September 17th. Longest day of this month damnit!!

Long day, because it's a monday, but I think the day before Hitman comes out will be even worse. At least for me. ;)

Also RE6 in two weeks for whoever is looking forward to that... :cool:
 
I'm preloading right now myself! I work nights and get off about midnight est so if anyone wants to co-op when it unlocks hit me up!
 
Preloaded and ready to roll...it's going to be a late night

Here's my Axton build for my first playthrough which focuses mostly on gun damage, movement speed/fire rate as well as recoil reduction. I think this will pair nicely with the double mount rocket turret...

I still have not recieved my code from greenman gaming. I preordered from them on the 7th
 
Yeah, I never got an email from GMG either. Just saw on FB that "all keys were delivered" so I checked my account.
 
Is the Axton guy the engineer'ish character with the turrets and shit? Or was that another one? I watched a video with all 4 of the classes, but didn't remember much outside of the ninja guy...lmao.
 
I'm still up in the air about what class to play first. I was thinking cc/heal Maya or sniping Zero. It going to be interesting to see how co-op is, that might help make my decision too.

I'll probably go with a modified version of that...definitely want to try and max out the turret as it looks really useful in this one.

I kinda want to go for that perk that makes the turret have a shield, though, instead of putting more into the Gunpowder tree.

Axton - commando w/ turret
Zer0 -assassin w/ holographic decoy
Salvador - gunzerker w/ dual-wield
Maya - siren w/ phaselock
Gaige - mechromancer w/ D347-TP (deathtrap)

So Axton & Gaige are somewhat engineer-like, probably Axton more so...

Ah ok, thanks (also thanks errer). I think that's what I wanted to play, a more engineer-type character.

something like this?

Pretty close, except I might go for Overload (magazine size) one instead of the Metal Storm. Maybe a combination of both, but increasing rate of fire with a MG doesn't seem necessary. Especially without the magazine size perk.

I'm totally aligned here with this build, with points in Overload though. This is exactly how I'd plan it out too, we're on the same path here I think.

I'm going 19/0/26 for Axton. I want to be able to deploy 2 turrets.
 
does one feel the siren got screwed in bl2, My favorite class in borderlands was the siren, because she was an all out, point blank, stomp fest. but now they totally changed her to support class. with heals, revive, and a crapy stun instead of her awesome phase walk, im kinda pissed.
 
I was going back and forth on this but decided to pre-order...I never played the original as I heard it was built for consoles with very little PC optimization (couldn't use the mouse to navigate in-game menus etc?)...plus I wasn't a huge fan of the cell shader graphics...but after reading about the sequel it seems like they fixed all of the main issues and is built for the PC this time around...even has PhysX support

fully mappable KB/M, FOV slider, uses Steamworks versus the Gamespy service from the last game which should improve the Matchmaking co-op, graphics/gameplay have been improved...all around it seems like Borderlands 2 is a huge improvement (especially for PC players)

the loot sharing aspect worries me a bit as it relies on players sharing on their own...there's nothing to prevent 1 player from hoarding all the good stuff...they should have implemented a better loot sharing dynamic
 
Looking for people who want to do multiplayer right at 12EST. Hit me up with a message so we can get a group going.

Do not worry about this. Of course the fastest or the nearest to the loot get the best loot. But you never know when you will be the fastest.

Also often people do not take all because they already have a better gun.

Loot sharing worked well in first series.

Don't they have some sort of dueling system for loot now?
 
Here's what I think I'm going to shoot for with Axton. Should be a good balance of health, shield, gun damage buffs, and reduction in status effect duration combined with significant improvements to the turret with maxed turret duration and minimized cooldown.

Hey guys, I'm late to the borderlands craze and need help trying to get the game for $36 @ GMG

The voucher code GMG25-1BW0K-K1A3G has expired and the new one located on the home page says it's not valid... GMG25-AWDF9-Q1PEY

Any other alternate codes or ways to get the game for ~$36?

Probably because the code starts with GMG20, not GMG25.

PCGMR-ALLIN-GREEN Try that one?

If not, you're out of luck man, waited too long. :(


Edit: This one may be just a tad too old...

Really? I used GMG20-AWDF9-Q1PEY like two hours ago, and it worked.

You must be completely missing the rest of her skills. She's nowhere near just a "support class", not in the least.

Her Phasewalk skill has now become Maya's Phaselock skill, and Maya's Cataclysm tree, especially if focusing on it to it's peak, mixed with some damage support skills from the Motion tree, make her an immense damage dealer. Far more, actually, than Lilith every way, going by the skills.

I put almost 500hrs into the PC version of Borderlands, so I'll see tonight, but she has similar bullet dmg/speed perks, crit dmg perks, and abilities to make her main skill, Phaselock, as massive damage dealer.

What I'm more curious about...

...how is the download only 4.5GB?

The campaign is claimed to be roughly 60hrs long, that's one straight play-through, which is unheard of in the FPS world these days, and Borderlands might be stylized in it's visuals, but it's definitely no slouch in that department.

4.5GB for a 60hr campaign and much higher-res visuals than the first, with all that content, seems off to me.
