WhiteHowler posted:Has anyone gotten the CheatEngine rarity hack to work with the Pre-Sequel? Works for me. You won't get legendaries from every single mob, but a good way to see if it's working is to open some lockers. Not chests, just regular old lockers. They should have legendaries in them 75% of the time or so if your CE is working.

I like the bonus package. I picked one up on a new character at level 7. I'm now at level 18 still using that same grenade. It's nice when you can use a legendary for a considerably long time. I wish they were all like that.

Are any of the characters notably shittier than the other classes (e.g. Zer0 in BL2)? Picked this up when it came out but haven't had a chance to play it yet. Probably not going to play every class so I want to make sure I don't pick a bad one to start with.

Claptrap has been getting a lot of flack, but I think that's because he's Claptrap. Part of it is that he has skills that are more useful in co-op than solo, and his entire right tree is really hard to use to the point of uselessness. Personally, I've found all of the characters to be solid and interesting.

They seen to have one a much better job of making all the classes fun this time. Clap Trap is more suited to multiplayer with his skills that buff the whole party, but he's also fun solo. Wilhelm is a murder machine backed up by two smaller murder machines, and Athena is unkillable. I haven't played much Nisha but now that I have a Level 50 Maggie that might have to change. Jack is great fun, and like I mentioned before is just ridiculous with a bonus package and his skill that makes his clones throw copies of his grenades. Basically every class is amazing this time around.

For drop rates in CE, did you also adjust the player and boss weights? I set those to 10,000 and everything seems to drop a piece of gear.

Bold Robot posted:Are any of the characters notably shittier than the other classes (e.g. Zer0 in BL2)? Zero wasn't notably shittier by any reckoning, especially before UVHM became a thing. He was surprisingly average at sniping though, which is what I wanted to do with him. If you liked what Zero should have been, then Nisha is the obvious choice, though you may either love or hate the action skill. Some will say Wilhelm is mediocre, no-one will deny Claptrap is very random, but none of the characters are lovely. Speaking as someone who plays solo, isn't terribly interested in 'end game grinding', and will happily play one class to 50, then cheat a bit with the others, and then wait for an expansion for more toys...play Nisha.

Zero was lovely because he had 1 capstone that was essentially useless and another that only worked with a specific build. He also had a larger amount of useless/situational skills (like the whole bottom half of his sniper tree). It made him a really stale character. Genocyber posted:Chests tend to be crap for good loot as well, I've found. If I open a big-rear end chest after killing a boss I should not be getting all greens.

Zer0 also had the problem that he had a lot of capacity to get into trouble but not to get out if you're using Deception as intended, and his sniper tree was middling. It was a similar issue to the one Brick has in BL1, where Deception, like Berserk, is often more useful for running away than charging in... which isn't very fun. It wasn't until Krieg that they finally found the balance of a melee-heavy character that's actually fun and effective.

I really just want dudes I kill to have a chance to drop good weapons, something that doesn't seem to happen with the normal setting. It's not fun to play for an hour or two and get absolutely nothing that's better than what I already had.

WhiteHowler posted:I don't think those values exist in the .cetrainer file I have, or I'm too dumb to find them. Iwajiwa and the Final Boss are the ones you want to fight for the lootxplosion. If you're playing normally, always hit up red chests and moonstone chests (for guaranteed purples). TVHM also has better drop rates, so you can edit your character to do that mode exclusively.

If you are looking for a sniper, the Baroness is probably your best bet. Not sure when she is supposed to come out, but her sniper tree is probably the best sniper tree in Borderlands so far.

I'm a big fan of how Nisha's middle and right trees (maybe just the right one, not sure whether it's Riflewoman or FtH or both because I've been Wilhelm for a while) makes her insanely effective if you have a Jakobs sniper. Boosts fire rate, makes it more accurate from the hip, etc etc. It's partly how I murdered the second half of the game - Vibrapulse, Boganella, and some non-elemental Jakobs sniper I think the fourth weapon was a fire laser or something.

The Baroness's Cryo tree has me intrigued as well. Two quick builds http://thepresequel.com/Aurelia/55510100000050510101551510000000000000 http://thepresequel.com/Aurelia/55500100000050500140550510000000000000 Not sure if the last 4 points are better spent for increased cryo DPS or gaining a bunch of the 1 skill point abilities. I cherrypicked a lot of good skills from the sniping tree without being 100% focused on sniper rifles. I only play solo so her right tree is absolutely useless to me which is a shame. lazerwolf fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Nov 17, 2014 |

drat I hosed up and went into TVHM at level 27, so now I'm only at 32 and the story mission is 35. This wouldn't be a problem except there aren't any side quests at my level either, they are all 35 or 36. Everything one shots me. The only option I see is just keep grinding the open world until I get to at least level 34 but that will take a while, there aren't that many enemies even roaming around at my level.

Most people don't know this but the High Five Guys capstone works off of enemy melee attacks as well; so I usually just click in right thumb and charge an enemy get them to trigger it and just start exploding everything. I've got a Sapper Mod that gives +5 to One Last Thing and +4 to Killbot,

I would like to amend that thing I said a few days ago because literally the first thing Jack says to the doppelganger in the intro is "hey, my body double arrived!" and then Moxxi basically instantly sees through him so it's pretty cut and dry which is which unfortunately. I'm disappointed.
