A bit disappointed there is no competitive battle arenas like from the first game (unless I'm completely missing it). Those were pretty fun (when you mutually agreed not to use action skills) and could of been fun if they implemented it with a group gambling system. Oh well.
And speaking of player verse player fighting, initiating duels is really annoying if you have Maya's melee override skill.

Just get a group of people to slag them and gang up on them. :lol

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
The beginning certainly was spicy, but it's not that hard. 
Atleast, not yet. Since i've found a sniper rifle it's been going pretty good, and the whole turning invincible thing helps aswell.
Really enjoying the game, but there's one big downer; WAAAAAAVES. :/

I disagree but that's what great about the game, so many options.
I still haven't given Zero a try. I'm not big on Melee characters for this type of game. I think the Siren is still one of the more fun classes. The Mechro is great too but I'm so use to reloading in FPS games that I can't stack my Anarchy sometimes :3 I guess Discard is suppose to help a bit. I gotta try that next time.
Personal experience:
In terms of ease up to TVHM: Axton > Gaige > Maya > Salvador > Zer0
At UVHM: Maya > Gaige > Axton > Salvador > Zer0
My main problem with Salvador is his action skill and heavy reliance on very specific equipment to make it work. All the other classes' action skill takes the focus away from the player so the player can get a breather.
Maya works great with any elemental weapon. Gaige works great with anything due to anarchy and Deathtrap levels up with you. Axton has the same advantage as Gaige, turrents level up with you and are so efficient that only a simple slag gun will do.

Zer0 as melee doesn't feel viable until you hit the cap and acquire some gear. Even with a Law & Order setup UVHM is a bitch because of how quickly I get my face destroyed.
New codes. They are from Randys Twitter, so probably wont last long.

What are the odds that they will do a bundle with all the DLC at some point in the future? Tempted to get the season pass but I'm a bit set off that it doesn't include Gaige, Krieg, or the Creature Slaughter Dome.
Also I literally haven't heard a single word about any of the DLC, I just know I loved Borderlands 1's DLC so much that I'm willing to jump in blind. That said, PS+ has the DLC individually on sale until Tuesday, so would it be better to hand pick some? Are any of them a general consensus disappointment?

Im sure they will have a "game of the year" edition sometime the road with a lot of the DLC included for 40 dollars. Gaige as well as extra content with the season pass DLC will make it, but it is tough to say if they will include everything including skins, the new vault hunter and possibly any new DLC past the first season. I wouldnt be shocked, if they did include Gaige and the DLC from the season pass, but they decide to leave out Krieg and new DLC they have hinted will happen with season 2.
The more I think about it, the more season 2 with more DLC packs makes sense. I dont think they will release another BL game for current generation consoles. A new BL game for the next generation consoles, PS4/Durango, is several years out. Im sure they are already working on the next BL game, but it will probably take a lot longer with new hardware, compared to releasing BL3 on current hardware using an improved engine from BL1/2. One way to fill the gap and keep extra cash coming in is to have another round of DLC for BL2. I guess it will all come down to how well the fourth DLC, the psycho pack, season 1 passes, and the uvhm pack sells and how much interest is left after the level cap increase, new vault hunter, and the end of season 1 is over.
Before the last DLC has been released, I think the season 1 pass was a good deal. I would be willing to pay for another season pass, if they release content on the same level of what has been released so far.

I've been waiting for a good price point to jump into the DLC. I have a Siren at level 50 who I beat TVHM with, and I got the Torgue DLC for free off this thread, which I hear is the best DLC chapter anyway. So I'm not really tempted to get the season pass considering it doesn't include any of the extra characters. They'd have to create a damn good bundle for me to consider jumping in.

How do you mod weapons, is that PC only, like from a 3rd party mods?
Also, i don't think I have a choice now as those infinit pistols were level 35 Legendaries and I'm level 48 right now. So it's now-or-never to use them and have any effectability as their Legendary specs have now become the same as white-weapons at my current level.
Question, what do you do after you hit the level cap and get the best Legendary gear? I ask because we spend hours farming to get the best gear, but once we do the incentive of leveling up/looting is gone.
Do you do it to give it to your other characters leveling up, or do you collect everything to say you have [item].
haha, yeah I'm on 360 too.
I joined another game where a guy dropped all his weapons, hard-quit to the dashboard, rejoined(w/all his weapons) and said: "take what you want!" I had to restrain myself lol

Thanks for keeping us updated on all the codes you're awesome

All dam I wish I known that before, that exact same thing happened to me. Don't understand how someone in QA didn't point this out. Major issue when you can't get your loot, when it's a game about looting.
Also, why does it always seems like the best item always falls/glitches under the boss.
Pearlescent weapons we got so far. Some are 60 sadly, but not much I can do to change that except be lucky. Enjoy.
Also did a video for the Avenger. I wanted to see if The Bee had any effect on the rounds it fired after being thrown.

