No problem, as mentioned keep checking back with those pages as they give out codes often (I have gotten 9 so far) sometimes 3+ times a day and most days too.

Here's a link to my current gear/spec/badass rank/cash:

B0re seems more useful later on in the game when loaders appear often and in playthrough 2 (True Vault Hunter mode) some enemies who had shields/health have armour instead. Death mark seems like a good co-op skill as you can get more out of it in groups.

i see you have full sexual tyrannosaurus...

lol...good one :P


I like tank builds, I'll try out tank builds with all characters most likely. Can't wait to play an angelic matriarch maya, healing plus health and shields seems overpowered :)

My interest in the mechromancer just went up, apparently she's voiced by:

Yup!  :dance:

WOOOT!! I gotta play as a Mechromancer now! I love her voice.
I play games, I've reviewed games, and now I make games. Games are fun things, aren't they?

I just remembered the other reason I kind of wanted to go for Death Mark, it's because of Unf0reseen (Your holographic decoy explodes when you become visible again, causing shock damage to nearby enemies), which when mixed with Many Must Fall (Killing an enemy with a Melee attack while Deception is active causes you to deploy another holographic decoy, re-stealth, and add time to Deception's duration, this can be done multiple times in succession).

I've just realised that I have been using the Vault Hunter's Relic since the start of the game, and have kept forgetting to change it, so hopefully I will find a good relic soon. Also, with Mirv grenades, if it says 3146x8, does that mean each child grenade will do 3146, or does it mean that the initial explosion does 3146, and each child grenade does 393?
Yes that sequence of words I just said made perfect sense.

Each child grenade does the same amount as the first otherwise they'd be weak compared to the other mods.

Oh by the way if anyone is playing on PC/Steam and would like some carrying I'm level 40 and running some old bosses in normal mode for gear for my other toons (after stuff for maya mostly) if you want to join a game.

Just beat the last boss(es) and it was rather...underwhelming, I expected to die once or twice, but no, no trouble whatsoever, I only took health damage once...then again, I suppose a fully upgraded grenade SDU + Sticky Longbow Mirvs that do 4017x9 and repetitively hitting his chest with them and rockets that do 12752 (plus the fact that it was a Tediore) will kind of make it easy-ish... and Decepti0n made the first part quite easy as well... was level 34 and dinged to 35 after winning. I had more trouble getting there with all of the explosives that were being thrown at me, but oh well. Still not found anything that tops my Sniper Rifle that has no scope (2892, as opposed to everything else only coming up as 1400-odd to 1800-odd). To be honest, I would probably have had less trouble if I carried around more than the bare minimum of things (i.e. if I had a shield and gun for most occasions instead of just carrying what I have equipped (Sniper Rifle, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Pistol, and the rest) and selling everything else... especially if I had kept that one explosion immune shield I found.

As it goes, I have had a few shields that have said 'grants immunity to corrosion damage' and yet I have still suffered the corrosion effects, is this a problem for other people (I have googled it, and it came up with a load of unrelated stuff and no mention of whether other people have found this or not).

Edit: Well...that was pointless but epic, I just hit a Rakk with my grenade and proceeded to kill a few others

Yeah I've never died to the boss in like 40 battles lol but I was a bit overleveled due to completing all side missions.

News:

*Gaige the Mechromancer skill tree has been released - http://www.borderlands2.com/us/skilltree/mechromancer.html
*There's a big announcement to come in the next 24 hours! - http://twitter.com/DuvalMagic/status/255434848662081536

So what is the big news? Maybe info on the first DLC? Gaige released early? Some big shift code offer?

Guess some people had to burst gearbox's bubble and leak the info early:

http://kotaku.com/5950020/borderlands-2s-mechromancer-class-might-be-its-best-playable-character

"The final raspberry (I don't like cherries as much) on this cake is that Gearbox decided to release the DLC early. So while it was originally slated for an October 16th release, players on all platforms—Xbox 360, PS3, PC—will be able to download the Mechromancer by the end of today (October 9th). And you should, because she's great."

So we are getting her today :) Here's the build I'll be going with:

I have it for the Xbox, and I'm not exactly sure if I would be the best co-op partner (I have died quite a few times).

Co-op makes the game a little easier, even though the enemies are tougher you have someone who can revive you plus the combinations of different skills not possible in solo make killing enemies easier. Anyway I joined the GTM group on steam so if you want to play co-op just hit me up :)

I haven't noticed them, most of the time when I see bandits I'm cloaked and throwing kunai.

I only just had one of those today... after I shot him in the head. I think another one said 'Hey, remember that time you killed me? That was pretty fun' (might've been shot instead of killed). Another one was reading poetry/scripture of some kind, I think, but I am not sure. Buzzards are incredibly annoying, some of the lines they spout (as well as singing Ride of the Valkyries) can be quite amusing, but they are annoying as all heck, they are my most hated enemy next to surveyors. I noticed a couple of other ones today, but I can't remember them.
