Correct me if I'm wrong but, I am pretty sure that saving is just for the purpose of progress, not respawn point. It will save everything you kill and all of that, but you're always going to spawn at a New U station.

Matterialize · 10-29-2009, 9:19 PM

Yeah. You'll spawn at the closest New-U that has the fast travel and all that jazz, not the checkpoint ones.

[WillowGame.WillowInventoryManager]
InventorySlotMax_Misc=12
WeaponReadyMax=2

Apparently almost all of the aspects of the game are stored in .ini files on your computer. I changed InventorySlotMax_Misc=300, and I now have 300 backpack slots. There's also multipliers to change the difficulty (default +1.0, can go up to +6.0), which also affects loot. And there's a MaxPlayers=4 setting, I wonder if changing that works.

Holy shit this is awesome.

Matterialize · 10-30-2009, 5:44 AM

Wow, changing those variables actually works?

I can't believe they made it that easy to cheat. Cool.

Benjaman · 10-30-2009, 5:46 AM

That's awesome. There's a problem with the 4+ players, there's only 4 slots in a normal game's lobby, right? I doubt the .ini file will change that.

SODA · 10-30-2009, 7:04 AM

I really don't want to cheat, but I am going to change my inventory size.

Pitabread · 10-30-2009, 2:34 PM

Expansion? I guess I shouldn't really be too concerned with it since I haven't beaten the actual game yet, but sounds interesting.

If it spawns more enemies i'm down for punching more heads off. I didn't realize how fun it is to do that.

BanMe · 10-31-2009, 3:59 AM

So we all at lvl 50 here?

SlothMan · 10-31-2009, 4:29 AM

NO WE ARE NOT

SOME OF US HAVE NOT EVEN PLAYED

FUCK

Tempest · 10-31-2009, 5:29 AM

43 on xbox, 32 on PC.

Benjaman · 10-31-2009, 9:20 AM

29 on PC.

fisdunctional · 10-31-2009, 11:08 AM

42 On xbox, plus another level 20.

Matterialize · 10-31-2009, 11:21 AM

33 PC, 40-something on PS3

Pitabread · 10-31-2009, 11:22 AM

23 on Xbox, I guess I have some catching up to do.

Alcoholic · 10-31-2009, 5:24 PM

About halfway through level 42 on PS3. I keep finding a shitload of Legendary weapons and new Eridians. I found a way to copy weapons too - I'm sure most of you have found it out one way or another too, but if you want to clone a weapon for a friend it's pretty sweet!

tanbash1997 · 10-31-2009, 6:15 PM

Fixed.

And, I hate you for ruining the Goddamn ending for me. Asshole.

Alcoholic · 10-31-2009, 6:22 PM

Most of us know, but spoiler that shit man.

Spastic · 10-31-2009, 6:42 PM

Here's a video of Matt, Ben, and I playing Borderlands. Just a little glitch of Matt standing in the gunner seat we all found entertaining.

BmphP · 10-31-2009, 7:33 PM

Why do you guys have this game for multiple systems?

SODA · 10-31-2009, 7:40 PM

ITS THAT GOOD

'Cause they can.

BanMe · 11-01-2009, 10:18 AM

Anyone else think eridian weapons suck balls? its in spoiler so i dont ruin your surprise in finding it out

The_Solipsist · 11-01-2009, 11:24 AM

It's called getting a high proficiency with them.

LandMarkMoon · 11-01-2009, 11:38 AM

I think he just wanted to use spoiler tags to complain, not really to put something coherent.

Benjaman · 11-01-2009, 12:43 PM

peew peew

This pistol has fire/corrode/shock, and explosion. So, it can do fire/blast, corrode/blast, etc. My favorite is the shock-to-take-away-shields then blast-to-explode-them-to-pieces shot.

Also, this revolver that I'm using is awesome as Roland with a level 8 Metal Storm ability. It reduces recoil and makes my fire rate better. So essentially, this gun shoots like a repeater after killing a few guys.

LandMarkMoon · 11-01-2009, 12:47 PM

Fuck me, those things must be loaded with nukes.

