Ok BL2 pros...

I finally got to Jack but Im only level 27 Assassin, should I go for it or wait awhile and do some side missions to get a nice weapon and level up more before I go heads up with him because that blue and red line for him seems to go all the way across my television lol

I'm going to use a gold key to see if that helps any

Yeah a bit of a cash grab but since I play solo it does not bother me one bit. In fact it is weird that they emphasize this so much in a FPS where I cannot even see my character that often. It is not like Gears 3 where you see the changes all the time.

With the special edition skins, you get them in your inventory and then you can drop them for people who didn't have them.

I wonder if buying them unlocks them for you or if they are items put on your character and people can duplicate them. I can't imagine they would let that happen, but I didn't think it would work with the special edition ones either.

I think I read that the paid DLC skins and heads just appear in the customization station, with no item you could drop or trade. They learned their lesson from the special edition DLC. Speaking of, anybody have an SE Maya head they could drop for me?

When I beat Jack on my assassin before it got corrupted, I think I was at 30 or 31, but it was a cakewalk, so I would think you would be fine.

Good find, thanks.

I finally started my second playthrough this weekend and good lord, i was not prepared to die so much.
I was doing fine until I got to Captain Flynt but kept dying. Is it supposed to be that much harder on 2nd second run through?

I'm level 33 right now. It sucks that after I beat the game on my first play, I got the Flakker, which I read is the worse "rare" gun in the game.

Should I farm the Warrior for better gear before I keep going?

Pt2 is definitely a lot harder than pt1. I wouldnt waste any time farming at your level. Do all that once you hit 50.

Doing all the DLC in the middle of my TVM play through. Well, now that I think of it I did the Pirates on the normal playthrough, so that's available to do again on my TVM playthrough. I won't bother most likely. Maybe when they raise the level cap. But I'm more at the point of just trying to hit 50 and play the season pass DLCs as they come out. Not sure if I'll finish the TVM playthrough to be honest as I'm getting a bit burned out on the game.

Thing is DMaul everything scales better when played in TVHM so if you're wanting good loot go ahead and do Scarlett's DLC again. It should be close to level 50 in TVHM.

We were just discussing level on normal mode last night.

No there is no inventory item for these they go straight to your customization station so you cant trade them

Oh I know.

I just don't have that much interest in tackling the extra "impossible/invincible" bosses really, so I'm not that obsessed with finding rare loot.

Mainly just playing the DLC as it comes out and pushing for level 50 along the way.

Damn only 80 msp for Mechromancer Supremacy Pack? Sold.

It's a shame though the new patch wiped XXX head from my available headskins even though I'm wearing it. It'll be gone until I decide to run terra another 100 times.

That's the one I got too. So much for it being rare online.

It won't be rare its the only decent looking skin for all of the characters. The rest are pretty bad.

Thanks for the feedback, I opted for doing the side quests, I tried Jack on lvl 27 but I only have a 2000 shield so I dont stand a chance,especially since I found out once I got his shield down the mechs started to come into play. I'm on the verge of lvl 30 now, bout to get some clothes for Mal robot quest.

Anyone online right now, want to go for Voracidous in TVHM?

Any games I could join tonight to help keep leveling my Mechro? I'm at 18 right now. I really miss the Roland turret and perks. Shooting somebody to give them health, auto dispense health and ammo turret. This commando I just cant get into.

I like Axton. Sure, ammo regen was awesome, but so is the massive damage boost from the turret (slag + missiles + double guns + increased damage when it's deployed).
