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.

    • Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch by David Uzondu In April 2025, Notion launched Notion Mail, an AI-powered email client that acted as a customizable overlay for your existing accounts. Instead of replacing Gmail entirely, it reimagined how users interacted with their inboxes by offering features like intelligent auto-labeling alongside automated calendar scheduling. Now, a little over a year later, Notion has announced that it is shutting it all down on September 22. Since Notion Mail is a frontend client, most of your Gmail data will remain safe inside your Google account, but the company said that you must export stuff specific to Notion Mail, like snippets, custom auto-label instructions, email drafts, and scheduled drafts, before the deadline. Starting today, June 25, you can export that data directly from the app or the web interface, and this grace period will last all the way until September 21. Once September 22 arrives, Notion will permanently delete all unsaved local assets, including files you attached to snippets. Your existing database syncs and mail blocks will persist, though they will stop receiving new messages after the shutdown. Notion advises that if you or your company operate within a regulated environment, you must transition off earlier than the general shutdown date to maintain compliance. Companies that rely on HIPAA coverage face an even tighter timeline and must transition away from the platform by June 30th. Notion, in its X announcement post, basically said that it doesn't see the point of maintaining a standalone email client, especially when users have shifted their habits toward automation. The platform pointed to its Notion agents, which it claims "more than half of Notion Mail users" already employ to manage emails without ever opening an actual inbox, so it is "going all in" on using these agents to run your inbox. Notion introduced Notion Agents last September at the "Make With Notion" conference, giving users AI-powered digital assistants that can do stuff like run in the background on specific schedules (e.g., summarizing your daily open tasks every morning at 8 AM).
