Can't we get BEYOND Underdome?
As I selfishly skim the released information for details that may be relevant to my level 50 soldier, two things immediately jump out. First, this add-on will bring a bank to Borderlands, giving players a place to leave behind any exceptional, but not immediately useful loot they may find. An out-of-inventory storage area is a great idea, as I'm still running around with old guns that look cool, but aren't powerful enough to actually be of any use in a fight.
Also, the quest rewards in the Underdome pack will include two skill points, which you can apply to your skill tree however you see fit. I understand if this sounds meaningless to you, but if you've played as much Borderlands as I have, you're probably all "two new skill points! YEAH!!!!" It's not quite the same as a proper raise of the level cap, but it's close enough for now.
As you may have guessed from the additional trophy details that leaked out yesterday (if not Mad Max-like nature of the pack's name), this pack adds more arenas to the game. There will be three new "Riot Mode" arenas, to be exact. I have to admit, I'm not sure if the use of this "Riot Mode" moniker will mean that they're any different from the game's existing arenas, each of which offered a few waves of enemies to battle in a tight, dare I say, arena-like environment. They got a little tough, but since you could respawn after a death and run right back into the arena mid-battle, none of them were impossible. Hopefully there's more to this DLC pack than that.
The pack will run you $10 and will appear on the Xbox 360 on December 29. PlayStation 3 owners will have to wait a bit, as that release is scheduled for January 7. There's no word on a PC release, but considering the first DLC--The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned--hit the PC earlier this week, that makes it sound like PC players could be seeing Max Moxxi before the end of January.
Oh, hey, here are two screenshots of this thing, too.
That was certainly not the case for me... I failed and had to restart a couple rounds.
If you die in the games existing arenas, you can't just respawn and get back in the fight, the arena resets and you have to start all over again. So yeah, the arenas was the hardest part of the game, because if even one of us died, we would all fail.
(EDIT: ^ As HatKing pointed out)
Why are you complaining?
This is ONLY speculation but it seems that the developers aren't quite attuned to the desires of the max level players in the game. Borderlands seems very mmo-esque if you will, and mmos need lots of endgame content to satisfy the player base. Its good that the team is releasing content but I think it would be better if they spaced the content out more and raised the level cap every time. Again, this is only an opinion from somebody who has not yet played borderlands so I may be way off.
What this all meant was that i started up Roland and had a childish like glee playing that game again. This game is in the top 3 games of the year for me so I hunger for more but what I find is that if they use the same thought process in this new DLC as the last one then I will pick it up and continue on with Roland. I am not trying to complain but i just want something more, where this can all be silenced is to allow the level cap to go beyond 50 and throw some crazy enemies at me . With my forum troll ramblings done I still can't wait to download this and spend some quality time with it.
lol, havent even played this game yet.
