So this is what, a stop gap between BL2 and their first Xbox One release?

Seems so. I see this as being more for the PC crowd than any console though.

Am i the only one still playing this?

Farmed Terramorphous The Invincible about 40 times this weekend, Pyro Pete The Invincible maybe 20 times. The Warrior 10ish times, Bunk3r 5ish times.

I'm decked the fuck out now.

Level 54 Commando, i now have "Slayer of Terramorphous" legendary class mod, "Flame of the Firehawk" shield, and pretty much an entire backpack full of orange, pink, and teal weapons/shields/grenades.

I am unstoppable. 86k shield, 150k health.

Anyone at ALL playing on PS3 still so we can totally be bros and i can show off my swag?

Nah check out Firefall.

Is that on PS3?

Terrible pic. I leveled up right after this. I switched some shit around, but i'm back at 231k total between health and shield.

I need to re-assign my skill points to take full advantage of the class mod. This shield is fucking rad. I just run in, beast on dudes, let them take out my shield, then laugh as everyone burns to the ground with the huge continuous fire novas the shield does.

Got a new grenade mod that deals shock damage on an enormous scale. Direct hit of the main unit will pretty much one-hit kill anything that isn't a boss (and will get some of them.) Upon explosion, it shoots 7 other mine-like things. They seem to be dealing about 217k when someone gets near them.

Ran through about 80% of Captain Scarlet's expansion yesterday in 4 hours.

Firefall is PC.

Come at me, bros.

This grenade mod is fun. Let me solo Terramorphous in under 2 minutes.

This thing RIPS through loaders.

Super fun for large targets. Accuracy is awful, but lots of damage.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1412003166

This thing gets a bit out of control with the other damage buffers i tend to run. I've got +18% through badass points, +35% through my Blood of the Seraphs relic, huge damage ramps from my skills tree, moreso if i just killed something else, and i've been rolling around with either Inflammable The Bee amp shield or another bigger but slower amp shield i have. I've seen a few 2mil+ hits.

How i'm rolling now: 89k shield, 294k health. (Actually out of date... i leveled again about 20 minutes into UVHM.)

I just finished up TVHM mode. Cleared every last mission (including all expansions), defeated (solo'd) every last raid boss, including the hidden one in Hammerlock's expansion, Dexiduous the Invincible. Dexiduous dropped a Chopper machine gun. Has a 1295 round clip, and you can't stop it. Hit trigger once, and it dumps the whole thing, fire rate is 18, which is nuts.


Started UVHM, and it's pretty ridiculous. Getting 2kxp from killing fucking bullymongs in the first missions.

I'm afraid to get back into it and have it all be wasted when 2 comes out. But man this game is fun.

All the red words in gun descriptions scare me. Never know if it's going to be a good one or a bad one. Like the french saying "this is no sniper rifle!"

The french saying is correct. :giggle:

It doesn't have a scope. It's more like a single slug shotgun that just happens to use sniper ammo.


The red text on the grenade mod totally didn't prepare me for what it actually does. You throw one, it hits the ground, and then it erupts like... 8 more out in a circle around it. Each one does the same amount of damage. It's completely obscene, and if you have 8-10 going at once to take down Hyperius The Invincible, sometimes the game will totally freak out, lock up, and you have to restart.

Speaking strictly from experience.

Where is all this awesome end-game content? (Spoon feed question...sorry). I've got a lvk 50 mechromancer and I've only played the base game and "Tina's Assault on...". I bought some game of the year edition that was supposed to include all the expansions and extra content but Steam hasn't downloaded all the DLC or something??

Still having fun playing this stupid game tho

Download all the DLCs! The expansions are the shit and where all the actual challenging bosses are. (Save for Terramorphous.)

There's the normal bosses in each expansion, then a raid boss.

Terramorphous The Invincible (normal game)
Hyperius The Invincible
Pyro Pete The Invincible
Dexiduous The Invincible
Vermivorous The Invincible
Master Gee The Invincible
Voracidious The Invincible
The Ancient Dragons of Destruction
Son of Crawmerax (Not terribly hard)
Wattle Gobbler (Also not terrible hard)
Jaques O'Lantern (not hard)
Whatever boss was in Max Moxxi's Wedding Day Massacre (don't remember this one being hard)
Tinder Snowflake (not hard)


The last 5 are from the Headhunter Packs and not what i'd call actual raid bosses, they're fairly easy to solo.

Any of the others in the expansions are a bitch to solo in TVHM, let alone UVHM. I've solo'd Hyperius a few times in TVHM, Dexiduous once, Pete a couple times, and they all wreck my shit in horrible fashion in UVHM.

Maybe I should finish playing through on TVHM first...

I thought I paid for all the DLC but only Tony Tina's assault works...

