so i’d really like to finish my guardian takedown lore analysis, but honestly the game isn’t really fun to play at the moment anymore (even with the health debuffs they added) so I think im going to be taking a break for now because I’m just not having fun anymore.

this game has a lotta mechanical problems i think need to be addressed so im gonna summarize it as bullet points below. I’ll play the new dlc when it drops, but idk if i’ll be on more than that (grinding, end-game stuff) until they make some serious changes. I’ve been playing (near) daily since launch, followed the patch/hotfix notes every single week, and my patience has finally, FINALLY run dry, especially with that really disappointing Phase 1 Patch and then the hotfix this week not adding anything else. What is the balancing team doing??? 😩

tl;dr: FIX THE VAULT HUNTERS!!!!

anyway. That’s all I needed to get outta my system. I might log on to this blog every now and again to post some random shit that pops into my head (probably with regards to my AU), but I’m not going to be actively playing and posting for the time being. Goodbye (for now), and here’s hoping the new DLC is good!!

guardian takedown only problems:

there’s a lot of waiting around, and sometimes it’s not explicitly stated that you’re waiting for something, so you’ll be lost on what to do next (not sure if that’s a dialogue glitch or not)

the crystal charge insta-death is bull. just. what the hell. at least make it so you just have to start over. killing ur players for failing a “puzzle” that they then have to fight all the way back to is so infuriating.

dying because you fell off a platforming puzzle is also bull.

i remember playing the first DMC on my playstation in middle school and having a conniption over the part in the observatory(? it’s been a hot minute since I played DMC 1) with the disappearing/invisible platforms. I h a t e jumping puzzles. why are they in a section of the game where death is semi-permanent and a detriment to your teammates. i tried the takedown 2x with friends and both times one friend didn’t make the first big jump to the temple and had to wait for our inevitable deaths. that’s so unfair to them.

there’s absolutely no reason for a boss to have 12 fuckin immunity phases. 4 per health bar with 3 health bars? Who the fuck designed this? *pumps shotgun* i just wanna talk.

i appreciate a tasteful immunity phase every now and again (the ones in the Valkyrie fight are actually p reasonable), but christ. that is overkill. I don’t mind the main boss fight, since u can end those early through certain actions, but jesus. the mid-boss fight is annoying as hell. you spend more time running from the immunity phases and finding the damn boss than u do actually shooting it.

drop rates are crap, which I guess should be expected given what happened with the Maliwan Takedown and the handful of months it took for them to fix that, but also you think they’d have learned.

in the maliwan takedown there’s a sense of progression thru the facility after you kill each area’s batch of enemies, but in this one it’s... dampened by the crystal charging sequences. you kill all the enemies in an area, press a button, and now you have to kill 3x that number of enemies in the same area, expect you’re just standing there motionless. It’s not fun.

the crystal charging stuff is just not fun in general. standing in a square is not entertaining. it’s worse that it was clearly designed for 3+ players when a majority of people play/grind solo

i gotta admit the boss fights just aren’t as fun as the Maliwan Takedown fights overall. I felt like a real badass fighting Wotan for the first time, but the main boss for this Takedown is kind of a bitch. Wotan’s fight is chaos, there’s so much shit happening at once and you don’t really have time to process everything and I love it. This one is p meh...

This would be fine and I’d 100% not care that much if there weren’t all these OTHER problems

General Issues with the Game

There’s no endgame stuff to play outside of the takedowns.

I assume they’re working on the first raid given some stuff I found in the Guardian Takedown files, but I really wish they’d keep the seasonal events/areas. They give us the option to disable/enable them while they’re ‘active’, just give us the ability to do it whenever we want.

when i hop on i either run through Athenas (my favorite map), or farm a boss or two. I have all the loot i really need from the maliwan takedown/elsewhere, and the guardian takedown just... isn’t fun atm, so i have nothing to do.

