I saw that, and its been brought up before in the thread...not sure if Gearbox is going to do anything about it or not yet.

i've often bought things from the vending machines, I always check the item of the day, you never know when it might be useful. Also the thing with the shields, its seems stupid that they changed it, I don't know if its a bug but I hope they revert it.
Okay, I have a serious problem with my siren. When farming the warrior one night, I was using a relic that increased hyperion weapon damage along with using the bee and a slag version of the conference call. Now whenever I kill something or even do damage with slag, I get an assload of badass points and a bunch of skins. I know that it sounds really nice, but I can't loot anything because of all the skins, which are all the same ones (maliwan siren skins), and the badass points aren't helping things. I need some advice as this has made my siren unplayable at the moment.
I exited Steam, re-entered and now it's downloading something for BL2. Presumably the DLC. Weird.

You guys playing the PC version by chance?
"Michael Mamaril was previously bugged on consoles. He was set to appear 10% of the time on all systems, but for the Xbox 360 and the PS3 he was appearing 100% of the time. "

Yes, PC here. Saw him early on in my Gaige playthrough.
Same here for the first time. I had a level 50 commando.
Just posted this in a thread on the Gearbox forums with someone else having the same issue. Short version is that level-specific Challenges I had previously completed appear to be disappearing and showing as not completed as I'm completing new DLC challenges. It's not affecting my Badass rank, and it's only happening to level-specific Challenges. I'm on 360, the OP on the Gearbox thread didn't say what platform he was on. Be aware.

The Bee seems to still behave the same way if anybody was wondering. I wonder if the change can't be applied to existing Bee shields.
Oh, PC here then lol. Time to google and see what the fuss is about this guy

what level would you guys recommend using your first golden key?

Nothing, but Randy Pitchford said it was going to be nerfed I imagine that if a change was going to happen it would have been now.

Level 50

hmm, I see that the dlc is available for purchase on steam and I've already have the season pass bought but can't seem to access the dlc
Whenever you need it the most, I was pretty under leveled during TVHM from not doing side quests so I used mine then. Don't bother waiting for lvl.50 at that point you'll be farming for Oranges.
restart steam and that should fix it.

You can still get decent mods and relics at level 50 using the golden key.

you'll get no argument from me.
there is no such thing with any class in this game. go with whatever tree looks appealing. if you get tired of it, re-spec.

Oven the name and ability, I'm led to believe the amp shot is supposed to completely drain your shields not keep them at full.
When you start having serious trouble on PT2, often around level 40-45 or so.
Small update on the 360 DLC issue with old Challenges being erased:
Went through my Challenges and I'd lost 43 area/level-specific Challenges that I am 100% positive I had before (again I was keeping a list, and was only missing 6 and knew which ones). At this point between the general DLC Challenges and the 2 new-level specific Challenges sets I'd opened up in the DLC I had added 14 new Challenges, so my first thought of there being a direct correlation between new Challenges being added taking away from old ones was wrong.
I did notice though that I had 29 of the new vehicle skins unlocked, so it's also possible that somehow every time either a new challenge OR new skin was being unlocked it was erasing an old Challenge. This makes no sense, but this happening makes no sense. But I just got to a new area that added 3 new area-specific Challenges to the game, and I DID lose one previously completed level-specific Challenge. Literally it was there, I went through the load to a new area, immediately checked and it was gone.
So at this point new Challenges being added via the DLC is definitely erasing old level-specific Challenges (albeit not dropping the Badass Rank however). However I can't seem to correlate a 1:1 ratio or exactly what's causing it yet. Will report back.

Nope, that's not how it's supposed to work.
nope, that would fuck over the value of all the other shields when the cap is raised.
Best way to nerf The Bee would be to reduce the shielding it offers or the recharge rate. Or both.

No. Not this at all. The loot that comes out of the box is as good or worse than what you can get by farming Warrior/Terra.
Use the golden keys on your way to 50 to ensure that you always have at least one good item on you. At 50 there's no end to the good loot.
Always been like this. As long as you keep attacking, they'll keep spawning. Stop attacking, and they'll eventually stop attacking you.

Does only one person need to have the DLC? I have the season pass, but my buddy refuses to buy it, if I download it can he play with me and at least do/see the new content? I don't care if he can get the new weapons, I'd just like his cheap ass to be able to play with me. Also, how's the steam release? Not too buggy I hope.

Both need it.
That wouldn't change anything for the boss farming, which is what most people are whining about. You can kill Terramorphous within seconds after he first appears, and the Warrior isn't much better in that regard.

I've played 67 hours and never seen him. My friend has seen him once in 55 hours.
Just watched the trailer for the DLC and the voice for Captain Scarlett is a thumbs down. Can easily fix with that the dialog slider though.
So far, loving the DLC.
Anyhoo, yeah I change my mind on the Mechomancer...Anarchy can be redonk at full stacks (well I have up to 150). Explosive AR with that shit be nasty yo. I just put a point into that tree.
Damn, I kinda want to level her up, but dammit the DLC is so fun. I love putting that point into the skill that allows death trap to stay alive as you kill enemies...so satisfying.

Use them whenever you want. There's no reason to wait until the very end. I'd say it's a good idea to have one to use when you first get to Sanctuary in playthrough 2, though. All your gear from the first playthrough will be totally obsolete by then.

+850% weapon damage?
??
????
OH FUCK YOU.
where did this come from.
meh, I kill Terra/Warrior in seconds with or without it.
It's just a question of if he gets to pop his head out twice or 3 times.
It takes away some of you shield everytime you shoot btw.
