*Official Borderlands Thread* - Mad Max + 5 Billion Weapons

ok so im retarded
i have no idea what to do
that little robot is standing in front of a house and i cant seem to get into it, although i dont know if i have to or not… but i cant go anywhere else, this is like 6 mins into the game

Goddamn, this game’s sold out everywhere :shake:

crouch

I dunno what it is on default settings but I have it on L3.

6 minutes?

You better ace Bonehead by yourself, mang - or else I’m going to be forced to rank you on LBC’s level. :rofl:

What, are you drunk? 6 minutes in, the game is still holding your hand telling you how to do stuff.

Re-started my game since I got my new TV and I can actually see the font and icons now. :lol:
Level 5 Soldier.

Getting use to FPS is a lot easier this time around since I know where all the beginning enemies are. I know that won’t be the case later. But it helps the transition a lot since the last FPS I played and got decent at was Turok 2. :lol:

I’m really liking this game. It’s like WoW but good. And with Guns. And not gay stone shooting flintstone guns like WoW has. Real guns. Demolition Man/Judge Dredd guns.

Fuck yeah.

Got it today already lvl 30, power leveling like a motherfucker.

got it today for PC (i hate FPS on anything but PC), played just under 2 hours and its pretty damn fun so far. My only main gripe is while im shopping, i still get shot, wtf lol

Beat it today. Very dissapointing ending/last boss, I mean, I wasn’t expecting much, but that was just stupid. In retrospect, most of the bosses were pretty bad.
Played playthrough 2 up to nine toes…can safely say its exactly the same thing but with slightly bigger numbers (and new names for enemies). I was really hoping they’d just start throwing awesome guns at me…no. Still waiting for that awesome world breaker. Even the final bosses loot was disappointing, 3 green/blue pistols? Oh gee, thanks. If only my pistol skill was higher than 2. I only came across 2 Eridian weapons…the canon that’s dropped by that royal guard guy and the 101 lightning thing. They’re ok, I guess. Battle rifles are still my main. And for some reason I regenerate ammo. That came to me as a bit of surprise when i noticed it.
Man, I’d kill for a decent healing shield. Like hundreds and hundreds of people.

Only 2? I got like, 5 different Eridians. :coffee:

Yeah the ending is pretty bad. I would be more upset if I wasn’t expecting it/don’t give a shit about the story.

As far as the loot, the really good shit doesn’t start coming till like lvl 48-50. Then you start finding some crazy shit like snipers that shoot 7 shots at a time and revolvers that shoot all 4 elemental types (each bullet shots a different type). And yeah those alien weapons suck ass. They do a shit ton of damage but can only fire a few shots before having to recharge and they take forever to recharge.

Also once you hit 50 the enemies get upped and renamed again. My favorite is the “Insane Midget Shotgunner” being renamed to “Apeshit Stunted Shotgunner” :rofl:. What’s really cool is all the elite monsters (Badass/Bad Mutha’s) become level 51 and are renamed SuperBads. All the bosses become level 51 too.

What I really want to know is if legendary class mods/boss weapons are extremely rare, or just don’t exist.

Game is like crack. I started playing at 10 last night and didnt stop till now (2am). Thats the longest I have sat and played a game in a while. I got my hunter to level 19 and got some dope ass shit. The coolest thing I got is called the 650 Hunter Mod. I think thats what its called. Pretty dope, it enhances all my bird stuff. I mean, some of the other stuff is a lot doper but I cant use it yet. All of it is level 22+ stuff.

I got to fight some boss but it wasnt that hard. That arena where I had to fight all the skags was a lot tougher. I tried to do that by myself the other day but I died on the second stage. So I just got a friend and did 2 and 3 with him. It was still pretty damn tough.

There’s actually 6 Chests, but only 2 really worth opening (the red ones.) I’ve been doing Chest/Skagzilla runs. Farm the chests, sell the junk, kill Skagzilla for xp, save and restart. Each run is about 3minutes.

And question: is the eridian weapons on the same color scheme? I got a Green Eridian Sniper Rifle which does good damage, but I can only shoot 3 times before the battery has to recharge, which sucks. I had a Legendary Sniper which was a few levels lower, but had a clip size of like 15, and was lightningx3 and proc’d EVERY SINGLE SHOT. I was dumb and gave it to a friend, but im sure I can get better eventually (im only level 30, so the damage was low around 221.)

I think its not really worth farming until you hit New Haven on the second playthrough, and im still on the first. Apparently Second Playthrough newHaven farm = Legendary city.

=================
Comments on Hunter (Mordecai):

He’s the only one i’ve played. Snipers are totally useless. Early on, they do nice damage and occasionally convienent on missions when you can nail people from a distance… However, for the most part not helpful. You are better off focusing on the bird skills, because Bloodwing kicks MAJOR ass once you have his skills maxed out. After that, going with Pistols seems correct. From what I have read, most end game revolvers are >>>> snipers, and with a scope are just as effective longrange. Also, the skill tree for Pistols is insane, with the +crit damgae, the double bullet, and the lowering of your bloodwing cooldown. Maxing those 2 trees is deff the way to go.

(If they revisit snipers and change them to have… I dunno… like 1800 damage base at end game, maybe they’d be useful. But for now, they just arent, and that seem so to be the consensus on the Mordecai main forums.)

I have yet to see an Eridian weapon that’s not green.

Weird thing about Eridian guns, if you partially drain the battery and switch to another weapon, they won’t recharge until you switch back to them. If you completely drain the battery and then switch, they’ll recharge while you’re using the other weapon. :looney:

It’s almost as though they want you to try using 4 Eridian guns and just switch weapons when they’re drained out.

Going Medic Route with Roland first since I am still adjusting and so I’ll have the extra HP because I suck. :lol: Once I max out his HP buff in his medic tree though I will go to his infantry tree.

Once you level your Eiridian skill, they charge up pretty fast.

I’ve read elsewhere that other people had this problem too - apparently it’s a glitch in the game that doesn’t allow you to advance. Exit and restarting seems to fix it.

thanks

FUCK YOU JADHADOUKEN, YOU *** :wasted:

There’s 3 worth opening. And yes, on the second play through, it’s legendary city.

As far as Hunter goes, fuck Bloodwing, yeah, I said it. My Hunter is level 32 right now and he is absoutely destroying everything and I haven’t put one point in Rouge. It’s been all Gunslinger.

You can get your fire rate with pistols on fucking retarded levels. Right now I have a purple repeater pistol with 15 fire rate and I pull the trigger twice and everything drops.

I fear how much he is going to own once I reach 50 and get some of those overpowered revolvers.

Yeah that’s what I figured, but I still don’t like them enough to level them.

WTF? why cant i play? did they delay the game for jap people or someshit!? This is BS, we play the goddamn same game (no japanese in it) so wtf is up wit this shit!
