New Mechromancer Class, Character Customization Coming To Borderlands 2

Mechromancer610610.jpg

During their PAX East panel today, members of Gearbox announced that Borderlands 2 will be adding a Mechromancer class and character customization to the massive shooter. Rather than a stock assortment of gear and costumes, players will have to earn their new wardrobes.

New gear, costume pieces, and even custom heads can be acquired by completing missions and challenges, as well as ranking up. In addition, players of the original Borderlands will immediately be rewarded with an exclusive head and skin.

The Mechromancer is yet to be developed, and will be made available as post-launch DLC. This female character seems to be a mix of human and machine, and can control a large robot known as D374-TP (Deathtrap). The character will be made available for free to those that pre-order the game. There is no ETA or pricing available for the Mechromancer yet, but Randy Pitchford said he hopes to price it at a level "comparable to most DLC."

Would have been nice to them have fixed the first one on the PS3 with the save game bug that would corrupt save games for no apparent reason. Alot of people associated it to a PSN connection dropping but I twice had to start from scratch without that happening. Made me give up on what I considered a very enjoyable game.

Can't wait.

Started playing through the original again (fourth time) to brush up. Finally bought the expansion packs, and I'm halfway through those. This isn't going to last me to September! Such a bummer it got pushed back again, but fall has always been my gaming season. <3

Someone really likes the original one

I started playing alone when it came out, as Brick (though I never finished that playthrough). Then I started over with friends, playing as Lilith--we went through the second playthrough.

I just bought the expansion packs (wanted to finish them before the second game came out) but haven't touched the game in over a year, and since I no longer have my save on my HD, I had to play through the entire game again in order to play those. It went fast, since my boyfriend decided to give Willowtree a go.

I do really like the original. But I'm not obsessive over it, either :p. It's genuinely a great game! I usually play the hell out of my games, and that one just happens to have a lot of replay value, for me. :)

I haven't bought the expansion packs myself, but I have played them. On another system.

As for the gameplay, I have finished it 1.5 times. Was almost in the middle when Battlefield 3 came out, and then Mass Effect 3 and now Max Payne 3 and .... the list goes on

That's my problem with the game coming out in the fall; so do all of my other favorite games.

IGN seem to really like it. I think this is my most anticipated game of 2012. I put so many hours into the first one. Luckily I've got 4 mates who all like playing a different class to me so we should have a nice balanced team.

Really excited for this game now. I've been playing the first one again. I got 95 hours clocked up on it. Pretty much every mission is done except for You.Will.Die, Crawermax on playthrough 2. Not even worth trying, i can't even last a minute.

Just got this beast of a weapon Assault Rifile, it has 231 magazine, the power isn't as high as some rifiles but the accuracy is high so i can just hold the mouse down and let it rip.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
