Borderlands 2

[TigJackson]

Apparently, Gearbox is releasing an update for Borderlands 2 today. Here is a link describing what this new update does on the PS3: http://support.gearboxsoftware.com/entries/22127181-PlayStation-3-Update-Hot-Fix-Information-


April 18, 2013 Update

General
-Added support and compatibility for upcoming content, including character customizations unlocked by playing Poker Night 2.
-Fixed an issue where bank and stash capacity could be exceeded. This change prevents additional items from being added to stash / bank until capacity is below the maximum -- it does not forcibly remove or delete any items.
-Added a preview of available premium customizations when using a customization station so that players can see what a purchased head or skin would look like before buying.
-Fixed an exploit where players could become invincible occasionally through the Siren's Res skill.
-Fixed an issue that prevented players from choosing a new customization from SHiFT when creating a character immediately after redeeming a customization code.
-Fixed an exploit that could allow players to access unlicensed content.
-Fixed an issue causing non-English languages to display English names for premium customizations.

Missions
-Fixed issues with the following missions that could cause players to get stuck or not be able to complete them:
- Bad Hair Day
- Best Minion Ever
-Fixed a bug that could cause the "Wildlife Preservation" mission boss to sometimes continue fighting after the encounter in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.
-(Captain Scarlett DLC) Fixed an issue that could cause Scarlett to not drop Scarlett's Greed in the fight with Roscoe.

Equipment
-Fixed a bug that caused the player's grenade count to not be saved properly if they were using a Grenadier class mod.
-Fixed a bug causing Seraph items of the day to incorrectly be capped at level 55.
-Rebalanced the Gunzerker's Titan class mod to be more in line other Gunzerker class mods.
-Fixed an issue where the Evolution shield could incorrectly list a Recharge Delay of 0.00 seconds.
-Fixed audio from Impact shields not playing when connected to another player.
-Fixed an issue causing audio distortion in some cases when a transfusion projectile got stuck inside an object.

Why 'fix' the bank and stash capacity glitch when it really doesn't affect anything or anyone except perhaps the ego of the morons at Gearbox? What they should be addressing is the fact that Doc Mercy, Savage Lee, and several other mini bosses don't seem to ever drop their assigned Legendary items in TVHM or UVHM. If I hadn't bought the season pass, I would have already put this game back in storage in my closet. I certainly won't be buying anything else associated with Borderlands 2, including that stupid looking Psycho Krieg character.

If it's broken, they should fix it. You know if they don't someone will complain, and the people who complain about it being broken have more of a point than those who complain that it was fixed.

But yeah, they really are amateurs when it comes to programming. I mean seriously, the things that come up in the changelogs make it sound more like they're making a mod than a game. Any mention of loot disappearing through floors and walls and otherwise becoming inaccessible? Nope! Also I had that glitch where I was unable to finish Bad Hair Day on the very first day of the game's release... Problem is, the game is so much fun I tend to overlook these problems, but as time goes on and you see more things that you'd noticed on day one popping up in changelogs this long after release, you do have to wonder what the hell they're doing.

The game is massive. The bigger something is, the more error there is to be had. I honestly don't mind glitches as long as they aren't game breaking or loot eating.

On a side note...I've found out that if your weapons grip matches the manufacture (as in, a Maliwan grip on a Maliwan gun etc.) it will get an awesome bonus to reload speeds. The Unkempt Harold with a Torgue grip will have the same reload speed as it would with a Tediore grip, but the Torgue grip makes it more powerful and increases ammo capacity. Doesn't that just sound extremely OP?

Same manufacture grip on same manufactured gun = better reload speed

This kind of proves your point pretty well:

The only reason that I ever logged on in order to play this game was to utilize the hot fixes that they implemented to fight the raid bosses (that they messed up themselves). Since I have no intention of purchasing the new DLC character, I was not going to install yesterday's update until the last season pass DLC (that I've already paid for) was released.

Seeing how stupid Gearbox and their thought process is, I will now download the latest patch and then learn how to use the Gibbed editor so that I can play their worthless new character for free. That's what they get from me for messing with the bank storage glitch which was only made necessary by the stupid limitations that they placed on storage capacity in the first place.

