It's not that i'm having problems. I'm running a level 50 Siren with decent gear (Level 47 Bee, level 50 Volcano, etc), and although the deaths are cheap it's been fairly reasonable getting to Sanctuary. It's just that i'm not getting ANY XP, which is weird. I'm even doing the side quests, just...nothing. No movement at all. Anyone experience this?

Oh right, UVHM is free but the level cap is separate DLC. :v:

Well I finally have my platinum trophy. I'm not really one of those hardcore achievement/trophy people but I think it really sucks that Jimmy Jenkins is so hard to find and that a platinum trophy is based on a rare roll of the RNG. It also really sucks that there are unlockable challenges and that you have to max out other challenges to unlock them. I love this game but that's just poor design and an unnecessary amount of work to get a trophy.

NOw it's time to get to 61 so I can use all the sweet loot my nice friends have dropped for me.

50/normal. that way i could enjoy having fire powers. that whole tree will be mostly useless in UVHM, unfortunately. it's all fire damage.

the melee tree will be questionable in UVHM, too. Which is unfortunate.

I understand fixing the glitch, and they deserve credit for not forcibly deleting people's items, but really any flak they should be getting should be for not increasing the limit.

UVHM is the mode I want to see him in, though. That's the new mode they've been touting as the end-all-be-all of the game, and they'd drat well better make Krieg work in it if they're charging money for him.

I actually spent a chunk of my Saturday night making mules and moving stuff around. It's really nice to have everything sorted and not have to deal with scrolling through a huge inventory to find what I'm looking for. All my characters have exactly what they need now and if I need something else I can just find a safe spot, pop in split-screen with a mule, dump what I need and quit.

I've been farming Torgue tokens in TVHM by hitting the bar brawl and melting EVERYTHING within a minute. I spaz through about 400 tokens in half an hour. After collecting, I make the jump into UVHM and claim any legendary items worth the 615 tokens and jump between machines to be sure I'm finding the best gear.

Last night, after a few runs in TVHM, I started getting gear for the Psycho. I have about ten buzzsaw class mods now and am stoked as gently caress to try him out.

I saw a WHITE class mod for him last night that had 60% fire damage. I am starting to want to play him, but damnit, it makes my Zero look like a total gimp-mask-wearing tool.

Zero ain't too bad once you have the right gear and death blossom+many must fall is super powerful. Sniping is pretty lovely until you have a good bee shield and melee is only viable once you have a love thumper, slag evisceration rubi and the rapier. I found Krieg's legendary mod already but it's gonna be a long rear end time before I reach 61 on him.

I just started playing this on Xbox over the weekend and would love to play co-op, but nearly cried over the pain that is playing with pubbies.

If anyone is just getting started or has a low level character they're slowly taking through the game, add me up -- My GamerTag is Tor Kallon.

I'm playing Gaige and am at level 11 so far. I'll likely have about 10-15ish hours to play most weeks so the going will be slow. I mostly play pacific time evenings (8:30pm to midnight).

Thanks to you and Neo Hellbeast for all the gear. replacing a level 50 bee with a 61 is a pretty substantial jump in performance.

I'm off work for the day, and am going to gorge myself on delicious Indian food. I'll be on around 12:30 EST, if anyone wants to play. I'm currently working on my 43 Commando, and I'm at the very beginning of the Bunker quest. Or if anyone feels like joining in with a high level guy and destroying everything for me, that'll work, too!

what guns should I be looking to get for a melee Zer0? right now, I have a law/order, but pretty much everything else are just bladed versions of stuff everyone uses. CC's, slagga, infinities, and a few pearlescents. for sniper(since a lot of the melee abilities affect crits), I have a bladed(tk'blahblah-something) cobra, and a night sloth.

The Rapier from the Scarlett DLC. It's the only gun that gives you +200% melee damage.

Wait, so you don't actually care about melee damage? I might be missing something here but my melee Zer0 did almost nothing BUT melee damage. I rarely ever fired bullets. The Rapier owns and makes that melee builds ridiculous.

Well you only asked about guns so that's all I answered with. :)

There are also relics that increase melee damage in addition to reducing your override cooldown so you can basically use the Execute dash move to fly across the map. The Love Thumper shield you get as a reward for killing Henry is another great tool because you'll basically always have a huge maylay shield bonus. A Legendary Hunter class mod is also pretty much essential for the bonuses to max health, melee damage, and Killing Blow. If you don't have one of those there are other class mods that boost similar skills like Ambush.

I loved loved loved melee Zer0 build up through 50, and only played with other builds as I got more legendary guns that tipped the balance of power to ranged. Now on UVHM it seems like melee is impossible, enemies have too much health/shield and kill you too fast. And I had lots of goodies like cooldown reducers and the rapier. I'm only 51 though, maybe it will get better at higher level? Having death blossom and bloodshed at the same time is probably nice.

I've got a legendary mod, and any gear is at least obtainable. I'll have to look into relics. right now, I use a health regen one, but I'd just been focusing on finding good gums that also have blades attached so relic and shield hadn't interest into the equation yet. Guess I'm killing henry tonight.

They worked for me just fine last night. Still no Jenkins which is the main reason for farming them for me.

Also, finally got back into this game and finished PT1 on my Mechromancer last night - only to have the Warrior's corpse block the Moonshot button so I couldn't actually end the boss fight :argh: This loving game sometimes, I swear. Had to blast through Hero's Pass all over again but fortunately didn't have to do the fight over.

Also got an Orange Jack's Head and a Purple Jack's Head. Only Orange drop of the whole fight.