They're all still worth soloing on TVHM. Usually drop some cool stuff.

You should be able to solo all of them at level 50 except for maybe Master Gee.

By the time you get to them you'll be leveled up, though.

Started the game over on UVHM. Shit's ridiculous. Leveling up like crazy! Halfway through level 62 now.

Grabbed this for shits and giggles while i was in a group. Sold it for monies. (have north of $50mil now)

Killed Hyperius on UVHM a few times yesterday farming Seraph Crystals.

I'm getting ready for the pre-sequel on the PC. I plan on playing all day the 15th with one of my friends. Anyone who gets it feel free to join in.

Found a fun grenade mod.

Should i be reinstalling this?

I'm level 66 now on BL2, starting to get ridiculous. Rolling around with almost 1 million hit points between shield and health.

Another two levels and deploying my twin-gun'd turret will cause a tactical nuclear explosion.


Installed Borderlands The Pre-Sequel last night and played for about an hour. It's different and interesting. Don't like it as much as BL2 so far, but it's still solid. Will probably go back to BL2 to get to level 72 and declare it "done" for awhile so i can start ripping through the new one.

On Chapter 3, level 7 of the new one. Not sure how much i'm liking the low gravity and vacuum things.

aww man I really need to start playing this again, it seems the activity has skyrocketed because of the release of pre-sequal

Pre-Sequel is growing on me now that i'm getting used to the low-grav stuff.

Game seems a little more "frantic" than either of the previous games. Not necessarily all the time... but when you get into an area that you have to clear out.... you have MANY THINGS TO CLEAR OUT. I swear i've been pitted against mobs of 30 "Skavs" (space bandits) at once and it gets pretty sketchy.

Guns are starting to get interesting. There's a cool machine in the game called "The Grinder" that lets you "grind" 3 weapons in exchange for one better weapon.

We're seen here getting ready to grind for Legendaries.

I'm running as Wilhelm The Enforcer. You might remember him from the first half of Borderlands 2 where he probably wrecked your shit a time or two. A huge man-cyborg thing. His middle tree has a few cybernetic enhancements. I'm rolling around now with robot legs so i can sprint while shooting, a robotic punching arm that does enough melee damage that i can one-punch explode pretty much anyone. Literally... explode. And when my shield goes down, i sprout a huge turret from my right shoulder and obliterate everything in my path. Kindof cool.

The funny part is that the more "enhancements" i get, the more my voice turns robotic. :giggle:

Just finished the first play through, completed all side missions, and defeated both raid bosses. (Solo. The Sentinel in raid boss form solo was BRUTAL.)

Level 31 Wilhelm, shit's starting to get interesting. The sheer amount of damage i do and the "fail-safes" i have built in with my skills tree (Sprouting turret + 80% health and shield regen upon brink of death with a 25 second cooldown) means i'm becoming very tank-like.

Starting True Vault Hunter Mode playthrough this week. Trying to max level before the expansions start coming out, and want to be geared up as well as i can. :)

Is this the pre sequel now?

I dunno. I could probably make a new thread. I'm just using this as "The Borderlands" thread.

I'm not done with BL2 yet.

Nevermind on "i'm a motherfuckin' TANK."

Game got REALLY hard right around halfway through the story. I died enough yesterday i went from $500k to about... $4k.

Leveling up really fast, though. Went from 31 to 38 in one day. (Though i did sink like... 8 hours into it.)

They just released the "Doppelganger" class, where you play as one of Jack's body doubles. Looks kindof fun. If the first DLC isn't out by the time i level cap my Enforcer (50 for now), i'll start a Doppelganger.

Nobody else playing this i guess?

I have a level 60 Enforcer (Wilhelm) and a Level 60 Doppelganger (Jack.)

Just started a 3rd character last night because i was bored. Lady Aurelia The Baroness, sister of Sir Hammerlock.

She's hysterical. Super snooty aristocrat voice, great commentary.

Zarpedon was ranting about something early in the game, and Aurelia asked Jack: "Who is that? She sounds like she eats with her hands."


RIP: Me

New expansion is SUPER weird. Like... what drugs were they doing when they came up with this, weird.

Wow!

I'm floored by this thread. My youngest son is one of this game's programmers :rofl:

i never thought there would be so many guys in mt.net playing it.

Can he hook me up with the PS4 pack? I'd like to move to a PS4, but these are really what i play 80% of the time and i'm a little salty that i have to pay for the games again even before all the DLC has even been released that i already paid for. :giggle:

I just sent him a message asking him to come to mt.net with my password and read this thread.

I'll keep you posted.

LOL! I wasn't really expecting anything out of it. At least this way i'll be able to thank for helping make some of the best games i've EVER played. :rofl:

He's actually reading the thread right now.

i'm sure he'll appreciate your comments