I've had my fill of this guy over the past few hours, and I certainly won't be buying it.

Hi guys, can anyone duplicate me a lvl 61 critical conference call, infinity pistol and bee shield thanks. I can give my old gear if that helps or my lvl 58 legendary rifle. Psn: razorcrazor

Damn man, lay off them. We all make mistakes. I mean, not ALL of their mistakes should be excused (ie lack of sledge's shotguns knockback, evil smasher, etc. etc.) but that seems pretty low to steal a DLC class from them.

Edit: Couldn't help myself but to use the Psycho myself.

Also: Gibbed's Editor hasn't been updated (officially anyway) to the current Borderlands 2 version. Not sure when or if he is going to update it. If you find a updated version, could you just throw the version number at me (metaphorically speaking), so I can look it up myself?

Edit: Nvm, I haven't looked it up recently.

Also (x2): I've found a way to duplicate things without leaving a room. Quite handy when you are playing offline and you want TWO GUNS...! Shooting with two Storm snipers is like screen spam and makes it hard to aim, same goes with the akimbo Sawbars. I really wish I could get my hands some Butchers with overall better reload speeds than the current ones I have.

AHAHAHA! You want the CC even though its complete garbage? I can understand the Infinity, but the CC? Seriously? You might as well get a Flakker while you are at it. In all seriousness, the CC IS complete rubbish. Go for a Unkempt Harold or a Interfacer or even better, a Butcher.

While I'm personally not going to, if they weren't such amateurs it wouldn't be so easy to hack that stuff out of the game for free...

 

[TJ13]

The CC is actually better in a shotgun class since the lv 61 has x7 on some than the x5 lv 50 has. Can rival the butcher.

 

[Super Novi]

Yes, but the Butcher isn't as spammy and can actually conserve ammo. Plus it's a throw back from the Legendary Hyperion Shotgun from the first game.

Also: Gah, I feel hypocritical.

Edit: Heh. I found out how to get pretty much as much space as you want for your inventory with Gibbed. If you go to BlackMarketUpgrades under the Raw tab, and replace the 8th value in the pop down with a 0, it will allow you to re-buy the inventory upgrades without the resetting of your current capacity.

This is going to be. AWESOME.

Edit2: It just resets back to normal once you save and returns it to it's largest legit size.

 

[TigJackson]

It certainly looks to be a goldmine, I'm keeping the Doctor's Orders quest incomplete so the four boxes will always spawn loot midgets. Kind of scared of playing online now, but then if I do somehow end up with the quest completed I can always reset, it doesn't take too long to get to the Preserve.

If it's broken, they should fix it. You know if they don't someone will complain, and the people who complain about it being broken have more of a point than those who complain that it was fixed.

Well, it looks like Gearbox applied your theory of If it's broken, they should fix it to the Legendary Loot Midgets that used to spawn while the Doctor's Orders quest was active. According to many posts on the Gearbox forums and on GameFaqs, Gearbox has implemented a hot fix and no LLM will spawn if one is playing online. They seem to spawn if one is playing offline, however.

I am glad that I got my fill of that stupid Krieg character since I certainly won't be buying it. I will just wait for that fourth DLC, play through it, and put this micro managed disaster to rest.

 

[sesselpupser]

I figured it was a matter of time, seems illogical though as its harder to farm online than off, and you don't have to compete for the gear either... Have they nerfed the Harold yet?

Are those you are requesting or do you have those?

Also: They have not nerfed the Unkempt Harold. I also find it easier to kill enemies using slag over the Bee. As soon as your hit, you are pretty much screwed, while with slag it lasts quite a damn while and doesn't matter if you get hit or not.

I am mostly looking for weapons that I don't have and that have very exceptional reload speeds.

Also (x2): To be brutally honestly, I still play Borderlands 2 because it's unlike any other game. I mean, in what game can you use Assault Rifles that shoot grenades that explode acid? It's crazy, and I love it. I mean, they removed Sledge's Shotguns knockback (which pisses me off >=0) but still, overall, I love trying to find the most absurd guns.

Ill have to check reload speeds later but got my hands on: practicable interfacer, slag
avenger, slag
legendary siren mod
legendary gunzerker mod

Already have all of those pretty much.

