The environments are different. I share the same feelings about the first and aside from those environments the second one really isn't an improvement. Things are more WOAH WACKY but very much one-note.

This is basically a refinement of a lot of the systems that could have been tighter in the first. I personally don't think they even went far enough, but a more polished take on the original's formula seems to have been the goal.

I'm totally fine with this. It does feel like Borderlands 1.5 but I think thats what was needed. They went back and reinforced the foundation, and now its a good launching point for doing wackier stuff in the next game.

The only missteps I can see are the INI stuff and the inventory system.

I'd like to see them bring in more cliched RPG stuff, like crafting and housing and minion based classes (like the Mechromancer or someone that depends on groups of minions). I think the game would also greatly benefit from a more open world concept, so players could have access to things like boats + flying vehicles.

Also bring back the old classes without the weapon skills.

I'm running Axton with a sniper rifle and the Jacobs M1 Carbine-like semiauto rifle thing. Hyperion can eat poo poo and die because ain't nothing stopping me with this build.

I'm having the opposite problem with Axton that I had in Borderlands: I can't decide which tree to build on because all of these skills are so loving good.

Salvador has the original problem, I couldn't figure out what I'd want from his starting skills, and only started putting points into his middle tree because the rest seemed crappy. He seems really cool but I'm getting the vibe of "Brick but more emphasis on gear" from him.

I read somewhere before release in a dev interview that gearbox made it so it unofficially supports it. There should be stuff out there soon to mod it in. Gearbox didn't want to have to spend time refining it to be a release feature but knew some folks out there would want it and wouldn't mind having it be a glorified hack.

I've been working my way up the Motion tree to get Converge. It's going to be fun to phaselock a group of enemies then make them eat something explosive.

After that point I'm going to drop some points into Sweet Release in Harmony, not entirely certain if I need to drop a full 5 into it.

I'm not sure where I'll go from there though, probably the rest of the way down Motion. I really like Phaselock, and if that final ability is affected by Converge I'm going to be laughing my head off at the head of an army of minions.

The search feature is giving me errors right now, so I don't know if this has already been asked:

I picked up an SMG with the red text of "I have a Soldier, a Siren, two Scooters and a Claptrap", but I can't tell from using it what that mod does. The SMG has very low stability and has electrical shots, but those just seem to be normal features of SMGs and another mod on the weapon, respectively. I tried Google and the BL wiki. Anyone have any idea what it means?

I'm finally able to play this game. I sent support tickets to 2k and Gearbox the morning of release after spending almost 10 hours uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing redists, and verifying the game cache. Neither of them ever got back to me. Every time I tried to launch the game I got an error stating "Borderlands 2 launcher has stopped working." Finally I find this:

quote:

Create a .txt file in notepad and write the numbers '49520' without the ' '. Save it as 'steam_appid.txt' and save it in your Steam directory 'Steam\steamapps\common\Borderlands 2\Binaries\Win32' and run Borderlands2.exe as admin.

And I do it and the game works. I have no idea why putting the steamapp ID in that folder changes anything but lo and behold :psyduck:

You don't need to put many points at all into Harmony to be effective at keeping your team alive. Res alone makes things infinitely easier.

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
Found this on my Level 7 Commando. I had already selected a skill that caused my health to regenerate after my shields were topped off. This makes that really easy. The drat thing regenerates almost immediately after getting hit, and then my health starts climbing again.



Sure, it might be obsolete in the future, but for such a low level? Get out of here.

Also, I just spent the last 30 minutes screwing with Goliaths. Pop their head off and kite them around so they wreck other opponents, level them up, and then take them down. It's so simple, but so fun.

Keep this around. Seriously, clear up to level 50. Keep that shield in your "Twink" storage. You can make some OK builds around those "on shield depletion", or "when shields are full" effects (if not both). I haven't really made a build for any of it. Been waiting for a shield like that to drop, then sit down and figure out how to make it work.

How much of a pain is it to keep people topped off with active shooting healing? My Maya is going for a more passive healing spec so I can focus more on CC and shooting people in the face.

Turn around from that chest and keep your eye on the right side of the hallway. There's a ladder next to a cell, climb up, walk along the pipes, and you'll come to a room with switches for all the cells in that area.

The keys are shared across all saved games but apparently creating profile.bin while saved games are already in the folder make it so they don't work with the new profile.bin.

Moving those saves into there after the fact DID work for someone else in this thread. I haven't found the post yet though. It's somewhere between 4 and 10 pages ago.


Edit: I'm wrong. Saves may just not work on a new profile.bin at all. You're probably out of luck

That switch is useless, you need to:
Go up the nearby stairs, jump over the railing and onto the pipes in the air, run across them into the second story room with a pile switches and open them all.

If you are at the cell with the chests, facing it, turn 90 degrees right and look at the far wall. There's a window up there above the pipes on the second story. That's where you need to go.

Phaselock doesn't last long enough for Elated to do anything of value IMO, unless you either have like 10 Elated or 10 Suspension via class mods. Keeping people topped off with Sweet Release/Restoration and Wreck is so much easier. If you're feeling lazy, just pull out a rocket launcher of some variety. Plus, this way you can heal them without needing to phaselock anything.
