I specifically remember my Assassin having the special edition head, and now my Siren does but Zero's lost it. I need to check my Commando and Gunzerker to see if they do because honestly I don't know. I just hope the glitch doesn't take my other heads.

I'm drunk and I know GBX's address(because I'm 15 miles from it). therefore I'm going to be a giant prick until someone either fixes this bullshit or tells me to gently caress off.

Finished my first playthrough. Beat the Warrior easily (admittedly I cheesed the gently caress out of that fight) but I still can't kill Dukino's Mom.

Aside from the reduced loot drops compared to BL1, this game is a blast. Man did taking out first aid kits ramp up the difficulty level though. On the plus side I can now carry more guns.

Ah, poo poo. That will make farming for pearlescents a lot more annoying.

Oh well.

The Bee is still kind of broken. Guns that don't list the number of pellets fired still have damage calculated incorrectly, and splash damage is calculated incorrectly with it as well. This is why the DP Harold + Bee is so broken, but of course that gun is broken even without the Bee.

Was this from the Aliens: Colonial Marines launch kerfluffle? His A:CM twitter meltdown was the stuff of industry legend; I'm surprised anyone at Gearbox let him near a computer after he had his wife get onto her account to finger-wag the internet.

I'm totally fine with the ES Glitch fix if they change the drop rates to something more... non-MMO-esque.

And I'm still waiting on that "Knoxx level" DLC.

EDIT:

Ya know what? I don't give one hot poo poo about them fixing the ES Glitch, actually- every legendary I've found while grinding has been from the goddamn Treasure Room. gently caress your drop rates, Gearbox.

Anybody have the zebra skin for Zero they'd be willing to dupe? In return I can dupe my Dahl Predator skin I just unlocked for Salvadore and I have access to most level 50 legendaries.


Also if anyone is up to stomp a mudhole in Pete's rear end and collect some crystals for a little bit I will be on for the next half hour destroying him with the ES glitch while it's still viable.

I just started using the Evil Smasher this last week, so I haven't had a chance to be done with it yet. I'll be on tonight farming Terramorphous or whatever I can do until it updates.

So they balanced the bad guys as if we had the ES glitch... and killed the ES glitch.

Even punk "nothing" mobs are a pain to kill. Named are going to be BRUTAL.

This is solo, YMMV or teams MMV.

I lost over 10K badass rank in the title update, whelp I got through 3 updates without that happening so I guess it was good run. And they didn't "fix" the ES glitch as far as I can tell they just took away it's effect completely.

E: I'm pretty much walking around with my Norfleet out. I don't think they thought the quad health completely out for people playing solo.

Did they raise the cap on how much eridium you could carry? I haven't played in a long time and I thought the cap was 100, but I just picked up another brick and the ticker went to 101. Is there even any use for the stuff aside from the measly 4 it takes to get to Terramorphous?

You can now carry 500, and there's extra stuff at Earl's to buy. 1 Ammo SDU, 2 backpack, 3 bank I believe.

Also, more raid bosses take more.

I think they buggered tier 3 on Pyro Pete's Bar Brawl. On THM its level 60 now with 62 level Badasses, and on even normal mode it's level 50 with 62's spawning. Looks like farming the bar for xp solo just got drat near impossible.

It goes up to 500 now with the patch- also added in the patch are extra SDUs for your bank/backpack- you have to buy 'em from Earl,though. Still not nearly enough storage space for my collection of dumb digital toys IMO. Another use for all that Eridium is spawning the SUPER SECRET raid boss in the Hammerlock DLC- you need approximately 90-99 to do that.

EDIT:
F, B

Also they just took away the Evil Smasher's effect entirely? Pretty lame fix, Gearbox, pretty lame.

Yeah UVHM feels pretty brutal for solo play. Tried it with my zero and my 30K damage Jakobs rifle with 180% critical plus a bee shield still took a minimum of two headshots to kill anything. Plus, now my gunzerker can't farm the tier 3 beatdown bar brawl anymore since the enemies all scaled up to lvl 61, even in TVHM.

On the bright side, they apparently fixed the deathtrap audio glitch though. That poo poo was annoying. So that's good I guess.

Edit: beaten to the beatdown

Yeah, pretty much. My gunzerker is doing ok. But he's dual wielding ravager shotguns, which means I have to get close, which means I go into FFYL far more often than I'd like. Also the enemy health regeneration is not as minor as they made it out to be.

I have the feeling I'm going to have nightmares tonight from what y'all are talking about.

That said, 30+ keys in reserve should help (hopefully). Perhaps sticking to Cataclysm as Maya through TVHM will pay off in UVHM with the slag.

Have any numbers come out yet as to whether they increased the resistances/vulnerabilities of the different elements?

Use fire. No seriously, use fire. I was getting stomped until I started using my incendiary Drummed Jolly Roger and now I'm just ripping through everything. Pack a shock weapon for the shields and you'll do just fine.

My normal loadout is a Consummate Hellfire, Shock Infinity, Corrosive Sledge's Shotgun, and I'll have to find a different fourth since I kept the Evil Smasher for dire emergencies (likely something slag while Phaselock is on cooldown). Just trying to picture how difficult the first set of Bullymongs/bandits are gonna be and judge from that.

EDIT: Monkey Fracas, if you're on 360 I could dupe my aforementioned Hellfire for you if you'd like.
