Wow I've had maxed Blood Soaked Shields for as long as I can remember but never thought about using a Nova shield with it. Time to equip Hide of Terra tonight and see how that works out.
I usually got with the Black Hole. It's a shame there isn't a shock version of the Heartbreaker or that would pretty much be my perfect set up.

I just cleared out Arid Boneyard, Sawtooth Cavern, The Highlands, and Caustic Caverns without seeing any difference in drop rating. Dunno, maybe I just have bad luck.

Could be. Me, I'm seeing shotguns pretty much every other kill. Most of them are vendor trash, but I've gotten a couple of nice ones, including a purple.

The *best* I saw was a purple tediore shotgun with like 3000x6 damage or so that dropped off ol slappy. If anything I'm seeing more health drops and pistols.

Are there any level 50s out there with the Torgue DLC who'd be willing to help me grind a bit at the Molotov Cocktail in Beatdown tonight? That final bar brawl is sitting there on the bounty board, taunting me.

I got a friend who vomited just about every single legendary and rare head into my account, twice. If anyone needs heads, my XBL tag is the same as my SA handle. I usually play mostly on the weekends, and often do Mass Effect 3 multiplayer but I'm willing to come drop some awesome on people. If anyone has a level 50 Neogenator, The Sham, Deliverance, or Seraph sheilds/grenade mods I would be very grateful, but I am glad to just spread heads around.

Looks like they are upping some spawns and thus upping the chance for some legendary weapons.

Gearbox's Website Place posted:

The final day of festivities is upon us, as Pandora grows more dangerous (but also more rewarding) for those adventuring online alongside two or more players in True Vault Hunter Mode* -- should the varkids infesting Tundra Express, Caustic Caverns or Natural Selection Annex survive long enough to enter the pod state multiple times, they stand a far greater chance of morphing into the fearsome Vermivorous the Invincible. However, those that emerge victorious in their struggles against Vermivorous the Invincible also face greater rewards as the legendary Norfleet weapon is far more likely to appear upon his defeat.

Next week there's going to be a DLC pack of heads and skins. No word on price yet but I hope it's only a couple bucks (it'll probably be $5 like the special edition and creature slaughter dome though.)

I really thought the Hawk Eye was going to be something special. Critical hits don't do much better than my regular Jakobs sniper, and the base damage is half of what that does. I'll keep toying with it throughout this campaign to see if there's some secret that makes it better.

That heads/skins pack looks amazing, however. Give me that Chaos Reigns skin.

Yeah, I think I'll pass on that until I can see that it's not bugged like the compat patch is.

Well, that and the fact that I'm not a hardcore head/skin collector anyway and maybe two of the entire set look appealing to me anyway. Two skins just isn't worth the cost.

It's been a while since I played the game....what the hell happened to the Bee shield? Going by the stats on the Level 50 one, it doesn't look like anything changed with Amp Damage or Drain. I used to be able to solo Terramorphus pretty easily, but now I'm lucky to get him down to half health.

I've also noticed that some Raid Bosses are leveled to campaign now. So if Pete the Invincible is fought on Normal Mode, he's only Level 32. Fighting Terramorphus on Normal still had him at Level 52.

This wasn't always the case, was it? I could have sworn that all the Raid Bosses were Level 50+, regardless of Normal Mode or TVHM.
