Creative director Mike Newmann is saying

Spoiler

he bears no relation to Zed, but he may just be fooling around.

heh...are we really asking these questions?

Spoiler

if you think that's not zed you need to take some medication. They're effing with people, and couldn't be more obvious about it. Fake mustaches .... that and the fact that they already said that the zombie outbreak is due to zed in the first DLC announcements

I personally switched to fastness because some shooting is nice once in a while. Also 2-3 red chests seem to have better class mods (since the whites don't have them), but the good oranges I've found have all been in New Haven. (In fact I found the best of my 5 Volcano snipers and a Defiler pistol there when a friend joined).

*Woo sweet new footage. Zombies with no guns will certainly change up the pace, so awesome that they carry chests on their backs.

Did he say 50 new quests or 15?

I heard 50.

lol for some reason, gearbox + borderlands is starting to remind me of Shiny and MDK.

I don't know. Don't care, more importantly.

It looks like a kangaroo riding a horse.

 

[Affeinvasion]

Thank you for turning this into a Rorschach test...

I'm pretty sure it's one of those cellphone barcode things that are all the rage in Japan. My phone doesn't have those capabilities, so I can't check it out myself.

He's one of the artists for the game.

Just found my max grenades dropped from 7 to 3... wtf?

Does playthrough 2 restart all your ammo sdus?...?

Sure looks like it.

Mustache over his surgical mask, nice.

Is it a jab at the Wario Mario deal where they have the same name but the first letter is just rotated?

I think it was just Nick Wilson cackling at you for taking the time to decipher his message.

Damn I want a Droid, by the way.

[Aaron]

DLC is looking so good. Might buy it right on release even though I'm not near done with the main game yet.

 

[CrookedRain]

Does playthrough 2 restart all your ammo sdus?...?

Nope. Maybe you joined someone's game with fucked up settings? This is why I backup my game save before every session.

 

[Sciz]

Ok, fifty-odd quests and five dungeons packed with all new assets for ten bucks isn't bad. Wonder if it'll include any core design tweaks as well. And a real endgame.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

The game decided to massively fuck with my save today and it's kinda killed any momentum the game had for me.

Lost about two days worth of experience and quests because of this.

 

[Hawkian]

This is a known and horrible bug. Respec didn't work eh? Sorry dude.

EDIT: I was able to buy the grenade SDU to get back up to how I was before, but all of my other max ammo limits have been reset and I get "You can't buy that" when I try to buy an upgrade at a vending machine.

This might be because I played my first game over GameRanger tonight... not sure how that applies settings.

:-/ Does anybody know how to edit which SDU you have in your save files? I am decidedly less deadly with 1/4 the ammo.

Come on, patch!

nm, wrong thread.

Should of just edited your save to give your points back.

 

[Witchfinder General]

Just beat it. Yeah, the ending was very anti-climatic. I'm level 36, will the second playthrough be too hard at first?

 

[Hawkian]

I think an anti-climax is what they were going for, but man, that was some wacky shit.

So, anybody know how to get my ammo SDU upgrades back?

 

[Cahill]

Nope. You're right where you should be.

A little bit. It took me a while to adjust, but it gets better over time.

 

[Double D]

Been playing the PC version and am a level 28 soldier. I've been in new haven for a while now, but I've been getting messages about scooter having more missions for me. My problem here is that I can't remember who or where scooter is.

Also, I'm not seeing a whole lot in my skill tree that I care to upgrade. Any recommendations?

 

[Amneisac]

When I beat it on playthrough 2 there was weird bug when

Spoiler

the destroyer died it dropped all of MY loot and i lost all my sdus and everything

I was playing with a friend who was at the same part in the story as me. We decided I should turn off my xbox, so I did. Fixed my save game, but he was stuck and still hasn't been able to complete the game.

Scooter is the car/buggy guy at the entrance of New Haven

hes the guy in the "garage", sitting at the table, next to the car being repaires, right at the entrace of the town, near the thing that you use to fast travel.

 

[RubxQub]

Any word on what the hell is in the Zombie DLC aside from the theme of it?

Need to know if they are going to up the caps or add new gun traits or a manufacturer or WHAT!

MW2 multiplayer is sucking me in way harder than I thought it would, and I need to know if I need to keep a warm spot in my heart for some Borderlands love!

Is this PC? That's ridiculous regardless. I need to figure out where my save files are so I can back them up. Ugh...

Thanks for the assistance guys. Any recommendations for skill tree choices for a soldier?

Cool, thanks. Spares me from having to look.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

No comment on raising the cap is way better than a solid no. I have faith that they're planning to.

 

[Hawkian]

My wager is they are but not with this first DLC.

 

[Hugbot]

My wager is they are but not with this first DLC.

I'm thinking this. Between cut content and setting aside content specifically for the DLC ahead of time, it looks like it's going to be a genuinely good value proposition. If they added 5 more levels, it would just be raising the cap by 5. I'd much rather they hold off and up it by 20 in a larger 'expansion' DLC or whatnot, with full skill-tree support. Sure, you lose out on some experience going through the DLC in the meantime, but if the theoretical expansion adds enough content it won't really matter. You level pretty quickly in this game as it is, it's not like Fallout where it was ridiculous not to release Broken Steel first.

I've become a bit bored of this at the mo. I'm trying for Lvl 50 for the Bronze (wtf? only?) Trophy and on Lvl 47 currently.

I really thought going to Old Haven would have helped me get to the top quickly as it was great on the 1st playthrough, but how disappointing. I'm getting about 1k for the majority of the kills and the odd 2.5k.

So I don't know if I can be bothered to get it now and do more fetch quests.

Hopefully the new DLC might motivate me maybe...

Did you do all the quests or what?

I didn't have to grind at all with my 50 Brick, and hit 50 in the middle-ish of my second playthrough.

I reached level 50 with Brick whilst playing co-op before I even had access Old Haven. Ended my first playthrough at level 36 - 37. Just continue beating story quests or sidequests that are at or above your level.

Level 50 should definetly have been a silver...

They should have swapped the millionaire one with level 50, I had over 9 million before I hit 50!

Getting this today. Don't know what to expect, but I am hoping it hooks me!

I also have a question! In the 360 version, some strange voodoo is happening between a friend and myself. We absolutely cannot join the other's game. He can send an invite and I'll accept, and it just takes us back the the screen we were on when it happened. The opposite is also true, and it happens regardless of public/private. It looks like a few people are having this issue but I can't find a workaround online, and figured if anyone knew it'd be GAF.

Sounds like NAT issues, which frequently rear their ugly head in peer-to-peer gaming.

See what the dashboard's network test has to say about both your NAT conditions (should be somewhere in the system configuration menu) and if either of you has Strict or Moderate NAT, then there's your problem. It needs to be Open to experience as little problems as possible in online multiplayer games that don't support dedicated servers. You two should visit http://portforward.com/ in order to fix it if you know what routers you're using.