I’ve reset my playthru multiple times to play the main story at m10, but u can only play it (and the dlc) so many times

Mayhem levels and modifiers are a hot m e s s

a majority of the modifiers just aren’t fun to play with

they incorporated like 2-3 fun modifiers (from the community), then added a bunch that straight-up aren’t. I’m fine with the game being more difficult, but at least give us modifiers that make it more entertaining to play at a higher level instead of more annoying. I like the ones that have trade-offs or add new ‘enemies’, but I hate the ones that just straight up reduce your damage output.

a majority of the weapons with the mayhem 10 anointment (scaling) do not work on mayhem 10 (we’ll go more in-depth with this later)

Player Characters (Vault Hunters!!!) are also a hot mess and a lot of problems plaguing them haven’t been fixed SINCE LAUNCH

theyre literally the basis of the game and its balance. why havent you guys fixed them yet. stop adding new content until they’re fixed. no new skill trees until the base 3 trees work ON EVERY CHARACTER.

seriously. Why is amara p much limited to using Phasegrasp. Why does Iron Bear not matter to Moze except to proc anointments. MAKE ALL ACTION SKILLS EQUAL AND HAVE HEFT.

i wrote an essay here about it bc i feel that strongly about this

SERIOUSLY FIXING UR VAULT HUNTERS WILL MAKE BALANCING SO MUCH EASIER PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU THEY ARE THE BASE OF UR BALANCING WOES

ZANE IS STILL UNUSABLE WITHOUT THE SEEIN’ DEAD CLASS MOD!!!!!!!!!!!

MOZE IS SCREWED BC HER DAMAGE IS TOO RELIANT ON ASE ANOINTMENTS!!

AMARA DOESN’T HAVE A FUCKING MELEE BUILD AS THE ADVERTISED MELEE CHARACTER???

FL4K’S HEADCOUNT SKILL IS S T I L L BROKEN EVER SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE MALIWAN TAKEDOWN

ARE YOU GUYS LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY *PLEASEEEEEEE*

BUFF AND FIX THE GODDAMN VAULT HUNTERS

Anointments were a mistake. Damage end-game is wayyyy too reliant on them

anoints should have a maximum of, like, a 20% damage bonus. the damage necessary to kill enemies *should be coming from the VHs themselves*. i don’t care if you have to revamp every single Vault Hunter’s skill trees and buff them all by 9000%. THEY DESERVE IT AT THIS POINT

at the moment in m10 there really isn’t much build diversity *even between Vault Hunters*. We’re all using the same 5 guns (OPQ System. Kaoson. idk. fuckin brainstormer? is that still a thing? jesus fuck) with the same 3 anointments (100% on ASE, cryo while SNTL, and 300% while 90%).

you want to diversify builds like you said during the gameplay reveal???? you want our choice in Vault Hunter to actually fuckin matter???? FIX THEM!!!! THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEAL DAMAGE WITHOUT STUPID POWERFUL LEGENDARIES AND ANOINTMENTS!!!

Anoints also shouldn’t be common. At all. They should be, like, Pearl rarity. To let that happen, their damage needs to be tuned way the fuck down (again, 20ish % bonus MAX) and ALL ANOINTS NEED TO BE USEFUL IN SOME WAY

NOBODY IS GOING TO USE THE AIRBORNE OR SLIDING ANOINTMENTS JUST REMOVE THEM ALREADY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

obviously these changes can’t happen because they fucked up and buckled down with everything being anointed in m10, but still

imagine a world where the VHs actually did damage on their own without anointments and the damage buff from them was just an incentive to grind for the 100% perfect weapon and NOT A REQUIREMENT TO DEAL DAMAGE

>:(

A majority of gear is borderline worthless at M10

I’m fine with the difficulty of M10, i should let it be known. The enemy health isn’t really the problem IF ALL GUNS ACTED THE SAME AS THE OPQ SYSTEM

ffs.

you know, if you fixed ur vault hunters so they all did damage with just purple weapons (abt the same damage as legendaries w/o special effects) and removed the anointment requirement from late-game play, balancing your guns would be sooo much easier. you know. just saying.

right now only 10% (im being generous) of guns in the game are viable. 90% are worthless. We need AT LEAST 60-70% viable at M10. WHERE IS MY BUILD DIVERSITY. WHY ARE ALL LEGENDARIES NOW JUST “HEY THIS GUN IS STRONGER THAN THE LAST 4 WE RELEASED. HAVE FUN”

how to fix this problem? do as above: BUFF YOUR PLAYER CHARACTERS. MAKE ANOINTMENTS LESS STRONG.

