Gearbox recently added skill tree planners for all 4 classes to their site:
http://www.borderlands2.com/us/skilltree/ (http://www.borderlands2.com/us/skilltree/)


there are also a few long videos up on youtube that show plenty of new gameplay and one even has a sneak peek at the 5th class that will be added after release.

Dad just pre ordered the 360 Version for me, and it is releasing at midnight very soon in the US and it is likely to really fly off the shelves so if you haven't pre ordered it now's the time to do it.

I'll be playing as Salvador or Maya probably, btw there are playthroughs already posted on youtube if anyone wants to get some knowledge on the game, lot's of cruddy players posting though (most people aren't using action skills, changing weapons or looting).

Borderlands 2 is fun. I was taking random video clips while playing for my site this morning, and had a short, 30-second (ballistic) exchange that I particularly liked. I was trying to snipe a bandit with my burst-firing sniper rifle but he wouldn't stick his head out. Unfortunately for him, he 'knee-ded' better hiding skills.

So I just opened it and started playing last night and Handsome Jack is a total d**k, Creepers (they blow up in your face too) have invaded caustic cavern, and I haven't seen a single Skag yet.

BTW does anyone else play Borderlands 2 on the Xbox 360 or am I alone in my choice console?

Some of my guns and stuff...

Love this one, it shoots needle bullets that stick into things then it blows up and sets it on fire lol. My first E-tek, got it from the golden chest.

I got that once - awesome stuff, huh? Have you gotten all bandits? I went on a run with four straight rolls of all bandits. That sucked.

I have this on Xbox 360 and PC (score!), so I'm definitely reviewing this.  ;) Anyone got anything to pitch in for the review?
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on September 22, 2012, 02:21:23 AM
Co-op is so confusing sometimes. Playing with 090901, SSG and some other guy. I could hardly follow the storyline at all, I mean missions could start whilst I was in a shop or something, and I'd miss all the background speech.
In other news, <3 Sniping.
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: Tweedy on September 22, 2012, 04:16:52 AM
While I was playing it, it struck me as being more suited to cooperative play because of the ammount of enemies at some points. The abilities skill trees are definetly more in depth than before, cooperative play with different characters also helped the team a lot more than before. Guns are more realistic in terms of their type as well, shotguns actually have a good spread now rather than being essentially a mid range rifle in some cases snipers also do more damage now and do incredible damage with headshots and have a good long range scope rather than just being an OK mid range weapon with an OK scope.  Enemies are also a lot more varied, in every area I seemed to come across a new type of enemy for me to fight, bosses also seem a lot harder this time around and I actually felt that I was against a very strong enemy rather than just facing a slightly stronger bandit with a funny name.
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: Alphasim on September 22, 2012, 07:11:17 AM
I like sniping too, even as the commando. I usually open fire with my sniper rifle and keep at it until the baddies close in, at which point I toss down the turret. It does a ton of damage while tanking the baddies so I can finish them off. I recently got a nice sniper rifle (while backtracking through earlier areas) that I like.

The blade on it is especially nice when I'm cornered. I also found my first orange-quality weapon this morning.

It's not the best, I don't think. I have purple weapons that do more damage (and are more my level).

What's your favorite gun manufacturer? I like Jakobs, personally. I love the old-school firing feel of them.
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: Tweedy on September 22, 2012, 07:44:43 AM
I got a version of that sniper  too but it didn't have a blade and did slightly more damage. My favourite gun manufacturer is a tie between Jakobs for the old feel to the guns and maliwan because I love the look of the new elemental SMG's.
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: System32 on September 22, 2012, 10:49:57 AM
Bandit, Vladof, Milawan.
 
I like sustained DPS too much.
 
I just got this but recently sold it for a Milawan SMG:

First non quest E-Tech, too. It made a nice sell.
 
Can't wait for anither. This carried me hard when I got it.

Anyone else really hate crazed marauders? lol, to me they are the most annoying enemy I have faced.
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: System32 on September 22, 2012, 08:02:33 PM
Not really, I'm a sustained DPS guy so anyone who is staying at midrange is EZ mode, regardless of HP.

Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: System32 on September 27, 2012, 08:40:56 AM
Level 28.
 
