Counter point:  I love this game, and can't stop playing it 

That's funny, I can't start playing it.

I'm with this. I think I suck at the game with Lilith and am still having a good time. MP was a fun tonight once it was working

[rattran]

I've had little luck with multiplayer, the game I got into with Hoax was the only one I've been able to, every other attempt had timed out.

Which sucks.

I played single player up to level 20 on a soldier and I have to say I'm having a great time.  Has anyone played Brick?  Is he any good?  Melee seems pretty gimped in this game.

I have brick at level 16.  Melee isn't very useful most of the time, but Berserk is AWESOME.  I'm hoping to find a grenade launcher  at some point and go the blaster route.  Right now my points are in the Tank tree and I'm pretty survivable.

My main character is Brick. I never even bother to use the regular melee attack, but when I hit the active skill it pretty much makes me unstoppable. I've used it to power my way through a lot of bosses and such that I wouldn't have been able to beat otherwise.

[Draegan]

I need more levels for more points to test out my end build.   Fuck can't wait to try different things.

Farming Guns in New Haven

Nice, didn't see that one outside of town last night. That, and it was almost all white con crap with low value

[MrHat]

I play Brick.

I got a rocket launcher.

I kill everything now.

[Special J]

Wish there was a demo for this.  I hate getting stuff for PC without trying it out.  Not to see if I like it but to find out whether it runs like ass or not on my machine.

I could go 360 I guess but it looks like the PC one is a way more popular choice.

After getting shafted to 30th October release date, I used the anonymitynetwork.com program to unlock and play it - got to about level 14 Lilith til I had to leave, so I shut down (the game was awesome, by the way) -- the anonymitynetwork trial ended though, and borderlands is locked again - how can I unlock it again?

Pay for the VPN Service, move to the US, pirate it, or wait.  Don't be so silly.

[MrHat]

Are the class mods broken?

I have one that gives a bunch of + to skills and it doesn't show up in the skill tree as any + :(

[Draegan]

I don't think they show up on your tree.

[schild]

This game is really terrible about showing you modified statistics when they're effected by other stuff. It desperately needs to be patched in.

[Sky]

Affected. 

[AcidCat]

Yeah the class mod skills enhancements do not show up in your skill tree.

And apparently you have to have at least one point in the skill itself for the mod to work.

[amiable]

Does anyone know if the mod will take you over the max level of a skill?

[Venkman]

Where's the character save file info? I'd like to play on two computers if that's possible.

Someone say that Phasewalking isn't working?

Phasewalking works fine.  The bug you're likely thinking about is with the final talent in the Assassin tree, Phase Strike, not granting its bonus melee damage.

Ok thanks.

[Morfiend]

I have a level 18 hunter, and its a little depressing that I have all my talent points in to pistols, and I still do way better damage with a Assault Rifle of about equal level. /sadface

[Aez]

Does anyone know if the mod will take you over the max level of a skill?

Not 100% sure but I remember reading that it can't.

[schild]

If they had been more clear about shit like that I'd have spread out my points early for versatility and hunted for certain mods. Mehhhhhhh.

High fire rate pistols with an elemental damage bonus and with their naturally low recoil and cheap, plentiful ammo are plenty effective.  I'm playing a soldier and I find myself using pistols as often as anything else I've found.  The small clips and three shot bursts on Assault rifles are actually pretty frustrating.

[MrHat]

That last skill in the blaster tree for Brick doesn't regenerate rockets at all :(

[AcidCat]

Word on the street is "yes"

Thats funny because I've read otherwise.

When MP works this is a lot of fun. It desperately needs a big patch to unfuck many parts of it though.

[Morfiend]

I agree 100%. Also, how is it possible for them to fuck up a UI this badly. Its almost like they tried to make it horrible.

[ezrast]

Argh, not getting this until Friday.

I lied. Downloading as I type. I am so fucked on my test tomorrow.

I don't know why it's so hard for you guys to wrap your brains around the fact that the UI was designed with the console in mind and they either didn;t have time or budget to port it properly to PC

[Sky]

Apparently there is also a bug where class mods only display the first four modifiers...because that's all the room there is in the text box. Maybe guns, too.

Great game, but how the fuck did it make it past QA?

[Prospero]

It's not hard to my head around it; they made a lot of noise about how they were going to have a UI designed for the PC and then failed to do so. I also think the UI is especially bad, even for a console port. Seems fair to be pissed and to want patch fix this shit.

Also please to be adding a real multiplayer matchmaking system. I haven't had to open ports in years.

Some combat rifles, the ones with the larger clips usually, are full-auto.  I tend to stick with this type as a back-up weapon.

Easily explained: the QA was too busy playing Borderlands to report things
