ive done some calculating , and Zero has a skill that increases his damage by 6% each time he scores a critical hit with a sniper rifle (if you miss , the accumulated bonus is gone) accoring to the description , this can stack up to 999 times if you manage 999 consecutive critical hits. If calculated the damage bonus you would get then , and its
1.06^999 = 19.079.166.565.157.852.995.661.166
thats 19 quintillion times standart damage. should be enough to one shot the final boss hmm?
Holy shit that is insane.....

Also, I'm sure the damage is additive, not multiplicative. So your math is WAY WAY off.

well , the way they phrase it in the description it appears to be multiplicative, if you go to a bank and deposit 1000 bucks with 5% gain each year , you wont have 1100 after 2 years but 1102.5

Actually, no. It clearly says +5% damage per stack, +6% crit damage per stack. It doesn't say "x 105%" per stack.

but we dont actually know how the game will calculate that in code , it could be
damage * (1,06*number of crits) like you suggest
or
damage * (1,06 * 1,06 * 1,06.....) like i suggest
________ | number of crits |
the description at the moment could really mean both

WOOOOOOOOOO! JUST PREORDERED! ONE WEEK!
Also a nice reward after first wave of class tests.

Yes, but in the absence of evidence you have to rely on experience and common sense. Experience (i.e., past games) shows that it's probably additive. Common sense (i.e., your example calculation) shows that it's probably additive.

All of borderlands' other percent-based skills calculated from base. " +5%" also suggests this. Sorry, you really did lose that one.
At 999 consecutive criticals giving 5% each, you're looking at 50x original base damage. That's still pretty amusingly high. Of course, to get there, you've had to hit a thousand criticals. If it decays, it's not going to be outrageaous at all.

Regardless of the debate going on, who cares when you can have a turret with a mininuke that you can throw with the longbow skill upgrade. Muhahahaha/

Even without this, if you skill Zero to a sniper, the damage output is huge

I've been thinking the same thing. If only we could do what Cartman did in South Park. But I live in Florida and there is no snow

Ordered a GeForce GTX 670 for a computer I am going to build.
Received a free copy of Borderlands 2 with it. :D

You can pre-order a Steam version for $12 cheaper than Steam's store. They'll email the key to you on release day. + Show Spoiler +

Have they mentioned if theres going to be a pre-load of the game? nothing pisses me off more, than coming home, and trying to dload the game, when theres like 1 million other people on steam at the same time, trying to get the game, since theres always problems at launch with that stuff. Hoping they let me pre-install like other games have done. regardless tho, cant Effing wait.

I didn't play the first one, but the game looks interesting. The problem is I have guild wars 2 that I'm playing now, re-release of Baldurs Gate coming out next week, Natural Selection 2 coming up and Torchlight 2, and that's just September releases that look interesting...

How is this thread not just completely exploding from excitement?!
Can't wait til Tuesday! The fiance is going out of town til Wednesday evening and then works thurs, fri, and sat evenings - all Borderlands all the time with no bitching! :p
As a side note, I had to purchase on xbox cause a RL friend had already planned to get it on there - any other BL2 xbox guys or is mostly everyone on PC?

Of Course PC only, what a stupid question. I don't think there are many Console-Casuals here.
Btw you can Pre-Load the Game now.
