Thanks. I ditched it a long time ago and felt kinda bad, but now I don't.

I used my pre-order artifact up until I got a bunch of nice second wind ones for my Gunzerker.

I pretty much only use Action Skill cooldown relics so far. Found one a while ago that cut my Deception's cooldown by 20% and I'm having a hard time turning back.

Gaige's skilltree

Very curious as to whether the Infinity Pistol works with the Ordered Chaos tree. Specifically SLF and Anarchy. Interesting synergy between it, Blood Soaked and Discord. I hate how electric element oriented LBT is and I'm only interested in the DT skills and the final two from BFF.

I have to admit this tempered my hype for Gaige a bit. If DT isn't worth the ridiculously high cooldown rate then I may be struggling to finish a playthrough with her as I am with Maya.

Pitchford tweeted this, curious to see what it is.

@DuvalMagic: There may be a big surprise from us within the next 24 hours or so. Stay tuned!

Probably something to compete with the release of Dishonored and the new ME3 MP DLC tomorrow. Either way I hope it's worth stalking his twitter page and I don't miss out on it.

Wow, Gaige's tree is crazy.

Thank you, I'll equip something else for sure now.

I'm guessing it's an early release for Gaige.

Guessing you are right.

Just want to publicly thank Necromantix (not sure what his CAG name is) for taking a few hours this morning and helping me get from 39 to 43, and majorly progressing me through the story. It was greatly appreciated.

Even better.

Just started the first game. Man I've got a long road ahead.

A long road indeed... You may be sick of Borderlands by the time you get to #2. >_>

Gaige sounds awesome. Dunno if I could stand to play through the game, again, so soon, though. Probably have to power level her up instead...


Edit: I don't know if I'd be sure that the Mechro would be ready, so soon. Remember Microsoft's tedious certification process? They'd have had to be done with her before this week, I think. I guess it's possible... PS3 and PC would get it, at least.

Anyone else underwhelmed by Gaige's trees. They seem to be interesting and different but I don't know if the quirks are worth the effort. It would be annoying to build up stacks of anarchy only to lose them when you accidentally reload trying to open chest/pick up ammo. I guess it depends on how good deathclap is and how damaging the melee override is. It also doesn't help that the elemental she specializes in are IMO the lesser two (shock and explosion). We'll see.

Quite possibly... I pretty much soloed the first game all the way through (had no one on the friends list playing at the times I was online or close to my level) and stopped twice before getting through it all. (Then found someone to play the first with and made much better progress through it on my second playthrough and DLC.)

That said, anyone playing the first hang in there, the second is a much better experience for a solo player.. (As I've pretty much soloed this one too.)

Which sort of brings me to this...

I'm getting ready to get on, I'm playing a first playthrough level 31 commando, and should be online most of the night/morning so if anyone is looking to team up send me a friend request.

Looks like I guessed right.

The final raspberry (I don't like cherries as much) on this cake is that Gearbox decided to release the DLC early. So while it was originally slated for an October 16th release, players on all platforms—Xbox 360, PS3, PC—will be able to download the Mechromancer by the end of today (October 9th). And you should, because she's great.

Yep pitchford just tweeted it also. Tomorrow's going to be a good day.
@DuvalMagic: So - here's the surprise, Mechromancer for Borderlands 2 is ready about a week earlier than I promised. Oct 9, all platforms. Woo!
