The 5th. It’s nice that it goes so long since not everyone has the time to sit and farm Haunt for the weapon skin in the space of a week but you should really be able to disable it once you’re over it. I got the character skins and that’s all I care about.

I think the save editor will take a while since the game is a lot more complicated, and Rick is more distracted this time, bless him.
You could use a trainer.
There's one with an XP multiplier, I've just finished the story and plan on using it for exactly the same reason.
I guess cheat engine would work too, but it's to much effort for me.

Here's the full featured BL3 trainer - including XP multipliers, and an instant-50 button.

It does a lot more, but if you just want to quickly level other characters it does perfectly.

Yeah that's the one I used, didn't know it did insta-50, cool.
BTW, it's ideal if you use a keyboard with no num-pad.

Gonna use the 'high legendary drop' bit (again) for getting a ghast call since I'm late to the table. gently caress farming in a fomo panic

There are game saves around with all lv50 characters if you don't want to sit through the intro another 3 times.
You have to sift through al the mule ones with modded weapons, and every skill activated, but there are clean ones to be had.

I’ve had the same thing happen in terms of getting the same legendaries as pubbies. I also find that if I get a few legendary drops in quick succession, they tend to be the same item. Not really a problem, just some quirk in the RNG seed I guess.

There seems to be a thing where any legendary that drops from a ghost will duplicate. My friend and I always get the exact same legendaries in slaughter shaft when we pop a ghost and they drop.

dangerdoom volvo posted:

Assuming it still works, if you're on PS4 (and I assume xbox) and have someone who will run you through you can have them load in mayhem 3 from offline and then go online. Bonus xp values should carry over. Friend and I did it levelling in Lectra city and went 1-50 in about an hour or two. Make sure it's set to coopetition mode so the enemies don't scale. You'll still have to run the story to unlock additional weapon slots, class mod, etc but you'll be doing it at level 50 rather than whatever level you would be so it's really quick.

If this weekend’s personal experience is anything to go by, green and red ghosts drop 3 hecktoplasm each, golds drop 5. (As of the previous hot fix, greens dropped 2 each, not 3, so a minor buff to drop rates.)

By the time the roomie and I finished the second battle on Athenas, we had our 25 goo. This was over five runs so it shouldn’t take too long to get what you need.

Miao, miao!
This event has made me realize how much I hate FOMO. With the recurring Hex (even though they nerfed it) I always knew that if I kept playing I would get it eventually. Knowing that the Recurring Ghast Call is super OP and that I'll have to hurry and grind if I want to get it before the event is over makes me feel bad. It's made the game more unpleasant and stressful to play, especially seeing that about 15 of the 25 Captain Haunt kills I've done have dropped NOTHING.

I guess I shouldn't care about it, but I'm kind of susceptible to tricks like FOMO and the lack of stuff like that has been part of why I like Borderlands - I can/could play it at my own pace.

I started getting more than 1 per ghost at level 50 I think. It might be that? Either the patch happened right about the same time or they boost the rate at max level to help with farming.

Probably depends on difficulty setting and your spec. A class with a lot of tankiness + self sustain with gear that allows you to tear through most Mayhem 3 content can probably beat the baseline version of Takedown. Beyond that, who knows

There will be text at the beginning of the skill explanation that says whether it's a hunt skill. There are hunt skills in every tree and some of them are also kill skills.

I made it through the first 2 sets solo mayhem 1 at lvl47 before I filled my inventory and loot bank so I just let myself die. Pretty sure you could solo it with a good build (unlike my random rear end Zane).

To get ghost goo I just run Mouthpiece because it takes 10 mins. The Mouthpiece/ Haunt combo I run has been been averaging 7 legendaries per run without loot boost gear.

Do bosses respawn if you leave their area and go do something else for a bit or do you have to actually quit to menu/reload to force a respawn?

I think there is a timer if you return in the same play session but it's quickest to quit to the main menu and reload.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

They even acknowledged that the event ghosts were kind of a bad idea and, going forward, will try to implement the seasonal stuff better.

I beat the campaign last night so I only know the game having those ghosts and while the terror thing was annoying, the badass and loot ghosts sure did give me a good amount of loot to help me along. The grenade you get is so overpowered and broken that it helped me take down bosses really quickly.

The ghosts are annoying, but I don't feel that it's a negative, just a different challenge. I hope they don't shy away from trying new enemy types and features like this. The idea, theme overlay, specific loot, and the slight challenge to fighting them, have been mostly positive for me.
