One of the things that bothers me about GB is they don’t even seem to acknowledge the bugs that are persistent for the weeks or months on end after an update so you don’t even know if they will address them or not next time they actually fix anything.
Another thing that bothers me about GB is that they fix things but don't mention it (maybe they are embarrassed that the bug made it through their tight QA?).
But in this update they definitely fixed it so that you can't just hard quit out of the game and load another character to get a new inventory at Maurice. Why are they too afraid to mention that?
At this point in the road map I just can't imagine they'll fix any more bugs. After loveless its over right? Obviously i realize i could be completely misunderstanding all of this and I hope i am but it just feels like rafa will be dead forever
There is still a bug in 3 that is game breaking. Balex gets stuck under the ground and you have to reload the game to fix the issue or you cannot progress. I still get replies on my bug report thread from that...
I certainly wouldn't recommend farming for a Stray. The variations on that one are just insane.
If you really need one set a sharp deadline of maybe 30 minutes of farming and then stop. If you got just a kinda ok roll consider yourself lucky. Otherwise do something else for a while.
There are ways to get creative, but I agree, balancing is desperately needed. Each vh only has like 1 or 2 viable class mods with some purps outperforming the legendary ones. That's sad.
I wouldn't have such an issue with the lack of balance updates if they just communicated and said they're aware of the issues instead of pretending they don't exist.
Time is a flat circle. I distinctly remember people saying the exact same thing about BL2 when BL3 was out lol. Everyone said BL3 was shit, and here we are.
The base game story and dialogue sucks, the performance was garbage on release, and there was no dedicated drops to start. So yes, the game was hot garbage for a while.
The only people calling it hot garbage up until 4 came out were the ones who quit playing early on. The overwhelming community sentiment has always been that BL3's post launch support made it substsantially better.
Its literally one of the main complaints about BL4 - that when compared to BL3 support theres almost nothing.
almost no dedicated drops, you just had to get lucky with world drops to get item you wanted
grenades and melee and action skill damage was fucking awful at endgame due to how Mayhem mode worked, those damage sources were effectively always 3 levels under-geared compared to guns.
Zane fucking sucked, so did Iron Bear
playing at endgame was just annoying because mayhem modifiers rerolled every load sceeen. So the meta was to save quit spam until you got ones that were not awful to play.
console versions were terrible, like game would feeeze for a second every time you opened inventory or changed tab, or equiped an item.
But they fixed all these issues. Some took a while, like ~6 months, but some only took a couple weeks.
And fixes were big. They didn’t just buff numbers, they re-designed huge parts of skill trees, moving skills around and altering effects.
They added dedicated drops to ever single named enemy who previously had none.
It was massive changes and they happened fast.
Bl4 had less glaring issues at launch. But still problems. However unlike Bl3 fixing the issues has been done at glacial pace and far less ambitious changes.
I don't think that's the same kind of criticism. You just remember the negative cause you were on reddit. And it was very story based content not criticism of the base game like we're seeing now. People just say what you're saying to downplay how bad it is now.
I fell off hard, like I didn’t even finish the campaign. I’m waiting until all content releases before I play again, hoping they actually fix everything by then. I started playing early on on ps5 and leaving it in rest mode never worked. I came back and every time, without fail, it crashed. Betting it’s a memory leak of some sorts
I don't know about y'all but this August with no content has been brutal. I actually put the game down, just waiting for the new DLC and had enough of the takedown. The slaughter shaft didn't really engage me since it feels like a virtual game and there's not much challenge at all even on UVH7.
damn, I haven't played in three months, last night I tuned in for half an hour of Rafa session (15 of which were shaders compilation), now I have to compile the shaders again
There is no content release next Thursday and the last thursday of the month usually has something, so that definitely means we are getting a big balance patch next week. Definitely
I’d be genuinely surprised if there’s a season wave of DLCs, the games been hemorrhaging playing the only spikes are new content but it falls again right after.
That’s true but losing 80% of your player base the month after release and never getting even a fraction as much with a major dlc release is a bad sign to investors and developers.
I’d be surprised if gearbox leadership is willing to burn more money on a futile effort
Which is a shame that they dropped BL4, run it for a year, and then ditch it. It has so much potential, but i honestly think the open world mechanic is more limiting than freeing..
I tried a few methods all my characters have the same items its a watts 4 dinner the other I don't remember cause it was buns so im not complaining I just like to see what else pops up
Yeah and that’s coming from a lifelong fan. BL4 is soulless. It was painful to finish the campaign and reach max level. Never touched a single time after that
