Hoping they at least have the sense to do away with the unskippable intro cutscenes for every single character you meet in later playthroughs. poo poo got annoying real quick.

It disappoints me greatly that the colorblind options in-game do absolutely nothing other than put errors on the item tooltips.

Is there any good way to increase the drop rates of higher grade items in BL2?

Cheat Engine. There's a writeup in the OP about it, but I think the script linked requires an older version of the program to run.

So if I pre-ordered for Xbox360 through EB Games, do I need to tell Gearbox I have it coming to get key offers?

Shift key offers or preorder offers? If it's the former I got the e-mail before I preordered at all.

As an aside, what about a steam group? Are we going to use one of the older ones, or is someone going to make a new one?

We can repurpose one of the existing ones; it's probably easier than making an entirely new one.

The original Bordergoons group has the most members I think. Not sure who admins it though. Might even be me. :v: (not on my pc right now)

You're a mod on BG2 if that counts. Annoyingly Steam won't let me re-name the group.

Does multiplayer work if you unlock it early?

No. In fact, you'll want to go offline with Steam entirely, since it'll relock the instant it figures out you're not on a VPN anymore.

Borderlands 2 Saves.

Speaking of this, does anyone know where the saves need to be? That is, do you need to copy them into the Pre Sequel directory somewhere or is it fine being in the normal save folder?

If it's anything like the BL2 bonus ones, just in the normal save folder should be fine.

Not yet, but as I've said a bunch of times already I'd be fine with repurposing Bordergoons 2 for it.

It's in town, in the same general area the shift machine is. Right in the middle near the big drop.

Egh, I've done VPNing with other platforms like Origin, but they have a reputation for not caring. How dangerous is it with Steam?

e: And will I need to stay VPNed for the entirety of time playing, or just to launch the game.

Do it at your own peril, obviously, but they don't seem to care if you just use it for unlocking and nothing else. You'll want to take Steam offline right after it though, since it re-locks if it detects you aren't on a VPN anymore.

I was, but once I'd manually logged in to my SHIFT account at https://shift.gearboxsoftware.com/home, then unlinked my Steam account, then restarted the game and tried to log in through the game, it worked without a hitch. That might be worth trying.

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks!

I'm worried about the length of the game, also did they fix some of the issues 2 had? Like how a level 9 enemy would become a pain in the rear end to fight if you had a level 8 gun and the sheer bullet spongy-ness of some.

Solo seems okay scaling-wise so far, though I'm only at level 8 right now. Haven't had any real bullshit moments even in 3-player like we did in T/UVHM yet.

I like Claptrap so far because he echoes my statements of "gently caress you, assholes, I'm not dead yet" upon reviving via second wind kill (though a bit more eloquently than that). I can definitely see the steps backward they took from "annoying on purpose" BL2 claptrap to "naive ond optimistic" BL1 claptrap so I don't have any problems with him so far.

I have yet to see anything above green drop from an enemy, besides the blue laser you get from the second? boss. Chests are mostly green and white again. So basically it seems like the drop rates are unchanged so far.

This explains so much. I haven't found any purples at all, so I haven't been able to test it with non-golden chest weapons.

Edit: If legendaries are still a hilariously low drop rate, there's no way in hell I'm burning them at the grinder for anything.

Make sure you're not overheating, do a Steam verify on your install, turn your settings down. See if any of that helps.

IotD's have almost always been blue or purple so far for me, which is still a huge step up from BL2, where it was almost entirely greens. Actually makes checking vending machines worth it now.

To try to refine the point a bit, it's not so much the fact that there are gay characters in the game, but more that it feels much more like pandering than it did in BL2. It's much less subtle in this game, less offhand comment here and there, more in your face all the time.

It's based off your badass rank. It changes when you get more ranks.

I did every sidequest and including some extra stuff and standing around, my playthrough took 21 hours. Not bad! I'm gonna play through the game on TVHM too just to see if UVHM is the only unlock after it. Claptrap is so drat fun that I don't want to stop!

I'm really hoping they don't bring back UVHM. If they insist on it, at least make it so you don't die if you get sneezed at and literally all your ammo to kill a boss/badass enemy.