ALSO:
 
Guaranteed Purple Drop chest + Easter Egg
Alright guys, this is a compilation of info from the "Volcano Secret?" thread on the Spoilers section.
To gain access to the guaranteed purple drop chest, you have to:
-Go to Claptrap's Place
-Find the item in the fireplace
-Deliver the item to Geary, on the volcano in the Eridium Blight
*You cannot fast travel or die to get it to register
**Cars however ARE allowed
-Let Geary hit you once, and then he will jump off a cliff into the lava
*If he hits you more than once you failed at it and have to re-do it.
-Enjoy the 3 Rakk flying by overhead dropping loot chests, including the guaranteed purple drop chest!
If you're not seeing the reference, think Lord of The Rings and then maybe you'll understand.
Also, Geary can be farmed for purple rarity heads if you're into that stuff.
--Bonus--
Kunckledragger can be farmed for the Hornet since he's on the way
--Have Fun--
Many thanks to everyone who helped with finding all this out!
Happy Farming!
--Edit--
Thanks to thrasherv3 for reminding me, this has only been guaranteed to be accessible on PT2. There have been some cases of it working on PT1 (Post-warrior kill and multiplayer) but those have been iffy still.
Thanks to falconbox585 and friends for some further testing! This can be done as a group, however another player joining mid-trek nullifies the event, as the new person spawns from a New-U.
 
Farmable LoTR quest lol yes.

Got my first E-tech gun today, a caustic grenade launcher shotgun. I also got an orange rarity single shot assault rifle level 24 requirement 777 damage, fires as fast as I can pull the trigger, got a holographic style sight on it 25 round mag, I'll get a screenshot on saturday.
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: Alphasim on September 28, 2012, 12:48:06 AM
It's almost game-breaking how awesome the turret is. It has a short cooldown and I can use it to flank shield-carrrying baddies, tank bad-ass level mobs or just toss it into a room to clear it while I go loot boxes. I love my turret.  :bigsmile:
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: ianh05 on September 28, 2012, 02:29:44 AM
My advice for the day:
Do the whole clan war chain, at the end of it you will gain access to a farmable area with 0 mobs that nets you around 1-2k in cash, chance for items/eridium and a nice loot chest at the end, This area is in the holy spirits bar. Also if you get "boom time" on the slot machine in the same bar and an NPC is near damages (and sometimes even kills) them, I lol'd IRL when i seen it kill a NPC this morning.

The best gun I've found so far:

also has anyone else ever found a vehicle skin customisation ?

I have a bunch of vehicle skins. They're nice since I get bored with the rides' stock looks and usually grab a different skin each time I pick one up at Catch a Ride.

Sadly, Cooldown is better imo.

Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: Chaosmancer on September 30, 2012, 05:38:31 AM
Bought the game yesterday after trading in a load of things, decided to play as Zero, and I'm not really having too much trouble. Got past Boom Bewm rather dishonestly by dying, waiting at the ledge and killing Bewm with an explosive handgun, then ran up to Big Bertha and circled it, shooting more handgun shots, and then killed him with several more hangun shots and some grenades. Killed Flynt in the same dishonest way by eventually dying, then waiting outside of the boss area.

Just got to Sanctuary, and my current weapons are a Sublime Corinthian (Red Sniper Rifle with  a bayonet, deals fire damage (the thing that finally replaced the sniper I got from the Premiere Club thing), and a Double Lovin' Pounder (Shotgun that deals 30x9 damage, two ammo per shot (four per mag) and does explosive damage...also it has a scope).

I also read the QR code on one of the folders, and it said
'NICK WILSON

HO OH'
(apparently Nick Wilson is an artist who worked on it).

To be honest, Zero isn't being too difficult at the moment, as long as I attempt to stay away and use my sniper, then melee/shotgun when they get close, it's fairly easy.

I am also currently using 13/12 slots, which was either a glitch, or something planned for people who don't clear their inventories before completing missions.

It's just a glitch, Zer0 is quite easy to go through the first playthrough with but when you reach the second you'll start having more trouble than characters with offensive abilities.

Update on my progress: Finished playthrough 1 as Zer0 ( now level 46 without boosting )and am half way through True vault hunter with him, I now only use melee attacks because that's how i've built him.
I'm also about 1/3 through the first playthrough as axton.

I've had some fun with Deception and Execute. If used right, you can launch yourself after flying enemies (like Buzzards) and kill them with one melee (I have only managed it with the Buzzard a couple of times). It's also probably pretty old news, but it seems as though you can skip the end of the reload time if you melee just as the magazine (or whatever is used to store the ammo) is pushed into the slot (there is usually a little bit of animation after the ammo goes in, but it can be cancelled into a melee if done right (I wasted a lot of ammo testing to make sure I wasn't wrong)). Level 25 now, very nearly dinged to 26, and I already have a plan for how to spend skill points (i.e. minimalistically get to the bottom of one tree, then minimalistically get to the centre skill of another one)... oh yeah, and I need to remember to stop meleeing Hot Loaders; 'oh look, an enemy *Deception, Execution, explosion, down*'.

