Read the wiki news and weep! I see this is a victory for all those who apprediate the RPG elements of Borderlands. It's what really sets it apart from the mass of typical shooters there are out there. Hopefully, they'll scale the rest of the game, too. Either way, all hail 500x9 shotties!GT: ConceitedJarrad XBOX360 01:17, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

69? Lol. Gearbox, your quirks never cease to amaze me. And actually, this doesn't upset me as much as I thought it would, especially since today has been spent soloing craw ( my first 3 unforgivens, a troll, and a chimera later, round 1 is over.) I'll just WillowTree all my guns anyway. I'm curious to see how they're going to handle the Skill Tree though.
EDIT: @CJ, in the Kotaku article on the front page of the wiki, it says they're doing some rebalancing, so hopefully this means level 69 enemies everywhere.

Hopefully these level 69 enemies everywhere also have relevant name changes. >;3 Ekflagristoj 02:31, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
What what? They're.. really?! Nice!!! Maybe I will but LDC4 after all.. WhackyGordon 02:41, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
There was a 4th tier of names for many of the enemies in the patch files that were uploaded by Legendrew on the Gearbox forums. I've always felt that was good evidence for a 3rd playthrough of the entire game. *Fingers crossed.* Not to mention, some of the elements could use some retouching (let's be honest, the Hellfire breaks the game) sort of how they made shock more powerful, and I think blast could use a little help as well. I'd also like to be given a reason to use repeater pistols, being that they're out-gunned by every other option available. Hopefully "rebalancing" includes this type of stuff, too.GT: ConceitedJarrad XBOX360 02:46, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
This is bittersweet for me... Most of my guns are level 61 now, but now, they will be obsolete... As long as Crawmerax is level 72, I'll be happy. Uberorb 
Looks like I chose a good time to get this game, meh, still gonna wait for the GOTY edition and save $20+ BlackSoulBlade 03:33, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
Now those guys with level 70 characters won't be so bloody special anymore (especially on the 360). I'm lovin' this news, but it means I've got to re-WillowTree my collection of class mods to level 69 after the update & DLC4. AtlasSoldier 05:20, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Also, "relevant name changes". How about "Oral Flaming Psycho"? AtlasSoldier 05:21, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
