Marogareh posted:Does the Chere'amie also make a loud and horrible sound when you hit someone or is it just me. It's kinda hard using one of the best snipers in the game with that deafening glitch. Also dual sticky turrets with rocket pods is a thing of beauty. It can't be worse than the gun that nags you after every shot. Or the good touch that will prematurely burn out your controller's motor in 30 minutes

Kifisonfire posted:Arid Badlands was my choice for chest farming. One on top of the grenade store, one in Zed's after sniping the electrical fuse and one on the building by Saturn. I don't know where you stand to snipe the fuse box because I never found an angle where I could see it. I always just stood a ways back and bounced an e-tech round off the tiny wall next to the fuse box. You can get the required angle standing pretty close to the electrified door, maybe a 2-3 seconds run away. I did the same thing in Eridium Blight with the fuse box that is on the very tall tower/wall at the first intersection you get to

Draile posted:I hated this quest because I hate the eridium blight. However on normal difficulty this was the easiest of the timed quests for me. I started at the mailbox in the center of the map, then jumped off the cliff and landed next to the catch-a-ride. I spawned the runner and did the other mailboxes in counterclockwise order, walking to the last two and running past as much combat as possible in the bandit camp. I finished with plenty of time to spare. If you're willing to take the time, you can open all of the mailboxes without taking the packages. This will let you take the time to kill the enemies in the 5 locations first. Then it's a simple matter of making another loop in a runner, which only takes about 1:30-2:00 total

ShadowedFlames posted:One video I saw of a Vermivorous fight showed that it took a group of four almost 25 minutes for it to spawn, and in the meantime had 3 Ultimate Badasses, 3 Super Badasses, and 2 regular Badasses on the field at the same time before one decided to spawn. I'm not sure you'd have luck with pubbies on that account. Basically it's a time thing unless you get lucky and get it to spawn quickly (~ 3 minutes at the least). I might have seen that same video. Did they first try in the Tundra and eventually move to Caustic Caverns because Mordecai killed the Ultimate Badass Varkid?

Kifisonfire posted:I understand it from a certain perspective. There's an entire game to play and if people are just going to use the win combo then what's the point in even farming legendaries? Plus with future DLC it means people might actually have to put effort into beating them instead of holding the right trigger with a Bee shield equipped. That might depend on how much they actually nerf the amp damage. Even going from 50k per shot to 25k per shot will be enough to grind through bosses fairly easily. Fixing the pellet damage will only shift the balance of power to fast accurate SMGs. I'm also curious to see if they fix the babymaker/bee combo (which might be in the misc balance tweaks)

TheGreatGildersneeze posted:And post one, I shall. I just got to watching this video on an actual PC and there is an easier way to do this. Once you make your left turn at the top of the first rock and you hit the invisible wall under. Continue facing the lower point, hold Up+Leftm and jump. At the peak of your jump, crouch and continue to hold up+left. Once you get the elevator glitch, just jump and proceed normally. It sounds more complicated, but it requires less "look at this point exactly, then do it again on another obscure and difficult to see point." Edit: And a huge thanks to the goon who gave me the Law and Order. I had them at level 40 and it is a huge difference between 10 levels.

Marogareh posted:If you have the pirate dlc don't even bother with verm and just glitch the treasure room for it. I got the Siren, Mechromancer and Assassin legendary mod in there with little to no effort. I've been trying to spawn Verm for the past few days. It's good to know there is an easier way to get them. I was curious if they would drop there too. Since the bee is getting nerfed, what other shields are worth a drat? Also, do you think it is possible to get the Blood of Terra relic from the treasure room as well? kim jong-illin posted:How do you know this, is there a video preview out yet? No poo poo. I've gotten more Orange drops from the treasure room then from bosses. From the treasure room, I've gotten a: Skullmasher 2 Conference Calls 2 Deliverances Babymaker Stormfront (seriously, who thought this was a good name?) I've gotten the following to drop from bosses Lyuda Conference Call Some pink unicorn skin for Zero Bee Shield A bunch of Terra class mods, but those are a guaranteed orange drop. I'm sure I could get a Slagga at some point, as you spawn close to a catch a ride in the Dust and its a 10-15 second drive to kill the Hodunks. The Infinity pistol eludes me because it's such a pain in the rear end to keep reloading, and the same thing applies to try and get the Bonus package from Boom and Bewm. I can't get a Maggie (Legitly) because I chose to side with the Zafords. More often than not, it's a pain in the rear end to try and farm some of these bosses because of the trek to get to them, and it's going to be an even larger PITA with the bee shield nerf. However, I wonder if the Sandhawk is going to be captured in the nerf. It shoots 7 or 8 rounds at a time, but doesn't officially show that on the stat card. Farming Terra is much easier than with a CC. If anyone wants to help out, I'll be on at 8pm EST. PSN is abaddonis. I'm really interested in a Hide of Terra, Maggie, Bonus Package, Infinity, Norfleet, Hellfire, and Blood of Terra.