The_Solipsist · 11-01-2009, 1:00 PM

I have a shotgun with 180 x 12 and a 167% damage increase. Who wants to touch me?

Pitabread · 11-01-2009, 1:12 PM

Hooooly shit ben did you find the chimera or was it a reward?

Momanmomananam · 11-01-2009, 1:19 PM

I've actually been really disappointed with my loot drops so far. I'm level 24 on my Siren and I've got weapons that are pretty decent. But every single weapon I find it's the same thing. I find which one is more valuable and sell it because nothing I find is better. Hell, stores have weapons way better than what I find. And I tried multiplayer with some friends. We all got to level 13. The loot is supposed to be much better, but all we got was a shit-ton of ammo. Does the loot get better as you go along?

Item of the Day at the Weapon shop in New Haven. I was lucky to randomly browse the machine to catch it.

Currently on 2nd Playthrough with level 42 Soldier (PC) and I must say its quite a jump but not that hard to get used to.
Also here's my Soldier
http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/sk...50050510500000
He's pretty much self sufficient with the scorpio turret giving ammo and health and with a major cooldown I can pretty much throw one after another.

Plus anybody having online problems? I'm getting lost connections, server lags and when I do get into a game it's pretty much rush to a chest and loot everything before the other player gets it especially with Siren users.

Benjaman · 11-01-2009, 7:27 PM

After Roland was discharged from the service he has had many mercenary type odd jobs. But he needs something more stable that pays well and that there is a need for. We have to look no further...Roland is to be a group safari guide/butler...servicing the needs of his rich bounty hunter princesses while they go out on Vault Hunting safari.

He may have a few Brick and Mordecai customers after word gets out of his business, because everyone needs an excellent butler/safari guide. However the bulk of his business will come from Liliths.

He will keep them refreshed... powdered up... he also gives out wet-naps and wipes to clean the back of a dirty, gritty neck in Skag gully. He is an excellent host and some of his turret mods even kick out snacks and drinks. He is a certified weapons smith who can service the gear needs of the Liliths while on safari, making sure that their SMGs stay properly tuned.

Roland does not come cheap. And only the wealthiest of aristocrats from planet Lilith can afford his expert services as a safari guide.

Roland's main job in combat while servicing his Lilith customers is to properly de-shield all "bad guys" so as to let the Liliths take them down faster... and subsequently have all the Liliths scream in unison "Girl Power" or do a group hi-five and say "you -go - girl." Whereby he will say something "from the street" that will get them all giggling and whispering to each other how cute he is. But Roland made promises to the wealthy fathers of these girls that his services would remain strictly business.

Roland's job is to insure the girls have a safe and sporty Safari... and the huge deposit and fee's paid by the Lilith's daddies to Roland can ensure this.

Do not pass up this huge (intended) game mechanic. Ask for one orange weapon from each of your Lilith customers before you begin your butler services. Word will get out of your business and like a good gigolo, your phone will be ringing off the hook with Opportunity! $$$

I usually have to join a game or do something to get my friend to join my room(let alone anyone else) to get my host started. then usually random game crash usually interrupts the game.

Maybe you should try joining are posse, me and my friend usually try to divey up weapons, because sharing is caring: however were only on are first play through.

Matterialize · 11-02-2009, 1:31 AM

Find some people to play with regularly. You know, like friends. Loot theft is no longer a problem.

15 good enough? they just generally suck compared to say a reasonable sniper. Granted that the shotgun eridian weapon is good but i found it lost use after a few levels, same with the sniper. also too ther other person complaining about spoiler tags. Yes i am just using them to complain, but i do believe that was rather coherent, imo, they aren't that good.

Oyabin · 11-02-2009, 6:29 PM

I'm planning on buying this as soon as I get enough money for it. With Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 coming out.
But from what all of my friends are saying, it is a must buy.

Demonizer · 11-03-2009, 1:39 PM

I have Borderlands for my PS3, im only a level 22 siren since i have only playerd 2 days. My question is, in the inventory page, where alll the weapons are displayed, you can put two weapons into the slots, i know you can get upto four, for quick change. How do i do this? I have gotten the bag upgrades but that only makes my inventory bigger. Please help.
