Borderlands 3 |OT| The Three-Sequel!!

[Wyze]

Manage to fix most of the stuttering of this game by putting in as a launch option -NOTEXTURESTREAMING, there is still some stutter here and there but it's a lot more manageable now.

what's with UE4 games and the horrible texture streaming? Jedi Fallen also suffered from it.

by extension I'm enjoying the game a lot more now. Gunplay is much more enjoyable than previous entries with all the mobility options. Cool to see old characters like Zer0, and Maya.

I do regret buying the standard edition, instead of just buying the deluxe version with the season pass included when it was on sale though.

I really hate how there is only a single checkpoint in the middle of the Maliwan Takedown raid. It just makes dying against the final boss not fun because you have to fight through all the waves of enemies before it everytime. And oh boy is it easy to die against that boss, even on Mayhem 1. Which is stupid, considering how easy the rest of the game is on Mayhem 3.

Brawler ward/face puncher exploit still works if you die off a ledge.

1. Put all skill points in sheild maiden tree
2. Unequip com
3. Equip brawler ward
4. Jump off ledge for 20 minutes
5. Equip com (bloodletter)
6. Equip face puncher
7. Do 3-7 million damage in one shot

If you get downed you will lose the damage stacking.

Shift code for 10 keys - C3KTJ-WF9SK-F9F6H-56TT3-CZ6FR

From 3/27 until 4/10. Late on this but for those who didnt see like me.

 

[Razorrin]

Beat the main story and used Graveward to get to 57, had a ton of fun with the game, and am now hoping to kick even more butt!

Anyone got any fun builds or reccomendations for a good FL4K? I'm hoping to start new playthroughs with other characters soon enough, but I'd like to shore up any weaknesses with him first, and I think a Fade Away build with an Invincibility after Break/50% Hp Build would be a good place to start.

I'll take any recommendations though! Burst Sickle seems like a real sure bet overall though, if I can get lucky enough to get one Anointed!

 

[TreeMePls]

On the second to last mission of the new dlc and I honestly wish they would take the smaller arc approach they have with the dlcs and have that be the main campaign too. I know they kinda did that already (siege of Atlas, takeover of Jacobs, etc) but I felt it was hamstrung having to be tied to you stopping the Calypsos all the time

 

[Faenix1]

Anyone play yesterday, and then log in today and find your weapons are.. nerfed? Like I'm pretty sure my shotgun had 12 ammo and did 6000 dmg and would melt everything. Today its 4 and 600. Same with my sniper. Everything else is where I left it.

Surely matchmaking for circle of slaughters and joining a level 38 didnt just screw my weapons up. :/

Did you wait for hotfixes to be applied

Always wait for hotfixes to be applied

They fucked up with Ava, really one of the worst characters I've ever seen. The quest that she sends the VH to retrieve her stuff is so bad. Awful dialog.

 

[astro]

Played for about 3 hours last night for the first time... and the gunplay feels so flimsy and unsatisfying.

Does it get better the more weapons are unlocked? I know it's early but so far every single gun is a chore to use, not making a good first impression.

Love the new movement, the visuals look awesome, playing as Zane and enjoying his skills.

The honour is obnoxious, but I knew exactly what I was getting into.

Don't know what to say. The guns all feel better to use than they ever did in past Borderlands games. Of course, the legendary guns have a better feel than regular green/blue/purple weapons thanks to their uniqueness.

I think in terms of standard guns any Dahl or Hyperion SMG probably feel the best to use.

The bar wasn't very high in that regard, at least imo. Shooting definitely feels better here, but next to games like Destiny, The Division 2, Doom... it just feels flimsy and lacking to me.

I really like the surrounding systems to I hope I just get used to it or guns I find later feel better for me.

 

[Barnak]

Can't help but feel disappointed about how the DLC guns drop in such high quantity(compared to the "vanilla" guns) in their respective campaign. I lost count of how many Anarchys, Seeryl Killurs, Flame Diddles, Insiders and Oldridians I got while doing the new DLC while getting barely anything else. Make it not as interesting to replay... it would be so much better if they would simply add these guns to the general loot drops of the whole game instead of doing "hey, let's make sure 80% of the loot you'll get in the new DLC be the same 5 guns."