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:I hope they never do. It's the only reason I managed to beat the last two chapters of TVHM by myself, without leeching off the exploits of far better players. I'm afraid I've become too reliant on it, though, and it's sort of a pain using it with Gaige, so I'm trying to get myself better gear to stop relying on it. TVHM wasn't that hard. Tedious, yes. I'd say the toughest part was trying to solo the wildlife preserve without the bee shield. Seriously, gently caress stalkers in the god drat rear end. Rabid Stalkers are easily the cheapest enemies in the game.

pasaluki posted:I got a relic that increases tediore clips by 58%. The generally accepted strategy for hyperius is to get 4 people with tediore relics to throw baby makers with a bee shield on. Shoot once and then reload. When there is over 50 rounds left in the mag, it does about 1 mil per throw. I found my mongol in the treasure room and its a lot of fun to use. My normal rotation is a maggie, baby maker, CC, and a skullmasher, but I think I am going to switch out the sniper. I have an AR that does 32k base damage and then poops out a grenade when it hits. I was just playing with some pubs after we beat Pete. One of them poo poo out a bunch of oranges and pinks.

echronorian posted:I played Borderlands 2 a lot when it first came out and got my gunzerker up to level 44. Then I stopped playing. The DLC has brought me back in but my gear is totally poo poo, judging by the last two pages there are a lot of good strategies and gearbuilds people are finding. I'm wondering how do I find some of that? Who should I be raiding? Is there a website people are leaning on for information? Your best bet for finding legendaries and decent gear is to raid/glitch into the treasure room from the Captain Scarlett DLC. You can also earn some serious scratch by picking up the valuable items, save/quit, and sell off anything you don't want to keep. You can even get the legendary class mods that are normally found on Vermivorous (the final evolved form of the varkid.) Good Legendary/Rare Loot: Boss - Location - Weapon Doc Mercy - Three Horns Divide - Infinity Pistol Jimbo and Hector Hodunk - The Dust - Slagga SMG * Mick Zaford - The Dust - Maggie Pistol * (Try to get the Two-Fer variety) The Warrior - Vault of the Warrior - Conference Call Shotgun Madame Von Bartlesby - The Tundra - Baby Maker SMG Hunter Hellquist - Arid Nexus Badlands - The Bee Shield ** BNK3R - The Bunker - The Sham Shield Boom and Bewm - Southern Shelf - Bonus Package Grenade Terramorphous the Invincible - Terramorphous Peak - Hide of Terramorphous shield Frostburn Canyon - Lascaux SMG - Found in a puddle near the Spiderant Frozen Pond Sand Hawk SMG - Quest Reward for a Captain Scarlett DLC Mission "Whoops" Law Pistol - Quest Reward for "Won't Get Fooled Again" Available pretty early in the game. *** Order Shield - Quest Reward for "BFFs" Available after the "Where Angels Fear to Tread" mission (Late Game) *** * You can't get both of these items in the same playthrough unless you glitch into the treasure room or trade for one. You have to choose to side with either the Zafords or Hodunks. ** The Bee is going to be nerfed in an upcoming patch. Use it while you can. It is also unknown if the existing items will be "grandfathered" in, although I highly doubt it. *** These two items are unremarkable when used individually, but when used together, can be used to replenish crazy amounts of health. Your R3 button will hate you though. Edit: Most of these items can be found by glitching into the Treasure Room, although none are guaranteed to be there. Anyone else can feel free to add on with what works for you. abaddonis fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Nov 26, 2012 |

Bugsy posted:My LOOTSPLOSION actually happened (the loot was very mediocre) but my credits were completely silent. Was there supposed to be music/dialogue during it? I got some dialogue at the beginning between moxxi and tiny tina. This last DLC was very buggy and I'm kind of disappointed. I've had a few freezes happen in the tier 3 bar fight mission where there is so much going on. Also, with 4 players, there is considerable frame rate, but that isn't really related to just the DLC. The torgue DLC was kind of just "drive here, kill X, drive here, kill Y". The tokens (and seraph crystals) are a terrible idea. I finished the DLC with just about 300 tokens (I didn't do every single mission, but I did do quite a few) and I'm nowhere close to getting an under leveled orange weapon. I have only just enough to get a head or some random purple that I can find somewhere else for 1/50th the effort. The crystals are the same thing. Why grind these 1 per day bosses for 2 weeks only to get some lovely gun that has equivalent stats to a blue or purple? I certainly hope they will offer some kind of upgrade option in future releases, because I'll be damned if I have to hunt for oranges again when (if?) they increase the level cap. They're only going to encourage rampant hacking and modding otherwise.

In the very few hours I do have available to me to play video games in a week, I'd rather be doing things that don't involve killing the same mobs over and over for hours. That's not fun. Not to mention the freezing issues because the game can't process everything at once. It isn't freezing with multiple players, it's freezing while playing solo for me. The idea that I want to spend 6 hours to get a weapon that is 2 levels underleveled is ridiculous.

orcane posted:Regarding that, I really think for replay value it's a mistake to only have easy playthrough one that gets you to about level 35, and hard TVHM and nothing in between. Mainly because the game doesn't scale PT1 and you can only replay quests once per playthrough. I think part of the problem with these crazy raid bosses is that they're designing them to be beaten with the bee/cc combo. I just solo'd Pete by glitching him onto the ledge and spamming him with shotguns and a bee from behind the scaffolding so I wouldn't be hit by his nova. It took me a good 20 minutes to do that. Without the bee/glitch, I don't even know if I would have gotten his shields down

ClemenSalad posted:Learn to think of your deception as a giant grenade and put 5 points in unforeseen with a class mod if possible. I got through TVHM solo without too many hangups. I think this is how the drops work in this game. When killed (or possibly when the enemy spawns,) a random number is generated that corresponds to a drop list/loot table in the case of certain bosses. The cobra is on that list .88% of the tables for the burner gang. So if there 1000 possible drops, approximately 9 of them are a cobra. So, the good news is that for every enemy you kill, you have the same chance of getting the cobra on the first try as the 10,000th try. The bad news is that you have a less than 1% chance of getting it every time you kill a burner.
