The new raid boss is soloable with effort, took a while with my setup just because of the amount of HP being dealt with. Got some interesting loot though - The Company Man artifact gives 3 pretty substantial boosts to weapons from a given manufacturer, seems good, especially on Moze. Also got to the Black Market machine, it seems to have a random spread of Breath of the Dying, Kyb's Worth (Wotan takedown drop) and the Redline (unique spawn drop, pretty rare) so seems worth keeping an eye on. Remains to be seen if they will carry event items or DLC stuff. Should be noted that you can't save scum it, when you come back from a reload it's gone.. Don't know what condition triggers that, I would think you have to interact with it rather than just load the map.

Some big-ish updates, an event just started where each week one of the trials has their boss buffed to supposedly raid boss levels and extra dedicated drops. Don't think I've done them all so will give it a look. Also Cartels returns at the back end of June as Revengance of Revenge of the Cartels, suggesting it won't be exactly the same, so rumours are going around about new gear and it being raised to raid level.

https://twitter.com/GearboxOfficial/status/1402266402195750918?s=19 The Borderlands and Gearbox feeds are indicating an announcement in a couple of days. Some people have picked at the new website and found references to "Wonderlands", and taken with the apparent reference to DnD allignment some think it's a Bunkers and Badasses spinoff or other fantasy derevision of Borderlands.

Surprised they increased the level cap, not sure what that allows us to do offhand but might be fun to play around. Kind of assumed I wouldn't be doing much farming, guess I'll see how I feel, at least we have anoint rerolls and access to mad Eridium now.

Freddie does have a bug, or at least a quirk, that he respawns just from you fast traveling back down the hall. I believe world drops got tweaked down at some point, but dedicated drops should be the same.

https://borderlands.com/en-US/news/2021-08-05-borderlands-3-update-hotfixes-aug-5/ New patch has the new Vault Card in it, so a few new bits of gear with a bunch of cosmetics. An artifact that massively (100000%) increases legendary world drop chance as a kill skill, new grenade whose function is unclear, Hyperion SMG that changed element based on the target which sounds good, and another hyperion SMG that seems to be based on some Jack mechanics from TPS, where kills drop more case and you get improved fire rate and mag size on cash pickup.

Bugsy posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOKY4_wZjh8 Lemme tag that for you, minimise the clicks to some BABY METAL. Looks pretty decent, probably a bigger add-on than. TPS was to BL2 as you won't be able to use as many assets. It seems like it's Tina playing with some new characters so hopefully the narrative won't be as weirdly executed as TPS. But overall, looks like more of that thing we like.

Bekah is supposed to be in the loot pool of the "loot" variant enemies, the bullet sponges that run away, which are spawning at increased rate. I killed a few on Jakobs Estate and I've not seen one yet though.

Mr Scumbag posted:I'm just looking forward to seeing how much snipers still suck in Wonderlands. Snipers don't all suck! Some behave like SMGs. Would have liked a good Hyperion sniper legend though, I play the Company man on Zane and with them no longer doing pistols it would be nice not to be limited to (very good) SMGs and shotguns. Not even sure snipers are in it, there are bows, and with melee weapons too I wonder (ha!) if types need to be cut. TPS only added lasers, which just got folded into other types in BL3, but this adds at least 2 completely new types. Guess the trailer will probably show.

Listerine posted:I tried Arms Race for the first time tonight and got curb stomped three times in a row, it was extremely not fun. What am I missing? I know that a bunch of the loot is top tier but is this mode possible solo? Yeah, a few things you can do: 1. Cheesiest option, turn on Broken Hearts day, the hearts will spawn in Arms Race and drop loads of Wedding Invitations and the event SMG, both good 2. You probably need to relearn how good regular guns are in relation to each other in a way you won't have seen in the early base game. At white rarity Maliwan guns are especially good. I think Jakobs shotguns are good early too, and COV pistols and rifles 3. Look out for the handful of anoints that work in the mode. All the action skill ones are essentially disabled, but bonus damage against enemies at high health, and bonus damage after grenade throw still work 4. Remember to use grenades if you got out of the habit in the main game I'm probably forgetting a few things but learning what guns to use will help a lot. And sometimes you just get a good legendary early and clean up.

Initial impression is they've done some interesting things to address balance. You get 2 skill points per level and the first "boss" drops Seraph crystals. You do still start with no gear and it's jarring to be so inaccurate.

Devorum posted:I forgot I pre-ordered Bunkers & Badasses, and it arrived as a surprise today. The book is beautiful, and after a quick skim the system actually looks pretty decent. It's streamlined, but also crunchy. There's a ton of Borderlands flavor, and a surprising amount of character customization. There's Archetypes and Classes, which you can mix to get fun stuff like a Siren that's also a gun master or a Commando that's focused on Action Skill usage over gunplay. If you're posting in Awful you can "Insert Imgur" from the [BB] menu and do the upload and the insert into the thread in one go, really handy.

