PC got a patch today http://support.gearboxsoftware.com/entries/22126761-pc-update-information

The Bee is nerfed and Flesh stick leveling fixed.

Get your power leveling in while you can, I imagine a similar patch is working its way through microsoft certification.
Also worth pointing out:

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
On the PS3, at least, you can refuse any game update and still play the game in offline mode. I imagine the 360's the same way. I'll just refuse this update and not play online until I've gotten all the weapons/killed all the bosses I need.

I'm actually kind of intrigued to see how shield priorities shift now that the Bee is getting nerfed as soon as the patch gets approved for consoles. Maybe shields will be used more as a defensive item than a damage booster.

I guess that is probably the case

On another note, I made my game open to pubs, and I've pulled in an orange almost every stop I've made to the treasure room. Maybe it's a good run, maybe I've prayed to the correct deity, or maybe that has something to do with it?

What, that player count has an effect on loot drops? That's what the loading screen tips say, anyway.

I seem to have a problem with one of my character's TVHM Pirate's Booty playthrough (Xbox 360 version).

On my Assassin, I started the DLC after beating the main game in TVHM. In Oasis, all enemies and quests were scaled to level 50.

On my Mechromancer, I did exactly the same thing. However, while all the enemies are around level 50, the quests are showing level 40 (with corresponding rewards).

Anyone know what happened here? I am 100% sure that I never entered Oasis in my Mechromancer's TVHM playthrough, and it triggered the opening cutscene when I went there after beating TVHM.

It's going to suck if the quests are scaled to 40, since some of those rewards are pretty good. It will especially suck if the chests in the treasure room are scaled down to 40.

My Siren's having the same issue. Quests are in the 40's with enemies at 50. Haven't played much of the DLC on TVHM so I can't report on how the rewards are handled.

It sounds like this patch takes the least fun part of the game, endgame grinding for gear, and makes it even less fun. Okay, I can live with that, because it will encourage me to move on to another game rather than slog through killing Doc Mercy another 200 times.

All I need is to let my level 14 assassin follow you around a bit for some quick exp if you don't mind, trying to get him to 31 for the 10 second deception achievement and after playing a zerker since launch, I do not like this guy.

I understand it from a certain perspective. There's an entire game to play and if people are just going to use the win combo then what's the point in even farming legendaries? Plus with future DLC it means people might actually have to put effort into beating them instead of holding the right trigger with a Bee shield equipped.

You can cheese that achievement by activating it and getting into the back seat of the bandit car and pressing A to switch seats over and over. Don't need a full tree at all, just level 5 to get the skill.

edit: that didn't work, it counts down the time normal and fades out. back to the grind for me.

That might depend on how much they actually nerf the amp damage. Even going from 50k per shot to 25k per shot will be enough to grind through bosses fairly easily. Fixing the pellet damage will only shift the balance of power to fast accurate SMGs. I'm also curious to see if they fix the babymaker/bee combo (which might be in the misc balance tweaks)

It does work, it's just a little temperamental. I know because I did it with a level 5 Zer0. The best way I found to do it was to press A to switch seats just as it switches back to first person, so it doesn't have time to change. It's a little annoying, but 10 minutes of that is better than hours grinding to level 30.

I just got to watching this video on an actual PC and there is an easier way to do this.

Once you make your left turn at the top of the first rock and you hit the invisible wall under. Continue facing the lower point, hold Up+Leftm and jump. At the peak of your jump, crouch and continue to hold up+left. Once you get the elevator glitch, just jump and proceed normally. It sounds more complicated, but it requires less "look at this point exactly, then do it again on another obscure and difficult to see point."



Edit: And a huge thanks to the goon who gave me the Law and Order. I had them at level 40 and it is a huge difference between 10 levels.

Yep, that was the method I originally used, but the one I made the video for has (so far, for me) been almost 100% reliable, only screwing up when the wall doesn't spawn.

The method you mention can lead to the frustrating jumping over and over while asking "why isn't this poo poo working?" if your timing on jump/crouch is off or if you're not exactly in the right place. Also if you hold the elevator too long, you can end up going over/through the invisible barrier which causes that wall to despawn for whatever reason, and you'll no longer be able to perform the glitch without a save/quit/reload, just like if the wall didn't spawn as normal.

The method I cobbled together from testing out other tutorials/comments on videos/whatever doesn't involve any tricky jumping and has some pretty standout landmarks. The only one that's somewhat obscure is the triangle rock grouping and I feel I gave a solid reference point in the three easy-to-see landmarks below it. Most of the landmarks are general suggestions as well, just easy points of reference to make sure you're facing the right way. You've got some leeway as to where exactly you aim; I was just trying to be super precise since it's a tutorial and all. :)

All you have to do is keep attempting to reload the ES until you see the explosion effect, then once the gun finishes reloading just switch to another gun. All the bonuses from the ES charge will apply to your other guns also until either you reload one of those guns or you switch back to the ES. You see the explosion immediately, so if you don't see it as soon as you start to reload switch away from the ES and back again really fast and try again.

e: There's also apparently a way you can make the ES charge effect trigger on any of your guns even after unequipping it but it requires a bunch of specifically timed stuff and I haven't played with it that much. I think it's called the "KSS glitch" if you want to look it up.

That Rolling Thunder grenade mod is nice. A friend got one at a lower level and it was a huge help in the Creature Slaughter Dome on normal.

Anyhow, I have a Baby Maker, Maggie, Impaler shield, Hide of Terra shield, Bonus Package grenade mod, Fire Bee grenade mod, and/or a Siren Terra mod I'd be willing to offer in exchange for the aforementioned Rolling Thunder (because gently caress stalkers). Give it a thought and if I happen to catch you online we can work out specifics. I have other items but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.
