Richardson agrees
What is the ideal leveling area or method for 50-61? I've tried to two player split screen UVHM and it seemed okay for a little while but now we are just running our heads against the wall. The only good items we have are level 50 Bee shields, which is probably part of the problem, but when we drop back down to TVHM the xp difference is so insanely low that it doesn't seem worth it.

I don't really follow. Does that do anything to throw the midget spawning algorithm into a repeatable percent?

No, it just makes it quicker to do a run and open all of the chests. Not ideal or anything.

On the subject of farming things, I've never farmed the Treasure Room. I'm just about to complete Captain Scarlett's DLC for the first time. I've seen the videos on how to do it and so on, my question is are there any gotchas I need to know? Quests not to do, don't enter it through the door normally like Knoxx's treasure room, etc. Basically are there any ways I can screw it up and lock myself out?

No, not really. Once you complete the quest X marks the Spot, the treasure room's main door closes. Glitching back into the treasure room takes some practice in doing but is relatively easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyj0chQZR8A This my video on how I do it which is a combiination on two different methods that I find give me the elevator lock 95% of the time on the first try. Once you get into the invisible corner look down and line your crosshairs up like I do and then jump forward. If you're in the right spot you should hardly move at all. Then do a 180 and look into the crack and line up your crosshair like I do and then jump backwards. You should be locked into place on the glitch. Now just jump straight up like a madman until you stop ascending. Then just follow the rest of the video.

When I fought him on UVHM he glitched out on the last orb (the one in his mouth), he refused to expose it at all so I had to plink away at him with a level 50 CC while running a circuit around that tiny platform so the worms wouldn't one shot me :waycool:

Luckily it hasn't glitched on me yet, but I just had him with literally no red in his healthbar and I went down. The worms were too busy jumping around to let me kill them so I could revive myself. As if it wasn't bad enough that I can't phaselock them.

The funny thing is they could have just made only Jenkins spawn if they wanted to artificially inflate the rarity of Pearlescents and E-Tech relics. But they just went the Evil Smasher route again and took the most rear end way possible to 'fix' the 'problem.'

Given that several people in this thread got a full set of pearlescents within about a week of the update, I kind of see why they did it. With a couple of hours you could get a decent number of legendaries with pearlescents only being semi rare in that time.

The Leviathan was one of the shittiest things solo ever. You need to spawn the worms, but you need to keep under cover to not be killed. Meanwhile its all spitting slag and throwing poo poo. I finally found two places I could hit all of his weak spots and be 90% certain I would stay safe. The poo poo part was jumping out on the floor to spawn Worm Queens, and getting back before they got me. Luckily someone was nice enough to dupe me a CC and Bee which helped a lot. Took me almost an hour. Piece of poo poo. I think I am doing well on gear now between treasure room and goons, so I hope I can pay back some folks.

Gaige was released four days after she started echo casting. Hammerlock's DLC was released four days after HE started echo casting. Torgue's DLC was released later than that but I'm thoroughly convinced that's because the writers had too much fun with his dialogue.

I'm betting it's a May 1st release.

I'm playing UVHM little by little, mostly because I can only stand it in small doses. I'm using my explosive commando, but I find that my only real option is my unkempt harold. When I did the Doc Mercy quest that requires you to use that e-tech machine gun I could barely kill anything. Slagging made it only slightly more tolerable.

Question about the Poker Night 2 items, do we know yet if you have to play Poker Night 2 on the same console you play Borderlands 2 on to get the BL2 unlocks?

That quest sucked in TVHM and it sucked again in UVHM. I love firing 100 bullets at people just to get them to die.

I'd imagine it would be the same console. It will probably just find a save file making sure you've done what needed to be done to get the head, and load up automatically in the skin machine.

I am so incredibly lucky and thankful that I just got Jimmy Jenkins and my platinum trophy this past week. I would've hated my gaming life if I had to farm Jimmy the normal way. I'm not even an achievement/trophy whore but making achievements/trophies dependent upon rare RNG results is just really bad design.

I would guess the reason behind that is just "replay value add" but the game is already replayable as hell. There's a ton of DLC, raid bosses, new characters classes, etc. An RNG thing like Jimmy is just dumb.
