Borderlands 2

[sesselpupser]

The Borderlands 2 difficulty mod which emulates up to four players when there's only one in order to increase the difficulty but also increase the quality of loot: Is this cheating? Discuss!

I think I'm going to give it a try, my internet connection is too fragile for me to do things like fight Vermivorous with other people, last time I tried I got disconnected seconds before he died and then when I got back in the game all the loot was gone... And I was the only one even trying to revive people the entire time.

(Note: if you want to use it, be very, very careful to close it when you've finished playing. It's a memory hack tool which will definitely upset Valve Anti-Cheat, Punkbuster and other anti-cheat services and get you banned regardless of what you're playing!)

Edit: Yep, that certainly is more difficult. It's gone from being hard with normal loot to very hard with slightly above average loot. I've so far managed to find two purple vehicle skins in Skag piles but apart from that the weapons are very average.

I did some testing in the treasure room and found out that while the enemies are harder the loot stays as it would be in single player. I only found 1 orange in a hour time farming it. So it's a good/bad deal.

Edit for the DLC: PC version note: The DLC is identical, but with a few more technical glitches. There were issues of clipping where bad guys would get stuck in boxes or buildings. They were able to shoot at me, but only a rocket launcher or lucky hit from an SMG burst seemed to damage them. Also, sniper shots to the heads of midgets appeared to pass right through them. Only aiming at the neck did I get the critical hits.

While the experience was still enjoyable, it seems the technical side of this DLC suffered on the PC, something that had not been an issue in the main game or in Captain Scarlett.

Edit2: I just read something and well it's a bit well gearboxie, Total playtime from what reviews said is 4 hours for main missions, 1 hour for side quests. making this a 5 hour dlc...

 

[sesselpupser]

You have the DLC already?

 

[bluemoon_19]

I hate how gearbox say the DLC will be out on the 20th. I think they forget that not all the player base lives in the USA and that the PSN store only updates on Wednesday in Europe. Still no that bothered tomorrow is my last day work so I should have something to look forward to when I get back.

 

[TJ13]

2 hours into the DLC and Im already in chapter 10. The one thing I see is that it is driving, then arena fighting, then more driving, then more arena crap, then driving some more. Poor Decision on gearbox for this dlc.

I don't know, I'm kind of enjoying it so far. I've just met my trainer, apart from all the reused assets it's pretty good fun. The Torgue machines are nice to look at but I'm not sure I'd actually bother to grind to buy stuff, so far all the legendaries I've seen have been level 48... Not sure that's worth grinding for. All the other stuff is lv50 though, might be some good stuff there. Also I like that they've put in Torgue Token one armed bandits presumably to cover their arses when the inevitable 'I've bought everything and I'm now just amassing loads of tokens' complaints come in.

All in all, I think this would have been... acceptable value at the full asking price, not the best but not terrible either. Definitely better than the Underdome I'd say. I wasn't a fan of the Pirates one though so I do hope the next one is up to the standard of the Secret Armoury otherwise I might start to regret buying the season pass.

total of 3 hours I completed all the story missions....Total letdown for me. just kept driving then shooting things either with fire or corrosive. Then drive more.

Hmm. How did you feel about the Captain Scarlett DLC?

I found a Gunerang in a red chest earlier completely by chance. I was walking around trying to find barrels for a challenge and noticed a hole in the floor, it was very easy to miss though. I dropped down to find a red chest and a load of money boxes, so I opened the chest but before it actually opened I turned around to loot the other stuff, while I was doing so it occurred to me that there could have been a legendary in the chest and there's me just casually looting money... So I turned around and guess what? Three green pistols and a Gunerang.

11k damage, 28 round magazine and homing Tediore reloads... But if there's nothing for it to home in on it comes back to you instead (and explodes)!

Captain Scarlett was more decent at lease that took me awhile to do and I still farming the treasure room.

I found this DLC a bit challenging but with the right weapons it was a bit easy, As long as you had a fire, shock, corrosive you were pretty much unstoppable (with the bee shield of course)

The Vending machines are kinda pointless for me since the "orange" in there are the one's I already have

 

[TJ13]

Just wanted to see if anyone was still playing. I just did my first raid boss with Pete, I had crap weapons but I managed to kill him due to I got him stuck lol. Now I only need 39 more crystals to get my relic.

