It's true though, not that the soldier necessarily sucks, but at least the hunter (Mordecai) becomes a cake-walk if you spec him right. With gunslinger/hunter spec your Bloodwing does thousands of damage to multiple enemies, healing you for that damage, and everytime you kill someone not only do you start shooting faster but your shots have a chance to instantly kill the next enemy and every enemy you kill heals you and recharges your bloodwing faster (which you can then send out again to heal you some more). As a sniper you completely ignore shields, and can one shot every single enemy in the game that is crit'able... if you can't crit them then it takes two or three shots at most. All the while your bloodwing is blowing up everything, healing, and killing shit to.
There's just too many ways to heal yourself as Hunter for it to really be difficult. The hardest enemies are single lone big bosses that are hard to crit - but there aren't much of them. Even then a couple of lucky sniper/masher crits takes bosses down in a jiffy.
Hawkian said:What's so bad about the turret? When I eventually went for a soldier I was going to spec that thing out
Don't get me wrong, the Turret is awesome for multiplayer. When it's specced all the way on the support tree (and the medic tree) it can Heal/Resupply Ammo/revive people/shoot rockets.
There's a reason why it takes a while to reload - it's too awesome.
When playing alone, not so much. And that's what's my soldier is for: playing alone.... so... turret is not as useful for me than, let's say, fire rate/clip size/recoil reduction. I was speccing my turret up and noticed i wasn't using it as much as it was becoming available. So i changed and now i'm having much more fun (playing alone).
In a team, the support tree is awesome.

A quick achievement question.... do i have a glitch?
I have sold 100's of guns and the achievement for selling 50 has never unlocked... what gives?
Also, i've been using a shock weapon for hours and not unlocked the achievement for killing enemies with that type of gun.
Is there something i'm missing with these achievements?

It seems many of the achievements are glitched... I have $9,999,999 and the $1mil never unlocked, my corrosive, fire, shock weapon achievements among others are glitched as well -____________-

I have never been so addicted to playing a game that had so many glaring flaws.
- the broken Join/Invite friends in the PC version
- the lack of video and game settings (having to change the .ini file to turn off the crap in game voice chat)
- janky/floaty physics (though batting around the car with a teammate still in it is gold)
- questionable AI (sniping from far enough away and the target just takes it)
- low variety of enemy types
And yet the co-op (once you get it working) and the crazy gun loot system keeps me coming back for more. Someone said on a recent podcast that BL feels more like a tech demo than a complete game and I'm inclined to agree. I really hope that for the sequel, Gearbox fixes all of the above, keeps the core gameplay/loot system and drops Gamespy like the festering turd that it is. CRITICAL BYOTCH!!!

The only way to make sure that you get the elemental achievements is to play alone. The gold achievement will definitely be unlocked if you're the host.MomoPufflet said:
I just got the corrosive one with my second character playing alone. The other 3 elemental achievements managed to unlock during multiplayer, but for my friend all of them glitched. He got them all later when he played alone with another character though.

So I'm a level 27 Hunter and LOVE this game but is there going to be patch for the PS3 version? It play fine and really have no issues but the list of stuff that can be fixed would be awesome if fixed. And how do I get into the basement in New Haven?

Yeah I'm getting pretty frustrated there isn't a PC patch yet. I've held off leveling up my solider past 46 hoping it would be out soon. If I don't see serious effort to fix the issues, many of which should have never made it into the final build, when the patch is finally released then I won't continue to support this game/developer by purchasing any DLC.

Man...
If your doing ALL of the quests on your first playthrough ...man, this game is fucking long!
Think I'm getting fatigued =/

Speaking of buggy achievements, I don't think it's even possible to get the "run over 25 enemies" trophy on the PS3, I've probably run over a few hundred enemies but I haven't unlocked it yet. I've also tried running a bunch over using the same car and doing it all in one session, but no luck so far.
This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me.

Wait, don't you have to save and reload your game first? And there are 4 chests in New Haven :OFirestorm said:

What shields are you other high level characters rocking? I've got one thats like 937 with a 122 recharge rate. Normal white name. I've owned 1 orange lvl shield, but they seem really rare. I want one with very fast health regen along with a decent capacity. I constantly warp around and check the med vending machines with the inventory changes, but never see anything worthwhile.
There are? I only got 3 of them >__>; There's the red box on the roof near Scooter, then the steel box on the roof close to where you find the container, then the steel box inside the shed... where else?LiquidMetal14 said:
Doesn't the game almost always save when you quit or do anything major? I've never really lost any progress.

the guy in this video takes too long getting the second one, you can just run to the right and jump right up, rather than jumping accross then jumping back like he did. Speed runs ftw
Also, no need to run back to the new U station like he does, or kill all the spawns over by the rust commons gate.

Meh. That gun isn't worth the inventory space.

All I want in a PC patch is a new menu with smaller buttons and more space for text, and more options in finding online games (pleeeeeeeease filter by ping and country). Why would it take this long to do those and stay virtually silent and make the community trust the developers solely by faith?

Here's to hoping for lots of good fixes!
Anyone able to find a changelog?
Same day as Left 4 Dead 2... huh. Well at least you guys are getting your much deserved patch.Traced-Velocity said:
Hit level 45 today with my Hunter and I am looking forward to the Island of Dr. Ned DLC.
Woo-Fu said:7, if you stop the main quest line at just the right spot.
The best stuff only comes out of the red chests , hit the 3 chests and check the 2 stores.
The chest in the basement always has a Rider in one slot but I found many different versions of it.
I found my lvl 46 devastator in a store.

patch for steam is kind of big? hope it is good stuff.
DMPrince said:
Well, you see. Steam Updates work quite differently than most games. For instance:
If there's a big file in the game installation (for instance, let's say that all audio is compressed in a single file), usual game patches will look at that file and change the specific parts of it (they will APPLY a patch to said file).
Steam does not support this kind of patching. Steam applies the updates on their hosted files. The steam client then compares local files to files hosted on the servers. If there's a difference, the client just redownload said file.
That's why Company of Heroes patches on steam are, pretty much, the whole game. Because company of heroes has most of it's parts (audio, video, maps) compressed into different, big files. When one thing in such a file changes, the retail version patch can simply patch whatever is different inside these files. The steam version has to completly redownload such file again.
I don't know if that's the case on Borderlands. But it's something to take into consideration.
