[MisterNoisy]

You EU timezone Mister Noisy? Wanna do some co-op if you are?

I've just got my Roland to level 22 and you seem to have far better  than me! I'm not having ammo problems any more though, my aiming's got a lot better very quickly 

I'm in US Central time, so it might be something of a challenge on anything but weekends, but I'm always game for some co-op.   

[Amaron]

So this is my first time pre-ordering on Steam.   They don't unlock at midnight?

Depends on the game.  I remember the Orange Box unlocking around midnight.

[Morfiend]

Says it unlocks in 19 hours from now.

[Amaron]

Yea that's what I'm confused about.  I mean I understand them holding back for street date but I could buy it from EBgames in the morning easy.

Afternoon/Evening release is incredibly typical for a Steam release, I don't really know the reasons, but maybe I'm so used to it I don't really even think about it anymore.

[WayAbvPar]

I keep checking hoping that they relented and it is released. No love. Good thing I 'work' from home Mondays and Tuesdays. How are we organizing coop games?

[Surlyboi]

However we organize, count me in.

[Hoax]

I guess set up vent and matchmake through vent?  Dunno.  Or have games running and post info in thread?  Depends on how it works I guess.

I will be playing with Phildo, Christo, and a 4th man in one game.

I am up for running 2 campaigns at once though. You'll just have to split your time. I do not apologize for my multitasking.

In one game I will be Mordecai. I will want pistols.

In another game I will be Mordecai. I will want pistols.

I like keeping it simple.

[Fabricated]

Provided it's at the right time, I'll be whoever the turret guy is.

[lesion]

I'll be playing a hundred-player campaign with myself, a pile of vendored pistols and ten gallons of vegetable oil. Who's in?

[schild]

Provided it's at the right time, I'll be whoever the turret guy is.

What's the right time?

[Segoris]

I'm in for some games anytime after 5pm central time, steam ID is Segoris as well. Prefer Mordecai sniper spec or Roland healer spec first, but have no problem playing other chars.

[Falwell]

I start my annual Halloween vacation week in about 7 hours. It's fucking on. Feel free to jump into Grubs games if you see us running em. I've got around 30 guys prepped for launch tomorrow so we'll have a ton of instances going. You gentlemen all have standing invites of course.

[fuser]

I'm up for a game with Roland for support / assault rifles

[waffel]

Do I go buy the game at 10am when the mall opens for 49 bucks... or do I buy it on steam for 45 bucks and wait till it unlocks at like 3pm?

hmmm...

[Hoax]

I'm going to play a bunch of characters, trying to keep them in different areas and at different levels as much as possible to give me maximum flexibility to play with others.  From the videos I've watched playing solo is fucking boring, slow and stupid compared to the helldeathfire goodness that is 4-player.  I figured I'd check w/ some RL friends who I don't get to game with often and then from there treat it like LoL and hop on vent and see if anyone has a character in the right level range.

I'd enjoy an arranged group of four but never in the history of Diablo1-2 + Titan Quest did I see that work out, not because I'm unwilling to not level past a certain point but because other people are whores.

If there is going to be an arranged group, preferably involving f13'ers I know from RL/EVE/LoL who I get to play with because we have similar time schedules I'd fucking love that but I wasn't expecting it.

Character choices, in order of preference:

Brick ->  Going rocket heavy, fuck his ability in its face but will be taking a side of his non screaming and punching tank abilities.  I think this is going to be the most fun, I love rockets and I like not looking like everyone else.  I may have two going because I think not many people are going to play him and I bet he fits my playstyle well.

Roland ->  I'd like to do a in the middle of the shit, Shotgun + tanky build if that works, with some boosts to the turret's support values.  Also playing healer might be fun.  I think there are several cool ways to play/build him.

Lilith ->  Short Ranged in and out build, probably shotguns and SMG's, mostly as a variety character but for sure I'll have 1 Lilith, might wait until I know the game well because I think this will be the least "strong" of the builds that look really fun.

[WayAbvPar]

I will be ready to go in 'approximately 13 hours'. It is just mocking me now.

[AutomaticZen]

When it goes free, I may be down for a game.

Sniper spec as well.

[apocrypha]

I'm in US Central time, so it might be something of a challenge on anything but weekends, but I'm always game for some co-op.   

Yeah 6 hours difference makes it tricky, I'll just get into the habit of logging into PSN every time I play and keep an eye out for ya :)

[Fabricated]

Provided it's at the right time, I'll be whoever the turret guy is.

What's the right time?

I dunno on timezone difference but basically between ~7pm-midnight on eastern standard time is cool with me. Depending on the weekday I might not go past midnight since I get up at 6am for work.

[apocrypha]

Alright, I just got killed several times by  and when I finally killed him back he dropped a I kid you not 

[Ironwood]

Heh.

Isn't that shit trademarked ?

 

[Draegan]

I won't be home until 10pm tonight.  Meh.

[amiable]

Hey I just got this and I am waiting for my steam unlock.  Is there a guide somewhere with a basic rundown fo the characters and such?  Assume all I know about this game is "Diablo in the desert with guns."

[Hoax]

The official site has info and the talent trees which will give you some idea.

I'll be online ~4 hours after it unlocks...

Afternoon/Evening release is incredibly typical for a Steam release, I don't really know the reasons,

Nobody likes doing work outside business hours.

[rattran]

Business hours start at noon PDT for Valve? must be nice.

[Falwell]

You've all had that Borderland's Steam store page open for the past two days haven't you? HAVEN'T YOU?!??!? ADMIT YOUR SINS AND BE FREE OF THE LIES AND DECEIT!

I have too.

[sigil]

Or you could be like me and  decide to get off the fence this morning, start the download  and be done just in time for the servers to go live :D
I can play evenings after 9 central or mornings 10-1. well at least until I start back  to work, which is supposed to be real soon now 

[Yegolev]

Business hours start at noon PDT for Valve? must be nice.

No one likes doing work first thing in the morning, either.

[Yegolev]

I have not, due to my ability to fathom arithmetic.
