So how are people doing with finding all the hidden vault symbols? I can't find a single one in

There is some good stuff in there, but only rarely. BL2 doesn't throw blue/purple/orange stuff at you nearly as often as BL1, be it drops or shops. When I finished my second playthrough I still had a bunch of green items in my inventory.
Thanks for the advice on protecting Overseer, I think I'll try tomorrow.
I'm currently level 28 deadly sniper, I've done nearly every side-quest up to this point (including the stuff at Lynchwood) and I'm doing the Opportunity missions now. Would I need to do some serious grinding for the rest of this playthrough to reach level 50? I didn't get anywhere near close to that in the original.

I'm sure it's been posted before but I got her second gun by just tipping hundreds, not thousands. I spammed the hell out of it though but it worked.

Assuming you do every side quest along the way, the earliest you'll be able to hit level 50 is around the halfway point of TVHM.
I have to say I think I really must be no good at this game... I don't know whether it's my play style or class or what, but I'm finding I'm dying a real lot. I'm at level 9 with zero and 5 with Axton (rerolled since I thought zero wasn't solo friendly enough) but have found the game to be more frustrating than fun. I played the hell out of the first game for reference.
Any tips for me? Is it just me?

Thanks! Looking forward to TVHM.

Btw; who's the biggest badass around here?
My rank is about 8000 now, I think, with 45lvl and 22lvl characters and I'm puting points into twelve categories. I wonder when does the dreaded 0,1% increase kick in. At categories around 7,5% I'm getting 0,4% increases, so probably at 10% or so.

At categories around 7,5% I'm getting 0,4% increases, so probably at 10% or so.So immediately after picking this up and starting the game, two of my IRL friends immediately jumped in the game (at level 17 and 11 respectively), gave me some guns, and were just killing stuff right and left and I didn't even know what the hell was going on. Hell, I couldn't even put a dent in most enemies. I had to stop playing because I was just confused on what the hell was going on (didn't even really get used to the controls or anything).
I imagine that this is not the optimal method on how to play this game.

Since the gun is scaled to your level (is it?), it's probably also scaled in regards to how much it costs. I think that's the reason we're getting such different reports on how much you need to tip. Could be wrong.
Play solo or with similar level players. Higher players will be overpowered in your game.
Depending on how fortunate you are with weapon drops you can feel like a wimp or really overpowered. Make sure to use elemental attributes on guns to your advantage, fire absolutely eats up flesh. Don't be afraid of your action skill, it's not an OH SHIT button, it's something you should regularly be using. Also make sure you're critting enemies.
I done some of the shittest missions in the game as Zero
Wildlife mission and getting to floating sanctuary
Zero's stealth abilities are probably some of the greatest distractions and are perfect for me. I let them all cluster up together fighting the clone and then use either a shotty or a pistol with melee effects and go to town.
What is your setup and level your own now? It might be your weapons?

I personally feel that it gets easier once you start getting used to the new enemy staggers and dodges.
Also, when fighting more difficult enemies it's useful to keep a few weak enemies alive in case you die so that you can kill them while in Last Stand.
I played a crap load of B1 as well and this game is definitely more challenging. I just feel like the shields in this game are much weaker than in the first game. It's much more important to hide behind walls and use long range weapons if you don't have a decent shield.
Btw; who's the biggest badass around here?
I just hit 10,000 badass rank
I love Zer0. Deception is great especially when you want to gain a tactical advantage like using goliaths against everybody else. I love using sniper rifles and his melee skill, although I've been using the sniper rifle skill tree much more.
I'm just glad I have a pretty damn powerful shotgun for my level which has been so useful, and I like to use shock, fire shields most of the time.
I love it when a Rakk comes swooping down to hit you and it screams in pain after it gets burnt after hitting your shield. It's a lovely feeling.

I don't know about being scaled for money. I got the first one in my early 20's and the second one (spamming 100's) at about 26 or so. It definitely had better stats but I'm away from my 360 now and can't check.

Yeah, there's no better way to spend money in this game. The only good thing about the vending machines is the extremely low chance of finding a legendary inside as the Item of the Day. Other than that I have yet to find an item in there that was superior to what I was already using. The vending machines in the original game weren't great, but they were still better than the ones in the sequel.

Yeah, I've gotten some shields, class mods and grenade mods out of them but I've never bought a gun.

Eridium becomes useless once you have bought everything from the black market with it...why can't we trade it for cash or use it in slots or something? I've got 99 Eridium and can't spend a one.

Dumb question, yo: the exact same weapon can have varying statistics based purely on your level, can't it? Does this apply to every weapon, or are there some that are locked regardless of when you attain them?
I'd be happy if I could at least trade it or something, maybe make my new characters not have the ammo/storage concerns in the beginning. One can dream, but yes it does become useless

Cold Steel and All-Seeing Eye look really nice together.
Gives Gearbox something to add in the DLC
I hope this isn't the terramorphous head drop cause i didn't want to spoil it...
I'm at 10160 Badass rank. I've been spreading them out, so the lowest increase I've seen is 0.4%.Btw; who's the biggest badass around here?
I'm surprised the BL2 slots phenomenon hasn't meme status yet.
Yeah was me. I want poker and more gambling stuff. They could do skagg racing or something.
Or put one of Scooter's vehicle on a turning stand near the entrance that you could win with the slots lol.

Wow that would be amazing, great idea!
Wish I could get some cool skin/head drops. I kinda dig the customization aspect and hope they take it further in 3.

What do you commonly get heads from? I've only found two so far and am up to Eridium Blight.
Anything. Vending machines, bollymong/skag/stalker/etc crap piles, killing things, quest rewards.

this game actually has me thinking about getting the season pass. I have BL1 but none of the expansions. does gearbox deliver is regards to DLC?
anyone know what items are shared across your account/profile? so far all im aware of is BadassRank, Skins and Golden Keys.

A few drop from bosses, a few are quest rewards, a couple drop from hidden enemies, and one can drop from any badass. Apart from that, you get one from having a BL1 save and another for having the CE.
Gearbox has said that all 4 are comparable in size to Knoxx.

3 out of the four were at least good imo. I'm not a big fan of Season Passes but I took a chance with this one because Gearbox delivered with the last game.
Yes, everything except the Moxxi one was excellent. Among the best single player DLC for any games.
If you are on PC you can still get the Season Pass for 20% off on GMG (the promo code ends tonight so better hurry).
This just happened to me as well. I love the game, so I'm not going to stop because of it, but losing 3-4% bonus on just about everything is a kick in the groin. It seems like playing co-op split/screen increases the chances of this glitch.

Do you get a gun on true vault hunter mode from moxxi for tipping?
Yeah, I waited until 50 to do it and they were fantastic.
