Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

It was a hit of course but it was without any story so chances are little but still L4D was also that kinda game with a sequel but still no news from developers about sequel at all so can't say.

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

I just bought this game off steam and it would be downloaded by evening. Anyone here who would like to join me for Co-op. I guess most of you must have leveled up quite a bit. But are there any new players like me who recently got the game due to the awesome steam discounts?

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

Finally nice to see some good from that news. Well Faun may join you as he has bought this game solely for Co op purpose.

That's great. I just finished downloading it but will start playing today evening only as I have to leave for work. Steam ID will will work in this game too? And DLCs activated in-game or I have to run some set-up. It downloaded 12.5GB of data which took me around 4 days

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

Well these questions will be answered by Faun and ico as they are the steam freaks in this forum. They can tell you everything regarding steam. As far as I can tell DLCs should be pre activated as its a GOTY edition and if you downloaded from steam then ID should work fine.

DLCs are not pre-activated. You will get keys for Zombie Island & Mad Moxxi DLCs & they will be permantly tied to your account so that you can view them any time. Those DLCs will have to be manually activated.

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

Ok I figured it out. Have to go into steamapps>common>Borderlands>setup
There are two setup folders. Run setup.exe from both and put the code that is got when we run Borderlands.

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

Playing DLCs is a real pain. The checkpoints don't work !! Its how gearbox designed to make each dlc seem longer. This is pathetic of Gearbox.

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

^^So how do you save then?

 

[varunb]

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

The game will save your progress in terms of leveling but it won't save your location or position. If you exit your game & restart, then your player will spawn at very same point when you first launched this DLC. If you traveled like 200kms away from the beginning & restart your game later, then you will be back to the starting point. So forget that extra mile you covered to complete a particular objective.

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

^^that's ridiculous. so the enemies respawn as you travel through the same location once again ?

 

[varunb]

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

Yes but this enemy respawning is normal since it happens in those places also that do not fall under those DLCs

 

[JojoTheDragon]

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

Wow, i'll have to check it out. I hope its a bug.

 

[vamsi_krishna]

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

Nope. Its not a bug. It is the way thing is. We know how it feels. It is kind of a chore job to travel that long again. But as we are playing 4 Co-Op, we will have fun while driving. So, It is kind of, not a big deal.

And yes, enemies re spawn again. But, I started liking it. As it will help leveling up.

 

[baccilus]

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

Isn't the character supposed to spawn at the nearest station?

 

[vamsi_krishna]

Re: The Offcial Borderlands Thread

yes.. thats when They die.

Speaking of which, when is our next session? I haven't heard from Sam in a while now. Let's have a session this weekend. I'll most probably have an off for Good Friday. So we can complete the Zombie Island DLC on that day, if possible.
