Here's my skill tree for Lilith so far

Apparently there is a glitch with the phase strike right now where it won't register the damage when you melee from a phasewalk. Hopefully they get it patched soon though as getting +800% damage with that skill maxed out sounds quite useful.

Sheeeeeeet. Although that would explain why I felt I kept missing with my phasewalk melee attacks.

Loving this game so far. Playing as a soldier. Only problem I've had was tackling a level 15 Roid Rage Psycho (for Sledge) while level 14. Played online for a while to get some levels then went back at level 18 and flattened him.

After thinking they were awful from level 1 to 15 (while spec'd into the damage tree) Soldiers became ridiculously awesome in co-op. Spec'd Support/Medic with the Leader class mod means I regen my team's ammo, health and give them a 20% XP boost!

Oh, and Cauterize is fantastic. Can heal by:

- Shooting at someone.
- Blowing up a grenade near someone. If you have a grenade that splits into fragments and explodes again all the fragments heal.
- Impact and splash damage from rockets.
- Barrels you blow up. If you shoot a barrel while someone is standing next to it they'll get healed by the explosion.
- Your turret's bullets. If your buddies stand in front of your firing turret, they get heals on top of the heals they get by standing near the turret.

The only thing you can't heal with is melee.

Just finished up my first playthrough and hit level 36 right at the end. Gonna start the 2nd play around Friday. Curious to see how much tougher the enemies become.

I was level 16 when I took him on, but I was playing all the side missions too beforehand. Now level 19, just about to go into the mine itself having completed the first Arena against the skags (those two level 18 fire gits are hard when they don't open their mouths!).

This is my level-up tree so far, pretty obvious where I've gone for heh... not sure where to go next: fitness, assault or quick charge. Or I might try to buff the Scorpio shield a little... choices, choices!

BTW thanks.

Well, this is magnificent. It slowly and insidiously pulls you in. There's a kind compulsive magic to levelling, looting, the way that enemies burst into a shower of guns and loot... It may be less plot driven or open-ended than the likes of Fallout 3, but the characters are all better acted for a start. The levelling is addictive, and makes a real difference to everything. I'm playing as Mordecai, and surgical sniping has never felt better - his little chuckles when you get a critical/headshot is worth the price of admittance alone.

Had a split-screen co-op go at the first few hours of the game with my wife the other night - she's new to playing games in general and FPS gameplay, and yet it was simple for her to pick it up. The game played brilliantly co-op in that format. The dynamic of sharing XP and money but nothing else is well-judged, meaning that you can keep a look out for which ammo and stuff your fellow players can use and plan accordingly.

From what we've played so far, Borderlands is an excellently designed and original game which succeeds in everything it sets out to do. I think it's one of the best games on the 360.

Well I'm a few hours in now. To me it is Ratchet and Clank Meets Fallout3 Meets FPS. Started a few dozen times and finally settle on a the soldier. For the most part the combats incredible easy so far no challenge there. The AI shows very little of intelligence and have very simple attack pattens. It is easy to run out ammo the guns so far don't carry e-nuff ammo and you always on the verge of running out. The world looks nice. But it is bit samey and no way as nice as Fallout3. Just different. I feel I'm playing in a comic book. So far it is ok and it is kinda of simple. But I can't help shake the feeling I should have waited and brought dragon age, As nice as this game is.

If you're running out of ammo it'll be because of one or both of these reasons;

your accuracy in shooting needs to improve (and knowing when to shoot is equally important with some enemies)

you're not searching enough to find the dozens of loot boxes in each area. Some of which refill after each mission.

You've not said how far you've got in the main game, so maybe you've only seen the one main area (Arid Badlands) and others will differ? (not been that far yet myself)

I've got as far 9 toes with the soldier. 2 hours with that one. But I can't decide which character in the game to play. I hate to pick the worst. First I was the hunter then I went to the solder and now I'm trying the siren. I can't decide. I keep running out bullets on the good guns b/c skags and bandits. But now I know you round up the scags and then get them to chase you and head to wear bandits are they save me a lot of bullets.

Oh well back to the game. LOL

You'll get the opportunity to buy ammo upgrades from the ammo vending machines as you go along which allow you to carry more ammo. This helps towards the running out of ammo problem.

[HGFB]

I have to admit that by the time I got to the point where I could buy the ammo upgrades that cost 16k each (SMG to 900 bullets) I'm finding myself not running out at all now.
