Yesterday, the drop-rates of legendary items in the game’s newly added Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode was severely lowered. Gearbox Software’s community manager responded earlier today that the loot tables are currently being worked on but this code wasn’t meant to go live yet. As such, the lowered drop-rates has since been removed from the game. Gearbox's official statement follows. "We’re always looking at balance tweaks on our internal server. Unfortunately a test string went live before it was ready and has since been pulled down."
This seems to imply while the code that lowered the change of finding legendary gear from Loot Midgets inside “Borderlands 2” might have been an accident for now, it seems that the developer is currently testing and looking at a permanent lowered change to find decent gear.
Gearbox Software discusses Borderlands 4 for Nintendo Switch 2, covering co-op, movement upgrades, and seamless world design.
I like what they say here...And the graphics on the gameplay shown are insane!
"The Nintendo Switch 2 has been a joy to work with. It's VERY POWERFUL. It's an incredible machine in a very tight form factor."
"We don't feel like we're fighting the system. We feel like's the system's empowering us to make the best version of Boderlands 4 we can."
Cancer patient Caleb McAlpine has received VIP treatment from Gearbox Software, following official acknowledgement of his story.
Gearbox has a lot of problems, but one thing they’ve consistently done right is showing appreciation for their fans. Immortalizing Michael Mamaril in the second game was genuinely cool and so is this.
I remember rockstar doing the same thing with red dead 2 I think, that's dope, also shows that us guys just want to sit back have a great time on gems we enjoy
Good thing they went the extra mile and flew him out. We all know about Randy and his love of webcams.
"gets actually" is now acceptable, and published? Wow! Actually gets, is how it should read. I have been reading more and more stories everywhere that are grammatical incorrect. BTW, I thank God for spell check. My spelling is awful. Great news though!
Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."
Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse
It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.
I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.
well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain
I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.
Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.
Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)
So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.
Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).
it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game
but we'll see soon
Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.
I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.
I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.
Decreased?
What are they stupid?
Increase them dont decrease them

I think I might be done now. Just silly decisions. And now with one of the bigger problems people spoke out about, they go the complete opposite direction. lol don't even know what to think. This isn't even a competitive game. Its coop.
The original game's loot gave me much more of a sense of reward. I could get online and invite a couple friends to my game and we knew that by the time we were done playing for the day we would have found at least one weapon/shield superior to the one which we were using when we started. That kept us going back to Borderlands long after the final DLC was released.
In Borderlands 2, we went days without finding an item that was substantially better than one we currently had equipped. I put the game in and play off and on for about a week each time new content is released, but I'm the only one in my group of friends that has played the game since the first DLC was released.
For someone who only plays single player this is annoying considering I have only 1 orange shield and 1 orange weapon. Both are pretty crappy too...
