    i.e. you want to do the sub missions in 2.5 to get the maxed out level rewards since sub missions do not reset in 2.5 only story missions do

    Feel free to do all the sub missions as they stand on your 1st play through

    P.S. Your back up plan is to play DLC using a max out level character(s) which is gonna have far more cooler shit obviously ^__^

    Submission? You mean the sidequests?

    Don't over react. If you add a space (sub mission not submissions) it makes sense.

    Basically he is saying side quests can not be done in multiple playthroughs once completed so if you save them for new game+ then you might get slightly better drops.

    Personally I would just play the game and then decided once done if it is worth new game+ to level the character. I think I would rather start over as a different class.

    Okay I get it now.

    sub missions (aka side quests). Not to be confused with submission.

    Alternatively, just do them anyway, most of the side-missions just give a level-appropriate green. If you're in PL2.5 you'll be swimming in level 50 green guns.

    I didn't think to do that until the post above yours explained it; I don't think anyone's overreacting.

    @alternate: I wasn't. I knew what he meant by "submission", I just could not follow how he structured his thoughts.

    He's saying not to do missions in your second playthrough until you start playthrough 2.5. All the side missions that you didn't start in playthrough 2 will be upgraded to level 50 (as well as the rewards) once you start playthrough 2.5. I'm not making much sense so here's what I just said only understandable.

    Oh sub-mission. The lack of plural led me to believe you meant submission

    I highly recommend folks check out that link. There's a list of every quest (at least it looks like every quest) that gives a blue-or-better reward for completion. Those are the quests you'll definitely want to save for your 2.5 playthrough.

    +1 on the link. Very informative. Nearing the end of playthrough 1 right now and I planned to charge through again like normal, but now I'll hold off on the side quests.
