't inherently bad. They've got a bad name because too many companies have abused them, by either offering pay to win content or providing a game thats very lacking in content while selling additional stuff in it's store.

DAMN iNATOR
04-04-2019, 01:36 AM
Some of the "special" editions do seem a bit pay to win, which I'd honestly be fine with, except that 2K and Gearbox have been saying for a while now and in no uncertain terms that BL3 would not feature microtransactions.

My first main will be Moze, then Amara, and I'll get around to the other 2 when I have the time.

I've always been one of those players of the BL games that I couldn't just play and stick with only being one of the 4 (in the first game) to 6 vault hunters, I have to experience them all. To me personally, only ever playing one character per game is kind of like walking into a Baskin Robbins and getting vanilla every time even though there's 30 other flavors. It would get too boring after a while.

Who's your character anyway? I'm Moze. Maybe Iron Bear deals more damage than I thought.

As for the one you mentioned, I just hid where he couldn't hit me, and once his armor was down I easily whittled away both his shield bars with a pistol -- a fucking PISTOL LOLOLOL

Sepholio
09-26-2019, 02:51 AM
FL4K, but not the popular build. I hid in the exact same spot you did and whittled him down with elemental pistols as well but that spot is kind of cheese and is indicative of why I said he's hard af. That spot shouldn't realistically be there. Regardless, if you venture out of cover against him it's insane. You can not ever stop moving and must keep eyes on him at all times no matter what and you have to be aware of the few spots you can use as cover from some of the moves you can't escape via running.

He's much easier with appropriate weapons though. A high fire rate smg/machine gun with corrosive and one with electrical damage. Keep running and burn through his armor with the corrosive gun, switch to electric and burn through the rest. If you have a big damage boost skill it can go FAST. Fade Away FL4K will melt him; unfortunately as I said I didn't use the popular build lol.

09-26-2019, 02:55 AM
As for the boss you originally mentioned all you have to do is watch the patterns on the floor and stay in the right spots, jumping around as much as possible. If you can keep off the spots he electrifies the rest of his attacks are trivial.

On another topic, I got a legendary shield drop earlier that made me die laughing. As far as I can tell it is a replica of Typhon's shield that mentions that he approves of it. Yes. I have a synthetic Vercuvian Ham.

Apparently as part of the patch that nerfed overall loot drops, quests and mission bosses that are designed to drop a specific item are now guaranteed to drop their specific item. At least that's my understanding.

You're not the only one, although my main reasons are the compulsive need to explore every pixel of every map, doing all side missions as soon as they become available, being without a working controller for about a week and a half, and being out of town since yesterday morning and not returning home until tomorrow late afternoon/early evening.

I have made what I believe to be pretty solid progress though, as I'm presently in the return to Pandora part of the story.

omg overlevelling makes some of the later bosses straight bastards unless you get lucky af on your weapon drops.

Oh I know that, but that's the one that rests on my and I'm sure a lot of people's minds. Wanted to know if she's properly gone so that if so, I could mourn her loss and felt kinda deprived of that.

Also, I'm like one non-weapon slot away from having the idiotically named "On Fleek" trophy. Plus, it seems that dark orange rarity is back, as I got a weapon from the chest on Sanctuary that definitely had a dark orange background around it.

Also, just trying to clarify, is anointed stuff weapons that drop or spawn with an light surrounding the color beam and/or does anointed stuff have anything to do with the Cult of the Vault symbol on the top middle of the stat cards?

Yes, the vault symbol in the bar above the weapon name denotes it is an anointed weapon as far as I can tell. Not sure if the light beams on drops change or not for them though as I haven't really paid attention.

Just having some fun with the Guardian Rank XP exploit which involves dashboarding out of the game and reloading it immediately thereafter. If the maps appear out of order, that means it's working and you get like 6x normal XP.

So, because I've been trying to get Warden's legendary Freeman rocket launcher to drop, I paid him another visit and got a freaking QUADRUPLE legendary drop. Guess it's bound to happen every now and again when you go from your previous game only having like 17M weapons/gear/etc. to over 1B, but still...LOL

Figured Lilith was gonna go at the end. Friend body count was too low with only Maya just getting killed off. Also, unless they do something in DLC, they totally dropped the ball with Marcus and GenIVIV. I figured that would have gone somewhere.

Also, while trying to keep Amara moving through the main story last night, was playing through the mission Blood Drive and had to completely quit and restart the game because of what I assume was a bug where you turn a valve to make steam come out of some pipes beneath a grate which is supposed to carry you up to the next area but which wasn't doing so despite my activating the valve.

A couple of welcome hotfixes as recently the drop rate of terror anointed gear was significantly nerfed and regular anointed drops were buffed, as well as the fact that normal ghosts will now drop 2 hecktoplasm and badass ghosts will now drop 3 per kill.

On a final note, they've also made a visual change so that when a launcher wielding enemy fires at you, it no longer pollutes most of the screen and makes it nearly impossible to target enemies.

I know Handsome Jack is one of the best bad buys in gaming. But he's dead and gone. Gearbox needs to stop making him relevant and move on from him.

