| Forget Tyreen and Troy, there is one villain who is far worse than these two combined... Posted: 13 Oct 2019 03:01 PM PDT Its the jackass who plants those COV radio towers in really high hard to reach parkour spots.... [link] [comments] |
| A message to the sound designers of BL3 Posted: 13 Oct 2019 02:25 AM PDT Thanks to you I dread killing skags now. They sound like kicked puppies and I get sad everytime one of them dies. My FL4K would like to adopt all of them and build an army of adorable happy skaggos who never have to whine like that ever again. Seriously, curse you for using those sounds! Lots of resentment - Me [link] [comments] |

| Epic Games Store down, can't even play offline? Posted: 13 Oct 2019 11:08 AM PDT So it looks like theEpic Games Store is down, even though their official site says all systems are up. Fine that happens, but that's what offline mode is supposed to be for, so I log in offline, and it says BL3 isn't purchased or installed, even though it is. So we have a game that's capable of running offline, and a launcher that's supposedly capable of running offline, but none actually do. What a mess. [link] [comments] |
| Amara's Guardian Angel should trigger at the END of the down timer. Posted: 13 Oct 2019 08:49 AM PDT Give me a chance to earn a second wind, or be helped up, before burning that 2 minute cooldown. Please. [link] [comments] |
| The biggest disappointment of Borderlands 3 Posted: 13 Oct 2019 04:03 PM PDT Justin MacReady's corpse is nowhere to be found. I was really hoping it would just show up on Sanctuary III with no explanation as to why. [link] [comments] |

| [SPOILERS] Twelve relatively minor changes to BL3's story that would have made it 1000% better. Posted: 13 Oct 2019 03:03 AM PDT Change Ava's personality to more reserved, quiet, borderline shy and afraid to open up to new people but with an underlying strength of 'she does what she has to in order to survive.' Add a Troy and Tyreen boss fight after the Rampager to show the Vault Hunters doing something. Cutscene plays out normally. Have Troy absorb Maya's powers, but dont kill her; leave her in a coma whereupon Ava blames HERSELF and no one else. Scrap the whole 'Siren's can choose a successor.' Have Maya know Ava will be a siren because she can sense it, not because she is going to give her powers to her. Scrap the hints that 'Troy will betray Tyreen' and scrap Tyreen's condescending attitude towards Troy. Replace that with Tyreen actually affectionate towards Troy, so she is actually saddened and influenced by his death. Or, even more poetically, give her an emotional dependance on him while he depends on her to live. Strain forms on Tyreen's end when Troy gets Maya's powers and no longer needs Tyreen to live, and Tyreen loses her shit when he is killed. Have Tannis' Siren abilities be a random occurence due to her chronic proximity to Eridian relics OR because she figured out a way how to obtain them on her own through science and a bit of eridium. Have Maya regain her powers and wake up when Troy dies. Augment Typhon's role and give Tyreen a better backstory. Even just having Typhon tell young Tyreen and Troy about his adventures and promise to take them on some, but he died before he could is better. Give Tyreen a realistic goal instead of 'literally wants to be a star.' Or if she is that insane and stupid, make that clear. Fight Tyreen twice, once before absorbing the destroyer and once after (like Jack/Warrior). Maybe even have the option of who kills her. Have Lilith give Maya Sanctuary. Have another cutscene where Ava is shown looking at her new Siren markings (implying she obtained Tyreen's powers) which she quickly covers up when she hears Maya approaching (mainly from embarrassment and fear that these are the powers she has.)

| So, rather than talk about the ending of the game... (Minor Spoilers) Posted: 13 Oct 2019 05:21 PM PDT I'd like to talk about the beginning. It starts off fine, but once you've defeated Shiv and head out to The Droughts there are some odd choices made. While it might be true that the Raiders are on the back foot due to A: not having their floating fortress anymore and B: being hounded by the growing CoV, Liliths' choice of base is weird. So we clear out the CoV outpost to use it as a base and you're told to find the Sun Smashers, then head to Ellie's after you get back. Oh hey, Ellie's just around the corner, how about that? Hold on...why is Ellie staying about 100m from what I'd probably call a significant CoV outpost? I mean she's clearly an enemy of them, judging by what that one guy she has pinned up says. Tannis has her dig site further up the road, which is just off from the shipyard. That shipyard seems pretty defensible too, only 2 ways in one of which is a blast door... I really think they should've had the shipyard be the starting hub, rather than the CoV outpost. You've already got the Catch a Ride out front, just add some vending machines and a quick change inside, some NPCs/guards and hey presto, the one thing the Raiders would probably be guarding is actually guarded. It would also help the story a bit too, rather than just the Calypsos "sneaking up" on Lilith (Cause how can you sneak up on someone who's standing at the far end of a compound, of which the main gate and approach into said compound is clearly visible) you'd have the CoV invade the compound. Do a wave or so at the front gate, then move to the back door. THEN the blast door closes, cutscene happens. On another note a big annoyance I have with the cutscene as a whole, is why didn't Lilith just teleport behind the blast door, rather than just stand out in the open with the vault map and no backup. I mean...she can teleport, it's a thing she can do. She essentially lost her powers because she forgot she can do the one thing she'd been doing for the last 5-10 minutes. [link] [comments] |
| I wish I had known sooner that you can put the Eridian Fabricator on the wall in your room Posted: 13 Oct 2019 07:53 AM PDT I had the COV launcher from the VIP program on my wall since level 10 and had no idea you could get the Eridian Fabricator out of your inventory by putting it in the launcher display slot until I saw one of my friends do it. I know it takes no inventory space but seeing that thing every time I looked at my items or sold stuff got old real fast. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Oct 2019 06:39 PM PDT DLC 1: Axton and Gaige's never ending vault hunt.