then, at least the 10% already strong weapons would be stupid strong and OP as fuck, BUT AT LEAST WE COULD HAVE BUILD VARIETY!!! I don’t care if other people are dummy strong one-shotting everything in sight. I don’t! so long as they don’t play with me, I couldn’t care less!!! I want to be able to play with the unique, interesting legendaries. instead of the OPQ System. which, by the way, I dislike compared to the normal Q-System. let me use the frozen heart shield and the infiltrator mod. I don’t wanna be chained to the Seein’ Dead anymore :(

honestly at this point im starting to think removing slag was a mistake bc then at least we could use guns that aren’t solely damage-based guns. you know how fucked up you’ve got me that im thinking maybe slag wouldn’t be so bad this time around??? YOU GOT ME FUCKED UP B A D.

FIX THE GAME

IM TAKING A BREAK

MAYBE I’LL BE LESS UPSET WHEN I COME BACK FOR THE DLC BUT HOT. DIGGITY. SHIT.

#borderlands #bl3 #whelp #i needed to get that out #still frustrated...#just... fix the game #please #its so disheartening to see this STILL going on #like i know bl2 had the same problems #with the balancing #remember when they nerfed zer0 and buffed salvador?#but like christ at least they were messing with the vault hunters #now they're trying to brush their problems under the rug and it's really sad to watch #you would think they'd have learned from bl2

35 Captivating Peekaboo Highlights

35 Captivating Peekaboo Highlights

Anjali Sayee December 31, 2018

Peek-a-boo, I see you!

Is your Insta-feed currently flooded with images of hidden hair colors? If yes, you’ve been hit by the peekaboo highlights trend. It’s when you think you know someone’s hair color, but when they move the top layer of hair, it reveals a totally different color. Well, that hair color trend is called peekaboo highlights. It’s also referred to as hidden highlights.

You can choose from a classic red peekaboo to a stunning multicolored one. To get in on the fun, read on!

What Exactly Are Peekaboo Highlights?

Why the name peekaboo?

Have you played a game of peek-a-boo with a child? You cover your eyes, then suddenly open them and say “peek-a-boo!” The sound of laughter from that child is priceless. That’s the kind of joy you’ll feel when you get peekaboo highlights. Peekaboo highlights are colored highlights that are hidden under the top layer of your hair. They are most commonly done at the back of the head. The best thing about this style is that you don’t have to limit yourself to just one or two colors. You can get these peekaboo highlights in as many colors as you want.

Off the bat, I’m going to plead with you to go to a hairstylist to get the perfect peekaboo highlights. It takes a great deal of experience to get these intricate patterns and colors right. So, make an appointment with a professional hairstylist to avoid damaging your hair. Check out the next section to find out how to go about it.

How To Get Peekaboo Highlights

Decide what colors and pattern of peekaboo highlights you want to flaunt. Take your natural hair color, skin tone, and eye color into consideration. You can seek a professional hairstylist’s advice to do so.

Tell your stylist how you normally part your hair to help them figure out where to place the peekaboo highlights.

The stylist will color your hair in sections, leaving the top layer of your hair untouched to hide the peekaboo highlights. They begin coloring at the top, about an inch from the parting, and move downwards. They use foils to keep the hair color from spreading to the parts of your hair that you don’t want to color.

Now, I’m sure you must be wondering how much damage peekaboo highlights unleash on your hair. Don’t worry, you can protect and nourish your hair by following the simple maintenance tips listed in the next section. Check them out!

How To Maintain Peekaboo Highlights

Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to prevent your hair color from fading for as long as possible. These products will also nourish your hair that has been left dry and damaged from bleaching.

Use a color-safe shampoo along with a hydrating conditioner to take care of all your newly-colored hair’s needs.

Coloring your hair can dry out and damage it, which can lead to hair loss and breakage. Use a moisturizing hair mask to add protein and hydration to your tresses and get rejuvenated and healthy hair.

Oil your hair twice a week. Massage warm oil into your scalp and hair to nourish them. This not only prevents hair damage but also adds shine to your hair.

For two to three weeks immediately after you’ve colored your hair, don’t tie your hair in tight ponytails or braids. Your hair is already fragile, and tying it tightly can cause a lot of breakage. Instead of tight ponytails and updos, opt for messy buns and loose braids.

