Level cap increase April 2nd! Pearlescent Weapons too!
Thrd Playthrough and cap increase! Just got this on the twitter machine.
@GearboxSoftware: Who's excited for the Borderlands 2 level cap increase releasing April 2? We're cranking it up by 11, adding a third playthrough and more!
I'll be a vault-hunting fool once again starting next week! Looking forward to the level cap, new guns, and character. Since they are adding a new level of weapons, I wonder if they've made it easier to come across legendaries now? Either way I'm pretty excited. This game and Skyrim are probably the only two games I have that keep me coming back for more long after the purchase.
Shitty that they're launching this the saem day Defiance launches.
Defiance is looking to be great, I'm loving the beta!
All sounds good, i'd saved a lot of side missiosn and DLC though thru the game in anticipiation of the level cap. So i may not even need to replay the game for a 3rd time to get to 61. But i can't see returning to the Borderlands until the 4th campaign expansion drops at the earliest, i'll be too wrapped up in Defiance, playing a brand new game instead of the same game for yet another go-thru.
I think to get to higher level weapons you will need to be in the Ultimate play through. I have no clue what Defiance is, so it is not on my radar.
I'll be your huckleberry next week strike!
Defiance is Borderlands just done MMO style really is about the best way i can describe it.
Yeah, the multiplayability is a nice touch, I hate not being able to do anything during my second playthrough so I can save every quest reward for 50. I mentioned Defiance because TANK mentioned it as well. It's the first MMO to hit the Xbox 360 since FFXI came out in 2003. It's a huge project that's even launching alongside a TV show, the beta was really fun, and the updated version I saw looked even better, so I'm super hyped.
Lots of fixes - no more thieving rats in Petes. Evil Smasher buff fixed and may more.
Wow that's a lot of bug fixes. Sucks that now we don't have bee shield or evil smasher for quick farming Terra for E. I'm sure other glitches will pop up with the pearl guns, just a matter of time.
I finally got time in ultimate mode. It is a good challenge. A new bandit called scavenger is tough and picks up drops.
Slag is very important. It last longer and it weakens enemies.
I only took my soldier to 3 Horns. But every battle was tough. I am getting a rhythm of drop guns and slag. I would still find times the bandits will take out my shield and chew away my health very quickly.
This play through will be fun! I can't wait for the first over 50 legendary drop.
I Played a bit with LocGaw earlier in the week, and were both in fight for your life several times. It's pretty hard, but a welcome challenge. Going to be on a lot today, so if I see you, I will jump in.
It did get hairy quickly multiple times. We were ok as long as we could keep them contained. Once we got surrounded those couple times fighting the bloodshots it got hairy. If you cordinate like we were, one guy zapping away shields and the other blazing with fire we were putting them down good. Some of the badass mobs were taking over 2100k damage and not dropping(they were messed up badly though).
We should try to get Cryonic + Stike into a game this weekend and try to blitz through some levels. The 4 of us should be able to steam roll through levels.
I jumped in Wildez game Sunday morning. He was AFK. I had some fun keeping him alive whil fighting waves of bandits. I left after around 15 minutes. He was still alive and everything settled down. I definitely see the huge difference slagging makes with this update.
I just did the Firehawk mission, still level 52 and have not found a single weapon that would make me abandon one of the level 50 legendaries. But the legendary 50's are not hitting the level 53's I am facing that hard. I know I wil be using some keys soon.
Sorry Strike! I hear ya, I'm rolling with conference calls for every element, and it's taking awhile to get some of those guys down. I've got 11 keys or so saved up, and will probably crack that chest a couple times pretty soon.
You guys down to run Saturday? Maybe sometime in the afternoon?
I think we need to push into the game some for some loot chances.
I got plenty of keys (I think 30). We will need to push in to get some loot. But pushing forward is a challenge with level 50 weapons. A few chest pops and some cloning and we can catch up with the game. Maybe make a push into Torque to see what the gold machine is pushing out. A leveled up pocket rocket would be great.
We are having people over Saturday night so hopefully we get some playing time in.
Daughter's birthday pary is from 11-1pm. I will be home around 2-ish EST.
I still need to get a hold of Cryonic. I will give him a call after work. Maybe Sunday is better? I got nothing going on all weekend except down time! I just want to jam out with some peeps.
I will be on Sunday AM too.
@GearboxSoftware: Xbox 360 SHiFT Code for a Golden Key in Borderlands 2: 5BKBB-RXKHW-3THBR-CFT3T-J963H [Active through 4/14]
You guys going to be on tonight at all? Friday is usually my chill night when I can swill a few beers, eat some pizza, and play some games. I'll probably be on 7:00pm EST at the latest.
I will probably be shot after work... I am working Saturday AM so I will probably be in bed early tonight. It is a vicious circle, got to sleep early -> So I go to work earlier -> so I get out earlier -> so I can sleep earlier... lol
Cryonic will be on most of the weekend. I am sure we
I got my first over 50 legendary. It is a 52 Bonus Package. I am about to hit 53 and I may be on tonight.
Cry has already capped out one of his toons. What a fink. :)
