You ever do the chicken dance at a wake? That really bothers people.
I was hoping that the Warrior would have just been the miniboss and Jack freaks out when you beat it, retreating up to the H to make his last stand. You go up there and kick his rear end in the midst of the whole Hyperion bot manufacturing plant or some such.

When I first started playing the game I was absolutely certain that Angel and Jack were both up on the space station and that's where the last part of the game would take place. I was a little disappointed that didn't happen but I still like what they did and the way they did it. It didn't really detract from how good the game is.

The Angel fight should absolutely have been on the space station, now that you put it that way I like that idea far far better than "random bunker room."

No, people are just assuming I think because the Hyperion moonbase is always in the sky and it never gets addressed or anything. Seems like a real missed opportunity to never go up there and see what sort of stuff Jack had in what was presumably his house. Also the diamond horse and his butler would make good bosses.

I've seen one strategy that involves a purple tediore relic, a grenade focused class mod, and an e-tech tediore smg. Guy was doing 20mil in damage per throw.

It was also very possible it was hacked too.

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?
I think I may have figured out to (kind of) dupe golden keys on accident. I've been using my level 50 character to get experience for my underleveled characters. I went to Sanctuary to get my second character weapons out of the gold chest. My first character had 13 keys but the game only let the second character have 1. I had him use his key on the chest then leave the game and then when he joined the game again he had 1 key again. My first character still had 13. Either I somehow duped the drat key or my game's glitching.

Bee shield, Evil Smasher glitch, Norfleet, slag grenades and a Terra class mod (For the fire damage boost).

Basically I did the ES glitch enough that I didn't need to reload the Norfleet, slagged him and rained death with the rocket launcher afterwards.

Then his minions killed me because gently caress their dumb shields.

I had the same problem but I did Torgue first then Scarlett. Literally nothing in Scarlett was a challenge for me. I wish they had those two scale better on the first play through.

It's not even that tough on the regular campaign so far outside of a couple of enemies, or when they spontaneously appear all around you and start shooting you at the same time. Sniper rifle with electric bullets pretty much wipes out everything at long range, and pistol with zoom burst + acid bullets does the same at close range.

I could use a level 50 Deliverance since the one I got from that level 50 unique was a level 48 just to spite me :argh:. I got the ones you're looking for aside from melee rubi and Norfleet. Love Thumper is really easy to get so dunno why you want to dupe one but whatever.

I know this has been answered before, but I can't remember--my friend and I are playing TVHM and want to save the good quests for level 50 / play through 2.5.

Can we talk to quest givers to see what the rewards are, and as long as we don't accept the quest, they will be level 50 quests in 2.5?

Or do we need to not talk to any side quest givers at all, because talking to them locks the quest level?

I believe that you should not talk to the quest giver until you are 50 and have beat play through 2. That way the quests scale to 2.5 and you get level 50 quest rewards. Good feature that gearbox put in is that you can get a general idea what the reward is by going to the quest tab in the menu and looking at all the undiscovered quests from each area.

just don't accept them and they will scale. If you accept, it locks to your level.

General

Modified profile behavior to better protect Badass Rank and related data.
Added functionality to detect and restore Badass Rank in the event it was lost.

Repeat this process for each character in your character list.

Added a confirmation dialog when opening the Golden Chest in Sanctuary.
Fixed a bug causing players to sometimes get stuck zoomed in when in "Fight For Your Life" mode.
Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause skill points to be reset when loading a character.
Fixed a bug that could cause weapons to not stop firing when the "Gunzerking Autoswitch" option was enabled.
Fixed the Mechromancer's Anarchy skill sometimes losing stacks incorrectly for multiplayer clients.
Fixed some cases where enemies were getting stuck and unable to move.
“Inverted reverse steering" option now works correctly for clients in a multiplayer game.
Fixed an issue that could cause the trade icon to get stuck on the screen.
Fixed a bug where a splitscreen player would sometimes not receive the appropriate default weapon when creating a new character.
Fixed a bug that could cause the message "processing vehicle change request" to get stuck on the screen.

