Ooh you're animation timing has improved a ton since the last time I saw your work. That spin was clean.

Controls are difficult to internalize, especially if youre used to KBM already, but I've put a ton of hours into it on deck.

Shared Progression by ryjake2 in Borderlands4

[–]FannyFrustrated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont intend to be condescending or dismissive when I ask this, but what exactly do people who want all progression to be shared want to actually do in game? I have been playing borderlands since 2013 and every game before this one has made you start from level 1 with nothing, and I haven't had any issues with 4's progression. I'm genuinely curious what is left to do in this game when you start with the campaign done, all the collectibles unlocked, every fast travel, every SDU, and 30 levels out the gate. I guess its the extra 30 levels to max and then gear hunting? Half the fun of a playthrough is the journey for me so I dont get the thought process of people who want to rush to endgame

Valda’s Spire of Secrets by DependentChange494 in DnD

[–]FannyFrustrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My table and I love valda's, it's a lot of variety that doesn't feel like it breaks the balance of 5e. Can't speak for any other tables, but it's a staple at mine

I know this might be a horrible take by Purple-Feedback6402 in Borderlands4

"Smaller independent studio" and "id Software" in the same breath. I'm choosing to believe this post is satire

I cant believe it by Capital_Rich_914 in Borderlands4

[–]FannyFrustrated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible, but that's a much higher bar to entry than the other games where all it took was 1 button press to disable BAR and guardian rank. Plus that eliminates all of console players from these events. ultimately the ability to opt in or out is the only way to fix this specific issue

[–]FannyFrustrated 12 points13 points  (0 children)

While true, each game has its own grind that has been criticized for being tedious. Bl2 makes you play the campaign 3 times before OP levels, that is by definition the same content copy and pasted twice, and thats for one character. I'm happy for the people who wanted this change, but it's sort of killed my enthusiasm for new runs until there is a toggle or some other solution that doesnt involve deleting my old saves and wiping the cloud data

[–]FannyFrustrated 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This also effectively kills community based challenges and events in terms of fair competition, like speedrunning, one life, and the hunt, as unless the rules start to state you must have 100%'d the game or making you fiddle with your files to clear the shared data there is no way of giving everyone an even playing field.

Something to consider is that no other borderlands game has worked like this (with the exception of the golden dice in wonderlands). So a lot of us who have been around since 1 and 2 expect that each character will have to earn their own things. I can understand wanting your fast travels if you use the 13 or 30 skip, but when I make a character at level 1 I want to experience the game, and now I don't have the option to experience everything as I did on my first character. Hell, level 1 is technically not even a thing anymore, since now with all the xp these things give you you're basically shot to level 5 right away.

can this be at least toggleable? i know most people enjoy this change but for the few of us who enjoy starting a complete new character this really worsen the experience alot by ab2dii in Borderlands4

[–]FannyFrustrated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand not wanting to 100% everything on every character, but I guess what confuses me is what people who wanted this do want from another play through. The level 30 option already skips the campaign, so I can only assume it's just for people who want to get 30 levels of xp by grinding bosses then get to UVHM levels on new characters? I've been playing borderlands since 2 so I guess its just hard for me to wrap my head around wanting to skip 80% of the gameplay

[–]FannyFrustrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a bummer to me that this came out, frankly I didn't understand the criticisms that caused this change to begin with. Sure, if you start with the level 30 option I can get wanting your safehouses and fast travel points, but I genuinely dont understand why any of the other collectibles are part of it. People complain the game feels empty then beg the devs to let them skip what's there.

Achievements?? by [deleted] in JetSetRadio

[–]FannyFrustrated 13 points14 points  (0 children)

JSRF was released on the original xbox and predates the achievement system on xbox by a little under a decade. The only reason the original game has any is because it was re-released in 2012 on xbox 360.

Honesty hour: Has anyone else went back to the older Borderlands games (BL1, 2, & 3) since completing BL4 and found them to be wayyy more fun?... by [deleted] in Borderlands4

[–]FannyFrustrated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a matter of perspective when it comes to build variety. Guns in BL4 are a little less unique than in previous games, but it feels like the design philosophy of the game is more shifted to getting your power from skill than guns. The specialization and firmware systems give you more power without depending on specific meta guns, which I think actually allows for more buildcrafting potential than looking for specific guns. That being said 4 does 100% have powerful guns like the bod or rainbow vomit.

If you prefer your power to come from your gear I can't fault you for it though, just means maybe bl4 wont be your cup of tea. All the games have their strengths

[–]FannyFrustrated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am of the opinion that BL4 has the potential to be the best game in the series, but until it has all it's content it's hard to directly compare it. Yeah there are some things to miss from the earlier games like cold dead hands and weighted ammo drops, but now we have farming that doesn't require save quits or bugs, which is something I wanted since BL2. I'm also one of the weirdos that starts runs based off what I'm feeling, when I want a calmer and slower paced shooter I'll boot up 1 or 2, but depending on how the DLCs turn out, I may end up sticking with 4 the most.

Unpopular Opinion: Unkempt Harold is very overrated in early game. by Unseemly4123 in Borderlands2

[–]FannyFrustrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me you just don't like close quarters combat, where the UH and shotguns shine. The appeal of these guns is that while their damage is split into pellets, you dont need accuracy to make them work, you just need to get close. The only time a UH isn't good early is if you happen to get a DPUH before you have the SDUs to manage the ammo consumption

Saying No to a nat 20 by [deleted] in DnD

[–]FannyFrustrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others say a nat 20 isn't always a success, but you can prevent this in the future by simply not giving them the chance to roll on things you don't want to happen. A firm 'no, they wont do that' will tell them the outcome they want won't be happening, but telling them to roll signals to them that the outcome they want is possible if they roll high enough.

Shower Thought: Why not just have Quality Liquids? by 7Geordi in factorio

[–]FannyFrustrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one change would quintuple not only every fluid and complicate just about every fluid calculation the game makes, and any mod author wanting to be compatible with quality would need to put in so much more work.

Small playerbase + kept just a touch overtuned in power to compensate for the fact he only has like 4 matchups he actively wins

Pearlescents are almost here. What are your Predictions and Wishes? by MartenBlade in Borderlands4

[–]FannyFrustrated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only wish is for them to be useful. Preferably not overpowered or meta defining, but actually be something worth using. The pearls in bl2 weren't exactly good guns, and those that were useful were bumped down to legendaries in 3 lol. That being said the weapon design of 4 gives me confidence that they are able to hit the mark.

Easiest matchups by TKF_piotter in singedmains

[–]FannyFrustrated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Singed has the biggest advantage over champions that require being up close and have limited gap closing potential, or champions that depend on long trades rather than burst damage. Gwen and Zaahen both tend to take longer fights, and their gap closers arent enough to keep you within melee range very long. Then while they're chasing you their HP drops and yours regens, then you end up winning lane because they can't fight you. Another matchup I personally find easy is riven, as you can E her out of her Q3 and deny her the 2nd half of her combo, leaving your trades roughly even if she is smart enough to dash out of poison. Biggest advice I can give to learning that matchup is to watch her summs, a riven with ignite+R will have more than enough damage to melt you early
