I am upset that I was wrong about the last skill in the digi-Jack tree allowing you to kill your own digi-Jacks to intentionally blow them up and trigger other skills but I guess what we ended up getting is close enough.
Jack having an entire ability about shooting people in the back would have been the most awkwardly funny thing.

The skill that makes Jack get a free grenade every four kills looks pretty interesting. The thing that regenerates Digi-Jacks health (and yours) probably dovetails really well with the skills that make Jacks do more damage the longer they're alive.

I think that's a Telltale thing. Didn't the first episode of Wolf Among Us release with zero fanfare? The last stream had a short trailer with Patrick Warburton at least. edit: Here it is, at 1:29:00.

The nerf to melee athena is the worst. I get it that they had to reduce the roid damage in the shields a bit, but now they are like 6% of the original damage.

It was trivializing the entire game. You could literally chain 1-shot every enemy in every encounter, and 2-3 shot bosses. Once you get a legendary roid shield with Athena, you can't go back to guns and your gameplay consists of waiting for your shield to go down, pinging the occasional shot to keep the melee damage buff up, then just rampage insta-kill charge attacks.

Then don't use it. It's a single player/co-op game so you're never going to be affected by it if you don't want to. For those that don't give a poo poo about their retarded raid bosses, it was quite nice.

Does Flameknuckle always drop a Nukem in TVHM? I've heard a few people say they got a Nukem off him and then I started TVHM and sure enough, he drops the Nukem. I was just wondering if maybe they were throwing us a bone with an easy legendary right at the beginning of TVHM.

I was using it too, but I'm sort of relieved I can go back to using guns again without feeling like I was doing something far weaker than I could be.

I mean, if they accidentally put a gun in the game that just insta-killed everything with 1 hit, would we argue they should leave it in because it can be a single player game so it's up to the player if they don't want to use it?

I get your point, and the player obviously has the option not to use it, but it was clearly imbalanced so I don't think it was a mistake to nerf it. Also, this opens up the option to still use a melee/Xiphos build but without being completely overpowered.

It's called the Norfleet and yes.

And melee w/o being OP was always an option, because it was only the Shooting Star and Avalanche that had absurd roid bonuses.

Really? I got like 6 purples in the final lootsplosion and the grinder wouldn't let me use them. They definitely weren't from the golden key chest either. Was this added in a patch in the past day or two?

Yes, it was part of the patch. I ground myself a Blowfly last night.

Okay, that prior sentence sounds REALLY awkward, no matter how accurate it is.:fap:

It still had higher damage than Shooting Star, and still does. You could barely notice the downside if you had healing. The downside is your health getting set to 1 at times.

So how does the new 3 Purple > Legendary recipe work? Is it just 3 random purps for a chance at a random legendary? Or is it 3 of the same type of weapon for a chance at the same type of legendary?

Time passes quickly on the weekend.

Well I just tried it on 360, put in 3 purple sniper rifles just obtained from the gold chest. Ended up getting an Invader back again, but hey, achievement and a legendary so I know it works. Doesn't look like you can use moonstone though.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I tried it twice. The first time I just got back another purple.

This is pretty much the best thing they could have done, from both a normal playthrough and endgame grind standpoint.

Agreed, once you get a legendary in the type you want; then you can 2 purple + 1 orange moonstone grind that for luneshine bonuses.

Its a bug that showing the menu prompt for it, but they haven't patched it in yet. When they do add it it is going to be free at least. Sucks that your poo poo keeps getting deleted.

What some people have been seeing after the latest update looks to be a bug that exposes the menu framework for that third playthrough -- problem is, the accompanying content isn't there yet. We're still wrapping up work on Ultimate Vault Hunter mode and will add that to the game in a future update that will make UVHM function properly.
