Borderlands 2 Catch-All

Did other people that pre-ordered from GMG get more than one key for the premiere club stuff? I can't see a way to access it, and it's not showing up in my DLC folder.

No, I just got the one game key from GMG. The premiere club stuff didn't show up until the SECOND time I ran the game. I think Borderlands needs to phone home once, and then the DLC appears correctly the next time you restart the game. Either that or the DLC servers that the in-game menu item connects to were simply getting pounded. In any case, the DLC eventually showed up correctly for me this morning.

I don't know if you just need to quit the game and restart or if you also need to shut down steam for it to appear because in my case I had actually shut down the whole computer between the time I installed and ran the game the first time and when I actually sat down to play a bit.

Sounds like a bad HD... not Steam.

Is it just me, or is the introductory miniboss

really tough? I died 3 times trying to kill that damn thing. Maybe I just suck. I better dial down the difficulty.

Nope, HDD is good; I ran my semiannual maintenance stuff to see if I should think about finally replacing the drive before I preloaded it. Steam install hung at some point today while unpacking and all that crap. I deleted the local content and re-downloaded and the install is going without a hitch now.

He's pretty easy if...

Spoiler:

you hide out in the little tunnel enclosure thing separating the two 'areas' of the encounter. It's very easy to dodge the ice, plus he can't seem to fit through the door...

Edit: Steam invite as well, please!

That skill is now in the siren's skill tree (Restoration).

Yeah, the changes to the skill trees completely changed who I am going to play. I had anticipated I'd play Axton, since I was Roland in BL and I always play the healer, but this time it's Maya. I'm going to have to get used to not being able to chuck out badass turrets, which I will sorely miss.

Thanks. I had already restarted my game a few times to no avail, but it's there after I restarted my PC once.

I have no idea if I'm doing this right (never played Borderlands 1) but I keep taking missions expecting a little 'take this to so and so' mission and wind up taking down massive multi-stage outposts half the map away. Feels nice and action-y.

Currently Level 10 and I have noone else playing on my XBox Live so if anyone wouldn't mind showing me what the game is really about in multiplayer then my Gamertag is "Crhistoph". Thanks!

Also, there seems to be A LOT of upgrades available in the skill tree but I figure from the achievements that my level caps out at 50? Should I be taking more care over how I'm investing my points, or will I eventually be able to upgrade everything anyway? And is this the type of game where I'm going to be starting a new concurrent game with each character class before long?

(So many questions!)

you won't be able to max everything, but you respec easily enough for cash.

I am starting with Maya too. I am going to focus on maxing out the Cataclysm tree for the final perk, but also give enough points to the healing tree to unlock health bullets. Although I live running with a straight up sniper, so it will be a tough choice initially.

Hey, all. Any early morning GWJ'rs out there? It's about all the time I get to play games anymore. I'll usually be on at 6 AM Central for an hour or two before work most days. If anyone wants to start some co-op characters, get in touch.

Steam ID is Stumpyia, find me in the borderlands GWJ group.

I'm enjoying Zero so far, although he's a little too squishy for my tastes. I love sniper rifles, however, so once I finally found one he started to grow on me.

If you are looking for people to play with add yourself to the 360 List and friend up people on the list.

I had the same issue. Had to delete local cache and restart the download.

Did Steam die for anyone else? Everyone got booted from my game and Steam says I'm offline.

I've got a level 19 Maya right now. Having a blast. Steam just dropped connection (Not Borderlands) for the second time today. It's a little frustrating but not too bad. I'm not sure what's up with that. I got kicked from a game.

Edit: Yes, LiquidMantis.

Boooo. Well, I needed to take a break to get dinner started anyway.

Yeah We were rolling 4 player too!

Well it could be the typical sign of success. Too many people trying to sign on at the same time and not enough bandwidth to handle the logins.

Steam seems to have gone offline for maint during prime time tonight lol:P

gah. Was headed over to League of Legends anyhow./

Just came back from work and Steam has died. Tears.

At least you can play it single player. It's nowhere near is frustrating as that other release this year.

Ah yes. THAT game that shall not be spoken of. (Damn you, Error 37!!)

Its absolutely great to have the option. Too bad some idiots, like myself, forgot to start downloading this morning. So that option isn't available either.

Just installed it! I'm about to start playing 2p coop with a RL friend. Apparently I tried to finish the install when Steam went down. Didn't realize it was them...I thought it was me! Thankfully it is working now, pre-order bonuses and all!

Please add me to the Steam group...I bit...again.

I'm a filthy skimmer today, but has it been mentioned that

Spoiler:

Handsome Jack has a sparkle pony made of diamonds?

gawd futureshop and/or canada post sucks so hard. was supposed to be delivered today. apparently delivery person doesn't know how to use a mail slot, left it with nearest post office which has hours 9:30 to 5:30 which is when I work, so it means I either have to screw up my schedule at work or won't be able to get ahold of it until saturday. so angry.
