The laid back exploration society...

[J_Th4ng]

I'm gonna have to drop out tonight. I spent a fair amount of time last night battling to get my mic working under Win7, and am getting nowhere. I'm not going to join the co-op scene until I've got it working, hopfeully in the next couple of days.

Enjoy though, the game is pretty awesome, and co-op will make it even better :D


Well, the good news is that I now have a working microphone again (new sound card FTW!!)

The bad news is that the core group that started on Sunday are so far ahead now that I'll never catch up :(

Anyone interested in setting up a slower paced group that will play max every second day (more likely two or three times a week) for a couple of hours (8pm - 10pm/11pm).

I'd like to expereince the entire game co-op, but taking a slower approach, so that everyone in the group has a chance to read all of the quest details and follow the story as we go, as well as doing a fair amount of simple exploration.

Anyone keen?

I don't mind starting a level 1 character and doing all the side quests.
Just hope the Gamespy issue is all sorted now though.

Jarrod, I don't think that the catch up issue is going to be as big as what you think... As per your Dragon Age thread, I totally agree with it.
There just isn't enough time to play games these days... And it is sad. My play times are Sunday to Thursday, maybe 2-4 hours per day. I don't play nada on a Friday or Saturday, so believe me, the frustration is strong with this one :rofl:

I want to still HAVE time to play all the other games I enjoy, but I also really don't want to fall behind too far.

I don't know who has what level characters, but as a suggestion, I think we should get characters up to level 19-20. That is the time most people will move to the next "zone" if you can call it that. That being said, I am sort of "parking" my lvl19 Siren for now, because I really wanna play other games. And if Gayspy fucks out like it did last nite, it really eats up my ltd playtime.

I would start another character... but ffs, I don't have even enough time to play 1 character solidly.. :banghead:

[Stu]

Drag - I would start a char again with you.

But perhaps you and I can pair up for a game or three as I am only lvl 14 so we evenly matched? I will be trying to fix my crash issue this weekend by borrowing some DDR2 ram modules from some mates.

*NB* I would consider this a secondary character, so if the original grrroup was playing on a night that clashed with this one, I would give the original grrroup priority. Very keen to try a different class to Hunter though.

[J_Th4ng]

Cool stuff j0no, but ideally I want to put together a group or whom this game would be first priority. I get little enouigh time to play, wouldn't want to lose out on a night's co-op Borderlands because the other group was playing. I'll put you down as a reserve though.

Well, you guys just go ahead and see how far you get without me then :ras:

[NiteShade]

I haven't bought the game yet 'cause I thought it'd be another TQ... me joining too late to really play MP.

If you get a 3rd person, let me know and I'll purchase the game. I'd be keen to participate in a slow-paced MP experience.

Otherwise, I was thinkin of just buying Dragon Age.

[Paul]

I will most probably get this game on the weekend, if I like it then I will join you on this quest but for now I will put my name down as reserve in case this doesn't float my boat

I have had a week from hell - it started with Jay saying "Do you have any idea WTF the time is" at 00:30 on Monday Morning - just as i was finishing up an excellent round of Borderlands.

I slept for 2 hours and our baby woke up with a serious fever. So that is how monday began and it has just got worse day by day. I have drunk so much coffee that my eyes are turning brown. So i think that i will have to join the LBE (Losers but Enthusiastic) society or :banghead:...

By a process of elimination, the classes for the game as follows:

1. Drag (Soldier)
2. Ice (Siren)
3. Slo (Hunter)
4. Shadey (Beserker)

Shadey, if you change your mind let us know, and maybe Paul would like to join us.

I love it when you so force full! So now... Thurs is COD prac is it not? I am available tomo for a game and or Saterday night for a long gaming session...

I have good news my Xbox is being replaced on Firday this means that Claire can be entertained with series while i p00nzaor the mostaaaarrrzzzz

[SloDaz]

Excellent - Shadey if you dont like being the tank let me know and you can snipe. Only reason i chose the hunter was because Jonno and Phats were having soooo much fun sniping on Sunday. I was tanking so i dont mind continuing the Beserker linage. The tank is still cool coz you can activate the battle rage and punch the crap out of the enemy.

Actually all the classes are so well balanced that all of them are fun. If i remember correctly the hunter has an eagle that swoops down on the enemy, the soldier has the turret gun that provides protection, health and more ammo, the siren has the speed and hand pushy thingy and the tank has the battle rage - lots of punching and uppercuts.

We can talk later - looking forward to it

I bought the game Thurs via Steam. Then realized that was dom after I realized its a 7gig download!!!
Thankfully, our esteemed leader Jarrod made a plan with BBH Bounty... I'm getting the Steam backup files tomorrow morning.

I'll be at the Ermelo bro's LAN tomorrow in Witbank, but should be home around 9pm. Would be keen for a MP session.
Just keep in mind I'll be total n00b!

I don't mind being Beserker chick. Pounding enemies with my fists sounds kinda exciting! ;)

[J_Th4ng]

Excellent Sheri, glad you'll be up and running today :)

Okay then, how about an startup session tonight? Saturday nights are actually the best for me, as I don't have to get up with teh kids in the morning :) I'll be one by the time that Camilla goes to bed tonight, 10pm at the latest. We should also set a firm finishing time too, otherwise we may realise that it's getting light outside before we stop!! I'm keen to draw the line at 1am, is everyone else happy with that?

[SlipperyDuck]
