£30 Badger Price for Bono version if anyone wants it.

Panty and Kernow get first refusals.

Yeah, you can get shredded quite quickly at the higher levels, even more so at WT5 if the internet is to be believed.

I think the replies to some of this is that you might need to start looking at the stats of the items instead of just chucking on whatever has the higher level number.  I was and still am terrible about this part because I'm pushing to GS425 to get Tidal Basin unlocked.

I'm going to start looking at getting a proper set of gear regardless of the GS so that I don't just get melted.  There's a reddit build by MadMolly that has enough heal sustain to solo most of the endgame content [not enough to just facetank everything] and that fits me quite well.  I've very sporadic gaming time these days so being able to just bumble through the whole thing has been quite enjoyable.

Yeah, I've just been chucking it on but sometimes I feel like I'm a little more underarmoured than usual.  Just finish Tidal Basin so going to get my loot grind on!

Might go into the DZ.

Nice tip.

I will say that while you are doing the same things as the last one. It does a fantastic job of rolling out new content ALL the way through the game, even into the endgame stuff I'm doing things ive not done before and it's mixing things up. 
The exact opposite of other looter shooters ala Destiny.

I like that it rewards exploration with good items and crafting stuff.

Has anyone been down in the sewers for an extended period of time?  I honestly jumped out of my skin at one point.

I don't have a clue what was going on yewterday but I started a bounty and I just couldn't seem to get to it. EVERY time I ran into even a small posse of reds I was getting melted in two to three shots. 
So I did some matchmaking and 3 randos joined in, we were constantly man down and in the end we will got killed and lost the house bounty. It was incredibly hard, maybe something had gone a bit screwy, so...
I left and joined a random squad who were doing a story mission. The thing is they were gear score level 495+ while I was only 302, so I was a bit outclassed but I managed to hold my own. 
Come the end of the level a couple of them decide to drop/share a load of 440 gear for me and I jumped all the way up to level 420, which makes life both easy and a bit pointless in my current world tier (2). It wss really nice of them tho.

Good to have you on the good ship Divvy then DS. It'll look might purdy. My Ubitag is DAQAttak sadly.. I think I got pissed off when all my usual ones were gone? Or drunk.. one or t'other. There's a PC clan that 'Haak got us invited to I think? Subbas in there I believe. It's got enough folks active in it to get some free loot weekly but you'll not be worrying about that 'till you get the right lady unlocked in your base. 

The chainsaw noise does come from somewhere for suresies Panty. Or more accurately, I've seen it's source now and again. I've also been grinding out some calls and happily dumped, sorry, shared any of my less funky looking loot to the other randos. This thing does like to shower you in drops. I started the second character just to get more room to store stuff on. I don't think all that many people know how to share stuff or bother to even stop for more than 5 seconds... 

I've got one warrior princess character up to WT5 but the lack of crafting bench fix (it's stuck on WT2 maybe and I can't make it go betterer to make stuff useful for me now) made me stop there really. I've got ol' mutton chops Cleetus up to 30 as well and just need to do the last stronghold to get to WT1 and see if he can get his crafting bench upgraded. I've heard they're maybe rolling out a fix for the crafting tables in the next patch but they said that last time...

I reckon I must've killed something called tack husk as I now have his outfit. I can't seem to wear his mask and outfit together but I actually look like the operators from Wildlands instead of some hobo trying to restore a country.

There's another bug at the minute at those levels too Subba though to good to hear you didn't get the Crafty Table o' doom. I can only make stuff up to 350 or some such nonsense.

At higher T5 levels the enemies have had their shields and health buffed so much that when their ai routines run a scan to compare theirs with yours they see the humans as basically near death or piss easy to kill and it turns almost all of them into rushers. This is pretty hard to deal with often by all accounts as the hoomans don't have the dps needed to deal with them all at once from all angles. 

They're working on a fix apparently.  

I've gone through ruthless hacks at the inventory here and there as well. Nowadays I also try to keep one of every talent. Ish.. or if they've got a big damage to elites roll or summat. 
It's a bit of a pain in the butt but there's no penalty to making new characters so you can use the stash to funnel stuff to other pack mules if you want to go all uberl33t.

You can push your gearscore higher than 500 by using the recalibration station. It seems that at that point though gearscore doesn't mean too much and you're far better off tuning builds for gear set bonuses or particular talents, weapons and that sort of thing. 
It's a different system to your Destinies and whatnot.

Gunplay in this is sweet as, looks lovely too, seems like a nicely optimised engine.

There's the Liberty exotic which is a Desert Eagle kind of thing that has some pretty nice perks. 



If you pop a weakpoint then the next bullet is 500% (!!) more powerful... skip to about 2min in that video and he starts talking about the gun itself.
