Borderlands 2 - Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep - 6/25 - 800 pts.

Trying to get a Chubby and Jenkins to spawn is like pulling teeth. Who thought these were good ideas? Honestly? Complete Random Luck only obtainable through grinding? This is a horrible idea. It's only beaten by the fact that they do it twice for completely opposite yet similar things. Completely bullshit.

Also, my 2036x16 Explosive Shotgun is sort of broken. Took down
Bloodwing
in one clip (3 shots) on TVHM.

For those of you that may have too many weapons that you have out leveled, maybe we can start up a recycle program so these sweet weapons and mods don't get sold to the vendor. [highlight]Some poor little level 20 or so could utilize them. Imagine the smile on their face![/highlight] Haha.[/QUOTE]

Like me! I play this game a lot but am still only at level 23. I redeemed one of my keys at 20 and I got a pretty awesome purple slag-effect SMG that takes things down 4x faster than any other weapon I have.

As for the slots, I thought the Marcus one wasn't possible since it just never, ever happens (and I'd never seen anyone else mention it till today). I would say the same for the Borderlands symbols but I saw my son get it once. I did get the triple eridium stack once, though. So, yeah. No bells either. And it seems like there is one more I've never seen.

Between my son and I we've done 1000's of slot machine runs and we've gotten 1 Borderlands (orange weapon), 1 triple stack of eridium, and no bells or Marcus.

We did just discover the Minecraft cave tonight, though. He is a big Minecraft player so he wants the two mods (body and head). We got the shirt for my Gunzerker and the head for neither of us (Commando) so I guess we have to quit/reload to get the Badass Creeper to respawn until we get all the gear.
 
The Minecraft shotgun is amazing too.

Playing the slots doesn't seem worth it, there's something like a 1/1000 chance to get the Vault symbols and an orange weapon prize, and the Eridium is nice for a while but I've already run out of things to purchase from Crazy Earl.
 
Lol I got a few sweet weapons from the slots but I don't remember the symbols that lined up haha.

My favorite weapon though is an orange shotgun I got, only level 11 though, that says Flak the World and yeah shoots out like flak gun. Takes down the big guys and is great crowd control. Even it being lvl 11 I was using that for a long time.
 
Shift code went up about 20 minutes ago and it's active for two hours.

Code actually goes live at 1pm CDT

Just noticed he tweeted that code is good for EU only. US will get a code later. Sorry about that.

Never mind I'm high, it's for everyone. Just not live yet like trakan said.
 
Got it - thanks for posting!

My slot machine stats will be coming today or tomorrow - I'm gonna probably stop around 2k or 2500 pulls. It definitely slows you down when you are having to keep records on every pull!

Also - don't think this is spoiler but let me know and I can tag it if necessary - ran in to the Fink's round 5 wave 3/5 glitch last night with friends. Very frustrating as we didn't know about it so we sorta fiddled around for a bit thinking more enemies might come and they never did...
 
tl;dr and full disclosure
I started three days ago just casually gambling the slots and keeping this record throughout the day whenever I had a chance to sit and play (I would play missions/multiplayer at night usually.)

I am aware that the odds are against you when gambling. I know many probably think running the slots in BL2 is a waste of time. For me, I had the chance to either gamble on and off throughout the day in BL2 or not play it at all. I chose to gamble.

I used the infinite money glitch to get my money. I know some disagree with this and consider it cheating. For me, it extends my enjoyment of the game. Long after beating BL1 and all the dlc I enjoyed "farmory" runs and using the hole in the floor glitch to be able to browse all the chests in the armory at my leisure. This glitch extended my enjoyment of the first game but some considered it a cheat. For me BL is a marathon - not a sprint.

Some basic info about my gambling scenario. I started with a lvl 19 siren (now lvl 21) and a lvl 4 assassin (the mule and the one I actually played the machines with) on two separate profiles on my xbox playing in split screen mode. I played all these pulls at the two machines at Moxxxi's in Sanctuary. The slots were $369 per pull.

Here are the stats from my gambling over the past three days arranged from greatest to least chance.

Total Spins - 2425

White Gun - 520 - 21.44%
Nothing - 497 - 20.49%
1 Money Pile - 460 - 18.96%
Green Gun - 366 - 15.09%
Grenade - 188 - 7.75%
Skin - 126 - 5.19%
2 Money Piles - 111 - 4.57%
1 Eridium Bar - 56 - 2.30%
3 Money Piles - 37 - 1.52%
Blue Gun - 34 - 1.40%
2 Eridium Bars - 20 - 0.82%
3 Eridium Bars - 6 - 0.24%
Purple Gun - 3 - 0.12%
Orange Gun - 1 - 0.04%
3 Bells - Good Luck!

Edit: I think they're good until 9pm eastern.
 
Disappointing most of the online players seem to be using Zero, as he's the least team-orientated character. Not surprising though, as it hits all of the annoying young gamer points for maximum 12 year old dopamine release. A team of 4 sirens seems like it would be ridiculous, but too bad sirens are few and far between online.
 
I'm still only at level 12, but I haven't done any co op yet. I had 8 golden keys so I decided to use one...it gave me two shields:( I'm going to try holding off on using the next one until level 20 ish.

