Finally!  A dedicated Borderlands 2 thread!

Well I roll with just two characters:

Level 50 Siren - Maya
Level 32 Mechromancer - Paige

I mostly solo as I really haven't tried to find anyone other than my brother and friends to play with.  I finished the Captain Scarlett DLC with my Siren in TVHM while I finished the same DLC with my Mechromancer in NM.  I have to say that the Captain Scarlett DLC proved to be a challenge compared to the base game.  As for my favorite weapons ... Tediore E-tech for my Mechromancer while my Siren is equipped with Seraph weapons.

If you do a search on Youtube, you can find out how to play with Japanese voices (with English subs).  Some voices sound better while other voices don't "translate" well.

I'll introduce you to my sexy friends later, but first, Happy Halloween!

Next skin coming up is for the Gunzerker, so supposedly there's a customization for all of them. Codes are only valid until Nov. 4 so take a break from rolling the slot machines and be sure to redeem the codes!

I'd suggest following GearBox's Twitter (http://twitter.com/GearboxSoftware) since they're also distributing keys for the Sanctuary chest from time to time.

Heh, copy-paste works wonders with these Shift codes.  I'll give these skins a look when I get around to it (got back to playing ME3 after I told myself to stop).

Props for making the thread, Stryfe! :thumbsup

I never really got into Borderlands but I frickin' love Borderlands 2. It's pretty much Borderlands on steroids: better plot, better characters, funnier moments and bigger fucking guns. I started playing solo with Axton but I never got that far due to lack of free time. I simply don't have time to play with more than one character. Anyways I'm using Salvador (lvl 45) whenever I play with Stryfe. Salvador's gunzerking and Maya's phaselock is one deadly combo :yep:

Here's my current build:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip05822.jpg)

I went straight for the tank skill tree but lately I have been falling in love with the Rampage tree because of all the gunzerking related skills. Thanks to 'Last Longer' I'm often still gunzerking after the battle is already over. Also gunzerking with two rocket launchers is fucking awesome, it does an insane amount of damage no matter how badass the enemy is. The only thing that sucks about it is that I'm spending a lot money on rockets  :sweatdrop:

Been rockin' these two launchers lately:

The perfect relic for any launcher lover:

Dat midget ninja skin.

Getting ready to blast some loaders in Opportunity:

The only orange weapons I have found so far:

I never really used the Gub cuz I was already around lvl 23-24 when I found it but I've been rockin' Sledge's Shotgun ever since I got it. Easily the best shotgun I have ever had.

So, who else is playing? what are your characters? Fave weapons? Bosses, moments, pics, videos? Try to avoid huge plot spoilers, though. :P

My favorite NPC is mos def Tiny Tina:
Borderlands 2: The Wise Words of Tiny Tina [HD] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z7SfF5lXMQ#ws)
The upcoming DLCs better have more Tina :yep:

Two awesome side quest guns:

Well ok, there's absolutely nothing awesome about Bane but at least Morningstar is worth using :P

Corrosive Stinkpot (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Stinkpot) might not be my favorite gun but I have been using it since I got it:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip05820.jpg)
I'm at lvl 45 atm but the good ol' Stinkpot still comes in handy against dem Loaders.

Anyways, anybody wanna join us? There must be more euro-HiPsters playing the game :yep:

In the words of Bart Scott, "CAN'T WAIT!"  I'll be looking forward to trying out the Mr. Torgue DLC (bought the Season Pass to save a little on the overall DLC cost).  Also, GB actually nerfed the almighty Bee a little bit (I never got that shield anyways so I'm not too concerned).  Finally, I just got my Mechromancer to level 50 a few days ago (been meaning to try and finish TVHM with her before the end of the month).  Now my Siren and Mechromancer are both level 50 with about the same gear.

Man, I'm anxious as hell for tomorrow.  Gonna download it late tomorrow since I have class just about all day.  I'm definitely gonna play it with my Siren.  However, I'm kinda having doubts about finishing the game with my Mechromancer since I can't find a balance between using my weapons and using DT.  Hell, using DT makes the game seem slower.  I had a lot more fun Phaselocking a group of enemies every 30 seconds.

As for class mods, the Terramorphous class mods aren't too bad as long as you're satisfied with just a lot of extra health and burn damage.  Otherwise, the Legendary class mods are better since they provide slightly better skill bonuses.

If your copy came with the Season Pass, the DLC is pretty good (despite what others out there say), especially the newest one.  The Mechromancer isn't too bad of a class.  Just don't abuse her action skill since it can make the game feel like a drag (in terms of soloing at least).

I'm really tempted to get this after my friend was telling me how downright awesome it is, but I'm pretty sure my laptop can't handle it. I'd usually start lagging after 20-30 mins in the first Borderlands game and that was on the lowest quality graphics :/ Really want it though.

I've been using turret guy for my whole game. around lvl42 now. perfect for lazy guys like me. :sweatdrop:
Played the Scarlet DLC, and a little of Torgue.
Found the bar in Torque was pretty fun (place where they held your new sponsor). I kept playing the mission's wave 3 of lvl52 badass clearing. Totally normal to not finish it in time with my character, failing, and play again. Totally sounds like a place to quickly level up characters, get lvl50 weapons and Torque coins online.

Got bored after a few rounds though. So I'm starting the story all over with the mechro-girl.
Every time she melee attacks it sounds like she's having a baby or something though...jeez~~ :banghead:

Got Borderlands 2 on PS3 and have been playing with my cousin, though it's hard to find a time when we're both free. It's damn awesome, but I don't think I'd be motivated to play it through to the end going solo. We're intending to skype through our laptops whilst playing, because banter is such a big part of the experience. Banter and strategising, i.e. yelling "RUN AWAAAYYYYY" :sweatdrop: We could get PS3 headsets, but not bothered paying $40 for it.

I haven't played much since the game arrived last week, so am only level 12, but I'm the assassin. It seems fitting that I'm mostly a sniper, because I'm such a huge coward. When I'm being swarmed or see a strong enemy, I leg it and only once I've gotten into a suitable position or have been cornered will I go back on the offensive. I'm also really terrible at getting headshots on sitting ducks, though once I'm in the heat of battle, my accuracy goes up to the point that I can usually ignore enemies' shields.

Borderlands 2 Level Increase and Other Changes

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 Pearlscent-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 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!
