I spent about 2.5 hours yesterday farming for the Bee shield just so I could solo Terramorphous. Killing it alone was very satisfying.

Also,

Looks like the first campaign DLC is coming soon.

I hate you :p

I've spent about 5 hours total now farming that damn shield, and still haven't got it to drop.

Farmed the warrior yesterday, and got a legendary shotgun..... but it wasn't the conferense call. It is some other type, that does 16363x16 damage, but the shots go EVERYWHERE, so you really only ever get 1 bullet hitting a target. Works great on big bosses though.

**** yeah! Found the bee finally! During my lunch break I launched the game. But before I farmed for it, I put on my vault hunter relic for the 5% increase.... First kill he dropped the sheild. I might love this relic now :p So about 5 hours and 1 minute of farming :p

Now to dupe it for my girlfriend so we can take out Terramorphous.

I did a quick Warrior farm with the bee... insane. Only takes about 3 minutes to drop the warrior now. Still no confrence call shotty though :(

Just hit level 49.. Still got quite a lot of playthrough 2 to go though. Just heading the opportunity.

I need a decent corrosive weapon though. I keep trying for Moxxi's Bad Touch but all i get is good touch. I have it about 8 times now :laugh:

I have Teapot but it just isn't as good as it was in playthrough 1.

Have you beat Terramorphous or the Varkid Invincible bug yet? There is also a lot of DLC rumors flying about. Don't give up on it just yet, unless you just didn't have fun.

Truthfully. I forced myself to continue playing. I got bored with it. Am back to Skyrim now that they released Heartfire. Not much to the DLC, but it's still fun to have a wife and 2 kids in game and to have 3 big homes that you build yourself.

I did a quick Warrior farm with the bee... insane. Only takes about 3 minutes to drop the warrior now. Still no confrence call shotty though :(

Got a lvl 50 gold/orange critical conference call. Warrior is down in like 30 seconds. Can solo Terramorphous (spelling) in normal mode. Have not tried true vault hunter mode yet tho.

aweesome to see folks like Shakey, Lingwo and giantpotato posting again :)

this is an excellent and addictive game. it's Borderlands+, not even a true sequel i think, but it's really playable and fun and the story is better. i just miss the insanely funny quips from the bandits, these guys are much more serious, constantly talking about don't scavenge my stuff etc. what happens to "stip the flesh, salt the wound hehehehehehehhe!"

Jack is a good villain, and i will buy the SP DLC when it comes out. You guys are quick, i'm only level 17 and bought this on day one heh heh. playing as the siren btw. i love the intro screen, can just stare at it and listen to the moody music...

one thing i don't like are the maps...overly convoluted this time, even if they're bigger, which is good.

Burn some rats, i'd say they have the best line in the game.

Goliaths have some pretty funny lines too, especially the X-Men arcade game reference.

Just found a legendary pistol from farming Terramorphous. Called the Double Penetrating Unkempt Harold. Does 14496x2 damage, but shoots out like 10 bullets in a horizontal line. So sweet. I kill the warrior in 1 clip with this pistol.

Also did the coolest thing anyone can do in the game lol.

While playing with a friend, I kept trying to drive him off the edges of the map. I would get in a car, line it up with his character, then just drive him with him stuck on the front of the car, off the edge. But that isn't the cool part.

We were right outside of Ellie's place. He was standing on the end of one of the huge ramps just outside of her place, firing at a buzzard that was shooting at him. I got in a car, turbo'd towards the ramp, and hit him just perfectly. He got stuck on the front of my car, as we both flew in the air. As we flew through the air, me in a car, him on the front hood, we went through the buzzard, making it blow up. It was epic.

I solo'd Terramorphous the other day for the first time and somehow killed him easily. He dropped the Slayer of Terramorphous and went to equip it... it was for blooming Mecromancer! (i'm a commando). I have been picking up quite a few oranges recently but they're all rubbish. Still you get a nice bit of cash for them. I am just waiting till i get to the Arid Nexus so i can farm The Bee.

I really need to find some of these epic sounding weapons and shields, but best drop I've had so far is a sniper rifle (I do quite like sniping while deathtrap is out being insanely awesome) which does 255 damage plus shock elemental or a blue shotty with 98x6 plus explosive. Seems good to me but sounds pants in comparison to the world enders you all have :(

Yesterday night I was playing coop with a friend and found out how much of an overkill is a commando with a slug rifle + a gunzerker with a fire shotgun.

I was using that rifle you get when you finish the fifth slaughterhouse round (which is kinda annoying as it shoots upwards for some reason, so you have to aim to your feet to hit enemies right in front of you) and we completed four secondary missions just running and ripping through enemies. Crystalisks were exploding in about two seconds :laugh: even the badass Varkids, which I found to be quite tough when playing solo.

If anyone is on the PS3, I'll be happy to dupe what Legendarys I've found. The Bee, Unkempt Harold, and the shotgun called Flakker.

Unkempt Harold does around 14k damage per bullet, and shoots around 10+ bullets at one shot.

Flakker does around 16.5k Damager per bullet, and shoots about 20 bullets per shot, but they just explode everywhere... Really only good for Terramorphous killing.

Yeah it is. Although Randy Pitchford said on his twitter some big redemption codes are coming up soon (this week).

Sweet, been missing the key releases.

Anyone have any info on when the new DLC for PS3 will be released? It still isn't showing up :(

And I added you Jedi. If you're on tonight, we can dupe those for you.

With the pistol and bee, I can kill the warrior in 1 clip. It's basically he pops out, dies, goes back in the lava, jumps out again and blows up :p

Terramoprhous takes about 4 clips. But I am Zero, and I use his deathmark skill which adds a ton of extra damage when I throw Kunia.

So far the most damage I've done in a single shot was 2822K damage. So just a bit under 3 million!

The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product.

    • We are reached to the point that apple looks affordable and better choice than anything else, in what dystopia are we living in....
    • Ouch. $1600 for 256GB SSD / 16GB? Even Apple, the purported "target" of Surface devices for a long time, has its MacBook Air M5 at 512GB SSD / 16GB RAM for $999 MSRP. Surface will never be reasonably priced with such low volumes.
    • Sadly price is pretty in line with the other new X2 devices so far. RAM/SSD prices have ruined everything.
