I dont i will ever feel powerful as Maya. All of the trees are just crowd control and the dmg per sec on all her elemental stuff is weak. im 29 and i think i want to switch to gunzerker or melee zero.
i've been eyeballing that, too. it's kind of weird how the Sentry based tree doesn't lower the cooldown on it, though!

The discolouration here is more that his real face paled over time or that he tanned after getting the mask. He still has the hinges all around his face, but they've been broken. Also, he doesn't look exactly the same 
he's hiding the vault marking and blind eye. Here's a clearer view of the face I found on the wiki.

I'm only level 22 with my Commando at the moment, but I'm going to do Survival supplemented with Guerrilla.
Something along the lines of this:

Gunzerkers: I know there was some discussion on whether Filled to the Brim or Inconceivable was better, but now that we've had a week for it to soak in, what are your thoughts? I rolled a Gunzerker this weekend to play with a buddy who just got the game, and found it to be really fun. Before playing him I was thinking of going full Brawn, but now I'm thinking of going full Rampage.
I flet the same with Zer0. I only felt powerful when using deception. I'm starting a new char which is Maya. I decide between the two and pick which I like best.
Her phaselock, combined with Converge + Chain Reaction + Wreck + Reaper destroys regular mobs. It's also pretty useful for survival purposes, to keep melee mobs from getting up in your face.
She is quite useless against a lot of bosses though. Her phaselock goes right of the equation, along with a lot of her DPS.

New favorite gun.
The pellets are in a 3x3 grid, square, like a minecraft cube. Each pellet appears to be a minecraft flame texture. The pellets have very little spread over distance and they bounce once or twice, individually.
Needless to say this thing eats wildlife alive. Couple it with the Bee and everything dies, can kill multiples with just one blast.

Ughn, the second playthrough has really soured my experience with the game overall. I'm finding that Axton's special skill is borderline useless when faced with enemies on the same level as yourself. My turret gets smoked within seconds of being deployed and will often "fall inside" of certain objects that I plant it on. I'm doing the quest for Hammerlock involving mutated varkids and its been an absolute chore to kill these things. I'm a level above them yet they WILL destroy my turrets from 20+ yards away with their ranged attack.
Any veteran Axton players have any advice? I'm feeling severely underpowered for my level.

I don't play Axton personally but my co-op partner does. I've watched him solo that quest, he was running his turrets with the shield add-on. Not sure how much that helps.
The shield add on does nothing. Honestly, enemies usually break it after about 6-10 seconds or so, the mutated varkid just one-shots it. Useless.

Having beaten the game twice now without finding that easter egg, I felt no shame in googling it's location.
Survival is a pretty terrible tree imo here's my build. The talents really don't help you survive and it's not worth wasting all those points for dual turrets especially when double up combined with longbow and that extra health from it does way more than having a shield that goes down in like 5 hits.

Using Terra class mod to get free extra health 5/5 from healthy and 1 in Prep just to have even more regen for that extra survivability. Works pretty damny well for boss farming, regular firefights etc. Turret tanks, slags and dpses like a champ while I can destroy everything myself.

End game spoiler:
What's preventing Jack from using one of his own Hyperion spawning devices?
What's stopping Roland either? Well, there was the theory that once Roland went resistance his Hyperion New-U profile was revoked and yada yada yada. Ludonarrative dissonances all up in this.
In my experience you get better drops in the world than you do from the golden chest.
I had 5 keys and have used 2 so far. Both times I've gotten guns or class mods that were inferior to loot I'd pulled off of corpses throughout the course of the game.
Yeah...
It's the same idea that make it that in a game you can get hit by hundreds of bullets without dying but one bullet in a cutscene will kill you.
It's stupid but it's a common thing with games nowadays.
The Longbow Turret skill in the Gunpowder tree increases turret health by 110%.
Be a master at one thing instead of good at everything is how I feel.
Having my sentry gun shooting dozens of rockets and machine guns is truly the most satisfying thing to use.
The mutated varkids wrecked the shit out of me (as Zer0) on my first playthrough if it makes ya feel any better. I think in terms of level versus difficulty, they are by far the hardest thing I've faced yet.

You can take on any sides that you won't care to go back an get scaled rewards for if you need some exp, but I just hammered through the story missions.
Are there any missable sidequests?

IIRC you can miss some by progressing the story (but you'll be skipping them anyway) but any that would fall under this will reappear after finishing the final boss.
Ah, ok. Thanks.

ya ruin is too good. it throws slag on the target and if you also get wreck its hilarious how fast you destroy some enemies.
strongest characters for 30-49 is axton imo, 50 its zero and maya since they scale alot better with gears/guns.

I can not believe how much fun I am having with this game, I tried to resist getting it beacuse I already am digging deep in Torchlight 2, but sleep he damned, I will be playing both titles for a very, very long time.
Big improvement over Borderlands, Gearbox I salute you!

It does the grenade when reloading thing, but it flies around like a boomerang as it finds a target. pretty hawt. as is the damage.
Oh, and took down

Siren's Sweet Release is just the best shit ever. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

How do you access the stash by Tannis, behind the bars?
Perhaps a plot hole or I'm thinking too much, but
Why doesn't he respawn from a new-U station? I'm constantly reminded why permanent death is laughable, so unless he had zero dollars to pay the bill, where was his last checkpoint?
Also, any Badass has a chance to drop that head.

Only need to do a couple of quests for the Did it all trophy + one other trophy and then platinum is mine....
I played this game for hours and hours already, did all the lvl 1 challenges, murdered Terramorphous, played most of the game mostly solo and got rare items dropping on me...
But I've never and I mean NEVER EVER EVER seen a chubby creature spawn (for the Cute Loot trophy).
I read he spawns more regularly when playing co-op and I've been scouring the Caustic Caverns for a while now, but the damn creature won't spawn...
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!
(funny enough I had Jenkins spawn on me in practically the first box I opened in Opportunity lol)
