    Maybe I'm just being pessimistic and impatient, but I scanned some forums about the patch not being out yet and there are some rumors going around that the patch has been delayed till the nineteenth.  I'm not sure where they got this information but does anyone know if this is true?

    Yeah it's true. I think I saw it on Shacknews last week. I can't remember what the reason was though.

    @zicdab: I think they are waiting for the GOTY edition to ship and than the patch will go out.

    You would think that this is something they would want out for the GOTY edition.  I wonder if its actually already on the disc just not available for people to DL yet.  Either way this kinda sucks.  Really been holding off playing till the patch came out and I really want to play.

    The reason it got delayed was because they needed to include some fixes to the new DLC.

    if thats true that its pushed back to the 19th it will be a shame, since fallout new vegas will be in the drive that day.

    Yeah, I was thinking it would make it out before the GotY edition, but unfortunately it didn't which means I won't be hitting level 69 anytime soon. I can't justify playing a year old game that I've already played the hell out of when there's an avalanche of great games coming out every single week for the next several weeks starting with Fallout: New Vegas.

    I'm in the same boat. I really want to overlevel my way through the rest of General Knoxx. But in fairness to Gearbox, there is no rush for the patch to be out for the GOTY edition. Anyone who just picks up the game is going to have a lot of playing to do before they can get to level 61 and this even becomes an issue to them

    First off, they said they were hoping to get this released before GOTY or at the same time.  
    Second, the new DLC brought with it broken achievements that they would include with this patch. 
     
    So to re-cap: They never said that the patch would come out the same day or days before, but they were hoping to get it out by then. Big difference. When they saw broken achievements they would also fix these in the same patch. Right now its in the final prosses of Q&A, so sometime in october yes.

    I guess there is no hard date yet but I thought it was coming out around the same time as the goty edition because that's what everyone was reporting.  Guess I can't blame them for trying to fix stuff for the patch but it's not like I made up a date for when the patch was supposed to come out.  I can wait but it's going to be hard when Fallout is around the corner and I still have to play Medal of Honor, Dead Rising 2, and a bunch of other stuff.

    @zicdab: It's great that the people who've purchased the game and its DLC already are getting shafted while Gearbox is waiting for the GOTY to ship.
     
    I bought the Claptrap DLC thinking I'd be able to level to 69 immediately while the non-DLC owners would have to wait for the patch. I was sorely disappointed to find out that I'm stuck at 61 until GOTY is shipped. There's no point in playing this DLC until I can level as I really don't care about grinding some new weapons out.

    I am willing to be it's more certification issues on Microsoft's end than anything. They probbably want the patch across all platforms at the same time, and maybe microsoft's backlog slowed it down.

    This,  I think Microsoft's cert issues are causing things to be late.  The guys said as much on the Bombcast.

    The patch went into certification on the 18th, so its out of Gearbox's hands at the moment.

    Any news on the level patch yet? I've been looking around for days now and don't believe it's up yet and Gearbox's twitter hasn't said anything. So dissappointed it's not out yet.

    I think the last update was "at the end of the month" which seems really silly considering the release scheduele. Had they done it at the beginning of Oct. or maybe midway, they'd have scored at peak time during this Holliday, what with the amount of RPG's and DLC coming out this week. 
     
    Edit:  http://twitter.com/gearboxsoftware 
     
    People bitching about delayed patch, Gearbox reply: Hang in,  It'll be there soon! 
     
    So I guess we just gotta be patient!

    @Master_Prophet:  Pretty sure it's not out. The newest patch I could get for the PC was 1.4, which said it allowed the DLC to be played. Nothing about a new level cap or rebalancing.

    God this is frustrating me. I've been waiting since day one with two other friends for this patch to come out to clear Claptrap's Robot Revolution.  
    We all bought it day one and we've all been sitting on our hands so we don't have to play through the whole DLC pack as lvl 61s. 
    Not saying it's too big of a deal but I wouldn't have cared nearly as much as if they had just delayed the DLC until the patch was ready.

    Ridiculous. a couple of weeks from now? What in the hell happened over at Microsoft that they're certs can be this backed up for a huge title. They even had the audacity to put up the On Demand version before the damn patch release.

    Yeah, I bought the new Claptrap DLC because I figured the new level cap would be out a few days from it. By the time this comes out I'm going to be busy with finals... D:

    Waiting for the patch is a bit annoying, but at least I have about 237 other games to keep me busy in the mean time... God, I love the holiday release window.

    Wow, I'm glad I didn't end up getting Claptrap just yet, I didn't know that they were relying on a separate patch to up the level cap. I'll probably get it then when this patch is released.

    This is getting really old; this thread is almost 3 weeks old and still the patch isn't out.... i'm pretty happy with my decision to buy another game instead of waiting to grind through the new DLC until i reach new level cap.

    I'm still waiting to start the Robo-lution DLC, but the wait isn't really bothering me much since there are loads of new games coming out that are occupying my time.

    @Icadae:
    Funny you should say that! I'm actually playing Borderlands on the PS3 and i bought the Claptrap DLC the day it came out (since i wasn't at the levelcap and i was enjoying Knoxx so much). But finishing up Knoxx i did hit the levelcap and i didn't want to jump into Claptrap DLC and waste all that XP, so i decided to wait. But after a week or so not knowing what game to play in the mean time i picked up Castlevania (also for PS3) and a MS points card. 
     
    With those extra points i bought Super Meat Boy (which is awesome) and RDR Undead Nightmare (also awesome) and my girlfriend spent the rest. So i still need to figure out what i'm doing with those extra 800 points. Might spent it on Mass Effect 2; Shadowbroker DLC or the new Alan Wake DLC (the writer?) but those are both 560 points = which sucks! Too bad Plants vs Zombies is 1200 or else i would've bought that.