Except the Avenger is shock, although, I don't like using it because It doesn't explode on impact, so it's most likely gonna bounce off and head right for me.

Really, the only weapons I am looking for is an Unforgiven and a Bearcat.

Also: I just got my Assassin to the new level cap. I've been using the Hawk Eye and the Unkempt Harold (like neema was), but I have also been using the Slagga. Slag is so much more vital, without it most of my progress would have been impossible.

 

[sesselpupser]

So I haven't actually played since I got Zer0 up to level 61, save for a brief play around with Gaige. The past couple of nights I've been playing Poker Night 2 which I obviously bought just for the items, I unlocked the last of them tonight. The first four are quite meh (especially Maya's visor) but Zer0's is pretty good... Two problems though: the head is always white no matter which skin you use and the skin gives the heads that aren't Are Y0u St1ll There (the Portal head, the skin has the same name) a brown colour along with the dark blue and white, and if the head has a glow colour it glows green. So I had been planning to use the dark blue and white skin to get a dark blue and white helmet with a white glow (I can't remember the name of the head I like, it's one of the DLC ones, the one that's not the scarecrow or Batman), but the head doesn't match the skin's colours. Minor detail but it bugs me, so that combo will be relegated to my second Zer0. My third uses G4l4h4d and Pink Pandoracorn, it's a great combo.

 

[Super Novi]

-snip-

I've been playing it a lot, and I have been reconsidering how I modify my guns. I replaced the speed box on my Slagga with a reload accessory, making it absolutely mega fast at reloading. My Unkempt Harold has a double accessory, making it even more OP than before. I tuned my Hawk Eye for damage, and my Volcano for fire rate.

I plan on swapping over to my Siren, considering how fast she is in comparison to everyone else.

Update: It looks like the 4th DLC's name was released: It's called Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
Why does this sound like it has Skyrim, WOW, and D&D references in there?

 

[TJ13]

New Info.

Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep to be released on June 25th and is the last DLC for season pack holders.

Link is Here From ign.

 

[razorjesse]

Anyone got any Hybrid/modded weapons?

 

[paulmac2k9]

I just searched PS store for Krieg with no luck has he been released yet?

 

[TJ13]

Probably when store updates Tuesday (US) Wed (UK)

 

[paulmac2k9]

Ok thanks 👍.

 

[TJ13]

Ok thanks 👍.

It will be out on May 14th, just confirmed on twitter and IGN.

 

[Sharky.]

You're a week early, Paul

I redeemed a whole bunch of golden key codes that I found listed on a wiki somewhere, now I have 52 keys Still need to finish Hammerlock and TVHM... haven't played BL2 in ages :|

 

[Super Novi]

From what I got from Krieg, he can be massively OP. If you get 10 points into Blood-filled Guns, you will have +5% Mag size everytime to do damage. The cap for Bloodlust is 100, so you will end up with magazines that are 6x larger than normal. That is stupidly absurd, I can only imagine the mag size for the CHOPPER with 100 stacks. Plus if you shove in Nervous Blood and Boiling Blood, that is going to make for an insanely OP combo with the Unkempt Harold and Sheriff's Badge.

I got this for free with my graphics card and I never liked fps games, but that was on console with a game pad, I find the aiming much more natural with a mouse, but the keyboard is just so bad for movement, it's not intuitive at all. I tried using my joystick, but it's not programmable and the game won't recognise it's inputs in the setup screen.

So, before I go spending money on another joystick, does anyone know if a proper programmable joystick for PC will be able to control this game with a mouse?

I can't help you there, I don't play Borderlands 2 for PC.

 

[eight6er]

I can't help you there, I don't play Borderlands 2 for PC.

Is there many PC players on here or is it mostly console? Maybe I should make a separate thread for this.

 

[TJ13]

Im a PC player and well I use keyboard and mouse just fine, however since I have played BL1 and other fps it just comes natural.

 

[eight6er]

I've given the keyboard a chance, I've played for weeks but, still requires me to think about or look at the keyboard to make sure I'm hitting the right keys. If I had a thumb stick to move instead of four separate keys, I would be much happier playing this game. I never had a programmable joystick so I don't know if the axis can be set to work movement in these games some how.
