    Hi this is one of my first posts here, anyway I got this game not too long ago but unfortunately don't have anyone to play with. I have a level 19 (somewhere around there) Hunter and my borderlands sn is BorderIFBS if anyone would like to play. My connection gets pretty spotty at times though. Is there any sort of list or group I should join to find PA people playing?

    depends. what platform are you on?

    I'd really like to hop on and try hosting with Gamespy, and see if it now magically works.

    Cause if it does... awesome.

    I had a great New Haven run last night. I picked up my first really great sniper rifle for my Hunter. It has 380 damage and a 9 round clip. Life is good.

    Also, I am doing all of the side quests and I am finding all of these little nooks in the game that I missed the first time around. And, I am upset at this board because I just found out last night that I could see the challenges on my ECHOnet. I need to know these things people.

    Quick question. I have heard that if you have purchased DLC you wont be able to play with people who have not. Is this true?

    You can still play the core game w/ non-DLC purchasers. You just can't bring them with you into the DLC (and if you are in, say, Jakobs Cove, you'll have to leave it to bring someone who doesn't have Zombie Island into your party.)

    I believe he is talking about the in-game Achievements which can be seen on the same menu that you use to access your quest list. It's a button somewhere on the menu that looks like a set of ribbons and medals.

    And yeah, Borderlands has some great little details tucked away off the beaten path.

    Yeah, I found outpost scrapple last night. What a gem of an area.

    Yeah, I mean the "challenges" like killing 10,000 people, selling 5,000 weapons.

    I have only bought 54 things though in the entire playthrough, which is stunning to me. My Hunter is level 27.

    So have I and I've never heard of Outpost Scrapple. So i googled it.

    And all I got was this thread...

    I'm guessing it doesn't exist or he's using some made up name.

    FREAKING FINALLY. The PC multiplayer issues forced me to open every TCP/UDP port on my router so I could host a game with my brother. Even worse, if I wasn't in Firestone, it still wouldn't let him connect. I'm gonna call him tonight so we can shoot mans.

    This also releases me from my self-imposed boycott of DLC. I'll be happy to pay for more now that I don't have to jump through technical hurdles to play the game.

    Ha,

    I must have read it wrong. I meant the Old Lynne Abbey. How I got scrapple out of that is beyond me. I did have some crazy glitches last night after doing the beacons missions. All the text was messed up and every quest showed up as completed.

    Iolo, I learned about it from that loading screen. I shouldn't have to read to play games.

    Ha, indeed. I didn't even know it was called that. I love that little area (the Abbey and all those little nooks over the drawbridges.)

    If you take the south drawbridge and head north towards the abbey in Rust Commons east, you'll eventually go under an overpass and right about that spot it says "You have discovered outpost Scrapple." I'm assuming it refers to the abbey and is short for scrap chapple.

    No, not yet.

    Okay, on the one hand having the intro movie play unskippably whenever I start the game is pretty annoying (esp. since it starts again if I don't stick around to hit "Enter.") The old way of taking it out of the WillowThingy.ini file isn't working.

    On the other hand, I've noticed that Brick's belt buckle has a lightning bolt and the letters TCB. Anyone who has been to Graceland knows that's Elvis for "Taking Care of Business!"

    EDIT: That's no not yet for a date on the 3rd DLC.

    Seriously. With quicksilver on the siren, then thing unloads in a second, and reloads in .000001 of a second. I was charging SuperBad crimson mechanics (the guys with the shields) in the Crimson Fastness and taking away their shields and health within a clip.

    I think curly offered some kind of idol or something to gearbox to get such awesome drop rates. We seriously had like 10 good drops within 25 minutes.

    That's similar to the best SMG I've ever found, only with about 50% more damage.

    That's a hell of a Stinger alright. Was it level 37 when you found it, or was it a 48 tagged by the proficiency bug?

    I feel like the latest patch improved performance substantially. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but I feel like I'm able to play for longer at a higher resolution and even alt-tab away and not have the kind of slow downs and frame rate hits I would get before.

    Yeah, I saw that graphic glitch. I asked you about it because I wanted to make sure my PS3 isn't starting to shit the bed. I never saw it during single player (albeit, I wasn't in the same area where we saw it).

    Yeah, I saw that you got that pestilent defiler last night and got kinda excited. After you logged off I did a New Haven run and found my first two Volcanoes. :D Then I went and laid waste to things.

    Mikey Neumann is teasing us that a 3rd DLC character will start twittering soon. There's a General Knoxx account set up, but it may well have been set up by some 'scamp' from the GB boards.

    While there I saw someone talking about the "dev chest" in the Rust Commons West which led me to this:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc07cPRFYxI

    Huh. I had no idea this was there. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through more than maybe once to have done it.