Obviously needs some more details in between. This DLC could also add a rougelike dungeon mode which has been thought of before on this reddit where you run random vaults with varying enemies, environments, modifiers, and random bosses at the end. DLC 2: The Perpetual war
The new areas would be the Vladof, tediore, and the shield makers homeworlds. Plenty of Raid boss opportunities here. I dont know what else, but this would wrap up the remaining corporations we've left to really interact with. DLC 3: Vault Hunter Reunion Party
This DLC wraps up all the missing characters I think. Could add new manufacturer but that might be dumb. Fairly Story heavy DLC. DLC 4: Tiny Tina's War on Warlock's peak.
Obviously needs a lot of work and detail but I just wanted to put this out there so I can come back and see how close I was. This post obviously inst going to influence gearbox but I think they're decent ideas. What are some thoughts and Ideas you've come up with? [link] [comments] |
| Abusing your in game mailbox for wealth and riches. Posted: 13 Oct 2019 12:54 PM PDT So I was thinking about the limited backpack capacity and wondered "Can we use the in-game ability to send items to friends to increase the size of our backpacks?". The answer to that question is YES! My husband and I did some testing and found there are a few ways to exploit the send items to boost your characters backpack. Gaming with my husband on a new toon increased our time before having to go sell stuff machine by 30-50%.
Things to note:
TL:DR Use your friends as mailbox mules to gain greater riches and guns! Why should you carry when the post office can? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Oct 2019 05:33 PM PDT I'm really hoping that we will learn modified versions of old Vault Hunter's Skill Trees to expand our current characters. We could essentially take on a mentor from the previous generation of Hunters. For example, Salv could make a return and teach Amara a modified version of the Brawn skill tree - which would pair well with the Fistful of Elements tree. Mordecai could gift Fl4k Talon's hatchling, and develop a skill tree around using the new pet. Axton could return and assist Moze build augments for Iron Bear, while developing a skill tree based on Axton's Guerrilla skill tree. Finally, Zero could teach Zane a modified version of the Bloodshed skill tree, which would pair very well with his current action skills. [link] [comments] |
| Cyclone wobble when you join a coop game. Posted: 13 Oct 2019 07:24 PM PDT Me and my bro tested this out. When either one of us joins the others game, the cyclone wobbles uncontrollably. If you host the game its fine. But if you join you will have problems. Actually everything is wobbly. Wtf 2k? [link] [comments] |
| Playing destiny makes me appreciate Borderlands so much Posted: 13 Oct 2019 08:11 AM PDT I know destiny 2 and borderlands 3 are different from each other in a lot of aspects so they really aren't comparable, but some of the issues with destiny make me appreciate how clean all of the borderlands games are. My gf loves destiny so I play once and a while with her but it feels so underdeveloped compared any borderlands game. We complain about quest tracking, but it's so much clearer in bl3 compared to previous games. The new map looks fantastic, getting gear so far has been fun and exciting instead of a grind, people say the menus are laggy compared to the old games but they're blazing fast compared to the destiny 2 menus. Most importantly though, the atmosphere of the game is vibrant. Little background noises and enemy sounds make it feel like there's actual life other than my character, and the hearing someone talk on the echo while you're running a quest gives you lore or some fun chatter. Thanks for reading this, go get 'em vault hunters! [link] [comments] |
| "HA! I shoved her ass in a hard drive and ejected the bitch..." Posted: 13 Oct 2019 06:54 PM PDT BALEX is one of my fav characters but it kinda sucks that he repeats his mission line every time you talk to him. BALEX Nerf incoming.. /s [link] [comments] |
| Anointed weapons and uniques with on/off special effects need visual cues Posted: 13 Oct 2019 12:55 AM PDT Title says it all. Anointed weapons and unique guns (such as the Sleeping Giant) need some kind of shimmer or glow to them to indicate the fact that their effect is active. Or, since there are also anointed and unique shields, you could also add a kill-skill-esq icon on the XP bar to let the player know when it's active. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Oct 2019 04:52 PM PDT Hey after playing for roughly 85 hours now(LV 50 Fl4k, 36 Amara and Zane and 16 Moze) I have thought that sharing some of my thoughts in this community might be a good idea to hear some other opinions and thoughts. So to start things off: I love Borderlands 3. The gameplay is fantastic and I enjoy all characters so far(Fl4k being the favorite since the first char leaks). However as basically everyone in this community, in my social environment(friends and colleagues) and on other social networks(mostly Twitter) has already realized the game has it's flaws. I did not expect a story masterpiece of Borderlands from the beginning, it's no red dead or last of us, Zelda or whatever. No matter what I have to say I am definitely mostly disappointed in the story. Comparing it to Borderlands 2(Only played part 1 for the first ~15 levels at a friends house and never played pre-sequel) the story lacked a whole bunch of interesting characters. The characters that are interesting to me(Brick, Mordecai, Tina, Maya, Moxxi, Ellie and even Claptrap)were all characters designed before this game and additionally only had their (extremely short) time in the spotlight during side missions. New characters lack basically any kind of connectivity to the player in my eyes. The antagonists are dipshits that aren't funny(in comparison Jack was funny, yet a dipshit. The funny part made him enjoyable though). Gameplay Looting, Shooting, Looting... Rating: 10/10 To split it up by story progression: SPOILERS INCLUDED FROM HERE ON 1sr Pandora part is as every introduction part: Lame. Learn mechanics of a simple game(really who are you targeting these days by explaining how to use nades, equip stuff etc)-more to this later. Vaughn is ok. I hated him at first but by now I got a taste for the humor of his character- Bandit Lyyyyfe. Rating: 4/10 Promethea is probably the strongest story part to me. I like the technology-heavy look, Rhys is funny, Lorelei is ok as an introduction character to the area and has a funny side mission(coffee), Katagawa is one of the 2 best designed Bossfights and the General Grievous Mono-wheel Vehicle is my fav(when playing solo). Plus the planet offers other good side missions and doesn't have really long routes However Gigamind is lame and the vault monster has to many immune phases to be an enjoyable fight(more later) Rating: 8/10 Athenas: I habe to rate Athenas separately from Promethea because otherwise it wouldn't be fair for Promethea. Maya is here: Yeah! With a fresh new haircut as well. And we have a funmy boss: Traunt Jr.: Love that guy. However: Ava...The first time I still was ok with the graverobbery part and her childish/teeny attitude. However even on the first playthrough and just in the time of being on this graveyard I became less and less positive towards her. Throughout the whole story and looking back to this point one of the worst if not the worst borderlands character I have seen so far has been introduced here. I can't really tell what exactly it is. It starts from the lack of badassery that any good borderlands character has. And if not neing a badass a character in borderlands needs to be funny(e.g. claptrap) Ava however: none of these. Ok story part, cool boss, however: Ava Rating: 4/10 Wainwright as a character was cool to me however the story part on eden 6 is terrible. Long routes, low amount of either thrilling or fun parts in comparison to the total length and the worst vault boss: The Graveward.(Nice to farm however the fight design is not that good in my eyes->Huge orange heart SHOOT HERE and no real threat. Was able to do the graveward on mayhem 3 after finishing the story once on lv 35)-looks cool though. Probably one of the best designed bosses(epicness) The Rogue missions with clay had some fun parts but especially when re-playing those the long waiting times etc make it way less enjoyable. Hammerlocks re-appearance is a nice nostalgic bonus plus we have the only real impact of Brick, Tina and Mordecai here, yet Eden-6 remains worse than it could've been. Bonus: Balex-Navigated Bitches. Probably the best new character and the most enjoyable part of eden 6 for me is the family jewel and finding and later "recruiting" balex. I laughed my ass off when GenIVIV started doing jabber mating calls. Rating: 6.5/10 2nd Pandora part: Carnivora. Mad Max vibes are heavy here. The vibe given by a huge driving arena of chaos are the best part about this story part, yet it is one of the weaker parts gameplay-wise(anything including cars-especially "escorts"- are the worst gameplay parts to me) and somehow manages to turn a cool idea into something way less enjoyable just by being forced to chase the rolling city tank and getting it to stop. I would rate this way higher if you would manage to barely jump into carnivora before it starts to turn it's rounds and you would be fighting in a driving city/arena all the time. Relatively short, ok bossfight(low amount of immune phases) and a nice but already way earlier expected plot twist(obvious on first playthrough way before) Rating: 7.5/10 3rd Pandora Part: Roland's Rest. Tannis history lesson and start of the grand finale. After running through a mine and escorting