    I feel depressed playing B3 from day one . I couldn't find a single random player or group to play with , it took like 5 seconds in B2 to find full group over years.
    Edit: And then the story .

      The story is bad but I just got the game and it’s really not such a drag down. I really like the dlc as well but my main issues is the lack of raids or things to do with friends.

    I don't think it's fair to blame the reason people aren't playing bl3 just on the fact that there's no new content. DLC is expensive to make and Bl3 had a really good DLC cycle with alot of free content. It was always going to die down at this point, while all hands are on deck to make the next game.
    I think Bl3's issues are more to do with it's personal replayability with how it's story just has the player wait for a very long time to get to the next combat encounter. Other factors like abondance of legendary drops and not many endgame challenges outside of 2 takedowns and Hemovorous are also factors in this as well.
    Ik the comparison is a bit tired at this point but Bl2 still has it's audience and that's because of it's replayability and endgame loop.

      ​@@trickygaming3211 With how much part variance plays an impact in Borderlands 3 (Just look at Artifacts or Class Mods ffs), I'd probably argue that Save Editing would be worse there than in BL2, as the gap in power from rolls & the sheer quantity of rolls isn't really much of a thing in 2. 1/986,305,320 is quite literally the drop chance for rolling a class mod with all three of the passives you want, & assuming you want a skill roll of +5.

      @@trickygaming3211 By & large it isn't, but there's some weird outliers where gear can be downright undesirable if the skill rolls aren't there (or just some that outright depend on certain passive rolls like the Peregrine or Hustler where Splash Radius is pretty essential). You do get the odd class mod where skill rolls can be pretty flexible (See the Stone or Bounty Hunter, with the latter you could argue between if +3 The Most Dangerous Game for general damage or +5 Hunter's Eye for bossing is preferable, or hell even +5 Frenzy for pet builds as the Bounty Hunter also gives you a massive increase for your pet's V1 damage for whatever reason, & the former you could argue much the same but with +5 Do Harm vs +3 Awakening instead) or just downright irrelevant, like how the Executor's skill rolls mostly exist just so you can dump +5 free points into Cold Bore for FFYL (or whatever else in Zane's blue tree). If we're gonna keep the free skill point system alongside of limited skill points in a CoM for BL4, GBX should try going back to the drawing board with BL1's CoM system I feel. CoM effects being potentially a game-changer in a build was a great innovation in BL3, but everything else just ain't it.

That being said, most of my good gear I just duped in 2. And the only legendaries that drop a lot in borderlands 3 are the world drops, which most are absolutely horrible and not even worth picking up. All the good legendaries have significantly lower drop rates. I stopped playing the pre Sequel for that exact reason. It's no way to farm good gear unless you do the clap trap dlc and farm glitch weapons.

    The thing is, I don't think no borderlands fans want borderlands to be a live service game, which is exactly what you're suggesting. Comparing it to the likes of fortnite who gets weekly updates or destiny who is still rolling out $100 dlcs years later. It's exactly the same concept, As borderlands, 1, 2, an,d the pre sequel.

    I think it just comes down to the lifecycle of story driven games. Games like call of duty, Fortnite, and even Destiny 2 are constantly receiving updates because they are live service types of games, whereas borderlands follows the typical dlc season after release. I don’t think it was their intention to retain a massive player base 4 years after launch. Just to make enough profit from it to make the next one. Maybe one day we’ll get a live service type borderlands game but it would need a lot of tweaks to the gameplay and multiplayer aspect of the game, such as having a way to respawn enemies without save quitting and keeping the party connected while not in an in game environment.

    I don’t think the whole “most of the colors on my gun are orange their core the game is bad” argument make much sense unless shallow surface level presentation is all that matters to you. The bigger issue is that even though there are a lot more variety of end rarity loot, the variety within that loot is much weaker. Theirs 7 legendary Dahl assault rifles in B3, compared to just the Veruc in B2. But the strength of those 7 B3 assault rifle are a lot higher in raw stats then the legendary, but you not finding much difference from one Warlord to the next Warlord. Once you have a Warlord theirs not much reason to care about another Dahl assault rifle. In B2 if you didn’t like the Veruc, well their still the E-tech and rare Dahl assault rifles and their much closer to the Veruc in power so theirs that interest in looking for more drops. B3 loot is so dominated by the power of its legendary that it restricts the game a lot more even if their more variety in that color range. Compared to B2 yes some legendary were super dominant cough *conference call* cough cough , but it was no where as big of a problem as B3.
    Now this isn’t explicitly about the Veruc and Warlord, or Dahl assault rifle or weapons but B3 weapons over all.

    I work in game development and to create content such as DLC, extended campaigns, etc. takes A LOT of time, money, and effort. At the end of the day this is a business and comparing live service games and Call of Duty to something like BL3 is just naive and uninformed. Most boxed AAA products have a content roadmap that extends beyond the initial release. BL3 had several DLC releases and content drops post-launch that were fairly well received. To expect a studio to continue to create content several years post release while simultaneously working on new projects like TTW2 and BL4 makes zero sense.

I don’t believe most games need that kind of player count years after launch. I’d rather BL3 have quality content (which I believe it does for the most part) than have meaningless content you see in other games just to keep people playing & paying.

