Battleplan #9: 7/7/16

That’s actually a great question. They’re still dropping the disabled legendaries even though they haven’t been usable for awhile now. It’d probably be a good idea to take them out of the loot tables until they can actually be used.

Also, is this loot drop increase going to so anything to PvP? It seems to he favored over PvE, but it gives no loot at all other than from leveling.

The peak of the players for the first time fell below 800 ( 784 ) , and the bottom bracket to break the mark of 300 ( 279 ) . How are you going to raise / return online ?

Personally, I have no beef w/ the new matchmaking. I’m on PC so my wait times haven’t been the best as a rule. But at least now I get extra XP and credits for waiting. Additionally, I like farming legendaries so the news about drop rate increase is welcomed.

[Aside/suggestion]
Maybe increase the bonus based on how long the matchmaking took? The default remains 25% but allow it to grow as much as 100% or more based on how long queuing takes.

This game has its problems. I know it, you know, your bosses know it, and all the people complaining knows it and when people are unhappy they are generally more vocal than when they aren’t but I wanted to give u a honest perspective that the intent of the change, at least with me, is being met. Keep trying GBX because as long as you do I’m not going anywhere!

Toodles,

Me!

Drop rates should’ve never been as low as they were, the idea that you have redo a mission dozens and dozens of times just for the chance of getting a drop is ridiculous.

I’d much rather spend all that time actually using said gear in pvp.

100% agree. But I think they went a little too far in the other direction. I’ve gotten a legendary from all but one of the missions I ran since the change. So instead of 1 every 10 missions it feels like 8-9 every 10 missions. I would have been happy around 5 or 6.

@JoeKGBX there’s an exploit on Overgrowth in incursion that benedict can only do, in which he get’s on top of the barrier attached to the Bunker where the stinger turret is, it allows him to attack not just the Sentry but the thumper turret & the Supply Station as well and he wouldnot take any damage at all if the enemy does not have a range character(mellka, marquis, isic ect) i have proof of it too if you need me to send it to you?

Have you sent it through the support?

https://gearboxsoftware.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

That’s where you officially repport bugs. Someone else at Gearbox will contact you and keep track of the bug.

no i haven’t but i was trying to let that know about it, i will try that

well i just sent it to them, when do they reply back?

I’m glad to hear that you guys are going to revert the matchmaking system, good call. However I would like to see the “spotlight” battle stay, those were good, and fast to connect as well.

Lootpacks legendary drop rate increased too? Im only missing those.

I’m only missing doomsday because heliophage adv with pubs sometimes an be a mess.

Also pls pls pls!! More loadouts!!! Was a pain to break some loadouts to have 0 shards for capture, my team got steamroled because mostly none of us was ready for that mode.

This is a good question. Unfortunately, we won’t be re-enabling the grayed out legendaries next weekend, but we’re getting a lot closer to them coming back.

Will disabled legendaries be replaced on the drop tables then? As it is now it’s essentially giving you nothing when you should be getting a piece of legendary gear.

I hate to say it but just like with nerfs and buffs (characters, gear, bosses) they have to do 50% or more.

It’s kind of their thing now lol.

Far as the battleplan goes… meh not much they can do right now I guess. I do like that they took the heat visual off of Ghalts ultimate. It looked cool but it was very distracting.

@JoeKGBX since they adjusted Ghalt visuals in a hotfix: Are they ever going to adjust how much of the screen is taken up when playing as Galilea? I play split screen and it’s bad enough by itself but playing as Galilea is hard because her shield (when you don’t even have it up/guarding) and sword take up 2/3 of the screen. You only get a clear view of everything when you’re attacking and even then you have the enemy and visuals (abilities being used etc) cluttering your view. Otherwise when walking with Galilea you have many blindspots on your screen.

She’s been nerfed a ton (albeit she needed some of them), has a large purple circle identifying her location, and she has these blindspots due to her weapon and shield.

@JoeKGBX can anything be done about her shield blocking the left side of the screen when not guarding?
