hide your water-based mammals
Went from 38 to 45 (TVHM) tonight and finished the game for the 2nd time thanks greatly to EmptySpace. Got tons of loot. Just need them legendaries.

You right, he is male! Just need to grind out these last levels and farm the bosses.

The Top Gun mission was amazing.
It was nothing but a bunch of movie references, and yet, it worked.
Also: Cool guys don't look at explosions.
I tear through ammo. It's been maxed. It's typically because I only use SMGs or shotguns unless I'm dealing with an exceptionally good pistol or rifle.
And the basic bandits aren't what I'm really what I'm talking about either. All I've been saying is that the Siren is gimped with a bunch of skills that are worthless or in conflict with other skills/actions.
first go with a 39 commando and got a crazy good e-tech submachine gun, like 1,700 damage
Alrighty, so I'm 14k posts late, but I'm in with GMG's reasonable pricing and 25% off on top that. $36AUD, and I'm alright with that.
I was a day one 360 Borderlands 1 gamer, but like many other games this last year two have swapped over to PC for sequels. Looking forward to this download completing and spending the rest of this glorious weekend watching V8 supercars, BBQ-ing and sneaking in some Borderlands 2-ing. Will now spend some time flicking through those pages and seeing what there is to see!

Yup, one had two mods that weren't for my class, another had two blue relics that were not as good as the one I had.
Damn, I got the best weapon drop I've seen so far tonight. It was an Etech assault rifle called the Raging Blaster. Scoped, extended mag, incendiary, and the lasers it shoot ricochet. It also has the highest rate of fire that I've seen on an AR so far and the highest damage. Definitely going to be using that for a long ass time.
I just used my first golden key and I got a pretty nice rocket launcher. It's a shame I really don't use them.

Difficulty Slider sounds interesting. Game does have one big problem for me in that it's the same as the original where doing the sidequests will VASTLY overpower you.
I realize that's a tough thing to manage though. Without getting into scaling that is, which will cause a lot of mixed opinions and arguments. Maybe a sub system for it would help, if they dont plan to move on from this content method. Something where you can hike the difficulty up and take on rough alternate tasks for greater rewards. I've been wanting this in quest based RPGs and MMOs for ages and no one really does it, or at least in any meaningful way that I've seen nowadays.
Would help a lot with future plays too, although my current solution for not breaking the game was simply to skip chunks of everything until the next run. Maybe branching quest selection where you're more limited in what you can take so us OCD people aren't doing EVERYTHING in one run (and is remembered and highlighted) could also be a good idea.

I play solo because
forever alone
I could see that for co-op though.
I know Gearbox wants the community experience but getting good loot in solo is more infrequent it seems to me and the aforementioned difficulty. Seems like it needs a good tweaking there.
Maybe I just suck.

I used two Golden Keys tonight, got two Eridian shotguns and two purple sniper rifles which were better than the sniper rifle/shotgun I already had equipped. I was level 34.
You appear to be missing the point of RPG's.....

All the classes suck when you only have 6 skill points to allocate into trees.
Yes!
With the right build it's like playing coop with someone that very seldomly miss.
My current build has a 30 second cooldown on the turret, decked out with 9/5 Sentry (more shots fired), Phalanx Shield, Rocket launchers, and now I can drop two of them at the same time.
It is glorious! It's saving my ass so much. Specially on TVHM.
"That guy Zero, Turret; WHOLE BUNCH OF KILLS!"

How is gunzerker and gunzerking itself?
Is it just dual wielding or does anything else actually happen? I think there's ammo regen too or something

Ammo and HP regen, plus some other bits if you spec right. It is a load of fun to run at a boss, bust out the Zerking and utterly destroy it with a hail of bullets. Doubly shotguns does vast amounts of damage but ends up not being helpful if you get downed. I had fun with 1 Caustic Pistol/SMG and 1 Fire Pistol/SMG.

Dual wielding SMGs for maximum damage.

Axton is hella fun, and versatile to boot. I find his turret having tons of utility in regards to how you can spec it.
As for Axton himself, he can snowball in crowded skirmishes thanks to his plethora of kill skill- passives he has available. I personally enjoy speccing into his damage- steroids, although he has plenty of health/shield regen steroids available as well.
I'd call him a safe bet.

For some reason I've been getting a surplus of Tediore rocket launchers with these keys... All of them ranging around 160-170k damage. Not very appealing since I already have a much superior Torque- zooka.
Not feeling so hot with these keys.
Steam asked me if I wanted to upload my save file to the cloud or download my cloud file because they were conflicting apparently. So I downloaded from the cloud (immediate mistake, I know) and now I'm like 3 hours behind where I was when I logged off last night.
Is there anyway to get my old file back? I'd rather not play through those 3 hours again

I disagree with the general sentiment about Maya, but agree that sniping is still useful although it doesn't really take any kind of advantage of any of her abilities. I completely disagree though about Helios though, and it's one of many shit skills you have to take to get to Ruin. At level 50 with a +40% Fire Damage class /+ 6 Helios Skill Class Mod Helios was doing shit damage.
This. I don't personally find myself having ammo problems, but she doesn't get any weapon skills, and most of her other skills either are terrible, conflict with other skills, or you have to take multiple shit skills to get to something decent like Ruin (which in Playthrough 2.5 is not super effective either). She doesn't even have an SMG skill, which is obviously what the game wants you to use with her, especially since she gets class mods for them. But equipping that class mod forces you to give up the Fire damage/chance class mod you have equipped, AND I have yet to see a siren SMG class mod that doesn't also knock accuracy. It's just stupid. At max level in Borderlands 1 with Lilith I felt like a god, here it still feels like a grind.
Ouch, -50% accuracy on a sniper rifle
It's not a sniper though. It has no scope. It's meant to be like
a bow from minecraft. You literally kill a minecraft creeper to get it.
Yeah, the damage on that thing is usually pretty great when you first get it. What kinda kills it for me is that the bullets fire slowly and there seems to be some drop-off.

Hahaha, I love that red text!
I bought the game last week. I have to say that I found it a bit boring in the beginning. However, after playing the game some more (and getting talents, elemental weapons) the game got GREAT. I am loving it again. I really liked Borderlands 1 as well.
Rocking Zer0 at the moment. Question to other Zer0's: What tree do you guys consider the most fun one?
