I'm honestly surprised and happy the pipe bomb fix is coming this early.
I decided to abuse it because I just missed the boat with the Loot Tink and Grave/Chup drops before the hotfix, but I mainly ended up abusing it because I was so damn sick of gaining a single guardian point, then going -30, taking
hours to get out of the hole to gain a single point, only to end up at -31 as soon as I would spend it (each new point just added one more to the previous deficit record too). Graveward offline gives seven times as much experience as online as well, so you would get a point per kill until you amassed a large surplus.
I honestly don't know if it's just a UI error and the ranks really are supposed to take that long, but I just said fuck it and started farming offline to get out of the hole and to actually earn some if the experience online was truly bugged. I'm at a point now where I have 10% - 15% in everything important and each new point only adds .25% or less.
finally beat killavolt last night, my god man, never again
one thing that has been frustrating me lately about the game though is how weak I feel and how much damage the enemies do. I dont want it to just be a cakewalk, dont get me wrong, but I feel like I am constantly near death and everyone takes multiple rounds to kill.
im not sure if I just have weak weapons or what, but I always feel like I am on the verge of death.
He really is the easiest boss in the game once you actually get a certain item (you can get it later from a quest as well as a world drop). The first time though, and if you ran into the floor bug? God. Worst boss until Traunt (who because easier a lot earlier for me). And yes, your weapons matter a lot in this. It's less of an issue once you hit 50 since most everything that drops is 50, with the odd 49, but while progressing through the story, you can really feel it when your weapons are not at least blue and the same level as the enemies you are facing. Another thing, is that even though they are boring, and you might think you wouldn't need them all that much; the health regen skills, damage reduction or shield bonus skills each character has helps immensely.
edit: Probably my favorite weapon subclass now, and they come in five flavors. They absolutely shred on a melee Amara, but I guess it helps having a 45% bonus to crits with Hyperion weapons on my class mod. They are just satisfying to shoot in general and their only downside is having to frequently reload.
