Yeah, as long as you can trigger the fix by continuing a game with a character whose challenge progress calculates to more than your current BAR total**. You'll also get back any missing head/skin rewards (not those picked up, and not sure about the SHiFT Halloween ones).

If you have multiple characters, you'll need to continue a game with each of them (after triggering the fix) in order to restore their BAR and heads/skins.

GBX is urging people that lost more than 10 keys to file a ticket at support.gearboxsoftware.com (after the update) to obtain the remainder.

** The fix won't trigger in certain situations, such as playing a new/multiple characters after the BAR reset and having since accumulated more BAR than any single character's challenge progress represents :(

...and lost stash items are gone for good.

I never understood all the hate for the bee. Sure, it's powerful but I don't believe it reduces the multiplayer experience because it is co-op and certainly doesn't kill a solo game experience.

LOL @ at a second Bee nerf. If I had to make a list of words ruined due to gaming 'balance', 'adapt', 'overpowered' and 'variety' would be locked in a four way eternal struggle for the very top.

Borderlands 2 Creature Slaughter and Collector's Edition Packs For Sale Now


Not sure if the are worth it? Creature Slaughter dome for $4.99 (400 MS points). CE Heads and skins for the same price. Any thoughts?

http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/commu...-edition-packs

Very cool that it's available. I don't think I'll be shelling out though.

Nice that those are now attainable at non-ebay prices. Have always been curious about the CS dome.

Passing on all paid DLC, myself, in hopes of a massive GOTY down the road.

• Players can now 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. This option will appear as a tooltip at the bottom of the “challenges” screen within the status menu if the player has met the criteria.

Today's Patch revealed the next DLC.

Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt.

No info on release date though. Cap raise please?

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/12/..._medium=social

Face Off - Completed the mission: "The Fall of Nakayama" (Bronze trophy)
Been there - Discovered all named locations in Hammerlocks Hunt. (Silver trophy)
Done that - Completed all Hammerlocks hunt side missions. (Gold trophy)

I wish they would start actually trying with these acheivements/trophies.

Yeah they are a little bland. Especially considering the writers come up with such brilliant dialogue you would think they could get creative. Maybe it is the easiest way to get the DLC out fast.

Nothing concrete, but Pitchford did allude to DLC dropping before the end of the year in this video.

Maybe the DLC will drop when the Season pass is on sale for the 360 (at least that is the thought). I won't complain about paying $30 for the DLC because I love the game but I should have known this would happen since GoW 3 did the same thing last year. I am not going to tell any company how to run their business but it would be appreciated if they put out all DLC before dropping the price on a "Season Pass".

Thanks for the reference to the season pass sale. Had not seen that thread yet.

Although the thought of using discounted points to buy a discounted season pass which represents discounted DLC (discount triple-check?) warms my heart, it really is a way to alienate a dedicated fanbase.

I just wonder how much content WILL NOT be included in the season pass. I mean, 3/4 of the campaign DLC will possibly hit the street in the first 3.5 mo after release. Does that mean the bulk of the next 8.5 mo (or whatever) will be spent generating stuff that will cost MORE? Character classes 6/7/8...? Will we need a 2nd season pass?

damn borderlands 2 season pass is already on sale? I need to stop buying season passes and just wait

I just got the PAX complimentary pass off ebay just last week for $18, had to holla at 2K Games because it took 2 days before they sent me an Xbox code to redeem, finally got it, and a week later I got a second season pass code via email lol

CS dome worth 400 MSP?

No

it seems dlc is being released a bit too quickly. a 3rd dlc within 4 months of release is crazy

Thanks. Glad I did not send in my Amazon trade yet...yes I am trading it for now. Until there is a level cap raise I am just not interested in playing right now. Since I paid $20 on BF and they are going to give me $35 I thought why not.
