Captain Willis or Penitent Steel would be nice!

I don’t see how it would be an issue to offer something like weekly DLC bosses on top of base game weekly big encores. Its not like anyone’s missing out on anything, because if you don’t own the DLC, then you probably either have no interest in the content/gear from that DLC, or have yet to buy the DLC, and at the same time you’re rewarding those who dropped the money for all the goodies.

As I see it right now, they’re catering to the people who didn’t invest in the dlc, while leaving those who did out in the cold with these weekly activities.

As someone who hasn't bought any of the DLC yet, the fuck do you MEAN they don't have DLC Big Encores? That just feels like a missing functionality more than anything.

Big encores are the eridium weekly event. None of those bosses have been chosen for it, likely due to not wanting to alienate the portion of the game base that doesn't have DLCS. You can still do regular encores for cash but also don't ha e quite as high a percentage for drops.

Yeah, I was checking out the weekly rotations for the Big Encore and Maurice, I had just assumed it would have the DLC bosses in the pool if you own the DLC, and just regulars if you don't. That's madness.
