    You know, I have no idea what the gun stats are talking about now.

    I have a sniper which says only 104/(or 140?) damage, yet everything which I shoot (shooting peeps at lvl 22-24) explodes into flames everytime.

    Maybe because it has 4xfire?

    Also, is it just me or is the path to tannis supposed to be covered in a shit-ton of spiderants and rakks? :x

    Your level vs the target also affects damage, as does your gun proficiency. 4x Fire just means 4x the likelihood of the elemental effect.

    I'm basically one shotting damn near everything with it. Not to mention my awesome shock shottie, and exploding pistol.

    I also have a pretty high elemental stat as siren, so it means more people will burst into flames. <3

    I'm torn, I have this sniper rifle I've been using for 3 levels:
    ItemCard00000-1.jpg
    Which has a nice rate of fire and a quick clip reload instead of the revolver one

    But I just got an orange one which is pretty much the same except 50 more damage a shot and the pele modifier which means every single bullet is on fire in exchange for only a 6 clip and the slowish revolver reload sequence

    I finished this game tonight. The ending was rather anticlimactic.

    It seemed like all the loot we found consisted of bad ass sniper rifles, leaving me, a soldier, without any great weapons to use.



    I've also been thinking about about how they say that the days are 90 hours long on the planet Borderlands is set in. Am I the only one that thinks that the gravity is too high for this to be true?

    Also, the Soldier consistently misuses military phrases and terms. I know I'm nitpicking here, but still...

    Volcano all the way. I dont care how good of a gun you had, blowing things up EVERY SINGLE TIME is amazing. I have found 4 Volcanos, one at 25, 34, 43, and 48. Each one of them was my pride and joy untill I found the next one. They are all amazing, each and every one of them.

    Spiderants yes, but the Rakks actually won't attack you unless you attack them. Except at the "exit", then there are three that always attack me, but the rest never did.

    Digging around i have found out what ports to forward and to which of your ips to forward them to. Got it to work.

    Your address will be the IP assigned to your computer, easiest way to find this is also with ipconfig in the command prompt. It would be your IPv4 Address.
    (i was forwarding my shit to the wrong ip address so make sure your forwarding your ports to your IPv4 Address.)

    Do this Port Range Forwarding.

    TCP:
    7777
    28900-28902
    28910
    29900

    UDP:
    6500
    7777-7787
    9989
    27900

    Pic I found on another forum that could help further:

    I'm incredibly jealous. As a hunter all I seem to get are combat rifles, rocket launchers, shotguns, SMGs and repeaters :/

    Hey Antihippy I have a lvl 25 pistol and lvl 25 smg that are both amazing if you want them.
    Edit: Gamespy name is Ajaxalot not sure if your on pc though.

    Also whoever recommended rushing through the story on the 2nd playthrough so that you would have almost a 3rd playthrough by doing sidequests at 50 and all the enemys are 50 is a genius.

    Also the names just keep on getting better as you level up. "Apeshit Stunted Lunatic" ROFL

    Anybody else think the name of the planet is a bit suspicious? James Cameron's coming out later this year with his scifi film Avatar, which takes place on an alien planet named Pandora.

    The planet in Borderlands is also called Pandora. It seems too coincidental. Loose change, you could say.

    Why would two different alien planets both be called Pandora?

    I assumed the one in the game was a reference to Pandora's Box, what with all the references to the Vault.

    I wonder if the dudes who came up with the planet's name high-fived themselves afterwards over how clever they are.

    Given how everything else is named in this game, I think the Devs knew full well what they were doing. I doubt they thought they were clever. I think they knew it was clichéd and that was why they named it Pandora.

    Or I give them to much credit.

    At least they didn't do the usual Sci Fi thing of making an obvious reference or meaning with their name but then just spell it awkwardly.

    I did the same thing today Local H, and while most of the "catch-up" trivial missions were easy as hell, there were a few WOAHS that came and kicked my ass. One such case was Mad Mel. Asshole kept getting lucky kills on me.

    Speaking of which, there really needs to be a storage box of some sort to hold your crap. I hate giving up inventory slots to hold stuff that's not for my class, but I don't wanna be a dick and just vendor anything I can't use.

    Okay, my pistol is now awesome.
    Sure, so the damage is only 123 with a 16 round clip.

    But scoped, I pull the trigger once and all 16 empty in about 2 seconds.

    And there is little bullet spread. The sight hardly jumps eaither.

    I enjoy putting about 4500 noncrit damage out on a Badmutha every three seconds.

    I noticed that pistol talents seemed to lends towards the idea of firing a LOT, but I had trouble seeing why that would be any different than just using an accurate SMG.

    So while my original plan was a gunslinger-spec mordecai, I think I'll be going more towards sniper, with some hawk talents because hawk is good times.

    Different ammo types. Plus, anything that makes a revolver go from single deadly shot to many deadly shots is incredibly useful.
