Thanks!

BTW, if you want that mod, let me know and I can dupe it. (if you are on xbox)

Deftones

yes, yes, yes! i'd love it. let me know when you are on. not sure i have you on my friend's list.

I tried the 360 at 12PM and said code numbers invalid....thanks anyways

Never Mind...this is what happens when I don't wear my reading glasses and can't tell a "B from a 8" on the last set of numbers.

K&AJones

I was overall happy with the amount of codes I got this weekend and have enough to do what I want...use one code every time I level up Maya. I used one when she was Level 35 and have enough to use one for each level to when she hits Level 50. I'll just pass them down to the Mechromancer (Level 34) and then to Gunserker (Level 19)

i LOVE that shotgun. reload it and watch what happens. best way for me to deal with flying

K&AJones

I'm just going to throw it out though most everyone is already past Level 40+ but if anyone is around Level 37-38 and close to Santuary (1st stop), look me up. I'm at the 'Look for Roland" and "FirehawK" missions. I picked these two yesterday after spending a point...Level 38

Yeah, it has really come in handy, great for crowded levels too.

Man, I desperately want that mod as well, but I just can't bring myself to benefit from duping. Hopefully I'll be so lucky someday to run into a decent vending machine sale.

starman9000

Yeah, I'll give out, but don't want any in return.

starman9000

Granted...getting twitter codes isn't much better.

K&AJones

I did a bit of the "dupe" stuff the first time around and frankly have mixed feelings on it. On one hand it's great to have something really cool but on the other hand "you" didn't find or get it. Besides we're talking about a game that's uppose to have a "gazillion weapons" and such so makes you wonder what else is out there.

As Vallboy said you can turn around and start farming but if you're getting everything handed to you why bother keep looking. Just a thought...

pinata242

Yeah, I'm much less opposed to duping as I am level-tailcoating. That just makes no sense to me.

I tried doing it the legit way at first. Opened every chest. Fully explored every area. Did every side mission. And killed every boss... numerous times. After literally hundreds of hours of playing and NOT getting any orange items, I'll gladly take the handouts. Believe me, the joy is lost very quickly when you find yourself killing the same guy for 5 hours straight and he NEVER drops the weapon you're looking for.

Duping, sharing, trading... whatever you want to call it. It's part of the game. You share to make your "team" better. The fact that I didn't find it just means I wasn't as lucky as the guy that did. The loot really is totally random. It's not like you're "earning" it any more than the next guy. You're just luckier.

Those are my thoughts on the subject anyway.

pinata242

I feel the opposite about that. I wouldn't want to dupe within my team because that seems wonky. From strangers, though, is really no different than a vending machine or a drop, especially if you pay or trade for it.

19K

If you were playing with your team and you killed, say, Terramorphous, and he only dropped ONE awesome item, wouldn't you want to dupe it so everyone could have it? It doesn't seem fair that only one person should reap the reward.

pinata242

Hasn't been an issue before. I understand your point, but we're different classes so much of that works itself out. For shareable items such as weapons, shields, relics, we talk about who needs what. I never use pistols, shotguns, or assault rifles so I rarely care about those.

19K

Well I guess if you only play with the same guys it probably doesn't matter who has the best stuff since you know the strength of your group. When i play online it's mostly with randoms, so I personally like to have as many tools as possible because you never know how good your team is gonna be.

Michael Corvin

That's where I stand. If you've played the game to it's fullest and weren't lucky enough to get some of the cooler shit, then who cares. As long as you feel like you got your money's worth out of the game then at that point do whatever you want to keep the game fun. Some just don't have the time to farm or play the game to level 50 for every character, so tasting the fruits of someone else's labor can be nice.

I'm down for some handouts, but right now I'd just put them in my vault for later use until I reach that point. Someone here (goldberg maybe) shared a hacked SMG in the first game that did all 4 elemental damages at once. It was badass and kept the game fun, but at the same time I rarely used anything else at that point.

starman9000

Oh, Deftones, add me to your friends list, I don't think I'm on it.



Speaking of Oranges, did they just make it a lot more rare for solo-play this version, or is it multiplayer too?

pinata242

We don't see a lot of orange in our regular 3-player game, but we've seen some.

starman9000

Cool. My group play is still like at level 17 so I haven't been able to tell.

pinata242

And we're around level 39 or 40 in TVH mode. About to go after Roland, iirc.

edstein

Did some mod rename the Diablo III thread? All this farming talk and level boosting is making my head hurt.

starman9000

Yep, please lock the thread. The game has been out a while and most people have already beat it.

K&AJones

I haven't seen a Orange period playing with 2 or more. I've got a total of "2 Orange" items and both were playing solo with the Mechromancer. I haven't hit a single one with Maya (level 38) who I've played about 75% co-op or Gunserker (level 19).
