Hey guys - I'm up to about chapter 8 (just saved
), how many chapters are there?
Roland
I mistakenly opened the gold chest in sanctuary, and then immediately turned off my system. It saved the key being used however... Am I totally screwed?
Signing up for a Shift account, then linking it to your Steam account via Borderlands 2 (Main Menu -> Extras -> Shift Code), nets you another key. After you successfully sign in to your Shift account from within the game, you'll be asked for a code, but just go back and resume your save at that point and you should be greeted with a message informing you that you now have an extra key.

"OK guys, I have 30 minutes left to play. Lets do one of those small side quests"
*three hours later*
"That was fun. Lets head to Sanctuary to sell stuff."
Jesus, this game is too addictive, and its criminal to call most of those things "side missions". Once you go into the rabbit hole you have no idea how deep it goes. That's a compliment BTW.
Also, for co-op, how are people managing distributing loot among friends? We've settled on giving each player a dibbs on either a single weapon type or single manufacturer. Its not perfect, since our Sniper Zero and my Elemental Siren both want that blue Corrosive Sniper we just found, but it makes things easier the other 90% of the time.
Any system you guys are using that works? Or what absolutely doesn't work?

We have a friend who hardly ever plays, so we give him the good stuff. Then it goes to the next guy since he doesn't play much either. I generally get the worst stuff.
But yeah, I love that Sanctuary is a hub now. I also love that everything is leveled there, unlike previous BLands towns. So you go there, sell, check the machines, bank, play some slots, upgrade sdus, and talk about cool gear/your build with your buddies. Such an awesome thing they did with that. I just wish they cut the NPC's down because it runs pretty choppy on consoles in coop.
Don't take the story too seriously and enjoy a pretty awesome game!

Wow, doing a new game plus with a partner. Enemies are a lot tougher. I love how they changed some of the enemy skins too, so your not exactly cycling through the exact same looking enemies.

Oh god. YES. I loved that sniper in the first game.
It doesn't just do fire damage. It EXPLODES and does fire damage. So good.

Good, non-Jakobs assault rifles are hard to come by. And when you do find them, the accuracy sucks...except for the burst fire ones. :\

Sorry if this has been asked before, just not sure whats up.
I'm playing co-op with my brother, we're the same level and on the same quest etc. But for some reason when I start the game everything is really weak, like 3-5 levels below us and the gear is mostly too.
But when he loads his character in single player they're higher than him, yet when I do the same they're still low level even on single player and give shit all exp etc.
What am I doing wrong if anything? Bit confusing.

they're usually stronger than most at a given level, and they come with a lot of elemental damage/chance.
That never happened for me.

Doesn't happen right away. Took about 12 hours before mine arrived in the game.
Yeah. You're right. The one I have is a massive shield remover. Doesn't really do much health damage though. But I have a fire shotgun for that

Level 16 and the game is really picking up now that more interesting loot is dropping. Having fun so far.
One small problem, I remember there were times in the first game where you had like 4 quests in a zone you could do before running back and collecting the rewards. Now it kindof seems like they make you go through the whole area once in a story mission and once more afterwords as a side mission. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I miss the more constant completion of quests in the old game.

I'm on the last story mission, and this part made me laugh:
Claptrap finally opening the doors, only to find a huge set of stairs. And then his long list of weaknesses.

This game...
If it had a portal-to-town equivalent (seriously, Gearbox, do it - if I want to farm xp, I want to do it whenever and wherever I want to, damn it) and a couple of other tiny issues sorted (fuck off, timed missions, etc.), this would be god tier, as far as I'm concerned. Now it's "just" demigod-tier. I'm helplessly addicted; I think about it when I go to sleep and when I wake up. It's almost pathetic how much I'm enjoying it.
Loot potential, gun design and feel, all in all great shooting mechanics (better in this regard then a lot of "pure" FPS'), enemy diversity and behavior (how they stagger, trip, limp, burn, get electrocuted, get their arms shot off and their quips and the screams and the dying words, my god, all of it), the pop-nods and references, the offbeat characters and story, humour with a dark edge to it all, the world, co-op (that I don' play, but still)... Man o' man, is it just fucking great or what. I even love the damn slot machines.
Even if not quite perfect, Borderlands 2 is just pure awesome sex to happiness chemicals in my brain and it just might turn out to be game of the fucking gen for me, or at least in top 3. Hell, it's even in my top 10 ever, perhaps. This. Damn. Game.

I've been waiting for the package to arrive on Friday, but - NOPE.
Finished two games from backlog over weekend(Crysis2,BatmanAA).
I know what to expect Razek
AWWW YEAAAHH! Work can't end soon enough.

1) If let's say your assault ammo is full and you pick some up, it gets distributed to the other players, if not, you get the ammo for yourself. You can't pick up anymore ammo if all players are full.
2) Trading function isn't very useful between friends, playing with strangers on the other hand..you don't want just drop your loot for the wrong one to snatch it.
Which Borderlands 2 you got? RU version or regular?

Nope, I rescued him.
Regular, no idea why it would think I need the RU version. I'm from the UK.

Wait, what's going on here? I've gone past that point twice on two characters and never had that happen. I've only had to go there for a side mission.
Do you have RU version of the season pass. Did you buy it straight from Steam or from somewhere else?
Maybe contact the place where you bought the season pass.
Never happened for me either.
Did you buy it from the steam store or other vendor?
A friend of mine got the same issue, but my copy was fine. Weird. I'm sure Steam or Gearbox will be able to sort it for you.
Yeah it was straight from Steam. I contacted Steam support now but not sure what they will be able to do.

Wait... No, my mission ended at the end of that first zone. I only got to the second area as part of a side quest later on. I guess on my next playthhrough I will intentionally fail earlier.
I think it is timed. I did it on coop and we cleared it and that was that. Later I soloed w/ another char (zero) and I could not dps enough to kill it w/o dying and they shuttled him away to another area. The failure mission is pretty cool (hyperion tileset). Not sure if it used for anything else. I do not think there are any additional rewards/penalties other than having to clear another area.

I lol'd so hard on the
side-quest. Played a few quests on Steam with GAF'er catabarez - fun times.
