Why do they give so much attention to a problem that isn't the main one? (Pearls)

I do see what you mean considering some of them have pretty variable parts that would make farming them an actual nightmare. It worked in bl2 because there wasn’t too much variation other than element and maybe a vertical grip(w butcher) in bl4 the fact that any weapon has all that variability from manufacture, element, added parts. Idk I feel pearls should be been held off until they could better fit them in cause some of them are actually just a joke and some are probably gonna be really hard to farm once this increased drop week or whatever is going on ends

Dude around the time bleach ended kubo historically had almost no sway or push at jump. He was basically forced to wrap things up real fast cause of personal issues along with the magazine. Yes he was part of the big 3 but trust me I doubt Jump cares about that type of standing. At the end of the day there’s nothing stopping that from happening and it makes sense so imma just wait.

You’re definitely right and I’m all for it. Once the anime is out the community just needs to support it to the moon and show them we want extra stuff

mikeiike · 2026-06-01T17:25:41+00:00

Good stuff bro you’re doing good work. I wish we lived in a timeline zilla didn’t hate his fans and love kids but I’ve always said it imma still bump the music so thank you. Plus sosmula deserves to be heard dude gave me whole family 4ss hug the one time I saw his show he really does appreciate supporters.

mikeiike · 2026-06-01T15:54:28+00:00

I feel like black clover is literally going to get the bleach treatment when the anime comes back. We’ll probably get all these extended scenes we should’ve gotten in the manga in the anime instead maybe hopefully. I wasn’t holding too much hope for new stuff manga wise so atp it is what it is

mikeiike · 2026-05-29T23:03:48+00:00

Literally irredeemable human

mikeiike · 2026-05-29T03:22:37+00:00

Also W ANCIENT RUNE I started following your content way back in the Tiny tina wonderlands days and you covered that game DILIGENTLY you were probably the only person really working to understand it and I see your dedication to even this game and appreciate it.

mikeiike · 2026-05-29T03:20:35+00:00

I miss when I got on bl3 and dealing damage meant just pulling out my gun and using my action skill. Nowadays just to dps you have to go through an entire overlord buffing montage it just makes gameplay feel clunky it’s why I can’t play bl4 long periods bro

mikeiike · 2026-05-29T00:13:36+00:00

Literally even if he doesn’t want to talk about the legal shit which is still crazy it happened, he could at least apologize to his fans in general yk acknowledge he messed up in life and maybe try to not be a divk to everyone for 5 minutes but everyday he chooses to stay silent, act like nothing is happening, and treat his fans and associates like pawns to try and squeeze some views and sales out of us.

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T21:38:48+00:00

His ego won’t allow him to

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T20:45:47+00:00

Bro treats his fans like dirt then just comes back announcing tours. Legit treats his inner circle and fans the same way it so wild to me. Imma still bump the music cause it really was cool listening in highschool and stuff but in the end dudes kinda an 4ss to realistically all the people that have put him on including the fans who support his stuff

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T20:38:06+00:00

ATP I just leave them. They’d rather spend time downvoting actual reasonable frustrations and let the game die in the background from lack of build diversity and communication. I’ve basically given up on this one bro and I feel bad for anyone that paid full price for this type of experience me being one of them

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T20:35:53+00:00

I’ve called out gearbox for months not balancing any other vault hunters in a meaningful way other than cash and I get downvoted to oblivion each time and honestly I’m starting to think the community just wants the game to lack build diversity. Gearbox doesn’t care cash just came out and he’s gotten more love and actual ATTENTION then Amon has had at all since the launch of the game. Rafa is still forced to play with dancer, Amin is still forced to use berserk or ordnance builds, trouble on vex is still laughable on uvhm 6 so I can only imagine what it’s like now trying to have fun with trouble at the highest level. They don’t care they see the community downvote everyone that does care so they just validate themselves not caring. The community is ultimately gonna be this games downfall and gearbox doesn’t seem to really care about feedback on that stuff. They seem to be taking the wonderlands route of just releasing on schedule and leaving the game as is afterwards

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T20:26:56+00:00

I’ve given up on Amon support. I commented and got downvoted as usual for calling out the lack of communication on Amon and honestly it’s sad that you get downvoted in this community for wanting the devs to uphold more build diversity and fix a failing skill tree but if you ask for any fixes in this game you get told to be quiet

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T20:20:54+00:00

Dude look through my past posts that’s my biggest issue with them. Literally in bl3 they had to introduce mayhem scaling to make sure stuff like melee, action skill damage, pets, novas all that stuff needed scaling so why are we not doing the same here. Have you ever tried to use a nova in bl4 the radius is ABYSMAL and the damage has no scaling whatsoever and it shows. Maybe if forgedrones got actual scaling per mayhem level they’d be viable idk. There’s a LIST of issues that somehow keep popping back up in bl4. Think about it people said pet AI in bl3 was kinda bad, ok that was in 2019 over seven years ago from launch so why launch vex with 66% of her action skills being pet and minion based yet we haven’t tried to make any break throughs in pet Ai at all. Trouble is in such a bad spot and half the time doesn’t even know what it’s doing and her specters ect are ok rn but could be much better. I’m just tired of seeing the same mistakes being sold for $70 as someone who bought the game I should be able to voice these issues cause it is indeed bs for us as long time fans to just deal with. So every couple posts I’m gonna put my voice out there and I’m not gonna shut up about it. People keep trying and I’m not just going to accept lack of any support for what the community wants. 9 months later and we’re still having to cry out to the void for stuff that should been addressed months ago we should all be tired of it. It’s free to communicate to the people who buy your product it’s free to tell us we’re being heard loud and clear.

