I have the worst luck possible with any game that contains super rare/legendary type loot. So, anyone got a Bee and a purple or better zerker mod they can dupe me?

Xbox GT is kalamaf

I managed to snag a shock CC from someone the other day that I can share.

edit: thanks bunny, that's some crazy gear! (still no zerker mod though, heh, anyone got one?

If you use Thoughtlock, do you get XP for the enemies your new buddy kills?

I know Goliaths still chew up the XP and add it to their own, but I'm not sure about other enemies.

Riding on this topic, can you only repeat this quest once? I did it twice and now it doesn't show up anywhere.

You can only get into te treasure room by legitimate means twice. The 2nd quest will show up as "treasure of the sands"

After some extensive testing with the Skullmasher I can safely say that it sucks compared to the first game. The accuracy is really iffy even with a ton of accuracy boosting skills. For some stupid reason they made the shots spread the farther away you are and even aiming dead center on a crit spot won't activate unless you're practically at shotgun range. I was so disappointed since it was my favorite gun in the first game and you can actually snipe with it. I highly suggest going for the Lyuda since it's by far the best sniper rifle I've found and it doesn't require slogging through an entire loving area for it.

I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
The sheer amount of bullshit deaths in this game is starting to wear on my nerves. In TVHM, I just completed the defend the beacon mission. It tells me to quickly run to the travel station and warp to Sanctuary. The game continues spawning bots so I run over there, select Sanctuary as I'm getting blown to bits and...

"Fast travel canceled, Player 1 is saving." And I immediately die. gently caress that poo poo :mad:

The fact that fast travel points are also save points was a hilariously poor design decision and has hosed me over countless times also.

Yeah that's my only real gripe about this game. It make multi player travelling a bitch too as people just tend to follow the leader so when one save is done another player triggers it off.

It's also real loving dumb that they took out respeccing from fast travel points but they at least addressed it somewhat in the dlc.

You're way ahead of me on that count. I put in about five hours without a single legendary and only one thing worth picking up the entire time. I'd rather just farm the items I want straight up, finding the spot to do the jump is incredibly tedious compared to bursting down The Warrior/whatever in one clip.

I did it the other way. After killing him I didn't enter the room. I killed myself and then brought an alt with me and let them enter it. You can do that easier and as much as you want

Quick question about Borderlands 1, since that thread has been archived:

If I want to skip side-quests until I'm done PT2 and DLC2 in order to get the best possible loot from them, do I need to avoid initiating the quest entirely, or can I talk to the quest-giver and just leave it in my mission log?

I tried googling and checking some message boards (while avoiding BL2 info) and I can't quite find a definitive answer. I just want Claptrap to stop hounding me about bounty board updates. =/

Pretty sure the level is pegged when you get the quest, so don't talk to quest-givers or quest boards at all.

Cocoa Crispies is correct. When you talk to a quest-giver, you'll see that the quests they're offering have a level listed in the bottom left of the screen. If you accept the quest, the quest stays at that level, even if you don't. You need to avoid accepting the sidequests until after you have beaten the main story on PT2.

I'M HUGE!
Okay, I've killed The Warrior probably 40+ times on TVHM and haven't seen a single Legendary drop. The run only takes a couple of minutes (The Bee plus a high ROF pistol or AR makes the fight trivial), but I'm ready to stop.

Does anyone have a decent level 50 Conference Call they can dupe for me? I would really appreciate it. I'm on Xbox.

My gamertag is WhiteH0wler (with a zero), and I should be around most of today.

A few questions about end of DLC loot

Should I expect some decent loot from killing the leviathan or the treasure room? From what I could tell the leviathan didn't drop anything and the treasure room chests mainly contained crappy blue items with 1 purple that wasn't great. Is that bad luck or normal?

Does this mean that if I have joined a bunch of public servers and played whatever side missions they happened to be playing on PT2 that I have hosed myself over and need to start over with a new character if I want to play those at level 50 later?

bad luck... i've used that glitch to re-enter the treasure room a few times and have acquired like 5 or 6 orange items and a shitload of purple.

Orange stuff is of course mega rare still, but i constantly came across decent purple items while farming it.

I feel like I'm starting to burn out on this game a bit. :(

I'm level 50, almost done with TVHM, almost done with all the DLC content. Friends and I have beaten Terramorphous (although not Master Gee), and duped legendaries have basically trivialized any content. I'm not sure what else there is really to do other than keep looking for rare/silly stuff and I have better things to be doing. I suppose I could start a new run but its sorta lost its appeal.

All in all, amazing game, totally worth it, and will be worth revisiting I think when all the DLC is out.

Good loving luck. I've been at it for about 300 kills now and nothing but at least I've gotten to the point where I can just use the geyser to launch my rear end right next to where Doc Mercy spawns and not have to deal with all the skags, rakks and bandits on the way. I'll add you so I can toss all the legendaries I've gotten from the treasure room to save you some grief.
