There was a shift code for costumes last weekend that I missed because I was out of town. Will there be any other way to get those costumes or am I just poo poo out of luck?

I didn't feel ripped off at all, and now I feel even better getting unexpected added value on top of that. :v:

115 dollar value for 60 dollars? Hell yeah.

Were we supposed to feel ripped off before? I sure don't feel ripped off. I got my Season pass for like $16, and have gotten 3 pretty awesome DLCs out of it so far.

Did the Mechromancer DLC come free if you have the Season Pass? I don't remember.

EDIT: Also, it's five bucks. Skip on a burger next time you want fast food if you really feel ripped off by it.

Mechro came for free if you preordered. So if you went with the Green Man Gaming deal (10 dollars off on BL2 preorder) with 25% off vouchers for both the game and the season pass, you got phenomenal bang for your buck.

I too feel that they should continue to update and support their game for years after release without making any additional money.

I think the game and season pass cost me and my crew the princely sum of £27 each so I'm not complaining. Really excited to see how crazy the characters can get with another 11 skill points and hopefully pearlescent stuff will have more than a one in a million chance of dropping.

e: I've logged over 100 hours in this game and I swear I'm still hearing new lines. My favourite one was a bandit delivering a line as I shot him suddenly switching to "Thanks for ruining the last thing I ever said!"

I hope they fit in the entire "to be, or not to be" soliloquy as one of the psycho's kill streak lines, maybe have it pop up 1% of the time to keep it from getting annoying.

Hold up, let me go tell gearbox how I was ripped off because I've gotten to play 3 pretty great dlc's. Should I write a long winded speech or just sling my poo at them while yelling "ripped off" and "shitlords?"

I wonder how many universe lifetimes it'll take to get one of those pearlescents to drop.

Also, I REALLY hope the new character isn't completely focused on melee.

And to be fair, I'm not sure if I'd call all three of the DLC's 'pretty great'. Aside from the hilarious dialogue, Torgue was pretty drat uninspired, and the Hammerlock DLC was just meh. Captain Scarlet was cool though.

I wonder if the shift codes in the chest are unique or if they can be shared?

No, just the codes and a toy chest of questionable size. Also, a Goliath helmet mask and in-game head so everyone can know you have [too much disposable income/too little money sense].

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the costume keys so far both included outfits that have been in the game files since the beginning, and "unlock all outfits" saves already include them.

I actually hope the opposite. I'm really wanting some New Vegas-esque fist/melee weapons in the game.

If you're melee focused you obviously never use guns. I mean it only makes sense, right?

He has a whole tree dedicated to Elemental damage. Unless they pull a brick and attach fire and explosions to his fists, there are skills for guns.

(yes I know your post was sarcasm, but it bears mentioning)

Are there any other trees wholly dedicated to elemental damage right now? Closest I can think of is the Mechromancer's middle one.

Is there anyone who'd be interested in starting a new campaign and playing some co-op? I made it about 30 hours into the game before my old laptop shitted out and I just built a new computer a couple months ago. I was playing with my roommate, but he lost his saves as well.

Edit: I'm Essplode on Steam if anyone's interested.

The IGN article has been updated. It now includes a six minute demo of some of Kreig's skills. Dear god, there's an item in his middle skill tree that when activated, he suicides himself with explosives in FFYL to get second wind.:unsmigghh:

Wow, he looks fun. Makes me belatedly realize I rather like high-risk high-reward types in most games. Were any other characters/trees designed to be high-risk high-reward like they say Krieg is?

On another note, who said they were using 150/100/10/7.5/3/2/1 in cheat engine? As fun as it is, I got like four legendaries to drop on A Dam Fine Rescue earlier in four player, which seems a bit much :v:
