There's a pretty decent thread on the Borderlands 2 official forums about what quest rewards are worth saving. http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=206072

So I just discovered the magic of using torque weapons with a grenadier mod and grenade damage skills on Axton. Would it be better to go down the middle tree to get the nuke, or left tree for the slag turret? Also for endgame play, would the legendary Commando mod be worth it for the the skill boost to all the tier 1 skills over the extra grenade damage from the mod + boost to Steady?

Monkey Fracas posted:I know the Buffalo kicks a whole lotta' rear end. The Chulainn is fun to play around with as well. The Buffalo is my absolute favorite sniper rifle in the whole game, I've always liked high-damage iron sight rifles. If you have the Torgue DLC the Kitten is a unique Combat Rifle that eats larger bosses alive. Getting a Greed off Scarlet is great just for having one of the only elemental Jakobs revolvers in the game. In the main quest line doing Animal Rights gives you a unique sniper rifle that ignores shields and does pure health damage, the Tresspasser. Save the robot body stuff in the Bloodshot Stronghold so you can get an amazing talking shield or shotgun. There's a unique gun you can get from Hyperion themselves that starts in Overlook too, where you also get the Deadly Bloom shield. There's tons of neat little guns to collect either for their utility or their novelty.

Greenplastic posted:Second edit: What is this shieldless shield ye mention? http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/The_Rough_Rider Thousand Cuts on the way up to the Bunker has a load of enemies to kill and lots and lots of reward chests fighting a uphill battle against fairly difficult enemies can be exciting. Lynchwood has, in my opinion, one of the more fun environments to have a shoot out with a variety of ranges to engage in with about the same amount of chests as Bunker's run in the entire level. Hayter's Folly in the Pirate DLC is pleasant to look at, groovy music and is mostly pirates with some skags and crystalisks and a large number of chests.

Greenplastic posted:Really? What about Moxxi's Heartbreaker? Tiny Tina's teapot-gun? Do they suck at lvl 50? They were sooo good in the first playthrough. In my experience Moxxi's shotgun is a fantastic weapon at level 50. Maybe not super-top-tier, but amazing for how easy it is to get, and it's guaranteed, too. (I use Axton, Metal Storming Moxxi's shotgun is great)

drat, I don't like to cheat. but 127 hours into the game and I have only ever seen two E tech weapons randomly drop... I still haven't seen an Etech SMG, and I am convinced it's nothing more than an urban legend. Does that cheat engine someone listed a while back work with steam?

I gave up on the game a while ago due to the abysmal drop rating and this Cheat Engine stuff is enough to pull me back in. I've been trying to get decent weapons for my Salvador forever.

I feel like the 100/100/40/30/20/10 settings are too much for a first playthrough. I'm still really early but have purple weapons all over the place and just tear through everything.

If you're looking to loosely emulate 1, it is very high. I usually run 100/100/30/17-20/12/7/2 with some shifting depending on how I feel and it tends to fall in the nice sweet spot. You'll get purple usually from red chests and a unique will show up around once every handful of hours of play. It keeps things from becoming a loot shower, honestly. For the legendary setting I usually do not go over 2 and for very unique 7. In fact I usually play 1.5/5 for those two settings.

But even with such a good rate, you are likely to toss a fair number of guns since they don't fit your build/taste. I tossed most of the loot from the screens as it wasn't fitting my style.

I bought the game a long time ago and just decided to play yesterday and holy poo poo why didn't I do this sooner? I noticed it's a bit more difficult than the first game, and seriously gently caress threshers (especially the pyro badass ones). Wondering if there is some way to reset my skills like in the first game. I also love the goliaths, they are such a fun mob to watch after you shoot them in the head a few times.

Anyone know how the Mac Steam version would run on a Macbook Pro with 2.2 quad i7, 8 gig DDR3 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB? AND can you play it with a controller?

Ok, well, since you're willing to repent your console sins, even if it is a ~Mac~ Going by this link; yes, yes you can. They recommend Motion Joy and make sure you have the "Playstation 3" radial button switched to "Xbox 360 Controller Emulator".

Tin Tim posted:Yeah for Pt1 I would tone it down a little. It may still be a tad too good for some people on TVHM, but I really don't care for grinding. gently caress spending hours just to find a single gun that you want. I had that multiple times, when my shotgun or assault rifle got outclassed. Now I run through a couple of chests and probably get something that's good. I actually started running with 200/100/40/30/20/10/5 which makes gun drops from enemies rarer but still gives you a lot of good stuff. The purple and orange rates are still a bit high but I'm having fun. Just took down the Warrior with a Torgue spinigun.

So when you modify the drop rates, can you still host a multiplayer game and have other people join and share the benefits? Also, the game says that grouping is supposed to increase drops, so does that actually amplify the cheatengine changes, or does it overwrite them?

So I'm a little confused about the leveling mechanics in TVHM. Do enemy/quest levels match only to whatever your level is the first time you enter a given area, or do they continue to level with you? Do open quests bump to level 50 if you complete the main quest? I goofed and finished Lilith's quest line so I didn't get the best level version of her shield ( ), but I'd rather not miss out on maxing out the rewards for some other quests.EDIT: Also, do the leveling mechanics differ for the DLC in TVHM? I was going to start playing through some of them once I hit 50. GFBeach fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Mar 3, 2013 |

AirRaid posted:Something Like This is what I used to use. Res, team heal, then damage damage damage. Combine that with a classmod that boosts Reaper, and a good rifle or shotgun (Anything high powered that's likely to kill in one or two hits) and you can absolutley slay mobs. Longer phaselock gives a better opportunity to hold up badasses and shred them with Wreck. Immolate is useful because with res you'll become the primary healer, but if you go down, poo poo can go sideways pretty quick. Having an extra 50% damage to deal can tip the scale. It is fire damage though so is less effective in certain situations. Thanks man. I'll give this a try.

Drop rates are based on the host, so yes you'll get CE drop rates if the host is running it. I dunno for sure if multiplayer boosts those rates further, but it seems like it. Playing co-op with a buddy, I ended up with three orange grenade mods dropping in less than half an hour.

CE shouldn't flag your account for VAC cheating, right? I doubt it, but I probably should ask nevertheless. (It's not like my local host is VAC secured anyway  )
