the Geary / LOTR easter egg, do you have to finish the playthrough you're on to get the loot? Do you have to do it in SP? I just tried to do it with my friend and it didn't work.

also any shift codes possibly this weekend?

I got a Conf. Call on my first warrior kill in PT1. Is that scripted?

Not exactly. You have something like a 90% chance of getting a legendary item off his table when you finish the story quest. That includes the second time you finish the story quest on TVHM mode. Could have been one of the other ones (ex. Volcano, Impaler, Flakker).
 
I was in Trader Joe's today and cracked up because two guys were talking about Borderlands 2. Crunchy granola people with secret lives looting guns on Pandora!

Well, I'm up to level 13 now. Still nothing but junk weapons/equipment for the most part, but enjoying the game. I can see the quests getting fairly repetitive pretty quick, though. Jack and the other characters help with that, but I don't feel like I'm one of those people that's going to be able to play this game multiple times. Probably once will do it for me.

Going to do some level 50 looting and Boss runs (Warrior, Terra, Knuckledragger, Flynt ect). Got a few legendary items people can have as well.

If anybody wants to join me then message me on live - GT = Shogun Pain.

Can also jump in and help anybody who is stuck.

My game just glitched. It kept giving completions for "slag-licked" and over. 350+ times in an instant. My inventory got swamped with 350 copies of the same skin and now I have over 70000+ badass rank with 300+ tokens.

edit: I dashboarded and retried it, the glitch is here to stay. I've 99966 badass rank now. I don't want to get reset because gearbox messed up!
 
It's helpful since you can't ADS. Just be aware that hyperion guns are bugged with it and don't actually increase accuracy when it procs.

For 1 point I think it's well worth it.

Will I see a big improvement in Gunzerking with shotguns? That's the main reason why I'm looking into it.

Otherwise I'll switch to Gunlust and come back to it later

I'm level 30 on the last mission...got a bunch of side quests but...I'll be honest, I'm not feeling them right now. Should I grind some out or would I be good to finish the game now?
 
i was wondering, are there side quests that are only available at a certain time?

cause im in playthrough 2, and im just doing story missions and not evening talking to "!" for side missions cause I'm saving them for my 3rd playthrough. :p

It's been said to only work in PT2 and beyond. Doesn't have to be SP, but must be done without fast traveling or dying and in a single session. Did you let him hit you once and only once?
 
this is my problem tho. sorry for the rape of questions. just wanna make sure.

so since i should save the blue side quests for when im level 50, how can I know which side quests are just color green? Is it fine to look at the quest (talking to the "!") but not accepting it? (if its blue)

Just dont do any side quests until 2.5...
 
Does Anarchy affect weapons differently? I'm at 150 stacks and doing tons of damage, but if I scope a sniper rifle I'm not noticing much of a loss of accuracy. On my pistol though the bullets fly all over the place. Definitely feeling the lack of accuracy there. Really liking Deathtrap. He makes going through the game again cake. He destroys most bosses and if Raks are bothering me, I just take him out and they're toast. Ditto for helicopters.
 
Something unsettling about Deathgrip and how it catches up to you when you run around. Can't really explain why but it just seems eerie. Love the class though.

yeah did everything I normally do except with my friend, we aren't level 50, we let him hit us once and then he just meanders about, normally he goes straight for the lava after he hits me

I noticed that it looked ok by the bullets, when fired, went off course

Any PS3 players who are just starting out need a decent weapon?

Just started one of my Mechro playthroughs and I found this laying in the 3rd or 4th chest that I opened.
 
I was lucky enough to run across a Thunderfist on my Gaige playthrough and respeced to little big trouble from ordered chaos. Its by far the flashiest of the three trees with electrical effects going off everywhere when you use it and its also my favorite Death Trap look of three, but because of the focus on precise kills it seems make Anarchy counter intuitive. I don't have access to a full build yet, but I think it might be the weakest tree. Its still a lot of fun though!

you mean a Thunderball, right? and yea, I can't wait to see what my level 50 Thunderball does when I finish maxing out the middle tree. :D
 
I'll spend my tokens on upgrading my character and all of sudden everything is reset. So it's back to square one. Is this common or am I missing something? It also happens with skins. I'll unlock skins/heads and the next time I play the game they're not there.

Yeah..that's not normal. Sounds like a bug or a glitch or something.
 
Lvl. 44 Zero, Lvl. 42 Gunzerker, Lvl. 10 Mechro, and damn if she doesn't feel a bit too overpowered. It nice in the sense that I'm steamrolling through all the same missions I've seen 4 times already(as my previous 2 character are on TVHM) but damn if she isn't O.P. I love it. We'll see how she handles in the harder difficulty.

Shock is nice because nothing is actually weak to shock. You get the benefit of stomping shields and the occasional DoT bonus without worrying about a baseline weakness, unlike fire or corrosive. It's a great element for your "default" weapon rather than filling a specialist role (though it is always nice to have at least one to put stalkers on notice).

Edit - As for slag, it's pretty amazing for bosses. The only element of grenades I generally use is slag. Using a slag weapon when solo to maximum benefit is hard though, just because the duration of the weakness is really short.

I adore the flame turret grenades. Hurl a few of those together and the damage they can put out is absolutely ridiculous.

Started TVHM last night. Is the general consensus that the best way to approach it is do exclusive story mode then the side quests after completion then? Cheers.
