New update bugs

Not sure. I made the post as soon as I noticed while farming the Loot train.

Same, straight away when I logged on to K.

It doesn’t state the exact time we posted it… we shall never know who was the OP…

This is a competition btw.

I am unsure if this was meant to be part of the updates (because I can’t see it listed in the patch/hotfix updates) but now when I am playing split screen all the enemy scale to the higher player. I haven’t been able to join a game that has any lower level players for me to test if this is only split screen or multiplayer in general. Was this intentional?

Krieg_Krazy · November 1, 2015, 9:02pm

Didn’t it do that before?

kiwigjt · November 1, 2015, 9:03pm

Nope, I was able to join my OP8 character to my lower level character to help them if needed but now all scales to OP8 as soon as I join

Krieg_Krazy · November 1, 2015, 9:06pm

I might know why. You must be in UVHM on your lower lvl character. I’m pretty sure the enemies scale to whatever is the highest level is.

Krieg_Krazy · November 1, 2015, 9:06pm

Is that the case?

kiwigjt · November 1, 2015, 9:35pm

Correct but I thought they stayed the same as the host.

Krieg_Krazy · November 1, 2015, 9:36pm

Nope. But it shouldn’t go up to OP8, just lvl72.

kiwigjt · November 1, 2015, 9:38pm

Yeah the boss went to 74, bit rough for my lvl 54 player that was wanting help to then face a lvl 74 boss

Krieg_Krazy · November 1, 2015, 9:39pm

Use Kunai, the recent update made it OP.

kiwigjt · November 1, 2015, 9:40pm

problem is that none of the items dropped are usable for the character hosting the game

Krieg_Krazy · November 1, 2015, 9:41pm

Oh… I didn’t think of that, that’s not good at all.
Also I was joking about Kunai, the recent update actually nerfed it by quite a bit.

That doesn’t make any sense. At the main menu in UVHM, you are asked which OP level to enable before starting the game. You can choose from OP0 --> OP8. But, that option is only available if the character has unlocked the OP levels. If you first load the game in UVHM with your lower level character, and then bring in your OP8 character, the game should only scale to OP0 (Level 72) at most since your OP8 Character is still technically Level 72. The only thing I am aware of is that if you use Golden Keys at the Golden Chest in Sanctuary (in UVHM set at OP0 or Level 72), with a Character who has unlocked any OP levels, the items in the Golden Chest will always be at the level of the Character who unlocks it. So, in the case of your OP8 Character the items in the Golden Chest would be OP8 and not OP0 (Level 72), even if you manually set the game to OP0.

We cleared that up already. He said the boss was lvl74

kiwigjt · November 1, 2015, 9:51pm

You are probably correct but my host character is only lvl 54. I am then adding an OP8 character to help with some of the boss fights (am doing the DLC’s before starting the story again for my lvl 54 character). When I add my OP character everything is scaling to 72-74. I think Krieg_Krazy has it spot on. I just didn’t realise that the game did this as I have not had to do this before on UVHM.

Poisd2Strike · November 1, 2015, 9:52pm

Yea, I started typing my response before the OP responded. Regardless, the game adjusted itself to the fact that two players are now in his game making it somewhat more difficult.

kiwigjt · November 1, 2015, 9:54pm

thanks guys for both of your responses

Krieg_Krazy · November 1, 2015, 9:56pm

No worries man, glad to help, or at least clear things up.

Poisd2Strike · November 1, 2015, 9:57pm

Yes, in UVHM Borderlands 2 will automatically scale to the highest level character even if that player is not hosting. I am guessing you play solo, or you probably would have noticed if you had joined someone playing online co-op in UVHM. Be careful if you decide to host public games online with a character who is not at least level 72, since someone much higher level could potentially join making your game more difficult.
