I'm actually looking forward to trying a pure melee build on Zer0. You can stack a wacky amount of damage buffs for melee attacks, and I wanna be an invisible pinball with Execute and Many Must Fall.

The big question: Will the loot be instanced?

This made playing Diablo 3 with others actually enjoyable for me, it'd be a shame if this game didn't do something like that and it was just a mad dash for loot if you played with pubbies.

Yeah, Critical Ascension looks to be the best T6 skill, and that combined with the really varied sniper rifles we've seen so far and At One with the Gun could make for some crazy close range action as well. It's a good thing repecs are cheap, I'm probably going to be doing it a lot.

If you're really worried about it, remember that you'll probably be able to pick up the DLC for less than the season pass cost if you can hold onto your wallet until the next Steam sale.

Do we know anything about the DLC? I only want to buy the season pass if I think the DLC would be worth it.

Step 1: Think about how much more awesome than the base game the BL1 DLCs were (discount Moxxi, the season pass is all Campaign/Story DLC).
Step 2: Think how awesome BL2 looks to be.
Step 3: Buy the drat season pass. :black101:

What about the new class DLC that is available to all who pre-order? It says "Receive a free download of the all-new Mechromancer character class as soon as she’s available" on the page. Could that mean it will be the first DLC, or something completely separate? Sorry if this has been answered before.

The Season pass has been confirmed to be all Story/Campaign DLC where you get new quests meet new characters and go to new areas. So Mechromancer is seperate from that.

Yea, given how most of the dlc turned out for 1, I can't imagine it not being worth $7.50 a piece for these. Considering I was able to get in on a 4 pack, this seems like a perfect way to spend the saved cash.

They said at the PAX Gearbox panel that Knoxx was their benchmark for all the future DLC but that they didn't have anything set in stone as of yet. Mike Neumann put out a suggestion to the crowd of "Scooter's Scooter Racing - With Scooter!" that got an overwhelmingly positive response and an embarrassed Randy Pitchford hung his head and said that he guessed he'd have to go with 4 DLCs + Scooter Racing.

They also gave free season passes to everyone in attendance that made waiting in line for 90 minutes worth it.

The only way that Scooter's Scooter Racing should work is if Scooter asked you vandalise them show-off so-and-so's well before the race by destroyin' their custom made jalopies considerin' they're made from stolen parts'a his and all. You then steal back select parts from each racer and enter the race yourself in a Scooter that Scooter has made, which is a 20ft tall monster with six engines, a pushbike bell and a little basket.

You then crush all the other racers as they curse your name and get a shotgun that fires nuts and bolts out of a supercharger.

Do you have any further information about this? As far as I'm aware they've always had a catch-all in their TOS forbidding VPNs, but they only punish for buying games cheaper internationally, not unlocking early.

Hah, took me like a full minute of idling in the steam group chat until someone did a drive-by invite. :) (My Steam username's Palantyre.)

I'm pretty sure I'll go with Axton first. I have this habit in any games that have character classes of always picking the most "Regular Joe Soldier" type first. Thus I picked Roland as my first guy in BL1, and since Axton is basically Roland 2.0 there's a nice sense of continuity.

Also, goddamnit why must the international release be three days later, I'm gonna lose my goddamn mind between the 18th and the 21th.

Back when Saint's Row 3 came out there were a poo poo ton of people (goons) who unlocked it early and we never heard of any blowback. I think that they would pay alot more attention to pricing than just early unlocks, but even pricing would be something where maybe they'd only really come down on someone who abused pricing to buy a ton of gift copies and then sent them out to a bunch of people, like they were buying wholesale and reselling or something.

I haven't heard anything about it, and I really doubt they will because you didn't really have any choices in BL1 besides what kind of gun you used to kill a million dudes.
