Borderlands 2

bluemoon_19
Well today I finally got an orange relic and now my character can be fully kitted out with orange lol. The relic was the blood of terramorphous and gives 0.5% health regen.

Nice! Is that a Maggie in slot 4? I really want one, I loved the Masher revolvers in the first game. And isn't 0.5% health regen per second pretty weak for an orange relic?
 
Yep it sure is a Maggie and it is pretty awesome. Yes the 0.5% regen is pretty weak for orange but my commando has 2% health regen when shields are full so I suppose this helps a bit.

Nice, I can't wait to find one for myself.

Tonight was quite successful, I went from lv 47.5 to 50 with Maya, finished TVH for the fourth time and collected a few level 50 uniques including the Flame of the Firehawk, Sloth, Morningstar, Law, Order, Scorpio and Deadly Bloom. I took a load of screenshots of some bits and pieces which are in my Steam screenshot library now.

I think I'll continue by starting a new Axton so I don't have to wait for my friend to be ready to co-op (he rarely plays) as we're trying to keep a pair of characters perfectly in sync for co-op games. Maya is now 'over-encumbered' with nine quest reward weapons overfilling her inventory and her bank is full as well, so it would be best to make a new character so I can use their bank to make room for new stuff.

I also found an Impaler, I so nearly missed it as the colour was hidden by the final boss' head, and I couldn't actually grab it by just looking at it, I had to stand on his head and crouch whilst looking straight down so I could pick it up. I haven't used it yet but it sounds useful.
 
I am still waiting for my infinity...Well since I haven't played over the weekend and yesterday, now I got a 24 inch TV connected to the PC. due to monitor failed.
 
Man, Axton is slow progress. My friend who I'm co-opping with searches every area with a fine tooth comb for every single $20 bundle and sniper rifle ammo pack, he also explores areas that we both know we'll be coming to again in a future quest and does one quest at a time so we end up visiting the same places three or four times, instead of just saving up things to do at that place and doing them all at once. Kind of annoying and boring but what can I do? Tonight we went from 16 to 20, bearing in mind that we got to level 15 on the second night we played and that was the week after the game came out. I think we've only actually played four times now. Maybe I'll make another Axton and race through as quickly as possible, I'm finding his skills to be the dullest so far. Ranger: +1% to a few different stats per level, what's the point? Who is going to notice +5% health? +5% magazine size won't even do anything to some weapons! Ah well.
 
I got everything but what I want... Still looking for my infinity and been farming the warrior a bit and no CC.

If you are farming the Warrior and not getting what you want well the Treasure room has a greater chance than the warrior...Guess I am going back to the room

Farmed the "room" 20 times got 2 orange in 1 run Only problem was their not the one(s) I wanted.

New Info for BL2.

Next DLC will be by end of Year and another "playable" character would be released soon after. DLC Confirmed

Maybe the 27th for DLC right after Black friday and Cyber Monday if it's good?

Sorry for double post just wanted to get the info out.
 
I thought it might come in December, that's great news. I STILL haven't finished the previous DLC though, since finishing the game with Maya I've been spending the small amount of time I've been able to play managing all my inventories, I think I need to get a spreadsheet going because it's now impossible to keep track of who's holding what!

Could be worse. It could be you with all those orange in your inventory.. :P
 
Just finished an awesome session with total strangers lol, but I'm enjoying it much, if anyone is interested for some co-op on the ps3 tell me
 
I'll play with you. If I don't stream tonight, I'll probably be on all night. Maybe Bluemoon can join in as well.

It could be even worse, you can be like me. Only one character and all Orange and pink.

I don't have many oranges (maybe something like 10?) but I've got loads of purple and E-tech stuff I want to keep, the hard part though is just keeping track of it all. At least with one character it's relatively easy to keep stock... That said, if you're struggling with space issues I promise you you won't regret starting a bank character, that is until you have five of them all packed to the brim with stuff you want to hold on to!

Ok, I know there's a huge time difference between us but I'll add you and catch you when you're on

You don't have the Nothing rhymes with orange challenge done?
I finished that one up yesterday still waiting for my infinity...

I'm on 11/15 with Zer0, much less with the other four, I don't think I'm even on level 5 with anyone else actually! If I'd only ever used Zer0 I would have finished it by now though. You know which challenges really, really suck? Sky Rockets In Flight (level 3 is 400 kills, the required range is pretty far and I've yet to find a launcher with good accuracy, rocket speed and predictable drop...) and I'm Back! Shocked? (I've had absolutely no second winds from shock DOT as Zer0). There are one or two others I have no progress in, namely the one for trading because trading was broken last time I tried and it wouldn't let me actually click 'trade' and... Actually, that might be it. Oh and another one which sucks; the optional objectives one. I just managed to get 71/100 but there's no way I'll get the remaining 29 with the quests I've got left to do and I think it'll be tricky to finish, or it'll at least take some luck with finding an online game to join.