    I perfer BL method of content releases. Free to play games often have quantity over quality with new releases.
    Bl series is similar to the Monster series with content updates.
    The developers support their game for about 2 to 3 years, then move onto to work on more ambitious projects.
    From a streamer perspective, you would want the game to be adding meaningful for basically every few months for more video content
    However, this method has it's drawbacks as well such as weaker content quality, developers rushing content to keep up with the release cycle, developer burnout, financially demanding, and more monetization on the players behalf.
    Grass is not always greener. Also, every game does not need to be a live service or last forever.

    BL3 doesn’t have replayability they force you to play on mayhem levels 2-9 with those annoying mayhem modifiers on which sucks and ruins the fun. Mayhem 1 is way to easy and mayhem 11 is good but you can’t gradually increase the difficulty and enjoy the ride if Gearbox would fix this then I would be coming back to the game more often. Also Legendary guns drop at such a high rate and don’t feel as rewarding they are the most common item in the game actually and the other rarities aren’t even viable options on mayhem 11 BL3 just feels broken and unbalanced.

    Probably because there are hundreds of games, and people only have a limited amount of time. But the vast amount of arms in this game, is kind of fustrating.. The management of the weapons becomes crazy and Gearbox did a crap job helping with this (500 slots with no search just finding things becomes argh). Stupid sounds in the background that play over and over and over when you are trying to concentrate on something. Gearbox did not develop this game to be played for years, hopefully with BL4 they will cut the crap and consider people might play for years.

    I played bl3 on ps4 cause I cant afford to just spend money on a ps5 and from the start it wasn't the best to play with lag, long load times and such which affected my enjoyment but it has been improves since then but mainly the game feels repetitive with speaking to lilith every two minutes and with the amount of legendary I can get in a playthrough makes the joy of finding new weapons less enjoyable and the story is by far the worst part of it killing off aurelia and maya my two favorite characters in the whole franchise makes me not want to play it. Its a good game and I do enjoy it alot dont get me wrong but having a rocky start and the story being bad alongside easy and repetitive gameplay makes it easy to get bored of in my opinion. And having no dlc vault hunters sucks as well cause I loved gaige and krieg in 2 and aurelia and Jack in the pre sequel.

I was annoyed grinding an entire week for the legendary that I wanted to drop only for it to be not a version that I want. Towards the point a good amount of my legendaries only came from people duplicating them for me. Borderlands 3 drops are just as satisfactory because the only loot that drops a "lot" are world drops, and a lot of them are bad.

    Your reasoning is more "why are people preferring live-service content over single player" Borderlands has co-op but its core has always been optimised builds and looting for individual saves.
    So when you compare the content of BL3 to other shooters, you need to look at similar games that don't have PvP multiplayer formats.
    For me it simply is a lack of replayability compared to predecessors, bad writing, and too many world drops over dedicated farming.

      The borderlands franchise as a whole never had good story. Sure it had a lot of LORE which is often spread out through side quest and echo logs which can enhance the over all experience of the games story. But the individual main story of each game has never ever been special whatsoever. The best story oriented borderlands game is the pre sequel. That's only because each individual character you play has has a different dialogue that affects what the main story character says. While games like 1 and 2 the characters don't talk at all outside of combat, echo logs.

    Borderlands 3 failed in a few key areas that impact replayability, which is why I think it didn't retain players as well as its previous titles.
    The game was very poorly balanced - I'm talking killing the hardest bosses with 1 grenade just because of how broken a lot of their weapons were.
    Loot was just way too overkill - which removed the satisfaction of loot from the game. Legendary items in borderlands 3 basically have the same drop rate as a white item in borderlands 2. They need to focus more on the details of weapons / making cool weapons again - not just trying to have "a billion guns". They tunnel visioned so hard on the 1 billion guns number that a lot of their weapon changes in borderlands 3 just felt cheap / a lot of weapons just end up feeling like they are generated by a weak AI software.
    They also need to scale back the loot so that loot feels rewarding / impactful again, and balance the weapons a lot more effectively so that the game is actually challenging.
    Chasing rare legendary weapons / fighting epic bosses / replaying a challenging story is what kept borderlands 2 going for such a long time.
    If they get those key aspects right, I think borderlands 4 could be great.

And you want to talk about game imbalance, why is it that the meta weapons in borderlands 2 consisted of the same like 15 weapons. And it's only the world drops in borderlands. 3 that drop a lot on mayhem 10 or 11 and a lot of them are trash. Dedicated drops still keep their same drop rates.

    I love borderlands 1, 2 and 3, but I just don’t think borderlands can ever compete with destiny. Borderlands was great when it was the only looter shooter on the market. But from an unbiased standpoint, I can’t see any reason to play borderlands long term over destiny except for destiny’s price. Borderlands end game has ALWAYS been terrible imo, farming bosses to kill those same bosses slightly faster ?? Or grinding non stop for new builds to just kill mobs in the same TTK as your old build but with a different colour explosion. I’m good, I’ll put my time farming weapons I can use in PvP where it actually matters to mini max. I’ve never been able to put more than 2-3 days of gameplay on my character till I get bored.
