I know at some point they announced a limited time event where the Maliwan Takedown would be scaled for people who want to do it solo or with less than 4 people. Anyone remember the date on that?

Today through the 16th.

But the entire goal of Borderlands 3 is to aggravate players as much as possible by using time as a weapon.

Oh, you were really enjoying shooting dudes in the head with your new gun? Now you gotta wait while Lorelei monologues! She's done and you finally got a new mission marker!

Psych! It's just her again and you have to go to her and hit "E"!

Now you have to generate a new vehicle, but not until she finishes.

Ok! Now you have to engage with a Boerderlands driving system! Having fun yet? Well, you managed it without hitting Alt+F4. Congrats.

She's done talking again. This door is about to open. 3... 2... 1... OPEN!

Now listen to her talk some more, then... Go back and hit "E" on her! Oh? You ran ahead knowing there's a battle up ahead because this is your second playthrough? You dumb piece of poo poo! Everyone knows that for some reason you have to hit "E" on her again to be able to progress!

And there's always more doors...

That mission with Ice T is just opening doors. That is literally all it is. Gearbox are taking the piss.

Return to Sanctuary.

Talk to Lilith.

Hi.
It seems possible to me that they started with the idea that there are multiple vaults. Then they probably played around with what they looked like or which characters they’d put on each. THEN they sloppily figured out how to tie it all together.

The BL2 story is much more coherent and well told.

I like that when you shoot him in the crotch, instead of "CRITICAL" is says "DICKED". Stay class BL3.

I liked learning that i have not fundamentally matured since the time of borderlands 2, because I was sensibly chuckling all the way through the killavolt quest and battle.

They could divided up the Going Rogue quest into like 2 or 3 separate ones with how long it goes on for.

Also Lilith is the biggest reason why so much poo poo goes down. They should have just shoved her in her cabin and locked the door. Next to useless.

That's nothing new. Borderlands 2's story is entirely that. Only reason why Handsome Jack managed anything is because the heroes are all idiots.

If you have a friend playing it, add your new char to their game and surf SA or whatever. I got my Amara up to level 35 by just leaving them in an active game for a couple days. No money of course, but who cares.

I've never hated Claptrap as much as I did when he hosed the ship to add a slow ship exploration quest instead of just letting me figure stuff out. I wish he'd been sucked out to space.

If you think this is harsh you can go take a look at /r/borderlands, a hub of joyless minmaxers perpetually soiling themselves over every real or perceived fault in the game yet continuing to sink hundreds of hours into it

The lack of an Adventure Mode for TVHM is some bullshit in 2019, though. also at this point I would pay like $5-$10 for VR-0N1CA to never speak again.

RIP. Well, I see a ton of mods drop from the Moxxi DLC and the Maliwan Takedown, usually for the class I'm playing.... I'd suggest playing through those on Moze. The Moxxi DLC in particular is easily soloable. You can always farm Graveward but I find that boring. Or maybe there's another goon in here with a bloodletter that plays on Xbox!

Yeah I’ve already soloed the Moxxi DLC and... attempted the takedown; I was hoping to run it today but the rescaling got pushed back. Ah well, I have three other characters to play with :)

Bloodletter is supposedly dropped by the Skag of Survival too, though I have yet to get it from him.

Fun fact: you can one shot the Skag of Survival with a Flakker it knocks him out of the arena. However, he won't drop anything if you do that. I learned that one today.

The good news is that the Moxxi DLC is better than anything in the base game so we're in for a treat if they can keep making content of that quality. Even on BL2 I was burnt out for awhile until the Dungeons and Dragons DLC breathed new life into it for me.

I complained here yesterday and found one.

Then I got a shock ion cannon with 100% weapon damage after skill end. Traunt never knew what hit him.

Need to get used to turbo speed but it's way fun. I can melt trash and some bosses are easy on m4.

Tried the solo takedown on m3 but I suck and the first miniboss beat me. Is the event active? Felt like I was swarmed at all times. Did get a corrosive cutsman so that's neat.

Apparently it's on hold until the next patch. You'll be wanting that Cutsman for it whatever.

Is it normal to end up with 10 class mods for you class when you do the dlc? None of them had +5 to donnybrook but otherwise I'll take them.

That one miniboss you get just when you enter the tower dropped 4 of them at the same time

If they're locked boxes/dumpsters then yes, they're for a couple of side quests and will open when doing those quests.

Edit: And to clarify: should I hold off on progressing and do the main quest instead?

I think, assuming you don't use a lot of beams, you want 1-2 points in Playing Dirty and the rest in Donnybrook. Donnybrook gives +9% damage per point, Playing Dirty gives +15% per point but capped at +100% meaningfully. Getting 7 points in Playing Dirty gives 105%. This is all assuming you take Death Follows Close.

Question about the criteria for some legendaries. In order to get some of them, is it that you must be on TVHM, or M4, or both?
