Are you seriously blaming them? You've played the shit out of the game and burned yourself out. It'll still be there for you later if you decide to come back. For the rest of us who have been enjoying the game in moderation, this is a perfectly timed DLC and I prefer it to having it come out in 3 months when I've moved onto something else.

It's hilarious having that many stacks. I usually go 1 round shotgun for building stacks and assualt rifle with explosive rounds for using high stacks (since I don't have to directly hit the guy and I can sometimes splash multiple enemies with it). If I get sucker punched by a lone badass and fight for life isn't going too well then I switch to use the 8000+ damage Moxxi rocket launcher that I got from
creature slaughter dome round 5
Also, if you're still accidentally reloading, put a point into discord to make that mistake a lot less costly.
She's a total beast when she gets going. I'm seriously going to advise my melee Zero playing friend to try out the mechromancer with a shotgun as I think she does close range better than anyone else. The robot is awesome too, but I under utilize him to build stacks faster. I also shoot any barrel I see since that's a stack (and lots of other unusual NPCs or quest objectives will give a stack if you shoot them and then reload).
On the claptrap hi-five thing:
I melee'd his hand
Farmed different bosses/enemies for a long time for legendary gear and got quite a lot of the same thing.
I'm on the 360 if anybody wants to trade or needs some free gear. Got stuff like Conference Call shotguns, The Bee and Alkaline Bee, Couple of different grenades, few different shields, Legendary Siren + Gunzerker class mods, Rocket Launchers, Couple of different Volcano snipers and more - All of it is level 50.
Just invite me to Sanctuary and I will either trade some stuff or just give you it.

So, is that supposed to be a reference to something? What am I looking at?

just re-roll her skills.
Was Commandant Steele a Siren? She clearly looks like she would be a Siren, and she was originally going to be the playable Siren character. But Jack says
Just trying to guess whether the Sirens or the Vaults are the main plot points now.
that he knows of only three Sirens in the galaxy which are obviously Lilith, Maya and Angel.

So my girlfriend and I completed the game in about 5 days when this game came out, finishing at lvl 36.
She wanted to be the Mechromancer so when that DLC came out she started a new character as her. In less than 72hrs she's finished the game, done all of the side quests and got back to lvl 36 to join me in TVHM.
... Puts me to shame.
Now I need this pirate DLC sooooooooo bad. Give it to me Gearbox! I am so ready. Got some lovely golden keys to use for it as well.

Alright, three more to go then!
Awesome. Thank you!!! I'm out getting coffee but I should be back in thirty. Think you'll be around?

It's a reference to Brick's treatment of your character in the game. Specifically, the mission wheres
he asks you to blow up a Buzzard and, the sub requirement is for you to do it while facing away from the explosion like a badass, to which he says, in a moment that seals the deal for BL2's standing as greatest game of all time, a paraphrasing of the quote on the picture.
They wanted to find the most annoying word possible, then have the worst NPC in gaming history say it a million times.

Yea I grabbed discord, loving how much more active you are in playing as Gaige than the other characters.
Slab is a southern thing, slow low and bangin' basically old school cars with candy paint and some nice spokes. How that translate to a person...no clue.
Mucho thanks for the CC. My lucky day to be home!
No problem. Going to farm some more stuff for a while now. If you need anything else just PM me.

Actually it's referring to the later part of the mission after you drop the beacons on the crates. Brick tells you the fastest way to the travel station is to jump of the East side of the platform. Then he speaks the quote in the picture.

The Veruc when not zoomed in fire three shots in a horizontal line at the fire rate you see listed. When zoomed in it actually fires five shots at about double its listed fire rate in burst. Its also going to a hell of a lot more accurate then that Hyperion smg .

I understand that, but shouldn't a single bullet from Veruc still do around the same damage as the SMG? That's the part that's sort of confusing me, since the numbers display that the Veruc does 280 damage less (per bullet), but on the firing range the SMG does like +3k more damage.

So, I logged in today and noticed that I no longer had a default character. I panicked and the restarted my Xbox. Upon restart, my level 50 Commando was there, but all my badass points and the heads and skins I've collected were gone. And my badass rank was way up there too.
Gearbox doesn't seem to keen on revealing when or even if this glitch will be fixed. Yeah it sucks, but all in all, I've still got all my characters and didn't lose anything of monumental value.
So, just a heads-up I guess. You still can be affected by this glitch.

New game+ pretty much.
Even with slightly lower level purples it's hard! Finks slaughterhouse is just bullshit.

I'm sorry I didn't bother to look at you second set of screens. I'm not really sure whats going on there. Do you have an SMG relic or Class mod equipped? The benefits from those aren't shown on the stats of the gun.

True vault hunter mode. I had to Google it when I first saw it in the thread; oddly it was the very first thing that poppedup in autosearch. I wasn't the first to wonder...
Oh, and for those who don't know; Gaige is awesomely broken. 200 Anarchy + Explosive AR + Assault Rifle Mod = Joy!

Yea I have a feeling they're totally going to nerf Gaige

Nope, I was using a shield relic + terra mod during that time. The only damage boost I had active was +32% gun damage from my skills.

I don't see why they would need to. Almost all her perks have a counter effect.

Playing as Gaige is weird because I basically have to force myself to not do one of the most important things in any FPS, Reload. It makes matters worse if you accidentally reload instead of picking up that ammo, guns, equipment, and cash. She owns though especially with Deathtrap.
Unbind reload.

It glitched on me in between waves, just like the first game. Had to quit to the menu as there was no way out. FFS GB.
You're the best. Thanks! Level 50! Woo!

Alright, what is best path for me to do with Gaige. I like two out of three skill tree, but it was tough decision to decide where I should go with first.
Edited: I'm not used to shotgun that often in Borderlands but I felt that Shotgun is awesome for Gaige and A. Stacks. I noticed other tree path look awesome too. I am tempted with both skills.
Sometime I would reloaded with machine guns or sniper gun and lost all A. Stacks. I need to learn to play different with Gaige or change the skill tree.
Edited 2: I am level 13/14 by now, and I am on mission to to save Roland from the prison.

I just use best friends forever one. With some in others. I'm level 45 in TVHM and it's been easy sailing so far.
I'd advise BFF early and a single point for anarchy whenever you want to get into that. Should be autopilot until the mid-late teens.

This...is...brilliant...
Seriously, why in the hell didn't I think about doing this before...?
No more accidental re-loads for this brave little Deathtrap wielder!
