Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Borderlands: OLD THREAD Who's gettin' off the bus?

Also, kinda curious how they incorporated that little survey they had us do into the game. Maya sounds exactly like what I want in a healer. Especially Res, long range resurrection.
It was okay.
She's...um...umm what were we talking about?
Also, holy hell I'm getting my ass kicked on General Knoxx's DLC. Is this normal?

PAX Prime 2013 Buttoneering!
It was a weird DLC. First time I played through it was at level 20 or so, right after the zombie island DLC was finished and before I ever beat the game. Only did that one because it scaled to level 20 as opposed to 30 for Knoxx. Didn't even know fast-travel existed.
It was a huge slogfest, but the magic of the game was still going strong so I didn't have too many problems with it besides the creeping feeling in the back of my head that perhaps I did things out of order.
The only problem with Moxxi was the utterly stupid random nerfs. Tougher enemies are fine I do not need shield and health drain.
Having said that, I liked it. I thought the humor was good enough, it didn't have some of the painfully tedious travel issues Knoxx had, and the end reward of it was better than any of the other DLC's.
The almost total lack of quest rewards didn't help. And the lack of leveling (getting a free skill point for finishing X amount of rounds doesn't count) wasn't great. And the loot sucked. It was also an enormous, tedious grind to "complete" it. And the difficult was mostly bullshit since some nerfs hurt some characters far, far more than others and occur randomly.
Moxxie was the only truly bad DLC, though I can't complain much because I got it all in one set in a crazy Steam sale. Zombie Island was pretty fun. Knoxx was great, due in no small part to the comedy (and the awesome glitch with the armory). Claptrap's Rebellion wasn't fantastic in terms of gameplay, but the comedy there was also good and it ends up in a really great place.
As for a revision of Moxxie, turn that sucker into a tower defense horde mode where you build defenses with the weapons of fallen enemies and you could have something golden. Just anything but a sickly, anemic grindfest with pathetic rewards and no XP.
The weakest DLC? probably. But terrible? only for solo play.
Now the zombie island DLC...I never get tired of that shit.
Currently playing: DI:Riptide, Eador:MotBW, FE:A, MH3U
Knoxx was the best but also the worst for travelling. How on earth they cranked out all these DLCs with fast travel missing from every single one of them I just cannot understand. Overall the base game was just a far superior experience to any of the DLC, which slowly drained my enthusiasm for playing the game at all the more I got through them.
I sadly never finished Claptrap because my brother is a slacking jackass and I can't be bothered to play solo, but can't you keep running those chests over and over and over once you finish?
If I run it enough times I might get something other than cheap combat rifles.
some chests are better than others, and those are pretty much terrible
I just finished claptrap for the first time the other day. One of the normally crappy white chests had an orange volcano sniper rifle in it. Also, the lockers often have class mods and pistols in them waaaaay more frequently than in the base game, so don't forget to check 'em.

This is a pretty ridiculous exaggeration.
Yes, like any chest they can have whites and greens.
But they have the same spawn chances of every red chest in the game, meaning it can produce every weapon possible except Pearls. There is no where in the game that has as many chests in one place that you can access so quickly (22 red chests, takes about 1 minute to run to each reload) that doesn't require glitching the game and spending a lot of time running to knoxx, killing him then doing the whole stupid end part of knoxx over and over, again glitched.
It's fine that you don't like Claptrap, but you just had bad luck with loot and it is asinine to bitch about something that is factually incorrect. Many people, when Claptrap was released, reported an unusually high rate of oranges for shotguns in particular, dropping throughout the DLC. I've changed my runthrough order when I play a new character to always do Claptrap first because it has considerably better loot, for me, than any of the other DLC's, and provides a means to quickly farm chests to find something I want, both in PL1 and PL2.
By "better" you mean "higher rarity"
Four of my best, bar none, I-have-a-million-hours-in-this-game guns are epics, because legendaries aren't necessarily good, nor are pearls.
Yes, I'm aware of that. But those chests in the basement of claptrap have the same type of loot of every other red chest of the same type. I didn't say anything about the lance chests; those are only in Knoxx and are pretty rare outside of the armory and again, the time it takes to get to the armor and glitch it and get loot you can have ran the gift shop two dozen times.
Plus, the lance chests don't have a higher quality of loot than other red chests (aside from the absurdly low chance at pearls), they just have a higher chance of dropping said loot.
Knoxx is still hard, brutally so. I took down Baron Flynn and the Destroyer on the first try. Here, I'm getting downed by swarms of badasses with rape guns.
Color weakness is hella important at craw it's better to learn the weaknesses now.
Oh and the Knoxx areana in Claptrap has pretty decent loot. mostly shield mods but w/e

What no you aren't! There is an elevator on the second floor that takes you out of there before it explodes.
