Had my first orange gun drop today out in the Dust while on that Bane gun quest. Not sure what the flavor text is all about, as you can see I need to level up again to even use it.  Not bad for 25 though.

Bob NewSCART posted:Also the only oranges I've seen are a shield that shoots corrosive homing spikes, and the bee shield(which is ridiculous) The Bee and Conference Call on Salvador is seriously the most amazingly broken thing ever right now. Like you can go to any boss, virtually any at all and that sucker's going to die within a few seconds. So far my only Orange weapon so far came from lucking out with Moxxi's slot machines, some sniper rifle with red Man Killer text. Also speaking of Goliaths, two corrosive Goliaths fighting is hilarious, they just stand there and vomit on each other, for eternity.

If you've got a skill at 5/5, do class mods giving a plus to that skill add anything?

Yes. They bring it up beyond the max and add to the bonuses you get.

GreatGreen posted:I think the traditional loot idea is that low levels - white, mid levels - blues and greens, max levels - phat purps and oranges. I loathe games doing the "color goes up with level" poo poo because it ruins the entire point of those tiers to begin with. White should always be "basic" with green being "above average" then blue as "good", purple is "great, lasts for awhile" and gold is "gently caress yes, using this for a long time". Instead of "oh ok I'll replace this purple in two levels with another purple" which is how a lot of games (especially MMOs) are being setup. All of my weapons for the majority of the game were white-green, with the occasional blue or purple/pink that I'd ditch because the gimmicks got old. Even my class mods were all white and green. My best weapon for the last boss was a high RoF sniper rifle that was around 1270 damage because I could consistently crit with it vs spray and pray of ARs and SMGs. We got plenty of blue drops (often stuff we didn't feel like using) and a fair amount of purples. It's not throwing oranges at us like Torchlight but it's more than I'd get in a run through of Diablo 2 as far as random drops go. Hell we'd get blues/purples from breaking open the poo poo/debris piles a few times.

ThePhenomenalBaby posted:Hey PC Master Race guys. Internet scuttlebutt proposes that the Vault Hunter Relic is nonfunctional and the game never checks that +5% rare drop value at all. Is this actually true? It modifies two attributes: GD_Balance.Weighting.GearDrops_RareWeightModifier: +0.05 GD_Balance.Weighting.GearDrops_CommonWeightModifier: -0.06 Let's set them to +100.00 and -100.00!   Net result: I have not seen a single white weapon drop, greens drop, seen a few blues. Nothing else. So, what I can gauge from this, is that it shifts a 5% of your chance for whites into non-whites. Doesn't touch anything else. Very low impact, perhaps bordering on useless.

CJacobs posted:I don't know who exactly was going around saying "Purples are absolutely required to beat the game because they are the best and oranges are too rare!!!" but that sure sounds like what you're trying to prevent people from saying, even though nobody is saying it. I've never found a single item in a store that was better than what I already had (and that's still not changed from the first game) but does it mean the stores will always have lovely stuff in them? No, but it does mean that my stuff is all better, even if it's not all purple. I will say this: 99% of the time, stores have lovely stuff in them. One time I found a pretty sweet-rear end machinegun that was in the "deal of the day" section, but generally stores sell junk nobody would want. Vendors should have moderately better equipment. Let the fools pay 300% markups for their precious blues!

Operant posted:This game actually probably one of the better games I've played in years, just completed my first runthrough. It's everything that Diablo III should have been. The difficulty ramps up pretty hard but not enough to be frustrating, it has great writing, it's humorous, surprisingly dark and impactful at times, colorful, and a blast to play with friends. That Dahlminator pistol is SO GOOD. If you look closely, it shoots out tiny little white projectiles that leave trails. They evidently ricochet in addition to being homing rounds. I enjoyed using that in combination with a slag SMG: butter up loaders with the SMG, then fire the pistol as fast as possible. Screw you, PWR loaders.

I was just able to redeem it, and so was another friend of mine who was waiting for it to stabilize. I'm glad they're getting this testing out of the way now; I'd hate to see this happen if they did another one of those 1,000 redemption codes.

If it's in your quest log, then your friends should be able to complete it with you (plus, I'm sure it'll be available as DLC later on).