 

[Hei]

I can't kill Hyperius by myself no matter how hard I try. My record is 60% of his health. Master Gee is impossible for me even with 3 strangers. Haven't tried pete.

 

[sesselpupser]

I still haven't finished the Pirates DLC nor have I done the Torgue DLC. I'm slacking!

There is like a glitch that you could use which I did until he joined me up there, but I jumped down and got him stuck there that is what saved me.

 

[Hei]

Hey, I noticed immunity shields are useless. You's think the acid in Master Gee's room and the worm gunk would do nothing to my LEGENDARY corrosion immunity Bee shield, nope, useless. I wonder if the purple fire immunity shield will do anything against pete.

It does help a bit but until you get hit with corrosive then your in trouble again.

 

[Hei]

I guess I really expected immunity to mean immunity. I expect acid to do nothing

 

[TJ13]

When it says Immunity it just reduces the DoT of that element. It's not immune to it.
I hope I can do pete again tomorrow and get him stuck in his little platform so I can snipe and shock his way.

 

[Hei]

Any tips on Master Gee or Hyperius? Btw, does Pete drop Seraph Crystals?

Almost forgot, terramorphus does indeed require that double health. Too easy.

Pete does drop seraph crystals.

I don't know on gee and hyperius since I haven't done them. It appears that you need a cc to do those plus the right build. So I don't know.

Well after a little bit longer I know I have waited a full day since I killed Pete and I am still locked out. Guess I will wait until Monday and see if I can kill pete again or not.

 

[Hei]

Just killed Pete. Easiest raid boss ever. His minions are waaaaay tougher. Lv60 Spiderants and Rats. I know for a fact Hyperius drops crystals.

I only had level 49 and 51, and pete does drop crystals if playing in PT2 or 2.5

Edit: From Patch Notes: -DLC raid bosses no longer drop Seraph crystals in Normal Mode.

 

[Hei]

The more you use the water, the tougher the minions get. Remember, killed him by myself, playthrough 2, no glitches

Hyperius on the other hand can take a full barrage of C.C. Bee Combo (180 bullets) and have only 30% of his health gone.

Yea if you don't have the C.C anything is hard. So that why I used the glitch. Until I get a C.C or baby maker or some other gun that's the only thing I can do.

 

[Hei]

Yeah, I spammed the CC amp Combo, then when I ran out of bullets, I used the baby maker till I ran out of ammo. By then, I had to use the infinity because I had no bullets. Pete has ridiculous health and shields.

 

[TJ13]

Just wondering since you beat pete can you do him again, or did you do him again? I haven't tried yet since I let sunday be my off day to see if I can do pete again.

If I understood your post correctly I believe you can do pete once every 24 hours.

 

[Hei]

Killed him Sunday. Once you have a rythm, it gets quite easy.

 

[TJ13]

I killed him Friday and it still says Im locked out, and I didn't even use any kind of mods/cheats/save editors. Driving me nuts.

Just found out that anyone that kills a raid boss either close to or on December 1st is Perma-locked for the next 50 years... Proof Here

For those who don't want to read it.
As of December 1st, a mysterious bug has hit Borderlands 2 that affects all three platforms which seems to lock out the three new raid bosses, Hyperious, Master Gee and Pyro Pete, for much longer then their original 24 hour lock-out. Instead, it locks them out for the whole month of December. Yes, that’s right. The whole month. The issue seems to stem from the lock-out value being changed from the original 24 hours to over 500,000 hours, meaning that these bosses would be locked out for the next 50 years, due to this bug.

 

[bluemoon_19]

Wow thats not good I asume it will get fixed in the next patch but thats not much help really.

Yea, it's a bug on all platforms so not just one or the other would have it, everyone has it if they do a raid boss in December, but I did the quick fix for the PC version and it worked. Then I decided to visit the TR and got my C.C.

Edit: Next DLC set to release before the "end of the world." Looks like they might be doing DLC every month with either the Season's Pass DLC or the Character DLC, or both.
