I'm kind of interested in picking this up at some point, but I'm worried about the end-game. What's the grind like? Are the drop-rates more reasonable than they were in Borderlands 2? Have they said anything about the potential for another UVHM? UVHM turned me right the gently caress off last time around, I just really hope it doesn't end up being a grindy snooze-fest like it was before.

So far the scaling is a lot better. No word of a UVHM mode or not, but I'd doubt it given how negatively a lot of people view it. Drop rates are way better; you see a decent amount of blues and purples from drops and as the Item of the Day in vendors, and legendaries are semi-frequent too (enough that you can grind vendors by checking them then quitting and reloading if they don't have a legendary).

Well that's good to hear, I might end up picking this up later. The drop-rates and the late-game scaling were the only complaints I had with BL2, but they were big complaints.

Honestly with how powerful I feel right now I say "bring the UVHM". Also aren't some of the DLCs going to include Level Cap increases? That implies a UVHM to me.

That's kind of what I was thinking after I grinded up a bit on TVHM in BL2. And then they just gave everybody quadruple the health and made slag more or less mandatory. :(

Is it true that there isn't slag in the pre-sequel? I hated that mechanic.

edit: answered my own question. There isn't, thank god

Yeah, the closest thing to slag is cryo, which is also much better than slag overall.

Cryo owns because they can't shoot you if they're frozen solid.

I consider a cryo Oz kit to be one of the most useful pieces of equipment because of this.

The drop rates are only better with regards to the items of the day in the stores. As far as can tell, the poo poo you that drops from enemies and chests is just as lovely. Whites and greens 95% of the time. They added a grinder and special chests that makes things a bit better though.

Even at 50 bosses drop legendaries that are 48-49 :( This was only with 2 players, maybe it would be best to run with 4

Just use the save editor to level them up. Save yourself the headache.

I'm still using the cathartic oz kit, because I am apparently still a child and it amuses me every time.

Many goons are in fact really dumb sadly

Watch how many go "well ANY Co - op game can be fun " as a reason as to why they don't want to play a given Co op game with friends.
