Borderlands 2 release date and preorder

[futurefields]

Wtf the GOTY edition doesnt even include the DLC needed to reach max level in this game.

hmm, that's weird. I thought the announcement of the GOTY addition was explicitly to show that upgrade pack 2 was included (before that, Season Pass was everything up until that release, minus the 2 bonus characters).

I don't think they would have simply renamed Season Pass...

Had a strange thing happen last night while I was playing Sal. I had a Norfleet (Left hand) & Topneea (Right hand) for FFYL to get the bonus damage from Divergent Likeness. When I went down I would have swore that I only fired the Topneea once, but there where multiple energy balls like the Norfleet. I got a second wind and switched back to pistols in other 2 slots. After the fight was over I switched back to the RLs and only the Topneea needed to be reloaded missing 1 round of ammo.

I know I was getting tired and was trying to hurry to get to actual save point, but that's the first time I've seen anything like that.

I really don't like the nickel-and-diming that Gearbox has done with the DLC for this title. As a new player, I was lost on what DLC I actually needed. Too many upgrade packs, season pass, skins, player unlocks, etc...

Put it all in one package and sell it that way. If people don't want it like that do it a la carte. Either way make it easy and understandable for new vault hunters to comprehend...

Has anyone ever experienced any clipping issues in the Dust? I noticed that when driving in the Dust, occasionally the vehicle will fall right through the map!

I did a Steam verify game cache integrity check, and it said,"1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired."

Not sure if that has anything to do with the clipping problem in the dust..

*Edit* never mind fixed it. An INI tweak I had was causing it.

Granted there is a lot of dlc, but that is pretty much the way it is these days. The good thing is that none of the dlc is essential to the main story or future games, like say mass effect, where a good bit of plot content was missing if you did not get the dlc. If you shop carefully and get the doc on sale, you can get a lot of content for not a lot of money.

Yeah, that kind of sucks. Guess they figure suck more money out of the consumer.

Bloodshot stronghold can also be quite annoying, as there isn't much opportunity to easily run through it, especially on UVHM. I think the only area of that map I have had success with that is the part from finding Roland, you can quickly run to and through the final gate. Then, in the next map, it isn't much problem to run through all the mobs to the very last checkpoint at that last fight. In fact, I don't think I've done it any other way, because I was also sleepy when getting there the first time, only to learn that there is yet another wall of mobs to get through. Fuck it, I said, and just ran to the end, ignoring all the loaders.

Not sure if you're aware. After exiting the Stronghold to the the Bridge, you can save and quit there. When you start back up you'll be at the bridge. I've done it quit a few times as I was ready for bed after making it through the Stronghold.

yeah, it works on any map. But that was my first run through the game and I wasn't sure it would work at that point.

In fact, my first time doing bunker, I was freaking out about it because the first stage of that normal fight is quite long and when he kills me after taking out the turrets, I freaked out. Couldn't deal with it at that time, so was worried that if I logged out, it would put me back into Thousand Cuts....but there is that one-way fast travel at Bunker.

I was reading bout Digistruct peak and noticed the cast of characters that appear....The Black Queen, Dukino's Mom etc...do they have a chance to drop the same legendaries as in the main campaign?

 

[KeithP]

Anyone doing the loot hunt? With the first target, Knuckledragger, I was only getting blue drops but with Boom Bewm, two kills = two legendaries.

I think item rarity is predefined for those special items. I got the same as you (blue Gwens and orange Hornets).

Also, seems for outside-US players, even their kill score is not getting updated. I killed Knuckledragger like 20 times and Boom Bewm multiple times on different difficulty levels and I still got "Not killed" on their page. I know only US residents are applicable for the prizes, but it kinda sucks that I don't get my stats updated anyway

 

[Hinda65]

omg....how did I miss this....me and my brother were just farming boom bewm last night...I guess we'll go back today...I wonder if they increased the chance for legendaries cause we killed them 20 times and only got the greeny..

 

[DaveSimmons]

FYI, with yesterday's blue Gwens the level varied -- 30-33 for my level 35 commando, level 48 for a level 50 mechro.

So it might be worth farming for level not just elemental type if you get one that's too low-level.

 

[Hinda65]

me being behind the times here, I just went and farmed Knuckledragger and ended up getting a twin hornet...sweet...looks like that's the prize for boom bewm too coincidentally...

its saying on the site that day 1 was marauders but keith mentioned above that knuckledragger was day 1...knuckledragger was actually day 2...right?

 

[DaveSimmons]

No, Knuckledragger was day 1 and always gave a blue Gwen's Head until around 12:30 AM Pacific Time last night. After that the last time I killed him (with my 35 Commando) I got a white junk pistol.

1. Kill a named boss for a special gun for the day
2. Use the gun to kill regular mobs

There's a daily target for a total (community-wise) kills for 2) and once each day's target is met, all players will get a bazooka at the end of the week. Also, US players get a token for each day they kill 1) and then Gearbox will randomly pick some winners (once a week?) who get either 5k USD or a PS Vita. The second week I guess the same thing, but instead of a Vita, it will be a GTX660 card.

I think you are mixing up the targets and community goals. Target on Day 1 was Knuckledragger, Day 2 target is Boom Bewm.

Community goal on Day 1 was Badass Marauders, on Day 2 the goal is Bullymong Slingers.

According to the BL wiki, a Hornet from Knuckledragger is his rare loot drop, nothing to do with the Loot Hunt or day 2's Boom Bewm drop:

damn, forgot about this. I just killed warrior for shits and got an OP 4 Conference Call--go me.

Bunk3r is still a real bitch. No Sham, and no bitch yet.

so I have to go do this community stuff, then...hmm.


....does this mean the world-wide loot drops are increased as well? or is that later?

Nice work on the conference call. Me and my brother finally took down Pete last night...got a seraph shield but no Legendary ...gonna try him again tonight

Not sure on the drop rates but I'd guess no...at least it didn't seem like it to me.

 

[Hinda65]

so the drops on the loot hunt are pre determined unique/legendary etc? no need to keep farming if you don't get a legendary?

Late to the game, but is there specific order I should do the DLC that comes with the season pass. I am about to beat the first play though. Should I start the DLC or do the second play through next? I seem to remember in BL1 you did the 1st and 2nd playthroughs then did the DLC's to keep from over leveling your 2nd playthrough.
