I never really had any problem with those missions. They're always within a fairly small area.
I don't think rockets suck either, but I think they suffer more than any other class of weapons from "diablo-style weapon suck syndrome," that is, that 90% of the ones you find will be crap, but since it's a goddamn rocket launcher you expect to pick it up and have it do tons of damage.
Thank you, God's Beard, for the triple launcher that replaced my quintuple; slower fire rate and fewer shots but lots more damage and 93 accuracy rules.
I also found my first legendary last night, a Detonating Bulldog. Damage was a little disappointing but 20 shots with 3x explosions on a shotty with 1.6 fire rate (compared to my previous .5) is pretty damn usable for a few levels.

oh god. i found the barrel. They really do spawn at random spots. i'm not trusting waypoints anymore :lol.
The sniper wasn't even worth doing :lol.

...well, the difference between Old Haven and New Haven is that you get shot at in one of them.:lol
The real issue with rockets is that they travel slower than any other projectile weapon and few of the mobs in this game sit still unless they're in really good cover. You can overcome this somewhat with AoE and the right skill selection.

yep but that didn't work. the item ended up spawning somewhere else other than the exact area where the waypoint was. the item was a bit further north than it should have been. i even looked on the map to see the location.
Because all the other item was where it was suppose to be.

The marker never moves for me at all in those missions, it's just in the middle of the general area.

The first couple scavenger missions the marker moves. All the rest it just marks the general area. I like that it doesn't pinpoint the location. WTF is the point of a scavenger hunt when you have a magic radar that points out exactly where the items are? That just turns it into another step and fetch it quest.
Gamers are a bunch of crybabies nowadays, lol. Ten years ago you wouldn't even have a minimap, much less markers on it for every item you needed.

Quick Health Regeneration?drizzle said:So, while playing with my soldier, I found a class mod that I won't ever use (+2 defense, +1 team shield regeneration). I wasn't going to sell it just yet (maybe drop to a friend online or change my skill points around), but then I saw this for sale:
I'm only level 17, but it's the first "good" item i found. I sold my class mod whateverness and bought that instead. Now with a skill respec, i'm finally having some fun playing as soldier.

word. Back in my day we had to draw maps ourselves. With our own blood. Because inkpots were just too damn expensive.Woo-Fu said:

But that's the thing. The loot gods have blessed me with the most amazing rocket launcher I've ever seen, and I still think it's not as efficient as every other weapon.Hawkian said:
2438 damage with x4 incendiary
88 accuracy
0.8 fire rate (which is irrelevant due to the next point)
"Monster Kill!" red text which makes it shoot all 4 rockets in the clip at the same time, making a single super rocket worth 9752 damage.
I don't know. Maybe I just don't know how to use rockets correctly.

Oh, and it's got a scope which is always handy.
Anyway, no offense to rocket lovers, but I think they stink.

I don't know how people complain about the story. Playing a loot game for the story was your first mistake.
So, for those people saying we shouldn't expect too much from the maps, you're getting it wrong!
It's not that we expect too much--it's that the map isn't consistent. Every mission except for Scavenger missions pinpoint exactly where the objective is. Therefore, it's only natural to assume that Scavenger waypoints will do the same. So if you're not aware that the waypoints aren't exact, you think like many of the people do in this thread and elsewhere--"my game must be bugged!" The problem is the lack of consistency, and it doesn't help that some of the Scavenger waypoints are good, but others aren't.

Basically your character was being manipulated by rival corporations to access the vault. Eventually the freaky human looking angel wins but you dont know what was in it. Setting up for dlc and a sequel obviously. Hopefully Claptrap Ninja Assassin is a boss in the dlc. :lol

I agree, and I still enjoyed the game, but
it really did end abruptly. At least show me a vault or something. The way it ended has me thinking that there's no vault and the bitch in the sky just wanted the monster dead or something, which is still pretty lame, but at least a bit interesting.

I'll agree that I felt very unrewarded. All you get is a couple hundred thousand dollars your first playthrough, and like a million after your second. The destroyer should have had crazy drops. Like, at least a few guaranteed orange drops.
Bosses never drop good loot unfortunately. I actually ended up selling every single piece of boss loot I got the second I got them. Most of them are pretty gimmicky, like the Elephant Gun. Really now, a sniper without a scope?
But hey, welcome to the age of DLC. All the endgame quests we're accustomed to in most loot games will now cost money

I've only ever seen one orange dropped from any enemy. Enemy drops are bad, but I think I understand the reason behind it. I think since it's mostly an action game they don't want to slow things down with people staring at the floor looking for loot. Still, that doesn't excuse awful boss drops.Grecco said:
BobFromPikeCreek said:
Well, loot does have that beam of light coming up that indicates what level it is. So you can spot an orange drop from really far away.
What's really annoying is that the god-tier weapons--the ones better than orange--are white. I only have one of them, but I got it from a chest and nearly dismissed it if I didn't check to see if there were any red text in its description.

I'm thinking those higher-than-orange white weapons are glitched, because every one I've seen has been a terrible Thanatos repeater pistol. Evey one.

I used it a bit. It deals a ton of damage.
BobFromPikeCreek said:
Hmm, good point--the one I have is a Thanatos as well. It's not completely terrible though :lol
Googled it, from the official forums by a member:
That's actually quite disappointing, since I have a ton of Dark Orange. I was hoping there would be a super ridiculously rare sort of thing going on

Does the loot scale go gold>orange>purple>blue>green>white? Where exactly do the gold or yellow weapons fit?

No it didn't.DMPrince said:
But they are shown on your compass anyway as money bags when you are near enough to it. The quest marker just marks the general area. You have to look around in that area for the pieces. The quest marker doesn't move at all. Moving around the marker until you see money bags on your compass helps then you can go investigate. Although you can get confused if you opened a chest but didn't take the loot as it will show up as a money bag too.

I can't tell the beam of light for orange weapons from that for worthless money. As far as those white weapons with red text, I've had 3 of them and all of them suck. I don't think they're some special tier, I think they're either a) bugged, or b) regular white weapons that hit that one in a million chance to get a red text attribute.