Edit: Wow, I used to be a Mac gamer (many years ago (3)), back then it used to take at least six months for a Mac port to appear, if the game in question was one of the three that got ported that year, so this is nice for Mac users: http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/11/09/g...el=ref&ns_source=steam&ns_linkname=0&ns_fee=0

I have been having trouble finding the Bee Shield, would love to trade but only problem is i have crap items. Was wondering tho has anyone ever thought about cross game trading? Like say i would trade set number of matte paints in Gt5 for a duped lv:50 Bee sheild, just a idea tho.

the bee shield is from hunter hellquist, If you have the one of the side missions where you have to kill him is a good place to find him. I found mine after a quick handfull of runs. Easiest way to kill him I found is this.

1. Shock Shotgun
2. Powerfull fire weapon
3. Repeat
4. ?????
5. Profit.

I can quick see if I can get another one tomorrow morning quick before I have other things that I have to do.
 
I found mine on my fourth try, but it was only lv48. I've tried since but after six goes I just gave up... I've found my method (with Zer0) is to use the shock automatic sniper I've got to zap his shield in three hits then swap to my Law and melee him to death. Usually takes about three hits if I remember correctly.

Are you on the PC, PS3 or 360? I'd give you my lv48 if I find a 50, if you're on PC that is.

Ahh dam that would be awesome as, but alas i am on PS3. I do not have the funds to upgrade my PC as of yet, I tried numerous times to find the Bee but just no luck at all...my game must hate me lol

Thanks TJ i would appreciate that :)
 
Oh my god. I just did 996k with my Sniper rifle. God all these orange weapons are awesome. The Sniper I posted here fires like 6 rounds at a time, corrosive, and only counts as one bullet.

I am also playing this game on the PS3. Besides being a frustrating ordeal because of the low drop rate percentage, the other problem with farming a Level 52 Hunter Hellquist for The Bee Shield is that he drops Level 48-Level 50 versions of it. I have been farming him off and on for a very long time trying to get a shield similar to the one that jc18137 has.

I have only found a Level 50 Blast Proof the Bee, which does not have very good amp damage, but no other elemental shields. I now have a lot of non-elemental Level 50 Bee Shields, and the stats vary greatly between them.

I will be glad to give you a good Level 50 Bee Shield if you can guide me through the procedure to meet online in this game. My PSN ID is Riata, and I expect to be able to play this game again tonight after 7:00 pm CST. If you are interested, either reply to this post, or send me a PM. Please note that I will not be back at my house to check my computer until about 6:30 PM today.
 
Well I only play Saturdays :lol:

My bee with my infinity is fun vs loaders. Can kill a badass constructor in a normal fight for my life time. I'm pretty good at farming. If I find another one, I will give it to you.
 
Well this is going to hurt a lot of people now..Patch 1.2 is out on PC.

Balance adjustments to “The Bee”
  • Increased Recharge Delay
  • Significantly increased Recharge Rate
  • Reduced Amplify damage
  • Amplify damage from Amplify Shields is now divided among all projectiles fired from a single shot.

I would have preferred less delay than increased rate, but those last two did need fixing to be fair. I wonder if they'll ever fix Zer0's Terramorphous mod to swap the Gunzerker skill for one he actually uses...?

But yeah, this nerf. I'm not sure it'll change my game all that much. I prefer a Law and Order when I'm using Zer0, and I'm not sure if the division part of the nerf will affect Mongol launchers or not but I prefer the Mongol to the CC when the target is far away, that way you get more time for the rocket to spawn more sub-rockets (rockettes?). Also it looks far prettier than the CC's bizarre spread thing. But yeah, a lot of people will be put out by this, maybe it'll encourage people to use other things though.

Im guessing you haven't found a skullmasher sniper yet.

I was doing a min of 200K per shot up to 600K with the increase. Now I barely get up to 500K max. I

Here is another thing that I was reading on the forums, You don't have to use the Bee. Since now they are really pushing for Co-op play since the bee was more of a savior for Solo players.
As I read the rest "the Bee" was nerfed for online/multiplayer than solo.

To edit: The risk is more than the reward now where people have went to modding and/or BL1

The bee has saved me countless times. This is going to make me less over powered :(

Btw, Jack's lost journals glitched on me. So I can't get #5.
 
Here is what a review said about the nerf Examiner
This is the part that got me kinda angry
This lead many to vocally sound out their belief that the item was overpowered and destroyed the supposed complexity that boss fights were meant to carry in the game. On the other hand, proponents of the shield argued that it allowed them to actually play the game with just themselves or one other player. After all, they felt that “Borderlands 2” was a game that was meant to be playable for one to four players, not a game that absolutely required one to play with a full group of people if they desired to even think about doing the game’s later content.

So the nerf is pushing the "solo" players to play with others.

Edit: Just wondering if anyone found the secret chest in the treasure room?
