so that leak said Laser and Ice would not be returning, but there's definitely cryo shots and lasers in the trailer

edit: there is also one shot in the trailer which has a purple color but who knows if it's actually slag :shrug:

I hope they have BL1 style level scaling and not the joke "unload my entire stash of ammunition into a rabid nightstalker that oneshots me" level scaling in BL2.

krieg laughs at your level scaling, and at the fact that you use ammunition at all!

Except Krieg's self damage scales retardedly as well so you end up one shotting yourself if you go for Silence the Voices

i remember hearing/reading about this, i'm struggling to remember if i ever actually got high enough in OP levels for this to have happened to me personally. i think i only ever made it to OP 4 :\

why bother? either it works (like 50/50 at best) and then he can react or it doesn't and one of his competitors shoots themselves in the foot. it's not like anyone is excited about installing another launcher.

as a long time MMO player, another launcher on top of the giant pile of single-game launchers is far from new

i mean poo poo even BL2 had its own little launcher for some fuckin reason

On a lark when I heard the news I went and reinstalled BL2. I played it back in the day, but I figure now was a good a time as any to start a krieg playground. His talents seem kind of not great at low level but his active is so goddamn fun that I don't care. I'm level 17 and I've gone down the middle talent tree so far - I'm thinking once I get high enough level to really come online to switch to the "set yourself on fire for fun and profit" tree.

But man though, I picked up that "throw explosives in fight for your life" talent and it is absolute hot loving garbage it does like 100 damage a toss vs my shotgun pushing nearly 4 figures. It seems like he doesn't really have much for tentpole talents that really fundamentally changes his strategy like anarchy or harmony or the like.

the talent you're looking for is Release the Beast, as mentioned above, but my personal journey with leveling a krieg always went Bloodlust after filling out Mania. Exploding axes rules, and if you manage to keep playing long enough through UVHM to unlock both RtB and Bloodsplosion you will never ever want to go back to anything else

thank you. I didn't know how to build kraig.

any time, krieg is the best character and i love helping.

it's been a while since i played BL2 but pretty much all his talents are either decent or good or great, the only exception being Pull the Pin. don't waste a point on it.

Light the Fuse and Silence the Voices scale weirdly at high levels though, so feel free to respec out of those as soon as they start to be a detriment. (Light the fuse starts not doing enough damage to kill stuff even with the final explosion in TVHM, and StV ends up doing too much self-damage for some people :black101: )

edit: here's what i vaguely remember doing with my points back in the day: http://bl2skills.com/psycho.html#51501111550100505500145150050140000 could probably be min/maxed a lot better but it was fun to play

I'm willing to bet you're gonna be sorely disappointed!

Krieg is very much a 'written yourself into a corner' situation because once he's a viewpoint character you lose all of the 'ex vault hunter supersoldier prototype' stuff because he can't articulate it and nobody knows to go digging into it. He's just an unexplainable friendly Psycho to the rest of the vault hunters.

So, on one hand he's very popular, on the other hand, it's not clear where to go story-wise for him. My immediate guess is that he'll get killed off for drama.

Other options that I think are less likely are joining Maya with whatever the subplot with her apprentice/daughter/bluehairedminiclone is, and hanging out with the Children of Helios as they try and fix him (and being Ripped Abs Brothers with Vaugn)

the only way i'd be truly disappointed is if he's just completely forgotten and never actually mentioned anywhere at all, which i'd say has a 50% chance of happening.

i'd give a 30% chance to him just being mentioned by someone offhand or is killed/"busy" somewhere off screen, 10% chance of him being just a static NPC in the background somewhere with no dialogue, and 10% chance or less of him giving out a silly quest for laughs. 0% chance of them actually taking his character seriously or giving him any character development time.

there's tons of stuff they COULD do with him, the reason i love his character so much is because there's so much potential for him. whether they actually bother to come up with anything is another story.

Is there a specific joke behind people calling Janey Springs Jenny Sparks? Because I've seen it other places besides here and I can't tell if it's a reference to something or just a collective brainfart.

also this, who the gently caress is jenny sparks??

Kerrzhe
Nov 5, 2008

yeah borderlands is not a great example for this sort of stuff, even when you have decent ones like axton and hammerlock they still manage to gently caress it up with poo poo like janey.

the most important thing is writing a good character to start with, and it's even more of a struggle when the best character of all time already exists (it's krieg)

"What did he do to your character right before the game?"

He lured you onto a train and then blew it up leaving you for dead in the frozen wastes?

unless you're Krieg, in which case he tortured you, mutated you, drove you insane, and THEN blew up your train and left you for dead in the frozen wastes.

I think the way skills work is completely different across characters. Amara has an "Attack component" an "Effect Component" and an "Elemental Component", Zane has a "Grenade slot" and an "Action skill slot" with two augments for each.

Zane looks actually pretty insane. It's like some weird combination of Fake Jack, Zero and Brick's Blaster tree all rolled into one.
