why do the enemies ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ run away while im in fight for my life?
Every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time. 90% of deaths are because the enemies ran away after I went down so I couldnt get second wind. Rage inducing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Calm down, letting a game put you in a rage is not good.

But, it can be a bit frustrating when they do that, I personally think it is to add a challenge. Only advice I have is, be more careful and try not to be dropped to FFYL.

Challenge does not equal "lol go ♥♥♥♥ yourself"

And if your telling me "just dont die" is a solution you are retarded. Everybody dies in videogames thats how they ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ work. Id just like to die legitmately instead of having every enemy run around a corner at lightning ♥♥♥♥♥♥ speed so that I cant get a second wind

There is dying a lot from playing poorly, then there is the dying from time to time. I die from time to time. Looks to me like you are the one with the problem, not me.

Oh, you like to insult, what are you, like twelve years old?

Oh my lookit them cuss words ! :P I'm guessing you already know the answer. There are some ways to avoid that ... FFYL isn't really a "break" - it's an opportunity to move like lightening the split-second before it starts + take aim with your fastest firing, most powerful dps gun + be ready to pull the trigger the split-second after FFYL starts. Get 'em before they can start running & you'll bounce right back up with another life - but don't stop there (lotsa ppl do & die again too fast) - keep sprinting toward daylight to wherever you can hide to heal for a second. This is genius advice - I know :P - but it's all I got. Oh - don't use RLs for FFYL - use something with faster reload - it's not easy to get in a second clip but we all try lol. Have more fun :steamhappy:

To answer your question: enemies run away from you when you're in FFYL because they too don't want to die... It's called AI. If they wouldn't have ran away, I'm willing to bet that the
vocal community would have slammed Gearbox for "OMG NEWB AI FIX PLZ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ASS TITTIES YOU SUCK DONKEY BALLS STUPID PIECE OF ASS ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥"

edit: iiiish... sry.

Cookiem0nster17: If this doesn't make for a challenge, what does?

What exactly is dying legitimately? The game gives you ample opportunity to not go into FFYL and have baddies fleeing from you, but you need to recognize these when they occur and adapt. Perhaps even avoid the majority of them.

This is actually the true essence of the game, once you get past all the colors, humour, and explosions. It tempts you with OP gear only too weaken the learning process as one of its costs.

What ever will happen when you encounter baddies who purposely get between you and their weakened brethren, almost altruistically? Will your rage-influenced vocabulary erode further?

What happens when you reach UVHM?

Well dude you can actually make this happen in BL2 if you want --- you can play a challenge version of the game called One Life --- it's like it says & it's a pretty popular option --- your toon must make it from the beginning up to the game's maximum level in a single life --- FFYL is disallowed [you die for real if you enter FFYL & it's Game Over in One Life].

Cookiem0nster17: If by "worst" you mean they don't take kindly to posts of rage or quitters.

Ask a decent question, get a decent, helpful answer. Can't seem to see why this is?

Ah. I see. You were looking for someone to see past your posted rage and commiserate.

Regarding the advice to put the game down for a few hours to forget it, trukr said pretty much the same thing in the very first response to your post.

You chose to take his advice with hostility. Was it because he wrote, "calm down"? Any idea why?

If you come here with a question that is causing you grief (and not to beg as some here choose to do) you'll get a different response. Not just on a game forum, either.

Even posting as you did, but without the rage and anger, would make your message that much easier to respond to. Humour and humility are always good tools to use.

condescension is certainly adding to the *wonderful* introduction ive had to your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ community. At least its not as bad as league. "git gud" is not advice, and neither is "♥♥♥♥ off".

Condescension is a response to rage. Understand that and you'll have learned a useful life lesson. What type of response were you anticipating in a forum with many members of all different ages? Where could you honestly expect to "walk" into a new community, full of anger and seemingly limited vocabulary, then respond with further hostility when met with competing snark, and actually expect a "welcome"? How does this make any sense?

I agree that "git gud" isn't good advice in many games, but if you really analyze where it's often coming from, it's true. I've been told it myself, but choose to see past the perceived slight, persisted, listened to suggestions, and did improve.

Who told you to f-off? Seems to me most of the rage is coming from your end, no?
