Thanks! Then I should be going with TVHM then. I made one level only through Round 4 & 5 on Loaders so 38 to 50 is a lot of replaying and huge amount of time that I don't want to spend. Sad thing though that I ain't going to get something good with the first bosses. In Boderlands 2 I had level 47 with all DLC in Normal Mode. There, at least I was close.

You have to have at least 1 point in the skill in order to make use of the bonus. For example, if you put one skill point into one of those class mod enhanced skills, you would be 6/5. If you maxed out one of those skills, it would be 10/5 with the mod.
No, they do not count as skill tree progression. Only genuine skill points contribute to the skill tree progression.

Just killed Leviathan and clocked the DLC. Woohoo. That chest room was a bit stingy, though.
Anyway, un question:
How does one get back into that room legally? After I killed him and looted the room, I saved and quit without turning the quest in. Upon reloading, I headed back to the room, but the door wouldn't open. So, I proceeded to turn in the quest at Oasis, traveled back to the lair and now he's not spawning, which I expected. So... 24 hour timer? I thought you could farm him twice before the timer kicked in.
Many thanks, guys.
And for the record: Bee Shield = game-breaker of forever.

I've noticed a significant decrease in performance outside of the DLC levels though...I wonder if that'll be fixed as well.
Oh... whoops.
It's OK though because I have a copy just before the boss fight on a USB. Thanks!

These Super Badasses with their big spike shields are kicking my ass. Did I never find out how to easily kill those?
Cause all I do is action mode with zero and throwing some grenades at him so I can get some shots in. Damn this game is really hard on tvhm.

I think you need to kill Jack for that.Does anyone know how I can do the final boss again? I want Jack's mask.
You could just ask people here and other sites for one.
Trying for a Conference Call....

Has anyone had scaling issues with the Pirate DLC? My girlfriend and I are both level 38 but all enemies are level 30 in the DLC. It's pretty dull...
Are you guys playing it on normal or TVHM mode?

Normal.
Everything on the normal playthru is capped in the 30s

Oh :\ Wish there was a message to warn us about that. How fucking stupid.
Yeah, pretty shitty. The dlc had zero challenge to it and all the weapons I got from it were under levelled.

We only got to chapter two so we'll restart it on TVHM I think!

Ok who knows a reliable way to kill Gee? Fed up of running around his arena getting him to run over the acid fountains and then something goes wrong and one fountain stays up fucking up the rest of the fight. Is there any proper method to doing this? Are you supposed to start unloading on him when his shield is depleted and before the acid wipes you?
He doesn't take any damage from anything but the acid. The acid fountain is actually a game of hot potato, it gets smaller whenever either a player or Gee stands in the center of it. The last one standing on the fountain before it disappears gets hit with the acid DOT. So you could actually just stand right on the center of the fountain and let him get into melee range before running away at the last minute.
It's way easier to do it using Axton or Zero since they have ways to lure him.
Salvador has a pretty easy time of it as well, with his HP boosting and regen skills, and his taunt skill, which instantly draws aggro.
With Salvador you're risking getting hit with the DOT. You might as well die and restart the fight if that happens.
I never had an issue with the DOT and standing in the acid puddles when I was doing Gee with Earv. I had 100k HP and enough HP regen to last me until my Gunzerking came back up.

Thanks for the tips. I'm able to control the acid things while his shield is still up, but the moment it disappears and his health starts taking damage, the acid fumes seem to spread everywhere in the arena. Is there any way to stop that from happening?

I feel your pain man, I've been farming him off and on for about a week. I've spent probably ten hours on him for the Conference Call and have gotten zero orange drops...
Can anyone confirm that the Conference Call can show up in the DLC treasure room?
Tempted to try to farm it instead of Warrior.

I can't speak for a high level Bee, but I'm playing through TVHM with Zer0 and I'm currently lvl 39. My Bee is a lvl 31, and has like a 1500 capacity, but the damage it does is pretty great. At this point I could switch the shield out for anything else in my inventory and have roughly 8000 capacity, but I enjoy the way the game is playing and the low capacity actually requires me to play very differently than I did in the first playthrough.
Also, the tweet you are referring to is weeks old. I think if they were going to nerf it, it would have already happened. (crosses fingers)

Yeah, the tweet is old, but I wasn't sure (as I don't have a Bee)!

It alleviates this games crappy droprates by allowing for much quicker farming.

I have a legendary mod you might like. I'll MSG you when I get on this evening.
Edit: someone dropped an obviously glitched Bee shield the other day. 172000 capacity and 164000 damage. I used it for a bit for kicks, and it was fun, but the allure of it faded quickly.

I don't really think so, though I've been playing the DLC only since then so I don't really know about the rest of the game.
I understand why people are against nerfs, but it seriously reduces the fun of playing online when people are running around one-shotting everything. I play with two friends regularly and one of them is playing as Sal. and he's using the
shotgun and a bee from playthrough 1 and we're level 45 and he still killsteals everything with one or two hits.
Obviously we tell him he's ruining the fun, but he argues that they wouldn't have put it in the game if they didn't want people to use it. Yeah, we could just stop playing with him, and I recognize that it's a choice that he's making, etc. etc. but I still think the point remains that in a game with a multiplayer aspect having certain characters that can VASTLY outdamage the others while sacrificing nothing is pretty lame.
I still love the game, though.

It is a really balanced game. The Bee is the only item that needs toned down a little. I hope they boost the Shield Rate and Drop the Amp Damage a Little bit.

I noticed this as well but the Pirate DLC ran good and looked better than the regular campaign for some reason.

I don't see the problem people have with the Bee, it's a really weak shield capacity wise and most attacks in TVHM takes all of it away

The drop rate is godawful. The Bee shield at least allows us to cycle through the boss fights quickly. Having to kill something 50+ times to even hope to get what you want isn't something I'm going to do without the ability to simply run up and blow its head off.
From that standpoint I don't see any reason at all to nerf a shield that is mostly useful just for that purpose. Bee shield isn't so hot on regular content since you usually are facing enough enemies that your shield goes down and stays down.
I carry another shield for actually playing the game.
I'm at work is there any way for me to use the 360 code on a website so I can claim a key?
Nope! Not unless you want to go through the embarrassment of having someone at your house enter it for you.
My girlfriend would kill me if I asked her to do it, but I'm tempted anyway. At level 43 in TVHM playing alone with old ass weapons, I could use a few purples right now. My lvl 30 Conference Call stopped being effective ages ago and yet I can't put it down.
