@jasoncarter555 @hxll_mxtt Yes, but it'll be by the skin of their teeth. The right have, somehow, all collectively come together to push Reform into the lead for polling. Labour are still head in the sand, ignoring the clear signs; they aren't delivering what people want and need. They aren't loud enough.

@jimthegiant Look at Basildon. Since Reform formed, their new councillor has been attacking the Labour councillor, continuously harassing others and not giving any reason to vote for him. He won. Not a peep out of what he will do to help the local area, including the regeneration project

@hxll_mxtt Which is why this will be a wake up call. They'll see that it's the same on Council level. Nothing will get better; just harsh decline for funding and support in local communities and their environments.

@ZaneyBlue From what I’ve seen - the vast majority of reform voters can’t give you one single policy or pledge beyond “muhhh immigration muhh” anyway. Emboldened racism is the call of the day for them.

@hxll_mxtt Even as someone who doesn't like the current Labour Party, they have done good for this country considering the last 14 years. Including in some councils. Its just many wanted them to change the world over night after they made so many promises in the GE.

@hxll_mxtt Its exactly that. If you tell Reform supporters the actual policies of Reform, but say its Labour or the Tories they'll get angry about them. As soon as you tell them it's actually Reform, they support it. It'll be a harsh reality check in a years time.

@EpicNNG Seems to further cement that the previous patch notes were AI generated...

"background words were not prompted and have zero relationship to anything real" If they weren't prompted, it made them based off of your prompt history, and as such you may have just publicly told people about your new IP the studio is working on Just food for thought bud

I asked my primary AI tool to generate a selfie that indicates how they feel based on how I interact with it and this is what it generated (note: background words were not prompted and have zero relationship to anything real).

@Patch_the_Squid Financially it does, and it affects quality. What do you think Gearbox would say/do if less than 25% of all purchased copies are active 9 months into the games release, whilst theres still content to come out? The lack of effort is already apparent

@ZaneyBlue that doesn't answer my question or address what I am saying at all tho. Balance does influence Retention. As a fighting game player I know this better than anyone. But unlike a fighting game, "retention" doesn't matter to a game like borderlands in the same way.

Why do people think single player games need to played forever? If the story is done, and the power fantasy is complete? then it might just be time to move on. Go explore new worlds and stories. This might actually be the root of the entitled gamer problem.

Been saying this. People think PVE means anything goes. Not if you want to keep players playing. If they never nerfed the Bee and CC or the Evil Smasher glitch on BL2 that game would have died after the final dlc. Players would have left because there was no challenge. Now BL4 has no challenge and the player base is MIA

@Patch_the_Squid Because the entire gameplay cycle is built around farming for gear. Sure its a solo game for the most part, but the entire game design is to farm for good gear. If that loop breaks, players won't come back at all. Which then leads into all sorts of other issues.

@ZaneyBlue But why do you need player retention in borderlands? It's not an mmo. it's not competitive. it's not an actual live service game or dependent on player numbers at any given time. The game has an end. Why does it have to stay fresh? just play something else until the next update.

@Patch_the_Squid K6 literally used it as an example to show where BL4 currently is at in terms of player retention, and how lack of balance changes have made the gameplay loop stale very quickly.

@ZaneyBlue But I wasn't talking about BL4. I was referencing the op saying "that game would have died after the final dlc" in regards to BL2. My tweet is asking at what point AFTER a game is complete do people move on, instead of just demanding/expecting more.

@Patch_the_Squid @Manhattan190648 But there currently isn't a lit of variety in BL4. That's the issue. Majority of gear underperforms by a country mile, leading to a stale gameplay loop. There's only a select group of gear that performs well, and it's usually by a wide margin.

@Manhattan190648 But you control the buttons you press. If you think an item is overpowered, and there isn't some competitive meta or aspect of the game requiring you to use it. . . Just don't use it. Especially in something like Borderlands where the replayability comes from variety.

@NuyyKatazou @Borderlands If by action, they mean not actually doing anything about them for weeks at a time.

@NuyyKatazou @Borderlands Except where have they made the actual game, as it is, better? A large portion of gear still feels underwhelming. Bloomreaper was a hot mess, and the Loot he drops is underpowered. Continuous bugs being ignored. But yes. A road map saying "bug fixes" is them taking action.

@NuyyKatazou @Borderlands Except they haven't. If you're fine with the state of the game as it is and the support it's been given, bearing in mind we're 9 months in, sure. But the game is a mess. And the lack of any kind of hotfixes at all is a major problem for keeping player retention.

@NuyyKatazou @Borderlands If you're fine with where BL4 is as a whole and it's road map, fine. But the majority seems to be saying the same thing; this is not a good day for the game. This is just showing that GB doesn't want to support BL4 the way they supported BL3.

@NuyyKatazou @Borderlands I played BL3 on release day... I remember the reaction. I also remember how much better the game felt as hotfixes were dropped and how there was something new to do nearly every other month for two years straight. In 9 months we've had a crap event, 1 major dlc and two subpar dlc

@NuyyKatazou @Borderlands There has been no bug fixes in the last two weeks since a major content drop. During BL3's cycle, there were some hotfixes released just a day or two after when there were major bugs in content drops. Stop excusing lack of acknowledgement ot communication. Gearbox have fumbled.

@ZaneyBlue @Borderlands Yeah the community ask for no ultime mode ng+, less things like takedown, less random patch that add bug and random balance, more raid boss... So they decide to do that only for the community to say "Nah we dont want that"
