How about a new topic. What "bandaid" would like to see removed?

We know there have been many "bandaids" added as temporary fixes to problems but remained after a "fix" was implemented. What bandaids would you like to see removed?

For starters, there were several perks changed to bandaid the 0 reload weapons (Zagger). Now that they "fixed" the animation glitch, I would like to see those perks looked at again. Preparedness for one needs to go back and cooldown removed from Time out.

Second, scoring nerf and reward cap. The bandaid was added due to the increased amount of rare loot it was flooding the game with. The "fix" came in the form of a decrease in the RNG. Now it takes us MUCH longer to pull this extremely lowered chance. Grinding for 40 minutes to pull a t4 box to not get anything of value is much easier to stomach then to grind for hours with the same results.

IMO-- RNGesus' death grip on pretty much all in-game reward drops.. lol

Jackpot items being locked to the ego of a player.

Id also like the .5 reload cap to be removed

i asked about the reload cooldowns in one of the last couple livestreams...the answer was that they are staying. i don't know if there are transcripts anywhere, but it sounded to me like they were claiming it was still possible to build a 0 reload weapon, so not really sure what they were saying. anyway, basically they like the balance with the cooldown even though the zagger which caused all the kerfuffle got nerfed anyway.

I was reading an old thread where the devs said they were removing a lot of weapons from the lockbox prize lists because they felt they were "undesirable" and wanted to re-introduce them once they'd buffed or rebalanced them or whatever. Well, they never did that, so how about returning all those weapons to the lists? Finding 85% shotguns in the lockboxes is also undesirable. If they go ahead and buff the guns like they were supposed to before returning them to the lists that would be a nice bonus, but either option is cool with me.

These were both fixes, not bandaids.
The bandaid to the weekly present (named event gear) was the "non-tradable" aspect. The fix was forcing the ego to the ego of the toon that pulled it.

The 0.5 min reload was a fix to the broken animation of anything with a zero reload. Like I said in the OP, the perks that got nerfed were the bandaids. Anything tied to "on full reload" got a long cooldown bandaid. Anything on "duration on full reload" got a long cooldown bandaid. Preparedness went from 10% ammo refill per second on stowed, to a % of stowed on full reload. Now this was a bandaid put in place because you could still skip the reload animation if you ran 2 Zaggers. Shoot-switch to secondary-Shoot and repeat. Some of this is a little more involved...this was just the short version of it. Lol

Yep, they are still not in rotation as far as a possible legendary pull or drop. I would LOVE to see the Nomad finally get its buff. Ive been a collector of them since day one but they just cant compete with any of the other smgs.
