While playing The Underdome i encountered a weird glitch-after my team finished one of the 20-round battles and we exited the arena,we all agree'd we were done for the night,and we all left.

I then decided i was going to loot New Haven before bed,then when I logged in solo i noticed i had no class mod or shield,so I opened my inventory and everything was gone-no clue how it happened,very annoying though-lost 3 oranges a kick-ass shield and a couple perfect class mods. :c

I have a solider and siren I'm in the process of power-leveling my Siren right now (she's 36), I prefer using the solider because being a medic is fun.

Shooting people to heal them is fun.

I played as Brick the first playthrough. However, I found Mordecai to be the most fun.

I'm playing Mordecai and loving it. Not a whole lot as far as special stuff, cause I never use Bloodwing, but its fun nonetheless. I'm gonna start a Soldier soon cause I heard they were awesome. The shields (with the turrets) sound quite useful.

I've been trying out mordecai and I just find him boring as hell. I'm not saying he's a terrible character but I just can't get into any of his skill trees.

I think, for me, it's because he's based more around being somewhat sneaky. And a lot more accurate with his shots than any other character. I knew he was a sneak based character going in but I was hoping he'd be different and fun to me. Sadly he's not. For me atleast.

To be completely honest, I feel the exact same way. Trespass is the one thing I'm looking forward to.

That's why I chose him, he's more of a stealthy character and I like sneaking around and whipping ass in the shadows, but as soon as I get into a firefight I'm forced to break out the big guns and abandon my stealth by using combat rifles and such, instead of my bread and butter gun: the sniper rifle.

Which is why I'll be playing a Soldier next.

I think the whole reason I like brick over mordecai is simply because brick plays more to my style of getting up in their face and beating the hell out of anything.

I'm staring to love the little descriptions for the guns.

I have an orange sniper rifle called GGN25 Hard Volcano, and it says "Pele demands a sacrifice!" :rofl:

Then I have an Eridian Gun called 10 Thunder Storm and it says "Lightning never strikes in the same place twice, but it strikes freaking everywhere!" :rofl:

I love this damn.

Hi, everyone! I just got this game for X-mas, and my PSN is SpartanJose777. I'm really liking this game. I think I'm level ten. I found this awesome fire-element sniper, and I'm just having a ball. I beat Nine-Toes (also, he has three balls :P) and am going after Sledge now.


...Does anyone know when I'll start finding revolvers?

Finding them is random. I found a few when I had just started playing.

You start finding all of the weapon types in your twenties, iirc.

Also, what character are you using? I'll add it to the OP.

I'm Mordecai and I'm lovin' it! I dun see how others find him boring, even if it is just opinion. Sendin' Bloodwing out, scoring a crit, and having an enemy explode in gibs and loot is awesome! So is scoring a crit on a skag with the knife and having it's head explode. I especially like how Mordecai may be weak to a degree, but that just means he'll get twenty or so "second winds" in a row when he's swarmed and the machetes/fire-repeaters come out.

I love Mordecai. I just beat the game a few days ago and am planning on buying the 2 DLC when the next one comes out. Is anybody else still playing on the PS3?

Lots of info there.

I've been turned off from this game for two reasons:

1. Friends don't play it anymore

2. Everyone uses hacked weapons

There are also people who mod their characters and just by joining your game they can alter your character's stats whether you want to or not.

It was a great game before all these bad modders started distributing their modded [censored] to everyone. It's kind of like how PSO turned out.

Why should someone else play the game the way you want them to play.

Theres nothing wrong with using mods or haks with this game.. you kinda have to if you want to keep on playing and keep on having fun.

Instead of putting a stop on modding they should just release a toolset editor. For sure it will bring back alot of players to the game.

Borderlands timeline:

Release ----------- Oct 2009
Death ------------- Nov 2009
Toolset release -- Hopefully 2010
Revival of game - Whenever toolset is released
