Pieville Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I don't know if this has all been answered/covered already, I haven't been on these forums for about a year, in fact I haven't really played games for a long time but Borderlands 2 is getting back into the gaming spirit. Anyways, back to topic; Will the Slaughter Dome DLC be up for purchase if you do not get it as a pre-order bonus? Will it count as part of the Season Pass? How much will it cost? Or will it simply be released for free at a later date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteXPhoenix Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It will be available a month or 2 after release for all countries and platforms, says Gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickinOnaChain Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I really haven't heard of what the DLC will be, so this is news to me. But the name makes me think of another "dome" Borderlands DLC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalTodger Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I really haven't heard of what the DLC will be, so this is news to me. But the name makes me think of another "dome" Borderlands DLC! Pretty much what it is, It's the Gamestop Pre-order exclusive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickinOnaChain Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Pretty much what it is, It's the Gamestop Pre-order exclusive.. Oh.... I'm getting it then, if it's a Game Stop preorder bogus...uh bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDVS Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Will it count as part of the Season Pass? How much will it cost? Or will it simply be released for free at a later date? I would like to think it would count as part of the Season Pass, but then again I don't. It was said the Season Pass would cover 4 future DLC's. If I'm getting the Creature Dome as my preorder bonus thru Gamestop, I'd hate to think I would be essentially "wasting" one of my 4 discounted DLC's as I already have it. I'm sure the DLC's the pass will cover will be substantial in size, going by what we got for BL1. I don't know how big the Creature Dome will be as far as gameplay, it may just be a fun little diversion. In which case, Maybe 400-800 MS points. But in the end, I would hope it's just an added bonus to having the season pass, and not count against the aforementioned 4 DLC that is to be included.

Pretty much what it is, It's the Gamestop Pre-order exclusive.. I'm crossing my fingers that there are no achievements for this. I don't know if I could go through that again.

Annihil88torr Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Like he said above, Gamestop will have it for a month or two and then it will be released to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearbox has said that the pre-order content is not included in the Season Pass. Source (see NOTE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flandre Scarlet Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I really haven't heard of what the DLC will be, so this is news to me. But the name makes me think of another "dome" Borderlands DLC! Yup, that's what it sounds like to me. Gonna be another Underdome from the sounds of it.

xElysium Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yup, that's what it sounds like to me. Gonna be another Underdome from the sounds of it. Isnt it the hyperion slaughter thing theyve been showing us during the gameplay vids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDVS Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yup, that's what it sounds like to me. Gonna be another Underdome from the sounds of it. It's guaranteed to be an arena type DLC. But unlike Moxxi, this will let you gain EXP and loot drops that carry over to the game. It's also highly unlikely that it will have any Achievements tied to it (I could be wrong) as it's not a standard DLC release. It will likely be available to all in due time, but for now, it is only a Preorder bonus, not much unlike the Premier Club itself. Point being: there shouldn't be any worries or fears that this will be another obligatory grind-fest. There will be plenty of time for that later!

Lukedawg Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Im just happy u get xp from it and lets all hope some good loot.... and please dont take 56468415168468 hours to complete..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieville Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 What do people think the price will be if you decide to buy it at a later date? With the Mechromancer DLC being 800MSP, does anyone think that the Slaughter Dome will follow suit? I'm hoping it's only 400MSP or even cheaper.

Epic Templar Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Thanks for this thread and the replies. I was wondering all of those questions myself xD Thought I might add that if you live in the UK GAME and Gamestation also have the Creature Slaughter Dome as a preorder bonus.

LordDVS Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I've started seeing the newest GameStop commercials featuring Borderlands 2, and the preorder bonus of the Creature Slaughterdome. Useless information, but I guess there are still people out there who need to know about the game, or need a reminder that they are really late in preordering, and need to get that done now! I'm just excited to see the hype train kick it up another notch. It's hard to ignore BL2s coming! Less than 2 weeks to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magician NG Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 It's BL2's version of horde mode. Everything earned in the CSD (XP and loot) is brought into the campaign. It's a nice GS exclusive. I have no idea if it's being made available for general public purchase sometime after launch though. Could somebody post a link as to when it'll be available post launch to all BL2 players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