Rinkles posted:Real pity the second expansion was cancelled, because map variety is one of the game's bigger issues. And the cruise ship/theme park setting sounded great. Claptastic Journey seemed to indicate they were finding their feet too. I think some of it got recycled into the Handsome Jackpot DLC but clearly a bunch of ideas were lost.

UnknownMercenary posted:As someone who has just finished a third character in BL3, you just kind of get used to muting the game and hitting skip on every cutscene. It's too bad there's no real way to skip the ingame dialogue bits. Sometimes if the game ticks the checkbox at the start of the dialogue you can exit out to the main menu to skip it, but not all the time. That's too bad, Claptastic Journey is some of the best BL content there is, but if I remember right endgame leveling isn't nearly so trivial as in BL3.

Think Brr-zerker is a safe bet for me as I like Cryo builds. I think the game becomes available in an hour here on EGS but I think that's just when I can download an install. Probably won't get past character creation before bed. Edit: it's actually 11pm tomorrow UK, I expect for the download, they shouldn't say the 24th!

Respeced into something like this at endgame but got thinking about the Brr-zerker Dreadwind ability and how that presumably would work similarly, then saw Moxsy put up something along those lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_EMJo47Lp4&t=511s Might play around without Wrath of Nature and more investment in Zerker's tree but it's good so far. You can put a bunch more equipment-based enhancements into Dreadwind over Blizzard Edit: We should probably change the name of the thread, right?

Just a heads up, Wonderland's Loot Luck and drop system is different from BL3's, it seems Loot Luck impacts both the global Legendary drop rate (I think BL3's only affected white-to-purples?) and probably more significantly it also impacts dedicated loot drops. Explains why folks thought the Liquid Cool's rate was bugged, probably the first thing they farmed as it's so good for multiple popular builds and in isolation. So besides wanting to ratchet up the Chaos levels, probably want to go hunting for those dice. Brighthoof's seem to be well hidden, after a concerted effort I'm at 9/20 without using a guide.

Darth Walrus posted:A good gun can make Chaos Chamber bosses much more manageable (for me, the Rogue Imp and a frost Swordsplosion have been godsends, although other builds may prefer other weapons), and if you're having trouble getting your hands on a good gun, there's always multiplayer. I've been running a vanilla Swordsplosion on my Brr-zerker but a Cryo one would definitely be a huge upgrade. No matter how many gems I feed the bunny I only get plain ones though. I need something for when the Liquid Cooling is empty!

humpthewind posted:I got a cryo Swordsplosion and its been awesome. Didn't know it was so sought after. Mine is better than my volatile ones on my Brr-zerker, I think besides working well with a popular class it synergizes well as frozen targets take more explosive damage. I think the most popular kinds are cryo and the x3 pellet version.

DaveKap posted:It's the worst start in all of Borderlands, honestly. It picks up when you leave Pandora because you never have to see Vaughn again (mostly) and you get one of the best ambient HUB songs in video gaming... but it takes a while to get there. You may want to just search around for a save game that's at the end of Pandora and watch the start of a "BL3 the movie" youtube video to catch up on plot, which barely matters really. I think the first couple of DLCs let you skip to leaving Pandora, unless that's conditional on you having a save at that point.

Asehujiko posted:I'm on the last few missions of borderlands 2 NVHM with a lvl 34 gunzerker and the enemies have completely outscaled me. From Arid Nexus onwards I started getting downed in a second whenever I'm out of cover or flanked and now I'm just completely stuck on the last set of Slaughter quests; a single bullet from a constructor turret takes off about 1k of my total 9k combined shield/health and any big-ish hit like an RPG loader will drop me to the one shot protection from full. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Do the enemies show the same sort of level? Can only think your build might need to be reoptimized or you need better gear. Been a while so I don't remember how I did it, scaling is definitely tougher in BL2 than 3.

I think you are all overlooking that Handsome Jack will 100% be a post credits reveal. Wouldn't hate Reynolds in the role but Nate Fillion would be a slam dunk. I still would wait for it to show up on a streaming service I already have though. Probably licencing No Rest For The Wicked will be worth a full letter grade.

Risky Bisquick posted:Identify a cast member from borderlands who can compare, I'll wait JLC as Taniss might have it in her, but not seeing it here. This being apparently a reworking of BL1 with shifting stuff around to put Tina in seems like a massive handicap, if you're doing you may as well make Jack the villain and find someone to jam all the scenery into their mouths. Plus Roland is barely a character and is at his most interesting in the ground, Krieg isn't exactly going to have much of an arc either, unless he's Tina's dad here. Seems mad not to have Brick and Morty either, two weirdos with chemistry who exacerbate Roland trying to shepherd them into being sensible. And obviously you cast Batista as Brick.
