Level Cap Increase news
Level Cap Increase news
This quote is pulled from the IGN preview of the Torgue DLC coming on 11/20. Gearbox talks about the future post DLC #2 and where they're heading with a level cap increase.
Looking ahead, Gearbox says it’s already thinking about the next downloadable content. Eventually, the developer has plans to raise Borderlands 2’s level cap, but not in the way you might expect. “We’re discussing trying to do it in a more interesting way,” Gearbox vice president of marketing Steve Gibson told IGN. “We think people are going to be really happy when we do get to it. It’s a little bit different way of doing it. Yes, the number will go up, but there are some other things associated with it that we’re trying to do an even better job of.”
Now the only thing 'interesting' I can think of them doing looking at what they've done so far is put some pain in the ass raid boss in the game that you can only fight once a day. Have that raid boss drop a couple mutator coins or some shit that you spend in some vending machine or custimzation machine for 1000 coins to get your next level. Not sure what's intersting about that, i don't personally find that interesting if that's how it ends up going down.
If they make it too hard to level up, I would be dissapointed. I still have not gotten a toon to 50!
Yup, boss fights to raise your cap is lame.
I am thinking it will be something along those lines Tank, which would be a massive fail.
I hope they don't do it like you have described Tank. I am not going to play anymore until the level cap is raised because it doesn't feel right playing it for just better guns.
I really hope they don't tie the higher levels to picking up crystals from bosses on a 24 hr timer. Gearbox has made too many bad decisions with this game already.
Agreed... They did almost everything right in BL1... If it ain't broke.....
I don't see the need for a level cap increase at all.
I know, I know, you all can burn me at the stake for that.
What does a level cap increase get you, though, that badass points and reasonably priced respec'ing can't do for you?
If they can do something "interesting" to increase the difficulty, I'm open to ideas, something new. I don't see the resons to be so pessimistic about it.
I want the extra levels as it gives me something to strive for rather than just play through. Either way, I will play the dlc.
I want to be able to unlock a few more skills. Not all of them mind you, but there always seems to be a couple that would compliment any specific build, but points are lacking to activate them.
Guess we'll just have to see. I really like this game and haven't played much of anything else since it hit the streets over 2 months ago.
The cap increase will change the game. All I hope is the bosses like terramorphous all increase to.
I'm sad to say it, but I don't really care about BL2 anymore. I was so excited when this game first came out. I loved the first game so much that i was certain this game would just expand upon the awesomeness that was the first. After being let down with terrible loot drops in the main game and the ridicuoulousness of the raid boss/crystals/bad loot of the first DLC, I have given up. I even paid for the season pass but have yet to play toruge. I heard that it's just more of the same let down.
I really feel like they tried to artifically extend the playability of this game and it just completely backfired. If they raise the lvl cap, I might play. I guess time will tell.
