Level 1677! Glitch or Hack?
Fri, 10/30/2009 - 02:06
I was in a room with a level 30 and a level 31 looting and this guy joined with a level 1677 character. I didnt believe he was actually level 1677 until i saw that he can kill any monster on the map with a single melee. His shield depletes after 1-3 hits but his health remains the same.
This is the only proof i have. I recorded a video but decided not to upload it since it's too laggy to see how much damage he's taking or inflicting. (My fps on the top left is too low to handle the increasing bandwidth)
Im not sure if this is a glitch, bug or a hack but he's probably the highest level currently.

Let's just take all the fun
Let's just take all the fun out of a game by doing something like modding the game into crazy high amounts of levels. That's part of the reason I'm not a fan of PC games, since there's no program to allow you to apply a Clue-By-Four to someone who does it. At least on XBL I can report them.

I concur with you Salen.
I concur with you Salen. Beyond the brief novelty of being able to slay anything without effort, what's the point? This game has been marketed around and built upon a loot system. The whole point of playing is to find the most ridiculous gun around. And, let's be honest, this game isn't the most difficult around.

I have been a PC fan for the longest time. Funny enough I'm playing Boarderlands on the XBOX.
More often then not, there is almost always more content that can be found for PC games. But with that, you also get the hacks. It would be one thing to play the game 10 times through, then to mod it. But it's another when the game is so new, and so many haven't experienced the game all the way through.
Not saying it's a bad game engine, it's a great game engine. But, the unreal game engine is very modifiable. Which also doesn't help when it comes to hacks.

Isn't this like the old God
Isn't this like the old God mode cheat code in Doom, Doom and many shooter games that came after? IDKFA, IIRC. Anyway- yes, the difference is that those codes were intentionally put in those games by their programmers, whereas this editor was not made by Gearbox.
But ultimately, it's really up to the person playing if he wants to use it or not, and it's also up to the person playing if he wants to play with such "cheater" in coop or not.
Personally, I'd say no to this. I remember those games becoming insanely boring and mundane after using those codes. The fun is in the challenge- just like that South Park episode where the kids go up a grade get a new teacher but want to travel back in time to their old grade. I think going God mode in Doom enough times as a kid taught me that lesson well enough. Huh- gamer maturity.
Borderlands looks great and reviews and players says it's great- I don't want to ruin my experience with it by going this cheap route, even if it means I'll end up frustrating myself on the genuinely hard parts of an honest Borderlands game. Adapt and get better or die.

I have a question
How does the gaming co-op work? If I go online and host a public game so my friends and others can join, can I boot hackers? Will they be able to mess me up via hacks after or before I boot them? I don't have the game yet, which is why I don't know this probably basic information.