Brush your hair gently. Start at the ends and work your way up. Don’t pull your brush at the knots; detangle them gently. This might seem strenuous, but it is good for your locks in the long run – colored or not.

To keep your highlights looking fresh, get regular touch-ups done. Ask your stylist how often should you get them done and keep at it. You’ll have perfect highlights that don’t look washed out or faded. Your grown-out roots can also be colored during the touch-ups, so your peekaboo game is on point.

Now that you know how to get and maintain peekaboo highlights, let’s check out the top 35 ways that you can style them!

35 Captivating Peekaboo Highlights Styles

1. Chocolate Brown And Lilac

Okay, first of all, that asymmetrical bob is on point! Chocolate brown hair acts as a curtain for light lilac hair in this look. This peekaboo highlights style is perfect for the fall. The brown and lilac go surprisingly well together and look great on fair skin.

2. Pop Of Purple

Were you waiting as eagerly as I was to see which color the peekaboo highlights were? Just a pop of purple done up in peekaboo highlights creates a look that is to die for. It adds a 3D effect to this blonde and brunette color combo.

3. Monochrome

Sinatra or Martin? Marvel or DC? Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network? These are iconic choices, just like the age-old black or white. But, sometimes, black and white can join forces to create a surreal peekaboo hairstyle.

4. Denim

The denim fad has been around for ages, and it’s not going anywhere. It should come as no surprise that it’s also been made into a hair color. This color is deep but vibrant, which makes it great for women who want just a subtle pop of color.

5. Purple And Blue

Have you ever seen the stunning salvia and lithodora flowers? They are the most gorgeous shades of purple and blue that you’ll ever see. Purple symbolizes a woman’s fire while blue stands for calmness, thus making for the perfect blend of femininity.

6. Burnt Highlights

Peekaboo highlights aren’t always hidden. Look at this lovely auburn hue in the front that blends well with the brown hair at the back. You can see a brilliant burnt hint all over her brown locks. This is the perfect hair color for the winter.

7. Wino Mix

When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine, that’s amore. Famous singer Dean Martin was known for having a glass of alcohol in hand while singing. But did you know that most of the tipple was cider? Coming back to the topic, though, wine peekaboo highlights look gorgeous and give a mysterious feel.

8. Woody Composition

Have you ever carved your initials on a tree? If you haven’t, I’m sure you’ve at least seen a movie in which it’s done. The dark brown reveals a pale white inside when carved. This wintery peekaboo highlights look reminds me of that.

9. Blonde Peekaboo

Black hair that ends in a burnt orange ombre with blonde peekaboo highlights – this hair color is all warmth and fire. It’s perfect for those autumn and winter nights when it’s cold outside and cozy inside. The curls at the ends round off this look beautifully.

10. Unicorn Blend

Hello, unicorns! I haven’t tried the unicorn frappe, but these peekaboo highlights make me want to go get one right now. My mind immediately went to Avril Lavigne rocking out to ‘Sk8er Boi’ thanks to this blonde, purple, and pink mix. The purple adds a rich depth to this look. And, let’s not forget the blue that pulls you in like the ocean.

11. Pink Pop

Imagine tying this hair in a high ponytail – it would totally dazzle! The brightness of the pink stands out starkly against the darkness of the black hair. This is ideal for tweens, teen, and young adults.

12. Mermaid Tales

Mermaids are feisty mythical creatures. I’m sure after you saw Ariel in The Little Mermaid, you wanted to be a mermaid too. She had this glossy blue-green fishtail that is the inspiration for this peekaboo highlights look.

13. Intensely Purple

If you have brown hair, go for an intense shade like this deep purple. I took a picture of a purple flower a while back that was placed amidst brown leaves. That’s what this hair look reminds me of. The purple adds a lovely vibrance to her brown locks.

14. Neutral Blend

A deep blue, bright purple, and hints of pink come together to give us this wonderful hair color blend. These three colors create a lovely peekaboo highlights look. The black hair intensifies the entire look.

15. Chocolate-Strawberry Mix

Deep pink highlights on brown hair make me think of a chocolate and strawberry cake. Rich chocolate blended with the freshness of strawberry is all I need to get me through the day. Excuse me while I make a quick trip to the bakery!

