"it was confirmed Maya would have died with or without Ava's inclusion" this doesn't really prove anything other than they intended for Maya to die in the plot, though. Ava, in the story as we received it, did influence the scenario and was a likely reason for escalating the encounter that got Maya killed. now, i'm sure there's some nuance you could argue about the story, but my comment here is about how the comment Epic made is kind of irrelevant, seeing as the point of contention is about how things happen within the story we got and not the writer's intent of killing off Maya regardless.

Am I supposed to believe that the girl somehow snuck by that many enemies without being seen fast enough to keep up with the Vault Hunter and Maya AND be in the room with the Rampager during the fight to watch the whole thing in person without getting hurt. That part is what is BS. It would have been better for her to be in the car (regardless of it getting blown up and respawning) and pop out right before the fight that to have her just appear and spout out her stupidity in that moment.

[@dyllanhill109]

It felt like the writers knew they wrote mighty characters in all the games that lead up to 3, and felt overwhelmed maybe or something like that, a mix of can’t continue on doing justice for the characters and a dislike for the fan base. Not that the fan base matters too too much with games, but when you kill off the characters, change the art style, and provide a lack of depth for the new villains and (likely) new characters who will or won’t be sticking around. I wouldn’t be surprised if they involve the timekeeper eridian later on. I will be surprised if they don’t retcon the latest bits of plot, or at least time warp patch things up.

I feel like the New-U was canon in the early stages of making Borderlands, as it was a fun, in-universe way to explain why everyone was crazy with little fear of death, and why the psychos and bosses respawned. An interesting way to bridge game design with story. But they probably would have abandoned that quickly as it meant the most simple stake for story writing; death, no longer applied.

[@andreauster1997]

I know i am late but to add to this is that a canon new u respawn system would kimda dumb from jack to not shut down. He tried to kill us but if the new u where canom this would mean he'd kill us but we woiöd just respawn until we kill him. So alone from that logic standpoint i'd say it should be only a gameplay mechanic but no canon

[@zuune4678]

​@@andreauster1997I'm also replying late, but I always saw it as him not really bothering to take you off the respawn list because of his arrogance and greed. If you die, he makes money. If you don't die, he's convinced you won't win anyway, so you're more of an annoyance than a threat, so whatever. Plus, he did hire you even if it was just to trick and kill you, maybe you got put on a list of Hyperion contractors that had respawning as a perk of working for the company. These are all just theories though. I'd personally assume everyone else in the Crimson Raiders was taken off the respawn list before he actually started his full takeover of Pandora just to make it easy to reduce resistance from the "evil bandits" that he saw as not even being human.

[@caleshiell5246]

Wasn't claptrap shot at the end of the claptastic voyage DLC? Would that explain the bullet hole? Because we know that frag-tp is the claptrap in bl2 from the scene after that DLC.

[@reesemckartnee8812]

Funny enough its was always the same Claptrap Unit through all of the games.

[@thefatherinthecave943]

Frag-trap IS our claptrap. After the events of the claptastic adventure, he had the frag-trap programming removed as it was part of the h-source. Jack shot him, dumped him in frostbite glacier, and then bl2 starts some time later

[@lillysoftpaws2716]

Clap trap was shot by handsome jack. he is the last claptrap that is alive AFTER PRESEQUEL

[@garrettschrepfer7659]

Lyuda and white death are a reference to opposing snipers in WW2. Lyuda being Russian and white death being Finnish in the Finnish soviet war. That reference with white death exclusive to Xbox 360 and lyuda exclusive to PS4 was a reference to the console wars at the time.

"who shot clap trap?" Meanwhile jack at the end of claptastic voyage dlc:

[@maxifernandez1760]

41:34 This entry referes to a pamphlet in the pre sequel that says "The Non-Canon Museum: New-U Stations! Skill Points! Plot inconsictencies!"

