    If you are on PC I am pretty sure there was a fast travel mod for General Knoxx.

    Yeah, you have to install the Oasis mod which allows custom maps and then the dlc fast travel map which is a central hub that has travel to all unique locations in all the dlcs.

    It's not as convenient as if they had added actual fast travel stations to the Knoxx maps, but it still faster than driving everywhere.

    They ay the time didn't think they'd get dlc which was why its a little janky

    The only drawback I ever experienced in Knoxx was the fact that there was only the one fast travel station. Like, it was quicker to just quit out of the game and reload your character then to drive from one side of the map to the, well, middle.

    Yeah after the allure of driving the highways wears off (and it wears off like almost immediately) the lack of fast travel just drives you nuts

    Like I said, the vehicles feel like you're driving a potato and I don't think BL2 did much to fix that because I did get to some of the driving spots in that one.

    If you listen closely, you can hear my angry scream. How the hell did I not know about this mod! Driving through empty spaces is the worst part of Borderlands! Goddamnit. I really hope they improve on that in BL3

    Yeah, the only good car in BL1 was the Racer in the Knoxx DLC, but you can't use it anywhere else.

    It is kind of funny that vehicles are always included in BL, and yet every time the vehicle sections are almost 100% trash.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I hope they put chests EVERYWHERE this time. Always a little sad when I checked some nook somewhere and nothing. Probably not going to happen, but I can dream.

    Ehh the problem with that is that if they do put chest everywhere then they will either be useless ( the bl2 scenario) or will be nerfed into the ether ( the bl1 new haven scenario) . Rather they have hard to find or tricky chests that have higher quality average.

    I think Xed is saying he wants to be rewarded for exploring those nooks and grannies rather than "and nothing is here".

    I liked the vehicles in the BL2 DLC. An airboat and a hovering sandskiff thing. They had good maneuverability.

    It's not a competitive multiplayer game so put normal chests or super chests or whatever all over, who cares. Always going to be a better gun out there.

    Yeah that's what's kind of weird about how they nerf drop rates. Like its a looter shooter with random rolls, I want all the loots!!

    I wonder if that's the cost of the element switch.

    I can still fan the hammer on Jacobs revolvers so I'm a happy man (who will probably roll a female Vault Hunter, Amara looks like she can have some amazing mix ups and synergy and is my number 1 right now, followed closely by F14K).

    So VIP season 3 is speculated to start in a few days. The weapon offerings available are pretty boss and a nice send off for BL2. There's also skins and heads for 3

    Here's a list of all working VIP codes

    And here's a link to the VIP site

    This. Cross play is the only reason I would buy this. Loved 1 and 2, but everyone went to Xbox/PS4 after I went PC (thanks for saying you would switch, friends, then doing the exact opposite).

    It seems like he has set weapons but they level up.

    Itd be funny if it RNG rolled and he pulled a legendary or something

    Am I weird for not being able to work up any sort of opinion on Epic game store exclusivity? To make a stupid food analogy, it's like being served a burger in a brown wrapper instead of a beige wrapper.

    Ehhh I mean, I don't have the epic game launcher installed on my machine, and I have a bunch of Steam Bucks I could spend on it. I like having all my games in an easy to launch single place.

    Besides the complaints I've read about the launcher, one other thing that gives people the jitters is Tencent a.k.a. China.

    Valve is TEAM 'MURICA. :P

    The epic store may have it's issues but they are getting business by offering developers more favorable terms and the frothing legion of players losing their shit over having to use an additional free launcher can all fuck off.

    It more like the impossible burger. Say, instead of every burger joint selling them, some new Epic Burger opened and paid $Texas to be the only one selling the impossible burger. Instead of making a nice restaurant, they just slapped up some drywall and put some teenager behind the counter, and counted on being the only one selling that burger to get people in the door. Also, there are rumors that people get food poisoning from Epic Burger.

    That said, I'm most likely waiting for Steam, not because I hate Epic, but because I really like Steam's UI, and features like in home streaming.

    Yeah if it was exclusive on GoG, or Humble, I would be annoyed but would probably have still pre-ordered. I'm boycotting EGS largely over their shitheel behavior and the tencent links, not because it isn't on steam. Also I hate exclusives in general.

    On the one hand what Epic is doing makes perfect business sense. It's what any company would do, and I can't necessarily fault them for doing it.

    On the other hand, the act itself is... not good. They're just walking in and trying to bully the competition away with money. With the bonus that they're being utterly incompetent doing it.

    It's not like Valve didn't bully people with Steam back in the day. There is a reason there is a market for Epic to launch a new store beyond greed. I mean hell EA and Ubisoft did similar stores we can assume because they got tired of Valve taking an unfavorable cut.

    But I'm getting BL 3 on console so the war doesn't effect me at all.
