I see no mention of fixing split screen framerate issues. They had improved it in patch 1 then made it worse in patch 2.

So the patch is out. Got scared for a second when it started me off as a level 1 Axton, but my saves are still there. Interestingly the collector's edition skins and creature slaughterdome are now purchasable.

I'm running out of inventory space for my main character. What is the easiest way to create a mule to hold inventory?

Could I start a new character and play until a save point, load up my main character and have the secondary character join via split screen and boost them up to 50 with more inventory space?

Just get the bank upgrades on the mule character so you won't waste your time getting them to 50.

You could use the bank glitch, assuming it wasn't fixed in this latest patch.

I guess they're saving this General Knoxx-quality DLC that they were talking about before the game released for last, or post-season-pass continued moneygrabbing.

The first two DLC packs have advanced neither the story nor my gear and this one sounds poised to do the same.

I bought a season pass for this game, the first time I have ever done that, and I guess I'm still not totally clear on how it works. Isn't it supposed to make add-on content in the PS store free? Why isn't the creature slaughter dome free?

The only thing the season pass covers is the DLC main game expansions- you're on your own for the other stuff. Creature Slaughter Dome isn't really worth it, anyway. New actual DLC soon, though!

Oh, so season pass doesn't inherently mean all DLC is free? Bleh. $30 is a hell of an investment on top of a $60 game.

I've been a little disappointed in the DLC thus far as well. They're well written and amusing, sure, but they barely added anything in terms of new weapons, new enemies, or new experiences in general. Like, they're not terrible or anything, but I wish they wouldn't have cranked the drat things out so fast and maybe spent a bit more time on each one, ya know?

It's not like it's that hard to level up. poo poo, the two DLC packs are worth 5 or 6 levels each. Besides, one can only listen to 'There he is. Flesh-stick.' so many times before your ears want to claw their way out of your head.

What's the fastest route to 50 now? I'd been farming Warrior and Terra which was good for a level each kill up to a point, but I'm guessing they don't go down in 30 seconds with the current Bee.

I'm more than happy to dupe for anyone that's interested in power leveling me for a while. Or even if not. hahaha. I'm still looking for a Siren/Gunzerker legendary mod.

Are there legendary versions of the items from the DLC? I got through both without getting a single orange and a couple of the items seemed decent enough with some higher stats. And speaking of DLC, is it just me or in Torgue does it seem like the Torgue machines frequently have Flakkers as the item of the day? I keep checking to see if there's anything interesting, but it's always the Flakker.

Which is why I turned down the game volume and listened just to chat. It was a life-saver when I ran a couple of people from 1 to 50 in one sitting (hour and ten minutes straight).

To the goon looking for the Legendary Siren mod (delpheye), I have one on the 360. Easiest powerleveling spot might be Terra (plus the Eridium helps if you need to finish up any Black Market shopping), and the items aren't bad if you need them. Plus the last time someone was farming Terra for my Mechro, we ran across a Night Pitchfork, a Hide of Terra, and the Blood of Terra relic in the span of ten minutes. I intend on being on tonight; if you're interested send me a message and we'll see how well it works.

Willing to hear other ideas for leveling places for a Siren to power-level folks (which makes Warrior/infinite Rakks difficult).

I heard that the tier 3 Bar Fights in Torgue's DLC was a decent leveling place.

Delete the patch and level up offline. I'm not downloading the patch until I get all my characters to level 50, or at the very least a level 50 siren. I made a gunzerker last night to mule some items and then farmed some eridium.

Did the patch fix the leveling exploit with the warrior as well?

It's not that bad, really. I downloaded the patch today and there doesn't seem to be an amplify shield deficit, so you can still blast away with the amp bonus. It does spread the amp damage across multiple pellets, so the conference call/maggie/etc all take a hit. It also takes away the amp bonus for Tediore reloads, the bullets in the magazine remaining don't have the amp bonus like they used to, so now Hyperius will be a complete pain in the rear end unless you bust out the Evil Smasher glitch (which I have yet to successfully pull off, I suck at it apparently).
