Borderlands 4 info coming to PAX WEST in a few days on Aug 30th 2024, so hyped...
But lowering my expectations a little as borderlands 3 wasn't as good as borderlands 2, don't get me wrong I loved BL3 but it was missing a great story, a good villain, thing didn't make sense, like that child brat being given sanctuary, like how do you leave a child responsible and in charge of a full ship and crew of people was absurd to me. Tannis or moxxxi would of been better to take charge. No invincible bosses/secret invincible boss on release of the game, no ultimate vault hunter mode. No pearlulecent guns, slightly too many legendary guns, Could not find many people to play BL3 with through the online multiplayer matchmaking system, while in borderlands 2 I could find lots of people to play with. I still loved BL3 but played way less than I did in borderlands 2.
All in all I think Borderlands 4 should have.
(All great things that made BL3 Great
A. Co-operative loot (every body gets there own loot)
B. Buying character cosmetics from Earl with Eridium
C. Badass rank with badass perks again, they were great to grind and get, to make yourself stronger. Also bring back the badass XP bar for Leveling up to character max level and then when u hit max Lv you get a slight boost to your badass rank levelling up, it kept the fun and grind going...
D. Anointments on guns but only drop on purple guns on 2nd playthrough TVHM 5% chance, 3rd playthrough UVHM 10% chance and drops on legendary's,
Mayhem mode 1-2 =15% chance and drops on pearlescent guns. Mayhem mode 3-4 =30% chance, 5-6=45%, 7-8=60% 9-10 =75% chance.)
1. Great Story
2. Great Villain
3. Great Writing and humour (But not cheesy and bad humour)
4. 2nd playthrough True Vault Hunter mode which makes more enemies spawn & badasses spawn as true badasses, much harder to kill (New legendary's drop from true vault hunter mode)
5. 3rd play through Ultimate Vault Hunter mode which makes even more enemies spawn & true badasses spawn as Ultimate badasses, much much harder to kill (New legendary's drop from Ultimate vault hunter mode)
6. Mayhem modes 1-10 with each 2 levels of mayhem 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, dropping 1 new good legendary to grind for.
7. Pearlulecent Guns (Only dropped at End game from Invincible bosses. And have only 1 of everything as they are Super Duper Ultimate RARE, 1x Pearluecent = pistol, smg, assault rifle, sniper, rocket launcher. and to keep legendary's valid and usable have it so the player can only equip 1 pearlescent gun on the character at a time.
(Want to put on another? take off the pearl gun u have equipped)
8.More Currency's and uses for currency. Having legendary shards for legendary gun and Moon stones for pearlescent guns drop from enemies now and then to use them in bulk to re-roll anointments on them in very late endgame. (Note only re-roll guns with anointments on them, cannot change an anointment on gun that dosent have anointment on it.)
9. Invincible bosses (Like Terrormophis in BL2) and there drops. Invincible boss or bosses in main end game should cost to fight them like 150 Eridium, and they should drop eridium=20-25 bars, 2 legendary shards, 1 Moon stone, 7% chance of Legendary dedicated drop, 3% chance of Pearlecent gun.
(Note: this means with how anointed guns work from above to get a 15% chance of an anointed pearl gun u need to be on Mayhem mode 1, so the invincible boss has 150% health not just 100%. So if you want that better weapon u gonna have to kill that more invincible++ boss.
Invincible bosses you could have that we haven't had:
Son/Daughter of Terrormophis, (Scag)(Rakk hive)(Spiderant)(Mothrakk)(Jabber)(Kraggon)(Scaylion)(Ratch)(Saurian)(Wolven) the invincible. So many to choose from that we haven't had yet... Plus you could have a Human invincible like BL2's Hyperius, Gee, and Pyro Pete.
10. Little Less legendarys, LET ME EXPLAIN. We want plenty of dedicated drops unique, rare, and legendary, but not too many at the cost of the game, (Borderlands 3 had lots and lots of legendary dedicated drops, but it had not a lot of end game grind/content not right away at launch anyway, BL3 had no pearlescent guns or invincible bosses, and we wanted stuff that we were not strong enough to do, so we could get stronger and come back to complete/defeat bosses or quests for even better loot.
We don't want rubbish legendarys that are never used by anyone, thats time/effort that could of been spent making something we do like and will use.
