Thank god! After three days of crap, we get the Cobra! The one gun I really, really wanted. Not sure when I'll get the time to go kill Truckasaurus for it, I guess I'll have a late night tonight.
I killed him a few times, and got an acceptable Level 70 Cobra with a decent reload speed and a crit bonus, which will prove useful for my Assassin.Thank god!

Okay. I started playing "Borderlands 2." I am currently into the village of "The Soaring Dragon." I am playing as the Commando as my main character. I am currently at Level 6 in the Southern Shelf. I just seem to get getting owned by the Marauders, and especially the Badass Marauders. The Psychos can be a bit annoying, but they are tolerable to defeat. I swear I've been killed at least 15-20 times in my play so far. Maybe I am just not as adept with first-person shooters- especially not most modern first-person shooters. Trust me- I'd be the first person to get owned if we were to match up a balance of newbies and veterans in almost any modern first-person shooter.
I like the kind of RPG-like feel in picking up items and in attacking enemies. The game is fun as well as having such amazing art. I also love the Fight For Your Life aspect. I do sometimes wish I could win some of those near-death fights with some kind of desperation counter or anything. Or since I've been so used to the Saints Row series, I almost tend to wish someone would revive me or something. I am slowly beginning to find a few favorites among the current weapons I have. One of them is a pistol highly effective against fleshed enemies- which is perfectly fine since I am mostly battling organic enemies anyways. Oh... I like the introduction video with that cool song playing in the background. Cool stuff!

Erm...most of this isn't too accurate. Let me put more detail in that.
Cover is useless if you don't have your turret out. Enemies will usually circle-jerk right around your only cover unless you have a distraction out there.
Fire, or Incendiary Damage is good at burning fleshy enemies, but are crap against shields and armor
Shock is great against shields, and is moderate everywhere else.
Corrosive is good against armored targets but isn't too good towards shielded enemies.
Explosive is slightly better than Non-Elemental
Slag can double (or triple in UVHM) all non slag damage dealt.
Maliwan guns are always elemental, no exceptions.
Jakobs have high recoil, usually semi-automatic and are always non-elemental (if you disregard unique aftermarket weapons.)
Bandit Weapons have the biggest magazines, but other stats are rather garbage.
Vladof focuses on fire rate, and often have the highest fire rates in the game.
Tediore have quick reloads, and when reloaded, they will be thrown and explode like a grenade. Ammo left in the weapon will make the explosion more powerful (except for RPGs, which instead of throwing it, you will let it out of your hands and it will speed off.
Torgue weapons shoot either rockets or gyro-jets. They are always explosive.
Hyperion has reverse recoil, in which when you shoot, you become more accurate as you shoot.
Dahl has little to no recoil at all, and usually has burst fire when you aim down the sight.
Some people make use of the Flakker. You should check out GBX's forums for some character builds.

Tales From The Borderlans teaser trailer.
Telltale Games new episodic Borderlands game.'This video has been removed by the user', what was it about?
So I've been playing BL2 a lot lately (I'm using the Assassin) I've got to level 55 and am playing in TVHM, my plan was to farm some raid bosses and complete side quests and the DLC to get some good legendary and unique red text weapons to make UVHM a little less ridiculous, but so far the only raid boss that has dropped anything legendary was Terramorphous I got his hide shield and the class mod on the first kill, then every kill since I just get the class mod, Pete and Hyperious just drop green and blue stuff maybe a purple if I'm lucky, do the other raid bosses not drop any orange gear in TVHM? Seems the only one that is guaranteed to drop an orange is Terra.
Granted I haven't killed them "a lot" in terms of farming, around 40 for Terra, 15 for Pete and 5 for Hyperious.
And it seems I've shot my self in the foot by buying the first level cap increase to 61 as this has allowed me to over level my character in TVHM and remain with under leveled gear as everything is capped at 50 making UVHM damn near impossible.
Is there any need or purpose to farming and doing side quests and DLC in TVHM if you own the Level cap increase DLC? I would have been fine if I didn't buy it as I would be stuck at level 50 too the same as my gear, but because I did buy it it's allowed me to come close to breaking the game for UVHM leaving it almost unplayable.
I'm at a loss of what to do. I feel I might have to start a brand new character and as soon as I hit level 50 start UVHM, or cheat and use that Gibbed programe to level up my gear, but using that leads to a lot of temptation that will probably make the game boring fast.

Maybe I'm alone in this opinion and it does come from purchasing the game late, but I feel that buying the UVHM level cap increase DLC before reaching level 50 does somewhat break UVHM if you don't jump right into it as soon as you hit level 50.
Players that already reached level 50 before this DLC came out had time to farm/grind for the better loot would have been fine when the UVHM mode DLC released but for me all that is happening is I'm running with average gear at best still farming for the better loot, my level is going up which in turn means the enemies in UVHM levels are going up, and the loot I'm finding is effectively getting worse the more I level. I know UVHM is supposed to be much more challenging but trying to take on level 54 - 57 enemies that have more health / faster health regen while doing it with level 48-50 gear seems damn near impossible and like I have handicapped myself.
It would have been nice if Gearbox allowed loot/enemies to scale up in level past 50 in TVHM leaving UVHM for those who want the extra challenge and Pearlescent and Seraph loot. Or keeping the player capped at level 50 until they started a UVHM play through.

Explicit is OK...but I'd still go for a Double Penetrating. It's just overall better. And you get the Shadow of Seraphs from the Seraph Vender in Flamerock Refuge.Thanks for the tips Super Novi, I haven't got lucky with a Pitchfork drop from Terra yet, or a Slagga. I do have a Bee shield though. So I must have some luck in me as I got one from the 3rd Treant I killed in Tiny Tina's DLC, also have the Explicit Unkempt Harold which I got from Savage Lee, is the Double Penetrating one needed or will the Explicit be just fine?
I'm not sure where I could get that Shadow of Seraphs Relic from though, as after I killed Hyperious I was confused as to why he didn't drop any Seraph Crystals, I then learned that Gearbox changed it so the Seraph Guardians now only drop them in UVHM ( wish I would have known that before as I wouldn't have even tried to kill him ) I do feel somewhat trolled by the raid bosses in TVHM as the reward - to - effort ratio doesn't seem fair at all, but guess that's just part of Borderlands nature and "charm".

Unless you were just throwing it out there...but still.
