Oh no, now comes the dilemma: Play Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode at level 50 and actually get to use all my oranges and play the main story at a predictable, balanced difficulty, OR play it with the cap raise, getting more skill points but jumping back on the gear-treadmill and making all my oranges obsolete??? Oh, and I guess, a .000000005% chance of getting a Pearlescent weapon if I get the cap raise. Agggh, it's a painful choice.

Here's hoping I can get a Pearlescent to drop sometime before the inevitable heat death of the universe.

Though I think I'll just level my commando, or do the DLC before the cap raise. I don't mind things becoming obsolete, I know just about everyone on here will dupe the crazy rear end poo poo that they get.

You can RESET Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode to play that poo poo again and again! Meaning I can do a run with my myriad of Oranges, then buy the DLC and get to the levelin'

Marogareh posted:The only real standout is the meteor shower which is basically a super bonus package. The other stuff can be good depending on the character build but all in all they're not that great. The Meteor Shower is a terrifying murder machine. I am actually scared to use it in areas that aren't big and open because it will literally kill me if I get hit by a stray secondary or tertiary explosion.

So I did the Pirate Booty DLC in less than two hours last night with my power-leveled Siren. The enemies were all around level 30 and I'm 50. I was gibbing things like crazy, which was sort of unsportsmanlike but still fun, and I was struck by a weird thought. That DLC has a LOT of walking. Maybe it was the Rustyards quests but I just can't get into it anymore. Guess I can skip it on the second playthrough. I've already got the head I wanted.

I like the way slag works, and I'm really glad they're adjusting it for ultimate mode. Just another reason I like playing Axton the most. Everything turns purple.

Greenplastic posted:- Enemy health generally increased 4x. My Google-Fu is weak, how much did enemy health scale up in TVHM? Because this is reading like it's going to necessitate 4 players rolling like an elemental effect slinging strike force to take down YAAAY REBALANCING

Can't imagine how nuts that would be with a friend literally sitting shotgun.

I kind of hope those leaks of UVHM are an April Fools joke on Gearbox's part. It seems almost designed to make every problem people have complained about even worse. Players hate how the enemies scale in TVHM? Make them even more ridiculous! Players want more viable builds? Force them to rely on slag! You know, given how melee damage already scales slowly per level compared to enemy health, I have to wonder if my Bloodshed Zer0 will be able to kill anything in UVHM.

I agree though, some bosses are already pretty unfun on TVHM so making them even harder is not too appealing.

So I'm about level 18 or so on my first playthrough, and I have yet to find an AR with anything other than total poo poo stats. Are ARs just crap in this game, or do they get better later? I mean, poo poo, a blue AR with 87 accuracy, 40 damage, and 19 clip size is the best I can do?

I want to point out that gearbox listens to the fans that post on the official forums and last time I checked, people who post there enjoy how strong the enemies are and wanted gearbox to make them harder. And if your bloodshed zero can't kill anything then you've built him way way wrong.

Kifisonfire posted:Out of curiosity, how did you expect UVHM would be different? The jump from normal to TVHM is massive, and the game is just about numbers in the end anyway. There's not much else they can do other than make them bigger. Well, when they said they were re-balancing the whole game, I held out hope that party of that would be looking at how health scales relative to player melee damage, and make it so the latter kept pace with the former going forward. If these leaked notes are right then that was obviously not the case. Fibby Boy posted:And if your bloodshed zero can't kill anything then you've built him way way wrong. I did not say this.

"I have to wonder if my bloodshed zero will be able to kill anything." Implies that you are having trouble killing things now. Sorry for the mis-communication but I really don't see how bloodshed zero will be any less crazy in UVHM.

I also used the blockhead shotgun at times, though I'm pretty sure the Warrior is fire resistant so it probably did less damage than the talking shotgun. I think the next one should be gunnerangs only. Better dodge that poo poo, yo.

Think how hard it would be to kill any boss using only white and green equipment. It would probably take an hour. Now that I've read that Ultimate Vault Hunter will have a story reset option, I need to start working on playthrough 2 with my Siren and just work on the challenges that get new skins and badass points. This game is making the collector in me rear its' ugly head and I'm totally obsessed. I think I have a little glitch with my Assassin. I'm missing the special pre-order head, and I know I had it at one point. My Siren still has hers. Any ideas on how to get it back?
