Borderlands Online Play Suffering from Bugs
Despite wholly the positive buzz surrounding the game, Borderlands is in danger of congruous yet another great game whose launch is tainted by broken online behave. A few unlucky players (on all three platforms) have encountered a brave-crippling bug that strips them of their characters’ progress when playing multiplayer.
Multiple threads forward the official Gearbox forums point out that skill points and weapon proficiencies are at intervals reset to zero when players join or leave a match. And during the time that the proficiencies should theoretically be recoverable over time, the skill points are indubitably lost permanently — forever erasing characters’ action skills and any advanced abilities they’ve acquired.
The bug is popularly listed in Gearbox’ known issues thread, and a Gearbox employee responded to some of the numerous tech support threads with the following: “Your announcement has been heard and we’re working on it. Unfortunately there isn’t a fix just yet, but when one is suitable we hope to be able to repair as much of your nature data as possible.”
We’ll be keeping an eye out since any forthcoming patch announcements for Borderlands. Until then, play online at your have risk.
