Do only some bosses scale? I went back to a really early area (the ship in the ice) to look for a Vault symbol and the boss there (Flynt) is really easy now.

I don't know if older bosses scale or not. I know that whatever I'm facing in an area with a Quest available, enemies scale to me. It's frustrating. I can't beat this one side boss in Lynchwood because of it.

I just hate enemies scaling to me in general, but the way this game handles it is probably the worst I've ever seen because of the sheer volume of enemies.

Played Flynt last night with my friend for the second time; we're both level 14 now and he went down in about 15 seconds. Definitely looks like Flynt doesn't scale, along with all the regular enemies in his area. Dropped the same level 4 pistol as he did the first time, too.

Well, (and this is not to just dismiss your complaint) one of the biggest problems people had with the original Borderlands was how even the highest level enemies were totally outclassed by a level 50 character. One of the DLCs rebalanced all of the enemies in the game.

I'm not sure how it works in B2, there are definitely some zones where enemies stay permanently low level but others seem to scale. I'm sure there's some pattern.

Wtf one of my spins on the slot tossed out a live gernade and almost killed me. Paid to get wounded.

Also are people finding the qr codes? When I play with my kids on two consoles he can see the qr codes but they dont show up on my screen (I am host)

The machines spit out grenades maybe 5-10% of the time for me, and it's costing almost $1000 per pull. But it's not like $100k does me any good.

I haven't looked for QR codes myself.

As for mobs leveling with you: We went through zombies and claptrap expansions in B1 getting 1-4 xp a kill, so I'm glad they level with you. I mostly use +accuracy skills and mods, and the strongest shotguns I can find. I've been able to one or two shot most Badasses all game. Right now, I think I have a 460x19 explosive shotgun with 40 accuracy at level 31.

Happens all the time to me (the grenades). I've been running the slots a ton trying to get that challenge done (3 vault symbols or 3 eridium bars I think - I've gotten everything but those so far).

QR codes? Whaa?

As for loot, I got an orange shield from a really early Lilith mission I think (the Firehawk one maybe?) - it seemed to me it was the standard reward. Are others not getting that?

Rewards have random stats. GF and I did a mission last night, and her pistol said ~4000 damage, while mine was like 120x1. Both had 50% more love =P

Speaking of slot machines and grenades. I had no idea nades came out and as luck would have it I got two nades on both machines at the same time. I ended up dying in sanctuary and could not get a second wind because there is nothing to kill.

This is the problem with second wind and flame damage after everything is dead. SOB

I can understand the complaints, but I think this goes in the complete opposite direction. I'm not really seeing a good balance here. The game really seems thoughtless when it comes to single player. Sometimes I'd go through areas and have 50+ enemies spawn, and then I'd go back through the same area again with someone only to have 15 enemies spawn. It really seems off.

Anyway, just beat it. The final boss was extremely long, tedious, and not very fun. This took about 20 minutes with 3 randoms mind you, with several people dying over and over again. I don't see how you're supposed to do that alone unless you're some kind of Overpowered God. Complete and utter disbelief right now.

Pitchford tweeted that they plan to do two more code drops tomorrow with one in the morning and the other in the evening. Each time it will be a code which can be redeemed 1000 times and the redeemer receives 5 golden keys.

Holy hell - don't want to miss that. I wonder what "morning" means to them. I'm usually up till 5 or 6 am Pacific so if they do it early East Coast time I might snag it then.

Ah, just checked the tweet and it is central time. Well, screw that - I'll be asleep for sure .

I don't know, I beat it solo on level 30/31 (leveled up during the fight) with a Siren. Some of the earlier bosses were actually harder I thought.

I'm with you I just beat it on solo with my Level 32 Siren.. its all about the guns you choose to use and how fast you are. It took all of 5 minutes if that. Loved the game though. Now I gotta go back and play the rest of the missions to get that Platinum trophy baby!!! already at 67%

If you die, when you respawn back up at the top, you can jump on the cliff to the left of the blue barrier so that you have perfect view of the enemy while being protected by the barrier. You wont get any critical hits so it takes quite a while, but it was definitely the easiest/stress free way to beat that boss. He sometimes jumps to the middle of the screen, out of your view from the cliff, but I found if you jumped you could time it right to where you hit him over the barrier.

"Platinum"... "trophy"... ? Surely you meant to say "1000 gamerscore".

This one seems a good deal more involved than the original Borderlands. For one thing you have to play a significant portion of the game as Gunzerker and Assassin for their achievements (or have someone power level you I guess). Completing all challenges seems like it will be a major pain.

Isn't it just complete the first level of each non-area based challenge?

Yup. Even so, there's a lot of them.
