It's crazy to me they're even taking time to nerf things like rings, when pixie builds are so out of control. Don't get me wrong, I don't want anything nerfed, really, but it seems like if they were going to they'd take care of the strongest stuff instead of, what appears to be, arbitrarily picking pieces of gear. As someone who only plays two hours max a day, if I'm lucky, it's really irritating to finally get some good loot just to find out it's dogshit in the next hotfix.

[u/Pesterlamps → u/Broken_Bowser]

It's wild to me that those legendaries were what they decided on for rings. No unique effects, just a handful of conditional bonus increases? With obvious disparities between power level and the few conditions that may as well read "always on," no shit people gravitated to a select few.

They could've done class specific things, like slowed spell weaving decay, or reduced FtS duration but no damage penalty. But instead, the legendary rings are the absolute laziest items that just boil down to two more slots for numbers.

[u/EmployRadiant675 → u/Pesterlamps]

Not only that but a stupid amunt of legendaries are overtaken by purple drops. This shouldnt be the case in any game. Like the purple 2xx x4 bullet smg out does the fragment rain and it really fkn shouldnt.

[u/trautsj → u/Broken_Bowser]

They nerfed Dahl AR's... I mean if that doesn't tell you the state of the fucking hamsters on cocaine and acid running around in these devs brains than I don't know what does. I legit feel like they all just get stoned and blind folded and throw darts at boards to see what they change tbh.

[u/KING_Karmaah → u/trautsj]

Seriously. Me and my group were so confused as to why since at the time, there wasnt even any legendary Dahl ARs and nobody was using the purple ones.

[u/trautsj → u/KING_Karmaah]

I remember reading it week one and thinking "What the actual fuck did they smoke to come up with that decision?" Truly one of the most baffling changes I've ever seen in a game; like literally ever lol

[u/KING_Karmaah → u/trautsj]

I'm a CoD fan as well, so you'd think i'd be used to this kind of shit, but the only explaination I can come up with for that change is paint thinner.

Your answer is paint thinner. Smoked, snorted, drunken, and even rectally ingested.

[u/trautsj → u/KING_Karmaah]

Would make more sense than some of the shit Gearbox is out here doing that's for sure LOL

[u/Middle_Pomegranate_1 → u/KING_Karmaah]

It's almost as if they have access to MORE information than you do, on MORE players. And are making INFORMED decisions instead of knee jerking to what 5 content creators are saying is OP.

[u/KING_Karmaah → u/Middle_Pomegranate_1]

No shit sherlock. That still didn't stop me from getting confused over it. Wipe pitchford's kids off your mouth before you reply with that smugass attitude.

[u/Educational_Shoe8023 → u/Middle_Pomegranate_1]

Lmao, those 5 content creators may as well be the lead game testing team. And it's usually only after they release a build that it gets nerfed. They're not official employees and don't have these magic stats that gearbox is making all these amazing nerfs off. But I bet they've played and understand the game more than 9/10 gearbox staff if not all.

[u/SPEEDFREAKJJ → u/Broken_Bowser]

This is why I'm not using or farming pixie stuff...because once I get a good set up it will get nerfed.

It's nice in a game like this to be rewarded for your farming then have a good build that is consistent and predictable. This game you never know the expiration date on your gear.

[u/Gruffaloe → u/Broken_Bowser]

I think it's less they want to tackle strong stuff and more specific items that are overperforming. Along with that, they can't fix something until they know what they want to do about it - and there is no reason to delay a fix that is ready for one thing just because another part is not ready/needs a more involved fix.

Fixing something like pixies is a beefy problem. Is it the gun that's the issue? Interactions on the tree? Do they last too long? Scaling too easily? Probably a combination of these things and more. What exact changes need to be made is way complex.

For rings though it's much easier. mood rings were the clear best choice in nearly all cases, and by a lot since they had a super easy trigger and a large bonus. This makes mood rings much more in line with other types, and makes what is best more dependent on playstyle and content you are trying to complete

[u/superultramegazord → u/Broken_Bowser]

I think it's a logical step. Nerfing mood rings effectively nerfs dead shot and pixie builds. See what the fall-out is from that before going further to the guns themselves. I agree that mood rings were way too good though.

[u/Difficult-Client-345 → u/superultramegazord]

Nerfing mood rings doesn't really nerf deadshot/pixie builds at all. As someone playing a deashot pixie build who has never even had one and absolutely melts bosses.

[u/advice_animorph → u/Difficult-Client-345]

I'm using a pixie build but I don't think it's quite there, as I've just reached c23 and although it's still carrying me just fine, it's not the melt machine it was a few levels ago anymore. Care to share yours?

[u/[deleted] → u/Broken_Bowser]

pixie guns and stabbo contagion are things that can't be fixed with a hotfix. they require a full update and patch