11. Better multiplayer online matchmaking system, as I couldn't find lots of people to play with on BL3, but could on BL2 so I don't know if theres an issue there or something. BL2 had a match making screen of online players, while correct me if if wrong but BL3 did not, it would just find someone and join instantly, even if u didn't want to join that person, also the region thing N America, Europe, Asia, Oceanic. No ALL Regions Tab, so that would be nice quality of life. (FYI my internets fine, great even, so its not that)
12. Better multiplayer connection/connection to servers, borderlands 3 suffered from really bad lag while in vehicles, borderlands 2 had no lag in vehicle. So Please fix this!
13. Power Scaling on action skills/characters: Power scaling was needed a little in BL2 like 5% for TVHM and 10% for UVHM because things like axtons turret got destroyed instantly by invincibles, so his offensive skills were useless, because he did more damage/fire rate with turret active, and sirens phazelock should not stop its duration/activation if she goes down in fight for you life like it did in BL2, I think they fixed that in Bl3, not sure let me know.
Anywho in BL3 Power scaling was to much, they needed to tone it down a little because its way too easy in BL3. PS, I know getting a balance is hard for devs.
14. New badass perks/rewards and more balanced badass perks/rewards
Dead man walking > while not moving in fight for your life your meter drains 50% more slowly. < Should be 30%.
chain that with
Too angry to die > damage dealt while in fight for your life restores your meter, amount is decreased over time. < should decrease a little quicker.
and you become a god that nobody can kill. This is why you needed invincibles in BL3.
Don't get me wrong Badass perks are awesome, I love them and fans do too, I hope there in BL4, they are a great reason for players to keep playing the game and grow stronger and stronger for harder modes and invincibles.
But we need more badass perks/rewards, we got a 2nd page about less than 9 months of the game releasing but they only put 3 perks/rewards on there when they could of put 18 more on page 2, that would of been a perfect amount for us to keep grinding for, Buffs, abilitys, cosmetics.
For example theres no bullet speed, explosive damage or elemental resistance in BL3 Badass stats.
for 2nd page I would do:
(Enforcer Survivor Hunter)
Skin, Skin, Skin
10% Bullet speed, 5% explosive damage, 5% elemental resistance.
Perk, Perk, Perk
Slam radius 30%, 20% slide increase, 10% gun accuracy.
Perk, Perk, Perk
Jade green Gem Gun Skin, Ruby red Gem Gun Skin, Amethyst purple Gem Gun Skin.
Do 25% more damage to Invincibles, Gain 1.5 seconds duration to action skill, Gain 1 Skill point.
These final perk/rewards on these Enforcer, Survivor, Hunter will get the player to grind and play more and have fun on future borderlands games, but you really need to fix your matchmaking on BL4.
Remember you can individually turn any of these perks Off if it interferers with your Build/Character Setup.
15. Elemental effects are too Big, when theres lots of things going on it covers a lot of the screen and especially the enemies you are trying to shoot,
so it needs turning down at least 50% so I can see what I'm shooting.
16. Normal siren again, no more siren melee class.
Amara was different, but not many people liked her as a melee vault hunter class.
17. 2nd game pass for 4 more campaign DLC's
I loved the Campaign DLC's in borderlands 3 and wanted 4 more, but we got a skill tree for every character and vault card instead.
that was different but I would like to play the campaigns w friends or randoms if possible, if you sort your online matchmaking out.
18. Bring back new vendors like seraph vendor in BL2 and mr tongue legendary vending machine, we like finding new builds, new ways too play, and a pearlescent vendor (Not Anointed) in season pass DLC's only would be cool (Not Main game) and to buy them you would need to grind a new currency (Like Moon stones).
Season pass no2 could have 4 more campaign DLC's and have a vendor for Effervescent items, farming effervescent crystals to buy them.
Note: this Doesn't take away from farming for these rarities, just another way to get them or different/new unique ones.
19. Better balanced anointments on guns, every body goes for the high damage ones, and never the accuracy and handling one.
less damage on anointments and mix it up with, resistance, bullets speed, elemental damage, more shields capacity, more health capacity, fire rate, accuracy, slam damage/radius. Basically balanced for builds of all four characters.
20. Takedowns and raids
I would love to see takedowns and raids alongside invincibles, take a page out of Destiny the game. but don't make it boring...
Your free to agree or disagree with anything above.
leave a reply if u feel different about something or your hyped as much as I am.
