It was not an attack or even a critique on... anyone or anything. Not even a summed up conclusion on the game...
The carrot on a stick mechanic is used in so many games. So, instead of a 'carrot', I used 'carrots' hinting at the amount of weapons the player is rewarded with.
Christ... the ego on people these days.
And what's with the "BRIDE and accomplishment" conclusion in your post, btw. Does your character gets married at the end or what... ?!
Doing now my True Vault Hunter mode playthrough, at Mayhem 2. So much killing, so much looting, so much fun It's also fun to do some challenges with other people (those dungeons, trials and what not).
Question: is it still true that buying the game from EGS, installing it, and immediately refunding it results in a fully playable and free exe? I.e., can one pirate the game this way?
A hot fix is automatically applied at the Main Menu when Borderlands 3 is connected to the internet. In general, hot fixes are used to temporarily address issues between major updates. Hot fixes are not permanent – they are temporarily stored in memory during the game session and lost upon exiting Borderlands 3. To ensure that you receive hot fixes, make sure that your system is connected to the internet when Borderlands 3 boots up and hang out on the Menu screen for a minute.
Hot Fixes
September 19,2019
We are aware that the below list does not include issues that the community is immediately concerned with. We are hard at work evaluating performance problems and potential solutions for them. In the meantime, these are some balance updates that we can do quickly–
Bugs
Yellow paint has been added to Ambermire to mark a more obvious path to complete the Sabotage Crew Challenge.
The New-U Station in front of the Halcyon Suborbital Spaceport (used during the “Space-Laser Tag” Mission) in the Meridian Metroplex now has a larger activation range.
The New-U Station in front of Titian’s Gate (used during the “Atlas, At Last” Mission) in the Meridian Metroplex now has a larger activation range.
The first Guardian a player runs into during the “Beneath the Meridian” mission is no longer over-leveled.
The Eridian chest by the Grotto in the Jakob’s Estate is no longer invisible.
Balance
Eridium crystals in Voracious Canopy grow less frequently.
Scaled down the amount of loot drops in Mayhem Mode.
Torgue shotgun sticky damage has been reduced.
Reduced E-Tech shotgun elemental damage from “flesh off your bones” to “a lot”.
Chupacabratch dropped too much of his hard-earned loot.
Adjusted spawn rate of Loot Tinks in Mansion. They’re special again.
Removed pain-sounds from Troy for his boss fight.
Hotfixes are applied at the Game Menu when you start the game. To ensure that the hotfix has been applied, go to the in-game menu and see if “updates are available” showing.
Interesting way to do a hotfix where it is not a real downloaded patch but just loaded into the game memory each time it starts while connected online. Seems kind of pointless since if it really is a loot nerf then people would just run the game offline to not get that hotfix loaded into the game when they want to farm.
People literally complained that they were decked out after a day or two
I mean I don't give a fuck because I don't play this game for min/maxing like some people play these games
But plenty people apparently do and I get it - you wouldn't wanna finish the hardest difficulty on Diablo for the first time and have nothing left to do because you're geared to the max and one shot everything
It doesn't change code, they inject it into the memory directly.
Anyway, for the loot.
Yes, there were a lot of drops before, but most drops were either not "good", not better or just wrong for what you played as. So the chance of an upgrade was still quite rare. But it was there. Now it's like finding a needle in a haystack kind of situation, lol.
And the people who are "decked out", are the morons who abused a bug, killing a "loot tink" (think treasure goblin), that respawned way too often at the same location.
Instead of removing loot, just add higher difficulties, i.e. Mayhem 4-6 or whatever, so those who are "all decked out" have a new challenge.
Also, the top end items (anointed legendary, think super legendaries) are extremely rare, so now they are like impossible to get.

Wow..just wow.. this is some new level of scumbaggery from Randy the Cunt.
The real reason why they are doing this is they are afraid the game gets cracked soon.
And requiring internet and keeping patches\fixes in memory would render the cracked version unpatched and unfixed.
It's not code injection, it's just memory. It's probably indeed just tweaks to settings. They do this because it lets them change stuff, without having to touch the exe, which does require sony/ms to verify it first. And it's purely balancing stuff.
Also, I think they "readjusted" the loot rate again, because loot is better again. Less over the top as in the beginning, but way better, than yesterday.
I haven't really noticed that big of a difference in loot drops. Tried with a fresh character and still get a purple item here and there and occasional gold one.
If anyone has an issue with voice sound levels turn on surround sound in windows audio settings it fixes the bug with positional changes of volume when characters speak and are out of FOV.
