We need to get some communication going B-Team or whatever.

well by communication, it would be more towards the idea of practicing the same route as the A-team so that if we are needed to fill in, we can. or in the very off chance that we could do a better job than A-Team.

If we are going to take this serious, then we need to start setting up practice runs (if we are actually going to be serious about this. I know I am.)

Edited after below post: Good man ^_^ while I might be a bit busy today with other things, if you want to take time to practice the route, we can team up and see what we can do.

I'd like to take this serious.

I would like to call our team something besides B team. Even just like, "Alternate team". Or "Team 2". But in a world where letters are used to assign levels of success, there's no reason to stick to a diminutive label.

I won't be able to play until the 20th or so, but after that I'm totally down to take this seriously.

My experience is primarily playing Mordecai, but I have also done some Lilith and Brick. I'm on EST.

We can deliberate what to name the team later, but for the time being, I can see how Team B could be downplaying the reserve players, so we will be Team 2 until further notice (and as soon as TRUshade, Youkai, and others name their team).

Team 2 (Pending Name)
---
MAS8705- TheMASterBlader (MST)
Heidrage- Heidrage
FlamingMage- Huh?

(EST)
HiipFire- Da Assault (GMT +1)
tenfoLd- iLLixiR (EST)

Again, I would say that either we set up a time for all of us to play at one time, otherwise we can try and meet up with each other or the runner from Team 1 in order to help each other succeed. We are a team of 9 people, but only 4 can do the run: Let us help each other in order to ensure we succeed! (And also to show gearbox that we will be ready to go full frontal on Borderlands 2)

((Edited: to reflect Time zones))

Also I like that idea of Dahl and Atlas. although we aren't going to finalize anything name wise since it would not be fair to the first four if they can't give themselves a name first.

Also, one last thing... For anyone who needs a partner in practicing the route or verifying the route works, you can send me a message on Xbox Live at anytime that I'm on and I'll be happy to help out... Where things stand right now, I'm doing my "Wanting to do 5 speed runs but can't focus on doing one" dance.

Can't wait to see this take off. All my HYPE are belong to you.

And since A & B or 1 & 2 may sound like downplaying how about enemy types like The Skags & The Bandits or maybe even brands like Team Dahl & Team Atlas. You could come up with whatever but I guess actual progress is more important than team names.

oh geez, you guys are just so funny.

Though what I have noticed now

The route is getting changed a bit, picking up a few more quests now and such. Due to being a little bit underlevel. Also incorporating the duplication glitch into the run to. To save time and gain a lot of money. Though more info will come.

And another thing is, if I can, I would like to see another team do a 100% run of it

Team name wise....oh geez. We will see

Edit: 100% team would include me, so 3 other people

TheVoid

2012-07-31 12:34:05 am

Team Pandora and Team Hyperion? Wink

100% would be neat as well.

100% ?? good god i hope that don't includes the dlc. that would break me.

TrUShade

The TrUest of Shades

no, just main game. DLC is a good question that needs to be answered but that can be answered later

FlamingMage

2012-07-31 09:42:53 am

Do we have a standard definition of 100%? I guess just all the missions? Sounds a little insane, I like it.

brassmaster

2012-07-31 09:47:34 am

I would think all missions which would include the one after destroyer as well.

TrUShade

The TrUest of Shades

Yah, so what I think would be most effective would be.

Finish Destroy The Destroyer
And then return the key to Tannis.

You Win.

Willing to teach you the impossible

I am sure this will be explained later, but I dont know about the duplication glitch...

This main run is about any% correct? Also, being that I never played more than 2p before, how much tougher are the mobs in the game?

Edit: Also this semester is just about over. The times I cant play will be monday night through thursday afternoon. Anytime besides that I am free. So more game time for me. If a late night attempt happens during serious gameplay, times can be bent/broken (I know where my priorities are)

Mobs are almost 4x harder in 4player runs.

Dup glitch is as best as I can explain it, that since the game doesn't really save game data till you exit the game (or till you warp to another area) you can. Say after beating Nine Toes and get the clipper.

One person picks it up, and then you warp back to Arid Badlands. The person with the clipper can drop the gun and then get kicked from the lobby by the host. What happens is that the game thinks you still dropped the gun, but at the same time you haven't really cause the game hasn't 'saved' your character that has been kick. The person rejoins and then you have two clippers, repeat a second time for 4.

This is kind of using the same logic as the segmented run (in single player at least), cause you just exit the dashboard and then reload the last real save you had. But I mean others can explain it a bit better then me though.

Good enough. I get it.

This also should avoid the SS with resets category since one player will be in the entire time. The only thing that we need to make sure, is that all players are present when completing quests.

The Dork Knight himself.

Hmmmm, since this run is gonna count on 4 players actually playing the game, kicking a player to dup a weapon might not be legal unless a special rule is made. Might wanna see what Flip has to say about it.

the kicked player would immediately rejoin the game so no progress is made without the other players

100% would be madness to do in one sitting, and probably could be handled better if done through a solo runner, rather than a team.

Anyway, I've sent out friend invites to everyone on Team 2 just now.

Edit: With Osey adding his hat into the ring, might as well quickly update the team 2 roster really fast...

So techically speaking, we apparently have 10 people planning to work on a 4 man co-op. Hugs all around people. Smiley

2012-07-31 06:58:03 pm

100% would be easier actually we actually tried to run 4 co-op and level is madness it's really hard since difficulty goes up with more ppl
With 100% you wont really have that problem
