More ini tweaks, that's how.

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.

FELIPE NO

You consider Ammo Regen, Zoom rate and Crit Damage % useless? o_O

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

Doesn't seem exactly useless. Not really, like...the greatest shit I've ever seen but y'know.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I dunno about them, but Zoom Rate and Crit Damage % are crucial to know for me... Ammo Regen... While it's nice, I hardly ever notice it.. Then again, the only gun I have that eats ammo ( That I use regularly of course ) is my x3 explosive SMG, and I only use that from time to time, so usually I'm only down about 400 ammo and just restock each time I get to a new munitions vendor.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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 %.

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

I'd say I have found maybe 2 or 3 dozen sniper rifles better than that, at least. Agreed that it's not totally terrible, but eh.

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

Holy crap, going through Old Haven now and the game suddenly got a million times better. Loot's way nicer and enemies are actually putting up a fight.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Game actually seems to be easier on my second time through. Almost finishing my second playthrough with my soldier and hit level 50 around Old Haven.

Also a little disappointed how infrequently I find new weapons which replace what I'm using. For the entire second playthrough I've relied upon an assault rifle with +2 to fire, ~93 accuracy, a decent sized clip, scope, and bursts of 5 shots. It does a lot less raw damage than many other guns I've found, but its accuracy and rate of fire has made it untouchable by anything else this whole game. With around level 35 assault rifle and level 4 of the assault skill I don't even use my sniper rifle anymore.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

From 29 to about 42 I had a rocket launcher I couldn't find an improvement on, and for 32 to 45 the deal was the same for a sniper.

When you start getting red text stuff, that usually outdoes the increase in raw damage you'll get from higher level stuff.

With the latest PC patch that hit, for those who edited the .ini files to force the font smaller to see more lines, to enable vsync, AA and the FOV settings, will I have to retweak it now?

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

Got this game from a friend the other day, pretty awesome so far... I have a level 16 Soldier, but I'm struggling to find some decent weapons... Or at least finding a decent shotgun...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

16? If you've not found Sledge yet you must be close, and with any luck his shotty will carry you for a good long while.

(hint: Sledge doesn't know how to open doors)

I think the 5-line fix is in by default now, but you'll probably have to redo everything else. I know all the unskippable movies turned themselves back on.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

When was this? my ini files have not been altered recently.

Do you mean when daylight savings hit? That wasn't a PC patch.

You know, I started the game thinking that I'd play the soldier as a support class, but I've really fallen in love with the Siren playstyle and drawing aggro away from other members.

I just don't understand why they made one of the Soldier's class weapons a shotgun. It seems like he's not really a "get up in your face" kinda guy like the berserker.

No, we mean the patch that was released on the 16th.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, fuck me sideways, I must have missed that post.

Shows how much attention I was paying.

Just got that mine key earlier in the night, so that will be the next thing on my list after a couple of quests to level up with.

Also, how long is the first playthrough anyway?

FELIPE NO

Got about 30 hours or so out of Playthrough 1 myself, though I'm the kind of spaz that absolutely has to do every single sidequest.

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

I noticed that my mouse sensitivity and screen brightness settings were reverted to normal. A quick look at the .ini shows that mouse smoothing is still off, so I'm not sure what all tweaks will have to be re-applied.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I never really found shotguns all that useful, I have to say. Generally they'll either have really high damage but horrid accuracy and shot speed, or be pretty accurate and have a decent rate of fire, but not put out enough damage. I mean, sure the shotguns I find do something like 150x7 damage, but they only fire one round a second with ~60 accuracy, but I can also find automatic rifles with 200+ damage, 10+ rounds a second, and accuracy over 88. That means I can use it for both intermediate range as well as close range.

Debating now if I want to give the siren or brick a shot. I figure my play style will probably be similar enough with both of them as with the hunter and soldier, so I don't know if it'll be worth doing since I'm probably going to wind up playing the whole thing solo anyway. =\

I did have a four player game the other day with some buddies from Left 4 Dead and have to say it was really rad. The increased difficulty and extra tactics you get from having to deal with weak points on enemies and whatnot really makes it more interesting. Wish more of you guys played in the early AM hours.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just a heads-up.

To those who have the game on 360, the Zombie Island expansion is now available. At least 50 new quests/missions and 5 new achievements, bringing the total to 1125.

PS3 owners, I would imagine it's either available today, or it will be available on Thursday (Turkey Day).

For PC version owners, no date announced yet, but it has been confirmed for release.

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

Zombie Island just came out for the PC today with a $10 price tag. I saw on the Steam page this one also has SecureROM on it, so you can only activate the expansion five times.

I don't know if I'll be buying it or not. I've finished the game twice with my soldier, just finished it the first time through with Lilith and got most of the way through with my hunter.

Additional Spam:
Cool, apparently the patch they put out this morning may install SecurROM on Steam versions of Borderlands that don't even have the DLC: NeoGAF - View Single Post - Borderlands | The Official Thread - More guns than the population of the Netherlands

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

And here comes another one!!

Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, the second expansion for Borderlands, is now availaboe on Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 MSP. PS3 owners either get it today or Thursday, not really sure, what with the holidays and all that.

For the achievement hunters out there, there are 5 new ones, bringing the total to 1250.


Part of me is anxious to play it when I get home, but at the same time, I heard if you leave at any point before completing all 3 challenges, or whatever it is, you would have to start over. Again, this is a rumor, so don't quote me on it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I decided to pick this one up in the sales (on 360) so if there's anyone about in a few days time (I'll be back home on Friday at some point) and fancies doing some co-op then give me a shout.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hit me up sometime, OP. I'm usually down for some bordering of lands, and I still need to get the achievements for being a Soldier and Berserker if I had to make a new character for you.
