BOOMER IS NOT SPAWNING

If there are issues with bosses not spawning, Fix them first! Farming bosses is a huge part of the fun of this game. I can’t tell you the countless hours my buddies and I spent farming bosses in BL2. Killing an enemy for a legendary weapon is much more satisfying then finding one in a vending machine or grinding one in the grinder.

It looks like Boomer is not spawning since the 5/19/15 patch. I’ve tried on 2 of my characters in different modes and a friend has tried as well. He is not spawning. Please fix this.

I’ve got the same problem on the PS3, he’ll spawn during “Nothing is never an Option!” but won’t respawn afterwards and this problem only started once the 1.06 patch was released :frowning:.

This is going to be my last post in this thread because I feel like I’m being annoying:

1: This has been an issue in both BL2 and TPS on PS3/360 (I don’t know if it’s there for PS4/Xbone.) but as players (or at least my girlfriend and I along with numerous others) level up their characters and play though Normal and True Vault Hunter mode, saving and going to UI menus like your inventory, Moon Zoomy stations, and Bank goes from being seamless to creating growing amounts of lag.
The lag spikes from saving is a significant problem in the Claptastic Voyage due to it causing myself and other players to fall off of small platforms or drop out of the data streams while in main game areas it can make fighting enemies frustrating (Most prominently in Veins of Helios, Lunar Launching Station, Regolith Range, Eleseer, and Crisis Scar).
The Zoomy lag in Triton Flats is so bad it has caused at least 5 crashes since October 20th 2014.
While the UI Inventory/Bank lag just make scrolling through items rather difficult and occasionally bugging my cursor into flickering around forcing me to leave the menu.
P.S. I understand that this may be an extremely difficult issue to fix.

2: The missions Rose Tinting and 3GO-TP are bugged. While on my first UVHM run I experienced no problems, on subsequent runs both started having problems (In Rose Tinting, MINAC’s turrets don’t spawn until quitting and returning multiple times while 3GO-TP’s trophies never show up on UI and in game maps making it literally impossible to complete).

3: Wilhelm’s Wolf Drone occasionally tends to fly off in a random direction for reasons unknown and the Saint Drone tends to hover in my face in combat for a small amount of time before moving.

I haven’t experienced the lag issues you’ve reported or the issue with the Rose Tinted mission but I have had the others and they are super annoying, with the 3GO-TP mission bug being the worst problem I’ve experienced so far :frowning:.

@NetherTraitor258- you’re certainly not getting annoying! We definitely want to know about the issues you’re experiencing so we can notify the team. Important feedback is important! :smile:

Xbox one version (handsome collection)
*Online matchmaking comes up with no results. (Both TPS, and #2) with any level chars.

… And yes I checked my settings. there all good.
This needs fixed asap. I know people play, I have this on PS4 as well and it has tons of people on. Xbox is more fun though. This is quite annoying.

@Sithin7- would you mind terribly if I asked you to fill out a support request for this one? I think getting this into our system would be valuable. Thanks!

I’ve made a ticket for this issue. Though nothing was resolved with any of their trouble shooting ideas. Looking online to see if anyone else had this issue and it seems the majority of people are having this issue with Xbox one, leading me to believe it’s a issue on gearboxes end, with people complaining on forums from 6 months ago till now. (Also the downloadable marketplace from in-game option is unavailable to look if there are any downloads missing. (Compatibility packs)).

@carlito_pr07: Thanks for sharing this. The team is aware of the issue involving the Slag-licked challenge and they’re looking it!

#149

Out of curiosity: Some bug causes these challenges to become -2^31 (or 32 Bit) doesn’t it?
I’ve had it happening myself recently, not sure if it happened before or after the PS3 to PS4 transfer, as my Burn, Corrosive and Slag challenges were bugged like that too.

It’s like the good ol’ money cap of BL1. Good times.

#150

It’s not just the Slag challenge that’s messed up, the ones for dealing fire, shock and corrosive damage, as well as the one for healing yourself are screwed up as well :frowning:.

ya, those challenges have been bugged sense the handsome collection came out, alot are still waiting on that patch, suprised its even still a problem for this game, but things have slowed down on it alot lately, lets hope we get a patch sometime. i dont even play BL anymore until they get a good patch out to fix alot of the issue, im tired of the fix thing that always requires internet everytime to get it, But have crossed my fingers that GB doesnt forget us

#152

Oh @renegade67Rick, you know we will never forget you! ;D

#153

Btw this on ps4 the handsome collection dont know if that matters but just letting you know.

#154

Definitely good info to have. Thanks @carlito_pr07!

Since a lot of people complain about Wilhelm’s low damage compared to the other characters, what if Rolling Thunder increased his damage in addition to Wolf’s? It wouldn’t affect general mobbing too much, and he’d still have lower damage compared to the others, but it would give him more damage potential in his own unique way.

This is my final post lol
The Clatastic Voyage enemies named Bugs (the little flying ones that all have the same single death quote) inflict obscene damage via close range electric shockwaves on True and Ultimate (up to 171K in the latter mode) making fighting the Denial Subroutine, ECLIPSE and EOS even more difficult than it should be, can they be nerfed to just inflict the same amount of damage as the Lost Legion/Scav Jet Fighters’ shockwaves (not enough to instantly annihilate shields)?

I’ll add video evidence of the Save Lag issue I mentioned in the future if it helps explain what I’m talking about.
Thank you for reading BTW. :grinning:

@Jeffybug and @JoeKGBX

One thing that could make freezing less constant on TPS in the Handsome Collection, is if enemy bodies actually disappeared from the ground instead of lying there putting a lot of pressure on the hardware.

I powerleveled a friend to lv 25 and it crashed twice, simply because the PS4 can’t handle all those bodies on the screen while shooting guardians for example.

From my point of view I cannot see a good thing about bodies not disappearing from the ground, in fact I’d say the opposite, it can make loot harder to see depending on the corpse stance.

I don’t know if anyone has suggested this but I have two skills that kinda need a buff a little.

1: You’ve Got Red On You. Athena skill I think it has the potential to be good but the explosion damage is a little
lackluster in my opinion.

2: United Front Athena skill I feel as if this skills shield capacity is a little low and If possible, Can it be boosted to either 25 or 30%?

Thanks for taking the time to read this :slight_smile:
