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

[quote name='Brother Daz']Not working anymore. Can't believe how long that one lasted.[/QUOTE]
I'm just happy I got at least one of those Sunday codes, I missed out on the first three. I need to learn to not, you know, go out and do stuff on the weekend. :lol:

Yeah, the hell's wrong with you? Weekends are for sun-deprivation!

Cashed in on my head trading to reduce my chances of coming across that graveyard.sav infection. Killed myself online a few times to make sure I didn't have it. Hope they address that soon. Pretty shitty way to lose a character.

Bout to beat TVHM too. Need to get that level 50 Law & Order set now and my Zer0's good!
 
Yeah, I should be good. Pretty sure the couple friends I play with don't play with randoms. Annoying that the cloud backups get over written though. Guess I should back up to a memory stick just to be safe.

Yeah, that's what I did. I actually play from the cloud since I bounce between consoles a bunch, but memory sticks seem to be a safe haven.
 
I think it's kind of a shame if things like this prevent people from playing Borderlands online with randoms. For whatever reason (probably largely because it's cooperative, not competitive) the series attracts a great community and almost without exception the randoms I've played with in B1 and B2 have been really cool, friendly people.
 
If anybody is down to Flesh Stick Power Level on TVHM hit me up. I'm trying to grind my Gaige through her last four levels to 50 so I can blaze through the main story. She'll definitely be my only 50 as even with the Bee TVHM is trying my patience more than anything else. Too campy, too tedious, too god damn boring.

I've got the Doctor's Orders mission open if you need Jimmy Jenkins and should you need help with anything I'm more than willing. I just want to finish this so I can start farming for a new Bee and maybe get a god damn Conference Call this time so I can FINALLY kill Terra.
 
Today's update:

-Fixed player first-person arms appearing too far up or down the screen when in horizontal/vertical split mode.
-Fixed players losing ammo when reloading a savegame with max ammo and a stockpile relic equipped.
-Fixed the vendor UI sometimes showing a count of 1 less item in the player's backpack than is actually there.

-Allowed players to trade with each other when at maximum backpack capacity if they're trading the same number of items with each other.
-Fixed clients sometimes losing access to fast travel stations unlocked during co-op progression.

I can give you this stuff if you want it.
Daz was nice enough to hook up most everyone in this thread.

I had a bunch of requests over the weekend that I accepted. Which one is your gamertag?
 
The one under his avatar ;).

Holy shit just fought hyperius is there some trick to hurting him? He took no damage from conference call with bee on I even aimed for his minions and did no damage.

lol yeah I see it now that I'm on my pc, cant see gamertags on my iphone. From what I've read about Hyperius, its pretty much impossible to beat him solo, and still a PITA to fight with four players. Any of my friends that have beat him have used the siren invincibility glitch.Also I've heard the baby maker legendary SMG helps out a lot with that fight. I'll be farming for it today so hopefully I can get it to drop.

ink, I dont think I got a FR request from you. I dont see you on my list anywhere.
 
I have a Baby Maker SMG, I think it's only around level 28 or so though. I thought the only thing special about it was that it spawns copies of itself when you toss it to reload. Other than that I don't think its damage output is anything special compared to a Bitch or Hellfire or any other nice SMG of comparable level. Maybe I'm missing something though.

And I used the Siren invincibility glitch to beat Hyperius and Gee too. I wonder if that still works after today's update.
 
I guess the trick with the baby maker is to shot one round and use the reload explosion to dead massive damage to Hyperius (since it'll explode twice per reload). Having four players doing that with the bee shield equiped should deal crazy damage to him. IDK though since I've havent tried it out for myself.

I'm down. I only started TVHM with my siren but if you still want to, I'm definitely game for it. I'll shoot you a FR.
 
Huge thanks to GUNNM for his generosity. I'm glad I don't have to waste years of life trying to get a god damn Conference Call. I think I'm going to keep Flesh Stick and Jimmy Jenkins related quests permanently open on my Gaige so if anyone needs them just ask.

I'm going to start PVing as soon as Hydro is ready so just send me a message if you want to get in on it.

How does the Flesh Stick method work, exactly? I've seen it mentioned, but never looked too far into it. You just kill him and keep running back to Tina? Or have someone stationed back there to trigger it, I guess?

I know you can kill Flesh Stick (which fails the mission) and score XP, then accept it again. I guess this is a good way to increase XP but I don't know first hand how much you get or if it continues to be a good idea at high levels or not.

My son woke up from his nap early so my free play time just vanished. Sorry. I should be on later if you want to play.
 
Best bet with Flesh Stick is if you have at least two players and the host is on play through 2.5. If you do it that way, you'll get at least 6000 xp per kill.
 
[quote name='ZForce915']Does playthrough 2 start after the final battle in the game? Will I have a chance to go back and complete all my side missions?[/QUOTE]
Yes and yes. You can switch between your Normal Mode and True Vault Hunter Mode playthroughs at any time. The difference between the two modes is quest completion status and enemy level. Everything about your character carries over between the two modes.

Thanks. That is a really smart way to do that.
 
Yeah I skipped pretty much every side quest in PT2 and just blazed through the main quest. Now I'm running through all the side quests in PT2.5, it's nice all the mission rewards scale to lvl50.

