That was one of the first things Moxxi said to me after tipping....I guess in my game she's on easy mode.

At what point does Gunzerker become a dealer of wanton destruction? I'm level 13 at the moment and I'll be able to get one of the 'game-changer' abilities shortly. Up until now, whenever I pop Gunzerk I'll get lucky and pop 2 enemies then it's me running around, chasing enemies so I can shoot them in the face.
Then it runs out

After reading further it's a known glitch with the 'get slagged' challenge...
I was using the slagga & bee to try and farm warrior. I now can't use a slagged weapon or be in the presence of someone using a slag weapon until they patch it. Or create a new character...JOY!
Does anyone have a spare conference call?

Target spotted!
Evidently he could hit the broad side of a barn.
Of course he dropped nothing worth mentioning. One of the many Chubby Varkids on the way to Vermivorous did drop the legendary hippity hoppity rocket launcher.

What's up with the checkpoints in this game? It saves constantly and when you die it brings you back to those... thingies.
But after resetting you're spawned back at the last quick travel location and you have to kill all the enemies and loot everything over again. Is there any point in that other than to be incredibly annoying?

Does anyone else find that the end of the game escalates a bit too quickly, from levels 1 to 15 if you find a decent weapon it will serve you well for the next 5 or so and your progress through the weapons seems natural and smooth but by the mid 20's on you need a whole load of new equipment every level or be left behind.
My awesome 2200 damage grenade went form being a joy to use to only tickling in enemies in one level up are required the next level 3400 grenade to have any effect, my orange snioer rifle would head shot bandits in at most two shots, next level it required up to 5. I found the progression through BL1 to be more fun and smooth with no need to focus so much on making sure you have same level stuff.

Randy Pitchford talked about nerfing it, so you might want to get one before you can't anymore. Plus they're going to raise the level cap soon so it won't be as OP then as it seems now.
I got this Bee today
but I've seen screens of better versions with greater stats (notably in the shield capacity). Is it completely random or does the quality of the item increase if you farm it in co-op as opposed to solo?
Another random thought that crossed my mind about all the side quests that were left for PT2.5. Does it make sense to complete them but not turn them in and wait for the level cap increase? That way, when they do increase the cap, you can actually get the xp towards level 51. Obviously you turn inthe quests for which you want the reward, but I reckon there will be at least 50-70 other quests left over which can give you a million xp if you turn them in afterwards. That's quite a lot.

I think its random. I have a bunch from playthough 1 and the only thing I noticed that with co-op the level of the shield was higher. The stats were different for each one, some better some worse, but it was independent of the level.
Good to know that it's possibly to do this in Tundra Express (I assume that's the location shown in those screenshots?). Spending hours in Crystal Caverns is a little depressing for some reason. Maybe the music or history associated with that place.You don't want to know how many hours I spent making this happen solo.

Have any special tips for how to get to that evolution? The highest I've gotten is Ultimate Badass.

Omg fuck me. I start the game again and there is a chest where I spawn. I think to myself ooooh loot and open the chest and lo and behold two purple items. I throw some shit out because my backpack is full and grab the goodies run to the next vendor empty my pack and run back to the chest to pick up the rest of my stuff and say WHAT?! The chest is green again. Lucky day! I open it and I finally realize that I just threw away my 2 gold keys for Lvl 10 crap

I was just in Tundra with three guys trying to make it evolve. Got Ultimate two times but then it never killed anything =/ Stupid bug!
Nope,welcome to Borderlands lol....this and some quick respawns at times,when you are looking for something(that stupid marker)is the only bad thing about this series...another reason to play co-op most of the time.

D3 is like that but less annoying because of a better check point system... the only thing that really fucks it up is the enemies getting there health back... dieing in this game is a fucking chore... wish the re-spawn thing was a video file...I would delete it in a second...

Don't know if anyone here is interested, since this seems to affect very few people, but the cause and a fix for this issue has been found:
Turns out that it's somehow related to the AF setting. A guy on the Steam forums noted that turning AF off fixed it for him. So when I was playing last night I had the issue happen again, and decided to try messing with the AF setting (from the in-game video settings menu) to see if it would help. What I found was that changing it to anything other than my original setting (8x) did the trick. Setting it to Off, 4x or 16x immediately fixed the issue (didn't bother trying 2x), while setting it back to 8x made it start happening again. So I left it at 16x, and happily played for a few more hours without any issues.
I don't believe that this is caused specifically by having AF set to 8x though. If I'm understanding the other guy correctly, he already had it set to 16x when it happened to him, so it seems more likely that it's a general bug with the AF that fixes itself by changing it to something else.
Pretty weird, but at least now I know how to fix it. Hopefully a real fix will come either from Gearbox or Nvidia, although given how extremely rare the issue seems to be that might not be very likely.
Dammit, now I'm getting that weird texture flickering again.
Recorded a crappy phone video of it (especially look at the rocks to the left):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr_o0vZzGHg
Anyone else got this problem, or know what causes it and how to fix it? As you can see, it only happens with the rock textures, and nothing else.
Here are two screenshots from the video which really show what's happening (normal first, then the flickering which lasts only a frame or two):

