No problem, man. I can totally be your proxy weapon delivery guy.

Also, I'll be on later this afternoon, would anyone be able to help me kill Leviathan? Trying to do it solo in TVHM as a 37 Commando is ridiculously hard.

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!

What's your psn? I can give you the skullmasher since it was very disappointing for me. I have the Cobra if you want it too.

After doing a run through of Borderlands 1, I've been back playing Borderlands 2 split screen with a friend. Now this friend doesn't have a gold account so I just use a silver account for her and we have to play offline.

The loot is loving horrible. We are facing up against enemies 2 or more lvls above us all the time and nothing is dropping. We are hitting a wall where our equipment isn't keeping up. I thought it might be because we were playing offline but I played with an online friend who was getting even worse drops. I helped him pass the Scarlett dlc for the first time and the treasure room was full of garbage of blues and a couple of garbage purples. WTF did they do to the game while I was away.

Playoffs are no big deal,

The Duke posted:

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.

Yeah, this is what I feared. The farming and begging options don't really strike me as that fun, especially since I have a LVL 50 dude, and there's nothing much else for me to do other than battle Terramorphous and maybe do the one or two side quests I missed in my first playthrough. Maybe I'll just start a new character, but even that doesn't seem that appealing considering the amount of time I put into getting Zero to 50.

Go here: http://orcz.com/Borderlands_2:_Golden_Key#Latest_Shift_Codes and enter all the SHIFT-codes for a lot of Golden Keys. Go open the loot chest in sanctuary whenever you need a pick me up. Also, whenever you come across a boss that isn't too hard to defeat and drops a decent amount of loot, turn in the quest and go back and farm it for a while for XP and upgraded gear.

Yea I've found that I have way more fun leveling each Vault Hunter to 50 than I have playing past 50 for farmed legendaries. I wonder how many people there are that have a level 50 of every character, it can't be all that common. I'm not there yet though, I have to play a Siren, Gunzerker, and then whatever the new one is.

Yeah honestly after hitting 50 I'm going through and finishing PT 2.5, having fun trying to get more legendaries, becoming more overpowered and trying solo all the bosses (because I am a hermit). And I will enjoy new content-based DLC (not paying for characters) and level cap increases. But it's such a time sink I literally cannot see myself playing over the whole game again and again after I've already done it 3 times with one character. I think the game is 'done' for me at that point.

Actually I don't know if I'm looking forward to the level cap increase. To me that just means all the awesome guns I spent a lot of time getting are going to be worthless soon.

Edit: I guess after enough time goes by and they do another season of DLC it would be fun to try more characters, I've literally never played anyone but zero.

Okay, I'm going to get on for a couple hours and farm BNK-3R because I can't get the unreality head to drop. More than 60 kills and still no head. It's honestly a little boring since I use the Bee and the Conference call and can sometimes down him in less than a minute, but most of the time there is a good purple or two.

Send me an invite and I'll join your game. Xbox user name is Lydi Rae. Up for killing things like Leviathan or Verminiverous or Terramorphous but not interested in freaking lovely seraph guardians.

I don't use a headset. You can try telling me what to do but all I can guarantee is that I won't grab for all the loot. I have to play this game almost on mute because I'm hiding from some germans in an attic.

This was me on the first game for sure. But this one is just different to me and I've spent way more time paying it than other other game I've gotten recently. I still have XCOM and Dishonored waiting to be played from Christmas but I keep coming back to BL2.

There's just something about getting a character to 50 and then trying out all kinds of different builds and guns to make your character play the absolute best way for you that I find endlessly fascinating. I have a huge stash of oranges now from generous dupers and legit drops and I don't think I'll be satisified until I have used all of them. I don't have all level 50 characters yet but I'm working on it, I only have the Siren and Commando left to go, and I will probably make it with both of them before I get totally bored of this game. Going to have to get that new vault hunter as well!

I have to admit though, the first 2 hours of this game has gotten excruciatingly boring to me now that I've played it almost 10 times. Once you get to Sanctuary though the game has yet to get completely old to me. Also the dialogue does start to lose its charm around the 3rd time you have to listen to Jack talk about Butt Stallion ;)

I have that head too. Or did I already dupe it for you? I don't remember. So much duping. And killing. And levels. My gunzerker ended up at 40 last night(thanks Mechwarrior!). Only 10 more til rocketopalypse.

