check to see if it comes with 1.1.6.0 patch, as that's how it is on steam (it's free dlc)

It's a good update. Trials are fun, especially the last one. The axe feels very hefty. You need a metric shitton of orbs to fully upgrade even one weapon, though. But I guess that's what the half dozen extra tiers of Insanity are for.

The amount of orbs to get past even the third tier of upgrade is pretty insane - but I guess that's why the first upgrades are so cheap, gives plenty of room to experiment.

The last patch turn me off this game completely.

Oh well, at least the game was pretty good for one playthrough. Definitely not regretting buying it for 30 bux.

yeah, i'm genuinely kind of curious as to what this patch in particular could have done since literally all it did was add extra poo poo for people to do.

I don't know what his problem in particular is, but I think the patch is really meh. Instead of going in and balancing all the guns so they're all equally viable, they just let you break all of them completely through grind. That's not design, that's lazy.

Well poo poo. I didn't know you can't pick up the loot after dealing the finishing blow to the final boss.

The trials seem not so good. With the exception of the last, they are all big arenas where a huge number of enemies auto-detect you and will clear the map in about 2 jumps to get to you, so it quickly turns into either an incomprehensible mess or a bunch of kiting. One of them is also segmented by foliage and spiderwebs everywhere so you have even less of an idea what the hell is going on than the others.

I assume they are also intended for NG+/the higher tiers of insane, because doing all of them on hard gave me ~50 orbs, with embedding one gem into one weapon costing as much as 210.


It doesn't really hurt the quality of the game since it was released for free and is doesn't interfere with the existing content at all, but it's not really what I was hoping for.

So 2 electric gems, an explosive gem aaaand....something that increases critical chance/crit damage?

Also, goddamn at 9.1 radius. How many Orbs did you put into it?

Anyway, I like the Arenas. It's nothing revolutionary, but they're fun (but gently caress lava floors). I think the experience you get is persistent even when you die, so it's not a bad way to grind if you feel like it. Plus it encourages me to use the skills/abilities I never did before, I'm relying on vanish and chi-blast much more often.

1 electric 2 explosive 1 embeded crit/crit damage. Also 3 +crit armor orbs. They're all lvl 160 and up thanks to crafting

At this point I'm burning through soloing Insane 7/4-player so I think I'm.... done. Like there's nothing left to do except grind orbs I guess. Unless they add like Insane 20 or something.

This sure is a thing made by Flying Wild Hog, a christmas song:

I read that with a tone of irony and thought they'd somehow managed to make a christmas song actually offensive but you're right, it's just a dick joke with a solid guitar solo.

I'm not really surprised that both Flying Wild Hog and People Can Fly both are keen to dick jokes and their studios are in Warsaw.

Because Christmas is a limited time event.

I'm also pretty reasonably certain they'll just attach the reward to some other new quest afterwards.

Anyone know what the deal is with Blizzard? I can't really tell what the hell Ice Nova is or how it triggers. Does it trigger on every kill, and what does it actually do? Is it basically the same thing as the toxic corpse explosion, but with ice? It seems like there's very little to no graphical representation of an AOE attack occuring.

Fucks sake it's one thing to have a special mission available, it's another thing to have it only become available about halfway through the game, and for a limited time. Just started a new game+, probably not going to get to this in time being busy with the holidays. Any idea yet on when this expires?

That's real strange. It's supposed to start at the sign by the Christmas tree, right? Nothing there for me, and the release notes specifically say it opens up after "Zilla Attacks", when Zilla's men attack Dragon Mountain.

It won't activate if you've got a story mission active. You need to finish a mission then go interact with the sign before accepting another.

I aborted the mission I was on (forget the name but it's the early one where Kamiko tells you to teleport and collect some items), and no go. Maybe they expect you to finish the super early missions or something. I'll finish that one up and try again.

e) finishing that early mission allowed me to go ahead with the Christmas mission. Don't know why abandoning it didn't work, but whatever

You're supposed to be able to equip a new weapon when you find it by holding the Use key, the same way you can in Borderlands, but when I try it the game crashes. Has anyone else run into this?

I had to redo the Krampus boss fight because I tried this with Blizzard.

So, I got this game over the winter sale, and for the most part I enjoyed it. My only problems are that guns feel less and less useful as i go on due to how great melee is, except for the double barreled shotgun and minigun, and the trials were the wettest farts, but at least the Fist of Gozu is a really fun melee weapon. also, how the gently caress am i supposed to get orbs of masamune? I only get seven from trials and unique bosses, yet upgrading a weapon past the second tick takes like 200+ orbs. How many orbs do you get on the hardest difficulty?

On Insanity 2, you get like 37 orbs a mission.
