Over in the Spoiler’s section, I made a thread detailing my experience with the new Mayhem system and how I felt it compared to the old Mayhem system, and Borderlands 2 etc.
What has truly blown me away is just how great players are in the Borderlands community, especially when it comes to “difficulty”. The ease which players are able to roar through Mayhem 10 without a problem in the world has convinced me of 2 things:
1: I just suck at playing this game, and…
2: I don’t think it would matter if Gearbox made a Mayhem 50 mode with enemies having 65,000x health and armor, they would still be able to get through it with ease.
I truly thought Mayhem 10 would break people in here, but it’s just become a walk in the park for them. This has both humbled me, and shattered me at the same time.
I arrogantly stated that Mayhem 10 would be impossible, but seeing all the comments in here at how easy Mayhem 10 is, I truly don’t think any difficulty would bother them.
Mayhem 30= Enemies have 125,000x health and armor, all your weapons do 90% reduced damage.
Players in here be like: Easy as piss, just uploaded a vid to YouTube beating Wotan on Mayhem 30, only took me 6 minutes
Next challenge please!
You don’t suck…BL isn’t really a game of skill but a game of gear and (sometimes) exploits.
Most folks know the game to an extent where they can use mechanics (e.g. Amara Fakegrasp+Recursion+50 ASE Element) to make it thru with very little loot.
Other times, you never know who’s using Save Editors, Gibs, save files, modded weapons to speed up the process.
Just like OP levels, it’s a process but it’s definitely not impossible.
Make a moze. Get a good yellowcake with x2 and the 90 percent dmg to mobs over 90 hp. Wreck everything. Doing m10 cartel runs in 3-5 mins. Slaughter shaft on m10 is easy as heck. And I only played yesterday hadn’t logged on to this game since the handsome jackpot dlc.
for me, fl4k can do without modifiers and do great in M10 (previously blzaing through M4 with everybody except moze wich i don’t realy enjoy playing)
for zane and amara i go for increased weapon damage (flat or specific) on zane i also try to go for fire rate (works great with infinity) and amara, depends realy… elemental is great, currently build her around cryo damage (it’s like zane became a siren hahaha)
keep in mind, once you get to the top… everything below is boring (especialy now, seeing weapons scale up)
take your time, enjoy it… nobody is forcing you to play M10 right out of the gate
if you still feel you’re hitting a wall, i suggest playing with some friends (or making friends first hahaha) and trading you can also ask around on the forum (or anywhere else) for items you’re looking for.
so, all in all… just have fun the way YOU want don’t stare yourself blind on other people
