DLC endboss chat again: I got the guy on my second go-through, probably took around 45 minutes. Such a tedious fight, I didn't have much trouble staying alive thanks to all the health glitches floating around, especially once I'd shot off all the turrets and rocket launchers, the thing's just an annoying ammo sync. The fight basically becomes just running from ammo station to ammo station. And I think my biggest annoyance with the boss is that beam weapons can't reach him, and a beam was the only decent corrosive weapon in my arsenal. That aside, I thought the DLC was good. I'd put it about even with the rest of the game, I thought it was definitely worth the $10.

I usually don't have issues w/ console FOVs, but playing BL2 on the ps3 has felt a bit disorienting and given me headaches after longer sessions. Please tell me there's an FOV slider in Handsome.

 Found a legendary called the Omni-Cannon in the DLC. It just straight-up causes an explosion at wherever you point the crosshair. I also found a legendary laser rifle called the Longest Yard that fires an infinite range sniper laser that does like a bajillion damage. I like the DLC so far! edit: Awww Claptrap's greatest fear is other people being lonely  CJacobs fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Mar 31, 2015 |

PC. I beat it in one try but that one try consisted of half an hour of staring up at the sky and holding down my mouse button which was boring and lovely and ugh. However, I consider it worth it because I got to watch every claptrap in the game explode and see fragtrap get shot in the face while Nisha and Wilhelm laugh it up so I take back my taking it back, the DLC was actually alright.

I struggle to understand how people have problems with EOS but have not once mentioned Eclipse who is WAY worse. EOS was a dumb bulletsponge sure but Eclipse is just pure bullshit in the way it never stops attacking, even with multiple targets.

Eclipse announces its missile attacks five seconds before, giving ample time to empty your clip and take cover. Those rib things alongside the central path are all the cover you need, also. Even as Nisha, I basically ignored the adds even on UVHM and just shot the boss forever.

Eclipse might well telegraph it's attacks, but the problem we had was he didn't stop firing. That the SECOND we stepped out of cover we got hit and health gated, and when we inevitably died he would launch an endless (we stood and waited for a few minutes one time) barrage of homing missiles at the spawn point, which would get caught by the forcefield. Jump out of that forcefield and get instantly healthgated again! Over and Over. Maybe it bugged out but it felt like so much bullshit.

I got stuck on Eclipse last night, and haven't tried again yet today. Soloing him is an exercise in endurance, and twice I had exhausted his shield and worn him down to half his health or less, and then died. It was frustrating as hell. Also, I noticed a bug with the Shadowtrap fight. If you're soloing and die, when you respawn he goes back to full health and has an unbreakable shield, but Hope and Self-Esteem or whatever the minibots powering the shield are called no longer spawn, making Shadowtrap invulnerable. I had to save and quit and go back in for them to spawn normally and let me drop his shield.

Does anyone have a loot colour rarity table for Cheat Engine for TPS? There was a nice single purpose one for BL2, but I can't find one for TPS. There is a big comprehensive cetrainer file for TPS, but when I use it to adjust loot colour rarity all ammo becomes rockets. Not ideal.

My one complaint about The Pre-Sequel is the lack of a wide variety of interesting loot. I think it's largely that I'm spoiled by all the DLC weaponry from BL2, but there don't seem to be a lot of good red text weapons. On the other hand, regular weapons are actually worth using in this game. Plus it sounds like the Claptrap DLC added a bunch of cool weapons, so maybe this issue would be resolved if the game had more content coming. Another part of it is that I played so much UVHM with a basically fixed inventory that I don't expect regular weapons to be useful anymore. (Melee Zer0 -- all I needed was a Rubi/Grog Nozzle, Rapier and Hide of Terramorphous. Why bother with anything else?)

Viral Marketer is always corrosive with bouncing bullets, while the Conference Call has bullets that split on impact/after a certain distance. They do have the same skin though, which makes it more confusing. I'm excited to try out the new guns in the Claptrap DLC, but I'm still waiting for the Season Pass to go on sale.

I mean...by the way BL2 ended, it seems like the next step is an MMORPG like you describe. I know that waaaaaay back in the day (possibly before BL1 was even released), the publisher secured the rights to other "Border-" titles, including "Borderworlds". Not that that really means anything, but it wouldn't surprise me to see 2K poo poo out a "Borderworlds" style MMORPG somewhere down the road.

Jesus loving christ that endboss. It's probably our fault for jumping right into the DLC from TVHM so everything was always like 5-10 levels above us but two friends and I spent at least an hour fighting both forms. Homing missiles that can hit you even in spawn? Attacks that take you down in 1 or 2 hits like always? Bulletsponge bosses? Breaks where the boss can literally recharge its whole shield and we have to take it down all over again? We each died about 40 or 50 times apiece during this we were just lucky to die in shifts so the boss never regained all its health back. We also didn't have edited top-of-the-line gear so that probably didn't help. I really wasn't feeling TPS before but I think I'm going to skip any future DLC. I'm just so disappointed because I really liked BL2.
