    Borderlands 2 Level Increase and Other Changes

    fuckyeahborderlands:

    Details about ammo, SDU, and Bank upgrades, the level cap increase, and pearlescent weapons. 

    Oh look you’re going to pay for the level cap, we never could have predicted that /sarcasm

    Level cap increase likely due before the end of March

    darthnikon:

    Soooooo basically throughout that whole thing last night where I said “Game shops don’t hold back material from me because not enough D&D players are level 10” (referring to the level cap withholding) and Pitchford was whining how it was about how hard it is to raise it and it’s not about the number of people who are at 50…

    As Lopez explained, picking the correct moment to make everyone more powerful came from poring over player stats tracked by Borderlands 2′s SHiFT system. “SHiFT allows us to see a lot more about the way players are playing the game and see what they’re doing. We wanted to give people enough time to get at least one level 50 and then see from there. We also didn’t want to wait so long that people were no longer interested or felt like it wasn’t coming.”

    Oh no, it’s not about hard, it’s about 50.

    So if we put that together with what Pitchford was saying… well… It really is about how many people are at 50, but raising the cap is hard… but we didn’t have time to plan for it before we decided it was time we should do it?

    And this story was apparently posted while this Twitter thing was going on. Come on, Randy.

    So while Pitchford is basically being childish in his responses and finally rage-blocking (“How much software have you developed since Sept?” “you’re welcome to develop your own video game that does better…”) it turns out one of his own people is confirming what I said in the first place. And apparently Pitchford can’t bring himself to simply concede a point.

    How does someone this immature come to be running a game company?

    Because we’re long past the time where “because it’s a game company” is a valid answer to that question.

    (For my non-usually-nsfw Tumblr) Yeah, I’m pretty much done with Gearbox.

    I see I hit a nerve with Randy Pitchford

    darthnikon:

    An adult may or may not concede a point or agree to disagree, state that they don’t want to discuss something any further without taunting, and then graciously move on.

    That did not happen here.

    (I’m guessing it’s a good thing I didn’t get to bringing up the PoC/voodoo cliche thing in the Hammerlock DLC I mentioned earlier.)

    I don’t think “terrorist” means what @duvalmagic/Randy Pitchford thinks it means.

    I give you @DuvalMagic (Randy Pitchford) of @GearboxSoftware, the crying-est jerk in gaming at the moment. Apparently he feels the criticism being leveled at Gearbox over its patches is uncalled for. Nevermind that making MMO-style “balance adjustments” in a non-MMO is just crying out for criticism from one side of the debate or another. Or that the patches are routinely resetting hours of play in stats. Or that the patches also delete rare items people wasted hours collecting. Or the whole “blaming accidental hardcore mode we forgot to take out entirely on hackers” thing. Or the “uncensored in all regions, because we left out anything that would be censored in the first place” cynical dodge. Or the fact that the patches aren’t actually getting rid of the bugs they claim to. Oh, and there’s that whole “lifted the one thing truly distinctive about Borderlands, the visual style, entirely from Ben Hibon’s Codehunters without so much as a thank you.” … Why should we feel bad for you and Gearbox again, Randy?

    I’m thinking maybe @GearboxSoftware does have some explaining to do.

    Especially since they almost brought Hibon on but didn’t. Maybe Gearbox figured they could rip the style and scenes just fine without the original maker’s help… and he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. Why pay him?

    And to be honest, I’m not sure I want to know how literal they are about that being the “sap” of an actual cat. It is Pandora, after all.
