Increased Legendary Drop Rate Month Experiences

Yep. Increased drop rate was a big bust for me. A couple Fusillades for my Normal-mode Athena (levels 28 & 31; latter in a vendor, former in a random world drop in DLC). A storm Front in a vendor, and maybe an AckAck. And my least-favorite legendary, the ZX-1.

My Timothy needs a new Prismatic Bulwark and Avalanche.

Yeah, im happy i at least got my Avalanche & Celestial Fragtrap / Enforcer COMs.

Just got a Min Min Lighter. So 2 Fusilades and whatever the hell the Min Min Lighter is for me.

10 times I killed that robot tonight to get an 3dd1.e, that is not an improved drop rate.

I guess it ends tonight at 12:00pm PST.

So just a few more hours.

I think I’ll be glad when it goes back to normal … I think I got more then.

My sentiment, too.

Drops didn’t seem much different than before the patch was applied. I did get a couple of good weapons (Jakobs Luck & a Legendary Clappy COM) but that was about it for good weapons.

Yeah, i just gave up.

Played a big chunk of the DLC this morning, no Legendaries.

Just now i did 3 solid, tedious hours of vendor farming - Nada.

Oh well, i guess 7 legendaries over 4 days is alright,

The Avalanche and Celestial Frag Trap COM alone made it worthwhile, ill use them maybe even right up to 50.

Still frustrating, though, considering how lucky some people got with much less effort.

I guess RNG was too good to me back in my 2 months of BL1 farming addiction around the new year!

I know this isnt directly related but still I dont get it, Ive been farming the red chest just on the outskirts of the Motherboard In the claptrap dlc for almost 3 and a half hours pretty much nonstop, no legendaries, and only 1 glitched weapon and it was a rocket jacobs assault rifle, sold it. Lots of whites, greens and a occasional blue. I dont mean to sound like Im complaining but its just frustrating. Was hunting for some better weapons to fight the Denial Subroutine, found this chest hoping it would make a good source for loot. Its the easiest one in the dlc to get at.

Heh. People, RNG is a troll. Even if the drop rate was 88% there would still be people not getting stuff. Think of it from the point of Melee Krieg: 88% chance to not hit yourself, but in reality that 12% means that RNG can screw you over at any point. Ever hit yourself in the face 7 times in a row? I have. And 3 or 4 in a row is not uncommon, usually at the wrong time like when I’m fighting an UBA Loader. On the flip side, I try to use StV to intentionally hit my self to bring my health to RtB range without risking being hit by a boss and going into FFYL. Know how hard it is to hit yourself when you actually want to? Right, 26 melees in a row with no StV.

RNG the Troll.

LOL!

That’s just too good…

After a looong day of alternating between story and farming bosses and checking machines along the way, I ended up with 19 drops! In a single day. Thanks Gearbox!!!

Wow, lucky you!

If the last time I booted up TPS and played was 4/7 (via PS3) and if unplug from ethernet when I boot up TPS next will I still have the boosted drop rates?

No, it was a hot fix event. It’s lost once you turn your game off.

Damn!

Just to clarify the why… I was away traveling during this event for Holiday/ Spring Break. When I got home and tried to play TPS I was really too tired to focus. So I was away for the event but would like the chance to get some boosted drop rates, etc.

You did not miss anything.

I have gotten some of the worst drops over the last weekend in as long as I can remember.