a huge machine with our bandit-bro Vaughn(escort sucks, medium to big sized areas without real bosses suck) we get to begin what we first think is the grand finale. After fighting through a bunch of COV fanatics of all kinds and raiding the great vault with all our old and new friends we end up fighting one of our main antagonists: Troy. Besides from Kagawa, Troy is my favorite boss design-wise only. The immunity phases are pure dogshit and a waste of time. After getting rid of him we get "jebaited". However dipshit ava saves anyone of interest from getting hurt and we get a call from our legendary first vh: Typhon. Rating: 6/10 Nekrotafeyo: On the legendary eridian home planet we meet Typhon the first vh and whip-fanatic. Typhon was a funny character yet way too rushed(Would've enjoyed to see some more story of typhon and therefore getting a shortened version of eden-6). Big Bro Traunt is here and we need to kill him to rescue pandora and the galaxy from certain death. However after all efforts Tyreen crushes our plans again and Tannis teleports us into the grand final boss battle vs God-Queen Tyreen. Besides including immunity phases and hard-to-hit movement phases like on the ravager, the fight is ok, however the story feels super rushed towards the end after having a huge built-up to the first vault a (at least it felt like it) third of the whole story on eden-6 for the second vault and suddenly it all goes down in (what feels like) no time. Rating: 7/10 Conclusion of the story: I feel like me not liking the antagonists is the worst part about the story. The story has a borderlands feel to it and includes some if not many cool characters. However not having any kind of emotion other than cringe and disappointment towards antagonists doesn't benefit a story line. Without some uplifting(mostly good bosses or fun-)parts insise the story I probably wouldn't have finished the story once and now I am abput to.do it the 5th time. Nevertheless the antagonists and partially tedious story really only are worth the playthrough since the gameplay at the end is reward enough to fight through the bad parts of it. Overall Story Rating: 7/10 So whoever read so far: What are your thoughts? Maybe just point out a major disagreement or write a quick ratings only comment, I'm interested to see what other players think. I am not finished yet though: To round up the post I wanted to add some improvements I feel.the game could use, so here we go:
LET ME SKIP CUTSCENES (AND TUTORIALS) I already dont get it when devs force someone to watch cutscenes on the first playthrough but ok you want people to see what you worked for. But in tvh mode and on new characters on the same pc: Why can't I skip.cutscenes?! ... The game already has a way too high amount of parts where you need for npcs to finish their talking or whatever to proceed, but in addition to that being forced to watch cutscenes over and over is just a pain in the ass.
To wrap it up: As I said in the beginning: I love bl3 and I will keep playing for quite a few more hours anyway(want to get all chars to 50) however it defnitely has it's issues. Overall Game Rating: 8.5/10 [link] [comments] |
| My (and yours if you wanna share) favorite legendary guns by manufactures. Posted: 13 Oct 2019 07:24 PM PDT these are just the ones I have so far that are usuable. Vladof: Lucian's call- I like its fire rate and I was able to get one with high accuracy and fire damage since I have an Amara pyro build. that and its a freaking doubled minigun. Tediore: The bangarang- I got one with radiation and when I am in a pinch I just chuck it and it always gets me out of a scrape. that and I like the old school game sounds they make as they are getting low. Maliwan: The cutsman- I got one with fire damage and its just really strong with whatever flesh target I set my sights upon. Dahl: The Night Hawkin- Just a strong gun to use when I just let the bullets fly (unless its those stupid anointed). that no pause between bursts is nice. Hyperion: The Brainstormer- I just love seeing my PS4 near exploding when i get multiple lightning procs and enemies reduced to dust in milliseconds. Jakobs: King/Queens call- this one is hard because I love Jakobs the most and I like all of their weapons but if I had to pick it would be between the king and queens call. both solidly strong weapons that I take everywhere. Torgue: Roisens thorns- I keep this one for when I am farming Katagawa ball and agonizer 9000 as the sticky mode lets me pop off shots then get the big chunk of damage while I run around.

| You can turn in the named vehicles that spawn near the end of the Blood Drive quest. Posted: 13 Oct 2019 08:51 PM PDT There is one vehicle in particular that has the heavy armor, turbo booster, and flak cannon for the technical. The vehicle drops out of the huge mobile fortress while you are shooting it's fuel tanks. [link] [comments] |
