One-hundred percent chance of raising the cap…sort of
Borderlandsfans everywhere have been clamoring for a level cap increase (from 50) basically since the first weekBorderlands 2launched. Naturally, Gearbox can’t just put off this discussion forever, soRandy Pitchford opted to speak to Venture Beatabout the issue.
Pitchford remains as outspoken as ever, saying there is a “100% chance of a level cap increase this year,” but also cites a “50/50 unforeseen consequence that some people will rage about.” The rage may come by way of glitches or broken characters, typically due to a balance issue when people start experimenting with more skill tree points.
He notes that Gearbox may have “painted ourselves into a corner here,” in regards to hinting at a cap increase through an achievement, and the eventual realization that going through with it is going to be a lot harder than they thought.
Personally, I don’t see all of the fuss on a level cap forBorderlands 2, as it’s a different game. With the DLC offerings, raid bosses are repeatable, which pretty much makes extra leveling moot. Like an MMO, extra “levels” basically translate to better loot; so reworking and re-balancing the entire game seems kind of pointless.
Still, if more skills were added, and extra replay value were to come my way through a free title update, I wouldn’t complain!
