Also cross platform between console and PC would be cool

Oh, I just remembered another big problem.
I went to the Zombie DLC area, and apparently a popup occurred to enter the registration code, except it never popped up. It remained on the loading screen until I Alt+Tabbed out of it and tried to get back to the game, then I could see it. However, the game wouldn't minimize or go to the back, so I had no way of switching to steam to get my DLC key to register it. So I had to shut down the game, get the key, and then repeat this Alt+Tab process.
That is completely absurd.

Work with imgur.com or min.us to provide an auto uploading service / guns folder sorted by date and time for images captured by the 'gun print screen'.
Although this could also be easily implemented with steamworks and it's print screen function.
Just have the URL copied to clipboard would be cool even if it was a steam cloud link.
Example:
-Player finds cool gun, wants to message his steam friend with less hassle
-Player presses 'gun photo' key, image is uploaded to (Steam/imgur/min.us), direct URL is placed in clipboard
-Player presses ctrl+v in steam chat to friend

Howabout spend five fucking minutes on the PC port this time, guys?crimsonheadGCN said:
Borderlands was great--after tinkering with config files. That didn't fix the shit menu navigation or unuseable GameSpy functiinality, unfortunately.

This. The mouse always felt like a bag of dicks in Borderlands. I still enjoyed the shit out of the game though.
My only other idea would be Steamworks which they're already doing, so I'm happy enough. Maybe try and keep the low specs about the same as the first game, because I can happily run it on my laptop.

Oh yeah, this is a huge one. Getting the mouse speed to feel right always felt like such a struggle.subversus said:

Awesome, took the survey. (I took the one a while ago as well with the various class ideas. Liked that.)
Glad to see GameSpy going, although I surprisingly had few major issues with it this time compared to some other games. (It totally worked like 80% of the time! Great success!)
As noted, FOV was a big one, especially since it resets on you. I understand why someone might lock FOV for competitive multiplayer, but in a game that's either single-player or co-op? The duels aren't worth preventing the "advantage" of being able to see a proper FOV.
The .ini's had too much stuff that needed to be in the menus. The Borderlands Wiki PC Tweaks page is basically a list of stuff that should have been in the menu. (I understand some of the more "mod" type aspects like turning off the shaders, forcing mipmaps, etc. being left out but it would be cool to just toss things like that and show some PC love.) Game also reset the settings by overwriting my edited .ini's when I added two of the DLCs. (Can't say for sure since I got them in a set of three and then Claptrap. But it did it both times I launched with new DLC.)
Not really PC specific, but it'd be nice to be able to easily "clone" a save for a character. So you could go off on your own in single player and when your friends can return to the game you can pick up with the other one where it is. You can do this in Borderlands by copying the save file but I've had it overwrite both the character saves if they have the same name. (Launching one save and changing the name has always worked.)

It's like some relic from the mouseball era that won't go away. I love being able to move my mouse all over perfectly in Windows and start playing a game and I'm having to cross my entire desk to turn around.Aaron said:
ATTN GEARBOX: GOOD NETCODE THIS TIME.
Seriously, I was really looking forward to doing a 4 player co-op run and it was ruined by the shitty netcode in the game. If everyone but the host gets delay on bullets registering then you've got a problem. Actual unique items would be nice too since most guns were just slight stat changes of each other, there weren't really any rare items at all.

Its UE, You cant have it without proper DX 11 implementation.Durante said:
I really want trading options, persistent servers [even if not hosted by gearbox, give us options to make our own], few post process AA settings [MLAA, FXAA - low, med, high, ultra, SRAA], better physics and more particles and of course proper UI.

Drag-and-drop for inventory management. I'm thinking of weapons specifically.

Cross platform co-op play with PS3 using Steamworks please!
Improved UI.
Specifically the quest section. When trying to read the quest description, you can't use the scroll wheel. Instead, you have to use the PG Dwn or PG Up because using the scroll wheel cycles though the quests, not the description. Really? I mean, really!?!?
Also shopping UI needs a rehaul.

Most if not all of these have already been suggested, so just adding my vote to these:
Don't use Gamespy (thankfully, looks like this is already confirmed)
Don't use Games for Windows Live
Do Use Steamworks
Adjustable FOV
Lots of PC customisation options (graphics settings etc)
Make the menus and in-game UI PC-friendly, i.e. no using PageUp/PageDown to scroll text
Don't use crap quality videos like Human Revolution does
Mod support/editor
High res textures / high res texture pack available for download at a later date, see: Rage.

It would be a huge missed opportunity if this game does not take advantage of the Steam trading feature.

fix for fov above 145 degrees for triple monitor setups, screen turns upside down when you sprint!
proper 3D vision support, the latest UE3 engine is pretty much perfect in this regard so this shouldn't be hard
full hud options i.e enable which parts you want and full disable
basically all the options that the borderlands tweak program offered that aren't mentioned above i.e remove cel shading
no fucking mouse smoothing or acceleration

Borderlands had plenty of plot and many "characters" (Tannis' journals were great). It was smartly out of focus but there for the discerning eye. The last thing we need is a bunch of exposition, cut-scenes, & scripted garbage getting in the way of the shootin'/lootin' co-op gameplay.Duki said:

Make it a Steamworks game.
Generally as I understand it, if you lower the FOV less of the landscape has to be rendered. It's a way to get better performance out of consoles. This is a great summary: http://bonesnack.blogspot.com/2011/03/wider-point-of-view-part-two.htmlWired said:What's the reasoning behind such low FOV on consoles anyway? Maybe I'd figure it out if I thought about it some more, but easier to ask
