What the... I was doing random quests in the Highlands and regular mobs and even trash piles started dropping legendaries. Chests had lots of eridium weapons. I left my PS3 on for now, but in an hour I picked up about 30 legendaries and eridiums from just random drops.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
Speaking of legendaries, I have read some people having issues with their drop rates, but I am wondering if there's anything I can do to influence it in anyway. I have played through both the story mode and TVHM mode, and I have only ever gotten two legendaries. It took me about an hour to farm Hellquist to drop the Bee Shield, and I have spent two hours farming BNK3R without getting anything, so I got bored and quit. I want to keep playing and enjoying this game, but it makes me feel kinda silly and like I am wasting my time when I have to farm a boss for hours just to get a dumb gun/shield/relic/whatever. Does having the expansions help at all?

Well that was loving awesome. Unfortunately I ran out of room in storage and couldn't carry or transfer anymore items, but I got so many drat things I don't think I could want anything else. Off the top of my head I found:

Hellfire
Volcano
Hammer Buster
Bitch
Baby Maker
Slagga
Maggie
Transformer shield
Grounded Bee
countless orange grenade mods
Kerblaster
Flakker
Legendary mods for all characters
Infinite
White Death
Veruc


Had to leave a ton of good poo poo on the ground as well :(

edit: Terramorphus was making GBS threads out 5 legendaries per kill

You can't do anything to change drop rates. The Vault Hunter's relic that came with preorders doesn't do poo poo either, even though it says 5% rare loot increase, you just get blues more often.

Basically spend hours farming or get a guy up to level 50 and start begging for people to barf their orange collection into your game.

I guess you could get the Pirate's Booty DLC and leave the last treasure room quest open so you can keep glitching into it until you get bored. There's like 12-15 chests in there and you're usually bound to find at least one thing worth keeping.

edit: playing with other people to increase drop rates doesn't really work as advertised either.

This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

2 things regarding e-Tech:

1) Did anyone think to get a blASSter or PRAZMA CANNON during the Lootacolypse? Those things are my white whales.

2) During a bug hunt in the caustic caverns last night, me and some other goons/not goons came across not one but TWO untyped damage e-Tech dartguns. Those are fairly uncommon, yes?

Also, Seneschal: I'm central timezone and I usually need to have things wrapped up around midnight here. We can try for weeknights when the stars are right, but are you free on the weekends?

Kinda disappointed I missed out, but at least I got a Conference Call when I finished PT1 with my Gunzerker!... level 30 Conference Call... :negative:

the ES Glitch seems to still be working though, but I think they made the Raid Bosses harder. I tried to farm Voracidous for Oranges to see if the drop bonanza was still going and he murdered the poo poo out of me a few times. I figured those guys would be making GBS threads Oranges if the fun was still going on.

Thanks, but I'm on the 360. Also, did you notice that the 3 energy spheres drop teeny little spheres across their arc? All the Bandit e-Tech stuff that's not a pistol deviates a bit from the usual.

They drop the bonus orbs, but you really need to shoot it in a high arc to get more than 3 to show up. I wouldn't really use it for enemies in short/medium range since the extra orbs will just hit the ground.

Most the e-tech bandit weapons are lackluster. Homering darts never hit what you want, casters are only nice if you're a mechro since the bullets naturally ricochet, and BlASSter accuracy /damage is pretty low too.

I'm trying to remember if I've ever found a Bandit weapon I liked. Never seen a level 50 gold of theirs. I think I had a really awesome rocket launcher once from them at an earlier level.

Mostly I love Vladof and Maliwan although I will never ever toss out my Confrence Call, because I have a bee shield.

haha, yeah, I spent most (ALL) of my time playing with my mechromancer. My only concern is watching delicious blue numbers above enemies' heads and how not to gently caress up my anarchy stacks. You'd think I'd at least like the bandit caster, but why use it when there's a perfectly good Tattler in my inventory? (4440x3 per 1 shot :getin:)

Maybe you're thinking of the Badaboom. It's a great rocket launcher since it uses only 1 ammo per shot and at least 6 ammo capacity.

On PS3? I'd love a Neogenator and Skullmasher... If someone will explain me how to dupe (in detail, I'm real afraid to gently caress up my save or something, all the online tutorials say "Quit to dashboard IMMEDIATELY after trading" or similar, which sounds scary). I have a bunch of oranges I can throw back!

To dupe without f'n over your character, drop all the items you want to dupe, away from any area that will save (I tend to do it in the center of Sanctuary). Hold the PS Button to bring up the Impose Menu and select "Quit Game". This will force the game to shutdown without it saving. When you re-launch the title and your character, all the weapons/loot that you previously dropped will still be there.

Should be noted that the above scenario is if you are joining someone else's game.

Has anyone grouped up with people after the hotfix yesterday? Last night, I was hosting a session (on 360) and my buddy was having some weird issues. Cinematics not playing, doors not appearing as open (though he could walk through them), enemies not appearing and items not dropping. He bounced out, jumped back in, and everything returned to normal for a couple map transitions. Then it started again.

He left the session and jumped back in, after dashboarding. When he attempted to re-join my game, he was stuck at a save station with no HUD and couldn't move.

Just wondering if anyone else here as seen something similar.

Under 'normal' play you get two chances at the final mission (and the treasure room). This includes EVERYTHING in the final including the bosses and such, which is nice if you want some more of the drops I guess? After those two times that's supposed to be IT, no more getting into the treasure room, except...

There's a way to glitch into it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mq70C6WLtw

You can do this as many times as you want, even after completing both tries at the final. It's a bit tricky the first couple tries and people have different methods for the 'elevator' part, and I still can't get it consistently but overall it's probably one of the fastest ways to farm stuff (if a bit boring).
