    Can't help it, but I think the Evil Smasher should fire two projectiles per shot (at the cost of two ammo) as it already has two barrels anyway. Should give it more "In your face!" even without the procc. The special effect just would be the icing on the cake, not its sole main feature.

      @@HiHelloHi oh well. They are just probably playing alone or with friends. I am playing with my girlfriend, and we don't open lobby cuz we play in our own pace, you know. Once I accidentally opened the lobby to public, someone joined, started running somewhere, killing everyone, taking quests which we haven't even read yet.
      But leveling and unlocking OP levels is pain in the ass. After completing TVHM It took us about 50 hours of AFK farming the Sanctuary dummy to get lvl80. And then we started unlocking OP... It took 3 evenings to unlock OP8, but that was our limit. With purple guns the whole run took almost 2 hours, like, the two Scorches alone are taking 5-10 minutes to kill... So we had to ask for help from random peoples. Unfortunately the guy who helped us was using modded weapons, which he then started to give away. I took them to look polite, but then I dropped them when he left.
      So as you can see from our experience - apart from being helped with OP10, randoms joining usually bring chaos or cheats to your game.

    This weapon was supposed to be a bag of hot garbage. You go through the quest, Kai is a bit of a dick to pandorans, and Marcus gives him a terrible gun and sends him to his death. You don't realize this until you pick up the weapon and find it to be terrible, and some of us got the joke.
    However, gearbox decided that they shouldn't actually make an intentional terrible gun (although they obviously made a few). They gave it a unique effect that won't appear on the card, keeping the joke alive, but was powerful enough to make up for how weak it normally is. Then there was the glitch, and everything had to be reworked.
    That's basically the whole story. It's supposed to suck. Like a dirt devil. Or the vacuum of space. Making it proc more often would be the only justifiable way to respect the original intent and yet buff a terrible weapon.
    Edit: fixed a typo.

    See, I enjoyed using the gamebreaking glitches because I'm a bad player. It made it fun for me. The other thing is, those who chose not to use them, could still avoid using them and remove anybody who did from their server. At this point though, most of the people playing are either streamers, solo players, or small groups of friends. Having the glitches available is not a problem. Say, for example, you don't want to do a glitch. You can play 100% of the game without the glitch, and not ever worry about. For those of us unskilled enough to go without them, including other people is less fun than becoming an overpowered hunk... This is the exact same reason I don't play above op4 with any of my op8 characters. I can, but I don't want to. Same goes for glitches. You can, but if you don't want to, nobody is making you.

    Ways they could have fixed the Evil Smasher without nerfing it to hell
    1. Remove Merging
    2. Made the Evil Smasher effect 1 in 5 (and maybe 4 in 5 that it will happen again to make it keep the bonuses if you proc'd the effect.)
    3. maybe fix the servers so that if someone was using the Combination of Bee Smasher or Conference Bee at the early part of borderland's Life Span they would have a mark.

    Honestly I think one of the biggest things I love the most about this community patch farming wise is not only the drop rates but it fixes that bullshit glitch with hyperius where if he kills you and you respawn his health bar is still on screen and you’re locked out of his arena forcing you to savequit and go through half the washburne refinery again. I bore hyperius so it isn’t always gonna be a kill for me and for times I’d die to him before I found out how to apply the patch it would be so vexing to see his health bar and a red unpullable lever. Everytime that happened it would kill my courage to play the game. Feels great that I don’t have to worry about possibly being locked out of his arena whenever I die to him now that I can apply the patch.

    This gun would be much cooler IMO if you get the special effect 100% guaranteed by hitting all of your shots or killing an enemy with your last clip. Especially with the latter, it could snowball into being a truly powerful rifle that is skill-based rather than luck-based.

    I'm still partial to the Ogre and Seeker myself! Not had good RNG farming perfect Rock rifles... Non save edited file, running to get eridium over and over was too much for me!
    I'd also recommend the Slippery prefix. Dps wise it out performs or at least matches other damage accessories, has no accuracy penalty and the projectiles move faster!

  • @richardprice4945
    @richardprice4945 3 года назад +1

    I can see why it was patched, but I think it's also a piss take that raid bosses are set to make either play co op or run a specific character with a specific build using a cheap tactic zero/bore/ca on hyperius. If raid bosses were more reasonably balanced and not a controller smashing experience for a solo player. Glitches like the evil smasher glitch would not have been so heavily abused. Some of us just don't particularly want to play multiplayer thanks. I love playing boarderlands but I absolutely detest the way the game is balanced to try and essentially stomp on you until you give in and find people to help you beat certain bosses because they are so ridiculously hard to beat in ultimate vault hunter mode/op.

    As an advocate for a weapon still held in high regard for a glitch, the less glitches that are in this game, the better.
    Most of the people still playing this game regularly probably do so because they don't abuse glitches, therefore there's more to do, there's more enjoyment in doing what they enjoy, and more dedication to the magic of Borderlands 2.
    More or less, I agree. I'm glad the glitch is gone. Next is damage swap, Salvador offhand and fixing the Bee completely.
    But that won't happen.

    Okay, for newer players who want to kick ass early in the game, this can still help you.
    Just delete the update from your console. This is 2019 and I’m still using the glitch. I kill teramorphis in less than 1 second. First thing I do is delete the update, then I work on the glitch. The glitch does not stack. You have to keep doing the glitch until your game begins to lag. Takes about 20 to 45 minutes of glitching. I destroy everything and I mean everything when I reach the level that I want.
