      If you think that's how it was made i feel bad for anyone that taught you in life. This stuff was planned a decade or so ago and is tied into you accepting much lower standards in your life, its all about reducing your quality of life in every aspect and your expectations while allowing them to charge more for vastly less things, basically the same thing every major corporation is doing and funny enough they all seem to be owned by the same group of investment companies like Blackrock and Vanguard.

    If you think that Borderlands 3 plus the first season pass were basically the same price as Wonderlands plus the season pass (and there was no free content or seasonal events, less updates, etc.), it's staggering. Cartels, for instance, was better than any of the Wonderlands DLC and it was free.

      The base game was also lacking in content, too. Maps felt more linear, and there weren't nearly as many side quests either. The story was also shorter. The game could have been great. The addition of melee weapons and spells did make it a lot more enjoyable. Also, the shorter campaign made it easier to play and level up other characters. However, having to do the chaos chambers for each character was annoying.

    It's disgraceful that Gearbox marketed these chaos chamber clones with reskinned mobs as full DLC dungeons, anyone who bought the season pass or chaotic great edition got scammed. I have absolutely zero trust or respect for them anymore and they won't be getting any more money out of me. I'll also make sure to let everyone who's considering the game know not to get scammed by Gearbox's predatory monetisation.

    Another thing to mention for people dissatisfaction was that the "dlc" wasn't fully completable after purchase. They would become 'harder" every week until the 4th week where the content would be most challenging and every level would have different drops. That decision made some players put it on hiatus until you could run through 1 - 4 just to make the dlc "worth it or use offline mode to run through all of them the first week.

    If look closely at the 4 areas where the main quests don't take place they have the DLC quest icons. To me the mirrors feel to familiar to the free events from Borderlands 3 like the Cartel event. The devs even refer to the Mirrors as PLC post launch content not DLC. I enjoyed Wonderlands at launch but stopped playing once the first PLC came out. It felt like Diablo 3 but with Borderlands gameplay. Game gives you the same burnout Diablo gives you, leaving out the adventure mode and seasonal play.

    I really loved Wonderlands when it first came out, I played nearly every day and I was so excited to have a Borderlands game where I could make my own character. I even logged in every so often to do the after-campaign dungeon for a few weeks after beating it cause I wanted better loot for the DLCs since I had bought the season pass. When the first DLC dropped I excitedly logged onto the game just to be met with a tiny area with the wheel of fate and what essentially amounted to a different version of the dungeon I had been grinding to earn gear for the DLCs. I logged off, hoping the future DLCs would be better. But after hearing absolutely zero talk of the other DLCs I eventually forgot I even had the game. Shame that it turned out so badly.

    How are we comparing the price of these things while not mentioning BL2 came out 11 years ago? And that natural inflation in that time was about 24 percent. Which.... Is about the 30 percent increase in price.
    Are corporate expenses to continually rise while prices stay the same? Are we really mad about a $5 increase? Don't buy them of course if the value proposition doesn't meet your expectations but, to me, $10 is an extremely fair price. You literally cannot eat at McDonald's for 10 bucks.
    Total non issue.

    Ive sadly given up on Gearbox entirely. Borderlands has always been about taking crazy weapons youve found and seeing what craziness you could make against a horde of monsters. BL2 did this amazingly and its DLCs opened new ways to make new builds or existing builds stronger with NEW weapons. BL3 nerfed things into the ground and made farming the focus so hard that only legendaries were useful and nothing else, and then the DLCs brought in copies of weapons that did what other wepaons did prenerf, locking weapons you loved behind paywalls. I was so happy to see Pre-sequel balancing come back and the game was fun with all weapons having a place. The DLCs were lacking but i had hope as they could have added new modifiers and new enemies to the chaos chambers, as lore wise its a realm of the craziest and most unbalanced DnD things your DM could ever think of, to be locked away forever. New mirrors meant crazier loot and things to see. I saw it as a win because every dlc focused on one thing and so there would be no division of resources. Even with all the money it made, it failed in giving anything other than increasing the number of chambers and making more weapons unviable. They added no new fun things to the chamber.
    Gearbox has lost me forever. No effort put into what they make, only going for money now. Ive lived long enough for my Borderlands franchise to be EA'd.

Sine for 60-70$ you are getting 100% of a game. While in online games for 20$ you get one skin which is less than 5% of all skins in the item shop...

    This game had SOOOOOO much potential, and I, like millions of others, feel like Gearbox robbed us. The "Post-Launch Content" was really just Headhunter Packs, and the only real value in them is the Wheel of Fate became the go-to farming spot. It makes me incredibly sad that all of the potential was wasted. Crabs, sharks, & snakes?!? Really?!? What a joke! I have 2,700 hours in BL2, 1,200 hours in BL3, and less than 300 in Wonderlands. I actually have more time in The Pre-Sequel than I do in TTWL, and I really disliked TPS. This game could have been brilliant, it could have become it's own franchise, and it could have made GBX a fortune if they hadn't half-assed it like they did. The game was abandoned by the developers, so it's only fitting that it was abandoned by the players. I paid $11.99 for BL2, and got my money's worth a hundred times over. I paid $200 for 2 copies of Wonderlands, and I feel cheated and robbed. NEVER AGAIN, Gearbox, never again.

