Borderlands 2 Catch-All

PC Update:

Gearbox Software Support wrote:

Update v1.1.3 (Released 10/25/2012)
~Added a toggle for whether textures should fade or pop in when a higher-resolution version loads. High-end computers can disable this to avoid seeing lower-resolution textures streaming in.
~Added the ability to reset all challenge progress for a character once they've completed 85% of all non-DLC, non-area-specific challenge levels. This will keep the player's current challenge bonuses and rank, but reset all challenge progress to 0 and allow challenges to be re-completed for additional ranks and bonuses. Resetting is available on the "challenges" screen of the status menu and will display as a tooltip at the bottom of the screen if the player has met the criteria.
~Fixed a bug where profile files set to "read only" were not being saved.
~Fixed a performance issue in Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty content with PhysX set to Medium or High.

Whoa... Interesting!

Yikes! I'm already at about +10% across the board due to Badass Ranks. That update is insane. With that I think I can push to +20% easy. Man. I'm a little conflicted about whether I want to do that or not. Game's a little bit of a pushover on Gaige already, and I'm tackling Tough missions on Maya like it was nothing.

Hm.

Have you guys tried using Axton's Turrets to do the actual luring into the acid pools?

Wow that's an interesting change. I'm at 7-8% on most stuff, but what a boost that would be.

We got him tonight with two commandos. Having two people with turrets is almost essential. You definitely need a siren, my role, res-ing people too. UNFORTUNATELY, he bugged when we killed him and we didn't get any seraph crystals.

Apparently that patch has rendered my Borderlands 2 unplayable. I can't even start the game. After clicking play on the initial launcher splash, I get this error everytime:

I've updated my driver to the latest one and restarted my PC. Didn't help.

[edit]

And right after posting that, I tried one more time, and the game launched fine. Weird.

Hurray for problems solving themselves! I hope it doesn't happen again.

Raid style bosses in borderlands is lame. that's like adding an adventure mode to minesweeper....err um..

Seems more like making the one armed bandit have the ability to just shoot back at you rather than just pulling its arm.

I am kind of hating the way the Golden Keys are awarded. It really rewards the people with nothing better to do than play Borderlands 2 and check twitter all weekend who probably don't even need them, while pretty much leaving people like me who don't have that type of free time and are still on our first play-through with our first character sh*t out of luck. It would be nice if we could buy them with Eridium or earn them through some other in-game means.

Also I have another idea for spending left over eridium that would be cool for a future update or DLC: weapon upgrades. Make it so you could spend an amount of eridium equal to the level of the gun to upgrade it one level (i.e. to upgrade from level 25 to 26 would cost you 25 pieces of eridium).

To be fair, all the codes have been given away on Fri evening or all day Saturday so far. And you get about 3 hours from code giveaway to code redemption expiration. So far I've been able to get them just by checking this thread a few times during the day. Someone (usually Eldon) is always nice enough to post in here when they see the codes.

These ones sound like they are less limited at least. Last weekend I tried a few less than two hours after they had been posted and they were already fully redeemed.

I have missed at least two of the keys due to being busy actually playing the game.
But it's good that they put out the schedule ahead of time this time.

EDIT2: Looks like Rallick beat me to the twitter codes

Huh, I got mine from Facebook. I don't even follow Gearbox on Twitter. I just happened to see them and thought I'd share. Let me try the ones you posted and see if they work for me too.

Edit: Sweet! The code you got from Twitter works too, so I got two gold keys from this promo. Sounds like this weekend is going to be good for codes!

Thanks Rallick and Eldon, 2 new keys for me!

Yeah, baby! Thanks, Rallick and Eldon!

Whoa a different key on each network. Nice!

Whos brilliant idea was it for the 5am CT key drop? I can confidently say I will NOT be redeeming that one! Thanks for the reminder on the keys.. signed up now on both twitter and FB.

Europeans are people too, well, sort of.

Apparently before launch Eridium was used for weapon upgrades but the system got to complicated with all the permutations of weaponry and they stripped it out of the game last minute.

Also if the keys/loot mean that much to you, it's not that difficult to run cheat engine and "freeze" your keys to open the chest infinite times. Not that i recommend it as it may cause instability/crashes/the hammer from Gearbox but if you want the loot then hurray. I've been hoarding the keys i've gotten till i hit 50, but i realized the keys are better spent if i get bogged down with crap loot drops for a period and i need something to get me over the hump. Once i'm 50 the only thing left to do is grind more gear... so i suppose keys are insta grinding but then whats the point? Besides once i'm 50 i want Oranges not purple.
