Glad to see this thread still on the first page. Me & my bro have been playing splitscreen PS3 since last wednesday and we've had a blast. There are some stupid, mic-less people online, but I found a few good groups too. Seventy5 if anyone is around 42ish. We're on the 2nd playthrough, and holy crap it's way more intense and tactical. I didn't think anything was going to pull me off of Demon's Souls, but I'm loving this game.
Yeah no.TheFallen said:
Shock weapons do better, but it still takes 12. COUNT EM, TWELVE (On guardians, 6 for the flying ones) critical sniper headshots to down the shields. Another 2 or 3 to kill them. Absurd. This is with an x4 shock sniper too.
My x4 fire sniper that does 1.8x the base damage, but does 10-20% less per shot than the shock against their shields.
Keep in mind this is the 2nd play through, the first time I was one shotting everything with my fire sniper.
I was also with 4 people, just brutal. The sniper was 3 shotting them with his pistol.

It fires 2 rounds each shot, so 20 damage.

I got myself a sniper that does explosion damage <3
Got another fetch quest. this time it's Combat rifle. I don't want to do anymore weapon quest :lol.
Is there a way to quit a quest? i'm sure I saw it somewhere.

Finished it this evening as a Level 34 Plaguebearer Siren. Did every single side quest so I guess it's on to playthrough 2. Still need to restart some new characters to get some achievements that didn't pop for me even though I never went online with my first character. Also need to finally hop on some coop once some buddies pick up the game.

This game has exceeded expectations for me. I did not follow it at all during the dev process and really took a chance on it; glad I did. What a steal for $40.
That's two Gearbox games now this gen that I've really enjoyed. Loved BIA: Hells Highway.

LAN just doesn't work - none of us can connect to each other except two of us when I host the game. Going through Gamespy in an online game is unreliable and barely anyone can even get to the lobby, which is ridiculous anyway because we're in the same house.
There HAS to be something wrong with the netcode. Ports and port forwarding shouldn't matter in LAN.
Yeah, it's kind of broken right now. Even those that have successfully down port-forwarding are having problems.
People are having the most success now by using GameRanger (which bypasses the GameSpy stuff), and usually don't need their ports opened at all. It will probably get LAN play working for you as well, as it has solved situations like that for others (including scenarios of multiple LAN players playing with internet players).
You can read more about GameRanger + Borderlands on the Gearbox forums in this thread. Gearbox now recommends it as an unofficial solution.

After finishing the 2nd playthrough about all I've done is promontory runs. Everything is a 1-shot kill with sniper rifle or shotgun and 4k-25k exp each. You only need headshots on the buffed ones. Anywhere on the body is ok for the regular fliers and melee units. Makes for good exp, good weapon expertise gain, and plenty of chests to loot. I don't need the exp now that i've capped level and weapon expertise, but I drag along somebody much lower level now and then to get them 5-6 levels quickly and a bunch of weapon expertise.Hazaro said:
I'd suggest trying a Malawan Volcano if you haven't, the fire proc ignores shields.
Oh, and once I opened up the ports required I had no problem whatsoever hosting games.

If you have 4 people in it it doesn't really matter what gun you use, everything is going to take a lot more to kill. The volcano I use has 200-250 less base damage than the highest damage sniper rifle I've found but the incendiary proc makes up for that against anything not fire-resistant.
The final boss on 2nd playthrough with a full team is just horrible. I was doing 20k per shot on it and the health bar wasn't even moving. That encounter is so unrewarding in multiple different ways.
Well I just hopped back on single player and it's near exactly the same as the firs time I went through (My shock now one hits air yay!) but now there are level 51's :lolWoo-Fu said:
I found the last boss to be fine, out team took it down pretty quickly.
Was brutal with 4 people, the shields are buffed so much.
*Finished going through it again solo. Amazing how much easier it was.

Is anyone up for doing some co-op? I am pretty low(around lvl 10) but the game is a little bit boring in single player, at least for me.

