At the beginning of the game you get to pick one of the 4 cla**es, which mean which starting weapons you'll have and which skill tree. Next to that each cla** has their specific power to active with a press of the button and a cooldown. - Also there will be cla** specific powerups later on in the game.

You and most of the moving stuff around you you can shoot have levels, and you're really gonna get in trouble facing something 5 levels higher than you (Appearantly the level cap is at 50 atm).
The loot and guns you find on your travels get worth more as you go along and get stronger and rarer.

From what I've seen so far you're not really required to have people of different cla**es in your party although the healing one is pretty usefull. Also if you're a Berserker you're pretty much guaranteed to not lose a duel.

What if you're facing another Berserker of the same general level?

drokun im about to beat the game ill play with you on my 2nd playthrough

i got a level 34 soldier right now, and im looking forward to getting him to level 50 so i can start dueling, theres an achievement for winning 100 duels and i want it :)
 
yea dueling locks you into a small area so berserkers probably beast it but my soldier is f***ing ridiculously powerful and i have a build idea that should dominate pvp.
 
plus theres an open pvp arena in fyrestone where most people should duel
 
the game is like diablo LITE as far as rpg elements.
 
what i like is the fact not only do they let you level to 50 and have skill trees is that they have the added weapon proficiency. my rifle proficiency is like around level 17 i think

I've tried duelling before and really, once you're in berserk you're like, unstoppable.
Oh I already started my 2nd go by now though, with warheart and xerxes.

They should have cut back the weapon variety and adde more (less annoying) dialogue, hearing they same stupid laugh over and over almost drove me insane, and i was only a fraction of the way through the game! Wonder if we can get our 4.99 back for renting this!?

the game wasnt made to be an incredibly story, im happy they focused on one thing and instead of making a half a** game. honestly i play the game with music on my comp going and the sound effects up, so the only thing i really hear in the game is the gunshots. other then that i could careless about the story its a game based on loot-collecting and leveling. it wasnt made to compete with fallout or kotor for story or dialogue.
 
plenty of good single player games out, most recently Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank that will provide a good story.
 
every review, and borderlands them self have said that this game falls in line with the diablo niche, and its all about loot collecting.. i feel bad if someone bought the game for another reason because you arent going to get some epic story out of this game

I haven't lost any skill points. None of my save files were corrupted. And I don't recall anybody else with the ps3 version of this game complaining about those issues x.X

I enjoy playing this game so far in the week i've had it but the one problem i can see at this point is it can get a bit repetitive.  For every mission i do i keep just going into the same areas over and over again.  Also it seem to take forever to level up, i'm lvl 15.   
 
Could anyone help me level up faster because i'm too impatient to do it myself. lol
all roun nice guy lol.

it seems slower going once you get past level 20. me and ric0 must have played coop together for about 4 or 5 hrs yesterday yet we only went from level 24 to 26/27..

campylaad - i have some stuff you could probably use so next time we're both in borderlands i'll let you take a look.. i have a spare shield which is pretty decent.
Some people are alive simply because it’s against the law to kill them.

Well I beg to differ. I've gone from lvl 1 to lvl 33 in about 20 hours of play. And that is just from going solo. I am using Brick with Tank as my primary and Explosive as my secondary. I specialize in shotguns and rocket launchers. Shotguns make a hell of alot of since if i am going to be playing tank when im online. Only difficulty i had so far was trying to kill Marely and Moe being level 15. Took a long time. Other than that everything seems to be moderate difficulty when solo.

be sure to do the New Haven 5 chests run repeatedly.  Got me an alien gun last night, and upgraded most of my guns doing it about 8 times in a row.  plus made about $700,000 in sales that night
