Thankful for one last BL2 update

stuarthome3 · October 22, 2015, 9:21pm

There are still various patches which could positively affect the way the community experiences this game, and it would be fantastic if Gearbox would release a final update addressing some or all of these issues.

Move the “aquamarine” skins to the correct folder so that Maliwan sniper rifles can spawn with their gemstone prefix.
Patch Boll to drop the Fastball
Make the droprate hotfix permanent and not internet-dependent
Prevent Deathtrap from attempting to restore the shield of a player in FFYL
Increase spawn rates of OOO, UBA Varkids and Vermivorous the Invincible in OP levels
Increase Terramorphous the Invincible’s chance to drop his Unique items

That’s all I can think of now, I’m sure there are many players who have encountered things they would like to see improved or rectified. The point being, I love this game, and I’d like to see the developers show it just a little more love in the form of one final patch.

I’d also like to see at least one more Backpack and Bank SDU, even if they each cost 500 eridium. This is the end-endgame, the player deserves more space for their gear. But that’s more asking for a new feature than a bug fix or irritant in the game so I didn’t include it in the OP

As much as it hurts to say this, they won’t do any of that you know. It brings them no profit.

stuarthome3 · October 22, 2015, 9:33pm

I cry erryday

ACNAero · October 22, 2015, 9:34pm

If they do that they might as well make his entire AI smarter, and after 3 years I doubt they’ll do that. However, 1-3 and 5-6 I would like to see, as well as just have them make all the remaining hot fixes into a hard patch.

Krieg_Krazy · October 22, 2015, 9:34pm

I know the feels bruh, I just can’t get the unique Terramorphous items.

WinterschneeFee · October 22, 2015, 9:39pm

I’d love to see that stuff (especially Vermivorous) but who knows what they have in mind for the probably next patch.

Although Terramorphous has a pretty decent chance of dropping his stuff with the hotfix having two 1:10 chances per kill. Still a pain because he has seven different drops…

liamwoods7227 · October 22, 2015, 9:45pm

no way coz in the last few days me and a friend have killed him over 15 times and all he’s dropped is slayer and the breath. he needs higher chances for everything and a lower chance for the slayer

WinterschneeFee · October 22, 2015, 9:51pm

No need to lower the chance for Slayer, it is guaranteed and doesn’t lower the chance for any of the other drops.
It’s also really easy to miss the non-Legendary stuff considering all his stuff is in different colors.
Never said they shouldn’t change anything though, it is a pain to farm that miserable pile of disappointment. I never really understood why a boss much stronger than every other boss (but Vermivorous) in the vanilla game has the same chance (but two of them at least) of dropping ONE of seven different drops (but I did get a few double drops since the hotfix) AND takes a rather long time to reach.
What’s the logic in that? I do want something to be done about that too

Jeffybug · October 22, 2015, 10:22pm

Hang in there

Poisd2Strike · October 22, 2015, 10:43pm

Please tell us that at least the following two things will occur, via a final patch:

The hotfix, that increases Legendary drops, will be made permanent.
We will get the missing, currently unobtainable skins (Dahl Efficiency? and variants for all characters, excluding the GBX employees only skin) that were made available to players who purchased THC.

AMG_75 · October 22, 2015, 10:48pm

I like the sounds of this.

stuarthome3 · October 22, 2015, 10:56pm

Yes, the skins, that’s very good point.

anon13808724 · October 22, 2015, 11:14pm

Yes. This. Those are the only things I’ve been clamoring for in a final patch, specifically because both seem to be easy to do. Increasing the chances of the evolving bosses would be very nice indeed, but I wouldn’t mind if they weren’t changed. There’s some other small stuff that needs fixing, but I’d understand if those problems aren’t possible to fix. However, the drop rate hotfix being made permanent and the missing skins seem like a no brainer.

Poisd2Strike · October 22, 2015, 11:32pm

Making the hotfix permanent and allowing us to get the currently unobtainable character skins would probably be least likely to cause any other issues. It would be nice if Boll could be patched to actually drop the Fastball grenade mod, but something like that is more likely to cause issues elsewhere. At least I assume that is why GBX has never patched Boll.

Gulfwulf · October 23, 2015, 12:23am

Give us another patch and I’ll take back all of the nasty things I’ve said about you.

KerMaster · October 23, 2015, 1:38am

Great ideas.

steamnixtest · October 23, 2015, 2:35am

Vermivorous isn’t so bad. I get him (her?) lots. I got 3 norfleets in 4 days at one point. Solo using 4 player glitch.

Poisd2Strike · October 23, 2015, 2:46am

If the spawn rate of Vermivorous was boosted in TVHM and UVHM, the 4 player glitch would be somewhat less of a necessity for a solo player (depending upon the rate boost). Also, when you spawn Vermivorous via the 4 player glitch, she is more difficult to kill, solo, than she would be had you gotten her to spawn solo but without the 4 player glitch.

steamnixtest · October 23, 2015, 4:01pm

Activating the 4 glitch is quick and easy and, at Farmhouse and the first Caustic varkid area, Vermi is ridiculously easy to kill. I haven’t lost her once in the last…15 -18 appearances.