Missions

Fixed a bug that could cause enemies and missions to be locked to an incorrect level.
Fixed issues with the following missions that could cause players to get stuck or not be able to complete them:
Plan B
Wildlife Preservation
Mighty Morphin
Fink's Slaughterhouse
Animal Rescue: Food
The Man Who Would Be Jack
Get To Know Jack
Where Angels Fear to Tread
Trailer Trashing
Clan War: First Place
Stalker of Stalkers
The Once and Future Slab
Home Movies
Shielded Favors
You Are Cordially Invited: Tea Party
(Captain Scarlett) Freedom of Speech
Fixed a bug where the player's active mission would sometimes fall back to main-game missions when completing other missions in DLC areas.
Fixed a bug that could cause mission waypoints to not display in DLC areas.
Reduced level of Captain Scarlett and Mr. Torgue DLC raid bosses in Normal Mode.
Captain Scarlett and Mr. Torgue DLC raid bosses no longer drop Seraph crystals in Normal Mode.
Fixed a bug where Master Gee (Captain Scarlett DLC) would sometimes not drop any items when killed.
Increased the health of Terramorphous, Willhelm, and Blue.
Addressed an infinite leveling exploit with Fleshstick.

Equipment

Fixed a bug that could cause players to lose mission rewards that they had not claimed when switching between Normal mode and True Vault Hunter mode.
Fixed a bug causing the item-of-the-day not displaying "sold out" sometimes when opening a vending machine where the item had already been purchased.
Fixed a bug that could cause non-droppable inventory to be lost when trying to equip it from the world.
Fixed the player's backpack sort setting not persisting.
Fixed a bug that could cause players' backpacks to display empty under rare circumstances when trading.
Fixed a bug that could cause the critical hit bonus to inconsistently be included on the item card of weapons that modify this stat like Miss Moxxi's Bad Touch.
Fixed bug causing Tediore reloads to get Amplify shield damage bonuses for each round remaining in the clip.
Fixed an exploit giving the player unlimited grenades by picking up a specific grenade mod.
Fixed customization items getting sorted as "ammo" in the inventory.
Amplify damage from Amplify Shields is now divided among all projectiles fired from a single shot.
Balance adjustments to "The Bee":
Increased Recharge Delay
Significantly increased Recharge Rate
Reduced Amplify damage
Additional miscellaneous balance tweaks.

Challenges

Added "(undiscovered)" entries to the challenge log for challenges that the player has not yet found.
Fixed challenges showing inaccurate completion amounts for area-specific challenges.
Players can now reset all challenge progress for a character once they've completed 85% of all non-DLC, non-area-specific challenge levels. This will keep the player's current challenge bonuses and rank, but reset all challenge progress to 0 and allow challenges to be re-completed for additional ranks and bonuses. This option will appear as a tooltip at the bottom of the “challenges” screen within the status menu if the player has met the criteria.

Sucks they're going to nerf the bee, but it took a lot of the challenge out of some encounters. Not that there aren't still a bunch of ways to make them trivial.

I solo'd Hyperius with a 'zerker using a Bee, 2 babymakers and the Tediore relic that increases damage or something by 70%. Hit zerk mode, hold both triggers and keep mashing the reload button so that the guns get thrown at Hyperious with nearly full clips. He killed me when he was still around 30% health but I had the "zerk in Fight for your life mode" skill so I just kept shooting and reloading til he died and I came back to life.

He didn't drop any crystals though, the cheap bastard!

I haven't been very impressed with the Seraph items. Torgue is better but only because there are oranges in the vending machines, but for 600+ it's obvious Gearbox expects people to grind challenges forever. The only way I finished the 3rd race was with an afterburner relic.

At this point, I just want to blow up a moon base.