Yeah, you can go back there whenever you want (through the same path) and you'll be able to fight him directly. If you save and quit after defeating and looting, you'll still be in the final area so you can farm him pretty quickly.

When you beat the boss, get the loot you want. Save and quit. Then choose continue. You'll be right at the vending machines before the boss. Just run in and kill him again. Rinse. Repeat.

I'm in TVHM and am tipping Moxxi to get her gun. She gives me the first one, then I tip her again and she tells me again to take a gun but never gives me one. This has happened over and over about 10 times now. Does she not give 2 guns in TVHM?
What's interesting is how much further Gearbox has pushed the artistic direction of the game in the stylized direction.
The artistic style contrast between BL2 and its predecessor is perhaps nearly as great as between BL1 and the original concept's art style. I guess that both the very positive reception of the original game and the apparent acceptance of the gaming community for this type of art style gave them the latitude to go even further.
I mean, just look at the backlash that Insomniac is facing for the change in art direction for Overstr...I mean, Fuse. That's proof positive that the gaming community is pretty receptive to non-realistic looking graphics in a mainstream shooter.

In what way is this remotely true? I love this game, but stylistically it's doing nothing new in this game that the first didn't do.

I'd like to know this as well. She's done the same thing to me twice.
It's even further along the "cartoony" path than the first. The contrast is quite evident to my eyes.

Examples? You have the exact same enemy models in the majority of the game. The environments in many cases are exactly the same. You're literally saying that the difference between borderlands 1 and 2 is as big as the difference between the original realistic rage esque look, and that's crazy talk my friend.
The environments are the same? I don't know about all that. Borderlands was pretty drab in that regard compared to the sequel, and the environment variety was much less. Same for the enemy types, there are quite a few more enemy types than in the first game.
That said, I don't think the art style itself changed a whole lot. They just put a lot more effort into the variety and color of the existing art style.

same. she's glitching out. exit your game and try again =/
whats a good shield with low delay on it? i want to drop ward for my siren
To my eyes, the character models in BL2 are far more stylized than those of the original game.
I'm well over 50 hours and have only one orange. Without farming.
Consider yourself lucky.

At least now we know why they didn't make the golden chest more obvious and warn you that you were spending a key. They know the box is generally full of shit. For new people to the thread, don't waste your keys by saving them for level 50. You will be disappointed. Use them as you level up.
I've looted 20+ legendaries so far. Granted 17 of them were repeat class mods off Terramorphous and 3 more were Jack heads off The Warrior. But still...yeah, the loot system is kinda sucky.

I'm starting the final story mission today in my first play through. Is there a recommended level I should get to before starting TVHM? Is it worth farming the boss or will the loot quickly become worthless?
Edit: haven't done the key thing. Can I get one by registering or checking twitter? (360)

The loot you get from the first playthru is pretty much obsolete the minute you walk into TVHM. Dont waste your time farming.

I feel like loot is far less random in this game. Everyone is farming for 1 item off someone, what happened to random drops that had sweet stats effects?

So I've been killing The Warrior with a junk sniper rifle. Playing as Maya at level 32, the gun does 17k crit damage on his exposed parts....This depresses me that the best gun I have against Warrior was a junk gun I picked up with the intention of selling.... >.>

I'm guessing it's a side- effect of having more consistent "traits" within each manufacturer. I think the system kind of works from a visual standpoint (each manufacturer has a unique look and even the same archetypes of guns have several small details switching around), but as a side- effect you get lots of guns from the same manufacturer that can feel very "samey", both in stats and the overall look.
I'm hoping they can improve it with the future DLC's somehow. Perhaps by adding more manufacturers(with their own set of unique traits), or just expanding the original ones by adding more traits. Preferably both

So when is a patch going up? Any news? The game isn't super-buggy or anything, but there are some bugs and balance issues that could be smoothed over.
Oooooh. Right, yeah I am. I didn't expect it to change the jump and running sounds too!
My guess is they are submitting their first patch with the Gaige class DLC, which releases on the 16th.