Also, where are my new weapons skins? 2 DLCs without that kinda sucks. They give us room decorations and echo device skins, but who really care about those honestly when you can only hang 3 decorations in your room and barely see your echo device anyway.

Did Gibbed ever get a BL3 release? Want to try out the other characters but dont want to go through the story another 6 times

After not putting much time into the PS4 release I'm dumping a lot of hours into this on PC now and having a wonderful time with Moze! The marriage DLC was some of the best Borderlands content I've ever personally played.

 

[Raide]

Good god this game can be annoying when it crashes. Round 3 for the arena thingy and it hard locks the console. Jesus. I have to play the performance mode on 1X because the res mode is so slow. Also, texture loading still a massive issue in 2020? As much as I love playing BL3 at the moment (Fills time!) it still feels like a rushed game, despite it taking damn years to appear.

It's very frustrating and it only happens on my 1X, never on my plain old Xbox One. And this is the only game that I play where the crashes happen

Should still be good

 

[kmfdmpig]

Here are the notes for the hotfix:


The Door Busters mini event ends at 9:00 AM PST today.

We also are excited to start two new events: Slot Machine Mania and Trials Take-All! They'll go live with the hotfix today!

Slot Machine Mania pays out big time! There's an increased chance to win Legendary gear from Slot Machines, and for grenades to spawn (because who doesn't like a little risk?). There's still a chance for other loot to drop, but the rate has been reduced so you can win Legendaries (and take damage)!

Trials Take-All boosts the rewards awarded during the Proving Ground Trials. Bosses will have a 100% chance to drop loot from their pools during the event.

• Activate Slot Machine Mania mini-event until 9:00 AM PT on April 9
• Activate Trials Take-All mini-event until 9:00 AM PT on April 9
• Adjusted the Pearl of Ineffable Knowledge Artifact to do +90% damage and updated the item description to show the correct value
• Addressed a reported concern that the Siren's Stone class mod was sometimes increasing damage taken, instead of decreasing damage taken

ADJUSTMENTS FOR MOZE, THE GUNNER:
We have been taking a closer at Moze the last few weeks. Here at the first set of hotfixes based on those investigations, primarily focused on improving her survivability. We will be further addressing some areas we identified as trouble spots for her in the future.

• Reduced the cooldown time for Iron Bear
• Increased the amount of fuel for Iron Bear
• Increased the bonus on "Behind the Iron Curtain" skill
• Increased the bonus on "Security Bear" skill
• Increased the bonus on "Experimental Munitions" skill

WEAPON BALANCE:
Damned

• Increased weapon damage

Hyperion Weapon Shields

• Increased the amount of damage weapon shields absorb

The Lob

• Increased Fire Rate
• Reduced projectiles from 3 to 1

Tiggs Boom

• Increased weapon damage
• Increased damage from the Starfall meteors

Moonfire

• Increased weapon damage
• Increased Critical Damage Bonus

Good Juju

• Non-critical hits now increase Critical Damage Bonus by 20%. This bonus stacks 25 times and is removed upon manual reload.

If the increased firerate is as ridiculous as the previous buffs, it could be just as powerful even with a single projectile. :P

Curious to see the changes to Moze though, she's really not as strong as my Amara in Mayhem 4, both in damage and survivability.

And finally, my 3-4k eridiums will finally be useful with this slot machines mini-event.

 

[JJShadow]

Is there a list of the unique perk/effect of each legendary gun?

 

[Chopin the Third]

Slot machine event is nice. I have $50mil+ and over 15k eridium.

It was a mistake to make it shoot 3 projectiles on top of everything else

I think even 1 projectile with a higher fire rate, will still be very good, I only have a level 57 corrosive lob but it's been great against the enemies in dlc2

Those are some good Moze buffs, but still the problem remains. The whole getting in and out of Iron Bear takes too long, halts the flow of combat. I love the idea of walking around in a big Mech but the execution is clunky, also kinda dislike the whole transition of the animation the black screen takes me out of the action. Wish it was more seamless and quicker.

