Speaking of funny stuff, I got laughs out of (mid/late game)

Spoiler

the Face McShooty quest, particularly the way the quest objectives showed up. Also killing Dave with the Hyperion mortar.

 

[rouken]

How do I restore power to Happy Pig motel? Is it quest-based?

yup. i think when you arrive there you get a quest called No Vacancy from scooter. you get to restore power after that quest

 

[BeeDog]

Fuck my life, was just supposed to buy a pair of in-ear headphones, but bought a PC copy of the game while at it. And I haven't even played the first game, ever!



what have i done

 

[Vodh]

Finally beat the game... And I'm headed right back in!

[GraveRobberX]

Wanna get this so bad, but I'm holding my ground

Gonna pick it up around Black Friday time, should be 50%+ off, might even get bonus included

Waiting is such a bitch

I recently 100% the Borderlands by finishing all the DLC's that I didn't do before, it's annoying me to stay patient!

 

[Wiggum2007]

I fucking hate Suicide Psychos.

Grr.

 

[Desmond]

Hahah, some of the Psycho's dialogue is gold. I couldn't stop laughing at one who was running at me screaming ''Pluto is not a planet''. And another one recited Hamlet's first soliloquy.


Also, Michael's great.

P.S How do I get that Goliath trophy? I'm pretty sure He's powered up 4 times when I kill him.


P.S.S, got my first failable quest. Delivering mail. I suck at it lol.

 

[Victory Red]

A spider just dropped this gem while I was doing the Bane mission.

 

[Raide]

I fucking hate Suicide Psychos.

Grr.

My main downer for BL2 is how many suicide enemies they have. I managed to die so many times on things that just explode, kill me and leave no other enemies around for me to revive on. It makes the overly long respawn thing so much more annoying.

Rakkman is still the coolest of them all. I am throatscratch. I am the pants. I! AM! RAKKMAN!

 

[rouken]

P.S.S, got my first failable quest. Delivering mail. I suck at it lol.

also on that part of the game, just rambo my runner into the middle of the settlement and rush through opening mailboxes without giving attention to those firing at me. lol.

 

[Ajemsuhgao]

And from that point on, everything I shot was bacon.

 

[sneaky77]

P.S.S, got my first failable quest. Delivering mail. I suck at it lol.

Took me a while to clear that one. I killed everyone first, then when I came back after failing all I had to do was find all the mailboxes.. i just drove the car straight thru the water to the ramp next to the boat.

I'll try that later thanks.

 

[Basileus777]

And from that point on, everything I shot was bacon.

I had a similar level 32 Vladof sniper that pretty much chewed through anything in one burst, too bad snipers with semi-auto go threw bullets so quickly that it makes it hard to use them as more than a situational weapon.

 

[Drazgul]

^ They're godlike for Salvador, his ammo regen from gunzerking guarantees you never run out. I almost like those automatic sniper rifles as much as shotguns.

 

[mickcenary]

The game has definitely clicked with me during the last few hours. I'm a Lvl 13 Assassin and I feel unstoppable. It's awesome. The ability to go invisible and retreat for a moment is a godsend in this game; shit can get hectic.

So, when should I open that golden key crate in Sanctuary?

 

[PhoenixSFT]

P.S How do I get that Goliath trophy? I'm pretty sure He's powered up 4 times when I kill him.

They have to go to the next level beyond Ultimate Badass Goliath. I think it's called "Fatal GOD-liath.

So:
Raging Goliath
Badass Goliath
Super Badass Goliath
Ultimate Badass Goliath
Fatal GOD-liath

Took me a few tries too. A good place to test this is at Frostburn Cavern, they're all over the place.

Either Max Level or if you hit a brick wall for loot drops.

[Rollo Lawson]

This game is cosplay gold

 

[Basileus777]

Then use it. It just gives you two purples scaled to your level, a nice reward but not something that needs to delayed until level 50.

 

[h3ro]

A spider just dropped this gem while I was doing the Bane mission.

I need this gun in my life. Now.

Anyone else using Maya that played Lilith in B1 keep reflexively triggering Phaselock thinking "oh shit, time to GTFO, PHASEWALK TIME!!!!"?

I miss you, Lilith. Maya is a badddd trick, but she ain't you.

Also, Adam, any chance you guys could patch in the "Shops have new inventory" prompt? I know it's a little thing, but during my town runs for checking vendors for rares, I'm mistiming them by moments and I miss the little internal "squeeeee" that I used to let out when I saw it pop up on top of the screen.

 

[Alienups]

Doing missions that are on the same level as you feels way harder in BL2 than they did in BL1

 

[FriedCalamari]

Um, have I run into a glitch? There's a quest in Sanctuary called

Spoiler

'Cult Following: Eternal Flame'

but when I go to the location there's no one there to activate it(?)