    All of y'all saying the base game is good are really generous it was essentially 3 hours long with about 5 hours of really lame side content to pad it out. Most of that was just one fucking area and it didn't even launch with true vault hunter mode all they gave you was the terrible chaos chamber that got spoiled by the shit drop rates forcing you to run it hundreds of times just for them to release more levels later.

    To play devil's advocate, I can kind of see what they were going for with the Wonderlands DLC. I feels like they were trying something more focussed on grinding for loot than narrative; if I were a project manager looking at social media around the Borderlands series for player sentiment, I would probably draw the conclusion that's exactly what players wanted.
    Unfortunately, Wonderlands's premise favours narrative campaigns even more than the previous titles, so these DLC packs feel out of place and underwhelming. Yet another way Wonderlands puts me in mind of The Pre-Sequel.

    I bought this game ironically because I was so hyped. I knew nothing about tiny Tina except that she was in a video game I liked and was pretty good. So when they said they’d make a game based on that one character who was definitely my favorite I was so hyped. Can’t believe they broke my heart with all this greed.

    Some stuff i hate is those exclusive weapons, like if you open your mail too soon your weapon will be at lvl 10, so you wait and wait to be max lvl and its seen that wonderlands got higher lvl gear then lvl 40, so there will be a lvl cap increase, so those exclusive weapons are rotting in your mail without knowing if they are good or bad or were good early game.
    But the number 1 thing i hate about wonderlands is armor, like in previous borderlands you had a boss that would drop 1 specific class mod for 1 class, with armor you got 7 classes that you can dual so 42 different armors and then the legendary armors got different elements or mods (lets take the elements), which can 210 different forms of 1 legendary armor and we are not finished yet, the drop chance can be somewhere between 6% to 33%, lets take 33%, so you need to kill a boss like 630 times just to get the correct legendary armor for your build.
    Lets take the worst farming armor of them all, the Brutal Stampede which rolls 2 out of 6 mods and got a 18% drop chance of a mirror boss, you need to kill the boss like 3496 times.

    I got the premium edition when it first launched because me and my brother planned to do our first playthroughs of the game and dlc together. We both enjoyed the game but found it disappointing in terms of end game and build variety. Then the dlc dropped and we each had our collective "is that?" moment. Neither of us have even touched the rest of the dlc and I personally haven't opened the game since.
    Just a massive disappointment overall.

      Lack of content is what killed it. Base game and dlc both lacked content. The addition of 100 chaos levels also didn't help and instead made people just lose any interest they may have had.
      A third skill tree would also be a good addition to have with an increase in level cap.

    The Wonderlands DLCs are equivalent of what is completely FREE in Borderlands 3: TAKEDOWNS :)
    I absolutely hated the TTWL DLCs, completed each of them once, and never played again. Not to mention that the new gear in those DLCs was locked behind multiple difficulty levels, forcing you to do the "raids" (for the lack of better name) multiple times over and over, to unlock all the gear, as certain items locked behind last difficulty in each of those were really good end-game items for example: "Tyrant's Truth" armour ... I really hope that they will add a proper story driven DLC at some point...

    I had never bought a season pass for Borderlands before so when this was announced I bought the chaotic great edition to get everything based on my experience with their previous games that came with quality dlc. Never doing that again.
    The base game is great and if it had new game+ or true vault hunter mode it would probably have been my most played game 2022, instead I have barely touched it since the first "dlc" came out.
    I hope they are not done with it and at least add the possibility to replay the game with your character so even if there wont be any real dlc there would at least be something more to do for those who dont want to grind the chaos chamber forever.

    Let’s just hope they learn from this egregious mistake and that this doesn’t set a precedent for Borderlands’ future. Borderlands 4 needs to build off of 3 in big ways while also taking some ideas from wonderlands like for example having dedicated melee weapons to make playing melee builds more fun and diverse. Oh and also better writing because BL3 replays are made borderline torturous because of the horrendous story and dialogue. They don’t even necessarily need another Handsome Jack, they just need to actually try this time to tell a decent story. Wonderlands was a step in the right direction but I’d also like to see some semi serious storytelling amongst the nonsense chaos. Sorta like how they did in Bounty Of Blood and the Krieg dlc. Also and this is more of a personal preference but I’d love for them to make legendaries actually feel like they matter and are a big deal. Like how Destiny 2 treats exotics but a bit less grindy/restrictive. Also just copy the seasonal system from that game so that there can be a bigger gap between dlcs to allow for further development time.
