It's not about who is using what from who, but about giving credit for using other people their shit.
There is no shame in them taking others people work, aslong as they still credit them for their work.

that's the problem. they DON'T give credit to skidrow. i've seen similar discussion on rin forum, everyone bashing skidrow for "stealing" p2p cracks. then a guy who did p2p cracks finally admits "skidrow didn't steal my crack, I actually use skidrow's DLL to make my cracks" and everyone shuts up.

they use skidrows dlls for patches only because of save compatibility - in case of Borderlands 2 some guy did better ceg-emu that skidrow on top of their basic dll(for save compatibility).

Finished most of the Torque content, those repeating quests will probably have to remain in the log forever since they can't be completed but otherwise it was pretty good.

Maybe because Gearbox outsourced of DLC creation it feels a bit different, TrypTech are credited for doing Hammerlock (In the ending credits.) but I don't remember whom were behind the other two.

Still it'll be interesting to see how they plan to finalize the season DLC content with this fourth pack.
(Unless they do a second season but I guess they'll keep to smaller content and patches only if even that, we'll see.)

... I still want to blow up that H shaped orbital space station...

Yes I seem to have gotten their name wrong. Smile

So they did the Scarlett DLC too? It was pretty OK actually.

This latest DLC though feels a bit weak, it's main quest isn't that long and the side quests seem to try and drag out the total play time a bit much, there's very few areas as well though on the plus side most are pretty big but also somewhat empty though the mobs of enemies are instead often put in larger groups although the new enemies can get frustrating easily but the DLC was meant to challenge higher-level players after all so it's as designed.

But it's better than over priced skins or bonus item pack DLC. Smile

Head back to Pandora to deck your characters out with awesome new looks -- 2K and Gearbox Software are thrilled to announce that new heads and skins are coming for all of the playable characters in Borderlands 2 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC!

A total of 15 new customizations sets will be available beginning today*, spanning three themes: Domination, Madness, and Supremacy. Each set includes a head and skin for one particular character class, with each set priced individually at 80 Microsoft Points / USD $0.99 / GBP £0.75 / EUR 0,99 €.

Check out the sinister “Madness” themed sets for each character below:



Also available is the Borderlands 2 Season Pass, a great offer that includes four campaign content add-ons (Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty, Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt, and the upcoming fourth campaign add-on) for 2400 Microsoft Points / USD $29.99 / GBP £19.99 / EUR 29,99 € -- a savings of 25% over buying each add-on individually.

Anyone else having problems getting the DLC to work? I installed Skidrow's release, applied the patch, installed the DLC and copied the crack over like the nfo states and created a firewall rule to block the executable from making any connections. When I go into the Downloadable Content submenu from the main menu I get an error message that the downloadable content cannot be enumerated.

Windows 7 Pro 64bit, for what it's worth and the problem occurs with either of the DLC bundles Skidrow has put out thus far.

That's normal, just load your save and you should see the new locations in fast travel menu.

You mean the pirated DLC works with the legit Steam version of the game itself? And if so, just this latest one and did you do anything special? Smile

Hmm. I haven't actually started a game yet because I wanted to make sure the DLC worked and I figured if it wasn't showing in the menu then it wasnt working. Interesting, I'll have to check that out, thanks.

are they all scaling to whatever level i am? also, dont want to be overpowered by the endgame, so maybe keep dlc's for after?

They scale to around your level but there might be a minimum level as well.
(First playthrough usually scales up to level 36 or some such, second one scales up to 52 which I think is the max that the creatures can have at the moment, for the player it's 50.)

You get some rewards and such which is also leveled to your character but you can always return later and kill the boss creature usually associated with that quest for a chance to regain a new version of that weapon at higher levels. Smile

That was the case in the first game as well, the game really isn't designed for completionists. The only thing they did add was when you go into a new area, it scales the enemies to your current level... but then that's fixed after the first time.

So if you want to play a bit more loosely and just run ahead to new areas to explore or whatever, that also becomes a bad idea since you level up so fast, an entire new zone that you may have just entered earlier to have a look is now completely underlevelled for you when you return.

From my experience with BL1, you have to pretty much stick with the main quest only and ignore side quests if you want the levelling to be more or less "right", otherwise it gets too easy.

Well the way I see it it actually rewards completionists by giving them an easier task when they're going to face the boss fights. I'm normally not a completionist as I usually don't care about the "collect x number of feathers/coins/chests" crap and am more focused on the real substance of a game, but in BL I realized how rewarding exploring and doing every possible sidequest was, + I do enjoy the "going to new areas" aspect of games even if they're not mandatory for storyline completion Smile

Same goes for games like Darksiders 1/2. That's an aspect I really appreciated of those games.

Well from my experience, generally if you were 1 level or more below a boss/tough enemy = you're dead. If you were the same level as boss = dead. If you were 1 level above boss, very slim chance of surviving. 2 levels above and you'll absolutely piss through the boss like it was nothing. Doing all the side quests almost guarantees you to be at least 2 levels above the main quests which makes the bulk of the game too easy.

A few friends of mine and I played and decided on our 2nd run through to completely ignore side quests that time round as we found the game too easy before.

I think you may have misunderstood my point about exploration, I too like to wander and discover/explore, however this game almost punishes you for it because it sets the difficulty level of an area to when you first enter it. Therefore subsequent revisits, when you're supposed to go there for a main quest, are trivially easy because you entered the area an hour ago when you were 5 levels lower.

I guess in the one hand you have this kind of world difficulty scaling and on the other, you have Oblivion/Skyrim where the world constantly levels with you. The former, things become way too easy very quickly (especially if you explore areas you're not meant to be in yet) and for the latter, it doesn't really feel like you're levelling at all.

A difficult one to balance I suppose.

Yes, even if I don't generally agree with the way you see it, I do agree with this particular point. If they set the difficulty level only after receiving the related main story quest or something would be much much better. I don't know if that's as easy as it sounds to implement correctly without breaking balance though.

I used the SMAA injector and it worked fine.

Just put the 4 files for DX9 into the same folder as the borderlands2.exe.

MSAA should work if forced but the black outlines unless disabled in the config file will still have a bit of aliasing on them which you would need supersampling or maybe downsampling to smooth out. Smile
