I'm going to go ahead and call them nerfing The Sham and Norfleet, among others. And I'm totally okay with this, if only for the rage it will bring to one man in Kentucky. :stonklol:

I loved the hell out of Borderlands 1, but couldn't afford to buy the sequel at launch. About a week ago a friend let me borrow his copy, and wouldn't you know it, family birthday money arrived today, the day after BL2 GOTY came out :unsmigghh:

I've read the thread from the start, up to page 115. Fun seeing peoples reactions in hindsight, like the Bee and Evil Smasher nerfs.

Im level 22ish, and Bloodwing just die. Goddamn :stare: at Mordecai's rage murdering on your way out.

Since the area is cleared out, I started Loot Loader Midget farming. Got Jimmy my first time, also got a Flakker, which from reading the thread knew it sucked, and then tested it out, confirming that.

Second run, Conference Call. Did I mention im currently a B0re Zer0?

Edit: third run gave a bonus package. I know im gonna out level this stuff soon, but man, I'm set for a little while. Next three rans gave me nothing.

Also, is it possible to farm the Pirate Treasure room still, or was that perna-fixed?

Also also super sad to see the thread dead :smith:

You fucker. It's one of the last trophies I need and this dude will not show up ever, and I've been at if for hours over the past week. What's the trick to getting the Doctor's Order's loot midgets to show up every time? Because I've had a groups of 3 show up out of the four cardboard boxes...twice. On dozens of runs. I've tried Thousand Cuts running and Opportunity running. Nothing. What the gently caress.

Reach for the moon!
I've finally finished all of the quests in Assault on Dragon Keep after putting it down for the longest time, and man it got un-fun super quick. At around level 35 or so the game suddenly just dropped all the entertaining gameplay and went "I hope you like skeletons that have more health than you do!" They're skeletons! It shouldn't take me two full assault rifle magazines to down one! :argh: I just hate how bullet-spongey everything becomes at higher levels. I'm sure I'd have enjoyed this one more if its recommended level was maybe mid-20s.

I guess I just didn't find the humor funny either. "Ha ha, video games!!" just doesn't ever sit right with me, which is part of the reason I also didn't enjoy Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. I really should have just gone on to playthrough 2 without finishing the last half but the completionist in me wouldn't let me do it. I'm not just disappointed in the game, I'm disappointed in myself :eng99:

Maybe this should close and that be made a general BL2 thread? It's been out a year, most people (Including myself) have moved onto other games. But it's fun to go back to every once in a while and gently caress around in.

With a B0re Zer0 you need to pick up the Sunny Blockhead. I am 65 and still using my 61 to light poo poo up. It, the DP Harold, and the Slagged Orc, are my very favorite guns in the game. But keep that conference call for Bnk-3R.

I only grabbed the first one, so I'm at 1/4 with an echo recorder still in the cardboard box. I've tried it on normal and TVHM, and haven't finished the bloodwing story mission there.

This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

Just a reminder: Today is the first day of the Great Loot Hunt. The site still hasn't updated, but you're going to have to do something silly (I'm guessing get X headshots with Y pistol) with a specific gun each day. Knuckledragger is supposed to be dropping a Gwen's Head pistol soon-ish.

FYI, Gwen's Head is a semi-automatic Dahl pistol that unloads a seven round burst when sight-fired. It's also got a crit bonus that's multiplied differently than most crit bonus guns.

Weird question that may be better-suited for the PC thread, regarding Gibbed's editor:

If your character ranks up to OP8, and you modify them in Gibbed to sync weapons and equipment, will they all remain at 72 or will it adjust everything to the OP level?
I'm interested in seeing more destruction from my DPUH spawns.

That is the most lackluster start to this event and I'm not surprised in the slightest. You can get a Gwen's Head pretty much any time you load up The Dust.

If I haven't played Borderlands since Dragon Keep and I still haven't done the overpower levels or any of that stuff, should I even bother?

From the description getting the gun is not the reward, you just use it to complete the challenge then a "uniquely super-awesome" reward comes later in the week.

Its hard to say if this is going to be worth the effort until the site updates just have to wait... patiently... *reloads page over and over and over*

You're not trying to shoot brittle skeletons are you? Those ones you have to melee; they're super weak to it. I play melee build Zero, and my cousin went through the entire DLC with me splitscreen not realizing that.

I'd be really grateful if someone could friend GuavaMoment on PSN and let me revive them to platinum the game. I'll edit this once I get it.

There is a small note that states " NOTE: Due to processing time, your Loot Hunt accomplishments may not be immediately reflected below and could take up to a few hours to appear. ".

That and a few other problems might have been why they delayed it for so long. It doesn't even update the three enemy's that I manged to find and kill.

Edit: Took an hour for both kill updates. Overall kind of happy about that.

I got two from the Southern Shelf Bay in the room where Midge-Mong is. Someone said "that the eridium mine in Tundra Express has four guaranteed to spawn after you turn the wheel. Don't bother with the other bandit camps, just do the mine (the one with the rat miners)."

Other wise I don't truly know.

edit: "just to add to this, if you go up to where the train crashed and where you fight wilhem, you will spawn there and be closer than the waypoint and save yourself some time."

Not tested so I don't know. Would bandits be even be there? It was a Hyperion Robot area.

I think you'd have to go to the End of the Line, where the train crashed, then back into Tundra Express and save and quit there. The next time you load it, you'll spawn in front of the Tundra Express exit to the End of the Line. I don't really think it's that much closer to the mine than taking the farmhouse waypoint.

The badass marauder goal got met a few hours ago, so that information is just for fun now, I guess. The site's got a countdown to 11AM tomorrow and the clue "The bad guys so nice..." now. My guess is Boom-Bewm will be tomorrow's target.
