There’s a rumor that a new Borderlands 2 DLC is going to drop after/around E3. Supposedly it’s a storyline bridge between two and three.

i tried to play some Pre-sequel last night but I just don't have any energy. I literally fell asleep while wandering around looking for the quest marker. At 9:15. Just not getting enough good quality sleep right now.

So BL2 DLC is happening. From a Steam leak:
Return to the award winning shooter-looter for a new adventure that sets the stage for the upcoming Borderlands 3. Sanctuary is under siege, the Vault’s map has been stolen and a toxic gas is poisoning Pandora. Fight new bosses, explore new zones, get new loot (including an entirely new tier beyond Legendary) and join up with Lilith and the Crimson Raiders to take on a deranged villain hell-bent on ruling the planet

Returning players can pursue an increased level cap of 80, while newcomers can automatically boost to level 30 and dive straight into the action.

Sweet! This week has been batshit at home, but this weekend and next week I am going to play video games.

we have our church picnic on Sat and I can't work the actual picnic so I volunteer for setup. Which means I'm doing like 3 hours a night of setting up tables and chairs and shit...

I started this

The DLC seems pretty good, although I have no feel for how big it's going to be

Starting at level 30 is cool. Here's how that works

- Your new level 30 character begins in a tiny room. There is a fast travel station and a door. If you go through the door, the new DLC begins. If you use the fast travel station, you can go to everywhere else in the game, and those places will appear as though the new DLC has not begun
- All story missions are completed in normal mode, except the final assault on the giant door in Eridium Blight/Titan Pass/defeating the Warrior. Those are not done. This means you cannot immediately go to True Vault Hunter Mode -- not until you kill the Warrior
- All side quests and DLCs are not done. You can go do them
- However, you cannot do certain side quests that are locked out because the quest offerers are dead/captured/busy. This is the same as before the DLC anyway, though -- if you didn't do Roland's missions, and you got past the Bunker, then his missions were locked out. This was always true. And as before, they will re-unlock if you kill the Warrior (despite the paradox -- this was always true just so that you could play the whole game no matter what)
- That last means that the switcher box is locked. You can't use it, and you can't do the mission that unlocks it. Not until you kill the Warrior. Then you can do it just fine
- Bizarrely, but for fun purposes, even if you start the new DLC, you can fast travel to "Pandora where the new DLC hasn't started yet," and then fast travel back. This makes for weird situations. For example, in the new DLC, Sanctuary is taken over and you are kicked out. But then you can teleport to pre-DLC, and Sanctuary isn't taken over, and you can get to the golden key chest or Crazy Earl's. You can then teleport back to where Sanctuary is taken over. This is all strange but basically lets you do whatever you want
- Your level 30 character will have 26 unspent skill points, of course. You will also have some level 30 weapons, a shield, a grenade mod, a relic, etc. The weapons are pretty good but not purple. For example, my Zero had a slagging Dahl sniper rifle that was perfectly fine for killing things

If you have a level 72 character from before, with overpower gear, a weird thing happens as you level up

Before, level 72 was the highest, and then overpower 8 was the highest overpower level, which basically was a proxy for level 80. But now the level cap is 80, and overpower levels start from there. So some things happen to your level 72 character with the previous overpower levels:

- You cannot sign in at an overpower level anymore. You can only sign in at level 72. This is because to earn overpower now, you have to be level 80.
- You keep your former overpower gear, and can use it. So your level 72 character can use his own overpower 8 gear.
- Each time you level up, your former overpower gear "levels down." You become level 73; your OP8 gear becomes OP7. Then you become level 74; your OP7 gear becomes OP6. It doesn't actually change in stats. It still is a proxy for level 80 gear. It just says overpower 7 or 6 or whatever on it now.
- When you reach level 79, all your OP8 gear will now say OP1 ...
- Then when you reach level 80, your OP1 gear will also turn level 80.
- Now you can go to Digistruct Peak and earn new overpower levels. Overpower levels now go to 10, which is a proxy for level 90.

When you fight Uranus, Tiny Tina goes crazy laughing and laughing into the communicator, saying that you're fighting a butt

Oh I did the new DLC with my level 72, who had zero XP toward level 73 (obviously), and I did no sidequests, and I leveled up one level just about exactly. Now obviously at a lower level, the DLC would level you up more than one level

Yeah, I've been watching it some... it just looks like an updated BL2. Which is a huge disappointment to me, since I've struggled to want to play BL2? I mean, it's a fine shooter... but there's nothing COMPELLING about playing it.

You are obviously invited to play with me and (this dude named Josh) :)

I set my online status to allow friends to just join. Although if you join with a new character, I'll make a new one too, because obviously that's more fun

I am certain we shall be playing a lot of this game. Not certain how much time I'm going to have over the next week though.

Planning on starting with Zane. I've always been a fan of operative style characters.

I really haven't looked at what all they can do honestly, I'm going into this game almost entirely blind.

I haven't even played the new BL2 DLC. I spent too much of the summer studying.

Well without spamming too much info, the short version is, each character has three action skills instead of just one -- kinda means each character has three versions

Zane can have two of his action skills simultaneously if he wants! But when doing this, he cannot throw grenades

You know how I am about grenades.

In ME3 multiplayer, I built an engineer that carriered a heavy Sniper, an assault rifle for emergencies, and was spec'ed to do nothing but spam grenades. I called her Dr. Feelgood.

It's possible to have an Axton with a grenade capacity of 21 in BL2

And then if you have a Magic Missile, you're regenerating grenades
