11 MORE levels is going to get pretty nuts. Every spec will have almost every good talent.

I shall be playing......not sure what the best way to level up is?

Digistruct Peak doesn't allow for overleveled weapons until you're at lvl 72. (i think?)

gotta level up somehow? :idk:

at level 72 you will be able to have two and a half skill trees full... that can make for some pretty insanely strong characters and IMO defeats the purpose on a game like this forcing you to choose a skill path... that being said... unless they give some killer new game play shit I'm NOT playing through the game again.... fuck that.... no way no how

Yeah, it sounds like people are resetting UVHM and playing through again.........but I'm with you....I don't really want to do that. lol

I wouldn't mind replaying the Tiny Tina DLC though, but I doubt that's enough XP for 11 levels.

The only DLC I did in UVHM was Tiny Tina (finished the base game in UVHM 3 levels away from max with a friend of mine and just jumped right into the last DLC) so I hope between all the other ones I can get 11 more levels.

with my Zero I did everything from scratch... got to lvl61 the honest way lol..... I gibbed my Mechomancer but ran through the main story and all the main missions in all the DLCs... now I'm going back doing random missions with her for fun... but.. unless the DLC has some killer game play overpowered guns and bad guys holds little to no interest to me.

Well, I think you'd be able to obtain lvl 80 versions of the weapons you have now....plus new legendary coms and new pearls.

It's all a bit confusing to me.....how it works.....:idk:

Those new legendary coms will have to be pretty crazy to beat out my Chaotic Evil Rogue :lol:

I look forward to seeing them.

I'm compelled to play all new stuff....regardless of what it is.

Some players are still really obsessed with BL2......I don't understand that.
Maybe I'm just burnt out on it too?

I've only played through Tiny Tina once.
This weekend, I leveled up my Krieg........got him to around 39-40, and put him on the shelf. got him a few more levels and got sick of it again.

Yeah, I don't know.

Just ran the new gauntlet. I got three xp bubbles into lvl 61 and when I finished it I got a pop up telling me to come back and finish it at 72 to unlock the overpowered enemies option. I did get a new head and skin for doing it though.

It was pretty fun, maybe a bit easy compared to Tiny Tina (apart from the Rabid Skags nothing even dropped my shields). They also recycled the four assassins from the power plant as the main boss which is sort of lame.

I did it twice. It's about a third of a bar.

I'm guessing getting XP elsewhere will be a better idea.

It was fun, and will probably be really sweet at 72.

I decided to go mess around with the Bar room Brawl at Petes, got to 63 in about 45 minutes with the sham/norfeet rapage. That will probably be the fastest but I think I'll go do other stuff just cause it's more interesting.

Sal is very OP :lol:

I had zero trouble with Zer0 (pun intended). Like I said, I actually thought it was a little on the easy side compared to the last DLC, hoping the overlevel stuff is wher ethe challenge is in this one.

I don't normally play as zero. I was trying to MMF everything and dying.

I typically play as maya or sal.

Zero is my favorite, then probably Maya and Sal. I still don't have Krieg because it didn't look like something I would enjoy enough to spend 10 bucks on and level up all over again. My buddy who I almost always play with (but who is moving right now so I ended up doing the new gauntlet solo) plays Axton so I haven't messed with him much and I don't care for Gaige too much.

I don't like playing melee zero even though it has probably the highest damage potential, just not my style.

so I caved... I had just over 4K in MS points so I bought the expansion... did the first run through last night, not so bad and too my surprise I got a legendary, I"m not sure if it's one of the new ones but it's a SMG and I'm not too sure what so special about it so I'm going to hold on to it for a bit and check up on it... if it's lame I'll just sell it or sacrifice it to the alter in the Tiny Tina DLC..

Think I'm going to give Diablo 3 a shot for a while.

They say the console version is good.

Yeah, I've been reading off and on all day about that shit storm.

PC guys are certainly pissed about getting ignored, while the console version got "fixed" (loot 2.0) before they did.

I was also surprised to hear that people pay real money for in game top shelf gear.
soooooo weird to me.

I haven't played D3 in over year so I don't care either way.

Don't knock the in game real money stuff though. It bought me a Cabronita tele :dance:
