Borderlands thread nineteen!
(eighteen seventeen sixteen fifteen fourteen thirteen twelve eleven ten nine eight seven six five four three two one)
Four SIX new classes:
Salvador the Gunzerker -- Dual wields guns (any guns) Salvador's Skills
Maya the Siren -- Phaselock for crowd control, healing, damage Maya's Skills
Axton the Soldier Guy -- Snazzy turret Axton's Skills (Note: Do or Die is a 1 point skill, not 5.)
Zero the Loner -- Sword, sniper, sneaky Zer0's Skills
Gaige the Mechromancer -- Hulking robot summon, ponies Gaige's Skills
Krieg the Psycho -- BURNING HULKING RAGE ALL THE DAMN TIME Krieg's Skills
How about some gameplay from PAX (August 2012)?

What else?
It's Steamworks. Very nice.
The original Vault Hunters are all be in game as NPCs, including a 'live' Lilith.
There's a dashing bad guy, Handsome Jack, who has taken over the Hyperion Corporation and built himself a moon base from which he can shoot down robot reinforcements.
Gun manufacturers are way more significant in the new game. Bandit weapons have huge magazines. When you reload a Tediore weapon you chuck it like a grenade and it explodes (the rocket launchers actually shoot a rocket). Maliwan is sexy and elemental. Vladoff weapons have insane fire rates. Jakobs guns fire as fast as you can click/pull the trigger. Torgue guns? EXPLOSIONS! Etc. Non-gun loot (grenades, mods, artifacts, skins, heads, etc.) is also be randomized and way more diverse than BL1. Grenades that create a mob-sucking singularity before exploding in corrosive acid and also giving transfusion health? Yes please!
Main game bank for storing items and transferring items between characters.
New currency: eridium. Can be used to buy inventory, ammo and bank upgrades on the black market.
Lots of new bad guys - mobs and bosses - including some that will evolve Pokemon style into much more dangerous forms if you don't kill them quickly.
Character skins and heads:
New element: slag! Slagged enemies are more susceptible to damage.
You can move while in Fight For Your Life mode - yay!
New end game raid boss -- Terramorphous the Invincible -- supposed to make Crawmerax look like a sea monkey.
Gearbox has committed to 4 DLC, along the lines of Knoxx in scope they say, by June of 2013. Price is $10 each (or comparable) and there is a season pass to get all 4 for $30.
And, oh yes, midgets on shields...

Gearbox stole the art style of Borderlands from a movie called Codehunters.
Hammerlock is kind of full of that kind of silly goosery.
I wouldn't mind a D3 2.0-style pass over the game to fix a lot of the game's goosery.

Now the second-to-final boss...
Go TORGUE.
(And funnily enough, my phone auto capped TORGUE.)
Because normal bullets literally bounce off it so you need explosions.
It took some time to get used to the idea of one of the heads of the big weapon manufacturers being friendly and not actively trying to destroy me and everything I hold dear like Atlas and Hyperion.
Final of Torgue is actually better with Zer0 and B0re

I never use those guns but he makes me want to.
Especially when it was revealed that
The Kerblaster? His work.

and that side is EXPLOSIONS
i'm the guy who fires torgue guns at nothing just to see them

Finally beginning to get a feel for this dlc. I don't think I will finish though. I'll go til I get too frustrated then I'm going to start tvhm.
Btw, I'm not screwing myself by leveling too much in normal am I? By what level should I absolutely bse starting tvhm?

I'm not hard core enough to actually care though.

you might want to turn off the thingie that alerts your friends when you sign in though
it's gonna take a while
Nope. The season pass gives you:
Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty
Torgue's Campaign of Carnage
Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt
Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 1
Four campaign DLCs (Scarrlet, TORGUE, Hammerlock, Tiny Tina) and the first upgrade pack (+11 levels).
Characters, second upgrade pack (+11 more levels, new area), skins, and Headhunter/Holiday DLC packs are not included.
Beat Warrior on Krieg last night, got to level 31 and started Tiny Tina DLC before going to bed. I lol'd hard at the vending machine telling me "the night is dark, and full of treasures".
Gonna try to finish TT on normal with Krieg before I start up on TVHM. Also, Silence the Voices hurts like a bitch.
Silence the Voices is the best. I run with it cranked up to 11 via mod. Damage increases, but chance of hitting yourself doesn't. It does 550% melee bonus, but remains only 12% chance of self inflicted damage. Combo it was Thrill of the Kill and/or a Grog nozzle and you can become fairly unstoppable.

I'm kinda scared to see what will happen when I pair it with a Rough Rider at 34. Having it combo with a permanent Empty the Rage gives me the willies.
Obligatory MEAT!!!
*from what I've seen, I could be wrong

Get the roid splosion every time I use it.

Additional Krieg Comments: Rough Rider + Damage Reduction/Resist Relic means StV isn't as much of a threat to me anymore. Not sure if I like the Bloodlust tree and how it interacts with Mania. RtB is the truth.
Question, does the self-damage Krieg takes from Hellborn tree self-ignition proc Salt the Wound?
