Rotating types? I didn't even know that was possible. You were playing alone through right, so it wasn't hacked that way?

there is a rotating one... its a bonus from one of the red text addons.

Yeah, I got it out of a red chest while playing solo. It does all the elem dmgs, just 1 of them per shot though. I can't remember the complete name but it has Chimera in it.

By the way I was mumbling about you while we played the other night. It took me awhile to figure out why you kept shooting me.

Anyone heard if they devs have any plans to make it where you can move guns from one char to another?

I think I remember reading that you'll get a "locker" w/ the newest DLC. I don't know if you can share it w/ your other chars though.

Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot also adds a new bank feature, which allows players extra storage capacity for when they encounter one of the more than 16 million weapons that Borderlands has to offer;

Don't forget the new DLC comes out on 12.29.09.

I hadn't heard that, very cool. I figured there would be more coming, just didn't know it was that soon. I also want to check out some of the changes. Knowing fully what weapons actually do will help when deciding what to keep.

Bober - I couldn't resist going back to New Haven last night after we played. Every one of the chests there were upgraded to only having lvl 48 items. Didn't get anything worth a crap but at least there is a better chance at getting some better higher lvl guns.

Finished up playthrough 2 story missions with BoberFett using Roland. I still have a lot of the side missions to go back and do but I'm thinking about trying some of the other classes.

Looking for input about the other classes.

i also started a litlth i think i got her to level 40... the phasewalk duration needs to be longer and recharge quicker... thats my only issue.

yeah they have the skill specs to do that, but you have to of course waste points

I went with the high crit modifier, and defense mods

I'm playing Lilith at Level 25 or so right now, with an explosive x2 class mod, and the health regen ability and phasewalk is pretty sweet. I jump into a group of baddies, hit it, it deals explosive damage, I heal and then it does more damage coming out. I think if I had a level 2 fire mod, I'd use that instead, since I've only made it to the Rust Commons so far. I'm really wanting to get to PhaseStrike, now that it's not busted.

As far as weapons, I think I'm getting pretty good drops. I'm using the "Spy" SMG as my main, I picked up the "Blister" from a mini-boss, got a couple of alien weapons, the elephant gun, a pretty sweet fire revolver, and some other random stuff.

I got the new DLC, played a bit last night. It takes forever to play through from what I could see, I would suggest making sure you have several hours to play. From what I could see you need to beat five rounds of five waves of enemies. I got through the first round of five waves, and that took about 20 minutes. Difficulty seemed to go up quite a bit in round two, and I died in the first wave which booted me out of the arena. It looks like you could keep playing as long as you were playing multiplayer and your friends could kill off the remaining enemies while the killed player sits in a "penalty box", presumably for the remainder of the wave.

The bank vault is cool, I upgraded directly to a level nine bank for $4.x million and have 39 bank slots now up from the base 12.

whats up with the bank vault?

Allows you to stash your goodies. However, wtf is up with the enemies not dropping loot? I beat the first boss of wave 1, and he didn't drop anything either...pissed me off. I stopped playing after that. Waiting for friends to get the add on.

So. In general, it's similar to the horde/firefight modes of gears and halo. It's funny how they have supply drops that mimic MW's care package... lol, but where are the damn weapons????

If anyone is interested in playing with me, I'm digiramm on live btw. Feel free to add me, especially if you have good guns.

I believe after the boss round (last wave of each round), some loot drops in the center of the arena. I think it disappears when the next wave starts, so you have limited time to scoop it up. It doesn't drop off the corpose of the boss.

I only played through 5 rounds of Hell-Burbia, but so far pretty pleased. At level 48 and with a pretty awesome hellfire SMG, I was mowing down everything in the game, including the Zombie Island content. This DLC is actually pretty challenging, the random debuffs in the later rounds keep things pretty interesting.

I'm hoping a future DLC fleshes out the loot more to make it more rewarding. Looting is pretty easy right now. I've found if you start the game at Crimson Enclave, you can turn around and go back 1 zone, and there's 1-2 red chests (second chest doesn't always spawn for some reason) that you can loot right there without dealing with any enemies. Save, quit, restart and repeat the process. On a REALLY boring day I've farmed a bunch of nice orange weapons pretty easily. Hopefully in a future DLC they'll make a tier of weapons above dark-orange that can't easily be farmed (rare drops from difficult bosses, a la WoW). Would make it a bit more rewarding time-sink, which is the type of lame gameplay extending stuff I appreciate. Would be nice if they had unique weapons like Diablo that had static stats that you can brag to your friends about.

Has anybody seen an Orange+ shield, grenade mod, or class mod?

I've never even seen a purple grenade or shield. Class mods I've never seen better than purple. As for something above orange, there is another white above orange, unless that's a bug. I had one white weapon that when sorted by color, appeared before the various oranges. Almost looks like a brighter white. Got it as a quest reward, it was an acid pistol with the red text Big Tony Says Hi. Didn't seem all that special to me, other than the fact that it was this other white color.
