Your post scared me but after about 15-20 attempts I got one to drop. Pretty crazy how rare it seems to be. You ever get one?

Borderlands 3 |OT| The Three-Sequel!!

Hilariously I got it the next run after I posted. I still need more distributors in different elements though
I think that's bugged. My map screen is constantly being repopulated with those exclamation points despite having beat the main game and all side quests.
Cool, what I figured. But given the area name, figured there was a chance for something secret still hidden.
Ugh, trying the raid for the first time, not the greatest experience. What's with the long wait times if you die? Early on in the raid i walked off the ledge accidentally (lol) and just sat there till they cleared a ton of shit... Then i get back in, someone else dies and quits. Had others join in but they just sit there waiting it seems so they quit. Seems like a pretty terrible setup for matchmaking.
Maybe? For what it's worth i was doing matchmaking for raid/proving grounds lastnight at max level / mayhem 4 and finding people at a decent rate (xbox btw)
Bah, I won't be able to play until next week, but I'll hit you up then. Finally got the dumb target practice achievement, leaving me with only having to win a duel and finish off all the side quests. Ughhhhhhh, so close.
Tried slaughterhouse for the first time lastnight. That shit is quite the grind it seems. Granted, matchmaking only found me one other person so probably why it felt so damn long. But by end of round 2 i was pretty much ready for it to be over. Worst part was i didn't even get to finish it. As we were closing in on the end of round 4 my game froze.
Takedown is more fun, i'd just rather spend time in that i think.

Yeah jack was well done , i took a break from the game going to comeback when they raise the level cap
Maliwan Takedown was designed around not letting you just endlessly respawn.
The only time the game let's you hop back in after dying is after the mid boss fight, or if your entire team wipes.
That's it.
Finally got around to finishing the game and i can say its my biggest disappointment of 2019.
Other than the superb gunplay, everything else was just average! Writing was terrible this time round as well.
Borderlands still is my preferred game of the 3 closely followed by Borderlands 2. Borderlands 3 is so far off the 2 previous games that it hurts.

Matchmaking is still a huge problem here, I don't get it why they still didn't solve
They should just have a server browser in addition to it since matchmaking is clearly whack
Came back to this game to see the new stuff, just wanted to know : is matchmaking a viable option to play the new raid? I have zero issues being matched witch randoms for proving grounds or circles of slaughters, but last night I tried matchmaking for the raid and still wasn't matched after 5 minutes, it's almost instant for the other modes.

Wat? They added a new Mayhem level? Maybe that's why I'm not matched for the raid, I'm still playing in Mayhem 3, didn't know there was a new one :)
Could be. I've been doing mayhem 4 matchmaking for takedown almost once a day now for the last week and it seems to find people reasonably quick. Sometimes I did have to wait a few min though.
Also stupid question, i never did playthrough again via TVHM. I've just been doing everything on mayhem 4 on normal mode. Can i enter TVHM in mayhem 4 as well? and if so, does it not only increase the difficulty further but also increase loot chances? Wasn't clear on how that mode actually worked / affected gameplay.
You have to get to Sanctuary to turn on Mayhem in TVHM, but essentially, yes.
Unless they changed it with a patch, you have to beat the campaign on TVHM to be able to play Mayhem on that mode. But yes, the best loot drops/rates are in TVHM on Mayhem 4.
I need to get back to this as I haven't touched the raid, the DLC or Mayhem 4 despite having the ultimate edition. My main buddy I play it with is traveling for a couple of months though so I may just wait until they're able to play again.
They fixed that a while back. You can enable it as soon as you get to Sanctuary in TVHM. And if you reset TVHM mission progress after turning on mayhem, mayhem will remain enabled from the start.
Good to know. I played a ton at launch and just blew through the campaign on TVHM to enable it and play with my friends. Still need to finish up sidequests on TVHM.
A funny post, the more things change the more they stay the same
The gameplay loop/endgame has so far eclipsed BL2 already it isn't close.
I'm still pining for a circle of slaughter and proving ground for DLC 1 along with having more for the additional story DLCs but yeah.
BL2 is great and all and I can definitely see someone preferring it if they just play the quests to max level then quit but as an ongoing loot game that people go back to play BL3 is the clear winner🤷♂️
They patched it so that you can play in mayhem mode while doing ng+ in tvhm. And yeah loot chances are higher that way.
Also thankq for your answer gonna try mayhem 4 for matchmaking takedowns and see
Lool, i love bl3 a least we got the one thing i wanted more bank space lol,damn maliwan takedown is not joke tought got kill in the beginning fast
Oh I agree, months later and just killing shit is immensely satisfying. I just posted it because some people used BL2 as a prime example even tho it took years for it to hit that point.
Hoping they make a team whose entire job is to pump out arenas. Also, hope they change how stuff like slaughtershaft works. So you can actually leave the game without restarting (like how it works in BL2)
Me and my partner can get to the third phase of Wotan on Normal. So close, just need a few more chunks of gear

Farming frenzy starting tomorrow until the end of the month
Good going back to bl3 tomorow, need to beat maliwan takedown
Ooo shit just started a new play with zane nice, moze too going to be cool with iron bear
Ah, the Ion Cannon gets the good ol' double-nerf. Can't just whack it once and see where it comes up.
Yep massive nerf but to be fair it was very OP at only 1-2 ammo per shot
This. It's my most disappointing purchase of 2019 because I play these games exclusively in co-op, but:
- They never mentioned Server Browser being removed, and matchmaking rarely gets me in with more than one person. The first two games had it...
- When you do matchmake and spawn in the game, they put you AT THE BEGINNING of the map, regardless of where your teammates are. Mobs have usually respawned and it becomes SUPER un-fun catching up to your team while dying to enemies that may not be scaled to your level to handle alone. No fast travel to teammates, or at least getting close to their last location?
- Where is crossplay? This was hinted at when it was announced but then nothing.
Have they considered, I dunno, making all other Rocket launchers more powerful?
How about only doubling the ammo use since there's such a small ammo pool?
Also if you have all-rounder as your shield augment it should just proc around Zane when you use the skill
I love Zane but I hate having to pick up his shield each and every time I deploy it
Yeah, I have one that does something like 22,000x2 damage, was ridiculous
Graveward is still my main farming source as I can kill him in like 30 seconds on Mayhem 4 with Fl4k, but legendary drops are still not as high as I think they should be. There's been numerous runs where I've only gotten 1 or 2 to drop, and sometimes I've had none drop. I feel like that should not be happening on Mayhem 4.
As for this hotfix, I'm definitely seeing more anointed, but leg. drops are virtually the same.