Anyone else getting choppy gameplay?
For a second there, I thought I missed something very important. WAIT, WHAT? ROLAND?
HA, but only for that instant before the 'oooh, COMMANDO/Axton/Roland 2/etc'
You gave me an instant of thinking I missed some crazy unlock lol
LOL I must have been sleeping when I typed that out. I edited my post thanks.
That looks pretty awesome.
How does it work? Does it only empty the magazine after you throw it away or does it keep firing even if the magazine was empty?
From what I can gather, it shoots more rounds if you throw it with more ammo, but the number of shots it fires isn't the same as what you had remaining in your clip when you threw it.
It also regenerates ammo, which is very handy.
I've tried it. It still fires lots of rounds when you reload it from empty. Even more if it's not empty. Basically what Nebula said, and I can corroborate it from experience

I leveled another character. When my assassin hit 50 I messed around for a bit collecting items skins and doing challenges/easter eggs. Then I leveled a commando to 50 and outfit him. Then siren then gunzerker.
Now I got my comm to 61 and I'm working on zero.
There honestly isn't much of an endgame. You can raid or farm. I actually get a lot of fun out of showing newer players all the easter eggs bugs and weirder challenges. I also like trying out all the different guns and setups.

Can't you just reset all side quests indefinitely in UVHM? So you can technically do quests then reset them then do them again?
Yes. Yes, you can.

Hey guys, i have a question: What's the highest weapon/item level you can get in TVHM?
I want to buy the DLC to unlock level 61, but I still haven't beat TVHM and I don't want to be a lvl 51+ character stuck with lvl 50 loot.
But I'm glad they addressed the "end game" with UVHM since you can reset your missions. I always loved the 'Circle of Doom' fighting-area missions and wanted to replay with different strategies/weapons. I finally got a 4-player area match the other days, it was awesomeness. On the last round only 1 person remained alive while the rest of us assisted by shooting from from the upstairs window.

Oh so you're one of the people that get a kick out of helping other players with weapons/challenges, sounds kool. I only know of the Minecraft easter eggs, what' other one's are there?

I wish I knew this before--I'm still in TVHM--so I could've got a lvl 50 Firehawk shield(instead of lvl 35). It's currently my favorite item in the game and saved my ass more times than I can remember, but now that I'm lvl 50 it's basically useless.

There's a bunch. Dark Souls. LotR easter egg. Tannis rides again. Out of map glitches. Double Rainbow. Top of the radio tower. Mini challenges in a few areas. Original claptrap.
I thought you could only reset the quests once you've completed the main quest.

You can reset whenever. Actually the fastest way to level up is reset UVHM, advance to where you restore the power, complete the first Hammerlock quest and then reset and do it again. You get about a bar and a half for 5-10 minutes of gameplay.

When you reset quests, does it also reset story quest progress? Or just side quests?

Did they ever announce the release date or month of the release of the new character?
Well shit. Lmao I guess it should have read up more, oh well I still have more characters to play through.
I thought they said May at one point but I might have read wrong.

You reset the playthrough while in the character select menu. It resets the entire play through.

I just wanted to get back into B2 now the update is out, but it's hanging at the "Downloading Updates Please Wait" screen.
There was no firewall issue, it just stays there forever. I verified the integrity which didn't work and I'm reinstalling it now to hopefully fix it, but has anyone else had this issue? Anything I can do to fix it if this doesn't work?

Strange thing when I tried that earlier was that I couldn't because the .exe wouldn't stop for the game.
When the game gets caught in that hang-up, I have to alt-tab and log off then log back in.
Thankfully my internet just got twice as fast, do it's only taking 15 minutes to redownload.
It is May. June for the DLC. Then who knows...

The leviathan is super bugged in uvhm, i was shooting him forever and it wouldnt do any damage. Or his mouth would keep flashing open and closed and you wouldnt be able to shoot while still dealing with the fucking uber snakes. Thankfully i perservered and now have treasure room access. Picked up a fucking pearllllllllescent rocket launcher tungska, that thing is no fucking joke, the damage on it is absolutely off the charts. Also got a great fire plasma caster just in my first 2 runs and a purple cooldown trinket with 40% reduction (up 5% from my level 50 version)
pretty happy with the loot drops so far in farming. Also farmed a bee from hellquist which is level 61, so the damage is ridiculous when hiding behind two shielded missle packing slag turrets. I might respec down to one turret just for a bit more challenge.

Just checked the Titan's mod... mine lost 10% (40% to 30%) Gun Damage. Am sad. I didn't feel like my 'Zerker was over-the-top either. Sucks, but I guess they have enough data to support a change.
