Greetings, Traveler!

When seeking co-op partners, don't forget to mention your platform, PC, Xbox, or PS3: you can add suitable Flair to your post title, or simply [Tag] if you'd like. Timezone (for schedule) and geographical location (for lag) can also be significant. PC players may instead prefer to coordinate via Steam.

Modding policy

If you have a problem with modding, that's fine; however, that's your personal opinion. Don't tell anyone else that they're not welcome here because they play the game differently than you.

If you do use mods, mark your post accordingly using the "mods" button when you're requesting partners.

Spoiler policy

During the initial release of Borderlands 2, all game content revealed in comments should be tagged as a spoiler. Spoiler tags look like URL links with a special "/spoiler" target. For example:

[text goes here](/spoiler)

yields text goes here. You can change the spoiler label like this:

[text goes here](/spoiler "BL2")

to get text goes here.

FTFY

[–]n00bskoolbus96.5% MORE WUB WUB -2 points-1 points ago

I also fixed it. Thanks though :P

[–]Brandonspikes5/5 Relentless 7 points8 points ago

You know you can just set up a VPN to NA.

I did it for Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, and Dragon Age 2.

[–]pytagoras 6 points7 points ago

I tried using a VPN to unlock Civilization 5 on Steam a bit earlier and received a two week tempban while they "investigated a possible unauthorized access" on my account.

[–]Brandonspikes5/5 Relentless 6 points7 points ago

You can only get in trouble if you try and get the game cheaper via VPN.

Straight from valve

HOWEVER, the use of proxies and/or VPN with Steam is not supported, meaning if things don't work, don't expect any help from Valve. Essentially, if it works, great, but if not, you're on your own.

Using a VPN or proxy to get a game unlocked at its earliest possible time will not get your account blocked. Using a VPN or Proxy to pay for a game so that its cheaper would get your account blocked as it would be considered as fraud.The only reason why we have seperate release dates now is because of retail sales practices

[–]pytagoras 3 points4 points ago

Seeing that the release of Civ 5 was 2 years ago, things might have changed. It was all about unlocking the game as well. I already had it pre-ordered.

[–]Brandonspikes5/5 Relentless 4 points5 points ago

Well i'm just letting you know I've been doing it for the past year with no problems.

[–]1k2ka 3 points4 points ago

So how do you do it? It it just installing a VPN and then restarting Steam and it will unlock the 18th? Also, what VPN do you use?

[–]HowieGamingDaemmerung's son. 1 point2 points ago

I did this with BF3, used n asian proxy, got the game about 20 hours before my time.

[–]miranpav 2 points3 points ago

Yes, please let us know. I am dying to play this game.

[–]aspireS 1 point2 points ago

Do you recommend a VPN for this job? I don't wanna wait til Friday, even through waited months for game to release, you know...the hype.

[–]StylogicSo when are they gonna turn the water back on? 0 points1 point ago

I'd do this but i have no idea how. Waiting until the 21st knowing people are already playing BL2 is gonna be painful.

[–]boothroyd917Heavy Weapons Guy 10 points11 points ago

YOU GET THE NEW JAMES BOND MOVIE 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE US, I THINK YOU HAVE THE EDGE

/rant

[–]okaylogarithm 3 points4 points ago

I'm ok with waiting 3 days for Borderlands 2 because we got The Avengers 3 weeks before you, though you get Cloud Atlas 6 months before us... So I think you still have the edge overall. :(

[–]Explosions_Hurt 1 point2 points ago

Cloud Atlas 6 months before us

Holy shit as someone living in Ireland I'm beyond pissed to hear this now D: Why such a huge delay?

[–]okaylogarithm 0 points1 point ago

I have literally no idea, there's just no rationalizing that sort of delay... Basically just asking for it to be pirated.

[–]Explosions_Hurt 3 points4 points ago

I can guarantee there will be a 1080p rip leaked before the release date here. Same thing happened for ''Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close'' over here.

[–]okaylogarithm 0 points1 point ago

Well I'll probably be watching it, and if it's good they'll get their money back when the DVD is out over here.

[–]AscendantJustice 2 points3 points ago

I am so sorry. I can barely wait till Tuesday.

[–]jebbyc 2 points3 points ago

Similar to how I feel having ordered it from the UK, living in Australia.

[–]Mickster1267Fists of fury! 2 points3 points ago

I know your pain man. I know your pain...

[–]AdamGC 2 points3 points ago

I know that feel, good sir sniff

[–]samsaBEAR 2 points3 points ago

I am a frequent watcher of a gentleman named Xcalizorz on YouTube. He lives in America, I live in the UK, I want to watch his playthrough (he did the first game with his friend and it's seriously hilarious) but I don't want to spoil it for myself. First world problem.

[–]A_wild_fusa_appeared 2 points3 points ago

I know I'm a dick but I'm going to play this game while talking to my British friends, I wont say spoilers just stuff like "ooo this gun has better damage".

[–]ply447 0 points1 point ago

Friend in Australia did that to me with skyrim, caused me to break down and VPN it when it hit Europe.

[–]SparkazYou're not a skag are ya? 0 points1 point ago

I'm Glad that EB games in New Zealand let me get my pre-order on the 20th. but still have to wait.

[–]TheWumboMan 2 points3 points ago

I'm just glad that the 21st is a Friday so I can get it on the night after college and play it all weekend.

[–]squireee 1 point2 points ago

Indeed. I can't understand why games are still released on different days on such a globalized market

[–]cocquyt 2 points3 points ago

Physical distribution. Games are released on tuesdays in the US because of the shipping schedules for retail stores. In different countries things vary but they still want to time to digital distribution with the local retail sales.

[–]elementalguy2 0 points1 point ago

I'm getting it for pc and my current one has decided to crash whenever steam starts, re-installed steam and it does the same. Getting a new one (5 years old so it's about time, and it has other problems too) so I'l not get to play for a while longer yet :(

[–]arche22 1 point2 points ago

It could be worse, I can't afford it at all for the foreseeable future! :D

[–]kungfukai 0 points1 point ago

Aussie here, I know your pain right now.

[–]nthcxd 1 point2 points ago

I am, so, so, so, so, sorry. I really am.
