Playing as my Lv 38 Maya in Normal, trying to clear out the arenas. On the way to the Creature Arena, killed Pimon (sp?) and got my first orange. Lv 20 Swiss Deliverance (Tediore shotgun) that homes in on an enemy when you reload.

Finally found my first item for the secret stash, methinks.

As of this post, code above for 360 is still working.

Also, I've come to the conclusion of gently caress the arenas unless you are overleveled or in a group.

I tend to agree. I'm nowhere near 50 yet but using the chest while leveling up can help you out of a tight spot if the right items spawn (shield with elemental resist, +900 health, and under 1.3 recharge delay? Yes, I'll take that and plow through Eridium Blight when I was in FFYL every fifteen seconds otherwise, thank you very much!).

In my TVHM playthrough, I had the second of the four assassins fall into an abyss when I thoughtlocked a Super Badass Psycho and the temporary ally knocked him off the platform in the one spot that there was no railing.

Save and quit, return to the game, the quest item was on the ground and I didn't have to beat either of the first two assassins again (I had not shut down my 360 yet; YMMV). So it's not like Fallout 3 where some quests are impossible to finish due to glitches--at least in my experience.

I've had that glitch on the 360, usually in Bullymong piles or a small refrigerator-type chest. Had it once on a Zed machine. Doesn't affect the game except to make you pause for a minute and ask if that should hold a quest/legendary item.

So help me out here, I'm playing a 47 Siren and I'm at the part in TVHM where you fight Bloodwing. I can get it down to about 60%, but every time the drat thing Divebombs or attacks, it one shots me (or leaves me with like ~1000HP), and Sprinting when its dive bombing doesn't seem to get me away fast enough to avoid the damage. Phaselocking it only does the spike damage, and I always seem to have no other enemies to kill to get a Second Wind going. My friends have all already moved on to some other game, and I'm stuck doing this solo. Is there a better strategy to doing this fight? Or do i just need to find someone to help me out?

I might not be much help either (Siren @ Lv 40 with no legendaries) but I could respec into the healer tree if you think another body will help. GT is same as my screen name here if you're interested.

Going to start adding names myself. Looking to get into a 4-player game at some point.

Yeah, I did the DLC before finishing Normal mode. I thought the DLC was higher on the cash by design since we're talking about pirate booty and all, which usually means a lot of cash. Normally scaling the levels wouldn't result in that big of a jump. (Also, think about the sheer number of chests in the DLC.)

Regarding the experience, the extra couple of levels will be inconsequential. I wouldn't worry about feeling overleveled.

Well, I thought BNK-3R was going to be difficult with the Siren on TVHM. More grind than difficult when you are only hitting on a crit for 62K a pop. Good news is grinding (solely to get the missions done) at Opportunity, Thousand Cuts and at the Bunker site was more lucrative XP-wise. Up to Level 48 now, think there's a possibility without excess grinding that I could hit 50 before reaching the end of TVHM.

Think I have my goal for the extended weekend now.

Most bosses can be sniped while underlevelled from a relatively safe spot if you're patient. For Bnk3r on my Siren I just stuck to the bottom deck near the vending machines and plinked him down. The Warrior can also be shot from outside of his room if you jump up on the wall to the left of the drop down to his room.

I stuck to the waterfall; his mortars would go to either one side or the other. The one time he parked at the bottom of the platform, I wedged myself in the little nook where the ceiling support met the ground and just popped out when the fire had stopped to get a few shots in. The Phaselock (Ruin) was quite helpful to get rid of those drat auto-cannons.

And that makes one character through to 2.5 mode, with most of the quests still intact.

How do you get 2.5 set up? Just run though 2.0 without doing anything other than story quests?

You can do some side quests. Whatever ones you decline (or don't even talk to the quest giver for that quest) will jump to 50.

The "accepted" practice is to do sidequests that award Eridium, a face/skin, or green-tier weapons for the extra XP, since quite a few blues are unique rewards (Law, Order, Scorpio, Firehawk shield, etc).

Tofu: I honestly do not know. My gut says yes but I cannot confirm/deny that.

Randy did an interview in the latest issue of Game Informer. A big thing to note is that he talked about the eventual nerf to the bee shield. He said they won't be changing its upside at all, but fixing its downside. Whatever that may be. Still no solid date on the nerf, just that its coming.

Think I read somewhere that the downside of The Bee is that your shots weaken when the shield is depleted or charging. I have not tried to see if this is true however. If it is, making that worse (say, 1 damage a shot) may be what he's referring to. This is all just speculation on my part though.

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 get into that tonight after a Terra run (looking for Terra's Siren mod) and if I'm not otherwise occupied in game.

I got past the thresher as Maya on TVHM by spawning Loaders and letting the thresher aggro on them, and kept in the back with a shock weapon to take out shields if needed. By the time the Loaders were destroyed, the thresher was down to about 70% health, and my flame shotgun I had at the time was enough to do the trick. I had no legendaries at this point of the game.

Still cost me about 25 respawns and close to 40 minutes of time before I got lucky enough to finish it off after the initial Loader moonshot blitz.

In about a half-dozen fights with Warrior, I've yet to see an orange drop. In two fights with Terra? Mecho mod and Siren mod--my secondary and primary characters. Much rather farm Terra at that rate.
