I don't wanna play any more because I'm not high enough level to finish this quest and my Sal sounds like Handsome Jack. :/

I recommend getting 2x Infinity Pistols and a Sheriff's Badge and throwing a real wall of bullets. A real, endless, infinity-symbol-shaped wall of bullets.

How well does the Infinity work with that final perk in the Rampage tree? I think it's that it make you fire faster the longer you hold the trigger down? Sounds like the perfect thing for a bottomless supply of bullets.

LAN party over the weekend took my second character (Gunzerker) through TVHM and got him to 50, then one of my buddies and I did some Flesh-Stick boosting so now I have a 50 Commando, Gunzerker, and Assassin and he has a 50 Gunzerker and Mechromancer.

On top of that my Assassin has a great set of gear for Bloodshed. Inflammable Order, a Slagged Captain Blade's rapier, Slick Law, Love Thumper. All level 50 versions. I think I'm really going to like TVHM with Assassin. :black101:

Here's what I have to decide on: My commando that has all achievement-related challenges past rank 1 except for Jimmy Jenkins, or my assassin that has Jimmy Jenkins completed but a lot of other challenges that haven't gotten rank 1 yet.

I'm guessing that I could hop on the assassin and finish all of these challenges before my commando would even see Jenkins once.

Two playthroughs with ZerO and countless hours farming, never got a single legendary weapon.

First playthrough with Gaige, 2 legendary drops by level 28!

This game is sexist!

Sidenote: Both legendaries were immediately useless, but I did enjoy having an SMG called "Analytical Bitch"

If it's any consolation, all playthrough 1 legendaries are useless in the long run.

Hell, even playthrough 2 legendaries are kind of awful compared to what you get in 2.5. I finally just went ahead and sold my Dubble Gub and Royal Deliverance because they were useless compared to anything I've gotten since hitting level 50.

Why the hell is Zero's Slayer of Terramorphous mod still not fixed? It's still boosting a skill in Salvador's tree. How the hell do you make a mistake like that, Gearbox?

Farming orange sucks. And so does cooping through TVHM only to have a pubby flag a quest before everything scales up to 50 so you miss your chance for level 50 quest loot. I have some things that I'd be glad to dupe for goons, including CC, Bee, Blade's rapier, Love Thumper, Law and Order, Shredifier, Two Fer Maggie, etc. All level 50. If you're on Xbox and want some orange loot but don't wanna pull your hair out farming, feel free to add me to your friends list with my GT lol speedboat

PC got a patch today http://support.gearboxsoftware.com/entries/22126761-pc-update-information

The Bee is nerfed and Flesh stick leveling fixed.

Get your power leveling in while you can, I imagine a similar patch is working its way through microsoft certification.

Well, I better boost my last character to 50 then. And then I think I'll sit back and wait for all the crying to come out of that Bee nerf. Wow. I think I'll go to the Sham now.

I'm actually kind of intrigued to see how shield priorities shift now that the Bee is getting nerfed as soon as the patch gets approved for consoles. Maybe shields will be used more as a defensive item than a damage booster.

On another note, I made my game open to pubs, and I've pulled in an orange almost every stop I've made to the treasure room. Maybe it's a good run, maybe I've prayed to the correct deity, or maybe that has something to do with it?

What, that player count has an effect on loot drops? That's what the loading screen tips say, anyway.

That being said, a few arena-type areas can really liven up the endgame content- y'know, give you something to throw your lvl 50 character/lvl 50 bitchin' arsenal at other than nigh-impossible-to-solo raid bosses.

I haven't been posting much lately because of reasons but I have just updated the OP with DLC information and things, which is a fantastic way to spend my time on an idle Wednesday.

Speaking of which it's about time it had an FAQ, so if anyone has anything they think worthwhile that isn't below then that'd be grand.

-Activating TVHM and PT2.5.
-Sidequests in PT2.5.
-The achievement for all challenges complete.
-SHiFT codes and how they actually work.

I haven't had chance to buy the DLC yet (paid tomorrow :woop:) but from the sounds of things I am missing out pretty heavily, can't wait to sink my teeth into it.

It might be worth mentioning that Mechromancer isn't included in the season pass. That question's been asked quite a bit in the last thread. I even thought she'd be included in the season pass when I bought it.

Any 360 nerds have a purple explosive damage relic they're willing to dupe? I can share some oranges and a few seraphs in exchange. For example: meteor shower, might/blood of the seraphs, evolution, and big boom blaster for Pinks. Oranges I have a lot, including a DP Unkempt Harold (Only a 48 though, drat) and Shredifiers, Legendary classmods for each class, etc. PM me or add me on XBL, gamertag is the same as my forums name.

I'm using a build right now on my Commando that only uses 2 orange guns: the Kerblaster and the Unkempt Harold. Before the Bee nerf I was just using the Bee and 4 of the most broken guns I could find. With what I'm doing now I feel like I'm actually playing the game. :aaaaa:

Just to echo the "Orange isn't everything" sentiment, a purple torgue shotgun with a high pellet count (I think they're always called Ravagers) beat the crap out of a pretty decent chunk of orange guns. I'd kill for a level 50 purple Ravager, but any purple torgue shotties I get are all with a spread of 5 or 6 shots.

I've been farming Henry the stalker trying to get the Rasta head for my Gunzerker. I've pulled three(!) copies of 'The Cradle' shield and not a single head. What the hell, are they really rarer than legendary crap?

The treasure stash is my go-to place for relics and stuff because of the crazy amount of chests, but even when I find them a lot of the time it will be just shy of "the relic". I find a lot of action skill 32% relics, which is great since I already have a 35%. But yeah, I'll keep an eye out.

Cool, I appreciate it. I've been farming Pete for relics, and I actually found my 24% explosive relic from Terramorphous. Perhaps the treasure room would be better overall. It's really boring, but so is Pete farming at this point.

I played through the Torgue DLC when it first came out as a Commando and had no problems with the Badassasaurus, so I thought "what's the big deal?"

Oh, you got an even better Norfleet? You're gonna share that back this way, right? :allears:
