BORDERLANDS 2 THREAD

[Human Snorenado]

Forgot to ask- how's the DLC?  I'm gonna get the season pass at some point in the next few days regardless, just wondering.

[Madrun Badrun]

I'm about to start playing if you are up for it, Creepy?

[Human Snorenado]

Sorry man, got work tonight and tomorrow morning :-/

[Great Rumbler]

Forgot to ask- how's the DLC?  I'm gonna get the season pass at some point in the next few days regardless, just wondering.

The pirate DLC was pretty good and Mr. Torgue is probably the best character in BL2 that isn't Handsome Jack.

[Madrun Badrun]

no worries, I'll be on tomorrow night as well.

[Eric P]

game+ of this is really frustrating.  the bosses are way the fuck harder and i just don't think you can get good enough guns unless you get golden keys

He's just so manly

Golden Keys are useless trinkets in my experience. I started NG+ on level 30 and had no problems, what level are you?

[Eric P]

currently 36.

i had to go through Captain Flynt about 6 times.  Too many armored goons would swarm me.

[Momo]

Are you using elemental weapons to it's full advantage? In playthrough one it isnt really that critical, but in NG+ you absolutely need to be an elemental master Often times it is the difference between slicing through enemies like butter and fighting for your life when a midget shotgunner looks at you funny.

[demi]

I'm probably gonna get the Season Pass depending how much it goes on sale on XBL... I've still barely touched this game, my partner just doesnt want to play it anymore :\

[Madrun Badrun]

season pass falls under a 33% off  deal at green man gaming

[Positive Touch]

  details plz

[Madrun Badrun]

I think it is this http://www.greenmangaming.com/hot-deals/
see side bar

[Positive Touch]

thank you!

[Human Snorenado]

Man, I hope Butt Stallion actually makes an appearance in the game.

[Madrun Badrun]

This lilith cult stuff is great

[Momo]

Yeah it is, except for the area where the cult is housed. I hate the design there, the map is misleading and it's awful to traverse

[Human Snorenado]

This lilith cult stuff is great

Haha, yeah just finished that up.

So far I've tried every class but Gunzerker and Mechromancer.  Think I like Siren the best; phaselocking enemies and then shootin em seems most useful skill.

[Dickie Dee]

Just started playing this - chose Mechromancer first

[Madrun Badrun]

add me, my ID is TheInfelicitousDandy.

[Human Snorenado]

Yah, if you're still playing on Steam add 13thmonkey.  I'm off the next two days and will be playing a lot so as to avoid famliy

[Momo]

You all playing on PC?

[Human Snorenado]

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.  Me and Arvie are.  Not sure who drives shittier, either.

[Momo]

Haha, I have a rule about driving - Unless multiple cars are needed the host ALWAYS drives, driving lag kills me

[Human Snorenado]

Arvie/Mamacint/whoever else just got this- make sure you do yourself a favor and sing up for a shift id so you can get golden keys.  I signed up, got a couple and used one... got an absolutely distinguished mentally-challenged shotgun- high accuracy, nice fire rate, scope, corrosive damage. 

[Human Snorenado]

HOLY FUCK THE TINY TINA QUESTS WERE FUCKING ANNOYING

I did buy a bad ass class skill mod that gives almost 3 health regen a second and bonuses to a bunch of co-op oriented skills. 

[Madrun Badrun]

where are you now?

[Human Snorenado]

Level 16, still haven't finished the train quest because I'M A SIDEQUESTER.

[Human Snorenado]

thanks arvie

[Huff]

Follow gearbox on twitter for golden keys. On the ps3 I have some ridiculous number 10+ 

[Dickie Dee]

Almost all of these seemed to work

[Human Snorenado]

THIS GAME.  Played like 11 hours today, up to level 23 and am farting around with the Pirate's Booty DLC.

[Momo]

GOTY

I dunno, I'd recommend you play through the original content before going to pirate booty but order is not a deal breaker in any way

[Human Snorenado]

SO MANY SIDEQUESTS AHHHHHHHHHHH

[Momo]

Sidequests? Forget sidequests, when I loaded up pirate booty for the first time I was just sailing around in that flying bathtub exploring for nearly an hour

[Human Snorenado]

It's weird, a lot of games (thinking Skyrim, Saint's Row 3) where there's a big open world sandbox experience, I'll just explore and dick around.  Haven't had that with this game at all- I'm all about DOIN ME SOME MISSIONS N SHIT. 

[Momo]

Well I do accept all my side missions, then explore and do them if Im in the area

[Human Snorenado]

About half way through the game, I just started systematically doing side quests- I'd go to an area, and do ALL the sidequests in it.  Then, when there's nothing else to do, I'll do the next main quest, which usually triggers a fuckton of new sidequests for me to enjoy.

[Momo]

yup, you're going to side questing well past the final story mission

[benjipwns]

GamersGate has the season pass for 50% off:
http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-BL2SP/borderlands-2-season-pass

Code IAMANELDERGEEK takes another 75 cents off.

EDIT: Also, Mechromancer: http://www.gamersgate.com/DLC-BL2MECH/borderlands-2-mechromancer-pack-dlc

Code will take 5% off the cheapest thing in the cart so...

[Madrun Badrun]

[benjipwns]

Just checked and yeah GMG has it for $10.50 with code GMG30-DPLIM-DN831 (50% off as well otherwise)

[Madrun Badrun]

sorry ya, green man, no idea why I wrote got.

[Human Snorenado]

sorry ya, green man, no idea why I wrote got.

yaere is th

[Dickie Dee]

Dang, missed the season pass sales.

I've been playing assassin mostly. Mostly focusing on sniping shit which is awesome - don't find the stealth skill particularly useful tho

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Finally digging into this game and, man, the characters in this are so irritating. Who wrote this? They all speak the same. Blah blah internet cultural reference blah blah bonerfarts. Ugh.

[Stoney Mason]

I wish they would raise the level cap. I'm not playing anymore DLC until that happens.

[Don Flamenco]

yeah, it's focus group hell for sure.  Like Retro City Rampage, I felt like the entire point of the dialogue was to jerk me off.  Fun game though!   

It chills out a bit once you get on some quests.

[Stoney Mason]

At Gearbox's PAX East panel today, the developers of Borderlands 2 announced that players maxed out at level 50 will finally be able to get to leveling their characters again. As of April 2nd (next week!) you can download what is basically DLC for 11 extra levels (that's up to 61).

But it'll cost you $5 for the add-on, unless you've got that nifty season pass.

The add-on will also come with the return of the Pearlescent weapon type, which was a set of high-level weapon drops and an extremely rare find in Borderlands 1. We haven't seen this weapon type in the sequel yet, but if you download the add-on next week, you might see it pop up here and there if you're lucky to find one of those crafty little guns.

[Joe Molotov]

But it'll cost you $5 for the add-on

I was about to rage until I read...

unless you've got that nifty season pass.

Carry on, then

[Human Snorenado]

Just 11 levels though?

[Momo]

I wish they would raise the level cap. I'm not playing anymore DLC until that happens.

I finished everything, and I was already level 50 before finishing true hunter mode. On one hand i loved all the DLC, on the other I dont feel i really gained anything since all the legendaries I actively use are from the main game anyway.

[Momo]

Just 11 levels though?

11 levels of making all 20+ of my legendaries useless. I'm not fucking grinding villains for them again :/

[Stoney Mason]

All that stuff hit today.

Exciting changes are coming to Borderlands 2 on April 2, 2013!

As you may have heard, the team has been hard at work to raise the level cap -- an effort that required re-balancing, re-tuning and re-testing the entire game -- along with adding a third playthrough, more ammo upgrades, additional backpack slots and more!

Here's what players on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 can expect that day:

Changes in 4/2 Software Update (Free)
Adds new items to the Black Market:
One additional ammo upgrade for each ammo type, at 50 Eridium each.
Two more backpack storage space upgrades, at 50 and 100 Eridium respectively.
Two more bank storage space upgrades, at 50 and 100 Eridium respectively.
Increases the maximum amount of Eridium players can hold from 99 to 500.
Adds a new playthrough balanced for top-tier play: Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.
Various bug fixes.
Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack
(Free with Season Pass, $4.99 / 400 Microsoft Points separately)
Raises level cap to 61, allowing characters to gain 11 additional levels.
Characters gain a skill point with every level from 51 to 61, for a total of 11 more skill points.
Powerful new "Ancient" E-Tech relics and rare Pearlescent-grade weapons can be picked up in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.
Check back soon for a detailed look at the gameplay changes in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UPDATE: find that here) along with details on the various bug fixes in the update, and don't forget there's more to come for Borderlands 2: Krieg the Psycho, a new playable character, arrives in May with the fourth campaign add-on (included in the Season Pass) hitting by the end of June!

Among the level cap increase and various other changes coming to Borderlands 2 on April 2, 2013 is a new playthrough -- Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode -- built for challenging high-level play.

Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode differs quite a bit from Normal Mode and True Vault Hunter Mode -- here's a quick rundown of the major changes:

Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode Details
Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode is unlocked for a character once they have completed the main story missions in True Vault Hunter Mode and reached level 50.
Unlike other playthroughs, Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode can be replayed multiple times with players able to reset their overall mission progress at any time from the Main Menu.
No more tutorial missions -- characters in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode begin in Southern Shelf with the "Cleaning Up the Berg" mission.
While playing in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, enemies and bosses will scale according to the player's current level or, if playing with others, the highest-level player in that party.
Gameplay changes in UVHM:
Enemy health generally increased 4x.
Enemies now have a moderate amount of health regeneration.
Increased duration of slag damage multiplier effect.
Upped the damage that slagged enemies take from 2x to 3x.
Weapon swap speed increased to better facilitate slag use.
Enemies now more likely to drop ammo.
Loot Midgets are now "Legendary Loot Midgets" that can drop Legendary and other top-tier gear.
Check back Monday for details on the various bug fixes in Tuesday's update, and don't forget there's more to come for Borderlands 2: Krieg the Psycho, a new playable character, arrives in May with the fourth campaign add-on (included in the Season Pass) hitting by the end of June!

[demi]

I might just pick up the Season Pass when I'm ready to play some DLC.

[Groogrux]

I've only played part of Capt. Scarlett and none of the other stuff.  I might put the disc in and download the rest tonight though.
