[ALL] Borderlands 2

[JayDizzle]

I'm going to wait and see as far as this DLC goes.

Gearbox didn't do itself any favors allowing Pitchford to preach on his stump that if you didn't like Colonial Marines, that's on you the player and not them...

BUT...

I gotta believe that if there's something they won't fuck up, it's this franchise.

I just wonder how many people are still going to want to fork over another wad of cash for a game most have moved on from and won't pay for extras like skins you can't trade to friends.

I honestly haven't been very impressed with the Borderlands 2 DLC so far, and if Gearbox decides to charge extra for a level cap increase, I'm sure as hell not going to buy it.

I haven't played it yet but I haven't heard many great things about it either.

From Gearbox Software:

"For a look at this mysterious new vault hunter, details on the upcoming level cap increase and more, come check out the Gearbox Software panel at PAX East on 3/24/13 at 12:30pm ET in the Main Theatre"

Celebrate the Luck of the Zafords in Borderlands 2 this weekend with special in-game events and gear!

Each year, around this time, the Zaford clan takes a break from their war with the Hodunk bandit family to celebrate their good fortune and honor those that have passed on, such as that time Scooter buried their son alive in a shallow grave.

During this time, those who play Borderlands 2 while connected to the internet will see a temporary increase in the drop rates and rarity of shields! Plus, Absorb shields will have a better chance to absorb enemy bullets and Booster shields will have a higher chance of dropping a shield Booster when damaged.

In addition, the Zafords have prepared special gifts! To receive your celebratory Zaford gear, including special green skins for each character and a Chulainn SMG that will be the the same level as (and appear in the backpack of) the first character you load, enter the SHiFT codes below into Borderlands 2:

PC / Mac Zaford Gear SHiFT Code: KTCBJ-C9RTC-BSFTJ-33TT3-FBWHF
Xbox 360 Zaford Gear SHiFT Code: KJCJ3-RCWC6-5K9BF-WFBT3-3WFKK
PlayStation 3 Zaford Gear SHiFT Code: CTK3B-99K3J-XXKW3-ZTWTJ-HJH5J

Better act fast, though! The above codes and bonuses will only be active from Thursday, March 14 at 12:00PM CT through Sunday, March 17 at 11:55PM CT.

TL;DR - Free Green-themed skins (they look like the Rares if I remember correctly, especially Sal's), plus the leveled SMG going to whoever you load up first.

It's the same gun you get if you...

 

pick the Zafords at the end of the Clan War sidequests

...but the stats might be improved a little.

Also the Drop Rates are up with Rare Shields showing up more often on top of Booster/Absorb Shield stats being upgraded for the time being.

It'd be a good time to get in if you are going through PT2. :tiptoe:

Borderlands 2’s Level Cap Will Go Up To 61 On April 2

At Gearbox's PAX East panel today, the developers of Borderlands 2 announced that players maxed out at level 50 will finally be able to get to leveling their characters again. As of April 2nd (next week!) you can download what is basically DLC for 11 extra levels (that's up to 61).

But it'll cost you $5 for the add-on, unless you've got that nifty season pass.

The add-on will also come with the return of the Pearlescent weapon type, which was a set of high-level weapon drops and an extremely rare find in Borderlands 1. We haven't seen this weapon type in the sequel yet, but if you download the add-on next week, you might see it pop up here and there if you're lucky to find one of those crafty little guns.

If you've played Borderlands 2 to completion and then played it through to completion a second time on True Vault Hunter Mode, and you're still looking for more, you'll be happy to hear that the game is getting something of a new game plus plus mode.

It's called Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, and you'll have to be at level 50 to run through on what will essentially be a third playthrough. This official third playthrough means, of course, that the difficulty will be scaled much higher. Gearbox announced the news today at their PAX East panel.

The update comes out next week on April 2. Best news, though? It's a completely free update.

It better damn well be no extra cost for season pass holders. Gearbox would've lost my support if it wasn't included.

At this point, I think most have jumped off the wagon.

After Colonial Marines, waiting so long to do the Level Cap increase (who here is honestly going to play the game AGAIN on a harder difficulty that PT2, through ALL the DLC?) and the 4th DLC level still on tap... :smh:

That new melee DLC character when we already have Zero is awful as well.

Everyone that was at the 2K conference at PAX East is getting the new DLC Character for free. :tables:

 

[JayDizzle]

Thankfully the last DLC for Season Pass 1 is all in-studio through Gearbox and not 2nd/3rd Party and is slated for the end of June.

Maybe.

I don't have any interest in any Gearbox joint without the Borderlands title as it is. I'm already doubting I'll get the next Borderlands on release, and if I do, I'm certainly not buying a season pass until after they've released a few pieces of DLC.

 

[JayDizzle]

So the last of the Season 1 DLC level packs is where you "play" as either Brick, Mordecai, Lilith (maybe Tina or Roland depending on where you're at in the story and when you start it I suppose) as they "play" one of your characters?

While you play as them.

Very Meta.

Also, it's set in a D&D campaign setting.

Those nerdier than I are losing their shit.

new limited loot chest

new limited loot chest

Gearbox's last Borderlands 2 loot chests were such a hit, they decided to make a new version to match the style (aka diamond plated) of the in-game chests in the sequel.It's a collaboration with Think Geek, and they're only releasing 5,000 of them.The chests will be stocked with new content, including redeemable in-game legendary weapons or items that will scale to your character's specific level. It also comes with a Goliath mask that you—your real, fleshy self—can wear, as well as a Shift code (found on the back of your mask) to redeem a customizable Goliath head for your in-game self. There's some art in there, too: wanted posters for each of the original vault hunters.It'll be available in May for $99.99 on Think Geek's site, or ShopGearbox.com (for international folks, you can pick one up at forbiddenplanet.co.uk).

I don't know why but I haven't had any desire to play this game. I have the season pass for 360 but still haven't even finished the main campaign on that version yet.