 

[Witness]

Nice Moze buffs, excited to play and see the differences myself.

 

[Barnak]

Is there a better class mod + artifact combo for Moze than Bloodletter + Deathless? I'd love to try something else but the extra 100% shield and shield healing is too nice to give up.

The only other class mod that seems good is Blast Master if you end up using the Capstone skills of the green and blue trees. With big magazine guns, this could end up in a lot of explosive damage I guess, but then the Deathless artifact become not as useful and the only other artifact I could see worth using is the new one from the latest DLC.

Quick tip : You get faster in Iron Bear while doing it in midair. Why? The lack of animation I guess, I usually jump right before entering Iron Bear.

I've been a fan of the Borderlands series so I don't mind the gunplay in general, but I started out as Zane for a few hours and wasn't having a great time.
Then I restarted as FL4K and managed to get some much more enjoyable guns early on that made the whole game feel better (nothing to do with the class, just better drops).
But then a few hours later and the only decently powerful guns I have aren't the most fun to use again.

I'm not super deep into the game, but I feel like my enjoyment of the game is much more dependent on what guns you get than the previous games, either that or there are just more guns I don't like compared to the other games.

 

[jakomocha]

Been playing this with my 2 friends that I played BL2 with way back when. It's a really good time, but I gotta say they really dropped the ball with the story this time around. Now, BL2 definitely didn't have the best writing, but there was definitely some heart behind the story and Handsome Jack was a really compelling antagonist. The Calypso Twins, on the other hand, are basically a complete joke and a super disappointing follow-up to Handsome Jack. The story itself is chock-full of aggravating humor and lame characters. This wouldn't be that big of a deal if it weren't for the fact that the story is really shoved down your throat this time around, more so than BL2.

Also, as a huge fan of Tales from the Borderlands (seriously, go play that if you haven't), what they've done to the characters from TftB in this game so far is a complete abomination. Rhys and especially Vaughn feel like entirely different characters compared to TftB.

This is exactly how I'm feeling right now.

Made some more progress and found a couple of guns I enjoyed, but had to leave them behind quite quickly and I'm stuck using guns that don't feel great. The combat encounters I'm playing with them I'm not enjoying, which feels like I'm missing out due to rng.

This doesn't usually feel as pronounced in loot games, even if it has happened in others to an extent.

Well the Lob is just as strong as it was before, you can click 3 times almost as fast as it used to launch the 3 "balls" prior to the hotfix.

What guns are you using? I use Vladof ARs, but while they shoot pretty damn fast and never need to be reloaded(which would be great for Blast Master), they don't enough damage in Mayhem 4. :(

If you use the Bottomless mags skills for ammo regen, you can use those "On Action Skill End, next 2 magazines have 50% additional elemental damage" anointments to last nearly forever, since you rarely have to reload. So, no need to use Iron Bear constantly for the buffs, only when really necessary.

Some weapons have the same anointment, but with 125% instead of 50%. They're just more rare. I thought it was only sniper rifles, but then I just got a SMG with that.

[Barnak]

Is there a better way to farm Deathless than killing the Phoenix? It's a really annoying enemy to fight, just standing there, waiting for it to slowly revive TWICE. Not to mention its immunity to fire, when most of my guns have anointments with additional fire damage. And then there's the fact that it only drop it like once every 10+ kills or something.

 

[Chairmanchuck (另一个我)]

How long does it normally take to find a random group for raids?

I waited for 1 hour and I didnt find anyone, even though there are more than 50k playing on PC...

 

[uncredited male mk2]

I don't like all the magnitude anointments. There is usually a clear winner for each build. I would rather have the legendary class mod effects be anointments. You could put the more powerful ones on shield or nade mods and have the weapon ones always be active.

At least they are not as bad as all the worthless artifacts.
