So many games not enough time... Really wanting to play the new difficulty and level up before they nerf the good farming spots, but Ive been trying to clear some of my backlog. Finally finished Radiant Historia, the new Tomb Raider, and close to finishing Bioshock Infinite. Still havent finished the dlc for Dark Souls, so it is going to be a tough choosing between playing BL2 or Dark Souls. Both series are in my top 5 for new ips this generation.
Yes it does.
Cool, thanks.

Yeah. I immediately respecced and have been doing this so far. Its a decent way to keep ammo reserves high, but I've got a shock plasma caster which is doing most of the leg work right now. I'm not sure if I'll make it all the way to 61, but we shall see
It won't. It will fail most noticeably from lvl 57 onwards, or when you hit the caustic caverns and fight the crystalisks. I had a hard time lvling from 57 onwards with the lvl 50 gear.
My friend told me the drop rate appears to be dramatically increased in UVHM, he got one after his 2nd Dr Mercy kill.
You really should consider getting the room early, the Leviathan is impossibly difficult without proper high levelled gear. Especially since you can reset UVHM anytime you want, and sandhawk is easy to obtain.

I wasnt actually talking about the gear haha, I was talking about the desire to actually play the game.
My little brother likes to make alternate universe Claptraps. He's only fully completed one but he has a bunch of sketches on his iPad.

Right now he's making a Phoenix Wright claptrap.

Is there any reason to buy the Ultimate Vault Hunter DLC thingy even though I don't have a character above level 35 yet? Will it affect the loot I find or anything?
No, it only affects stuff after you are 50.

Good to know.
All I know is that it's almost impossible with only lvl 50 gear. A single hit cleaned out my shield and health.
I have the level 61 Storm. It's hella fun to use.

I'm a relatively new player. I put in some codes and have 8 golden keys. Should I use them for my level 21 character or wait until I'm maxed?
Winnie the Pooh tags for guns are the best

Best advice is to use them to help you if you get stuck or if the drops are just being unkind... The chest can't ever give you a legendary (orange), but some level-matched pink items can be helpful from time to time.
Can't you drop pearls at lower levels? That's the only benefit I can think of.
Considering there drop rate and the fact you grow out of weapons fast, it's not even that great of a benefit.
Also ya I would expect a boss at 61 to demolish 50 gear.
Also an idea of uvhm enemy hp I can only one shot level 50-52 basic marauders with my bee and sniper rifle doing 870k criticals
There's nothing wrong with outgrowing a lucky drop. I got a Black Hole off a random bandit on my first playthrough with zero farming and no +rare relics. Just pure luck. I don't see anything wrong with having potential for something like an Avenger popping up like that. It definitely doesn't hurt. I mean, seeing as pearls can drop from anything, in any part of the game - it's kinda worth it.
Edit: Wait, no - it's totally worth it for the chance to lucky-drop a pearl at any level. That joy itself is why we play, isn't it? Seeing that orange line? Pearl is just more awesome. More epic.
More useful. SMG ammo regen on non-zerkers? Yes please.
Pearls only drop in UVHM. Which you can't access until you've beaten TVHM. So no you can't get pearls below 50.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU....
I finally beat the game today(Berzerker) and as I was going around picking up the items that Jack/The Warrior dropped, I came across The Impaler hidden next to the Warrior's body. Naturally i was excited and held 'X' to immediately equip the shield, but didn't know I was at my limit already. So as I picked up the Impaler I dropped The Bee and it fell/glitched under the warrior and disappeared. I spent like 10 minutes running around looking for it before giving up. So I decided to keep The Bee and did a hard reset back to the dashboard.
I really wanted to use the Impaler, so for the next few hours I spent trying (unsuccessfully) to farm the shield, but to no avail. Even worst is that all that farming raised my level up to 38, so when I started TVHM I was overpowered and all the drops were under-leveled.
Really pissed me off since the Impaler fit my playstyle perfectly, ie.:
Turn on Gunzerk and run in the middle of a group of enemies, blasting fools like a madman.

Lol no.
It's still excellent with sandhawk/unkempt Harold, sniping, and with a vehicle for vehicle specific missions.
Killed warrior after the second time he pops from the lava in tvhm.

If you havent taken the gun and you dash, you should be ok.

I've got a Level 61 Bee. 98,000 capacity and ~158,000 amp damage. It is awesome. Combine that with any number of fire rate modifiers and you've got a beast on your hands. I disagree that the Bee is shit, it still 3-10 shots guys (depending on the gun and enemy type).
So I have this alternate account that I use to transfer items between characters.....I don't play the game on it, and I've never redeemed a shift code for golden keys, and yet I just realized that I have 11 keys on it, but yet my regular account only has 1. I wonder how that happens?
If you're on a 360, you can dashboard or sign out of your profile (which is quicker).
Thanks for the tips! This will come in handy when I'm doing all my max level side quests.

Yea the bee has always been useful with certain guns. I just got a level 57 which is gonna be useful till 61.
I always much preferred the sham though. I can't stand constantly going down because of mobs of crap shooting at me.
Still will throw on the bee for bosses though. I would love a quick shield swap option.
Was playing with some randoms tonight and ran into some weird situations. We were playing on the mission where you have to fight that big flying bunker thing. On the way to it you fight this big Constructer thing and it was destroying us. Most of the people on were a few levels below the mission level so it was no surprise we weren't even putting a dent in things. Anyway somehow after like 10 minutes trying to fight the Constructor it just kinda died. Then when we were fighting the bunker the same thing happened. I took out a few of it's turrets, put some slag and corrosion on it and then next thing I know it's health has gone and it explodes.
I'm guessing someone was glitching or something because those things had tons of life left. Anyone ran into this before? PC btw.

Was one of you playing as Zer0 with Bore? I think that the "Bore" skill has some oddities with Constructors and Bunker.
Yep it's $5 or free if you have the season pass.
This. With bore, if you fire at Bunker at a certain part just above his middle line, where his sideturrets come out there's a chance for the bore skill to go hyperactive and mess him up completely. Very handy for farming Bunker

I think I had a few points in Bore with my original playthrough - a sniper Zero build. I remember taking down Bunker in a few seconds with a slagged Zammachat White Death.
