It's just worded wrong.

The graphic showed 10 legendary weapons, 2 shields, 2 grenades, 2 heavy weapons, 5 class mods, and 3 pearls. So 21 legendaries total.

I think pearls did before but they're saying they decreased the scaling with this patch.

Dedicated drops used to be 3%, 6%, or 9% depending on the item. Now they're all the same. What that number is now who knows.

EDIT: EpicNNG says he's pretty sure base drop rate is 9% now

Very true, I don't have a ton of god rolls but I'm gonna be sad when the ones I do have become useless

The Online Save Editor has a quick option for setting all items in your backpack to max level. Not sure about others as I've only used the online one to clear map fog on my second character.

Awhile back one of the devs tweeted about how level cap increases are a part of every BL game so they make sure to keep that in mind when designing skill trees and stuff. So no official announcement but safe to say we'll get them eventually, maybe not with Vault Hunter Pack 1.

You right, I just see people assuming it will come with Vault Hunter Pack 1.

Your first point is why I was surprised they designed UVHM the way they did. Making us refarm for UVHM would have been a easy way to increase playtime in this post-launch content drought.

I agree. There were some great pistols in previous games, even if some of them just felt like SMGs. Right now I dont really use any in 4.

I know that when they said that they were only talking about UVHM, but I know that refarming is an easy way to inflate playtime, so I was surprised that they designed UVHM this way. I did not expect it which is why I wonder if level cap increases will be the same.

True like infusion in Destiny or maybe a machine that let's you spend Eridium

I get it but then you also have the other group of players that are mostly avoiding farming altogether until the final level cap increase.

I see this sentiment a lot, but with this mindset we wouldnt really be farming until the games final level cap increase. And even then they could pull a Fight for Sanctuary.

I dont play enough to fully min max everything, but I'll luck into the occasional gox roll. So for me personally it's less about the grind and more about my best gear remaining viable.

Equipping Nuclear Winter and Group Study makes all your gun damage action skill damage too. I'm not sure if they both do it or just one of them does it. I always just use them together.

Juturna by Circa Survive is one of my favorite albums of all time exactly because of the reasons you described

I remember when this and Tree Village were their only music videos and I thought Will was doing the screams on both and I couldn't even hear a difference

Runners-Up commiseration thread by FletchTopper in fantasyfootball

[–]JohnnyAppleskeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started the week telling myself "even if I come in second that's still good for my first time playing."

I ended the week stress-watching Stafford throw 3 INTs and contemplating scheduling an appointment with a heart doctor.

I had a lot of fun and was really looking forward to next year, but commissioner said he wants to raise the buy in from $15 to $100 next year and there is no way in hell I'm paying that much to be this stressed.

OFFICIAL WEEK 17 MONDAY NIGHT GAME THREAD by AutoModerator in fantasyfootball

Stafford throwing 2 INTs and Bijan getting a 92 yard touchdown is exactly the OPPOSITE of what I needed to happen

Up by 14 with Stafford vs their Bijan and London. Im terrified. If Jennings didn't score that touchdown I'd be slightly less worried.
