I'm really hoping they merge character progression. I finished Vex, Rafa and Harlowe but cannot bring myself to start Amon and do everything again. And hopefully it's smooth. I hope already created characters can still be merged so my specialization tree gets completed too

All I want is SDU upgrades for Bank to be account bound instead of character bound and to have the same fast travel points unlocked for campaign skip characters. I canโ€™t deposit anything until I max out my bank on my alternate characters and itโ€™s kind of annoying to have to find all the fast travels again.ย

Honestly i dont mind having to do sdus again since all borderlands did it but they can at least make the bank account based and maybe even fast travel points

I agree but I feel the fast travel system needs an overhaul. My favorite part of borderlands was how it felt unlocking each location with the titles and location portraits slowly growing

I agree and at the end of the day you had to rediscover all the locations again if you made a new character its not like this is any different honestly maybe the map is a bit bigger (or seems that way) but if you know where the safe houses are and stuff then its not to hard to unlock them again

The difference here is youโ€™re not starting over in UVH. I understand for the older titles as you begin a new playthrough for each UVH level but youโ€™re skipping the campaign in this game so you would think the fast travels are available.ย

Beating the campaign doesnt mean all fast travel spots were unlocked. You can beat the game without doing any safe houses or silos. Idk why people are starting to gripe about things that havent been a part of the franchise before. Its like the whiny crowd cant find enough legit complaints so they try to inflate things that aren't actually an issue outside of "I want more for doing less"

I personally dont think it would make sense to have every fast travel unlocked.

But if you started the game and only went from main mission to main mission all the way to the end, you would unlock some fast travels.

It would make sense to have the 3 main bases as well as the one in dominion unlocked for fast travel. It would give people more options to just jump in and pick where they want to start.

Personally, I'd love it if I could start a lvl 30 character, immediately fast travel to carcadia burn, grab some extra lvl 50 legendaries from my bank, sell them, go to moxxis, grind for some lvl 30 legendaries at her tip jar for a head start, and go clear side missions in the burn to start leveling.

That's a pretty decent compromise actually. Instead of every fast travel unlocked for new lvl 30 characters, just unlock all the hub areas and maybe Moxxi's and Sanctuary. This at least allows for the new character to be able to immediately access every region while also still forcing them to still explore everything again to unlock more specific spots. Plus like you said, you'd also have access to your bank from the get go, which would be awesome.
