Forum:The Evil Dr. F's Crystal Ball

The Evil Dr. F would like to go on the record predicting that the patch will extend everyone 's level cap to 69. to clarify, some believe the patch will add eight levels to your cap so what 58 for no dlcs and 69 if you have dlc4? i believe that would be just too much work for the devs and i dont think its what is being described. has anyone heard level 58 for the cap? i have not. please discuss. 10:44, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * It is implicitly suggested that the patch will raise your level cap by 8, so 58 for no DLCs and 69 if you have DLC3. Raising the cap to 69 for everyone would render DLC3's 61 pointless. 2:22-3:28 /  1:55-2:12  10:55, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's all I've been seeing on the GBX forums. No DLC 3 = 58. DLC 3 = 69. And considering there are gearbox employees patrolling who are pretty good about answering questions/correcting false info (AdamF specfically). Between that, and they do want people to have a reason to actually buy DLC3 while not leaving them in the dark entirely. Pearlescent guns and 11 more levels is a pretty good motivator to me.

i never heard him say 58. im sure they are all over this in the forums. NOhara can you get me a link of adamf or ennui stating two separate level caps. thank you. 11:44, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * My assumption is the same. I just can't see where the "58" is coming from. It looks to me like a game-wide rebalance, possibly including a third playthrough. As far as I can see everyone will be in a 69 position... -- WarBlade 22:53, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * @WarBlade & Dr.F, a quick google search yielded this destructoid article, this kotaku article and this giantbomb article. The last of which saying specifically "Players that don't have that third DLC release will be able to take it up to level 58." I didn't feel like scowering the forums, but considering AdamF and Ennui haven't come out and said "everyone else is wrong" as far as the level cap goes (Like they did with the skill points from when Legendrew cracked the patch files, correcting everyone from 10 to 2.) I'm pretty sure they're gonna run 2 different level caps. NOhara24 16:46, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

brad's and ben's articles were already linked by nagy (did you read) (refering to an unpublished conversation on x-fire, Dr. F 's bad). i submit to you that brad and ben are misinformed members of the {press?} who repeat popular opinion and do not suffer the need for a retraction because its essentially impossible to sue a blog. stephen's does not say 58. the correction of 10 to 2 was diversionary. dlc4 = 10 skills points because you will need to have the patch to play the dlc (having it both ways). marketing scheme to enhance perceived value of a (free) patch required to play the game online. thank you for reminding me that although adamf and ennui work for gearbox they are also secretly being paid to say what gearbox wants them to say ;0)  23:10, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
