    If so, to unlock Tier 3 Bar Brawl you only need to do
    • Highway To Hell
    • Welcome To The Jungle
    • Battle: Appetite for Destruction
    • Burn, Baby, Burn
    • Battle: Bar Room Blitz

    Just realised I've never even launched the prequel. I think I saw a comment that it was good but not as good as BL2 and subconsciously thought "Ok then".

    It's not, but it's much shorter. I'll play it with ya if you want.

    I have a character (Wilhelm) at level 4, stuck on the 1st boss :o

    It's like saying "I'll play a bit of Chess after I finish this game of Civilisation 5"

    Hold out for the moment and we do the odd Pre-sequal run as a group too :)

    Shhhhhhh..... my backlog is getting bigger, i managed to take destiny out of the machine for the last few weeks so I'm making progress haha

    Got to the teens I think in the prequel. It just did not do it for me. The whole oxygen thing is a pita.

    Also, just not as "vibrant" as BL2. In BL2 Sanctuary feels like - well a sanctuary. The main hub in the prequel does not.

    This Steep looks like it could be fun

    That bell at the end :D

    Yep could be fun, a lot might depend on how many you can have in an activity and regions at the same time. Things could get very repetitive very quickly though.

    Yeah the bell was a nice touch.

    I think they might be betting on the game sustaining itself through the challenges set by other players/friends. They seem to going for a real social / fun sport game. The social side is also highlighted with the whole replay feature/other people view/replay/upload, and setting the challenges from those replays.

    I would imagine any future DLC and expansions would be new locations (Hawaii or Australia for water sports) and the likes. USA locations for skateboarding, mountain biking. If they do have that sort of plan for it, it could be a surprise hit. It is Ubisoft though so who knows.

    Might be one to keep an eye on anyway.

    Rumour has it that each country will be getting it's own special level. Ireland's is the pilgrimage up Croagh Patrick.

    I can see problems alright with that model, I have done a fair bit of skiing and boarding myself - but I don't see it as the type of activity I'd play on a game (except for SSX Tricky!).

    So if they're planning on this being a social game, I can see them struggling to get numbers. Let alone maintaining a player base.

    Seems like a cool game concept though. I think where this game could really do well is, in a V.R. game mode - but even as I type that, I'm making myself dizzy :eek:!

    SSX is in my "fcuk you" pile after the last one. NO LOCAL MULTI-PLAYER? IN SSX? FCUK RIGHT OFF.

    Table top racers similarly can get fcuked - no local multi-player in a micro machines clone? Are you kidding me?

    Im up on Lvl 55 and 2/3rds and having a blast with BL2 still. Some of the stuff is a pain in the ass but then some of it is just so rewarding :)

    If you're trying to Rank up to 58 to join us before Sunday, UVHM Bar Room Brawl Tier 3 would probably be your best bet.

    Only reason I was suggesting the Brawl is it has a lot of guys, close together, who spawn often, and you get XP for turning it in everytime (I think) so it makes levelling up bit faster since you're not trapping around dealing with groups of 6 or 8 enemies at a time

    Yeah, walk in the door and throw a few slag grenades, then switch to my cluter grenades and throw a few in and its all done and dusted in a minute or so :D
    Oh and once I get sanctuary back from its little adventure and my farming spot is open then its XP and Loot overload :P

    Going to continue my Axton play through with herself later if anyone wants to take the other two spaces for some lolz

    TVHM: Lvl 31 -34 welcome

    Doing the Oasis DLC at the moment

    Dudeeile? Gimli?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,427 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    I'll definitely be on at some point. Need to kill some demons on Mars first but it shouldn't take long. Usually something scares me and I just say fk this and put something else on.


    Think my Siren is in that range (but may not be) and Siren is a Cormac acceptable character :)

    If the last time you played as a Siren was with me and Dudeeile, then yes it is the right level. You may just have been too drunk to remember.

    So we'll probably be on at 8:00 or 8:30, I'll throw a message up on the chat to confirm about 10 mins before.

    JCD is running a Siren too. Made life a lot easier last night :)

    Gimli, can you please, for the love of christ respec your skills to look like this before you jump in while you are at least partially sober

    I'll even give you a freaking AMAZING class Mod that dropped for JCD from a loot midget last night

    http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Legendary_Siren

    His was lvl21 and gave:
    • Cooldown Rate: 30% (i think)
    • Gun Damage: 30% (i think)
    • Increases movement speed while using Phaselock by 45%.
    • +2 Ward
    • +2 Accelerate
    • +2 Mind's Eye
    • +2 Foresight
    • +2 Flicker

    Not tonight, I'm having pints in the big smoke.

    If only I was home at a decent hour from work today :(

    Ah I'll just keep battering away on Krieg when I get home but might start my alt aswell.

    Boosted Totz to 21 last night after you went off and gave him a dupe of that class mod I posted on the last page of this thread (the level 21 Siren Legendary one). I can do the same for your siren too.

    Seems like we have Me (Gunzerker), You, Totz, Solvable and JCD all around the same level.

    Should try and all sync up between 23 and 26 and do a play through from Opportunity (The Man Who Would be Jack / Where Angels Fear to Thread)

    I'll be free Wed (after the match at 10pm) and Thursday (8pm or so)