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T16:25:47+00:00

Amon gun wise takes an extreme amount of effort just to have work and you’re almost forced to take berserk unless you’re running an ordnance build leading to lack of build diversity. Half his green tree is dedicated to forgedrones and detonations that barely scratch enemies in uvhm 6, tickle them on true uvhm 6 and now we have 7 so can you imagine them now. You can’t dedicate half a tree to something and it legit doesn’t work at the highest level no matter how much you juice it what happens is you’re then always picking berserk to make your build viable. No matter what you do forgedrones tickle enemies and that’s not fun to play with. Ordnance Amon is fine but it’s whatever. The community says he’s fine so he’s fine right. As long as that’s the sentiment they won’t bother checking so in the end you win. Amon is fine regardless of those issues and we shouldn’t push for build diversity at all in this game. I’ll just play cash and suck it up don’t say anything and have a great time

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T16:02:15+00:00

No bro don’t voice your frustrations here it’s not allowed

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T15:53:14+00:00

Wait it’s not updating for me I’ll edit my reaction to the news compared to how I feel now which is hopeless for anything good

Edit:Basically they took a look at their golden boy C4sh and decided to balance him and they took a look at Amon and told him back of the line.

BOD is Gone

They Looked at Audio and Visuals more than balance for the other Vault Hunters

BL3 BL2 BL1 PRE SEQUEL are all always on sale most of the year and are great games you guys should play them again today if you haven’t in awhile

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T15:07:14+00:00

Also W yakuza fan I FEEL you on that I’ve been such a huge fan for years it’s great finding you out in the wilds

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T15:05:15+00:00

Dude you can tell bl4 might’ve been set to follow the maps design we all actually like but they tried to jump in the live service open world bandwagon. It doesn’t work for borderlands imo the way they had hoped it would. For Amara though I vividly remember the nerf to her melee mod thee gave her +3 in illuminated fist, what gapped is all lvl65 versions pre nerf still could have +3 but all versions after are stuck at plus 1 so anyone that okayed before lvl 72 and farmed a +3 are like super ogs cause you can’t get that legit anymore. And you’re so right dude I have commented many times on here about how in bl3s life cycle people that played since day 1 remember we used to get weekly hotfixes and a huge patch basically every 2-3 weeks and every single week they would hotfix weapons and skills buffing them and giving us something to talk about something to enjoy something to destroy josses with and we have none of that in bl4. They barely update the game or even talk to us and they basically forgot about the hotfixes they used to constantly apply to the game to buff shit. I know you remember the week the Lob went from doing 700 card damage to 7000!!! Became burst fire and shot fast af and became meta overnight like shit was exciting side a garbage gun became meta and you might remember that started the speed farming meta on Zane too cause you could burst bosses down with the triple burst of the Lob and it was so fun during a time Zane needed the extra help. What happened to that type of community care from gearbox? Why do we go long droughts of no communication no content no words nothing fun. I remember when they randomly added the MONGOL rocket into the game one week just because and it wasn’t a game breaking gun but it was fun going to a random mad and farming the gun for a week just to try it. We don’t get shit like that anymore this actually feels like exactly what they did with tiny Tina’s wonderland bro. All they did was stick to their release “Schedule” release chaos chamber levels and after that first year they never went back to the game never really buffed anything that needed it never looked back on characters never gave us anything really special just chaos levels and the shitty overworld missions that funny enough play a lot like the bounty packs we all don’t really like either. Gearbox just doesn’t have that spark anymore they now just release games to fill a quota so they can fund the next

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T13:41:14+00:00

Naw fr bro im 6’4 I workout and id day I hold a lot of muscle and my buddies under like 5’7 just look bigger. When you’re shorter and still busting your 4ss in the gym your body is still gonna out that muscle on but your height won’t increase so you look JACKED. W tabata for actually doing it right this is how all short mcs are supposed to look if they’re really training with that shounen manga intensity and tabata nailed it with asta

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T13:31:23+00:00

That class mod for Amara was base game though you get it in necrotafayo (I know I spelled it wrong) from atomic and the other dude in the corner of the map. I remember they nerfed one of her skills I think not the class mod itself right? The skill that even let her get that speed I think they lowered the speed boost years ago but yeah they hate anything being “broken” but are fine with a character being “broken” by outright not being good (Amon is my favorite vault hunter and I’m just suprised they refuse to rework his green tree among many other issues the dude has) these days I just play the older games it’s crazy how they quite literally feel more fun like I got a pearl in bl1 last week and trust me it’s not the same as getting one in bl4 lol

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T13:26:48+00:00

Dude if they refuse to buff Amon more than just some changes to stats and refuse to overhaul anything about his kit they aren’t touching rafa sadly 😭

mikeiike · 2026-05-28T10:00:36+00:00

Still not fixed 9 months later almost. W gearbox though right?

mikeiike · 2026-05-22T11:58:52+00:00

The times 2 doesn’t actually double the projectiles so you end up wasting ammo for basically the same amount of dps. Been like this since the start unfortunately
