Its much easier than the first game.
Yeah, that's a problem...I love to snipe. The collapse in accuracy is making me want to spec out of any additional stacks of anarchy. I mean, I literally can't hit the side of a barn if its real high, even when I'm near something with a shotty.

Was put up almost an hour ago on Randy Pitchford's twitter. Not sure how many redemptions are left so get to it.

Do you have aim assist on?
No problem. Noticed you had been fighting the guy for a while so thought I would lend a hand. Hate that wave attack he does that wrecks your shield and health.
It should reset if you do it on normal then wait till 50 and do it on TVHM, so you could do that! I think the loot might be a nice boost to your TVHM start, but I dunno.
Awesome, thanks!

I can't punch through this apathy wall. I want to play, then I boot it up and am like, "nope".

Burned out?
Are you playing co-op? I played through 1-50 solo but the rest of my characters have been mainly co-op. Going to go through Scarlett with my Axton solo though, and farming has been mostly solo too.

Damn missed all those keys besides the last one

Kinda. Level 17 mechro and just struggling to get motivated to finish playthrough 1 to get to TVHM.
I've taken a bit over a week off but still feel the same way as I did when I stopped then. I was chugging along just fine before.
I would play co-op, but none of my friends are near my level. But no, virtually all solo.
Are you on PC? I could play with you :3

likewise.
i got two bees, level 48 and 50 in 20 tries or less. got the slayer of terra for gunzerker and siren on the first try. BUT NO CC. Me and my buddy farmed for about 50 tries...

As far as rare stuff goes, I got the Bee without even trying. It was my second time killing that enemy, and I was just going for the challenge. But it's only a level 27 requirement and the stats are weak compared to the ones I've seen online. I don't plan on ever using the Bee, anyway. And I finally ran into Donkey Mong after about an hour. Drove through, turned around, went back and there he was. Cut his tie and everything. Then he respawned again a second time not too long after that. Still waiting for Jenkins to show up, though.

Hmm...
Gaige, lvl 45.
1st Leviathan kill = zero oranges in treasure room. Not even one purple. I turn the game off disgusted by this "fabled lost treasure of the sand".
I hear something about this easy farming method.
I redo the final DLC quest (which you can do only once?).
About 10 farming runs = 4 oranges.
Me = yay!
I decide I want lvl 50 oranges.
I blitz through the main DLC campaign with a 50 lvl character and kill the Leviathan.
About 15 farming runs later = zero oranges.
I find this a bit suspicious, compared to my previous experience with Gaige, so I re-do the final mission.
3 farming runs after redoing the final mission = 2 oranges!
Coincidence? Or are drop rates better on the re-run of the final mission? It would be kindda logical too, since we're not going to bother with Leviathan again because he has a charming personality.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Just went and farmed a bunch of new gear to use in the stupid arena where Im stuck on the last round.
Those fuckers are so dead now, with the new stuff I found.

I'd play with you but I work all weekend
My Mechromancer is in the place where you first meet

I got zero oranges both times.

And I agree with you 100%. Its a stupid system that was not well thought out. One of those things that sounds fantastic on paper but when put to practice all it winds up doing is pissing people off in the long run.
Id be curious what the %age of those who get keys vs the actual consumer base is.
Good Idea Fairy was all over this one I say.

After the Pirate DLC patch my once perfect 50-60FPS now goes as low as 15 when fighting and 30 when just walking around. Is there a fix for this yet?
Even worse I was actually home earlier when keys were given and shift was down.
PhsX issue turn it to low

They actually go out of their way to give out keys at different times of the day. You have to remember they have a global audience. They can't tailor these keys to only be available when it's convenient for you in your part of the world. Besides, these keys are just a fun bonus that aren't actually required at all. They gave out a couple of keys today... I missed one because I was asleep. Big deal. There will be more later.

GBX_AdamF said they were looking into the issue several pages back.
Happens to me too. Why do all games with PhysX have performance issues? I even have a dedicated 460.
I hope Gearbox decides to take their time and devote more resources to playtesting (gameplay balance and technical stability) before rushing out the Torgue DLC. Hopefully that ship hasn't sailed already, and there's still time to go back see if there are some things that could be improved in DLC #2, based on the feedback from DLC #1.
Luckily, the massive slowdowns only affect me when I'm in Washburne.
I finally got all of the gear needed to solo Hyperius as soon as he aggros as Axton, but after seeing what the Seraph vendor sells -- not even worth the effort to go back through Washburne each time to do it.

Are people also experincing hard locks after the latest patch? I get totally locked out of the game after ten minutes or so, and have to task manage my way out of it.

Once you complete TVHM mode once, they should allow you to start all subsequent playthroughs in TVHM. Trying to get my Mechro through 1-30 is an absolute bore.

Damnit I tried the codes from last night and they were all gone, now exactly as I'm leaving for work, more codes! Bastards. My only saving grace is that they could do codes tonight and on Sunday, and that's when I will make my move.
Side point: I went into lynchwood and ended up finding a bunch of guns that were green or blue and I was getting depressed, but after fighting
I picked up a nice automatic purple pistol and a wicked purple sniper rifle that fires 6 shots in a burst fire. I then went and killed
who was 3 levels above me with said sniper rifle and some liberal use of mirvs and got a wicked purple smg that replaces all of my elemental weapons I used to need.
I have so many good guns, I really need to make a second character to start offloading old hardware onto.

Wouldnt you miss out on a lot of exp by not doing the sidequests?
thats my question asked the other way around :3

You don't need a lot of exp from sidequests in TVHM unless your goal is to be 2-3 levels above what is required of the story quest you're on. I was pretty much going up a full level with each story mission.

so when you sign up for SHIFT you get a key right away (when you put your shift info into your BL2 settings), but does it randomly give you keys later on?
that was what the SHIFT "description" page alluded to when i was signing up...

Randy Pitchford and the Gearbox twitter accounts give out codes for keys every now and then. No other way to get them, unless you get the Mechromancer DLC. That comes with everything in the preorder bundle and includes another key.
