On Nimbosa, cramming as many guardsmen into troop carriers as possible.

At first it was meh, but then I played online and started dual wielding Maliwan snipers (one shoots lightning, the other acid.) and then it was great.

If you stick with it it gets fun.

Hmn, may have to give the game a reinstall if there will be new DLC. Does Steam keep your saves?

Actually come to think of it I still haven't beaten the boss at the end of the Big Game Hunt. That thing just kept beating the crap out of me. =(

yeay more stuff to murder with Krieg. Krieg is such a badass i have been playing solo and i just started UVH and really have not had many problems. Super Badass Loaders and Badass Constructer v2 gave me a bit of trouble but i eventually downed them after leveling up a bit.

i still have not figured out the best way to maximize Krieg's dmg output because it is so random sometimes. sometimes i hit something for 300k, other times 600k and i have seen over 900k when rampaging through bandits at lvl 51.

Not to my knowledge - but on Windows at least, you should have some saved stuff under Documents unless you opted to clear it out when uninstalling.

I need to actually boot up my comp and play this some more. Think I'm around level 12 or so, but I've been painting like a maniac most days. Probably best to paint. But gaming sure is fun.

And I have to say I was really wrong about this game. Bad start, but fun overall.

Finished Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep.

That was fantastic. It had the right amount of depth, with the right amount of silliness and seriousness.

The only annoyance I have is that at completion, it seems the head and skin for the DLC were not awarded...which makes me think it might be tied to the raid boss which kinda sucks.

I just DLed it on a friend's Xbox, as mine is currently packed up and waiting to move. I can't wait to try it out.

What is the raid boss, Kan?

Commencing spoiler blockage...

So everyone doing well? That's nice to hear! I hope everyone has a good week and has some fun plans for the weekend!

Spoiler:
The main 'raid boss' is a set of elemental dragons, one for each element(Slag, Fire, Corrosive, Lightning, and Explosive) fought all as one great big encounter. It does not really appear to be difficult but rather is an endurance challenge costing 20 Eridium per attempt.

Only a bit into Tiny Tina's.

Sniping skeletons with Zero has been interesting to say the least.

I thought that was just a rumor?

I picked the game up for 78% off on Amazon and I am enjoying it much more on PC then I did in PS3. I started as Krieg this time and having a lot of fun.

I'll say... more like "an exercise in frustration" if trying it solo, mind. :\ At least there are other ways to tackle them.

Spoilers ho!

Woob woob woob. Woob woob woob.

Spoiler:
The whole of Tiny Tina is the original Vault Hunters(Brick, Mordecai, Lilith) and Tina playing a game while the current Vault Hunters beat the snot out of a Hyperion spy for information. At the end of Tiny Tina, Maya walks in and asks "Who wants to go blow up a space station?"--which lines up perfectly with the announcement/rumors.

Just played through it and was rewarded with a Barking Volcano for killing Handsome Jack. I mean the Sorcerer. No spoilers, because....duh. Anyone who started the DLC knew you faced HJ again. Level 50 Volcano? Yes, please. The deaths from the moving gate/platform you have to run over were all worth it. All 7 of them.

Is borderlands 2+ seasons pass worth 13.5€? It really doesn't seem so as none of my friends have the game and there is suppose to be even more dlc so it might be worth to wait.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.

If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in.

The season pass was stated to include DLCs that are already released (now) - the last promised was Tiny Tina's.

For solo play only, I am not sure - it does give you a lot more content to prevent the need to grind as much.

I thought it was/is a phenomenally good deal - but I have a partner to play with basically all the time.

Random thought:
Is there a way to see time played on PS3?
I know Steam tracks it and was talking with someone at work who thought their 300 hours played was a lot.

I immediately thought of my first MMO character that had time played pass the 1 year mark . . .and realized that I don't recall a means to check with these.

I've got a shock smg which has a similar effect...
Though I do enjoy scything through a small army of dwarves or skeletons as an invisible harbinger of death...

Bear in mind to make sure you find a reaaaaaally nice 'plain' SMG in addition to an elemental one. There are quite a few enemies in Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep that flatout ignore elemental damage.

Also:
When you see a "Fractured Skeleton" holding his swords gangsta style? Do not fire. He reflects all damage back at you.

I learned that from a rocket launcher deflecting...

What guns provide all elemental damage?

There are a ton of enemies which ignore Corrosive(acid) damage within the DLC, a ton that ignore Electric, some ignoring Slag, and plenty ignoring Fire.
Having a normal gun is a veeeeeeeeeeeeeery good thing to do.