Edit: Nvm, reloaded and it fixed itself.

 

[LuchaShaq]

About level 16ish does the writing ever get better? The constant bad memes and other childish but not even in a clever way random humor has made me play it on mute for awhile. I guess it didn't bother me in the original since there was way less voice acting going on.

 

[FHIZ]

I'm nearly lvl 25, and just beat the Wild Life Preserve mission and I am still getting such shitty loot, I'm looking at some of the guns people are getting in this thread and I'm starting to think the game is just trolling me at this point. Man... why'd my usual Borderlands buddy have to get a job on an oil field? We need to bond over some borderlands...

Spoiler

SO I CAN GET BETTER LOOT!

Anyone else using Maya that played Lilith in B1 keep reflexively triggering Phaselock thinking "oh shit, time to GTFO, PHASEWALK TIME!!!!"?

Took me about 15 levels or so to get get over that, but then I learned the ways of the Cataclysm skill tree. One of those gravity grenades + Cloudkill + phaselock with 7 level Helios skill = MUWAHAHAHA

 

[FHIZ]

double, delete.

 

[elektrixx]

I would like the option to disable the audio muffling when my co-op friend uses Salvadore. I hate it.

When I'm playing on Steam, it makes Colloquy on my iPhone drop out intermittently.

 

[patientx]

I want to buy this game, what is the best deal around (digital) ?

 

[Desmond]

So:
Raging Goliath
Badass Goliath

Oh, thanks.

 

[Gaspode_T]

Still can't play Borderlands 2 and Steam support has yet to reply to my mail, if they really make me wait till Japan release date...$59 for a month plus of waiting is kind of pissing me off. Saw someone else posting on Steam forum that they are having same issue after buying from Aussie store but living in Japan.

FYI, you can buy games off Steam US store just by visiting from US computer or US proxy, but then apparently the client can still block you if it thinks you shouldnt be playing the game yet.

I was going to go pick up the 360 version instead but the Akihabara import shop is sold out...I am such a fan of Borderlands and yet so many people are playing it before me, like is not fair sometimes

 

[Krappadizzle]

What stat bonus is everyone spending their Badass tokens on?

I'm playing a melee build Zero at the moment, tempted to spend all my tokens on melee damage but don't know if it's all that useful since I get lots of melee bonus from my skill tree anyway, and the bonus applies to all characters on my profile so I want to pick one that is useful for my other characters as well. Which one do you guys think is the best?

• Critical Hit Damage
• Elemental Effect Damage
• Maximum Health
• Fire Rate
• Grenade Damage
• Shield Capacity
• Shield Recharge Delay
• Shield Recharge Rate
• Melee Damage
• Gun Accuracy
• Gun Damage
• Recoil Speed

If your going melee, I would suggest critical damage and melee damage.

With my zero I focused on the sniping tree and gave as much badass points as I could towards critical damage. But really you shouldn't focus too much on them thinking you picked a wrong one. You eventually get so many bad ass points that it really won't matter IMO.

Isn't this exactly what you're not supposed to do, and something that can lead to a ban? Using VPN to bypass regional pricing.

You'll probably only get a warning for it if it's your first time, but you can avoid drawing the ire of Steam by paying an Aussie to buy it for you and gifting the game to you.

Gave into the hype to a game which really is all that. Especially when playing online with folks and using mics. So good. Especially on PC with that gangster like IQ.

Is that the first quest he gives you, or a couple in? I'd love to go back and get that gun. I think I only did one for him.

 

[AIRic]

This game is not very generous compared to the first or I'm just very unlucky! I'm level 27 and still no orange weapons .

This game is a very strong contender for my personal GOTY. When everyone were saying that improves everything about the first BL, they didn't lied. Let's hope that the DLC will be great like they were for Borderlands 1.

Fake Edit* I am a level 23 Gunzerker and have $26,000. What should I do with it? Slot machines?

I've yet to find an orange gun

 

[Coalition-PezRadar]

By the way there are a lot of legendaries that I haven't seen many people discover. Though one of my favorites is "The Deliverance" which I've seen a few discover (Not sure if anyone on GAF has it)

Is there any way to upgrade the amount of slots in Claptrap's storage locker?

So do you have to have beaten Borderlands 1 to play this?

I could never get into that game by myself and no one plays anymore...

 

[Wallach]

Getting knocked out of sprint every time you activate Decepti0n is really annoying, not to mention that the direction the decoy actually goes isn't determined until the animation finishes rather than when you actually activate. It's something that feels like it should be used while moving and out of all the class skills is the least usable during movement.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Not at all really.

I never finished it and I feel they recap events very smoothly and made it especially good for new players. No knowledge is assumed.
