It’s a boldface lie. It’s no better than the old M4, and maybe even worse. There may be more anointments, but it’s not > 3x, which is what is being advertised.

Played 2 days on mayhem 6 after mayhem 4, and its definitely the feeling im getting too.
I almost always get not even annointed drops, and much less legendaries than on m4 …
The diffuiculty increase is not worth it at this point

I dunno about M10, but on M8 I get guns that deal considerably more damage than their pre 2.0 counterparts.

I think of M10 quality loot as similar to primal quality loot in Diablo 3. It rarely ever drops, but when it does, the stats are obviously bigger. But the great thing is that they’re easily identifiable. Red border signifies primal loot.
The problem in BL3 right now is that there’s no way to identify what mayhem tier the gear is. At Mayhem 10, just like any Torment level in Diablo 3, most of your loot is still going to be the basic legendary stats. Some others will be higher than M0 tier in damage. An extremely rare amount of it will be M10 level stats.
When there’s no way to clearly identify what tier of loot a gun is, you’re going to be sitting through mountains of crap weapons trying to do math in your head to figure out gun strength based on damage. That gives the illusion that M10 gear simply doesn’t drop. It might be dropping but on weapons you never like to use and you’re simply not sure because the damage number multiplied by the rounds per second to figure out DPS isn’t something you’ve done on guns you never use.
Gearbox NEEDS to add a way for us to quickly identify gun mayhem strength. Gearbox SHOULD also add a “DPS” stats to guns so we don’t have to constantly do math in our heads of damage multiplied by fire rate. It’s mentally exhausting to have to constantly crunch the numbers to see what mayhem tier a piece of loot is.

The loot you get from enemy drops is increased but the drawback is the look from vending machines and loot chests isn’t.

Can you elaborate?
whole damn game is broken AF… and M10 drops are broken too… both these dropped in the same run (M10)

Interesting, I actually had good luck this weekend with Bad Asses and bosses, but the damn chests and vending machines only had regular stuff and wasn’t scaled to Mayhem 10. I farmed the red chests by Ellie’s Garage
they do , but seem in a few day, they had made some changes on the servers side that they didn’t said, as i find yesterday, it is suddently different than one day before, drops of some non MH10 LV legendary, so many time, that why i change to MH6, it is beter than before, and any MH !!!

Yea, chests and vending machines don’t scale at all. Neither do grenades, shields, class mods and artifacts. I farmed Graveward and Gigamind the day of the patch and the drops were terrible. Haven’t touched them since.

doesn’t make any sense to not scale those other items. vehicle damage isn’t either. It took me 5 minutes to kill a skag pup lol

basically, all vending machine, wouldn’t give u any MH LV stuffs, u have to farm them on NPC.
I keep buying that butt stallion milk even though I know it’s a lie.

that never scaled for some reason (again, i’m realy doubting the devs more and more each passing day)
so much obvious crap that never gets fixed or gets fixed after the forum turns into a mass protest…
GB cleary doesn’t play their own game…

I stopped playing the game bcuz of it. At this point that is not acceptable and just shows a total disconnect. Maybe I’ll come back when there is some common sense in game development.

I haven’t bothered with that for a while. It made absolutely no difference for me.
