    And spam transfusion grenades while you're at it, just for good measure.

    Can't wait to watch that gameplay video tonight!

    Either that or the other companies all got a bit slower to make Vladoff more impressive.

    I never got around to finishing the first one, I've been meaning to get back to it. And this is after I made sure to get the version that included all the DLC... *sigh*

    There's also very little use of the special abilities, which means they probably don't have access to the cool down reductions. The Siren's phaslock skill showed up a few times, but I couldn't tell if that was because she was a higher level or because there was more than one Maya out there.

    Seriously though, Day 1. And I NEVER do day 1. Now if only they'd release the skill trees so I can pick a character. I like the dual wield idea, but I find I almost never fire from the hip and I'd guess you kind o fhave to in berserk mode (kind of hard to double iron sight).

    I used to say I never Day 1-ed anything. Couldn't say that now, though. These days Kickstarter's got me Day -400ing games left and right. :(

    Even in the hypothetical present where I don't Day 1 anything, I would pre-order Borderlands 2. Duh.

    Seriously. At least that means we'll be able to play something near final at the show, though.

    OK, when I did my thing in Old Haven, the damaged claptrap didn't spawn where I could get it, so I have to go back.

    Anyone have a corrosive weapon and a duder around level 31 and want to join me?

    The claptrap in old haven won't be there the first time you clear the zone. You have to go back for it afterward (which IIRC you have to anyway for tannis or something).

    Weird, because I could hear it and the wiki said that was a bug.

    Edit: I guess I will go kill Taylor Cobb then.

    Huh. Dunno. I've never had the claptrap that needs repaired spawn in Old haven my first time through.

    So... Can someone tell me why the resale values on these don't make sense when compared to one another?

    Edit: I mean, I am sure it makes sense, but I am not much of a gun nut. I guess the recoil reduction, reload speed, accuracy and zoom are enough to push the value up. Is it worth keeping both?

    Don't try to figure out resale values. They rarely, if ever, have any basis in a weapons quality.

    Well. Damnit. I was just trying to simplify all the freaking time it takes to compare weapons by selling the less valuable ones.


    Please, don't any of you die hard loot fans have an aneurysm at that statement. Do please remember, it is just a game.

    Edit: So what should I do with those two?

    I had a level 40 hellfire thumper that I gave up on using. And now in the late 50s, and a few farmory runs later, I still haven't found another

    Yes, there are some weapons that you should virtually always hold on to.

    Hellfires are definitely one of those.

    After awhile you start to recognize weapon types and stats that you know you'll probably like for your playstyle and you base what you keep on that, not the value of the weapon.

    Also it just takes a few seconds to test something out and see if its your thing.

    But in general, if you find Hellfires, Anarchies (double are better than desert iirc), Pestilent Defilers, among other things, they're bound to be really good and can last you a very long time if they've got good numbers.

    That's not to say all weapons of those names are created equally. You can get bad Hellfires, but they're generally bad compared to other Hellfires and still are better than your average weapons.

    there's no major difference between double and desert anarchies

    i think a desert anarchy is just a dahl double anarchy with a certain kind of material

    which is better is dependent on the rest of the parts

  • Options
    The Dude With HerpesThe Dude With Herpes Lehi, UTRegistered User regular
    Really?
    Hmm...I didn't think the deserts could ever get 4 shots like the Double can.

    That makes a pretty big difference. Fire rate and such yeah they're probably not much different.

  • Options

    Yeah, all anarchies get the 4 shots. This is just a case of the materials prefix overriding the default Double prefix. The same way you can get a Hyperion SMG that shoots double shots but is named Red or Crimson Stinger or whatever.

    The only reason to get rid of a Hellfire or Pestilent Defiler is because you found a better one.
