[Multiplatform] Borderlands - Shootan and Lootan

So all the reports from the people who got it early and people who are playing it today that managed to get high enough is that Phase Strike is... disappointing.

It turns out according to Gearbox that the skill is not working as intended and they are trying to figure out what the cause is.

How ya doing, buddy?

PS3 users seem to be reporting some random fucked up shit going on in their game. Like getting booted from co-op then having their save file corrupted.

It also seems that some other skills (and class mods that boost said skills) are just plain not working. Kind of a mixed report though as there are those who are reporting a skill and the skill's class mod not working, and those who have it working just fine.

Right now it seems Gearbox is working on trying to fix the PS3 bugs before the international version hits, as the PS3 has the most bugs out of all 3 versions.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, you can fiddle with the .ini to put in certain things that were not in the game (and should have been, shame on you Gearbox!).

Online is ass, unless you were kissed by the magical internet fairy, hosting is pretty much a coin toss. That said, I am able to host although it seems I have become the dedicated host for Taco and his motley crew.

So far I have only encountered one bug, and that was when I first started the game. Taco and his roommate joined in, and one of my quests bugged out as we picked it up, I had to go into Single Player to complete it but that was about the extent of the problem.

I love Fire damage. I have a x2 Sniper (with 98.7% accuracy) and a x3 SMG that are just delicious when coupled with Spark and Slayer. I am stalking Zed hoping his post-apocalyptic Japanese vending machine will dispense for me a Firefly class mod. I just need a backup weapon now :<

edit: And thus, Zed has blessed me with my class mod.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was disconnected mid-save while playing with a friend of Taco's (who was host) and my character and quests were still oK; then again I don't get most of the shit ya'll do =(

I had a blast with Mo0, Skills, and Jinn (when Jinn wasn't exploding every now and then). Fuck you skills for peer pressure.

Also while playing with Taco's friend we stumbled upon a diablo 2 ripoff Rakk in New Haven, and it dropped this lovely item for me:



I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Got to the end of the game at Level 35, then after turning in the quest for beating the game hit Level 36. Two million dollars or so, a ton of Eridian gear from plowing through the last area, and delicious orange items. Class mods that I can buy cost me like 5% of my funds :P

I was speaking idiomatically.

Almost level 50, so far second playthrough has been amazing. The only problem is that with a good Mercenary or Firefly mod Lilith just god modes through the whole damn thing

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've seen some Hunters on second playthrough with batshit insane Bloodwings. Buzzing about 100% chance to Daze on 9 targets, up to 9k damage each target, 1 second cooldown on the skill.

That thing is a one man army. Until it glitches and gets stuck.

FELIPE NO

I started up a Soldier this morning, got to New Haven. My turret hates me. I'm kind of wondering if I should pick up Stockpile, since I have a class mod later on that does the same thing only better and is always active. I kind of want to go pure support with him anyway though. If the turret didn't have such a giant cooldown it would be a bit easier on me since I wouldn't have to pick up the two skills to have a constant turret available at every battle.

edit: Oh yeah, 360 and PS3 (supposedly PS3, I know 360 got theirs already) got a patch to fix various things, one of which included the Siren's Phase Strike. It still apparently sucks balls when it really counts, but it's not as horrible as before. They fixed it by simply making her do an animation then exiting Phase Walk, as opposed to her exiting Phase Walk while meleeing. Seems it does maybe ~6k to equal level Badass/BadMotha/SuperBads, and ~22k to everything else.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I guess something you PC users might be interested in, I'm tempted to do it but I really hate font chosen, and there is only one other font that doesn't help any.

Here's a different fix that works somewhat better on the eyes.

Locate gd_globals.INT (resides in \WillowGame\Localization\INT\ of wherever your game will be installed, look in the Steam\steamapps\common\borderlands section for Steam users)
Open with Notepad
Replace

AttributePresentationTranslation="$NUMBER$ $CONSTRAINT$ $DESCRIPTION$"

with

AttributePresentationTranslation="<font size="10">$NUMBER$ $CONSTRAINT$ $DESCRIPTION$</font>"



There seems to be a hard-coded 5 mod limit for displaying though, as the zoom and critical damage increase are not showing, even if you open it up in debug console. You can change it to 14 size font then, as it will still allow 5 lines but make it somewhat easier on the eyes.



To think i almost threw that away.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So make a backup before booting, and then apply after doing so. I have to readjust everything now, how lame.

Yeah the only thing that happened was Daylight Savings, since I was playing the game just fine today, and then when DST hit, the .ini files got "updated" and went to their original settings with a few changes to the iniversion variable... This also happened to a few other unreal engine games.

Nothing of any importance got updated though

More ini tweaks, that's how.

Courtesy of GBX's official forums, and the people there who very diligent in searching through their shit.

Gearbox Software Community - View Single Post - Way to see more than 4 bonuses per item?

Basically, you can now get 5+ lines to an item.

Not entirely sure if there are items with more than 5 lines. Some people in there are saying "yes I had some" but refused to post pictures, so I call shenanigans.

It's only really somewhat useless mods that get left out. Unless you care about how much zoom and +crit damage your Sniper or certain guns with scopes will have.

Pretty sure Ammo Regen will take higher priority on the mod list over Zoom and Crit Damage %. Unless you're on console which can't workaround 4-lines (which you are ) you'll see it on PC (unless you refuse to change the font size, then you get to guess!). Only time it won't happen in this order is if you get a red text mod that increases zoom in my experience. Dunno if there's one for Crit Damage %, I haven't stumbled upon it at any rate.

Zoom I'm kind of indifferent about since 180% Bullet Velocity on Lilith means I'm almost never going to have any delay between firing the shot and hitting the target.

I'll give you Crit Damage %.
