F.A.G.S!


Borderlands gets patched today.

Here are the PS3 fixes, from the Gearbox official forums.

• Load times have been improved
• Lilith's Phase Strike ability now works as intended
• The introductory quests with CL4P-TP should now always progress properly
• Fixed a bug that caused the digger elevator to be unusable after completing the Find Tannis mission
• Weapon mapping to the D-pad should no longer reverse left and right
• Fixed a crash when ejecting the disc during the autosave warning splash screen
• Players in a lobby should no longer experience long loading when starting a game after one player leaves
• A bug which caused players and other things in the world to appear incorrectly on clients in networked games has been fixed
• Fixed a bug in which players gibbed in arena combat disappeared
• Changed how space required for saves is calculated
• Fixed a bug which caused the dollars counter to spin continuously
• Various localization and other text and tooltip corrections

i wonder what they've changed about the Phase Strike, seemed to be working to me, i had the Shock Elemental rigged to mine. hmmmm, better play a few more hours of it just to make sure the patch is working :D

also "Fixed a crash when ejecting the disc during the autosave" what kind of total spanner do you have to be to do that!?!? is the rotating icon on screen and the warning pre-game not to do that not enough for you?

    gave up with the epic fail that was the ubuntu 9.10 update.
    gone back to tried and trusty 9.04 jaunty *hugs system*

    may try updating to 9.10 from within 9.04 sometime but it
    really didn't like my system fresh off the CD. pants.

    downloading updates.. laalallallaallallaaa

    running it in 16:9 HD - looks a bit nice on my CRT.

  4. it's all about the speed apparently. much faster they say.

    and 2Gb of free online cloud storage for files.

    has an easier to use software center for managing your programs.

    better hardware detection and support.

    plus some other stuff i'm sure, all well and good, but if i can't install the damn thing....

    my PC is now duel booting. Ubuntu 9.04 and Win-XP.

    right, gonna check out the Borderlands update and set some Claymores in the garden for the trick or treaters :)

  5. Borderlands patch... Phase Walk is most definitely better.
    not noticed any load time improvements though.

    now Lv25 MERCENARY Siren. At the hump guys! the game's capped at Lv50, but they are getting further and further apart. lv26 is now 50,000XP away! *curls up in fetal position* will the killing ever end????

    i have a sexy weapon loadout. (a handgun with 400+ hp damage and a +150% critical!)
    liking the class modifiers you can use. (merc, catalyst, defender etc.)
    perks/ability trees nicely done. (you can skip what you don't need/use)
    the side missions are pretty fun. (currently collecting beer -hehe-)
    the main story is developing nicely. (aliens!!!)
    the ability level locked weapons are a nice touch.
    as is their rarity colour value, oooh precious, my precious!
    you can always sell anything you find to someone.
    slackjawed yokels in space, seriously! :)

  7. you wouldn't believe how i've been agonising over them :)

    but, but, this one has an extra 5hp of damage but loses 3.5% accuracy!! yeah but it has a +4 magazine capability! so? it's yellow!!

    should have a label on the box warning people with OCD tendencies about it. i know it has bazillions of guns, but do i have to check them all out? -hah-

    it's pissing it down here and i need to do the weekly fud shop.