[@quentinmask5244]

Handsome Jack got put in the handsome jackhammer gun it talks

[@patrycksilva2974]

New-U isnt canon since every time someone talks with us after we beat a important boss, even if we die numerous times, they act like we killed it at first time. Besides that, all characters once playable and now dead dont return. Even in BL3 New-U jokes that they can bring us back at any time considering that we dont die in a custscene. About Rose being a Siren, the theory revolves around the fact that she has Core running through her veins and it kinda gives her the ability to strenghten her shots when flowing it into her gun. Her tattos are also marks of Core, as was said in the DLC that the more tattos you have inside the Devil Riders, higher your rank, and those tattos were made of Core. Besides that, she had control over the Ruiner (which, by the way, anyone would have if learned the song that her grandma teached to her mom, that teached to her), but everyone seems to forgive that both Rose and Ruiner were experiments of Jakobs with Core to (apparently) create a Siren and a Vault monster that would work under its control. Clearly she isnt a Siren And about no Invicibles for "over a year", thats not true. Borderlands 3 launched in september, Maliwan Takedown was launched on november, 2 months later. Of course it would be better to launch the game with a Invincible to fight, but telling that take over a year till we have one is a overstatement

The funny thing about the bee conference call is that is shows that the developers of the game at one point,particularly early on, actually intended to have a balanced game in BL2. But eventually the scope of how broken the game just never set in for them at this point. Weapon merging was discovered as a bug, and then people realized you can perform the bug by just using Salvador's gunzerking, combining rocket launchers with other weapons to apply their huge damage to a higher firerate gun was found, which eventually evolved to its peak of the pimperhab(Later when those weapons were released with dlcs). B0re was discovered to be completely broken and bugged letting Zer0(And later Gaige with a similar skill) one shot bosses like bnk3r and even raid bosses. Gaige can give herself permenant super powerful shield regen. Eventually it become obvious that the game was too broken to fix, and they didn't bother. You can tell they gave up because at one point, nerfing Shield Amp damage(Usually the bee due to no shield charge cost on the amp damage) and multi pellet weapons was patched in the case of the Conference Call, for being too powerful. But you can still combine the bee with other multi-pellet weapons to regain the effect. Like a ricochet fibber. That you use on gaige. With 400 anarchy stacks, and infinite shield regen with the buck up glitch and the Bee shield. The sad part of this is that in giving up in making a balanced game, they decided OP levels are fine. When really the only viable way to play in OP10 is to abuse the fuck out of bugs. I mean gaige can't even max anarchy stacks hive bomb raid bosses with a bee shield anymore on op10 the resistances are so ridiculous. Good thing she can make herself immune with the buck up glitch i guess.

[@rmx39]

main issue with bl2 is uvhm is an absolute disaster. forcing people to slag everything is incredibly unfun and repetitive. it's one of the reasons why i think the pre sequel is a more fun game to max out on: it feels way more balanced and doesn't overstay its welcome

[@sickofitall8486]

This thread is why I think BL2 is a tad overrated when compared to TPS and BL3. I think 3 is the best as far as gameplay, followed by TPS and then BL2.

[@CarnivorousApe]

I see your pimperhab combo and raise it with the pimp-cream. Moxxxi launcher that does about half the damage of the ahab but also heals you. Never have to switch out after finding that glitch. And if you run out of rockets then every pimpernel pellet gets money shot. Combine with a slag pimp and poof you're broken. First shot slags and the rest does triple damage and heals you.

[@baaddooshgaming609]

I don't think that makes him likely a robot. FL4K is likely familiar because they are both hunters, and if there's a hunter anyone in the Borderlands would know, it'd be Zer0. Besides, Zane also knows Zer0. Two fang is just like any other skill. Zane also has a two fang like ability to fire multiple shots. And numbers of fingers doesn't indicate if someone is a robot.

There are quite a few 'alternate' ways of Maya to die stories out there that coudld fit perfectly in the story. The unlock of the vault monster could initialy be prevented by Maya who sacrifice herself to hold back the planet, then Lillith does her thing. Another is she overdone her body using her powers, she slowely dying, bring Krieg back, give them their moment, she passes as she tells Ava she will be next. The whole problem (just like Roland or Birdie) is not the fact she would die, is the fact HOW she died. Ava first couldve grown into a likeable character (nobody likes her now), before Maya had to pass on. Sure some are mad about Maya dying, but majority is mad about how she had to die.
