TyroneGoldstein posted:the default settings, as many people have pointed out, are just ludicrously stingy with the decent drops. What would you consider decent? Because I get the feeling a lot of people only consider purples, oranges and red texts decent, while I would call those great. Greenplastic fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Feb 24, 2013 |

Maybe I'm just lucky... I'm on level 26 on my first playthrough, haven't done any farming except opening one red chest maybe 10 times once (yielding a few blues), and I already found four orange weapons and some awesome uniques. On top of the awesome sidequest-guns like Moxxi's heartbreaker - I almost feel spoiled. Edit: Maybe the trick is avoiding reading wikis about all the awesome guns you don't have. I love that jackpot-feeling of getting red text and checking online what the hell it does. Greenplastic fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Feb 25, 2013 |

Oh, and I also found the blue Law around level 17-18 as a random drop, which gives +100% melee damage, which suits my melee-build Zer0 VERY well. I'm just now realizing how lucky I've been.

So guys, I'm wondering if playthrough 2.5 leveled to 50 from the start is easier than playthrough 2 (TVHM)? Basically trying to figure out if I'm gonna keep playing, because TVHM is too hard to be fun.

Reiley posted:* Lots o' tips * Thanks, this is great. My problem is mainly getting rushed and downed way too quickly by mobs, even when I try to keep my distance. I just can't down the bastards fast enough. Any tips for tactics or builds with Zer0? I ran full on melee on first playthrough, eventually wielding Law & Order and chaining up to 10 kills per Decepti0n with maxed out Bloodshed tree, but that poo poo ain't working right now. Still got my 425 damage Law in a slot for the 100% melee bonus for when they get close though - it's the only gun that's actually stays useful in some way.

Ulvirich posted:Non-Torgue Shotgun and B0re is pretty amazing for a crowd clearer alpha strike. Just need to make sure you line up your shot. If you can't take care of the non-badass/boss problem within one or two trigger pulls then you need to update your gear. Don't fall for the sniper rifle trap in the sniping tree, (I know this is obvious but) don't go full-melee Zer0 either. Full melee is horrible against armored targets, bosses and useless against fliers. I'd go major in cunning with 26 points, and the rest in sniping. Hahaaa, I tried your build and BAM, I'm ripping through level 45 enemies with a level 42 vladof pistol and Jakobs sniper and those awesome kunai that I never even considered before! Thanks, you just turned the game around for me. Edit: Oh, and Reiley, thanks for the tips, especially the part about jumping to keep momentum from sprinting. I always sprint, but I never thought of that! I'm gonna try respeccing back to melee when I get some better melee gear, maybe when I hit 50, definitely when I get lvl 50 Law & Order, simply because it's loving awesome when it works. Right now I'm gonna stick with this maxed cunning + sniper build for a while, because it felt good to switch it up a bit, and it still supports run & gunning to a certain degree (I like sniping, but I hate medium to short range cover-combat...)

Ulvirich posted:That man had a family you MURDERER. Looking forward to level 50 Morningstar  But yeah, thanks, really, I would have missed out on a lot of fun if I ragequit the game, and I was pretty close! I'm actually on the PS3, this thread is just a lot more active, sorry bout that, but I desperately needed some tips! Anyway, I think it's time to use a golden key, I need some new gear. But I only have a few, and the one time I used one I got some useless class mods. So I'm wondering, if I open the chest to check the contents, then quit without saving (the equivalent to alt+F4 ), will the key be back? I just need to ask in case it autosaves or something, those keys are preeeciousss! I'm fantasizing about reopening the chest until I get a good sniper then again until I get a vladof pistol - and I should be set! Edit: By the way, b0re rocks. I never noticed how often enemies line up in hallways before now, and drat they go down. Second edit: What is this shieldless shield ye mention? Third edit: I'm saving sidequests for 2.5, so any tips on where to farm XP so I hit the cap before endgame? I just finished the Wildlife Exploitation Reserve.

Glad I could help. Don't be afraid to use Gibbed's saved editor to scale up sub-50 quest rewards. You won't be able to get them at level cap unless you beeline the main quest to cap. Give the Pirate DLC a go if you've the scratch for it!

I did every sidequest I could find the first time through, and I'm at 46 on TVHM now with no sidequests done. Will I have a hard time getting through the next parts without doing sidequests you think? Wilhelm doesn't give enough XP to be worth farming anymore, and I guess there aren't a lot of farmable bosses before BNK3R unless I do some sidequests? :/ Ah well, If I get stuck I'll just use the Evil Smasher glitch.

drat, I've been working my way through some sidequests in the Fridge in TVHM, which is scaled to level 47 I think, with my best weapons being level 42, and drat, It's really teaching me how to play the game! I was hosed 10 meters into the cave at first, now I'm almost through to Rakkman with only minor difficulties. Takes a lot of rocket launcher Second Winds, but being persistent has taught me a bunch of good tactics. gently caress Rats. If I didn't Save & Quit every time I died I would have been broke by now though. Edit: Wohoo! Rakkman Forever gave me a lvl 46 version of the lvl 38 E-tech Plasma Caster SMG I've been using to take down shields! Oh yesss. Is posting about awesome loot okay here?

From the sound of things, he actually resists B0re if it runs his intro video. It was the quest, with the intro and all, but it must have worked, cause drat. Edit: I guess this means it's farming-time But wait... Do respawning bosses and their loot scale to lvl 50 after endgame? BNK3R is 48 now, will he be 50 after endgame?

TyroneGoldstein posted:I'm fascinated to know the mechanics behind this now. I bet its some sort of funny game engine quirk where they have to put some sort of special entity inside things classified as robots or machines in order for the game to handle it properly and you're tickling that entity. I think a few guns, including one version of the Fibber, has bullets that passes through enemies and keep doing damage, but they don't get the 100% damage boost per enemy penetrated.

Nice! 24 keys!!! Please chest, give me Vladof pistol. drat, this Pandemic grenade is awesome! It kills stuff I didn't know was there! This game has gotten so much better now.

Finally, The Bee! No elemental resistance, sadly, but still, that's three oranges yesterday, one so far today And I only had to farm for two of them! Can't wait to try this one out, it seems like the one essential legendary. So, is the Conference Call really as awesome as people say, or is it only useful for certain builds? It sounds difficult to farm, but I need to get some legendary weapons soon, and need to figure out where to start. I want the Infinity, but it sounds like it's almost impossible to farm...
