I am so ready for this game. Hopefully I finish the game im playing thru now so that I can fully enjoy it.
Who else is ready for this game? What classes will you play as? have you fully finished the first game?
Talk anything Borderlands here!!!
I'm fucking ready for Borderlands 2. Paid my pre-order off last month and now Im just waiting for the last 12 days till I can be play it.
I've been playing Borderlands 1 over the summer and I finally got my Lilith character up to level 69 with her smg proficiency up to 50. Im probably going to start with Maya for my first playthrough then start a Zer0 character then probably try the Mechnomancer when ever that is available.
but ya I love the first Borderlands and Im stoked for Borderlands 2.
might even pre-order the limited strategy guide so I can get the calendar from gamestop

gamestop might as well make it a calendar with a strategy guide since the former actually has use in the modern world lol

it also comes with some posters and extra shit
so why not
Woo, can't wait! Played borderlands over the summer with my brother and finished the main quest, but am still doing the dlc.
I got this killer revolver that has x4 caustic damage which rapes the crimson lance, but it's quite weak against guys without armor. I'm starting to realize that using the right element against an enemy is waaay [imo] better than just going for high damage.

this took me a while to understand.
I'm excited for this game. Loved the first one. Sat down and fucking platinumed it on PS3 and now I'm close to getting all achievements on the Xbox version. This should be an amazing game and I love the bro-op.

I had it on the PS3 since I had that system first, and then GOTY dropped to like $20 on Xbox so I got that so I could actually play the DLC and bro-op it up with some friends.

yeah. thats true. the price we pay is time.
then again, so will everyone else, even if they didnt preorder, since thats when shes released.
I'm a god at Borderlands. I have played it at least three times with Lilith. Once with everyone else. I know how to do all the missions by heart basically. baddood; I actually just replayed it a couple months ago.
Alas, I won't be playing borderlands 2 for a while.
especially since torchlight 2 comes out the same day and I am more excited for that

lmao
I want to find this now
I got the game yesterday. I picked Zero as my character for single player, but I'm playing through the game with my girlfriend as Axton and her as Salvador.
My Zero is Lv. 8 and my Axton is 5. Haven't played all that much yet.
My badass rank is approaching 1000
I honesty have no clue how I got it so high.
my badass rank is way higher than i thought. apparently challenges give you more than i thought, i thought they gave you like 5 for each.... guess not.

yeah some give you 50 depending what level the badass quest is baddood;
I've just [spoiler]freed Angel. Lilith was captured and Roland was killed. Not I'm trying to get Lilith back.[/spoiler]
i LOVE tiny tina. she's so great.
Guys, how have you been developing your skill trees?
I've been shoving everything into sniping with my assassin and for my commando I've been shoving most of the points into powering up my turret.

Yep, sniping for assassin
I actually get frustrated with other classes having to compare all of the weapons I pick up. For the assassin I basically just take 2 sniper rifles and then whatever is highest ranking of the other gun types. I tried the gunzerker and hated it... Siren was pretty fun though, I was going down the healing tree
I got to where snowy said he was in the game

I've been going down Harmony and the first tree for Maya
Phaselock + killing the enemy while phaselocked= easy health

I've been playing Gunzerker. I've put most of my points in the 1st tree so I can reload extremely quickly, Gunzerker ability cools down quicker, etc.
Though for my Zer0 I'll put most of it on Sniping.

The assassin is my favorite mostly because I enjoy the ridiculous amount of damage you get for crits with the right skills. I rarely use Zer0's ability, tho. I only really use it if a huge enemy shows up or I if I need to re-position. It seems incredibly useful if you bother to upgrade it, tho.

Meeeeeee too. I always like having something to aim for, getting rewarded for it. Charging in with a shotgun just seems so... vulgar >_<'
Having a good shotgun as an assassin is still pretty useful. Gotta do something if they get too close. akudood;
It's especially helpful for badass psychos.
True I suppose... I really miss my incendiary weapon currently, I used to be able to crit a guy and not worry about him dying because of the added damage... now I've got shock and that just sucks >_<' Need to find a corrosive gun for my newfound robot buddies, the first constructor was a pain in the ass because I didn't realize it could regenerate shields and just killed his never ending minions instead smithicide;
Corrosive is my personal favorite element, it's useful against everything. I have a really good corrosive sniper and a really good slag one. happydood;

I'm lvl 24 commando and lvl 14 Assassin.
I was just taken to the two surprises in the caustic caverns, holy shit it made my night. Also I don't know how they showed up but there's these Chubby varkids that dropped purple and orange drops and damn I wished I acted faster and snatched that orange (rocket launcher) but I was nice and let someone else grab it. Also I thought the golden key would get us an orange weapon..dang. Can you still do that trick to get two?
i Am currently lvl 29 siren, and started an assassin hes at lvl 6.
i beat it and am a level 36 gunzerker and i think this game was fantastic
but like the second playthrough isn't enticing without buds to play with (ps3 help me out lol)
I think my badass rank is in the 2000s or 3000s now. Some of the perks are really useful.

. . . . .. ... ............................ Fuckin Serious!!!!!!!?????? YES!
apparently, in regards to that bug a while back, which wiped your badass rank, downloading the DLC has a chance to make that bug resurface, and even wipe out your save. so to be safe, back up that save file on a flash drive or something
I'm backing my save up to the """"cloud"""" hopefully that protects me
went in blindly when downloading the update, and luckily nothing happened. Then I was told that it could reset your badass rank. Also isn't there something about the Shift account causing the badass rank to reset?

IDK, apparently the DLC and update dont have anything to do with the badass rank bug. the badass bug is a different bug altogether. thats what gearbox says.
luckily, nothing happened to my game.
oppurtunity reminded me of mirrors edge. happydood;
Just so you know, if you change your Gamertag on XBL, your badass rank will reset as it's tied to your name.
