    Looks like Gearbox is making up for the Takedown delay with increased loot drops. They've announced a farming frenzy from the 16th to 30th, and that the rebalanced Maliwan Takedown should release at the end. Should be a higher rare spawn rate, increased drop rate on dedicated drops, and a higher annointed rate.
    details

    This should all be permanent btw.

    I can get to Wotan easily but its still a pain in the ass. The valkyries are not dropping anything either

    When is the game out on Steam? BL3 has lacked a little hype.

    Should be April if it's as soon as its EGS exclusivity is up. We haven't had confirmation yet, though.

    Got a redistributor! Its fire and not annointed but still wrecks face. I also got an annointed transformer that run so woo.

    The only problem is Zane cant really use Action skill end annointnents so a lot of my drops are worthless for him.

    Enjoying a shield/sntnl Zane build with Seein Dead. Electric Handsome Jackhammer with the Cryo annointment. Also, the on grenade throw annointments are crazy. Have two now (Red Queen and Epicenter).

    The throw ones are nice because the grenadr damage is irrelevant. Just huck one then go into fade away

    Wish the gauntlets like Fervor weren't so damn long. Gave up trying to get a Lydua to drop off the end dino. Come on world drops!

    So the farming event has gone pretty well for me. I geared up every character so theyre at least passable in M4. I still need to grind out a few annointed grenades and sheilds though

    It pissed me off too. I got my first Lyuda by farming Freddie... quite possibly the easiest farm ever.

    Don't forget you can get a Lyuda by completing all of Zeroes bounties as well.

    Yeah, did that last night (only needed 2 more). And it dropped with Rack Attack on it so I switched pets.

    They made some of the event changes permament in todays hotfix.

    Apparently rare spawns are no longer rare and will have loot drops comparable to bosses.

    Also you can now flip a switch to make Takedown not fun again

    Contemplating grinding out all new gear at 53. Or maybe running an alt? Nabbed a weapon damage/pistol damage/grenade stack bot for Flak.

    They were always going to raise the level cap and they're going to raise it again one assumes. Shrug. Can always wait for that instead of farming twice or more.

    Re farming my gear sounded tedious but man after a few hours of Cistern farming I'm pretty much swimming in anointed gear again.

    I’d imagine that was probably deliberate?

    Everything they do is deliberate (minus the bugs one hopes). So yeah, it was. Doesn't factor into it being crap or not.

    It was. That doesn't mean its not shit.

    Their argument was as always game balance bullshit. God forbid characters feel powerful.

    Not sure Eli Roth's filmography inspires a lot of confidence...

    "...screenplay by the two-time Emmy-winning screenwriter Craig Mazin." Well, Chernobyl is pretty solid credit. Other than that it's a lot of sequels, like Scary Movies and Hangovers. The linked blurb makes it sounds like its going to be the story of the first game? That's a terrible idea, as it is a very video game video game - nearly voiceless single protagonist killing waves of moops on a 50 hours MacGuffin hunt with a famously disappointing ending. All the personality of the original characters was retconned into the franchise by BL2. They will need to make some real structural changes to make it a four character adventure with emotional hooks, character arcs and a solid payoff at the end. It would have been better to take the Tales approach and come up with a compelling story set in the BL world. Maybe they'll end up going that route? One doubts, but one hopes.

    Well, expectations are at zero, especially with Pitchford executive producing. And it's not like I need Borderlands movie. Hopefully it will be good.

    The leaked script roaming around uses names but basically has nothing to do with borderlands

    Oh dear.
    "A legendary thief named Lilith will be the protagonist in a new story that will include instantly recognizable faces, like the fan-favorite Claptrap. The movie will find Lilith in the Atlas Corporation space prison when the CEO gives her the chance to earn her freedom by rescuing his daughter, the foul-mouthed Tiny Tina, on the planet Pandora. The mission takes an unexpected turn when it becomes clear that the little girl is the key to unlocking a valuable alien vault that Atlas wants all for itself."

    That'll probably be the plot to the last DLC for 3.

    Whatever they have to do to undo why that plot doesn't work atm.

    To be fair, it makes more sense as a story, even if hackneyed Hollywood BS, than the actual plot of the first game.

    I'm very excited for a Lovecraftian themed DLC. Wainwright and Alistair are pretty swell dudes too.

    Should be a fun romp.

    Borderlands 3 available for purchase and pre-load on Steam.

    Nice healthy 50% discount for Steam launch. $30 for the base game, $50 for game & season pass.
