there are a few "secret" mission you can get from random characters. i got one called "green thumb" at one point by talking to a guy in rust commons east. i saw big sunflower things so i decided to check it out

lol. That's the one we were talking about before, Green Thumb. I'd driven right past that guy a hundred times and never saw him.
Yeah, I get what you're saying. Like the Bandit Key one in Old Haven, or the Recorders in Skag Gully. But no, this one's from the bounty board. It should be there once you get to the Trash Coast. You're not too far off.

I'll probably be getting this tomorrow. It'll be nice to get some games with you guys. What level should I get to before attempting online play? Just to get used to the controls and such.

I'd say just play the single player until you feel comfortable with it. No set level really. Just whenever you feel the time is right, grab a buddy and invite them to your game. All experience and money is shared, the enemies are tougher, and the loot is better. This game's almost purely cooperative with only a few places to slug it out set aside. Though you can duel whenever, the only loss is lowered health. Not like anyone can rob your corpse. And if you don't want to even deal with that you can just set the options to decline duel requests.

I'll see you soon so.

Well, maybe not me particularly. As I said a bit ago, I'm taking a little hiatus. Been through the game several times now, and I don't want to get burnt out on it because it is such a fun game. But Liam, Six, End and B all play so I'm sure you won't hurt for company.

I am considering writing up a guide with all the little tricks and chest locations and things I know, but again, if I do it'll probably be a while.

I still try to play a little bit, every other day or so. The majority of my attention is definitely on Uc2, at the moment, but I definitely enjoyed playing with you a bit, Cobalt, and I'm looking forward to catching Banded one of these fine days.


Kratos, if you want, I'd be more than happy to hop in sometime, and give you a hand around Pandora. My Hunter, Solider and Siren are all at level 50, and I have a Tank at level 20, but if you wanted someone to hop in before then, I could roll up someone new, as well. Just let me know, and I'll fire a request off your way, either tonight or tomorrow.

k once im done with my hunter class ill gladly join in with one of my lvl 1 characters
ill be on in a bit hopefully. been doing homework all morning
maybe catch end on sometime
has anyone else noticed that a few of the orange guns are just balls?

And it's real simple to fall into K.
Point and shoot with out thinking at it's finest.
The most difficult thing for me as I play a lot of other FPS is the R2 L2 as primaries, and not the 1's like most others.

You can change your controller layout in the options.
I use the preset titled "Resistant" which makes the layout very similar to R2, lol. L1 is aim, R1 is fire. Have a look and I think you'll find a layout to better fit you.

thanks for the volcano end
i got to lvl 50 today
im almost done PT2 as well
respec'd and took out my smirk option since i dont need it. got bloodwing going strong with some other stuff here and there

double post

anyone want to do some mad moxies sometime? i've made it to round 4 on hellburbia and going strong, but i had to go to class and now my buddie's on so ill have to wait til later to finish that one up.

Me got 3 volcanos atm but me fav is ",,,,Mongrul,,,,," It a rare rocket launcher thats AWESOME

Not a problem at all, Banded. Glad you're enjoying it.

I'm about Volcano'd out, but I hardly snipe with Mordecai anyway. I'm pretty sure my Volcano is still above the threshold to one -shot Serra Guardians with Trespass anyway.


I'm really sorry that I'd not been able to get some actual gametime in with you, banded, that day. Dingo, Kratos, I'd love to get some time in with you guys, too, so if I ever catch you guys on, we'll see if we can't get something going. Pandora is a lonely and dusty little planet, and buddies always makes the experience better.


I've still got a bunch of random gear on my Mordecai, so if you guys are in need of Hellfires, or Defilers, or anything like that, let me know. I have zero use for it, and money well above the shown cap, so I'd much rather give it to a friend, anyway.

Would you mind if I sent you a Friend Request, Dingo?

I think I picked up a Mongrel the other day. No real use for it as I love my Rhino. *pauses for "that's what she said"s* I don't know if the stats are better, but if so you're welcome to it.

OK, Im new to the Borderlands party here, played a bit last night, had some fun, but this would be sooo much better with co-op. Im a lv. 6 hunter right now, so if it wouldn't obliterate my character, I'd like to play with some of y'all.

Endlo, mind if I add you?

Send away End just get ready for a laggy teammate that stands around being a shield till me gets mad or low on shield.

Me got a gearbox gun "Rider" and it fun to use. 20 clip sniper rifle with 79 power BUT x150 critical so 1 hit kills.
Me got "Wildcat, Rhino, Mongrel, Law, Volcano x4..." sorry forget rest atm

Me found 2 hidden chests that no youtube vid of yet.

you do get better scopes later on. also you'll become a steadier shot as your proficiency increases with your guns. going for heashots helps, but its a bit difficult with the snipers at the beginning of the game
im going for the rider right now dingo

That'd be great, rayray.

I'll get some requests sent out to you guys, next time I'm on.

I haven't seen Kratos on, or heard from him, but like I told him, rayray, since most of my guys are at the cap right now, if you want, I can roll a new character and we could rock Pandora that way, so it's not mindless. Just let me know, and if you have a preference, for who you'd like me to roll, just give me a heads up, and I'll get them started.

In other news, I picked up Borderlands last night and played for a while. Getting used to the controls sucks, since its exactly opposite MW2 for firing and grenade purposes, and Ive wasted a lot of grenades already, and there's no scavenger perk Smile

I finally got this today, but I tried Bioshock last night, ahead of the release of the sequel next week. Hooked instantly. I'll have to do a bit of juggling.

BS was the last game I'd bought before I met my fiancee, and I played the living crap out of it. I remember spending an entire Sunday (it wasn't football season) going through a giant chunk of the story, then starting over since I didn't like the abilities I'd chosen. Enjoy it!

Soooo Bioshock is worth it then?
...


I know what you mean on the control scheme I find myself at times trying to throw a grenade with R2 and all I get is a gun shot then I'm confused for 5 mins.

Cobalt when you back on? I wanna have another run through with ya, get my level maxed, probably get you to give me a hand getting through some more of PT2.

Considering you can probably get it for under $20, absolutely. Totally worth it.

Totally agree with Ray on that one. A better item from the bargain bin you'd be hard pressed to find. Excellent game.

Whenever you need the help. I'm off Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Off Friday and Saturday too, but I'm taking a friend to the Doctor way out of town on Friday and it may stretch into Saturday. Other two days I'm good though.
I'm enjoying playing back through Fallout 3 at the moment, but until I hit level 20 it won't be anything I haven't done before. No problem taking a break from my hiatus, lol. I'll just sign in when I start up tomorrow and when you get on send me a message.
(Goes for any of you that'd like to play too. This, U2, or MW2 if they've fixed the new care package glitch...)
We can get you leveled and maybe put a dent into the rest of my Mordecai's Moxxie tournements. Still need Ruins and Gully for Pt 1. Just the 5 Round ones. I'd like to do the 20 ones at some point, but they'll just take soooo long.

Maybe if we could get up to three or four people...?
