ok this looks pretty dope. similar enough to scratch the same itch but with enough new features to keep it interesting. loot instancing and the enemy balancing should help playing with friends.

Yea.

For these that can't wath it. Not only is the loot instanced, but it spawn for your level. So if you are level 15 and your friend 5, each get a weapon of his level.

I can't watch the stream at work - is there any running commentary summing up the notable points and new features somewhere?

How does the combat look? Does it seem like it's polished over BL2, and did they majorly change any systems? I like BL games but I'm really ready for one that doesn't lean heavily on the second wind system.

There will probably be a list after the stream, on /r/borderlands or some site. I'm too lazy to write anything up, but it looks good.

Summary thus far:

Sliding and Mantling is in.
3 Separate Action skills, one assignable at low levels, and a second later (or Zane gets two but no nades?).
Loot Instancing with item levels converted to player level.
Same goes for enemies, level 5 sees an enemy at 5, level 25 sees an enemy at 25.
Instancing can be disabled (Classic mode)
Guns have two firing modes.
Hyperion guns have shields.
Tediore are thrown and do a thing (shoot missiles, become that walking gun bot from trailer, etc)
Sanctuary III is the home base, a ship that has a Destiny Postmaster-style machine that'll retrieve loot you "lose" by not picking it up.

What is the point of having levels at all then? Seems like their goals could be much more easily accomplished by getting rid of the entire RPGish stat system and just keeping skills for progression.

Is going to be weird to kick barrels instead of avoiding them, like we did in the past borderlands.

I guess this mean somo mofon is going to collect all barrels from a level in a single place and instantly kill a mob has soon it appears.

The stream confirmed the first impression, then added a mountain of important QoL additions, then a fuckton of weapon porn / variety.

If anything, the boss battles where too sort... maybe they where secretly boosted for demo purposes?

Just so I got this right, there's three actions skills but a VH can only have one at a time, except for Zane who can use two at once but at the cost of his Grenade mods?

We've only seen the two so we don't know I think, might be each VH has a different setup.
