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 believe I have that skin. That's the crouching tiger challenge one, right? gt: arkitekt4k

Haven't been able to play for a couple of days. Excited to see how hard the game is now. Also, just freed up 5 inventory slots since I don't have to hang on to a bunch of evil smashers now.

Is there anyone playing the 360 that happens to be on Toil and Trouble on the second play through? Or before that quest? I got glitched out of using the elevator (went up to the top after the ambush, stopped playing there, when I re-logged, I was at the start of Sawtooth Cauldron and the elevator was up at the top. No ambush). There doesn't seem to be a way to get to the top and I haven't found anyone around my level/quest through matchmaking. I'll gladly help with whatever is up to that, I just really want to finish the second playthrough. :( My GT on the 360 is iamjackduluoz.

I bought the DLC and I'll be on tonight figuring out upgrade paths. I was able to finish PT1 with my siren last night at lvl30 so if things start getting too rough in the expansion I'll gladly host an easier TVHM session.

Man, I thought I was done with BL2 until they released more actual story DLC. But... I actually can't wait to jump back in and bang my head against UVHM. Hey, something has to be able to stand up to my Gunzerker. I cannot wait to get more skill points so I can max out (or at least put a few points in) every firing rate and non-ammo-consumption related skill.

Now witness the firepower of this fully operational Rough Rider Gunzerker Build!

The zebra skin you get for completing I Like My Monsters Rare with Zero. The Dahl Predator skins come from crouching AR kills (a lot of them). Speaking of that, I would also love the DP skin for any of the other classes if anyone has them!

I'm happy they're fixing a lot of this stuff. It was definitely nice to be able to go farm whatever, and it was pretty funny to have out of control infinity stacks to kill raid bosses in 3 seconds but it made the game trivial.

Rocketzerker is more fun anyway.

Maybe he doesn't have any friends who play the game? I don't get it. Fixing bugs in single player games is generally wanted but in this game it's some sort of personal offense by gearbox.

Not so much a "bug" as an "exploit". I mean, it's unintended, sure, but people here were using it mostly as a means to take out raid bosses and farm poo poo to counterbalance what they saw as unfairly low drop rates on the best items. I would think the game would be a little better if they stopped being so drat stingy with the legendary drops- and they may have actually fixed that in UVHM, we'll see.

Well yeah I can get on the fixing the drop rates thing since I've got a problem with those too. I'm just annoyed that whenver I see something being fixed there's a usual "gently caress you gearbox" stream of angry comments and most advice on killing the raid bosses is "use the bee/evil smasher glitch" or nothing at all. Then there's the whole multiplayer thing I mentioned with people without friends who play the game having problems finding others who won't just rampage through everything via exploit.

Toilet Rascal
It was a legitimate bug, just one that benefitted the player rather than, say, making the game crash. That was obviously not how the weapon was meant to behave, exploits are bugs by nature.

It's a shame some parts of the game will now become inaccessible without putting together a party of 4 top characters, though.

Trying to play with pubbies is a waking nightmare, anyway- it is certainly gauche to go online and use the game-breaking exploit to steamroll everything in your path, but I don't think I've ever played with pubbies that weren't assholes in ways besides that.

Besides the widely derided drop rates, Gearbox also created a lot of neckbeard bad blood by making the first few Raid bosses (in the first DLC, anyway) utter bullshit to try and fight. Hyperious has a gigantic arena-wide shockwave that near kills your rear end (and he sometimes does it twice in a row) and Gee just isn't fun and takes forever.

(Not related to this game, but the company also brought a lot of bad vibes their way by way of their sneaky handling of the press releases before that turd of an Aliens game was released and by their childish antics on social media outlets. People just start to look for things to poo poo on when you behave like that. I still love BL2, but they certainly could have handled some things better.)

I will squeal with glee the moment I find a Maliwan damage bonus plus SMG accuracy or rocket launcher reload. Hell, I want there to be gold relics now. JESUS GOD ADJUST THE LOOT TABLES WILL YOU. I like having the gear I've gotten, but I would have really liked to have found most of it myself.

On a side note, I ran into a level 52 Bullyrott, and died almost instantly. But I'm happy enough with my experience bar being active again that I don't even care. Respawning is only money, and it's mostly useless in the game anyway.

Even Terramorphous was ridiculous until the cc/bee exploit was discovered. A friend and I tried to beat him at least 100 times on normal vault hunter mode. Every fight ended with Terra knocking us both down with a wild swing that covered half the zone and then going underground (with all the tentacles) until we died. That or just flick us off the side of the mountain if his health got too low. Hyperious was untouchable. Pyro Pete was the only raid boss that was fun to sink time into. He's difficult to beat, but he and Voradicious are the only ones (Gee to a MUCH lesser extent, neither of the other 2 at all) to feature a fight that relied on communication, strategy, and environmental awareness to bring down. And Dexiduous was just plain stupid, but I liked the theory of summoning him by having to find and light all the fires instead of just depositing 4E and pulling the lever. Hopefully Pyro and Vora are the models for the Raids in the next DLC.

Hyperius isn't a bad raid boss. He has a really hard set of attacks, but he calls out his nova and it's clear when you can and can't attack him. Gee is the only one I can think of who sucks. Pete is definitely the best to fight though.

Terramorphous can be beaten solo if you just abuse the 2 spots where he can't hurt you. That's how I beat him the first time. I didn't even have a Bee or Conference Call. It took me a while to get used to the pattern but if you know where to go and when to do it the only thing you have to worry about is the tentacles that spawn in places where they can hurt you. Only other thing you have to worry about is running out of ammo. That's just a matter of taking a calculated risk when he goes underground and there are no tentacles.

All the other raid bosses are complete bullshit though and I have no shame about using the ES glitch to beat them.

I wish Gearbox would adjust the drop rates for people like me who don't want to grind for poo poo.
