    Consoles lag, thats why I prefer PC. The graphics cards in the X360 and PS3 were crap when they were new. PC has much better quality and the controls are a heck of a lot smoother. Best thing about PC is that graphics crads equivalent to what they are tossing in the new PS and Xbox were available to us PC users months ago.

    Oh and before you say something about the controls on console being better. I would just like to point out there was a somewhat popular shooter a while back called Shadowrun that was cross-platform between Xbox and PC. Anybody using a gamepad was at a severe disadvantage.

    Anyways, on to the topic of PS3 modding. With the new beefed up security Sony just released for PSN I would be amazed if any of your common modders could crack Borderlands 2 within the next 6 months.

    I didn't realize duping was a butthurt topic. I am not trying to upset anyone when I have posted in the giveaway thread. I would just like to face terramorphous with something more than a peashooter Purple weapon and not getting hammered in seconds..

    It isn't that duping is the problem. The problem is that most of the guns going around right now are from mass duping. I personally think the people doing the giveaways are some great people for being willing to spend their time getting items to give to other people to help them out. It just seems the lazy players are taking advantage of them, then they get bored and start mass duping for other people because they have nothing left to do and suddenly we have thousands of people with a (insert legendary name here) and that is what we legit players have the issue with. Most of us have nothing against the occasional dupe for people who just can't seem to get that gun to drop or even a gun to help people farm. I want earning a legendary I spent hours farming for to feel like an achievement, yet when I join a public game (Gotta get my forum advertising done somewhere :)) it seems like everybody in the game has multiple characters with vaults full of the item I just got. It ruins the sense of accomplishment a little.

    In other words. Duping in small amounts is OK, mass duping spreads around enough of the item that they don't feel as rare and my time feels wasted.

    Not sure why you have quoted me?. as i said i dont mind and respect how everyone plays as i personaly have played both ends of the spectrum .

    I have chars that have 127 backpack space to hold all my fave weapons and i play with a construct level 50 zero so i would never judge or dictate how anyone should play .

    No argument from me pal , I am more than aware that pc rules with the gaming sceen in regards to graphics and frame rate handling and that consols often suffer terrible lag .

    But for me its a state of mind in that i personally dont feel relaxed playing on a pc . It just feels like a more chilled out experiance when playing on the ps3 and i even tried playing with my ps3 pad on my laptop once but it still didnt fell right but hey every ones different i guess .

    Also i hope your right with the encryption stuff as i know willow tree 2 is been worked on right now and while i wont BS you by saying i wont try it if it gets realesed ..........part of me hopes it never will for everyones sake.

    there's actually only a few active mass dupers at this time... eventually all of them (including myself) stop after a while because it gets old really quick. i was getting roughly 10 a day, and at that point it became too much to handle. i would get pissed and yell at people for even entering their menus, let alone if they visited a vending machine or whatever lol.

    at first it was cool as most people that showed up were fellow forumers and had accounts here and they made nice chats. but after that it was all downhill from there as zeflo111 is about to (or actually has already) find out :D. though i did meet some cool lurkers too. for example, there was one guy and his girlfriend that i met who just play together splitscreen normally. they don't have a million hours to farm weapons. i dropped all my stuff and they went crazy lol. a couple casual gamers who are going to get to have some fun thanks to me :).

    btw, i have made it very clear in my thread that most of my items are dupes and i only do duping. zeflo111 has also said in his thread he got all his stuff duped from me! i have never fooled anyone into thinking i was giving away originals. my first post originally mentioned that I got most of my stuff duped from trevtrev, and then anything new i found myself farming X Marks the Spot for countless hours! i also made it clear in my duping rules that i drop everything and i restore my characters after they leave (that's duping :) you know).

    but yeah, the ones you got to worry about are the ones who are supposedly "trading" and not telling you they eventually pass their new weapons to another character and then restore their games! in fact, that's my question to you guys... how do you know you're not getting duped lol?

    lol i just feel so sorry for them when my 5 year old boy says "daddy whats that say":confused:

    Bless their cryptic asses.

    On a serious note tho , isnt it possible for the mods just to delete and block people who keep sending this cr4p as i noted one this one guy has multiple post all of which are spam.

    Surly the forum has a kick button just like the game :D

    They worked. There are just already hundreds of spambots with accounts we haven't caught yet.

    I agree it would be nice if it quick saved everytime you droped or picked up an item. It would make the game have WAY more re-playability and i'm all for that. That being said. I have a TON of duped weapons. Gotta keep up with everyone else. Maybe in borderlands 3?

    This game cant handle its self at the best of times so if a patch was issued to make it save every time someone dropped or picked up weapons or items it would cr4p its self and die and probably make my ps3 explode ,killing every one in the room

    I think that might be a little dramatic.

    It certainly would :p, I see your point but you know what im trying to say is true to an extent as the game in its present form has more issues than teenage junkie going through a sex change :eek:.

    The game handles itself extremely well on my PC. Of course it is saving to my SSD, but still.

    Consoles cannot be upgraded in any way and were using hardware that was crap when it was released. If you want a game to run flawlessly, play PC/Mac.

    Behave your making me jealous :p.

    o well back to my console with substandard crappy parts that were standard in pc,s a decade ago :mad:.

    it is a shame tho because someone far more knowledgable than myself informed me that the ps3 (he was refering to the launch model) is not been used to its full potential and could do a hell of lot more but is been held back for some reason .....and this guy is an xbox owner / fan boy
