Finally polished off Round 5 of the Arena last night. Is the assault rifle you get for beating it useful at all? I checked it out briefly, and it fires in a funky arc that might get annoying after a while.

I really don't like the harmony tree, so don't take my word as gospel, but yeah, this is a pretty damn good combo.
I think the final power for cataclysm is better than the motion or harmony ones. Helps that I'm speccing towards being able to constantly do phaselock.
Another poster found this first, but a reminder:
If you're playing solo on PC, you can change the difficulty to get better loot. You just need this tool: http://myborderlands.com/FourPlayers.aspx
I've been playing on hardest and the game is very manageable and fun. You just need to approach everything with some actual strategy and use cover.

They take damage from explosive weapons if you can't get behind one to target the last leg.
I would of liked some sort of indicator on the mini-map where ladders are so I'm not wandering around areas with a lot of buildings or overlapping paths :T
I killed a few with punches before they even finished the crawling out of the ground animation.
What do you feel is different about 2, that appeals to you?
It's not as overpowered as Roland's was since it can't heal or fill the whole party's ammo supply but it is still pretty powerful. I'm getting close to getting the rocket attachment which will go along with the two turret ability and all the other upgrades I have for it so far. Should be pretty unstoppable.

I've unlocked something like 8 to 10 vehicle skins and none of them show up at the catch a ride. Is it really possible they're all for vehicles I don't yet have?
That's some strange odds if so...

Seems fair. I was thinking about this today, actually, and was wondering if the reason they limited the backpack size to under 30 was to counter the loot hoarding in co-op games. If your backpack is fills up quicker, there is less chance of some random douchenozzle coming and griefing your game.
You know what else I like about Borderlands? Is the fact that you can get very vertical if you want. There's still a ton of invisible walls but it's always fun to try and climb things and sometimes there's at least a money chest or something.
Although the timed driving missions can f' off. The unreal geometry stuff is just too rigid for precision driving. That and the cars mostly handle like ass.

Doesn't the map marker show an arrow next to it when something is above you? It did for me on the Pig Motel quest.

Hahaha did I really hear a Raging Goliath say "I'll shove that up your ass!" when I threw a grenade at him?
I watched a Rev3 Games video yesterday with Paul Helquist, and the cunning tree with the kunai is pretty badass.

I think that's what I'm going to do for my Zer0 run, full cunning tree supplemented with Ir0n Hand and the sniping tree up to B0re.

Today I heard one say "OH! A present?" when I lobbed one at him.
It does, but that doesn't fix the overlapping maps issue. You can't really follow the minimap sometimes because it's 2D and there aren't any indications of how to get to a higher or lower floor. Not a huge issue as it only comes up rarely but I know Caustic Caverns got a bit confusing for me in the area around the spiderant/compactor/start area.
The map marker does tell you how high or low it is but what I'm talking about is like a ladder symbol or something to show where ladders are for those times where I'm stuck wandering around places like Sawtooth Cauldron. I did get used to the map layout overtime so the ladder thing is just a minor gripe.

Wow. His skill may not look like much, but its incredibly powerful when spec'd the right way. Don't underestimate his ability so soon.

So I went to get Tina's guest and this dude One Armed Jack came out and he had a (!!!!!) Slot Machine on his back. I died fighting them and his body was there when I came back but the slot machine was gone.
Will that slot machine respawn??
PLEASE SAY YES.

By the time you reach level 50, is there much else to do? I figure most of the game will be over by then...wouldn't be much use having an awesome gun with no purpose to use it for.
And maybe it's against the spirit of loot games, but I'm still not even sure I want overpowered weps. They can be fun to use, but the game is easy enough as it is already. I think it's more entertaining to be constantly experimenting with different guns with their pros/cons as opposed to having just one that rules them all.

I'm finding I'm enjoying Zero a lot more by supplementing my sniping with a shotgun. Sniping just gets really boring by itself, especially when you're going through an area you've done before. With a good shotgun with elemental damage and a class mod that regenerates health, I can tear through stuff pretty quickly. Once I'm a higher level, I'm going to respec and focus entirely on the Cunning tree.
Enemy spawn slot machines are fixed and always have two whites in them.
Loot goons are the best enemies though and really should show up constantly.

Oh my god the NPC's in this game are annoying and never shut up.
Yes! Another recruit for the Shotgun Infiltrator Mob! I was trying to go with the 'intended' use of Zer0 by getting in close with Decepti0n and meleeing, but found that a shotgun was much more effective.

Aside from the pre-order bonus, SHIFT sign-up code and the now expired codes from Randy, are there any other avenues for Golden Keys? Two ultimately useless relics. I'm feeling so jilted, you guys :C.
26 hours played so far. That's more or less a quarter of the time that I've actually had the game in my possession. Ridickyoorus. It has certainly been a bit BOREDerlands a few times, due to the painstaking length of some missions and sporadic difficulty spikes, but I'm enjoying the shit out of it. If only my job/girlfriend had scalable loot. Woe.

Zer0's skill is a free kill on the toughest mob in any encounter to start it off. Hard to beat that.
Ambush+Innervate+Vel0city+Headshot+Deception = godlike base attack + godlike crit for your initial attack.
When you use a shotgun or a rocket launcher for that first attack it is devastating. If it is still alive mark it for death and then empty the rest of your magazine into it, it'll be dead unless it is some ridiculously tough badass.
Toss out a homing shock transfusion mirv grenade(these are awesome btw), find some cover, reload, wait for the grenade to strip all the shields then jump out and kill everything else.

As I understand it he gets rarer to spot
once Sanctuary gets relocated.
Probably 5 times throughout my various 40 hours of play.
I've only seen him like 3 times though I actually got an epic off him in vault hunter mode the last time. Of course it was a fire smg that was worth then one I got from Moxxi lol.

I just got hit by the train in Lynchwood while opening the two ammo crates right before entering the town...what the hell! XD
I'm aware of that. This is my second playthrough on PC, and prior to that point. I know that his spawn rate is 100% before the event you mentioned, and 10% afterwards, on console.
His spawn rate on PC seems to be unknown though.

Goliath: "Welcome to die!"
I did crack a smile at that, the first time I hard it in Borderlands 2.
Some of the Engineer death quotes are amusing too.
"Tell my wife.... ..... she was a bitch..."
"I was two days away from retirement..."
"I just finished payments on my house..."
"Nooo, I almost completed my comic book collection..."

My favorite Bandit death line is "Bury me....with Shotty."
Not "MY" or "THE"...just "Shotty"....

I still think my favorite combat quotes are when the bigger robots say things like:
"Stop."
"Stop it."
"No."
They just sound so irritated.

Seems like you have terrible luck. Purple is pretty uncommon, but not that uncommon.
Legendary's on the other hand do their name justice, and that's fine.
