I certainly hope not, that's my last best hope to actually play with people that aren't at my exact level. I hoped Destiny's low level cap was a way to "fix" that, turned out to just be another way to enforce even more grind. Hopefully less exponential scaling means being +-5 levels doesnt' mean you're completely useless/overpowered like it does in BL2.

the modded weapons sucked. Like the Black rarity ones. Ruined the game towards the end of its popularity

Modding sucks, but I don't think gibbed save editor is really meant for that. I just use it to change my level & sync my loot to it. People will hack weapons without gibbed anyway, even happened on console didn't it? Besides, I play with friends, so it was never a problem. I fact I think I launched matchmaking once in BL1 for a trophy and never in the PC version of 2
Nah, if they didn't care about it when Gearbox made the game, it's definitely not a priority for 2K Australia. Just stick with friends I guess.
It's not like Diablo 3 console is any different. Anything non-server-based is vulnerable.
Absolutely. I used Gibbed lots to make subsequent playthroughs of each class better. By starting at level 32 on TVHM. I didn't really feel like starting at level 1 with every class. The game makes it easy to try different builds and the story progression is plenty doing it starting on playthrough 2.

While I'd love a new gen version, the art style still looks solid on the old hardware.

I completely forgot this was coming out this month. Really excited for it, loved the first 2! Can't wait to co-op with my friends.
heh, elemental butt
Man, I'm so ready for this game! I hope it keeps me busy for awhile. Going to play as Athena first, focusing on her Phalanx and Xiphos trees.
I think the Grinder has a lot of potential to really make looting even better. We now have a great way to use the gear we don't need!

Great OT! Cannot wait for next week!
Who else is going to play as Claptrap? Nisha is the only other character I would play, but my friend is going to use it, so I will just keep with Claptrap as primary + other character

It seems like Claptrap is the ultimate Borderlands support class with tons of fun for himself. So many "help the group" abilities while having the most random ass primary action skill of everyone.

So anyone know the new weapon types the game will have? I know there's laser guns~
Laser and Cryo are all they've announced so far. I'm sure there will be lots of unique legendaries with crazy qualities. Hopefully they drop more often in this game. I don't like to be forced to raid to find decent legendaries. It's not like they're overpowered (at least most of them), they're just the most unique guns to use while all the others adhere to the manufacturer quirks.
Or hopefully they release DLC that has legendary vending machines like Torgue. It gave me a chance to try out the Kerblaster, Nukem, and Unkempt Harold. (or maybe that machine that chews up lesser weapons will have a decent chance at legendaries if you feed it multiple purples.

Yeah, that's why I'm picking Claptrap, since I mostly only play co-op. I'm going with the "you're gonna love me" skill tree lol

neat, Cryo.
And after playing Destiny, ANY type of loot will make me happy Hehe. Hrm. I'm deciding whether to wait for the inevitable game of the year edition(Still want to play through Shadow of Mordor).
Shadow of Mordor is really addictive but you'll be done with it in a week honestly. Fantastic game IMO that is worth trying out. I just don't have the time for Borderlands yet due to school (since that game grabs me for WAY more than a week, so I'll be waiting for the Steam Winter Sale.
There's a 5th class?
Also the OP needs to be updated with new information because it is wrong. New classes have never been a part of a Borderlands season pass. You can play new purchased classes through the season pass DLC content but the season pass itself does not contain new classes.
Gaige was a preorder freebie and then was $10 outside of season pass.
Krieg was $10 outside of season pass.

They said they're planning to give a Handsome Jack bodyguard/decoy as a playable character later with seasson pass, but it's not confirmed.
That could be cool I suppose. I wonder what his action skill would be. Summoning random Hyperion robots?
Yep, it's going to be
Handsome Jack's clone

The 5th class is called the doppelgänger according to a leaked pic, which I can't seem to find right now lol
The character itself is confirmed as of right now though I think to come at some point in the season pass

The defensive bot sounds really good for solo play, on paper at least. Depends on your playstyle of course, IMO offense is best defense and everything else can be sacrificed for maximum powah.

Pretty excited for this!! Still trying to decide whether to get it on 360 or on my PC which I'm going to build in the next month or so. On the one hand I can get it on release for the 360, but on the other hand I can get a much better version if I wait a month...

Gosh. I kinda wanna preorder it now, but I know it'll be on sale ._. I'm stick with BL 2 for a little longer
i guess i dont know yet but yeah he seems really solid/survivable. his action skill includes a drone thats sole purpose is to keep his shields up, heal etc.
Health tanks that instant kill you?

Looking forward to co-oping this with a mate. Games + booze + pizza = a good weekend.
Every time I open my friends list I see JaseC idling in games
Agreed. That was one so awful, I didn't even bother farming him. Just killed him once by killing the worm, letting him step on the pool and found a nice spot near the entrance gate where u could hide. Went out to eat dinner and came back to find him dead. I prefer bosses like Crawmerax and General Knoxx, even though Knoxx wasn't a raid boss, his damage was fair and u had to keep those medics in check, because they healed him. I would say Pyro Pete was also pretty fun with the DoTs and using the sewers to get rid of it. I really dislike those raid bosses who just one-shots the entire arena.
Will probably play Wilhelm, since he resembles Roland and Axton the most (played em both in BL 1 and BL2). Those turrets were the bomb, but flying surveyors will do the job just as fine I guess. I wonder how (in)effective the new element, Cryo, is. If it's the most OP element in the game, I might put some points in the Cold War skill, which increases the freeze chance.

My resistance to buying this is weakening. Maybe I'll get this instead of Ryse.