Personally I picked him because he seemed the most different from characters I played in the first game. Definitely had to adjust my play style but having a lot of fun. I really wanted to play as Gaige but I guess I can for a second play through.
 
Whoa... I found a level 34 Legendary Siren class mod in a Sanctuary vending machine. +3 to five different skills, plus huge bonuses to cooldown rate, gun damage, and movement speed. Pretty sweet.
 
[quote name='gameupboy84']I wanna get this game but I have nobody to play co-op with since I'm always so busy.[/QUOTE]

I think I've been level 25 for like a week and a half.

You can always ask CAGs to join with you.
 
I went and faced the final boss again because I'm level 49. Much easier than before. What was once 20 minutes of shooting with 3 others became 2 minutes of shotgun blasts. Still didn't get jack off of him though.
 
I decided to just try a game of slots while I was at Sanctuary and second spin I got 3 legs and a sweet as blue weapon. I'd imagine that was related to how much tips I gave Moxxi, sweet legs lol.
 
Got my first actual legendary drop last night after killing laney white a few times. The other two legendaries I have both came from slot machines. Its a pretty nice pistol, I can post the stats later if anyone is interested it them. So after 90 hours between my four characters, I've had one legendary drop. I might add that 35 of those hours have been 4 player co-op, with all of us running the +5% rare drop relics.
 
So I picked up this game after much debate and I'm glad I did. I'm playing solo with the Gunzerker and just reach lvl 13 last night. I'm having so much fun. I had the first one and never could get into the RPG element, or the story. Since then I've come to understand how the RPG element works and this story line seems to be a lot more engaging to me than the first BL.

Anyway, love the game. Having a blast!

That just sounds like bad luck man, I had 3 legendary drops in the first ~50 hours or so, all on my solo Axton without farming and I ditched the %5 rare loot relic in favor of one for cool down time before any of my legendary drops. 1 launcher from King Mong, 1 sniper from one of the guys in the three way stand off in front of the church, 1 shield from the final boss.

I play on PS3 (I follow this thread too since it's more active), but it can't be that different. Maybe your co-op partners picked up one or two and you didn't know it?
 
We've played who knows how many hours, and we've only seen one legendary drop too. And this is after farming Bee Shield for 2 hours last night (nothing yet).
 
Anyone else here waiting on the patch to fix the "Do No Harm" mission glitch? I can't advance and would rather not start over. Gearbox is aware of it and supposedly a fix is on the way, but for me it can't happen soon enough. I was quite obsessed with what what I was doing up to that point!
 
[quote name='Jobbercho']I got tired of waiting so I made another character, got to that point in the game with it, then did the quest with my main character in splitscreen. Sucked, but I hated leaving the mission unfinished.[/QUOTE]

I wasn't sure if splitscreen would work, so I guess I may do that. If I just do the story missions up to that point I guess it wouldn't take too terribly long to get there.

Meh - I get 3 legs all the time on the slots. I have yet to pull a purple weapon (let alone a legendary) from the slots though.

I don't think I've gotten to this mission yet - what level is it at? And what's the glitch?

[quote name='Brother Daz']Just found the legendary minecraft sniper rifle. Dropped from a badass creeper.[/QUOTE]

Damn, if I tell my son this exists, we'll have to keep playing until he gets it ;).

I got a legendary shield from one of the story mission rewards very, very early on in the game (like level 10-13 or so). I guess I was just super-lucky. But I don't even use that any more.

Oh, and I killed a Chubby Varkid last night. I guess that popped an achievement and all sorts of weapons and eridum spewed out of him but nothing too great (I think maybe one purple weapon but it was yet another SMG and I got 2 of those from my golden key use the other day).

I think the Firehawk quest only gives a legendary shield.
 
[quote name='elessar123']I think the Firehawk quest only gives a legendary shield.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that one - but then why are people saying they haven't seen any if everyone gets that? And I don't think my son got a Legendary from that mission but I'll check.
 
I've been playing solo as the commando. I think I am around level 25 or so. I have an awesome fire machine gun that is shiny. The 'chubby' spawned pretty early in my game. I also killed a 'one armed bandit, but I played a few times and didn't win anything worthwhile. I also have some machine gun that costs 12,000 to buy back, but I don't understand why it is good.

And like the first game, I got to of the exact same gun, same stats, level requirements, and rarity and they sell for 2 different prices.
 
So I am level 23 and I only get 1-2 exp when I kill bandits (even taskmasters and some of the more powerful units). I also am using a relic that gives 4.6% more exp. WTF? All the guns in the loot chest are always green and white even in newer areas like where the little girl lives.

I"m sleep deprived...hopefully that made sense.
 
Just a heads up, there will be shift codes today and tomorrow. From the shift twitter:

@GearboxSoftware: Specifically, we'll be posting codes on 10/5 at 6PM and 11PM CT and on 10/6 at 5AM, 11AM and 3PM CT.
 
Oh so orange is a legendary drop? I got one for grenades it does 6000 dmg and breaks up into 10 grenades. Really has helped me in my true vault hunter run

Awesome, we are going to be swimming in keys. I'm still waiting to get to level 50 to use any of mine.
 
Cool I totally forgot the color coordination I always thought purple was the highest. Thanks

I'm saving all my keys for gaige ^__^