Well then go fix your shit when I try and install it it says Adobe Flash Player must be installed. It is installed.
Picked up the steam version yesterday and I really enjoyed it (after patching out some of the really poor PC design decisions) - the Netcode is horifically buggy, but one you actually get a game going its thoroughly enjoyable - hopefully there will be a PC patch eventually as I'm really enjoying the game despite its problems, and it would be a shame to leave it in the state its currently in

Sorry about that, that's the Adobe website trying to be clever and auto-detect what you need.
You need the Active-X Flash control here.
Update: That direct link wasn't in the app because it looked like a fragile link that Adobe would change, which would have been bad to hardcode into it. I've updated the app to go via a redirect on the GameRanger website, so this will no longer be an issue.
I've bought this gem out of a vending machine. Wish I'd found it on the ground, oh well.
Bought it for $830000 or something. Damage is 98*11 and it shoots in a cross pattern with the intersection of the cross being at the exact position of the center if you aim right, the enemy takes a lot of projectiles with just one shell. It has an awesome accuracy and a zoom that makes my sniper rifle cry. It's not in the 4-line description but it also has a bonus on the number of projectiles (I guess, because SBS Munitions have larger clips but I never saw a shotgun with that much projectiles)
Do I love it? YES, I do
Reload is a tad slow, but with 16 shells there are generally no enemies left around when I reload.

Hey... I after I recieved some update today. I noticed that the phasewalk for siren is a little different now. Before, if lilith was to phase walk and then Melee, the phasewalk would end instantaneously. Now, after a melee during a phasewalk, there is a slight delay before the phasewalk ends. I don't know if it makes a big deal in terms of damage, but i know it's damned annoying.

I'm not sure on specifics as I haven't played as Lilith, but I think I read somewhere that originally Lilith's phasewalk only did a quarter of the intended damage. Now its 'normal'.gundamzeta209 said:

A lot of it comes down to the level of the weapon and whether the bonuses really translate into something useful. Masher Revolvers, even mediocre ones, are often better than blue and epic single shot revolvers, for example.
crap, I think my game is bugged, I'm at lvl 27 on 360.
I was joining a friend who was about 1 step ahead of me on the main story line (Find Tanaris-->I think I was at "Clearing the path"?), we did the boss fight (my marker said I was not eligable).
When I log back in, I do not seem to have the main storyline quest

So uhh... I got some friends to buy the game on PC and we simply cannot connect to each other when any of us host private matches. A quick google search leads me to believe that this is an extremely widespread problem. Are there any tried and true workarounds for this yet?

I've got the Level 48 or so version of this (I think the damage is around 147*11 with x3 Explosion), and even with my Siren who only has a Shotgun proficiency of 10 or so, I completely decimate stuff if it gets near me.

I tried opening some ports, but it didn't work at all. Everything worked fine when we hosted public games, but that is hardly a solution. I swear this has to be the worst interface in a PC game of this type ever. Everything about it is just quite awful. Fun game, though!
Instead of starting an actual game and inviting a player, try to create a private lobby and inviting your friends. I've had success that way (with the open ports). Inviting people to a game you're already playing never works for me.Zefah said:
Also, make sure you properly routed all 4 necessary ports. Don't forget to kill Windows Firewall, the most useless firewall ever created.
There's also the issue of the router. Some routers have a hardcap on port 9999 and you can't manually port forward ports higher than that. For these routers, you need UPnP support. In that case, this post will help you: http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showpost.php?p=1616479&postcount=278
Also, make sure your IP is static.
Edit: there's also reports of port 28902 being necessary, even tho it's nowhere in the readme. Some other player reported that adding port 29900 fixed everything for him. In here, it works with the regular 4 ports mentioned in the readme only.

anyone on the 360 happen to have a really good Sniper rifle for a level 25? I've been using the same rifle since level 8, and haven't found an upgrade since -_-
So, while playing with my soldier, I found a class mod that I won't ever use (+2 defense, +1 team shield regeneration). I wasn't going to sell it just yet (maybe drop to a friend online or change my skill points around), but then I saw this for sale:
I'm only level 17, but it's the first "good" item i found. I sold my class mod whateverness and bought that instead. Now with a skill respec, i'm finally having some fun playing as soldier.