Agreed. But NOOOOOOOO, Timothy just had to escape, and you know they'll probably do something with that if there's a Borderlands 4.

All-new Edition of The Borderlands Show goes live tomorrow morning, February 11th @ 8AM PST/11AM EST that is expected to potentially reveal or partially reveal the new DLC set to release in March, as well as quite possibly some news on a future level cap increase.

The new, HUGE update, along with the weekly hotpatches, is finally here, and it is fucking glorious!


PATCH NOTES

BROKEN HEARTS DAY EVENT

Maurice, your sentient Saurian shipmate on Sanctuary III, is continuing his study of humanity’s customs, and has taken an interest in our strange courting rituals. To help him understand the emotional rollercoaster that is Broken Hearts Day, you’ll need to blast the floating hearts that are popping up over baddies’ heads all over the galaxy. Maurice will reward you with sweet Broken Hearts Day loot for your trouble, including two level 53 weapons: Terminal Polyaimorous and Wedding Invitation!

EVENT TOGGLE

For the Vault Hunter who already has everything, or prefers their gameplay to be more straightforward, you can now disable the Broken Hearts Day Event in the main menu. This highly requested feature will be included for all future seasonal events as well.

SKIPPABLE CUTSCENES

With this patch, you can now skip all cutscenes in the game, whether you’ve seen the cutscene before or not, during solo play or by the host of your party during multiplayer! Simply press any key during the scene and you’ll be prompted to confirm the skip.

LEVEL CAP INCREASED TO 53

The level cap has been increased to 53, providing everyone with 3 more skill points to aim for! We are looking forward to seeing what interesting combinations the community finds with their additional skills and will have more to talk about in the future concerning level cap increases and character growth.

TRUE TAKEDOWN MODE

We’re introducing True Takedown Mode to the Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite. As of this patch, there will be a way to re-enable the original version of the Takedown scaled to 4 players. Future Takedowns will also launch with both modes enabled.

The default setting keeps the Takedown scaled depending on how many people are in your party. To turn back on 4-player scaling, toggle the new switch to the right of the Takedown door.

GUARDIAN RANKS

You are now able to turn off individual Guardian Ranks or the whole system! If there are any perks that aren’t playing nice with your builds, you can now disable them! Furthermore, for those who want to enjoy a vanilla leveling experience, you have the ability to disable the entire system. This includes both stat bonuses and all perks.

When the patch goes live, the Guardian Rank system will be turned off by default, giving you a great opportunity to look through your perks to see if there’s anything new you want to try! Note: while the Guardian Rank system is turned off, you will not be able to gain ranks.

As always, you're required to wait a few seconds at the main menu until the "HOTFIXES APPLIED!" sign appears in the background behind your vault hunter before you loaf the game for the new changes to take effect.

Platinum'd this last night...……...finally.

Buddy and I did the last couple Circles of Slaughter and we got our 100 hearts in minutes.

I still need the target range trophy to plat the vanilla game, and the Debt Collector trophy from the DLC to hit 100%. I swear, I don't know how many times I've loaded in to the area of The Spendopticon where he has a chance to spawn and yet he never has. I've tried literally dozens of times consecutively and nothing. No idea what the issue could be as I've completed the side quest.

My buddy had the same issue with the Debt Collector. Just keep reloading and keep your fingers crossed.

As for the firing range, grab a buddy and tag team it or go looking for the infinity pistol. Loot tinks got 'em, but you gotta go offline for them now, I think.

Yeah, I have a couple characters with Infinity pistols, but I'm either too slow or the targets are too damn fast (probably the former, lol).

And the Debt Collector advice? Yeah, one time, right after the DLC had dropped and I'd finished the side quest, I went back at my earliest convenience and I must've tried getting him to spawn at least 50 times. And that's despite people saying that for them (the ones who aren't super lucky and get him in like 5 or less tries), he usually spawns shortly after 20-ish reloads. Guess I'll just have to keep at it until he decides my peasant ass is worthy enough to be graced by his presence again.

Well, that or they could increase his spawn rate by 5-10%.

Finished Guns, Love, & Tentacles this morning.

Good and bad. Good that it was a really good story and Mancubus was cool. But bad. Because you really don't see the super monster.

Also, whoever's genius idea at Gearbox was to have EVERY ENEMY BE A WALKING BOMB needs to be fired. Huge pain in the ass.

That Deathtrap trophy/achievement is stupid. Got it. But, stupid.

Apparently mapping the entire human genome just wasn't enough for science, so a group of researchers has decided to collaborate with Gearbox by adding a special arcade cabinet to Borderlands 3 with a Tetris like game on it designed to help common people assist with the Human Gut Genome.

The rewards seem kinda MEH as they're only offering skins and heads. Doesn't seem like much of an incentive.

So with the latest major patch (even needed to let an update apply first), the level cap has been raised to 72, numerous optimizations have been made, for 1 week, ALL trials maps are true trials, along with the loot that the big bad at the end of all of them drops, BUT...best of all, players can now cross-play, except for PS4/PS5 owners (thanks, Sony...) and all the once seasonal events can now be toggled on or off at the main menu before loading the game. No more long waits for an on level OPQ System or Ghast Call!
