borderlands bug?

[JunK]

well this is hilarious. i just bought borderlands and now im playing through the introduction. well i got to a part where i couldn't advance anymore, it was bugged or something. i went through until i got to the first town, killed all the badies but the robot just wouldn't respond, he was sitting outside in front of a door in the town and wouldn't do anything and i couldn't open any doors.

so what i did was exited the game, went back in to see if it would fix itself. to my dismay it looked like the game started over, as in i was right where i was when i just got off the bus and everything, and i had to basically start all over, except keeping all my eq, money, xp.
the hilarious thing is, all the boxes and stuff i've opened were closed back up with money in them again. so i basically just went through it again, getting all my xp again, money again, and even duplicates of the starting weapons you gained halfway through

hahahaha

i assume i can do this over and over and over and over until i had like 10 million bucks etc. would be boring, but if theres a need for it i just might

Yeah, you can up to a point, but then the guys you kill would only be worth 1xp each and it would take forever to get to level 50 like that. Also, it would take an eternity to get $10,000,000 using those bundles of $15.

Much quicker to get past the buggy part and get to the real fun.

Also, there are more parts of the game where you can almost finish and then quit and redo and still retain your money, items, etc, plus all the stuff is higher level.

All of the boxes and safes restock in Fyrestone when I go back to them.

Nothing can beat my electric autofiring sniper rifle that explodfes on contact with 1200 damage crits.

Going through it all again is what New Game+ is for D:

I actually just ran into a really irritating bug. I was at the mission to defeat Max in the circle of death or whatever. I tried to beat him when I was about 2 levels below the mission level and got crushed by him. So I got leveled up and went back. Upon entering the arena, the angry midgets attacked, I ran them over... nothing happened. The boss never came out, and you can't leave the arena until you beat him. Lame. I tried for about 20 minutes to trigger him to come in so I could fight him, as well as trying to bounce off my vehicle onto the ramp I came in through. No luck. Finally had to drop three grenades and kill myself, which cost a lovely $8200. Exited the game, came back, same thing, so I just restarted the game without suiciding, came back and it worked. Really irritating bug.

I believe what caused the bug was the fact that I attacked the midgets and didn't go near the door he drives in from fast enough. They really should just add a switch somewhere in that arena to trigger the event which deactivates after you beat him so that people can't just keep fighting him for the exp/cash.

Another bug I see all the time is that enemies get stuck in corners. They run away from me and hide and then when they try to come out of cover they just seizure there in the corner until I kill them.

And another enemy bug I noticed was that almost every group of enemies I fight there is one guy that runs towards me while facing the wrong direction and fires in the complete wrong direction. Kinda funny to watch, and helpful, but it kinda ruins the mood of the game and reminds me that I'm playing a game.

I've been hearing A LOT about bugs with Borderlands. I'm not sure if I'm going to get it, if I keep hearing about all these bugs and glitches.

Suck it up tidus, every game has its bugs.

+1 All games have their bugs when they release, so don't worry about it.

Lol yeah. And honestly none of the bugs in this game are really game breaking by a long shot. I would say every bug I've encountered thus far can easily be corrected with 1 patch that we'll most likely see within 2 weeks tops.

And the "connection error" bug we keep hearing about seems to be client side. I guess some ports need to be opened up or something to work right. So not really a bug like everyone was saying.

I've already gotten about 28 hours clocked in this game since it's release and I have enjoyed every minute of it. This is probably my second favorite game after TF2, I doubt any game will beat TF2. Until TF3 of course

 

[blackhawksniper]

I have played it for hours and have found no bugs.


And FYI, all the areas restart once you leave them, so you can get a ton of cash from going to the same place over and over again, not just fyre

 

[babyJam]

no bug here either... cept this one time i dove off a ramp for some loot and ended up jumping to my death.... cost me $150,000

and resettin the zones for money is good and all.. but its easier to just pick everything up and sell it.. im sittin on over 2mil atm
