The vladof Skins were dope

I recall the Torgue ones were pretty good. But there were 3 for each brand, of different rarities, and the rarer ones were better.

The gameplay video from today showed that the customizer let you straight up select your two colors. I think some of the colors do need to be unlocked but it ain't as silly as previous.

Welp, you can get legendaries from golden chests now.

EDIT: This, plus Earl's Shop and the fact that upgrades cost money instead of Eridium now makes me think they're definitely going to have microtransactions for Golden keys and Eridium in BL3.

Of all the new stuff shown this week, i surprisingly excited the most about a little quality of life improvement - the ability to change active quest in game with a single button push .

Considering how big the average BL map is , and how many different side quest you usually have going , It can save so much time and tedium .

Sooo, Moze looks great, but I wonder if the mech will conflict with my enjoyment of guns and loot... Is she the character for people who don't want to struggle with RNG gun loot or am I mistaken?

If I was to guess, Iron Bear will be more support or an Oh poo poo button unless you spec into mech. Both options look extremely fun.

I'm pretty certain Moze will be the new Sal with almost-all-the-time-mech replacing almost-all-the-time gunzerking.

That isn't going to be nearly as good since Moze's mech doesn't scale with your guns.

The raid bosses have been A Thing, there's no way they don't have at least one.

I just don't see why in a game that's eager to take so many cues from Diablo that they don't just copy the rift system. Diablo 3 didn't need huge ridiculous bosses it just needed good fundamental gameplay and a reason to keep doing it.

Here's a short info where they talk a little about endgame. No story spoilers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJemApKPQ00

The TL;DR is

quote:

Floated around the idea of a GRifting system, similar to Diablo. They didn't explicitly say that there will be a mode that designated for just mobbing, but they hinted at the idea of "I'm at end game, and I don't want to repeat missions. I just wanna kill stuff and loot" being incorporated somehow. They want something repeatable and with light context (not story driven). Freedom to play at your best, basically. He said he doesn't wanna compare it directly to GRifting, but it's in the same mindset. More will be revealed at GamesCom. :/

They're very aware of the formulas that other games in the genre have emulated; Destiny, Division, Anthem, etc, and they don't exactly want to mold themselves to those games in regards to end game.

Raids aren't a thing in the conventional sense like Destiny raids. While it wasn't spoken, this is likely to prevent a single mission being the thing you HAVE to grind to get the best loot. Borderlands predicates itself on being able to get end-game loot anywhere, not a single location. Could be wrong, though.

New game plus is 'definitely a thing'. (It's a staple. It's gonna be there).

Repeatable missions are still a thing. Likely not story stuff though. Bosses are re-runnable, but some restrictions may apply.

Hopping into a random lobby that's running a story mission you haven't reached yet, you'll be provided the option to skip that mission in your own playthrough once you reach it, similar to previous games.

There ARE ways to level up to 50 after the main story ends and you don't want to play it again. (Referring to the potential GRifting mechanic).

Large Expansion Content is still gonna be a staple. Quality of Tiny Tina's Assault, even larger, for the same price point. Significant quality for the price.

Free content will be a thing (likely referring to the Golden Keys, possibly other stuff like community event skins, etc).

Bosses still aren't going to be too mechanically difficult (ish). Borderlands bosses generally have had appeal do to their presentation. Bosses have always been fun. While there may be more mechanics, it's still likely going to be of the same volition as previous games. (Basically, no crazy mid fight puzzles; allign the stars when the boss is exactly 3 feet off the ground and your mag is half empty, etc).

All bosses have been given mechanics for solo play and team play. Aggro management is an example of something that'll be present in team play as opposed to solo.

Unrelated, but pretty cool: Anytime you enter an area, if your friends happens to be in the same area, you'll be given a button prompt IN-GAME to join their instance. They're looking to separate you from the menu as much as possible.

Optimism: cautious.

For real, I've been feeling better about this game since the skill trees were released, and I really like what I'm hearing now.

Still not gonna pre order it but I might but it on Epic instead of waiting for steam.

Been playing through BL2 since I never did the DLCs. Kreig is fun, Torgue is a drat treasure, and apparently Handsome Collection can't connect to Shift for using codes.

Shame, shame, drat shame.

I got 200+ keys just like, last week. Shift works fine.

Personally I�m right there myself. All the footage coming out makes it look like the gunplay�s gonna be really fun, and it�s nice to see a totally new set of weapons (compared to TPS� sort of new pool).

I've been playing BL1 over the weekend. I'm pretty sure Lilith is still my absolute favourite vault hunter to play as.

I got lucky with drops from just regular dudes, and got a hellfire shortly before rakk hive and now everything is on fire all the time and it owns. :black101:

Shift codes kind of break the looteconomy. If your best weapons are from shift keys, you will probably need to use more shift codes to find a improvement instead of playing a videogame.

Did a little digging because the PS YouTube channel had me worried, and BL3 is going to have a framerate/resolution toggle on the Pro! :toot:

Not sure if that came up before but I'm happy to find that out, definitely. Playing BL1/2/TPS at a solid 60fps has gotten me spoiled.
