now that the game is out in my opinion the game already needs a update/fix for most things. for example....make it easier for me to join a friends server without me having the change ports

I whole heartedly agree with you here, that is my one issue with this game. Don't release a game that people are buying to play MP with, and require ports to be forwarded, theres a lot of people who don't have the knowledge to do this stuff, I have even heard that some people had to do it for their console versions.... Otherwise it's great, hope they fix that though.

its a p2p game without dedicated servers - this is completely normal.

you cant bitch about this game in particular, when its completely standard for any game where a player hosts...

I've been playing through the single player bit before i try multi.I'm upto lvl 31 no serious issues at all yet except the objective marker sometimes does not mark the exact location so you have to hunt fo it.Overall i think its a very good game.

shevanel · Oct 29, 2009

so no one has been complaining about lag, does this give others any light in regards to that "other" game being p2p as well?

Deleted member 24505 · Oct 29, 2009

Heres my loadout.The corrosive weapons are really good

I'll give multi a try when ive finished the single player.

The only lag I got was when BOINC was running in the background stealing all the CPU cycles.

shevanel · Oct 29, 2009

I wonder if the lag isnt bad because it's only 4 players max.

OMGGGGGGGGGGG, I palyed this game at my friends house cause hes got it for his 360 and omg, its the bestest and funest FPS with rpg elements game ive ever played. Its got that RPG to it and at the same time its got that proper COD style FPS which everyone loves, I recommend this game to anyone who loves FPS type games and RPG game style, it doesnt have the boring type where you explore the world for a long time and see nothing out of it, there are lots of enemies and places to loot which will keep you playing for hours, sh*t, me and my friends didnt realise we played for 6 hours that quickly when we were co-oping split screen it. Im definatly getting it for the PC when it comes out tommorow ;D

This game has an incredible ability to speed up the passage of time, first play was 6 hours 15 minutes, felt like an hour and a half!

Mussels · Oct 29, 2009

my first play only lasted a bit over an hour, but i'm getting into it

it feels like theres less skills/options with skills than i'd like (just one skill really, with level ups boosting it) but the weapons are nice and varied

Why cant you play with your friends. I will offer some advice that no one seemed to have before, if your having issues. These are the ports that need to be forwarded

3783 (Voice Chat Port)
27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat)
28900 (Master Server List Request)
29900 (GP Connection Manager)
29901 (GP Search Manager)
13139 (Custom UDP Pings)
6515 (Dplay UDP)
6500 (Query Port)

Go to http://portforward.com/ then find your router, set a static IP address, then configure your router to allow those ports to be forwarded, remember to click the "Enable" box to the right hand side of the ports after you enter their info, or they won't be activated. Then you can either add exceptions to your Windows Firewall, or turn it off when you game, I'm lazy so I just turned mine off. Taking all these steps helped me to finally get MP working, and I ran over to my friends and did it for him so he can host, all working great now.

Thanks for that info!

As I said before, my friend lives in the UK. High pings could be a major issue for us to play together. But I will take note of this info and maybe it will help.

Tigger, that shield is INSANE. If only it had health regeneration.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 29, 2009

The Survivor Class Mod takes care of that.

Great shield + great survivor mod = good stuff.

I think the shield I'm using now creates a fireball blast when it runs out. It saved me a few times already.

DanishDevil · Oct 29, 2009

Yeah that is true. I've really limited myself in shield choice by not using that skill, but I want my bloodwing to pwn 6 people at a time!

are you sure it wasn't longer and just felt like an hour?

re-skill is good but I hear you on less (varied) than I'd like, then again I'm not much on RPG's, I'm so happy that there is a Multiplayer First person shooter RPG for me to delve into

This game will unlock in approximately 8 hours .... come on.....

DanishDevil · Oct 29, 2009

Better grab a towel.

Oh I've been playing it already, even thought steam doesn't want me to. The internet leaves many options open in this respect.

DanishDevil · Oct 29, 2009

Got it. I'm actually taking a break from the game for a few days. I think I burnt myself out on it :laugh:

AltecV1 · Oct 29, 2009

is anybody haveing the screen tearing problem like me? BTW im lvl 41 berserker

DanishDevil · Oct 29, 2009

Did you read through the thread and find the fix?

Some classes lack depth, well not lack, but others have more of it. I think Roland is the deepest class with the best possibilities out of them all, after that its really a toss up.

AltecV1 said:

Yes, I was having them, MK put up[ a post a few pages back on a fix. I'm not at my comp so I cant check folder hierarchy. But it pretty much goes like this, go to My documents, Games, Borderlands. Open an .ini and doCRT + F then search for vsync, it will be vsync=no, change it to =yes, then save it, and your set.

TheLaughingMan · Oct 29, 2009

I have been trying to get together with some of the guys here, but everyone seems to hate GameSpy as much as I do, but I digress. I have my roommates in a LAN game playing right now and I will find you Kurgan cause I can see you playing.

I just wanted to know if there is ever a player mod or options to dual wield pistols cause I think that would would be awesome?

Yeah I was under the impression that you could dual wield revolvers…until I played the game. That would be awesome.

Maybe in the future.

just hit lvl 44 it's getting a little grindy now haha.

you might face map marker glitches on scavenger quests. i did

hi razaron I faced the same problem as you " scavenger barrel" so here is the solution just in case you didn't pass it .....

its in ruined vehicle on the hill .... :toast:

DanishDevil · Oct 30, 2009

Yeah it's in the driver's seat.

I think the devs have said that the waypoints for the scavenger missions aren't supposed to be spot on. They can get annoying though, and for little reward weapon-wise. IMO, they should guarantee a blue or a purple gun within 2-3 levels of your character.