As it goes, am I the only one finding that I have more money than I know what to do with (i.e. too much money, spend it all in the slot machine in hopes of getting Eridium)?

not sure how many of you know this but you should follow these:

http://twitter.com/GearboxSoftware (http://twitter.com/GearboxSoftware)
http://twitter.com/DuvalMagic (http://twitter.com/DuvalMagic)

They give out shift codes which you can enter into your game (once you sign-up for shift which is free) to get items such as golden keys. There's a new code coming soon which will get you one golden key (that you can only use once per account).

They have been giving a lot of these codes out, I think I've managed to get 6-8 golden keys already. The codes last about 3 hours each and can be redeemed on unlimited accounts so they never run out like other software codes.
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: Chaosmancer on October 06, 2012, 04:04:26 PM
Thanks for the link. Used my Golden Key from the start of the game at level 13 and got a rather awesome rocket launcher (and now I have one that is about 4x the strength of that one). Unfortunately, one of my side missions has glitched (i.e. one of the switches is red and there is no way to make it green, tried following the lines, tried shooting it with a random shock sniper, tried pushing the switch that summons all the enemies, killing all the enemies, then pulling the switch again, and it just doesn't work) which sucks because the reward was apparently a choice between two sniper rifles. Have looked for fixes, and apparently there are none, I suppose it is just a case of better luck next playthrough.

Current loadout is a sniper rifle that has 1422 damage, a shotgun that does 359x15, a rocket launcher that does 12352, and a pistol that does 766x2 and fires insanely fast. I have also made it to level 31 finally, although I am second guessing which tree to go to the middle of now. Which would you reccomend I go for; Death Mark, or B0re? Death Mark was my original choice, but B0re is looking quite tempting for some reason.

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 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?

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.
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: Chaosmancer on October 08, 2012, 12:49:28 PM
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

"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."

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 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.

True Vault Hunter Mode has been kind of strange up to this point... I had some difficulties before a point that I can't remember, then I just cruised along until I got to Overlook... then again, those Hot Loaders/EXP Loaders can be a pain... especially since I can't just go into Decepti0n and kill them with my melee (which works quite well now, because I have the skill that means that my holographic decoy explodes when I become visible, but, it also explodes when I deploy a new one with Many Must Fall, which has helped quite a bit). Haven't played any of the DLC yet because I should probably finish True Vault Hunter Mode before doing it.

I have looted a few oranges before, but they were never as good as the weapon that I had equipped before... the only thing I have never had at higher than a green rarity is a class mod... may have had a blue at some point, but I'm pretty sure I haven't. I don't think that I have had a relic higher than a blue either. I have seen high rarity class mods, but it was when I couldn't afford them (which means three things; 1. die less, 2. don't blow all your money on slot machines before checking the store, 3. always check how much longer until the item of the day changes, if it isn't too long, wait), I could've had an amazing class mod if I happened to have either 140,000 or 240,000 (can't remember which, think it was the former).
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: ianh05 on October 21, 2012, 06:43:57 AM
if you need cash, farm a big boss like Bunker or Warrior on normal mode and sell all blues/greens/whites you get worth the most. Elemental sniper rifles and rocket launchers go for a bunch, and for some reason there are a couple of assault rifles that sell for like 10x+ more then normal (probably a mistype with 1 too many numbers lol).


If you have the new DLC there's a couple of good farming spots I have found too, 1 zone has 8 red chests that are very easy to get to and the other has 4 red chests in one little area plus a boss between them.
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: Chaosmancer on October 21, 2012, 07:00:36 AM
It's not really that I need cash, it's that either I blow it all on slots, don't get much, then I find something really expensive that would be awesome, or I don't blow it all on slots, don't find anything good, and proceed to spend all my money on the slot machines... or lose a lot of it when I die. I had one of those assault rifles yesterday, blue rarity, worth 25,000-odd, it did have pretty good stats, but I don't use assault rifles... apart from in that one mission where you have to. As it goes, if I were to find something awesome in True Vault Hunter Mode, exit game, swap to Normal Mode, farm enough cash, will the store still be the same as when I left True Vault Hunter Mode, or will it have changed with time?
Title: Re: Borderlands 2
Post by: ianh05 on October 21, 2012, 07:30:52 AM
It would have changed. I farm a lot of cash from warrior and chest farms so I never really need to buy anything from vendors and dying doesn't hurt the pockets much either.

I'm sitting on about 3.3 million at the moment, thinking about spending a bunch on slots in order to get a legendary. I'm trying to trade the mechromancer class mod I posted for a gunzerker one.
