I got the game, I couldn't resist, damn you GAF. *shakes fist* :lol
Anyways, finished my first boss, went down twice, managed to get up...somehow; beat him and his two pets. Got some awesome loot, I'm level 7 (soldier). I was wondering how do I add you guys and if we can play later today around 5-6pm (EST).

I noticed an issue with missions where you have to find pieces of a weapon. If you go out of order, the mapped location of pieces don't show up for the ones you "skipped" on the list. Is there any way to solve this?

My enjoyment of this game is very hit or miss, at times I barely know why I continue to play and at other times I get so in to it that hours feels like minutes, and before you know it's way past bedtime.
Had a nice game with a gaffer yesterday, discovering some artifact in some ancient ruins. Can't remember his name though ><, but those are the times when the game is great.
Oh and whoever said this game is easy must have gamesharked the shit out of it, because at the moment I'm getting my ass kicked. Sure I can deal out the damage but I go down faster than a starving kid goes through a Snickers Bar. And the moth whatever its name just blasts the shit out of me D:.
Good times though!
Playing a LvL 25 Firefly Lilith (44% Ignite dmg, Diva +2, Sparks +2, Phoneix +2).
http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/skilltree/lilith/#21100000005055010300000
Very elemental based build, fun good dmg but not much for surviveability.
Got a firepistol that just spits out bullets, pretty much melts faces in nanoseconds
, but it eats ammo like a hungry dog goes through a garbage can as well .
Silent Resolve doesn't seem to do much, and Radiance puts outs some really low dmg numbers from my experience. Anyone elses take on this?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Can someone tell me what the red text bonuses on the guns mean ? eg I have two guns with them, one has something about "The Legend Lives on", and the other has something about "Lead".

That's what I thought too until I had a second encounter with this bug. First time, I was finding the four pieces of the rifle, I had to guess the final piece. It ended up being on the edge of cliff instead of near the top of a building. The waypoint for the top of the building was actually for a piece I already found. I don't think the general area would define nearly half the map. Frustrating, but not a big deal.Aaron said:

Is there any reason to keep training the

Old Haven 2nd Playthrough
Help me, PC-GAF!
Even with the settings dialed down to Low on everything and running it windowed at sub-standard resolution (running at 1360x768 on my 1680x1050 monitor), I still can't achieve an fps above 30, much less one above 15 when the shit hits the fan. Which part of this setup is holding me back the most?
Windows 7 64-bit
Pentium Dual-Core E5400 @ 2.70GHz
4 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4350
It's most noticeable while dragging the mouse around in menus. Even after disabling mouse smoothing in the .ini file, I still feel like I'm dragging that pointer across sandpaper.

Argh, you got your problem fixed.Mr. Snrub said:
Honestly, NO ONE ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET has my problem? I cannot use the friends list at all, in any capacity, because GameSpy disconnects me, with or without the Windows firewall, with or without a router in the path, with or without ports forwarded, every time, when I hover over the OK button. It even pops up for a second to tell me someone's already on my list or whatever before disconnecting me. My list is always empty even though I show up on other people's lists.
Basically I don't want to play the game at all because I can't play it in co-op, which is what I bought it for. Not to mention if someone DOES get it working, I'll be level 1 and they'll be like level 20, and I don't want to just let them power-level me.
Also I'm guessing if some magic got it working, GameSpy would have that stupid double-add thing like UT3. At least UT3 had a button to add friends back when they request you. Is this game where you click OK to confirm a friend request, and then you have to manually type in their name to add them as well?

The proficiency improves the recharge rate, so yea it's useful if you find a good Eridian weapon. Chances are you may not. I've seen a good dozen or so, but nothing all that spectacular. Though there was one was a rocket launcher type weapon that did some insane damage but far too slow projectiles.glaurung said:

Anyone still looking for a Steam copy of the game? One of my friends backed out of our 4-pack, so I have an extra code.

Oh I kind of felt Purples were to common for being just a step away from rarest, guess that's because there's actually 4 color codes of rarity after it that I didn't even know of (except orange ofc)
.Also noticed that the economy-system is a bit bonked yesterday, when I bought an upgraded version of my FireFly Classmod. The Only difference being that it had +2 in Phoenix +2 Diva (instead of +1 and 0), was purple and had 650 in it's name instead of 640. And yet the worse blue one sold for about 10k more than the purple (when sold back to the store), not that I complain

Don't give up hope, Blizzard! I haven't encountered that, though. Usually you don't have to both add each other to both show up on each other's friends' lists.
I will happily start my siren when you are able to join us online. :-[

Gooooood damn man.
Been playing this with a pair of my friends and everytime we get sucked into a timewarp, completely unaware of what time it is in the real world cause all the quest stuff just keeps you driving forward.
We're all level 28-29 now and we just killed Krom, so I'm guessing we'll probably be mid to high 30's by the time we finish our first playthrough (no clue how far into the game we are right now, wouldn't mind if someone let me know. I believe our progress is listed at 60 something percent. We're doing every single side quest before we do the story quests so our first playthrough should be a 100%
CHRIST IS THIS FUN!

So this game is pretty awesome, eh? Seems universally lauded here, which is a great sign. I was considering waiting to pick it up at Christmas time but I may just need to take a little money out of my emergency cash fund.

I love how the loot-whorey-ness of the game is starting to create evil amongst my friends and I.Raide said:This.
Despite the game having a few annoying little issues, the time-sink ability is a hallmark of a great Loot-whore game.
We'll be in the middle of a big firefight and taking flanking positions and all of a sudden I'll see the text "XXXX opens a chest" "XXXX picks up some purple" "XXXX picks up some blue" and immediately I'm like "What the hell were those things? Any good?"
My friend got this absolutely SICK revolver, like 400+ base damage with a scope and increased reload time (my rocket launcher does 550 or so to give you an idea of how that compares to our other weaponry), and he wasn't even going to mention it until I asked him what the hell he picked up :lol
Evil...
We all have an understanding that certain members specialize in certain things: hunter gets dibs on snipes and revolvers, solder gets dibs on combat rifles and revolvers, I get dibs on shotties, rockets and SMGs...but there are those odd times when something drops and everyone has an interest in it and we're getting less and less willing to just let our preciouses fall into the hands of our friends.
Heaven forbid an amazing orange revolver drops. Chaos would ensue.

Is it easy to find groups? I enjoy loot whore games but was disappointed with lack of emphasis on grouping in Too Human, and was hoping that grouping is easy and fun.
