Borderlands Getting Free Level Cap Increase

Tommy — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:33:34 +0000

When details of the latest Borderlands DLC, Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution, were announced, there was no mention of a level cap increase. Fortunately, one is coming — and even better, it will be coming free of charge to all owners of Borderlands on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

When he wasn’t busy discussing the return of Duke Nukem, Gearbox co-founder and CEO Randy Pitchford spent some time at PAX revealing that, around the release of the Borderlands Game of the Year edition (scheduled for October 12), Gearbox will update the game to increase the level cap by eight, bringing it to 69. They decided on an increase of 8 because they didn’t want it to be too low, or as high as the 11-level increase that the General Knoxx brought.

Joystiq reports that Pitchford explained that Gearbox opted to make the increase a free update instead of including it in the Claptrap DLC because then “you’d have to buy every previous DLC.” Also included in the free update will be a rebalancing of the original game to cater to the new level cap. Given that these are the sort of things you might expect to see in a premium DLC release, it’s nice to see Gearbox instead release them to fans for free.

Wanda Rodriguez never knew Victor Peraza growing up. He split from her mother just months after she was born and was never a part of their lives. But in an uncanny coincidence, the New York nurse was reunited with her terminally dad some 41 years later.

Flameseeker Chronicles: PAX 2010 travel diary

Tommy — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 17:33:36 +0000

It’s Sunday night and PAX is over. My iPhone and laptop are screaming for mercy. It’s been a wild ride, I have the Con Crud, my feet hurt so much I keep checking to make sure they’re not stumps, and all I want is to turn the clock back to last Friday so I can do it again.

I had appointments and interviews with so many different game studios, and I was excited about every single one of them, but you guys know I was making Guild Wars 2 a top priority. I squeezed in time to indulge at every opportunity and have a lot to say.

When I was spending time with Guild Wars 2 this weekend, something struck me over and over. Every employee whom ArenaNet could possibly spare from the office was there in force. I asked at one point and was told that every person wearing that white shirt was an ArenaNet employee. They were out there doing everything they could to spend time with the fans, and more than one developer told me that it was a huge thrill to finally be able to share all of this with people who love it as much as they do. The inability to share all of this exciting news has been as frustrating for them as it was for us, but it was for a good cause, and I think every fan at PAX this weekend agreed it was worth the wait.

With that in mind, it was an easy decision to share my weekend experiences and photos with you guys for today’s Flameseeker Chronicles. Follow along after the jump while I go find more Nyquil.
