The Official Borderlands 2 Thread: We're coming for you Handsome Jack

Had a great session with Rant and Blaine.

We owned Blaine's end game boss, nabbed him some really nice goodie, then ha the pair join me in TVHM which was awesome. It gives you a really good reason to replay the game on the same character!

So now we have a Turret Spamming Aggro Soldier, a sneaky Melee Assassin, and an elemental powerhouse of a Siren. All we would need is a level 35 Gunzerker and this would be epic!

One of you guys ought to be recording some of this stuff.

I wish I could. That again would be awesome.

Seems I ought to trade back the sentry engineer mod to my 35...didnt think Id need it again on him....but ive been using that class since lvl 15 for the +3 to Sentry (aka ^ extra turret seconds and 3+ shots per volley, good cool down, and a 15% bonus to the skill that reduces cool down

yeah i love my siren, i went full cata on her and the phaselock that does all elemental damage is awesome, im gonna throw in some of the healing stuff for coop which is awesome. and damnit we need a gunzerker!

Befowler and I have had a couple of drunk driving co-op sessions. We have discussed party crashing. He's addicted to Moxxi's slots...

Am I the only one who doesn't suffer from gambling addiction? lol

My addiction is items of the day. You'll always see me running straight to the health machine, hoping for a good mod or shield.

And I like TVHM. The difficulty is a good sweet-spot--not ridiculous, but hard enough to just keep us on edge. I hope it doesn't get much tougher though! If it does, I'll consider respecing in the sniper tree, because my melee damage is barely cutting it as it is anymore.

Only thing I'm addicted to is Eridium - I kill for those purple bars.

I avoid spending money in the machines. I always wind up convincing myself I'll find something better out there and for free.

Giggedy.

Joking aside, I got the Vladof Sickle skin for Zer0 from the slots. Looks pretty BAMFy.

What is TVHM?

And the slot machines are far and away the best things for piling up iridium. Most of my guys have all the SDUs before they break level 20.

viral is addicted to the slots as well, i sometimes spend money on it but i try not to.
@blaine i just started checking the item of the day all the time too since i got that smg.

Tried to face Terramorphous at level 38. I died.

I tried to face him at level 36. I died! I didn't expect to stand a chance, just wanted to see what he was like.

@Befowler: True Vault Hunter Mode. Unlocked once you've beaten the game. It's a NG+ where mobs are the same level as you, and there's a few new, more challenging ones thrown in, too. And loot to match!

Am I supposed to get a weapon from Moxxi when I tipped her 10k? Or does it have to be more?

My Siren was going to be Cata and Motion so my Phaselocks would be quick and draw enemies together.

As for my Axton Im sure you can tell how he is Heavily leaning to Guerilla....

Lol this might get ya....I had a hundred thousand buck before I spent it all on the slots! I also nailed all the challenges that revolve around them exceot the Vaultsign one.

Not meaning to start a flame-war, but I couldn't help but notice the amount of pony-related stuff Gaige has. I'm counting at least 6, why have Gearbox all of a sudden included this?

Well I finally killed Terramorphus at level 42, so that's an achievement to me I just bone shreddered the living hell out of him/her/it.

Have you heard by the way, the bee is now getting nerfed. At least that'll prevent non-stop easy farming.

Well gearbox gave massive nods to many large communties and references that are related highly to the internet. Maybe they thought they could appeal especially to another large fanbase.

Edit: Oh wow, the Best friends forever tree has a hell of a lot of references there.

I can understand that, but if there's one fanbase that divides the internet, it's the pony fanbase.

Well I'm sure a few people will get upset about it, and a few will treat it like something more than it is, but I don't really care, and hopefully neither will the majority. They're skill names, and that's about it, if people do get worked up over it, I'll lose another notch of faith for humanity.

Eh, if you insist.

Fan treatment is ok because Gaige is not forced on folks. As a DLC any haters are free to not buy. Perhaps if one of the four in game classes everyone gets were tailored to a certain community people would be right to cry foul.

Thanks. So it's like BL1 2.0 I guess. Is there a 2.5 or anything, if anyone has gotten that far?
