Which is why you get someone trustworthy to do the deal. You don't give your money to random Junior Member #237. I don't think I saw any deals go bad on this board and there have been a lot of them between Left 4 Dead 2 and Borderlands this month. You don't have to if you don't want to. I set up 4-pack with my friends for both L4D2 and Borderlands, helped a friend get into a four pack here, and might be grabbing a GAFfer to do a 4-pack with my friends.practice02 said:

What? Message board? This is GAF.practice02 said:
This is a lifestyle.
Also note that plenty of people (myself included- I bought the pack) have done fine doing 4-packs on here.
If you're worried, buy the 4-pack yourself and request payment before giving out keys. No brainer. Also, using the b/s/t thread for feedback is very useful, too.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea It's just not for me, and was trying to bring up a point that that people may not have thought of I'm sure all of you are trust worthy people except for that Don'ttrustymeIstealbabies1986 guy. I got burnt on a cheap ass gamer deal with someone.Firestorm said:
I agree, except he's a Junior himself. I probably wouldn't send money to a junior without several b/s/t feedback myself.Sebulon3k said:If you don't wanna get scammed, organize the 4 pack yourself and have people paypal you before purchase. Almost 0 risk to you at that point considering your handling all the money.
Mine went just as planned and we were 50% junior members

Hope you guys don't plan on playing this with anyone but friends-- the gun loot is free-for-all, and with melee roles and long-range roles, well-- :lol

No.
FYI, I gotta say it really sucks living in Washington state cause we have to pay taxes on steam. Brought my copy to about $48 cause I was a nice guy and paid for the sales tax by myself (didn't realize it until after everyone pay pal'ed me the money)
I can't wait until this is out!! GAF games will be epic for sure.
*Edit* practice02: I'm pretty sure most people on GAF won't fuck people over. I did L4D2 4-pack with people from GAF and it went smooth as butter. I did my Borderlands with people on another forum (they were abusing the fact that I was from America and therefore they could get their copies earlier than the EU release date :lol )

It has a magazine size of 12 shotgun rounds.
This gun shoots a super slow shotgun slug, so it's like shooting a rocket. It's a quest reward I think.
But this just goes to show you how varied the weapon in this game are; you can get a shotgun that acts like a rocket launcher!

Oh look who's back. You've been banned before for shitting up Borderlands threads. I bet it really chaps your hide the game is getting favorable reviews now.
This is a concern that dates back to games like Diablo. If you're going to play with random internet fuckwads, you should know the risks up front. Folks will be just fine so long as they understand this very difficult to grasp concept.
If you play with likeminded individuals, everything will be just fine. Something that will drop that is great, you'll discuss who its the bigger upgrade for and pass it off knowing that the next time that occurs it might be a bigger upgrade for you. In the end, its not going to matter much, you people see how often folks were upgrading weapons on the streams? Very often. It won't be something to get too concerned about.

It's open, but not that open. Certain missions open up further areas... and you can't just hoof it anywhere you want anyways because the mobs will be much higher level and will snipe the shit out of you quickly.
In co-op, you'll need to be in the same area as everyone else. Areas are pretty big... but no, you can't be on a completely different side of the world as everyone else.

To me, the loot-stealing is part of the draw. If everybody gets nice, doled out even drops, you know what I call that?
Communism.

I just finished up my Left 4 dead 2 deal.Crunched said:
Look if you have people paypal you the money before buying the pack, there is pretty much no risk. I pulled the trigger when at least 2 people paypaled me. If the third guy flakes I'm pretty sure I could find another. Especially when the deal goes away and their choice is $49.99 or $33.75 with me.
If you are paranoid, find someone that has bought/sold something on the buy/sell thread and get the other party to vouch for them.

Definitely, we're all friends here.
I will steal your loot you mean nothing to me
The loot system first-come-first-serve is a little douchebaggism prone, but if the team isn't able to auto-regulate the loot sharing I guess the members that feel that are getting the shorter straw will just leave the game. That should be incentive enough for everyone to play nice, no?

Do weapons disappear if you leave them on the ground too long?