16. Beachy Vibes

Golden sand and blue waves – that’s the perfect vacation. I can almost feel the soft sand sinking beneath my feet and hear the swoosh of the waves when I look at these peekaboo highlights.

17. The Forest Mix

Green leaves, brown marshy sand, and bluish-green streams – this is the best forest blend hair color I’ve ever seen. These dirty blonde locks with burnt orange and mermaid blue peekaboo highlights look perfect for those hot summers.

18. Phoenix Rising

This video reminds me of the phoenix spreading its wings and flying away to save Harry Potter from the Chamber of Secrets. And, I have to say, I’m loving this full peekaboo highlights. The red and orange add tons of spice and “flav-ah” to these light ginger tresses.

19. Cherry Cola Pops

Darken your locks this winter and get some intense cherry cola pop peekaboo highlights. It’s sure to heat up your cold, snowy days and nights. The black hair makes the cherry cola color look brown from some angles, which is a win-win in my book.

20. Shock Purple

Shocking purple highlights look uber vibrant on black locks. If you like the emo and grunge vibe, this hair look is for you. Spruce up your black hair with some metallic gloss to make the purple pop even more.

21. Colorful Mermaid

Some women believe the mermaid colors are blue and green, but others say they are pink and purple. Well, why fight when you can get both blends? Let’s be mermaids with these gorgeous peekaboo highlights, ladies!

22. Magenta

Bright peekaboo highlights like these magenta ones look amazing on jet black locks. If you have an edgy personality but still enjoy your girly moments, you need to get this peekaboo highlights pronto!

23. Blonde Dimension

When you have dark hair, you need to use light colors to create contrast. This blonde peekaboo highlights look does just that. Try out this look if you don’t want to go too over the top this fall.

24. Dirty Blonde Cover

Dirty blonde hair unveils bright pink highlights in this peekaboo look. This playful color blend is perfect for any season. After all, you never need a reason to color your hair pink.

25. Rainbow Mix

Somewhere over the rainbow…is a layer of black hair. This hair color blend is mind-blowing. I can only describe it as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! I think anyone who sports this mix of colors wakes up feeling fresh and ready to take on the world.

26. Platinum Mix With Lilac

Lilac and platinum hair colors are really trending now. Both of these colors are super glossy and a great way to give yourself a dramatic makeover. Add some nice silver highlights to the platinum blonde tresses to add dimension to your hair.

27. Fiery Highlights

Is your hair dry and lifeless? Revive it with this fiery peekaboo look. It will add texture and dimension to your hair. Bring your hair back to life and flaunt it like never before!

28. Fall Blend

Looking for the perfect hair color this Halloween? If you feel you’re way too old to dress up but still want to have fun this pumpkin carving season, try this funky orange and pink peekaboo highlight mix.

29. Drink Mix

Champagne or hot chocolate – what’s your beverage of choice? More importantly, why choose when both make for stunning hair colors? The age-old rivalry between blonde or brunettes has never found better common ground than this color mix. The curls add oomph and volume to the look.

30. Candy Crush

Candy crush! The game that took all our attention and got us even more addicted to our phones. After all, who can resist those blue, pink, and red jellybeans? Well, take that candy obsession to your hair and make it candilicious!

31. Bright Pastels

Pastels and bright colors can be mixed to create a terrific blend. If you can go for multiple colors, why not go all out and make it one of the best mixes ever? If you are not afraid of being loud and vibrant, go for it!

32. Curtained Red

Move aside your brown hair to showcase your red locks. It looks magical and mysterious. You can never go wrong with the classic red. N-E-V-E-R!

33. Gingered Purple Highlights

Deep ginger locks with purple peekaboo highlights look ultra modern and edgy. The waves and blunt ends add volume and help in framing your face. The blunt ends streamline the jaw and make it look chiseled.

34. Peacock Highlights

Peacocks are greenish-blue and have a pink hint. It’s a stunning blend, and it’s only right that someone took that awesome color to their hair. What better way to do it than with peekaboo highlights on brown hair?

35. Turquoise

Femininity, tranquility, creativity, and wisdom – these are some of the things the color turquoise represents. It makes for a captivating hair color, especially when paired with blonde locks. Surreal!

So, what do you ladies think of my list? I hope I’ve convinced you to take a dive into the peekaboo world! Comment below and let me know which color you would like to try. Slay on, queens!
