So I've got the McDonalds app and whenever I go, I would always try to use the deals they have on there, usually multiple at a time. If you try to use multiple deals in a row at the register, it'll tell you have to wait 15 minutes to use another coupon, but I learned pretty early on that doesn't apply if you use them at the self-service kiosks they have. Unfortunately, that's apparently changed recently, I went to McDonalds last Saturday and when I tried to use a second deal coupon after my first order (I have to split my order into multiple ones to use the deals), I got hit with a 15 minute wait time that I've never seen before on the kiosks.

So it looks like they finally fixed their little oversight, but for me, I think this is gonna be my end going to McDonalds. I know it sounds super gluttonous, but without being able to use multiple coupons like that, I feel like there's little reason to go. I was going to buy a double cheeseburger with a 40% coupon and then get a free medium fries. but I ended up just eating the cheeseburger by itself.

Super effective vs: Dragon, Dark, Fighting (+3)

Resisted by: Metal, Poison, Bug, Psychic (-4)

Negated by: Grass (-2)

Weak to: Metal, Poison, Bug (-3)

Resists: Dark, Fighting (+2)

Immune to: Dragon (+2)

Final score: -2 (roughly equal to Fighting), down from +3 (roughly equal to Fire and Ghost)

Going over the list of changes, the most obvious one to include with any discussion involving nerfing Fairy is to reverse the bug interaction. Bug is now super effective vs fairy and resists it. This is an often called for change and probably the least controversial change here. I think a lot of people would think this alone is enough to make Fairy balanced and if you believe so, then I completely respect it.

Going onto some more controversial changes, Psychic now also resists Fairy (but has no offensive advantage over it). Psychic is often cited as an overlooked and underpowered type that could use a buff and the interaction makes thematic sense. And finally, the most controversial change here would be making Grass immune to Fairy type. It's also common for people to suggest making Grass resist Fairy for thematic reasons, but I believe Grass is bad enough to warrant an even greater buff, a full immunity. Since Fairy itself also has an immunity to Dragon, it would make a sense for a type to also be immune to it as a balance.

So, if Fairy had these type interactions, how strong would this nerfed Fairy type be? I think right now most people would agree Fairy is an S tier type, likely only behind Metal. Would it still be a top 3 type simply due to its dragon immunity? Would it still be slightly above average or slightly below average? What kind of tier list placing would you give it? I'm very excited and curious to see what y'all have to say :p

Little rant post but I keep running into issues with the maps in Borderland's 2 where the map will show an open path or tell you an area is free to pass through only for there to a wall or mountain range in the way that doesn't actually let you through. It's a constant problem when I try to rely on the map for where to go only for there to be a blockage that wasn't show, Sometimes the map will show me being right on top of a mission pointer despite me not being able to find it anywhere and only realizing later it was on a different floor.

I definitely don't remember this being an issue anywhere near as prevalent in Borderlands 1 since there was much less verticality to the areas in that game. I understand Borderlands 2's maps probably stack on eachother a lot more often than the first game's did, but I can't imagine it would have been impossible to make different maps for each floor of an area or better try to show elevation on the maps.

Another thing, I really didn't like how the maps in BL2 always start out obscured and need to be revealed whereas in the first game, whenever you entered a new area, the map was fully revealed from the beginning. I hated having to reveal map locations and it's weird to me that the map in an area is divided into separate sub areas that need to be revealed but the map doesn't show those subdivisions either.

I just finished BL2 and finished the Dragonkeep post-game quest. I was going to move onto the Hammerlock hunting trip quest but I immediately got stuck with no idea where to go because again, so much of the map either doesn't show the massive mountain ranges blocking my way or is just completely obscured and it just instantly killed my motivation to continue. Overall, I think BL2 was quite a step down for me from the original. I think I definitely preferred the first game over the sequel.

Unfortunately, it seems the game itself doesn't have any in-built easy mode. I just died like 30 times trying to finish one side quest, the one where you need to drive off a ramp into an enemy camp and burn their volleyball net, and I keep dying way too much in every major dungeon. I went from having over 3000 dollars to under 1000 because I died THAT many times. I regularly keep having encounters where I can't even 1v1 enemies and die before I can beat even a single enemy. I played through Borderlands 1 and also had difficulty problems there too but it frankly almost ruined the game for me on several occasions and I really don't want to go through that struggle and headache again.

I'm trying to find mods that make the game easier, preferably ALOT easier frankly. I tried looking online but a cursory search didn't really provide much. I kept getting reccommended the community unofficial patch, but if anything, that just seems to slightly make the game easier as a side effect of its balance changes. I'm looking for something more direct, more HP, less enemy damage, something that removes the revival fee even. Stuff like that. Honestly, the revival fee is probably the biggest one. Like I said, I literally lost MOST of my money just from dying so much in one side mission.

I just finished beating the first Borderlands game, including all the post-game DLC except for the Underdome, and I'm actually in awe at how long this game actually ended up being. Most of the information online said this game would be about 25-35 hours long, but after beating the original final boss and completing the vault, I was sitting at a little over 80 hours in total. Then, with all the DLC, I ended finishing the game with over 130 hours. That's crazy! It took me like an entire month to finish this game. Obviously, I'm not complaining but I just wasn't expecting this game to be such a commitment, haha. I have no idea why everything I've seen online underestimates the playtime so much. To be clear, I never farmed or grinded for anything in the entire game. Are Borderlands 2 and 3 also going to be this long too?