I'm down to kill any of the big bosses, or the Seraph guardians. The only one I've seen is the big thresher you fight during the quest from Tannis.

Also, I'd love any heads or skins that anyone has available to dupe. The different looks are one of my favorite parts of the game.

What I need is someone to let me dupe 3 sets of them. one for that person, one for me so I can unlock all of the heads I carry around and haven't used, and another get them all on one character so I can dupe them easily in the future.

Wish I could have stuck around longer, but Mechwarrior (whose friendslist is full) got me to 41 and now I gotta go find more loot. You gave me the knight's helmet for Axton and a bunch of other hilarious guns I haven't even sorted through.

And I got my headset working, which is probably what woke my kid up, but oh well. Sucks being west coast, because east coast players need sleep. I'm also startled at how easy the wildlife exploitation annex was. Maybe Verminiverous tonight. Getting him to spawn is the hard part, but I like using the Tundra Express Farmhouse as a spawn point.

An event is being held this weekend. New Skins and a Free Weapon. Also looks like Increased Drop Rates for Shields.
http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/community/articles/1014/borderlands-2-luck-of-the-zafords-weekend

Copy/pasted from Source :

Celebrate the Luck of the Zafords in Borderlands 2 this weekend with special in-game events and gear!

Each year, around this time, the Zaford clan take a break from their war with the Hodunk bandit family to celebrate their good fortune and honor those that have passed on, such as that time Scooter buried their son alive in a shallow grave.

During this time, those who play Borderlands 2 while connected to the internet will see a temporary increase in the drop rates and rarity of shields! Plus, Absorb shields will have a better chance to absorb enemy bullets and Booster shields will have a higher chance of dropping a shield Booster when damaged.

In addition, the Zafords have prepared special gifts! To receive your celebratory Zaford gear, including special green skins for each character and a Chulainn SMG that will be the the same level as (and appear in the backpack of) the first character you load, enter the SHiFT codes below into Borderlands 2:

PC / Mac Zaford Gear SHiFT Code: KTCBJ-C9RTC-BSFTJ-33TT3-FBWHF
Xbox 360 Zaford Gear SHiFT Code: KJCJ3-RCWC6-5K9BF-WFBT3-3WFKK
PlayStation 3 Zaford Gear SHiFT Code: CTK3B-99K3J-XXKW3-ZTWTJ-HJH5J
Better act fast, though! The above codes and bonuses will only be active from Thursday, March 14 at 12:00PM CT through Sunday, March 17 at 11:55PM CT

Yeah, all my 30 legendaries are obsolete now. I have the unreality for you though. I mentioned that I had it but I think it got lost in the chatter and didn't wanna be all "HAY GUYS I GOTZ A THING" since I was already up wendigo's rear end to dupe poo poo while he was trying to go to sleep. The Wildlife biz is a lot more fun in playthrough 2, and apparently a good place to get vermi to spawn. I don't have a meeting first thing in the morning tomorrow so I'll be up later tonight. I'd like to see how my very fragile rocketsiren does in something like WEA or Fink's Slaughterhouse.

Welcome to the machine
I've been lurking this thread since day one, and am a huge fan of both Borderlands games, but haven't really posted much about them or played with goons. That needs to change. I'm working on my second character, a commando, and am at level 44 just before the W.E.P., and am slowing down in my enthusiasm to finish up. I want to be level 50 and do the raid bosses and all that good stuff. Is anyone willing to help me by coming into my game and knocking out the rest of the story missions? I'm saving the sidequests until I am level 50 so that they all scale up. I'd like someone, overleveled is fine, to just help me finish TVHM and get to level 50. Any cool orange duping or whatever would be sweet, I have almost 0 myself. My gamertag is Drangiz, and I do have a headset. Thanks.

I must be missing the joy in a melee build because a melee-centric character sounds like the most boring thing ever to me. Unless he does that 360 degree thing Zangief does and spins around like a top with his arms out knocking enemies over. Or if he spins around with guns in his hands, knocking things over AND shooting wildly outward. Then I take back everything I just said.
