So my friend bought this game… and we played the heck out of it! Borderlands if you want to know. A very odd first person shooter, but with style and loot. Actually, the loot system is kind of like wowland on psychotics. All the baddies drop stuff like ammo and health, but also guns and gear with a fairly familiar color scheme (white, green, blue, purple, orange). Although, the main difference is that the stats are kinda random in a way, so there are literally millions of combination with the guns and they actually look different too!
The multiplayer is even similar as well since you can have tank/healer/dps roles. I usually like the healer class cause there’s something about healing someone with shotgun or a few well timed grenades that makes me happy… It is a real shame though, that they refuse to develop this into an mmo.
Heal + Grenade…
OH MY HOLY MOTHER OF A…
Just think the possibilities!
Nuclear missile with healing properties?
=O
lemme tell ya… my epic missile launcher of healing with 4x explosive elemental damage has gotten us out of more than a few scrapes! that and sticky grenades… of uh… healing…
anyways yes… it’s a very interesting game! got a nasty bullet wound? cure it with a shotgun! XD
Explosive healing set, you know? Why not!? I mean, look at chain heal. It’s a freaking laser. Shamans shoot freaking healing lasers at you. It’s uncanny! I’ll have you know Mr. Tommelleo as an update, I leave Iraq in six days and return home! I’ll finally get to raid at a decent hour XD.
I love healin` as shammy =3
heh, never thought about it that way… so basically they heal with their chain lightning!!! also… don’t forget they chuck happy healing balls of poo at you too! and of course summon a spirit to help heal you as well… I mean, isn’t that kind of worrying? I don’t trust a dentist with bad teeth or a bald hair dresser… why should I trust a ghost to be healing me?
Yay!!! grats man!!! I hope you have a safe return!

Yeah, I LOVE shammy heals! It’s soooo much fun! Such a shame pallys couldn’t be as much fun to heal with. They always make me have panic attacks cause it takes soooo long to cast and the tank almost dies every 5 seconds or you have to spam the FOL key like a woodpecker until your fingers break off!
Oh snap! Funny you should say that, my boyfriend got his Borderlands double add-on pack thing yesterday. I swear he’s having ‘relations’ with the game as he’s waiting til he can have special alone time (sans me) to install the expansions and start playing again.
Its true though, it would have made an interesting MMO, ‘Hellgate London’ was the same, it had brilliant class system but the bottom dropped out of the company before it could get an MMO release. :(
It did have servers, but they died… I heard rumor someone else was picking it up soon, that or picking up the license to try a different online run with it… haven’t kept up with the news though. I liked single player which is all I’ve ever played of it, multiplayer/online/true-MMOness would rock. ^_^
Sorry to tell you this, but your BF is gonna be in his happy place for a while… XD
You know, my friend played that a while ago and I swear it was like a wow clone. I think he said it had one of their old developers or something? But yeah, it did look pretty and would make a wicked mmo.
I have mixed feelings, but mostly interested in the mmo version of Fallout. Unfortunately it’s being developed by its old publisher and not the Fallout3/Vegas one. So I’m not sure how good it’s going to be, we’ll see…
Now what I really want to see is an mmo version of Oblivion! This NEEDS to happen!
ah well… not like I wont have my hands full when the new Final Fantasy mmo comes out on the ps3. XP
I never played Borderlands…..BUT…ummmmhmmmmmmm
what? Xandy didn’t get that for your bday?! for shame! XD
it’s a pretty neat game… ending was total trash though. but it was still fun. had lots of style like wicked cell shading. and the intro song was by “cage the elephant” or whatever. and of course… shooting your buddy to heal him… >)
I find this funny. (Especially Roland technically could heal with that SMG! XD)
heh, yup! I loved SMGs especially, with fire element for the “HOT”, cause they could zap someone up to full health pretty fast. Almost like a pally FOL heal mentality, lots a little fast heals. Then I love shotguns cause usually they’re full with only 2 shots, but you had to get kinda close. Of course, sticky grenades will always be a fav… >)
Heals would be so much sexier in WoW if grenades/bombs/ general things that go ‘boom’ and leave shiny fire-like stuff behind were involved.
please note though that said healer would be strictly liable for any healing/ lack of healing and any result that would come about from said heal or lack thereof in tort suit because of the inherently “dangerous” nature of the explosive erm… heal. (As if explosives are actualy ‘dangerous’, I just think people are a bunch of wimps nowadays. =P)
….ok I’ll uh….show myself out now, shall i?
like blood and flying limbs?
why does your comment just remind me of “floaty crown-y things”? O.o
That they would Sols! Especially with my global thermal sapper charge! booom!
Heh, Fairly Odd Parents reference! I think one of us watches a little too much cartoons…
Are you sure it’s just one of us, Coffin? ;)