Yeah, I didn't do my homework and didn't realize that was the way to get quest items to scale to 50. Missed out on getting the Law that way, but I can at least get my Order shield at 50 for now. Plenty of characters to do it with.
 
So this corrupt save data glitch only happens if you played co-op before right? I won't dare play co-op even local for a while so I should be fine.

Although I did lose my Soldier save data for borderlands 1.
I beat the game and some how most of my saves on hdd were wiped. I had a backupfor bl about 2/3 through the game so rebeat that and then played all the dlc. When I tried to play during this past summer with other characters, I noticed my soldier save was gone :bomb:. A low level sniper (~3) save was still there...


I really think BL2 should have come out THIS month. So many glitches/bugs as well as some poor game design changes (inventory space, UI, tutorial dialog popups, vehicle controls, etc). The story and writing were much better but the actual gameplay mechanics didn't feel as fluid.
 
The glitch only happens if you're playing with someone who has modded their save and you die when in fight for your life mode. You'll know your save is corrupt when you aren't able to respawn and if by some chance you don't trigger a quick save dashboard if not you're SOL.
But it also seems you're sol either way because eventually you will die you've probably already hit a quicksave and said glitch is already on your profile from my understanding.

I just found out about the law & order combo a few days ago. Those are two missions I didn't skip sadly. Anyone want to dupe a lvl 50 L&O combo for me? Lol

I know I can still farm the law from the sheriff boss but I think the order shield is only available through the quest right?
 
I haven't done any side missions on my true vault hunter yet I'll do it later.
A good relic piece I've found from pirate dlc also from a side mission is getting health when you kill seems better than 5% better loot.

A guy modded his on the pc to have 100% find rares and all it did was take all the white guns out of the game and replace them with greens. There were no changes in blues, purples or oranges dropping any more frequently. I stopped using mine after reading that, actually it seems like after I took it off my rare drops increased.

Thanks for the confirmation Ian

Yeah, since reading that I just roll with my 4.5% xp bonus. Has anyone found any with a higher percentage than that?
 
Hey guys is there a guide somewhere on how to do the duping weapons thing? I'm halfway through my first playthrough I should be able to dupe in that playthrough right?

Duping is easy and can be done anytime. You need two people to do it (can't be done split screen). The person receiving the items needs to host. Both of you need to meet up away from a save tower. The person doing the duping needs to drop the items to the ground and quit straight out to the dash( bypassing the save). The second player needs to just stand completely still until the first player is completely out of the game. Once they're all the way out, then pick up all the items. That's it

Wow that is very easy! Thanks Daz for the info on this. Much appreciated!

EDIT: One other question: the whole "farming" bosses for special drops and whatnot. Do you just go where they are and fight them and then after you beat them do youy exit the game to get them to respawn or would exiting the area and coming back in work to respawn them?
 
Wait - I dupe split screen with a second profile - it's not an xbox live paid profile just a normal profile - and I use that profile as my mule and use it for duping to give to other characters on my main profile. Has it changed where you can't dupe like that anymore? I haven't duped anything in a week or two.

*edit* but just to add - I dupe the way you describe when I'm online with my nephew.
 
Oh I didn't know you could do it SS. Did it work that with on the first game? I always thought you couldn't dupe in SS.

If the ever do patch the duping, it can easily be bypassed by using a USB drive and using a save off of it. That's how I used to dupe items in sacred 2. Btw, I have a ton of modded items and pc only swords (modded into the Xbox game) for that game (if anyone is interested).

Still working as of a few mins ago.

In BL1, both host and guest could dupe when online.

If guest was giving the item, guest would drop item and dashboard.

If host was giving the item, host would drop item, guest would pick it up and run to save pole (making sure the save symbol appeared), return to host, drop item, and dashboard.

Have tried duping as guest in BL2 and it works. Haven't tried as host yet.

Wait, what's the deal with this? I just finished that mission last night. I had no idea you had to keep it open for some reason.
 
I think you just have a higher chance of him spawning during that mission. This is the first I've heard if it also. That's actually the mission I was doing when he spawned for me.

I don't remember if it worked in one, but I've been duping in split screen as well.
 
One From Zero appears to have a good explanation about it above though I didn't ever dupe anything in 1 so I don't know about it but in 2 just have a second profile and I join my first profile split screen and do it just like I would online. Also - thanks for letting us know the code still works One From Zero! I haven't been on as much here in the past few days so I missed several of the weekend code drops. Still sitting at 14 keys though!

I also started using an old usb drive for backup just now - after reading somebody here post that cloud gets overwritten. I run my saves from my hard drive. I have a 4gb slim that I put a 250gb drive in - would saving to that 4gb be basically like saving to a usb drive - anybody know? It would seem like it would.

Killing Jenkins is tied to the Challenge Accepted achievement. The only problem is the damn robot is a bitch to find because it can spawn in any chest/container you open. For some strange reason both the main story Wildlife Exploitation mission and Doctors Orders mission dramatically increases the odds of it spawning during them. Luckily I've had it spawn in the Reserve and in a chest right outside of Hunter Hellquest's radio station. Both spots seem like favored spawn points for it.

Anyway... during my xp boosting BUNKER runs I managed to snag two Lvl. 46 versions of the Bitch SMG (regular and corrosive). Let me know if you guys are interested and I'll try to dupe them as I'm about to take a break to watch Dexter and Homeland soon.
