I’ve watched many video’s on how to get a level 50 Thorny Ol’ Rosie and the Continuous dmg was at 516% now on the PS4 Handsome Collection and i got the Thorny Ol’ Rosie and the continuous dmg is 368%. Why nerf our weapons and not the op bosses. Trolls do not post in this thread. Fact is the bosses are OP. I see a lot of 3rd party websites hosting power boosts for people. There is a problem when thousands of people need a boost. Nerfing our weapons and Legendary drop rates causes an alarm in my gaming community. PS3 and XBOX360 got to enjoy a reasonable drop rate and strong weapons. I spent my 60$ for the PS4 version and i feel like i’m getting ripped off. I say to you please fix these issues. Also there is a bug going around where when you go to sell your junk to vending machines it doesn’t show what is in the back pack but only equipt items. Sorry for the SP. (Spelling)!

They didn’t want to base UVHM around the thought that everyone was using overpowered gear like they did with BL2.
-
YouTubers told everyone that the Rosie was the greatest weapon in the game and no one should use anything else except the Rosie. So then multiplayer was apparently nothing but Rosies, Eddies, and Bulwarks (I think that’s the name of the shield). The lack of diversity got to be out of hand. However, the Rosie is still one of the best lasers in the game, so don’t fret.
Are you a time-traveller? Rosie nerf? Decreased drop rates?

Try the absolute zero, beast damage offset by small mag, locked in cryo element.
I supposed they nerfed the rosie because people weren’t using anything else. -
OP bosses? Presequel has the most powerful playable characters across all 3 games. You don’t need the old Rosie like you needed a Bee shield in BL2 for example (and people made builds work without the bee shield too, but that’s beside the point)
Eclipse/EOS is a massive difficulty spike yes, here’s a protip: when entering his lair, look to your 10 o’clock. There’s a jump-pad with a vertical tube above it. Go in there with several weapon types (ammo), bounce up and down, shoot, and win. This applies to any class. Or do [this][1], I read in your other topic you have an Athena -
They actually just increased drop rates, for a whole month
-
That vendor bug seems annoying

Cryo is locked in for Rosie?
Is that a recent development?
I have a few in all elements across several toons and mules…,
I was talking about the absolute zero, read it again 
Damn my illiteracy!
My bad!
Bosses are supposed to be hard. Not impossible, but definitely stronger than the average enemy. The only boss that is brutally difficult is the final boss in the DLC.
If you are relying solely on the Rosie, no offense but I’m kind of surprised you got that far in the first place. Also, it’s not like you spent $60 just to use one gun, and it’s not like toning down one gun (which is still plenty powerful if used correctly) just made the game unplayable.
As for these “power boosts”, those are for people who want to one shot everything, because they don’t enjoy a challenge.
The nerfed it because they are under the impression that nerfing guns stops people from just using the strongest gun. Boy, are they wrong on that front.
The Rosie at that time in the game needed the nerf it was too stronk
The Rosie was never nerfed; It was balanced. How is a 368% continuous damage bonus considered a “nerf”? Not to mention the numerous laser damage boosts you can get from various pieces of gear and skills…
I’ve gotten that inventory bug you mentioned, though. It’s quite rare, and only happens when I’m connected to a laggy host. Reconnecting fixes it.
The only boss that is too strong is the Claptraps DLC boss, which is an insane difficulty spike.
Hopefully since they dialled the Rosie back, they can dial that back too. At least the story line boss.
Keep the hard, original one for farming or something. Best of both worlds that way.
I love reading all of your posts. I appreciate the sincere responses and laugh at those who question my integrity. No I didn’t pay 60$ based upon 1 gun. Obviously raid bosses are supposed to be harder than the normal ads or npc’s, badasses. Lol. But the fact remains with this game and any other online game. You have a company who produces a video game. You have schmucks who have no life that play all day and figure out glitches then turn around and get on the forums whinning it’s too easy lying to themselves that they cheated. Game devs change the game and legit people who play pay the price. Same thing on dcuo, warframe, defiance etc etc. None of you explained why the legendary drop rate was lowered so low but you can explain why a gun was nerfed. Lol. I been playing video games since Caleco and Atari. How many of you can say your even old enough to have seen them? Fact is I pay for a service. Stop changing my product I have bought! I was going to curse but I will refrain. Seriously. It would be nice to have all the bennefits that ps3 and xbox360 got. Just because I’m on ps4 or xbox one doesn’t give you the right to change the game and bend me over!
I wouldn’t expect that either way. The rosie was nerfed way in the long ago. It’s been perma-patched in so I can’t even drop the hotfixes anymore. 
I’m sure the it was taken into account when they made EOS. On the plus side he’s just beefy:
Tombstone/showdown/maggie <— murdered him Nisha style
Companyman/MIP/Plethoraofkillskills <-----Jack Attack
As far as I know, drop rates / item fixes / patches / “nerfs” a re universal across all platforms.
No platform is being “mistreated”.
Now, to demonstrate how powerful the Ol Rosie is even post balancing, i am currently level 48 taking my Clappy uo to 50 by fighting Iwa.
Before gifting myself a Rosie from another toon, the fight would take about 5 minutes (using purple or orange fire based guns) and i would have to dodge, use grenades, kill some minions, etc.
With the Rosie?
A minute.
Maybe.
No dodging or actual fighting required.
It is still VERY powerful.
It’s Gearbox’s software, they can change it as they please. All you do is buy the privilege to play the software. I’m not going to argue, because there’s nothing to argue about. That’s just how it is now.
No, but it seemed that way because patching and hotfixing is a more recent thing. A long time ago they couldn’t patch anything so how you bought it was how it was. You’re 30, you should know this better than me, right?
I absolutely do!
Thought maybe you meant something else.
Thanks for clarifying!
Nothing from the pre sequel should have been nerfed, not even roid shields. This game needs everything it had going for it, nerfing items is the opposite of what needs to happen
Nerfung is the wrong term.
Balancing.
