I managed it just barely with my turret in PT1.

Yup to short, and none of the steam achievements unlocked for me :/
In the order they came out. Scarlett is the best. Torgue is decent. Hammerlock is the worst.
You talking TVHM? I did it around level 40 or so in TVHM and during turret I maybe took down 20% of his life. So I'm thinking your referring to normal.
Mine would go Scarlett > Hammerlock > Torgue

I thought Torgue is the best.

PT1 as in Playthrough 1? I assumed that was what PT meant.
Oh gotcha, didn't know the abbreviation

The map keeps confusing the hell out of me in Big Game Hunt. That and the ludicrous number of savages and I'm beginning to like the whole thing less than I do Tina.

I couldn't stand them either.
you sure its just the witch doctors?
I hope it's the moon base, as well, but if it's only a 5-level increase, I will be sad. If this is the last major DLC they're releasing, I hope they just open it up to 100 and let us go hog wild.
I would hope it's at least to 61 like bl1.
Was it only 61? I thought I saw videos of 69, but I could be mistaken.
Your right it was 69.
I wish it would have been +5 every DLC, and then like +20 or something on the last major one. I'm maxed out and I haven't even started Torgue yet. Oh well.
Edit: Wow, the Conference Call is slicing through waves of enemies like a knife through warm butter in TVHM. I love it :O
Luckily I've only done pt1 with every character. Buy the time I finish a pt2 hopefully will see a level cap raise.

I really doubt the next DLC is going to be the last one they release. With them announcing a level raise, a new character class, and "big plans" for Q1 2013 I get the feeling they're working towards a second season pass.
The DLC release rate would probably put the next seasons pass out around November if they make changes like that.

If you could reach Level 85, you'd have 81 Skill Points to spend. It'd be possible to hit the "Final" skill of every tree (each tree requires 26 points to hit the bottom). I don't think they've intended for players to fill out a character's skill tree in this way, but I could be wrong.
The Mechromancer requires 124 Skill Points to completely fill out her tree (she's requires the least amount). If she had 81 points to spend, a player could fill out 65% of the Skill Tree. You want the player making choices, and being able to go that deep... it feels like you'd just be spending points to spend them (removing the impact of humming and hawing about what to invest in). I'm not saying there aren't Ideal Builds for all characters that may remove that choice already, but more points only aggravates it.
I am perfectly okay with the current level cap, but I wouldn't argue with more badass points to gain by killing enemies and whatnot. Raising my badass level is almost better than getting skill points because it affects all characters and can be somewhat specialized. Besides, level caps are meant to be hit; if we could all hit Level 85, we'd have the same people asking for it to be 100, etc. etc. It's not sustainable, in my opinion.
The hunt for guns may be intended to be their "long term progression", but I think that's another area I'd like to see improved before a level cap raise, if one is even happening.
Maybe they should have given points every other level or something. Obviously too late to think of that now, but I see what you're talking about. I never thought of that.
Heck, maybe just stopping skill point earning at level 50. I just hate feeling like I'm wasting time killing enemies at the cap.

Absolutely! I'm really curious to see how they handle it.

Personally I think instead of making story DLCs which seem to be pretty hit-and-miss in terms of quality, they should just go the full MMO route and start releasing raid dungeons that require top tier gear to complete. The majority of the DLCs aren't really replayable once you finish the quests and you're only left with the raid bosses. Instead, release dungeons that require you to have good gear to enter, which would give people a reason to grind these weapons in the first place.
I got very lucky in the TR, found a decent one about 200 trips in.

I just did this for my offline 360 profile (I have 6 characters there just to store rare weapons) and it worked great.

Is it possible to power level with just one person?
On my mecro pt1 he dropped a level 11 fire infinity on first kill. It makes the rest of my pt1's so much easier.

My first ever legendary was a level 9 infinity. Pretty useless at that point as an hour later it was too weak. Still have it in my locker though.
This would be sweet.
I guess if thats what people want sure.. it would just mean I def won't buy season pass 2
I think they could start by patching in (if possible) fast travel stations and quick change stations at every raid boss. If not, then do it in future DLCs. Something that annoys me to no end when they make a raid boss and then make you run through half an area like Master Gee and Voracidous the Invincible. It makes it more tedious than it should be and people end up losing interest and farming the boss with the shortest run like Pyrocaustic Pete.
I'm still not sure about Dexiduous either. It's not a great boss and the drops so far aren't really worth the time it takes to get the eridium back. The best way I found to cut time on him is have another character at The Warrior and load in with that one as leader, get 99 eridium and then leave and start a new game as leader. Then just travel to the Hammerlocks hut and start the run with a friend or second character.
I like your idea though, and would gladly welcome it. I think this DLC was way to short and it's obvious a lot of people just want 2 things, New gear and new bosses.
PT2.5 begins after you kill the Warrior in PT2.

Ugh, the Toil and Trouble mission in TVHM is a complete pain in the ass. Can't wait to be done with PT2 since I actually don't enjoy most of the story missions.
The Torgue DLC is definitely the most amusing, but the Pirate DLC had much more substance. Haven't started Hammerlock yet, but I sort of dread it, at this point.

Scarlett seemed boring to me. Too much fetch-questing and slow, boring travel.
Anyways. In case anyone was wondering the caps for the badass bonuses:
These are not modded values. These are the legit caps. Obviously, I set them to the cap, but you can get these bonuses without cheating.
To give a sort of idea, here is the base health on a level 50 siren with the bonuses maxed at their caps:
Oh, and by the way, with these bonuses, you can one-shot all of the invincibles with the first pistol from the beginning of the game and can also kill all of them with one melee attack. :lol
THAT DLC WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON IN YOUR HEART
yeah if you want to play for 600 billion hours

I think they ought to cap the amount of challenge points it takes to unlock badass ranks. If it's exponentially negative there's a point where you have to max out 5 challenges to unlock a .1% bonus and it just seems pointless.
